"Is it true? Although I have some guesses, alas..."
After listening to Dante and Letty's narration, Beja shook her head with a complex expression, sighed, and said with a wry smile.
"Actually... Dante can't be blamed for what happened here!"
At this time, Tracy interrupted.
After hearing Trish's words, Beya nodded slowly, and then said:
"Sigh... There are many reasons why Virgil has come so far, and we can't say that he died in your hands..."
After finishing speaking, before Dante could speak, Beja added:
"If my inference is correct, after Vergil fell into the demon world, he encountered the Demon Emperor and was defeated.
The one who died in your hands is just a "corpse" without self-awareness, so you don't actually need to feel guilty. If he really knows, with his pride, even if he dies, he will not let himself
Becoming the Demon Emperor’s puppet!”
……………
Beja's words made all three people in the room fall into silence. Yes, who can be blamed for this?
Finally, Dante, who was in a complicated mood, spoke first:
"Perhaps, I went down with my brother, or handed the thing to him directly..."
I didn’t speak the unfinished words. Maybe silence is the best word.
After a long while, after accepting the answer that she had realized a long time ago, Beja took a deep breath and talked about another thing.
"Stop talking about the past. Both I and Angelo have to accept the future in the near future instead of blindly living in the past. So, Dante, Letty, and Tracy, I want to ask you
One thing for you..."
"Are you talking about Angelo?"
Like a prophet who predicts the future, Dante immediately received Beja's words as soon as he finished speaking.
"Yeah! Yes, I think you have also seen what Angelo looks like now. After so many years, I have some conjectures of my own about Virgil, a mysterious man.
Maybe, if your mother was still alive, Virgil would never be like this, so I hope you can help me take care of Angelo, I don’t want him to follow his father’s old path again!”
After Beja finished speaking, Dante thought for a while, looked at the direction of the door, suddenly smiled, and said:
"Ah! Well, this is actually not necessary. At least, in my opinion, he is much stronger than my idiot brother, and..."
Perhaps knowing what Dante said next, Beja shook her head slightly and retorted:
"No! That's not what I'm talking about. Maybe it's because I blindly avoided it back then. The pursuit of those humans has left scars on Angelo's heart. Maybe he doesn't care about demons, but..."
Having said this, Bea paused for a moment, perhaps thinking of what had happened before, and continued with a guilty look on her face:
"I don't want him to be an enemy of mankind, and now you, whether as his uncle or the son of Sparta, you have the responsibility and obligation to guide him, at least, don't let him become like his father...
"
After saying that, Beja looked at Dante with extremely hopeful eyes. Just when Dante was about to say something, Tracy and Letty on the side agreed instantly.
Looking at the reactions of the two women, Dante shrugged helplessly and continued to ask:
"Okay! My dear sister-in-law, what about you? What are your plans next time?"
Dante asked with a puzzled look on his face. He knew very well that his cheap sister-in-law was not a cheap person. Although he didn't know what her plans were later, maybe it had something to do with that boy...
"Ha! Later... I have to go back. Anyway, no matter what my second child was out of, whether it was concern or worry, I abandoned him in the orphanage regardless of the more than ten years.
, this is an indisputable fact, so I want to go back to fulfill the responsibilities of a mother."
After saying the guilt-filled words, the three of them all sighed. Before they could speak, Beya's tone suddenly became extremely sharp, and then she spoke with chilling words:
"Then, the second thing is to destroy the Demon Sword Church. I must destroy it!"
The coldness revealed in the decisive tone made all three of them stunned, and then Tracy asked:
"Why, in terms of true relationship, your family has a deep connection with the Demonic Sword Church. Could it be that they have also hunted you down?"
"No!"
Beja denied it for a moment, then looked at Letty and asked with a smile:
"When I talked about the Demonic Sword Church earlier, you looked a little bad. Tell me what you think! Letty!"
It was as if Beiya was the owner of this place. Being mentioned in such a tone always felt a little wrong, but then she suppressed this thought and spoke out what she had seen and heard these days:
"How should I put it? These knights in the church have seriously affected my business, and they also collect demon corpses and some magic tools everywhere, just like yours!"
At the end of the sentence, Letty pointed at Dante, who seemed to have thought of something and suddenly laughed:
"Perhaps they want to open a zoo and a good museum. Because the church has insufficient funds, it must attract traffic..."
"Damn! You guy..."
Before Dante finished speaking, Letty suddenly slapped Dante's raised right hand and scolded him with an annoyed look on his face.
Seeing this scene, Beiya, who didn't want to disturb this moment, saw the three people casting inquiring glances, shook her head slightly helplessly, and then added:
"Is this all you are searching for? It's not enough. Take a look at this letter..."
With that said, Beiya took out an opened envelope from the travel bag placed on the bedside and handed it to the three of them.
In addition to a letter, there was also a photo that seemed to be a staged photo. The background of the photo was a huge opera house.
A white-haired boy above clenched his fists with an unconvinced expression.
In front of him was a young man about 25 years old who was saying something seriously, and next to him was a pretty blond girl who was pulling the white-haired boy, as if to stop him...
"Wow! This kid should be my younger brother, hmm~, it seems like he already has a girlfriend at a young age, which is much better than a guy who has nothing to do except fight!"
"Well! Although it's a bit bad to say this, but this time I agree with what you said!"
The three of them stared at the photo. First, Letty, who had an inexplicable smile on her face, commented, and then Tracy quickly agreed.
When Dante saw this scene, he grabbed the envelope with an impatient expression, then glanced at the photo with some "careless" glance, and then opened the letter paper, only to see a piece of paper printed with white petals, with Juanxiu's font densely engraved on it.
On paper:
:——Dear/Ms. Beja, after you read this letter, you should buy a bouquet of orchids to celebrate. Yes, I am not dead. Are you very happy? Forget it, stop talking nonsense_
___--_
As you said these days, something is really wrong with the Pope and the people in the Knights. They seem to be collecting something, just like the ones I saw at your house when I was a child.
Moreover, according to my observation, many people have disappeared recently, and they seem to be holding some kind of ceremony. The successful people say they were chosen by "gods", and the failed ones... My God, where did the failed ones go?
?
When I wrote this, I was surprised myself, and I was horrified when I thought about it. To be honest, I actually don’t know what will happen to the successful ones.
But, at least now because of you, I don’t have to worry about praying, just my stupid son and husband
, because I have been having trouble with this matter for a long time. They think that they will definitely be chosen by "gods", and I don't know where it has been spread recently that "their" purpose of all this is for a "savior"?
Maybe it's just a rumor... It's so nerve-wracking to think about it all...
Having said this, I get very angry every time I think of my son and husband! The word "FK" cannot express my inner anger.
What's even more annoying is that I can't reveal this "you and me" thing. OMG, you must make it up to me when you come back, otherwise I will pinch you as hard as I did when I was a kid.
Blast your little face!
Oh! By the way, remember what I told you about the black stone monument in the coal mine clearing and Destiny Castle Square?
By the way, you guessed it right, I recently heard that the church built another black holy monument in the forest near the headquarters.
Although I don’t know why the church built those useless holy monuments and didn’t carve any words on them,
At first I thought I would carve the names of some victims or knights who died in battle, but no, the big holy monument in the center of the city has names.
Okay, okay! When you see this, you will definitely say that there is something wrong with my eyes. Have you been expecting something?
Well! It must be your precious second son "Nero", haha, please forgive me for saying it now, that boy has been doing very well recently,
Although I don’t know what he is doing for the church, every time I mention that kid, he always looks like he’s eaten a fly, and then excuses himself with the so-called “some dirty work”.
Oh! By the way, there is a recent photo attached to the envelope. The boy seems to be entangled with the leader of the Knights, Credo's sister. I can only say that it is good to be young.
But ~ the day before yesterday or the day after tomorrow, the boy was injured, well... you must have felt a little bit in your heart! Oh, I lied to you, the boy only got scratched on his right hand, in order to save the girl!
Just the one in the photo——
Sigh... When I talk about this, I think of the cold-faced man in the blue coat. Forget it, I won’t talk about it anymore.
Just one more thing to add, don’t think I’m verbose!
If you come back recently, you'd better be careful. Whether it's here in the church or around the town, it's very uneasy——
I think with your knowledge and wisdom, you will be able to tell something from this letter...
Okay, I'm almost done writing, but it's still the old rule, no time within three months, if you don't reply for more than three months, it's very likely, forget it, it's not all...
Finally, you are a woman living abroad with a child. I think that boy should be about the same age as my son! That's right, after all, I "picked up" my brother...
Forget it, you must be more careful in the future. Although I haven’t seen you for more than ten years, I don’t want to lose you as a guy...
Sincerely - your best friend! Marit??Chris??Lawrence
…………————————————
Putting down the letters in their hands, the three of them looked at Beiya thoughtfully, and then heard Beiya slowly speaking out the information contained in the letter:
"The things they collected are magic tools, just like what Letty said, and the imitation black holy monument is the Gate of Hell. The ritual is probably to forcefully pour the power of the devil into the human body through some unknown means.
, this is also one of the reasons for collecting demon corpses..."
Speaking of this, Bea paused for a moment, a cold light flashed in her bright eyes, and then connected everything together and told the three people:
"As for the so-called "savior"? If I'm good, they collected magic tools and built the gate to hell, probably just to stage a so-called "modern god-making" trick. I can't believe that my grandfather
The worries back then have become an unchangeable fact..."
After saying that, Beja sighed and added a few words at the end:
"As for those chosen by "gods", I think you should know what this means, and at the end of the letter, it is... injured. I am worried that his... identity may be exposed due to the infection of the devil.
, I think you should know that if all this is true, then..."
When Nero was mentioned twice, Beja's guilt was palpable. At the end of the sentence, she even seemed to see the future in the near future, and the worried look in her eyes lingered for a long time...
After taking a look at Bea's worried look, Letty thought for a while and quickly comforted her in a joking tone:
"It seems that I have company this time! Dante, what do you think? Oh! I think you don't have any objection either. Let's just treat it as a trip this time!"
"Yeah! I think so! Let's see who is faster then!"
Letty's words made Tracy nodded in agreement. The latter looked at Dante and spoke in a provocative tone.
Although she was very grateful to Leti and Tracy for agreeing to act together, but thinking of the power of the church, Beja shook her head gently and declined:
"Why don't you go? Although for you, or... Virgil, the church may not be vulnerable at all, but for you, or for us humans, it is still a legacy.
A behemoth of more than two thousand years, even..."
At the end, Beja sighed as she remembered her grandfather's advice.
When Tracy and Letty saw Beja's appearance, they were about to speak out to comfort them. Dante, who was "passive" and silent, finally found the opportunity to speak:
"Hey, my dear sister-in-law doesn't need to worry about this. After all, these two women are the most dangerous women in the world, and didn't you also say so? I am the "Son of God",
What you should be thinking about now is how to explain all this to this kid Angelo. After all, to him, my stupid brother..."
At the end of the sentence, Dante did not say the following words, but Beja, who was leaning on the bed, nodded thoughtfully, then looked outside and shouted:
"Angelo! Come in!"
At this time, Angelo, who was resting downstairs, heard his mother's call and immediately ran up to the second floor. When he opened the door, he saw the four of them looking "happy", as if they had known each other for a long time...
…
This is impossible. He shook his head and suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind. Angelo asked with a puzzled look on his face:
"Mom! Why did it take so long to say it? It's almost dawn outside. Even if it's a thank you, it won't take so long, right?"
After saying that, he looked at Dante and the other three with wary expressions. Indifference, wariness, and instinctive "distrust" expressions appeared in the eyes of the four of them.
Angelo's expression made all three people, except Beja, stunned for a moment. Maybe they were worried when they were downstairs, so they didn't notice anything. But now, the three people who knew everything saw Angelo.
His expression was inexplicably distressed...
"Alas~..."
With a long sigh, Beja lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed when Angelo's extremely cold and gloomy voice echoed in the room:
"Hmph! Humble humans, put away your eyes, we don't need your pity! Let me see your eyes next time, I really don't mind killing you!"
As he spoke, his right hand slowly grasped the handle of the knife...
Seeing Angelo's appearance, before Beja could start scolding him, Dante smiled and said in an indifferent tone:
"Ah? Well, it looks like you really need some training, that bastard dad of yours..."
Having said this, almost as soon as the "bastard dad" said it, perhaps it stimulated Angelo, who was like a frightened lone wolf...
He suddenly grasped the handle of the knife, and then, for a moment, the thought that flashed through his mind made him let go of the handle, and then his right hand, like lightning, instantly grabbed Dante's neck, and the latter also "cooperated" and turned over.
He rolled his eyes. At this moment, an extremely cold aura, like an icy sharp blade, enveloped the room...
"Hmph! You despicable human being, my father is the son of the noble Sparta. No matter how "bastard" he is, he is not someone you, a despicable human being, can slander..."
For a moment, when the cold words echoed in the ears of the three women, the three of them reacted to the changes just now. Seeing this, Beiya scolded:
"Angelo, stop it!"
"I don't! Who allowed this despicable human being to slander my father..."
"Angelo, let him go quickly, things are not what you think!"
"Mother? Humph! Although I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup you poured into my mother..."
Seeing Angelo still looking murderous, Beja sighed softly, and then suddenly shouted:
"Let go! He's your uncle!"
As soon as these words came out, the extremely cold aura that enveloped the room instantly stagnated. Then all three of them saw Angelo startled for a moment, and then slowly released his right hand that was holding Dante's neck.
, an expression of complete disbelief...
As for Dante, after being put down, he pretended to cough twice, then took a "big breath" of air and responded in a tone that seemed to be appreciative:
"Cough! Huh~~, cough! You brat, your hands are quite strong. They are even bigger than my brother's. Ahem!"
After saying that, he coughed one last time, and then passed his right hand across his chest while covering his neck. The four people in the room suddenly saw the shadow of a scarlet demon disappearing...
It should be said that what was more shocking than the moment when the three women saw the fleeting shadow was that Angelo not only saw it, but also sensed it, that kind of blood connection, and even...
…
"Are you really my uncle who doesn't even have a name?"
For a long time, Angelo showed an expression of disbelief and asked uncertainly in a trembling voice.
Seeing Angelo's reaction, Dante felt very complicated at the moment. After all, he was not ready yet...
Well, this time for the first time Dante hated that things were developing so casually, just like his whim character.
"Well! If your bastard father is really named Virgil, then he must be the same person as my old brother!"
After speaking in a half-joking tone, Dante's heart trembled slightly as he looked at Angelo's extremely complicated expression.
Really, really, the uncle who only existed in his mother's dictation, and even his mother didn't know the specific name, was now standing in front of him...
How could it be, how could it be like this, wait, if this is really the case, then father...
His face has changed several times, and he hasn't looked like this for a long time since he was ten years old...
"Where is my father? If you are really his brother and my uncle, then you must know where my father is?"
As soon as Angelo said these words, he saw something wrong with Dante's face. It was impossible for a guy like him to show such an expression...
The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. Angelo turned to look at the other two women, and finally looked at his mother. He said nothing, but the look in his eyes said more than anything else in his words.
"He's dead!"
Beja responded with a complex expression.
After thinking for a long time, facing Angelo and her own son, Beja really couldn't figure out what kind of lie could be used to deceive him, and even if it was really deceived, how long could it be deceived...
Thinking of this, looking at Angelo's expression at the moment, from confusion, confusion, and disbelief at the beginning, to doubt, anger, and finally an extremely crazy look, Beja's heart was like a knife...
"Impossible! Impossible. My father is the son of the noble Sparta. He will never die. He will never die. Didn't you say that he is the son of God? And you, you, you must be lying to me.
…”
The extremely angry words were almost yelled out. After saying them almost repeatedly, Angelo pointed at his mother and the other three people in the room with tears in his eyes. This action he had never done before.
Even in the end, Angelo grabbed Dante's collar with both hands, pushed him against the wall, and shouted angrily:
"What on earth did you tell her? Aren't you my father's brother? If you can live, why would he die? You must be lying to me! Where is he? Where is he?"
The angry roars and the cracks in the wall due to constant impact all revealed Angelo's extremely restless heart at this moment.
In fact, if you use force, you can easily break free from Angelo's restraints. However, at this moment, maybe you will feel a little more comfortable if you let the young man in front of you pick up the long blade hanging on your waist and chop yourself twice.
Bar………
Thinking of this, Dante's eyes flashed with extremely guilty light. At this moment, Dante didn't want to say anything at all.
What to say? What to say? No matter how much you say, the facts that have been formed cannot be changed. After all...
"Angelo! Let go, calm down, Angelo..."
After shouting a few words, the house was almost hit by Dante who was pushed by Angelo. Beja gritted his teeth, suddenly opened the quilt covering his body, and then pulled Anjie who had lost his mind.
Luo, finally......
"Crack!"
An extremely loud slap followed by a red palm print appeared on Angelo's face. The latter turned his head in disbelief and saw Beja with a trace of sadness in his eyes...
"Now, have you calmed down?"
First she asked, and when she saw Angelo's tearful eyes, Beja closed her eyes, maybe because she didn't want to see...
Seeing his mother close her eyes, the tears streaming down the corners of her eyes were like a bomb exploding in Angelo's heart.
At this moment, the once extremely cold reason, the extremely cruel heart when facing the devil, and when facing the human beings who did not want to do anything,
That cold face like a knife, at this moment, after more than ten years of wandering, being hunted, and even having his life involuntarily controlled, the face has not changed,
Under this slap, when a teardrop fell to the ground, all the grievances turned into tears and poured out.
"I... I just... just want to know where... my father is. If, if, he was here, we wouldn't... we wouldn't abandon the newborn brother, and we wouldn't live like this.
If you live a wandering, fugitive life, you won’t have to experience life and death a few times, or even...even..."
The unspoken words at this moment were covered by sobs. Forced to stabilize his emotions, Angelo shouted almost with all his strength:
"It doesn't matter what I do, but you, mother, I can't protect you, you know? I can't protect you! If my father is here, if he is here..."
Speaking of this, the emotions that were already on the verge of collapse suddenly...
Looking at Angelo, who was sitting on the ground and crying like a child, Letty wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and glanced at Dante...
Dante's mood at this moment...maybe...at this moment, that kind of mood cannot be expressed in words... After a long time, Dante opened his mouth to comfort:
"Cry it out, it will be okay, after all, Devil May Cry!"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the wall in front of him that was on the verge of collapse. Maybe his heart was just like this wall...
"Although I always say that I have grown up, I am still a child!"
Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Beja took the handkerchief from Tracy, and then handed it to Angelo, who took it and threw it to the ground...
Then, Beya picked up the handkerchief on the ground, handed it over again, and then said slowly:
"Your father chose to open the door to the Demon Realm because of his pursuit of powerful power. Later, your uncle stopped him. The two had a fight. Then your father lost. He was not convinced, so he stayed in the Demon Realm. Finally, he was discovered by the Demon Emperor.
, your father fought with the Demon Emperor and was defeated. The Yan Demon Sword he carried was broken into pieces, and the body... was transformed into a weapon..."
At the end of the sentence, Beja glanced at Dante, and then said
"As for the Demon Emperor, he has been re-sealed by your uncle. Maybe it's because your father has nothing, so he pursues it, but you are different. At least, you still have me and your uncle, and will do so in the future.
Meet your brother..."
When we got to the back, we couldn't hear clearly what was said. At this moment, Angelo's eyes showed confusion for the first time. If his father's path was wrong, if his father...
Dante, who had turned around and saw all this, smiled unexpectedly, patted Angelo on the shoulder, and said with words of encouragement:
"If you don't know what to do in the future, then go look for more powerful power."
Dante's words stunned everyone. Under Angelo's disbelieving gaze, Dante's explanation contained words of encouragement and he spoke slowly:
"Maybe it's just like what your mother said. My stupid brother has nothing, but you are different. Don't you want to protect your mother? Besides, at least now, all the suffering is over, isn't it?"
Before he finished speaking like a rhetorical question, Dante pretended to stretch out his left hand towards the slowly rising sun on the window sill, then slowly tightened it and said:
"That's probably how it came about: I love you Moerpawa!"
At this moment, perhaps because he had found his goal again, or perhaps he was just influenced by this cheap uncle he had never met before, Angelo's confused eyes disappeared and were replaced by eyes that were more determined than before.
At this time, looking at the slowly rising sun outside the window, Angelo squeezed out a smile on his slightly sad face, and then corrected:
"Yes, all the suffering is over, or in other words, your posture should be like this: I need more power!"
At this moment, the slowly rising sunlight passed through the window sill and shone into the house, slowly lengthening the shadows of the two people...
