Chapter Thirty-Eight: Obes
"But!" "Recently, there have been rumors that Ozma may be alive again. ”
Hui Yi glared and said, "Because of 'mutation'?!" ”
Then Hui pouted, knelt down on one knee and said, "Even if I am crushed, I will prevent the demon from reappearing!" ”
In fact, for him, it doesn't matter if Ozma reappears or not, but if it does, it means that there will be a second dark holy war, then he doesn't care, but Marina, he doesn't want Marina to die in front of him, and he doesn't want to see her tears before dying because he is protecting her......
"Hehe, sure enough, I read it right, I have always appreciated your decisiveness, but ......"
“?”
Margello didn't say anything in the end.
"Forget it...... I still don't want to worry about it......" He put his hand on Keiichi's shoulder and said, "Take Marina, I can't protect her anytime and anywhere, you go to Golantis first, although she is young, she is indeed a very good priest, she will guide you." ”
It seemed that Margelo seemed to know something, but as soon as Tei knew that it was not a bad thing, he said, "Yes!" ”
"May the gods be with you! My faithful priesthood ......"
"Is there anything the archbishop is looking for you?" As soon as Terui came out, Marina asked.
Teiichi smiled, "We're getting out of here." ”
"Why?"
"Investigate the anomaly, it's probably ...... Ozma! ”
"Ozma?!" Marina was shocked.
Huiyi said: "It's the Dark Holy War one, we're going to investigate him and take a risk, let's clean up tonight and leave tomorrow!" ”
"Good!" Marina smiled, he said "we" instead of "me", so Marina understood that he and Keiichi walked together, as long as she was with Teiichi, even if it was broken, she would feel happy!
Magello. Roshbach is one of the "Five Sages" of Milan. Descendants of Roshbach.
Born into the famous Monroshbach family of the Paladin, he thrived in the expectations of the Patriarchs of the Priesthood from an early age, showing extraordinary talent.
When he was twenty-four years old, the "Hundred Pretenders Incident" occurred, and after receiving the news, he went deep into the village where a large number of pretenders were hidden, and in ten days, he eliminated 100 pretenders and saved the lives of hundreds of villagers.
Margello became famous all over the world, and successfully became the archbishop under the praise of the higher echelons of the Order.
But twenty years ago, his wife and children died after a sneak attack by a pretender. Now he is carefully watching over his only blood relative, his granddaughter Orbes.
A few days later......
"Do you have any instructions for us?"
Two young men and women walked briskly into the chapel and stood respectfully in front of an old man.
The bright sunlight slanted from the window on the old man's kind face, warm and quiet, if there were outsiders at this time, it must be difficult to imagine that this is the authoritarian archbishop - Magello. Roshbach.
"May God be with you, my children." Margello said in his deep tone, "There has been some unrest on the mainland recently, have you heard some rumors?" ”
"If you're referring to the Pretender, you've heard of it." The young man's voice was low as he spoke, and the dark gray armor on his body seemed to shake slightly with his words.
His name is Teda Beona, a descendant of Wolfgan, one of the "Five Sages", and the most talented Blue Fist Saint of the younger generation, Chinese New Year's Eve.
"I've heard some rumors, but I'm not detailed." On the other side, a pleasant voice sounded, and a woman dressed in white said lightly.
She's Obes. Rosenbach, Margello's youngest granddaughter, is twenty-one years old.
After listening to the two of them's answers, Magello nodded: "Well, that's what I'm talking about. As you know, after the Dark Holy War, the number of pretenders has been brought under control. I had thought that the days of peace would last a little longer...... But in the past few days, the Senate has received reports from all over the world that the number of impostors is rising dramatically. We suspect that it may have been a problem with the extradimensional rift, which caused Ozma's evil energy to escape to the continent again......"
Speaking of this, Magello paused, his face gradually became solemn, he glanced at the two young people in front of him, and said slowly: "The senators will guess, perhaps, Ozma himself has also appeared!" ”
"Ozma!" Orbes suddenly raised her voice, apparently she hadn't expected the situation to be so serious.
However, Teda only smiled softly, and his eyes radiated a belligerent light.
"I called you here to convey the thoughts of the patriarchs." Magello was silent for a moment, then continued, "Now is the time for us to do something, we can't rely on adventurers alone to defend our Arad continent, we must also throw ourselves into the battle to purify the world and fight Ozma and his pretender forces to the end. ”
"Oh, I'm waiting for your words, Archbishop." As soon as Magello's words fell, Teda immediately responded, "I've long been tired of looking for those pretenders, dealing with that evil lifeform, it's useless to educate, fighting is the only way to destroy them!" ”
"TEDA, you seem to be more interested in your slaughtering instincts than in purifying the world!" Obes was clearly a little dissatisfied with TEDA's attitude.
"Orbes, your kindness is too pedantic. Do you think that the depraved pretenders can still become normal human beings? Instead of teaching me a lesson here, you should think about how you can convince those murderous monsters to be real. ”
"If I could, of course I would do it."
"You...... I really don't understand you, I don't know why you're always bothered by these useless things. Evil is beheaded, such a simple truth, don't you know? ”
"Tolerance and edification are the true charm of the Sage, and it is precisely because of these that people become kind, not the revenge and punishment you call it! This is what Mistress Michelle has taught us a long time ago, have you forgotten it? ”
"You don't have to worry about that. I bet you can't get rid of a single pretender in your lifetime, your way. Our warriors will never be distressed by these useless things, and there must be no hesitation in punishing evil, even if the other party is their own family! ”
"Countering violence with violence will never bring true peace! Aren't our compatriots dying enough?! TEDA's words seemed to remind Orbes of something, and she couldn't suppress her emotions a little, and her voice suddenly rose.
"Enough!" Teda wanted to say something, but Margello stopped the two of them in time, "My children, arguing in the holy cathedral is blasphemy against God. ”
"I'm sorry, Archbishop." Obes and Teda said together.
"The Holy See itself has many ways to practice the sacred. It's a good thing to make yourself strong and destroy evil. However, Teda, do not allow yourself to indulge in the pleasure of killing other living beings, and always remember that it is God who is testing you. Looking at Teda's unruly face, Margello said earnestly.
"Yes...... But it's ...... to admit the existence of that kind of life."
God's mind is mysterious and far-reaching, and don't judge God's creation by human short-sightedness. Every living being has its own purpose of existence, and all we can do is to feel God's will. ”
"You're right. I think God created those evil creatures to tell people that the world needs us, and that we are the clergy who eradicate evil! ”
Perhaps, I believe that everyone understands God differently. But Teda, you have to remember that if this is also created by God, then you have to learn to face and accept it calmly...... Let's go back and think about what you're going to do next. ”
Teda didn't argue any more, bowed to Margello, and quietly stepped out.
"Orbes," seeing Teda retreat, Magello whispered to his little granddaughter, "Teda has a jealous and hateful personality that worries me a little, you need to help him more and don't let him take a detour." ”
"Grandpa, don't worry. That guy is paranoid, but he won't fall even in the worst case. ”
"I understand this, it's just that his personality is too upright, and it will bring him unfortunate ...... in the future"
"Got it, Grandpa, I'll be there to help him. Just, will that guy take my help? ”
"Hehe, grandpa believes in you."
"I know what to do." Hearing this, Obes could only nod helplessly.
"Good boy, you have listened to your grandfather since you were a child. Okay, let's go back and think about what's next. ”
"Yes, Grandpa." Obes replied respectfully and withdrew.
The Great Chapel was quiet again, and the sun was shining warmly over Huttonmar. Margello looked out the window, his deep eyes shining with wisdom.
What is God's destiny for us? Perhaps, a war even more chaotic than the Dark Holy War is coming...... God, please bless these young people......"
Margello let out a long sigh, Teiichi had been sent out, and now his only granddaughter had also left the place, which reminded him of what happened when Obes was a child-
"Grandpa, tell me the story of Ozma." Orbes pillowed on Margello's lap and said sweetly, "I know he used to be a great magician, but why did he become an enemy of the Arad continent?" ”
"Hehe, my little Orbes is still interested in such an old story." Margello lovingly stroked his little granddaughter's head and said with a smile, if there were outsiders present at this time, he would never have imagined that the patriarch of the Rosenbach family, who had always been majestic and imposing, would have such a kind side.
"Speaking of Ozma, it starts with the great war 800 years ago." Margello's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he could fall asleep at any time, and his faint tone seemed to bring people back to that forgotten memory.
More than 800 years ago, in the vast plains of conquest, two armies were facing each other, and the battlefield that should have been screaming for the heavens was surprisingly quiet.
