C402 A Trip to the Church(4)

After that duel, those arrogant fellows of Knight of Light's group no longer dared to look down on the Purple Lightning Army. They used to think that it was just a private army of nobles, but now they knew. To be able to quickly become famous in the continent, they indeed had great strength. Just this commander alone already had the strength to be on par with those experts in the Church.

However, that day's ending was somewhat embarrassing. Seeing Knight of Light being defeated by the executioners, the followers below were all stunned and did not know what to say. "Could it be that the light is going to be defeated by the evil forces?"

Fortunately, Atlas had given ___ a way out in time, although his voice was not loud. Everyone around heard what he said. "Stop, Novi. Didn't you see that Knight of Light really wanted to let you go? Put away your weapon and return to the team. Don't lose face here."

The tactful commander also returned to his horse and fixed his armor, as if nothing had happened. However, Atlas's words seemed to have slapped him hard, causing his face to burn...

The army stayed in the church for a night. Of course, Knight of Light's regiment had to stay inside, while Atlas's Purple Lightning Army set up camp outside.

Qingtian could not separate Sophie, so Lord Ashlow naturally stayed in the same room as saintess. He did not care about the bishop's ashen face. So what if you are angry? Bite me? That old Pope doesn't even dare to do anything to me, and this girl was married to me by that old man... You all did a good deed, do you dare to gossip?

The night passed without a word. With the competition during the day, both parties were in peace. The next morning, the army continued to move. There was no rest between them, and they headed straight to the Light Vatican.

At this time, Knight of Light was much more cautious and did not pay any attention to the other side. The knight commander was in a very gloomy mood. As long as they could reach the Holy Church as soon as possible, it would be better than giving him any rewards.

A few days later, Atlas and the rest finally arrived at the Light Vatican. It was a rather grand reception ceremony, and saintess, who had not returned for a long time, was welcomed back into the Church.

Of course, Purple Lightning Army could not enter the church. Their "mission" was to escort them there. Under Atlas's orders, everyone stayed at a place about one kilometer away from the church and was ready to be on standby at any time.

Atlas had suspected the purpose of Sophie being summoned back from the beginning, but he looked at the calm Pope and did not say anything. He just wanted to ask him what the old man meant when he was alone. Finally, an opportunity came.

In order to ensure her safety, Qingtian left the six experts who came with him with Sophie. He directly found the Pope and requested to talk to him alone. Thus, under Pope's instructions, the two of them came to a room. Furthermore, no one was allowed within a few dozen meters of them.

The Pope still looked the same, but now he looked even more calm, but there was a trace of anxiety between his brows, as if there was something on his mind.

However, Atlas did not care about him and directly pointed out his intentions. "Your Majesty, I think you should know everything that has happened on the continent recently, right? I believe that some countries have already asked for your help, but I don't understand why these people did not seem to have received an answer. In the end, they all came to our Art and placed a huge burden on my shoulders. "

The Pope looked into the sky's eyes and felt that Ashlow was different from before. That pair of black eyes was like a deep lake, and he himself seemed to be unable to see the bottom. "My child, just as you said, many strange things have happened in the continent recently. I know that important women have gone missing in every country, and it was done by a group of powerful people. "

After a pause, he saw that there was no reaction from Tian Qingtian. The old man continued, "But I think that even though the Church is very powerful right now, according to our intelligence, the other side had at least a few unk s. Think about how big the Holy See is, but there is no second Divine Level apart from me. My men can't find any trace of the enemy. Everything has been delayed until now."

Hearing his words, Qingtian wasn't satisfied. "But these people all believe in the God of Light. As the spokesperson of the God in the mortal world, are you just going to watch these girls disappear without doing anything?"

Qingtian's words were very incisive, and there was a hint of reproach in his words. The Pope, of course, could see this. "This matter is very troublesome, and it happened so suddenly that there are no clues at all. Looking at the other party's strength, aren't you a bit overestimating me? " Like he didn't say anything, the old man kicked the ball back.

"Since you don't want to say anything, then I'll get straight to the point. Let's see how you're going to avoid it this time." As he thought, Qingtian continued, "Your Majesty, let's put these matters aside. I want to know why you summoned Sophie back at this critical moment. Don't tell me the will of God at that time. There are some things that I'm afraid you don't know. "

"Hmm? What is it? Is it related to that girl?" The Pope had a puzzled look on his face as he asked Qingtian.

"Of course! I think you should know the identities and status of these captured women, as well as their own special characteristics." Tian Qingtian stared at him closely, observing the other party's expression at all times, hoping to find some clues.

"This? They only reported the identities of the missing women to me. As for what's so special about them, I don't know." The Pope was very calm, as if it really had nothing to do with him.

"Hmph, then I'll tell you. As far as I know, up until now, there have been five missing women, they are important figures of the Four Great Empires, and one of them is my wife, Catherine. The other one is the Elf Princess of Fantasy Forest! Not only are they of noble status, but they are also very talented in magic. It could be said that every one of them was a natural magic genius. If they were given more time, they might even become a Magic God.

The most important thing was that the attributes of these five women were completely different, and the other party was still continuing to capture them. According to my analysis, their goal is to capture all of these women with extremely high talent and different attributes on the continent." Atlas told the Pope about these things clearly, although he didn't know whether he would be able to invite them or not. However, since things have already come to this point, it's best to make things clear.

" Oh? I didn't know there was such a relationship. I really didn't know about it. It's just that the Three Great Empires once asked us for help, and we also sent some people to investigate. However, in the end, we got nothing. " The Pope shook his head, as if he didn't know about this.

" Oh? But there is a question that I really want to know, and your recent actions have made me very suspicious! " Atlas looked at the Pope with" malicious intentions "and coldly said.

The Pope could clearly feel the other party's tone. At this time, the Pope was also very puzzled." What is it that makes you suspicious? Speak, child. Is there something that we can't say between us?"

"Of course, we have always been 'honest' with each other. I've fought with them before, and I've killed a few of them. From their mouths, they knew that their next target was Sophie! That is why it is safest for her to stay by my side. I don't know why Pope summoned her back during this sensitive period.

Could it be that you also found out through some means that the other party's target was saintess? You want to summon her back to protect her? You have to know that each time the other party formed a group, there would be three Divine Level. What if there were two groups of people coming at the same time? I think even if the Light Vatican is strong, they won't be able to withstand it, right?

Your Majesty, through some other channels, you found out that the other party wanted to attack Sophie and deliberately called her back. As his husband, I have no choice but to doubt your motive and identity..."

" This... " The Pope did not expect the other party to say this. For a moment, he was stunned and did not know what to say. After a long while, he sighed heavily. He said to Atlas, "I don't know what you're talking about. But... The matter of summoning saintess back was not my concern. It was indeed the will of God..."
