[Notre Dame de Paris] Papal Way

I had long expected that my corpse would be very popular, but I never thought it would be so popular.

Ace watched Phobus appearing under the moonlight almost numbly, with a long sword on his waist, and his aura was overwhelming.He seemed to have slipped here quietly, and he didn't wear a hat, and he didn't ride a horse. His clothes were also very inconspicuous for his identity, as if he didn't want anyone to notice him.However, after seeing that someone had already taken a step ahead of him and snatched up the corpse on the gallows, he immediately ignored any concealment, and tried to scare the gangster away with the aura of the captain of the imperial archer.

While yelling "who", he drew out his rapier and aimed at the two shadows, one tall and one short, on the stage: "Stop, bastard! Put him down!"

When he saw the person coming, Claude subconsciously covered his appearance with the hood.Quasimodo couldn't hear the sound, and only one eye could play a role, and the thing happened only for a moment. He didn't recognize that the person next to him was the adoptive father he wanted to help, and regarded him as his father. enemy.Although the man below looked tall and heroic, and the rapier in his hand reflected the cold moonlight, he was brave and not afraid. He stretched out his arms and was about to jump off the stage and knock Phoebus down on the ground. land.

However, he still held the cold and stiff corpse in his strong arm, so it was naturally inconvenient to move.Although Claude didn't understand why his adopted son appeared here, he was confident in his control over the adopted son, so in the blink of an eye, a judgment had been made - now is not the time to entangle with Quasimodo, or It's better to take down the person who is most in the way first.

He and Phoebe had nothing to do with each other at first, but only met several times because of Ace.When they met for the first time, he asked Quasimodo to beat up Phoebes, insulting him wantonly; for the second time, he stabbed Phoebes in the ribs with a dagger, just a short distance away. Let the other party die; the third meeting, this time... How Phoebus lost in the past, now and in the future will continue to lose!

The height of the scaffold was not a problem for him.Claude vaulted and jumped.He landed lightly, and when he stood up again, the pair of eyeballs had disappeared, and he held a sword hilt in his blood-stained palm.He pressed the mechanism, and threw out a slender blade with a cold light from the middle, and walked towards Phoebus.

This move is very impressive, Phoebes couldn't help becoming vigilant, looked up at Quasimodo, gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Okay, you and him are in the same group? One attracts my attention, and the other takes the opportunity. Running away with a dead body? Let me tell you, I am the captain of the imperial archers, and I passed by here accidentally, if I shouted loudly, do you think I and my accomplices would be arrested?"

Claude's voice was clear and low: "You won't."

"How do you know?"

"If you would, you wouldn't specifically say that you passed by 'accidentally'." Claude said meaningfully.

Both were staring at each other, and suddenly swung their blades.The sound of rapier swords clashing was particularly harsh in the silent night. The metal blades collided and rubbed against each other... The clanging sound did not last long. Phoebus, who studied under a famous master, had not experienced many duels He quickly lost the wind and had to take a step back, gritted his teeth and said, "I am very familiar with your voice and swordsmanship."

"I happen to be very familiar with you too, Mr. Faubus de Châteaupe, the captain of the imperial archers." Claude said coldly.

After a short pause, the sound of sword clashing sounded again.Quasimodo held the corpse under his arms and watched the situation below, showing obvious confusion.Confusion turned to anxiety when he saw a strand of blond hair sticking out of the brim of his hat as he stepped back so quickly.He didn't care about the corpse he just snatched, so he was about to jump down to help.However, when he wanted to throw away the corpse that was in the way, he paused again, staring at the corpse's cheek, an ugly face showing childlike curiosity and confusion.In the end, he bent down, put the corpse on the execution platform, imitated Claude and jumped down with his hands, and joined the battlefield in three or two steps.

After staring at him for a few seconds, Ace quickly recognized that this incredibly ugly man was the owner of the eye he had seen before.Claude seemed to call him Quasimodo, and the name seemed familiar... Ace tapped his head and remembered.Isn't this the name that Claude called out when he visited Notre Dame at night?

The danger of the corpse is temporarily lifted, and Ace is free to think about other things.There was no intersection between him and Quasimodo. Quasimodo would snatch a corpse back, and of course it couldn't be because he liked him.So, is it because of Claude?But if it was the corpse that was snatched for Claude, when Claude spoke just now, the ugly man clearly didn't respond. If it wasn't for being deaf and blind, this situation would be too hard to explain...

The reason why Claude wants to snatch his "corpse" back is much simpler.Although I don't know what the specific function of those eyes is, but judging from Claude's meaning, he obviously wants to make himself a puppet and take it with him.The living can give Claude the feeling, but the dead can't.He doesn't think that Claude still has any special desire for his corpse, but it's very possible to keep it as a warning for himself and keep his eyes on the way.

But it seems very strange that Phoebus would come here at such a time... Originally, the two of them rarely interacted with each other. Although they both had the idea of ​​developing a certain relationship with each other, they failed to make it to the last step, not even a real kiss. Never before, just broke up because of Claude... Phoebus mistakenly thought that there was such a relationship between him and Claude, and now it seems to be true.But his fiancée indirectly caused Ace to be arrested, and he himself directly sent Ace to prison. Not to mention love, it is simply full of hatred.

Why did he appear here like this?When he was alive, he hated and feared him, but after he died, he appeared here again... Ace's eyes couldn't help but become strange, Phoebus, he, could he have a necrophilia?

Although he thought it was quite a size, but a corpse...how would Phoebe deal with it!

Ace on the gallows thinks more and more crookedly, but the situation under the gallows has already begun to fall.After Quasimodo recognized his adoptive father and joined the battle, he snatched Phoebe's long sword with three punches and two kicks, and pinned him to the ground.Phoebus was caught off guard, and only when he saw Quasimodo did he exclaim: "It's you!?"

He recognized Quasimodo, and Claude's identity was naturally self-evident.Claude put away the long sword, and said lightly: "I have a few words to ask you, Captain Yuqian Bow and Arrow."

The situation is stronger than people, Phoebus gritted his teeth: "...you say."

"I was the one who insulted you, and I was the one who fought and stabbed you that day, Esme...Esme is clearly your lover, why did you harden your heart and send him to prison?"

"...My lover?" Phoebe's eyes widened in surprise, then he sneered and said mockingly, "Yes, he is my lover...but I don't even know his name!"

"Why don't you take this as an excuse for your cowardice?" Claude said coldly, "The reason why you pushed him as the real culprit after I left was because you were afraid that you couldn't explain it? You can’t explain why you had a private meeting with an Egyptian man in a small hotel, you can’t explain the origin of your wounds, you can’t even explain your relationship with this man... You are afraid of all possible consequences, so you just shirk it responsibility."

"I can't even be known by my fiancée. I was stabbed for this reason and lay on the bed for a week." Phoebe's voice lowered, looking at Claude, "You Win, Priest."

"If his death is my victory," Claude also whispered, "then I did win."

After a moment of silence, Phoebus suddenly began to struggle.He swung Quasimodo's arm vigorously, reaching out to hook his rapier.Claude stepped on it and bent down: "Captain, you don't want to be found here in this kind of dress in the middle of the night, do you?"

Phoebus gritted his teeth and looked at him, panting heavily.Claude pressed Phoebe's neck with his slender and perfect fingers, and said in a low voice: "Then... please keep your voice down when you are screaming."

Phoebus: "...!!"

Claude has already punched out his fist with full of anger and unsatisfied hatred.

-

Of course, Phoebe couldn't hold back the urge to scream. If he was a person with enough stamina, he wouldn't be bewitched by Ace once or twice after meeting, and follow him to the hotel in a daze.Of course, this move of his finally attracted the attention of others, and the patrol soldiers rushed over from the other side of the street.After seeing the light of the torch, Claude stopped quickly and took Quasimodo away from the alley.In order not to put himself in an embarrassing situation, Phoebe had no choice but to get up from the ground and limped into another alley.

Before the patrol arrived, Ace hung up his "corpse" again.Then he saw the saber that Phoebus had left on the ground, and subconsciously thought it might be useful, so he put it away with a space folding spell and returned to his hut.

As soon as he appeared in the room, Tutankhamun couldn't wait to pounce on him.After that, no matter what Ace said, he refused to come out of the Eye of Horus.He stayed outside for too long this time. Although he didn't maintain his physical body, for a soul like him that has gone through thousands of years, every moment of staying outside is a kind of torture, and every moment may disappear under the action of the law. .

After all, this situation happened because of him, and Ace also rarely felt a little guilty.The essence of Tutankhamun's soul is chrysoberyl, which is a variant of emerald, which can be regarded as coming from the same source, so he coveted this body very much.The soul can be replaced with a similar essence, but the damage cannot be repaired by gems.Unless you really make a body for Tutankhamun and let him warm up in it for a period of time, there is no good way.

But although he has already planned to make a body for Tutankhamun, it is not the best time yet.After thinking about it, Ace could only temporarily put this matter aside.There is another very important thing waiting for him right now.
