[Western Fantasy] Cardinal's Life Goal

A man in black was on vigil, the fire was not lit, and it was pitch black on all sides.

On the same night, Sears couldn't fall asleep because he recalled Delin's death.Like everyone else, he fell on his back on the muddy wet ground, with a thin cloth under his body.The difference is - there is a boy in his arms.

Delin slept very lightly, curled up in Sears' arms, breathing slowly.Sears looked at him for a while, and carefully tried to pull out his arms to get up...but was caught upright by a pair of arms.The envoy was slightly stunned, and saw Delin hooking his neck in a daze, half-closed his eyes in a daze.

It was startled, but still did not wake up.

Sears said in a low voice: "I can't sleep, go out for a walk." Then he tried to push the boy back, but Delin said slowly in a hoarse voice: "I... can't sleep either."

The angel looked at the boy's sleepy black eyes, and was almost amused by him.He stretched out his arms and picked up the boy—in a princess hug posture—and stood up.Delin grabbed Sears' hem slightly sideways and rubbed it drowsily.

The two who left the camp didn't see Shibayanzang turning over sadly.

Sears picked a big tree, and then patted the boy on the back.Delin opened his eyes and looked at the dense leaves in the canopy of the tree. For a long time, he twisted his waist and clamped Sears' neck with his legs, and then held the shortest branch with both hands. Where did you go.When Sears found the boy on a tall branch, the man was serious about cleaning up the dirt and bugs there.

Sears pulled out a blanket and laid it out, pulled the boy into his arms, and asked, "Are you awake?"

Delin was stunned for a long time before he said slowly, "I'm awake."

The two sat on the tree for a long time, but they were silent and did not speak.Sears squinted at the sky that had been cut into small pieces above his head for a long time, and finally asked, "Is the equipment Momo made suitable?"

Delin squinted his eyes for a while before answering: "I'm afraid of being exposed, I haven't used it yet."

"It's almost ready to try tomorrow," Sears said.

After finishing this meaningless conversation, he took out an ancient book on threading from the magic weapon.The book looked a little worn, with slightly curled edges and yellowing, but it was still in good condition—at least not disintegrated.Sears' fingertips lit up with a dim light like a firefly, and then Delin saw that it was an ancient book about formations.

He became slightly sober and understood what Sears wanted to do.

After turning over a few pages, Sears skipped them all.The two compared the basic frame of the formation and the decorative flowers on the side of the formation bit by bit with the help of divine light in the dark, and finally found the one they wanted after a long time.

"This is a combination array." Sears said softly, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the paper - a dizzying light came out from the lines, and then Sears' hands seemed to be bound by something As if unable to move, "It is solidification, and exorcism. It is specially designed to deal with foreign invaders... It can reduce the power of the gods. And some auxiliary functions."

"The blade... is used to attack outsiders. It also carries the power of curse."

Sears pulled his hand back with difficulty, and the light on the paper suddenly went out: "It will take two years to complete this formation. At least two years."

Delin pursed his lips: "White jade has the meaning of cleanliness in the Holy See of Oswald. It seems that it was indeed built for Sikasler. Although Oswald has fallen into a deep sleep, he still feels uncomfortable when he loses his mind. They are excluded by the rules. Xi Kasler must have had a hard time in recent years, so much white jade, I am afraid it is not Sanmai's handwriting."

Sears was thoughtful: "This is requested by your great saint herself. It seems that she is not in a hurry to come here."

"The Holy See of Oswald is still unstable. Gusen (the current Pope of Oswald) needs her Anjaka's heart to seize the theocracy." There was a trace of coldness on Delin's face, with a knife in his eyes, "After a few years when the Holy See is slightly stabilized, Sicastle will be able to come to Chemiye, and then the power of the three veins can help them completely consolidate their theocracy." The young man cursed softly, "Traitor."

Patting the back of the boy's hand reassuringly, Sears said softly, "It's amazing, you can think of so many." There was indeed a hint of surprise in his tone.

Delin woke up like a dream, and hung his head in embarrassment: "...I stole Sicastler's plan." After a pause, "She won't change the plan because of this, because she thinks, even if I understand, And powerless to stop her - that's true, too."

When Delin said this, he felt a little frustrated... Gusen's strategy succeeded, and they placed themselves in a small study building, so they were so stupid that they couldn't do anything. In the end, for them, except for the Blade of Anjaka, "Linde" is nothing.

Without Sears...

The envoy noticed something, and the envoy put his arms around the boy's arms and exerted strength. "Don't think too much." He said, with a gentle voice: "You should know how powerful you are to be invincible. You have the sharpest sword in the world, and only you can cut through Shenhui."

Sears rubbed the top of Delin's hair with his chin, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Aren't you the same as me, who firmly regards the oracle as the truth?"

Delin was slightly taken aback, he realized what Sears was about to say.

"Oswald chose you." The envoy said in a word, "then only you, only you."

A beast's cry passed across the mountains, and the night wind suddenly blew up.Delin reached out and touched the blade of Anjaka locked tightly around his waist—this is the blade of blessing, and it is also the blade of curse.As long as he exists, no one else in the world can pick it up.

Sears was right, it was his own mission.

Seeing the boy's gradually sharpening eyes, Sears suddenly smiled.It was a smile with a sense of distance that he hadn't shown for a long time, as if he was sure of victory.

He asked, "Are you sleepy?"

"... sleepy." This time Delin told the truth.

Sears chuckled and kissed the boy's side face: "Then go to sleep."

……

When George woke up the next day and found that Sears and Delin were gone, he let out a horrific cry, which woke everyone up.While the four of Momo were thinking in panic about "why these two guys disappeared again", Delin and Sears walked back slowly.

"What happened?" Delin held the knife vigilantly.

Momo swallowed the words in her mouth, and answered weakly: "...it's all right."

Half of the days of mountain trials have passed, and everyone has probably adapted to this rhythm.The men in black disappeared as mysteriously as they came after Sears explained something.

In the morning, Quina stepped on her boots and crossed the hill to find a very clean stream. Everyone washed and cooked, and then got together to discuss the road ahead.

"Let's practice our hands, and then go here." Sears took out the map that he and Delin found, and clicked on the location of the gear.

Seeing everyone hesitantly looking at this apparently unfamiliar new map, Delin had no choice but to briefly describe what happened to the two of them in the past few days.He didn't shy away from anything, other than a few details about Sears' dual identity with himself.

"So." Binhuo finally concluded, "We want to join this game?"

Sears nodded slightly: "It's very dangerous, so we need to practice and choose a good road." His fingertips lightly tapped the positions of several people on the map-there were actually marked on the map This water source - this small stream is very long, and the place where the few people are should be a place downstream.Up along the stream, the lairs of many evil beasts are located.And getting stronger and stronger.

"Follow this water and finish this road, and we will turn our heads here - at that time, we were only a kilometer away from the final location." Delin looked up at the crowd, "We will have a good rest at that time, and we will pass through this area in the middle of the night. shrubs, you can get there."

Quina sat without the slightest aristocratic girlishness, and said aloud: "What about me and Momo? Momo will never fight - and I haven't passed the knight examination yet." She curled her lips, "Great Oswald should have seen how foolish some of his people are to keep a trainee knight from wearing a sword and shield!"

The rules of wearing a sword and shield were set by Goosen—he was afraid that those hot-blooded little knights would do something "stupid" that would destroy his plan.And as a glorious member of the Andre family, Quina has expressed great dissatisfaction with the bald Pope since she was a child—thanks to Oswald's name taboo, otherwise Quina would not mind at all Abandon what little etiquette she has left, and be a sinner who insults the Pope.

Sears' eyes fell on Quina's back. There was a huge sword there, and it was hard to imagine a girl wielding it—no, Quina's words did not feel inconsistent.He thought for a while, and finally made a simple and rude decision.

"If we can't stop it, you can swing the sword." Sears sighed, "The future Oswald female knight."

Quina was obviously satisfied with this title, she squinted her eyes and showed a bright smile.

Everyone got up and packed their things.

Delin hesitated for a moment, and quietly found Quina.He pursed his lips and said in a dry voice: "I heard that your father is coming soon?"

Although a little confused, the girl nodded.

"When the trial is over... I have something to tell you." Delin said with a sigh of relief.

George on the side glanced at Sears with some anxiety.I thought to myself, probably... it's business, right?
