Chapter 97 Where the Nightmare Begins
Chapter 97: Where the nightmare begins
"Have you found out?" Pope Paul II closed his eyes slightly and asked Feligno, the Windrunner, who was kneeling in front of him.
Fengxingzhe is a mysterious organization affiliated with the Inquisition of the Church of Light. Its main job is to monitor the words and deeds of important people in various places. Once people who have been slandered or sentenced to the Church of Light, they will be arrested immediately and the inquisition process will be initiated.
Felinho is 33 years old this year, a level 15 swordsman, and is the leader of the Wind Walker team. He has the privilege of meeting the Pope and reporting directly.
"Your Majesty, two hours ago, our detection device detected an unusual magic fluctuation suddenly in the mansion of Imadnagour, the lord of Hanover City, which seemed to be some kind of space magic. Windrunner 38 has personally been reconnaissance and sent back a reconnaissance report." Felinho replied respectfully: "Marquis Imadnagour, Earl of Haulsnagour, Andrew Kach, the magician of the Nagur family, and eight guards, and four service personnel suddenly disappeared."
His Majesty the Pope nodded, and there was no emotional fluctuation on his old face.
Felinho continued to report: "According to Imad's housekeeper, Imad was meeting several strange skin merchants at that time, and seemed to be talking about a skin transaction. The housekeeper was waiting outside the door for orders, not knowing what was happening inside the door. It was not until after the arrival of the 38th that they found that the people inside were missing. According to Imad's estimate, it must have been the people inside who activated a relatively powerful space teleportation scroll and sent them to another place. When the scroll was started, a large amount of magic energy was released outward, so it was detected by our device."
"How strange is a strange animal skin merchant?"
"These merchants suddenly appeared, and no one had seen them before. Three days ago, they rented a shop in Hanover City and bought various high-level monster skins. Because the price they offered was more than ten times the normal price, it caused a sensation. It is estimated that Imad summoned them because of this reason. According to the butler, there were four people in total, a young and beautiful woman, two men in black clothes, under their black clothes, wearing thick black armor, which seemed to be warriors. The other person was a local, named Seus, who was originally the owner of a tavern outside the North Gate. He was employed by these three people three days ago as agents for purchasing the beast skins."
"Don't you even know the name?" The Pope was obviously dissatisfied.
"Yes, the butler of the City Lord's Mansion heard a person's name outside the door, which seemed to be called Thunderstorm."
"Thunderstorm!" The pope suddenly stood up, and his whole body suddenly became full of vitality. The pope's eyes widened and his aggressive eyes looked at Felinho: "Are you sure?"
"This..." Felinho hesitated: "I just heard that I haven't confirmed it yet."
"I understand!" The pope sat down again, and his whole body returned to a thin and sick look.
"Your Majesty, there is another information, I think I should report it to you." Felinho was frightened by the Pope's appearance just now, so he did not dare to look up: "At noon today, two women broke into the Hanover City court, intending to rescue two death row prisoners. They clashed with the guards, and a woman instantly killed twelve guards with a strange black weapon."
"This is a secular thing, so don't report it to me." The Pope was a little tired, showing his intention to let Felinho leave.
"Your Majesty, our people think this is not a simple occasion, but a serious invasion of evil forces, and it is likely to be related to the disappearance of Imad." Felinho stated his reasons: "Our people have been to the court, and they actually felt the strong breath of death there. Therefore, it can be concluded that at least one of the two women is an undead. In addition, the two death row prisoners were obviously hung three times in noose, which took as many as 45 minutes, but they were resurrected three times and ran more than 40 meters before they died."
"Why is it related to Imad's disappearance?" The pope finally heard it.
"After the two women killed the guards, they fled to a tavern called Happy and disappeared. The tavern was located opposite the acquisition station opened by the several animal-skin merchants. According to the owner of the tavern, there were four guests on the second floor, two men and two women. The men were wearing black clothes, which looked like the two men in black who went to Imad's house. Later, the two women left the tavern, and a bloody crime occurred in the court more than two hours later. The two women looked very panicked when they came back, and a few minutes later the soldiers surrounded the tavern. However, the soldiers searched the entire tavern, but they could no longer find the two girls. But the tavern owner clearly saw the two men in black accompanying a girl to leave the tavern, and there was an incredible addition of a sika deer."
After Felinho finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited for the Pope's orders. After several minutes, the Pope waved his hand lazily: "I understand, go back, everything will be as usual."
As soon as Phelignho left, the pope suddenly stood up, his face shining with excitement.
The Pope walked to the bookshelf, took out a map and unfolded it on the table, staring at the place marked Hanover City for a long time.
"Hannover, Hanover, is this the place where the nightmare begins?"
After a long time, the Pope put away the map, walked out of the main hall tremblingly, turned over a few houses, and entered a small white palace.
Inside the palace, Camilla was sitting at a desk, looking at a thick book "The Origin of Myth".
"My child, is the content of the book wonderful?" The Pope walked to Camilla and kindly stroked Camilla's hair: "I can answer anything I don't understand."
"Your Majesty." Camilla closed the book and smiled sweetly at the Pope.
Since watching the magical huge magic circle, Camilla has been reading various books here. Her mind has indeed been purified and she never thinks about her summoned pet anymore.
"According to this book, at the beginning of the world's founding, there were two main gods in the human world, one was the God of Light and the other was the Lord of Dark. They were all gods under the Supreme God's seat, and they all came to rule this world." Camilla did have questions in her heart: "Since the God of Light and the Lord of Dark are both gods under the Supreme God's seat, they should be both light. Why did the Lord of Dark deviate from the will of the Supreme God and fall into evil gods? Could it be that the gods are good and bad? Did the Supreme God not realize the evil in the heart of the Lord of Dark?"
"My child, your problem is very good." The Pope said kindly: "Gods, like us humans, have desires. Desire is like a seed. It will sprout and grow. If we control it well, we can let the seeds of desire grow in a better way, and if we don't control it and let it develop naturally, it will become a disaster. Although the Lord of Darkness is the god who sits under the Supreme God, after he comes to our human world, desires expand without limit. Under his leadership, many creatures have become evil creatures."
"The book also records that later, the Supreme God became angry and surrendered the heavenly punishment and punished the Lord of Darkness. But why did he not completely eliminate the Lord of Darkness, but let him fall asleep?"
"The Supreme God is kind and will give those who make mistakes the opportunity to correct them."
"But why do we kill all those undead creatures? In contrast, the Lord of Darkness is more evil than theirs?" Camilla continued to ask, "The Supreme God teaches us that all evil will be destroyed. But the Lord of Darkness escaped the fate of being destroyed. Do gods also have privileges?"
"This..." The Pope was speechless: "My child, your heart has been blinded by superficial imagination. The so-called evil will be destroyed, not as you understand it. What we destroy is evil, not life. As long as the Lord of Darkness can no longer harm the world, it is no longer important to destroy or destroy his body and soul."
Camilla nodded and thoughtfully said, "Evil can be stopped. As long as evil is stopped, it will no longer be evil, right?"
Many small beads of sweat had appeared on the pope's forehead. He really didn't expect how the simple Camilla would ask such a question. The pope secretly decided in his heart that he should change several books for Camilla.
"Speaker, why did you ask me to come back?" Just as the pope didn't know what to answer, a ripples of space suddenly began to ripple in the hall, and the proud angel Elena walked out of it.
Since Elena arrived, she has eliminated seven people on the blacklist. Just as she was about to attack the eighth person, she suddenly received the Pope's order to rush back to the Great Temple of Light.
As an angel, Elena didn't have to pay attention to the orders of a mortal, even if he was the noble pope.
But somehow, Elena had a deep sense of awe for this thin old man, and she had no sense of resistance at all for the Pope's order.
"When fish appear, shrimps are not important." The pope said, taking out the map from his arms and spreading it out to Elena, "Your respected Lord Joseph has fallen, do you already know?"
"It was pride and arrogance that ruined him." Elena was unwilling to mention Joseph's name, because it was a great shame to defeat the angels by humans.
The Pope pointed to the location of Hanover City on the map and said solemnly: "Go and get the dignity of the angel for Joseph."
