However, by a coincidence of fate, they became a pair of happy enemies. After experiencing life and death together, they finally let go of their guard and became each other's best friends.

Before inheriting the title of Saint, she walked around the land of Rome for three years, visited many people, went to many places, and experienced many things... It is difficult to imagine that this saint was an undercover agent in the Esoteric Cult when he was young. In the past four months, she had also concealed her identity and followed adventurers into ancient ruins to kill an ancient race with demigod blood. She had left her own rumors all over Rome. Those days when she was a knight in bright clothes and angry horses. The most precious memory of her life.

But what she misses most is Elaine who accompanied her through that time.

I thought that the two of them could live like this forever until the day of separation came.

She needs to inherit the title of saint, but Elaine is found by her family and forced to inherit the family business.

The two were separated for nearly half a year.

When they met again, Elaine was already married.

At first, she was also happy for her good friend. Although her life gradually became monotonous, her cultivation improved day by day. Her past life experiences made her more and more aware of her path to seek truth.

Just when she was at the critical stage of breaking through to canonization, she received a letter from Elaine. The content was not much, except to say goodbye.

It was this letter that made her still regret it.

"I often wonder, if I had not chosen to stay here and continue to seek truth, but to go find her, even if it took ten or eight years, she would not have died."

"If I had been there for her, maybe it wouldn't have gotten so bad and we could have gone further away, to a safer place."

"But I didn't go. I wasn't by her side when she needed me the most."

"Ignorance of her situation is no excuse. I just lost to the greed in my heart."

"At that time, I wanted to ask for sainthood, but I forgot to measure gains and losses."

“It’s like a scale, when you take away one end of it, the other end falls.”

"I thought I chose the best outcome, but I still can't let go."

She talked to herself, immersed in past memories and self-trial.

Every line is full of regret, every word is an atonement.

At the end of the day, all the words turned into self-deprecating smiles.

Unable to conceal the sadness.

She didn't cry, and she no longer shed tears.

The saint raised his cheek and turned his head with a very faint smile.

Perhaps this was the first time Bai Yu saw her smiling, and he always felt that there was too much and too much depth in this smile.

"I envy you."

"I can't let you go either."

"Looking at you is like looking at my past self, hoping that you can do what I dream of."

"But I will also be worried... If you fail, it means that my regret is meaningless; if you succeed, it means that I really did something wrong."

"People are always so complicated."

"I want to do something for you, but I want to persuade you to give up early."

She gently touched the crooked cross and whispered: "This is all I think. I have told everything, really told everything... I haven't told anyone for a long time, no, I have never told anyone else. So many words, except Elaine.”

Bai Yu looked at this desolate figure and asked, "Will you feel relaxed now?"

"will not."

The Libra Saint's tone was resounding.

"Because what I'm telling you is not a secret, but I'm opening up my own wounds."

Suddenly there was a heavy rain in the sanctuary. There was no thunder or black clouds, only white mist and drizzle.

"If just talking can soothe the pain, then my guilt would be so cheap."

The continuous drizzle wet her hair and clothes. The saint slowly turned around and faced the young man, her eyes like a deep pool of silence.

"After listening to this, do you have anything else to say?"

Baiyu does have several questions.

"How did you know that Elysee was Elaine's daughter?"

"After her identity is exposed, I will naturally have a way to find out."

"Why do you want to catch Elysee yourself?"

"If I don't go, someone else will go. In fact, there was another saint who went there."

"Are you willing to help us save Elise? As long as we can be canonized, our chances of winning will be great."

Bai Yu didn't finish speaking completely.

"I am a saint of the Holy Church and cannot take action against the emperor..." Saint Libra shook her head and objected: "If I could, I would have taken action long ago, why wait until now."

This answer is not surprising at all.

"I see, I almost understand it."

Bai Yu's tone gradually became lighter, and his eyes became more serious.

"I actually don't completely believe what you just said. It must be tainted with some Spring and Autumn writing skills."

"My personal guess is that what Elaine sent you was not just a farewell letter, but more likely a request for help."

"And you ignored it, or you didn't take it to heart, or you missed it in seclusion for the sake of canonization."

"You missed the opportunity to save her, instead of her insisting on cutting off contact."

"That's what you really regret."

Bai Yu kept talking.

"besides--"

"You actually don't care about Elysee very much. Even though she is Elaine's daughter, to you, she is just Elaine's shadow."

"I guess that when you went to see Elise, you might have some illusions about whether Elaine was still alive."

"But after meeting her, you got an accurate answer, and even the slightest hope was completely shattered."

"I think you were ready to do something from that point on."

"Usually, after the cause of death is investigated, revenge is the order of the day."

"But you alone are not enough to take revenge, and other saints will also not assassinate the emperor."

"People who share the same hatred can do it. It is precisely in me that you see the potential to be canonized."

"You have repeatedly pointed out to me, and frankly said that you hope that I will stay and be canonized, not because you think I will be more confident in saving Elysee after being canonized, but because you think that after being canonized, I will have a chance to kill the old emperor of Rome. ”

"But why do I have to kill him?"

"Unless something happens to Elysee."

"Two conclusions can be drawn from this."

"1. If I accept your proposal, then there is a high probability that Elise will die within this six months."

"Two, you do know many secrets about the royal family, including the emperor's weaknesses, the cause of Elaine's death, or the dangers Elysee faces."

Speaking of this, Bai Yu became more and more determined.

"Perhaps your regrets and guilt are all true..."

"But equally, these are also obstacles that prevent you from pursuing the path further."

"If you don't wipe out this hatred, it will be difficult for you to go further."

He slowed down his speech and gave his conclusions one sentence at a time.

"Your Excellency Saint Libra, you are an extremely determined seeker of truth and will not be easily swayed by personal emotions."

"What you calculate is personal gains and losses, not emotional resonance."

"What you are hesitating about is whether to let me leave now and give it a try; or whether to keep me and wait for me to be canonized before proceeding with the plan to kill Laoden."

"The purpose of using emotion and reasoning is nothing more than to establish emotional resonance with me and establish the same position, so as to make me believe that you really care about the safety of Elysee... But there is obviously not a single word in your story. Never mentioned her!"

"Whenever I have some hesitation, I may be convinced by your story and naively think that you are sincerely helping me."

"But the person you want to help is not me, let alone Elysee, but yourself."

The drizzle suddenly stopped, and the heavy rain hung in the air, and thunderous thunder echoed in the sky of Holy Cross Hell.

The saint's eyes were as silent as ever, like a stone statue staring silently at the world.

After becoming a saint, perhaps the cold divinity has already overwhelmed the impulsive human nature.

Then, she smiled again.

Without any emotion.

"It seems that even after saying so much, I can't keep you."

"Yes," Bai Yu smiled back: "Now you can only let me go."

Chapter 742: Just a mortal

On the road to Rome, a car drove silently.

"So..." Jeanna asked a puzzling question: "She really just let you go."

"I just repeated our previous conversation." Bai Yu glanced at the three beautiful faces in the rearview mirror: "What makes you so suspicious of such a clear answer, is it reading comprehension?"

Jeanne didn't speak, but Frederica spoke first.

"We just can't understand Feng Sheng's way of thinking. She seems to feel guilty about the past, but she is too..."

"reason?"

"It's cold." Angelica hugged her knees and asked, "Is there really someone who can distinguish rationality and sensibility so clearly?"

"I don't know, but people are different." Bai Yu held the steering wheel, opened the window, and let the wind pass through the car. His voice rose and fell with the wind: "You shouldn't underestimate anyone. To be able to achieve their current status as saints, they must have experienced many things that ordinary people cannot imagine. It is impossible to cross that threshold just by relying on talent and talent... It is not so much that she is too cold, but rather, She treats everyone the same, including herself.”

"Then will you become like this?" Frederica asked in a low voice, her eyes were sad: "I, I don't want you to become like her."

"No." Bai Yu was very sure, and her tone was quite relaxed: "The paths to sainthood will also be different. Her path of seeking the truth is too extreme. Perhaps this is also a historical feature of this era. Most religions are related to A seeker of truth always likes one thing.”

He proudly said: "I am different. As a modern person, my moral bottom line is quite flexible."

"That's it, let a hungry guy like him become a monk and not get sick." Jeanna held a bag of snacks in her hand, picked up potato chips with her fingers and stuffed them into her mouth.

"Eat what you eat, don't take the opportunity to throw dirty water on me."

Bai Yu refused to admit that we have always been careless.

Even if she is lecherous, she is still much higher class than Zhen Zhibing.

Do I have to tell you that my childhood idol is Chu Liuxiang?

Bai Yu started to quarrel with Jeanne.

Angelica just giggled as she listened, while Fleur became more and more unhappy as she listened. She felt that the atmosphere between the two was too good, so she interrupted: "Speaking of which, don't you check the sacred objects? "

"Already checked."

Baiyu had already asked the immortal for guidance, and he replied, 'No problem, it's genuine'.

To make sure nothing went wrong, he asked again, 'What if you make a mistake?

It would be fine if this was wrong. It would be super doubled. Anyway, with the system's credit endorsement, Bai Yu doesn't have to worry about it running away on the spot.

I just don’t know where Michael got so many hands that could be used to chop them into specimens.

"Is this holy object really so magical? It can send us to the future?" Angelica poked the incubator with her finger. It was quite exciting when she stole it before, but she didn't feel anything after getting it. She originally He is not a devout believer.

Frederica immediately started thinking: "Michael is the archangel. He deliberately reserved such a hand. He must have a purpose."

"Maybe it was just a simple slash?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Bai Yu's eyes subconsciously left the curb in front, but glanced at the incubator, sighing: "Five hundred years later, for such a sacred object, an honorary saint was made, and hundreds of thousands of people were attracted. People’s on-site pilgrimage… ended up being sent away so casually.”

"Yeah..." Angelica echoed. She felt like she went to a museum to steal a national treasure, but the other party just gave him a copy of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" without saying a word... It was obviously a very valuable item, but it was obtained. It takes no effort at all. There is a way of trying to move a bucket with all your strength, only to find that it is empty when you lift it.

After Jeanne finished eating the snacks in her hand, she opened another bottle of Coke, took a sip to wash away the salty taste in her mouth, and then said slowly: "The holy object is equivalent to the sponsorship fee she gave me. I guess the other party must We have prepared temporary fakes, otherwise stealing would not be so easy."
