A faint voice came from someone sitting on the throne made of pure gold and inlaid with various gems. Following the direction of the sound, one can see a man nailed to the wall. "A hundred years have passed, and you can still be reincarnated. It's just as you said. You are some kind of god or descendant, right? Art? Beelzebub? Or the foreign evil god you've been obsessed with? Well, forget it, they're all the same." That wall and here seemed to be two different worlds, filled with dampness, mold, and blood, and an atmosphere of desolation and desolation. "But I have already prepared the materials for your reincarnation. Just continue to contribute your strength. To be honest, if you hadn't appeared in front of me in Millennium City that year, I would have found it difficult to catch you. But if it weren't for you, I wouldn't understand what great cause the Lord wanted to accomplish by establishing the church." "From this point on, I would like to thank you." As the sound fell again, a person's body was thrown under the wall. Then, under the thin line of magic that could not be observed by the naked eye, the person on the wall immediately lost his breath of life. At the same time, an unknown thin line of power was transmitted from the person on the wall to the body under the wall. Within a second, the dead man opened his eyes, but was nailed to the wall again. There was only anger in his eyes. "Francesca, just continue to contribute your limited divine power as always and prepare to welcome the new world that has yet to arrive." "That is, make some necessary sacrifices for my plan and for the great cause that Lord Novia failed to accomplish."
105: I'm leaving, so you have to follow me closely Mabel Kiara, Although the names were similar, combined with what Kishua said about a natural born saint, Avia could only guess that it was the destined savior Kiara Sesshōin who was born a thousand years earlier. But from what the Demon Marshal said, Avia probably understood the question that had been bothering him for a long time, which was why the church had gradually decayed since 300 AD. It was most likely that it was the work of the abnormal Saint Qihuang. "I'm really sorry for saying so many irrelevant things." Having said that, Kishua still smiled cheerfully and continued: "In short, a hundred years ago, the only future nodes I could observe after being defeated were the two vague messages about the year 419 and Britain. All other nodes disappeared. Mr. Avia, to be honest, I cannot guarantee that the person is you, but since you are the one chosen by Altluki, then this is also the instruction of the current planet." Artluqi stared silently at the magic marshal in front of her, and cast a suspicious look at Avia beside her. It was obvious that she did not hear any logical connection between her choice and the instructions of the planet. Avia is very clear about this, because in Tsukihime R, it has been made clear that only when Altluchi and Elquito, who was born in the 12th century, truly decide the winner, can the winner become the real 'ONE', that is, the UO of the earth. After all, the hybrid of the True Ancestor and the Dead Apostles is made of half a planet. "Okay, whether it's me or not, I am going to take action against the church anyway." Avia said without hesitation, as if he had already made the decision. "Hahahaha, that's good. In that case, I'll leave first. Otherwise, if I'm caught by Mabel, my fate will be miserable. My power will be sucked away all the time..." Just as when it came, it appeared because of the sound, and when it left, it left because of the sound. Then the active white-haired old man left, and Avia and Altluchi began to stare at each other in silence. I thought the silence would last for dozens of seconds, but it didn't end even after four or five minutes. The white demon dog was now lying on the ground, as if it had no strength left. It was obviously very sad because of its owner's cold attitude just now. The black-haired girl exudes a mysterious aura that makes her seem like someone who won't easily come into contact with others, as well as a certain aura, as if she herself is enough to become an alien object no matter what the background is. To be honest, although I know that this lady's appearance and body are both of a fourteen-year-old, how should I put it, Avia always feels that he has encountered too many of them.
Bang bang bang. There was a knock on the door, it seemed someone was coming. With a cold sigh, Artelluci stood up and looked at Fufu without saying a word. Then the white demon dog jumped consciously and opened the door. "Master Jijun, this is bad. We are exposed." The blond man appeared in front of them. Looking at his disordered breathing and the corners of his eyes that were raised for unknown reasons, Avia remembered that this was not the dead apostle who appeared in the maze and said that he could only survive by buying blood at the hospital... But seeing as he has a friendly relationship with Heiji now, the only one could be the White Knight. Zhu Yue has the Black and White Winged Duke, and Heiji also has the Black and White Knight. And just as he thought— "What's going on, Brad? Why are we exposed? Haven't we been hiding well here all these years? And no one from the church has come." Altluci asked calmly. It seemed that because he had introduced the unconscious Avia before, the White Knight was not confused by the human who suddenly appeared in his lord's house. "It's like this. Today, a dead apostle of the Royal Guard who temporarily made a living by begging accidentally came across charity from the church. However, because he had not been able to suck blood for a long time, he couldn't hold it in and vomited all over the church staff. As a result, he was forced to be confined and have his physical condition checked. The result was..." To be honest, it was the first time that the White Knight had seen such a thing happen to the well-trained Royal Guards. It was so inexplicable, as if they were cursed by something. "No, they don't suck blood. Usually, they suck animals... Is that so?" Ji Jun frowned on his cold face. "Has the church sent people to arrest us? Let's get everyone to retreat." "Not at all. The dead apostle has been released." Brad shook his head. "The cardinal of the Constantinople Cathedral who was confronting Rezovol said that he would not come to hunt us down and allow us to leave, leaving the territory of the Eastern Roman Empire. But he hopes that you can discuss it with him before we leave." The Black Knight, Rezowal Stulut, is one of the three oldest Dead Apostles and one of Heiji's guards. The White Knight continued, "Although it sounds nice, Rezovol and I believe that you must not be exposed to those people. It is best for you to hide somewhere else and avoid the Church's attention." It's clear that what Brad said is the best solution. However, Altluchi looked at the layout of the room, shook his head and said: "The guards should withdraw from the city first. You go and tell the cardinal that I will go to accept the appointment." "But this is the case..." "Nothing to worry about." "...Yes, Rezowall and I will protect you at all costs." After Brad left, Ji Jun let the white demon dog come to his shoulder, and suddenly said to Avia, who had been silent for a long time: "Kishua said you are very important. Although I don't care... However, if you can really fight against the church, I will try my best to protect you. So, do you want to come with me?" "If Master Ji-jun could be a little gentler to me, maybe I would follow you." Avia joked as he picked up the spear, looking at the white demon dog with bared fangs and claws on Altluchi's shoulder with a smile. "Is that so? I'll keep it in mind for reference, and try to be gentle with you as a human." There wasn't a trace of tenderness in Ji Jun's words, only the usual indifference. But she didn't care about Avia's reaction at all and started to walk out slowly.
"......" When she reached the door, the black-haired girl seemed to have thought of something, stopped, and then turned around. "Well, I'm leaving, so you have to stay with me, Avia." She said this very naturally. 106: Doctors of the Church and Grace Because of the Roman Schism, the cardinals in the Diocese of Constantine were the leaders of the church in the Eastern Roman Empire. However, due to the differences in doctrinal concepts between the two sides, they gradually moved towards a split. The split that lasted for more than 20 years was enough to influence the ideas of a generation. However, after the split, there were relatively few believers willing to stay in the Eastern Roman Empire, resulting in a shortage of grassroots church personnel in the Eastern Roman Empire in recent years, and they could only be trained slowly. The place where the Cardinal invited Ji Jun to discuss the matter was a small church at the port, probably to avoid the vigilance of the Dead Apostles and to show his sincerity. "By the way, Ji Jun, if you want to move outside of Rome, I can take you to a place, but the prerequisite is that it can be guaranteed to be the same as it is now." Avia, who was walking side by side with the black-haired girl, said without hesitation. In fact, the place he was talking about was the Huns tribe. After all, the Eastern European region where the Huns were located was still divided and had not yet been unified. Also, due to the discrimination of the Western Roman Empire against the Huns, this also led to the wild growth of mysterious creatures there. The silver-haired boy has decided that in order to defeat the church that has been corrupted by Qihuang for a hundred years, one Whip of God is not enough, and he needs another. Attila had failed to destroy the Western Roman Empire, so he would do it with it. Before that, the Huns had to be unified more than ten years in advance. Hearing this, Artluci looked at Avia with a meaningful look, but the look quickly disappeared. "So, what's the price?" "Do me a favor, and we can also sign a contract as a guarantee for both parties." Facing the human's answer, the blood-red eyes glanced at him, and in a tone as flat as his gaze, he said indifferently, "Really?" The white demon dog on her shoulder heard this emotionless voice, tilted its head and called softly: "Fu, Fu." The brisk cry seemed to be saying, "How could my great master sign a contract with a human being?" But the next second, Artluqi looked at it with cold eyes, which made Fu Fu shiver again. The two men and the beast walked towards the church. The color of the church's walls was a light gray, blending in with the surrounding natural environment. The roof of the church was mainly made of wood and covered with thick straw, giving people a friendly and warm feeling. There were several figures standing at its entrance, two of whom were the black and white knights of Heiji, and the others were probably members of the church. Altluchi simply nodded to the black and white knights, and the two of them consciously made way for them without asking too many questions about Avia who came with them. The light inside the church is soft and warm, casting mottled shadows through the windows. These shadows move slowly inside the church, creating a mysterious and solemn atmosphere, making people feel an inner peace and tranquility. Appearing in front of the two people was an old man and a seemingly calm man. "Is that Ji Jun here... Oh, is that person next to him a human..." "A human who is working with the Dead Apostles..."
There was a hint of danger in the calm man's voice. "Augustine, please be more careful with your tone and attitude." The old man said this, and as his words came out, the man returned to his gentle demeanor. "Forget about introducing yourself." Artluqi sat across from the two of them, "What can I do for you, Bishop Jerome?" "Before entering the labyrinth, Lord Kobake told me that if I could ever meet Lord Ji, he would tell me something." The old man smiled gently and said, "As the elder of the Dead Apostles, you are always welcome to his labyrinth." Koback, who was being hunted down because the Holy Book of Tridin was taken away by Mabel Kiara, returned to the labyrinth he had built. As time passed, it became a huge maze with distorted dimensions that almost no one could enter. "Okay, that's it. Your Excellency, you can leave the Eastern Roman Empire with your knights and royal guards. I hope you will never appear in front of us again." After Bishop Jerome finished speaking, he began to drive them away without mercy. This was normal. As church members, no matter how much they disagreed with the main department, they still disliked dead apostles. The reason why he wanted to tell Arteluqi in person was probably because of Ke's instructions. Avia thought silently, but at this moment he roughly understood the identities of these two church personnel staying in the Eastern Roman Empire. Jerome, one of the four doctors of the Western Church, translated the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament into Latin. He is also known as the greatest scholar in the ancient Western Church. However, he should be the dean of Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, but now he has become the cardinal of Constantine. As for this Augustine, it is most likely that he is the Doctor of Grace... How should I put it? Avia is a little embarrassed. After all, in the first century AD, the things he promoted more or less had the shadow of this person... But like Jerome, his life path changed, because he should have converted to the church just before his death. "......I see." Heiji responded with her usual cold voice and walked out of the church without looking back, but in fact, the girl's voice was not very powerful. "Augustine, Jerome, my name is Avia, see you again if we are lucky." Avia introduced himself to the two of them with a smile, and then walked out with them. "It's really just as Lord Kobbecker said. It's really hard to persuade." Jerome murmured softly when Augustine and himself were the only ones left in the church. In fact, when Cobaek came to him, Jerome also asked why Cobaek didn't go and tell him in person. Kobick's answer was: She rejected my invitation without hesitation. At that time, she gave me this answer: "No matter how much I try to avoid it, I can't change the current situation, right? If it's up to me, then I'll face it head-on. I'm the only heir, and I have the qualifications to take on the responsibility. Even if it means being in danger, I'll do what I have to do. I won't avoid it." Perhaps it was because of this character that the black and white knights and the royal guards followed Ji Jun when he left. "Master Jerome, we have already discovered the place where those dead disciples lived. Why did we have to wait until today?" Augustine asked from the side. "They haven't caused any unnecessary killings because of their bloodsucking, so it's not a bad idea to let them live on. After all, no matter how much we disbelieve in something, it still exists before our eyes." "Then why now..." The old man sighed and said, "Some things don't matter if they are not exposed, but once they are exposed, you have to take action."
In other words, if the dead guard had not been exposed for strange reasons, he would not have expelled him from the East Roman Empire. "By the way, what do you think about this, Augustine?"
