A man in the ark was forced to become a king

"Now, take your people and your mission goals, leave enough compensation and leave here."

"This……"

At this time, Scout just felt that Lin Lu's behavior was too weird and difficult to guess.

He can take action against those mercenaries without hesitation, and he can also save civilians with good intentions.

He would consider the pros and cons, accept the deal from the Tower of Babel team, and then explode because civilians were in danger, and even confront them tit for tat for a reason that seemed ridiculous to most people.

Cruelty and kindness, madness and order are concentrated in the same person, creating that kind face.

He used spells that he had never seen before and walked with the messengers from all nations in Lateran. He seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, making it difficult to figure out.

Can't see through, can't see through at all.

Silently picking up his weapon, Scout took a deep look at Lin Lu and jumped off the roof.

Since it doesn't make sense, and the other party has no intention of keeping them here, we have to leave first and wait until we return to the Tower of Babel headquarters before making any plans. Tower of Babel is not the kind of unreasonable organization, and this matter is not There is no room for maneuver.

"Aren't you curious about what the mission is that they want to accomplish even if they create such large-scale chaos?"

Scout left, and a hand wearing a tactical glove suddenly popped out from the edge of the roof. Immediately afterwards, Fiametta jumped up from below. There was still a faint heat on the gun in his hand. It was obvious that he had just fired. .

"Mostema told me not to meddle in other people's business."

Lin Lu glanced at Scout below, her expression returned to her usual gentle state, and she shook her head with a smile.

"You are not such an obedient person."

Hearing this, Fiametta couldn't help but rolled her eyes, not believing a word of it, why don't you mind your own business?She had never seen a guy who was so aggressive in minding his own business. No Sakaz lunatic in the civilized world was this crazy.

"Indeed, if you really listened, you wouldn't act like this."

Mostima, who became elusive after using the spell, stood beside him at some point, complaining with a strange expression.

"I don't think you are as angry as you look. What on earth do you want to do when you threaten the higher-ups of the Tower of Babel in Kazdale?"

"Of course I'm angry, but I'm not as angry as I look. There's certainly a reason why I did that. In this way, I should be able to get in touch with one of the rulers of this country soon."

Lin Lu's eyes were deep, as if she had seen the future in the near future, and her tone was determined.

"Are you sure you didn't attract the pursuit from the Tower of Babel?"

Mostema's expression became even weirder, with an indescribable meaning in his eyes.

"[-]% sure not. Today we saw the dark side of their unscrupulous actions, but the reputation spread is not groundless. Where there is black, there must be white. Where there are unscrupulous evil spirits, there will be a shining sun. , Her Royal Highness is the real owner of the Tower of Babel."

"The world has never been in clear black and white, but a delicate gray."

Chapter 49 Conjecture about Theresia

It is very dangerous to walk in the uninhabited wilderness outside cities and villages at night. Many creatures that have been mutated and twisted due to the infection of the Origin Stone like to come out at night to hunt and find food.

Therefore, unless traveling by vehicle, even a small mercenary group with sufficient personnel is unwilling to walk at night. They usually find a suitable place to camp before nightfall.

But Lin Lu and the others didn't have this worry. The three of them were all experienced veterans, and they were strong enough. The mutated creatures were not enough to pose a threat.

The town after the war was in a mess, the streets needed to be repaired, the houses needed to be rebuilt, and the bodies needed to be buried and disposed of... In this situation, neither Lin Lu nor Mostima had any intention of staying there, so they simply set off to their destination overnight.

The only thing that was more difficult was Fiammetta. The space on Torret's back was limited, and it could only carry two people, and there was no room for a third person. So after discussion, Fiammetta paid for it from Zhenmin. I bought a second-hand trolley for transporting groceries. Lin Lu was responsible for riding a horse and pulling the trolley. The two "delicate and frail" girls sat on the trolley behind, so everyone could save a lot. strength.

——In fact, Lin Lu has always been deeply doubtful about Fiammetta's leg strength. You must know that he and Mostima were driving when they came out of the gantry. Even if the car behind them broke down, they were still riding horses and driving at the same speed. Not slow, but the Liboli girl who had no transportation arrived at the town at the same time as them... She couldn't run faster than riding a bicycle, right?

Considering all the unsolved mysteries of the Super Terrans, it seems possible...

And she is still a bird, maybe she can fly...

"Speaking of which, I have offended the people in the Tower of Babel this time. If my guess is wrong, they may really come to trouble me. Are you two sure you want to follow me?"

Riding on horseback was boring. Torrett knew the direction and could move on his own. Lin Lu sat on the horse for a while, feeling uncomfortable, so she jumped on the cart behind and took the initiative to stir up the conversation.

"You've already asked that question."

Mostima seemed to like the rather weird-looking azure stone mask very much. After getting in the car, she put it on her head, so that no one could see her expression. Of course, she rarely had any expressions.

"You were the one who provoked the Tower of Babel. What does it have to do with us? And you heard Fiametta say it was serious. It was a diplomatic dispute or something. In fact, that's all."

It could be heard that she really didn't take provoking the Tower of Babel very seriously, but Fiammetta still had a little objection to what she said.

"Don't make it sound so easy. If we really confront Kazdaele officials, we will be trained and punished when we go back. Do you want to listen to the endless nagging of those old men?"

"Being trained and punished? That's it?"

Lin Lu had a strange expression and didn't know what to say.

Co-author You previously had a diplomatic dispute and an international conflict. You said it as if it might trigger a war between the two countries, but this is the result?Is it as simple as just being trained and punished?

"I'm not scaremongering."

Fiammetta held her unique azure stone mask and looked at it carefully. She raised her head and rolled her eyes. Compared to Mostima, who was used to wearing a formulaic smile, her behavior was much more normal when work was not involved. A little more emotional too.

"The two of us are messengers from all nations, that is, diplomats sent by Lateran abroad. Conflicts with the official organizations of a certain country will naturally rise to the level of the country, but that also depends on which country it is. As far as I know As we know, Kazdaele should have no time to care about this now. They haven't even resolved their own internal power disputes, so how can they have the time to pursue it to the national level?"

"Makes sense."

Lin Lu nodded, thinking there was nothing wrong with her statement.

In a country where even the unified political power is in a state of division, and the civil war is in full swing, it is indeed impossible to vigorously pursue two diplomats from other countries - unless they really cause something big, they are just fighting against the subordinates of the Tower of Babel. A verbal dispute between the team would have far less impact.

"Do you have any more in-depth information about the regent and princess Theresia? I would like to know more, I think it might be useful."

"No, you don't know much about them and you dare to do that?"

Mostima was not very interested in this topic and was still holding his staff to study Topps' position silently. Fiametta had nothing to do, but was very interested in chatting.

She glanced at Lin Lu in surprise, thought for a moment and explained: "I do know some information, but not much. Don't expect to hear any secrets from me."

"The leader of the Tower of Babel, Princess Theresia, is Kazdaele's orthodox heir. She possesses the full power of the Demon King and is the current Demon King recognized by all Sakaz. She once led Kazdaele to defeat external invasions. Considered a war hero of Sarkaz, Regent Tresis is her brother by blood, also of royal blood, and the actual controller of most of Kazdaele’s army.”

"During Theresia's reign, the regent assisted her rule as a military leader. During that time, Kazdaele was relatively calm, but the two people had different ideas. The princess's acting style was more conservative and advocated gentleness. way to solve the problem, while Regent Teresis’s ideas were much more radical, and he advocated using struggle and battle to achieve the renaissance of Kazdaele.”

"The conflict of ideas between them became more serious as time went by, until it developed to an irreconcilable point. In the end, Regent Traces could not accept the weakness of the contemporary demon king, and directly planned to use force to replace Theresia's position, so that Kazdaele operated according to his will, and the civil war in Kazdaele broke out. Upon closer inspection, this war probably lasted for many years."

"Speaking of which, the reputation of the princess is much better than that of the regent. People who have met her once said that she is as warm as the sun. She must be a very gentle person. Otherwise, why? Will he be accused by the regent of being too weak?"

"No, not necessarily. I think the conflict between them should not be that simple, at least not as simple as the rumors."

Lin Lu listened to Fiametta's words, thought about it carefully, and did not agree with her statement.

"If the princess is really as weak as the outside world reports, how could she become a war hero in Sakaz?"

Chapter 50 The Pope’s Limited Edition Holy Bullet!

"It's just a rumor. It's not very reliable after all. If you really want to know more about it, you have to get involved with them."

In response to Lin Lu's rhetorical question, Fiammetta was noncommittal. She was born in Rutland and didn't care much about Kazdel's affairs, and she didn't have a good impression of Sakaz. These rumors were usually heard as stories. Either way, it doesn't matter.

"Oh, by the way, can you perform that again?"

The crimson feathers on the girl's head were trembling in the wind. She seemed to be suddenly interested. She was making big outlines with her hands, which was confusing.

"Which one?"

"That's it! The big head, the one spitting out ice!"

"You said that..."

After saying this, Lin Lu immediately understood what she was talking about.

One thing to say, regardless of the specific power, the momentum of Longxiang's prayer is indeed shocking enough. It is infinitely more gorgeous than those blue-light fireball-type spells, and it is natural that it will attract attention.

but……

"That's not a move that can be used casually."

With that said, Lin Lu pulled up the sleeves of her coat. Under the illumination of the magic starlight, the blood vessels on her arms showed an abnormal blue-black color.

"I'm not at the point where I can use it at will yet. This time I can only use it with the help of the pure source stone, which is very taxing on the body."

Moreover, the holy seal used as a spell-casting prop is still broken. I don’t know where to find the next piece...

"Is that so..."

Fiametta was a little disappointed. Her eyes passed over the blue and black blood vessels. She hesitated to speak. After a moment of silence, she asked: "Then... can I learn that kind of magic? Don't worry, I won't learn it in vain. You can Make conditions."

"It's not possible at this stage. It's not that I don't want to teach you. It's just that...spells require special conditions to learn. It's not like Topps' stance, which can be learned by studying with concentration."

Lin Lu shook her head and refused, extinguishing Fiammetta's fantasy.

He did not lie. Among all the prayers he mastered, there were indeed some that were special. The specialness did not refer to power, but to the way of learning - they could not be learned through normal learning and required certain skills. The prerequisite, Longxiang prayer is one of them.

That is the power of hunting dragons, devouring dragon hearts, and plundering the power from real dragons through dragon village rituals. If you want to learn, you must hunt real dragons to perform the ceremony. There is no shortcut.

The reason why he can use it is because he already has the corresponding abilities - those are the paths he has walked and the power he has mastered, but he is only limited by his current physical condition and cannot use them.

But Fiametta is different from Mostima. The prerequisite for them to learn is to perform a dragon village ritual. As far as he knows, there are no real dragons in this world.

There are dragon ladies like Wa Yifan who may have dragon blood, but you can't just capture people's hearts and hold a ceremony, right?

Putting aside the issue of whether it works or not, that approach is unacceptable.

And they did not use the holy seal required for prayer.

Holy Seal...huh?Holy mark?

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the halo on Mostima's head. Lin Lu suddenly had an idea.

Everyone knows that Lateran is a religious country, and they have faith and worship. Since Star Bear's amulet can be used as a holy seal, will there be something similar in the church of Lateran?

Thinking of this, Lin Lu suddenly became eager.

"Ahem, what... you two, I want to ask, do you have... the kind of amulets that are enshrined in churches?"

"what?"

Fiametta was stunned by this incomprehensible question, and it took her a long time to react.

"If I understand correctly, there are indeed similar items in the church, such as crosses and so on... Why are you looking for that thing?"

"As spell-casting materials, some of my spells are somewhat special. If you have such items, the effect will be better."

"Ah this."

This answer was unexpected by Fiametta. When could even the souvenirs in the church be used as magic materials?That thing has no use except as a souvenir, and it has nothing to do with Origin Stone skills.

This is really weird.

"If you have one, please show it to me. In exchange, I can teach you an interesting and useful magic."

Although they didn't get along for a long time, because of Mostima's relationship, everyone was considered acquaintances, so Lin Lu didn't tell any lies and directly made the conditions.

It can be seen from the action of Fiammetta playing with the stone shield that she is actually very curious about spells she has never seen before, but she is too embarrassed to say it out loud. If she has this in exchange, she will most likely be interested. of.

Sure enough, when she heard that there was a spell that could be learned from Li Boli, the girl nodded and agreed without much hesitation.

"Of course I do!"

As she said this, she turned to look at Mostima, who was holding the staff and thinking. The intense look in her eyes made Miss Angel wake up from her thoughts in an instant, and she shrank back with a vigilant look on her face.

"What are you going to do?"

"Hand over my Pope-branded limited-edition commemorative bullet!"

What is this thing that sounds very subtle just by the name...

Lin Lu's mouth twitched slightly, and she watched helplessly as Fiametta rushed forward and pressed Mostima under her. She groped around her body and found out from nowhere a silver-white bullet the size of a lighter. It seemed that It is also engraved with words and patterns, and there is a small opening at the end. It does not look like a live ammunition that can be fired, but more like some kind of handicraft.

"Take it, this is it, see if you can use it."

Reaching out to borrow the bullet thrown by Fiammetta, Lin Lu felt the power of faith condensed within it as soon as she took it. Compared with Star Bear's amulet, the power of faith contained in this bullet was purer and more restrained. , so that he was completely unable to perceive it from the outside.

There is no doubt that if it is used as a holy seal to pray, the effect will be stronger than an amulet, but...

Playing with the exquisite craft bullets, Lin Lu's eyes looked strange.

In the church of Lateran...why are bullets enshrined?

Is this something that should be in a church?

Also, why is there a "Pope co-branded" version of this thing?Does your Pope still accept advertising endorsements?

He thought for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask this question, and then heard Fiametta's pious explanation: "Because we believe that the rain of bullets can extinguish pain, and it is sacred!"
