Chapter 2 Be open and honest
According to Joseph, the Order of the Holy Cross was founded 40 years after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ (IΔsousChristos, or IΔsous Christos), in 73 C.E.
(Note: Jesus is the central figure of Christian doctrine and the founder of Christianity.) In Christianity, it is also called Jesus Christ Christ, which means anointed one, referring to the savior whom God sent to earth with holy anointing. Others called him Jesus of Nazareth. The original Holy Cross was not called the current name, but the Templar Crusade, also known as the Knights Templar.
Because Jesus was crucifixed at the age of 33 and buried at the age of 33, it is said that he died and rose again three days later, and more than 500 people saw Jesus in the next six weeks. The lives of the disciples who had already been discouraged were suddenly changed, and the Christian church was born, and it grew rapidly!
(Note: Christianity is a religion based on faith in Jesus Christ as Savior.) Roman Catholici**, Protestantchurches, and Eastern Orthodoxy, because these three major denominations belong to Christianity, referred to as Christianity. It is also referred to collectively as Christianity without other interpretation. At this time, Peter, the first disciple of Jesus Christ, was the head of all the disciples, and he went to Rome to serve as the first bishop of the Roman Church during his mission, and Peter was also the first pope later, also known as Pope - St. Peter, and selected hundreds of warriors from a group of people who volunteered to follow him, and these warriors were carefully selected to form a voluntary guard to protect the Pope, with the responsibility of protecting the Pope's safety.
The people who can enter the ranks of the Templar Crusaders are all brave warriors and deeply believe in Christianity, and it is a great honor to be a secret organization with a maximum of 108 elites in the organization, and it is a great honor to be directly appointed by the Pope to be in this team.
Later, due to disagreements within the Templar Crusaders, they were divided into two factions, both of which became secret organizations, the former of 70 members has grown to the present day as the Templar Secret Order, referred to as the Holy Cross Society for short.
As for the reasons for the differences at that time, it is unknown, after all, they have been drowned in the torrent of history, and it is impossible to get to the bottom of it, unless you ask the parties.
The Holy Bishop in the Council calls himself the Holy Pope, oversees all matters of the Council, and has four bishops under his command - the white-clothed cardinal, the cardinal, the blue-clothed cardinal, the orange-clothed cardinal, and the twelve apostles, each with miraculous skills.
The last 38 opponents formed an organization called the Dark Cross Cult by the Holy Cross Society, the full name of which is the Dark Pavilion Hidden Cross Cult, referred to as the Dark Cross Cult, and the membership is unknown.
Since Joseph's information was obtained from the dictation of Bishop Albus, it is understandable that it is not very detailed.
After a general understanding, I broke out in a cold sweat, it turned out that the Holy Cross organization is also so large and long-standing, and the Sacred Heart of the White Cardinal, Albus Don Sabanco, has opened my eyes and knows that I can't fight against it.
The blue-clothed bishop who saved Alice, Safi Meadows, is dead, and the two bishops have gone, and from the strength of Bishop Albus, it can be inferred that the remaining bishops must not be simple people, let alone the twelve apostles.
I was shocked and asked, "So, Joseph, are you?" β
Joseph understood what I meant and explained, "I am only a disciple of Bishop Albus, not one of the twelve, but I don't know if there are any disciples among the other bishops." β
Joseph continued: "This time I accompanied the Bishop to invite Alice back to the church for execution, and it was imperative."
I immediately interrupted Joseph and said urgently: "When Bishop Albus met me, he promised me not to take Alice back. β
Joseph looked nervous and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I won't do it now if you tell me to do that, and I believe everything you say." β
Watching Joseph confess his heart like this, I felt like a close friend, and this was the first time I knew what friendship was since I became a killer.
I then told me about my encounter with Bishop Albus, and about the unintentional lifting of the witch's seal and the curse on my body, and this time I was brief, and Joseph understood.
Upon learning that Alice's time might be short, Joseph sighed and asked, "What are you going to do?" β
I really didn't have an idea, and I said blankly, "I don't know either." β
Joseph nodded and said: "Alice is here, I won't say that no one will know about the Holy Cross, but the Pope has already suspected my master's disloyalty, and after a long time, he may send another group of people to look for it, I have been raised by Bishop Albus since I was a child, and I have also received the grace of the secret meeting, first of all, I will not disclose the location of the secret meeting, and then I must reply to the church for the death of the bishop, so that people can mourn, and I can go back to the church to tell the witch, and maybe I can also find a way to deal with the witch, If the Pope sends someone to arrest Alice again, I can still mix in for protection. β
I stretched out my hands and clasped Joseph's hands tightly, my gratitude was overflowing, this is equivalent to rebellion, for a person who grew up in the church, how difficult it is to make such a decision, you can know that he has struggled more than a thousand times in his heart without talking to me in the past two days, and now that the knot is solved, he will naturally have an honest conversation with me.
Joseph didn't tell the truth, how did I know that the prospects were so unoptimistic, and the hidden troubles were endless, but fortunately he was on my side, otherwise with Joseph's ability, it would have been a piece of cake to deal with me who was defenseless.
Joseph added: "But I can't tell you about the stronghold of the church, because it was where I was born. β
I smiled bitterly: "Even if I know the location, I don't dare to go, you are so powerful, and the place where the Pope stays is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and it is not a dead end to go." β
Joseph said proudly: "I will not personally send Alice to church, and I will protect her, for her and for you, you are now with miraculous powers, and it is a miracle that you are not afraid of being hurt, and the witch who was released must have a wonderful connection with you, or maybe we will work together to seal her back." β
I saw that Joseph was in high spirits, and thousands of words came together in one sentence: "Thank you! β
Joseph tapped me on the shoulder, and I said at the same time, "What do you think of Snowy?" β
Joseph thought for a moment, shook his head again, and said, "I just think she's not bad, but her identity is a little special, how can we know if she doesn't say it herself?" β
I told Joseph about my doubts about Beixue, from what I saw and heard on the cruise ship and my analysis in the morning, Joseph frowned and said: "According to what you said, Beixue's identity is extremely not simple, and there is an ulterior secret to marry the baron, you said that she shot and carried a gun on the cruise ship, and she actually prepared coins in advance during this escape, so she must be running away from marriage." β
I was surprised: "Running away from marriage? β
Joseph seemed to think of something, stroked his chin and continued: "I used to travel with the bishop to officiate at weddings, so I have seen a lot of escapes, but I have never seen this bride with such a gun in her hand. β
I almost fell on my heel when I heard Joseph's words, and the bride got married with a gun, so it may be helpful to tell him about strange things, but he can't analyze the situation of intrigue and intrigue in this world, Joseph said that the escape reminded me that it was not a marriage escape but a cheating marriage, and I was full of confidence in this guess, but it was useless to guess so little.
As if aware of something, Joseph suddenly cried out to me, "Isn't that Alice dangerous?" β
To be honest, I'm not worried that it's fake, if Beixue kidnaps Alice or takes Alice to nowhere to go, I really can't help it, but, since I know that she is a person with some purpose, even if she kidnaps Alice, she is here to blackmail me, so in this case, I can only wait for Beixue to automatically show her fox tail, or explain it myself.
I comforted Joseph, "Don't worry, if they had tried to harm us, we would have died many times." "To comfort him is to comfort yourself at the same time.
Joseph admitted, "Yes. β
It was already noon after talking for a while, the sun was shining, the sea breeze was blowing, and the Isles of Scilly were a good place for vacation, but there was still no sign of Alice and Bess returning, and Joseph turned on the TV in the hall and looked bored.
My heart grew anxious, and I stared at the beautiful scenery outside the window, waiting for them to come back.
As the minutes ticked by, I couldn't wait any longer, and said to Joseph, "I'm going to find them." β
Joseph also stood up and said, "Let's go together, huh?" That's not it," he said, and then reached out and pointed.
I followed Joseph's gesture to look over there, and saw Beixue and Alice walking slowly on the way back, Beixue was carrying a large bag in her right hand, and holding Alice's hand in her left hand, who had changed into a cool outfit.
I was worried about it, and immediately ran out to greet it, and when I came closer, Alice changed into a white camisole top, revealing pink fragrant shoulder skin, a pair of light green pants that were loose at the knees, and a pair of translucent yellow slippers were stepped on, which was very cute, and the fresh breath of the black hair that was blown by the sea breeze came to her face.
It goes well with Beixue's outfit this morning, like a pair of sisters, which is dazzling, but in my eyes, Alice always looks better.
Alice's face was slightly red when I looked at her, and she was probably rarely noticed by the boys, and I, who had always been a little cold to her before, was a little awkward and embarrassed, and the atmosphere was a little awkward and a little subtle.
Beixue's big watery eyes rolled and said to me: "See, dumbfounded, I have the clothes I bought for Alice, and I'll be angry if I catch one Alice." β
Beixue threw it casually, with my fast skills, I had to catch the big and small bags, Beixue saw that she was playing tricks on me, and she smiled and took Alice's little hand and ran inside, I had to follow behind like a goose.
As soon as they entered the room, Beixue and Alice collapsed on the sofa in the hall as if they were weightless, and Beixue said "hey" and said, "I'm so tired!" Mark, Alice says she's thirsty. β
I know that this Nizi wants to instruct me with all her heart, but Beixue is joking with me and messing with me like this, this is a good situation, maybe she will tell her secret.
I immediately took two cups, poured water, and sent them to Beixue first, and gave them to Alice, Alice looked at me and smiled sweetly, I didn't know how comfortable I was, and I was naturally very happy to see Alice recover so quickly.
Joseph watched the excitement from the sidelines, and suddenly laughed: "You don't know, you didn't go back before, Mark, anxious like an African gorilla." β
No one expected that the always solemn Joseph burst out with such a very vivid and interesting sentence, Beixue was drinking water and immediately sprayed half of my body sitting next to me, Alice just took a small sip, and almost choked when she heard the words.
I glared at Joseph fiercely, then patted Alice on the back, and Becky apologized to me, "I'm sorry, you can go in and change into clean clothes, hehe!" β
I had no choice but to go into the bedroom, take off my shirt, and while changing my clothes, I listened to Beixue say in the hall: "Let me report, Alice and I went to the clinic first, took a simple scan, and did a routine checkup, and it was indeed all right, and we went to the city store to buy a lot of clothes, and then we came back." β
I came out with a shirt on and muttered, "Does it take that long to buy clothes?" β
Although the voice was small, Beixue pricked up her ears and listened to it without revealing a word, and said as a matter of course: "Don't you know that it takes a long time for girls to buy clothes?" β
I shook my head and looked at Joseph, who spread his hands out to show that he didn't know.
Beixue saw my silent plea for help, and immediately said, "How can you know that neither of you has ever had a girlfriend?" But you should know by now. β
Joseph and I nodded our heads, and Alice laughed as she listened to Becky.
Becky Peak protruded and asked, "Mark, you tell you the truth, did you ever doubt that I would take Alice away?" β
I replied, "Yes!" β
Seeing that the two of us suddenly had serious expressions, Joseph and Alice's voices gradually became quieter when they had just laughed.
Beixue lay on the sofa and said leisurely: "There will be takeaways later, and I will tell you my secret when I eat."
Moments later, we listened to Beixue tell her story as we ate the chicken thigh burger and four big bags of summer sticks that were delivered, along with orange juice and ice cream.
It turns out that Beixue was born in the United Kingdom, she is 22 years old this year, worked as a translator in the secret service intelligence department, and was later sent to a special organization, in an incident investigation, the team members were all wiped out, and she was the only one who survived, vowing to find out who was behind the scenes, and her skills were trained when she joined the special organization.
When I asked what it was, Bess clutched her chest and gasped vigorously, bringing back her painful memories
The incident goes back to the secret training department four years ago
"Click, click."
The high-heeled shoes stood in the corridor made of stone floors, and a somewhat crunchy voice said, "Bescher Shala, come and report." β
A woman's voice came from inside the room and said softly, "Please come in." β
Beixue came to the house, only to see a 30-year-old black short-haired woman sitting in the office and looking at her, this woman's hair is slightly curly, her face is serious, without a trace of laughing meat, her nose is slightly hooked, and her red lips look like she is also a mustache, it seems that she is not a woman who can make up makeup, but she shows a personality charm that surpasses ordinary people, and has the demeanor of a leader.
The woman introduced herself: "My name is Ilona, and there is no need for anyone here to know the surname, you don't have to report your name in the future, you can also call me a chief, and you can't wear high heels in the future, understand?" β
Beixue straightened her back and replied, "Understood." β
Ilona glanced at the leather sofa that was idle next to it, and said to Beixue, "Please be seated." β
Beixue was a little hesitant to do this to disrespect the commander, and Ilona added coldly: "I will only say this sentence once, you have to remember well, everything I say to my subordinates is an order, what should I do as a soldier?" β
Beixue immediately replied, "It's to obey orders." β
Ilona almost cried out, "Answer me out loud!" β
Beixue replied again in a loud voice, "It's to obey orders." β
Ilona looked satisfied, but Bessie's instincts told her that the woman was not satisfied right now.
Ilona was really not satisfied with Beixue's slow response, and said in her heart how to send a delicate girl from above, how to bring the team in the future, and said sharply: "Then don't sit down yet." β
Beixue was a little frightened when she saw such a scene, she usually received some translation work to decode voice, but now she had to face such a terrifying boss, her little face turned white, and she almost sat directly on the ground.
Ilona knew that her tone was a little heavy, and said softly, "Go and sit down over there." β
Beixue bowed her head and replied, "Yes." β
When Beixue sat down on the sofa nervously, she listened to Ilona sit on the rotating chair and read the information and read her resume: "Beixue, 6 years old in elementary school, 9 years old junior high school course, 12 years old high school course, at the same time know the simple conversation and writing of Latin, at the age of 14 all high school courses were directly admitted to Oxford University, before going to Oxford, he already knew French, German, Latin conversation and writing, majored in linguistics at Oxford, and at the age of 17, he had mastered the grammar and use of 14 languages in the world, which includes the most difficult Chinese language in the world to learn. β
After Ilona finished reading it, she was shocked even more, this little girl in front of her is simply a genius!
Ilona continued: "At the age of 17, I served in the military for a year, served as the head of the special translation team in the special training camp, and after the secret investigation department excavated, I was assigned to the inside, and you happened to be 18 years old this year? "At the end of the day, Irona wanted to make sure.
Beixue still bowed her head and replied, "Yes." β
Ilona had to take a long breath in her heart at this time, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, thinking that it must be of great use to put such a person with an IQ equivalent to a superman here, and she had to take it with her this time.
Ilona pretended to make a gesture of "um", and then said: "The linguistics you have mastered will be of great use to our group, the country will give you the opportunity to perform, you have to work hard." β
Beixue still bowed her head and replied, "Yes." β
Ilona didn't care about Beixue at first, but now her attitude has changed, for fear that her tone will be heavier, such a character will not create a national treasure, and in her opinion, the best talent is equivalent to a national treasure.
Irona was not good at smiling, so she forced out a little smile, and laughed like crying, and said with a smile: "Welcome, become a member of the 'H.G' group." β
When Beixue said this, I suddenly remembered that the English letter "H.G" written in blood underground by the gang boss Mile when he died, is it a coincidence? Or is it some kind of code?
