The knight king of the otherworldly moon

"Rebel...Rebel!"

The Pope pointed at Kirei, struggling to curse.

"Who is rebellious in the end? Is it me, or the god we once believed in?"

While speaking, Kirei openly questioned the existence of God.

"Do you understand.

What is your purpose..."

The Pope was shocked and asked with the last ounce of energy.

"My purpose is simple, all I want is the extinction of the world.

If the world comes to an end, then the tragic scene of human beings in a desperate situation must be very pleasant."

Kirei stated his purpose.

Because he couldn't solve the confusion in his heart, a believer who had believed in God all his life wanted to be redeemed from God.

However, the prayer for a long time was not answered by God, and finally one day, he found that God does not exist at all.

The wife beside her chose to commit suicide because she could not accept this fact.

It was at that moment that the man named Kirei heard the voice of the true God, and under the guidance of this voice, he finally discovered what he was interested in, and the emptiness in his heart was temporarily filled.

In order to experience that feeling again, he killed his father and killed his teacher.

Step by step, he finally came to the most pleasant direction.

"You... heresy."

When the Pope said the last words, the whole person also died.

Killing this man whom he once respected so much again, Kirei once again tasted a feeling called pleasure in his heart.

Especially after seeing the Pope's eyes just now, he felt that he had finally found the destination of his soul.

Seeing the Pope dying, Kirei didn't even look at all the treasures here.

He brought the Pope's body to the main hall, and after placing the Pope's body on the throne, Kirei pulled out the dagger... and inserted it into the Pope's heart from the front.

Then, he carefully put the Pope's hands on the daggers, making the appearance of suicide.

no.491 one step late

In the holy city of the glorious sunset, today the countdown lowered the flag, and the flag of the king of Britain was erected again.

Lucifer led the knights on the desolate avenue without much sigh.

On both sides of the stairs leading to the high hall, rows of former church knights put down their weapons and knelt on both sides, from bottom to top, and at the top are all kneeling archbishops.

These... The bishops in white have been admired by the believers, and even if they see the king, they don't have to bow.

But I never thought that one day I would become the kneeling side.

But kneeling is fine, as long as the king of knights doesn't kill them, they can just lie down.

Although humble, it is the idea of ​​most bishops.

Lucifer brought the round tables to the Pope's hall. At this time, it was no longer sacred, but rather empty.

Directly ahead, the Pope's body is lying on the throne.

"Lancelot, bring in all the bishops outside."

Lucifer was not interested in sitting on the throne.

Instead, he told the people around him.

"Yes!"

After a while, more than a dozen bishops fell on their knees in the hall with anxiety. They glanced at the Pope's body and quickly lowered their heads.

Even if they knew that the Pope committed suicide, they were afraid that Lucifer would slash at them next.

"You are a group of people who are most familiar with the Pope, and I need you to complete a task.

Did you see the corpse there, it's up to you to confirm if it's the real Pope, or something like a stand-in."

Lucifer turned his head to look at these... The former big man said indifferently.

Although he knew about the Pope from Richelieu before, Lucifer still felt a little strange.

Because from the previous information, this... Pope is not... such an enlightened person.

On the contrary, he is very selfish and even more afraid of death.

"us"

A white-bearded bishop said somewhat unexpectedly.

"If it's fake and you're real, you're lying to me.

You should understand the consequences.

On the other hand, if it is true, but you deliberately lie to save your life, the same consequences will be the same.

Go ahead, it starts with you."

Saying that, Lucifer gestured to this... Whitebeard to verify.

Whitebeard swallowed his saliva and walked over slowly.

Although he resented such a move, he still held back in order to survive.

After him, other people walked over one after another, they carefully and repeatedly verified the authenticity of the Pope, and finally came to a conclusion at the same time.

Really! This is the real Pope.

"You are sure"

Lucifer continued to ask.

His words, though calm, were more stressful than any angry words.

For a time, these bishops looked at each other in dismay, but they were not sure.

Finally, under pressure, a young bishop stepped out.

"Certainly! I'm certain that it is Pope Borgia, and if there is anything strange, it is that the Pope's two favorite ornaments are gone.

But he really taught."

Bishop Martin's words were a little flustered.

"Two pieces!"

Lucifer immediately felt that something was wrong.

Richelieu had only said one thing before, but two things appeared.

Is there a question in it that Richelieu didn't lie, and that means..., is it lost?

Or for another reason. "Yes, two, a silver frame, and a golden ring."

Martin said confidently.

"Very well! You are doing well, go down first.

Regarding your disposal, I will make arrangements later."

Lucifer's words basically meant that their lives were saved.

These bishops finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

When these people were taken down by the knights, Lucifer immediately ordered Tristan beside him.

"Master Tristan, immediately lead someone to search all of this place.

See if there's... a chamber or a golden ring or something."

"As ordered."

"Sir Siegfried, you bring together all the church members here to interrogate the golden ring."

"Yes!"

After doing this............, Lucifer himself also searched in this great hall.

At the same time, the knights began to move.

They faithfully carried out Lucifer's orders.

Lucifer wasn't quite sure about the function of the ring, but since the... Pope had everything in his body when he died, only the ring and necklace were missing.

That in itself shows that these two things are very problematic.

Lucifer came to the Pope and watched the Pope commit suicide.

How should I put it, it takes a lot of courage to aim at my heart in this way. If you are not skilled, it may be painful to die.

Also, there was too little blood splattered.

If this... The Pope took the poison, he wouldn't be surprised.

But this guy, like a warrior, chose a warrior's way of breaking.

Coupled with the disappearance of two items, I had to feel strange for a while.

Especially when one of them is related to Arcana.

Just when the others were still: searching, Lucifer discovered the strangeness of the statue behind the throne.

His eyes saw the flow of magic hidden here.

Although it is easy to ignore because of the existence of 'divine power'.

After confirming this, Lucifer raised his hand, and the magic circle between his palms began to rotate.

After a while, the magic circle under the huge statue shattered like glass, and then a gate appeared in front of Lucifer.

Looking around, the stairs inside the gate lead to the ground.

"There is indeed a secret door.

Lord Tristan, bring four personal guards and come with me."

Withdrawing his arms, Lucifer spoke to the round table that was still not far away: Looking for.

"Follow your orders!"

Lucifer led them downward, and after a while, he came to the room where the Pope really died.

In this huge basement, they saw the Pope's life-long collection, as well as the... double, a knight's long sword sunk into its body.

"This is!"

Tristan looked at everything in front of him, his face full of doubts.

"It seems that this is where the Pope really died."

Lucifer looked at the pool of fresh blood on the ground that had not completely dried up, and had an answer in his heart.

Unsurprisingly, it was the Pope who was planning to use a substitute for suspended animation.

But it was discovered, and then the fake death became a real death.

The only question now is, who was that man and why did he kill the Pope.

Judging from the fact that the other party didn't take away the wealth here, it's not killing people for wealth.

This also excludes those previous bishops.

If they found this place, they would have sent someone to remove it long ago.

Is it the fox? No, no, the fox has killed Richelieu, and she has the key.

There's no need to risk returning, and it's not fox-style.

The third unknown person.

What is his purpose? He has a grudge against the Pope. Since he disguised the Pope as suicide, it is obvious that he has been in this city for a long time. There is no trace of hatred in the murder method.
