The Path of Ascension to the Priest

Ruisi was in a coma, Tang Qiu was the only one left to seal the dark formation, and the progress slowed down instantly, but because three quarters of it had already been sealed, even if the progress slowed down, it wouldn't have much impact.

The situation in the Goss Empire was improving little by little, but without Ruisi, Tang Qiu's tasks became much more onerous, and he could not rest late at night, constantly suppressing the rioting Bloody Swamp.

Irene was wrapped in a black robe and leaned against a bare tree trunk. Although her gaze had been fixed on Tang Qiu who was holding the staff, her thoughts had drifted to nowhere. She had been sealed one by one by seeing the dark formations before. The joy of losing was also replaced by faint worry.

That night when Monica was injured, Reese was suppressing her anger and killing intent. Irene still remembers it vividly. After knowing that Reese had no news, it became even heavier.

The sudden disappearance of Archbishop Ruisi shocked the entire Goss Empire, especially the people of the Holy See. The priests and priests of the Goss Holy See were better. After the panic, Tang Qiu found that nothing happened and calmed down slowly.

However, the team of bishops and priests who came out from the Central Holy See and followed Reith was in chaos, and the chaos was so complete that even the plan to expel the monsters was directly shelved.

Irene sighed silently. It was with great difficulty that the Holy See began to seriously suppress the dark forces. She really didn't want to see troubles in the Holy See at this time.

Exhausted of mental strength, Tang Qiu withdrew from the front, took out a bottle of bright holy water, drank it while glancing at Irene, seeing her sad face, asked with some doubts: "What's wrong with you?"

Irene looked up at her, and said hesitantly, "Holy See... um... is Reese okay?"

When Tang Qiu and Lucille were looking for someone, she didn't follow her, so she didn't know if they had found them, but seeing that Tang Qiu wasn't worried about the chaos outside, she felt that she must have found Reese.

"Race is fine." Tang Qiu put away the bottle of bright holy water, and the smile on the corner of his mouth restrained a little, "but the Holy See is going to be in chaos."

Irene's face fell, and she complained: "Don't mess up, what about the dark formation?"

If something goes wrong at such a time, there is no guarantee that the Black Witch will not come out and take advantage of the chaos to fight back.

Tang Qiu paused while holding the bottle, lowered his eyes slightly, and said softly, "The entanglement of high-level forces in the Holy See is too complicated. It was not easy to unite before, but now that Ruisi has been ignited, civil strife It's inevitable."

The high-level forces in the Holy See are intricate, and even Tang Qiu can't see through the entanglements inside. Being able to suppress the darkness this time is already her best effort to mediate internally.

But Tang Qiu was also very regretful that he couldn't persist until the end.

For Reese, someone staring at Monica is equivalent to someone putting a knife on her neck. Of course, saving "life" is more important than suppressing the darkness.

Tang Qiu knew Ruisi well, and to persuade her to let go of her hatred and focus on suppressing the darkness at this moment was undoubtedly a declaration of breakup.

Moreover, even if Ruisi suppressed her anger and continued to cooperate with the suppression of darkness, the Holy See would not always be peaceful. If Ruisi was not in chaos, there would be others.

Tang Qiu secretly sighed, the Holy See was too corrupted, and it couldn't bear a little disturbance.

The attack of the black witch was a gust of wind, but before the wind could reach the tall building of the Holy See, the Holy See collapsed because of the rot inside.

There were footsteps in the distance, Tang Qiu and Irene turned their heads to look at the same time, and found that it was Phoenix and Karma.

Phoenix did not reveal her identity when she came to the Goss Empire this time, even when she saw that the people under Raise started to riot/chaos because of Raise's disappearance, she did not show up to appease her.

When the two came closer, Karma let go of Phoenix's hand and ran to Tang Qiu's side. Tang Qiu looked down at her and raised his hand to stroke her hair.

"I'm here to say goodbye." Phoenix looked down at Karma, and said softly, "Karma wants to stay with you, can you continue to take care of her, please?"

Tang Qiu nodded happily, and said with a smile, "Of course."

Phoenix looked up at her, and stayed for a second on Irene who was shrinking behind her, and then moved away flatly, "Thank you."

She paused, then asked again: "Is there any news about Reese?"

Mentioning Ruisi, Tang Qiu's expression changed to sadness and worry. She shook her head, sighed and said, "Not yet."

"I sent people to search, but there were no clues. Priest Mario searched all the places where Archbishop Raise might go, but found nothing."

Tang Qiu raised his hand and rubbed between his brows, with a worried expression on his face, "I'm worried that she might have been attacked."

Phoenix was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "...I will report this matter to the Pope when I return to the Holy See."

Tang Qiu nodded and nodded, "It is true that the Pope should be informed, after all, the missing is a red-clothed archbishop."

Phoenix glanced at her, didn't say anything, just raised her hand to put on the hood of the cloak, turned and left.

Tang Qiu watched Phoenix's back disappear until she disappeared, then looked back, handed Karma to Irene, and said in a low voice, "Take care of her, I have something to leave for a while."

As she said that, she turned and left. A few meters away, a red-haired vampire appeared out of nowhere and walked side by side with her.

The two disappeared after a while.

Most of the dark formation was sealed. The Cavaliers of the Goss Empire cooperated with the Holy See to clean up the monsters in the wild and regain the territory. The civilians who survived the catastrophe honestly hid at home. During the day, the streets were so deserted that few people could be seen. , It is even more quiet at night.

Tang Qiu and Lucille walked through several streets and entered a remote manor. The manor was small, and a thick and short tree occupied half of the yard.

Lola put her hands behind her head, leaned against the tree trunk, closed her eyes, and opened her eyes when she sensed the presence of Tang Qiu and Lucille. .”

Tang Qiu took off his hood, smiled and nodded at her, then whispered a few words to Lucille, then turned and walked in the direction she pointed.

Lucille didn't follow Tang Qiu. She looked around and saw that the tree trunk was occupied by Lola. She didn't want to be crowded with her, so she turned around and jumped onto the wall behind her.

The wall was high enough, and the field of vision was wide enough, so Tang Qiu could be seen at a glance. Lucille sat down and stared at the figure of the blond bishop quietly, with a faint wave in her dark red eyes.

The garden in Lola’s mouth is just a small pavilion. There are some messy flowers and plants outside the pavilion, because no one trims it, it looks messy and barren. Reese sits in the center of the small pavilion, wrapped tightly in a large black cloak, The hood covered half of his face, and he was playing with a piece of parchment with his head down.

"The Holy Maiden has returned to the Central Holy See." Tang Qiu went to sit opposite Ruisi, and the table was empty, without the rose tea that was used to entertain in the past.

"What about you? Do you want to continue missing?"

Ruisi raised her head slightly, glanced at Tang Qiu, and said with pursed lips, "Isn't it good that the enemy is clear and we are dark?"

"So, what happened to Monica was really caused by the Holy Son?" Although on the surface, Monica was indeed taken away by the Holy Son, but the letter Tang Qiu received came from Abel , she suspected that Gabriel must have been involved as well.

Of course, given the relationship between the Holy Son and Gabriel, this doesn't seem surprising.

"Even if it's not his mastermind, it still has something to do with him." Reese casually folded the parchment in her hand, her tone was low, "He is the source of everything, and if he lives, Monica will not have a true love." When it's safe."

"Then what do you want to do?" Tang Qiu pondered and said, "There may be people from the blood clan around the Holy Son protecting him."

"Bloodlines?"

"Yes, the Xitai Clan. The Pope's lineage has always had an affair with this clan. The split between the Holy See and the werewolf elves is all related to this blood clan."

Reese frowned, remained silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "I have been with the Holy Son for more than ten years, and I have never seen him in contact with the blood race."

"Oh?" Tang Qiu was stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise: "Is the person connected with the blood clan Gabriel?"

Ruisi didn't know much about the Xitai clan, so she just shook her head to express her ignorance.

"Speaking of Gabriel... this old fox guessed that I was not missing." Reese handed Tang Qiu the freshly folded parchment, and said flatly, "And he thought Monica was dead."

An eloquent page was written on the parchment, most of which were polite words, but some of them read very strangely, as if they were implying something. Tang Qiu read it several times and said with a subtle expression: "He This is……"

Ruisi opened her mouth to complete Tang Qiu's words, "He wants to use me to kill the Holy Son, this person has always been insidious."

Because Monica is fine, she can stay calm and see the trap in Gabriel's letter, but if something happens to Monica...whether I can see this in my furious anger really needs to be said alone.

And even if you can see it at that time, you probably don't care about it.

Tang Qiu squeezed the parchment and clicked his tongue, and said with a chuckle, "What a thought." She thought of something, and shook her head slightly, "It seems that the Pope can no longer threaten him."

Since the death of Cambecas, the pope is like a hunter who has lost his weapon. He looks tall, but he has lost his threat to the beast.

Tang Qiu sent the parchment back, pondered for a while, and said, "Let's join hands with him and try to make a quick decision. Don't give the Pope and the Holy Son time to react." She thought of something, and smiled slightly, "As for what is going on in the end? Whoever uses whom depends on the final result."

"Speaking of which, I still have something to ask Gabriel."

Ruisi raised her eyes and looked at Tang Qiu, and saw that she was smiling gently, her eyes were clear, and she did not show any deep thoughts, so she smiled helplessly, "I will send someone to contact him."

In fact, even if Tang Qiu didn't say so, she still planned to do so.

The two chatted about this matter for a while before they stopped talking. The hood was a bit obstructing the view, so Reese simply took it off and let the night wind blow the hair on the side of her face.

Tang Qiu looked at Ruisi's face and her hands on the table, and the smile on her lips slowly subsided. After thinking for a while, she took out a white bottle from the space gem and put it in front of her, sighing: "No Do you need some medicine?"

The scar looked worse than it had been the day I sent her back.

Monica was so badly injured, she forcibly transferred the injury to herself, and it would be good if she could save her life. How could she be unscathed.

This kind of scar left by the erosion of the power of darkness is the most difficult thing to get rid of.

"It's useless to use the medicine." Reese picked up the bottle and played with it, not paying much attention to it. "It's just a little scar, and the power of light in my body has not been affected."

Tang Qiu took a look at her and saw that she really didn't care, so he stopped talking, "Monica is in the elves, do you want to go see her, I heard that she hasn't woken up yet."

Ruisi stopped the hand playing with the bottle, frowned, and said worriedly: "Are you still awake?"

"Although she didn't wake up, Delphine saw her and said that she just lost too much blood and was still in a coma."

Hearing that Monica was fine, Reese's brows stretched out, and a faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth, "It's fine, just say thank you to the Elf Queen for me."

The next situation will be chaotic. Monica stays in a safe place so that she can focus on dealing with the Son.
