I, the god, recruit witches to make money

It is the strange weapon that was once in Red Beard's hands.

A dagger can protect its wearer from the torrents of fate and avoid all divination.

The Life-Stealing Dagger, I gave it a very appropriate name."

"what do you want?"

Jeanne asked bluntly.

Since the other party is willing to meet her, he must have something in mind.

Hojo Shuugo smiled and said, "I just want to know, what do you want to do with this?"

Joan of Arc hesitated slightly, but still chose not to hide it. She never thought that her dream was something difficult to talk about.

“I intend to unite the faith of mortals, create a true God, and establish the Garden of Eden through the power of God.

There, there are no monsters, no evil spirits, no goblins or weird things, and people can live safely and happily. "

Hojo Shugo didn't show any surprise on his face, he just frowned and asked, "Can you guarantee that such a God can be controlled?"

"There is no need for control. God is closely connected to the Garden of Eden. He will protect the humans living in it from damage from the outside world."

Jeanne answered his question, "Don't you think this is the best way to save the world?"

“Will the world really end?”

This was the question that puzzled Hojo Shugo the most. He didn't even know how those high-level officials determined that mankind would face the destruction of the fifth civilization and insisted on pushing forward those defense plans.

He wanted to find out the reason so as to change his strategy.

"The God of the Beginning will awaken from the belly of the inner world, and then He will destroy everything in this world, and no one can stop Him."

Joan of Arc said softly, "The only thing humans can do is to escape from this world in time before Taichu wakes up."

"Taichu?" Hojo Shuugo frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows and asked, "Is this his pseudonym?"

Jeanne nodded and said, "That's right. Even if he hasn't woken up, his real name is not something that ordinary people can say."

Hojo Shuugo stroked his chin and said, "In that case, the high priest held such a ceremony in order to increase his combat power."

"He will fail."

Jeanne said with certainty: "You too, the only thing we can do is escape from this world."

A hint of doubt flashed in Hojo Shuugo's eyes, and he asked, "Why are you so sure?"

"Because the same thing has happened countless times in different worlds."

Joan of Arc uttered this desperate fact with a heavy expression on her face, "I am not the Joan of Arc of this world. Before arriving in this world, I have tried twenty-three times to gather all the power of mankind.

Even with all their wisdom, humans are still unable to resist the destruction of Taichu.

His birth cannot be aborted, and His awakening cannot be brought forward, because He has not yet arrived in this universe.

Taichu is the only existence in the parallel universe.

When He descends, the universe will usher in the end. "

"?!" Hojo Shugo suddenly began to doubt whether this woman had some kind of delusion or was deceived and brainwashed to say such crazy things.

Jeanne said calmly, "You don't believe me?"

Hojo Shuugo smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, it's too horrifying. If it's as you said, how did you avoid the destruction of Taichu?"

"Initially we wanted to use time and space magic to go back to the past and prevent Taichu from awakening, but it ended up jumping to a parallel universe, and I merged with the me in this universe."

Jeanne showed a trace of sadness on her face. "All the companions who traveled with me disappeared in the jump parallel universe. I am the only one who survived."

"Really."

Hojo Shugo could understand very well the feeling of loneliness when all his companions had died and he was left alone.

He rubbed his temple with his hand.

He didn't expect to hear such explosive news, but its truth or not still needs to be confirmed.

Hojo Shugo probed, "Do you know the Shiraishi priest of Nohara Shrine?"

"Isn't the chief priest of that shrine Gao Yanagi Jing?"

Jeanne asked back, "I have some impression of her. She is a very strong woman, but she still lacks strength."

"Oh, maybe I remembered it wrong."

Hojo Shugo slapped his forehead and fell into thought.

Gao Liujing is the former god master.

Assuming that what the other party said is true, it means that Lord Bai Shi does not exist in those parallel universes, but is a variable in this universe.

Otherwise, with that powerful being, if he really existed, Joan of Arc would definitely know his name.

Among the people Hojo Shugo met, Shiraishi was the most terrifying. He did not stay in the secret realm and could easily resolve the curse of the eighth realm.

He dared to say that the other party was the best in the eighth realm.

Apart from the possibility of variables, it is also possible that Joan of Arc has gone crazy.

Not all crazy people can be identified as crazy at first glance. Some crazy people look no different from normal people on the outside, but their inner thoughts are completely distorted.

Or maybe someone deliberately set up such a conspiracy...

Hojo Shugo went through many thoughts in his mind, and finally decided to proceed according to his own ideas.

"I can give you the life-stealing dagger, but I need to supervise the whole process. In addition, you have to allow me to spread my ideas in France."

"can."

Joan of Arc nodded in agreement. She only considered the survival of mankind. As for the rules of the supernatural world?

The people are gone, what's the point of talking about bullshit rules?

If there was one lesson she learned from her constant failures, it was that if she wanted to get things done, she had to kick out the old stuff.

They can't help, but they can definitely make things worse.

The position of Captain Jeanne d'Arc was not appointed by the top brass of the Knights Templar secret realm, but was the result of directly closing the entrance to the secret realm and sending away all those old antiques.

"Then I wish us happy cooperation."

Hojo Shugo stretched out his hand, his face solemn and without any joy of having succeeded.

From the recent series of abnormal behaviors of the Paladins, he vaguely guessed that the other party might be able to break free from the constraints of the secret realm, but he was still not sure, and now he was accepted so readily.

This made him certain of his guess and gave him more trust in Joan of Arc's words.

But he did not change his original plan. It was not in line with his character to put everything on one person. He had to make multiple preparations for everything to avoid accidents.

Shiraishi, the priest of Nohara Shrine, is the ultimate resort. If you can avoid relying on him, let them solve it themselves.

……

The autumn breeze is refreshing.

Nohara Shrine is holding a celebration banquet, and the venue is not in the restaurant, but in the spacious courtyard.

The skewers of meat sizzled on the grill, and the tempting aroma made Caesar squat beside the grill, staring at it without moving his mouth.

Licking your lips from time to time is a subtle way of expressing that you want to try something.

Guilongyuan Meiya grabbed a handful of skewers and took big bites. Her mouth was full of oil. While chewing, she shouted, "It's delicious!"

The wound on her abdomen had been healed by Shiraishi, allowing her to sway freely without worrying about the pain.

"Don't talk when you have something in your mouth."

Kaminagi Rin gave her a lecture, and then seeing that Caesar was envious, she placed the plate of steak on the ground and said, "What are you looking at? Just eat your Kobe steak."

Caesar glanced at him with disdain, pushed him away with his paw, and continued to stare at the barbecue in Jun Komori's hand, hoping that he would be kind enough to show some mercy.

In its simple mind, the two-legged beast with wine-red eyes is the most gentle. As long as it persists, it will reap rewards.

Jun Komori felt a little uncomfortable with it, so he said softly, "Kami Nagi, can I grill the meat for Caesar without sprinkling cumin powder?"

Kami Nagi Rin shook her head and said, "Don't spoil it. Look at how fat it is. It's almost like a fat tiger."

"Roar!" Caesar growled in protest and shook off his fat body.

"Haha, don't be so serious. It can eat whatever it wants."

Bai Shi smiled, put his arm around Caesar's neck, handed him a glass of wine and said, "Come, have a drink with me."

Faced with the beer poured into his mouth, Caesar did not refuse. He tilted his head slightly, drank it all in one breath, and licked the beer can with his tongue, as if he was still reluctant to drink more.

Kaminagi Rin raised her eyebrows and said, "Shiraishi-kun, don't give Caesar wine!"

"It's okay. I'm here. Are you still worried about it getting into trouble?"

Shiraishi waved his hands, his brain feeling a little dizzy, and he acted more casually than usual, "Besides, this isn't the first time I've given it alcohol."

"..." Looking at Caesar's happy expression, Kaminagi Rin nodded helplessly, "Okay."

With permission, Jun Komori handed over the grilled beef skewers. Unlike the ones sold on the street, the beef skewers they grilled at home were real beef skewers, and the bamboo skewers covered the area so that only the area left for grabbing with hands was left.

Caesar took a bite, without breaking the bamboo skewer, and slid the meat into his mouth smoothly.

"Shiraishi-kun, I want to drink too."

Kiryuin Misaya swallowed the meat, raised her hand and expressed her wish.

Bai Shi waved his hand and said, "You can't, minors can't drink!"

Being casual doesn't mean doing whatever one wants. He still understands that some rules must be followed.

"Why can Caesar?"

"It's a full-grown tiger."

Guilongyuan Meisai said angrily: "I am also a transcendent, what's wrong with drinking a sip or two of wine?"

I puffed my chest out, wanting to prove that I was no worse than the adults.

"Ah, there's a flying saucer over there."

Shiraishi pointed.

Guilongyuan Meiya quickly turned her head and looked up into the sky and asked, "Where is the flying saucer?"

"Invisible."

Bai Shi swore and lied with confidence.

"Hey, Kaminagi, did you see that?"

Guilongyuan Meisai scratched her head, looking confused, wanting to get more specific information about the UFO.

Kaminagi Rin complained: "How could there be such a thing?"

"Ah." Kiryuin Misae reacted, waved her fist angrily, and yelled, "Shiraishi-kun, you betrayed my trust."

"Haha."

Shiraishi stood up and stepped aside, ran around the courtyard, took the barbecue from Komori Jun, turned around and said, "These are for you as an apology."

Guilongyuan Meiya raised her head and said, "Since you apologize sincerely, I will accept it with pleasure."

She didn't take it, choosing to open her mouth and bite the beef skewer, letting Shiraishi hold it and feed her.

Rin Kaminagi was originally watching the fun with a smile, but when she saw this scene, she suddenly lost her composure. She patted Caesar on the back and signaled him with her eyes to go ahead boldly.

Caesar got permission, exerted force on his limbs, and pounced forward. His mouth was much bigger than that of Guilongyuan Meiya, and he bit off the barbecue in one bite.

"Ah! Caesar, you are so brave!"

Guilongyuan Meiya's happy expression changed drastically, and she rolled up her sleeves to deal with it.

Caesar quickly hid back beside his master.

"Caesar, how can you eat Guilongyuan's skewers?"

Kaminagi Rin slapped it on the head and scolded it, "You are so ignorant.

Guilongyuan, I will roast it for you."

"Oh." Guilongyuan Misaya walked forward with a smile and no longer blamed Caesar for disturbing her.

Bai Shi gave a wry smile.
