No one knew what Annie said to Saitama, and Shirki didn't eavesdrop. Anyway, she only knew that when the powerful Sir Saitama was kicked over by Annie and sent away, a huge blue figure appeared.
The portal was opened at the palace garden at the top of Falconia City.
After that, of course Shirji hurried back to the City of Holy Light through the portal and met with Gus, Crete and Farnese who had no idea what happened and were still cleaning up the mess in the City of Holy Light.
and others conducted some emergency consultations.
It was a long night, because Shirji had to use all her strength to barely make Gus, Farnese and others believe what she said, and persuade them to do something.
then!
Early the next morning, when the morning sun once again illuminated the city of Falconia, which had fallen into darkness for the first time, when the remaining defeated generals who had barely restored order and were reunited by a certain general gathered in fear at the palace.
When they were about to attack the gate of the fortress to check the situation, what suddenly appeared in front of them was of course the ten thousand elites, that is, the majestic formation of the three heavily prepared legions from the City of Holy Light.
Then, after the remaining defeated generals learned that the 'Eagle of Light' Griffith, also known as the 'Eagle of Darkness' Femont, had been killed, they also learned that the five 'Hands of God' including Femont had been killed.
The Legion of Holy Light was annihilated. After learning that Queen Sharlut also died at the hands of Femont, the man disguised as the 'Eagle of Light' Griffith, those who were already low in morale had no intention of fighting.
The remaining soldiers collapsed instantly.
Some of them may have been unable to accept the reality and fled directly, while others had no choice but to lay down their weapons in frustration and despair and chose to surrender.
In this way, the Holy Light Legion led by the black swordsman Gus successfully occupied Falconia, the legendary thousand-year-old city, with almost no bloodshed, and quickly controlled and restored order here.
Immediately afterwards, almost the next day, they asked the hundreds of thousands of people in the City of Holy Light and the rest of the ordinary soldiers to move here together through the portal.
After all, the world is still too dangerous now, and it will even become more dangerous after the World Tree is destroyed. Therefore, the City of Holy Light is gradually unsuitable for habitation, and they have to give up and enjoy the summons of the enemy openly.
of this thousand-year-old city, and let the flag of the Holy Light fly high at every height of this huge city.
same!
On the next day, in a certain cell in the Falconia dungeon, the two lawless hapless Erica and Insidoro who had the audacity to throw leaflets were finally found and released.
However, when they walked out of the cell and came to the ground and saw the familiar flags flying everywhere, they all looked like they had seen a ghost, as if they couldn't believe it. Just after the two were captured
The bizarre fact that Falconia was captured and occupied by the Legion of Light on the night he was imprisoned.
But whether they believe it or not, what is happening now is indeed the fact that is happening in front of them, and there is no doubt about it!
In this way, although it was a bit dramatic, the Holy Light Legion and their great lord Gus and others settled down in the city of Falconia and began to do the original work of the 'Eagle of Light'
Something that Faith was going to do.
For example: recruit and protect more refugees who can no longer survive in various cities and villages due to the drastic changes in the world, work hard to restore production and farming, expel threatening monsters near Falconia City, and establish Falconia.
A huge ecological circle centered on the city suitable for safe human habitation, etc.
Anyway!
Regardless of whether Guts and others were willing or not, and no matter what they thought, they inexplicably won anyway, and the 'Eagle of Light' Griffith, who Guts regarded as his lifelong enemy, and the Hands of God
, even those apostle monsters, at least most of the apostle monsters in Falconia City were all wiped out.
And the one who destroyed them, according to Shirji, was a guy summoned by Anne wearing a white cloak, yellow tights and a shiny bald head?
And that guy, on the night he defeated Griffith and the Hands of God, had already returned to the opponent's own world. Even if they wanted to express their gratitude or have other ideas, they had no chance.
After that, just one month later, Anne, who was tired of eating, drinking and having fun in Falconia, suddenly left some letters to Shirji, Clete and others, and then quietly left the place she had given her.
I don’t know which world I have gone to to harm others after I have ruined it.
Then, in the third month after taking over the city of Falconia, the Holy Kingdom of Falconia of Holy Light and Magic, referred to as the 'Kingdom of Holy Light', began to officially establish its kingdom, and Gus, the Great Lord of Holy Light, was naturally recognized by everyone.
He was put on the throne.
Because, Gus is undoubtedly the first person chosen by Annie. Whether it is prestige, strength, or the time he has been in contact with Annie, he is the one everyone expects. Whether he wants it or not, he must take that position.
Clete and Shirji became the second and third heirs of the kingdom.
In the future, if the king has no direct descendants, they will automatically ascend the throne according to the code and continue the inheritance of the kingdom, leading mankind to strive to survive in this world filled with terrible monsters, warcraft, undead, apostles and other monsters.
Six months later, as the Magic Academy hosted by Shirji and other witches began to be officially built on the original site of the World Tree, the Holy Light Church was officially announced on the same day.
As a result, Gus, the King and Lord of Holy Light, Grand Duke Clete, Legion Commander Farnese, Legion Magister and the first dean of the Magic Academy Shirji, and Magic Apprentice Erica were all invited.
He went to a gorgeous cathedral in the city of Falconia and participated in the revision of church-related canons.
In the church, behind Gus and others who were sitting on gorgeous chairs in a circle were the priests responsible for drafting the Holy Light Canon. Each of them sat behind a table.
There is a thick stack of white paper and pen and ink in front of him, ready to record the following questions and answers from the attendees and use them to compile the new sacred code of the Holy Light Church.
And those priests in front of them are the old funny priest from Crete and the old priest Hopps from near the border of Foggy Valley. Now they have become the chief priests of the Holy Light Church, responsible for compiling codes, doctrines, and developing believers.
Responsibilities such as training priests and spreading the Holy Light.
Of course, today's question and answer will also be hosted by the two of them, because they were both middle- and high-level people in the former Dharma King's Hall and are very familiar with church affairs. Therefore, it is more appropriate for them to be responsible for all this.
"Everyone, may the Holy Light protect us!"
"Next, I will start asking questions."
"In this sacred place, I hope you can recount the truest situation at that time, because it is related to the compilation of the code and is very important!"
"So……"
"Your Excellency, the Great Lord, what was it like when you first met the great 'Lord'?"
After signaling the priests behind him who were acting as scribes to get ready and looking at each other with the old priest, Old Hopps spoke and asked Gus directly, ignoring the other person's identity as king.
He is commensurate with the Great Lord of Holy Light.
The 'Lord' that Old Hopps asked about is, of course, the only true God that the Holy Light Church has decided to believe in, that is, the one who spreads the Holy Light in this world, defeats evil, and brings hope and light to people.
Little girl goddess——Anne Hastur.
"..."
"First time meeting her?"
Hearing this, Gus frowned slightly and began to think, letting his mind go back to the night when he met a certain troublesome little guy.
"Well……"
"I still remember……"
"It was a cliff, not far from the mountain behind Gaut's house. It was very dark that night, but there were moon and stars in the sky, so I could barely see her clearly..."
Then, Gus began to speak slowly and told the situation at that time.
At the same time, the priests who acted as scribes began to write furiously, recording the situation described in Gus's mouth verbatim.
"She came out of nowhere and said she could answer my questions. She also asked me, 'Do you want power? Do you want to understand the meaning of life?'"
"She said she wanted to do an experiment on me. She didn't mean anything else. She just wanted to see the results?"
"Of course I didn't accept it!"
"At that time, you scolded her severely and called her a devil?"
"In my opinion at the time, she seemed to be no different from those Hands of God, so of course I didn't like her and even took the initiative to attack her."
"pity……"
"I failed and had to accept her holy seal, just like the one on the back of my neck..."
"On that night..."
"I scolded her severely, attacked her, and at the same time attacked those undead monsters..."
"But it turned out that I didn't even touch the corner of her clothes..."
As he spoke, the one-eyed boy's eyes gradually began to diverge, and Gus, who had no focus at all, slowly recounted this incident that no one else knew while recalling it.
"..."
"..."
However, what Gus didn't know was that what he said made the old priest and Hopps feel a little embarrassed.
Ever since, after looking at each other, they also picked up paper and pen and hastily recorded this paragraph:
'That night, the omnipotent Lord came through the air, tested the great lord Gus with his supreme power, and gave the sacred mark with great compassion. From then on, he supervised and led the great lord to become the first saint.
, until reaching Falconia, the end of the Holy Road.'
…
Then, after Gus finished talking about the past, it was Shirkey's turn.
"You ask me?"
"this……"
"The first time I met her was on a battlefield in Dark Eagle Griffith. At that time, I was possessed by a little bird and didn't bother her much, but she followed me unreasonably.
And caught me, and..."
"You spanked me for no reason!"
"later……"
"Later, she said it was for compensation, so she gave me this wand and this magic book. The content on it is one of the magic knowledge that I plan to pass on now."
Shirji didn't hide it. He directly told Anne that she had met Anne and was caught and spanked. Then, as a blessing in disguise, she got the wand and the magic book, and planned to use them in Farr.
He also talked about establishing a magic academy outside Konya, and at the same time determined to spread the magic and spells in the magic book so that humans can survive and protect themselves in this world.
"..."
"..."
After listening to Shirji's narration, the old priest and Hopps also looked at each other, and then the old god wrote the following words on the ground on the pieces of paper in front of their desks:
'On the holy journey...'
'The Lord met the great mage Shi Erji by chance and was very pleased with his talent. He caught him, whipped his skin, tempered his will, and then presented him with a divine weapon and a grimoire. This is the supreme divine favor.'
Immediately afterwards, there are naturally questions and answers and records from Farnese, Crete, Erica and others, and even Yinsi Duoluo and others who have only met Anne a few times, so I won’t go into details here.
.
Because the compilation of the new Holy Light Church's doctrines and codes lasts for a long time, and there is a lot of information and questions and answers that need to be collected. The old priest and Hopps need to compile what Anne did and said from the time she appeared to the time she disappeared.
Everything was recorded and compiled into a book, and finally allowed to be carefully studied and discussed by specialized theological scholars to make the best polish. Those tasks did not happen overnight, and this day's questions and answers were just the beginning.
"Well……"
"Let's get here first today!"
"If you need additional information from the adults in the future, we will visit you again."
"remember!"
"All conversations today are not allowed to be reported to outsiders!"
"Everything is subject to the officially published teachings and legal codes in the future. Remember this!"
After three or four hours of Q&A and recording, I saw that the contents of at least a dozen pieces of paper had been recorded on the table in front of the two of them. Then I looked at the presence of Gus, Shirji, Farnese and others.
After gradually becoming impatient, the old priest and Hopps nodded with satisfaction and prepared to end today's meeting.
"at last……"
"Your Excellency, do you have anything to add?"
But when everyone was relieved and ready to leave, the old Hopps spoke again and looked at Gus, the king and Lord of Holy Light, who seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"..."
Gus opened his mouth and was hesitant to speak. He first looked at his companions present, then at Shirji, Farnese, Erica, Clete, Serpico, Asan, and Yin Si.
Doro, the two elves Yin Barrela and Buck waited for a while before slowly speaking:
"The fate of mankind..."
“Is it really controlled by God?”
"if not……"
“Why can’t humans do things according to their own will most of the time?”
"To this day, I have been thinking about this issue..."
Lowering his head and pondering, Gus looked at the floor and spoke quietly.
"to be honest……"
"I have always believed that demons are evil and chaotic. They are good at disguising, winning people's hearts and tempting people to fall..."
"Griffith, the former 'Eagle Group', that's how he embarked on the road of no return..."
"It was at that time, during the 'moment of etching' initiated by the other party, that brand appeared behind my shoulder. It made me bear heavy shackles and endless curses."
"later……"
"I met another demon. Yes, it's the little girl we just talked about. I'm still not sure of her identity."
"Maybe she is a god..."
"but……"
"Maybe it's another more powerful and terrifying demon?"
"At that time, she answered my question, gave me the brand called 'Holy Light', and made me a double-seal knight, just to let me verify the statement she firmly believed in."
"She said then..."
"'The reason why humans cannot do things according to their own will most of the time is of course because humans are not strong enough'?"
"And he said..."
"'Only when you are strong enough can you control your own destiny'?"
"There is no doubt that the only one who can do that kind of thing and hold that kind of view is the devil!"
"from then on……"
"There is darkness behind my shoulders, and light behind my hands. Caught between light and darkness, I can do nothing except keep moving forward, fighting and doing what she wants."
"I have tried before……"
"But in the end I couldn't resist her..."
At this point, Gus suddenly stopped and slowly raised his head to look at the faces of the people around him who were either shocked, shocked, frowning in confusion, or thoughtful. Then he lowered his head with a wry smile and continued.
Author:
"Today, I finally have to admit that the fate of mankind..."
“You are truly controlled by God!”
"She failed to prove her point..."
"She's wrong."
"And I am the right one."
"You have also seen that even with powerful power, we humans can indeed do things according to our own will to a certain extent, but..."
“Is our ‘own will’ really our own will?”
"but……"
"Having said that, if what happened today is really the wish of her god and demon, maybe I would accept it happily from the beginning, right?"
"she……"
"No, it's her..."
"She is undoubtedly a most terrifying devil!"
"Unknowingly, she corrupted and changed my original thoughts, and made me willing to accept and do things according to her wishes..."
"It turns out!"
"The fate of mankind..."
"It's really under God's control."
"Our thoughts and wishes really don't matter most of the time."
"..."
"Since she made me and everything I am today, then she might as well..."
"Let us chant her name together..."
"Go and believe in her!"
"The incarnation of light and darkness, the supreme existence, haunts the endless darkness, but can bring infinite light, the devil who plays with flames, order and human hearts!"
"or……"
"god?"
Just like that, with a meaningful and bitter smile, and completely regardless of what the people around him thought or saw, Gus directly spoke out the most real and shocking thoughts deep in his heart.
"..."
"..."
After hearing Gus's shocking words, the old priest and Hopps looked at each other. Then, without waiting for Shirji, Farnese and others to say anything, they all stood up and turned around with extremely stern expressions and attitudes.
They shouted at the scribes behind them who were busy writing notes:
"Everyone stop!"
"What the Lord just said, that is, the following paragraph, must not be recorded in any way!"
"Everything that has been recorded must be burned!"
"besides!"
"The content of today's conversation is classified as a top secret of the Holy Light Church and no one is allowed to leak it!"
After finishing the scolding, he watched the clerks throwing some of the papers into the brazier. Hopps seemed not to be satisfied. Then, feeling a little unsafe, he turned around and looked at the attending historians.
Erji asked anxiously:
"Your Excellency Shirji!"
"It is said that……"
"You have a kind of magic called forgetting everything?"
Then, those people said something to Shirji. Gus didn't listen. He just stood up slowly and walked slowly outside in a lonely manner.
"..."
That bastard Griffith was killed by a bald bastard, and he was obviously very unwilling to do so!
but......
There is no point in being unwilling, things will happen after all.
However, fortunately, the little girl told him that existence like the Hand of God and the bald head's fighting style can only be temporarily eliminated. The other party will definitely make a comeback in the near future, maybe ten or eight years, maybe
Is it twenty years?
Anyway, that guy, that Femont, that Hand of God, that Dark Eagle Griffith, and the four guys together, they will still come back.
So, Tags is going to train now.
He wants to become stronger!
He is indeed relatively weak now. He can't even defeat the apostles under those guys, such as Zuo De or the like?
but......
Ten years, eight years, or even twenty years later, that may not be the case!
"..."
After walking out of the church door, he turned back and glanced at an unfinished statue inside with his one eye. After a while, Gus suddenly understood a little bit. He vaguely knew why the guy suddenly summoned the bald head and did all kinds of things.
everything.
perhaps......
That guy, she knew, Gus would definitely not be the opponent of those God Hands, at least not for a long time in the future, so before she left, she deliberately did that and bought him ten or twenty years.
Years of time, giving him the opportunity to prove what she and he argued about that night when they first met?
"Ah......"
"Who controls destiny?"
First, he looked down at his palms and the increasingly bright Holy Light mark on the back of his palms, and then at the blue sky and white clouds above his head. Gus, who was standing at the highest point of Falconia City, finally appeared at the corner of his mouth.
A knowing smile.
"one way or another......"
“Let’s wait and see!”
After saying that, Gus strode resolutely towards a certain place.
He is going to train.
He must become stronger!
So strong that he couldn't even imagine it, so strong that he could surpass that bald man in a cloak!
That was not just for Casca, for everything here, but also for himself!
And then...
He can't live up to that 'devil''s expectations, and he can't let that 'devil' make fun of him!
He swears!
In the name of the Holy Light...
