Chapter 61: (The Book of Sins)
Chapter 61: (The Book of Sins)
Alex read the book and the cover says Devil Tome: The Deadly sin of Envy
"Devil Tome?, what is this?." Alex asked while holding the book that has dark aura surrounding it
"It's supposed the cultivation technique of a Devil." Sistine said when she sees the book
"Cultivation?." Alex asked because the cultivation techniques he knew are from the novel and anime he read before
"Yes cultivation dear, cultivation is also one of the major things that will make a person stronger." Sistine said
"I see, I have a bit of knowledge of what cultivation is." Alex said he knew about
"Dear if you cultivate you could also fasten your experience points to make you gain another level." Sistine said
"Really?." Alex asked
"Yes dear, cultivation is one of the main path towards godhood." Sistine said
Alex nodded his head and focus his eyes on the book, he opened the pages of the book and it introduced a legendary devil called Leviathan and his techniques he trained in his life.
"When I read this, I think it's a bit familiar." Alex said while reading the book because somehow he is familiar with it
"How so dear?." Sistine asked because she was with Alex in his whole 4 and a half years in Arcadia but she knew Alex know nothing about the Devil book so she was confuse when he said that it was a bit familiar to him
"Let's see, let me think a bit." Alex said and focus all of his memory, by having a eidetic memory he quickly remembered something
"I have thought of something." Alex said
"What is it dear?." Sistine asked she was really curious on how Alex was familiar of the book
"Let me ask first, How many cities are there in the Human Continent?." Alex said
"It should be 7 dear." Sistine was confused why he asked about the cities but she still answered
"Name each of the seven cities." Alex said
"Let's see from top to bottom should be, first is Superbia, next is this city Invidia, followed by Ira, Acedia, Avaritia, Gula, and finally Luxuria." Sistine said all of the cities of the human continent
"That's it I don't know why they named the cities like this though." Alex said he was confused why the cities was named like that
"What is it dear?." Sistine was really curious now because she know that Alex really have know it but she don't know how
"The cities named should come from one of the seven Capital Vices or should we call The Seven Deadly Sins." Alex said this was what he remembered from his memory in his past life
"The Seven Deadly Sins?." Sistine asked it was the first time she had heard of it
"Yes the Seven Deadly Sins are namely, Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony and lastly Lust." Alex said the list of all the seven deadly sins
"Dear isn't it different from the name of Cities?." Sistine asked because she found it weird because from what Alex said, that the cities name came from the seven deadly sins but their names is different
"Silly, because it's a translation." Alex said while smiling
"Translation?." Sistine asked she was really confused
"Yes, translate it from the latin word." Alex said
"You mean?." Sistine translated it on the system
"Yes, the name of the cities are the latin word of all the Seven Deadly Sins." Alex said
"Pride for Superbia."
"Envy for Invidia."
"Wrath for Ira."
"Sloth for Acedia."
"Greed for Avaritia."
"Gluttony for Gula."
"Lust for Luxuria."
Alex said all of the translation of the seven deadly sin from english to the latin word of it
"I see, I understand it dear, but why is this associated with the Devils?." Sistine asked because she didn't what's the connection of the seven deadly sins to the Devils
"Coming from the word Deadly and Sin in the seven deadly sin are the things that the Seven Prince of Devils committed and turn to a demon
"Lucifer the epitome of Pride or Superbia."
"Leviathan the epitome of Envy or Invidia."
"Satan the epitome of Wrath or Ira."
"Belphegor the epitome of Sloth or Acedia."
"Mammon the epitome of Greed or Avaritia."
"Beelzebub the epitome of Gluttony or Gula."
"Asmodeus the epitome of Lust or Luxuria."
(Reference from Binsfeld's classification of Demons. P.S. Demon and Devil are different from my Novel.)
Alex said all of the name of the Devils and what sins they had and the epitome of it.
"I see dear." Sistine wasn't confused and anymore and understood what the Seven Deadly Sins
"You understand now?." Alex asked after he explained the Seven Deadly Sins
"Yes dear, in short the Seven Deadly Sins are sins from the Seven Prince of Devil and their Epitome." Sistine said
"I guess you could call it that way." Alex commented from Sistine summarizing the Seven Deadly Sins.
"I found it strange though that why the city in the human continent are named after the seven deadly sins." Alex said when he finally cleared all of his familiarity to the name
"Maybe the Devil's came from here and went to your world?." Sistine hypothesized
"That's what I think too but this is the Human Continent, it could make more sense if it was the Demons Continent." Alex said, he was confused because there is no way that a Devil was a ruler of a Human Continent that made the humans named the city after their names
"I'll stop thinking this for now, and from what I know I think all of the seven cities will have some kind of cultivation manual." Alex said
"Yeah maybe because this city is named Invidia so what you found here is the Sin of Envy, it could be possible to find the other sin to their corresponding city." Sistine said
"Yeah maybe, if I have sometime I will search and complete all of the seven deadly sin book." Alex said because he is planning on cultivating using the books, as it is named after the Seven Prince's of Hell it should be strong
