The female devils I saved came to my door

This is one of the more than 200 heretics he has executed in the past few years. He can only be regarded as a middle-level mage in the training group. There is still no clue as to who is the leader of this generation of "Eucharistic Seminar".

Following the information given by the mage before his death, Munro came to the middle of the northern mountains across the continent.

The climate here is humid and cold, and the dark green forest covers the foot of the mountain like a thick blanket.The tips of several peaks are covered with snow, and the melted snow flows along the mountains to the south, forming the source of several long rivers.

There are many dangerous beasts and poisonous insects lurking in the mountainous area. The cold and humid climate makes it difficult to develop. The surrounding area is hundreds of miles inaccessible. It is indeed a suitable area for heretics to hide.

According to the mage's confession, they built an underground labyrinth under the highest peak of the northern mountains, where they cultivated various aberrant life forms, fought each other, and selected the best seeds.

Monroe did indeed discover the entrance to the maze hidden behind a boulder.

He did not enter the maze rashly, but searched for induction on the surface of the mountain. He used elemental magic to dig a passage and sneaked into the ground quietly, avoiding the magic devices that were detecting intruders.

In the dark underground, Munro, wearing heavy armor, opened his eyes with night vision, and walked vigorously through the maze that was as light as a feather and silent.

This is a maze of astonishing proportions.The thick masonry walls were damp and cold, covered with deformed and disgusting fungi.The drainage troughs on both sides were filled with putrid corpses. The corpses looked neither like animals nor humans. They were obviously the creations of blasphemous heretics.

The turbid air of the maze was not only mixed with stench, but also had a pungent smell of medicine. These things brought back Munro's bad memories.

It’s hard to imagine how long it took these heretical mages to build such a large underground palace, and it’s even harder to imagine how many indescribable horrific experiments they conducted here.

He put away his distracting thoughts and continued to move forward in the maze.

He easily avoided the traps set in the maze, as well as some strange, roughly dressed creatures of unknown origin that wandered in the narrow maze.Munro sketched the general shape of the maze in his mind and guessed the core location of the maze.After traversing many passages, he found a small secret compartment on a wall.

After activating the mechanism in the secret compartment, the secret room in the center of the maze was finally opened.

He drew out his heavy sword and prepared to destroy everything hidden inside as usual.

But this time things are different.In the maze, Monroe saw a guy who had been killed by him long ago and shouldn't have appeared at all.

After a brief moment of surprise, he wanted to leave immediately, but it was already too late.

Now, he can only pray for the support of His Majesty the Pope.

------------*****---------

After Charles arrived at the Holy See, he thought it was just a common task of counterinsurgency and bandit suppression. He would be given the task by a certain cardinal, and then he would quickly lead the team.

But unexpectedly, the person receiving him this time was actually His Holiness the Pope himself.

"Charle, this mission is quite special." The serious-looking Saint Ann IV led Charles into her office and said straight to the point: "I am not asking you to come back this time to assist in countering the rebellion. Then This is an external statement. The task that really troubles you is confidential and cannot be disclosed."

"Ok?"

"Look at Katrin's condition."

Pushing open the side door of the bedroom where Katrin lived, the gentle and simple blond girl did not lazily lean on the pillow as usual, leisurely looking at picture albums and picture books, waiting for Ciel's arrival.

At this time, the delicate and complex magic circuit texture spread on her body again. Her whole body was trembling continuously, her eyes were closed tightly, and she was gritting her teeth in silence, as if she was experiencing a nightmare from which she could not wake up.

"What's going on?! Katrin's curse broke out again?"

"Katerin sensed something bad, and the curse on her body was activated." The Pope gently put his hand on Katrin's head, and turned to look at Charles: "Maybe her father is in danger."

"Lord Monroe is in danger?"

This news made it difficult for Ciel to accept: "A legendary figure like him will also be in danger? He might kill a dragon single-handedly..."

"People age, and everyone has weaknesses. We have no way of knowing exactly where he is or what happened to him. I did some divination and am convinced that he is not dead yet, but he will be soon." His Majesty said more and more seriously. : "We need to send someone to rescue him immediately."

"We don't know where he is, how can we save him?"

"Use teleportation magic." The Pope said: "Use the blood of Monroe's daughter as a contract object, launch a teleportation spell, and teleport the helper to his vicinity. This spell is very dangerous, and the preparation of ritual materials is cumbersome, and the success rate is very low. Low. Once it fails, it is very likely that the person will be directly transported to high altitude or underground, or even only part of the organs will be transported.

"However, my prophecy shows that you, as his disciple and someone Katrin trusts, have the highest success rate in receiving the transmission. Moreover, you are now the best knight in the Holy See and the best candidate. So I hope You can accept the appointment. Save Monroe."

As soon as I returned to the Holy See, I received such news, which was a shock.

Ciel's mind is still a little confused, but he is very aware of the danger here - this mission sounds like a warrant dropped by a certain bald chairman, which is very unreliable.

"Aren't you going to summon other knights and bodyguards? Do you need to discuss this matter with other bishops?"

"The discussion will be too time-consuming, and the news may leak out, and the teleportation spell will not be able to send many people." His Majesty seemed not to want others to know: "Monroe's matter should not let too many people get involved."

"Your Majesty, this is a problem that even Monroe can't solve. This is an enemy that can put him in danger. What can I do by myself?"

"I'm not asking you to rescue him alone. Your main task is to find Monroe's location, contact the surrounding churches and lords, and then organize a rescue. The Holy See is also trying to use magic to search for Monroe's location, and will definitely assist you. . We will also provide you with some powerful magic weapons, but we are not asking you to die."

But the risks remain high.

Moreover, Ciel still felt that there was something obviously wrong:

"Your Majesty, I actually wanted to ask you two years ago - at that time, in the incident where the Viscount colluded with the Eucharistic Training Society, even if Mr. Monroe was a little negligent, there was no need to let him leave Glory City alone and cut off his acceptance. The opportunity for the Holy See's assistance will allow him to hunt down heretics on his own. You can definitely send him some helpers or provide some assistance.

"Now, something happened to Monroe, but you didn't tell others, but only called me. You told me to go alone to rescue Monroe, who was in jail, but you didn't give me a credible reason.

"In this case, it is more appropriate to summon all the bishops and priests, invite the personal guards, and paladins to formulate a more comprehensive and reliable rescue plan - but you have so hastily assigned me to carry out the rescue through this dangerous teleportation .This is so weird.

"I really can't believe you, Your Majesty. Your actions don't seem like you want to solve the problem, but rather like you are covering up and concealing the problem."

Saint Ann IV's expression was slightly impatient. She looked at Charles: "Charle, are you doubting me?"

This time Ciel did not show his usual obedience to her.

He met the eyes of St. Ann IV: "Doubt is not worthy of being called. If Mr. Monroe is really in danger, I will definitely do my best to save him. Moreover, I care about Catlin as much as you do. I saw her It hurts me to feel so uncomfortable. But Your Majesty, I need an explanation."

Saint Ann IV looked at Charles without saying a word for a while.

It wasn't until Katrin's weak call caught her and Ciel's attention that her frown eased slightly.

"Okay, okay... Charles, since you want to know the truth, then I'll tell you." She said as if she was admitting defeat: "Monroe's true identity is the first person made when the 'Essential Research Society' was founded. A synthetic human.

"Therefore, all grievances and grievances with this organization can only be resolved by him, and no one else can be involved."

78.The past of the Juggernaut

More than three hundred years ago, there once was a very talented mage.

His last name is Monroe.

He is one of the most talented mages in the world.

This old Monroe grew up in a chaotic era - when he came of age, a war for the throne had just broken out, and its scale continued to expand. More and more countries were involved in the war, and the war gradually affected the entire continent.

The war continued on and off for 20 years.

Under the repeated tug-of-war, advance, and looting by the corps from all sides, chaos reigned everywhere.Many areas ravaged by war have seen a sharp decline of [-]% to [-]% or even more than half of their population.

Although Monroe, who was born in an earl family, was able to survive on his own in this war for the throne.However, during the war, various atrocities that broke the moral bottom line, as well as unimaginable tragedies in various places, brought a big impact to him, who prided himself on being rational and noble.

It was probably from this that he came up with the idea of ​​creating a "new human being".

In his vision, this kind of extremely rational, powerful, and restrained new man will have far greater insights, longevity, and tyrannical power than ordinary people. He will guide mankind and save mankind from endless internal strife and cannibalism. .

But his talent was limited after all. With his extraordinary talent, although he successfully used the purest metal, perfect flesh and blood, and complicated spells to create a perfect human body, he failed to give this The secondary body is endowed with a matching will.

He cannot create an absolutely rational mind.

Old Monroe was troubled by this, and the apprentices who followed him gave him advice, but all methods failed to satisfy him.

So, he chose to turn to the devil for help.

"A demon with various weird nicknames, known as 'Subversary', 'Mother of Riots', 'Vicious Dream Weaver', 'Galdia'..."

The demon was quite powerful due to the chaos caused by the 20-year war. She readily accepted Old Monroe's wish and gave his creation a true soul.

Thus, that creation came to life, possessing life and intelligence.

Old Monroe was very happy and claimed that this guy was his child, gave him the surname "Monroe", and hoped to train him to be his successor.

This young Monroe, under the orders of the "father" who created him, assassinated many rulers that the elder Monroe considered "stupid and incompetent" and helped his "father" do a lot of dirty work.

His assassination methods were so perfect that he killed several kings who were later claimed to have died suddenly for no reason.

That stupid throne war also ended prematurely due to the deaths of the participants.

Old Monroe was quite proud of this.

However, wishes made to the devil will always end in tragedy.

After creating the first synthetic human, Old Monroe felt that he had gained insight into the technology of creating souls and could mass-produce more synthetic humans without the help of demons.

Therefore, he violated the contract he made with the devil and secretly conducted various experiments on Little Monroe's brain, intending to imitate more synthetic human minds.

However, the soul that the devil used to shape this synthetic human was pieced together from fragments of the personalities of the dead in the Netherworld.Although this synthetic person has a rational shell, he still feels confused, confused, lonely and bipolar.

He knows that he is not human, and he can also feel that his "father" is using him.It was clear to him that "Father" saw himself as a tool to realize his ideals.Although he rationally agrees with the ideal of "father", he still longs for the opportunity to become worthy of attention and worthy of being truly regarded as a "human being".

The experiments carried out by the old Monroe are getting more and more crazy, maybe out of fanaticism for ideals, inner paranoia, or the influence of the devil.His experiments began with the minds of living people.

His hand reached out to the common people in the territory, to the nobles who came as guests, to the famous scholars...

Although his methods were covert, and he relied on the chaos after the war to cover up for a while, he still aroused suspicion.

In the end, the Holy See tracked down everything he had done and officially designated him and his disciples as heretics.

The Holy See quickly assembled a group of knights who did not know each other, and ordered a bishop with military exploits to lead the knights and rush to the territory of the Monroe family carrying the sacred weapon to kill demons.

But when the knights sent by the Holy See arrived at their destination, the deformed monsters created by Munro blocked the knights who came to capture him, delaying enough time for him to escape.

However, just as he was about to escape, the devil appeared and stopped the old Monroe and the synthesizer he regarded as his "child".

"Child, this is your only chance to get rid of your father." The devil said: "Do you want to live in the sun, as a real human being, respected by others, or do you want to be a tool forever and be used by your father? , do those shameful things? Do you really think your father is just? Do you really think that this guy who does whatever it takes for the so-called 'ideal' is worthy of your follower? Do you think he really treats you As a human being?"

The synth was confused.

His father cursed the demon angrily, accusing her of bewitching his perfect son.

However, the synthetic man looked at the various evil creations displayed in the castle and listened to the knights outside the castle shouting for help. The synthetic man still made his own judgment.

He killed his father and chopped off his head.

After a burst of laughter, the devil disappeared.

Later, in the dark night, the synthesizers came outside the castle, quietly helped the knights of the Holy See eliminate the deformed enemies, and privately met with the bishop who led the team.

He explained his identity during a private interview and expressed that he hoped to get a fair trial and, as a real person, atone for the crimes he committed by assisting Monroe.

The bishop looked at the synthetic man in front of him, thought for a long time, and made his own decision.

Finally, when the bishop returned, a knight named Ether Monroe became one of the knights who returned to receive the award.

Although the other knights were confused and felt that there was no such skilled teammate in the team when they set off, but after all, the bishop who led the team had sworn it, and they were strangers to each other, so they couldn't pursue anything.

Later, through the operation of the bishop, Monroe became an official knight affiliated with the Holy See.

In the long period of time that followed, this synthetic man, who had gained a new identity and a new goal, became a real person, gained human dignity, and gained a new life.

And that bishop also became the future pope.

After the death of the pope who gave him new life, Monroe remained wholeheartedly loyal to the Holy See and served every succeeding pope.

Under normal circumstances, only the Pope and a few people in the Holy See can know Munro's true identity.

——The above is the story that Saint Ann IV told Charles.

"So, Ciel, this secret must not be revealed, nor should it be known to unnecessary people."

Saint Ann IV was very serious: "If stupid people know that the legendary sword master does not rely on the power obtained by piety and sincerity, but relies on blasphemous spells and devil's deals to become so powerful, it will inevitably cause bad things." Influence. There will definitely be people who are not determined and will choose to take desperate risks in order to pursue power and strength.

"Moreover, the disciples of the heretic mage Old Monroe, the 'Holy Body Training Society' they established, know Monroe's true identity. Their hatred of Ether Monroe's so-called 'betrayal' has been spread to this day. .So, no matter what, we must kill them one by one while ensuring that this secret is not leaked.

“Therefore, this task can only be entrusted to Monroe himself, and the Holy See cannot give him any extra help.

"Char, I told you this secret out of trust and a premonition of fate. Now tell me, are you willing to take the risk to save Monroe?"

After hearing this, Charles hesitated and asked: "Your Majesty, if Mr. Monroe is a so-called synthetic person, then Katrin, she..."

"Her curse comes from the flaw in her bloodline. After all, her biological father is a heretic creature with mixed bloodline, even mixed with the soul of the underworld. His father can rely on his strong body to resist the erosion of those curses, but Katrin is different . She is just a weak child.

"These curses that plague Katrin are difficult to resolve and can only be suppressed. After her father's accident, the bad omen directly caused the curse on her to break through. Her heart and lung function are failing, and she is in great pain now."

Looking at Katrin, who was panting hard on the bed, covered in sweat and pale face, Charles asked again: "So, can rescuing Menloo alleviate her curse?"

Saint Ann IV nodded slightly: "Maybe. In the past, with Monroe by her side, Catlin's situation would have been much better. Moreover, before, the reason why I was able to suppress the curse on Catlin was because of Monroe The notes of the 'Holy Eucharist Seminar' that were confiscated. I found a way to alleviate the curse by reading those heretical notes."

Charles sighed.

Now, both emotionally and rationally, he could find no excuse to refuse.

Although he felt that His Majesty the Pope was hiding some truth, for the sake of Ether Monroe and Catlin, he could only take this risk.

"Your Majesty, I hope you will take good care of Sirna on my behalf. Also, you must help me find the child named Lovna and ensure her safety." He made a decision: "Start preparing for the teleportation ceremony now. .”
