Paul's explanation was interrupted by an accident.
Barton, who was in charge of the sentry post, brought back an unconscious man from outside the temple and temporarily attracted everyone's attention.
The man was seventeen or eighteen years old and had curly brown hair. The man, dressed in a soaked monk's robe, with a withered face and chapped lips, seemed to have traveled a lot. The man's teeth were clenched, and even in a coma, he looked like he was facing a great enemy.
When Paul saw the man, he sadly took his body from Barton's hands, put him on the ground, and with Link's help, pried open the man's mouth and fed him some water.
"Do you know this person?"
Li Xianhua handed over a towel, and Paul took it with one hand, drying the hair of the unconscious young man.
"His name is Adair, and he is a monk by my side. Coming with me to China, without his help, I would not have been able to escape the surveillance of those people. ”
"Got it, he's your stand-in?" The people around him looked like they were aware.
"No, that won't hide it from them at all, I'm relying on this." Paul shook his head and pointed to his holy tarot cards.
"You've been all the way here!" Li Xianhua was surprised, "But it's not right, you"
"As you think, Lord Instantaneous, I don't have the ability to fight, and this holiness can't be used to fight." Paul said calmly.
Li Xianhua nodded, when he first saw Paul, he could see at a glance that although Paul had an extraordinary temperament, his body was too weak for an exorcist.
Now Paul told himself that his holiness could not be used to fight, that
"Is your holiness subsidiary?"
In the exorcist, Miranda, who was once rescued by Li Xianhua, is an auxiliary holy, relying on manipulating time to recover from injuries.
"Sort of?"
"So what is the use of your holiness? It can't just be fortune telling, right? ”
"It's a manipulation of fate, Lord Instant."
Half a month ago, Beijing.
In a room on the second floor of the inn, Paul watched with some apprehension at the traffic on the street below.
He came to Beijing under the guise of a missionary, and originally wanted to use this excuse to stay in China, so as to get rid of the papal clamp and find Li Xianhua.
But a few days ago, he received an order to return to Europe to report on his work, needless to say, the Vatican must have changed again, and those people are no longer satisfied with manipulating behind the scenes, but have reached out to the front of the stage.
Myself
"The tarot cards clearly don't look like that," Paul was a little confused.
"Your Excellency." The young monk Adair pushed open the door and walked in.
"How?"
"Their surveillance is still very tight, and they are not lax at all. The streets around the inn are under their surveillance, and the two of us can't get out. ”
Paul sighed. Is there really no way?
"My lord, I can only use your holiness." Adair whispered.
"You want to"
"My lord, I am willing to help you mobilize holiness."
"Nope! His Holiness the Pope has already paid a great price for me to leave the Vatican, and I can't let you, too," the always kind Paul was unusually angry.
Adair, however, was not afraid: "This is the time for me to die for God." ”
"You" Paul looked into Adair's determined eyes, "Well, I'm sorry, Adair. ”
"No need to apologize, my lord, it's my honor."
Adair followed Paul to the bedroom and watched as Paul pulled out the set of tarot cards that shimmered with emerald green.
Paul stretched out his hand and glanced at Adair again before drawing the cards, but the young man did not flinch in the slightest.
"Wake up, Laxis."
The summoned tarot cards emitted a warm green glow that filled the bedroom, but fortunately Adair closed the windows early to prevent the green light from emitting into the street outside.
The tarot cards surround Paul, who touches a card with his eyes closed.
Paul turned the card over, and it was "Tower".
The card depicts a towering tower destroyed by lightning, and two men falling from the collapsing tower to the ground.
Adversity, fatal blows, great upheavals, implications, constant distractions, abrupt separations, that's what this card is all about.
"It really fits." Paul shook his head, then motioned for Adair to come forward.
Without hesitation, the young monk touched a card in the air and handed it to Paul, the "fool."
The card depicts a young man with a puppy in tow, carrying light luggage, leisurely walking on the edge of a cliff and embarking on the journey of his heart.
Adventure, freedom, luck, and direct to the goal Paul looked at the two cards in his hand, and his voice was a little choked: "No, I can't"
"My lord, please give me this chance!"
At Adair's repeated requests, Paul tearfully swapped the two cards.
Two green rays of light shot out from the cards in Paul's hand, the light of the "Fool" entered Paul's body, and the "Tower" enveloped Adair.
The light in the room dimmed, and all the tarot cards returned to Paul's hands.
"Let's go." Paul wiped away his tears
"There's not much to say about the rest. I swaggered out of the inn, but the people who were watching me did not pay attention to me by various coincidences, and it was not until I went out of the city gate that the city began to stir up, but Adair attracted everyone's attention as soon as he left the inn, and he lured almost all the watchers away. I don't know what happened to him, but this boy must have suffered a lot, God, thank you for your blessing and keeping him alive," Paul couldn't help but cry.
"Can I say, 'Holy'?" Li Xianhua was stunned for a long time and finally spoke, "How can I believe you when this TM tells me!" Exchange fate or something, how can there be such holiness, oh!! ”
"It's hard to imagine, Lord Instantaneous. But it does exist. Paul wiped his eyes.
"Impossible! Holiness is all about fighting! How can there be such a vain thing as 'changing fate'! Then what kind of demon am I going to kill! Wouldn't it be over if you just went to the Millennium Earl and cursed him to death!! ”
Li Xianhua's mood is surprisingly irritable, and Paul's account is not so much absurd as it is because these words subvert his cognition.
Change your fate? This is the power of God, right? How could it be on an ordinary cardinal?
"Lord Instantaneous, I think that holiness is actually used to change fate."
Paul put his robe over Adair, stood up, and said bitterly, "Didn't your bullet change the fate of many people?" Kanda-sama's swords are the same, as well as the marshal's, and all the exorcists' are just in different forms. ”
Li Xianhua's pupils contracted instantly, and Paul's words lit up the memory and knowledge in his mind like a fire.
Koulos had told him that holiness represented the hope of the people.
Li Xianhua once thought privately: his holiness awakened on the battlefield, so he produced holiness in the form of ultra-modern weapons.
But what is behind this hope?
As Paul says, it's a desire to change your fate.
Field Marshal Ilka was in the form of chains, because he hated his youth for not saving the fate of his students.
Marshal Kulos's holiness is the Guilty Judge pistol, and that's because he has a deep hatred for the demons that represent sin. Another form, the coffin of the Virgin, represents his deep affection for his deceased lover.
There are also Aaron, Li Nali, Rabi, Kanda
Everyone's hope contains the will to change their fate.
Are these holiness with the power to change destiny a mercy or a gift from God to mankind?
At the ferry port outside Nanjing, three monks boarded a passenger boat heading downstream.
