Today's Merlin is like the simple, unworldly appearance of a few years ago.

The embarrassing stubble, gray hair and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seem to tell the pain and tribulation he has experienced for most of the past six months.

And the pitch-black robe on his body, as well as powerful magical energy fluctuations... Today's Merlin is already the pinnacle of a black robe!

Holding his staff and sitting in a corner of the council chamber, Merlin looked calm and introverted, except for the picture books and charcoal he carried with him.

Ophelia was still so beautiful and frozen compared to Merlin, and her hair was like a dancing stream of blue ice under the influence of frost magic.

And Art was the last person to walk into the chamber.

The high-ranking knight's gaze swept across the hall, and he had never seen anyone except Loren, who was sitting in the chair on the left, which he was familiar with.

His gaze finally fixed on the black-robed man with the mask, his eyes narrowed slightly, this is the legendary leader of the Black Cavalry.

Finding a chair to sit down, Art wondered why the Pope called out for himself to come here.

Look at the people sitting here.

The gray-clothed Sword Saint and his beautiful elves, the suspected leader of the Black Cavalry, the chief judge of the Inquisition, and the deputy leader of the Holy Knights, I am afraid that the two mysteries in the corner also have a great background, and there is no doubt that these people are all strong people.

Just as Art was guessing, Mien walked in through the door.

Whether it was Reut or Loren, when Minn walked into the chamber, everyone stood up from their chairs in respect.

"I've kept you waiting. ”

"Your Majesty. ”

"Your Majesty. ”

Standing in the center of the chamber, Mien smiled, "Don't be informal, sit down." ”

After saying this, Meen glanced back at Merlin, who was at least thirty years older, "Long time no see, Lord Merlin." ”

"Yes, long time no see, Pope. ”

On the way here, Domina told Minn that Mien thought she had made a mistake, and now it seems that Merlin is likely to have gone through something to become what she is now.

Nodding slightly to Merlin, Mien sat down on the throne and said, "God's Domain, you must know about the declaration of war by Nodratos on us, until now, the Holy Knight's Lord of the Holy Order, His Excellency Samier Medester, is still being taken hostage. ”

"The Divine Domain wants to rely on her, get a bargaining chip to negotiate with us, and even make us give up our faith and become a puppet, but the Holy Light will not stop advancing, and the glory cannot be desecrated, if things go to the worst, Her Excellency Samier Medeste sacrifices to strengthen her faith, and her soul will always be blessed by the Kingdom of God. ”

The few people present, except for Yat, knew that Samyeh, as the oldest existence at the beginning of the establishment of the Holy See, and had saved the life of the Pope, their relationship was by no means ordinary.

Now that His Holiness has said these things to them, does it mean that he is really going to give up His Excellency the Knight?

As Myan's voice fell, the chamber fell into a deathly silence.

Some sacrifices were inevitable for the sake of faith and glory, but out of personal feelings, whether it was Reut, Rod, or Lucia, they were somewhat difficult to accept about the decision to abandon the rescue of Samier.

Mien looked at the silent few people, his face expressionless, "Do you have anything to say?"

It took a long time for Reuth to speak slowly, his voice still hoarse and low.

"Your Majesty, the Light will be proud of her. ”

If Meen said this, Rhodes would definitely not speak out against it except that he was unwilling to give up in his heart, but when Reutt said this, it was like a powder keg lit, and the reckless knight stood up directly from his chair and said in an incredulous tone, "Your Excellency, Presiding Judge, if one day the Holy Light needs your sacrifice to maintain the glory, can you still say such a thing?"

"My presence is the glory of the Light, and I will not hesitate to die if it is necessary. ”

"You!"

Mien frowned slightly, "That's enough, Samiyah is in the outer lands, the hinterland of the enemy, we don't have any way to rescue us, this matter is settled." ”

Because of his anger, Rod's chest rose and fell violently, he took a deep breath of air, and sat down in his chair with some anger, lowering his head and eyes to avoid Meen's gaze.

He didn't understand why His Majesty's abandonment of Master Medester was as cold and ruthless as discarding a stone, and if it weren't for the Holy See, Rhodes even felt that the Knight Master had married him a few years ago!

Loren just glanced at Mean, without any expression on his face.

Lucia was about to speak several times, and when she saw Rhodes and Reut arguing, the presiding judge could only remain silent.

Now that the Pope's will is clear, there will be no room for manoeuvre in this matter.

As an outsider, in addition to doubts, the only thing that can be determined is that the kidnapped female chief knight must be a special existence in the Holy See, and looking at their appearance, it seems that they are inextricably linked to the Pope.

In the past, Art may not be able to understand this kind of easy abandonment of friends, but now as a person in power, Art can not only understand Mine's choice to take care of the entire Holy See, but more of a trace of pathos.

"Also, the mystic from the arcane secret realm should arrive in Bugas today, although the immortals have made promises, but it is difficult for me to be sure whether they are friends or foes, so you still have to cheer up, once the offensive and defensive relationship is determined, half a month later, we will start to open the door of the gods. ”

Merlin opened his mouth at this time and said, "Your Majesty, since they are from the Arcane Void, the probability of being hostile to us will be very small, and I am also here for this matter, the Arcane Void and the Divine Domain have always been hostile, at least until the Divine Domain is repelled, they will not have friction with us." ”

"Of course, I also learned about this after some things, the mystical ones in the Mystical Void were all exiled from the Overworld by Narug before, and I think they are at least better than the arrogant and rude Tinder Clan than the Divine Domain. ”

Knowing that the Mystical Void and Nodratos are both forces in the Outlands, how could Merlin know so clearly.

"Merlin, in the six months you've been missing, you seem to have had a bit more of an extraordinary experience. ”

Merlin sighed, "It's been a lot, but please believe my statement." ”

...

The meeting ended in a hurried gloomy atmosphere, and Loren was the last to get up and leave the chamber, pausing as he passed in front of Meen, his cold gaze fixed on Meen's expressionless face.

"It's not a choice you can make. ”

After that, he left with a confused Mei.

Only Mien sat upright in his chair, his expression gloomy as water, even though he knew that Samiyah had a chance to be reborn, but such an unkind choice still made it difficult for him to accept.

Whatever the reason, giving up on someone close to him, Mine's heart will not be as calm as he looks.
