The dark clouds in the sky were getting denser and the thunder and lightning were becoming more and more violent, which showed that more and more magic was leaking from the cave.

"Haven't you done it yet?" Joyka, who was pacing around, couldn't hold back any longer, and urged Cassius, who was sitting on the ground and working hard.

"Shut up!" Cassius let out a rare angry roar at Joyka.

He used a branch on the ground to deconstruct the magical structure of the magic barrier in the cave, but when Joeyka interrupted it, the program that had already been constructed was interrupted, and all structural analysis had to be reversed.

Compared to the two irascible men, the two ladies were relatively calm – at least on the surface. Ishnova didn't rebuke Joyka for her arrogance, the only thing she could do was to stay by her husband's side and prepare all the magic potions that might be needed in case she needed them. Alice, on the other hand, sat on a stone at the entrance of the cave with her hands on her chest, staring at the dark cave with her eyes unblinking.

Suddenly, Alice stood up with a "whoosh" and walked down the mountain.

"Where are you going?" Joyka stopped her.

"That Pola chief, he probably knows what's going on, I'm going to invite him over. Alice said.

"I also think there's something wrong with that old man. Joika nodded, "I'd better go, you stay and protect the two of them." ”

After saying that, Joyka didn't care whether Alice agreed or not, and ran down the mountain. Usually Joika can wait patiently in the shadows for more than ten hours or days in order to snipe a target, but if he waits aimlessly, Joika can't be quiet for a second.

After Joyka left, Alice returned to the mouth of the cave, and she did not sit back on the stone, but she still stared at the cave in a daze.

"Sister Alice, don't do anything dangerous. Sister Sophia doesn't want anything to happen to you either. Ishnova was keenly aware of what Alice was trying to do, and hurriedly dissuaded Alice from rushing into the cave at all costs.

However, Ishnova's persuasion did not work as it should, and while the two couples were unprepared, Alice rushed into the cave with a "whoop".

I'm sorry, but nothing is more important in my mind than Princess Sophia's safety.

Thousands of miles away, St. Papal Island.

With the fall of the Sensibility and the "Purifiers", the "Holy Terror" has finally come to an end - at least in form. People's lives gradually returned to their original trajectory, but people did not have any greater hope for the future life, because almost everyone could faintly feel that over the seemingly calm holy city, a layer of unsettling fog shrouded in the sky, invisible and intangible, but it made people feel as if they could drag the whole city into the abyss of hell at any time.

Under the bright sun, an open-air garden terrace on the fifth floor of the Papal Palace is dazzled by brightly colored flower clusters. Originally, this was not a garden, let alone an open-air terrace, but a meditation hall originally reserved for the Pope to communicate with the gods of light.

In last year's "Holy City Rebellion", when the vampire prince Dekra drove a modified zombie dragon into the Holy Pope's Palace, he broke through directly from here, and then this place became the place where the zombie dragon and the S.H.I.E.L.D. soldiers fought, and all the superstructures of the meditation hall were almost razed to the ground. After the death of the Pope, during the subsequent period when the Cardinal ruled the Papal Palace, because the Cardinal did not need the presence of a new pope, they did not spend any resources and energy to rebuild the Meditation Hall, so they left it in ruins.

Now that the era of the Cardinal has come to an end and a new papal era has begun, it is puzzling that the new pope, the former chief inquisitor of the Inquisition, Sixtus, did not rebuild the sacred chamber of contemplation, but transformed it into an open-air garden platform, which looked beautiful but lacked the sacredness and solemnity it should have.

At this moment, a young girl of peerless beauty was standing among the colorful flowers, with eerie eyes that did not match her appearance and age, and was looking intently at the other side of the Olopa Sea to the east.

"It's all your private domain. ”

An elderly man in a pure white bishop's robe and a silver mask came behind the girl.

Hearing from Sixtus's sour tone, he was very unhappy with Christina's decision to transform the former Fantasy Room into an open-air garden terrace. Obviously, he Sixtus is the orthodox pope today, why does he, as the pope, even have to obey the arrangement of a spurned organization for the renovation of his palace?

"Aren't you always there, and don't you think it's getting nice here?" Christina pretended not to hear Csixtus.

"Don't pretend to be confused!" The new pope didn't talk nonsense with her, and directly picked out the topic, "Does what you can say in the truth still count?"

"Of course it counts. Without thinking about it, Christina replied, "After the common enemy is settled, you stay and become your Pope Majesty, and we will all move to the Western Continent to develop." This was a consensus that we had agreed on before we cooperated. ”

"But why are you still here?"

"The time has not yet come, and we still have a lot of assets and people to gather. ”

"And how much more time do you need?"

"Give us another year. ”

"One year? No, things will change over time, and you only have one month to prepare. ”

"His Majesty the Pope wants to force us to rebel? at least half a year. ”

"No, I can only give you three months at most, not one more day. ”

"Deal!"

The new Pope paused for a moment, he didn't expect this woman to agree so readily. He was stunned and realized that this bargain seemed to be a trap, a three-month buffer time, and from the very beginning, Christina wanted the result. However, now that he had made a verbal promise, it was not easy for Sixtus to continue the conversation with her. Without even saying hello, Sixtus turned and left the terrace in the open garden.

Three months, giving the truth plenty of buffer time, but at the same time giving him plenty of time to prepare. The cooperation between Sixtus and the Truth Society was secret, and even if one of them reneged on the covenant, it would never be morally whipped. Since the Truth Society had given him three months, Sextus was sure that he would complete his secret transfer during these three months, and that the Truth Society would be left with him.

Killing people and destroying mouths is more in line with the interests of Sixtus than letting the tiger return to the mountain.

......

Christina was naturally very aware of the little calculations that the new pope had in mind, but she did not debunk them to her face, and there was no need to take any extra precautions, because she knew that everything was now under her control.

In addition to this, there was an even more important matter that caught her attention and made her too lazy to pay attention to the self-righteous new pope.

There was a huge magic force from the other side of the sea to the east, and although it was far away, Christina could still clearly feel the strong declaration of war from that magic power.

"Howard, is it useful that you use such an extreme way to confront your mentor?" Christina sneered.
