Chapter 741 Hypocrisy
It has ended.

Bai Yu sighed.

He knew he was at the end of his rope.

Facing the holy realm where the canonization is fully unfolded, there is no chance of winning at all.

If they were barely competing on the same stage before, now the referee personally comes off the field to play football.

When I had a pure white courtyard, I thought I could beat it a dozen times.

But facing this Holy Cross Lingbo Hell, there is not even a slight chance of victory.

If the holy realm is the manifestation of the saint's pursuit of the Tao and the world of mental images, then there is also a gap between the saints.

Why is it said that the canonization of faith is at the lower level of the contempt chain? It is because the holy realm built by the power of faith does not have the ability to grow.

The sanctuaries of different saints are different, some are majestic, some are magnificent, some are meticulous, some are dark and cramped... all of them are related to Tao.

"It is difficult to predict the level of sainthood. Unless there is an actual fight, the emperor has not made a move for many years. I can only roughly estimate that he was sainted three years earlier than me." The Libra Saint recalled the past, and then her eyes flashed. With a hint of coldness: "In the same year he was enthroned, he ascended the throne and inherited the throne of emperor..."

"In fact, you already have the prototype of a great avenue."

“It must exist in the center of every canonized sanctuary.”

The saint reached out and touched the huge cross that towered into the sky.

"It's only higher than me." The saint's answer was not very secretive, but even she didn't know the translation.

"Even in the mental world, there is no omnipotence."

The Libra Saint turned back and stopped persuading.

"After all, this is what we are discussing." Bai Yu felt that the topic had started and asked directly: "What is Lao Deng's state?"

"I know."

Bai Yu heard it and took over the words.

"I've wanted to kill him for a long time." Saintess Libra's eyes were deep, her fingers pressed on the cross, and her skin turned blue and white with force.

"It's rare to be confused in life. You may not be able to tell the difference between real stupidity and fake stupidity. Who said that the mentally retarded bar is full of real retarded people?"

Bai Yu smiled and asked, "Do you really hope that I can stay?"

"I just can't see you wasting your talent on something too reckless." The saint's thought may be to cherish her talent: "There are very few people in the world who can reach this level. Haven't you ever thought about it? It would be such a pity if I died."

"No wonder some people say that it is a life worth living to see the canonized sanctuary with your own eyes."

Bai Yu said: "Creating such a small world by yourself will make people feel omnipotent."

"How silly," she murmured.

"...Do you think you are humorous?"

"This world is fixed due to the manifestation of Tao... For me, its manifestation is this Holy Cross."

"The emperor has so many things to do, does he still have time to practice?"

She said she was persuading others, maybe she was persuading herself?
There is smart cowardice in the wise, and stupid bravery in the stupid.

Bai Yu complained: "Is it possible?"

So he asked: "I have always been curious, are you not afraid of offending the emperor when you help me like this? Theoretically, Lao Deng...the Roman emperor is your immediate boss."

"Oh?" Bai Yu wanted to ask, but hesitated whether he should ask or not.

"Are you sure?" Bai Yu glanced at the astonishingly large cross and thought that this realm was already very high.

"You are closer to the realm of sainthood than you think."

"The saint is a high-level member of the church, and his status is no less than that of the Roman emperor. If I hadn't agreed, he wouldn't have been able to use me." Saint Libra glanced at Bai Yu, thinking that she was a foreigner after all, and didn't know much about Rome's political system. , and patiently added a few explanations: "The status of saints in the church is very transcendent. Mainly because at this level, most saints have a self-centered character in heaven and earth. Naturally, they are unwilling to listen to anyone's orders, and usually only in name. , not doing practical things... Besides, no matter what I do, the emperor will not know about it. Why should I explain it to others when I am a saint? Do you think anyone in this great Brahma City dares to discuss me? "

The saint didn't understand what she heard: "It's really a mess..."

She turned her back and looked at the upright but crooked cross, with countless complicated emotions welling up in her heart.

What kind of people realize what kind of Tao.

"I dare."

"You knew you should have listened to me."

"The Roman emperor has a lot less time than you think. Most things are handled by specialized personnel in the palace. I don't know much about this, but I know very well how dangerous he is."

"This Lao Deng is quite hated." Bai Yu was surprised but also felt it was reasonable.

"I know that the emperor is not easy to mess with, and I also know that Lao Deng is not a good person, so I can't leave her there." Bai Yu stood like a sharp sword that would rather break than bend, and said loudly: "In this life, I don't ask for a hundred lives, I just want to Fight for the day and night.”

"In other words, if you can destroy the physical object manifested by the Tao, you can semi-permanently destroy the sanctuary."

"It would be possible if it were canonized. This is what happens in battles at the same level, but it will be more complicated and not a pure head-to-head confrontation." The Libra Saint said softly: "When you reach the realm, you will naturally gradually understand."

Bai Yu quietly glanced at the phone, thinking about how to continue delaying time.

"You're right." Bai Yu said confidently: "Then it'll be fine as long as you don't die."

"If you go to the capital of Rome, your life or death will not be decided by you. The emperor is not as easy to talk to as I am."

She paused and continued: "You should cherish the opportunity. As long as you stay here patiently and listen to my teachings, I will be 70% sure that you can be canonized in half a year at most."

The same hatred.

If there was no common enemy, why would this saint care for him so much?
"In fact, you have always wanted to ask clearly."

She turned back with a strong desire to talk in her eyes: "I can tell you."

…But I don’t really want to hear it.

Bai Yu felt that if he skinned him again at this time, the cross in the sanctuary would be inserted into his grave in the next moment.

"I'm very curious, but it's a bit impolite to inquire into the past of the canonization."

He sat upright and said, "If you want to say something, I'm all ears."

...You are trying to steal the holy relics of the Holy Church, so why are you being polite?

The saint wanted to expose it directly, but she resisted. Her eyes were completely filled with nostalgia, and memories came flooding back.

There was no need to think or organize, as if she had already prepared a draft, she began to talk about the past events.

Her life is not complicated either.

The similarity with Jeanne is as high as 80%.

In fact, most women who have entered a monastery since childhood are like this, and once they enter a monastery, there are even fewer women who have the opportunity to leave.

Because the Libra Saint is very talented, she entered the third level of transcendence at a young age, so she was appreciated by her superiors and given the opportunity to further her studies.

Thus, while traveling around monasteries and interning in churches, she met the woman who changed her life... Elaine Gorgon.

She said that she is a very well-behaved person, but Elaine is not. She is a quite deviant and very independent woman. She often says that she has to control her own life.

The two parties didn't hit it off right away, but they couldn't get along at first sight and were unhappy with each other.

However, by a coincidence of fate, they became a pair of happy enemies. After experiencing life and death together, they finally let go of their guard and became each other's best friends.

Before inheriting the title of Saint, she walked around the land of Rome for three years, visited many people, went to many places, and experienced many things... It is difficult to imagine that this saint was an undercover agent in the Esoteric Cult when he was young. In the past four months, she had also concealed her identity and followed adventurers into ancient ruins to kill an ancient race with demigod blood. She had left her own rumors all over Rome. Those days when she was a knight in bright clothes and angry horses. The most precious memory of her life.

But what she misses most is Elaine who accompanied her through that time.

I thought that the two of them could live like this forever until the day of separation came.

She needs to inherit the title of saint, but Elaine is found by her family and forced to inherit the family business.

The two were separated for nearly half a year.

When they met again, Elaine was already married.

At first, she was also happy for her good friend. Although her life gradually became monotonous, her cultivation improved day by day. Her past life experiences made her more and more aware of her path to seek truth.

Just when she was at the critical stage of breaking through to canonization, she received a letter from Elaine. The content was not much, except to say goodbye.

It was this letter that made her still regret it.

"I often wonder, if I had not chosen to stay here and continue to seek truth, but to go find her, even if it took ten or eight years, she would not have died."

"If I had been by her side to support her, maybe this wouldn't have been so bad, and we could have gone further, to a safer place." "But I didn't go, when she needed it most, I'm not with her."

"Ignorance of her situation is no excuse. I just lost to the greed in my heart."

"At that time, I wanted to ask for sainthood, but I forgot to measure gains and losses."

“It’s like a scale, when you take away one end of it, the other end falls.”

"I thought I chose the best outcome, but I still can't let go."

She talked to herself, immersed in past memories and self-trial.

Every line is full of regret, every word is an atonement.

At the end of the day, all the words turned into self-deprecating smiles.

Unable to conceal the sadness.

She didn't cry, and she no longer shed tears.

The saint raised his cheek and turned his head with a very faint smile.

Perhaps this was the first time Bai Yu saw her smiling, and he always felt that there was too much and too much depth in this smile.

"I envy you."

"I can't let you go either."

"Looking at you is like looking at my past self, hoping that you can do what I dream of."

"But I will also be worried... If you fail, it means that my regret is meaningless; if you succeed, it means that I really did something wrong."

"People are always so complicated."

"I want to do something for you, but I want to persuade you to give up early."

She gently touched the crooked cross and whispered: "This is all I think. I have told everything, really told everything... I haven't told anyone for a long time, no, I have never told anyone else. So many words, except Elaine.”

Bai Yu looked at this desolate figure and asked, "Will you feel relaxed now?"

"will not."

The Libra Saint's tone was resounding.

"Because what I'm telling you is not a secret, but I'm opening up my own wounds."

Suddenly there was a heavy rain in the sanctuary. There was no thunder or black clouds, only white mist and drizzle.

"If just talking can soothe the pain, then my guilt would be so cheap."

The continuous drizzle wet her hair and clothes. The saint slowly turned around and faced the young man, her eyes like a deep pool of silence.

"After listening to this, do you have anything else to say?"

Baiyu does have several questions.

"How did you know that Elysee was Elaine's daughter?"

"After her identity is exposed, I will naturally have a way to find out."

"Why do you want to catch Elysee yourself?"

"If I don't go, someone else will go. In fact, there was another saint who went there."

"Are you willing to help us save Elise? As long as we can be canonized, our chances of winning will be great."

Bai Yu didn't finish speaking completely.

"I am a saint of the Holy Church and cannot take action against the emperor..." Saint Libra shook her head and objected: "If I could, I would have taken action long ago, why wait until now."

This answer is not surprising at all.

"I see, I almost understand it."

Bai Yu's tone gradually became lighter, and his eyes became more serious.

"I actually don't completely believe what you just said. It must be tainted with some Spring and Autumn writing skills."

"My personal guess is that what Elaine sent you was not just a farewell letter, but more likely a request for help."

"And you ignored it, or you didn't take it to heart, or you missed it in seclusion for the sake of canonization."

"You missed the opportunity to save her, instead of her insisting on cutting off contact."

"That's what you really regret."

Bai Yu kept talking.

"besides--"

"You actually don't care about Elysee very much. Even though she is Elaine's daughter, to you, she is just Elaine's shadow."

"I guess that when you went to see Elise, you might have some illusions about whether Elaine was still alive."

"But after meeting her, you got an accurate answer, and even the slightest hope was completely shattered."

"I think you were ready to do something from that point on."

"Usually, after the cause of death is investigated, revenge is the order of the day."

"But you alone are not enough to take revenge, and other saints will also not assassinate the emperor."

"People who share the same hatred can do it. It is precisely in me that you see the potential to be canonized."

"You have repeatedly pointed out to me, and frankly said that you hope that I will stay and be canonized, not because you think I will be more confident in saving Elysee after being canonized, but because you think that after being canonized, I will have a chance to kill the old emperor of Rome. ”

"But why do I have to kill him?"

"Unless something happens to Elysee."

"Two conclusions can be drawn from this."

"1. If I accept your proposal, then there is a high probability that Elise will die within this six months."

"Two, you do know many secrets about the royal family, including the emperor's weaknesses, the cause of Elaine's death, or the dangers Elysee faces."

Speaking of this, Bai Yu became more and more determined.

"Perhaps your regrets and guilt are all true..."

"But equally, these are also obstacles that prevent you from pursuing the path further."

"If you don't wipe out this hatred, it will be difficult for you to go further."

He slowed down his speech and gave his conclusions one sentence at a time.

"Your Excellency Saint Libra, you are an extremely determined seeker of truth and will not be easily swayed by personal emotions."

"What you calculate is personal gains and losses, not emotional resonance."

"What you are hesitating about is whether to let me leave now and give it a try; or whether to keep me and wait for me to be canonized before proceeding with the plan to kill Laoden."

"The purpose of using emotion and reasoning is nothing more than to establish emotional resonance with me and establish the same position, so as to make me believe that you really care about the safety of Elysee... But there is obviously not a single word in your story. Never mentioned her!"

"Whenever I have some hesitation, I may be convinced by your story and naively think that you are sincerely helping me."

"But the person you want to help is not me, let alone Elysee, but yourself."

The drizzle suddenly stopped, and the heavy rain hung in the air, and thunderous thunder echoed in the sky of Holy Cross Hell.

The saint's eyes were as silent as ever, like a stone statue staring silently at the world.

After becoming a saint, perhaps the cold divinity has already overwhelmed the impulsive human nature.

Then, she smiled again.

Without any emotion.

"It seems that even after saying so much, I can't keep you."

"Yes," Bai Yu smiled back: "Now you can only let me go."
