Volume 12 The Rise of the Darkwalkers! Chapter 47: Trouble
"Open to the gates of the kingdom of heaven, to the pure soul, to the heart of the Lord, to receive everlasting devotion to the Lord. The priestess prayed to the corpses of her two teammates, and her young and immature face looked so holy in front of the fire, she solemnly drew a cross on her chest, and her voice rose in the night sky with white floc, as if flying into a deep canopy full of stars: "Purifying light, dispel all sin, dirt, and darkness, and may the world be redeemed, and it will shine on you and me forever." ”
The priests in white robes on both sides also bowed their heads together, holding the cross on their chests and chanting prayers in a deep voice.
This is the square in front of the Great Hall of Light, and the fire on the altar is soft and pure, as if any earthly impurities have been refined and purified here.
Xiao Gu watched all this silently, looking at the two motionless corpses, the original people who were alive and kicking were lying here silently, but it was very strange that at this moment in Xiao Gu's heart, they were still clear and vivid, and he vaguely felt that he had left a deep enough memory in the hearts of the living, which might be the meaning of life, at least, he still remembered.
Seems to feel a little depressed, he twisted his body, looked around, looked at everyone's solemn expressions, he seemed to feel a force, not the fury and anxiety of the fire element, but a quiet and far-reaching spirit beyond the senses, he suddenly found that the power of religion is so powerful, because in a trance it communicates the boundaries of life and death, and soothes the wound that is absent, whether it is spiritual or **.
Elma, who was standing not far away, watched all this, her cold eyes were calm, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
The priestess walked up to Xiao Gu, she looked at the former noble princess with some pity, sighed, and said, "She is very pitiful. ”
Xiao Gu thought for a moment and asked, "Is it because we imprisoned her?"
The priestess shook her head and said, "Although it is difficult to accept the change from a noble princess to a prisoner at once, his father wants to kill her, which is the saddest and most pitiful part. ”
The ossicles do not understand. He wondered, "Why?"
"Because ......" the priestess opened her mouth, which was something that everyone could understand, but she couldn't explain it for a while, and finally she smiled bitterly, "It's just that I think so." ”
Skull nodded. I glanced up at the sky, revealing the white of the fish's belly. "Let's go." It's time for us to meet the adults. ”
Alberta Castle. The dawn light also touched the dark gray rock walls.
In the castle master bedroom. All furnishings and furnishings are arranged in an orderly manner. Anyone who sees this place for the first time will have a feeling. That is, everything here is in its place according to the will of the master. Even the slightest movement will attract a sharp gaze.
"I heard that Lundit is back. The countess sat at the dresser. She was dressed in tights. The beautiful curves of the whole body are undoubtedly revealed. Only a prismatic opening was made on the chest. Revealing a patch of snow-white skin and a deep ravine. The slender waist was strangled tightly. But the lower body is dragged to the ground, and the skirt is wide and gorgeous.
"yes. Miss. However, I heard that this time I fought with the Dead Council. Lord Lantyston did not bring back any gold or silver treasures. Instead, he captured a princess of the Dark Realm. These words had already circled in the maid's heart countless times. She couldn't help but want to say it. Although this one she overheard rumors. But this can prove from the side that he cares about the master's land. Because she is also paying attention to what her master is paying attention to.
Countess Alberta, who had been facing the mirror, turned her face away. Her groomed, slender eyebrows furrowed gracefully. Suspiciously, "Are you sure?"
The maid nodded hurriedly, her words finally attracted the attention of her master, and she thought maliciously, what would happen next? Will this woman with strong control be generous and thunderous? She did not feel afraid, and even had a faint expectation in her heart.
The countess's beautiful chest rose and fell, and she said coldly, "Spoils?"
The maid pursed her lips and said, "I heard that Lord Landiston values this princess very much, and he even sent someone to escort her along the way. Two clergymen even died for it, and the princess was not handed over to the Pope......"
It's easy to get into a reverie, especially if someone who is particularly concerned about certain aspects is more likely to have ambiguity in their minds.
The countess picked up the dressing mirror, took a look at her French style, and said lightly: "How is her appearance?"
Although the countess's face did not change, the maid clearly felt a coldness, and she glanced at the hostess very carefully, and with a casual glance out of the corner of her eye, she found that the latter was holding the mirror with his hand. The feeling of exertion seemed to make two handprints on it.
Here it comes. The maid nodded secretly, and there was a hint of excitement in her heart. Of course, on the surface, she still made a reaction that a personal lady should have, a little helpless and a little unwilling to whisper: "I heard it's beautiful." She paused and added, "I just heard about ......."
The latter sentence was deliberately added by her, and she knew that there was a big difference between having this sentence and not having this sentence, which not only showed that she wanted to cover up, but also reflected her complex psychology of not wanting her master to be troubled.
Sure enough, the countess threw the precious ivory comb on the ground with a "snap", and the maid pretended to kneel down in panic, but she couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart, it seemed that the strength and proportion were just right, at this moment, she had a strong pleasure of playing with her usually high master in the palm of her hand, which even made her body have a spasm, but it was well concealed in the disguised trembling.
"I remember that there was no feminine land around him," said the countess's voice, cold.
The maid nodded.
"Not even a maid ......"
The maid said softly, "Yes......"
The countess said "um", then waved her hand as if she had already decided something, and said, "Not before, and not in the future." ”
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then the slightly flustered voice of the squire, "Tell Lord Earl, Knight Migal is here again." ”
The duchess snorted and said, "No." ”
"But, but. He's already barged in on his own. ”
The countess frowned, then her eyebrows gradually relaxed, stroked her silky hair, and said with a smile: "Okay, then invite him in, maybe he can make me feel better." ”
"My beautiful Earl. If you have any worries, then please let me know, I am willing to give everything for you. A handsome young Templar stood in the doorway, his armor seemingly carefully polished, and a layer of oil that not only scented but also sparkled under the magic lamp.
The smile on the duchess's face became even brighter, and her beautiful eyes blinked slightly, and she said, "Yes." I do have a matter of trouble for Knight Migal. ”
The bell on the top of the temple is ringing, and the entire building of the Holy See is immersed in a solemn atmosphere with the rising sun.
Luo Lan was dressed in a gorgeous bishop's robe, holding a bishop's scepter that symbolized divine power. A large number of paladins and priests followed behind him, all the way to the main hall square, the surrounding clergy, both men and women, bent down one after another, and several priests who had originally had a serious face also lowered their proud heads, and only after he walked past did they dare to slowly raise their heads, casting a look of awe and awe.
Alfrede, who followed behind Luo Lan, watched all this with envy, and in his impression, even Brother Mehdi had never received such an honor. And this bishop is not only of high status, but also rings the bell of the temple for Pope Pildoca II after meeting with him, which is a rare honor in a century.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, when will he be able to stand under this most glorious hall like the bishop and accept the worship of tens of millions of people?
In contrast, Priest Evelyn is much simpler, and at the moment she sees Bishop Lantiston as an example of the clergy, a man of virtue and belief in the supreme saint of the earth. This made her heart extremely full, and her steps were extremely firm.
At this moment, Luo Lan's heart was thinking about the next plan, after learning about the upcoming operation of the Council of the Dead, he had been planning how to profit from it, and after communicating with the two popes, he had roughly already had a draft.
Because this matter is particularly important, he has to be more cautious than ever in this game. He still chose to put the big bet on the former Pope Sidirue first.
Although Sidirow nominally abdicated from the throne. In reality, however, he still held control of the three largest dioceses around the Holy See, and these bishops were his absolute henchmen at that time. Therefore, although the current Pope Pyroca II wanted to do a lot after taking office, because of this imminent constraint and threat, he could not let go at all, and could only engage in some innocuous small actions through his nominal prestige and intrigues.
But Luo Lan didn't hide much about the news that Sha Luoman got from him, because even if he didn't say it, the other party would know about it sooner or later.
And at this moment, the Holy See has sent a secret envoy to bring this news to the Mage Council and the Knight Alliance, and it is likely that the Monks and the Council of the Dead will soon start an unprecedented collision, so internally, Sidiroe, the former Pope, does not want anything to happen at this time, and the purpose of inviting Luo Lan to come is also to announce that the two have joined forces to oppress Biduka II to honestly submit.
"Your Excellency!" a shout pulled him out of his musings.
Luo Lan raised his eyes, then smiled, and said, "Xiao Gu, it seems that your task has been completed very well. ”
Xiao Gu touched his head embarrassedly, and said honestly: "I almost failed, I didn't expect that the guards sent by the Grand Duke of Znier turned out to be trying to kill their princess." ”
Luo Lan was slightly stunned, and then something flashed in his eyes, and he smiled: "It seems that this Princess Elma is much more valuable than we imagined." He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Take care of her, she is likely to be of great use." ”
Before his words fell, the priestess hurried over and said in a hurry, "My lord, Miss Elma was forcibly taken away by a Templar. ”
