The golden-armored knight silently followed behind the woman, blindly following her every step.
She was a woman with a very high authority in the new church … Ever since the humans retreated from Lapuda, a large number of new nobles had emerged among the survivors in just a few decades.
Miss Isabelle was one of the best among these new nobles.
Not only was she beautiful, but she also had amazing skills. Other than that, she was also fatally attractive to both men and women.
However, such an excellent woman was still single, even though the number of suitors could line up all the way to the city gate.
"Lady Isabelle, please."
In front of the Pope's study, the guard respectfully welcomed Isabelle into the room. She looked at the old man inside.
He looked like he had one foot in the grave. No matter how you looked at him, he didn't look like he would live for more than a few days. However, he managed to stay alive until today.
Other than relying on the excellent team of doctors, it was more because he secretly took some forbidden drugs.
"You're here, Isabelle."
"Pope."
The Pope took off his glasses and pinched his eyebrows. "You probably know why I asked you to come."
"I know a little." Isabelle nodded.
"What do you think?" The Pope looked up and asked. The old man's eyes were full of spirit, which was completely different from his decaying body.
"The old nobles clung to the glory of the sunset. They can't keep up with the development of La Puda," Isabelle said calmly. "There are too many nobles in La Puda. We can simplify it when the time is right."
The Pope pondered for a moment and made a decision. "Then I'll leave it to you. Isabelle, I know you can solve this problem perfectly."
"There's nothing perfect in this world." Isabelle shook her head. "This will be a terrible thing."
The Pope sighed. "We don't have much time. La Puda can't hold on for much longer. You know that."
Of course, she knew.
This was a huge city floating in the sky above the continent. After 15 years of overloaded operation, its resources were almost exhausted.
"We need a new source of energy," the Pope said in a low voice. "We have to open the door in the City of God Blessing again."
"My people are already working hard," Isabelle said slowly. "Perhaps, there will be news soon."
"I hope so." The old man slowly closed his eyes.
He waved his hand, and Isabelle left without a word.
The old man's body was too weak. He couldn't maintain the office for more than two hours a day. The rest of the time, he could only rely on sleeping.
When Isabelle arrived at the door, she looked back at the old man on the chair for the last time … The old man had already lowered his head.
Elohim.
The name of the Pope.
…
…
It used to be the throne of the Pope of the [God Bless the Church]. Now, it belonged to the [Earl Rose].
[Rose Countess], who was sitting on the throne, looked very elegant. It was just that her appearance was a little sloppy. Of course, that could be ignored.
He owned the entire [City of God Blessing].
Under the throne, the owner of the dungeon stood alone. That muscular man also stood there … Then, a few warriors in black armor brought [Yu Liya] over.
The senior sister didn't scold the black-armored warriors for being immoral. She just stared blankly at the girl standing beside [Rose Countess] — Ke Lili.
Then, it was [Rose Countess].
[Assaches … the owner of [Rose Mansion]. I was right.]
[Rose Countess], who was sitting on the throne, held her chin and tapped her temple with her fingers. The atmosphere in the palace was very quiet … Her eyes suddenly fell on the owner of the dungeon.
"Your name is Allen?"
"That's right." The owner of the dungeon stood up.
[Rose Countess] frowned and said slowly, "I heard from my men that you once called yourself a vampire hunter … [D]?"
The owner of the dungeon, Mr. Allen, didn't say anything and turned his head away.
[Rose Countess] shook her head and said, "I don't know if you touched the inheritance of a vampire hunter, but you … are definitely not [D]."
The owner of the dungeon looked back. The iron mask completely covered his expression, but it couldn't hide his narrowed eyes.
[Rose Countess] sighed and said, "I can give you a chance to live. As long as you remove the [Mind Rewriting] spell on K Er Lili … I can let bygones be bygones for what you planned this time."
"How can you guarantee that?" The owner of the dungeon was silent for a while and asked tentatively.
"No promise. It's up to you." [Rose Countess] said calmly, "I can also remove the [Mind Rewriting] spell. It will only take me a few days. If you don't want this chance to live, then take her down … send her out and execute her outside the square as a warning to others. "
Instantly, a group of murderous black-armored warriors walked toward the owner of the dungeon, Mr. Allen.
Boss Assaches has changed … Senior Sister Yu Liya couldn't help but blink her eyes. This guy is no longer the salted fish that he used to be. Now, he looks like a domineering CEO.
However, his decisiveness in doing things is similar to that of Ms. Maid in the shop.
"Prepare some materials for me!" the owner of the dungeon said in a deep voice … from his heart.
"Take him down first." [Rose Countess] waved her hand. "Satisfy his request."
Two black-armored warriors grabbed the owner of the dungeon with both hands and quickly escorted him out of the main hall … [Rose Countess]'s gaze finally landed on the muscular man.
"Name."
"Hercules."
"Never heard of it." [Rose Countess] tilted her head. "You … where did you find the silver dust bullets on you?"
The muscular man … the muscular man who called himself Hercules said simply, "I found it in a ruin. It should be a former stronghold of the [God Bless Church]."
[Rose Countess]'s eyes lit up slightly. "A stronghold of the [God Bless Church]? What else is there besides weapons? "
"That stronghold has been severely damaged," Hercules said. Hercules said, "There are only a small number of usable weapons. The rest are mostly useless."
[Rose Countess] looked for a black-armored warrior. Then, she looked at Hercules and said, "Wait, he will lead a team of warriors. Take them to that stronghold and bring everything back … Remember, everything, even if it's just a piece of scrap paper. Hercules, when you come back, I can pardon your sins and let you continue to live here. "
"Really?" Hercules's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to be pleasantly surprised.
[Rose Countess] said, "Before you leave, send your family, friends, or one of your subordinates to me. When you come back, I will pick them up. "
Hercules's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.
"You can leave too." [Rose Countess] waved her hand again, and she was still quite decisive.
…
…
When only [Yu Liya] was left, there were suddenly no more black-armored warriors in the hall … These black-armored warriors had been ordered to leave by [Rose Countess].
[Rose Countess] suddenly asked after a moment of silence, "Do you know who I am?"
[Yu Liya] replied tentatively, "You are … the master of the [God Bless City]."
But [Rose Countess] shook her head.
[Yu Liya] looked at K e Lili, who happened to be looking at her … There seemed to be some encouragement in her eyes?
The senior gritted her teeth and decided to save the trouble. She directly laid her cards on the table and said, "I know you are K e Lili's boss, Mr. Assaches of [Rose Mansion] … the descendant of the Sage Family!"
However, [Rose Countess] still shook her head at this moment and even sighed.
K e Lili looked at the man on the throne beside her in surprise … and [Yu Liya] couldn't help but show a confused expression.
"Tsk." [Rose Countess] sighed slowly. "Ms. Yu Liya, how can you forget me … I'm the honorary president of your fan club."
[Yu Liya]'s eyes widened.
She suddenly felt like beating this guy to death. What should she do?
…
"A-Honorary president??"
"It's just in name." [Rose Countess] chuckled and showed a nostalgic expression. "I'm just the founder. With a group of like-minded friends, we formed a fan club for Holy Maiden. However, those guys would change their wives every few years. Later, I felt that it was meaningless, so I temporarily quit. However, my name is still there. "
K e Lili looked at this man suspiciously.
Due to [Mind Rewriting], her memory was in a mess, and she couldn't connect the dots … but subconsciously, she didn't seem to agree with him … She felt like it was because [Mansion] didn't have much business afterward, and Boss Assaches couldn't take out the funds. He was also afraid of being despised by his friends, so he used the excuse of not working together.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." [Rose Countess] smiled faintly. "Ms. Yu Liya, I know you have a lot of questions in your heart, and so do I. However, too many things happened today, and the sun is about to rise … So, if you have anything to say, let's leave it for another night. "
That's it?
[Yu Liya] couldn't help but frown … Should I take off my disguise and go to the toilet?
In that case, he should be able to speak properly, right?
"This is better. I … I need to calm down." [Yu Liya] nodded slowly. Most importantly, she discovered that [Eleven] had disappeared again!
…
…
[Rose Countess] didn't immediately return to the library, even though her rationality kept urging her to go back.
However, she still went to the underground prison of the castle first.
This was the place where [God Bless the Church] used to imprison some terrifying vampires and thugs. Even the war 15 years ago didn't affect the facilities in this prison.
The guards who were guarding this place had been ordered to leave.
[Rose Countess] stood in front of Nosta. Nosta's hands were pierced by iron hooks, and his whole body was hanging from the ground.
"Assaches … Let me go … Let me go!" Mr. Nosta raised his head with difficulty, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes. "We … We … We are …"
"I didn't kill you directly because we came from the same place," [Rose Countess] said indifferently. Rose Countess said calmly, "Mr. Norsta, do you know that you've ruined my trust in you? Trust is a good thing. How could you ruin it?"
"Those are just food!" Mr. Nosta's face was filled with madness. "Assaches, I'm your friend! I'm the only one who knows where you came from. I'm the only one who can talk to you about the things you want to talk about … I'm your only friend! "
"I'm not that reclusive." [Rose Countess] shook her head. "Plus, I'm afraid I can't afford to have a friend like you as a grand scholar … I was tricked by another grand scholar in the past."
"You mean … Calvin?" Mr. Nosta seemed to have thought of something and subconsciously frowned.
"That's not important." [Rose Countess] sighed slowly. "Mr. Nosta, this is the last time I see you … This will be your home in the future. After becoming a vampire, you've forgotten the purpose of being a free person. According to the saint's words, we're free and shouldn't be bound by anything. Now, you've become a slave to bloodlust … Please, reflect on yourself. "
After saying that, [Rose Countess] turned around and left without hesitation.
Mr. Nosta let out an angry roar in the cage. "You … You f * cking bastard!! The saint didn't say that!! I'm the leader of the Purcell school, how could I not know?! I can recite the saint's words backwards!! Come back!! Assaches!! You — come back!! Ah!! "
The [Rose Earl] had already covered his ears and walked away with small steps, as if he didn't recognize anyone.
…
…
"Bo … Bo … Boss …"
She used all her strength to shout this incomparably familiar name … in the depths of the castle's library.
"Don't force yourself." [Rose Countess] gently rubbed K Forehead Lili's head.
After returning to the library, he no longer had that terrifying pressure … He was like an otaku, like a salted fish, like the boss of [Rose Mansion] in her memory.
"Let me show you something," [Rose Countess] suddenly said.
The girl opened her mouth slightly.
[Rose Countess] walked to a bookshelf and turned on the mechanism. Then, the bookshelf slowly moved aside, revealing a secret passage that led underground.
He took an oil lamp and walked into the secret passage … The girl hurriedly followed.
"I've been here for more than 16 years." [Rose Countess]'s voice came from the front of the passage. "These years, many things have happened … These things even made me forget who I am. If you didn't come this time, perhaps I would continue to stay here until one day, completely forgetting my original appearance. "
"Bo … Boss …"
The girl quickly stepped forward and reached out to grab his arm, exerting force.
"I'm just kidding." [Rose Countess] smiled and shook her head. "Just kidding … How can I forget who I am? Even if I want to forget, he … won't let me. "
'He?'
The girl subconsciously raised her head.
This was the end of the secret passage.
[Rose Countess] raised the oil lamp in her hand and illuminated the space in front of her.
"This, this … this …" The girl couldn't organize her words.
It was a stone platform, and a black-haired man was lying on top of the stone platform – there was a sharp sword stabbed into the man's body!
"The most powerful vampire hunter." [Rose Countess] … Mr. Assaches murmured. "[D] …"
"He … he … he is?"
"I don't know." Mr. Assaches shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Maybe, maybe not … But he can't tell me the answer now, can he?"
