On the History of the Pope's Death

As the sun gradually rises, the fog in the mountain forest thins a lot, but it can only guarantee the visibility of about two meters, and only the outline can be seen vaguely if it is far away.

Lucia walked up the mountain according to her vague memory. Strangely, she didn't meet any monsters along the way, and she didn't even see some low-level monsters. Except for the sound of the wind blowing leaves, the only sound left was the footsteps of their group.I still remember the time I came with Arnold more than ten years ago. Although the woods were very quiet, it was not as deadly quiet, as if the air had frozen. Such an environment made people's nerves tense stand up.

Lucia has always maintained a high degree of vigilance, and due to nervousness, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on her palms.

"Brother, don't worry."

Arnold's calm and calm voice sounded low in Lucia's ear. When he turned his head, he saw the pair of crystal-clear tea-brown eyes, which seemed to have a soothing magic power, and just looking at them could make him feel anxious. disappeared without a trace.At this moment, Lucia suddenly felt that his eyes were really beautiful, even if they were not his favorite black.

Feeling that beauty might be in the eye of a beholder, Lucia turned her head away with some reddened ears, but he didn't realize that his tense face had relaxed a lot at this moment.

Although Arnold didn't speak anymore, he kept paying attention to Lucia's expression.When he saw his pale pink ears, he unconsciously curled his lips and smiled happily, and his brother's state was indeed relaxed a lot, which showed that his behavior had a great impact on his brother. There was a deep smile all over the eyes, and the already bewitching eyes seemed to be rubbed into starlight at this moment, making people addicted.

The thumb rubbed gently on the back of his brother's hand, feeling the warm and cool touch of his brother's skin.The overjoyed and excited mood made him uncontrollably eager to do something, he quickly leaned over, pressed a kiss on his brother's cheek, and then quickly backed away.

Lucia, who was attacked by surprise, turned her head and stared at the instigator in embarrassment, but the latter smiled as if nothing had happened, and pulled him forward.There were so many people following behind, Lucia was not as shameless as Arnold, he was holding back his words, and in the end he could only squeeze Arnold's hand hard to give up.

Since the line of sight was not clear, and everyone's minds were basically focused on the mysterious surroundings, Arnold and Lucia's show of affection was not even noticed by Alves, who was closest to the two.

A group of people stopped and stopped, because the journey was too smooth, so they had already climbed halfway up the mountain in only half a day.After a short break at noon, everyone decided to continue walking up for a while, and if there was nothing to gain in the evening, they would quickly return to the same road.

After walking up for another hour, a path suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.It was obviously surrounded by white mist, and it should be a mist two meters away, but the road was clearly presented in front of everyone's eyes, as if someone put it there specially.

Lucia and Arnold looked at each other, then turned to Alves behind and asked, "What do you think?"

Alves raised one eyebrow a little viciously, and replied with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Since someone wants to invite us over, why not?"

Lucia already knew that Alves was so courageous, but Lucia couldn't help but laugh when Alves was so aggressive.He suppressed a smile and said with a serious face as much as possible: "Then let's go."

None of the three were hesitant, so they immediately led them up the path.When a group of people walked on this road, the white fog retreated to both sides of the road as if consciously, covering the surrounding scenery.

The road is very long, as if it has no end, and in it, it seems that there is only such a road left in the whole world, and there is no other.The people who followed this time were all tough-minded people, no one gave up or feared, and everyone walked forward in silence, with a firm light in their eyes.

I don't know how long it took to walk, but when Lucia felt her legs were a little sore, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of her that was dazzling compared to the surroundings.

Lucia quickened her pace, squinting her eyes slightly and walked forward in three steps at a time.

It turned out that the end of the road turned out to be a small circular open space.The open space was surrounded by tall and ancient trees, only the place where they were standing was empty, without the shelter of trees, the sun shone wantonly on them, bringing a long-lost warmth.Lucia turned her head and found that the road that brought them here just now had disappeared without a trace.

This miraculous scene made Lucia feel more crisis in his heart. He could feel that the person behind this must not be the dark mage. The dark mage can only be regarded as a junior figure at best.

Looking around, except for the place where they are, there are all towering trees. Lucia just wanted to walk around and check, and found that the open space under her feet was emitting a white gleam, which was not obvious under the sunlight.Lucia felt something was wrong, but it was too late. The white light under their feet seemed to know his intention, and suddenly burst into a much stronger light than before.

Lucia was stunned by the white light and closed his eyes reflexively. When he opened them again, he found himself in a familiar place, surrounded by Arnold who was holding his hand tightly, and Arnold standing not far away. Elvis.

Alves walked quickly to Lucia's side, he frowned and looked around, "It seems that everyone else has been teleported to other places," then said with a wry smile: "Only the three of us were singled out. "

There were only the three of them in the palace-like room. Several silver-white pillars stood in the main hall, engraved with mysterious and profound patterns on them. The patterns that should have looked gorgeous looked dull at the moment, as if they were covered with There was a layer of murky black, which made people feel inexplicably unknown.

The more I look at this place, the more familiar it becomes, but I can't remember where I've seen it before.

"Brother, this is where we were trapped." Arnold saw Lucia's hard thinking, and reminded him.

After Arnold said it, Lucia knew where her sense of familiarity came from.

"Arnold, Pope Lucia and His Majesty the King of Sigal, good day everyone." A lazy and magnetic voice suddenly came from behind Lucia and the others.

Lucia turned around quickly and looked at the person coming warily.The first thing that came into view was the bright red robe that looked like blood. Looking upwards, Lucia saw the man's face. The snow-white to morbid skin set off his handsome facial features, giving people a strange beauty. With the silver hair hanging down the back of his head, the word enchanting was tailor-made for him.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." Lance raised the corners of his mouth and curved a beautiful smile, "My name is Lance Potter." After speaking, he glanced at Arnold next to Lucia meaningfully. .

Lucia and Alves, who heard that person's name, both looked ugly for no other reason. The name Lance Potter is so famous that even three-year-old children on the mainland know who he is.The former demon king who had been eliminated in the legend, now appeared in front of them alive, no matter how you think about it, things will not be easy.

Lucia looked at the person standing on the high platform not far away, and asked as calmly as possible: "What's your purpose?"

Lucia's question made the smile on the corner of Lance's mouth wider, and he walked down the steps, "My purpose?"

"My purpose is very simple, I just want to tell you one thing." Lance replied kindly with a smile on his face.

Lucia looked at him calmly, without any curiosity about what he said in his eyes, because he knew that no matter what it was, it would definitely not be a good thing.

Arnold looked at Lance with deep eyes, and the hand that was not holding Lucia was clenched into a fist. Because of the force, the veins on the back of the hand emerged.Even so, he didn't stop Lance from speaking next.

He was eager to let his brother know all about himself, especially after his brother agreed to be with him, he became more and more greedy and dissatisfied.Gentleness is just his mask, and even the paranoia and possessiveness shown in front of his brother are intentional. If his brother reacts violently, he will retreat. From now on, he will only let his brother see him as gentle, but his brother Accepted, so he began to unconsciously want to expect more.Lance is a good pawn. After getting along with him for a long time, he can easily guess some of Lance's thoughts. He only needs to give a little guidance inadvertently at ordinary times, and he can make everything go his way.

Lance has been cultivating him as his heir, but he doesn't want to get out of his control.First cut off his own wings, so that he has no strength to fight against him, and then remove his own weakness, so that he can not only get a perfect heir, but also get rid of the biggest enemy, killing two birds with one stone.

Things were going well, everything was going the way he had envisioned.It's just that at this moment, his heart still trembled uncontrollably, it was both excitement and fear.

"Why, isn't His Majesty the Pope interested in what I said at all?" Lance stood a few meters away from the three of them, with his hands behind his back, looking at Lucia with a puzzled expression.

Lucia didn't speak, but the defense revealed in his eyes had answered his question very well.

Lance tilted his head and stared at Lucia, like a hunter staring at his prey. His eyes were focused and dark, implying an inexplicable expectation and excitement.

"This matter has something to do with Arnold next to you," Lance said while watching Lucia's reaction, and said maliciously: "I don't know if His Majesty the Great Pope knows that the person next to you is an uncompromising What about the dark mage who doesn't buckle."

Lucia listened to Lance's nagging expressionlessly the whole time, and Alves next to him looked at Arnold in surprise, with scrutiny and suspicion in his eyes.

Seeing Lance's face waiting to watch the show, Lucia said that she just wanted to laugh at him.Brother is a man who knows the plot, okay, brother knew from the beginning that Arnold is from the demon clan, okay, I just don't want to say it out to hurt you.

After confirming that Lucia really didn't react, rather than pretending to be calm, Lance lost the feeling of winning before, and rarely showed a surprised expression, "You already knew? Arnold told you?" Lance As he said that, he looked at Arnold in disbelief. He really didn't expect that Arnold would take the initiative to confess to Lucia.

"You told me." So it wasn't Arnold who told me.

Noticing the disbelief on Lance's face, Lucia didn't bother to explain, and asked directly: "Your goal has been achieved, can you let us leave?"

Seeing that Lucia played cards unreasonably, Lance rolled his eyes and thanked Arnold familiarly: "Arnold, thank you for my physical matter before."

Lucia really didn't know that Arnold actually knew the former demon king, because it wasn't written in the book, but he thought about it for a while, and found it quite reasonable. After all, Arnold also became the demon king later in the book, and it's normal for the current one to know the ex .

Hearing Lance's words, Arnold's first reaction was to look at Lucia. Seeing that there was no doubt or defense on his face, only slight doubts and surprises, he felt his heart hanging high and fell back into the distance, and then felt a huge joy and warmth.

He held Lucia's hand tightly, stared at Lucia's eyes seriously and tenderly, and said in a low voice, "Brother, trust me."

If you don't believe that you, labor and capital, won't stay here and let you hold hands, Lucia complained in her heart, but there was a slight smile on her face, as gentle and moist as usual.According to Arnold's urination, if he doesn't show it at this time, he will probably have to be suspicious, make up a lot of brains, and then successfully blacken it, so for the sake of Chrysanthemum, Lucia solemnly nodded to Arnold, and added it if he didn't think it was enough. One sentence, "I believe in you."

Lucia's behavior gave Arnold confidence, he watched Lucia speak cautiously; "But brother, I am indeed a dark mage."

"Okay, I get it now."

"Brother, don't you think it's unacceptable?" Lucia's calm answer made Arnold a little confused. Why did his brother show so little concern for his identity as a dark mage?Did my brother already know?Who could have said it? Alves glanced to the side. It is unlikely. He still remembers his suspicious eyes before. As for Lance, it is even more impossible. Could it be Shaches... Arnold will be able to Everyone who thought of it thought about it, but still couldn't think of anyone who could know his identity and tell his brother.

After getting along for a long time, Lucia has become more sensitive to Arnold's emotions. One look at his appearance and you can tell that he has started to think wildly again. It is also a troublesome thing for a lover to be too sentimental, sensitive and suspicious!

"You being a dark mage has nothing to do with our relationship, and your magical talent is not something you can decide, as long as you don't use it to harm people." Lucia explained to Arnold in a rare and gentle voice.

If it is said that the Demon Race is a character that everyone fears and everyone shouts and beats on the mainland, then the Dark Mage is actually not much better.Because dark mages are mostly mages who study weird and evil magic, and most of them are evil. Over time, people's cognition of dark mages has become similar to that of demons. It's almost there.

While Lucia's words surprised Arnold, it also made him unable to restrain himself from wanting to rub the person in front of him into his flesh and blood, never to be separated.He took half a step forward, stretched out his hand and hugged him tightly into his arms, with such strength that Lucia felt it was difficult to breathe.

Alves stood not far away and looked at the two people who were embracing each other, with jealousy that he didn't know about in his eyes.But he didn't forget the situation of the three of them at this time, he was distracted and alert to Lance who was in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking, to prevent him from suddenly attacking him.
