Otoko Game: Male protagonists, I’m just a scumbag

"Then it must have been intercepted halfway."

Wei Lan stood up and looked out the window, then asked Gabriel:

"Speaking of which, you came back so late. Did something happen along the way?"

Gabriel nodded:

“Before I reached the palace, I was intercepted by several mercenaries, and it took me some time to shake them off.

Then when I got to the princess' palace, they wouldn't even let me in. Then I met Gemma."

"Hmm..." It seemed to be similar to what he guessed. Wei Lan thought about it for a while:

"Okay, now that everything is clear, we have to find out what Viscount Vichy and his men want to do."

I don't think they want to sacrifice Phoenix or something...

Wei Lan thought about it and turned around and started walking towards the door. Gemma and the others followed immediately. Wei Lan walked down and said:

"At that time, they said that they seemed to want to carry Phoenix's coffin down. I don't know what they are going to do."

"Are they going to..." Gabriel thought about it and came up with something very scary.

If this is the case, it would be a bit difficult.

Wei Lan also immediately understood what he was guessing.

Gemma walked between them and swallowed nervously:

"Are they planning to give the Bishop to...?"

Wei Lan stopped and looked at him, then patted his shoulder:

"It seems you are quite smart."

"Why do I feel like there's something wrong with your eyes?! I'm very smart!" Gemma immediately retorted.

Wei Lan just teased him. In fact, he knew that he was quite smart sometimes, but he didn't intend to say more.

Quicken your pace and go out quickly:

"Then we have to hurry over there."

"Go to Blessed Road." Gabriel suddenly spoke as if he had thought of something.

"!" Gemma also reacted and pulled Wei Lan out quickly:

"go!"

"Huh? What?" Wei Lan was being dragged away, feeling somewhat confused.

"What's wrong with that road? How did you know they would go that way?"

As Gemma pulled him forward, his expression darkened. He pursed his lips and said:

"That Viscount Vichy probably wants to send the Bishop to the Rose Temple to be judged by the Twelve Gods."

"Ah?" Wei Lan was still a little confused. Where was the Rose Temple?

He had hardly heard of these.

But when it comes to accepting the judgment of the twelve gods, he probably knows what it means.

Viscount Vichy and his men have really thought it through.

They hurried to Ci Fu Road, but in fact, they were blocked halfway.

It seems that the Viscount of Vichy has already taught the people to get rid of him.

Because the road was full of people, with rows of people walking forward on both sides, and a large number of soldiers maintaining order.

What surprised Wei Lan was that although there were soldiers surrounding him on both sides,

But every few meters, there were women with white lace headscarves covering their eyes, carrying flower baskets filled with petals.

Scattering petals on the beautiful streets and on the roads surrounded by soldiers.

Wei Lan felt strange, poked Gemma as he walked, and asked him:

"What are they doing? Why are they scattering flower petals?"

Gemma glanced at him suspiciously, then relaxed her expression as if she had thought of something:

“It’s normal that Princess doesn’t know. This should be the first time you’ve seen it since you were born.

But...Princess, have you never heard of this?"

Wei Lan immediately frowned, thinking, how much older are you than me? But he is a member of the church, so he should know this kind of thing.

"Okay, stop wasting time and tell me what's going on."

"Holy-- Road."

Gemma glanced at the road with a heavy head, uttered two words, and then said:

"In the past eighty years, there have been only two people who have walked this path, and the bishop is the second one."

"Where did the first one go?" Wei Lan asked following his words.

"After walking this path, he passed away."

"Ah?" Wei Lan was even more confused, wishing he knew everything at once.

He is talking about death. Could it be that this road is also the road to death?

He wanted to ask Gemma next, but Gemma stopped talking and instead talked about the headscarves on their heads and the white veils on their faces.

It is something beautiful and mysterious.

"The covered face represents the inability to be seen. The path they sow is an invisible path, and it also represents God's guidance."

Wei Lan nodded, not knowing how to describe his feelings. After all, he had never felt this way before.

It’s just that the shocking feeling at the scene is hard to ignore.

The three of them could only follow the flow of people and move forward very slowly.

Just at this moment, there was a commotion coming from the way they came, and everyone turned around to look back.

In the middle of the road that was blocked by the soldiers, I saw a team walking majestically and quietly. At the front were four soldiers wearing silver armor.

The soldiers were wearing cloaks with a blue rose seal, and one of them was holding a flag embroidered with roses.

Following behind them walked four people carrying a crystal coffin.

Everyone held their breath almost at the same time at this moment. Wei Lan stopped and looked, then suddenly opened his eyes wide with a look of shock.

Gemma and Gabriel both shuddered at the same time.

Inside the transparent and bright crystal coffin, there was a body lying peacefully. It was Phoenix.

There was just one slight difference. The edges of the crystal coffin were covered with white roses, and those white roses looked like they were in full bloom.

Green thorny vines wrapped around the crystal coffin, seeming to be full of vitality.

But the man lying in the middle was already lifeless.

Although there was no sign of life, he calmly closed his eyes, and looked peaceful, as if he was just sleeping and not dead.

But this is not what makes everyone strange.

Instead, his soft white hair that was scattered beside him almost blended into the white rose, and his skin was as white as snow.

He is just like the gods described in the books, sincere and flawless.

"Why does he have white hair?" Wei Lan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of the white-haired man he saw that day.

Could it be that these two people are the same person? That’s not right…

When he went up to see the coffin at that time, the guy clearly didn't have white hair yet.

Gemma and Gabriel were also extremely surprised. Everyone raised questions at this moment, but the walking soldiers did not stop because of their surprise, but continued to move forward slowly.

The crowd gradually followed and asked various questions along the way, but no one answered them.
