Release that Witch

893. Chapter 893 Resignation of Destiny

    Two weeks later, when the midsummer month was coming to an end, Roland finally arrived at Hermes.

    The Northern Lands garrison and witches greeted him at the gate of the Holy City gate. In addition, he saw a little nun in the team wearing the Church black robes.

    Although Roland has learned from Lightning about the collective disappearance of Church’s high-level collectives, when he walked into the empty highhold stronghold, he still couldn’t believe it. The anticipation of the war did not happen, whether it was God Punishment Witches or new style. The mortars were not used. Although this result is no better, there is always a feeling of punching on cotton.

    It was a very good choice to bring Isabella before the expedition. According to a report from Hawk Face and Agatha, it was this predecessor, Pure One, who noticed Church’s anomaly and made a deeper move to the Northern Lands after properly disposing of the monastery orphans. Holy City of Hermes survey recommendations.

    The result is surprising. The big cities have already gone to the sky, leaving only the residents in the outer city who have not been able to move to maintain the illusion that Church still exists. In fact, they are not clear about what happened in the inner city, only to hear that Church is preparing for the final battle.

    Then the Isabella-integrated nuns quickly entered Hermes – under the circumstance of these people, the signs of escape gradually eased, and at least the refugees in the direction of Wolf Heart and Eternal Winter basically no longer appeared. After all, giving up the Holy City is simply a dramatic change, and the blow to Church’s reputation is almost devastating. Compared with those who leave without saying goodbye, the nun who took the initiative to restore order is more like Church’s successor.

    “How did this happen?”Since the letter could not be written in too detailed, the first thing after Roland entered Holy City was to ask about the whereabouts of Church’s remnant forces. “There are thousands of people in the inner city. Do you need to go through the outer wall without leaving the plateau? ?”

    “There are many natural tunnels under Hermes, some of which can pass through the Holy City Wall from the ground. If it is evacuated in batches, it can indeed make the residents of the outer city unconscious. ”Isabella explains, “They were designed to be used once and they only went out, and I checked several tunnel entrances and found that they were all destroyed.”

    “Where are those tunnels going?”

    “Only the people who have passed know,” she shook her head. “If the escape is planned in advance, it will be difficult to trace their whereabouts after a month and a half.”

    So, Church is going to cut his tail and save his life. Roland can’t help but frown. The problem is that giving up the Holy City is equivalent to losing the basic disk, not as simple as cutting the tail, and the damage is even worse than the break. They are so confident that they can rediscover a base against Greycastle? Still intending to turn it into zero, harassing his territory in batches? He felt a headache when he thought about the group of fanatics in the next few years.

    Probably seeing his thoughts, Isabella smiled. “You don’t have to worry about Church anymore, they won’t come back.”

    Roland groaned. “Why do you say that?”

    “They left a messenger.”The other party answers.

……

    In a small church in the northern part of Holy City, Roland saw the messenger in Isabella’s mouth.

    It was a white-haired old man dressed in a brand new red-edged gold edged priest’s robe. He held a thick book in his arms and walked out under the guard’s shackles.

    Despite his faltering steps, he still looked up, as if he didn’t want to lose to anyone in the momentum. He first looked at Isabella coldly and then looked at Roland. “You are King of Greycastle, Roland Wimbledon Your Majesty?”

    It's me.

    “ash-grey hair, it is very similar to your father,” the old man said slowly. “My name is Jacob, the High Priest of Holy City. If you follow the secular division, it is probably equivalent to Duke…Of course, I don’t have a corresponding fief and I don’t need so many servants. ”

    “I heard that you insist on waiting for me here?”Roland shrugged. “Why, those people didn’t bring you when they sneaked?”

    “I want to stay by myself,” he said with a solemn expression, as if he was telling the last words. “I am old and can’t run…Even if I can go, I have not lived for a few years. Instead of going to a new life, it is better to be buried with the city. ”

    “new life?”Roland quickly caught the key words in the other party’s words.

    “Yes, all the responsibility is removed, just for the rest of life.”There was a bit of irony in Jacob’s voice. “You won, His Majesty The King, if this is what you want to see – Church will no longer be right with you, the city will be handed over to the original In your hands, and you will soon take over our nightmare.”

    Oh
Roland can’t help.

    “Do you think we are to be on the plateau that has nothing?”He increased the volume. “Look at the good things you do, human beings will perish because of you!”

    “Yes, you are too serious to say, I can’t take this pot.”Upon hearing this, Roland probably understood the intent of High Priest. Church really didn’t want to let himself comfortably take down the Holy City, even if he couldn’t stop it, he had to make a mental dilemma. This hand has also played before the decisive battle, but the original intention is completely different – if he is a person who knows nothing about War of Divine Will, then when he knows that Devil is about to destroy humanity, he will definitely Surprised and confused. If you add more oil and vinegar, and put the classic black pot of “human destruction is your fault” on your head, its lethality is no less than spiritual pollution.

    pot “Smirk!”Nonsense, do you think I am joking? Young His Majesty The King, it seems that Pure One does not tell you the truth of the matter. ”Jacob meaningfully slammed Isabella. “Church has an unimaginable burden, and only a few high-level people know it.” You don’t understand what kind of enemy we are preparing to face for hundreds of years. Now that you have ruined it, you have to bear the consequences, even if you don’t want it. When fate comes to the human head, all you can do is helplessly accept, then watch your kingdom become Fire sea! ”

    It seems that this guy not only wants to launch a mental attack, but also finds an opportunity to provoke his relationship with Isabella, but it is a pity that he has read the wrong person and is wrong…Roland looked at the old priests who were righteous and righteous, and could not help but come up with a word in his mind – life is like a play, it depends on acting.

    “You can’t believe me, but the truth is beyond doubt,” Jacob said, and he took a sigh of relief and spread out the books in his arms. “This is Church’s Holy Scriptures. You will understand after reading it.” What stupid things have you done yourself! We provide comprehensive supportNo, it should be said that the real enemy of mankind is –“

    “Devil, right?”Roland interrupted him casually. “Church built the Holy City here not to defend against the Evil Beast, but the God Stone in the mountains. There is a shack under the cathedral for mining God stone and transforming the God Punishment Army, which is the core of Church’s – of course, I don’t know if you know this, after all, the conversion ceremony can only be in the hands of the pope. Do you still want to say the smile of War of Divine Will or gods? For a hundred years, a reincarnation of war is not a new news. Devil is not a ghost without a shadow. In fact, I have dealt with them early. So,Do you have anything else to say? ”

    “You—-” Jacob was stunned at this time. He grew his mouth, and he couldn’t say a word for a long time. It looked like he would be shut away at any time. After a while, he trembled to Isabella. “It’s you…”

    The latter shook his head gently. “These are not told by me.” From the beginning, he knew far more things than we expected. You are too young to look at him…Or, we all looked down on him. ”

    “Since you are finished, it’s time for me to turn to me,” Roland sneered.
