The female devils I saved came to my door

When he said this, the Pope seemed to hesitate for a moment: "Sirna's is very suitable."

"Wait..." Monroe's face showed an extremely rare look of panic.

He understood that his wife planned to use Sirna's body as a container to carry Katrin's soul.

In his panic, he didn't even bother to use the honorific title for the Pope: "When did you have this dangerous idea? You didn't say that before! You promised before that resurrecting Katrin would not require any additional victim……"

"Monroe, many people have been sacrificed. I don't care about a few more."

The Pope's eyes did not change at all. Instead, they became firmer (or colder) after seeing Monroe's wavering.

"Have we killed too few people along the way? This is the last sacrifice. As long as I can truly master the power of the Netherworld and truly study the magic that makes the dead reborn, all the sacrifices will be worth it. There is no one better than Sirna That saintly body is a more suitable container, and she will become the perfect carrier of Katrin’s soul.”

"This... even if Katrin is resurrected, will she accept the fact that she has occupied Sirna's body and been resurrected? Will she, a kind-hearted child, tolerate us desecrating her soul like this? Moreover, if Charles sees this possessor What would he think of Catherine in the body of Sirna? Saint Ann, you are simply crazy!"

"This is the only way. Otherwise, our resurrected Katrin will only be another short-lived and fragile miserable life. I will not kill Silna, she is also a good child, and her soul...she also Sacrifice may not really be necessary, I will keep part of her soul and let her soul coexist with Katrin...

"After Katrin is resurrected, I will personally send our daughter to see Charles, and I will explain everything to him. Charles is a reasonable person, he will understand us, he is our son-in-law, just like mine Like kids."

"You will drive Charles crazy!" Monroe could no longer imagine what Charles' attitude would be if he saw Katrin occupying Sirna's body.

"Don't worry, he has always loved our daughter so much, and he will be happy to see Katrin resurrected. Besides, Sirna will not really die, her soul will remain in her body, and she can Justifiably, she will be with her beloved Charles, fulfilling her long-held wish. Charles will understand us..."

At this time, Saint Ann IV was completely immersed in his own ideas.

She said as if she was under self-hypnosis: "Char is also our good boy. How could I do something to hurt him? When the time comes, his lover will return to the world, and his children will return to him. He won’t be angry, he’ll just be delighted.”

The words of Saint Ann IV were like murmuring in sleep, as if they were coming from a far away place, or like a whisper in his ears.

Black runes appeared on her cheeks, which were signs of being corroded by the underworld.

"Monroe, this is the only way to save our daughter. This is the only way. This is all for Katrin. In order to resurrect her, we can only ask Sirna to make some more sacrifices."

148. Misfortune

"Sheng'an, you have been eroded by the Nether World!" After realizing this, Munro quickly reminded: "You have studied those taboo powers too deeply! The Nether World is eroding your thoughts, don't let those extremes Paranoid emotions are taking over you, so wake up! If the worst happens, give up, Katrin has already lived a happy life, don’t blaspheme our daughter in this way."

"I'm not being controlled, Monroe, that's what I've considered."

The Pope's response was still cold and decisive: "This is not blasphemy. Don't wake up those unnecessary consciences at this time. Monroe, you have come to this point, are you going to give up? If Catherine can't be by our side , then what is the value of our efforts over the past few decades?”

…………

"I won't let you do something stupid like this."

Monroe looked at his wife who was completely different from the innocent girl she used to be, and had to re-examine his own opinion:

"Saint Ann, think about it carefully: Everything we have done so far is to allow Catlin to enjoy a happy and happy second life. Or would we rather let our daughter parasitize her human body in a sinful form? Did she come back to satisfy your paranoid possessiveness and affair?

"Are we using the power of the underworld in those children to create miracles and inspire the world, or are we monopolizing authority and deceiving believers? Are we going all the way to this point for your past ideals, or to satisfy your selfish desires? Don't forget understand your original intention.

"You are completely immersed in your own delusions, stop going your own way!"

However, his wife just looked at him silently.

"I thought you would understand my...Teacher Monroe." Her tone was a little frustrated and aggrieved: "That's our child, why did you shrink back at this time? I have what you think Is it so unbearable?"

"It's not that I don't understand you, I understand you too well. That's why I know you are going crazy now!" Monroe rarely got angry at her: "...If you want to resurrect your daughter, of course I will be happy to assist you with all my strength. But...I won't let you blaspheme her in this way, this is my bottom line."

"Okay." Saint Ann IV looked at his husband, and after a while, he sighed.The Netherworld runes on her face seemed to fade and dissipate, and the invisible evil aura on her body seemed to be somewhat dissipated: "I listen to you."

Monroe also breathed a sigh of relief at the other party's concession.

"As long as you understand." He said, planning to turn around and leave.

However, the moment he turned around, Saint Ann IV raised his hand, pointed it at Monroe, and snapped his fingers.

The unique red light of the trap-like array suddenly flashed under his feet. In just a moment, darkness as rich as substance surged out of the array like a gush of spring water, drowning Monroe.

"Katelin..." He couldn't even say the name, and his consciousness stagnated.

This magic was specifically aimed at him, and even his body as a synth couldn't compete with it.

"Don't worry, Teacher Monroe." The pope gently twisted her somewhat stiff neck, straightened her waist slowly, and breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that she had made up her mind: "...When everything is over, our family will People will be reunited."

——————****——————

When Munro was attacked by his wife, Shire in Ipoly felt a trance.

The heavy sword "Ether" he carried on his back seemed to have become much heavier.

When he took out the blade and looked at it carefully, he even saw some subtle cracks on the surface of the blade that were not easy to detect.

He was experiencing anxiety at this time.

That day, Sirna left a note and left without saying goodbye, returning to Glory City.This incident made Charles both surprised and puzzled.

Instead, it was Love, who had already anticipated Sirna's departure.

She knew the conversation that had taken place between Sharlanna and Sirna, and felt the alienation that Sirna felt in her hometown.Therefore, she was sure that her sister must be hiding something.

Moreover, she could feel that Sirna had some vague hostility towards her children.

"Could she be influenced by the Holy See? I feel that Sirna hates Sharlana a little, and despises her power, thinking that she will be affected by the power and become a demon-like existence." Lovna One guess: "...So, she left us out of disgust?"

"How is it possible... Hilna is definitely not such a person. She will not leave us because of this kind of unknown hatred and disgust."

Ciel denied Lovna's guess.He originally planned to set off immediately to intercept Hilna who was running away and ask the question clearly.

However, something unexpected happened - another rebellion broke out in the territory under Poli's rule.

Moreover, this rebellion is different from those in the past.

In the past days, although there were occasional nobles who were unwilling to lose their assets and eager to stand up again, they secretly plotted rebellions. There were also other neighboring countries that intended to take the opportunity to plunder Ipoli for profit.But these rebellions can be violently suppressed by Ciel with peace of mind, even if the rebels are torn into pieces.

But the difference this time is that the place where the rebellion occurred is located in the eastern part of the former Principality of Beztan, adjacent to the plains of Great Hessend.

This is considered their core area.

The rebellion was not initiated by barbarians who invaded from the northern wilderness, nor by nobles with evil intentions, nor by blind followers of heretical cults.

It was a group of local farmers who launched the rebellion.A group of farmers in villages and towns who had greeted Lovna when she conquered Beztan and sworn allegiance to her, led to a rebellion launched by a group of local Ipoli garrison troops.

This rebellion comes from the foundation of the empire. Of course, it is impossible to let Sharlanna and the others use the power of the Netherworld to suppress it.

Charles could only put aside the matter of Sirna for the time being and go to the place where the rebellion took place in person, hoping to understand the whole story.

He didn't use any magic and easily captured the leader of the rebels - after all, they were just a group of farmers and low-level soldiers.

The reason for their rebellion was also very simple, to resist taxes - just like the reason they rebelled against the nobles in the past.

The materials needed for the various policies implemented by Charles in Ipoli relied on exploitation from surrounding areas.

Although he can confidently tell himself that these funds were not used by him for personal enjoyment, but for real long-term future construction.However, these rebellious farmers did not see it that way.

All they knew was that nearly half of their hard-earned harvest had been confiscated, and the supply to Great Blacksend in the east had been robbed by outsiders.They only feel that the current Ipoli Empire is no different from the noble men of the past.

Their reasons for resisting were irrefutable, so Ciel could only behead them.But this was just the beginning. Countless villages, towns and farms that once cheered to welcome Iboli's army were now raising the flag of rebellion.

As a ruler, of course, he can take away the wealth of these farmers from a high position and talk about "necessary sacrifices" and "temporary costs".

But when he really faced these farmers who were carrying hoes and resisting even in the face of full-armored knights, he couldn't say these words no matter how thick-skinned he was.

Sirna was right to question. The new Ipoli that he now aspires to build with a sound system, ample food and clothing, schools, and hospitals is also a country of false prosperity based on exploitation and oppression.There will still be those who are exploited and choose to resist.

The future he longed for was still a castle in the air.The empire he built with his assistance to Lovna was even less orderly than the Holy See.

It was also when he was doubting himself that the heavy sword "Ether" that Ciel carried changed.

The sudden appearance of this magical weapon that was closely related to Monroe, as well as the sudden anxiety and panic that struck his heart... seemed to imply that Monroe was in some kind of dangerous situation.

It's possible that something happened with the Holy See.

As for Sirna, who had returned to the Holy See at this time, her safety also worried him.

Coupled with the rumors coming from the Holy See, what miracles were coming, the resurrection of the dead... these all made Ciel even more uneasy.

But the ongoing riots happening all over the Ipoli Empire also made him feel unable to escape.

"Lovna..." He called his student.

"Teacher." The red-haired female general hurriedly came to Ciel's side and looked at Ciel who was covering his head with wide eyes: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, I'm worried about Sirna. We should have chased her back earlier, but because of these rebellions, we have delayed it for too long. I'm worried that something might have happened to your sister... Although, right now The situation is urgent, but I have to leave Ipoli and go to the Holy See. I have to recover her."

"Ah?" Lovna hesitated for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Okay, you can do what you want to do. I will suppress these rebellious mobs for you. I have carefully remembered your teachings. People don't understand your ideals, nor your plans, but I understand. Teacher, just feel free to go to the Holy See and rescue my sister."

Charles opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but looking at Lovna's determined eyes, he finally said nothing.

Looking at her father who was hesitant to speak, Sharlana felt his complicated mood.The most sensible eldest daughter realized that her father was not an omnipotent and omniscient hero.He will hesitate and struggle, and he will grow old and die.

"Father, let me go with you." She took the initiative to stand up and said to her father: "I can summon the ghost creatures that run long distances and take you to the Holy See quickly to find Ms. Sirna. That way you can You can go and come back quickly. Yiboli still needs you, so you can’t delay for too long.”

"...Okay." Charles carried "Ether" behind his back again: "Just do this."

There is not much content left in this volume, so I will try to finish it before the end of the month.

149. A glimpse of the nether world

When Monroe was imprisoned by the Pope, he planned to seize Sirna's body as a container to resurrect his daughter.When Charles made up his mind to temporarily leave behind the many riots in the Ipoli Empire, he decided to bring Sher Lana to the Holy See to find Sirna.

Sirna, who was at the center of the storm, did not anticipate the upcoming storm.

During this period of time, all her efforts were devoted to the research of Netherworld magic.

She still felt that she had probably deceived the Pope, and she had also figured out how to use the power of the underworld. As long as she was careful enough, she could strip this terrible power from the child and make the helpless Pope give up her false ideas. Think about it.He will take these seven children to escape from the Holy See and go back to reunite with Ciel.

everything will get better.

The seven imprisoned children also tried their best to cooperate with her.

Sirna believes that as long as all the fantasies the children have made up in their dreams over the past ten years are dismantled, their dreams can return to their original and clearest form.The essence of the nether world deepest in these children's consciousness will be revealed.

It's a big sacrifice for these kids.

Everything they have is a fiction in this dream, allowing them to destroy all the carefully constructed good things in their lives and abandon everything they have, just for a small hope.

But these children still chose to trust Sirna.

"As long as we still remember all this and the beauty we have experienced together in dreams over the years, then everything is meaningful. Even if we wake up from this long dream, we will not forget it."

As a result, they destroyed everything they had imagined in their dreams since they could remember: the green fields imagined in the dream, the fantasy city in the dream, the gorgeous and solemn palaces and palaces carefully constructed in the dream... All were abandoned by them.

Finally, the children allowed their minds to relax and fell into a deep sleep.

Afterwards, these seven children disappeared into their dreams, and only a boundless white plane remained in their dreams.There is a hazy white soft light above, and under the feet is a white flat ground as flat as a mirror, with no boundaries visible around it.

Silna walked on this pale plane between consciousness and illusion, unable to even feel the flow of time.This is the wasteland of consciousness, silent and peaceful.

Here, Sirna also let her mind go, feeling the power from the underworld as much as possible, and looking for her goal.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, when her patience was almost exhausted, Sirna finally found what she was looking for in the dreams of these children.

She saw a door imagined by her subconscious.

A door frame that was only slightly taller than Sirna and looked a bit tattered.A dark, rusty copper ring is mounted on the rough door panel.It stands abruptly on this pale surface, like an ink dot in the center of a white paper.

And behind this seemingly old and shabby door, there seems to be something twisted and powerful beyond imagination.When the knocker on the door was touched, Sirna would even tremble with instinctive fear.

This is the passage to the underworld.

The source of the power of the seven children is here.

This door is the passage deep in these children's consciousness that connects themselves to the underworld.

This side of the door is the dream world, and behind the door is the underworld.

When those children wake up, the power behind the door will penetrate into their consciousness, become a part of them, accept their control, and project into reality.

This is how the Netherworld magic is released.

Forcibly destroying this door constructed in consciousness may cause irreversible harm to those children.Sirna's purpose is also to figure out the composition of the power of the Netherworld behind the door, gain the recognition of the Netherworld, and seal the door permanently, even if she has to bear the curse of the Netherworld.

"I'm doing the right thing, and I have a clear conscience..." She comforted herself and tried to cheer herself up: "I will save those children."

Thinking of this, Sirna took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in her heart, and gently knocked on the somewhat broken door.

The broken door shook, and then the slightly loose door panel opened with a creaking sound.

It was pitch black inside, even darker than the pale plains in the dream.Sirna, who was in a dream at this time, was unable to summon a ball of light to illuminate the environment inside the door.

The Netherworld was inviting her in.

She could only step into the door cautiously.
