If Luo Xiaotian's memory is not wrong, Cardinal Fred was one of the cardinals who greeted the Pope and his party in this city. Later, I saw him appear in the most central area of the building site several times, so I'm afraid Cardinal Fred was in charge of the construction of the capital of God and things like that.

Luo Xiaotian thought that Alex would come back to find him after reporting to Cardinal Fred, but Alex didn't come back all afternoon, and at dinner, the elf girl was still eating very attentively, and after asking Aunt Ellie, Luo Xiaotian learned that Alex didn't go to Aunt Ellie.

It's better to say that even Alex himself is gone.

He didn't come to eat, he wasn't in his room, he seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

......

In the middle of the night, a quick knock on the door woke Luo Xiaotian from his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, the bright moonlight was shining in from the window, exuding a cold smell.

"Ronald, are you there?!Wake up!"

Rubbing his eyes, Luo Xiaotian opened the door, it was Alex.

"Alex, where did you go?"

"Leave this alone!

"Get out of here?where are you going?!"

"Just come with me!"

Alex reached out and grabbed Luo Xiaotian's arm, and dragged him out without saying a word, Luo Xiaotian only had time to pick up the priest's uniform hanging at the door.

"Wait, is it because there's some danger later? Then I'll have to call Aunt Ellie and Shirley!"

"Don't worry about them! They'll be taken away! Rather, they were there when I came, and you're the only one who was left out!"

What do you mean? I missed it?

Although Luo Xiaotian tried to struggle for a while, Alex's strength at this moment was amazing, could it be that Alex was a knight before he became a priest?

After coming out of the confines of the residence, Luo Xiaotian could still hear the sound coming from the other side of the square, and it seemed that the construction was still going on.

"Alex? There's someone over there, right? What are they going to do?"

“......”

"Alex?!"

Alex only cared about pulling Luo Xiaotian in the direction of the old city, and did not respond to Luo Xiaotian's question at all.

Luo Xiaotian was silent for a while, giving up his intention to continue asking. After passing through several vertical and horizontal lanes, Luo Xiaotian followed Alex to the ruins where he had picked up the elf girl before, and penetrated into the forest on the side of the ruins, Luo Xiaotian saw a team of heavily armed holy knights.

"Reverend Alex, this is the last man, right?"

“...... That's right. ”

"Then let's go, it's almost time. ”

These people were obviously not the Holy Knights of the Central Cathedral, and after saying these words, the knights who had never seen them at the front led the knights behind them to turn around and leave, and then left a horse for Luo Xiaotian and Alex.

“... Do you want to sit in the front or in the back, Ronald?"

Why does this sound familiar? Anyway, let's sit in the back.

......

Riding horses and following behind those holy knights, Alex and Luo Xiaotian advanced at a speed that was not very fast, and I don't know how long it took, the two teams of centaurs in front of one after the other finally arrived at their destination.

It seems to be the remains of an abandoned city, far away from the former capital of the kingdom of God, but perhaps because of the middle of the night, the only light that can be seen is the magnificent building that is getting taller and taller in the middle.

"Ahh Little Ronald! Great, you're finally here!"

A cong immediately jumped down, and Luo Xiaotian heard Aunt Ellie's familiar voice, and next to her were Shirley and the elf girl.

"Suddenly a knight came to me at night and told us to follow them, I wanted to inform little Ronald of you, but those knights wouldn't let me, and I couldn't do anything... But it's nice to see you're okay!"

"Aunt Ellie... Do you know what's going on, why did you bring us here?"

“... I don't know, the Holy Knights won't say, and I've asked other people I know, and they don't seem to know at all. ”

So, if Aunt Ellie doesn't know, maybe Alex will?

"Don't look at me... I don't know. ”

Alex saw Luo Xiaotian's gaze and twisted his head very unnaturally, Alex really knew something, but he didn't seem to want to say it.

"Little Ronald, do you want to come with us? There's a big space down here, and there are a lot of people in it, all of whom were brought by those holy knights, although I don't know many of them......"

Luo Xiaotian looked at the elf girl who was holding something next to Aunt Ellie, and shook her head.

"I want to stay here a little longer. ”

"Okay little Ronald, it's the first time I've encountered something like this... But I guess I'll be fine soon, right?"

Aunt Elle said something more self-soothing and then turned into darkness, after which it should have been Aunt Elle's earlier words, the passage to the underground.

Since Alex said the phrase "time is running out" before, that is to say, even if something is going to happen, then the time of the occurrence is definitely close at hand, Luo Xiaotian really wants to see what will happen after this? Could it be that someone wants to attack the city in front of him? However, Aunt Elle seems to have been staying in the Central Cathedral, and even this kind of long journey is the first time, so she is a little worried and panicked.

Luo Xiaotian found a stone of the right size and sat on it, and there were two heavily armed holy knights standing not far away, and he didn't know if he was specially here to monitor him.

After a while, Luo Xiaotian felt the breath behind him, turned his head and saw that it was the elf girl who had left with Aunt Ellie before, she sat down quietly beside Luo Xiaotian, and then also stared at the half-old and half-new city in the distance.

After a while, it seemed that a person appeared above the city, even with Luo Xiaotian's eyes, he could only see that the other party was probably wearing a black robe, and then, the other party raised his hand and waved it down.

Hmm? What is he doing?

The color of the sky seemed to change, and Luo Xiaotian raised his head and saw a huge meteorite falling from the sky.

...... This is...... Meteorites from the sky?!

The magic meteorite of the Nine Rings has the ability to destroy a city...... I see, that's it......

The huge meteorite rubbed against the air, burned violently, and seemed to fall slowly and quickly on the edge of the old town......

Wait!Are you smashing crooked?!

Luo Xiaotian stood up, because the landing point of the meteorite seemed to be exactly the place where Luo Xiaotian picked up the elf girl...... Yes......
