If you want to choose a place as the center of the Castro continent, then that place must be the holy city of the Sacred Heart Kingdom.

The Holy City is the capital of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart, and at the same time this place is also the power hub of the Holy See, the Red Monastery, the Yellow Monastery, the Green Monastery, and the Blue Monastery are located in the four directions of the Holy City, southeast, northwest, and northwest, which is the place of faith that every believer yearns for.

If you want to follow the path of a believer and gain the power of faith, you need to go to a monastery to study, and when you are baptized, you can perceive the glory of the gods and become a believer.

At the very center of the four monasteries is the most magnificent building on the continent: the Central Cathedral, and no imperial kingdom can be more magnificent than it, and no place can be more beautiful than the holy splendor around which it surrounds.

The tall minarets break through the sky, several towers burn with eternal brilliance that will never be extinguished, there is no cold winter in this place, the four seasons are bathed in the warmth of spring, flowers are in full bloom, birds and beasts are singing, any murderous monster will bow its unyielding head in this place, and any evil villain here can't help but let tears of regret flow down his cheeks.

The beautiful nuns in white walked on the polished marble and dilapidated ground with their feet in hand, solemnly and lively, like elves.

In the courtyard in the middle of the cathedral, there is a white and magnificent giant tree, which is said to come from a branch of the "Source of Life" World Tree, and there is a pool under the big tree, which is the famous "Water Pool of Life", it is said that every drop of water in it is a holy thing blessed by the gods, and drinking a drop can cure all kinds of diseases.

It's just that at this time, a beautiful and lovely girl is bathing in the pool water, making a crisp call, there are some nuns' clothes on the stone platform next to the pool, some believers occasionally pass by, but the detained do not dare to look at it, and leave in a hurry.

The girls in the pool were also unconscious, as if they did nothing under the glory of the gods, and they did not need to be ashamed of anything, nor did they have any desires or thoughts.

On the west side of the courtyard is the main hall of the church, where the sculptures of the gods are enshrined, and only the pope at the peak of his power can stay in the main hall for a long time, and most of the time it is completely closed, and the "dead apostles" who have been brutally cultivated by the Holy See from birth will kill any outsiders who step into it without permission.

At this moment, at the railing of the high platform outside the main hall of the church, a tall white nun is looking at the girls playing in the water pool of life with a slightly cold face.

"This is a sacred place, and Ticks is so unseemly, too lewd... It's messy, it's not right, it's not right......" She muttered to herself, but she didn't know why her face was a little weirdly flushed, her breathing was a little short, and her eyes didn't take her eyes off the playful girls for a moment.

Footsteps suddenly came from behind her, "Damn it!" she blamed herself secretly, blaming herself for realizing that the voice came three meters behind her, she quickly turned around and fell to her knees respectfully, "Your Majesty, you have finally come out." ”

"Adayo, my most trusted sister nun, you have said it many times, you don't have to be so restrained in front of me, hurry up!" The Pope's voice was very young, her golden hair rippled in front of Ada's eyes, and a pair of slender but powerful hands gently supported Ada's body, "Ada, you are like my own sister......"

"His Majesty the Pope......"

"Huh?"

"Please take your hands off my chest!"

"Oops, I'm sorry, I swear to the gods I didn't mean to...... But Sister Ada, your breasts are softer than yesterday, and this must be a gift from the gods. His Majesty the Pope said with admiration.

His name was Polis—a name he had heard from Lesa and Eliza, and in their mouths, Persian was a very old man, but in fact, the blonde boy in front of him looked no more than eighteen years old, and had a face that seemed to be perfect and would eclipse all the other women.

He is indeed perfect.

It is recorded in the secret texts of the Holy See that at the moment of his birth, the glory of faith enveloped his body, accompanied by his infant cry, the dead trees bloomed, the green covered the house all around, the birds gathered, and the ferocious wolves knelt around and let out a terrible cry.

He was the embodiment of faith, a gift from the gods to the world, when the pope of the Holy See personally carried him back to the Central Cathedral, secretly raised him, he became a cardinal archbishop at the age of ten, and his natural wisdom allowed him to communicate with the gods almost face-to-face.

This young man, who was favored by the gods, secretly took over the position of pope at the age of thirteen and became the person who stood at the pinnacle of power in this world.

Polis, this name originally belonged to the previous pope, but the old pope had a selfless love for the boy, and preferred to let his existence not leave any dust in history, and at the time of his death, let the boy inherit his own name of polis.

Ida glanced at Polis's face with some reproach, straightened up her slightly messy white nun's dress, and asked, "Your Majesty, what lessons have you received?"

Just now, Polis suddenly sensed the call of the gods and hurried to the church to communicate with the gods.

"They seem to be in some distress because of a teenager. Polis shook his long, silky blonde hair and said in a tone that would make every believer envy the closeness between him and the gods, "So they told me to settle him." ”

"Boy?" Ida was a little surprised, on the continent of Castro, in addition to Polis in front of her, there was also that young man who deserved so much attention from the gods?She suddenly thought of someone, "That...... Leaf lobe. ”

"Yes, yes, this guy. Polis clapped his hands.

"Then I'll go. Ada said immediately, her voice suddenly cold, so cold that she couldn't help but shiver.

"No, no!" Polis hurriedly reached out to stop Ada, "the gods say that man is very powerful, we can't defeat him, Ada, my dear sister, I don't want you to take the risk, the gods have already told me what to do, we don't need to fight him directly." ”

"Your Majesty the Pope!" the voices of the girls overlapping suddenly came from below, and the girls who were playing in the pool of life suddenly stopped their movements and looked at the Pope and Ida on the high platform, who climbed up from the pool with the sound of rushing water, picked up their clothes and walked over while putting them on, "We are not those stupid guys. ”

There were seven girls in total, and her voices overlapped strangely, but as she spoke, the seven girls suddenly lost one and became six.

"We are the embodiment of faith. "Six became five.

"We are messengers of the gods. "Five became four.

"The will of the gods is our mission. "Four became three.

"Anyone who rebels against the gods is our enemy. "Three became two.

"The gods have mercy on our lives, but we shouldn't. ”

Two eventually became one.

Her body is still a little wet, her hair is still dripping with water, the white nun dress clings to her immature body, and her appearance is flawless, but if you look closely, the pupils of her eyes are green and black, and her hair is also black, white, and gold, and even her skin has a subtle sense of disobedience, as if there are several people fused together.

She knelt down in front of Polis, and said in a sincere, almost frantic voice, "Please let me kill that leaf." ”

"Oh Ticks, my dearest sister, you are right, we should not have mercy on our lives, go, I give you the mission to kill that young man called Leaf Fall, and I will be here waiting for your return. The Pope seemed to be moved by the girl's warm pillow, and said in an uplifting voice.

"Your Excellency, I will come back with the head of the leaf droop. The girl named Ticks smiled innocently shyly, her body flickering for a moment, and then suddenly vanished.

"Ticks, please go all the way, I will miss you in the future. Polis said softly, as if he was saying goodbye to a dying man, and even a tear was left in the corner of his eye, but the expression on his face was still flat, and there was no wave—there was a strange feeling of blackness hidden under the gentle exterior.

His gaze fell to Ada, who was beside him.

"Your Majesty, what do you command?" Ida asked immediately and respectfully.

"In the northern frontier of the Star Empire, there is a town called Stan Town, go and find that town. The Pope spoke.

"And then?"

"They have committed the sin of God, so they ......"

......

Seven days later.

A carriage was speeding through the Elven Meadows, accompanied by several armored swordsmen, carved with a uniform flower totem on their bodies, from a mercenary group, this time tasked with escorting a woman to the town of Stan.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the woman looked ahead, frowning.

The woman's husband, a trader, went to Stan Town every autumn to buy hides, and this journey had lasted for more than ten years, and each time he would return in no more than seven or eight days, but this time he had been delayed for half a month, and there was no news.

Not only her husband, but also the other traders who had gone to Stan Town had been left unheard from, and the day before yesterday she had found a hired swordsman to check on her, who had gone crazy when he came back last night and couldn't say a word.

Worried prompted the woman to decide to come here herself, spending more than half of her savings to hire a three-star mercenary group in the city, but a sense of foreboding kept flooding her mind along the way.

The carriage came to an abrupt stop.

The woman asked curiously, "What's the matter?" we hurry up, we have been on the road for four hours since we left the inn, and we are supposed to be almost at the town of Stan. ”

"Madame......" The head of the mercenary group, his voice sounded a little flustered.

"What's going on?" the woman climbed out of the carriage and looked around.

She noticed that they were now standing in a huge and otherwise extremely flat place, and the flat feeling was very strange, as if it had been cut alive with a sharp knife, the woman had been to Stan Town before, but she had never had a memory of such a place, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange, and then she noticed that the swordsmen who were guarding her were all showing extremely nervous expressions, and one of the swordsmen who used a tomahawk had even begun to tremble, holding his bull head tomahawk tightly.

This mercenary group is known for its bravery and fearlessness, how could it suddenly become like this?

"Here...... What the hell is it?" asked the woman hurriedly.

The regimental commander swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at the strange flat ground that spread under his feet and around him for an unknown number of miles, and continued, "This is the ...... The small town of Stan. ”
