Chapter 20. Pursuit mission

After Li Hao and Dante left, Nero was the only one left in the whole church, he wiped it on the steps, cleared out a piece of ground that could sit on people, sat directly on the ground, fell backwards, leaned on the steps, pressed his elbows against the ground, and seriously recalled and thought about what Li Hao and Dante had just said.

Even if he looked like 'I don't believe it at all' at that time, but in fact, it was just an inexplicable contradiction with a rebellious mentality, at least, he knew in his heart that he was different, and what was contained in the things Li Hao said.... Even if he hates Li Hao's guy, he won't affect his objective judgment because he is unhappy with that guy.

And judging by him .... What Li Hao said is extremely credible! He thought about it several times, but he couldn't find any flaws or loopholes in his words, and the guy seemed to be explaining a fact.

Well, at least most of the things should be true, for example, the old man of the Pope must be secretly doing some shady secret work, which Nero has been faintly aware of since a long time ago, but he doesn't care, as for whether it is like Li Hao said, he wants to conspire to conquer the world or something, he doesn't know.

Nero turned his head to look at the dead bodies of the knights of the Order in the same place.... His brows couldn't help but furrow more and more, after his so-called 'robes' were killed, each of their corpses changed inexplicably, and the hideous face like a demon and the terrifying claw scale armor could not be a feature of a human being at all!

It is precisely because of these doubts and considerations that Nero will 'watch' Li Hao and Dante leave, otherwise, with Nero's character, even if he knows that he is likely not the opponent of those two, he will never let them go so easily.

There was a peculiar stench in the air that made people sick...... Those knights of the Order had only been dead for less than ten minutes, and there was an unbearable strong stench coming from their corpses.... This couldn't help but make Nero believe more in what Li Hao said to him before leaving.

After sitting in the church for nearly twenty minutes, Credo finally returned with 'support', but by this time, the 'enemy' had been gone for a long time, and Nero was the only one in the whole church sitting on the steps and listening to the song boredly.

"Nero, what about the two thugs who assassinated the Pope? And how is your own condition, not injured, right? Credo stepped forward a few steps and asked Nero.

Nero took off his headphones and said lightly: "I can't stop them if those two guys escaped, but compared to this..... I thought you might want to talk to me about the corpses of the Order Knights. The stench on their bodies that was even more disgusting than that of the Maggots (the bugs that make up the scarecrow demons), and the inexplicable changes in their bodies....

You can't tell me those guys haven't showered in a long time, have you? So what the hell is going on with them? Surely you know Credo, after all, those Order Knights are your subordinates. ”

Credo didn't say a word, just silently gestured to the knights behind him, and then the knights quickly dispersed throughout the church, wrapped the strange corpses in white cloths, and quickly left with the corpses.

Nero: Is there really something weird about ......? This guy Credo is not a person who is good at telling lies, so when faced with difficult questions, he is like this, silent and silent... And Nero didn't ask anything more, because he knew very well that if Credo didn't want to say anything, no matter how much he asked, this stubborn man would never speak.

Nero watched expressionlessly as the knights who came one after another collected the bodies of their colleagues and cleaned up the scene, not knowing what he was thinking, anyway, the look on his face was very ugly.

The strange appearance of the corpses of those knights of the Order, the strange behavior of Credo, and the 'corpse' of the Pope that they had fought to the death before.

At the beginning, Nero didn't think much about it, after all, this seemed to be a normal thing, after all, the old man was the Pope, even if it was his corpse, he had to desperately take it back, but now...... He suddenly wondered if those guys were afraid that the Pope's corpse would also show the same abnormality as those dead knights, so they had to take it back at all costs so as not to expose anything!

"It doesn't seem like there's anything to do with me, so I'll go back first." Nero's thoughts at this time were chaotic, which inexplicably made him feel irritable, and the stench in the air made him unbearable.

However, Credo refused to let him go, "Nero, you can't rest yet...... You are the only one in the Order right now who has the strength to pursue those two thugs. ”

Nero said irritably, "But how do you want me to chase it?" I don't even have a sword on me now, and I don't know where those two guys are, and you're going to let me go alone?!

Seriously, Credo, I'm not sure I'll be able to complete this task, I've fought one of those two before..... Then I lay in bed for three whole days! So Credo, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't really help you this time, and in my current state, it's impossible to hunt them down. ”

Credo pursed his lips and said, "Nero, I understand what you said, and I have fought with that young man and understand his strength..... However, those two guys, no matter what, can't let them go.

You can see the cruelty of those fellows, and if they are allowed to run amok in Verdouna, they will probably cause a lot of trouble, and the inhabitants of Verdouna will be in danger.

Besides......"

The 'what' that Credo didn't say in the end, even if he didn't say it, Nero could imagine it, it was nothing more than Li Hao and Dante forcibly assassinating their pope under the heavy protection of the knights of the Order.... If they did such a thing and let them go unpunished, wouldn't their Demon Sword Knight Order be disgraced?

It's a pity that the Demon Sword Knight Order will lose face, Nero doesn't care, and he can be sure that Li Hao and Dante will definitely not attack the innocent people of Verduna, as Credo feared, so Credo's words can't convince him at all.

Seeing that Nero was still unmoved, Credo said again: "Nero.... Please, I'm afraid you're the only one in the Order who can take on this task now, and if you're worried about weapons and equipment, you don't have to worry about that now. ”

"Gillieh.." Credo turned around and shouted outside the church, and the next second, the side door of the church was pushed open, and Kirillette walked in with a heavy suitcase.

"That's my Crimson Queen.... Anyway, the Order is now short of manpower to this point? Actually let a girl like Jilia carry such heavy supplies. Nero glanced at Credo disapprovingly, then quickly trotted to meet Gilliet and took the suitcase from her hand.

He smiled at Ji Liye and thanked him, "Thank you, Ji Liye..... Crimson Queen, it's been a long time, you're finally back from your 'vacation'. ”
