Chapter 142: The Angel Who Fell from the Clouds

Austin slowly moved his left shoulder, which had been pierced by a second-class griffin warrior, and now healed under the effect of the medicine, but it was still a little extremely jerky, and it would be a big obstacle if it was to fight.

Zoro looked playfully towards Austin's face, noticing that the blood-colored power that was gradually gathering stretched out towards him like tentacles, but there was no defensive gesture.

"Why do you want to act like you're facing a great enemy, since I've been talking to you for so long, I won't do anything to you again. Or do you want to arrest me?"

"Everybody says I'm a mad dog of the Holy See, what if I really think so?" Austin put his hands on the hilt of his knife and calmly put forward a hypothesis that resembled a joke.

Sauron, however, was a little bored by such a conversation, and stiffly pulled the topic back: "Quetzalcoatl Society...... It was just one of my agencies, and their Blood Sacrifice and Beast Organ Transplant were a supplement, or by-product, of this experiment. Religious believers are a great source of experiments, and I think you know what I mean. ”

"Can I describe you as madness?"

"Why? Because I'm breaking the law? Or am I doing something that is contrary to the humanity preached by the Holy See? We are destined to be at the forefront of our time, and they are just the fuel that propels us forward. The Holy See will use even more brutal ways to squeeze and destroy them, only to be more subtle!"

Sauron slammed the scepter in his hand to the ground, and exaggeratedly waved his other hand in the air.

Austin did not take up the subject, and such a concept has penetrated into the hearts of most nobles, isolating themselves from ordinary untouchables psychologically and physically, and even creating the practice of "descent" and intermarriage.

"So, Lord Sauron, what is your idea: to overthrow the Bolton dynasty and establish yourself king in the Northland with griffon warriors?"

Lord Sauron was unimpressed by Austin's direct question, and replied, "Why do you think that?

Austin pondered for a moment, and suddenly said in his heart, "The Fallen Angel Order that we used to encircle and suppress back then!"

"That's right, the Quetzalcoatl Society was originally a vassal of the Fallen Angel Order, and I am one of the 'Twelve Blood Wings' of the Fallen Angel Order. In the aftermath of that siege, the entire Order was killed and wounded, and only a few of the twelve Blood Wings escaped and ascended to heaven, and I was one of them. Remember our teachings?"

"The blood of all living beings is my wing, and the mountain of bones builds my ladder. Austin let out a terrible laugh, the first major battle he experienced after joining the Inquisition was the attack on the headquarters of the Fallen Angels, in which Gotterny, who had joined the Inquisition, disappeared, presumably without any bones in the melee.

Sauron looked at him with some surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to remember our teachings so clearly. So what do you think that means?"

If Gucci and the others were here, they would have been surprised, and Sauron today seemed to be a very competent teacher, trying to make Austin figure out the key to these things for himself.

Austin didn't know about this, and he didn't have the energy to think about Zoro's anomaly today, so he just followed his words and said, "Hmm...... In my opinion, it is nothing more than the saying that cult gangsters induce believers to sacrifice themselves and cause killings, but what is the specific meaning?"

Sauron seemed to remember some unpleasant experience, his cheeks twitched slightly, and his voice trembled a little: "The first half of my life was speeding on the road of pursuing power, and Father God is just a tool for me to draw power. Later, I briefly served in an institution of the Holy See, and soon after I was sent to the north as an officer, ostensibly disconnected from there, but in reality still inextricably linked. The organization was called the Sunset Church, the predecessor of the Fallen Angels. ”

Austin suddenly understood, and concluded: "Unloading the mill and killing the donkey? However, since you are an institution of the Holy See, the most you can do is to abolish it, so how can you defect from the Holy See and become the number one cult on the wanted list of the Inquisition?"

"Cult...... Our original research was how to combine the organs of beasts with humans, or create beasts that could only be called monsters. As you might imagine, it was at that time that experiments with living people began. ”

"What's next?"

"The experiment hit a bottleneck, and the creatures created were either nondescript or difficult to survive. Later, after a tribal discussion with the Cardinals, it was said that the development of the Holy See should focus on science and technology, not on biochemical experiments, so that we, or rather, the 'Sunset Church', went from being the darlings of the time to being the stain that the Holy See had to wash away. ”

"Fallen Angel...... If I'm not mistaken, you've been funding cults all along?"

"Fuck you cult!" Sauron's roar was tinged with rage, but after a brief vent, he looked a little gloomy, "Forget it, it's no longer there, what do you think...... Actually, it doesn't matter. Not only the Order, but also the Sunset Church. The biggest obstacle to the experiment was rejection, but I found the perfect solution when I arrived in the Northlands - the real angelic ruins!

The "Embrace of the Goddess of Light" was covered by another stone wall, and countless pillars of light poured down from the dome, accompanied by Zoro's roar: "With them, I can create the strongest biochemical warriors!

Under the pillar of light, the floor of the Colosseum looked like it was really transparent ice, and layers of huge figures could be vaguely seen below, wings like snow-white quilts protecting the curled up body, and heavy body armor with hideous barbs covering a perfect body.
