Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Unexpected
With the Pope's secret addition and support, the creation of the new Holy See is also much faster than progress, the fire at night a few days ago, there is no other follow-up action, everyone speculates that it is estimated that it is to explore the reality of the new Holy See, or want to take advantage of the chaos to enter the temple to find out, but I didn't expect that the temple is not to mention the night, that is, there are basically no living people who can approach it during the day, Bederick summoned skeleton soldiers to guard the temple at the beginning, and after the fire that night, more people were dispatched, and I don't know how many mechanisms were arranged in the dark, not to mention the magicians of the Holy See, even if they are magicians who know something about undead magic, it's not something that will be discovered in a while.
Finally, the 30,000 soldiers supported by the Empire arrived in Havaca as scheduled, and Benjamin took everyone and the people of the Imperial Envoys to meet him ten kilometers away from the new city.
"Master, why are you here too?" asked Benjamin as he hurried.
"Let's take a look at a few of you, and I also know about Sophia, see if I can help you. Master Luke said with some sadness, after all, Sophia was his student on the surface.
"......" heard Master Luke talk about Sophia, and Benjamin and the others also fell into a sad silence, but fortunately they were quickly interrupted by Sklell, otherwise the army of 30,000 would not know what to do.
"Haha, it's you, Didi. ”
Sclair walked up to a bearded, extremely burly man behind Master Luke, gave him a bear hug and said.
"Poof. Christine couldn't hold back for a moment and laughed. Also, people really can't imagine that such a strong man would be called by such a name.
Sclair glared back at Christine, but didn't say anything. Most of them didn't want to say anything, and Sklell knew very well how powerful Christine was as a "witch", so it was better to provoke less. So, he pulled Didi up and walked up to Benjamin and introduced:
"This guy used to grow up with me and went to the Royal Academy together, but then I stayed at the Academy, but he went to the military department as an officer, and now he is in the Night Stalker Knights, and when I heard that the Night Stalkers were coming, I guess I would definitely see this guy. After speaking, he said to Didi: "This is Benjamin, and the person who laughed just now is Princess Christine." ”
"Oh, Your Highness," Di Di didn't expect that the person in front of him was the person His Majesty the Emperor had told him, and the person who had laughed at him before was actually the daughter of Grand Duke Ziyue, so he hurriedly turned around and saluted Christine and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess." ”
After greeting Christine, he turned back to Benjamin and said:
"Your Royal Highness, His Majesty the Emperor has instructed me that from now on, our 30,000 soldiers will obey His Highness's orders and no longer belong to the Emperor's ** Department. ”
"Well, thank Your Majesty the Emperor for me. Benjamin said, of course, not for Didi, but for the Imperial envoy behind him.
According to the previous arrangement, the 30,000 soldiers of the imperial capital were arranged between the new city and the temple, where several barracks had already been prepared, and the materials and equipment were in those side halls around the temple, outsiders could not see that these side halls had already been portrayed by Bédrick several undead magic arrays, if anyone wanted to enter privately, Bédric would know it as soon as possible, and activate the magic array, which could trap the intruder for a while.
After the army was settled, the Imperial envoy came to Benjamin again and brought up the previous topic.
"Your Highness, now that the army has arrived, is it time for you to create a new Holy See as soon as possible? ”
"It's really going to be hurry, or I don't know what's going to happen next, right, my lord, envoy?" Benjamin said with a squint of eyes as he looked at the envoy in front of him.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?" the envoy was not stupid, and naturally heard something wrong with Benjamin's words.
"Hehe, it's nothing, Envoy. Benjamin smiled and continued, "I have already explained to Master Luke, please return to the envoy, it is estimated that the envoy will soon receive a message from His Majesty the Emperor." ”
The envoy of "Your Highness......" still maintained his demeanor, and did not appear annoyed by Benjamin's words, and after a salute, the envoy turned and left.
"Master Luke, I've already done what I had agreed. Benjamin said to Master Luke after sending the envoy back to the room.
"Well, let's just wait and see who's involved. Master Luke nodded and said.
Night fell on the mainland as always, but everyone knew very well in their hearts that tonight was destined to be an extraordinary night......
Everything was as everyone expected, and soon after nightfall, golden light continued to fall from the barracks, as if it was about to envelop the entire barracks, but there was no commotion.
"It's those guys from the Divine Prison. The Pope stood behind Benjamin and said after seeing the scene in front of him, "I really didn't expect that Carl even got the people from the Divine Prison." ”
"Is there anything special about the Divine Prison?" Benjamin heard from the Pope's mouth that this so-called Divine Prison may have an unusual status in the Holy See, otherwise the Pope would not have said such a thing.
"Well, in fact, the Divine Prison is completely independent of the Holy See, and on the surface it is responsible for things like trial and punishment, and the rest of the Holy See is completely the opposite. In addition, it will deal with some difficult things for the Holy See, such as purges and assassinations. The most important thing is that the Blood Knight, an existence that violates the teachings, is subordinate to the Divine Prison, not the Knights. And the warden of the Divine Prison can be said to be a completely detached existence, and his strength may not be weaker than mine, I really didn't expect Carl to be able to move the Divine Prisoner. ”
"Huh?" Benjamin and the others were stunned, they didn't expect that there were such strong people in the Holy See, and the blood knights he had seen many times actually belonged to this mysterious divine prison, not the knights imagined by himself and others, no wonder the blood knights had some evil feelings.
"Besides, the ones you met before can't be considered real blood knights," the Pope also had some understanding of the situation that Benjamin and the others had encountered before, and at this time he even said that those guys were not really blood knights," The real blood knight can't be blessed with the light magic technique, those who were originally refined by the most hardened heretics, although the body is controlled by the magic technique, but the soul is unyielding, and only in this way can you become a real blood knight, and the power that bursts out is not at all comparable to the kind you encountered before. Although I am the Pope, I know very little about the situation, and it has always been passed down from the wardens of the Divine Prison. Speaking of these things, the Pope's face showed an unbearable look, but he could imagine how miserable the refining process would be.
"So, the matter of the Xuanyuan Clan in the Absolute God Canyon was done by the people of the Divine Prison?" Xuanyuan Nahe suddenly asked.
"According to what you described, there should be people from the Divine Prison, but not exactly, others do not seem to be people from the Holy See. The Pope had nothing to hide, and told Xuanyuan Nach about his analysis.
"What's that?" asked as Benjamin noticed a black vortex suddenly appear above the barracks.
"No, it's the Purgatory Guard!" the Pope shouted when he saw this, his face changed dramatically.
