Miss Milly is not a high-ranking person. Even in the old empire, before the Dark Blade appeared, she was a real nobody.
The Milly family has made a living by selling wine in North County for generations. Their wine was once one of the most famous drinks in the entire Kingdom of Storms. North County is also home to the Holy Land of the Holy Light Church - North County Monastery. Therefore, Milly grew up in North County.
Miss Li has met many important people with her own eyes.
But this did not bring more benefits to her and her family. Of course, in the old empire, the status of merchants was not high, and Miss Milly grew up day by day.
Her style brought her many suitors, but young Miss Milly did not settle on her marriage so easily.
Until she met Chaldea Morgan, who was the privy bishop of the Kingdom of Stormwind at the time. Due to a secret conflict with Archbishop Benedictus, he was sent to the North County Monastery.
The clergy of the Holy Light Church do not have any taboo against marrying and having children. Although there are many ascetics who are willing to dedicate themselves to their faith, that kind of life is too harsh for ordinary people, so the church will not force the clergy to be abstinent. Of course,
, Believers who truly dedicate everything to their faith are less likely to need worldly emotions to fill the shortcomings in their hearts.
But here's the problem... Chaldea had not yet come into contact with the Blade of the Dark Empire at that time. At the beginning, he was just a pawn arranged by Tyrion in the Kingdom of Stormwind. Under the pressure from both sides, he was originally
The very sincere Chaldean priest had some doubts about his faith. Under the influence of pressure, these doubts led him to have an affair with Miss Milly, who had a crush on him, on a drunken night.
This private relationship lasted for several years. Even after moving north to Northern Xinjiang, the two met frequently. Miss Milly stood behind Chaldea as a "lover", and she was willing to sacrifice herself for this man.
of youth, because she could feel that this seemingly prosperous big man was actually very depressed inside. He was very lonely... He needed a harbor.
If the story continues to develop like this, it will be a good ending for both Chaldea and the easily satisfied Miss Milly, but... fate is never kind to the people it chooses.
The bond with the Blade of Dark Empire in his hand became more and more profound, and he deeply felt the evil will originating from the fifth ancient god.
He is the person who has the most frequent contact with Xalatath. No one knows better than him the dark will of this lazy fifth ancient god and her evil methods of playing with souls. The Archbishop has already used his own body to feed the tiger.
He was deeply entangled in this consciousness, and he could no longer break away from it, but Milly, the woman who had followed him for several years, was innocent.
This was probably the last trace of kindness in Chaldea's dark heart. He gave this kindness to his lover without hesitation, but the way he gave it was too cruel... After absorbing Kurti in the name of the Holy Light Church
After the panic-stricken tide sages in Lars, Chaldea quietly left the woman who had been with him for several years in the dark of night.
He gave her enough wealth to live the rest of her life, and he also used his connections to buy her real estate in the Commonwealth. That estate was the area where Millie's family vineyard was located.
He knew that Xal'atath's strange power was something he couldn't fight against, but there were always people in the world who could deal with Xal'atath, so he sent his lover back to the Federation and sheltered him under Tyrion's wings.
This is the best solution Chaldea can think of.
After cutting off all contact with Millie, Chaldea became a cold shadow archbishop. Although he looked compassionate on the outside, he had no emotions in his heart. It was like he was in trouble with Xalatath and completely degenerated into
The Old God's henchman, he planned the war with C'Thun. After C'Thun died, Xal'atath gave him more powerful power as a reward.
Chaldea knows that that is her future...
Completely integrated with the abyss, and then one day the righteous warriors come to the door, kill them, or be killed by them... That is his ending, the same ending as Benedictus who was framed by him.
..how ironic.
He can read every scripture in the Holy Light Church, and everything he does every day is to "save" souls. However, Chaldea cannot find it in the scriptures that are full of salvation.
The possibility of saving oneself... It seems that every space in the verses on the page is filled with ironic despair.
"There's nothing to be afraid of anymore..."
Chaldea held the ancient scriptures that he had used for several years. He walked in the garden under the dark night. In the gentle tone that a clergy should have, he said to himself for the umpteenth time:
"That's it..."
However, the next moment, that familiar figure appeared in front of him, the woman he thought would never be able to return to his life.
"Bang"
The scripture in Chaldea's hand hit the ground. His eyes were full of astonishment, confusion, anger and a hint of... despair. He couldn't hear the words Milly said. He could only feel the purple color around his waist.
The sarcastic, lazy laughter coming from the ritual dagger seemed to be laughing at Chaldea's self-deception, and it also seemed to be a subtle warning.
The archbishop's heart echoed with the laughter of Huang Zhongda Lu, and his fingers... clenched.
"Milly, why...why do you...come back!"
——————————————————
"No, no, no, my cute little Chaldea, this is not my arrangement..."
Xalatas' lazy voice echoed in Chaldea's mind, and she said playfully:
"This is fate. Yes, fate among mortals, how wonderful it is. My lonely brother has met his beloved girl again. What are you waiting for? Go and hug her."
"No!"
Chaldea pursed her lips and looked at Milly in front of her. She had not seen him for several years. She had become thinner and thinner. She was wearing a black cloak and stood opposite him less than 5 meters away from him with her hands on her hips. The pair of
His eyes shone with indifference and hatred, but with the Chaldean Archbishop's keen sense of people's hearts and emotions, he could clearly feel Miss Milly's inner panic, which was no less than his own.
"My fate with her has ended...and there is no part of her in my future..."
"Don't deceive yourself, you can't hide your thoughts from me."
Xalatas snorted coldly, and the power belonging to the fifth ancient god quietly crawled towards Miss Milly in a weak manner. She must be careful. In this palace, there is a handful that can sense the power of the void.
The legendary weapon, the War Destroyer... That weapon could hurt her, so she had to be careful.
And just before the power of the void was about to touch the ignorant Miss Milly, Chaldea's fingers pressed on the dagger at his waist, and he whispered:
"She doesn't belong in this game."
"Um?"
Xalatath murmured an unknown meaning. On a spiritual level, the fifth ancient god's will seemed to be re-examining its host. Chaldea could even feel the cold, snake-like eyes wandering around him, and for a moment
After that, Xal'atath's voice became hoarse.
"Alas...unknowingly, you and I have been together for so long. In the past time, few people can hold me for so long. I watch you grow from innocence to maturity day by day.
Weakness becomes strong, from vulnerability to determination...I watch your growth, just like a child's play, shaping you bit by bit."
"You and I have adapted to each other...as if we were one!"
"But, when did you have this illusion?"
"Since when did you consider yourself to be my master?!"
"Bang"
The explosion of the soul exploded on Chaldea's spirit like an earth-shattering roar, tearing apart the archbishop's mental protection in an instant. It was like a ruthless long sword, piercing the body from the top of the head, and piercing the body.
The bone-chilling power extended to the marrow of every bone in his body, and the power of the void that distorted and blasphemed all things poured into Chaldea's blood vessels. At this moment, his heart seemed to have been touched by cold fingers.
pinch.
While the heart was beating, blood mixed with ice slag flowed through the heart. At this moment, Chaldea clutched her chest and fell to the ground with a pale face. He couldn't see, he couldn't hear, and he couldn't smell.
To... The peeling off of the senses made the archbishop's soul seem to be stretched to another level, observing the scene in front of him in the darkness from a third perspective.
He saw that after he fell, Miss Milly, who had been indifferent just now, suddenly became panicked. She rushed to him and tried to lift herself up. He saw the nervousness in Milly's eyes, and he knew that
The meaning of each emotion.
His heart sank little by little.
Death is not scary to him now, but it is a kind of relief. Unfortunately, there are always things in this world that are more difficult to accept than death.
"Wow"
During the rapid change of perspective, Chaldea's senses were all restored at this moment. The physical pain still remained in his mind, causing his fingers to twitch. The Archbishop subconsciously wanted to push Miss Milly away. However,
At this moment, Xal'atath's cold and lazy voice sounded in his heart.
"My little Chaldea, you always said you would help me, be of one mind with me, and help me realize the twilight moment... Now, it's time for you to prove yourself."
"Hug her, kiss her, possess her! Just like you have done countless times..."
"Let me see...your sincerity!"
"You...are crazy!"
The archbishop retorted with difficulty in his soul:
"Why didn't I know you could be so crazy?"
"Crazy? Crazy?"
Xal'atas said nonchalantly:
"Having been with me for so long, are you still considering the will of the ancient gods with mortal thinking? Chaos, chaos is the state of our existence. My Chaldea, I am not crazy, I am just your waking nightmare.
...That’s all.”
"Are you really worried that I will hurt this infatuated girl? No, I won't! What you should worry about is you... Do you really think that you are still the same person as before? One day, you will be sleeping
If you strangle her to death, you will personally kill everyone who is kind to you. That is your future, and the struggling feelings in your heart are the last link that hinders your true promotion."
"I have to thank your so-called fate for bringing the key to breaking the situation right in front of me... Love her to your heart's content, Chaldea, put all your passionate feelings into her, and then... kill her with your own hands."
The lingering voice of the fifth ancient god lingered in the heart of the archbishop. Like a close sister, she said to Chaldea gently:
"If you want to have it, you have to abandon it first... You can't look back, Chaldea, you can only move forward."
The archbishop's breathing became smoother, and he was lying in the warm arms of Miss Milly like a patient. The latter helped the archbishop with his eyes closed wipe the sweat from his forehead. The poor girl thought she had just said
The lies specifically designed to stimulate the Archbishop had caused Chaldea to become like this, and she was filled with self-blame.
There is no child at all... Chaldea is a priest. If Miss Milly was pregnant when the two separated, Chaldea could not have known it. It was just a lie used to hurt the heartless man, but until Chaldea
The moment her whole body twitched and collapsed, Miss Milly truly realized that in these years of mental pain, she had never forgotten him.
How easy is it to forget someone you have been with day and night?
"Shua"
Miss Milly's slender wrist was clasped by Chaldea's weak hand. Milly lowered her head and saw Chaldea slowly opening her eyes. In those gentle eyes, there was an undisguised longing.
and love.
"I shouldn't have left you, even in the name of protection..."
"I won't leave you again, I won't be stupid again, you want a child...then let's have a child."
This frank confession made Miss Milly panic for a moment. She didn't know what to say, but the next moment, Chaldea got up from the ground and gently held her in her arms. Under the cover of night,
The two hugged each other tightly, and in the ears of Miss Milly, who was trembling all over, Chaldea closed her eyes and whispered like a dream:
"Follow me...Fall into the abyss with me..."
At midnight, Chaldea sat up from his uncomfortable bed. He looked at the sleeping woman beside him. Her long black hair was spread out on the pillow, which reminded the archbishop of the lust that had risen like a storm before.
Miss Li's astonishing desire and attachment made Chaldea, who had always been peaceful, let go of her inhibitions that night.
Two people who love each other come together again, but unfortunately, this is just the last tender feeling before the end.
Chaldea leaned down and kissed Millie on the forehead, then put on a robe and walked to his study room. Like the most orthodox clergyman, he opened the scripture at hand and began to calmly read this
Read in the dark night.
He skimmed over line after line, and finally stopped at a plain verse.
He stretched out his fingers, stroked the smooth pages, and stopped at a certain line of the scripture. He looked at that word, that word that rarely appeared in the scriptures. He squinted his eyes and looked at the place where
Beside, the purple dagger seemed to be dormant.
Finally, he closed the scripture, took out another one, and started reading with a normal expression, but that word kept popping up in his heart. It was the thing he hated most, and it seemed to represent something other than despair and depravity.
The third option...
"Death!(Death)..."
The next moment, Chaldea's low chanting sounded in the room, representing the final end of the night.
"Everyone in the world walks like a lost lamb, but you can always return if you go astray. The holy light will always exist behind all souls. You only need to look back to see..."
