Chapter 4: The Holy Sword?
After Ciel and Ann got acquainted, they hurried to the city near the church.
Whether it was the saint or Lu Ming, they didn't come here to play this time, so everyone tacitly acted quickly.
Hill has a carriage for Lu Ming and them to ride, but the style is relatively ordinary, it seems that she is only secretly traveling to investigate this time, and she doesn't want to attract too many people's attention.
In the carriage, Hill and Lu Ming sat together, and the two of them talked and laughed, which aroused An Leia's jealousy, and even Yulina on the side was staring at her master tightly, as if if the two of them made any drastic moves, she was ready to go over and hold them at any time.
Of course, only Hill and Lu Ming knew in their hearts that the two of them were talking about business.
"Speaking of which, isn't the place where your accident happened in the Holy Capital? Wouldn't it be better for us to go there directly? ”
It's no wonder that Lu Ming would ask this, after all, what they want to investigate are several archbishops second only to the Pope and the Holy Maiden, Lu Ming thinks that they are not in the Holy Capital, where else can they be?
Ciel, however, shook his head and told him:
"The Holy Capital is the city of me and His Holiness the Pope, there is no other person's power there, and we can't find anything out when we go."
"Oh?"
Lu Ming couldn't help but question lightly, and didn't say anything more, but quietly waited for the holy woman to continue, since he didn't know the power branch of the church, the other party should tell him.
Hill also understood what Lu Ming meant, and without pause, he answered directly:
"Our church is different from those kingdoms, there are seven larger cities, except for the holy capital, and the cities of the remaining six archbishops are arranged from north to south to the border with the kingdom of Ricks."
"This is the seven capitals of the church, each capital has a bishop and a knight leader, and more than a hundred knights are responsible for the security in the capital, as for the archbishops, they are generally shrunk in the depths of their capitals, except for the pope's invitation, they will not come forward once."
"This time, we are going to the capital of Bishop Morel, the seventh bishop of the church."
Lu Ming nodded, even if he understood the layout of the church a little, he didn't ask any more, I'm afraid the holy woman won't know too much, after all, the other party has also stayed in the holy capital for many years.
"And Ciel, how much do you know about the empire that once established the royal capital on the territory of the church?"
Lu Ming began to try to ask, it was not enough to just find the person who cursed the Holy Maiden, otherwise there would be a situation like a black-robed person, the person was killed, but there was almost no other news.
You must know that behind that black-robed man, there may be thousands of black-robed people, and their organization must be found out.
"Empire?"
Hill was very puzzled about Lu Ming's new question, and she didn't know why the other party suddenly asked this, but she still answered honestly:
"I didn't know anything about that country, I only knew that they were really powerful at their peak, and they almost ruled the entire continent, but unfortunately they disintegrated in the end......"
"If you need news from them, I can accompany you to the Holy Capital to read the relevant books, our Holy Capital has nothing else, and the historical record is not comparable to those kingdoms."
"Really?"
Lu Ming's eyes flickered for a moment, but then he suppressed this thought, shook his head and said:
"Forget it, let's take our time, first investigate whether these archbishops have anything to do with your curse, as for the Holy Capital, it will arrive sooner or later."
"But first, you can help me see it, do you recognize this badge?"
Lu Ming didn't mention the matter of the empire again, but thought about it and handed the badge he took from the black-robed man to the holy woman.
He wasn't worried about what the Holy Maiden would do with this badge, after all, the Holy Maiden was now a person on the same front with him, and she had been cursed with such a vicious curse, no matter what the other party said, it couldn't be someone inside that organization.
After taking the badge handed to him by Lu Ming, the saintess carefully examined it, however, after a while, she came to such a conclusion:
"I don't recognize this badge either......"
But she frowned, as if she had thought of something, but she was a little unsure.
"What do you think of?"
Lu Ming looked at the appearance of the holy woman, his heart moved, asked her, and then added:
"To tell you the truth, after I saw this badge, I always had a familiar feeling, could it be that you are like this?"
Hearing Lu Ming say this, the saint immediately felt relieved, nodded and said:
"Since you have said so, then you are right, come and see, the sword on the badge does not look like the original holy sword 5,000 years ago?"
"Holy Sword?"
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, he didn't even think about the question that the brave men didn't know what the holy sword looked like 5,000 years ago, but was greatly interested by the princess's words.
The holy sword turned out to be the holy sword in his time!
Lu Ming gently touched the lines on the badge, and suddenly, no wonder he saw this badge before, he would be so familiar, it was not the badge itself that was familiar, but the sword above.
The holy sword on the coat of arms looked more primitive than the holy sword 5,000 years ago, so Lu Ming didn't see it at that time, but now that he was reminded by the holy woman, he could be sure that this was the one that was damaged by him 5,000 years ago.
"Holy Sword."
Lu Ming raised his head and sighed, making Hill on the side completely unpredictable about his emotions.
Only Lu Ming himself knew how unsettled his heart was at the moment.
From the moment he was born as a demon, everything related to the holy sword was the goal he was chasing, and until he crossed by destroying the holy sword, he was having a headache for the wonderful thing of the holy sword.
I don't know how it was born, why it only targets their demons, and even how it was born every time, and how it left with the brave can't be found.
However, after he turned into a brave man himself, he forgot to investigate the matter of the holy sword, and the curse happened later, which made him completely forget.
Unexpectedly, now, the holy sword thing ran into his sight by itself, and what he didn't expect was that this thing was still related to those black-robed people who could mysteriously curse.
"Who is it that can wear a badge with the Holy Sword as a symbol?"
Lu Ming muttered to himself, at this moment, he remembered what he had said to him when he pinched the neck of the black-robed man.
'I knew that when I made a move before, I shouldn't have bothered with your identity as a brave man and killed you directly! ’
Thinking about it now, I'm afraid that the black-robed man didn't kill himself in the first place, not because he was jealous of himself, but because the identity of a brave man had some relationship with them.
This is a little difficult to do, is it possible that the next step, he has to catch another brave man and interrogate it?
It's not impossible, Lu Ming pondered in his heart.
It's just that he didn't expect that his meeting with the Holy Maiden this time not only completely overthrew the black-robed man and the Goddess Sect, but also concluded that the church mentioned by the other party was actually related to the Holy Sword.
