At the same time, the Pope's office welcomed a secret guest.

Unlike his easy-going and slightly teasing appearance, the Pope sat solemnly at his large desk.

The crimson marble tiles, priceless paintings and decorations, and the huge crystal windows behind the desks, as well as the endless plains, the ethereal clouds, and the many magnificent views of Cloudsdale from now on...... The divine layout, the magnificent momentum, and the power and power symbolized by this position did not add much divine temperament to the people sitting in this position, because the expression of the Pope at this time was solemn and slightly gloomy.

It's not like what Nolan's spiritual father should be.

Standing in front of him was the Grand Inquisition, the Friars of Clement.

The two looked at each other in silence, silent.

Only the silent gaze was as sharp as lightning, and the fierce confrontation in the air, without further words, without arguments, and both were wise men, and the Pope had sensed the terrible state of affairs.

After a long time, the Pope broke the silence and said coldly: "I didn't expect it...... It was exposed so quickly. ”

"Unexpected?" A sharp light flashed in the Grand Judge's eyes, and he said coldly, "You didn't expect that? ”

"It's come to this, it's useless for you to get angry." The Pope crossed his hands, held his chin, and said lightly, "Let's think about how to deal with it." ”

"How to deal with it?" The Grand Judge smiled coldly and said, "Immediately mobilize the ascetics and gather at least three Legends and ten Sacred Domains." Put Kiri under house arrest and then restrain that kid with a surprise attack! That's the best way to deal with it! ”

The Pope looked up at Clement. "Do you think I'm as stupid as you?" ”

The corners of the judge's eyes twitched, and he said coldly: "You old slut who eats inside and out! ”

"Why do I just eat inside and out?" The Pope said expressionlessly. "I don't understand what you're talking about."

"I've asked the Ombudsman of Truth Vision! After the kid jumped from the shelter square, he flew straight in the direction of the inquisition! And the sky of Cloudsdale is a no-fly zone, and he rushed down all the way without being hindered, do you dare to say that you are not making trouble? The judge's voice was visibly angry, "It's time like this, you're actually dragging me back?" Do you know what the Holy See is facing? ”

The Pope straightened up and looked abrupt: "I said why it was exposed so quickly, it turns out that the problem is here!" ”

The Grand Judge stared at him deadly. Slowly squeezed a few words out between his teeth: "Fuck off......"

"Day, sure enough, it's still a familiar feeling." The Pope shook his fist, "The last time you swore was twelve years ago, and I thought you would only have this coffin face until you were summoned by God the Father...... Speaking of the Father's thoughts, it's really elusive, you guys with no bottom line and discipline are obviously suitable to be a necromancer, but I didn't expect to become a paladin, and even went to the dirtiest and messiest place in the world in the Inquisition, that kid looks very suitable to be a paladin, and finally became a necromancer. Cheap Sargeras that scoundrel for nothing...... Damn, if he were a paladin, how much fun would he have every day in Cloudsdale......"

At the mention of Sigma, the Grand Adjudicator's already gloomy face turned black as the bottom of a pot. Apparently thinking of something not very pleasant, he gritted his teeth and said in a low and angry tone: "Don't forget. It was you who were confused for a moment and instructed this kid to run around. Cut off the line that is most likely to get a clue! ”

For some reason, the Grand Inquisitor didn't refute the claim that Sigma is fit to be a paladin.

But the Pope did not point this out. His casual smile slowly calmed down, and the Holy See gazed at the best friend he had formed since his youth, and said softly: "Again, I will do the same, because the price is too great...... You may be able to get valuable clues from those two girls, but ......"

His tone was calm but firm: "It's a shame for you. ”

The Grand Adjudicator seemed to anticipate such an answer, he was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "There is nothing to be sorry for, I have guarded this church for forty years, and I will never allow it to be disgraced, or rather, my only duty in this world now is to protect this church, for which I can pay any price, sacrifice anyone who can be sacrificed, even if that person is my biological parents...... If you don't want to do something that you can't bear to do, but someone has to do, I'll do it. ”

"But my old friend...... You've been hindered and frustrated. The Pope smiled slowly, "You didn't expect that there is a person in this world who, for a simple promise and a belief in his heart, is willing to guard this church like you, guarding a girl who doesn't have much to do with him, and even challenging you." ”

"Impulsive and naïve young man, he doesn't know the consequences of doing so." The old man snorted, "He ......"

"I think he understands better than anyone else, and he still made that choice after thinking about it, which is the bravest decision." The Pope smiled, "If it were someone else, even if he had that kind of power, he probably wouldn't have the courage to do this...... After all, this thought determines the direction of the whole world......"

"But his courageous decision pushed the Holy See into an even more dangerous situation!" The judge said angrily, "He desperately protected the two girls, but he put countless creatures in Cloud City and even the entire continent in danger!" ”

"So he didn't leave." The Pope remained unhurried, "He has already decided to help. ”

"Just him?" The chief judge looked incredulous, "Are you going to put the life and death of the Holy See on him?" ”

"My old friend, I must remind you of something!" The Pope stood up, propped his hands on the table, and looked at the Presiding Judge, "You seem to have fallen into a misunderstanding like the Temple...... There is no force in the world that can destroy the Holy See! No matter what powerful alchemy bomb is, or whether it is the sinister hearts of people, the coveting of imperial power, or the conspiracy of foreign lands, this qiē cannot destroy the Holy See! ”

His voice was equally sonorous. The expression of steadfastness is like that of a martyred saint: "Because the Holy See of Light is not an entity made of brick and wood, this faith derived from the Light cannot be destroyed by any force!" Maybe thousands of years later. Tomorrow, perhaps, Cloudsdale will be wiped out in the dust. Maybe we will all die, maybe this holy city, which symbolizes light and glory, will be destroyed, but whether or not the city in the clouds exists, the Holy See will continue to exist! Because as the first pope said, the so-called Holy See is just a group of people who follow the Light and protect the weak, nothing more! ”

"The same naïve argument as that kid...... No wonder you like him so much. "The big judge didn't give an inch, staring at the eyes of his boss and his best friend," said it well. But it doesn't make any sense, see the ugly reality, my Holy See, the children of God the Father inhabit a sinister world, and there is a group of madmen who want to destroy Cloudsdale with a powerful alchemy bomb, it sounds ridiculous, but you and I both know that it can be a reality, since you insisted on letting that coward go twelve years ago. I knew that one day he would cause us a lot of trouble! ”

He banged on the table, not giving the Pope a chance to justify: "Now the hundreds of years of glory of the Holy See, hundreds of thousands of devout believers and almost all elite forces are gathered here, a little careless. Every qiē will be wiped out, so I'm going to find that damn alchemy bomb and the temple clown at any price. Do you understand! ”

The Pope sighed in disappointment: "Clement...... Why don't you have more faith in the Holy See and the Light? Do we need to use this kind of ...... to protect this church? Cruel way? ”

"Maybe it's a test of the Light. Maybe God has his own plan...... But that doesn't prevent me from solving this problem in my own way. "The Grand Adjudicator is unequivocal," listened. The Holy See, this dangerous world, is where I fight, and I put myself in it, defeating evil with evil, so that you, the devout saints, can pursue a purer and more holy faith...... This is my mission, and this is the meaning of the existence of the Inquisition. ”

After speaking, he took a step back, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face: "This is the most fundamental reason why you became the Pope and why I am in charge of the Inquisition...... Because we have always been two very different kinds of priesthood. ”

The Pope sighed again, he didn't want to persuade anymore.

Because there is no point.

"Now that you understand what I mean...... Then I'll leave, it's far from over. The Grand Inquisitor glanced at the Pope and turned to leave.

The Holy See asked: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Continue the search and investigation as originally planned, and then see how much information your favorite necromancer can pull out with his gentle and affectionate way." The Grand Judge said coldly, "I said that I would do whatever it takes...... As long as he really has a way, he just begs him, and what is it. ”

The Pope hesitated, but said, "Go and see her...... I'll call Sigma and Kirie over. ”

The figure of the old man paused, and then said in a low voice, "...... All right. ”

Looking at the majestic but lonely back of his old friend, the Pope had mixed feelings in his heart, and he suddenly said: "Clement! ”

The figure of the other party who was about to leave paused.

The Holy See took a deep breath: "Sure enough, I have to tell you something......

His voice trembled a little: "The look of bitterness on your face when you were being pressed by Sigma when you were in the Inquisition...... To be honest, it's enough for me to laugh for half a year! ”

A bust on the table next to the door flew up in the air and slapped at the old face of the Holy See.

￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥

When Sigma and Kelly left the bedroom, the light was deflected, and Clement's figure slowly emerged.

He walked in the direction of the bed.

As if sensing something, the girl's long eyelashes shook slightly, and then she opened her eyes and looked curiously at the old man standing beside her, who was also looking down at her with a strange expression.

"I heard that you have amnesia." The chief judge said lightly, "Have you forgotten anything?" ”

A look of embarrassment and sadness appeared on Nina's face, and she nodded lightly: "I'm sorry ......"

"Meaningless apologies." The old man shook his head, his expression was strange, staring at Nina's face, and suddenly asked, "Can't you think of anything?" ”

Nina sighed lightly, "I've been trying to remember, but I can't remember anything, I don't know what the light of destruction is...... But I heard from the teacher that it was a terrible weapon, and someone was going to kill a lot of good and innocent people with this weapon, so I will try to remember it......"

"I'm not asking you this." The Grand Adjudicator said calmly, "I'm asking, your family, can't you remember?" ”

There was no need to answer, the blackfriar's eyes were sad.

Although she couldn't remember anything, and there were vague faces and memories of her parents, the occasional little heartache in her recollection, coupled with the vague answers of Sigma and Bloodshadow, made the clever girl vaguely guess a little bit of the cruel truth - she had to accept the fact that they were no longer in the world when she remembered her parents.

"I don't think I remember." The Grand Adjudicator's expression remained flat, and he turned around and walked straight away.

Only one sentence remained.

"If you can, try to remember it and don't forget her." (To be continued......)
