Today's princess is still cute

With this kind of influence, the Seventh Princess's already inferior and fragile character will definitely become even more negative, and it will be easy for her to carry out subsequent plans.

What Hathaway never expected was that she, as one of the three most critical points in the plan, was being pinned down on the ground mixed with mud and fallen snow, and beaten so hard that several of her teeth fell out.

"I originally wanted to keep you alive so that I could use you as my own, but I didn't expect you to be so bold."

Ursus' voice was terribly low, and his hand had penetrated the flesh on Hathaway's back and directly grabbed the spine of the demon.

Hathaway was speechless, and she didn't even have the thought of using her own power.

Because Ursus's last attack just now clearly used the power of the law.

Arrogance disregards everything and reverses the rules.

Urusus was determined to use the remaining power of the law to kill her. It seemed that he was really angry to the extreme.

Just when Urusus was about to devour Hathaway, his hand suddenly froze.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the Kenovi Theater, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

Three auras rising into the sky appeared there at the same time.

The first is the law of greed.

The second one is his master, Cardinson.

The third one is Joe Kenneth?!

Chapter 170 Black Star Sea Flower

The moment Cardinson drew his sword, the fragment of the law of greed hidden in the storage ring suddenly caught fire.

Sensing the change, Cardinson had to take it out and watched the white round bead transform into a white fireball, burning quietly.

He didn't feel the fireball was hot when he held it in his hand, but the flames became more and more powerful, and a strange feeling came over him.

It seemed as if something was connected to him, and near him, there were two similar auras echoing with it.

Cardinson was very familiar with the aura of one of them, it was Ursus's.

The other one is actually the sacred power of their church?

He seemed to have felt this kind of aura in Bach Ellis, but upon closer inspection, it was very different from Bach's.

Bach's divine power is inclusive and gentle, and this breath is more like a sword drawn from its sheath, which can both protect the world and kill it.

Moreover, as the Son of God, Cardinson could feel that the divine power was as pure as his own.

If you are the first ray of dawn, then the other person is the brightest light at noon.

Cardinson looked around silently, and when he turned his head, he made sure to turn his shoulders as well, in case of any sudden changes.

This is the second time I've encountered this situation.

The last time was because of Tina’s matter. The law of greed expanded its domain and pulled him into a space and time between reality and fantasy.

He was still on the road leading out of the performance hall of the Kenovi Theater. Going forward was a forked corridor. If he remembered correctly, the left one led to the outside, and the right one led to the inside of the theater.

As for the two auras, Urusos is on the left and the divine power is on the right.

Cardinson didn't hesitate at all. After making his decision, he immediately walked to the left.

He is not the kind of person who can be influenced by curiosity. From the time he traveled through time until now, all his plans have been arranged based on the premise of survival. He will only fight for his life when he has no other choice. Except for the matter of the wedding robbery, it can be said that he has almost no gambling nature.

The best thing now is to break through this space, then go out and meet Ursus, and then turn around together to rescue Tina.

Based on the many horror games Cardinson played in his previous life, he knew a trick: when strange things happened, the most taboo thing was to go back.

Because you have already stepped through that "door", the owner of the "house" will not let you leave the game easily before you find the key.

Cardinson held the fragment of the Law of Greed in his left hand and the Frostfire in his right hand, and walked slowly along the center of the corridor. The repaired Son of God suit had also been equipped, and the Source Energy Stone began to enter into state, converting the absorbed energy into real-time combat power as much as possible.

His grey-green eyes gradually turned golden. That was the change that occurred after he was promoted to Templar Knight and the divine power in his body began to boil.

Every time he encountered such an emergency, Cardinson missed the [Dusk Song] suit he once owned.

Although it is not as good in quality and high in panel as [Son of God's Favor], the former has a set effect called [Clouds Covering the View], that is, when you cannot detect the enemy within your perception, the first sneak attack launched by any target on you will fail, and there is a 35% chance of launching a counterattack.

The Shadow Knight is fragile and does not have as many means of survival as the Mage and the Priest. What he fears is the high-burst profession, which led to Cardinson once cursing those sunny boys who played assassins on the forum. Who can stand someone suddenly jumping out of the shadows and stabbing you?

One minute.

Two minutes.

ten minutes.

It wasn't until the eleventh minute that Cardinson finally stopped.

No matter how slowly he walked, there was no way he couldn't walk through the corridor in ten minutes.

It wasn't a hallucination, but the corridor was constantly extending. Cardinson could clearly remember what the oil painting on the wall looked like, but every minute, the painting he saw had a new look.

The content of the oil painting gradually became unclear.

For example, in the place where Cardinson is standing now, the oil paintings on his left and right sides are, one of which is a woman struggling in the flames, tied with black chains, and the other is a child with all his facial features dug out, lying in the palm of a skeleton.

Same horror, same distortion.

Even if the Kenovi Theater had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to hang such a painting in the corridor.

Cardinson recalled carefully that the oil painting changed like this after the seventh one, eight, nine, ten, and eleven. If his guess was correct, this corridor would undergo new changes after the fourteenth oil painting.

Do you want to continue going down?

Cardinson looked down at the fragments of the Law of Greed. The white fireball had already shown signs of agitation. There was no wind in the corridor, but the flames extended forward, as if something was waiting for him there.

"Why on earth is it that I am always the one who encounters this kind of thing?"

Cardinson let out a long sigh and continued to move forward helplessly.

Urusos' aura was already very strong, and the Law of Pride was already resonating with the Law of Greed in his hands.

When he reached the fourteenth painting, the corridor underwent new changes as Cardinson had expected.

The painting on the left turned into a smiling one-horned devil, and the painting on the right turned into a crying two-horned devil. The only thing missing was a banner that read "Welcome to Hell."

And right in front of us, a pot of star sea flowers appeared.

Unlike the common colors, the star sea flower is black, and the flowerpot is made of the bones of some unknown creature. The soil is a deep dark red, as if it had drunk enough blood.

The breath of Ursus is emanating from this pot of flowers.

At this time, Cardinson finally discovered something wrong. This "Urusos" was not the Urusos he knew. If he had to say it, it was more like a piece of flesh torn from Urusos, buried in the soil to nourish the growth of this pot of flowers.

In the Blue Empire, the Star Sea Flower is a symbol of God.

To be honest, Cardinson didn't even dare to turn his head. His neck was almost stiff, for fear that if he turned around, he would see something indescribable standing there looking at him.

That's how it works in horror movies.

The flames on the fragments of the Law of Greed have calmed down, and Cardinson has a hunch that as long as he throws this fireball onto the pot of star sea flowers, the truth here will be revealed to him.

Chapter 171 Bach’s betrayal?

When the three auras rose into the sky in the Kenovi Theater, only two people in the entire imperial capital noticed them and identified the source of each aura without any mistake.

The Urusos outside the Grand Theatre are one.

Bach Ellis in the Vatican is one.

They are the only two people in the imperial capital who have had interactions with the Law of Greed, Cardinson, and the previous Son of God.

Although Pope St. Augustine seemed to meet the requirements, he did not enter the room when the incident with Tina happened, which means that he had no direct intersection with the law of greed. As for Rong Ke and Winnie who entered the house, they were not born when the previous Son of God passed away.

This seems to be a hidden copy. The key to opening it is to be able to sense three auras at the same time. Only in this way can it be opened.

In the Earth of Cardinson's previous life, there was a place called Nibelungen in Norse mythology. It was known as the Land of Mist and also the Land of the Dead. There were only two possibilities to enter there: one was to be the chosen person, and the other was to be the dead.

At this moment, the Kenovi Theater has become a place similar to the Nibelung.

Welcoming the arrival of the dead, and also waiting for the intrusion of the living.

Not far from the Vatican priests' quarters, there is a small bungalow that looks unremarkable. Even inside, it is as plain and simple as the exterior.

Cardinal Bach, who had just finished writing the prayer for the New Year's ceremony, rubbed his eyebrows and was about to fall asleep according to his unshakable schedule.

He didn't even want to light a candle, let alone a crystal chandelier. He relied entirely on his night vision to work.

If we were to ask who in the Vatican lived most like an ascetic, it would undoubtedly be Bach.

Persisting for a year or ten years can be considered a show, but what about persisting for a hundred years?

Like old Pine, Bach was also an extremely traditional virtue-follower, firmly believing that only after he had done well himself could he advise his followers on what to do.

Just as he was about to fall asleep with his clothes on, a sudden throbbing in his heart startled Bach into jumping out of bed.

As one of the strongest beings closest to the demigod level, this level can be said to be a warning of impending disaster.

Suddenly, his eyes looked in a certain direction in the imperial capital.

After Bach Ellis confirmed where the three auras came from, he fell into silence. After a long time, a look of relief appeared on his face.

One hundred years.

One hundred and three years.

Finally, I have a reason to convince myself to face the fact.

Bach calmly got out of bed, changed into a white robe with gold edges that he would only wear during major ceremonies, combed his hair meticulously, and after checking in front of the mirror that there was nothing wrong with his appearance, he pushed open the door and did not go to the Kenovi Theater where the aura was coming from, but walked towards the deepest part of the Vatican.

There lies one of the Vatican’s greatest secrets—the Holy Mountain.

In the Blue Empire, the Holy Mountain of the Vatican is generally used to refer to the tombs of deceased clergymen. Each diocese has four or five holy mountains.

Even Cardinson didn't know that the holy mountain where God first descended to mankind in the legend actually existed and was located in the Vatican.

This is a secret passed down orally by every Pope of the Vatican.

Many people have entered the Holy Mountain, but their memories were wiped out the moment they came out.

Because it is the burial place of all the dead popes and saints in the Vatican over the past thousand years. Even if there are no corpses, they will be equipped with corresponding clothes and armor.

This is a rule that has been passed down since the founding of the Holy See. Even the first Pope's coffin was buried here.

Bach may be the only person in the world, besides the Pope, who knows the existence of the Holy Mountain.

That's because when Joe Kenneth's body was buried a hundred years ago, he, as the only disciple of the Son of God, was one of the coffin bearers.

There were eight other people besides him, including the Pope at the time, but except for him and the Pope, no one else had any memory of entering the Holy Mountain.

Bach didn't have this memory when he first left, as he was completely immersed in the grief of his teacher's departure. But after a few days, the memory miraculously reappeared in his mind.

He cautiously questioned his companions, but found that no one remembered the incident. They only remembered that the body of the Son of God seemed to be buried somewhere.

Bach even suspected that it was a dream caused by emotional fluctuations.

As a result, based on his own route and time of action, he finally discovered that entering the holy mountain did happen.

Many things happened after that, and until today, Bach has never entered the Holy Mountain again.

If things had developed normally, perhaps only when St. Augustine passed away could he enter that magnificent and magical space again.

But the aura that appeared tonight only told him one thing—

Can't wait.

Bach's figure moved forward steadily in the night. As a third-level earth angel, if he didn't want to be discovered, there was no reason for the patrolling knights to discover him.

Unless all the Night Watch Knights are at César's level.

He walked all the way to a big tree deep in the Vatican and stopped not far from a middle-aged man.

He was a very ordinary-looking man, with an appearance that would be hard to find in a crowd.

Bach knew, however, that the tree was the incarnation of the Sword of Arbitration, one of the three great artifacts of the Holy See, and that the man was one of the five Morning Star Knights, the "Judge of the Sky", Chloraris Zane.

"You are visiting me so late at night. What can I do for you, Sir Ellis?"

Realizing that someone had entered his cordon, Chloraris looked away from the book and looked at the First Cardinal coldly.

This is a forbidden area of the Vatican. Except for His Holiness the Pope and him as the guardian of the Excalibur, no one can get close to the tree behind him.

Bach made a proper priestly salute and responded expressionlessly: "Excuse me."

"I'm sorry, Lord Ellis, this road is closed to traffic. How about you change direction?" Cloralis put away the book, stood up and looked at Bach sternly.
