Chapter 431
431 The Pope and the fallen angel
It was an old man who was about to die. He was wearing a black robe with gold edges. His white hair was sparse, his skin was loose and covered with age spots, and his light blue eyes were turbid. He must have had a pair of blue eyes like the sea when he was young.
In the Cathedral, all the higher-ups of the church who were participating in the meeting could not help but stand up. They placed their right fists on their chests and saluted the old man. This was supposed to be a ritual that only the Pope was qualified to use.
Quinn Adams.
To the younger generation of the church, this name was like the portrait of a Sage hanging on the wall.
The 13th commandment group’s leader!
The Dragon Knight was the leader of the fifteenth discipline group.
The old man was active in the middle of the last century. He was an old man of the church of the same generation as the Pope. In the distant past, the Pope, the captain of the Holy Knights, and the captain of the ascetic Knights were known as the Iron Triangle of the church. They had fought side by side and left behind countless glorious deeds.
“Quinn, my old friend, why are you here?” The Pope smiled.
Quinn Adams slowly walked into the church and stepped onto the Scarlet carpet. As he approached, he stopped and raised his head slightly to look at the Pope’s equally old face.”Your Excellency, my life is coming to an end.”
The church immediately burst into an uproar.
The bishops looked at each other, their faces full of grief.
Quinn Adams had been alive for more than 90 years, almost a century. Decades ago, this old man had retired behind the scenes and spent his retirement in the headquarters of the church. He rarely showed himself, and the bishops present could not remember the last time they had seen him.
The lifespan of demon descendants was far longer than that of ordinary people, but often the powerful demon descendants did not live long. More than 90 years old, even in the longevity of ordinary people, was only longevity, and it was nothing.
Because the trauma that a demon descendant suffered in his life was enough to make an ordinary person die a thousand or ten thousand times. After all, demon descendants were only made of flesh and blood. Even if these injuries were healed, they would leave behind all kinds of hidden injuries that would consume their lifespan.
It was just like how an ordinary person’s body would be weak for many years if they suffered a fatal injury.
Since ancient times, most of the Gokudo Masters and half-step Gokudo Masters had killed their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
“Even you have reached this point?” The Pope sighed.
“Life and death, the cycle of reincarnation never ends. Your Excellency, there’s no need to feel sad for me. ” I already know that the blood Knights have betrayed the church, ” Quinn Adams said in a low voice. let me contribute my last bit of strength to the church.
The Pope stared at him for a long time. alright.
……
In a small town far away from Berlin.
The Chinese translation was Karlins. Li Xianyu didn’t know much about Germany and didn’t know what class the city belonged to. However, according to the urban infrastructure, it was at most a third-tier city in China.
A city’s wealth could not be judged solely by its infrastructure. The past sometimes represented the foundation. Although li Xianyu had never been out of the country before, he had been to Xiangjiang several times. Other than the core areas, the other places looked worse than the third-tier cities on the mainland.
However, the per capita income in Xiangjiang was twice that of the mainland. Even if you were to carry a plate in a restaurant, you would earn more than 5000 Yuan a month.
Apart from the city’s appearance, the population here was not large, and it was rare to see crowds of people on the streets.
The Blood Knight said that it was still ” lively ” now. A few years ago, there was a refugee crisis in Europe. Germany was the first to bear the brunt and took in a large number of refugees.
Europe’s long-term free flow of population and border opening policy has led to the infiltration of terrorism and cultists. A few years ago, I personally dealt with an evil cult.”
When they talked about this topic, they were hanging out in a bar at night.
Li Xianyu and blood Knight were lying on the edge of the second-floor booth, overlooking the lively dance floor below. The lights were ambiguous, and women in bikinis were showing off in the middle of the dance floor, making all kinds of naked flirting movements.
On the dance floor, men and women were twisting their bodies and shaking their heads.
It had been two days since the battle in the forest. They went into the city to buy supplies, and Leon suggested that they come to a bar to relax and relax.
The Blood Knight was an experienced man. He knew that if he was in a nervous state of running for his life for a long time, he would eventually break down, so he agreed.
Bringing a girl to a bar was the dream of all men. Leon laughed at that time and said to li Xianyu, ” I’ll show you an exotic bar.
At first, li Xianyu really thought that he was a nightclub veteran, but he found out that he wasn’t. The man entered the bar, straightened his back, and his face was stiff. He sat there and began to drink without a word.
Look at li peiyun, who was usually proud and indifferent, now with his legs crossed and his eyes narrowed, he had a bit of a frivolous style of a noble young master.
“I know. He killed Zhen guanxi with three punches.” Li Xianyu said.
“Zhenguanxi?” The Blood Knight was obviously not a foreigner who loved literature.
I’ve never heard of the famous guanxi bro.
it’s a cult leader from ancient China who was killed by a righteous monk with three punches. Li Xianyu simply told him about nie zhishen’s deeds.
what? ” the Blood Knight was shocked. history is surprisingly similar.
He had also killed a cult leader with three punches. He was also an expert from a religious organization. He was also a Bandit now.
“Then what happened to that righteous monk of yours?” The Blood Knight asked.
This was difficult. Li Xianyu’s impression of famous literary works was only in movies and TV dramas, and he only looked at them from left to right. He had never read the original work. Even the most familiar Journey to the West, the TV series, the anime, and the comic books, he had never touched the original work.
“In the end, he was killed by the Imperial court,” he said regretfully after some thought.
In any case, The Good Men on the Liang family seemed to have been killed by the Imperial court in the end, and Lu Zhishen was probably no exception.
“History always looks the same,” the Blood Knight quickly corrected himself.
Li Xianyu smiled, took out a small makeup mirror from his pocket, and looked at himself in the mirror.
He was looking at his makeup. After being kidnapped by the blood Knights, he had been through a night of torture, and then two days of travel. He did not even dare to wash his face.
After finally entering the city, she put on a mask and went to the mall to buy some cosmetics before touching up her makeup.
Protector right was a clever girl. Considering that she might not be by his side, she had taught him how to put on makeup early on.
I’m already a mature crossdresser, I have to learn how to put on my own makeup.
With such an idea, li Xianyu learned it very seriously.
His makeup was not as exquisite as the right Guardian’s, but it was enough to cover his previous facial features.
A blonde beauty in a spaghetti strap dress came out of the dance floor and locked onto their table. She first seduced li peiyun and said a few words in German, but li peiyun ignored her.
Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t understand the language.
The blonde woman’s gaze fell on Blood Knight again. She saw that he was chatting animatedly with a tall man in women’s clothing. She was sensible and did not approach him to strike up a conversation. According to this order, the last person to choose was Leon and calories.
Calories were eliminated. There was no other way. He was too thin and had burned too many calories. He was tall and thin like a stick. Presumably, his bed skills were not that good. In Europe and the United States, women’s aesthetics were still biased towards strong and handsome men.
It was not like in a certain country where men put on smokey makeup and dressed up as neither a man nor a woman, which was particularly popular.
Leon, who had a well-proportioned body and a handsome face, became her target.
“Hey, handsome, can you buy me a drink?” The blonde woman winked at Leon.
Leon looked at him without saying anything.
“Treat me to a drink. I’ll do whatever you want me to do.” The woman said.
Calories whistled and hinted to Leon with his eyes.
Leon was a little embarrassed at first, but he immediately nodded and agreed.
After finishing the glass, the blonde woman sat down on the sofa and leaned against Leon’s body. She felt his hard muscles and was very satisfied.
“What do you want me to do?” The golden-haired woman’s eyes were like silk.
It was late at night, and it was time to do what needed to be done. She even hinted that there was a Youth Hotel at the intersection if she turned left after leaving the bar.
Everyone was looking at Leon with ambiguous eyes.
“Anything will do?”
“Yes.”
Leon swallowed his saliva and hesitated for a long time. “Go and pay the bill.”
“fuck!”
The blonde woman walked away in anger.
“Hahaha …” Calories laughed so hard that he rolled over on the sofa. Blood Knight shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Li peiyun looked at Leon as if he was a fool.
“…..”Li Xianyu was stunned for a long time. was he teasing that woman just now? ”
The Blood Knight took a sip of the beer in his hand and said helplessly, ” “No, I promise. He wants to take off his Virgin status more than anyone else.”
“But Leon has a fear of women. He was an assassin trained by the Imperial court and had never come into contact with a woman before the age of eighteen. Because of the long-term suppression, he had developed a fear of women. He did not dare to touch them. He was afraid to touch them. That was why he was still a Virgin. He’s just good with his mouth, but he doesn’t have much courage.”
Li Xianyu remembered the words the Blood Knight had said to Leon when they first met.
So he was the strongest Esper.
this is nothing. I’ve seen someone with a scarier fear of women. Li Xianyu said, ” I have a friend. In his eyes, women are shit. The more beautiful a woman is, the more she looks like shit. He refused to have any physical contact with any woman. Even if it was just a handshake, he would want to cut off his own arm. I even feel that breathing in the same room as a woman is a very torturous thing.”
“Then in his eyes, you must be the woman who looks like shit the most in the world.” The Blood Knight teased.
“…..”
The Blood Knight’s words struck li Xianyu’s mind like a bolt of lightning.
Aiyo, I don’t know if my seduction ability has any effect on King Kong. Maybe it can cure his fear of women.
If King Kong’s fear of women could be cured, it would be a great thing for both his friends and himself.
However, if his fear of women was not cured and instead caused him to be addicted to the character ” li Qianyu “, wouldn’t he be shooting himself in the foot?
As a result, in the hustle and bustle of the bar, li Xianyu silently dispelled the idea of saving his Vajra phobia.
I can cross-dress to deceive people for the mission, but I can’t forget that I’m a man. Cross-dressing bosses also have dignity.
“What do we do next?” Li Xianyu’s thoughts returned and asked.
“I don’t know,” The Blood Knight said.
“…. I’ll give you a chance to organize your words.” Li Xianyu said.
“But I really haven’t thought it through yet.” The Blood Knight shrugged and said,”we have to investigate this, but how?” After more than 30 years, the old head of the Kashub family had died. The “mastermind”-the arch-Cardinal-had also died. Kurter Kashub only knows a little about the details, but it’s far from enough to be an important clue.”
that’s why the Pope isn’t panicking at all. He’s too lazy to personally chase after you. He’s certain that you can’t find out the truth. “Old ginger is spicier,” li Xianyu said with emotion.
yes, investigating cases doesn’t suit me at all. I prefer to use a sword to cut people. It’s simple and straightforward.
“But you can’t kill the Pope.”
you’re a little insensible sometimes, ” the Blood Knight said after a long silence.
After complaining, he pinched the space between his eyebrows in distress.”No one can do anything about this kind of case. It’s too difficult, too difficult.”
“Sometimes, you don’t have to deliberately pursue the truth, and you don’t have to push yourself too hard. You just have to find out the truth as soon as possible. With such an attitude, most of them will have to kneel in the end.” Li Xianyu drank half a bottle of beer in one breath, holding the bottle between his fingertips and shaking. “Anything that has been done will leave traces. Just like the strokes drawn on white paper with a pencil, just because you couldn’t see it didn’t mean it didn’t exist. As long as it existed, it would be captured. There’s a China saying that goes,”if you don’t go, the mountain will be yours.””
The Blood Knight repeated,”if you don’t go to see the mountain, the mountain will come to see you.”
After a long while, he shook his head.
Li Xianyu waved his hand tiredly. that’s why international communication is really difficult. You don’t understand the essence of our Chinese at all.
The Blood Knight gave him a funny side-eye.”It’s your translation that’s not good. A good translation doesn’t translate the words, but the content.”
maybe, ” li Xianyu shrugged.
“The Lord said that people with faith should be abstinent. Letting one’s desires go wild will only lead to one’s downfall. But if it’s possible, I hope Leon can indulge for once.” The Blood Knight suddenly said.
“Because the road ahead is long, you’re letting yourself go before you die?” Li Xianyu asked.
“This sounds inauspicious, but it is true.” “Do you know why the three of them are following me?” the Blood Knight asked.
Li Xianyu shook his head.
“When I was fighting the Pope, most of the people, including many of my loyal old subordinates, chose to stand on the side of the Pope without hesitation. Only the three of them chose to follow me. Calories and Jenny were doing it for their faith. They thought I was right. Leon has been with me since he was fifteen, and it has been ten years since then. It doesn’t matter if I’m a righteous partner or a fallen heretic, he will follow me without hesitation.” The Blood Knight said.
Li Xianyu thought about it, and replaced the Pope with Buddha head, and the Blood Knight with Jie se. If one day Jie se betrayed them, how many monks in Lianghua temple would follow Jie se and leave the sect?
Thinking about it this way, he realized that the Blood Knight’s personal charm was surprisingly strong.
Li Xianyu and the Blood Knight clinked their glasses and took a sip of wine. He said, ” “If it’s convenient, tell me about the situation at that time.”
“Didn’t I tell you a few days ago?” the Pope wanted to purify pais, ” the Blood Knight said, not understanding. I didn’t agree, so there was a conflict.
“The Pope is not willing to make an exception?”
“Yes.”
“Is he always this meticulous?”
“No, he’s famous for being kind.”
“So you feel that something is wrong.”
“Yes, I am.”
Li Xianyu’s fingers gently tapped on the railing, and it could be seen that the Pope was determined to get the fallen angel. He was desperate to ” retrieve ” the fallen angel. However, according to the records, the greatest effect of a fallen angel was: Preach and control believers.
It was a sharp weapon for the Supreme Court, but it was not important for a Gokudo master.
Was the Pope’s desire for fallen angels because the church needed fallen angels, or because he needed fallen angels?
Li Xianyu was inclined to the former.
The Pope had planned for many years to secretly refine fallen angels in order to expand the territory and expand the power of the church!
This was the most reasonable truth that li Xianyu thought.
Because fallen angels were taboo, even the Pope could only secretly refine them and could not expose them. Otherwise, his image and reputation would fall apart.
Of course, all of this was based on the premise that the blood Knights were on the side of justice.
Li Xianyu told his speculation to the Blood Knight. After he heard it, he fell into silence.
“If that’s the case, what are you going to do?” Li Xianyu asked.
in the beginning, I just wanted to live. I wanted to escape with pais and survive. The Blood Knight thought about it and said seriously, ” if the truth is as you said, fallen angels are taboo, and the Pope has broken the rules, he must apologize.
“I can help you send out a lawyer’s letter.” Li Xianyu laughed.
At some point in time, there were fewer and fewer people in the bar. The guests left in batches. They tried their best to remain calm, but there were still some people who were not mentally strong. They left in a hurry, as if they were fleeing.
Li peiyun woke up from his drunken state, got up suddenly, and looked around vigilantly.
Leon, Jenny, and the others reacted a little slower. They only reacted after more than half of the customers in the bar had left.
He didn’t take the chance to blend into the crowd, nor did he leave immediately. He just stood behind the blood Knight silently.
The Blood Knight was unmoved. He quietly watched the bar empty. The gorgeous lights flickered, and the dynamic music from the speakers echoed in the wide space.
Only the six of them were left in the bar.
