Chapter 10: The Emperor's Fall
In Lusu's territory, the sky was black and oppressive, as if it was about to swallow the entire earth. Eren was shivering in the biting cold wind, and the ground was black, and there were hideous torn wounds everywhere. The air was so thin that he could barely breathe, but he could only roam like this.
As the lowest clergy of the church in the world, Alan has always done some shady things for the Holy See, he is a loyal believer, but he is also a minion of the church. Like countless followers, he served His Majesty the Pope and the Holy See, who represented the God of Light in all worldly affairs. He believed that what he was doing was a sure way to redeem his soul, to train his personality, and to reach the kingdom of light.
The Holy Church of Light is far from being as holy as it seems, and the Holy See, which claims to be a descendant of God, has a huge foundation and is powerful in all corners of the continent, not only serving the God of Light, guiding the world to redeem souls and the path to heaven, but also extensively involved in various gray industries, manipulating the largest black crime network in the famous continent, and controlling the lifeblood of all countries. Even if the Holy See, which represents the center, is declining and the Church is fragmented, it is still not to be underestimated.
The Church, the Holy See, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a gangster organization.
Allen is subordinate to the Blue Banner, which is the Church's distribution of forces in Van Sue and belongs to one of the Cardinal's Six Banners. Nominally, it belongs to the bearer of the golden banner representing the divine will of the God of Light, the Pope of the Universal Holy Church of Light, and the head of Pope Van Yi of the Holy See. But now Pope Van Yi is seriously ill and is declining. The six cardinal banners, including the Blue Banner, were actually divided among the six cardinals. But at least according to the rules, every year the Six Banners pay a huge amount of canony to the Holy See.
Alan crossed the Van Roe border and wandered across the vast border of Lusu. Every year, many foreigners sneak into the territory to take the women of Lusu country captive. The Lusu people are pagans, and many of the church's black industries use the Lusu people. Lusu has a vast territory, a harsh environment, a vast and sparsely populated land, and Lusu, who occupies more than a quarter of the land of the famous continent, has five times the territory of Dusu, seven times that of the Rotten Su, and the population is not even half of that of Yisu, but no other country has the idea of fighting it from beginning to end.
The ancient Cult of Light defines Lusu and declares her as "a savage land that has existed since ancient times with a curse".
Lusu's man was born with a tiger's back, and his appearance was ugly, dark and tall, and he was recognized as a reckless man. Growing up in the cold and barren land of Lusu, he was trained to have strong combat effectiveness, and he was cruel and not afraid of death, of course Allen didn't have the idea of beating them, he came to Lusu, in fact, he took risks to kidnap Lusu women.
Lusu woman, generally young and beautiful, blonde hair and blue eyes, fair skin, and good figure. Every year, the church looted them in large numbers and privately organized auctions. Countless wealthy businessmen and politicians have traveled thousands of miles to spend a lot of money to buy. And the church has made a lot of money for it. Auction of slavery has long been one of the important estates of the Church in the world.
The Church privately declared: "In order to deliver the beautiful ladies from the land of damnation, God's people are to show their magnanimous mercy and redeem their lowly lives in a loving way." “
I really don't have to worry about finding a reason to do anything.
Alan was such a loving man who thought about doctrine all the time. He could not back down for months of trekking through mountains and rivers, he no longer knew about the outbreak of the Great Western War outside, he only knew that he was looking for and redeeming the beautiful lady. Don't back down even when you're exhausted.
Lusu was too big, and the black earth made him lose his way in the first place. Even he didn't know how long he had walked, in fact he had been walking all the way to the far north, and he didn't know where, and he didn't notice that he had entered a mountain range. He went into the depths, where he found a cave.
In the cave, Alan was startled, and he saw a man frozen in ice, sleeping quietly on the ice wall, through which he could tell that it was a young girl.
The girl has fair skin, seems to be a mixed-race child, has a petite and delicate figure, a fine face, and her black hair is gently scattered and slightly curly. She was just naked, like a work of art born perfect.
Alan didn't react for a long time, and it wasn't until later that he noticed the quiet melting of the ice wall. The rate of this melting seems to be gradually accelerating.
He didn't stop it, because he found that this little girl was much more valuable than those Lusu women, "If you bring her back to the Blue Flag, it will be a great achievement!" Alan thought to himself.
The little girl finally broke free from the ice wall and was completely exposed to the air, and she opened her eyes in confusion to look at the young Alan in front of her.
Alan also looked at the little girl carefully at this time, she was very small, her height barely reached Allen's chest, she was very fair, to be precise, as pale as bone, without a trace of blood, the faint dark circles under her eyes were haggard and lovable, and the most amazing thing about the half-breed child's face was her eyes—they were blue and as beautiful as the starry sky.
The naked body was still wet, and in the bare steps, she had already come to him.
"What is this place, who are you?" said the little girl.
What a beautiful sound, Alan thought.
"My name is Alan, and you're... Who?" asked Alan cautiously.
"yes, who am I?" Only then did the little girl react, her little white hand holding her face, puzzled.
"Your name is..."
"Hmm—" The little girl looked like she was trying to think hard, and then shook her head and looked at Allen.
"How old are you?"
“17!” The little girl said firmly, as if she remembered her age in her memory, and everything else seemed to be forgotten.
"You are so small, not like a 17-year-old, but like a 12-year-old girl. Alan said.
Now it was the little girl's turn to be upset, and she glared at him in annoyance, shaking her head, and trying to explain that she was not too small.
Alan struggled to point to a spot on her body, then retracted awkwardly. The little girl looked down in confusion and looked at her own bare little softness. After a long pause, he glared at Alan angrily, his pale face was slightly red, and his blue eyes were about to drip water.
Alan explained in a panic.
The little girl looked at Allen's flustered appearance, smiled playfully, and her eyes narrowed into crescents.
Alan felt that the girl was not from Lusu, and he didn't want to give the little girl to the church now. He really didn't want this simple and cute little girl to be hurt.
He said to the little girl in a friendly way, "The outside world is very big, do you want me to take you to see it?" ”
The little girl nodded excitedly, hummed a little song, and trotted happily out of the cave.
As soon as she walked out of the cave, she was completely exposed to the air, and her silver teeth were clenched by the cold wind, and she shivered.
"Wow. Alan caught up, took off his robe, and draped it over the little girl's delicate body.
"I don't know what to call you yet!" Alan said.
"That's. Call me... Cocoa bar. The little girl pondered for a moment, then came up with a name, and smiled like a flower arrangement.
(I'm sorry for the guests, but it's finally changed.) I've been really worried about too much lately, and I'm feeling very depressed and irritable, so I'd better be myself and try to write a novel. )
