C167 Go Still Not up

The two of them walked for a few days and relied on the detailed map to avoid several sandstorms. Atlas even pulled saintess out of the quicksand a few times.

At night, the two of them sat under the towering rocks to avoid the sandstorms. Due to the difference in temperature between day and night in the Ashkala desert, it was still hot enough to roast eggs during the day. At night, it was so cold that it could freeze ice.

The two of them were not ordinary people, so they were naturally not afraid of the cold under these circumstances. But today, this furball did not know what happened and curled up there trembling.

Atlas touched his forehead and felt that saintess's head was burning hot. "Ah! Why is this furball's head so hot!" " Hey, are you alright? You were fine during the day. Why have you become like this now?" Qingtian pushed her, but saintess was trembling. There was no reaction at all.

"That shouldn't be the case. She is a Sacred Body. Why is it so hot?" Just as she was thinking, saintess took out a letter from her pocket. "This, this, this is the Pope. Your Majesty, please allow it. He asked me to give it to you at this time."

Atlas took the letter and opened it to read. "Ashlow, please forgive me for lying to you. You may have reached the center of the desert by now, but the map is telling the truth. The wealth inside is enough for anyone to live for a few lifetimes. There are also plenty of divine artifact left behind from ancient times. Consider this as compensation to you. Right now, I want to tell you a secret.

I think you are also very puzzled as to why I want you to bring Sophie (saintess). You should know that every saintess in the Holy Church is practically a lifetime until she has a lover and gets married. At this time, the Holy Church will find a new saintess. But why is Sophie so young, and there is no one that we like, so we have already chosen saintess's candidate. That is, your fiancée, Maya.

Because Sophie has a very strange illness. I have to say that everyone including me cannot be cured. It should be the time for her to flare up. Although she is a Sacred Body, this kind of strange illness is not afraid of the light elements at all. It continuously eroded her body.

If you say it out loud, you probably won't believe that her illness needs a man to solve it. In other words, she needs to have sex with someone to be cured. Don't be surprised, this is an ancient curse of our Church. Every few generations, there will be a saintess who possesses a Sacred Body who gets this strange disease. Furthermore, it cannot be carried out with the same people who practice the light system's magic. Of course, there were also many people who did not believe it. In the end, it was saintess who died of illness. No one can cure her, so I have no other way. I can only choose you.

Perhaps you will find it funny, but this is definitely a fact. My previous Pope did not believe in this curse, and in the end, saintess died tragically. Sophie's father was a highly respected cardinal, and died in battle when sealing that demon. She grew up in the Church and did not know anything. Her heart was a blank piece of paper, so she could not find the person she liked. We can't force her to arrange a person she doesn't know to be with her.

But your appearance has given all of this hope. Ever since you returned, I've been watching you closely. Defeat Menes, Alliance Army. Although you have killed a lot of people, many details show that you are very kind. This can be seen from your performance in the Freedom City. So I have decided to entrust Sophie to you.

Plus, this child is also very interested in you because it is saintess. So the men she can interact with are really too few. At most, it can only be those bishops and knights. But they were all people who cultivated the light system, so they could not save her life.

During the few days she interacted with you, this child developed a strong interest in you. Although it wasn't a love between a man and a woman, this was the first time in her life that she had developed an interest in a man. I think, due to your charm, she will soon fall in love with you.

I'm sorry I lied to you, because I already knew your strength. I deliberately accepted your duel, and used the map and powerful demons to tempt you. And tied her to you. I have to say, on this continent, you can do whatever you want with a flip of your hand. It's raining with your hands back. Sophie being able to be with you is also her happiness. And as far as I know, although you have a lot of lovers, but you are very careful and protective of each and every one of them.

Here, please understand the feelings of an old man. Right now, you are the only one who can save her. Perhaps you will feel that this is very unfair to you. The Church owes you a favor for this matter. In the future, if there's anything I need, I'll do my best. I'll do my best to help you. After getting along with her for a long time, you will realize the benefits of Sophie. Here, I will only beg you as an elder and an elder to save this child."

Looking at the girl who had already collapsed on his body and was trembling, Qingtian really did not know what to say. He simply took the letter and continued reading.

"It's true about the demon we sealed. Back then, the previous Pope and the eight Cardinals combined were unable to defeat him, too powerful, just hearing their description makes me feel fear. I know that your current strength can already run amok on the continent, but I also know that you want to continue going up... That's why I want you to go and see if you have the confidence to defeat him. Then let Sophie undo his seal. If it is not possible, then take away everything inside. Let him sleep there all the time.

But the most important reason is not how strong you are, rather, it is that powerful Evil Demon is the same as you, possessing the black hair and black eyes that this continent does not have! Your identity is very clear. You are indeed a member of the Fernandez family. But there is such a coincidence, you are actually the same as him. I hope you can solve this mystery. I don't think there can only be one such powerful person. There might be another race behind him. If that's the case, then this continent will be doomed soon. I also hope that you take the bigger picture into consideration and carefully investigate.

Finally, I sincerely apologize to you once again, using the name of the Pope and the entire Light Vatican to apologize to you, I lied to you. But I sincerely hope that you can save this child. - - Pope Charles the Ninth. "

After reading the letter, Atlas really didn't know what to say. However, it was calculated by that old man. He was unable to escape at all. Not only did it involve the good and evil of human nature, but it also involved the good and evil of human nature. And the responsibility of the continent. The most important thing was to lure his curiosity to the most crucial point. It was impossible for him to turn back now. "Sigh, so that's why I brought her along."

Looking at the sickly Sophie in front of him, Qingtian felt very helpless. "Should I go or not?"
