In the end, Xia Ke and Feitan didn't continue to ask. First, they knew that she wouldn't tell them if they asked her. Her formulaic smile, which was polite but distant, and her false attitude seemed to instantly classify them as strangers. Knowing that, the two felt that they could not continue to ask. The desolation flashing in Cellululu's eyes did not escape their eyes. This was the girl's secret, but it also seemed to be a scar that had never healed. To let her Exposing her is tantamount to adding a pinch of salt to her already rotten scars. Now that this girl's importance in their hearts has become more and more prominent, neither the knight nor Feitan wants to hurt the girl out of curiosity. Keeping her further away from them.
That conversation ended in vain. In the next two days, Cellululu quickly wrote down some information on assassin techniques and senior pharmacists, and gave them to Feitan and the knight. These were the same information that Mayside had It was sealed in her memory and asked her to take it out for Feitan and the others to use at the appropriate time. It seemed that even if it was a joke, Mayside did not lose the last word. Thinking of other advanced fighting skills secrets in her mind, It can be said that a lot of painstaking efforts have been put into the spell books of all magic departments from the lowest level to forbidden spells, as well as the application techniques and experiences.
Cellululu also compiled some information that Jin, Chrollo and Illumi could use and gave it to the knight for safekeeping. She told him to wait for Chrollo and the others to come out after the trial and hand it over to them. After Feitan left Hisaros, his destination was the headquarters of the Temple of Light where Hisoka should be now - the Eastern Holy See. Its official name is Consastantin, which is also the imperial capital of the Rofia Holy Empire.
After a long-distance teleportation, Celluloid and Feitan appeared on the outskirts of Constantine, about three kilometers away from the city gate. After mitigating the side effects of space movement, the two pretended to be ordinary people. The apprentice alchemist and junior thief walked towards the city gate.
Cellululu had been here once a long time ago. When she revisited her old place, even if her memory was slightly blurry, it would not prevent her from recalling it when she saw the reality. What's more, Consusstantine was so special, and the entire sky was like As if shrouded by the aurora, there are thousands of solemn and sacred white-gold radiance floating freely. This is a miracle given by the goddess of light. It is also in this lost era when the gods have disappeared and faith is weak, the Temple of Light is still there. One of the reasons why one family can still dominate the world.
Out of a certain degree of caution, and also because of unspeakable embarrassment, Cellululu and Feitan kept a certain distance from each other. As a result, when they entered the city, they were regarded as two groups of people who did not know each other and were accepted separately. After a routine but extremely strict interrogation, the two successfully entered Consarstantin.
This city is elegant and solemn, solemn and mysterious, showing the majesty and dignity of divine power everywhere. The buildings in the entire city are classic and luxurious. They are all white circular dome buildings decorated with gorgeous and beautiful golden carvings. The roads are straight. It is wide and can run eight six-horse carriages at the same time. The city layout is strict and standardized. The commercial area, religious affairs area and residential areas are scattered in the four corners of the city. In the middle circle are the major knight corps of the temple, guarding the city. The center is also the Holy City of Light, the core of the entire Temple of Light and the Holy Empire of Rofia.
The entire city has a clear order and strict hierarchy, and everyone performs his or her duties. Cellulu and the others used to go through the south gate used by outsiders. After entering, they faced the section where the business district is located. The other gates One is a VIP passage, exclusively for bishops and above or envoys from other countries. The other is only open for the knights of the temple to enter and exit. The remaining one is for local residents of Consusstantin and related personnel of the Holy See.
This entry and exit system greatly facilitates those in power to grasp and understand the composition of people entering and exiting the city. It also makes it extremely easy to identify suspects when some major events occur. Therefore, the public security in Constantine is very good, and of course it has to be good. In this temple, the permanent legion of knights has reached 100,000 people. Almost one-third of the city's permanent population are knights or fanatical knights who follow the teachings of the Goddess of Light. The public security cannot be bad.
After finding a hotel and settling in, Cellululu went out to inquire about Hisoka's whereabouts. Feitan was not interested in Hisoka at all, so naturally she didn't care about his whereabouts at all. In addition, he wanted to pass the high-level assassin qualification as soon as possible. The pressure to remove the memory hint was there, so I spent a rare moment quietly in my room trying to figure out my skills.
Cellululu left the business district and went straight to the religious affairs area. She did not go directly to the major knights to find someone. Firstly, she was not sure which knightly order Hisoka belonged to. Secondly, she was a little worried about the original relationship between Hisoka and Jia. I don’t know if they have successfully exposed and resolved the archbishop’s rebellion that Radia mentioned. Therefore, it is necessary to first understand the recent developments in the Holy See.
After receiving a baptism of primary blessing skills at the service center, Cellululu received the news that the Holy See had had no major events recently. Later, she learned from the external trial department of the Inquisition that no blasphemous sinners had been sentenced recently. She suddenly felt There are two possibilities for this kind of calmness. One is to cover up the archbishop's rebellion scandal, and deliberately make it so that nothing happens. It is just a secret execution. The second situation is worse, and Cellululu does not want it. I saw it, that means Galadia and Hisoka failed to expose, so they are so quiet. If this is the case, then the current situation between them may not be very wonderful.
Which one it was? Cellululu couldn't tell for a moment. She just wished she hadn't remembered clearly the name of the archbishop Galadia had mentioned. She remembered that the Holy Empire of Rofia was a theocratic country with the supreme ruler. It is the Pope, who has three archbishops under him, who are in charge of the political, military, and judicial systems. The saint is the spiritual symbol of the temple, the favored one of God, and the dependent body of the goddess of light when she descends. She is independent and superior to the three bishops. , has the right to restrict the Pope, and has a veto power over the decisions of the empire, including the three bishops, and even has a group of Saint Guards composed entirely of Templar knights that only obey its orders.
It is precisely because the power of the saint is so great that it is necessary to support the false saint. However, the saint is not easy to kill. The abnormal death of the saint will cause the phenomenon of divine mourning. Even now, The light of divine favor shining above her head will dim for a day. Since there has been nothing major recently, no matter what the situation is, it means that Galadia is still alive and well, but is Hisoka, the 'insignificant' guard knight, okay? It's hard to say.
The more Cellululu thinks about it, the more uneasy she becomes. Now it seems that she can only find a way to see Galadia. If what she sees is true, then everyone will be happy. If it is false, she can also formulate countermeasures as soon as possible to explore As for Hisoka's whereabouts, fortunately, the saint is not completely isolated from the public. She will often appear at the service center to bless and treat the public.
After some inquiries, she found out that the next day happened to be the saint's monthly public blessing ceremony. Feeling both lucky and uneasy, Cellulu returned to the hotel and sat in Feitan's room for a while, talking to him. After talking about her speculation, just in case, Cellululu returned to the room and made some preparations. She worked for most of the night before she was roughly done.
The next day came as promised, and Cellululu still went alone. If Feitan didn't want to go last time, then she didn't want Feitan to go this time. If things didn't go well, it would be best for Feitan to minimize the risk. The opportunity to connect the two of them in front of others, in the large circular square in front of the Holy City of Light, Celluloid merged into the large and densely waiting army.
Not long after, the central gate of the Holy City opened wide, and a group of about a hundred temple knights ran out. After maintaining order and guarding every corner, the figure of the saint finally appeared. She walked slowly and slowly. When Xu walked out and saw the saint, the crowd suddenly became excited and surged forward, shouting 'Holy Lady'.
As Cellululu followed the crowd forward, she was also observing this Galadia. Her cold beauty like the moonlight, her elegant and noble demeanor, her compassionate and kind smile, everything she saw in front of her showed that this was her. She had met Galadia when she was in the swamp, but Celluloid still felt something was a bit inconsistent.
The saint had already begun to bless, and the light of blessing fell like rain on everyone's heads. At least this blessing seemed to be real. Cellululu closed her eyes to feel it, but then she opened her eyes suddenly. No, There is a difference in degree. Although it is still the light of blessing, the aura of the gods contained in this light is much different than what I felt in the swamp. Moreover, the same spell is used by different people, and the aura is also different. Similarly, Galadia's blessing technique at the beginning was full of generosity and fraternity of compassion for all living beings, grand and profound, but this one's aura is much shallower, as if it was pretending to be noble and tolerant but unable to fulfill its purpose.
Cellululu is almost certain that this Galadia is fake. Her mental power can match that of a Dharma God. Naturally, she feels this subtle difference is extremely obvious. But ordinary people, even Dharma Saints, probably don’t understand. It's hard to detect, right? Is this probably why no one found out that this saint was fake?
Cellululu frowned slightly and thought. After finishing the blessing spell, the saint had already begun the work of treating and meeting and encouraging devout believers. Cellululu pretended to be a devout believer and waited in line for most of the day. Finally, she got a call with Galadia. In the face-to-face opportunity, as expected, Galadia saw that she didn't show any emotion or change in her expression. She encouraged her with a few words of kindness and kindness, and then turned to the next person.
Celluloid performed a full play, showing her respect for the goddess of light and her excitement at being encouraged to be received by the saint. She pretended to be excited and waited in the square for a long time, until the saint returned to the holy city again, and then she and the others Reluctantly, the crowd left the square together.
Back at the hotel, Cellululu went to Feitana, took out a stack of scrolls and a dagger, handed them to Feitan, and said.
"Feitan, I have enchanted this dagger with a magic breaking bonus of 40%, a magic immunity bonus of 35%, a certain chance of delaying the injured opponent, and a certain chance of causing a stun effect. The scrolls are Hidden Inscriptions, Soul Protective inscriptions and three random teleportation scrolls each. Take these and leave Consarstandine. We will meet in Baibi City in a month. If Hisoka and I don't come, you can go back to the satellite city of Ienlia. Let’s find a way to contact the knights and the others before we get back together.”
Feitan didn't look at those things and just frowned. "What do you want to do? I'm with you."
"I'm going to the Holy City to find Hisoka. Galadia must have failed. They must be imprisoned somewhere in the Holy City now." Cellululu saw that Feitan seemed to want to speak and guessed what he wanted to say. He immediately blocked the way and said: "The Holy City is extremely well-defended, with inscriptions forming one ring after another. You have neither magic nor fighting spirit. Of course, even if you have it, you won't be able to use it. There is a realm of forbidden magic there, but the enemy But you are not subject to this restriction. If you go, there will be no place for heroes."
Feitan was unhappy to be called so useless by Celluloid, but he was still unhappy. After all, he was not a completely motivated person, so he didn't have to go. Anyway, he was not interested in rescuing Hisoka, but why should Celluloid Feitan was a little unhappy that Lu was going to take risks for Hisoka, "What do you think about Hisoka! He will find a way to escape. If he can't escape, it's because he is too weak and deserves to die here."
Cellululu Khan, how could he leave Hisoka alone, but if he said this to Feitan, he would probably be scoffed at, so at the moment, he could only say it politely.
"Isn't this good? After all, we are all traveling together, why not help if you can."
Feitan snorted. "Is this a matter of helping? You really did your best for Hisoka." No, it should be said that she did her best for each of them in terms of their life and death, and she was even willing to sacrifice for them. Even to the extent that she was willing to sacrifice for them, she stubbornly drew a line for herself, unwilling to get close to them, and unwilling to let them get close. This strange and contradictory attitude of being distant was really Feitan found it puzzling and a little angry at the same time.
Cellululu didn't want to continue discussing this issue with Feitan, she just emphasized it again. "Anyway, I will definitely go. If you are fine, you can leave later."
Cellululu issued an eviction order, and Feitan also knew that it would be useless if this woman was stubborn, "Just leave."
He took the scroll and dagger that Cellululu had been holding in her hand, and when his eyes fell on the dagger, he was slightly surprised and raised his eyes in confusion.
"This dagger?"
This was obviously the dagger that cut Cellululu's hand. He regretted that he had hurt Cellululu and threw it away. He didn't expect to see it again now.
"I picked it up later. After all, you seemed quite satisfied with the dagger at the time. The basic performance of this dagger is also very good. After being enchanted, it becomes a good weapon." Cellululu explained seriously.
Feitan played with the dagger, glanced at Cellululu, put away the dagger without saying anything, picked up his package, and walked a few steps toward the door. Suddenly, he stopped again and turned around.
"Hey, if I don't go, is it okay for you to be alone?"
My hero is useless, aren't you even more useless? Feitan's eyes showed this clearly and nakedly.
Cellululu was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Even if I can't save anyone, I still have no problem escaping. Besides, I won't die anyway, so you have nothing to worry about."
"Tsk, who is worried about you!" Feitan immediately turned around and left simply this time.
Cellululu waited three days after Feitan left before taking action. She knew exactly how powerful the behemoth of the Temple of Light was, and she also knew that even if she could escape this time, she might still be wanted, so even if there was a little more chance , if you can prevent them from associating her with Feitan, try your best to do it, although it seems that they will be associated in the end. Cellululu sighed, after all, they have to do the tasks together in the future, so I hope they will be involved. Let's settle this matter once and for all before anyone else does.
At night, Cellululu's figure slowly disappeared into the hotel room. She had entered the Holy City once before and had a rough understanding of the layout inside. As the saying goes, "Capture the thief first, capture the king first," of course you also need to find someone. Let’s start with the **oss. Therefore, the place where Celluloid landed was the living room where the Pope was. At least, it is necessary to find out whether the Pope knows about this matter. If he knows, there is nothing to say, just run away. If you don’t know, then you need to let him figure it out. In this way, maybe you can solve the problem once and for all with half the effort.
After getting out of the space vortex dizzily, before Cellululu could take a breath and observe the surrounding environment, a gloomy voice full of ambition penetrated her eardrums.
"Now Galadia has fallen into our hands, but the knight named Hisoka has escaped. Damn it, I didn't expect that there are dragons in this world, and they were hatched by him!"
Galadia? Hisoka? Cellululu was startled, then overjoyed. Didn't it take no effort to get it without trying to find anywhere? She immediately followed the conversation with breathless attention.
"You are a sinner, the goddess of light will definitely punish you!"
This is a weak voice full of pain. Who is this person? He was still in the Pope's living room in the middle of the night. It couldn't be the Pope himself. Cellululu suddenly had this thought. It had better not be, otherwise it would be even more difficult to expose this conspiracy. Cellululu probed out with extreme caution. He turned his head and glanced at the place where he was speaking, and was immediately shocked.
There is a bone prison made of white bones suspended in the air, with rotten flesh and blood still attached to it. Silks of it are dripping down, emitting an extremely fishy and unpleasant smell. The bones are shining with a dark light, and the seals are engraved with strange and eerie magic lines. , full of evil and dark aura of death, the bone prison is exuding black energy, which seems to be able to corrode all positive trends, including vitality, youth, magic and spiritual power. The old man's hand is locked inside Holding a scepter, white light emitted from the whole body, and he tried his best to resist. The light and darkness were wrestling with each other, but he didn't know if he had been locked in for a long time. The light was a bit dim, and the old man's energy was not very good.
Cellululu felt that what she was saying was that this person was really the Pope, because she saw that the scepter in the old man's hand was the staff of light, and the gold and diamond crown on the old man's head was also light. With the crown and two sacred objects representing the Pope's symbols in hand, this person can only be the Pope.
Standing in front of the bone prison was a man covered in a black cloak. He was laughing wildly, his laughter was vicious and harsh.
"Jie Jie, your goddess is no longer here, but don't worry, when our great Lord God revives, everything in this world will fall under his eternal rule."
The Lord God revives? who is it? Which main god? Are there such dark and evil gods among the main gods? Dark goddess? Impossible, the Dark Goddess only represents darkness, not evil.
"You are delusional. Do you think you can succeed by controlling me and creating a saint puppet? You will never find what you are looking for. Knight Hisoka has already gone to find the Holy Knight Commander. That will be the end of your conspiracy. .”
"Hmph, then Hisoka must be destined to find the Holy Knight Captain!"
What kind of holy knight leader is Hisoka looking for? But, in short, he escaped, and it was time for her to leave. If she kept listening, she would be discovered. Cellululu secretly started teleportation, but at this moment, suddenly, there was a subtle fluctuation of magic power. It rushed by in an instant.
Found out, why? Cellululu had no time to think, so she could only speed up, hoping to escape into the slit of space, but the space around her seemed to be imprisoned. For a moment, she could not open it. At this moment, a few centimeters in front of her, a A huge circular circle composed of countless magical words lingering with green fluorescence was built. The words were flying, surrounding the entire hall, and illuminating the gloomy and dim environment.
At the same time, the wild laughter stopped abruptly, and a loud shout immediately sounded,
"who!"
Cellululu screamed inwardly and could only try harder to open the entrance to the space. At this time, a black whirlwind blew in front of her and transformed into a man in a cloak. From his dark face, two bunches of needles shot out. A light like light locked on the celluloid's body, and a cold sound like water droplets in the cracks of moss scratched the surface of the skin as if it were real, and I felt a chill.
"It seems that the space vibration chain reaction array I set up has really caught the little mouse. Are you a person sent by Selina? Are you determined to be evil? Not only Hisaros, but also here, are you trying to interfere with it? Dreaming! "
As the sentences progressed, the voice became more and more chilling. Although Cellululu was confused, it was not the time to pay attention to it at this time. She just concentrated on mobilizing her mental power to fight against the flying green words around her. Trying to tear a crack.
"Hmph, don't think about it. Except for the dark elements, all the elements here have been forcibly expelled! There is also a space confinement formation. Let me see how you leave!"
The man in the cloak said viciously, and his reaction was not slow. With a wave of his hand, a huge bloody skeleton appeared on the ground, waving a sickle with a black light. It seemed that the joints were stiff but in reality, he slashed at her with a swift movement. Come.
"Undead magic?" Cellululu blurted out in surprise,
Undead magic, a subordinate form of dark magic, has become a taboo because of its evil nature. Not to mention those who know it, even all recorded books and civilizations were deliberately erased and obscured in the mythical age. , until now, except for one name, no one has seen the true face of undead magic, but now, has she seen the long-lost undead magic? Cellululu thought about it, but she couldn't avoid the slashed knife, so she had no choice but to travel through it. The knife slashed across her body, causing no physical harm, but it still seemed to be able to cause damage to her spirit.
She felt nauseous and had chills all over. It was as if everything in front of her had disappeared. She seemed to have fallen into an eternal night, never to see the light again. Cellululu fell into a daze for a second before she managed to break free with her strong mental power. .
At this time, the door of the living room was opened, and who came in? While Sai Lulu continued to mobilize her mental power to break through, she looked at the old man wearing a golden and red robe with kind eyes and a compassionate and holy image. However, it was Sai, one of the three bishops. Archbishop Deva, at this time, the surprise on his face was obvious.
"How is that possible? There is a space isolation restriction originally imposed by the Goddess of Light here. How did this woman get in?"
The man in the cloak snorted coldly and put the blame directly on Selena, "Selena is getting better and better. She can even break the isolation restriction in this space. But what can she do if she sends you in? Send you to death. ?"
"Is it that woman?" Sedeva was slightly startled, but then he opened his hands with a loving and solemn expression, but under the illumination of the firefly words, he only looked gloomy and strange.
"Poor child, if you see what you shouldn't see, all you can do is die. If you want to hate, just hate Selena who sent you as cannon fodder."
Mentor Selena was mentioned again, what happened? Cellululu shook the world, and the blood skeleton had already launched a big move. The sickle was filled with black light like a full moon, and the energy fluctuations caused the space to twist and skew. This level could no longer be dealt with by traveling through time. Lulu was startled, and was about to use some of Shuiqin's power to block it. Suddenly, a warm white light surrounded her, blocking all the evil and bloody creatures and black light. Then, something came out of her bones. Flying out of the prison, it landed on Cellululu, and everyone and everything disappeared into the temple in the white light.
"Hmph, the old immortal still has the strength to give it away."
With a wave of the magic wand, a dark beam of light penetrated into the Pope's soul. The Pope gave a painful cry again and fell silent.
After finishing taking care of the Pope, the man in the cloak turned back to Sedeva and said coldly: "Send someone to chase him immediately. Our affairs cannot be exposed."
"Yes, my lord." Sedeva bowed his head respectfully and accepted the order. After going out, he immediately issued an order to the First Order of Knights and the Inquisition. A white light appeared on his hand, and it was the image of Celluloid.
"Make a crystal ball statue of her, and issue a wanted order to branch temples in various places for trespassing into the Holy Land and stealing the Scepter of Light. In addition, notify all countries along the route to Hisaros to assist in the arrest!"
Sedeva believed that Cellulu was sent by Selena, but he was mistaken and he really mistook Cellulu's identity.
At this time, Cellululu also felt a headache looking at the scepter of light in her hand, and the last words transmitted by the Pope gave her a stomachache and a toothache.
"Leave it to Selina and ask her to invite the Holy Knight Commander and the golden dragon Mayside, saying that the remnants of the God of Destruction have been revived."
She has already gotten involved with a magical artifact, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with something that sounds like a big conspiracy, okay?
Cellululu looked at the scepter in her hand. There was no place to put it. She went there empty-handed. After thinking about it, she took off the belt that bound her robe. She looked around. It was very good. There was no one in the wilderness. There was a spot of fire a hundred meters away, but there should still be time to tie a scepter. Cellulu lifted up her robe, tied the scepter to her thigh, put down her clothes, and walked around for a while, and found that it felt natural. Finally, she walked towards the only light spot, intending to check out the situation. If she was a traveler, she might be able to ask for directions.
She had just taken a step when there was a sound of breaking wind behind her. Before Cellululu could react, a hand had already covered her mouth. Cellululu was about to teleport when a familiar voice stopped her. Although this voice sounds so elegant and pleasant now, it is not weird at all and makes people get goosebumps.
"Miss Lantis, don't scream. It's me, Hisoka, who once met you in the swamp. If you remember it, just nod and I will let go, but you don't make a sound, okay? ?”
Cellululu nodded hastily, and released the hand covering her mouth. Cellululu quickly turned around. Hisoka was wearing a silver-white knight's armor. The armor was somewhat damaged, and his half-length thin red hair covered his tiredness. With his brows and eyes, he showed a gentle smile, as if he was comforting Cellululu.
"I'm sorry, Miss Lantis, I scared you. It really happened for a reason. I have something to ask the lady, so I hope you can forgive me."
Looking at Hisoka, who was a bit embarrassed but still maintained his knightly etiquette and elegant demeanor, Cellululu paused for a long time before calling out softly.
"Hisoka."
