Chapter 469 God’s Will
Early morning on April 26th.
South of the capital Musixiti, in a prosperous city more than a thousand kilometers away. The local Holy Mother Church established its main monastery in a slum called "La Soga".
A young woman wearing a black nun's uniform with a silver-plated cross on her chest was walking quickly towards the church.
The nuns passing by along the way saluted the woman one after another and respectfully called:
"Sister Aurora, may the Holy Mother have mercy on you."
"Good morning, sisters."
Seeing this, Aurora also stopped and returned the favor with a bright smile. .
"May the Holy Mother have mercy on you."
Immediately, she left under the respectful eyes of the nuns and walked into the church.
As soon as they entered, an old nun who was waiting quietly at the door came forward, lowered her head, and whispered:
"Aurora, Dean Batalia asked me to remind you, The Holy Mother Bishopric has arrived at the monastery and is waiting in the prayer room behind the church, asking you to come quickly."
"Sister Curti, thank you for informing me."
Aurora said to her. He smiled and saluted, then continued to go deeper.
She walked along the aisle on the wall side of the church, then passed through a side door and entered the corridor.
After walking for a while, Aurora stood at the door of a prayer room at the back of the church.
She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
Tuk Tuk.
"Aurora, please come in."
An old female voice came from inside.
Aurora said yes, then pushed the door open and entered.
Creak.
As soon as you entered the door, you saw the dark prayer room, filled with white candles of all sizes, and the firelight was swaying.
There are only four benches inside, facing an announcement table. On the wall behind the bulletin board, there is also a relief sculpture of the Virgin smiling towards the world.
At this moment, there are nine high-backed wooden chairs placed behind the announcement table, with a woman wearing a black bishop's vestment and a black-striped hat sitting on each of them.
These female bishops are obviously old, with gray hair and wrinkles at the corners of their eyes. The youngest ones are over fifty.
And the aura of the nine female bishops is like a deep pool, very mysterious. The Archbishop sitting in the middle and headed by him has a level 6 strength, while the rest are all level 5.
Ms. Battaglia, the abbot of this monastery, stood respectfully on the side of the announcement table. When she saw Aurora coming in, she made a gesture.
Aurora nodded.
She knew that the nine people sitting on the stage were all members of the Holy Mother Bishopric, the highest level of the church. At the same time, he also came under the will of the Pope to convey a secret mission to her.
She walked to the center and bowed to the stage.
“Mother of the Holy Sisters, Aurora Lowry, has met the bishops.”
“No need to be polite, Sister Aurora.”
This At that moment, the Archbishop, a white-haired old woman sitting in the middle of the high platform, spoke.
“To make a long story short, the purpose of our bishops coming here this time is to convey the Pope’s message in person - she said that the Virgin’s angel, ‘Father Jiao Yi’, crowned her, descended upon us in a dream. According to the decree, I hope that we will send people to the capital of the empire, Muse City, to assist Mr. Gilan Iros, the Imperial Cross Knight, in fighting the coming evil.”
Hearing this, Aurora couldn't help but be stunned.
Assist Mr. Gillan?
And it was the angel of the Holy Mother who personally issued the divine decree to the Pope...
How much attention is paid to it!
Aurora couldn't help but feel a sense of honor in her heart, and she was secretly proud of being a member of the "Hand of Dawn".
He has even greater respect for Mr. Gillan.
"Although I don't know why this Knight of Gilan has attracted the attention and attention of the angels of our religion, these are not things we should consider... Since it is God's decree, we will faithfully implement it."
The archbishop said again.
“It has been decided by the Pope and the Bishops’ Conference that you, Aurora, will personally lead the team and lead the members of the Holy Sisters to set off immediately to the capital city of Museciti to assist the Gilan Knight.”< br>
“Yes, Aurora understands.”
The young nun folded her hands on her lower abdomen, bowed her head slightly and said.
The archbishop nodded and asked:
"Sister Aurora, please be careful... As far as I know, the Empire including the Machinery Union, the Atonement Church, and even the Chamber of Commerce have sent out They left their respective armed personnel to assist the Gilan knight, which shows that this matter is extraordinary."
"Aurora remembered the archbishop's warning."
"Well, go ahead. ”
"Yes."
Aurora saluted again, then turned and left.
After she left the prayer room and the door closed with a click, the bishops on the high platform began to whisper.
"Sister Bathilda, how much do you know about Najlan Elos? Why does the empire let him take charge of the overall situation?"
A female bishop asked in a deep voice.
The bishop whose name was called was an old woman with wrinkles on her face. She thought for a while and replied:
"It is said that this young man is the direct descendant of the 'White Sage' Para Celsus. A disciple, but also a mysterious person with amazing talents."
"Yes." Another female bishop nodded. "His identity to the outside world is just the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, but in fact he is quite extraordinary..."
"In the 'Six-Party Gambling Battle' some time ago, he single-handedly defeated the three major powers in the Federation. The representative of the secret society, and also killed a ray of will of the evil god's messenger "Windmill Cat" Pal Solomon."
"How can it be so amazing?"
"No wonder the empire attaches so much importance to him..."
"Parra is dying, and Mr. Gillan is very likely to inherit his position as teacher and take on the important responsibilities of the empire."
"The next mysterious chairman?"
"Then why does the Holy Mother and Angel care so much about him? What do you sisters think of this?"
"Dear Bishop Guys, I have a guess.”
At this time, Ms. Battaglia, the abbess of the monastery standing aside, suddenly spoke.
The bishops looked at her. "Battalia, it doesn't matter if you say it."
The archbishop raised his hand to signal and said softly.
The dean nodded and said respectfully:
"Is it possible that Mr. Gilan Iros is a descendant of our lord, the Holy Mother... This can also explain that the Pope is quite respectful when calling his name."
"Huh?"< br>
All the members of the bishopric were shocked.
They started talking in low voices again.
The leader of the Archbishop took a deep breath and looked thoughtful.
"It's not impossible."
The favored by the gods are those who are favored by the gods.
Most of the gods’ followers throughout the ages have passed the test and eventually ascended to become apostles.
That is, angels.
“Compared with other ancient and great ministers, the time of Her Majesty’s ascension was too short, just like the ‘Torrent’ Crown in January, with only one angel under her seat.”
The Archbishop said solemnly.
“There are three vacancies in the position of our Lord’s apostle. If you take a fancy to Gilan Iros’s character and talent, it is very possible to regard him as a divine relative.”
“Say Maybe, in the distant future, Knight Gilan Iros will really ascend and even become a new angel under the seat of Our Lady..."
"From now on, the attitude of our Holy Mother Church towards him should change. , It’s better to communicate with each other in good faith.”
“Yes, Archbishop Muir”
…
…
That afternoon.
Aurora, who was well prepared, led a total of more than 50 members of the Holy Sisters to leave from the secret passage under the monastery.
The members of the Holy Sisters of the church are all devout nuns who are proficient in occultism and soul magic. Most of them are level 2 mystics, and a few are level 3.
Aurora, who is the team leader, is a level 4 Kusei.
The group of people will travel along the underground secret passage, and in a secret room at the deepest point, they will be teleported through a magic circle engraved on the stone slab, directly arriving at the outskirts of the capital city of Muse City.
Afterwards, enter the capital on foot and head to the central Triumph area to meet the Gilan Knights.
It all went well.
As the magic circle in the secret room emitted a gray light, the Holy Sisters completed the long-distance teleportation and appeared on the banks of the White Tail River outside the capital city.
There is a three-meter-high stone statue of the Virgin standing on the roadside. In front of the stone statue are placed fire pots, bouquets, fruits and other sundries left behind by individual believers when they passed by.
"Sisters, we have arrived near the capital, please follow me closely."
Aurora turned around and gave a gentle explanation.
The nuns were very quiet and whispered their answers.
Immediately afterwards, Aurora walked at the front of the team, heading towards the Eighth Bridge not far away.
But just when the Holy Sisters were about a hundred meters away from the stone statue, an inexplicable cool breeze blew.
Swish...
The nuns in the team all felt spiritual warnings, and a sudden heart palpitation occurred spontaneously.
"Captain Aurora!"
"Huh?!"
Aurora's face changed slightly.
She seemed to feel that there was a pair of invisible eyes scanning the Holy Sisters with a malicious gaze.
"This is...the power of divination!"
"Be careful! An unknown force is targeting us!"
It was almost her reminder that just sounded.
Aurora was shocked to see that the surrounding countryside was filled with gray fog without warning.
The gray fog became thicker and thicker, obscuring the bridges, rivers, city clusters in the distance... and even some passing carriages, cars and pedestrians, all disappeared.
In the fog, they were the only ones left, the Virgin Sisters.
Du Di——
Du Di Du Du——
A strange clarinet sound sounded from the gray fog.
Immediately afterwards, Aurora's pupils shrank.
Because she saw that the members of the Holy Sisters around her had expressions of despair, as if they were the true expression of the dying person's last moments.
A skeleton wearing a gorgeous costume, twisting in a weird posture, walked out of the gray mist and approached the nuns.
Click, click, click.
But in the blink of an eye, these skeletons in costumes were very close, surrounding them.
“Ah!” A nun could not escape and was hugged tightly by the skeleton.
There was a bang.
They both turned into gray mist and disappeared.
When Aurora saw this scene, a certain secret she learned when she studied occult classics hard in the past flashed through her mind.
"The one who ascended under the seat of 'Soul King' Lotharus, the 'Gentleman of Remaining Remaining' likes the recorder, drama and the art of death. He can create illusions and take living people away from the world forever..."
"'Remaining Remaining Gentleman' The gentleman’s counterpart has arrived?”
Aurora’s pupils shrank.
