Chapter 157: Burdened

The new puppet centipede is very different from the bald boy, who is a puppet for melee and medium-range combat, while the centipede is a puppet for long-range combat. The bald boy also has a trap in his belly, but he can only fire a maximum of three short arrows at a time, and his power is limited, compared to centipedes, which are much stronger.

The entire abdominal cavity of the centipede is hollow, and the three abdominal cavities are connected together to hold 13,000 silver needles, and Roger's built-in mechanism can fire more than 4,000 silver needles each time, and if you add the spare silver needle centipede, you can launch four attacks in a row, such a dense offensive Roger is confident that even a great sword master will be unable to direct it.

"Click",

The tongue installed in the centipede's mouth can make strange sounds, and the dull slapping sound of bamboo and wood sounds very rhythmic, and when the tongue is pressed up against the roof of the mouth, the centipede's mouth can be fully opened, and then the silver needle can be pulled back into a storm of shots.

"Master Roger, ah",

Roger was adjusting the mouth of the centipede, Lolita pushed the door in, and she saw the colorful and terrifying centipede at a glance, and exclaimed in fright.

It was the first time she had seen Roger's puppet.

"Lolita, did it scare you?", Roger pulled the silver thread, the centipede retracted behind his back, he re-separated the centipede and put it in the black box and smiled: "Come in, it's the first time you've seen a real puppeteer",

The room was dimly lit, and Roger opened the curtains.

Lolita closed the door with her backhand and said, "Master Roger, is that the puppet you said?"

Roger nodded, "That's my third puppet", he looked at Lolita's round face and smiled, "The first puppet I made at the beginning, no." Not a puppet. The first puppet I made was you. Lolita",

"Me?",

"Well, you are twelve years old, and I was just learning how to design, sculpt, and make joints. You are the most special to me in the whole of Corloga, and I want to remember all of you as you are. Making puppets is a great way to commemorate things, and in a sense that's one of the reasons why I became a puppeteer."

"I want to remember you forever",

"At that time, I didn't know what kind of profession a puppeteer was, I thought that designing, making, and controlling a puppet was a puppeteer, and that was a puppeteer, not like a swordsman who was stupid with a sword on his back, and not like a knight who charged into battle. The puppeteer is best for me, from the design. From production to manipulation, every step is the art of perfection",

"But then I learned about the 'Death Town' incident two hundred years ago, the anatomy in the learning process, the ban of the Holy See, and the Templar Order's pursuit of puppeteers for more than two hundred years, and I still didn't pay attention to it, I thought how could those stupid and stupid knights kill me?

He didn't speak anymore, but his gaze at Lolita looked a little heavy.

Lolita walked up and gently held his hand, she could feel Roger smiling these days, Roger never showed a heavy burden when he was with her, but today he didn't seem to be able to hold it anymore, and his mood could no longer be hidden.

Roger looked at her, this girl was the only person in the world who could keep him defenseless.

"Master Roger", she clumsily hugged him and called his name.

Feeling the softness and warmth in his arms, smelling the faint fragrance on the tip of his nose, Roger smiled: "Now I know that there are many geniuses in the world besides me, and no profession can be called the strongest, no one dares to claim that they can't be killed, but as long as you are there, Lolita, no matter how far I go, I will rush back",

"Master Roger, Lolita will wait for you", Lolita's eyes were slightly red, her hands hugged him tightly, and her head was buried in his arms

A quarter of an hour later, Roger walked out of the city gate with the black box on his back, and Leo was already waiting for him at the gate, the wind blowing and raising dust.

Roger took the box in Leo's hand and put it behind him, took a final look at Canding behind him, and said with a smile: "Let's go, Uncle Leo",

"Well",

Leaving the city alone, within ten miles Roger walked step by step to the forbidden area of life, and after ten miles, there was no more Roger between heaven and earth, replaced by Satan.

Yes, Satan, it is not Roger, the mechanic, who can fight against death, but Satan the puppeteer.

"I wrote to the headmaster two days ago, the headmaster wanted me to be the archbishop, he and Saffield have been friends for many years, I think maybe he knew why the prophet gave the order to go out to the church, the headmaster wrote back to tell me that the best solution to this order is to disobey the order, even the prophet has mistakes, the headmaster said that the worst result of disobeying the order is to be removed from the position of archbishop, if that is the case, Srock and crape myrtle will still take me in",

"The prophet Fatima is the most skilled soothsayer on the continent, he can use the crystal ball to divinate everything that happens in a month, which is why she became a prophet, but the soothsayer only knows, and it is a sad thing to know the result and not change the outcome. Tsukiki Hanama appeared in the Holy See, and Liana knew my identity, the steel wire I used in the Sankui League, and these would reveal my identity",

"Now I understand why the Headmaster, who has always only given me guidance, put me in the position of Archbishop without asking my opinion beforehand, and if he didn't, I'm afraid I'd be hunted down by the Templars. However, even so, the Holy See would not let me go, even if I was in peace as my archbishop, even if I had slept at night and served the city of Candination diligently, they would not let me go",

"In this case, I will let 'Roger' die in the forbidden area of life, and from now on people will only remember Archbishop Roger, who once blocked the funeral religion and brought the gospel to the city of Candin",

"There will never be a puppeteer in Atlantis again",

He figured it out, everything was figured out, the principal's arrangement, Leyana's arrival, the prophet's order, he had been in a heavy mood these days, he was no longer the Roger who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, he was afraid, afraid that his identity would be exposed, afraid that one day the Knights Templar would enter the island of Coloka, afraid that the Crape Myrtle Academy would be damaged by himself, afraid that the headmaster's painstaking arrangements would be in vain, and afraid that the city of Candin would be implicated because of this

"Young Master", the sluggish Leo also felt his heavy burden, he had thought that this genius boy of the Olis family would never be stumped.

Roger smiled faintly: "Only a naïve person would think of a person against the Holy See, against the whole world",

The wind and sand gradually rose, raising the corners of their clothes and hair, and a deserted small village gradually appeared in front of them, and high wooden stakes were erected abruptly at the entrance of the village.

It was the Burial Cult's forbidden area, and it had been a long time since the Knights Templar had conquered it. (To be continued......)
