The capital of the Lane Empire, it was late at night.

In the stargazing platform at the top of the brightly lit castle, someone is looking at the starry sky outside the skylight of the dome through a huge astronomical telescope.

With the palm of his hand flicking the joystick beside him, hundreds of mechanical gears in the mechanical table under the telescope began to rotate with each other, and the metal mirror body glowing with brass color also moved slightly under the light

After a while, the stargazer suddenly straightened up, as if recalling a past event, his hands behind his back, and the ornate and delicate gemstone ring shimmered in the bright yellow light of the observatory.

Soon someone next to him brought a drink.

Cast in gold, the jewel-encrusted cup and the amber drink ripple slightly along the palm of the hand, exuding a mellow fragrance.

"When I was younger, about 8 or 9 years old, I asked my father how many stars there were in the night sky...... He told me that there was no end. ”

Taking a sip of wine, he picked up the silk handkerchief on the plate and wiped the corners of his mouth, and the man continued,

"You know, when we were kids, we were always dismissive of what our elders said...... Then I thought, if these stars are real, how can they be endless?"

At this time, there were several people standing behind him, tall or short, fat or thin, the only thing that was the same was the respect and humility on their faces, one of them had just opened his mouth to speak, and when he heard the other party speak again, he hurriedly closed his mouth, lowered his head, and continued to maintain a humble posture.

So I went to consult my religion teacher, and he told me that all the stars were created by the gods, and that they were thousands of incarnations, and that it might be a good idea to know how many there were, so that I could communicate with the gods with my own devotion and ask them to get the exact number...... But I've never been a believer, so where did I get my faith?"

"I went to consult my astronomy teacher, and he told me that the stars in the sky are not endless, but no one has ever really counted them, and no one can guarantee that the numbers they count are absolutely correct, so people think that the existence of this starry sky cannot be explored, and since it cannot be explored, then nature is infinite. ”

With that, he sat down behind the table in the observatory, looked back at the person next to him, and continued,

"From that moment on, I knew that the so-called infinity, the so-called ...... Omniscient and omnipotent, nothing but mortal wishful thinking. ”

Someone who had been standing next to him stepped out of the line, placed a suitcase-like object on the table, and unlocked it with a special technique and code.

The star map that once appeared in Dmingham has returned to its original place at some point!

Layers of fog lifted, and the two points of light it had been tracking finally converged in one place—Rapagard.

"The Messenger has delivered the treasure, and the Righteous Sect should gladly accept it, so are you ready to accept their return gift?"

He had seen this star map too many times, but he just glanced at it to confirm the content and waved it down, continued to sip the wine in the glass, and asked with a chuckle.

"Everything is in place, and I have been waiting for it for a long time. ”

Someone else took a step back.

"I am looking forward to that day as much as you do, and I hope you will be able to bring this years of planning to a perfect end. ”

Raising his free hand and waving it slightly, the men turned away without hesitation.

The gate then closes.

"How can you count the stars in the night sky?"

Inside the observatory, where there was only one person left, he asked again.

"Naturally, it was a cloudy night, and at that time, there was not a single star in the night sky, so there was not a single one!"

......

The morning sun shone on every brick of the city of Rapagard, and it was another sunny day.

Unlike the rest of the Lane Empire, the plateau where Rapagade is located is sunny, with occasional storms and rains only briefly occurring throughout the year.

The crisp breeze of the plateau blows through this neat and beautiful city, and the bells from the Temple of Justice echo throughout the city.

The people began their early morning prayers again.

The prayer of someone is low and loud, which is a humble chapter in the righteous sect, teaching people to act with kindness and justice, without mixing personal feelings.

Some people's prayers are fervent and heroic, and this is a chapter of struggle in the righteous sect, teaching people to stand up and fight against injustice.

The Righteous Sect is an excellent sect.

At least that's what they teach, or it is for those civilians.

But this era, after all, does not belong to these civilians.

......

"Big Donald, what do I need to do later?"

Julia took a bite of the apple in both hands, and she was so nervous that her face was a little reddish.

She didn't know what she was supposed to worry about, because until now, she still didn't quite understand what the soul that was inside of her was.

It's just that I'm just worried because the atmosphere in the team and the place I'm going to go today are very special.

"Relax, you just need to cooperate with the actions of the Righteous Sect later, they should take out the soul in your body, and with the means of the Temple of Justice, it shouldn't take too much time...... In fact, it should be a few of us who are really in trouble. ”

Donald should be more nervous than Julia, because he's the one who's going to negotiate with the Temple of Justice later.

Don't forget, the delivery of the "Holy Son" is just a unilateral act of the Lane Empire, and the Righteous Sect has not received any information at all, and everything has to be told by them.

To put it simply, what Donald and the others are doing now is to deliver a "time bomb" to their doorstep when the Righteous Sect is not looking, and then knock on the door and tell them that they have to dispose of the bomb, otherwise he will not be responsible if it explodes later.

This kind of rogue logic, if it were changed to other sects, Donald even felt that the other party might directly purge them as infidels.

The one that was burned at the stake until there were no bones left.

Because of this, Donald was thinking about how to communicate with the Righteous Sect all the way to make things go smoothly.

After all, Donald didn't know much about this sect.

Although his first stop in this world was the mission city of the Righteous Sect.

Cut the grilled sausage on the plate into two portions, feed one to Finger's mouth, and eat the other himself, and his eyes inadvertently fell on Lilo, who was sitting on the windowsill basking in the sun.

"Lilo, you will wait for us in the hotel later, after all, it is the Temple of Justice, no one can say whether there will be some detection circles inside, your identity is special, and it is not suitable to approach...... There is also this bone spirit plate, you can also help me keep it, and I can't explain it when the time comes. ”

After all, it represents the Temple of Justice, where the core of the Righteous Sect is located, and no matter how tightly guarded it is, Donald doesn't find it strange.

As a high-level undead, if Liluo's identity is revealed, it is almost certain to die, even if her current strength has recovered nearly eighty percent, it is still the same.

And although the demon serpent soul in this bone spirit plate can be prevaricated with the recovered evil soul, it can be one less thing.

It's never a bad thing to be careful in the details.

Even if it weren't for the fact that he was the person in charge of the mission, or the only one who knew about it, Donald might have asked Anthony to intervene.

Who allowed himself to dominate the Dome and control a part of the demonic power?

"Donald, the Righteous Sect's team, is approaching this way!"

Lilo, who was on the windowsill, suddenly summoned Donald, who immediately stood up and walked over the table to the window.

Not far from the street outside the hotel, a procession of heavily armed knights was approaching this direction.

"On the right too!"

Looking further to the right, there was also a team of knights approaching there.

"What's going on?"

Donald's expression suddenly darkened.

The other party is menacing, and it is obviously not a morning exercise or a church ceremony of the Righteous Sect.

He had a hunch that this was what he had come to them!

"Could it be that Horn leaked the news?"

Anthony had already come to the window at this time and whispered.

This speculation was not unreasonable, after all, they were in the ranks of the Righteous Sect when they saw Horn and his party in Rapagard.

"This ...... I can't think of why he did this, in fact the question now is why the Righteous Sect is putting on such a posture to 'meet' us. ”

As an insider, Donald understood what their mission was, and Horn obviously understood that there was no point in him informing the Cult of Justice, after all, they were meant to tell the Cult of Justice today.

"Go and ask them, and you'll find out soon?"

Stepfini put down his glass and got up to find Horn and the others, who were staying in the same hotel as them.

However, at this moment, Donald only felt a sudden energy pass through his body.

A voice rang in his head.

"I declare, here, no talent!"

In the next second, Donald was like a fish out of water, he felt the strength in his body be drained in an instant, and the sudden feeling of weakness made him reluctantly lean back against the window.

"Donald......! Do you hear that?"

Anthony's figure on the other side shook, and he obviously heard that sentence as well.

"My talent can't be used!"

Stefini tried to unleash his talents, but found that even his emotions could no longer be influenced.

"I can't use my talent, but my physical fitness hasn't changed, Donald, it's a conspiracy, a trap!

Anthony clenched his fists and found that his body, which had been strengthened by his talent, was still normal, and he immediately wanted to leave here.

But when he looked up, he saw Donald's face full of bitterness.

"Anthony, have you forgotten that this is the location of the Temple of Justice!"

Through Anthony's test, Donald soon realized that his mental power could still be used, but he was not at ease at all.

Antithesis.

Now Donald is chilling!
