Chapter 287: It's almost time to deal with Athena (4)
Santa Monica's gaze is deep.
The slender and graceful body bathed in the moonlight looks more and more elegant and noble.
The whole person stands against the wind, even if he is motionless and lets the night breeze blow the skirt, he also has a surrendering temperament.
Only those eyes, clear and translucent like jewels, without the gentleness of the past, no one knows what His Highness is thinking at this moment.
With the withdrawal of the previous generation, the resignation of the Holy Woman, and the death of the Son, Santa Monica cleaned up the remnants of Florence's influence in the Church by a not-so-forceful but absolutely effective measure, and those who had been loyal to Florence were either purged or surrendered.
Today's Mother Earth Cult, Santa Monica has a position that no one can shake.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's time for you to rest." A nun appeared behind Santa Monica and whispered a reminder.
"There's chaos in the Imperial City right now, but someone is already dealing with it, so you don't have to worry about it."
Santa Monica's eyes fell, and she did not answer, and after a brief silence, she quietly returned to her dormitory.
Everything that happens outside has nothing to do with her, as long as her side is not affected.
On the other side, the Holy See.
Augustus was also watching into the distance.
He hadn't gone there, but he could feel the power coming from there.
The old cheeks and brows furrowed together, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
β¦β¦
Today is destined to be a sleepless night.
A large number of thugs wreaked havoc inside the imperial city.
They are like a bunch of crazy people, who don't care about those people's begging for mercy at all, just waving the butcher knife in their hands again and again, taking away one life after another.
The places where these mobs wreaked havoc were mainly in the aristocratic quarters, and only those who attacked the aristocratic districts could attract the attention of the empire and the church, and in the civilian quarters, even murder and arson were not cared for at all.
Throughout the imperial city, rivers of blood flowed and corpses were everywhere.
Countless nobles have lost their former dignity and fled in disheveled clothes, for fear that if they run slower, a knife from behind them can cut off their heads.
However, no matter how violent these people are, there will always be a gap in numbers.
The power of the Imperial City Guard, the Holy Knights, and the Earth Knights is not something that these thugs can handle.
By the end of the night, the thugs who had been wreaking havoc in the aristocratic district had been largely cleaned up.
Of course, there are also people who are completely unaffected by the movement outside.
For example...... Lothwieser.
Lothwiser considers herself to be the core of the former Heroes Squad.
Although you don't need to be on the front line, you can't do nothing, and if you can't produce anything, the other members won't obey you.
And now there are two problems in front of Lothwieser.
One is the conflict between Silph and Erin, Ellie.
This matter can only be mediated by herself, but this is not a simple matter, she must give Hilf some time to digest, and trying to mediate now will only cause Silver's dissatisfaction and rebellion.
The second is the mysterious Horus, who has revealed the news of the Brave Squad many times. β¦.
As long as this guy can be caught, the disadvantage of the former Brave Squad for a period of time may be reversed in an instant.
In order to investigate Horus, Lothwiser arranged for everyone at her disposal, even in the library.
But no matter how many people were arranged to go out to find news, no matter how many books Lothweser searched, she could not find any record of Horus, which made Lothwesher a little discouraged.
If only the Sylph told him Horus's name, Lothwesher would even wonder if Sylph was cheating on herself, but the sisters Erin and Ellie also confirmed it, so they certainly weren't lying.
Who the hell is this damn Horus?
Lothweiser has
Scratching at her hair tiredly, her image became a little bad, her hair was messy, and her face was a little haggard.
In fact, Lothweiser herself knows very well that flipping through books like this in the library is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
After all, it's very likely that the name Horus was just the talk of the guy who traded with Romon and not his real name at all, and no one would be stupid enough to say their real name when trading with monsters.
It's easy to imagine how difficult it is to investigate a name that doesn't even exist.
But she didn't have any other way.
This is the only clue she has at the moment.
"Holy Maiden......
At this moment, a nun belonging to Lothweiser walked up quickly, with some joy on her haggard face, and a thick book in her arms: "Is this what you are looking for?"
It was a mythological epic.
When she saw the contents of the page, Lothweiser's eyes lit up.
Roseweiser, who had no hope, was suddenly ecstatic, snatched the book, and studied it carefully.
In this poem, it is recorded that a prince named Horus was betrayed and died in the struggle for the power of the country, but his soul experienced nine deaths and returned from the world of the dead, and took revenge on the existence that had betrayed him.
After his successful revenge, Horus was revered by the people of the kingdom as the god of vengeance.
Lothwieser's eyes darkened again.
In any case, this is just a poem, not history.
Perhaps the man who traded with Romon had simply borrowed the name of Horus, the god of vengeance, as a way for him to remember his deep enmity with the members of the Brave Squad.
It was precisely because of the deep hatred between Horus and the former members of the Brave Squad that Ronald was subjected to such cruel torture, which was something that Lothweiser had known for a long time.
Lothwiser also tried to analyze those who had made enemies with the Brave Squad and Lord Geralt, but still found nothing.
Because the brave team is often neat and tidy, and will not leave a single living mouth, those who have resentment have already died, and even few of their relatives and friends have survived.
Thick books spread out on the table, slender fingers flipping through the pages.
With the clatter of papers, Lothweser thought to herself, she thought she was smart, but this time it was too difficult to deal with.
Horus.
The God of Vengeance..........
Brave Squad.
A few names kept flashing in Rosewieser's heart.
Before she knew it, Lothwieser had turned to the last page.
On the last page of the book is a sticky note with the names of people who have read the book......
In that ranking, four words irritated Lothweiser's eyes.
Augustus!
Lothwieser's eyes shrank suddenly.
Augustus also read the book?
He knew the name Horus, and he knew that the name represented revenge.
Augustus once infiltrated his boudoir and stole all of his wealth, as well as seven scrolls, as well as his own diary.
Augustus left a True Eye in his boudoir, monitoring his every move, so he knew the whereabouts of the Brave Squad.
And that last point, it's about hate.
Augustus is the pope of the Holy See, and Lord Geralt is a brave man, seeing that Lord Geralt's merits are getting bigger and bigger, he is becoming more and more popular among the people, his strength is getting stronger and stronger, and his status is getting higher and higher, even the brave team has become the Holy See, the Empire and the Mother Earth God Cult, another big force outside the Sage Mountain, dividing the power of Augustus.
Augustus, who has always been at the top of the human race, could not tolerate this situation, and it was normal for him to be jealous of Lord Geralt and the members of the Brave Squad.
On top of that, the members of the Brave Squad are in addition to self
In addition to being a saint, the relationship between other people and the Holy See can even be said to be very bad.
Karthas was the object of the Holy See's hunt.
Because Lord Geralt chose Karthas as a member of the Brave Squad, it was a slap in the face of Augustus, which made the Pope lose face, and it was normal for Augustus to hate Lord Geralt.
And herself, in alliance with Cardinal Douglas, wants to overthrow Augustus's rule and become the first female pope of the Holy See, it is naturally impossible to say that Augustus is unaware of this matter, so he can be regarded as Augustus's enemy.
Both Catherine and the Mad Muse once publicly mocked Augustus.
Ronald has even publicly stated that Augustus is incompetent and not a man.
In an instant, Lothwiser felt like she had instantly connected the threads in her mind into a thread, and the various pieces were spliced together at this time.
Then he cleverly came to the conclusion that Augustus was Horus.
Of course, in fact, Lothwieser herself knows that such a reason is actually a little too weak, but so what?
Is it important whether or not Augustus is important?
No, as long as Augustus had this possibility, it was enough.
After all, Augustus is a person that Rosewiser wants to get rid of, and as long as the Holy See is gone, then Rosewiser will become the actual ruler of the Holy See.
And putting the blame on Augustus can also cover up his incompetence that he can't even find a person.
Therefore, regardless of whether this Horus is Augustus or not, as long as Lotsweiser can't find out the true identity of Horus in a day, Augustus must be Horus.
In the Holy See, Augustus, who was about to return to the dormitory, sneezed, maybe the night wind was too strong, and he pulled the clothes on his body.
It may be that there are too many things to deal with during this period of time, and the pressure accumulated on my body is too great.
Augustus felt his body become a little awkward.
The poor Pope didn't know that he couldn't straighten his waist because he had been under pressure recently, but because he had more pots on his back.
More than Shichen......
β¦β¦
On the other side, Qin Chu, Helo Yinsi, Yin Yeta, and Silf returned to the palace.
Seeing Qin Chu come back, Antasia breathed a sigh of relief, but her face couldn't help but show a touch of sadness, she knew that Mavis was dead.
[To tell the truth,I've been using @@ηδΉ¦θΏ½ζ΄ recently,Change the source switch,Read aloud with more timbre,Android and Apple are available.γ γ
This is an inevitable end.
Qin Chu's gaze also looked into the distance.
The matter here is over, and Athena should have arrived at Xuelian Mountain by now, and it's almost time to deal with Athena.
