In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

"No! I will find a way to end this thousand-year blood feud within my lifetime!"

"On Terra, there will be true peace only when the Sarkaz disappear!"

"A peace built on blood...is that it?"

Rayna whispered, her eyes cold.

"You should already know the Sarkaz's record in Kazdel... Do you think you can develop a weapon that would allow tens of thousands of people to fight against a coalition force of four hundred thousand?"

"It just takes time and money... I can develop it in three years... no, one year!"

Vlad slammed his hands on the table and stood up, looking furious.

He fixed his eyes on Raynay.

It seemed as if he wanted to see what else Raynay had to say.

The Sarkaz people might indeed have some powerful weapons that they are not aware of yet, but he can also be sure that the Sarkaz people have only mastered this weapon recently.

Otherwise, why has it only been used this once in thousands of years of war?

As long as he is given a year, he can definitely develop weapons that are not inferior to the fighting strength of the Sarkaz!

only……

"Cardinal Vlad, in your eyes, the Sarkaz are not human?"

"nature!"

"How do you explain the Lateran Canon where the Lord says, 'Whoever speaks His words is a beloved friend?'"

"When the Lord spoke of 'speaking His language,' He was referring only to the Lateran language! Other languages ​​are not included in this scope!"

"Vlad!"

"Rainya!"

The two cardinals were arguing at this time.

Vlad firmly believed that this was a conspiracy and the Sarkaz must be annihilated. His strong pro-war sentiment infected a large number of people.

But Raynay felt that this might be an opportunity to change the whole world.

If both the Lateran and the Sarkaz are ready to reconcile, then what conflicts can't be resolved?!

This idea has indeed infected many people. Many people feel that if this thing succeeds, it is very likely to be an extremely important chapter in the entire history of Terra.

But unfortunately, the views of both sides are so contradictory that there is really no room for either side to compromise.

And it was at this moment.

The old man sitting in the middle of everyone spoke slowly.

"Cardinal Vlad..."

"I'm here, Your Highness."

Even the radical Vlad softened a little after hearing the old man's words.

And there was only one person in all of Lateran who could make Vlad obediently call him "Your Highness"...

The current Pope, Evangelista IX!

He spoke, and everyone fell silent, looking at each other silently, ready to listen to the other party's final words.

Evangelista IX did not keep everyone waiting for too long. After just a moment of thought, he gave his answer.

"Vlad, from now on, you will become the temporary commander of the Papal Knights. From now on, you will lead one-third of the Papal Knights to the border!"

As soon as the Pope spoke, everyone's eyes widened.

Just as Raynay's face looked a little anxious, Evangelista IX spoke again.

"But don't act rashly... Raynay, from now on, you will be fully responsible for arranging the reception for the Sarkaz Demon King. When you feel that everything is out of control, you can lift Vlad's restrictions on the leadership of the Pope Knights..."

"this?!"

"Yes!"

Rayna's face lit up with joy, and she immediately agreed.

The Pope's words seemed to be equally beneficial, but in fact they were biased towards Rayna.

Although Vlad was given command of the force, he was chained.

And the person who can open the lock can only be Rayna!

Vlad's expression was a little stiff.

But under everyone's gaze, he still lowered his head and accepted the order...

And in front of all the silent bishops, Evangelista IX smiled softly.

He slowly dragged his seriously ill body to his feet, and everyone bowed to him in unison.

"Everyone..."

He spoke, his voice echoing in the empty hall.

"This could be... a turning point in our history..."

……

Maria's Hospice, in the garden.

Maria was sitting quietly on the grass, flipping through the fairy tale book full of religious meaning in her hand.

At this time, the children in the distance were discussing something.

After hesitating for a moment, a slightly older girl approached Maria cautiously.

"Sister Maria..."

The girl mustered up her courage and whispered to Maria, her words trembling slightly.

Maria did not ignore the other person, but just turned her head slightly to express her doubts.

It was also the first time the girl spoke to Maria, and her voice was filled with a bit of uneasiness and worry.

After hesitating for a long time, she carefully raised the wreath in her hand that was made of flowers picked by everyone.

"that……"

Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was worried about her next move.

Maria just looked at her slightly flustered and uneasy face in silence.

The girl didn't look very old, only about seven or eight years old. Her eyes were like those of a young fawn, swaying from side to side, showing her uneasiness.

She wanted to give the wreath to Maria, but she didn't know if her actions would make Maria unhappy...

They had been here for almost a month. Everyone knew that everything here was prepared for them by Sister Maria, but they had never been able to say a few words to her...

Although children are simple, they are not really ignorant.

They knew that it was Maria who gave them a place to rest and food to eat.

They also hope to do something to express their gratitude.

And this wreath is a symbol...

Maria was silent for a while and then let out a breath.

"..."

She didn't say anything, but in silence, she quietly took off the hat that she always wore.

Her pure white hair fell slightly as she lowered her head, and her silent face was as peaceful as Sleeping Beauty.

When the girl saw this scene, her face suddenly lit up with joy.

She turned her head to look at her companions, and after seeing their equally happy faces, she mustered up the courage to carefully place the crown made of colorful flowers on Maria's head.

"Do you... like it?"

Looking at Maria raising her head again, the girl folded her hands together, her big eyes full of anticipation.

"..."

Maria didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly to express her attitude.

And this little response was enough to make the children happy.

With Maria's gentle push, the girl happily returned to her group of friends.

Just ten meters away from Maria, a large group of children were joyfully bowing slightly to her.

Then he left happily.

Maria just stroked the wreath on her head, her face calm...

"You seem very popular with these children..."

Just as Maria was stroking the wreath on her head, a figure walked out from the side.

Rayna found Maria again!

"What's wrong?"

Maria didn't care about it. She just looked calmly at Rayna who was covering her mouth and laughing beside her, with a calm look in her eyes.

Rayna looked very happy, as if something good had happened.

"It's indeed a good thing."

Rayna took a deep breath.

She told him everything that happened in the meeting, her face full of excitement.

After listening to this, Maria nodded slightly.

But she was not happy, instead she nodded.

"I see……"

"Ok?"

Maria turned slightly to the side, making room for the ground behind her.

Rayna was puzzled for a moment.

But after a moment, she discovered.

The land behind Maria seemed to have been stirred up not long ago...

And look at its area.

Just enough for one person...

413

Chapter 413 Process.

Just enough space for one person...

The soil has obviously been renovated...

And Maria's thoughtful words just now...

Rayna was stunned for a while, then turned her head in panic and looked at Maria beside her.

But Maria acted as if nothing had happened, glanced at the girl lightly, turned around and walked away.

Rayna looked at Maria's gradually receding back, and then looked at the black long sword at her waist that had no blood on it.

After a few moments of silence, she continued to follow.

"……How is this going?"

Rayna spoke, her eyes fixed on Maria's back, trying to figure out what was going on.

But Maria just glanced at the girl and shook her head slightly.

"I don't know, but... just before you came, someone sneaked in here... I didn't want to do anything, but he wanted to poison the food."

Maria spoke slowly, and her steps paused again.
