"Asa, how's it going?! What do you mean?! ”

After exiting the Royal Chamber, Asa left the Imperial City almost as fast as he ran, and then rode with me back to the Windrider station. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Holy water, right? It's holy water, right? Spit it out! ”

His face was ugly along the way, and no matter how anxiously I asked, he would not answer.

It's been so long since I've drunk the holy water, is it still too late?!

"Gross! Gross! "Rushed headlong into my dorm room, and then Asa slashed at his throat desperately.

"Hey! Asa! Don't scare me! Hurriedly holding him, I patted him on the back anxiously, "Spit it out!" Spit it out! ”

However, the only thing that responded to me was the bloody phlegm that Asa vomited.

"Asa!"

What to do?

What the hell is going to do now?!

Go find plenty of milk to wash his stomach?

Help him pick his throat and make him spit it out?!

It's been so long! How is it possible to spit it out?!

Taoism? Yes!

Hurriedly took out the talisman - woo! What kind of Dao technique can cancel out the holy water!

"Sakura! Move! In a panic, I suddenly heard my father's shouting behind me, "Asa! Rise! ”

Without waiting for me to react, my father, who hurriedly entered the door, punched Asa hard in the stomach!

"Wow!" With a scream, a large amount of blood-colored ice erupted from Assa's mouth.

Hey? Ice cube?! Is it?

"Whew!" Hunched over, Asa reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "It's much more comfortable," and after a slight gasp, he showed a smug look again, "Julian, kid." Fighting with me? Ha! ”

"Are you alright?" I didn't have time to boil water, so I simply used the flame charm to heat up the glass of water that still had some water left, and then brought it to Asa, "It scared me to death - I spit it out?" …… Nothing, right? ”

"Yes!" Asa nodded. "I'm freezing to death! - Fortunately, Hieroni arrived just in time. ”

"You're so ruthless! I said you're okay with it for so long—" Father glared at him, then leaned over to pick up the ice that Asa had spat out. "Freeze the holy water into ice cubes and swallow it - you're smart!"

"Hey, hey!" Asa rubbed his aching stomach and laughed, "Only then can that bastard Julian give up?!" Ha! ”

"The ......," I asked, "Asa, are you really okay?" They all vomited blood and said—"

"What? Worried about me?! Asa asked with a playful smile.

"Nonsense!" I couldn't help but knock him on the head hard, "When, it's still so indecent?!" ――Is there anything going on? Say it! ”

"Sakura, don't worry about him." At this time, the father gently rubbed the ice cube in his hand, "This kid has a lot of magic - the ice cube has no sign of melting at all, and the blood on it does not smell of burning - his vomiting of blood should have nothing to do with holy water." ”

"How could that ......?"

- His stomach was frostbitten! That's why this kid is ruthless! With an approving look, the father smiled and scolded sincerely, "I can still endure so many ice cubes in my stomach, boy, I am convinced of you!" ”

"Hehe...... Asa grinned and scratched his head, "Aren't you afraid that Julian bastard will send someone to spy on me?" ”

"yes...... Julian ......" Speaking of this, his father's face gradually darkened, "Julian ......"

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

My father and I were worried that Asa was deceiving God. Will be punished by holy water as Julian said.

However, it's far from that simple.

Asa drank far from the holy water we know.

This is the secret of the Church, the Holy Water of Judgment.

Kill General Byon, the kind of holy water that Julian ordered Asa to drink.

It's holy water, yes, it's taken from the very bottom of the altar. Poisonous holy water.

"On the surface, it looks like it's no different from ordinary holy water—and it's fine for the clergy to drink it—but if the drinker is condemned as a sinner by the clergy, he'll be burned alive like General Baiang." Asa explained, "I don't know exactly what magic is being applied to this holy water - maybe even the people in the church themselves don't know, but its effect is obvious. For once condemned by the clergy, if you drink the holy water, that person is doomed to death - just in time to proclaim the absolute authority of God in the church. ”

"This is a secret of the church...... "My father asked, "where did you know that?!" ”

"Not my brother Shanan yet?" Asa pouted, "After all, he is the inheritor of one of the three artifacts of the Church, the Holy Wind, and those fanatical Mona sects have invited him to participate in the trial. Then he realized that something was wrong and investigated it himself. ――It just saved my life. ”

Yes. If only Asa had simply drunk it like General Baiang...... Woo! I can't imagine it.

"That's right, Sakura." Asa suddenly asked, "The red-eyed one has a grudge against Julian?" ”

"Huh?" I was stunned, "No?" - Have you never heard of Lacey? ”

"Then why does Julian have to die with red eyes?" Asa frowned strangely, "He let the red-eyed drink the Holy Water of Judgment, obviously he wants him to die!" - If I hadn't been pretending to be him, I wouldn't have been able to escape with my red-eyed self! ”

"Do you think you're away now?" The father, who had been frowning and thinking, had a solemn expression, "Asa, it's time to announce Lacey's death as soon as possible!" ”

"Huh?"

"Yes," I nodded in agreement, "it was too dangerous just now, Asa, let's get the 'Hero Serrestine' sooner...... Die. ”

"Now...... Is it appropriate? But Asa hesitated.

"It's time," said the father, "that Julian will wage a holy war, and whether His Majesty Sarabonte wants it or not, the army will be transferred by the Church, and the interests of the state during the holy war will no longer matter - the mission of the 'heroic red-eyed meteor' to give hope to the people, and unite the nobles and commoners will be considered to be over - Asa, take the opportunity to get out! It's been a hard time for you. ”

"But...... I always felt ...... "Asa is still hesitating."

"What?!" I tapped him lightly on the head and casually poured him another glass of warm water, "Still thinking about your Miss Moranshi?" - Are you really going to pretend to be Lacey and lie to her until she dies of old age? ”

"Huh?!"

"Don't think sister, I don't know!" I glared at him fiercely (after all, Asa was so dangerous just now, I don't know how to be angry with him now) "You said yourself, how many times has Miss Moranch been to Roquetar City in the month she has played the Lord of Roquetar?!" ”

"Uh...... You know all this—" Asa scratched his head in embarrassment, "don't worry, it's not a few times, and I'm still acting very seriously-ah!" I didn't mean that reason just now! ”

"What else could it be?" I wasn't angry, "Don't try to fool my sister!" ”

"No, no, no!" Asa waved his hand while looking at his father in agreement, "Hieronis, you say- will it be because the red-eyed is a 'hero'?" - A 'hero' who doesn't belong to the church?! ”

"Heroes?!" My father was stunned for a moment, but then he understood, "Are you saying that Julian doesn't want someone who can call on the people but doesn't belong to the church?" ”

"Yes!" Asa nodded.

“…… No way? At this time, I wondered, "Is this why you want Lacey to die?" ――Wouldn't it be nice if you thought Lacey was too famous and recruited him directly into the church? ”

"What if the red-eyed doesn't agree when recruiting?!" Asa asked rhetorically, "I think Julian must think so." ”

"Disagree?" I was stunned, "If the church is forced, even if Lacey doesn't agree, can't it?" - After all, the Church is the ruler of the whole continent......"

"But it's not as simple as getting rid of the red-eyed ones directly."

"Is that really the reason?" Father interjected, "Just because of this? ”

"It's possible," Asa bit her lip said, "and it's very likely!" - Don't forget that Acting Pope Julian was once a powerful figure in the radical Mona sect - and that bastard has been a fanatic since he was a child! ”

"Since childhood? You and he knew each other when you were kids? ”

"Yes, we were all students at the Academy of Magic, and we were in the same class," Asa nodded, recalling, "That bastard used to be very abnormal, and everyone hated him—we were all busy peeping around, and he was holding a theological book all day long, dreaming of saving the world by miracles!" ”

Belch...... This one...... Abnormal?! Why is it that people don't feel normal, but Asa and his classmates......

Assa, however, did not notice my strange expression, and went on to say to himself: "On one occasion he was admitted to the Church for his excellency in theological papers, and then he became a member of the radical Monadians, and was appreciated by the Monnes elite as the youngest regional archbishop. Now it turned out to be the acting pope, cut! ”

"Such a child is indeed liked by the radical Monapie," the father frowned and sighed, "making him the acting pope...... It's too dangerous. ”

Yes...... Fanatically launching a holy war against the Demon Realm, drawing the entire continent into the vortex of war, and not hesitating to kill people who are not trusted by the Church, wanting to kill Lacey......

"Now, Hironi, Sakura," Asa's expression became unusually solemn, "I'll play the role of Red Eye for a while longer, right?" ”

"Huh?"

"I always think it's too cheap to let the 'Red-Eyed Meteor' die now, that bastard," Asa smiled mischievously, "Julian himself wants to die of the Red-Eyed, and now it happens that the Red-Eyed Meteor is dying of illness isn't too much-"

"Don't always think about fooling around!" His father smacked him dissatisfied, "Don't forget Julian's last mission to exterminate the Burial Corps!" It's clear that he wants to force Thresten to death! ”

"I know all of this - but ......" (to be continued)
