Chapter Eighty-Three: Procrastination—The Hidden Investigation

"I know that...... Asa's laughing and scratching his head, "but Julian forgot to mention the deadline!" In short, it can drag on for a while! ”

This damn bastard! Still so unserious?!

"And then?!" Before my father could get angry at Asa, I asked, "You should be planning more than that, right?" What the hell do you think, Asa? Stop hiding! ”

"Ugh!" Asa looked at me in surprise and stuck out his tongue, "Ha! Sakura, you know me too well, don't you? ”

"Nonsense! Say it! ”

――How long have you been with them? Do you think my father can't see it, and my sister can't see it?!

Originally, people wanted to say this, but they were afraid of the father next to him - forget it, and it was a little embarrassing to say it directly. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info||

"Well......," Asa blinked, "I don't know why Julian thought Red-Eyed was dying - maybe it was just because the Red-Eyed guy was a non-church hero - but now we know that Julian did see the Red-Eyed Meteor as an obstacle." So I wondered, could this have something to do with the Non-God Society? - Sakura, don't forget that the Cardinal Frank next to Julian is a member of the Society of Non-Gods. ”

"But isn't that right? Didn't Frank and their non-god society know that Lacey was dead? "I questioned.

"I'm not talking about that! - I mean, is Julian wanting the Red-Eyed' death the same reason the Divine Society and the Masked Man want him to die? ”

"This ...... Does it make any sense? "Father didn't understand.

"It makes a lot of sense!" Asa raised his tone affirmatively, "The only people who know that the 'red-eyed' are dead are the non-god guild and the masked people. It's just us, and now there is one more force that wants the 'red-eyed' to die! So why do some people want to die 'red-eyed'? I think Julian might have some kind of information to do so, so we can use Julian like the Non-God Society did to investigate the Mask Man! ”

"You mean—" Father frowned. "Follow Julian's desire for the death of the Red-Eyed Meteor and investigate the mysteries that Thresteen and his Rocttar family still can't solve?"

"Yes!" Asa nodded, "It's impossible to rely on the Non-God Guild - and they've all asked Sakura to solve the mystery themselves, and the Masked People must know better, but they're completely gone now; Now that Julian has appeared, maybe we can dig something out of them! ”

"Well...... Makes sense......"

"But, in this case, Asa will be in danger for you!" I was worried, "And we don't know if Julian really knows anything." But he really wants Reis dead now—Julian doesn't know that Reis is Asa now, you pretend to say! ”

What if the situation happened again today...... Woo! In that case, Asa would be too dangerous. Just now, people were so nervous that their hearts were about to jump out......

"But this is also an opportunity, huh?" Looking at me, Asa blinked. Then he smiled happily, "What? Compared to the 'red-eyed' mystery...... I'm more worried about me now?! ”

"Die!"

"Uh...... But Asa was right, "The father on one side first looked at the two of us meaningfully, and finally changed the subject. "Then what are your plans for Asa? - What if you continue to play Threstin? ”

"Well......" Asa thought for a moment. Here's how I prepared it: Julian didn't have a time limit anyway, and we didn't even know where the funeral corps was right now - we'll take a moment to find out what Julian knew. Besides, Julian is now busy leading his Scarlet Spear Team to attack the Demon Fortress - Cut, then a few people dare to attack the Demon Realm, and it is best if they all die! - What if that bastard does succeed in taking the Demon Fortress...... After that, the church will definitely launch a holy war against the demon world as planned, and Ashetaro, as the general of the demon world, should also return to the demon world with his funeral corps, right? Even if we don't go back, it's not too late for us to find a way to annihilate them at that time. Also......" Speaking of which, Asa cautiously looked out the window. "And that Asshetaro seems to be friendly to the 'red-eyed', and if he doesn't explain everything to Aschetaro, he will take the initiative to retreat? That would give us more time to grind with Julian - it's not impossible! ”

"And what if he doesn't retreat?" My father was still a little hesitant. "Are you really going to fight that Ashetaro?"

"Huh?" Asa was stunned for a moment, then laughed and stuck out his tongue, "How come?" How can I beat an opponent you can't even win against Hierony?! ”

"So what if it really gets to that point? ――You're not ready to let your red-eyed meteor die by then? ”

"Hah! You don't want to think about it - if the 'red-eyed' is really dead, won't the mission of exterminating the Burial Corps become you, the paladin?! Asa's expression began to become a little serious, "At that time, we can't let the 'red-eyed' die!" - Even if you want to die, you will die in a duel with Asshetaro! ”

"Then Asa, you—" I interjected anxiously, "and what do you do?" ”

"Don't worry! I'm not that stupid! Asa waved his hand lightly, "When the time comes, bring that little priest Luca—oh! And the digital priest Minia also called together, plus Sakura, are we afraid that we won't be able to beat it?! Even if we can't beat it, the Digital Priest and the Holy Lancer will testify that the 'Red-Eyed' died heroically in the battle against the Demon General Ashetarus - then the acting Pope Julian has no reason to accuse us of not doing our best in the battle! ”

Then my father will be safe.

Dead Asa, even thinking so much.

You know how dangerous it is for you to play Thresteen right now.

Alas, dead Asa......

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Half a month has passed.

Just as Julian had promised in the council chamber, as the acting pope, he actually set out from the cathedral with a troop of less than fifty priests, the Scarlet Holy Lance, in a high-profile and magnificent manner. After passing through our country of Dolanar, we walked into the Demon Realm after a short stop at Tayek, an outpost of the Demon Clan in the south.

Is it fanatic? Or is it self-confidence?

Julian, with those who claimed to be elite priests, completely rejected anyone's application to join. Commoners and nobles alike, even knights who were completely loyal to the Church were mercilessly refused.

"We are the vanguard of the Holy War, and you are the main force of the upcoming Holy War!" In a speech to the people while passing through our country, Julian explained this.

Although this explanation is not wrong, it has also attracted many complaints.

The complaints were not only made by the knights who wished to take advantage of the opportunity to make a mark, but also from within the Church.

"I don't know what the Acting Pope is doing!" Little Luca, who took the opportunity to come to me, complained angrily as she stuffed the steak in her mouth. "Luca and I weren't allowed to fight! It's annoying! After a pause, she added, "Even Sister Minia can't participate!" ”

Reputedly. The jihad was entirely dominated by the Mona, the cult of the church (also, after all, Julian was originally the Monadian), and the relatively moderate factions that had once belonged to the old pope were all ostracized - including the most powerful digital priests in the church.

"That's it!" Minia on the side also complained unwillingly, "What 'blood-colored holy spear'?!" I've never heard of it. The Acting Pope actually wants to rely on that group of people to attack the Demon Realm?! ”

"Huh? You haven't heard of Minia either?! "While busy with schnitzel (!) I asked curiously.

How? Didn't you say that the Scarlet Spear Team was an elite of priests? Why haven't you even heard of a digital priest who is a priest?!

"Never heard of those zombies!"

"That's it!" Little Luca helped her while feeding her pet cat bell, "What 'Scarlet Holy Spear'?!" It's disgusting! The only one who can be called a holy spear is Elise! Luca, my Elise! As she spoke, she looked up at the spear beside her angrily, "Only Luca and my Elise are holy spears!" ”

"Yes, yes, I know your Elise is amazing!" I smiled and helped her add a steak and comforted the black cat by touching the head by the way. "They just have 'Holy Spear' in their name!"

"But but!" Little Luka ripped off most of the meat steak in one bite and muttered a bulging mouthful! They said...... They say, there is no need for a sky gun now? Illista, as long as they have a blood-colored holy spear in their hands that is no less than the heavenly spear, the demons will definitely be defeated! - It's too much! Luca, my Elise is the strongest! - Hmm! Delicious! Luca, I still want it! ”

"No less than a spear?!" I wondered.

"Yes," Minia replied on behalf of little Luca, "the Scarlet Holy Spear is indeed so strong that even little Luca can defeat it—"

"Luca, I'm not defeated!" Little Luca shouted urgently.

"Think about it yourself!" Minia deliberately frowned and put on a mentor's face, "You're really undefeated?!" ”

"Ugh!" Little Luca stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "It's Luca and I accidentally ...... it myself"

"Defeat is defeat, what so much nonsense?!" Minia, who had a straight face, patted little Luca's forehead, "I lost this time, let's win it back next time!" ”

"That ......," I interrupted Minia's teaching, as I was on the side, "that...... Was little Luca really defeated? ”

"It's a fiasco!" Minia sighed lovingly as she touched little Luca's head, "It's not just the strength, the little guy loses in terms of combat skills (at this time little Luca snorted dissatisfied), and it's also lost to the youngest priest in the Scarlet Spear Team - a year younger than Luca!" ”

"So powerful?!"

Recalling the appearance of the blood-colored priests in the Royal Council Chamber half a month ago - they do give people a strong feeling of strength, but ...... But even the successor of the Heavenly Spear, if you don't rely on Taoism, even me! (To be continued.) )u
