On the History of the Pope's Death

Lucia let go of Arnold's hand and walked out from behind the knights. Her handsome and delicate face did not change the eyes of those people in the slightest.Facing the familiar looking person, Lucia frowned lightly and asked, "Are you the mayor's son?"

When the leader heard Lucia's words, a surprise expression instantly appeared on his delicate face. He glanced at Lucia, then took a step forward, and asked excitedly, "Do you know my father?"

The expression on the young man's face can be described as flawless, but Lucia did not dare to take it lightly. He took a step back cautiously, then took out the staff from the space and held it in his right hand, with a warm and gentle smile on his face , replied: "Yes, we just met the mayor before going up the mountain, and he still misses you very much." Speaking of the mayor, and looking at the young people in front of him, Lucia couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

At this time, the sky was almost dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone faintly on everyone, and the cold wind in the mountains also began to show its power at this time.Standing against the wind, her golden hair fluttering behind her, Lucia, who had already taken off her outer robe a long time ago, was blown by the wind, and she couldn't help getting goosebumps quietly.

Almost as soon as he felt cold, a heavy cloak instantly appeared on his body. When he looked down, it was the black cloak that Arnold had worn before. It seemed that he could smell a faint fishy smell from the clothes at the end of his nose. Sweet, very unique.Turning his head, he saw Arnold standing behind him at some point. From Lucia's perspective, he could only see the side lines of his handsome face, but not his expression.

"Brother, it's windy." A magnetic voice rang in Lucia's ears. The short four words were not even a sentence, but Arnold was able to express a tender and tender feeling, which made Lucia start to doubt Whether my ears are going to be pregnant, I secretly feel that it is a pity that this voice is not going to be a voice actor.

Arnold was taller than Lucia, so his cloak was draped over Lucia, making Lucia even thinner.Standing behind Lucia, Arnold smiled and looked at Lucia's back with incomparable satisfaction. My brother is now wearing his clothes, which are stained with his smell...

"Sir, sir..." The mayor's son interrupted the interaction between Lucia and Arnold.After Lucia and the others focused their attention on him again, they asked, "Sir, is my father okay?"

Only then did Lucia realize that the matter had not been resolved, she gathered the cloak on her body, rubbed her fingers unconsciously on the staff, and said with a smile, "The mayor is fine, but I am just worried about you, and I have been looking forward to your early recovery. go back."

The young man also showed a longing expression on his face when he heard the words, as if he really missed his old father at home.After a while, he looked at Lucia with a hesitant look in his eyes, and then he said embarrassedly: "My brothers and I got lost in this mountain forest and couldn't get out. I don't know if I can go with you. Walk."

Lucia looked at them without speaking, and all the knights behind them also frowned.Arnold stood at the back, looking at the group of people opposite with deep eyes. He didn't feel any aura of dark magic from these people. He walked gently to Lucia's side. Although he didn't move, he brought Lucia into the within the scope of their own protection.

Lucia usually didn't wear clothes of other colors except white, but he suddenly put on a black cloak, not only did not change his warm and clean temperament, but it stood out more against the black background, so that he suddenly raised his head towards the person opposite. With a friendly smile, one would think that he would agree to their proposal.

Just as the young man raised his lips slightly and was about to walk over, Lucia's faint voice sounded, "Let's go separately." The foot that had already been stepped was abruptly retracted, and the young man's face was full of pain. The smile disappeared in an instant, and the anger and shame of being played by others could still be seen in his eyes, but he concealed it very well in a blink of an eye.

The four people behind him looked at Lucia with unfriendly eyes, and one of them, who looked younger at first glance, stepped forward to look at Lucia, and said in a sharp tone: "These people look like noble nobles, how could they want to be with us?" What about these low-status civilians? And judging by their appearance, they are probably lost, and they can’t get out by themselves, let alone take us out..."

The young man's words gradually lost their voice under the young man's eyes, and he muttered softly, "What I said is the truth." Although the voice was small, everyone present could hear it, and after finishing speaking, he reluctantly backed away. in the team.

The young man bowed to Lucia with an apologetic face, "I hope you gentlemen will have a lot of adults, and don't care about like children. I apologize to everyone on his behalf."

He didn't stop until the person had said almost everything, and there was no look on his face that he really thought that what the boy said was wrong.Seeing that it was getting dark and the dark mage hadn't been found yet, Lucia was impatient to deal with these people anymore, "There is no need to apologize, I think what he said is quite right, we are indeed lost, but we don't intend to Go out now, if you want to go out, it's better not to follow us."

Seeing what Lucia said, the young man looked like he was not willing to enter, and he made up his mind not to let his team join them. Are you going together?"

Lucia shook her head slowly, and replied calmly, "Sorry."

Just for a moment, the gloomy expression on the young man's face changed back to his original gentle look, he stood aside, and said to Lucia: "This matter is difficult for us to think carefully, please go away."

Lucia smiled politely, exchanged glances with Arnold, and then led the crowd past the five of them.Just as Lucia walked in front of the young man, a small bead was blessed with wind magic and shot towards Lucia quickly.It's just that when it was about to reach Lucia, the space in front of it was distorted, and the thing that was supposed to shoot at Lucia suddenly shot in the opposite direction towards the boy who had spoken in the group of five.

The knights behind Lucia reacted and quickly stepped forward to block Lucia behind them.And those five people didn't expect that there was a space mage among Lucia and the others, so the boy was hit before he could dodge.What's weird is that after the bead hit the young man's forehead, it slowly melted into his body.

In just two or three seconds, the bead completely melted into the boy's forehead, and there was no trace of it anymore. The moment the bead touched him, the boy's expression became dazed, as if he had lost his mind. It was like a soul, and his eyes were empty. It was not until the beads completely melted into his body that his expression gradually returned to normal, and there was a radiance in his eyes.

Seeing the series of changes in the boy, others may not know, but Arnold has already understood what the dark purple bead is.The puppet bead is a magic weapon refined by the high-level demons with their own blood. It is generally used to control subordinates or servants. Once the puppet bead is hit, although it will still retain its own memory and thinking, it will never violate it again. the master's will.

Of course, there is no cure for the puppet beads, as long as the person controlling it is killed.
