Cesare no longer thought about it, and after exchanging places with Anya, he headed back in the direction of Carl Flow, bypassing the previously abandoned town and passing by a simple solitary grave.
It was the grave of a strange old woman who had deceived Cesare and Anya in an abandoned town and tried to feed passing travelers to her son who was infected with mycelium. After that, he suffered retribution and was bitten to death by his so-called "son" who was still alive...
Although the old woman lied, Anya still took Cesare and dug a shallow pit for her before leaving, and buried the old man in her hometown. As for her infected son, he turned into a corpse after his death. The thick water from the beach blends into the ground.
I hope he died in his hometown, at least staying with his mother forever, just like the old woman once insisted, this is their home, they will never leave home, never again... …
It was another round of sun rising in the east and setting in the west. When the dense forest became sparse, it was almost to the edge of this terrible place, and it was almost dusk again.
The horse moved forward, at just the right speed, neither too fast nor too slow.
Anya sat sideways on the horse behind Cesare. The girl's legs were swinging around. Although the posture was very dangerous and she could easily fall off the horse, she had enough vision to see the scenery on the roadside, not just Seeing Cesare's back made it worth it.
Watching the setting sun sinking into the forest to illuminate the more distant sky, Anya leaned forward and slowly leaned on Cesare's back.
"Classmate Cesare, do you know why I always follow you? No matter where you go, I will find you." Anya suddenly asked, not knowing what tricks she was trying to play.
Cesare just shrugged his shoulders and responded casually. "Do you still have a reason for doing things?"
Anya seemed very satisfied with the answer. She put three fingers to her lips and smiled softly. However, although it was interesting, it was not the correct answer.
"You know, Cesare-san, I've actually been paying attention to you." Anya looked down at her toes swaying back and forth and said with a smile.
"I remember you said this. After the auction, you followed me specifically to repair the mechanical heart." Cesare said this before suddenly remembering something.
"Oh yes...I'm sorry, I forgot all about that device. I forgot to ask people in the family..."
Listening to Cesare's apology, Anya shook her head.
"It doesn't matter, that thing is not important to me at all. The essence of adventure is to enjoy the process and not to achieve the goal. What's more important is..." Anya paused and her swinging legs slowly stopped. down.
"I've actually been paying attention to you a long time before the auction... It's just that, classmate Cesare, you only focused on your own life and never noticed." As she said that, Anya's smile became a little forced, as if suddenly I feel a little wronged.
"Have you always...?" Cesare seemed to know some terrible truth and turned his face in confusion. "But...why?"
Facing Cesare's rhetorical question, Anya was silent for a while, as if she couldn't quite explain the reason.
"Because Cesare is very mysterious..." Anya said weakly, not like her usual posture but more like an ordinary girl. However, this answer was obviously not convincing, so she continued to explain. With.
"From the day I entered school, no one liked me. Either they thought I was crazy, or they didn't dare to contact me because of the family's reputation, and I didn't want to change myself to cater to them. I... I have actually always been I want a friend..."
Listening to Anya's explanation, Cesare was surprised. In his impression, Anya was so free and unrestrained. She never cared about the eyes of the world. He never thought that she would care a lot in her heart and feel lonely. Need companionship.
I wanted to open my mouth to comfort her, but then I thought about it carefully...
Isn't it true that he is like this? He was discriminated against in school because of family affairs. In a way, he is very similar to Anya. In order not to be hurt, he pushes the people he tries to get close to far away. In this way, he has Who are you to comfort this girl...
Anya said, her eyes drifting away to the other side of Cesare, as if she was too shy to look directly into Cesare's eyes.
"But classmate Cesare, you are always very mysterious. Compared with other classmates, you are neither snobbish nor cowardly... You can always stick to your own style under the strange eyes of others. You are much stronger than me...
So, I just thought, maybe if there is an opportunity, I can be friends with you. "
Anya resisted the corners of her mouth from drooping, and clenched her right hand nervously in front of her chest.
"That's why I asked my dad to buy the machine after seeing you at the auction, and then the dance and talking to you...
I've actually been afraid that you would reject me, that you would still be unwilling to accept a friend like me after revealing your unknown side... This is like some kind of..."
The girl smiled bitterly as if she was laughing at herself.
"Gambler's Spirit."
The jadeite at the same moment.
The black ceremonial car slowly stopped in front of the cathedral. The guard at the door stepped forward, stopped the ceremonial car with one hand, and held the hilt of the sword at his waist with the other hand.
The driver got out of the car. He was wearing a black big-brimmed hat, a dark military uniform, and snow-white gloves. He glanced at the guards coldly and handed them a document with a silver badge on the black bottom. In front of the guards.
This document can only be owned by one organization, and it is the mark of an organization that most people talk about in disgrace - the Inquisition. The Inquisition, or the Inquisition, the Inquisition.
It is better known to the people by another name, the Ministry of Divine Faith and Theory, or the Ministry of Doctrine for short.
The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is one of the nine holy departments of the Papal State. This department is responsible for religious affairs. No one knows how many people there are in their department, but they only know that they have great authority.
The authority of the Inquisition also includes investigating all serious crimes within the church. Monitoring personnel, including the Pope and members of the Council of Cardinals, are all within their sight, and even the cardinals are no exception.
As long as they are dangerous elements that may threaten the Holy Religion, they have the right to arrest, try, and even directly obliterate them.
Since the day the church was founded, countless people have been secretly executed by the Inquisition. They are also known as the Blades of the Papal State. No one wants to "theory" with them to try how powerful this knife is. sharp,
The guards stood upright and saluted, and the friction between the military uniforms made a neat sound. The Inquisition Bureau has extremely high power within the church, and can come and go freely in the papal country without communication.
Under the watchful eyes of the guards, the driver returned to the car, and the limo slowly disappeared into the garden behind the church.
In the garden, a lady in white robes was waiting here early.
From the mud spots splashed on the car, it could be seen that the limo did not stop for a moment on the road. It took ten hours to rush back to Feilengcui. An old man slowly stepped out of the limo.
"He's back?" "Yes, Lord Richelieu, the Holy See is waiting for you inside." "Winnie, do you have something to ask?" Looking at Winnie's hesitant expression, Bishop Richelieu stopped. steps.
"I borrowed the Tribunal's car, so the cardinals should already know about it..." "It's okay Winnie, they will know about it sooner or later when Cesare comes back."
Winnie shook her head, these things were not her thing to worry about. The two walked through the garden, and an exquisite auditorium appeared in front of them. Richelieu opened the door of the auditorium. The other dozen or so cardinals in the auditorium had been waiting here for a long time.
Winnie led Richelieu into the house, then stepped out and closed the door.
There are about forty cardinals in the Papal State. Some are stationed in various dioceses, some are affiliated with the Council of Cardinals, and the dozen or so here are affiliated with the Papal Hall.
“The main reason for calling everyone here today is for two things. The first is that our war with the Varkings is about to enter a decisive battle.
Although we have defeated them several times in previous battlefields, we are at a disadvantage in terms of total numbers. Even if the loss ratio is one for ten, we will be the losers in the end. We need to find a way to solve this problem once and for all.
The second thing is, please help save a child. "
Everyone here thought that the Pope must have something important to recall all his cronies, but what they didn't expect was that the second thing was just to save one person.
Since this matter is as important as the decisive battle with the Varkings, it can be seen how important this person is in the heart of the Pope.
