Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Apostolic Cross

"By the way, although I let that lady escape, didn't you already get that [Piercing Sword]?" Zhao Mian frowned and looked at the three people in front of him who didn't look very good, "But it looks like you have completely failed." Did something unexpected happen?"

"Accident...... Maybe it was a very wordless surprise. The three of them all looked like they didn't want to speak, but if no one explained, I was afraid that there would be no way for the conversation to continue, so finally Tuyumen, who was more familiar with Zhao Mian, spoke, "[Piercing Sword] doesn't exist, and what Oriana Townsend is holding is just a sign of an ice cream parlor that I don't know where to get it. We were all misled by her, and the information we received in the first place was the most fatal mistake. ”

"It doesn't exist?" Zhao Mian thought for a moment and asked, "So that means that what they are trading in is not the legendary [Piercing Sword]. But that Lady Oriana is still wandering around in the school city, so what is she heading for? and what exactly they are trading in is probably the most important current event. ”

"I'm afraid we already know what they're trading. Steele put down the cigarette in his mouth for the time being, sighed helplessly, and said, "I guess it's the dominance of the school city and the whole world." ”

"It really doesn't seem that simple. Zhao Mian frowned tightly, the expression on his face became more serious, and the corners of his mouth, which were still smiling, also became tightly pursed, "The dominance of the world...... Do they want to start a war here?"

"I'm afraid it's worse than going to war at this time. "They were going to use a very powerful spiritual garment, called the Apostolic Cross, which was originally erected on the grave of the Crucidian Saint Peter, and this item, because of its historical significance, also led to its practical use - as long as it was erected on any piece of land, then anything that happened on that land would become in the interests of the Roman Orthodox Church." And the people living on this land will also be happy because of this kind of thing, and everyone will accept it, and there will be no objections. ”

"A world where no matter what kind of burden you carry, no matter what kind of unreasonable demands you are made, you will feel happy. Steele's face was very bad, but the whole person was much calmer than the one on the side, "And now they are about to succeed, as long as they can insert the [Apostolic Cross] into the school city, then the school city will naturally become the jurisdiction of the Roman Orthodox Church." ”

"That's not good news. Zhao Mian clenched his fists, but he was still thinking calmly, "I can still track the whereabouts of that lady here, but I am afraid that there are a few issues that need to be clarified before we can act." ”

"First of all, what the hell is that lady messing around in District 7 for. Since trading in the [Assassin Sword] was only a cover from the beginning, what did this lady do to wander the streets, no matter what the specific requirements of the [Apostolic Cross] were, wouldn't it be the best option to hide in a safe place all the time, and then deal with it once and for all when the time came? In that case, neither danger nor anything else would have appeared, would it?"

"Secondly, I want to know the conditions for the activation of the [Apostles' Cross] that you are talking about, and its specific effects. Or specifically, what specific conditions it needs to activate, and how much effect and range of effect it will cause. If I'm not mistaken,I'm afraid the other party is planning to come here with two birds with one stone, right?The school city is one.,And our gang suddenly appeared.,Another kind of power system that is completely different from the technology system and magic system of this world is the other one, right?"

"Finally," Zhao Mian asked, looking at the three people in front of him, and finally staring at Steele, "I hope to be able to confirm one thing." That's the Roman Orthodox Church of the other side, can this move be understood as a declaration of war?"

No one answered, no one could say irresponsible words like 'well, this is a declaration of war.'" The few people present without exception are all guys who do not want war, not to mention that what they are doing now is undoubtedly not to guarantee that war will not happen. Maybe the high-ranking ones are always controlling the fuse of war, and many of them are looking forward to a war, but all the people below don't want it to happen, because it's never the big guys who die, and the little guys in many of them are likely to die on the battlefield - or worse. His relatives and friends died in the senseless war.

"Well, let's just think of it as an inconsequential accident for now. Zhao Mian looked at the three people in front of him, nodded clearly, and said, "But if this incident really happens, I'm afraid it will definitely not be an accident." I hope you will understand that perhaps I don't want that to happen as much as you do, but Azeroth is a place that has always been in the midst of war, and although we are now mostly at peace, we are not afraid of any enemy when war comes—we have been through too many tests, and all those vicious enemies have fallen on the way. ”

"So, if we don't want to see war, I'm afraid we have to act now. Zhao Mian looked at the three people in front of him and said, "Then, hurry up, I will contact the observer over there right now, he will help us find that Oriana, and then I hope that someone can find all the information about that [Apostle's Cross] during this time, we need to know the activation conditions and the scope of influence of that thing." Only then can we make a corresponding plan!"

"You don't need to say this kind of thing. We've been doing it for a long time, now we just have to wait for news from the Puritan side," Steele lit the cigarette on his lips and took a puff, his face becoming even worse after Zhao Mian's words just now, "As long as we wait for the news from there, we can understand what the other party wants to do now!"

"However, ...... provoke a war," Tsuchigomon pondered for a moment, "is that really what the other party is planning to do? Absolutely not! Stirring up a war now will only make an already very ugly situation even more embarrassing. Damn, what the hell are those Roman Orthodox guys thinking this time? Are they already planning an all-out war?!!!"

"Whether they want to start a war or not," Uejo Danma, who had been silent, finally spoke, in a low voice, "Those guys actually picked on this time, and they did that kind of thing to Fukiyo. He clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and said, "Whatever they want to do, I'm going to stop her!"
