Chapter 25 What you say is reasonable, but we don't listen
"Even with that so-called shadow ability, Joan is still not a strong person among the punishment knights, and it is not worth mentioning compared to the first-class combat power on the pan-continent, except for being able to surprise him. However, her abilities cannot be copied, they cannot be analyzed, and even she herself does not know how she does it, but she can do it instinctively, without any magic or vindictiveness, and it is not a holy technique obtained by prayer, but a creature itself, like us raising our hands. โ
Baldwin pinched Joan's face from both sides like a commodity, and roughly pulled her in front of Nagi to show it.
"Suffice it to say, this guy is no longer human. โ
Seeing that Nagi seemed speechless in surprise, Baldwin added.
"You're saying someone has tampered with the rules of this world?"
Baldwin's meaning is quite clear, although magic and holy arts have quite magical abilities, but these abilities occur within the scope of the rules of this world, just like humans can cause nuclear weapons that destroy the world, but there is no way to modify the law of gravitation. However, Joan's ability is beyond the scope of the rules, for a simple example, if there is a superpowered person in the real world, his ability is to be able to levitate one centimeter on the ground without the help of any external force, this ability is really wasteful except for performing light skills of floating on water, but it breaks the existing laws of physics, and can make physicists all over the world live together. This is a terrible thing, because once the most basic common sense is destroyed, then people will inevitably wonder if the glorious civilization created by the old world based on this new common sense will be destroyed overnight.
"It's just a conjecture, I hope it's just that I'm thinking too much, because who else but the Creator God can change the rules of this world? Just thinking about it makes people tremble, knowing that if our enemy is an evil god as powerful as the Creation God, the existing force is meaningless to that Being, and we can't do anything but pray that God will save us. โ
Baldwin let go of his hands on Joan's face, he knew it was pointless to vent his anger on the girl who was also a victim, but no matter what he did, his anxiety would not be alleviated, the church had dealt with enough tricky enemies, but now they were going to face an opponent who seemed invincible.
"So you want to ask us?"
Now, even if Baldwin doesn't figure it out himself, Nagi already knows what he wants to know, and he wants to know what he needs to do to get the world through the crisis, and the church that has lost God's grace has lost its direction in the face of an out-of-spec enemy. So Baldwin found Nagi, because if Nagi was really a living saint as Dominic said, maybe there would be a way to go up to heaven and get God's instructions.
"That's right, it's a matter of life and death for the whole world, so the Church has informed the Ottomans about it for help, and although they have different beliefs, they seem to have lost contact with their gods thousands of years ago, and I don't say you can understand the coincidence. So if you know something, don't hide it, even a little bit of instruction, and please give me advice. โ
Baldwin's hands naturally drooped and bowed deeply to Nagi, and Joan, who was standing beside him, also pretended to bend down when she saw him like this, but her clever eyes glanced up slightly, as if she wanted to observe Nagi's reaction.
"We don't know exactly what will happen, but one thing we can be sure of is that whether it is windy or rainy, the sun will still rise, and the world will be very early from the day it will be destroyed!"
Maybe nothing in this world will be eternal except for gods, and everything in this world can be changed, but Nagi can definitely answer Baldwin, this thriving world will never be ruined because of some bullshit evil god.
"Hehehe, is that so? That's great, if the world doesn't ruin Miรจ, we don't need additional saints. โ
Hearing Nagi's confident affirmative answer, Baldwin, who was originally hunched over, suddenly let out a meaningful whisper, only to see him slowly straighten up, and when Nagi saw his eyes hidden under the silver mask again, the original sincerity had disappeared, leaving only a deep chill.
"Cut, cross the river and tear down the bridge?"
Nagi took a step back defensively, knowing what the church had done to Joan of Arc before, she knew very well that these self-interested people might be the real murderers of the saints, after all, if anyone could reach the heavens, what else would these priests do?
"Don't look at me like that, Nagi-sama, before I was the executioner of the Church, I was the future king of the Holy Land, the heir to the chivalry of the Franks, and I can't do that kind of thing that only the rats do. Do you want to consider coming to the church to be a saint to whom all people admire? I have investigated your private life, and compared to the troublesome and low-paying hard work of the college tutors, we not only have food and lodging here, but you can do whatever you want in Rory, and the church will do it for you. โ
With his hands crossed, Baldwin smiled hypocritically and threw out an olive branch from the church.
"Indeed, your mention is very good, not only can the church have a means to reach the heavens, but also allow us to live a carefree and heavenly life, compared to the relatively remote Yang Yan Empire, there must be a lot of interesting things in Rory City. This condition is indeed a win-win situation, which makes it difficult for us to refuse!"
Nagi folded her arms over her chest, raised her head slightly, and squinted at Baldwin in front of her.
"We can give you far more than Edward and St. Lawrence, the old fox, you know, the church may have become decayed now, but there are still some people looking up at the stars, looking forward to the day when God returns to the mortal world, and my intuition tells me, this day may not be so far away, come back to Rory City with me, you will be transcendent, and I will be crowned king!
Baldwin stretched out his hand to Nagi, his palm pointing upwards and his fingers slightly clasped, as if he really held the whole world in his palm.
"That's good!" Reaching out and pointing hard at Baldwin, Nagi's face smiled slightly, but he shook his head in Baldwin's stunned gaze and said, "But we refuse, because one of our favorite things to do is to say to those self-righteous guys, NO!"
"You, don't agree, just because of this nonsense?"
Baldwin and his fellow punishing knight beside him, Joan, were stunned together, director, is this different from the script that was promised?
"So what? What are you going to do now?
If Baldwin had come up in front of Nagi in front of her and offered the same conditions in the days when Nagi had just moved into St. Lawrence, maybe Nagi would have agreed to his invitation, but now Nagi had already established countless bonds in the academy to let her go?
"Oh, you don't want to be religious or die, and it's really hard for me!"
A long sword hanging from his waist was drawn, although he couldn't see the expression under Baldwin's mask, but he must have been extremely angry!
"One of my favorite things Baldwin does is beat up those guys who pretend to be in front of me so that her mother doesn't even know her!"
