Chapter 0272 Hmph! A hundred years later, today is your sacrifice day!
"Kiana... We've been deep in the forest for a long time. β
β......β
"Kiana?"
β...... Just follow me, you don't have to worry about the rest. β
Luo Xiaotian shrugged his shoulders and had no choice but to continue to follow behind Kiana. While being careful not to get caught up in the branches of the trees in front of you, you were aware that the ground beneath your feet was full of slippery plants and roots that arched like traps.
Not only that, Luo Xiaotian also saw the eyes peeping in from all directions, those creatures who didn't know whether they were ordinary animals or demonic beasts were cruising around, and the bright light reflected from their eyes reminded Luo Xiaotian that there was always an unknown danger around him.
Hawkers, but although the surroundings are gloomy, Luo Xiaotian doesn't have to worry about any demons and monsters... Oh, there are no demons and monsters in this world, so there are only ghosts, and the holy maiden of the Cult of Light is by his side, and any ghost is in vain.
"Here we are, here it is. β
Kiana stopped, Luo Xiaotian observed the surroundings, this is a small clearing, the clearing is overgrown with weeds, maybe because there is no canopy above the clearing, the weeds have grown to the height of Luo Xiaotian's knees;
In the middle of the clearing was a pile of stones, and at the top of the pile was a metal helmet that had almost shattered.
"This is the grave of my parents, and it's been a year and a half since I last came here. β
"Although it's a pity...... But why did you bring me here?"
Luo Xiaotian asked his own question, since this is the tomb of Qi Yana's parents, then it is right to come alone, it stands to reason that Luo Xiaotian should not appear here at all and disturb Qi Yana's memorial to his parents.
"My father is a knight, my mother is a priest, they met in an adventure, just like the love stories in those adventure novels, the priest belongs to the Holy See, the knight belongs to the nobility, two people who were originally in the hostile camp fell in love after a series of misunderstandings, in the face of love, no camp and no future can prevent the union of the two, so there is me. β
Kiana crouched down in front of her parents' graves, as if ready to tell Luo Xiaotian the story of her parents, even if Luo Xiaotian didn't really want to hear this doomed sad story.
"Before I was six years old, I was rarely able to see my parents, because it was difficult for a priest who married a knight to reassure their respective forces like a knight who married a priest, so my parents have been spending most of their time on going out on adventures, this vast world, there are all kinds of magical beasts, ruins, and merchants, which are the basis for the survival of adventurers. My father and mother were so busy making enough money to make a good living on their adventures, so they had to leave me at my grandmother's house for a month or two, and only when they had completed a satisfying task would they return to my grandmother's house, and only then could I see them, and at that very young age, they were all strangers, and at that time, I didn't know why my quiet life with my grandmother was broken by two strangers, until I was a little older, and I realized that they were my family, my parentsγ After I was six years old, I never got to see my parents again. β
Kiana stood up and picked up the rusty, broken helmet from the top of the pile and rubbed it in her hand, as if feeling the temperature coming from the helmet.
"According to the adventurer who was with my parents, my parents met a powerful magician during the expedition, and after resisting to no avail, they died with the belief that they would die together. β
Hearing Qi Yana's words, Luo Xiaotian couldn't help but hold his breath and looked into Qi Yana's eyes.
"What are you worried about? I didn't bring you here to avenge my parents' grave by killing you as a magician, I'm not that naΓ―ve. β
Kiana tossed the broken helmet back onto the pile of stones, then patted the dust on her hands that didn't exist.
"I have always believed that my parents are not dead, that there are no powerful or evil magicians, that there is nothing under this stone pile, and that the eyewitnesses of the time, when I became the Holy Maiden of the Cult of the Illuminati, I re-questioned them, and with the witness of the Illuminati, I can be sure that they are lying. However, before I could make any further moves, these people disappeared from the world, and I never heard from them again, nor did I know if they were dead or alive. β
Turning around, Kiana faced Luo Xiaotian again.
"So, I need the power of the magic conch, only the all-knowing magic conch can answer my doubts, where are my parents, who exactly planned all this, what their purpose is, I want to know!"
"Why don't you ask the Pope for help? if it's the Pope, he can mobilize the power of the entire Cult of the Illuminati, and he should be able to find out the answer easily. β
"Perhaps the Cult of the Illuminati is also one of the masterminds behind it, so I can't raise this issue with His Holiness the Pope, it's not that they don't have a motive to do so. β
Luo Xiaotian frowned, the person in front of him was the Holy Maiden of the Sect of Light, but she bluntly said to herself that she did not trust the Sect of Light.
"Ronald, maybe you have a misunderstanding of the Cult of the Illuminati, at the beginning, when the first pope took over the scepter from the god of light, the saint was also born at the same time, the pope and the saint are the only two people in the Cult of the Illuminati who can listen to the voice of the god of light, so before leaving office, each pope and the saint will find someone who can continue his inheritance from the cardinals and priests who believe in the faith, in fact, the papal system led by the pope and the inheritance system of the holy woman are two completely different things, the Holy See has established churches in various countries and cities, and infiltrated the top of the country, all in order to enhance the power of the Holy See in this world, laying the foundation for the development of the Cult of the Illuminati. The Holy Maiden is a symbol, more of an observer, the Holy Maiden has no right, but she can tell the God of Light everything she sees and hears, the Holy Maiden imposes shackles on the faith, so that the Holy Maiden belongs to both the Holy See and does not belong to the Holy See, the Holy Maiden is the eyes and ears of the God of Light, once the function as eyes and ears fails, then the Holy Maiden's duties will be lost instantly. β
"That's... What do the saints in the cathedral do?"
Luo Xiaotian still remembers that Olivia Nicol once became a saint in the church of Leander.
"Hmph! They are just tools for the Holy See to sing and develop with the bishop!"
