"Love? What kind of love do you have in the temple? ”

"Varo, you are the son of Publius, when did you fall to such a point?"

......

"Fallen?"

Varro looked at the two intricately ornamented arched doors, and his gaze seemed to be able to see through the panels of the church dome as religious paintings extolling divinity and asceticism.

"Hahahaha, if someone asks me this, it's fine, you! You, Romecios, actually say 'love' to me, what kind of depravity? ”

"My 'Romeo', look at your own delicate face of a beautiful man, and think of how many young girls who have just begun to fall in love with you have been smitten by you. Don't you think it's ridiculous that you're telling me now that 'love' is 'degenerate'? ”

"If you treat love as a fall, the girls who have broken your heart for you are too wronged!"

......

"Big brother, I think Varro is right."

At this moment, Barthes's untimely words actually diluted the tense atmosphere a lot.

"Desire #Hope is the original sin of mankind......" Romecios echoed softly, and the corners of his mouth suddenly appeared with a certain smile, and he shook his head.

"I really envy you, everyone calls you the Sword Master, and it sounds like it's full of the glory of a holy warrior. But I am called the love saint ...... because I have a handsome face."

"Hahahaha, if I Romecios did break the girls' hearts, then let me pay for the sin!"

As he spoke, Romecios raised his right hand and ran his sharpened nails across the right side of his face. As he moved, blood slowly flowed down his cheeks and down his neck. The rose tattoo on his neck was dyed red.

......

Once again, everyone stopped.

Nearly a thousand tungsten-iron level holy warriors in the square began to line up again, scattering left and right. Forming an arc in front of Varro. At the front of this formation were two gold-level holy warriors, Romechios and Barth.

"Varro, go back." Romecios's tone was like that of a tavern trying to persuade Varro, who was always greedy for glasses and would not leave the table until late at night, to go home.

At this time, past noon, the angle of the sun is tilted a little. The sun shone on the armor of the three gold-level holy warriors, exuding a dazzling gold. And beneath them, there is a shadow as dark as a black hole.

You can hear insects and birds chirping in your ears, and you can smell the fragrance of plants and flowers in your nose. Everything seemed to be peaceful, as if Varro had just finished the war and had come to drink with his old buddies.

Barthes also spoke to persuade. "We will speak for you, and the Pope will not be difficult for you in the relationship with the royal family. Besides, your sister actually ...... It was not sent to the Inquisition, so let it pass. ”

......

"In the past?"

"I am no longer a warrior of the Holy See! I curse that damned Nero! I don't believe in bullshit anymore! ”

"But I ......"

"I can't point my sword at my former comrades......"

"I can't cause a conflict between the royal family and the Holy See again......"

"I'm even more without Appia......"

"What do you want in this life?"

......

Without warning, Varro stabbed the golden greatsword behind his back into the stone ground at his feet, held the hilt of the sword with his hand, leaned down, and rubbed his neck against the sharp blade.

That pure, hot blood meandered down the golden sword!

Varo's voice grew weaker and weaker.

"Appia is a goddess of the lost #festival, and she will fall into the netherworld forever...... I'm a fallen warrior, and I'm in the Netherworld! ”

After finishing speaking, he suddenly pressed his neck to the blade of the sword!

Varro slowly knelt on the hilt of his sword, the golden greatsword, his neck, his half-kneeling legs, his arched spine, and the unwilling resentment in his heart formed a kind of solid "triangular structure". Let Varro, a battle-hardened warrior, maintain a posture of slashing his neck, and he did not fall down after all.

After being silent for a long time, Barthes finally turned around and scolded in a deep and muffled voice, "It's stupid"! Then he walked away without looking back.

Romecios stood there, letting the blood on his cheeks #flow.

It was a long time before it was confirmed that Varro was dead, even after his blood had cooled and solidified. The doors of the Papal Basilica finally opened, and many clergy came out to dispose of Varro's body, clean the square, and care for the wounded.

It rained again that night, and it was a drizzle that lasted all night. With this drizzle, which seemed to be crying, the smell of blood in the square also dissipated.

......

......

Half a month later, Varro and Barthes took leave together, boarded a small starship of the Holy See, and headed straight for the city of Gorgi in the east.

In addition to Varro and Barthes, there was also a coffin on the starship, and on the coffin was the golden greatsword of the "Sword Master" Varro Publius.

In fact, the two of them had long been prepared to meet Tang Yun, the "fake" Holy Son, in private. Even the two of them have arranged the starship and are about to set off. Suddenly, he learned that Pope Nero had executed Appia on his own initiative. The two of them knew Varro's temperament and were afraid that he would act inappropriately under impulse.

There are four gold-level holy warriors under the Holy See, and the other two have little friendship with Varro. Once encountered, there is no room for maneuver. The two deliberately put everything down and returned to the temple peak, staying in front of the temple gate, trying to dissuade their former comrades.

Outcome......

After all, the two failed to prevent the tragedy from happening, love is like a cup of #addictive, but unstoppable poisonous wine, Varro is a human after all, even if he is an invincible "sword master". But how can he leave behind his original sin, how can he have the divinity to overcome desire?

However, Romecios and Barthes were still worth the wait, at least they didn't let Varro really storm the temple and make a big mistake.

Protecting the Pope is the mission of the Gold-level Holy Warriors, and it is also their mission to maintain the stability of Eristar and prevent another war between the Holy See and the royal world.

......

......

Xu Zheng/Fishbones and his party stayed for a long time in an ordinary town on Erixing, and the "Rain" and three other small combat ships were hidden by him in a similar way to Tang Yun.

All the Sanctuary Mecha who rushed into Z0's Star Gate that day died in the Star Gate, and they underestimated the length of Z0's ultra-long-distance stargate, even the life support system of the Heavenly Activation Sanctuary-level mecha could not provide enough survival support. After all, mechs are not designed to play cross-star raids, and it is normal to abandon top-of-the-line life-sustaining systems with high cost/energy consumption and weight in the design.
