St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican at night looks more solemn than during the day. Completed in 1626, the cathedral is nearly 400 years old and is known as the work of many great men of the Renaissance.

But it is clear that now in front of the church, the two black-robed visitors are not in the mood to admire this magnificent building. They hurried and swiftly up the steps in front of the door, their boots landing on the marble countertops with a crisp "Dada" sound.

The black-robed man in the lead rudely pushed open the door of the church, and he looked surprised at the fact that the clergy of the Night's Watch only waved their hands lightly, and they fell straight down as if they had been turned into stone sculptures.

The black-robed man who followed him had a playful look on his face, and he playfully kicked the stiff and fallen people as if it were the funniest thing he had ever done.

"Are you idle? Mephistopheles, we're in business. The black-robed man in the lead said with a frown and displeasure.

Mephistopheles lifted the hood of "him" at this time, and "he" face was still the same handsome today, and it raised its black eyebrows and ridiculed each other: "You have been in prison for so many years and have not done anything serious, and you have finally returned to the world, of course, you have to enjoy it, not to mention why don't you just kill them? ”

Lucifer angrily took off his black robes, and the six jet-black wings that spread out behind his back caused a gust of wind. He squinted at Mephistopheles and said, "Don't forget that now I am your commander, I can kill these people as I want, if you want to complete your plan, then you better listen to me obediently and don't cause me any trouble!"

Mephistopheles waved his hand at Lucifer and said sarcastically, "Although all the lords of Hell approve of your appointment as the leader of the Legion of Hell, don't forget, we can also reclaim your current position. Of course, as long as you are still useful to us, you can still retain command of us. ”

Lucifer retracted his wings, his eyes filled with anger, but he also knew in his heart that Mephistopheles was telling the truth. But who knows what he will do? He laughed at them in his heart, they thought I was a pawn at their mercy, but in fact it was not they who were at their mercy.

He changed his tone to a lighthearted tone: "Of course I understand the importance of hell to me. I will do my best to do everything in hell, after all, your Lord Satan seems to be happy with me in command. ”

Now it was Mephistopheles' turn to be stunned: could it be that Lord Satan had already spoken to Lucifer and acknowledged his leadership? It opened its mouth wide but didn't know what to say, and it took several minutes for it to hold back a sentence: "Ah, that's good, very good, Lord Satan always makes the wisest decisions, Lord Lucifer." ”

Lucifer knew he was in control of the situation, and the hellish goats didn't know what he was thinking, and they couldn't even tell the difference between a lie and a truth. He didn't say anything more but waved Mephistopheles to follow him, and Mephistopheles reluctantly followed him towards the offering table in the main hall.

At the top of the altar is a long, richly decorated staff: its body is made using the best gilding techniques in the world, and the handle of the staff is decorated with twelve rubies without any impurities, but the most amazing thing is the huge pearl of the night from China, which glows softly and brightly even in the dark.

Mephistopheles looked at the staff in Lucifer's hand with a puzzled expression, and he couldn't resist the doubt in his heart and asked, "Can this human-made thing lead us to Satan's sword?"

Lucifer was fiddling with the staff in his hand with interest when he heard Mephistopheles's questioning before slowly raising his head and replying, "But don't doubt it, Demon of Desire." Although this staff is made by humans, it can indeed lead us to the sword of Satan. Besides, we don't need the whole staff. ”

Lucifer gripped the staff tightly with his hand as he spoke, and the sturdy body of the body was gradually cracking under the pressure of the strength of his hand. With the "click" of shattering, the staff was also instantly shattered in Lucifer's hand.

A small roll of parchment fell out of the broken cane, and Lucifer lowered his head to pick up the parchment, and he shook the parchment twice in front of Mephistopheles with a smug look: "Now do you know why we came looking for this thing at night?"

"Is that what will point the Sword of Satan in the right direction?" Mephistopheles asked with an eager expression.

"My old adversary, this staff was made from the beginning to hide this thing. This humble roll of parchment is the true map on which the Sword of Satan can be found. Lucifer laughed sinisterly and contentedly.

Mephistopheles nodded understandingly, "So can we go back now?" even if we get the map, we'll still need a lot of time to find it, so let's go now," Mephistopheles said as he turned to leave.

"That's not going to work. Lucifer remained motionless, a mysterious smile gradually appearing on his face, "There is one more thing that I haven't told you about, if this staff is broken and its contents are found, then the person in charge of guarding it will also appear here." ”

Before he could finish speaking, a dazzling pillar of light pierced the roof of the church with great force, and in the light, an angel wearing shining golden armor with six pure white wings slowly walked out.

Lucifer's laughter can almost be described as crazy: "Hehe, hahaha...... I've been waiting for a long time, my dear brother, Michael!"
