"The dream city shaped by the power of the underworld will stand on the earth. At the expense of the children created by the devil, all devout believers in this world will be saved. In the hope and happiness brought by miracles, they will Obtain salvation. The dead and the living will coexist in the world, and the world will re-believe in the Heavenly Father who has long abandoned mortals. People will unite under the guidance of the Holy See, and the old order and the corrupt Holy See will be reborn... Is this true? Is it not good?"

Sirna: "A miracle based on lies? Your Majesty, you know that the power of the underworld is false and the delusion of the dead——"

"As long as people are willing to believe, it will be true." The Pope emphasized without hesitation: "Faith is the foundation of everything. Sirna, why do you always care so much about those children? Are they important? They are the same as you in the past. What’s the essential difference between the people I hurt in order to maintain my authority?”

"They are Ciel's children." Sirna replied: "So, I love them. I want to reunite them with their father, and I want to protect them. I will not let you take advantage of my teacher, let alone For you to take advantage of his heir - that's the reason."

"...Hilna, loving Charles does not mean loving those children." The Pope sighed: "I love Charles as much as you do, and I also thank him for everything he has done for Katrin..."

After saying that, the stooped pope suddenly straightened up his waist. Then, he wiped off the veneers on his face that were used to disguise wrinkles, took off his wig, and let his long, smooth golden hair spread out, revealing a smooth and bright face. beautiful face.

"Katlin?"

No, that face was thinner than Katrin's, with higher cheekbones, eyes full of fatigue, and some subtle wrinkles at the corners of the eyes.

"Although my real name was also Katrin in the past, the miserable child you know is my daughter. I have been unable to recognize her since she was born."

As he spoke, the pope looked across at Monroe, her husband—the man who had been standing behind her for decades and could not announce their relationship, but who had been silently supporting her and helping her stabilize her power.

The latter looked away.

The pope then looked at the astonished Sirna in front of him: "...That's why I am especially grateful to Charles. This can make my daughter happy, bring her joy and hope, and give her life meaning." man. I like the fairy tales he writes, I like seeing him reciting stories to my daughter, and I like seeing the smile on my daughter’s face when she is with him.

"I know that his destiny is not ordinary, I know that he is a person with a clear heart, and I do my best to cultivate him and help him. These are all sincere, and I am not taking advantage of him.

"But I also have my dream. I want to turn this extremely corrupt Holy See into the Kingdom of God on earth again. I need a miracle.

"So, even if they are the descendants of Ciel, I will imprison them."

130.The story of another teacher-student pair

A long time ago, there was a beautiful girl who came from an ordinary noble family and had great ambition, talent and pursuit. When she was ignorant, she met a teacher who changed her life.

Her teacher has seen a lot and experienced a lot, so his character has become a little numb and cold.But he discovered the girl's unparalleled magical talent.

Out of appreciation, out of love, out of expectation, out of responsibility...he chose to teach this girl wholeheartedly.

This girl has many ideals and is eager to use her talents to take root in the Holy See, climb to a high position, make a career, and change this difficult and rigid world.

Although his teacher did not quite agree with her ambitions and ideals, he still supported the student.

Gradually, the teacher felt that this student, full of ideals and desires, had given meaning to his long and confusing life.

And the girl was wholeheartedly grateful to the teacher who had always protected her.

In the end, despite the considerable age gap between the teacher and student, love sprouted between them.

One day, the girl expressed her love for her teacher, and his teacher was in his prime and full of expectations for the future.After some hesitation, he chose to accept the girl's love.

At that time, the girl had already relied on her own talent and the secret assistance of her teacher to enter the Holy See and held an important position, so she should not be able to get married.

However, they still hid it from everyone, completed the ceremony, and gave birth to an heir.

This is the story of Monroe and his wife.

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

Sirna: “However, they did not achieve happiness.

"Monroe hid something at first. He didn't want his wife to know his origins, because he was a synthetic man created by the Eucharist Research Society, and was a heretical creation that any orthodox force regarded as evil.

"He was afraid that his identity would make his wife hate him. But he didn't expect that his blood would still affect their children.

"After the birth of her first child, Ms. Katrin discovered a curse on the child - the power of the underworld distorted Katrin's cognition, causing the child's thinking to stagnate in an infancy. .

"All the knowledge he learns will be twisted into disorderly noise by the chaotic underworld power in his mind. Those powers corrode the child's body, erode his organs, and devour his life.

"The child died quickly."

"This lady finally learned the truth about her husband's confession that he was a synthetic human created by a heretic. She also learned about the curse of the underworld that her husband carried, and the tragedy destined for their children.

"But she did not hate her husband because of this. She still loved her teacher very much, and she still longed to continue the bloodline of herself and her lover.

“In order to obtain more resources, to gain access to more forbidden knowledge, and to lift the curse of this bloodline, she needs to climb to a higher position within the Holy See.

“With the assistance of her husband, this gifted lady steadily rose in her position within the Holy See, from priest to local bishop, diocesan bishop, cardinal… until she was granted the title of pope.

"In the past few decades, she has learned a lot of taboo knowledge about the Netherworld, whether it is complicated and dangerous Netherworld magic, biological magic that violates the doctrine, or terrifying creations developed by heretics... This pope has dabbled in it all.

"During the days when she took office as pope, she collected all the information she could about the heretical group called the Eucharist Institute. She was eager to replicate the technology of those heretical creations and create children who could truly survive.

"She even allowed the development of these heretics and allowed them to continue their blasphemous research in remote mountainous areas, while she silently monitored them, just to let them produce suitable results.

"But that's not enough. After all, those heretics are just mortals. The technology that truly created Monroe, the synthetic human, was given to humans by the mysterious demon subversive. Mortals can only crudely imitate ugly monsters, and The only synthetic person who truly possesses a soul and can overcome the curse is Monro.

“During this long period of time, she actually gave birth to more than one child for Monroe, but without exception, they all died before reaching adulthood.

"All attempts to prolong the lives of these children, or to restore their sanity, have failed.

"After all, Netherworld magic is too difficult. The Netherworld symbolizes the death of one of the four powers of God the Father. Its real power involves the inherent fear of death in human beings. The real power is unimaginably powerful and dangerous. Inestimable.

"But to this day, all people's understanding of the Netherworld only comes from fragments of various ancient books and the summary experience of a large number of magic experiments. Most people's use of the Netherworld is limited to summoning some Netherworld creatures as contractors. Or create a small-scale barrier - this is obviously not enough.

"Their father will always try his best to absorb the power of the underworld that tortures these children and dispel the curse, but to no avail.

"These children have always been trapped by the curse of the underworld. They live in ignorance and pain. Even because of their parents' sensitive identities, these children can only live in small and claustrophobic indoors, cannot be exposed to the outside world, and rarely have the opportunity to see each other. To the sun and sky.

“Their short lives always come to an end quickly.

"And their mothers always wipe away their tears again after a period of sadness, and like a paranoid lunatic, continue to think of ways to improve and give birth to healthier and longer-lived children.

"This mother is stubbornly unwilling to give up. For hundreds of years, this woman who should have grown old has relied on many taboo spells to maintain her youth and body's vitality.

"When she is outside, she will use wigs and veneers to disguise herself as a hunched old man to hide her eternal youthful appearance. As the nearly [-]-year-old old woman St. Ann IV, she presides over the affairs of the Holy See and manages religious affairs in the mainland. .

"But in fact, she always stubbornly pestered her husband, who had long been disillusioned with procreation, to give birth to a new heir for him.

“Even though Monroe felt that continuing to let these children come into the world to suffer was torture for these children and it was better to let it go, the mother still refused to give up.

“After all, this has long been her obsession.

"Moreover...the long research has also made the pope excessively curious and yearning for the power of the nether world. The radical thoughts of the heresy are also subtly influencing her.

"She desires more. Not only does she hope to give birth to offspring, she also hopes to find the souls of all the children who died in the past in the depths of the underworld, so that all the children she loves can return to the world. She hopes to use the underworld , truly created a miracle that shocked the world, saved the Holy See, which in her opinion had long been rigid and decadent, and realized her ideal of changing the world that she had had since childhood...

"But these are always just delusions deep in her heart. She also knows that these are always difficult to realize.

“It wasn’t until Katrin was born that things turned around.

"Originally, this girl seemed to be no different from the pope's children in the past. She was just as stupid, just as fragile, and just as precarious. There was a high probability that she would die before she reached adulthood. The old Catherine didn't even give this girl Thinking of a suitable and good name, I just casually gave her the same name as myself.

“But the girl’s fortunes took a turn.

“On the eve of that child’s thirteen or fourteen years old, when she was about to die, her fate changed.

“It seems that the Father, who has been so indifferent to mortals, heard Pope Catherine’s prayer.

"According to calculations, it seems that something appeared in the world of Yalan at that time, changing the direction of the entire world, disturbing the net that led to the fate of the world, and even changing the lives and deaths of many people.

“Katlin is also one of countless people whose destiny has been changed.

"So, she, who was supposed to die as a teenager, survived. The curse that was supposed to take her life spared her, and she lived to adulthood.

"As an adult, her intelligence even improved, and she could even read, read simple words, and barely understand her mother's words. Her mother was overjoyed and stayed with the girl almost day and night. Even at the risk of others discovering the truth, he had to place the child in a house opposite the Glow Cathedral, just so that he could spend nights with his daughter every day.

“In her twenties, this girl came across a fairy tale picture book.

"This was purchased by his father outside - this picture book is different from any book she has seen in the past. There is no long paragraphs of text, and there is no exaggerated and dazzling decoration. It is a replica with simple binding. After opening it , it only has illustrations with bright and soft colors and simple text. It is very easy to read.

“The child loved the story in this picture book.

"So, their parents remembered the name of the author of this picture book, the author called 'Mr. Charles of Ipoly', and collected many picture books from the far east for her to read.

“While Lovna and I were happily playing and studying in our hometown’s residence, accompanied by Teacher Charles, Katrin on the other side also found comfort in Teacher Charles’s stories.

"...No, for Katrin, Ciel's light-hearted and hopeful stories may be more meaningful, and it would be more appropriate to call them redemption.

"Those characters in the Shire's stories took shape in her consciousness. On countless darkest nights, they protected her in the girl's dreams, shielded her from the erosion of the ghosts of the underworld and the power of chaos, and continued her life, allowing her to endure those curses.

"Her mother has been paying attention to the changes in her daughter and hopes to understand the reasons.

"Finally, that day, Teacher Charles brought me to Glory City. My talent immediately attracted the attention of the Holy See, and we were also brought into the Glory Cathedral and became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Although Pope Catherine did not show up, she actually hid in the secret and saw Teacher Charles and me. At that time, she saw Charles' fate, saw that he had a will that could withstand the power of the underworld, and that he was so pure that he was almost A soul that would not be contaminated by any external object. She finally knew who the person was who changed her daughter's fate.

"You will know everything that happens after that."

131. Her ideal is to defeat death

Sirna: "Pure and sincere people will not be afraid of inevitable death, nor will they become distorted by obsession and desire. Their souls can dispel the fear of death symbolized by the Nether World, and they will not be distorted by the dead. Influenced by paranoid desires.

"It is precisely because of this trait that Mr. Charles will not be affected by the forces of the underworld that have eroded Katrin. Instead, he can suppress the curse on Katrin, and he gradually helps Katrin regain her clear mind and possess The ability to speak.

“The Pope was overjoyed that this was the first of his children to live beyond adulthood and become sane.

"However, this is not enough, because Katrin's body is still very fragile and it is difficult for her to live a normal life.

“At that time, the Pope had a premonition that the demon called the Subverter would return to the human world with the help of the chaos caused by the plague.

"She knew that it was this demon who had assisted the original leader of the Eucharist Institute in creating her husband Monroe. She predicted the conspiracy that this demon might carry out - the demon hoped to create a truly powerful creature capable of sowing chaos. The new human race continues the plan that failed to be realized a hundred years ago.

"Therefore, the Pope decided to use the demon in turn. She hoped to obtain real synthetic human technology from the demon, so that she could reshape Katrin's body, make Katrin truly healed, and be happy with her good son-in-law. live together.

"According to the omen of fate, she asked Munro to leave Glory City in the name of 'chasing heretics', and she encountered that demon...

"After the subversive cleverly possessed Monroe's body, used it to sneak into the Holy See, lure Teacher Charles into a trap, obtain his bloodline, and successfully create those children, the Pope asked his husband to take action to kill the demon He was severely injured and took away the seven children created by the devil.

"Although the devil gave away the other seven children and gave them to Lovna to raise, the Pope also took this opportunity to master seven unprecedentedly powerful children of the netherworld. Her goal of saving her daughter was finally realized possible.

"However, her research still failed. Although she has been imprisoning the seven children underground in the Holy See for more than ten years, constantly extracting their power, conducting various taboo and dangerous research, hoping to master the underworld The secret that allowed her daughter to truly recover from health. However, her research never made any progress.

"Even if the Pope himself possesses the most powerful Netherworld magic power in the continent, she is just a tiny speck of dust in the vast and far-reaching Netherworld, and she cannot find a way to save her daughter.

"In the end, her daughter Catherine got a nominal engagement with Charles, and Catherine happily walked to the end of her life with Charles. And the Pope himself, after sending away his daughter, was still unwilling to Willing to give up.

"For more than ten years, she has not even dared to confess her identity as a mother in front of her daughter. She cannot even overly express her love for her daughter. She can only hide it from everyone and arrange for her daughter to be placed in her own home. Next to the office, I watched everything she went through every day as a comfort.

“Maybe it was this suppressed love that drove her completely crazy.

"This time, she has no plans to have any more children.

"She wants to bring Katrin and Katrin's brothers and sisters who died young back to the world. She wants to use nether magic to attract the souls of the dead and resurrect the dead.

"Not even just her children - her greatest ambition is to truly understand the secrets of the underworld and allow everyone in the world to gain eternal life."

When speaking of this, Sirna concluded: "...Anyway, at that time, the Pope was already a little crazy. She had been completely eroded by the nether world she longed to conquer, and turned into a woman trapped by the obsession and desire of the dead. Living bigot.”

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

"Silna, my dear child." Looking at Sirna who had not yet accepted the reality and was still immersed in shock, Pope Katrine spoke again:

"Everything I have done is just to allow us, these mortals who have been abandoned by Heavenly Father long ago, to escape from our predetermined fate. Let the demons who wantonly harm us become a force for human use, let miracles come to the world, and let the world once again Piety brings joy to the living and brings the dead back to earth. What’s wrong with that?”

Sirna: "Your Majesty, no matter how you explain it, it can't change the fact that you took advantage of Mr. Charles's child and fabricated miracles to deceive everyone. What you did was not selfless. You just intended to deceive the world and stabilize the world." Authority, resurrect your own children.”

Pope: "I do have selfish desires. I long to truly understand the mysteries of the underworld. I hope to restore the souls of the dead and let my children who died young, Emil, Lule, Admelia... of course... Katrin, so that they can all return to me as their mother."

The bishop mentioned one name after another, which were all the children she had given birth to with Monroe in the past, a group of children who had died young and were cursed by the underworld.

When these names were mentioned, a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed in the pope's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and continued:

"But if I can truly succeed, then I won't be the only one who benefits. Everyone in this world will be able to reunite with their deceased relatives and friends in the mortal world.

“The Eternal Heavenly Father has taught us that by overcoming the fear from our origin, using everything we have to reverse the tragedy in our destiny, and overcoming the things that fetter us, we can gain eternity.

"What I do is practicing the teachings of Heavenly Father. I walk on the four-direction path taught by Heavenly Father. Everything I do comes from my original pursuit. I am correct."

Hilna: "If it's correct, then why don't you tell Teacher Charles the truth?"

"Hilna, your teacher Charles, he has always been trapped by his conscience and reality. Sometimes he wants to be a selfless person, and sometimes he loves the people around him more than strangers. He really wants to make some changes. The world, but he is also afraid that his actions will bring pain to others... He is a contradictory person.

"I don't want him to get entangled. I need these children of his as tools. I need to sacrifice these seven children to truly grasp the power of the Netherworld and save everyone.

"I can make the barren fields grow food that can feed everyone, let the dead return to the human world to reunite with the living, and let the ever-fading glorious city stand on every plain... As long as these seven children can continue to be used by me , let me truly understand the mysteries of the underworld, and I will have the confidence to let these miracles last forever in the world.

"At that time, my Katrin, she will be with us. Then your teacher Charles will understand me."

After saying that, the Pope was also a little tired: "Besides, I should have allowed those miracles to come later, which might have been safer. But, it was already a bit late. The demon, relying on the barrier of the war, took the opportunity to kill the other seven The child was sent to the East. She blocked my premonition and gave the child to your sister who is always causing trouble.

"Originally, after Monroe found clues about these children, he planned to take the opportunity to intercept them and take their bodies back to the Holy See. However, your teacher had already rushed back to Ipoli and met your sister in advance.

"After he learned that those children were his bloodline, he even broke with Monroe to keep those children. Now he may have made up his mind to stay in the east to raise those heirs.

"Because of his choice, his destiny has changed."
