"what?"

"Although I am an extraordinary person, I am also an artist. This studio preserves all my works so far. There are not many people who can visit them. So, first of all, this one..."

The man stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. Immediately behind him was a portrait with disgusting colors and a stench. Peter turned his head and looked at the portrait obsessively. idea.

"Look at this, this is my proudest work. Those painters who are trying to gain fame are so disappointing. Their so-called holy portraits are completely in shape but without spirit. Look at those empty eyes! Look at that. Flesh and blood of the soul! This is the blasphemy of art!"

"And I finally found the most vivid painting method after a long period of exploration. It was a trip, and I saw a pregnant woman breastfeeding her child. Imagine the second child, she was so beautiful in that moment, I wanted to document it anyway so... I killed her."

The man with a gentle smile on his face recalled the good times in the past, but what he said made Noelle and Roja completely stupefied.

"What did you say?"

"I killed her and her children, and used their flesh and blood to complete this "Smiling Madonna". Look at this wonderful figure and attached soul. This is a real masterpiece of art! It is also my protective statue." !"

Peter opened his arms, as if enjoying the applause of the audience, but what Roja and Noelle could hear was the screams all over the studio. Countless ghosts seemed to be wandering in the dark, accusing the inhumanity of the owner here. act.

Peter breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his condition had improved a lot. He turned his head and glanced at the two pale children, almost laughing out loud.

After all, he is a little devil, with good words, and he will immediately reveal his original shape when he is scared.

The killer in his heart beckoned lightly, and the portrait of the Virgin Mary with seven orifices completely crawled out of the frame, floating around the man's body.

"Your Highness, you should know that the two of you together are impossible to defeat me. If you insist on not doing anything but making an enemy of me, then I don't mind adding a portrait of an angel here."

Peter stared coldly at Noelle's blue pupils, and said viciously:

"Yes, if you are used as raw material, blood is used as red and black, bones are ground into powder as white and yellow, and real angels are used to draw angels, it will definitely be a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, maybe even let me directly Promoted to source level 3."

"Of course, if you change your mind and stop protecting that brat now, then my thoughts may be ruined. After all, I don't like too many people dying in the studio. One person's paint is enough, and you can automatically Leave and return to a safe environment."

Peter looked down at the ten-year-old girl, waiting for something with the corners of his lips curled up. He spent so much time talking with Noelle, it was not idle. In fact, he was provoking her. This child is not a fool, she should understand the strength In the end, the choice is made under the dual effects of fear and reason.

He has tried this method countless times. Many people's mental defenses are not as indestructible as imagined, but they just haven't found a suitable method. Now, Peter is attacking from two routes of reason and emotion.

But unfortunately, he didn't get what he wanted after all, what was passed on to him was not the girl's compromise, but the ridicule.

"Benevolence, kindness, and justice, these are the family mottos of Heathcrete, and they are also the goals that must be adhered to in our blood. You don't even know these things, and you still want to use my flesh and blood to paint?"

"You villain, do you think I will be afraid of you? I may die, but the blood of our family will not be cut off. One day, Heathcrete's sword will pierce your throat! The innocent who died in vain will be rewarded Rest in peace, the living will also find peace, justice may not be here at this moment, but it will come eventually, you demons and heretics will only end in perdition!"

The girl stared at the enemy unyieldingly, and the determination and firmness in her words deeply shook Roja's heart. At this moment, he felt that Noelle seemed to be a real angel. No compromise.

Noelle and Roja were confronting Peter, while on the other side, Holy See John was also communicating with the vice president of Mithril Priory.

"We will leave the Church State according to your will, and we will guarantee that the Priory will never appear in the Church State's sphere of influence again, and we will provide you with information on the eleven targets on the annihilation list."

The gentlemanly man respectfully told John about the conditions offered by the Priory of Mithril for this negotiation, from ordinary relocation to the provision of information on other cult organizations, to the containment of potential threats to the Theocracy. Die-hard allies generally talk.

The white-haired old man was silent listening to the other party's words, and after a long time asked faintly:

"So, what do you want?"

"It's not a big deal." Lakas said lightly: "Just please stand by and watch this incident."

ps: there is still in the early morning

Chapter 67 The Way of Justice (2k5)

In the empty hall, Lakas' words fell to the ground, but what awaited him was not an answer, but a long silence. Although this man with gentleman etiquette did not clarify his words, Holy See John understood what he meant. .

After all, as long as he is in the holy capital, it is impossible for any extraordinary person to escape John's eyes and defy his will. He actually knows exactly what is going on in this city. The reason why Ya stayed in the holy capital alone.

The Mithril Priory naturally knew this, so they came to negotiate with John, hoping to obtain his acquiescence with sufficient benefits.

"We will not harm the heirs of Heathcrete. Please rest assured that we are aware of the current situation in the Theocracy. After we succeed, we will have a way to cover it up. Roja Akat will not die in the holy capital. It will become an accident, and the Akat family will never find a reason, so there will be some gap with the royal family."

"If you are still worried, we can even hit Eric's family to a certain extent, and at least we can buy the royal family ten years."

"We are not targeting the Akat family under your protection, but the son of prophecy. The current head of the family, Cartier Akat, is in his prime and is fully capable of passing on the bloodline again. The Akat family will not be cut off, and the balance of power among the five nobles will not be created. confusion."

The humble voice of the vice president of Lakas echoed in the hall. There is no doubt that the Mithril Priory has made sufficient preparations this time. The way they dealt with it is very appropriate, and the impact on the Theocracy will be minimized. Even the church and the royal family are profitable.

As the so-called seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, human instinct is especially true for families. Lacas is more confident in the self-sincere conditions of the monastery. John is the Holy See, but he is also He is the patriarch of the Heathcrete family.

The continuation of a family can never be maintained with a passion. Be rational, calm, and make choices that maximize benefits. Sometimes the price is high enough to even consider breaking up family and friendship. The task of the patriarch is not to take everyone to have fun. Hehe, playing house, all family patriarchs have only one task—to develop and strengthen the family power, and any patriarch who does anything contrary to this is strictly speaking unqualified.

The Mithril Priory's proposal this time can be said to have worked hard in this regard. Heathcrete's deal this time is equivalent to exchanging a reproducible heir from another family for his own family to be stable for ten years. This is a fool They can understand the business, and the transaction with the Mithril Priory has sufficient guarantees, because once the Priory breaks its promise, it will definitely be hunted down to the extreme.

Shaking the Great Holy See? That is something that a cult can never do, because the risk and benefit are completely out of proportion.

The sincerity is enough, and the reasons are also very good, but what makes Lakas a little strange is that the old man named John didn't have much reaction.

The white-haired old man leaned his body on the back of the chair, squinting his eyes like an ordinary old man who was about to take a nap under the noon sun, recalling the appearance of Roja whom he had just met not long ago.

It was a strange boy. Although he was still young, his eyes seemed to be someone who had experienced many things in the world, but he was also a pure boy. He saw John's attitude without flattery or arrogance, and John could feel him. Purity and integrity of heart.

"Caroline Arcat, Vincent Arcat, Roy Arcat, are these names familiar to you?"

The old man pointed out these names that once terrified some people, but now gradually faded and disappeared in the long river with the progress of history, which made Lakas frowned when he heard this. John looked at him with a smile on his face. smile.

"You are afraid of them, their blood, and their spirit. You are afraid that they will bring something from history that you don't want to see, even a child with a prophecy."

"...Maybe it is true, but no more troublesome figures in the Arkat family will not be harmful to you, nor to Heathcrete, will it? Even our interests can agree on this point. "

Lakas' words made John silent for a moment, and the old man looked into the distance, as if he had penetrated the long river of time and reached thousands of years ago, witnessing the ancient contract.

"Heathkrit protects the Akat family. This is an agreement made by the two families at the beginning of the third era. For thousands of years, the Akat family has experienced ups and downs, and Heathkrit has not given up on this agreement. Then I Why give up now?"
