"So, I had to drag my old body out to lead the Holy See and fight against the evil forces...... But I was so old at that time that I could barely move, so in order to get myself moving again, I had to accept the advice of my subordinates, and I did something that was a last resort at the time, and it was not evil, but I couldn't forgive myself."

Speaking of this, Lancer's expression became dark, and he was silent for a while before he continued: "Back then, in order to gain the vitality and vitality to stand up again, I had to absorb the vitality of the death row prisoners who were imprisoned in prison and the deep prisoners who were destined to die of old age."

"...... You mean to say that in order to replenish your own life force, you used your wood ability to absorb their life force?" Eco asked.

"Ah, that's right...... In fact, my wood-based spells are naturally different from the traditional wood-based spells.My spells are not as powerful as the traditional wood-based spells in terms of healing ability.Of course, the healing energy is still a lot higher than that of other spells.Moreover,In terms of the power of manipulation of plants,I can't compare to the traditional wood-based spells.But that's how I am,I also have a certain specialty.,Although I hate this very much at the moment." Lancer smiled bitterly: "That is the sensitivity to the vitality of the body, and after the active cultivation, I am stronger than the traditional wood priest in maintaining the vitality of others."

"But...... In addition to making breakthroughs in maintaining the vitality of others, I also have a different specialty in another area, and that is the absorption of life force.

Lancer explained: "When I was in the fifth order, I developed a spell that absorbs the vitality of others, and its effect is also very well understood, that is, to absorb the vitality of others to strengthen my own vitality, of course, this kind of spell is not only used in this regard, in a large-scale war, if suddenly there is a spell that makes the vitality of the soldiers on the opposite side be 'pumped' in an instant, then they will definitely lose more than eighty percent of their combat effectiveness in a few breaths, after all, the vitality seems to be exerted by something in an instant." If you smoke it, of course, it will be a temporary instability of the life force in the recipient's body, right?

"Of course, this doesn't mean that I can drain their life force like this, but it can slightly affect the stability of their life force...... That is to say, if I were to absorb anyone's life force, then there could only be one result." Lanther paused, his face became heavy, and said: "That is, it is a single spell, that is to say, after I start to absorb it, I can't stop this spell.

"And the role of my spell in the battlefield is actually to interfere with the stability of the vitality in the opponent's body, so that the opponent can't move within a few breaths."

Hearing this, Eco understood, and she asked, "So in order to bring the Holy See out of its predicament, you have sucked out the condemned prisoners and the criminals who will probably be imprisoned until they die in prison.

"...... Yes, Miss Eco, you are right, I was angry and indulged the evil thoughts in my heart, and let it convince me, in order to bring the Holy See to declare war on the Church of the Underworld, in order to quell the war, I can commit this sin against the way of heaven." Lancer sighed, "But actually, under the influence of evil thoughts, I selectively ignored the statement of Luoyin and Star Palace, which also had evidence at that time, announcing a joint crusade against the Stygian Guys."

"In other words, in fact, the Holy See at that time, even without me, the former pope, as long as they followed the Star Palace and Luoyin, they could also quickly smash the conspiracy of the Underworld Church.

"For those who should have lived for a few more years or decades, it is the right way to let them have the opportunity to repent for their sins, but it is a pity that my actions have left them with no chance to repent of their sins." Lancer said.

"...... And, if I'm right, the number of criminals who have been sucked into your life force should not be small." Eco asked quietly, "Judging from the historical records, the three holy lands all participated in the war at that time, although there are many details in the history books that have not been recorded, and there is not even the name of the leader of the three holy lands, but the cultivation of the leaders of the three holy lands is still mentioned, that is, the unified seventh-order master." After a pause, Eco said slowly, "And the seventh-order master of the Holy See should be you, right? Your Highness Lanther? So, what is the vitality of a dying seventh-order master who needs to maintain a 100% combat state?"

"Miss Eco, who is also a pastor of life, is not wrong at all." Lancer was surprised by Eco's smart reaction, but then nodded and replied, "Just like Miss Eco said, just a few people, dozens of people's vitality, of course, can't fill my dried up life force as a seventh-order master, and even if I can absorb the life force of others, I can't receive them all. [,!] It needs to be refined and purified.Otherwise, rashly absorbing the life force of others will also cause my own life force to be disordered, right?"

"Therefore, since it is to refine and purify the absorbed life force, then the amount of absorbed life force will definitely have some loss, and it must be refined at a deep level, that is to say, ......"

"That is to say, quantity is sacrificed for the sake of quality, but only enough quantity can guarantee your status, so you have to get more quantity from more criminals, and do more purification and transformation to get enough quantity." Hearing this, Eco knew in his heart, so he said.

"That's right, that's the way it is, so in a certain sense, I can say that it's a lot like a vampire, 'draining' the life force of hundreds of people, even though they are all criminals, but it's also hurtful.So, when my time comes to the end again, that is, now, I decide to meet it, this time, I won't look for any more reasons for myself, I decide to meet my end, and then go and accept the Lord's sanction." Lancer said firmly, "So, please don't have to persuade me...... Almost every faculty member who saw me tried to persuade me, but there was no doubt that they all failed." Lancer smiled comfortably.

"Understood, that is." Eco nodded, indicating that she understood that the other party's mind was not so close to Lancer, and she did not have the "admiration" or "this is a useful person" stance of the Holy See.

"But, having said all that, the purpose of your coming to me today is to tell me why you chose to die, just to find someone to talk to about this topic and stumble upon me?" Eco asked coldly, this question made Lan Tser, whose face was implied with tragedy and determination on the other side, choke in amazement for an instant.

Although Eco's tone did not fluctuate, this complaint implied, "You have been talking to me so much, just this little?" This makes Lancer quite a strange and sad feeling that the mountains do not meet the flowing water, and the boya does not meet the bell period, but meets a cow......

"Ahem...... What Miss Eco said is, it seems that I'm getting old, and I always like to talk about it or something? Ahem, okay, I specially invited Miss Eco to drink this cup of tea, first, I really want to tell Miss Eco something about my ability and the experience of using this ability, although I really hate this ability at this time, but if it has other uses as a battlefield-type support, of course, it is still a very useful ability." Lancer laughed dryly.

"But are you sure I won't use this life-draining spell?" Eco asked.

"Of course I'm not sure, after all, you and I don't know each other very well." To Echo's surprise, Lancer answered the question with a very crisp smile, and said, "However, I think you probably don't need to use this spell, I have already said it before, right? I am very, very sensitive to life force.

Lan Ther let out a long exclamation and said, "Judging from your majestic vitality, of course you are not very old, and your cultivation is very high, and you must be a priest of the wood system, so of course you will not be bothered by the lack of vitality like me, I am sure that you will definitely be able to reach the eighth order, because you are still very young and young, and when you break through the eighth order, your life force will be full and surging again."

"So, the conclusion is, if nothing else, you don't need to suck the life force of others, so I'm willing to gamble once, bet on your character." Lancer said.

"And then there's another thing about me looking for you this time...... That's right, our Holy See has accidentally discovered an ancient ruin in a large mountain in the south-central part of the Attiro Empire.

"Because...... At the end of my limited life, I wanted to surprise and surprise more, so of course I had to explore it myself, and in order to avoid trouble, I refused all the faculty members who wanted to go with me."

"Well, I wanted to go in by myself, but recently it occurred to me that if no one came with me, it would be boring if I had spent a lot of time in this ruin, but I had died in the ruins because I had spent too much time...... So!"

"So you want to find a friend from somewhere else to go in, and you met me today? So you want to invite me in?" When Eco heard this, his heart cleared.

"That's right! That's it! So...... Will you say yes?"
