From the Vaeran Republic in the south to the Free City-State of the Underground in the north, from Beztan to Nolennia in the east...she appears in various regions irregularly.At a time when various places have not yet recovered from the disaster caused by the plague, when resources are in short supply and conflicts are acute, she can accurately stir up the resistance of the people at the bottom of the country every time, further expanding the chaos.
The Holy See has listed this woman as the most wanted criminal, focusing on heretics.But each roundup yielded nothing.
The traces of the witch are elusive. Even if they unite the lords from all over the country, take precautions in advance, deploy a sufficient number of troops, and set up various spell restrictions, they can't prevent her appearance and departure, let alone the chaos she brings. and riots.
Therefore, Ciel would be exhausted physically and mentally every time, trudging through mountains and rivers to reach the assembly point, and after going through a futile round-up operation, he would return to Sirna and continue to serve as a guardian knight.
In this case, the "romantic solitude with Teacher Charles" that Sirna had been looking forward to came to nothing.
76. Take a break from your busy schedule
"Teacher Charles..."
On this day, in the bishop's residence of the great monastery, Hilna took off her luxurious robe with complicated decorations and put on a dark dress that would fit a noble girl of her age.
The luxurious silk ribbon bound her slender waist, the elegant long skirt that fit her figure, the dark blue long hair hanging loosely on her shoulders, the smooth white socks looming under the skirt, and the small and exquisite black leather boots, all paired together, They all made her look particularly young and beautiful.
She stopped in front of Charles and called him with a smile.
"Silna, is something wrong?"
"Of course I'm fine. The several lords who came to visit me today have been sent away, the mass and prayers have been completed, and the reporting letters to the Holy See have been sent."
She was like a child who finished her homework early, excitedly showing off her completed tasks and waiting for praise: "Teacher, I plan to take a day off. You have been very tired during this period, so please take a rest with me."
"But I still have some chores..."
"Those are all trivial matters. Teacher, you don't have to do everything yourself." She insisted: "Since we came here, you have never had a rest. You have been busy with everything. I was still tired when I was in Glory City. Teacher Charles, as the bishop you swore allegiance to protect, I want you to cherish your body and rest with me for a day, okay?"
"...Okay." Seeing Sirna insisting, he couldn't refuse anything.
Moreover, he was indeed a little tired recently.
Not long ago, Charles was summoned by the Holy See. He rode a fast horse and galloped day and night to a marquis territory hundreds of miles away in the east to encircle and suppress the mysterious "red-haired witch" who had caused many riots.
Of course, the result was that there was no trace of the witch, and he had to help the local nobles suppress the incited mob. It took several weeks before he could return.
The futile busywork made him physically and mentally exhausted. After returning, he still had various entertainments, trained the monks in the monastery, and was responsible for Sirna's security... Now, he had dark circles under his eyes every day, and he never got enough sleep.
He badly needs rest.
Seeing that he agreed, Sirna was even more happy.But instead of taking Charles to the dining room or lounge, she took a detour to an open space behind the large monastery.
This was originally a flower garden, but it had been neglected due to the chaos caused by the plague.
When Charles was wondering why Sirna brought him to this deserted garden, the girl turned lightly in front of him and recited a mysterious mantra.
Colorful light and electricity flashed out from Sirna's side and danced in the deserted garden.As she continued to recite the incantation, the weeds withered one by one, and the hardened soil condensed into neat and smooth white bricks.Bricks and stones were piled up on top of each other to form a hemispherical hut, with a small arch on the side.
"Teacher, this is the lounge I built for you." After taking a deep breath, Hilna opened her eyes again and looked at Charles, making a gesture to invite you in: "I have been preparing for a long time, come in quickly."
Pulled by the girl, he possessed himself and slipped through the arch, arriving inside the hut: the spherical vault was flashing with colorful luminous runes, as if the stars in the sky were gathering here.The ground and the inner walls of the cabin are covered with soft vines and dots of colorful flowers.
In the center of the cabin is a soft sofa woven with tree stumps, vines, and flowers that resembles a massage chair.
"Teacher, please sit down." She proudly showed off her work.
When he sat on this special massage chair, the plants on the chair sensed the pressure, and the intertwined vines responded immediately, stretching out their tentacles to press on his back, which was so sore from running around too hard.
After another spell, Sirna made a coconut-like fruit grow on the wall of the hut. After splitting it, she poured out the juice and gave it to Ciel to drink.
"Thank you, Sirna..." Enjoying her meticulous care, he felt his tired body relax a little: "Sorry to trouble you."
After receiving the compliment, Sirna was obviously very happy: "You're welcome, teacher. Over the years, I have learned all kinds of spells, but those spells are as boring as tasks. Once you learn them, you can only use them." For official work, I occasionally hope to create something interesting like this. To make you and I happy, teacher. Just like when I was a child."
After hearing this, Charles suddenly remembered that a long time ago, when Sirna first awakened her magic talent, she used spells to create countless miraculous cabins like this for herself in the swamp of her hometown, hiding in them. Willing to come out.
It was precisely because of this that she met Lovna, was eventually found by Ciel, and was taken care of by him until now.
Thinking of this, he felt a little sad.
"Teacher, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Hilna noticed his frustration.
"...I think of Lovna. When I was a child, you often used magic to create interesting things and share them with me and Lovna. But now, I am still with you, but we still have no news about her."
In this vast continent, finding an inconspicuous girl is almost impossible.
It has been more than two years since Lovna left Ipoli, but she still has not arrived in Glory City, let alone returned to Ipoli.
Due to the aftermath of the plague, various places have fallen into a quagmire-like predicament.As soon as the plague subsided, various riots started one after another... It really made people worry about her safety.
Charles also begged His Majesty the Pope to use astrology and prophecy to find Lovna's location, but still found nothing.There's nothing you can do about it. Even your Majesty, you can't guarantee that you know everything.
She could only have a premonition that Lovna was not in any danger now, but that was the end of it.
"Oh, teacher, you are worried about Sister Lovna."
Sirna understood, and she was a little helpless: "Don't worry too much. Since Your Majesty predicted that my sister is safe now, then she must be fine. I also have a hunch that we will see her sooner or later. When the time comes, I will definitely give her a good scolding on your behalf and tell her not to run around in the future. Teacher, you'd better relax now, don't think too much, and have a good rest."
"Ok."
Knowing that it was useless to be anxious, he tried his best to relieve his anxiety and calm his restless mind.
Sirna dimmed the light in the hut, and the faint fragrance from the flowers blooming on the walls of the hut can also make people feel peaceful.
Seeing that Charles was still a little anxious, she added: "Teacher, the red-haired witch, and the rebellious mob, they can only bring temporary chaos. Order will be restored everywhere."
"Um……"
Ciel agreed and fell asleep.
"Teacher?" He called Charles's name in a low voice, but received no response.Seeing Charles breathing evenly and lying on the Tenman armchair with his eyes closed, Hilna confirmed that he was asleep.
Looking at the teacher's side face after falling asleep, she swallowed softly, carefully approached his face, and gently put her hands on Ciel's shoulders.
Her teacher didn't wake up, which emboldened her.
After a simple kiss, although he wanted to have a lingering kiss on the lips and teeth, that would easily wake up Ciel.The most courageous thing she could do was to put her head on Charles' shoulder and kiss his neck and cheek.
She wanted to do something, but she was afraid that Charles would wake up and make it even more embarrassing, so she could only reluctantly grab the teacher's hand and bite the back of his hand, hoping to quench the thirst in her heart.
The closer she got to Ciel, the more the desire in her heart rose, almost burning her sanity quickly.She desperately wanted to do more impulsive things, even if she woke up Ciel, she didn't want to hide it.
She is also almost 20 years old.Almost all other women of the same age are married and have children, but she has been enduring it - the person she likes is obviously by her side, accompanying her every day, but due to various messy reasons: the friendship between teachers and students, the rules of the Holy See, the chaos of the current situation... …She and Charles could never wait for the result.
"Lady Sirna!"
Just when she was about to do something, a call brought her back to reality from her crazy desires.
It seemed that a priest was calling her outside her hut.
"Tsk..." She cursed secretly, then adjusted her mentality, removed her displeasure from her face, looked calm and calm, and walked out of the hut she had just created with magic.
Seeing several nuns and monks standing in the courtyard, she cleared her throat: "What's wrong? Didn't I tell you not to disturb me?"
When these people saw Sirna, they were a little timid reflexively. After the leader bowed and saluted, he handed over a document.
"The news from the Holy See is to summon His Excellency Charles."
"...What are you summoning Teacher Charles for again?" Sirna opened the document with the Holy See's coat of arms and looked at it a few times with a little irritation.
It's a bunch of useless bureaucratic nonsense.The main idea of the text without the nonsense is that there is trouble again in the certain earldom of such and such area. The bandits and gangs gathered are large. The local lords ask the Holy See for help. The Holy See is short of people, so they have to trouble Charles to go there. Help them suppress the riots and uprisings...
Hilna resisted the urge to tear the document into pieces and sighed: "Is the Vatican really so short of people? Are you bothering Teacher Charles with everything?"
"Huh?" Charles also woke up from the recliner at this time.
He shook his head to wake himself up from his short sleep, got out of the small room, and looked at Sirna standing outside the room: "What, did the Holy See send a new mission?"
"It's just a small commotion. I really don't understand why I called you here again." Hilna raised the document in her hand: "It's still a bunch of useless trivial matters. Teacher, how about you put this trouble away."
But Charles did not agree to her suggestion: "Sirna, stop complaining, you still have to do what needs to be done. The place where the accident happened is not far away, I will be back in two or three weeks, don't worry."
After saying that, he immediately took the paperwork, packed his weapons, and was ready to set off.
Seeing the teacher's leaving figure, Sirna's heart became more and more troubled.
I dressed up carefully today and prepared for a long time. I just hoped to spend a leisurely day with Teacher Charles and forget about those troubles, but it didn't happen.
What a hassle.
Obviously when she was promoted to bishop, Ciel publicly swore that she would serve as her exclusive guardian knight. However, due to the lack of manpower within the Holy See, various tasks would still be assigned to Ciel.
Those useless nobles, their governance methods are as crude and dull as a dog.He made the territory so angry that everyone broke out into a riot. He had to beg for help from everywhere and ask the Holy See to help him wipe his ass.
And those mobs have no brains at all.A random heretic would incite them, and they would start to cause trouble.In the end, it didn't turn into a gang war and mindless infighting. They couldn't do anything but make a mess of things.
…………
If Sirna is not only the bishop who presides over local religious affairs, but also the real ruler who can directly assign and manage all the lords in the diocese.
If she can truly control everything - then, with her ability, both nobles and commoners will be controlled and obeyed.
She no longer has to abide by those pedantic rules.
Those idiots made mistakes, and there was no need to bother Mr. Charles running around.
She can legitimately be with Ciel, making him a knight that truly belongs only to her.
She wants more.
----------------******---------
This time, the mission that Charles received was not "just to go to a certain earldom to search for and suppress gangs" as the official document stated.
Ether Munro is now in danger and urgently needs his help.
77. What happened to Monroe
Ever since he accepted the punishment, left Glory City, and started hunting down the heretical mages of the Holy Body Training Society alone, Monroe has never let up.
Even if the plague has spread to the entire continent, and even if the riots are causing dangers everywhere, he forces himself to maintain his fighting spirit and focus on the task at hand.
It's been a long battle.
That ancient heretical sect has already established countless strongholds in every corner of the continent over a long period of time.
They hide their existence, continue their futile and blasphemous research, and weave criminal conspiracies everywhere. In order to realize their ridiculous and absurd ideals, they have led to countless tragedies.
Like cockroaches, they can always hibernate and multiply in the shadows when people think they are completely extinct, preparing to see the light of day again.
In dark caves in the mountains, in hidden huts in dense forests, in dark rooms beneath cities... they are everywhere.
The task of tracking them down is tedious and boring, including searching for traces, violent interrogation, following the clues, finding strongholds, killing, capturing prisoners, and continuing interrogations... endlessly.
Whenever Monroe finds the hiding place of these guys, these people will either panic and prepare to escape, or they will resist hysterically, or they will kneel down and verbally beg for mercy - but no matter what they respond, they will still be doorstepped in the end. Luo obliterated all the corpses without exception, and then burned the corpses with flames.
This sword master will wipe out their existence and destroy everything in the stronghold together - the only exception is the notes and materials filled with blasphemous knowledge.
These things will be carefully screened and collected by him, and he will find a way to send them back to the headquarters of the Eternal Holy See for His Majesty the Pope to deal with.
This was not the first time he had done this annoying job.
Ever since he became a knight serving the Holy See, these guys from the "Holy Body Training Society" would appear every few decades, causing him all kinds of trouble, and asking him to kill a bunch of them.
If he kills too many people, he will stop for decades, then pop up again and let him kill again.
More than two or three hundred years ago, he had strong anger and vowed to eliminate all the bastards who had created him and brought him infinite misery.
But as time passed, he was no longer so angry, and only felt irritable.
He gets bored and feels like he's playing an endless game of cat and mouse.
Everyone, whether they are themselves, the heretics who are never finished killing and shouting weird things, or their miserable wife, are all puppets manipulated by fate.
On this boring stage, an endless drama of unknown joys and sorrows is performed.
Not only these heretics, but also the plagues that sweep through every few decades, the catastrophes that break out every once in a while, the demons that return to the world at a certain time - these are all like fixed repertoires. , repeating itself endlessly on the stage of the world.
He seemed to be trapped in an endless time loop.
This world has not undergone any fundamental changes since his birth until now.
In his hundreds of years of life, the only accident that could be regarded as comfort was probably Katrin.
Maybe I can find some sustenance from my daughter.
But she won't live long.
What will you do after she dies?Continue to work for the Holy See, continue to hunt down heretics, participate in holy wars, and fight against demons?Continuing these endless reincarnations, dealing with those enemies over and over again until you die?
Whenever he thinks of this, this [-]-year-old man becomes even more irritable.
This time was no exception. After breaking off all the fingers of a mage from the "Holy Body Training Society", he finally revealed the location of a stronghold while wailing.
After making sure that he was not lying and asking for some information, Monroe gave him a clean and tidy relief.After disposing of his body, he simply packed his luggage, polished the epee he wore, and was ready to set off.
