It has been three days since the last update...no, it has been three days since they left the dwarf country. At this time, Esther and his friends are living in Rome, Italy. Rome is known as the Eternal City and is the most Catholic in the world.
center of.
Because of the auction held by the Bauhinia Merchants Association last month, the Eternal City has also entered a state of openness to demons. Now that the auction has passed, Rome has become heavily guarded again.
In the central Catholic cities, even association members are rarely seen. They are basically clergy, such as priests and missionaries. They are common in the city. They have almost become integrated with the life of the Romans.
They are closely connected, and the clergy who can be seen everywhere on the streets are an invisible pressure for the demons.
The association can't contribute much in this city. If it doesn't contribute, it naturally doesn't have much say.
If you want to describe it, this place is like a country within a country.
At least the people from the association can't interfere too much.
"Where is she?" Esther asked Crow in the hotel.
Crow glanced at Lilina, who was still covered in quilt and didn't want to talk to Est, and turned to Est and said this.
"I'm probably still angry with you."
"Then let her stay alone." Esther did not say any words of comfort.
He knew Lilina was angry with him, but he didn't think he had done anything wrong. By killing Leon, who was indispensable to the dwarf royal family, he could deceive the goodwill of the entire royal family and gain precious treasures.
Lava rock.
In Esder's view, this is a completely mutually beneficial situation, with neither party losing anything.
The reason why Lilina couldn't accept it was probably because what Esther did was too dark.
"We're leaving, we'll probably be back later." Esther threw a word into the room before going out, and then went out with Crow without waiting for Lilina's answer.
...
"It's my first time to come to Rome. I never had the chance before, and Master never brought me here." Christina said excitedly as she looked at the unique buildings around her.
"Crytina's mysterious master has appeared." Minerva shook her head and spread her hands.
Minerva was already accustomed to strange words like this. Living with Cristina, she would always hear some religious words such as demons and gods, or other strange words that she had never heard before.
In short, Cristina is now a mystery lover in Minerva's eyes.
"Really, I originally wanted to go see Lilina to play, but I didn't expect that she has already gone on a trip with Esther."
Minerva said with regret when she thought of this.
"But then again, Lilina actually burned down the house. I must educate her when I see her." Minerva looked like a big sister at this time, with a slight anger on her face.
At this moment, Cristina, who had always been very excited around Minerva, suddenly seemed to be wilting. The name Esther had almost become a psychological shadow for Cristina.
Because of Esther's relationship, she was severely beaten and hung on the beam of the association for the whole night, saying that she was punished for going out to embarrass her.
Fortunately, staying still still took care of Christina's dignity as a girl, otherwise she would have been naked when hanging from the beam.
And just like a few days ago, when Minerva brought Cristina to Lilina's residence, walking on an increasingly familiar path, Cristina almost trembled with fear.
She never thought that her roommate at Cambridge University, Minerva, would be Lilina Scatter's sister.
"I'll ask to see where she is now, and I'll go directly there later," Minerva said.
Suddenly, Christina's body froze.
She turned her head towards Minerva like a machine and asked in the same machine-like voice: "You mean, we came to Rome to find Lilina?"
"That's right? Didn't I tell you before?" Minerva thought that Cristina was worried about embarrassing problems after meeting, so she said: "It doesn't matter, Lilina is easy to get along with."
But she suddenly remembered, how could Christina know Lilina's name?
"How do you know Lilina's name? I remember I never told you."
Christina said angrily: "I hear this name from you every day, no matter what, I will remember it."
"Oh!" Minerva made an exaggerated expression of realization.
"Then let's go have dinner now and go find her in the hotel later." After saying that, Minerva took Christina's hand.
But she didn't expect that before she took a few steps, she found that she couldn't drag Kristina.
Looking back at the motionless Christina behind her, Minerva asked strangely: "What's wrong?"
At this time, Christina's entire face was filled with displeasure.
She smiled forcefully at Minerva and said, "Well, Minerva, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I might have to go back first."
"Eh!!!"
"Didn't we agree that the time would be free during the summer vacation?" Minerva said with a pout.
"I'm sorry, I just remembered that I...that, I haven't finished my homework yet!"
After saying this, Minerva and Cristina were stunned.
"..."
"I'll just pretend you didn't say anything." Minerva forcefully dragged Christina forward.
"I'm sorry, ladies, could you please cooperate with me in my work?" At this time, a man in black tailoring walked up to the two of them, with a silver cross hanging around his neck.
...
"Roar!!!" A tearing roar echoed in the Holy Seal Cage underground in the church.
Golden runes were connected into chains and attached to the sealed cage.
The golden runes shattered, and under the monster's brute force, the cage was broken through. In the darkness that lost its golden light, only a pair of ice-blue pupils remained.
Its eyes were full of bone-gnawing resentment, which chilled people's hearts.
"Your Excellency, the demon imprisoned in the Holy Seal Cage escaped late last night. We have organized personnel to conduct a comprehensive search within the Eternal City."
Cardinal is named after the position that serves as a central point in the management of the church.
At this time, the bishop's face showed a solemn look. The Pope is now in a simple and simple manner, and he has taken over most of the duties. If you really want to say it, he should now be the person with the most say in the Roman Catholic Church.
However, even so, it still cannot successfully solve the problems he is currently facing.
"Continue to send people to search, and let the judges join the search team. In addition, this matter must not be known to the people of the association. The escaped demon must be controlled before causing a greater disturbance." The cardinal said.
