The figure of the bloodthirsty duke gradually disappeared, but Mei'er, who was still naked on the throne, showed a strange smile on her face, and then disappeared, regaining her calm.

The bloodthirsty duke, who had released his desire, walked quickly to a remote study, where there was already an old man in black waiting inside, and when he saw the bloodthirsty duke coming in, the old man in black, who was originally sitting there, quickly got up and bowed down and said, "I have seen His Majesty." ”

Haha smiled, the bloodthirsty duke waved his hand and said, "General Gu doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat." ”

Hearing this, the old man hesitated for a moment and then sat down.

The bloodthirsty duke looked directly at the old man in black and smiled: "This time it's really troublesome General Gu, and I have to let you run a trip." ”

Shaking his head, the old man replied, "The king is too polite, and it is a humble duty to share the king's worries. It's a subordinate thing. ”

Haha laughed, the bloodthirsty duke spoke: "In this case, General Gu, this king will not be polite to you, can the arc team come with you?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, according to your orders, all twenty members of the arc team have arrived in the palace. ”

Nodding, the bloodthirsty duke spoke: "This is very good, presumably that little bastard of George will arrive in the next few days, just in time for this king to catch it all!"

The bloodthirsty duke showed a satisfied smile on his face and said, "General Gu has worked hard, let's go down and rest first!" Nodding, the old man in black walked out of the study and headed towards the backyard.

Looking at the old man in black who was gradually disappearing, the bloodthirsty duke's eyes flashed, he didn't know what he was thinking, he sneered, and the bloodthirsty duke seemed to say to himself: "No matter what, you can't escape from the palm of this king's hand, this time you must be broken into ten thousand pieces!" A cold aura arose from the bloodthirsty duke's body, there was a fierce color in his eyes, and his hanging fist was clenched tightly.

Explaining the matter, the bloodthirsty duke walked towards the harem.

Pushing open the door, a burst of fragrance came to the nostrils, it was the long-awaited Mei'er.

For a while, it was full of spring again (the author complained: Sooner or later, you will die of exhaustion if you do this, big brother, do you want a kidney treasure......)

It was already dawn at this moment, and the darkness was still shrouding the earth, and in the Augustan Empire, the huge and majestic imperial capital walls were still in the dark, and the outline was still so distinct, and the city was still asleep at night, and only occasionally those heavily armed vigilante soldiers walked through the streets to the sound of the owl's leather boots, and they would make a little sound.

In addition, in addition to the imperial palace located in the center of the imperial capital, there are rare lights in the huge imperial capital.

Of course, there are exceptions.

That is the Temple of Light in the east of the imperial capital! The majestic temple does not occupy a large area of land like the imperial palace, but standing under the temple and looking at the dozens of tall steps, the outline of the temple is full of solemnity in the night—this is a kind of solemnity left after years of tempering!

Tradition! Under the Temple of Light, it is precisely the sense of oppression brought about by that "tradition"! This is a large hall with a square shape - the reason why the square shape is used is to imply that the temple adheres to the principle of the spokesman of the gods to stand on earth: justice! Although the word "justice" may not be accurate, or rather.

* For thousands of years. There have also been many people who have questioned this so-called "justice". But...... Those voices are long gone. Or finally silence.

Because in front of the main hall of the Temple of Light, under the dozens of steps. There is a symbol of this "just" building! Burning at the stake! This seems to be just a very ordinary large stone pillar. Because of the number of times it has endured the Punishment Ground for thousands of years, the color of the stone pillar is black and dark - except that it looks a little wider than the normal ground pillar, this pillar does not seem to have much place to stand under this pillar.

You can seem to feel the feeling of oppression that makes people's hearts heavy!

In the temple of light, among the pillars of the main hall, there is a faint light of torches, but the burning pillar outside the hall stands quietly in the darkness, and the traces of fireworks on the ground seem to be a silent telling, telling the tradition of the temple, and the solemnity of the temple...... Also, the temple ground, cruel!!

There was silence all around. In the distance, beneath the temple, only a few Templars on duty, dressed in full armor, stood beneath the temple, and the night shrouded them, making them look like sculptures—except for the solemn eyes.

And at this time, there was a black figure, standing under the stake, covered in black robes, as if he was hiding in the darkness all the time, only under the high cloak, revealing a beam of gaze, which made him look a little more lively, this person just looked at the stake in front of him quietly, looking at the traces of fireworks burning on it for thousands of years, and there was a faint sadness in his eyes......

After a long time, a long sigh finally broke the silence.

"I now finally understand what the so-called 'justice' of the temple is maintained. ”

The man's voice was soft, low, with a hint of sadness in his tone: "It is by this pillar that anyone who doubts the 'justice' of the temple is burned to death! They were all burned to death. ”

The voice seemed to be a faint whisper, and it seemed to be a mocking telling.

Just as the man had finished saying this, an old voice came from behind him, "Have you stood here all night?" Behind this black-robed earth, about ten paces away. An old man in a white robe seemed to suddenly step out of the darkness.

The old man's face was full of deep wrinkles like a knife and axe, and his complexion seemed to be very pale, almost weak, but the eyes. There was an indescribable serenity in those eyes.

"Yes, my lord, I've been here all night. ”

The man in black standing at the foot of the stake seemed to smile: "I think you must have sensed it." ”

"Everything was already predestined. The white-robed old man walked up a few steps slowly, his steps were staggering and heavy, but his voice was so calm and calm: "I think you should know this better than me." ”

Finally, the man in black turned around, and his eyes looked at the old man with a hint of sadness, and the eyes of the two people, in the black, seemed to have been intertwined.

Finally, the man in black took a step back. I owe a little to my body. "Yes, Your Excellency, I understand. ”

The old man in the white robe, the current Pope of the Temple of Light in the Canglan Continent, and the spiritual leader of the entire Temple of Light, Paul XVI. He looked very weak, and even his voice seemed to be a little out of breath: "Sphinx, I thought you would have something to say to me." ”

"Should I say anything?" the man in black raised his chin slightly, this action made the distant light faintly reflected on his face, making him show the traces of his chin, the contours of his face appeared very soft, and his voice was sad, as if it was another chant: "God said, 'Do not be afraid, do not be suspicious, do not be confused, for everything is predestined, everything is in the eyes of God, so, Your Majesty, I have nothing to say. ”

Paul XVI finally showed a hint of surprise, and he muttered for a moment: "Sphinx, although ...... All the angels who came to earth came with God's will, but I want you to understand a little bit...... I am the Lord of the Church on earth! I am the only spokesman of God on earth! If there is a voice in the temple that is different from mine, then whoever it is. It's all against God's will, including you, the angels!"

The man in black was the Sphinx, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he bent down again, this time with a more respectful gesture: "As you wish, Your Majesty." ”

"Good. ”

Paul XVI nodded, seeming satisfied, "The successor has appeared, but nothing surprises us. As you said, 'Everything is predestined, everything is under God's gaze.' 'Just the newly awakened heir, I don't want you to do anything that displeased me!I want you to understand that our greatest enemy right now is in the north—not a hairy boy!'

The Sphinx was smiling, even when he laughed, his sad eyes did not change: "Your Majesty, I also ask you to remember that I came to this world with them, and I came to this filthy and ugly world to accomplish God's will!"

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his arms and opened them. He said quietly: "All the angels who have come will do their best to assist you, help you, and let the will of God spread all over the continent! However, you must not forget the second will of God......

Suddenly, his hands burst into flames. In the middle of the night. Quickly shot at the stake behind him! With a bang, the towering stake immediately burst into flames! Under the flames of the sky, the ancient pillar seemed to reveal its hideous nature, and under the blazing flames, the flames pulled the shadow of the Sphinx on the ground to grow elders.

“...... The second will of the goddess: to erase from this world a person who should not be left in this world! One day in the future, that man will be under this pillar and be burned by the flames. ”

The Pope was silent for a long time, he looked at the Sphinx in front of him, looking at this angel who came, the old Pope sighed in his heart, and finally, he nodded: "God has mercy on the world." ”

The Sphinx was smiling: "Yes, God has mercy on the world!"

The old Pope left slowly, and after a while, he came to a remote study, where an old man in a red robe was waiting respectfully, and looked at the standing man lightly, the Pope sat down slowly, and said, "Is the matter done?"

Hearing the Pope's question, the cardinal lowered his body and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, according to your orders, a team of Templars has set out, and the plan to hide has been successfully implemented. ”

As if all this was expected, the Pope had no expression on his face, he just continued: "Very well, the Duchy of Bavaria has what we want, tell Mei'er, move quickly! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, your subordinates understand. ”

With a wave of his hand, the Pope let the cardinal go down, and he sat there quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
