Wayne is doing handstand push-ups at the moment because he has nothing to do.

In fact, he had already discovered that no one was guarding him, so it was not difficult for him to escape. After all, with his physical fitness, it would be completely impossible to catch him once he ran away.

But as he himself said, he would not run away secretly. After all, his family has been investigated clearly. As the saying goes, the monk can run away, but the temple cannot. This is the case.

"...It's been so long, and you still haven't remembered my name."

Wayne turned over and stood up straight. He didn't sweat much after exercising for so long. It turned out that his exercise level was too low.

"We've only known each other for two days, and we've only met a few times."

Melina walked in slowly and closed the door.

"What are you doing? I'm not a casual person!" Wayne suddenly covered his chest in horror and said with a frightened face.

"Bah, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Wayne like this, Melina blushed and shouted softly.

"Haha, just kidding. You look so worried." Wayne laughed and pulled a chair over and placed it next to Melina.

He himself sat on another chair, the same chair that had restrained him before.

Although Melina didn't say anything after being disturbed by Wayne, the sadness in her heart did dissipate a little.

"Tell me, why would someone do evil because of their own desires?"

Hearing Melina's question, Wayne was stunned. Why did they suddenly bring up this question? He had never thought about it before...

But he definitely couldn't answer like that. The nun in front of him must have wanted to hear his answer, so that's why she asked him that.

"I think that desire is something that cannot be eradicated. After all, desire is like a bush. Even if you trim it cleanly, it will grow again. If you want to completely eradicate it, you have to dig out its roots, but if you do that, the bush will completely dry up and die."

"What we can do is to keep the bushes trimmed to prevent them from growing bigger and more messy."

Listening to Wayne's explanation, Melina thought of the dark creature captured today. He should be the kind of evil person who ignored the bushes of his desires and allowed them to grow indiscriminately.

"What about you? Have you trimmed your bushes?" Melina suddenly asked Wayne.

"Well..." Wayne scratched his head and said shyly, "I think I trimmed it pretty well, and gave it a handsome shape."

"Pfft~" Hearing Wayne's funny answer, Melina couldn't help but laugh out loud, then she steadied her expression and looked at Wayne seriously.

Wayne suddenly felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like this. He had never been a serious person and was not used to being stared at so seriously.

"Sorry, we misunderstood you." Melina suddenly bowed 90 degrees, scaring Wayne.

Wayne reacted and hurriedly helped Melina up, and said at a loss: "What are you doing? I'm not angry. Uh...well, actually I'm still a little angry, but now I'm not angry anymore, so there's no need to apologize so seriously."

"No." Melina shook her head seriously. "You must be sincere when you admit your mistakes. Our actions are watched by the Lord, so we must always be strict with ourselves."

There are so many church believers in the world, and your Lord can't be watching every one of them, so don't take it so seriously. This sentence turned around in Wayne's mouth, but he didn't say it in the end.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Wayne had to change the subject and asked, "Why is it like this all of a sudden? Did something happen?"

"Hmm..." Although Melina felt that this matter could not be talked about casually, Wayne in front of her was not an ordinary person, so it would be okay to let him know.

Then Melina started explaining from the beginning until she got to the reason why she was feeling depressed.

"The Lord gave us a mission, but due to our incompetence, those dark creatures were completely fearless and harmed the people in the church. We didn't even discover it until now."

"But before that, casualties had already occurred. It was our incompetence that prevented us from dealing with those dark creatures before casualties occurred. And in places we don't know about, perhaps there are even more people being persecuted."

Melina explained in a muffled voice that what she saw this afternoon was a little too much for her to bear.

"Let the past be the past. If you always regret the past, how can you solve the future?"

"Instead of being depressed about past mistakes, it is better to stick to our original intentions and solve future threats!"

Wayne suddenly said in a loud voice, and Melina was stunned. Yes, she shouldn't indulge in the past, the real threat was about to come, and she shouldn't be sad about things that had passed.

"You're right!" Melina suddenly stood up, the gloom in her eyes gone, "The matter with the Patriarch should be over. In order to deal with the future, I shouldn't dwell on the past and feel sad about it."

"Yes, that's right." Looking at Melina who had recovered, Wayne's eyes showed a smile. He was worthy of being the one who could give counselors first-rate advice!

"Let's go together."

Ok?

Looking at Melina who invited him, Wayne was a little confused: "Well, I'm still in custody and can't go out."

"It's okay. I'll vouch for you. Let's go."

Having said that, Melina didn't wait for Wayne to say anything. She pulled up his sleeve and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Wayne had no choice but to be taken away from the detention room.

At the same time, Patriarch Danny and a group of male bishops, who had finished the torture, walked out of the room, and everyone looked unhappy.

"What happened?"

The female bishops waiting outside the door saw Patriarch Danny's gloomy face and walked forward worriedly and asked.

"Phew~ Things are much more serious than we imagined." Patriarch Danny sighed and responded with a heavy heart.

Through the dark creature named Iler, they learned a lot of secrets. Under the burning of Arthur's white flames, Iler quickly revealed all the information.

Including his identity as a vampire, and the fact that there is a secret vampire organization that is trying to gather information about their church.

Although they didn't know what the vampire organization was trying to do by gathering information about their church, it was definitely not a good thing.

After all, no matter how you look at it, vampires and the church are opposing entities, whether in the Middle Ages or now.

"Melina?"

After looking around, Patriarch Danny suddenly discovered that Melina, who was supposed to be with the female bishops, was not there.

"Patriarch, Melina has gone to look for the boy named Wayne."

"Um... Arthur, please go and ask Melina to come over to that room. We need to discuss something."

"Yes!"

After a while, in the secret room.

Looking at the three people in front of him, Patriarch Danny hadn't said anything yet, but Melina suddenly spoke.

"Patriarch, I can vouch for Wayne. He is not the kind of evil person who indulges in his desires, so I think there is no need to imprison him any longer."

"Well, since you vouched for him, he's free."

Patriarch Danny didn't say much. In fact, he had been thinking about releasing Wayne because he had already reviewed the results of the investigation.

There is indeed nothing wrong with Wayne, as his growth trajectory is recorded, but we cannot be completely reassured, after all, Wayne can indeed be harmed by sacred objects.

But as long as Wayne doesn't hurt anyone, doesn't use his power to indulge his desires, and can stick to his own morals while having power, then it's not a bad idea to let him go free.

Chapter 250 Declaration of War

vampire!

This word spread quickly in the small room like a plague, making everyone feel breathless.

Seeing that panic was about to emerge, Patriarch Danny spoke hurriedly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Don't be afraid, this is the Lord's test for us!"

"Vampires are the cancer lurking in this country, and our existence is to eliminate those cancers."

The powerful words were like a shot of reassurance, gradually relaxing everyone's expressions.

"Besides, we are not powerless to fight back. We have two warriors of the Lord here, and we also have the holy weapon that can restrain the dark creatures!"

"How can evil run rampant in broad daylight? They will surely fear the light and then perish in it."

The seeds of panic had just sprouted when they were cut off by the Patriarch.

Everyone put aside their panic and turned to pray quietly to the Lord. Yes, light will surely defeat darkness. This has been an eternal truth since ancient times. Moreover, they are the ones blessed by the Lord.

When Arthur heard the Patriarch's words, he couldn't help but feel a strong fighting spirit rising in his heart, and he wanted to destroy the so-called vampire organization right away, but without the Patriarch's order, he would not be so arrogant as to act alone.

Seeing that everyone's panic was swept away by his words, Patriarch Danny began to think about what to do next and how to eradicate those dark creatures in a short period of time.

After a while, Patriarch Danny gave up. After all, it was still the gap in intelligence. Although they knew about a vampire organization, they knew nothing about the rest.

It is unknown how many people there are in that vampire organization, how much support they have behind them, and even how far it has spread.

"It seems that we must seek help from the country."

The Patriarch said in a deep voice that although their religion has never been in harmony with the top leaders of the country, in the face of such major issues, the Patriarch still believes that the country can see clearly.

The only temptation of vampires is that they can become younger or even immortal, but this inferior immortality is not immortality at all.

Although they are called immortal, vampires can be killed. Moreover, those dark creatures cannot stand the light and are afraid of the sacred power of the church.

Moreover, those who believe in the Lord can also gain the qualification to regain their youth, and he is the best example.

"You guys go ahead and try to collect information on vampires. I'm going to go talk to the Prime Minister in person."

"Now that we have learned the true identity of the dark creatures, we can't just turn a blind eye. Let's investigate the missing people in the surrounding area. We must find those lurking dark creatures before the number of victims increases!"

After saying this, Patriarch Danny stood up and assigned tasks to everyone present.

Although he was going to meet the Prime Minister, he certainly couldn't go alone. His current young appearance was not very convincing, and he had to bring other senior officials to testify for him.

A portion of the high-ranking clergy must also be assigned to contact church branches in other regions and bring them the holy vessels made by Melina.

This is all just in case. After all, their country is known as the home of vampires, and it is hard to say that vampires are lurking only in the capital.

There might be vampires in some areas that they cannot explore.

The remaining members will naturally investigate the missing people in their area. Perhaps these people were imprisoned by vampires and used as blood bags!

After the allocation was completed, a group of senior executives left the room one after another. Although the situation was urgent, it was already late at night and they still needed to rest.

"You can go home now. I'm sorry for keeping you imprisoned here for two days."

After leaving the room, Melina suddenly said to Wayne who followed out, although he was not a member of the church, he was also eavesdropping.

"No, since this country has come to this, I have to do my part. After all, I am also a citizen of this country!"

"Besides, there's a saying, right? With great power comes great responsibility!"

Wayne looked at Melina beside him and said with a serious expression and a firm tone.

"Good!" Arthur, who came out with him, suddenly shouted, "You are worthy of being someone I recognize! Based on your attitude, I agree that you can act together as our companion!"

"Really? That's great!" Wayne looked at Arthur somewhat moved, and the two looked at each other with mutual sympathy, their eyes full of recognition and emotion.

Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming strange, Melina hurriedly inserted herself between the two of them, interrupting their gaze at each other!

"Okay, okay, I know your determination. You can stay in the church for the time being. But what about your studies?"

After listening to Melina's question, Wayne remembered that he seemed to have not been to school for two days.

"It's okay. Just continue to take leave. It won't be too late to continue your classes after this is over."

"You..." After hearing this answer, Melina opened her mouth but didn't say much. After all, more strength is always good.

Since it was confirmed that Wayne would stay and help, they would naturally be companions.

In order to act together as quickly as possible, Wayne has decided to stay in the church for the time being. As for where to rest, Arthur can help.

After all, Melina is a woman, so it would definitely be inconvenient to arrange it.

After that, the three of them chatted for a while and then parted ways. The night passed extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was dawn.

The next day, the Presidential Palace in Bucharest.

"What? The archpastor of the Orthodox Church wants to see me?" President Klaus said in surprise. This was beyond his expectations.

You have to know that they have always been at odds with the church. Although they love each other on the surface, they have long been enemies in private.

not to mention……

"Mr. President, do you need to agree to the Patriarch of the Orthodox Church?" the deputy next to him reminded.

"This..." Klaus pondered. Although he didn't know why the Orthodox Church Patriarch wanted to see him, he was sure that this was not a trivial matter.

Since it is not a trivial matter, it requires...

"Go contact Mr. Benyamin. We need his opinion on this matter." Klaus said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

As the president of a country, it was obviously wrong for Klaus to call another person "Your Excellency", but his deputy thought there was nothing wrong with it, after all, that gentleman's status was above all of them.

And to be honest, he and the president are of equal blood, but their positions make them different in status.
