scepter

Things went smoothly as planned.

The wisdom of monsters is no less than that of humans. Even if they are abandoned by the gods in another plane, they can still survive these years until the day when the cracks in the plane are torn open. When the army of monsters swept across the continent, the smooth process made them gradually put their perspective above that of humans, thinking that human wisdom was nothing more than that. Even though they disdain the cooperation intention proposed by the new Pope Van Sherich, the monsters do not want to let go. With such a high-ranking partner, since the other party has shown considerable sincerity and imprisoned Yannick who intends to disclose the secret that Alfonso VIII is a monster, then the monster will naturally release the corresponding sincerity.

Thus began this private meeting at the Imperial Theater Royal.

Behind the heavy curtain, no one knew that His Majesty the Pope was coming, and of course they didn't know the content of their discussion.Next to the emperor of the Charlemagne Empire, sat his new favorite mistress and two attendants, while His Majesty the Pope was alone.In order to conceal his identity, Fansherich even wore a black cloak, because no one knew he was here.

In this case, Fansherich became the weaker party instead, not to mention that in the eyes of monsters, the new pope who continued the old pope's political philosophy is also a person with a strong desire for power. In order to achieve his own goals, Not hesitating to betray the interests of human beings, this kind of person is the favorite partner of monsters.

Now that both parties know each other's identities, there are fewer scruples in speaking. Alfonso VIII even directly told Van Sherich: He wants the territory of the three countries as the territory of the Papal State, which is impossible. , because there are a large number of monsters, more resources are needed, and he can only give him two at most.

Fansherich made it clear that two are not enough, because at that time he will have to resettle those humans who survived the war, and these people also need land to survive.

After hearing his request, Alfonso VIII immediately showed a greedy smile: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about this. We will not wipe out all human beings. After the war, we also need a large number of slaves, and Food, if we kill all humans at once, we will be very troubled!"

Vanserich frowned, and seemed to disagree with his opinion. He lowered his head slightly and folded his hands in his sleeves, as if he was thinking, and Alfonso VIII was not in a hurry to force him.

Obviously, the monster had the upper hand in this negotiation. Lily next to her even showed a smug smile. She stood up and walked towards the curtain, intending to enjoy the opera.

However, the accident happened at this time!

Just after she left her seat and took a few steps forward, a scream came from behind her.

The cry was extremely miserable, but it also implied endless viciousness. Lily turned her head quickly, but it was the figure of Alfonso VIII who staggered towards her to greet her.

Lily quickly dodged away, and Alfonso VIII rushed directly to the curtain, falling down!

Then came the scene that Prince George saw.

At the same time that Alfonso VIII fell, Lily noticed that Vanserich had thrown a small bottle aside, and the staff in his hand still had a halo.

She immediately understood that all of this was a trick of this human being. He cheated his trust, met Alfonso VIII through her, and then took advantage of the moment when they relaxed their vigilance, using the potion that could identify monsters , and the skillful silent magic, directly gave Alfonso VIII a heavy blow!

Lily was shocked and angry: "You cunning human bastard!"

"Kill-he-he!" She uttered a low and strange syllable from her throat, which was the language of monsters, but she was still using a human skin after all, so it sounded very awkward.

Her bones cracked, and a head broke through the human skin and squeezed out directly. At the same time, her limbs also tore apart the originally petite and exquisite human female body, becoming tall and thick, but her movements did not match her body. The agility rushed towards Fansherich.

Fanserich glanced out of the corner of his eye, and the two attendants who followed Alfonso VIII had the same changes as Lily!

No wonder an emperor can hide it for so long after becoming a monster!

Three monsters confronted Vansherich alone. Even if the latter had powerful magic power, he would still be powerless in the face of such a creature whose power far surpassed that of human beings. What's more, "Alfonso VIII" just fell Being injured on the second floor does not mean that he is dead.

When they rushed towards Fansherich, the wind brought by their bodies even had a sense of whistling. The monster's nails could be stretched or shortened according to their wishes, and at this time "Lily"'s sharp nails had also come. Even if he raised his staff to cast a spell now, it would take at least half a second to reach the tip of Vanserich's nose. It was impossible to avoid the fate of his nose being caught!

But the pope just took half a step back, and didn't spend time brewing magic power or spells, he just said a word coldly.

"God Punishment!"

In an instant, the white light was blazing, and the monsters only felt that everything in front of them, everything, was shrouded in the white light. In this light, they couldn't tell whether it was time that stood still, or their bodies. restricted.Like the fallen gods, everything begins in nothingness and everything ends in nothingness.

"Lily" opened her eyes wide, unwillingly, she wanted to break free from the shackles, wanting to get rid of this predicament, she even wanted to raise her head and scream, but her throat could only make a ho-ho sound.

After the sound, her eyes completely returned to darkness.

In Fansherich's view, these monsters were cut into countless pieces by the pervasive light source, and then fell one after another.

Flesh and blood all over the place.

When a god comes into the world, he only needs to say: let there be day, and there will be day; he only need to say: let there be night, and there will be night.We are in awe of it, we tremble because of it, and we worship the existence of God from the bottom of our hearts. ——Excerpted from the final chapter of "The Scroll of Light" This is the great prophecy, which is said to have been bestowed on the first Pope by the Goddess of Light.

This kind of magic, which is almost divine, can only be used by the Pope.

However, it is not without any side effects. When the human body cannot carry this kind of power that is close to the gods, it will crush the people who use it with a violent counterattack.

Fanserich suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered back a few steps, sat down on the chair stained with the monster's flesh and blood, and let out a long breath, he didn't even have the strength to lift a finger now.

However, the war downstairs is not over yet.

"Alfonso VIII" crawled up from the ruins, half of his body was restored to the appearance of a monster, and half of his body was still in the appearance of a human being. He looked hideous and terrifying, and those who hadn't had time to run screamed again. scream.

Everyone desperately wanted to squeeze to the door, but this kind of chaos caused everyone to huddle together at the door. Someone tripped in front, and someone stepped on it desperately behind. The nobles who couldn't make it to the door could only tremble nearby , I can't wait to shrink my body into the wall, those noble mages who are half buckets of water tremblingly want to take out their staffs, but unfortunately their lips are too trembling to say a spell.

Everyone knows the horror of monsters, especially those who witnessed Alexander's transformation from a priest to a monster last time. They know very well that as long as the monster gets closer here, all of them will become food in his stomach.

In this chaotic situation, no one cared about why the well-behaved emperor suddenly turned into a monster. Everyone was crying and screaming, and there was only one thought in their minds, and that was to escape.

There was no one on the stage for a long time. The actors fled in all directions, and many of them went to the backstage. It was a temporary refuge. At least the monsters would not want to go backstage to eat Human, but many nobles couldn't think of that place, they subconsciously ran towards the entrance of the theater, which caused the gate to be congested, people inside couldn't get out, people outside couldn't get in, and died trampled by their own people On the contrary, there are more people killed by monsters, which is really a living irony.

"Alfonso VIII" didn't glance at the nobles who were greedy for life and feared death, and he didn't rush to the second floor to rescue his companions, because he knew that Vasherich was there, and with the latter's The fight will be a hard fight.Monsters themselves are a selfish race, they seldom sacrifice their lives for their companions, but at the same time they are a united race, so when they see the wider living space of Olin Continent, they will not He chose to attack without hesitation.

It's just that "Alfonso VIII" didn't expect that at this time, Fansherich was exhausted because of using the big prophecy. If he ran up now, he might be able to capture a pope as a hostage, but he already has a better candidate.

That is Prince George standing in the middle of the ruins, untouched from beginning to end, very conspicuous.

The young prince looked terrified, his lips were as white as his face, and he just stood there motionless when "Alfonso VIII" turned into a monster and everyone ran away.

Ge Da was so anxious that he pulled Prince George desperately, and even wanted to carry the prince up and run away, but the prince didn't know where the strength came from, he refused to leave, and even pushed Ge Da hard: "Hurry up!" Run away, leave me alone!"

The hysterical voice couldn't hide a tremor. Ge Da knew that the prince must be terrified, but he really couldn't think of the reason why the other party insisted on staying here.

While the two were chatting, "Alfonso VIII" had already discovered this excellent hostage, and immediately took action!

Accompanied by the rattling sound of the bones, the remaining half of the human skin shattered completely, and the flesh and blood of the monster regrown from under the skin. "Alfonso VIII" quickly changed from a normal human size to a tall monster shape and moved Prince George rushed over, his blood-red eyes filled with bloodthirsty cruelty and ferocity. At this moment, "Alfonso VIII" couldn't tell that he was once an imperial emperor except for the broken cloth hanging on his body!

Ge Da didn't know that the other party just wanted to take the prince as a hostage, but this did not prevent him from drawing out his sword and standing in front of the prince without hesitation. His loyalty made him forget his fear.

"Your Highness, run! Run!" He kept roaring, trying to use his body to resist the attack of the monster.

However, to his disappointment, Prince George didn't seem to listen to his words, but kept trying to push him away with his hands.

It's over, it's too late!

Ge Da thought in despair.

The monster was getting closer and closer to him, Ge Da could even clearly see the sharp white teeth of the other party, the color of the eyeballs was branded in his heart like blood, and the blue tendons were exposed outside the red fleshy skin, just like Like the legendary devil.

Fear quickly paralyzed his brain, Gorda clenched his teeth, tried his best to control his body, and blocked Prince George behind him without moving, but he still couldn't help closing his eyes.

However, the excruciating pain of his body being torn apart did not appear. On the contrary, a howl sounded in his ear, and the eardrum felt the pain as if it had been pierced by something substantial.

Ge Da opened his eyes. He was fortunate enough to witness "Alfonso VIII" being hit hard by a white light, and the heavy body smashed several seats.

"The brand of the water god brings eternal ice, turns mountains into glaciers, and rivers into land!"

What followed was a bland incantation. Although Ge Da was not a mage, he had heard a mage recite this incantation before, and he had a vague impression that it was like a sealing technique or something.

The monster is so powerful, can such an ordinary spell as the sealing technique work?

Geda thought worriedly, but it turned out that his worry was unnecessary, because before "Alfonso VIII" got up from the ruins, he had been firmly sealed in the ice and turned into a perfect The "Exhibits of Alfonso VIII".

Then, Golda saw the silver-haired priest and a black-clothed mage coming out from a hidden corner of the theater.

"This is really an earth-shattering battle!" Yannick sighed.

"Yeah." Chris continued his succinct style.

"There has been no movement upstairs. Do you think His Majesty the Pope will be eaten by a monster?" The silver-haired priest asked his companion while rubbing his chin.

"If it is, it won't be so quiet, he will at least let out a scream." The mage in black thought for a while and replied.

The silver-haired priest was defeated by this serious answer. "Chris, did I ever tell you you're cute?"

"No, I never said that," the black-clothed mage said, "even in bed."

The priest and the mage seemed to be talking to each other. Ge Da saw that the fair face of the beautiful priest was slowly stained with a blush, and he had to say, this is very beautiful.

The prince, who had been blocked by him all this time, seemed to have regained his senses. He walked around Goda and walked towards the priest and mage.

Of course, the footsteps still looked a little trembling, but it was much better than that group of nobles.

"Thank you." Prince George said to the two, "Your Excellency Prince Chris, Archbishop Hill, please allow me to express my sincerest thanks to you on behalf of the Charlemagne Empire!"

Yanick said gently: "You're welcome, but I suggest that His Royal Highness calm down the chaos as soon as possible and appease these restless people."

what should I do?This sentence came to my throat, and was choked by Prince George. You are the heir to the empire. From today on, you must learn to face various situations independently, instead of always asking others what to do.He told himself this, and then forced himself to calm down: "You are right, thank you very much, Archbishop Hill, but this," he pointed to "Alfonso VIII" in the ice cube, "how about this?" Do you have any better suggestions?"

"Chris's spell has a long duration, but to be on the safe side, we can add a few more layers of permanent protective spells to it, and you may place it in a conspicuous place to let everyone in the empire know about it , In this way, the kings of other countries will definitely worry about monsters appearing around them. I have already contacted His Excellency Saint Simon, and mass-produced potions that can identify monsters. It will be useful at that time. We must at least keep the internal It is of great significance for mankind to form a stronger camp."

Prince George nodded: "I understand. Just do as you said. His Majesty Fanserich seems to be still upstairs. Go up and have a look at him first. I'll take care of it here."

His Royal Highness has finally grown up a bit, Yannick couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and said with a smile: "Then I will trouble you."

Seeing the figure of the priest and the mage turning and going upstairs, Ge Da found that he was full of questions and wanted to ask them, but he didn't know where to ask, "Your Highness...?"

"Geda, I know you have a lot of questions, but before that, help me deal with this place first, we still have a lot to do next!" Prince George's voice sounded extraordinarily light, As if some burden had been lifted.

Ge Da also cheered up: "Yes, my Highness, I will always stand behind you!"
