Mount Moriah, behind the Holy Capital.

On the black mountain wall, a stone gate slowly opened, and a carriage entered at a rapid pace, until it came to a halt in the depths.

As soon as Qin Shaofu got out of the car, a soldier wearing black masked armor stepped forward: "The master is waiting inside, please come with me." ”

Lord is the name given to Hadros within the Dark Arbitration.

Qin Shaofu nodded and walked forward behind the soldier.

This is part of the backyard of the Holy Capital, which belongs to the place where the Dark Arbitration Office works, more than a hundred stories high, with a hollow middle, and when you look up, you have the feeling of seeing the depths of the universe.

Hadros, who is the most patriarch, naturally lives at the top.

It was the first time Qin Shaofu had come in through this door, and he thought he was going to walk up, but he didn't expect that the soldier would lead him to an iron cage.

I opened the door, walked in, and after pressing a button, the iron cage flew upwards at a very fast speed.

"It's ......"

Qin Shaofu had never seen this thing, and he was naturally shocked.

"Don't be surprised, it's a flying ladder!" the soldier explained, "It was made by the people of the Wizard Courtyard." ”

"Wizard Courtyard?"

Qin Shaofu frowned, he had heard of this name, and Assad's head seemed to be sent here for identification.

The soldier explained: "The Magic Guide Courtyard is a place dedicated to the study of ancient magic weapons, although it is not as magical as magic, but it is also very special. ”

It seems to be as magical as magic...... Qin Shaofu secretly said in his heart, but in a moment, he had already reached the highest level.

Out of the ladder, the soldier led him to a wooden door as black as ink: "The master is inside, you can go in!"

Qin Shaofu pushed the door and entered, it was a study, quite large, and Hadros was sitting at the desk.

Close the door, walk straight to your desk, and stand still.

"Wait a minute, I'll take care of something, right away!"

Hadros didn't raise his head, and looked at the documents in front of him: "Also, look at it, don't say it." ”

Qin Shaofu looked at those documents with his spare eyes, and when he heard this, he hurriedly took them back. At a quick glance, he saw Alex's name, and the Duchy of the Rhine or something.

"It's okay to take a look, I'll let you know sooner or later!"

Hadros signed his name one by one on the document, put it aside, looked up at Qin Shaofu and said, "Is it strange that Alex has become Michael's carrier?"

Qin Shaofu nodded and did not speak.

"Actually, I think it's strange too!" said Hadros, "and many people think that the angelic Holy Spirit was chosen by His Holiness the Pope, but this is not the case. It is God's arrangement, and no one can interfere, not even the Pope...... He wasn't a god after all. “

"In front of the great god of light, we are like ants, if it were you, would you consider the opinions of ants?"

Qin Shaofu thought about it and shook his head.

"Although Alex is a good child, it is a problem for us to make him the carrier of the main angel Michael at this time. ”

Hadros said, "In the past, the God of Light gave two artifacts, of course...... It's just that it's an artifact for the ants of our plane, and for them, it's nothing. ”

"One is the Staff of the Holy Spirit, and the other is the Sword of the Holy Spirit...... It's not the Holy Spirit Sword that Michael used, it's just an imitation. But the imitation from the hand of God is not comparable to ordinary divine soldiers. ”

"Really?"

Qin Shaofu smiled, the sword with the same name as the Holy Spirit Staff must be unparalleled in time, but it can make Hadros say that it seems to be a fake and shoddy product.

"You don't want to hand over such a divine soldier to someone from the royal family, do you?"

"No!" Hadros shook his head, "As the carrier of the main angel Michael, Alex should naturally be equipped with the Holy Spirit Sword. And His Majesty the Pope is definitely wiser than you think, he has no interest in infighting with the royal family, his opponents in his heart are the Saracens, and the demons who don't know when they will appear in the future. ”

"The problem is that the Sword of the Holy Spirit is not in the hands of the Pope, but in the possession of Grand Duke Henry of the Duchy of the Rhine. ”

Seeing that Qin Shaofu was about to speak again, Hadros waved his hand: "I know you want to say that as long as the Pope's crown is next, you should be able to get it back...... It's not that simple. ”

"The Holy Empire was never completely divided, but it was never truly unified either. More than a thousand years ago, the old royal family suffered a catastrophe, and the imperial palace was almost razed to the ground. There was an uproar in all directions, and the division of the country was just around the corner. The situation is critical, and the Holy See must support the new king to ascend the throne. ”

"At that time, there were two great nobles who were side branches of the royal family, which were the most suitable. One is the current royal family, and the other is Henry of the Duchy of the Rhine. The Pope also had a difficult choice, so he summoned the two Grand Dukes and replied in person. ”

"In terms of strength, the Henry family is superior. The Pope drew the Sword of the Holy Spirit and placed it in front of him along with its scabbard, which he chose first. If it were you, what would you choose?"

Sword and scabbard...... Although Qin Shaofu probably already knew the answer, he still followed what he thought in his heart and said, "I choose the sword!"

Hadros nodded: "The Holy Spirit Sword is an artifact, and although the scabbard is luxurious, it is only made by mortals after all. In that case, it is estimated that no one will choose a scabbard. ”

"According to the Pope's interpretation, the sword represents conquest and killing, and the scabbard represents cultivation and protection. At that time, the war was just over, and what the empire needed was rest and recuperation, not killing and fighting, so he couldn't choose Henry. ”

And so, a beautiful legend was left behind. On that day, Henry left the throne and took the god-given sword with him!"

"Did the Pope at that time really let him take the sword away?"

Qin Shaofu was surprised, in his opinion, it should just be a choice as a metaphor.

"That pope was too kind. Hadros shook his head and said: "The ancestral motto of the Henry family: everything can be replaced, and the strong is king." ”

"The people of this family have always acted decisively and radically, believing that all interests must be fought for by strength. With the throne in front, it is impossible to let go so easily. If you don't give some price, you will inevitably start a civil war, which is what the popes of that generation don't want to see, so they gave him the Holy Spirit Sword as the price of giving up the throne. ”

"For so many years, the royal family was only a nominal royal family, and the three principalities were only nominally subordinate and not completely subordinate. Especially the Henry family, these generations were not satisfied with only owning the Holy Spirit Sword and began to covet the throne. If it weren't for the Holy See, I'm afraid that the army would have been raised long ago. “

"How could it be so easy to ask them now to get back the Sword of the Holy Spirit. But Alex became Michael's carrier, and whether it was needed by the royal family or the Holy See, the sword had to be taken back...... Did you think we had a problem?"

Qin Shaofu smiled: "I think the pope just didn't want to give them the throne back then, and the reason is that this kind of thing can be made up casually." ”

"Not bad!" Hadros nodded in approval, "I went out for a trip, and it seems that my mind is much more relaxed." ”

Went out for a trip...... After thinking about it, Qin Shaofu remembered his intentions, and his smile suddenly disappeared and turned serious.

"Tell me, why...... You're going to let me go on such a mission!"
