Chapter 107 Pope's Green (3)

perfume?

The middle-aged man in a white robe.

The strong smell of perfume even made Ron wonder if the guy had a problem with his sexual orientation. Otherwise, why would a grown man spray such a strong perfume on his body?

But Charlene's words reminded Ron that perhaps there was nothing wrong with the man's sexual orientation, and he sprayed strong perfume on his body just to cover up something.

For example, the smell of a corpse?

There was absolutely no sign of a fight in the room.

In other words, the sixth person and the five old men obviously knew each other, and they all trusted each other very much and did not believe that the sixth person would attack them at all.

The images of five old men, the owner of the potion shop, and middle-aged men kept spinning in Ron's mind.

A clue was rapidly becoming clear.

Ron finally figured out why he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he first saw the middle-aged man. He always felt that he seemed to have seen that face somewhere, but he searched through all the memories of middle-aged men in his mind and couldn't find a matching face.

He was going in the wrong direction.

The middle-aged man was not like any other middle-aged man Ron knew. He was similar to the old man in the potion shop.

It was just because the age gap between the two was too big that Ron didn't think of it at the first time.

Ron exited the room and leaned against the wall in the corridor, staring at the five bodies in the room.

Various images were playing out in his mind, and he tried to connect the clues he had obtained so far...

It was obvious that a mysterious and strange ceremony was being held here.

Ron was not sure about the purpose of the ceremony, but it might be related to him, otherwise he would not have felt that kind of gaze before.

There must be some kind of blood relationship between these five old men with different identities and statuses, otherwise it would be difficult to explain this strange sense of similarity.

If the middle-aged man is really the mysterious sixth person, then there is a problem. The age gap is too big...

Wait a moment.

What if the mysterious middle-aged man was also in the form of an old man when he met the five old men? He only transformed into the image of a middle-aged man after the party was over.

Although this speculation seems a little unbelievable, in this world full of supernatural things, anything can happen.

The mysterious middle-aged man is the murderer who killed these five people. After killing the five old men, he absorbed their lives and even their souls, making himself younger.

This means that the owner of the potion shop should have been killed by this mysterious middle-aged man.

Ron's mind opened up, and all kinds of ideas surged wildly in his mind. Finally, Ron smiled.

He recalled a strange thought that occurred to him when he first met the old man in the potion shop... That old man was strangely similar to Abraham, the old priest of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn.

The most important point is that in Ron's gaming experience, he has absolutely no memory of Father Abraham.

It was as if he appeared out of nowhere.

All the messy clues were finally connected into one line at this time. After a long time, Ron let out a long sigh, with an expression of relief on his face.

A long-held inference deep in my heart was finally confirmed, although only indirectly.

He grabbed another tail of the repairman, and it was a particularly thick one.

Unlike Hermann, who was a minor character who was temporarily called upon, this time, he might be an important chess piece on the chessboard.

"Sharin, I have to say, you are really smart." Ron thanked sincerely. If it weren't for Sharin's casual words, Ron didn't know how much time he would have to waste to connect these messy clues. "Huh?" Sharin looked puzzled.

The woman in a tight leather jacket had no idea why her master would praise her for no apparent reason, but she was still very happy in her heart and smiled foolishly.

"Let's go."

When Ron brought Charlene and Lydia back to the branch of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, Gerald, Irelia, Virgil, Cecilia, and even Seraphina had been waiting there for a long time.

You can tell from their expressions that they are quite worried.

They naturally knew about what was going on at the Sykes Hotel. Plus, Ron had never returned since he left the church, so they were all worried that Ron might have gotten into trouble again.

I wanted to go over and take a look, but the Marquis of York showed up in person and said that someone would take care of things over there.

Christian, the Great Saint, did not move at all. It was obvious that she already knew something in advance.

Seeing Ron return safely, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when he saw Lydia and Charlene behind Ron, the expression on his face couldn't help but become a little complicated.

This prophet is good in every way except that his philandering habit is a little too serious. It is in the late stage and is hopeless. Every time he goes out, he brings back two very beautiful women.

One has a stunning appearance, the other has a hot body.

Irelia puffed her cheeks, but didn't say much in the end. No matter what, as long as Ron returned safely.

Seraphina, on the other hand, looked very solemn, as if she had a lot on her mind.

"Brother Virgil, is there any vacant house in the church that can be arranged for Miss Charlene and Miss Lydia?" Ron asked.

"Of course no problem, it's a piece of cake." Virgil immediately called two nuns and took Charlene and Lydia away.

Lydia looked a little strange. She thought that after Ron made her sign that awful contract, he would make her sleep with him tonight.

This kind of thing is very common in the aristocratic and royal circles. Lydia has some brothers who, after taking a fancy to certain women and buying them, would not be able to resist tasting them that very night.

Ron had no intention of attacking her, which made Lydia feel a little relieved.

"What exactly happened?" Gerald asked in a deep voice after Charlene and Lydia left.

"Just some killers, no big deal," Ron replied briskly.

Gerald could feel that things would not be so easy. The violent impact on the Sykes Hotel could be felt even by the branch of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn.

After a pause, the kind-hearted archbishop sighed and spoke again: "I know that you are a prophet and can see the future, but no matter what, being assassinated is too dangerous. Next time you leave the church, you must bring enough experts with you."

From Gerald's words, Ron could feel the Archbishop's concern.

He also put away the frivolous look on his face: "I understand. I won't take risks again next time."

A smile gradually appeared on Gerald's wrinkled face. He patted Ron on the shoulder without saying anything more. He looked at the night sky above his head with a dazed look, then looked at the quiet Larnaca, and finally let out a long sigh and turned away.

One can imagine the pressure Archbishop Gerald was under during this period. His already short body became even more hunched.

"Were the people who assassinated you from the Spang Theocracy?" Virgil came over at some point and asked in a low voice. From Sister Isaiah and her brother, Virgil already knew that the Spang Theocracy had been collecting intelligence on Ron some time ago, so it was normal for him to have such an association.

Ron nodded, then shook his head: "Virgil, can you contact the Vice Pope Apu Lawn Montgomery?"

"Of course, what's wrong?" Virgil asked a little confused.

"Please send an obituary to Vice Pope Apu, saying that Hell Judge Issa accidentally discovered that assassins from the Spang Theocracy had sneaked into Larnaca and tried to murder the prophet while traveling in Larnaca. In order to protect the prophet, Hell Judge Issa bravely attacked despite the enemy's large numbers and eventually died a heroic death. The prophet is safe and sound under the close protection of the Great Saint Christian. Please don't worry about him."

Virgil was so smart that he understood what Ron meant in an instant. The expression on his face was particularly wonderful. After several seconds, Virgil couldn't help but sighed: "You are really vicious. This time, Apu will be so angry that he will vomit blood."

"But if you do this, you will completely offend the Archdeacon."

"Does it make any difference?"

"You've already killed his son, it seems like it really doesn't make any difference." Virgil grinned, he felt more and more that accepting Ron as his brother was the best decision he had ever made in his life.

If it was an enemy, he might be pissed off like Apu.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Shaking his head, Virgil no longer hesitated. He put a hand on his ear and began to try to contact Vice Pope Apu through special message magic.

Message magic can be used to communicate over long distances, with effects similar to those of a telephone.

But it's more complicated than a phone call.

As for the phone, as long as you remember the number, you can call it anytime where there is a signal.

However, message magic requires face-to-face authentication in advance. Only after the authentication is completed can long-distance communication be carried out by consuming magic power.

…

The headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn.

Although it was late at night, Vice Pope Apu did not rest.

He was flipping through a document in the library, and his face looked very solemn.

There was something that was very difficult for him to talk about, which was that he went out for some fresh air on the pretext of being drunk at his wedding and had an affair with his first love in the garden. He was discovered by his new wife Christiane, and then... he lost the symbol of being a man.

His beard is pasted on.

Apu could not forget how painful it was when the symbol of masculinity was crushed by high heels.

It was only because Christian didn't want to cause chaos in the Church of the Goddess of Dawn and didn't want to become a widow right after getting married that he was kept alive.

After that, Apu worked desperately to climb up, chasing power and strength. I don’t know if it was because he no longer had that thing, he would no longer be affected by lust and could focus all his energy on practicing. His strength began to grow rapidly.

At the same time, his power became increasingly greater, and now even the Pope has been sidelined.

However, that kind of emptiness cannot be filled no matter how much power or strength one has.

Without that thing, he would always be an incomplete existence and a laughing stock in the eyes of those who knew him.

But recently, Apu has seen hope.

He heard that there was a way to make the broken beads grow again.

In order to find the detailed secret recipe, Apu spent almost all of the past two days in the library. After reading countless books, he finally found it.

keel!

Grind the dragon bones into powder, mix with some special materials, and make it into a magic potion to drink, it is possible to eradicate the roots and regrow them.

Before, the dragons suppressed the world.

All the dead dragons were buried in the Dragon Valley. It was extremely difficult to obtain dragon bones. But now, the dragon race has perished, and the Dragon Valley is full of dragon remains...

The only trouble is that the turmoil in the Golden City has not yet subsided, and it is still a bit dangerous to go there now.

When the Golden City is no longer restless, he will definitely go to the Dragon Valley.

While calculating in his mind, Apu was eating the rice in the bowl... That's right, Apu spent the whole day in the library.

At this moment, my ears suddenly felt itchy.

Apu was slightly stunned and put his hands on his ears. Soon, Virgil's voice came. In Apu's eyes, Virgil was still his own.

After all, it was Virgil who saved his only son from the so-called prophet when he was in mortal danger for the first time.

Apu did not see the scene where Father Alec was stabbed in the heart by Virgil. When Apu attacked Ron, Virgil and Seraphina were blown away in advance and did not see anything.

However, as Virgil's voice gradually entered his ears, Apu's expression became more and more ugly...

"ah!"

Suddenly, Apu roared and slammed the bowl in his hand on the table.

Issa, the judge of Hell, accidentally discovered that the assassins of the Spang Theocracy had sneaked into Larnaca and tried to murder the prophet. In order to protect the prophet, Issa finally died heroically? The prophet was safe and sound under the close protection of the great saint Christian? Provocation, this bastard Ron was deliberately provoking him.

Christian's personal guard? What an ambiguous description.

This must be because Virgil was concerned about his own feelings and was embarrassed to say it too clearly, so he could only remind himself in this obscure way.

Virgil is really kind-hearted, and he is worthy of being his most loyal subordinate.

Close guard?

I'm afraid that even when Ron didn't need protection, this pair of dogs would still be close to each other, right?

Thinking of the scene he had seen through the magic mirror before, Apu became more and more convinced that Virgil was implicitly reminding him that his wife was having an affair with another man.

His wife, Christian, was now enjoying herself under the man who had killed his only son, being extremely shameless and wanton... Various images kept playing in Apu's mind, and the images were getting worse and worse, more and more obscene! One was roaring, and the other was screaming.

The depression and anger in Apu's chest became stronger and stronger, and more and more crazy.

After a few seconds, Apu could no longer bear it. He felt his chest suddenly contract, and his mouth spurted out a mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound!
