Chapter 197: A Secret

The black-robed wizard's hand slowly reached towards him.

In Qiong'an's eyes, it was like a demon with teeth and claws, grinning wildly, stretching out its claws and tentaclesβ€”

Perhaps it was because the impact of waking up to find that his life had been turned upside down, and that he had even become someone else's servant, and he even forgot that he still had a sense of consciousness and forgot to mobilize his magic to resist.

For a moment, Joan Borgia could only watch as the other party's hand approached little by little, until it touched his own skin......

The masked man's hand touched his cheek, then across his shoulder, brushing the silky strands of hair at the back of his head; And because he couldn't move, he could only watch in a daze, feeling like a large doll to be manipulated with.

……

"Hmm...... And so it was. ”

Feeling the familiar sensation of shattering glass coming from his hand, Richard lowered his hand and looked at the half-lying and half-seated knight with amazement.

The godkiller cone fell from his sleeve.

Compared to the dark but radiant appearance of the past, its color has become dull and dull.

Joan noticed this phenomenon, and his pupils contracted slightly, as if he had finally realized something that made him feel unbelievable and panic-

"Looks like you know what I'm holding in my hand, right? Can you tell me that? ”

Richard smiled.

β€œ......”

The young bishop noticed that the curse-like restraint of his body had eased a little, and at least his lips could move and his throat could make sounds.

He knew that he couldn't refuse the other party's request now, at least not until he fully understood the mechanism of the oath, so he replied honestly.

"Yes, it's the God-killing Cone. I know it because it is recorded in the Historical Archives of the Great Sanctuary that there was a pope who died in it......"

Richard searched the palace of knowledge and spoke slowly.

"You're talking about Pope Paul II 700 years ago?"

He was a little impressed by the name.

About 700 years ago, there was no Holy Alliance in this land, and naturally there was no "Covenant Calendar"; After the collapse of the thousand-year-old dynasty, the princes of Middle-earth were divided and the kingdoms stood side by side - this chaotic era was later called the "Age of the Kings".

Rasputin did not even know about the well-known figures who are alive today, and he had no interest in the history of the Holy See. He knew because he was interested in the so-called "lost treasures".

Among the various rumors about the treasure, the story of the White Lion King, who "traveled across the continent and accidentally found the legacy of an ancient god before he became king, and finally built an immortal cause based on it".

Paul II was in the same era as Lorraine I, and his life was full of mysteries, not least the rumor that he had a falling out with the young White Lion King, and that he also knew a lot about the heritage of the Old Gods.

After the end of the War of Eternity, the Church of Dawn was reborn as the core of faith in Middle-earth, and the power of the Holy See has grown strong and prominent for thousands of years, until today. Unlike during the War of the Gods, in such a powerful situation as the Holy See, it is actually very rare for a pope to abdicate naturally, and St. Paul II is one of them, and even the truth about how he died in the end is disputed......

- "He died as an assassin sent by the Nightingale Order. ”

Joan did not hesitate to tell this secret, which had been hidden by the Holy See for hundreds of years.

"Nightingale Killers...... I remember, it was a cult that worshipped the goddess of conspiracy? ”

"If there is not a true god behind him, who would dare to assassinate the Pope?"

Joan replied with a wry smile.

"After the gods signed the Hidden Pact, the power of some of the gods who were unwilling to leave was still left on the earth, and there were even those who could encircle the world with their true bodies, and the conspiracy lady was one of them. This god-killing cone is a weapon she has made herself. ”

"So, do you know how it works?"

Joan pursed her lips. After a moment, he nodded silently.

"It is also known as the 'Spell Buster' and the 'Mystery Killer' by alchemists, and can absorb any form of curse or spell, and has the ability to directly destroy talismans, and finally, even the Pope's miracle has not escaped ......"

As I said before, everything that can be named "God" can never be mortal, and must have a corresponding rank. The God-killing Cone can not only destroy the spells of ordinary and extraordinary people, but even miracles and even all-powerful level powers can interfere.

Of course, if you want to fight against a sage, you can't do it with just a dead thing. But Richard was not interested in the truth behind the assassination of Paul II by the Nightingale Order, and he just looked at the pitch-black prismatic thorn in his hand with pity.

...... It turns out that once the highest level of power is used once, it will become like this......

"It's no longer usable."

What he didn't expect was that just to lift the spell of Joan's body, it would actually cause such a large load on the god-killing cone.

"Looks like you've noticed the spell I've been cast. This was originally a miracle-level blessing...... Forget it, I can even take out the god-killing cone, and you and I have signed an oath again, so I really don't need to continue to hide it. Mr. Raspuchin, when did you notice that? ”

"Of course, it's time to make a vow. You know, that's impossible to hide from me. ”

Richard replied.

Having said that, this incident was actually reminded by Miss Real Name, and he was really taken aback at the time.

"But I didn't expect you to hide your hair color......"

Somehow, Joan Borgia's hair was no longer the clear blonde it used to be, but a bright red like a blooming rose.

"Why are you hiding this?" Richard couldn't help but wonder, "I think this hair color is more suitable for you now." ”

After all, there is already a blonde girl by his side.

Joan glanced at him and asked softly.

"Is this an order to his own servants as a master?"

There was anger in the other party's tone. This is the intense anger that arises when the young bishop realizes that the greatest secret he has always buried deep in his heart has now been exposed by a man he has only met once.

"Nope. This is just the emotion I felt from the bottom of my heart when I faced a beautiful and noble lady. ”

As he spoke, he quietly unleashed a higher magic.

"Ice Mirror".

Tiny droplets of water suspended in the air gather from all directions and condense into solids at a sudden drop in temperature.

This magic can release freezing air and ice picks, and can reflect energy, which can be described as an offensive and defensive one, and is loved by the battle wizards of the natural school.

But now, its only use is to illuminate the figures of the two people in the cave.

A mirror made of ice appeared in front of Joan Borgia -

Reflected in the mirror is a beautiful man with rose-red hair and dark pupils, and a bright red robe that sets off her figure even higher.
