According to the final statistics of the Wettin family, a total of 1,080 knights were killed and wounded, and the loss of a series of pensions and armor and horses was about 200,000 gold coins.

The Hall of Punishment had killed and wounded 346 penances, and although there was no need for bereavement, it would cost about 20,000 gold coins to bury the dead and heal the wounded.

Pope St. Gregory intervened only after the battle had ended. In the end, after a tripartite negotiation, the Wettin family paid the expenses of 20,000 gold coins for the Holy Punishment Hall, and the Holy Punishment Hall needed to imprison Oss for the fourth year of prayer on its own.

At first, the Pope's suggestion was that the Papal Chamber intervene and detain Oss in the Vatican Basilica for four prayers, but Old Terry resolutely refused to relent, so he detained Oss in the headquarters of the Hall of Punishment on the top of Cyril Hill instead.

Triumphal Arch outside Caesars.

The Triumphal Terrace is a towering open-air platform where the Pope receives the faithful when they return to the Holy City to meet His Majesty the Pope after each of the Holy Cult's conquests of the Titan Empire.

The wind was bitter, as if it was about to blow everything in the world apart. On the tall and wide platform, Pope St. Gregory and Old Terry, First Consul of the Holy Punishment Hall, stood on the edge of the platform, silent, fearing the bitter cold.

After a long time, His Majesty the Pope was the first to speak.

"Archon Terry, the power in our hands is a gift from the God of Light. Shepherds can be majestic, but not for long. Otherwise, where will we put the canon, where will we put the trust of the God of Light?"

"His Majesty the Pope said yes, but the Hall of Punishment was indeed forced to do so this time, Oss was St. William's godson, and he himself was too important to us. If nothing else, he will be the next First Consul of the Hall of Punishments, and I hope that His Majesty the Pope will be considerate of our distress. Old Terry's eyelids were downcast, and he seemed to answer the Pope's question respectfully.

The Pope glanced sideways and gave Old Terry a deep look, then his expression gradually softened.

"Archon Terry, you don't have to be like this, you are highly respected in the Holy Sect, and I was not born when you shocked the continent. Strictly speaking, I am your junior, and this time I am also talking about the matter, not for you personally, nor for the Holy Punishment Hall. But such a serious internal friction in the church can no longer be repeated. Besides, the Holy Punishment Hall is also an important part of the Holy Religion, and I hope that the Holy Punishment Hall can take this incident as a warning. If there is a similar matter in the future, the consuls still have to put the Holy Religion first, and everything can be discussed and resolved. ”

"The God of Light is above, and Old Terry respects His Majesty the Pope. ”

Old Terry bowed his head deeply and bowed his head in prayer to Pope St. Gregory. That was the end of the conversation, and old Terry respectfully withdrew.

His Majesty the Pope looked at Old Terry's distant back and spat out a sentence softly.

"Old and ...... Dead"

Old Terry stepped back from the triumphal arch and glanced up at the tiny figure on top of the platform. The eyes are deep, and the gaze for a long time seems to look through the figure, looking at the sky beyond.

Then old Terry spoke softly. "It's for the thief......"

"I'm waiting below, but I'm sweating all over, I'm afraid you'll fight. Qing Erye's figure suddenly appeared beside Old Terry, and he also looked at the high platform with his gaze.

"If they can't be sure of the truth, they will definitely not do it, let's go, it's time to go back to the Holy Punishment Hall. ”

In the Hall of Punishment, Oss had just sent Ares away. He asked Ares to take one of his letters to Elena in Gothic City, Ilanshire, and instructed him to live in seclusion after delivering the letter and protect Elena for at least one prayer year. As for when Ares would return, Oss did not specify the exact time, but told him to wait for his notification.

Then Oss found the little fat Colin and took out the Staff of St. Peter.

"Colin, can you do something for me?"

Colin looked at Oss a little puzzled, when did Oss talk to him so politely and solemnly?

"Say anything directly, don't be so polite to me next time. ”

Oss nodded in agreement, and then continued, "Help me to give the Staff of St. Peter to Julia, and I must hand it over to her with my own hands." ”

Colin didn't take the scepter, just squinted at Os. "What's wrong with you? I think you're giving your last words. Don't worry, the Wei Ting family can't threaten you at all, as long as you stay in the Holy Punishment Hall, no one can touch you. ”

Oss stepped forward and shoved the Staff of St. Peter into Colin's hand before he added, "If you truly recognize me as a friend, you can do as I say, and don't ask about anything else." ”

Although Colin usually acts and talks like a gentleman, he is actually more serious than many people when it comes to big things. He looked at Os's solemn appearance, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart. "Can't you tell me what's the matter?"

Oss shook his head, "I'm not sure either, but you have to go now, trust me." ”

"Okay, then take care. ”

Colin suddenly stepped forward and hugged Os, and whispered in his ear: "If you really encounter a big thing that cannot be solved, try to find Second Master Qing." ”

Oss reached out and hugged Colin's fat body, slapping him twice on the back.

"I see, you can go quickly. ”

On the edge of the cliff, next to the tall statue.

Oss stood on tiptoe and reached over his head, realizing that he was exactly the height of the statue's knees. Immediately, he patted the statue and said in a somewhat mischievous tone, "You are so tall that you have been made." ”

"He's already tall. ”

"Yes, a man like His Majesty St. Peter, who has been glorified in his life, should be so high in our hearts anyway. Right? Archon Terry. ”

Oss didn't look back at all, and when he heard the voice, he knew that it was Old Terry, the first consul of the Holy Punishment Hall.

Old Terry walked slowly to Oss's side, and said, "It seems that you have already guessed something, why don't I see any fear on your part at all?"

"Is it useful to be afraid? It's not the same thing that should happen, and it will continue to happen. ”

Old Terry admired Oss's indifference, which was a very good quality.

"You're really different, not like a teenager, but more like an experienced adult. ”

"Is it for the Holy Punishment within me?" Oss stopped chatting with Old Terry and went straight to the point.

Old Terry nodded, indicating that Oss was right. So Oss asked again.

"What do you want to do after you get the holy punishment? Pope or Pope? No, if you really want to reach the pinnacle of holy religious power, you shouldn't stay in Cyril Hill for hundreds of prayer years like an ascetic, with your qualifications, if you really want to run for the papal throne, there is still a great chance. ”

Oss gave his own guess, but then he was disproved by himself, and he shook his head to say that he couldn't guess.

"I'm not for myself, I'm for the survival of humanity. Old Terry gave a shocking answer lightly.

Os's pupils shrank, and he pointed to the sky with some hesitation. Then he said with a shocked face, "Won't it?"

Old Terry nodded. "It's okay, you can just say it, they can't hear it. ”

"Isn't that a god? ”

"What if it was a scam from the beginning? Hahaha, it's almost like a demon from the beginning. ”

Oss was full of bitterness, the truth was so terrible, so cruel.

"I thought the gods were just fiction, and then even if I believed it a little, I just thought that it might be some kind of special being that looked down on the common people. But as you said, even if God is actually a demon, what does that have to do with holy punishment?"

"This is going to involve the battle to destroy the demons in the period of the ancient gods, after the end of the war, the demons suffered heavy losses, and the surviving demons covered up all traces of their existence, and then hid them. Originally, this secret had long been drowned in the long river of time, but after the establishment of the Holy Religion, St. Peter found some clues, and then established the Holy Punishment Hall, and later after the research of the Holy Punishment Hall of the past dynasties, it was found that the demons were only accumulating strength, and when they came back, it was the time when the human race perished. ”

"And the most important thing for the demons to survive is the power of faith, according to the message left by St. Peter, the artifact holy punishment is their only nemesis. ”

Oss understood that he was under holy punishment, which was why he became the target of old Terry's calculations.

"Am I going to die, then?"

"Won't"

"That's good, so let's get started. ”

Oss closed his eyes, he didn't want to argue anymore, he didn't want to fight for anything, for he saw the firmness in Old Terry's gaze, and whatever he said was useless.

The cold wind was bleak, and the stingers were cold. Old Terry stretched out his hands, golden light spilled out of his palms, and then a strange scene appeared.

I saw that the stone ball held by the tall statue suddenly floated into the air, and then slowly descended under the traction of golden light, and finally stopped in Old Terry's right hand.

And Oss's body also changed at this moment, and a golden ball of light slowly seeped out of his body, and finally stopped in Old Terry's left hand.

Perhaps sensing the appearance of a vision, two figures from far and near by the cliff quickly swept by, and then stood beside Oss and Old Terry.

The people who came were the old witch and the second master of Qing.

"Old Terry, what are you doing?" After seeing the situation clearly, Second Master Qing hurriedly asked.

In fact, after Qing Er Ye and the old witch saw the stone ball and the golden light ball that Old Terry was holding in his hands, they already understood everything, and the reason why they asked was because they were shocked that Old Terry wanted to do this, which was not at all the same as their previous plan.

"Xiaoqing, old witch, I didn't tell you the truth before, because I was afraid of leaking the news, and you also know that there are ears and eyes from all sides in the Holy Punishment Hall. Old Terry explained to the two of them in surprise and questioning.

"After absorbing the holy blood of His Majesty St. Peter, the Holy Punishment can open the first seal, and then the main body and the instrument spirit must be fused, and after the fusion, through the warmth of His Majesty's bloodline, the three origin energies can be transformed into the power of faith in order to unlock the second seal. ”

"That's right, our plan is to let Os, the only lineage of His Majesty St. Peter, inherit the artifact Holy Punishment, how can you take the instrument spirit out of his body now? Isn't our Punishment Hall's three-thousand-year-old plan a complete failure? Are you crazy?"

Qing Erye questioned fiercely, and now he began to wonder if Old Terry was him. So, both he and the old witch began to stand by and be ready to snatch the artifact at any time.

Old Terry sighed.

"I have deceived all of you, and His Majesty St. Peter has deceived all the people of the world. Their so-called family of Peter was really just a stand-in, and His Majesty St. Peter gave his surname to one of his servants along with the Holy Punishment Spirit, and then he made the servants completely hidden and multiplied, just for the present moment. Take out the machine spirit, fuse the body, and then use the stand-in to attract the eyes of the demons, as well as the two almost unsolvable seals. ”

"All of our previous First Archons of the Holy Punishment Hall are the lineage of His Majesty St. Peter!" Old Terry told the ultimate truth.

It turned out that all this was just a trick by St. Peter, the purpose of which was to make the demons unaware.

And now, after Old Terry takes out the Holy Punishment, Oss will continue to be a stand-in to attract all the peeps of the Demon Clan, bearing all the hostility and the seal on the Holy Punishment for Old Terry.

It turns out that Oss and his family are just tools, no wonder in the secret realm, that illusory St. Peter will say "sorry" to Oss.
