Release that Witch Chapter 893: Destiny’s handover
Two weeks later, at the end of the midsummer moon, Roland finally arrived at Hermes.
The Northern Lands garrison and witches greeted him at the entrance of Saint city gate. In addition, he also saw a few nuns wearing Church black robes in the team.
Although Roland has learned from the Lightning mouth that the high-level collective of Church is missing, when walking into this empty plateau stronghold in person, there are still some who cannot believe that the expected fierce battle has not occurred, whether it is God Punishment Witches or new-style persecution. The artillery failed to come in handy. Although this result can not be better, there is always a feeling of punching on cotton.
The decision to bring Isabella before the expedition was a very correct choice. According to the reports sent by Hawk Face and Agatha, it was the former Pure One who noticed the Church's anomaly, and after the proper disposal of the orphans of the monastery, he proposed to the Northern Lands army Holy City of Hermes survey recommendations.
The results are surprising. The huge cities have long been empty, leaving only the residents in the outer suburbs who have not had time to relocate to maintain the illusion that the Church still exists. In fact, they were not clear about what happened in the inner city, only to hear that Church was preparing for the final battle.
Afterwards, the nuns group integrated by Isabella soon entered Hermes. Under the announcement of these people's running, the signs of escape gradually eased, at least the refugees team in the direction of Wolf Heart and Eternal Winter basically no longer appeared. After all, it is simply too dramatic to abandon the Holy City change, and the blow to the reputation of Church is almost devastating. Compared to those who left without saying goodbye, the nun who took the initiative to restore order was more like a Church's successor.
"How did this happen?" Because the letter could not be written in detail, the first thing after Roland entered Holy City was to ask the whereabouts of the remaining forces of Church. "There are also thousands of people in the inner city. , Do n’t they need to pass through the outer wall to leave the plateau? "
"There are many natural tunnels below Hermes, and some of them can pass through underground through the Holy City city walls. If they are evacuated in batches, they can really make the residents of the outer city unaware." Isabella explained, "They were built when they were built. Designed for one-time use and no access, I checked several tunnel entrances and found that they were all destroyed. "
"Where do those tunnels lead?"
"Only those who passed by know," she shook her head. "If the escape was planned in advance, it would be difficult to track their whereabouts after an interval of one and a half months."
So Church is going to cut his tail to save his life. Roland can't help frowning. The problem is that abandoning Holy City is equivalent to losing the basic disk. It is not as simple as cutting the tail, and its loss is even worse than a broken head. They are so confident that they can find a base to fight Greycastle again? Or do you intend to reduce it to zero and harass his territory in batches? He felt a headache when he thought of the next few years to watch out for these fanatics.
About seeing his thoughts, Isabella smiled, "You don't need to worry about Church anymore, they won't come back."
Roland froze, "Why do you say that?"
"They left a messenger," the other side answer said.
...
In a small church in the North District of Holy City, Roland saw a messenger in the mouth of Isabella.
That was a gray-haired old man, wearing a brand new red-bottomed gold edged priest robe, holding a thick book in his arms, and came out under the restraint of the guard.
Although his steps are a little bleak, he still holds his head up, as if he doesn't want to lose to anyone. He first glanced at Isabella with coldly, then looked at Roland, "You are King of Greycastle, Roland Wimbledon Your Majesty?"
"It's me."
"The ash-grey hair gray pupil is really similar to your father," said the old man slowly. "My name is Jacob, High Priest of Holy City. If it is secular, it is probably equivalent to Duke ... Of course, I Without the corresponding fief, so many servants are not needed. "
"I heard you insisted on waiting for me here?" Roland shrugged. "Why, those people didn't bring you when they sneaked?
"I want to stay," he said with a solemn expression, as if explaining his last words, "I'm old and can't run ... even if I can walk, it's not a few years to live. Instead of going to new Life would be better buried with this city. "
"New life?" Roland quickly captured the keywords in the other person's words.
"Yes, remove all responsibilities, just for a new life in the rest of life." Jacob sounded a hint of irony, "You win, His Majesty The King, if this is the result you want to see Church not Will be right with you again, the city will be left in your hands intact, and you will soon take over our nightmare.
"Oh?" Roland is unacceptable.
"Why do you think we should stay on this plateau with nothing?" He raised the volume a bit, "Look at the good things you do, human beings will die for you!"
"Yes, you are too serious, I don't recite this pot." After hearing this, Roland probably understood the intention of High Priest. Church is really unwilling to make himself comfortable in attacking Holy City, even if he is essentially unable to stop, he must make a mental trip. This hand Zero was also played before the decisive battle, but the original intention is completely different. If he is a person who knows nothing about War of Divine Will, then when he learns that Devil is about to perish humanity soon, he will be surprised. Mouth. If you add some more vinegar and put the classic black pot of "human destruction is your fault" on your head, its lethality is no less than mental pollution.
"Pot? Huh ... nonsense, do you think I'm joking? Young His Majesty The King, it seems that the adult Pure One has not told you the truth of the matter." Jacob stunned Isabella meaningfully, "Church has an unimaginable task, and only a few high-level officials know about it. You don't know what kind of enemies we are preparing to face in these centuries. Now you destroy all this and naturally have to bear the consequences , Even if you do n’t want to, it ’s no use. When fate comes to humans, all you can do is helplessly accept it, and then watch your kingdom turn into a sea of fire! "
It seems that this guy not only wants to launch a mental attack, but also finds an opportunity to sow his relationship with Isabella, but unfortunately he sees the wrong person and expresses the wrong idea ... Roland looked at the righteous old priest, in his mind Can not help but emerge a sentence Life is like a drama, all rely on acting skills.
"You can't believe me, but the facts are beyond doubt," Jacob said with a sigh of relief, and spread out the book in his arms. "This is the Holy Book of Church's. After you read it, You will understand what stupid things we have done! We ... no, we should say that the true enemy of human beings is "
"Devil, right?" Roland interrupted him casually, "Church built Holy City here not to resist Evil Beast, but to the God stone veins in the mountains. There is a pivotal unit under the cathedral for mining God stone And the transformation of God Punishment Army, this is the core of Church's. Of course, I do n’t know if you know these, after all, the transformation ceremony can only be in the hands of the Pope. Do you still want to say the smile of War of Divine Will or gods after 400 years? The war is nothing new, and Devil is not a ghost without a shadow and no trace. In fact, I have dealt with them long ago. So ... what else do you want to say? "
"You and me" At this point Jacob was stunned. He grew his mouth and couldn't say a word for a long time. It looked as if he would breathe out at any time. It took a while before he trembled to point to Isabella, "It's you ..."
The latter shook his head slightly. "These were not told to me by him. From the beginning, he knew far more than we expected. You look down on him too much ... or, we All underestimated him. "
"Now that you've finished speaking, it's my turn," Roland sneered.
