43. Something that fell from heaven
The ritual has finally begun, or rather, it has finally begun. But compared to the joy she felt when she first saw the oracle and learned for the first time that she was going to hold a ceremony to help the Inquisition through the difficult time, she should have left herself with more doubts now.
The Inquisition now resembles a sinner with his hands and feet tied, waiting for a stranger who has nothing to do with him to decide whether he lives or dies according to his preference. Honestly, it's certainly not a wonderful feeling, especially for his "one hand".
Obviously, he should use "himself" to save the entire "body", but now he is bound by his "body" and has no way to act.
"What is this?"
Anxious, Filily threw her fist at the wall without swinging her fist, but before she could fall, she took it back in a daze. It might be better if it was really just because of the fear of pain, but unfortunately all of this is just a so-called "ritual" for the sake of the divine envoy.
Not far away, a faint singing voice was already heard, apparently a sign that the oracle had begun the "ritual". There may not be many people who can be there in person, just like those poor people who attend concerts but don't buy tickets, all Filily who belongs to the Ombudsman needs to do is stand on the periphery of the Divine Messenger and guard the safety of the Inquisition. The job didn't make her complain, but it wasn't popular.
"Whew, that's a good song."
Knowing what to do, Filily leaned against the wall and watched Elizabeth break free from her palm because she was worried about herself.
"Na Elizabeth, what am I going to do if she does call 'something'?"
If. Only if, of course. The Divine Messenger really summoned the words of the "creature" that the believers most wanted to see. Then their only remaining purpose is naturally to obey him. After all, this is what the believers believe. But, in reality, is that really the case?
For a moment, Filily seemed to think of something, but in the end she chose to wait quietly for Elizabeth's words, because she was honest and rigid and sometimes gave good answers.
Just like this time.
"I think you can resign as Inspector General of the Tribunal and seek a new position elsewhere."
Elizabeth seems to have no idea what the concept of "cultist" is, but continues to explain something with her simple cognition that is no longer allowed by the judges. Maybe that's the merit of the machine spirits.
"At least then you can do what you want, like ......"
"Why didn't you say it?" Because Elizabeth was too serious. Instead, she laughed, "So you know how to be shy, too." ”
"Anyway, I'll always follow you."
“…… Thank you. ”
Beyond thanks, Filily couldn't think of any more answers.
Indeed, as Elizabeth said, if she resigns from her position here and goes somewhere else, she will at least be more free, and in the current situation, she and Elizabeth are not homeless, at least from the savings to support you for a while. If you can find ...... on top of this Yuzu's words, I believe that you don't need to say it yourself, and your future life can be arranged immediately.
But. This is an act of apostasy for the "cultists", although they have reached a dead end. But even though Archbishop Freya knew that she was going to the precipice, she still clung to her false "faith". Although this is not commendable, at least in this determination, she cannot be much worse than her.
And as the Inspector General, I don't want the city I've been guarding to start getting more and more unstable.
"At least until it's calm here, I'd like to protect it. Elizabeth, you're okay with that. ”
"Of course, I'm you, not the sword of the Inquisition!"
With her back to the sudden burst of light from inside the courtroom, Elizabeth knelt down on one knee. It was like a medieval knight being enshrined, and it was the first time since the first time he got Elizabeth. Unlike herself, who has always endured silently, Elizabeth, who does not have to think too much, swears her own "faith" in the most straightforward language.
"As long as it is the enemy you point to, whoever it is, no matter where it is, I am willing to fight to the death. So please don't get lost and take your own ......"
"Wait...... Elizabeth, that ......"
The white light was even better, and although it was obviously the work of the oracle, not only in the distance, but even above Elizabeth suddenly cracked a suspicious hole, and Elizabeth, who was swearing, did not notice it at all.
The light began to spread across the land, but what was even more suspicious was what was above Elizabeth's head, as if some unknown creature was about to break in......
"Master, you ......"
"Don't talk about it yet, get out of the way!"
Feeling the growing sense of oppression, Filily hurriedly pulled Elizabeth to her side, although her determination should have been passed on, but it seemed that fate did not want her to finish the complete vow.
The oppression in the suspicious black hole grew closer, just as it was from the light that burst from the inquisition not far away. It was clear that something was approaching, and it was a plural number of "creatures", coming from two entrances.
Inside a ritual place that is naturally the oracle of the Inquisition, such an unacceptable sense of oppression is probably really ......
One is in front of my own eyes, although it is a little weaker, but the sense of danger brought by it is not weak at all.
“……”
It's coming!
The light covered the entire line of sight, and by the time she saw it, Filili, who had barely managed to open her eyes, had no way to stop the sight in front of her.
There seemed to be a black shadow flashing in front of me, but it didn't matter. The familiar figure emerged from the black hole and fell straight to the ground.
It's Nangong who suddenly disappeared for several days! But it seems that he is not alone......
A girl who looked very young also fell down after her, unlike the clumsy Nangong, after quickly maintaining her balance, the little girl stood directly on Nangong's back.
No, that's not all......
The maid-dressed girl flapped her wings and floated in the air, covering her mouth and trying to laugh. Judging by the pair of wings on her back, it is obvious that she is a real "angel". The next thing that appeared with her was a woman with a cold expression, unlike her companions beside her, she only looked around lightly, but the pair of black wings behind her were the same as the "Demon Belusep......
Demons? But why did she get along with ......
The light dissipated, and there seemed to be a deafening cheer from inside the Inquisition. I don't want to think about it, but I'm afraid there is only one reason for such cheers.
The oracle's ritual was successful...... No, it should not be a complete success, because while the "faith" of the believers was summoned, some "outsiders" also mixed in.
"Ah, I finally caught up, it's really a long shot." The maid "Angel" looked in the direction of the Inquisition, where the oracle was located.
"But it seems that the old woman didn't get in, hey, it turns out that the body will degenerate when people are old?"
“…… There's no time, so let's hide it first. ”
After throwing another cold blow to Filily, the other "demon" who looked unkind immediately dragged her companion and disappeared into the air, without even leaving time for Filily to ask questions.
No, it should have been stayed, and two living people were left directly.
"Oh! Isn't this Filily, that's great. ”
Nangong, who looked relieved, seemed to be still anxious about something, and got up from the ground while dusting off, "There's no time, anyway, you quickly find a place to hide me and her first!" ”
(Beluseb's casual dress pattern has been done, and the book review section is at the top.) (To be continued......)
