Light Spirit Epic Chapter 2748: Shadow of Paradise (2)

Chapter 2748 Shadow of Paradise (2)

June 10, 1431, Holy Land Vatican.

Elaine and others were placed in a hut in the backyard of a church, and the opposite tower was said to be where the sick cardinal was housed, guarded by guards. The monks who entered and exited the tower were all tightly wrapped, wearing gloves and masks, in order to prevent being infected by the Black Death.

"You settle down, and you can go to see the cardinal in the evening." Knight Commander Marcus said: "The priests who preached in France before inquired, it seems that every time they come into direct contact with a patient, Clothes and body have to be disinfected with alcohol or boiling water, right? We will prepare this for you as well."

"Yes, there is work." Elaine sat down on the chair and said at the same time. After the carriage entered the Vatican, it was not allowed to drive in the city, so they got off the car and walked for at least two hours. Elaine's legs were a little sore. Unlike Elaine, the white bear in the original world 900 years ago, the current fat white Elaine is really just a fat man with albinism. This is a human body, and it is tall and fat, and it is a burden on the body when walking (especially The burden on the legs) is quite large.

"Okay, can I ask one?" Elaine asked again, "How on earth did such a big and important person like a cardinal contract the Black Death?"

"...Is this a question that must be asked from a physician's perspective?" Marcus asked tentatively.

"Um..." Elaine nodded: "Only, just to help diagnose."

"The Cardinal often participates in various charitable activities. He even enters the epidemic area to personally console the poor people who are plagued by the epidemic. But he always thinks that he has the protection of God and will not contract the epidemic. He is a little... ...too confident." The knight commander replied awkwardly.

"...Ok, ok." Elaine's forehead dripped with sweat. This is really embarrassing. If you don't die, you won't die, don't these people understand?

"The fact that the cardinal was infected with the Black Death is a secret known to few people," Marcus warned again: "In the eyes of mortals, the cardinal must maintain that noble and God-protected appearance. Let It is not a good thing for the common people to know that the cardinal is just an ordinary person who can contract the disease."

"I, I understand." Elaine replied, but she muttered in her heart, isn't the Cardinal just an ordinary person. Everyone is equal before the epidemic, and what is protected by God is nonsense.

"Then, you two, please rest for a while, I'm leaving too." Marcus turned to leave.

"A lot of people can't tell the difference between being immune to the Black Death and being protected from getting sick by God." After Marcus left, Goff said, "That's why they feel that they are against the Black Death. Those who are immune to death and disease are saints."

"Well, then..."

"You are a saint too, Dr. Joffrey, at least in my eyes, you are," Goff replied.

"This..." Elaine blushed.

As he organizes various medical supplies, he wonders how to find Queen Greenville (Joan of Arc) in this vast sanctuary. In order to heal the cardinal, both he and Gove's movements are restricted to the interior of the monastery, and there is no other reason why they can't move around in the Holy Land. But Joan of Arc doesn't necessarily have to be locked up in the same monastery. The Vatican is so big, she may be locked up elsewhere. If you don't want to expand the scope of activities, no matter how long it takes, you won't be able to see Joan of Arc, right?

Um...no way. Elaine knows that her brain is not good, and it will not help to think hard here. Only one step at a time.

Meanwhile, Knight Commander Marcus, who had left the monastery, met his men at the main entrance.

"How's the battle going?" he asked as he came up.

"It's very bad," one of his Pope knights replied in a low voice: "It's been a few days, the undead on the Fononica side have not been suppressed, and those undead monsters occupying the port just don't. Let's go, the fleet can't use the port. We've tried shelling, shooting arrows, cutting and piercing them with swords and spears, but they seem to have the ability to regenerate, and the blown-up remains can be put back together again Keep fighting."

"Who did it with necromancy? Damn it." Knight Commander Marcus groaned, "Isn't necromancy the proud technique of Cardinal Fernandez? What did he say there?"

"...No contact. His news is completely cut off." His men added: "We sent another fleet to the [post station] on Elba Island, and it was empty. One person, and a group of rats manipulated by necromancy would randomly attack people, and there were casualties in the fleet, at least five crusaders died, and another Pope knight died of the plague. From the current situation Come on, Cardinal Fernandez has probably already—"

"It really is a magician who surrendered from the ivory tower, but I can't believe it." Marcus hummed: "You sent people to keep an eye on the other five surrendered cardinals. They must have secretly communicated with Fernandez, saying He may be ready to betray the church at any time."

"Of course—well, Lord Helvin!" The Pope Knight suddenly interrupted the conversation and raised his voice to greet a cardinal who was approaching.

The bishop wearing a red robe doesn't look like a cardinal at all, and it's almost as if she is a witch in red. So beautiful, so petite and pitiful, wearing a red robe gracefully approaching the knights, this cardinal has absolutely no atmosphere that a priest should have.

"Hello, Cardinal Helvin." Knight Commander Marcus greeted politely.

"Hello, Knight Commander Marcus." Cardinal Helvin said, "In broad daylight, I seem to feel that someone is speaking ill of me?"

"Hahaha, it's nothing, Lord Helwen is too much to worry about." Marcus replied with a smile, with a poker face.

"It would be better if it was true." Helwen looked up, staring at the handsome young man two heads taller than her, and Marcus looked down at the other party with a smile. The two met eyes like this, and the air seemed to be full of **.

However------

The scene before Marcus suddenly darkened, as if day had suddenly turned into night.

This sudden change did not frighten the knight commander. He smiled and said, "No matter how many times it has been experienced, it still looks so magical."

"There is nothing magical, I just use [Magic Eye] to speed up your somatosensory time a hundred times, and then use telepathy to talk to you." Helwen replied.

The two of them naturally didn't move their mouths. They also kept the original four-eyed-looking posture. They froze there differently, as if they were frozen in still time.

"No, no matter what the principle is, a magical thing is a magical thing. The sensory time is a hundred times faster, right? No one would have thought that we would be in the moment of this pair of eyes, in a few seconds that no one else expected. Among them, such a blatant love affair."

"I hate it, who is flirting with you." Cardinal Helvin groaned: "It's because our positions are different, and there are many eyes and ears in the Vatican, and there is no way to use this method and You talk. You slut, don't take anything."

"That's why I became a lecher." Marcus couldn't help laughing: "You're not much better, you criminal witch."

"Let's end the joke here." Helvin pretended to be a little angry: "It's all your fault for talking nonsense, saying that the surrendered cardinal had secretly contacted Fernandez and asked your men to keep an eye on me. You are like this. Wouldn't that put more pressure on me? Being stared at, my next actions will only become more and more difficult?"

"There's no way around that. The church doesn't believe in you at all. Even if I don't say so, my subordinates will still think the same way." Marcus said, "The Pope's Knights are not what you imagined. In an organized and disciplined group like China, even among my subordinates, there are not many people who have independent ideas and are looking for opportunities to take my place. Just like you, who are being watched closely, there are also many insidious guys who are eyeing me. "

"...Hey." Helwen sighed, "I'm a little tired."

"Tired?"

"Unlike other great mages who pursue power, I chose to betray the ivory tower in order to be with you. But even in the Holy Land Vatican, even if you are by my side, I still can't hug you, Tell the world the fact that we are in love. Even if we talk, we can only choose this form. This is not romantic at all, and it is too far from true love."

"...Really? I find it exciting and fun," Marcus said casually.

Helvyn rolled her eyes at each other.

"Hey, Marcus... When will I be able to hug you and live with you without any scruples? This life is not what I want. I don't want to be a cardinal at all. I just want to fly away with you and live a peaceful life. Is that also an excessive luxury?"

"...Be patient, Helwen." Marcus said solemnly: "You know this is unrealistic. If we run away like this, not only the Church will not let us go, but even the Mage Association. I will still find a way to hunt you down."

"So what should we do? It's easy to avoid the Mages Association, but you can't bring down the church by yourself." Cardinal Helvin muttered: "The church is faith, and it is immortal. Even if there is a way to kill the current group of people in power, there will still be another group of lunatics who claim to believe in God. Unless you kill every believer in the Vatican, I don't think your plan is likely to succeed ."

"...Eden."

"Huh?"

"Then we will flee to the Garden of Eden and live our peaceful lives in that paradise where no outsiders can interfere." Marcus replied, "This is the only solution I can think of."

"...are you serious? [The Seed of Eden] is in the hands of the Pope, and it won't be open to any mortals. It requires the blood of the Three Holy Ones to activate it."

"No, the blood of the three saints is needed for full activation. Just turn it on enough for the two of us to enter, and the blood of two saints is enough." The knight commander said, "Joan of Arc" The blood of another saint is easy to deal with. The blood of another saint~IndoMTL.com~ I have a way to get it. Hey, I just escorted that saint to the Vatican today."

"So you're going to..."

"I'll plan everything. You just have to act according to the plan. Don't worry. Whether Joan of Arc or Dr. Joffrey are from our side, they will definitely cooperate. When I got the blood of the saints, I tried to deceive the Pope and enter the Garden of Eden. When we enter the paradise, I will also destroy the [paradise seed], so that no one can enter the paradise to hunt us down. "

"If it were that simple..."

"Trust me, Helwyn. Everything will be fine. I've never let you down before, have I? You've even become a cardinal."

"So this is all your plan, from the beginning."

"Yes." Knight Commander Marcus coaxed: "We will definitely enter the paradise. In a world where no one can interfere with us, we are free to love each other. Let's see. No one can Dismantle us. Not the church, not the ivory tower, not even the world."
