The knight in golden armor silently followed the woman, following her step by step.
This is a woman with extremely high authority in the new Holy See... In just a few short years since humans retreated from [Laputa], a large number of upstarts have emerged among the survivors.
Miss Isabel is the best among these new rich.
She not only has extraordinary beauty, but also has amazing skills... In addition, she also has a fatal attraction to both sexes.
It's just that such an outstanding woman is still single so far, although the people who pursue her can line up all the way to the city gate.
“Lady Isabel, please.”
In front of the new Pope's study room, the doorman respectfully welcomed Isabel in... She looked at the old man inside.
He was dying and lifeless. He looked like he could not live for more than a few days, but he managed to survive to this day.
In addition to relying on an excellent team of doctors, it is more because of secretly taking some drugs that can be called contraindications.
“There you are, Isabel.”
“Pope.”
The Pope took off his glasses at this time, pinched his eyebrows and said: "You probably know why I came to you."
“I know something.” Isabel nodded.
“What do you think?” The Pope raised his head and asked. The old man’s eyes were full of energy, which was completely different from his almost decayed body.
“The old nobles are clinging to the glory of the sunset, and they can no longer keep up with the development of [Laputa].” Isabel said calmly: “There are too many nobles in [Laputa], and we can streamline some at the appropriate time.”
The Pope pondered, and after a moment he made a decision, "Then I'll leave it to you... Isabel, I know you can solve the matter perfectly."
“There is no perfect thing in this world.” Isabel shook her head and said, “This will be a vicious incident.”
The Pope sighed, "We don't have time. [Laputa] can't hold on much longer, you know that."
Of course she knows.
This huge city floating above the mainland has been overloaded for fifteen years and its resources are almost exhausted.
“We need new energy.” The Pope said solemnly, “We must open the door in the [City of God’s Blessing] again.”
"My people are already working hard." Isabel said slowly: "Perhaps, there will be news soon."
“I hope so.” The old man slowly closed his eyes.
He waved his hand, and Isabel left silently.
This old man's body is too weak. He can't work for more than two hours a day. The rest of the time can only be maintained by sleeping.
When Isabel came to the door, she finally looked back at the old man on the chair... The other person had already lowered his head.
Elohim.
The name of the pope.
…
…
The throne that was once the pope’s seat of the Holy See of God is now the seat of the Earl of Rose.
The [Count Rose] sitting on the throne is already full of style, but his appearance is a little sloppy. Of course, this can be ignored.
He owns the entire [Divine Blessed City].
Under the throne, the owner of the dungeon stood alone, and the muscular man from the heart also stood... Then, several black-armored warriors brought senior sister [Yuliya] over.
Senior Sister no longer scolded these black-armored warriors for being ungrateful and full of rat tail juice. She just stared blankly at the girl Clary who was standing silently next to [Count Rose].
Then there is 【Earl of Rose】.
Azaches...the owner of [Rose Mansion] is indeed right.
At this time, [Count Rose] on the throne held his chin and tapped his temples with his fingers. The air in the hall was quiet... His eyes suddenly fell on the dungeon master.
“Your name is Alan?”
“Not bad.” The owner of the dungeon stood up at this time.
【Earl Rose】 frowned and said slowly: "I heard from my subordinates that during the battle, you once claimed to be a vampire hunter... [D]?"
Mr. Allen, the owner of the dungeon, remained silent and tilted his head.
At this time, [Count Rose] shook his head and said: "I don't know if you have touched the inheritance of some vampire hunter, but you...are definitely not [D]."
The master of the dungeon returned his gaze. The iron mask completely covered his expression, but it could not conceal his condensed gaze.
At this time, [Count Rose] breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I can give you a chance to survive, as long as you remove the [Mind Rewriting] spell from Clary...I can let go of the things you planned this time."
“How do you guarantee it?” The owner of the dungeon was silent for a while before he asked tentatively.
"There is no promise, it's up to you whether you do it or not." [Count Rose] said calmly: "I can also break the [Mind Rewriting] spell, it will only take a few days at most. If you don't want this chance to survive, then take it with you...
Send him out and execute him outside the square to serve as a warning to others."
In an instant, a group of murderous black-armored warriors approached the owner of the dungeon, Mr. Allen.
This boss Asachus has changed... [Yuliya] Senior Sister couldn't help but blinked her eyes. This guy is no longer the self-destructive salted fish he was back then. He is now a model of a domineering president.
However, in doing things neatly and neatly, I already have the taste of the maid in the store.
“Prepare some materials for me!” The owner of the dungeon said in a deep voice...Congxin.
“Take him down first.” [Count Rose] waved his hand, “Meet his request.”
Two black-armored warriors directly held the owner of the dungeon with his hands and quickly escorted him to the main hall... Only then did [Earl Rose]'s eyes fall on the muscular man.
"name."
“Heracles.”
“I’ve never heard of it.” [Count Rose] tilted his head, “Where did you find the silver bullets on your body?”
Muscular man... The man who called himself Hercules simply said at this time: "I found this from a ruin. It should be a former stronghold of the [Divine Blessing Church]."
Count Rose's eyes brightened slightly, "The stronghold of [Divinity's Holy See]? Besides weapons, what else is there?"
"That stronghold has been severely damaged." Hercules said: "There are only a small number of usable weapons, and most of the others are useless."
[Count Rose] looked for help at this time, and a black-armored warrior walked out. Only then did he look at Hercules and said: "Wait a minute, he will lead a group of warriors. You take them to that stronghold,
Move everything inside back... Remember, everything, even a piece of waste paper. Hercules, when you come back, I can forgive your sins and let you continue to live here."
"Seriously?" Hercules' eyes suddenly lit up, as if he was surprised.
But Count Rose said: "Before setting off, send your family, friends, or one of your subordinates to me. I will pick them up after you come back."
Heracles' expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.
“Let’s go down too.” [Count Rose] waved his hand again, still quite crisply.
…
…
When only senior sister [Yulia] was left, there were suddenly no more black-armored warriors in the hall... These black-armored warriors had been ordered to retreat by [Count Rose].
“Do you know who I am?” [Count Rose] suddenly asked after a moment of dullness.
"You are...the master of the City of Divine Blessing." Senior Sister [Yuliya] responded tentatively.
But [Count Rose] shook his head.
【Yulia】Senior sister glanced at Clary, who happened to be looking at her at the same time...it seemed to contain some encouragement?
Senior sister bit her tongue and decided to save the trouble and said directly: "I know you are Clary's boss, Mr. Asaches of [Rose Mansion]... a descendant of a saintly family!"
But [Count Rose] still shook his head at this time, and even sighed.
Clary looked at the man on the throne next to her in surprise... [Yulia] Senior sister couldn't help showing a look of confusion at this moment.
"Eh." [Count Rose] sighed slowly at this time, "Miss Yulia, why did you forget me... I am also the honorary president of your fan club after all."
【Yuliya】Senior sister’s eyes suddenly widened.
She suddenly seems to want to beat this guy to death, what should I do?
…
“Name…honorary president??”
"It's just in name." [Count Rose] chuckled, showing a hint of nostalgia: "I am just an initiator, and I organized a support club for the Holy Maiden with a group of like-minded friends. But those guys,
I always change my wife every few years, and then I felt it was no longer interesting, so I quit temporarily, but my name is still there."
Clillie glanced at the man suspiciously.
Although her memories were confused and unable to be connected due to [Mind Rewriting]... subconsciously, she didn't seem to agree... I always felt that it was because the [Mansion] had no business and Boss Azashes couldn't come up with the funds.
When you came, you were afraid of being looked down upon by your colleagues, so you made an excuse to say that you are different and don’t work together?
"Let's not talk about this anymore." [Count Rose] smiled slightly at this time: "Miss Yulia, I know you have many questions in your mind, and so do I. But too many things have happened today, and it will be dawn soon...
So, if you have any questions, please leave it until the next night."
That's it?
【Yuliya】Senior sister couldn’t help but frowned... Do you want to take off your vest and go directly to the large size?
In this case, the other party should be able to talk well, right?
"This is better, I...I also need to calm down." Senior sister [Yuliya] nodded slowly. The most important thing is that she found that senior [Eleven] disappeared again!
…
…
Count Rose did not return to the library immediately, even though his reason was constantly urging him to go back.
But he came to the underground cell of the castle first.
This was once the place where the Divine Blessing Church used to imprison some terrible vampires and thugs. Even the war fifteen years ago did not affect the dungeon facilities.
The guards guarding the place have been called back.
【Count Rose】 stood in front of Nosta. Nosta's hands were pierced by iron hooks, and his whole body was hanging off the ground.
"Azaches...let, let me go...let me go!" Mr. Nosta raised his head with difficulty at this time, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, "We...we...we are..."
"I didn't kill you directly because of the bad fate that you and I both come from the same place." [Count Rose] said calmly: "Mr. Nosta, you know, you have ruined all my trust in you.
Oh... Trust is a good thing, why are you so willing to waste it?"
"Those are just some food!" Mr. Nosta's face looked crazy: "Azaches, I am your companion! Only I know your origin, and only I can talk to you without any scruples.
Those things you want to talk about...I am your only friend!"
"I'm not that lonely yet?" [Count Rose] shook his head: "Besides, I'm afraid I can't afford a scholar like you... I've been cheated by another scholar before.
No more."
"You mean...Calvin?" As if thinking of something, Mr. Nosta frowned subconsciously.
"It's not important anymore." [Count Rose] breathed out slowly, "Mr. Nosta, this is the last time I see you... This will be your future destination. After becoming a vampire, you have forgotten
The original intention of being a free people. The saint's sayings say: We are free and should not be bound by anything. Now you have become a slave of bloodthirsty desire... Please reflect on it."
After saying that, [Count Rose] turned around and left quickly and neatly.
Only Mr. Nosta was left in the cage and roared angrily, "You...you damn!! The saint never said this!! I am the leader of the Versailles school, don't I know?! Holy man
I also know the quotations by heart!! Come back!! Azashes!! Come back!! Ah!!”
Count Rose had already covered his ears and walked away with a small step as if he didn’t recognize his relatives.
…
…
“Old…old…boss…”
She shouted this extremely familiar title very hard...in the library deep in the castle.
“Don’t force yourself.” [Count Rose] gently rubbed Clary’s head at this time.
After returning to the library, he no longer had that terrifying sense of oppression... He looked like an abandoned house, like a salted fish, like the owner of the Rose Mansion in her memory.
“Take you to see something.” [Count Rose] suddenly said at this time.
The girl opened her mouth slightly.
At this time, [Count Rose] walked to a bookshelf and turned on the mechanism. Then the bookshelf slowly moved away, revealing a secret passage leading underground.
He took an oil lamp and walked into the secret passage first...The girl quickly followed.
"I have been here for more than sixteen years." [Count Rose]'s voice came from the front of the secret passage, "Many things have happened over the years... These things have even made me forget who I am.
Who. If it hadn't been for your arrival this time, maybe I would have continued to stay here until one day I would have completely forgotten my original appearance."
“Old…boss…”
The girl stepped forward quickly, reached out and grabbed his arm, exerting force.
"You're kidding." [Earl Rose] smiled and shook his head: "It's just a joke... How could I forget who I am? Even if I want to forget, he... won't let me forget.
ah."
he?
The girl subconsciously raised her head.
This is the end of the secret passage.
【Count Rose】raised the oil lamp in his hand and illuminated the space in front of him.
"This, this...this..." The girl couldn't organize her words for a moment.
It was a stone platform, and on the stone platform lay a man with black hair, with a long pointed sword stuck in his body!
"The strongest vampire hunter." [Count Rose]...Mr. Asaches murmured, "[D]..."
“He...he...he is?”
“I don’t know either.” Mr. Assass shook his head and said with a wry smile: “Maybe, maybe not… But he can’t tell me the answer now, right?”
