Chapter 173: The day the gods return to the earth

"Do you want to go out and see?"
"...No more."
Richard sighed.
"It's still important to find the queen." At this time, he had already discovered the "culprit" who was shaking the mountain--
Those are huge worms, eager to get their heads out of the soil.
They are red all over, with dark spots on their bodies, their heads and tails are spike-shaped, and their head organs have only a huge, hideous mouth full of sharp teeth, which is very permeating. At first glance, there are at least a hundred worm heads shaking in the field of vision.
I'm afraid that before people noticed it, the entire cavity of the mountain was almost eaten by this monster.
"Isn't the death worm on the ground of Silent Hill Mr. Evelyn's pet?... By the way, he and the Hanged Man were once a teacher-student relationship."
Richard guessed.
"Mr. Howard is a legend in the field of plague, but now he has called demons to besiege, although it sounds huge... Does it mean that he has not exerted his full strength now?" Anyway, he has to thank Mr. Howard for trying to overturn the entire chessboard. Move.
Although the queen was taken away under his nose, it didn't take much effort to find it later. The real obstacle lies in the cardinal--
Now, it depends on whether the other party intends to continue to deal with him or turn his head to destroy the evil spirit. If this person really insists on preventing him from approaching, that would be quite troublesome...

"Master Chief, what should we do?"
On the other side, a tall and thin man wearing a black vest, white Roman collar, and sunglasses appeared beside him, kneeling on one knee.
Amidst the earth-shaking sound, the entire valley was collapsing underground. The convoy had fallen out of the mountain and disappeared outside the crack; mercenaries from the royal capital, and guards sent by the palace and nobles could only choose to protect themselves in the face of natural disasters.
But the two of them stood steadily on a raised rock, motionless.
There were also five priests in the same costume, each found a fixed foothold, their eyes all fell on Qiong An, waiting for his order.
"Where is the queen?"
"It has been protected by us."
The man in sunglasses lowered his head and replied respectfully.
"The guards from the other forces did not have time to get close. So according to the agreement, from now on, the protection task will be carried out by the Internal Affairs Bureau alone."
Qiong An nodded.
"well done."
...
Almost all people living in the territory of the Holy League have heard of the name "Sword of the Ordinary", but few people know exactly what his status is in the Holy See.
If only relying on one's own legendary strength, it would seem weak; but every member of the Cardinals, without exception, is the person in charge, and Joan Borgia is no exception.
This person is a member of the "Borgias", the second largest family in the Kingdom of Esperia. He joined the Cardinals three years ago and served as the Director of the Interior of the Papal Chamber and the joint honor of the three knights. Head.
Of course, the latter is just his vacant position: every clergy member who is promoted to the Pope’s Hall as a "knight" will be suspended in the Knights’ Order. After all, that is the largest armed group controlled by the Holy See in name; and the former represents Qiong’an’s true Power of control.
Most people would call him by his original family surname, and members of the Knights would respect him as the head of the group. Some people even use him to please him when in fact he has not obtained it (because he did not wear the crown), but The holy name that has been predetermined for him-"John" is used to call him.
Among all the people who would use the term "director" to call him, only Qiong An's direct line, a member of the Internal Affairs Bureau of the Pope's Office.
Among the guards who came this time, the members sent by the Holy See, except for the white-robed monks from the Great Sanctuary and the deacons of St. Anthony's Cathedral, the rest were all directly under Qiong'an.
"Your will."
After the man with sunglasses expressed his appreciation for his boss, he continued to ask him for instructions.
"Next, what are we going to do? Do we need to set up an ambush near the queen's car?"
"Do not."
Qiong An shook his head.
"You only need to protect the queen. Don't let her suffer any harm, this is the bottom line."
"Now, I need to go outside. This earthquake is an invitation to me-afterwards, if Rasputin Novich appears in front of the queen in person, and you really can’t handle it, don’t be too embarrassed. , Just give him what this person wants."
"I have discussed with the queen, and she herself agrees with this decision. This is a respectable lady who regards the lives of others more than her own. You must thank her very much."
"... Is this... to compromise with the magic tower?"
The man in sunglasses froze for a moment, and asked hesitantly.
Qiong An glanced at him.
"The Dark Tower Wizard was originally not our target, so how can we compromise? In this transaction, it is the King who really chooses to compromise."
"Then we..."
"Let's stop here, Andre. This is a topic you are not qualified to inquire about right now."
Mr. Bishop sighed slightly ~EbookFREE.me~ The existence of the magic tower is nothing but a disease of scabies to the apostle. If it is to deal with them, I will not need to be a pioneer personally. "
"...Yes, I understand."
Father Andre lowered his head again and accepted the order.
After that, he stood up, his muscles bulged, and he could even support the faint outline of the loose priest's uniform.
The man bent his knees, squatted slightly, and made a jump position.
In the next second, bright flames erupted from the soles of his feet; at the same time, a distinct metallic luster could be seen from the holes in the clothes of his legs and arms.
Father Andre kicked his feet, and the rock under his feet exploded with a "bang", and debris flying around. Under the huge reaction force, I rushed into the sky suddenly.
The rest of the members of the Internal Affairs Bureau, who were scattered all over the country, all dressed in black, spewed flames from their feet and curled up into the air in the same way.
Only Mr. Bishop remained in place.
He is waiting. Because only when the mountain is completely collapsed, the "things" hiding in the dark can show their grandeur.
Qiong An decided to push another hand.
...
"Five hundred years ago, the day of the'God Return to the Earth' predicted by Sister Shipton is really coming..."
He put his finger on the cross on the hilt of the sword at his waist and gently rubbed it; his other hand was placed on the flowing mud wall.
"Back then, when the believers were all cheering for this news, I'm afraid no one would have expected that the first one that might recover is actually the biggest and most vicious enemy of our Lord..." If one day, The gods will return to the world, and the dead demons will also be resurrected
Is there anything more ironic than this?
