At this moment, a soft and intellectual voice sounded.
With a burst of rainbow-colored light, a girl with white hair and white eyes, wearing a black and red robe, appeared out of thin air behind everyone with a wave of nothingness.
When Aiwass saw her, his expression was a little complicated for a moment.
So this is the pure white he saw before...
He nodded slightly and greeted softly: "His Majesty the Pope."
"Don't call me His Majesty the Pope," the young Eternal Pope said with a smile, but his voice was as gentle as a mother's and a teacher's. "From now on, just call me Ruoan."
Once out of the battle, her voice immediately softened.
Her sharp and tough tone before was like that of a teacher who was stopping a child from doing something dangerous. It was like a nursing mother protecting her cubs, with red eyes, as if she would immediately go crazy if she came close again.
Bite each other.
And as she calmed down completely, a gentle and quiet temperament emerged from this seemingly slender little girl.
That is completely different from Ligeia's careless old Lolita style - even if Ligeia pretends to be a little bit, outsiders can easily tell that she does not belong to this age group. But even though the Eternal Pope has a transcendent
She is gentle and steady despite her age, but she doesn't seem to have the slightest sense of disobedience.
At this moment, the ceiling of the temple belonging to the Silver Crowned Dragon has been completely torn down, and the sunlight is shining directly on her. Joan's too fair skin reflects an intoxicating pure brilliance under the light.
"Ruoan..."
Aiwass murmured.
He had heard this name from Si Zhu before.
"My name is Joan Eternal."
Her voice was mixed with strong joy, and there was a sense of beauty of finally retiring gloriously: "When I step down as pope, I will become a saint... Then, I will have to call you His Majesty the Pope."
"It's better to just call me Aiwass. After all, I'm not the real pope. So, should I call you Ms. Joan?"
Aiwass nodded soberly and politely, and then complained softly: "Why did you just leave so quickly..."
"I had to save those who were being attacked and tortured."
The Eternal Pope put his hand on his chest, his face showed a divine radiance, and his long eyelashes fluttered: "As for you... I believe in you."
"...I don't even believe in myself, Your Majesty the Pope."
Cardinal Dominic on the side complained: "That is a sixth-level perfect man - that is, he is not good at fighting, otherwise we will all die here."
"When I saw him use that move, I knew you couldn't lose."
The Eternal Pope explained: "I saw that move when I was a child. It is a 'creation technique' that extracts the essence of life. Once it is started, it cannot be interrupted... Just like high-level prayers and rituals, there is no
The spell can be easily interrupted. Once interrupted, the caster will suffer backlash, especially for the art of creation.
"That guy is a real fool. I believe you can handle this kind of not-so-smart person."
"really."
Aivas nodded in agreement.
In a battle with one enemy and many enemies, suddenly using this kind of guidance spell that cannot be forcibly interrupted... The Eternal Pope is still too ladylike, and we generally call such people idiots.
Aiwass didn't even summon the little crow - he still had enough energy left to kill this guy beyond the level.
Although the damage is mainly caused by the honey badger, Aiwass does have ways to deal with him.
Even the honey badger couldn't help but laugh: "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen someone who didn't react after being attacked three times..."
"Because this kind of idiot usually dies in the first move, right?" Aiwass's lips raised.
"yes!"
The honey badger couldn't help laughing: "Didn't he notice that if there is fire in front of him, there must be a shadow behind it?"
"After all, he is a believer of Xiong Tiansi... From this point of view, it is quite appropriate."
Aiwass joked.
"...Are there actually people in Avalon who believe in Xiong Tiansi?"
Honey Badger couldn't help but take a breath: "That's true. He already believes in Xiong Tiansi, so whatever he does seems reasonable."
Obviously, Honey Badger also knows the origin of Xiong Tiansi.
Ruo'an took advantage of this moment and introduced to the much relaxed Honey Badger: "The person in front of you, the current acting pope, personally participated in the downfall of Xiong Tiansi not long ago."
The honey badger's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Aiwass in disbelief.
Tiansi’s…fall?
Is this really something that extraordinary beings in the material world can do?
You are only at the fourth level, right?!
"Aiwass is right," Ruoan's expression became more serious, "We will not kill you - to silence you for the sake of confidentiality is too rough, not civilized at all, and too wasteful.
.”
The honey badger pursed her lips and said nothing.
...After all, Hawkeye has always dealt with people who may leak secrets in this way.
When things go wrong, silence them first.
After all, they are an organization that is purely adapted to the road. The smartest people in the organization are a group of liars who don't know whether they can be trusted. There are not many truly smart people, but there are quite a few cowards.
In order to avoid leaking secrets and causing the matter to affect oneself, colleagues who may leak secrets or betray are secretly executed, which is something that happens almost every day. There is even a master assassin who is responsible for killing his own people.
...But now, she has come to the real civilized world, and she feels a little uncomfortable for a while.
but……
"waste?"
The honey badger was a little confused: "Does the Theocracy lack a fifth-level person like me?"
"There is definitely no shortage," Ruoan said patiently, "but we lack an expert on the Moon Children like you. We have been paying attention to the harm caused by the Moon Children to mankind for many years."
Upon hearing this, the honey badger's eyes suddenly lit up.
She asked with some urgency: "Is the Theocracy finally going to take action against the Children of the Moon? Is it going to punish the Children of the Moon in Iris?"
"Unfortunately, it's unlikely."
Ruoan shook his head.
"Why don't you care..."
The honey badger is a little hard to understand: "The Children of the Moon are usurping one human kingdom after another! They can always infiltrate easily and silently corrupt the nobles and wealthy businessmen who are afraid of death. They will always help each other on the basis of race.
, opening the door to convenience for one's own kind - doesn't this count as a violation of order? Once the rulers of various countries are in danger, the Theocracy will intervene... But what about the Children of the Moon?"
"Because the Theocracy has always had a principle...that is, the principle of voluntary protection."
Ruo'an patiently said: "The Sons of the Moon are not forcibly capturing those nobles and forcing them to transform. Rather, those people are greedy for immortality, so they transform voluntarily at all costs. This is their own choice. In the end, whether it is the destruction of the country or the
Whether it is genocide or not, it is just a matter of course.
"The Theocracy is only a watcher, not a protector. Although the Children of the Moon have squeezed the living space of mankind, this incident seems to us like a rebellion launched by rebels within the kingdom, rather than an extraordinary power from an external enemy.
Invasion. All we can do is educate them - warn them not to believe the Moon Son's persuasion."
“But you can’t stop it by just persuading!”
The honey badger was a little excited: "We have already tried it, but it didn't work - not many of those nobles really care about their own souls and selves. Even if they were told that the Son of the Moon is just another person, only a few of them would
Only people will be swayed by it. The temptation of eternal life is too great, and strong and powerful supervision is necessary to prevent the infiltration of the Children of the Moon! Just like Avalon——"
"——Because you have to understand one thing, Ms. Honey Badger."
Aiwass on the side continued: "What the Theocracy represents has never been natural justice and absolute fairness.
"In other words, the Theocracy represents the interests of the church.
"And what the church represents is the interests of the nine-pillar god."
