Chapter 3: The Fallen Man

Twenty-four years ago

"God said, 'Do not let the woman who practice sorcery live'" In the center of the central square, a huge wooden cross was erected, and a black-haired woman was tied to it with thorns, and blood continued to flow from her, but her expression was very calm, even though people kept pouring this palm oil on the pyre under her feet, and the confessor brought the bishop's sentence, and he stood on a high platform with a serious expression: "Thou hast committed heretical beliefs, idolatry, summoning demons, etc., for which thou hast been expelled from the Church and burned at the stake. The executioner, who covered her face with a black cloth, threw a burning torch into the fire, and the flames rose more than a man high, and through the heated air, the woman's face was blurred and twisted into all sorts of interesting shapes, "Burn her, burn her!" There were cheers and shouts from the crowd.

"Stop!" Monks and knights dressed in black surrounded from all sides, and another group of knights in silver armor tore a hole in the crowd, and the knights formed a passage, and a man in a robe walked in, "I have brought the order of His Royal Highness Speaker Delmont to bring the witch back to the Inquisition, and those who pretend to be priests to deceive others will be sentenced to drowning, and those who incite the citizens to make trouble, the water prison will reflect on it, and the others will be shown to the public for ten hours!" The knights took the false priests and the instigators to be executed, while the other participants were taken away by the guards, and the blackfriars extinguished their torches, raised their crosses, and headed for the Inquisition.

In the midst of the collapsed ruins, a man rushed out of it riding a huge bird, and when it flew out of the ruins, passed through what was once a city, landed in a forest, and turned the person sitting on its back on the ground into a five-pointed star, and when the figure took off his hood, a magic ripple spread, "It's okay, Shan Calabi, go and rest." The five-pointed star circled in mid-air as a salute, and after a cloud of sulphur-smelling smoke, the five-pointed star vanished. "But Tarin, tell me Del Mont is there" There was another cloud of smoke, and Del Mont, holding a book in his hand, appeared in front of the man, and half knelt down, "My master, you are looking for, someone with the same face as me at this time, waiting for you in his mansion. "The next time I summon you, you come to me with this face, and I can give you a taste of the Curse of Misery. "As you wish, master. The figure looked at the black and red medallion in his hand and clenched his hand, "Ciel, take me over." "Yes, my master. A handsome man appeared behind her, picked her up and placed her on a winged flying horse beside her, rode it himself, and then they vanished.

"That's it, that's it, that's right, it's like this, look at how beautiful, my treasure!" a man in overalls muttered to himself, and then looked at his hands, several humanoid parts were being combined and polished, his movements were gentle as if he were treating his own child, and his face was flushed with excitement.

"Sorry, excuse me, is there a puppeteer named Lloyd here??" Suddenly, a voice interrupted his work, "I'm just, what's the matter?" "I'm sorry to bother me, I'm here to deliver the letter on behalf of my master, please make sure that the envelope of the letter you received is complete, if so, can you please sign it on me?" Lloyd turned his head and didn't see anyone, but a small bat that fell from the roof beam caught his attention. "That's right, it's me, have you noticed, it's weird, but I'm a talking bat, you can call me Kim" and a little talkative, Lloyd added in his mind, "So, what about the letter?" "Oh, let me find it." So saying, Kim used his pitiful short claws to dig through a small pocket beside him, "Ah! here it is!" As he spoke, he took out an envelope that was huge for him from his small pocket, and it was hard to imagine how such a huge envelope could fit in such a small pocket. Lloyd checked that the envelope was in good condition, and then signed his name on King's wings. Kim made a gesture of saluting to Lloyd and flew out, Lloyd carried the envelope with his hand, feeling that there was nothing but a piece of paper, so he opened the envelope, "Who would send me a letter and send a bat to deliver it?" "Lord Lloyd: I am very surprised by your life-like doll-making skills, it is hard to imagine that someone would make a doll so lifelike, but do you want your doll to be exactly like a real person?" Or in other words, do you want to turn people into your puppets? If you want to, just put your hands on the two paintings below, and it will be you that you will get unimaginable power, but at the same time, it will come to you at a cost, I will give you power, and you will come to help me when I need you, of course, not very often compared to the long life you are about to get. Are you ready, choose, your friend Del Monte," and below the text of the letter were two drawings, a seven-stringed harp, and a ring. Lloyd thought about it for a long time and finally made his choice......

"Mr. Lloyd, the master needs your help, please go to the master's mansion immediately. ”

When Lloyd returned to his lodgings at the end of the day, he found such a line on the door, and when he finished reading, a flame burned the traces of the writing, but strangely did not affect the wooden door at all.

"That ice also needs help from someone else, which is really rare, and I thought he could handle anything on his own, well, including the end of the world. Well, the vacation time is over, and it's time for me to meet him. Lloyd pulled off the ring that was hanging from his neck with a rope, spread his wings behind his back, and flew off into the distance
