Luna doesn't see Mel in the end, not only because of Eloh's obstruction, but also because Mel herself doesn't want to see her.

A few days later, the Pope was fully restored, and the Holy See decided to hold a lecture in the Sky Courtyard, mainly for a release.

Because it was a press conference, there was no need for the kings of the countries to be present, so the people present were all representatives of some countries and students from the Sky Academy.

"I thought the Holy See was a deviant." Franda couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the resplendent interior around her.

"Who told you?" Iroh asked.

"Novels, many novels and stories in which the popes in the Holy See are big bad guys, shouting in the name of God, and as a result, they always hurt people everywhere." Flanda said.

"In a sense, it can be called deviant." Iroh said.

The faith served by the Holy See is human civilization, but there are a large number of inhuman monsters hidden in it, and even the academic research that turns people into inhuman monsters is enough to be called deviant.

Unlike the sheer treachery, the Templar simply discarded something else for the sake of maintaining it.

"Really? I don't believe that kid could be a bad person. Flanda gestured at the Pope from afar.

"She's really not a bad person." Iroh said.

But not a good guy either.

Iroh felt that Flanda should come out of the worldview of what was wrong and what was bad, but it wasn't the time yet, so let's wait for her to mature a little.

The Pope on the podium read the manuscript all the way, and many students were sleepy. Although they were initially curious about the Pope, who was about their own age, they suddenly didn't want to spend a second with her when they heard her speak like the dean's opening speech.

Flanda listened intently for a while, but she was also a little sleepy, so she turned to look at Iroh, "Is the Angel Advent ceremony so necessary?" Why do you have to sacrifice Mel? ”

"It is very difficult for man to disobey God." "They can easily bring disaster, and Mel's sacrifice can be exchanged for peace, so that's the choice." ”

"But she's going to die."

"It's a choice with no choice, no way." "There's no room for manoeuvre," said Iroh, "and if she accepts the power of angels, she will accept the souls of angels, and this is the price, and this is the reward that was promised at the beginning." ”

Flanda doesn't like Mel, she always talks to herself, always looks down on herself, always thinks that everyone in the world is wrong, only she is right, only she sees through everything.

She always robs Elo of herself, looks down on her feelings for Ello, and proudly shows off what she and Iroh have experienced together.

"Trading souls for power is like trading with demons in a story. Is that really an angel? ”

"Angels are not angels who have done good deeds, they are apostles sent by God, and therefore they are called angels." "It's purely because of their different backgrounds, and it has nothing to do with what they do." ”

"Shouldn't God be unconditionally good to man?" Flanda asked again.

"No one will be unconditionally good to others, and no one will sacrifice their own interests to defend the interests of mankind." "The gods are nothing more than a community high up above, like men, some kind and some crazy, but all of them are powerful, and they are as powerful as they can easily destroy countless lives." ”

“……”

"But the Holy See is an exception." Arloh added, "Those who are willing to sacrifice for humanity will choose to join the Holy See." ”

Flanda opened her mouth, she wanted to say that Mel wasn't willing to sacrifice for humanity at all, she just liked you, but she couldn't open her mouth.

As the speech drew to a close, Flanda talked to Elo for a long time. Although the overall atmosphere has become much more relaxed and pleasant since the topic leaves Mel, the image of Mel always lingers in Flanda's mind.

The lock in her heart, and the things she carried.

Flanda finally figured out something, and that was a deeper thought in her heart beyond sympathy.

Flanda, who has prided herself on her hard work since she was a child, lost to Mel in this regard.

She doesn't want Mel to die, in addition to sympathy for Mel, there is a deeper feeling, that is, she doesn't want Mel to give so much, so much that even she can't compare.

If she continues, she will probably lose to Mel without any suspense in her efforts to love Ello. It was something she didn't dare to think about and didn't want to think about.

At the end of the speech, considering Mel's mood, the Pope did not let her go on stage to meet with those who were waiting for the angel to come.

Even she herself felt that this was a bit cruel, and it was like making people public before they were executed, as a topic of conversation after dinner.

And these people will not know the inside story of the angel's descent ceremony, and it is impossible to understand Mel's mood at all.

It was cruel and unnecessary, and the Pope could not make such a decision.

Mel had been quietly waiting backstage for the end of the speech, and everything was going on as it should.

"What's wrong with our little dragonman?" Mel noticed a tap on his shoulder and turned his head to look.

The person who patted her on the shoulder was Louise, the dragon who remained in the Templar See, and it is said that she found something interesting to be like eating, but according to the observations of the executors, it seems to be taking care of the Pope.

"Not really." Mel forced a smile and said, "Why did you come here?" ”

"I see someone in need of help, so I'll come and see, isn't that what the executors of the Holy See do. What's wrong? You look sad. Louise asked.

"I'm a little ...... I don't know what to say. Mel said.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but she feels more and more that she has lost herself. Ever since the "Rite of the Angel's Descent" was confirmed, she felt her consciousness blur.

Sometimes she loses her temper with herself, but when she thinks about it, she also likes to lose her temper with herself before she gets the Sky Lock, and even uses a knife to destroy the horns on her head, which makes her feel that she is still her old self.

She didn't know how long the erosion would last, how much had already been done, and she was terrified that she would disappear without even noticing.

Still smiling beside Iroh, but has been replaced with another soul.

"Don't worry, I can help you settle it!" Ever since she became a nanny for the Pope, Louise has always felt that she is a friend of the children, and with her strength and experience, she can easily help the troubled children in the Holy See solve their problems.

"Can you give me some blood?" Mel hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I need some dragon blood to suppress divinity to sustain my ...... Reason. ”
