Chapter 260: Heart of Darkness

"Murder?" Leo was taken aback and refused the request without hesitation: "I can't do it." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Killing people is actually not too psychologically burdensome for Leo today, but it is impossible for Leo's character to agree to such an act that is likely to kill innocents by mistake.

Leo is a human being, and if he is a human being, he will be afraid, will endure, and will let go, but everyone will have their own bottom line, and when this bottom line is touched, this person will become extremely stubborn and unyielding.

"Huh?" A cold snort with anger came from under the hat, and the overwhelming ferocious momentum instantly enveloped Leo, Leo only felt a ubiquitous cold aura envelop him, constantly impacting the pores around his body, and the whole person's mind was also cold, and even his thinking was almost stagnant.

"Old friend, don't be too harsh with young people." A gentle voice suddenly sounded from Leo's side, and then the cold breath instantly receded like a tide. Leo breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and found that the Marquis of Habs had already entered the account at some point, and he didn't have to think about it to know that he must have spoken out to relieve Leo.

Whenever this important minister of the empire seems to have a smile like the morning sun on his face, people will always mistake him for the foreign minister in charge of harmony, rather than the iron-faced and ruthless justice minister. The Minister of Justice, who was not iron-faced at all, smiled gently, and did not continue to persuade Lei Feng behind the desk, but reached out and patted Leo on the shoulder, and said, "This thing on the painting is called the Heart of Darkness." ā€

"Heart of Darkness?" The confusion on Leo's face was palpable.

The Marquis of Habs gently explained: "The Heart of Darkness is rumored to be a gift from the Demon God of Hell, and it has always been held by the Dark Sect, and it is one of the two major artifacts of the Dark Sect. ā€

"Artifact?" Leo was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously glanced at Lei Feng, and finally understood the meaning of the third request made by Lei Feng just now: "You want me to kill the holder of this dark heart?" ā€

There was a cold snort from behind the desk, and although Lei Feng, who was wearing a hat, did not speak, the meaning was already very obvious.

Seeing this, the Marquis of Habs immediately spoke up and said: "That's right, this Heart of Darkness was the inheritance of the Dark Popes of the past, so its appearance can only represent one thing, that is, the Dark Sect is about to make another comeback. ā€

Leo was shocked when he heard this, and it was obvious that the impact of this news was not small for him at all.

Although the dark sect has been in complete decline since the fall of the Gitaka Empire three hundred years ago, and has been constantly hunted down by the church and the continent countries for hundreds of years, this is after all a super sect that once supported the world's first power, once the dark heart, the inheritance artifact of the dark popes of the past generations, appears again, it can only mean one thing - darkness is about to descend on this land again.

Although Leo has not experienced the time that the Phytaga Empire and the Dark Sect have ruled this land, and in fact, none of the few people here are monsters who have lived past three hundred years, but it is not difficult to deduce from the vast sea of history books, biographies and ballads that when the Dark Sect comes again, it will bring boundless sin and suffering to this world.

The Spany Empire, which once destroyed the Gitaka Empire and replaced the Dark Empire as the world's most powerful nation, is undoubtedly the first target chosen by the resurgence of the Dark Sect, and the thirtieth anniversary celebration of the Emperor of the Spany Empire is also a perfect time to start.

After thinking about all this, the cold sweat had soaked Leo's back unconsciously.

"Now you get the idea." The Marquis of Habs patted Leo on the shoulder again and said, "The person who holds the Heart of Darkness, no matter what kind of identity he has as a cover, but his real identity is only one - the contemporary Pope of the Dark Sect!" ā€

Leo took a deep breath and finally understood why Lei Feng made such a strange third request.

Whoever he is, as long as he is the master of the Heart of Darkness, then in order to keep the Spani Empire and the people of this continent from suffering, this person must die.

"But I still don't understand." Leo turned to the Marquis of Habs and said, "Why didn't you inform His Majesty the Pope and Emperor of such a thing, but found me?" ā€

Leo's worry is not unreasonable, you must know that the most nervous about the rise of the dark sect is undoubtedly the Spany Empire and the Church of Light, Lei Feng and the Marquis of Habs did not use these two super forces, but found their own little fourth-level magician, no matter how you look at it, there is some weirdness in it.

Marquis Habs smiled slightly and said, "Because you signed a contract with Michael's Scepter, and one of the well-known things is that the first pope of the Church of Light three hundred years ago defeated the last pope of the Dark Sect because of Michael's Scepter's restraint on the Heart of Darkness. Without Michael's Scepter, even the powerhouses of the Sanctuary would have nothing to do with the Heart of Darkness. ā€

It dawned on Leo that he finally understood why he had found his own reason.

"I promised, if I met the owner of the Dark Heart, I would do my best to kill that person." Leo pondered for a moment and then suddenly nodded vigorously, but not to the Marquis of Habs, but to Lei Feng behind the desk.

A cold snort sounded again, but this time, anyone who heard it knew that the Sacred Domain powerhouse behind the desk had actually turned his anger into joy in his heart.

Leo's heart suddenly burst into excitement, as a young man with boiling blood, it is inevitable that he will be a little excited after taking on this task of fighting to the death against the big devil who represents evil. But Leo quickly calmed down and decided to do a good job of investigating the enemy's information first: "So the question is, what is the effect of the artifact of the Dark Heart?" ā€

"I don't know." The Marquis of Habs replied dryly.

"What about its shape and size?" Leo asked again.

"I don't know."

"In whose hands might it be?" Leo didn't give up yet.

"I don't know."

"Holy." Leo asked, annoyed, "So what do you know?" ā€

Marquis Habs pointed to Leo's right hand: "All the information we know about the Heart of Darkness is in your hands. ā€

Leo subconsciously looked at his right hand and found that his palm was firmly grasping a piece of parchment, although the parchment was not completely spread out, but Leo already knew what information was inside.

"A circle?" Leo looked a little speechless: "So all you know is that there is only one circle?" ā€

"That's right." The Marquis of Habs nodded seriously and said, "All we know so far is that the Heart of Darkness is black and round. ā€

"There is no size, no shape, no effect, and you know that it is a black round thing." Leo was furious and said, "Do I see someone with a black glass ball in his hand, and I'm going to kill this person too?" ā€

This time it was a voice from behind the desk that answered Leo: "When that person makes a move, your questions will naturally have answers." ā€

This is nonsense.

But it's another very correct nonsense, a nonsense that makes Leo angry but can't refute it.

So Leo suddenly didn't have the mood to stay here, so Leo made a decision - to leave.

Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, it's better to go home and sleep.

But what Leo didn't expect when he walked out of the tent in a rage was that the night had just begun for him, and that there were more exciting and strange things waiting for him.

Go to bed? That's early.
