The robin prays praying, the kestrel hangovers, the shrike tidying up his work, and Arthur wonders how to educate this rebellious child......

Putting aside those demons and monsters, in fact, everyone is an ordinary person, and there will never be less worries about the hard work of the world.

Time slowly passed by zero o'clock, this old year disappeared, for a time the ancient bell rang for a long time, and the deep and melodious sound spread throughout the city, extending to the place of the seven hills.

Father Anthony leaned against the window and looked out at the city on the banks of the river, the birthplace of the faith, where the people of Filenere were much more frantic about the Birthday of the Gods, and the faithful took to the streets to celebrate and sing their praises, and the countless lights almost lit up the city, and it emitted a bright light, like a torch in the night.

Even in the tranquil Basilica of Santo-Nalo, Anthony could hear the cheers.

He crossed the earthly land, praying secretly, and looking behind him, someone was talking, as if instructing others.

"Is Your Majesty still busy?"

Someone walked over and said to Anthony.

The man was a few points younger than Anthony and had the same attire as him, and this was Anthony's former subordinates, who were also incorporated into the Demon Hunting Order after the re-establishment of the Demon Hunting Order, becoming Anthony's lieutenants.

Anthony nodded, he seemed to have been waiting for the man here, and then motioned for the man to come with him.

"His Majesty has only been in office for a short time, and although Thunder has solved many people and consolidated his position, there are still people who are unwilling to surrender to His Majesty, let alone those sinners who have taken the opportunity to flee. ”

"They're preparing to fight back?"

"Probably, I don't know about that, after all, the outcome of the matter will not be known until the meeting is over. ”

Anthony looked at the walls and heard a faint voice from there.

The Feast of God is a very important time for the Evangelical Church, and it is usually the time of the year when the Evangelical Church is at its most reveling, even the silent Cathedral of San Nalo is jubilant, where the Pope and the Cardinals gather in prayer for tomorrow.

But this time it was different, the new pope brought blood and cold winds, and the code of conduct was completely beyond everyone's imagination, and some people tried to create chaos at this handover, and he forcibly suppressed all the dissidents, and the blood of the seven hills flowed like a river.

He hung like an iron curtain over the Seven Hills, and even on the day of the birth of the gods, there was still silence and slaughter.

There is no joy and no prayer, and tonight the rulers gather here to await the Pope's order.

"Is something going to happen?" the visitor was a little puzzled, the sanctity of the Basilica of San Narlo was no longer there, but was filled with pre-war repression.

"Perhaps, Samur. ”

Anthony said as he walked, thinking back to the recent rumors.

"The civil war in the Vikings of the north is over, and the kingdoms are united again by a Viking named Ragnar, who is like a flock of hungry vultures, staring at the south. ”

Cold winds are blowing from the north.

This is not good news, for the Vikings, everyone hoped that it would always be in a civil war, constantly draining itself, but now that they have ended the civil war, the north is barren, and those Vikings are destined to set their sights on the other side of the sea, and plunder is their heaven.

"The distant empire of Leber is also developing, and during the Glorious War, they have not been idle, constantly developing trade, and now their industrial technology is also constantly upgrading...... Even they have left the Holy Gospel Papal States far behind. ”

Anthony is uneasy that the rise of industrial technology has shattered the already established dominance of the Western world, and now there is a steady stream of new players joining.

The power of faith is terrifying, and once the power of the Holy Restoration Papal States can radiate throughout the Western world, and in some countries, even kings cannot succeed to the throne without the approval of the Pope.

But now that faith is in dust, the Evangelical Church is not as good as it used to be, and those in power are presumably unwilling to allow it to rise again.

There is not much time left for the Evangelical Church, and when all this intensifies to its peak, it must be the rise of a great war, a war that will engulf the entire Western world.

"Presumably the Pope is also having a headache for this, not to mention the fugitives, who know the secrets of the demons...... It's not clear to me what they're going to do. ”

Anthony walked to the end of the corridor, where a large door was erected in front of him.

The doors inside the Cathedral of San Nalo are all the same, but the key to open them is different, like a huge labyrinth, and you can hardly find the door you want to open without someone to guide you.

With a slow twist of the key, the door opened, and the interior space was dim, illuminated only by the light of candles.

"What is this going to do?" said Samuel, curious.

He had only recently joined, and he had a strong curiosity about strange demons, which were like a world of shadows, and now appeared before his eyes.

"Archives. ”

Anthony replied.

"Our situation is not good, Cardinal Migar has fled with most of them, although the remnants of their forces in the country have been eliminated, but no one knows what they are still hiding, not to mention that they still know too many secrets about the Church. ”

His hand gently brushed the document bag on the wooden table, and the yellowed paper carried a sense of historical obsolescence.

"The chaos caused by Advent was great, and much of the Church's materials were lost in that betrayal...... There are many secrets that even we don't know. ”

Samuel felt the pressure of the event, the secrets were written down on paper, and now they were destroyed in the flames, and all the secrets remained in the minds of those involved.

"Are we going after the cardinals?" Samuel speculated.

As long as the fugitive cardinals exist, the Pope's rule will not be absolutely stable, and judging by his iron-blooded means, he will never let this group of people go.

"No, there's no rush on this side, we're going to do something else. ”

Anthony said as he opened the file bag and pulled out the papers.

"Countries have already started the race, we don't have an industrial base, sooner or later we will be left behind...... This is the Pope's order, and the Church will ostensibly communicate with Invig for knowledge of demons in exchange for support for steam technology, but secretly this requires our work. ”

Anthony looked at the paper, he seemed to have read it once, and now he was only looking at it again.

"What job?" asked Samuel.

"Track down the Book of Revelation. ”

Anthony said in a deep voice, this is the key to the secret blood technology, and they must recover it before the Holy Gospel Papal States are completely thrown down, so that the secret blood can continue to be produced.

"It is certain that Lawrence betrayed the Church, he stole the Book of Revelation on the night of Adventing, and the other day the St. of Stillness detected Lawrence's Silver Bolt in Invig. ”

"The Silverbolt?"

Samur hadn't been in charge for too long, and he didn't know much about the Demon Hunting Order.

"A special device used to restrain the Witcher, and when his secret blood awakening level crosses a critical level, the Silent Saint will detect him, but due to the loss of the Apocalypse, this thing has been discontinued. ”

"It's ...... Magical. ”

Samuel lamented that since joining, something would refresh his worldview every day, and he was not too surprised by the mysterious silver bolt.

The whole evangelical church is a strange and secret complex, and no one knows what lies beneath this darkness.

Anthony picked up the photo clipped in the paper.

"Of course, it's not just Lawrence, we've spotted another witcher in the same location. ”

At the same time, two witchers broke through the threshold, and they were still in the same position, I don't know if the two were fighting something, or they were fighting each other.

After receiving these reports, the power of the Evangelical Church in Invig was secretly mobilized, although it is not as good as it was then, but it is still somewhat useful today, they operate efficiently, collect newspapers and report them.

"Based on the feedback from the Silent Sage, we have checked the code of the Silver Bolt and the original witcher of the code...... According to the list, he should be dead. ”

Anthony looked at the man in the black-and-white photo, and due to the angle of the candid shot, the man's face was only slightly visible in the crowd, but this was enough to judge his share.

"Who is he?" asked Samuel.

"Lorenzo Holmes. Anthony said.

"Names? I thought the witchers didn't have names. ”

"This is his own doing, he is a detective by profession, and he is currently suspected of having something to do with the purification agency...... This will complicate the situation. ”

Anthony didn't know if Lorenzo was in an alliance with the Purifier, which would make it more difficult for him to do so, and with Lorenzo's presumably, the Purifier already knew something about demons, which would only cost the Evangelical Church even more.

"So we're going to hunt him down?"

Anthony shook his head.

"The purifiers will not allow us to operate freely in their territory, not to mention my suspicion that they already know of the existence of the Book of Revelation, and that if it deteriorates, it will lead us to war. We will go there as a mission. ”

"That's what we're going to do. Anthony continued.

"The first Witchers have left for Invig a few days ago, and with the best of you in the team, he will be one of the hopes of this operation.

They will investigate all of this secretly in the Old Dunling, and we will make deals with the purifiers in the open to paralyze them. ”

"The plan doesn't seem very reliable. ”

Samuel didn't like the best, he had seen the unsettling guy.

"Because you don't have to know the whole picture. "And we don't know anything about the old Dunling, and many of the plans need to be made there before they can be prepared." ”

This was a crucial operation, and the slightest mistake could lead to a siege by the purifiers, and with the current influence of the Evangelical Church, it would be difficult for them to leave Invig alive.

"Anyway, that's about it, go back and get ready, we're about to set off. ”

Anthony thought for a moment and continued.

"It's best to say goodbye to your family. ”

Journeys are all about saying goodbye, but when it comes out of Anthony's mouth, it has a completely different meaning.

"Am I going to die there?" said Samuel, grim.

"Quite possibly. Anthony said with a bit of a heaviness.

"It's the way the world comes next, and the Purifier won't let our guard down, and so are the two Demon Hunters, who have lived through the Night of Advent, and they know very well what the new Demon Hunters represent. ”

He glanced at Samuel from beginning to end.

"You...... There are also those new demon hunters, flowing with the secret blood of secondary recovery, and there is no binding of silver bolts in their bodies, if you want, you can directly demonize and maximize your combat power, but in the same way, this also means that you will definitely die. ”

"Maybe I won't get to that point. Samuel said that after the implantation of the secret blood, he suffered a great deal of pain, and also possessed a power far beyond ordinary people.

"No, you don't understand, Samuel, you haven't seen a real witcher, and you're just a poor substitute for them...... We are all so fragile compared to the witchers who are still able to slash and slash in bondage, like the gap between a newborn baby and an old hunter. ”

Anthony said that witchers were trained from a young age, and they were born to fight demons, without a name, without a past, and to maintain absolute sanity.

These new witchers were all selected from among the Templars, and they were much more gentle than the ruthless witchers.

Although it flows with secret blood, it has a completely different heart, the heart of no stone.

"Have you seen the witcher, then? Father Anthony?"

Samuel asked, he knew about the past of the Demon Hunters, he knew that all the Demon Hunters were dead, except for those who had fled, and he didn't understand why Anthony still had such a ...... about the real Demon Hunters when he had never seen them Fear.

Anthony was silent, and he sighed faintly for some time.

"I've seen it, Samuel. ”

Thinking back to the mask of steel, his burning eyes slowly rising in the darkness beneath him, even after all this time, Anthony still couldn't remember how he had left the Stagnant Saint, but then he knew why the Pope had survived so many assassinations.

Seny Lothair, himself the most terrible predator, just no one knows about it.

The aura of that moment, fear and despair, as if stared at by the most terrible thing in the world.

"When you meet him, you will appreciate the difference between you. ”

Anthony said meaningfully.

Like a child playing with fire, words and descriptions cannot make him awe-inspiring after all, only a fiery burn can wake him up, but this time it is different, once there is a mistake, the price is no longer cheap burns, but death.

Samuel will understand, and when he faces the blazing flames, he will feel the same thread as himself.

That fear that comes from the depths of the soul.
