"What is this?" Bayonetta asked, pointing to the sign.
"Brotherhood of the Holy Shield!" Salomon took a deep breath. He knew that there were some weird things in this world, but he didn't expect that the Brotherhood of the Shield actually existed. This organization originated in more than 2,000 BC. When alien creatures invaded the earth, Imhotep, the designer of the pyramid, stepped forward and led an army to eliminate the alien creatures. He was known as the First Man of the Holy Shield.
Kama Taj was established by the second Supreme Mage, the Ancient One, and the history of this organization is even older than Kama Taj. Many famous figures in history are members of this organization, including Newton, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Tesla, Zhang Heng, and even... Howard Stark.
The secret of the Franciscans having so many alchemical collections was also revealed. The famous alchemist Abu Musa Jaber ibn Hayan was a member of the Brotherhood of the Aegis. Latin Alchemy It was greatly influenced by Middle Eastern alchemy. Paul's manuscripts must have been preserved here.
And if there is a manuscript by Leonardo da Vinci here, it is not so surprising that it also contains a manuscript by Abu Musa al-Jabir ibn Hayan.
Moreover, Franciscan friar Rogier Bacon's concerns about the "Antichrist" may not be unreasonable. This concern is likely to come from the documents of the Brotherhood of the Holy Shield. There are many chapters in the Gospels that describe Jesus' prophecies to his disciples about the coming great tribulation and persecution, and said that after this happened, he would return to the world as the glorious Son of Man.
What exactly is the Antichrist? What exactly is the coming disaster? The coming of the Son?
Salomon looked at the stigmata on his hand and did not dare to think about it anymore after thinking about his birth. He was still full of questions. He believed that His Holiness must know something, but no matter what it was, he needed to be prepared.
He stood up, put the hanging ring on his left hand, and drew a circle with his right hand. A circular portal with sparkles on the edge opened. On the opposite side of the portal was the Kama Taj training ground. He needs a lot of documentation, and the mystery of history is unfolding in front of him. Although the clues Salomon needs about the "Book of Darkness" are definitely here, these have become minutiae. Salomon must know how many messy things there are in this world waiting for him to face.
"Hey, brothers." Salomon leaned over and said, "Can you help move a few boxes? There are a lot of documents here, and I can't handle them all by myself. Oh, help bring some chloroform, our lovely The gray monk is probably about to wake up."
"So, we are now turning into a robbery?" Bayonetta watched with interest as Karma Taj's apprentices came in and out of the portal. These apprentices were very grateful to Salomon for helping them "secretly" improve their food, so everyone was happy to do the small task of moving things.
"It's considered theft at most. And there are no cameras here." Salomon patted the witch's arm and said, "Relax, I think there is something I need here. Good afternoon, Senior Brother Modu, I'm here Five hours later than yours, just in time for lunch."
"What are you doing?" Mordo's eyes widened. He looked at Bayonetta standing next to Salomon, "Where did you find these things? What did the Lord ask you to do? She is who?"
"Holy Cross Church," Salomon shook his head desperately, "I just went to hunt some extradimensional creatures. No, I promise, I have never exposed magic. This is my partner and an acquaintance of His Holiness. Killing Angel is a good player. Brother Modu, I just want to find the documents I need, but there are a lot of them. I want to move them back and read them slowly. Can you arrange for them to move the documents to my room? Then just create a mirror dimension and put it inside, thank you."
Bayonetta pushed up her glasses with her pistol impatiently, her high heels clicking on the ground.
Salomon quickly stretched out his hand and waved, and all the manuscripts that had not been moved in the library floated. He drilled into the portal by himself, and even with the help of Kama Taj's apprentices, he moved all the manuscripts away. It took at least twenty minutes. Salomon said to the other side of the portal, "Senior Brother Modu, I'm still very busy here! Remember! You must move to my room!"
"Well done, senior brother." Salomon patted the thick arm of the last mystic apprentice who got into the portal, "I'll treat you to lobster tonight."
Due to the effect of magic, the library of Holy Cross Church was ransacked in a short period of time. In front of Salomon and Bayonetta there were only empty bookshelves and the Franciscan monk still lying on the ground. Oh, there was also a towel stained with chloroform. I don’t know who brought it. The poor monk, I’m afraid he will be in a coma for a long time.
"Is it done?" The witch's voice rose slightly.
"It's done." Salomon said, "I need to read a book after that."
"Then let's go." Bayonetta said, "There are still many angels waiting for us to hunt."
Salomon's pursuit of the "Book of Darkness" has come to an end for the time being, but Bayonetta still has many things to solve. It's not just Vigrid's problem, she also needs to feed the demons regularly. This is a part of her contract that cannot be violated. Only by feeding the demons can she successfully summon powerful demons to assist in the battle.
This will keep her busy for a while, but fortunately there are enough angels.

"Bang!" Bayonetta fired a shot at her feet casually. The bullet passed through the head of the angel who was stepped on by her high heels. After the bright red blood splashed out, it quickly turned into golden light spots floating around the body. to the air. She turned her head and saw Salomon smashing an angel into his knees. Golden light rose from the holy cloth on his body, making him look holy like the Son of God.
After a not too difficult battle, Bayonetta made a suggestion to Salomon. A suggestion that can greatly improve Salomon's fighting ability, a fighting method that is extremely suitable for Salomon.
"In the legend, King Solomon can summon the seventy-two demon gods as help." Bayonetta said, "Sign a contract with the demon lord Belial and use the seventy-two demon gods. This is how you fight. Just. Just like me, use magic to bind demons and restrain their behavior. I can do it, and you can too, use your powerful magic. Don't worry, you still have to add more."
The way Bayonetta restrains demons is to use her hair, and hair is where magic power is stored. She can do this because the magic power of the witch family has the property of restraining demons. Salomon also has this magical property. His Holiness once said that the stigmata on his hand is a type of "idol magic" and has the same power as King Solomon.
But Salomon still had some doubts about summoning demons. He believed in the magic in his hands more than summoning demons. But when facing those angels, he always had to fight against many, and Bayonetta was not always able to help.
"I believe that the Supreme Mage must have seen this scene." The witch curled her lips, "And your Kama Taj's style is so rigid. My dear, why don't you give it a try?"
"It is impossible for me to sign a contract with the devil, Bayonetta. My soul can only belong to myself." It is absolutely impossible for Salomon to summon the devil by signing a contract. The result of doing so will be with Bayonetta. Likewise, the soul will belong to the demon lord. The same is true for Solomon. Having learned from the past, Salomon will naturally not step into the same trap again.
He said, "But besides this, there should be other ways to summon demons. I will try it, but then I will need your help."
"No problem, Boya~" Bayonetta blinked and said with satisfaction.
