Chapter 230 Duties
Later, Nightmare came back on his own initiative. He had a hunch that things were going off course. In order to prevent Zorosius from continuing to pester Nightmare, he offered to let Nightmare change her identity, but she was unwilling.

The Pope sighed.

Nightmare has half vampire blood flowing in her body, and sooner or later she will be exposed.

What's more, he has been looking for Nightmare for so many years, isn't it just to sacrifice her and then use the hand of God to completely get rid of Zorosius?

Perhaps he and Nightmare were destined to have no fate.

It is true that he likes Nightmare very much, but compared with long-term stability, the former seems a bit insignificant.

Thinking of this, the Pope calmed down and said, "Of all of you here, there should be some who remember what happened 17 years ago, right?"

Hearing this, everyone was puzzled.

What happened 17 years ago...what happened 17 years ago?

However, a few elders seemed to have thought of something, and their expressions changed slightly.

Could the Pope...

Most of the people who knew about it had been secretly executed, and the few who survived were forced to swear an oath that they would never speak a word about it forever.

The Pope was not surprised by the crowd's reaction. He did not explain any more, but said to the audience: "The time has come. Let the witches begin."

Soon, a girl wearing a white dress and bright golden curly hair walked out of Sois Church.

In her hand she held a silver holy cross chalice about half the length of an arm, and her face was covered with a veil, so her expression could not be seen clearly.

Why does this posture look a bit like...

Everyone had different thoughts, but since the Pope hadn't spoken yet, they could only suppress the weirdness in their hearts and watch in silence.

Under the stage, Lilith moved slowly, and it took her a long time to reach Nightmare.

Lilith almost didn't cry when she saw Nightmare.She tried her best to control her emotions, choked with sobs and lowered her voice: "Don't worry, baby Shang, Lilith will never watch you being sacrificed!"

Yesterday the Pope found Lilith and ordered her to preside over the sacrificial ceremony, but Lilith naturally refused.But no matter how much she behaved, the Pope just said coldly: "As a temple witch, you should know your responsibilities better."

Lilith froze.

She has been a temple witch for so many years and has seen too many innocent people whose families were ruined because of the vampire clan.Her prayers can temporarily comfort the departed souls and bereaved families, but they cannot prevent these things from happening.

I still vaguely remember that the previous temple witch was attacked and killed by a vampire during a blessing ceremony.Before she died, she said to herself: "The next heavy burden will be placed in your hands, Lilith... You must remember your responsibilities..."

My...responsibility?

If Lilith had been asked this question before, her answer would have been very firm.

But... now she must choose between duty and tragedy.

Lilith was confused, and for the first time she felt deeply powerless.

Just when she was at a loss, Tiesu came out of the room and said to her: "Go and tell the Pope that you agree."

"No!" Lilith subconsciously refused.

"It's not that you really agree." Tiesu quietly set up a soundproof cover around the area and analyzed step by step: "Only if you agree can we take the lead."

Lilith obviously didn't understand, "What dominance?"

"There is something wrong with the Pope." Tiesu frowned, "When he came just now, I could feel that something was wrong with him."
