Xiao Ke walked up to Demi's side, touched her head, and said, "Little Demi, do you have any other relatives?" ”

But Demi just cried vigorously, didn't speak at all, and made everyone helpless, neither could she leave her alone, let alone take her on the road with her, if she was brought to the Holy See, wouldn't she be caught in the net?

Just when everyone was at a loss, Futian suddenly sniffed the air and shouted, "Who is there?" Get out! ”

From a bungalow that had just been damaged, an old voice came: "Ahem, young man, don't be so angry, my old man is just old, and his legs and feet are not very dexterous, but he didn't mean to avoid you." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

From the gap in the house, an old man with a gray beard slowly walked out, although he held a wooden staff in his hand, but it seemed that the purpose of decoration was most, and his legs and feet were not at all inadequate.

The four of Xiao Ke all stared cautiously at the old man who suddenly appeared, and roared in a low voice: "Who are you?" ”

The old man did not answer immediately, but stared at Korla's corpse, and after a while, he sighed and said, "I am the one who helped you solve your troubles, aren't you embarrassed about how to place little Demi?" Leave her to me to take care of. Little Demi, come with me! ”

Xiao Ke pursed his lips and said, "You said I would go with you?" How old are you? ”

But before he finished speaking, little Demi had already raised his head, and when he saw the old man, he immediately ran to him crying, and shouted: "Grandpa! ”

The four of them exclaimed together: "You are Demi's grandfather?" ”

The old man nodded and said in a deep voice: "My name is Thor, and I am Korla's father and little Demi's grandfather. After speaking, he bowed deeply to everyone and said, "Thank you for saving my granddaughter, old Thor will remember this favor." ”

Fu Tian narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "So you are also a brain eater?" ”

The old man shook his head, "Braineater is a contemptuous term for the Nuttu, and I don't accept it. The Swamp Atlas are a big race, and our people are all over the world, numbering hundreds of thousands, but how many times have you heard of brain-eating events in the world? As for those individual incidents, which clan of people does not have a few scum? ”

Shoko pointed to Korla's corpse: "Then what happened to your son?" ”

The old man's eyes showed a sad look, and he sighed and said, "Ah! Korla was a good boy, but also a paranoid child. From the day he eloped with Demi's mother instead of listening to his people's advice, I knew that such an end was inevitable. ”

"What the hell happened to make him act insane?" Funeral Heaven asked.

"The thing is simple, ordinary doom for ordinary people. It's just that a few hooligans got up to speed and robbed and raped a woman who was left alone on the road, but this kind of thing happened to Demi's mother, and it was a disaster for Korla! ”

Old Thor's tone did not fluctuate, but his eyes were full of tears: "Korla chose revenge, but even so, he only vented his anger on those few miscellaneous people and their families, and did not harm the innocent. Having such a stupid son, should I be proud of him, or should I be sad for him? ”

"Damn!" Xiao Ke said angrily: "That kind of miscellaneous is more than innocent!" If it were me, let alone eating their brains, I would tear them all into pieces and feed them to the dogs! Old man, since your race is so strong, why don't you come to help your son, and just watch him being killed by the Holy See? ”

Old Thor shook his head: "Whatever the cause, after all, Korla violated the ancestral teachings and gave the Holy See an excuse to kill him. The clan would not risk a full-scale war with the Holy See to help him, and the old man, as an elder of the clan, could not show favoritism. ”

Fu Tiandao: "What are you going to do?" ”

"I will bury Korla with his wife, this is his last wish."

Xiao Ke was surprised: "That's it? This is your son, he was killed so badly, you just forget it? ”

The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Then what should I do?" Kill the Holy See alone and avenge him? Thirty years ago I might have done that, but not now, I have too many responsibilities, and my life belongs to all people, and I can't throw it away. I really envy your youth, you don't have so many fetters, you can do whatever you want. Ay! When I get older, my sharpness has been polished. ”

He walked up to Korla and resisted the corpse, don't look at his thin and small body, carrying Korla's corpse of more than 100 kilograms is like carrying a chicken, effortlessly. From this point of view, this old man's combat effectiveness will probably be very amazing.

He smiled and said to the four of Shawko: "Young exorcists, you are young and vigorous, and you do whatever you want, but this freedom has a price. Since this price was paid to save my granddaughter, I cannot let you sacrifice in vain. ”

His throat squirmed slightly, and from his mouth spat out a ball, the surface of which was round and smooth, shimmering with a pale blue light.

He gently stroked the orb and smiled, "We Swamp Clan can manipulate the power of frost and water currents, this bead is transformed by the aura of water, and has the power of purification, which will help you." Thank you again, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can go to Venice, the water city, to find me. He handed the orb to Shoko, leaned over and picked up little Demi, nodded to the four again, and turned away.

The four of them watched old Thor disappear into the night, and they all sighed at the tragedy of the family. After Thor left, Shoko turned his gaze to the orb, and a message came from the soul mark:

"You have obtained the Water Elixir (carrying it with you can slightly increase the health recovery rate, slightly increase the resistance to water magic, in the water can slightly increase the swimming speed, and take it directly can purify the Fallen Demon. ）”

This thing doesn't seem to be of much use at the moment, so Xiao Ke threw it into the team space and said with a smile: "If anyone falls into the water in the future, remember to take it out." ”

The matter was over, and the four of them did not stop long, but returned to the small inn for a short rest, and continued their march to Rome early the next morning.

This time, they did not rest again, and after a day and a night of wild running, they finally reached their destination - St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.

The Vatican, translated as "Land of the Prophets" in Latin, is located on the Vatican Heights in the northwest corner of Rome, the capital of Italy.

Vatican City itself is a great cultural treasure, and its buildings are world-famous, such as St. Peter's Basilica, St. Peter's Basilica, and Sistine Chapel, which are among the most important buildings in the world, bringing together the brainchild of Botticelli, Bernini, Raphael, and Michelangelo.

And Chauco their goal is the world's most famous church - St. Peter's Basilica, which was originally built by Constantine the Great in 326~333 AD on the tomb of St. Peter, so it is called the old St. Peter's Basilica. It is built in Roman and Baroque styles and is the largest church in the world. World-famous masters such as Michelangelo and Raphael left the most important frescoes and sculptures of their lives here.

St. Peter's Basilica is a rectangular church, and the whole building presents a Latin cross structure, which is very traditional and sacred. The interior of the church is resplendent with gold, but it is also dimly lit and mysterious. The walls of the church are made of marble, and all the portraits inside are made of marble of different colors.

Although it is no longer possible for the trialists to become believers in God and Jesus, anyone who walks in such a miracle will unconsciously feel a sense of reverence for Christ, even if he was once in the burial heaven of the gods.

When the four of Chauce arrived at St. Peter's Basilica, the whole church was empty, and the four of them walked in the empty basilica that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, and the feeling of loneliness and emptiness came to their faces. At the end of the main hall, a man in a red robe was waiting quietly, his face was ordinary, his figure was ordinary, the fabric of the robe was also ordinary, everything was so ordinary.

However, his identity is so unusual, he is the direct head of the Knights of the Holy Order, second only to the cardinal archbishop of the Pope!

He looked at the four of them with a smile and said softly, "Welcome home, children." ”

The voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, and from this alone, it was clear that the cardinal archbishop was by no means an ordinary person.

The person in front of him, whether it is his identity or strength, has the qualifications to be respected. Therefore, the four of Shawco saluted him respectfully and said in unison: "Hello, Cardinal Archbishop. ”

The cardinal greeted them on the forehead and smiled: "Children, Ax has truthfully reported to the Holy See about the rescue of the crocodile children in the small town of Portofino. To tell you the truth, what you have done is very much to my heart, and from my personal point of view, I would say to you: 'Well done! ’”

Futian frowned and said, "From a personal point of view? You mean to tell us that, from the point of view of the Holy See, we are still doing something wrong, right? ”

The cardinal nodded: "Yes, you are smart. Every decision made by the Holy See is based on the Bible and canon, not on personal will. So I'm sorry to tell you that you're going to be punished, and that's really bad news. But don't be discouraged, and then there is good news, and that is that the punishment can be done according to my own wishes. My verdict against you is to reset the merit points to zero. ”

"Merit points? What is that? ”

The cardinal explained with a smile: "For each task you complete for the Holy See, you will receive corresponding merit points, which can be regarded as the currency used within the Holy See, and can be used to purchase various items sold internally by the Knights of the Holy Order. You've completed your previous quests and earned 10 merit points each, but sadly, they've been deducted. ”

Xiao Ke asked in surprise, "This is the punishment?" We got into such a big trouble and got through it so easily? ”

The cardinal smiled: "Don't underestimate the merits, they are very precious." Come with me, I'll take you to the base of the Order Regiment to have a look, and after seeing it, you will understand the value of meritorious points. ”
