336. Blood bath
An edict from the Ice Empress forced all the guards and maids to brave the tyrannical wind and snow to drive down the mountain overnight.
"The power left in my body by the Bright Sect Cult has been eroding my body all the time over the past few decades, and I have to divide most of my strength to suppress this power... After all, it's because of you, if you hadn't jumped in front of me like a flea, you wouldn't have let my master see me as ugly.."
Sophia glared at Cinderella angrily as she led Carlo down the winding path through the Black Ice Palace.
Cinderella was so angry that she almost jumped up, "Is this to blame me? What crazy woman looks like she wants to kill me with all her might when she meets."
"You've always been good at running for your life. ”
Not to be outdone, Sophia retorted.
Carlo smiled and didn't interject, but grabbed Sophia's white and smooth arm, rubbed it carefully, and said casually: "How much do you know about the Bright Holy See?"
Sophia furrowed her beautiful eyebrows, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "At first, I thought it was just a bug that wasn't crushed, and I didn't take it to heart... But when their power grows bigger and bigger, and I want to stop it, it's too late... The new pope of the Holy See of Light, his growth in strength makes me feel terrible.."
"Cinderella has told me this."
Carlo said lightly: "He's just regaining his original strength.."
When he saw the feather hidden in Sophia's body, Carlo had already confirmed the guess in his heart, this mysterious Pope of Light was the four-winged angel who scared him away in the first place, although he didn't know how this guy escaped the rules of the plane and descended...
The advent of the plane is not a simple matter, except for some planes with special rules, the vast majority of planes are extremely repulsive to exist whose strength exceeds their own carrying range, unless that existence is so strong that the will of the plane trembles.
Of course, Carlo is an exception, he has a system.
Sophia was stunned for a moment, as if she was pondering the meaning of Carlo's words, but quickly continued: "His power has been growing in my body, and if it weren't for some special means, I'm afraid I would have become an old and ugly old woman ten years ago."
"It's still the master you gave me.."
Sophia suddenly smiled and winked at Carlo.
Carlo frowned slightly, "Me?"
"Follow me. ”
Sophia didn't explain, but walked down quickly with a mysterious face, and blue flames lit up on both sides of the dark passageway, illuminating everything in the darkness.
Sophia seemed to have hollowed out the whole mountain, and after walking down for a long time, it finally became flat and open in front of her.
It was a large, empty room, and in the middle of the room lay a lonely bathtub, also carved out of black ice crystals, filled with a thick black and red liquid, which was blood.
Carlo noticed that there were more than a dozen iron pillars around the room, and on each of them was a person, male or female, tied to it.
These men and women were covered with red fruits, and there was not a single intact part of their bodies, and they were covered with blood-red mouths of different sizes, like the small open mouths of babies, and blood flowed from their wounds little by little, and at the feet in front of each of them, a blood trough was built to hold the blood.
Carlo's right arm was burning hot, and even without this reminder, he recognized the identity of these people in the first place.
Each of them is a child of divine grace.
"Sophia, you shameless slut, you told me that you were helping your master collect seeds, but in the final analysis, it was to satisfy your own selfish and ugly heart."
Before Carlo could speak, Cinderella shouted first.
Although she is the Pope of the Dark Cult, in fact, the power of the Dark Cult has always been under Sophia's control, and as Cinderella herself said, she is only interested in beautiful dresses and beautiful jewelry.
Sophia sneered, glanced at Cinderella, and then continued to say to Carlo: "At first, I was really just for the master, but later I found out that these people all contain strange powers in their bodies... Bathing in their blood can keep my appearance and keep me from aging.."
"I like the seeds of the Church of Life the most, their blood also carries the fragrance of flowers and plants, and every time I take a bath, I feel that the whole person is several years younger.."
Sophia spoke of it all in an admiring tone, with a look of joy and joy, no different from sitting on the grass praising a sunny girl.
“.. Since the master left, these seeds have suddenly increased a lot, and there is even a kingdom queen who gave birth to three princesses in a row. But later, the seeds learned to hide, and instead of being born into the royal family and nobility, they chose lowly commoners.."
Sophia chuckled: "I should really thank them, if it weren't for them, maybe I wouldn't have dared to meet my master now... But these guys are getting harder and harder to catch, and I used to be able to enjoy a blood bath once a week, but now it takes two months to save up enough blood for a blood bath..."
Carlo walked over to an unconscious son of charisma, his gaze swept over his scars, the creature was covered in blood and was in a near-death state.
Carlo looked at Sophia and asked, "What kind of powers do they use?"
Sophia frowned and pondered, "There are many, some can control the wind, some can control the flames, and some can release water magic... They claim to come from different temples and believe in different gods... But most of them are very weak, and the most powerful is the Church of Life, which is friendly to plants, has the ability to heal, and will turn into a giant brown bear and wild boar."
Carlo nodded faintly and said, "I have important things to do when I come back this time, and the empire and church you established have saved me a lot of effort, and I have done a good job. When I find Talia, I will personally clear the Holy See of Light and all the heretic churches."
"Yes. ”
Sophia nodded respectfully, then pressed her beautiful body to Carlo's body, and said with a low smile: "Master, I still have a gift for you, you come with me."
"Gifts?!"
Carlo frowned, Sophia had already walked quickly to the corner of the room, and gently pressed her palm that emitted a deep blue light somewhere, and then, the innermost stone wall of the room made a "boom" sound, slowly rising, revealing another vast space behind it.
The moment the stone wall was raised, an aura of evil, distortion, chaos, resentment, and tyranny poured out like a tidal wave, and the light in the entire room instantly dimmed and became extremely cold.
A dark abyss appeared in front of Carlo.
