St. Lorraine was as quiet as ever. The night breeze of early winter blew across the heavily guarded palace, and the cold wave was filtered by the warm current. However, in the meeting room next to the throne, the black-haired young man could still feel an inexplicable chill.
Slowly digesting John's words, the black-haired young man's face gradually stiffened.
"Grandpa John, the so-called angelization is …"
The white-haired old man roughly explained to Luo Ya the principles and difficulties of the bloodline promotion of the Heathcliff family, as well as the contradiction of power in Xi Ya.
Angels were the right-hand men of Xi Ya in ancient times. Their power could be said to be worthy of the title of God. Now, countless years later, although Heathcliff had become the manager of the Vatican with the bloodline left behind by Xi Ya, he had never stopped exploring his own power.
"At that time, Heathcliff thought that the power of angels was a huge treasure that could be exploited infinitely. However, with the accumulation of related spells and secret techniques, the family's development of the bloodline gradually matured, and the huge hidden danger began to gradually reveal itself, which is the irreversible reaction of angelization."
Angelization sounded like the ultimate form of the angelic bloodline, and in fact, it was true in terms of bloodline purity. Unfortunately, this so-called angelization did not mean becoming an omniscient and omnipotent god, nor was it becoming an ancient messenger of Xi Ya. It was a runaway power.
"Divinity?"
The white-haired old man sighed and told the young man what happened when Luo Ya was not around. In fact, not long after Nuo Aier arrived at St. Lorraine for treatment, an accident happened that outsiders did not know about. The bloodline power in the girl's body broke through the limit, causing a short period of angelization and a runaway power.
"Nuo Aier has gone to Tuck Fortress."
"That's right. The angelization of the atavistic bloodline is much more serious than I thought. However, the suppression effect is limited, and it must be vented to a certain extent. Only the mutants can bear such a task."
After hearing John's explanation, the young man finally understood why there were no letters from Nuo Aier for so long.
Obviously, the most suitable place to deal with this kind of impulsive killing was the battlefield, especially the battlefield of the mutants. If it was a war between humans, cruel killings would often bring shame. For Nuo Aier, the future successor of the Vatican, the importance of reputation was self-evident. It would be a big problem if she accidentally killed a surrendered soldier.
In fact, there was no one in the world who knew Nuo Aier's bloodlust better than Luo Ya. In the "Recorder's Eye", one of the scenes that left the deepest impression on Luo Ya was Nuo Aier's murderous smile when she stood on top of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. In the past, Luo Ya meant that Nuo Aier's personality was the reason. But now that he thought about it, it was actually wrong.
But unlike the game, Nuo Aier's situation in reality was much worse. Not only did her extraordinary power improve faster, but her bloodline upgrade was also brought forward. Under the influence of these two factors, to what extent would her runaway power reach?
"Actually, Nuo Aier told me not to tell you before she left. But as her elder, I naturally have to consider her safety first. That's why I called you here."
"Well, this is a request from Heathcliff. I hope you can go to Tuck Fortress."
In the room, the white-haired old man's voice was calm but solemn as he made the request. Luo Ya couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.
Luo Ya was shocked by the white-haired old man's words for a moment. He reflexively wanted to agree, but when the words came to his mouth, he had doubts in his heart.
"Well, there is indeed such a possibility. But even so, I still hope that you can go and see her because you are the anchor in her heart."
"Yes, the way to resist the angelization is to vent one's power and consume one's divinity. On the other hand, it is to strengthen one's humanity. You are special to that child. You are the anchor that holds on to oneself and stabilizes her spirit. Of course, Kai Yin is also one of the anchors of Nuo Aier. That's why I asked her to go to Tuck Fortress."
"I see. I understand."
Luo Ya thought for a moment and sorted out the situation. He then opened his mouth and agreed to go to Tuck Fortress. The white-haired old man was relieved to see this and told the young man about the following arrangements.
Because the matter of Nuo Aier's bloodline upgrade was still a secret, Luo Ya's departure naturally couldn't be made public. For this point, Holy See John adopted the old method, which was to let the most trusted inquisitors take on the task of escorting Luo Ya. Of course, Luo Ya's own guards could also follow.
"Grandpa John, did something unpleasant happen between Count Hanks and the Akate family? I always feel that he is a little wary of me. "
"Is that so? I understand."
I'm afraid the atmosphere of this trip won't be too good.
Nuo Aier was one of the rare atavistic bloodlines in Heath Crete. From the moment he was born, the growth of his extraordinary power had been carefully deduced in order to prevent any accidents. The bloodline upgrade, which could endanger his life, was of the utmost importance. In fact, when he was young, the Vatican's prediction of Nuo Aier's growth had always been accurate until the age of nine, when Nuo Aier met Luo Ya.
There was no doubt that this change must have something to do with Luo Ya. However, whether it was the bloodline of the Akate family that promoted Nuo Aier's growth, or whether it was the encounter between Luo Ya and Nuo Aier that changed something, Holy See John wasn't sure. However, there was one thing that the old man knew very well.
"May Xi Ya bless you."
Going to the frontline was a major event. Even if he wasn't going to the battlefield, he still needed to report to his family. Most importantly, according to the journey to the Eastern Region, plus the time spent with Nuo Aier, he estimated that he would only be back next year.
According to Ka Diya's letter, although the Eric family couldn't raise their heads in front of the alliance between Akate and Heath Crete, they were still very active behind the scenes. In the end, they were just waiting for an opportunity. Now that Nuo Aier's situation was so unstable, no one knew if the Eric family would take the opportunity to do something.
It was necessary to be vigilant, but it was a little awkward for Luo Ya to set off now because not only Nuo Aier was about to upgrade his bloodline, but the boy was also in a state of waiting for a breakthrough.
The three pagan leaders, including Cynthia, felt that Luo Ya's behavior was very inappropriate. They all said that it was too risky. After all, the difficulty of upgrading from Source Level 4 to Source Level 3 was no less than the difficulty of upgrading Nuo Aier to Golden Bloodline. How could he be unprepared?
But if it was Luo Ya who was here, why would he want to break through on the carriage? Wasn't this the same as raising an antenna? Was he afraid that he wouldn't die fast enough?
After some consideration, the worried Rodney, Wood, and Cynthia jointly came forward to advise Luo Ya. Wood, who was the oldest, said these words carefully. He wanted Luo Ya to think about it again, but the boy's attitude was very firm this time.
In this case, the conditions for Luo Ya to break through were actually the same. The boy had a vague hunch that this journey might not be as smooth as he imagined. Guards and so on were external factors. The right thing to do was to increase his strength as soon as possible.
Two hundred years after the Gemini War, there were no longer any pagans among the targets of the Inquisition. However, in the code of the Holy See, pagans were not granted legitimacy. They were in a gray state. In the eyes of most of the Inquisitors, pagans were not bad people, but they were definitely not good people.
"Count, I know that you are wary of me and don't trust my warriors. But I want to remind you that the place we are going to next does not distinguish between Xi Ya believers and pagans. It is only divided between humans and non-humans. In this case, I think we should seek common ground and put aside our differences."
"Yes, although our beliefs are different, our warriors are not completely without similarities. They desire for a safe journey, to avoid fighting alone, to take turns to preserve their fighting strength, and finally, to arrive at Tark Fortress smoothly. These are the common interests of both of us. For this interest, I think we can temporarily put aside the differences in living habits, beliefs, and customs."
"… I understand. Seek common ground and put aside our differences. That is indeed the case."
A week after meeting with the Holy See, a mixed team silently left St. Lorraine in the night. Looking back at the tall City of Angels, Luo Ya's mind flashed with the beautiful figure of the blonde girl. While missing her, he silently made a promise.
The next time I return, I will bring her back. I will.
