The female devils I saved came to my door

"Nameless, those children are the heroes who saved me."

Compared to the children who started the East Ipoli Empire, these seven children of Sirna were not very happy.

"Lovna is a very good mother. Her children have always been protected by her since they could remember. Especially Sharlanna, Lovna's love for her is unreserved."

Although caring about her sister is very subtle, Hilna is willing to admit it.

Because, Sirna's seven children did not have a parent who loved and protected them like a mother during their childhood.Not only that, when Sirna finally waited for them to meet again, they had been sleeping in a cage-like coffin for nearly ten years.

It seems that when Ciel fought against the demon for the first time, not long after these children were created, the sword master found an opportunity and snatched the seven children from the demon's hands and sent them back to the Holy See.

These children, as long as they can remember, have been placed in a huge cavity underground in Glory City, imprisoned in suspended crystal coffins.

This is the magic circle created by the Pope, far away from the surface, but still able to sense the death and chaos coming from the ground.A just right distance can just make these children feel the mental torment.

The most important thing is that this magic circle can directly extract the power of these seven children and use it for the Pope on earth.

The previous miracles that shocked the continent were actually caused by the Netherworld magic of these children.Most of their power was siphoned away by the Pope.But these seven children can still instinctively use some Netherworld magic for themselves.

For example, they can share each other's dreams.

Only their consciousness and thoughts are free, and their knowledge comes from the broken memories in Ciel's soul.Relying on the knowledge inherited from their father's soul, they weave a long dream that will never wake up, and pass the boring life.

The palaces and towers they built in their dreams towered like mountains;

They imagined towering bell towers, like cyan waterfalls falling from the sky;

They made up imaginary mandalas and temples several times larger than the Glow Cathedral, and had fun in them;

They planted giant trees with canopies so huge that they could cover the sky, and crawled through huge maze-like tree holes...

In this way, their imagination has been exhausted, and even the most magnificent scenes in their dreams cannot make these children feel excited.

When Sirna sensed Charles's bloodline, sneaked into the underground cave, and in shock, couldn't help but touch the transparent coffins of these children, these children also sensed her presence.

Hilna was the only living person who intervened in their lives during these long years, except St. Ann IV.

They were also curious about who this lady was, so they pulled her into their long dream.

So, just after Sirna touched the surface of the coffin, her consciousness quickly became hazy and ethereal, and her body seemed to be immersed in a piece of butter that was about to melt.

When Sirna came back to her senses, she found that she was in a beautiful green field that looked like an oil painting.

Here is the dream shared by the seven children.

The vision here is not clear but not blurry either. All the scenery seems to be covered with a light layer of twilight, giving it an unreal sense of illusion.

In the wilderness, the sparse trees made a roaring sound in a strong howling wind, shaking off countless brown leaves.These flying dark leaves were picked up by the strong wind, rolling and floating in the air, and in an instant, they turned into a group of brightly colored birds.

The gorgeous birds spread their wings, gathered and separated in the air, and finally disappeared on the other side of the hillside, like exploding fireworks - along with the dispersed birds, Sirna, who raised her head, moved slowly. , followed the flock of birds over the hill.

Then, on the field, Sirna saw the seven children and met the seven pairs of black pupils.

These children are undoubtedly the descendants of Ciel. When Hilna looked at them and met their curious and worried eyes, she could clearly feel that deep down in their hearts, these children were similar to Ciel. soul.

They surrounded Sirna and greeted her with shy enthusiasm.

At first, they were a little reserved.After saying hello, Sirna could only look at each other awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Sirna also felt embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

But when Sirna saw the majestic and majestic wonders created by these children in their dreams, she was also shocked.

The children were delighted to see her so shocked.The joy of the past finally found someone to share it with, and they seemed to have a complimentary host. They enthusiastically pulled this rare guest and played in their dreams for a long time.

They took Sirna to see everything they had created in this dream for more than ten years.

They took Sirna through this gorgeous dream city, pointing at the magnificent creations that had no names.Every time Sirna's courtesy compliments would make these children happy for a long time.

They are just like Ciel when they were young. After making a good-looking picture book, they would share it with Hilna and Lovna. When they wrote an interesting story, they would recite it to two students and wait for their comments.He would tell them as children the things that make him happy, and let them share the joy together.

The children chatted with Sirna for a long time.

They said they didn't have names.

As long as they can remember, they have been sealed in a crystal coffin, suspended in this underground cavity isolated from the world.

They have nothing but thoughts, consciousness, and knowledge inherited from their blood.

The kind old man who claimed to be St. Ann IV once stroked the coffins of these children and told them, "Your creator is a demon who used the soul and flesh of a bigot to forge you."

Therefore, as creatures of the devil, they are inherently sinful.Must be imprisoned and forever isolated from the world.They can only enjoy a small amount of freedom in their dreams so as not to burden the world.

But they also have a chance at redemption.

The Pope tells them that the human world is not a happy place.Human beings will do stupid things because of selfishness, paranoia, and fear, they will suffer because of limited abilities, and they will kill each other because of the lack of resources... The Father God that mortals believe in comes from the fear of mortals, so they never respond to the call of the world.

The children also learned that as creations of the devil, they were born with the power to turn reality into reality.The reason why they can share dreams is because of this gift from the devil.

The Pope said that their power comes from the underworld.That is the space where the paranoia and desires of the dead are formed.As long as they are willing to endure a long period of loneliness in an endless dream, at the cost of their lives, they can activate the power of the underworld.That power can distort reality.

That Saint Ann IV could use the power of these children to create miracles in the mortal world.

The Pope said that as long as they rely on their strength and enough people are saved, their sins can be washed away.

This is of course a lie, a lie that relies on the guilt of these children and uses them as a tool.Sirna knew in her heart that this was just a careerist who wanted to use these children to achieve some ulterior purpose.

These seven children, who possess the strongest magical talents that Sirna has ever seen, have been imprisoned by the Holy See as terrified sinners.

After listening to the accounts of these children, Sirna felt an unspeakable guilt when faced with these children who were created by demons but had the blood of Ciel flowing through them.

It's really strange. Not long ago, I just received a letter from Teacher Charles.In the letter, when the teacher claimed that he wanted to stay in Ipoli and take care of the demonic creations that retained his blood, he was still so angry that he even felt that those little demons had bewitched the teacher...

But when she actually saw the real Ciel's children with her own eyes, she also understood that she could not turn a blind eye to them.

They were indeed Ciel, part of her teachers.

"By the way, ma'am, what's your name?" A child couldn't help but asked, "You should have a name, right?"

Familiar tone, familiar questions.

Sirna recalled the time when Charles saw her for the first time, holding her hand and asking her name with the same politeness.

At that time, she was still a seven or eight-year-old child. Under her mother's questioning gaze, she timidly saluted the tall and handsome young man, and then told Charles her name in a soft voice.

"My name is Hilna." She said truthfully: "...and I know your father. He is not a bigot like St. Ann IV said. He is my hero. I will take you to see him. of."

Sorry

Sorry, I've been in such bad shape lately.

129.The truth about the Pope

Seeing the clear souls of those children in Sirna, she finally woke up from the confusion.

Her heart also slowly recovered from all kinds of complicated negative emotions.

She realized that she was indeed driven by jealousy, greed and strong possessiveness, almost forgetting her true self.Therefore, in these years, she has been deceived by the Pope and immersed in the desire for power.

She told the children who their father was, what kind of person their father was, and the status of Charles in her heart...

"So, our father...is a hero?" the children asked.

"Correct."

"We are not born sinful?" they were a little excited.

"No."

"...Does that mean we don't have to stay here all the time?"

"Yes, that pope is using you."

"........."

"I will get you out," she promised.

After making this promise, Sirna looked at these children who didn't even dare to cheer for it, and slowly left their dreams.

Then, she immediately left the underground cave where they were imprisoned and returned to the ground again.

She took out the letter Ciel had written to her again.

Reading Ciel's letter, she still had mixed feelings in her heart.Although she still didn't want to return to her hometown or meet those relatives she didn't know how to deal with, she still wanted to return to Teacher Charles.

She made up her mind.

The glorious city on earth is still immersed in the joy and excitement brought by miracles.

The lush fruit trees that sprouted from the ground, the inexhaustible abundance of grains, the resurrected souls from the underworld, and the dreamy city that only disappeared in the early morning...the appearance of these miracles continued to spread in the countries west of the mainland, almost becoming myths .

Countless fanatical believers gathered around Glory City, praying to see this wonder again.Their prayers still shook the heavens.A fanatical religious atmosphere swept almost everyone in the holy city.

Only a handful of high-level mages in the Holy See who studied Netherworld magic vaguely realized that something was wrong - those so-called miracles did not really originate from the power of God the Father in Heaven, and were probably just the result of powerful Netherworld magic.

After all, the iron law of this world is that the dead cannot be resurrected, and harvest must be done with sweat.

All souls will inevitably be shattered in the waves of the underworld and become part of the boundless netherworld.

Therefore, those fanatical believers must have been deceived.

Sirna contacted these mages who were not deceived and told them the truth.These mages were also shocked that the Pope had the audacity to use children created by demons and extract their power to forge the miracles of God the Father.

Sirna's plan was to take these people who were not deceived, rescue the seven children from the underground, and then flee to the East - after all, Sirna was still somewhat grateful for the Pope's past protection and support. She didn't want or dare to be his enemy face to face.

However, Sirna still underestimated the Pope's methods.

The next day, when she was about to act as planned, there was a knock on her door.

And the sword master who had left the Holy See and been missing for more than a year was standing at the door. After the duel with Charles, he knew that he could not persuade the stubborn son-in-law, so he had left the East and returned to the Holy See.

"Sirna... follow me to see Your Majesty." He said expressionlessly, and fastened the iron ring that restricted magic on Sirna's arm.

"Hilna, I know you have met the children underground. I also know you are plotting this. I have already taken care of the others. As for you, I hope to see you in person."

The fresh blood stains on the heavy sword behind him also clearly showed the fate of those who resisted.

He always absolutely respected the orders of Saint Ann IV and never violated them.

Hilna held her last hope and asked Monroe: "You are the person that Teacher Charles respected the most in the past, and you are also his friend. Why did you do this? You don't feel that what I did was wrong. Are they? Those are Teacher Ciel's children... Your Majesty has been imprisoning them all these years, extracting their power, and creating these false miracles to deceive everyone... Don't you think this is wrong? "

"It's all worth it for my family." Monroe gave an abrupt answer.

"...You don't want the Pope to use the Netherworld spell to create a miracle and resurrect Katrin, do you?"

"..." Monroe did not give a clear answer.

"Lord Monroe, it is impossible for the dead to be resurrected! Even if St. Ann IV re-created Miss Catlin for you, it would be fake, and her soul has long since dissipated in the underworld!"

"Katlin never left me." He was like a stubborn father unwilling to accept the death of a loved one.You can't even see any sadness or compassion on his expression.

Sirna was also desperate. She felt that the sword master was hopeless and could not be persuaded at all.

Looking at the frustrated student, Monroe hesitated for a while and told her the truth:

"Sirna, actually... Your Majesty has been planning this for a long time. The reason why these demon children were born is not only because of the devil's conspiracy, but also because of Your Majesty's calculations.

"At that time, I had already predicted that the demon would use Ciel's blood and soul to create these powerful heirs to spread chaos. Therefore, she used the devil's strategy in turn to let these heirs come into the world. , can become her tool. She is absolutely resourceful, and she will use the power of these children of the Netherworld to turn this world into a truly beautiful place."

———*****————

"You were caught?" Wuming became nervous when he heard this.

"Yes." Sirna nodded: "The Pope knew it from the moment I sneaked underground and came into contact with the coffins where the children were imprisoned. After all, she is a master of numerology magic.

"I was taken to the Glorious Cathedral by Monroe, and in her office I saw the Pope, who had not been seen in public recently. She looked a little haggard, more stooped than before, but her eyes were still clear."

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

The layout of the office was exactly the same as when Hilna first visited. The only difference was that the side room on the left side of the Pope had a secondary door lock.

The girl who once lived in the side room has passed away. The thin blonde girl will no longer lean out to welcome the arrival of Sirna and Charles.

Facing Sirna, the pope did not show much anger.

She looked at Sirna with pity and frankly admitted what she had done: "Yes, after the devil created the descendants of Charles, Munro brought seven of them back to the Holy See, and I imprisoned them. I went underground and extracted their power. Before, I used their power to forge the miracles outside the city.

"I originally planned to wait until I was strong enough and fully prepared before letting the world see these miracles. Unfortunately...due to the turmoil caused by your sister in the east and the departure of your teacher, I can only advance it, otherwise fate will It will add a lot of variables.”

"Why? Your Majesty?" Sirna asked the Pope in front of her: "I know you never claim to be kind and compassionate, but this behavior is absolutely blasphemous -"

"So what? This is my dream. Sirna, these are just some small sacrifices. How many people have died in various plagues and wars over the years? Is anyone really more valuable than anyone else's life? These seven Children themselves are created by the devil for a certain purpose. If we use the devil's creation in turn, what's the problem?
