Xia Yanzhen took off the black cloth and looked over.

In the room were him, Pope Rodrigo, Lancelot, the head of the Blood-Armored Knights, and Damon's family of three, a total of six.

He heard seven different heartbeats.

So......

"There's a crow hiding here?" Xia Yanzhen looked around and asked.

The sound of his heartbeat was faint, mixed with the heartbeats of others, and he couldn't tell the location for a while.

There are no extra furniture decorations in the room, so you can basically see it at a glance.

Logically speaking, crows can't hide, but maybe they have the ability to escape into the shadows?

"What?" Lancelot looked at Xia Yanzhen.

"There's a seventh person in the room?" Xia Yanzhen asked again.

Lancelot's face was slightly awe-inspiring, and he pressed one hand on the saber at his waist: "Where?" ”

"Isn't it your people who are secretly protecting?"

"I'm the only one." Lancelot's eyes were like lightning, and he looked around the room, "I didn't notice anyone there." ”

"Listen carefully." Xia Yanzhen said, "It's a heartbeat." ”

Lancelot frowned, listening carefully, he valued any clues.

There is no "you noticed something I didn't notice, I think you made a fuss and didn't believe it, and you taunted and clashed" at all.

"I didn't hear ......anything," said Lancelot, shaking his head after a moment.

"Let me hear it again, maybe a rat or something."

Xia Yanzhen closed his eyes again and focused his attention entirely on his hearing.

I want to tell where the seventh heartbeat is coming from.

Seeing Xia Yan's really focused appearance, Lancelot directly held his breath.

The room was completely silent.

Xia Yanzhen slowly stood up, took two steps forward, then stopped, and took two more steps forward.

Coming to the cross with the witch Mary crucified in the middle, he opened his eyes and looked at the woman on the cross.

The pale complexion, the skin contrasts with the red hair and lips.

There was no blood from the wound where the large black nail was nailed.

"What is this doing?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"I don't know......," Lancelot shook his head, he really didn't know what he was doing, he could only be sure that it was a blood transfusion.

"If I'm not mistaken—" Xia Yanzhen leaned closer to Mary's flat belly, "the voice came from here. ”

"What?"

Lancelot was a little confused.

"She's pregnant, and the heartbeat I hear is coming from the fetus in the body." Xia Yanzhen affirmed.

"Impossible!"

Lancelot flatly denied it.

The witch Mary was captured by him and brought back to the church.

He has been held in this room for all these years, and has entered a special state of suspended animation.

How is it possible to get pregnant!

At the beginning, Mary was not pregnant.

Could it be that someone did something to her after she was caught?

Wrong.

The only person who could enter this room was him, the chief knight, and the eight cardinals and the Pope.

It's not good to say that, though.

But the fact is that, at the age of the cardinals, they no longer have that need, and they have more than enough to do.

The cardinals have great powers, such as the purification of the Light.

However, this strength will not make their bodies stronger, like knights, who can still live at the age of sixty or seventy.

The only one who is a little younger and has more energy left, well, he is not interested in women, and he has never been here alone.

The same goes for other cardinals.

The Pope was the only one who had ever been alone in this room.

And the Pope ...... I have been pure for more than 20 years. Even putting aside the sycophancy, many clergy can pat their chests and say that His Majesty the Pope is the purest man they have ever seen.

How could a witch get pregnant, how could she get pregnant!

"I don't know, I heard my heartbeat anyway." Xia Yanzhen said, "You said, will this blood flow backwards, and then produce some wonderful 'chemical reaction', so I am pregnant." ”

“……”

Lancelot is just a big boss, how can he understand this?

There can only be silence.

"So, this fetus is the son of your Pope and this witch, taking into account the strength of both sides." Xia Yanzhen guessed, "Therefore, a large number of rats have been attracted, and individual rats can be controlled to break through here." ”

"I sent people to the cardinal." Lancelot said.

Now the Pope can't bother, he has to come back to the cardinals to consult.

Lancelot opened the door, and there were still two Red Knights and a hidden Raven guarding the door.

Lancelot gave the order, and a raven left immediately.

It will take a little time to find the cardinal.

Abandoning the outer city is not something that can be carried out immediately with a pat on the head.

Huo Lun brought Xia Yanzhen here to protect the Pope, and the other bishops had already gone to the outer city wall in advance.

Intend to perform a complete miracle to minimize the number of rats outside.

At the level of cardinals, if they want to, they can purify the light and even purify people's lives.

Killing rats is a good idea.

When performing miracles, bring some of the people from the outer city to the inner city.

There are also all kinds of supplies, which must also be obtained to the inner city.

It will take about half a day to transfer, and in this half day, the church's defensive light curtain should be able to hold out.

When the time comes, the defensive front will be tightened and wait for the Pope to come out.

After a while, someone came back and sent back the news that Xia Yanzhen and Lancelot did not need to take care of it, and their task was to protect the Pope.

Leave everything else alone.

"That's it, you don't have to go—" Lancelot had not finished speaking, and out of nowhere, suddenly a mouse sprang out.

Go straight to the cross and to the Pope.

The red-eyed rat is as furious as a beast.

The cold light flickered, and Lancelot had already unsheathed his blade and connected the dots with his sword.

The rats on the ground were struck by him with his blade, and each one was impaled through the head with precision.

Lying on the ground motionless, only a little blood flowed out.

There were probably seven or eight mouse carcasses.

"Where did it come from?" Xia Yanzhen looked around.

The floor, ceiling, and walls here are actually not one, and at first glance, the void or something may not be visible.

"The Sword Comes"

If you listen closely, you can hear a lot of sound of air circulation.

If it's completely sealed, everyone will suffocate inside.

"Leave it alone, protect His Majesty the Pope." Lancelot motioned for Xia Yanzhen to clean up the mouse carcass into a corner.

They have only one task, and that is to protect the Pope.

Nothing else is for them to worry about.

"Don't be like a puppet, you don't have any initiative. If my guess is correct, the crisis of the Kuroshio Siege can be lifted. Xia Yanzhen looked Mary up and down.

Lancelot was about to say something when another rat came out.

This time, Lancelot saw that the rats had come out of the corners where the rat carcasses had been piled up in the beginning.

He stepped forward at once, and the sword was unsheathed again.

It rained down.

The rats all died by the sword.

For the chief knight, killing these rats is basically killing the fish on the chopping board, which is extremely easy.

"Ha......" Xia Yanzhen laughed, "Look, the performance is so obvious, it seems that the little things inside can hear our words." ”

"Don't mess around." Lancelot frowned.

This kid doesn't obey orders very much.

"It's not a mess, if you don't believe me, I'll try again." Xia Yan reached out and grabbed Mary's lower abdomen.

"Squeak!"

A large number of rats screamed, and hundreds of rats came out of the gaps in the room and pounced.

"Look." Xia Yanzhen smiled and took a step back.

The test was successful.

The rats also paused, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Lancelot ignored the fact that he moved at breakneck speed, slaughtering the rats.

It can be seen that Lancelot takes a more skill-oriented route, with light and elegant movements and extremely precise pricking.

It's easy to deal with small things like mice.

If it were someone else, I am afraid that Lancelot would not be able to do this, and the movements would even be a little pleasing to the eye.

Such skills and strength do not require eternal blood armor, and blood armor is a kind of restraint for him.

After all, it is armor, and it is impossible not to completely affect the activity.

Skinny jeans can affect your movement.

"It has been determined, and this will solve the Kuroshio crisis. Whoever you are, lend me your sword, and I'll have a caesarean section. Xia Yanzhen said.

The fetus in Mary's body doesn't seem to be very smart, or rather, in the face of crisis, she has to expose herself.

It is almost certain that the Kuroshio Siege was caused by it.

That being the case, it can also be solved by it.

Non-red-eyed rats are not that threatening.

Xia Yanzhen saw that Lancelot's sword was not stained with even a little blood, maybe it was equipment.

Maybe you can borrow it before you go—the kind that won't be returned.

"Do your job." Lancelot began to dislike Xia Yanzhen.

Young people, it's not necessarily a good thing to have too many ideas.

The Pope and the cardinal have their own plans, and as knights and priests, they just need to obey.

"Don't be too troublesome."

At this time, the Pope, who had not reacted all this time, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Well, you're awake?" Lancelot was slightly surprised, "How's it going?" ”

"Two days." "In just two days, I will be able to absorb the power of the Black Death, and I will be able to control the rats outside." I can feel them now. ”

Hearing the good news, Lancelot nodded.

"Two days is too late." Xia Yanzhen said, "Maybe the Holy City will be lost. ”

Before, he and the cardinals were too optimistic.

As it stands, the Holy City may not be able to hold out for two days.

"Just hold on here." The Pope said, then explained, "Don't touch that thing, it's there, so I can absorb the power of the Black Death." ”

When the Pope captures the witch Mary, he can't directly absorb her power.

In fact, Mary herself has no control over this power.

In the next generation, there are some changes, and it can barely be controlled a little.

The power of light in the Pope's hands is incompatible with the power of the Black Death. The only way is to create an individual and make it a carrier, a merge, of the two forces.

And then it was absorbed by the Pope.

Fortunately, the Pope is a man and Mary is a woman, and although she has a pure heart, there are some things that can still be tried to be extracted.

With newborns, the Pope has the ability to absorb the power of black death.

He didn't even wait for the fetus to be fully developed and born to begin absorption.

After being continuously absorbed, the fetus remains in the state of the fetus and will not be born until death.

The existence of the Dimon siblings is a catalyst.

Let the absorption of the Pope become very fast.

In just a few days, the life and death of the fetus were at stake.

Naturally, the fetus began to fight back.
