Dense branches and dead leaves block out the afternoon sun.

A soldier in full armor walked neatly and orderly through the forest path.

The spiritual outlook and external image are like a group of armies that have traveled from ancient times to modern times.

But what's even more bizarre is not this group of "ancient soldiers", but the figures with the soldier team as the core, spreading towards the Sifang Forest.

These figures are so fast that they can disappear from the sight of ordinary people in the blink of an eye.

It looks like a ghost, but once it stops, the face revealed is completely different from those mysterious supernatural monsters.

Mechanical gears make up their muscles, prosthetics made of Mithril metal that replace their fragile bodies.

In the deep and ancient environment of the dark forest, the existence of these strange people seems out of place, but it has a certain uncanny valley effect, which is inexplicably very infiltrating.

A half-man-tall eagle soared over the forest, taking in all the people below.

Then its wings vibrated and it sped all the way, turning into a black mist in a no-man's land, and disappeared without a trace.

As a result, Andy withdrew his "gaze" from looking into the forest.

……

"As transcendents, our vitality is very tenacious."

In the academy on the outskirts of the forest, there are professors at the podium who are talking about the lessons.

"What does this mean?"

"Resist the hit? Can adapt to all kinds of harsh environments? Not easy to die? ”

"In ancient times, people's views were like this."

"But in modern times, the development of secular scientific concepts has led to the emergence of a special discipline."

"Allophysis."

"Using this discipline, we can transplant the organs of some powerful life forms, or some alchemical products, into our body to obtain strong power in a short period of time."

"It would be ...... to do so"

St. Mary's College has a relaxed teaching environment.

Except for a few courses that require full participation, most courses are elective.

Compulsory courses are some pure knowledge theological education, such as religious history, the deeds of saints, the interpretation of major classics, and so on.

At the moment, this course is obviously not compulsory, or even elective.

Rather, it was a temporary course in the academy after the outbreak of the treasure incident.

Talking about different areas of knowledge according to the situation in the forest will make it easier for students to understand the situation outside.

It can be said that the senior management of the college knows how to be flexible very much.

Andy, who had just arrived for a few days, was listening to this class at this time.

But his mind was not on this.

"You're right."

The black snake on his wrist was constantly passing on words to him.

"After the Pope decided to enter, he has indeed begun negotiations with the Holy Twelve."

It is the Holy Terror, not St. Mary's College.

Of course, the two sides are not only talking about the ownership of the dark forest, but also about the game.

"During this period, you were also mentioned."

"Me?"

Andy pretended to be curious and asked, "How?" ”

"The people sent by the Pope to negotiate agree to lift the target against the remnants, but demand that the remnants not accept the minions of the empire, including you."

Black Snake chuckled, "So, although your plan was successful, the fruits of the harvest did not bear fruit...... The unsung hero is really humiliating enough. ”

"The Twelve are closely tied to the Empire."

Andy was not hit, and after hearing this, he hit the nail on the head:

"Even if they get out of the mess and want to get back on their feet in the church, they can't do without your support. Otherwise, it makes no difference whether the dilemma is lifted or not. ”

"They wouldn't be stupid enough to betray me, and the Pope didn't have to cut off my outstretched hand."

Black Snake said with a smile: "But he can allow other minions to enter, but he may not be able to allow you, a saint, to exist." ”

This is not dead, and it is clear that the negotiations are not over yet.

But looking at this attitude of schadenfreude, you can see that the situation is not optimistic.

is secretly doing things, and when the matter comes to a conclusion, naturally no one will think about Andy.

Although Andy "didn't do anything", he just attracted some external forces, and the dilemma was easily solved.

can take pains to plan to rescue the remnants of the party from the predicament, but in the end, he, the initiator, was kicked out of the game......

In the Queen's eyes, this was similar to the situation that York's priest named Matthew had faced.

Of course, because there is a certain benefit to be gained in this matter, and it will be even greater soon after the Pope discovers that the treasure is a hoax.

So she's not just gloating when she's saying that now.

Instead, he waited for Andy to beg himself.

However, in the face of this obvious hint, Andy didn't seem to hear the meaning of the words, and he wasn't even shocked by the news.

After hearing this, he just nodded, and his expression was not worried.

This surprised the black snake, who was going to listen to him ask for help.

But then, she had a guess in her mind.

"You had a plan?"

"You say, even if I join the church, will the next development be smooth?"

While listening to the lecture, Andy said in a secret language in a distracted voice: "Judging by the situation that you don't make trouble for me, and even unite all the helpers including the twelve families to support me." ”

"It will go well until you get to a certain position, and I can even guarantee that you will have the opportunity to enter the headquarters of the Church and become a cardinal."

Black Snake said frankly: "But don't think about climbing any further, and even if you are willing to become a cardinal, the process will be at least ten years." ”

Cardinals are eligible to run for the Pope and are prominent figures in the Evangelical Church and in the entire transcendent world.

The handful of people who belong to the top of the pyramid.

Andy is only fifteen years old now, twenty-five in ten years.

Anyone who hears the idea of being a cardinal at the age of twenty-five will feel very exaggerated, and even think that he is talking in his dreams.

But since the emperor opened his mouth, he showed that if she wanted to, she would be able to do it.

However, as mentioned in her words, could Andy be willing to be just a cardinal?

His goal was the Son.

But this identity, even with the full support of the Empire, is impossible to get for him.

Even, if the empire reveals that it wants to fully support Andy to become the Holy Son.

So let alone being a cardinal, it is not impossible for Andy to be hostile to all the members of the core of the church, and even to take risks to carry out assassination.

It can be said that the Son is the core interest of the Evangelical Church.

Anything else can make the empire reach out, this thing is definitely not good!

This is also the main reason why the Pope looked at Andy as an eyesore before.

The structure of the Evangelical Church is loose, not to mention the emperor, and even some cult organizations can plant people in it.

Why do you care about Andy?

Because six years later, that is, in the year 2000, it will be the time for the selection of the next Holy Son and Holy Daughter.

Andy's identity is really special, and his talent is very strong......

"So."

Under the puzzled gaze of the black snake, Andy said meaningfully: "With my current conditions, I can't become a holy son at all, after realizing this, what should I do?" ”

"Of course, it's about finding new opportunities and creating conditions for yourself."

Black Snake said: "But this is impossible, if you want to become a Holy Son, your enemies are not only the Pope, but also the mainstream forces of the current Church. ”

This kind of thing cannot be done with much strength or brains.

If you want to advance in the gospel church system, you have to speak according to the rules of the church......

However, who set this rule?

Or is there any existence that can crush all opposing forces, including the Pope, and make the impossible possible?

Andy didn't hide it anymore, and said something without changing his face, which made the other party stunned.

"Beneath the dark forest, there is an archangel buried."

"I'm ready to resurrect it."
