Chapter 462: Sister and the Former Saint (10,000)
In the church, the sound of rustling was echoing.
Facing questions raised by various forces, Karem answered every question. It seemed that he had already rehearsed them many times in his mind, and he could give answers to every question in the shortest time possible.
After the doubts in everyone's mind were resolved one by one, the reception hall fell silent again.
These people are not stupid, and they have basically figured out the current situation. Simply put, by absorbing the power hidden in the left arm of the last Twilight King, there is indeed a chance to become a destructive-level powerhouse, but the success rate is not guaranteed at all, and the mortality rate is extremely high.
In this case, these people have to think carefully.
Although they want stronger strength, greater power, and longer life, few are willing to give up everything they have now in exchange for that hope that may be less than one percent.
"Everyone, let's discuss this carefully."
Karem's voice once again rang in everyone's ears.
"Everything has been fully disclosed to you. I think you all have the answer in your mind as to where to go next. Ron is now in the royal city. Although there is no movement for the time being, who can guarantee when this guy will go crazy?"
"Everyone here, more or less, has some grudge against Ron. You don't want to be killed suddenly by Ron, right?"
"We must act as soon as possible. I will only give you half an hour to think. After half an hour, those who do not want to take risks can leave on their own. I will not stop you."
"But please keep it secret and don't tell anyone else what we talked about tonight."
"For those who are willing to stay, we will set off immediately to the seal under the Church of Nature's Heart."
No one responded.
But the reception hall was disrupted by rustling sounds, and people from all forces gathered together, whispering to each other.
Half an hour passed quickly, and in the end no one chose to leave, and everyone stayed.
After all, the temptation of destructive power was too great, and none of these practitioners could withstand such temptation.
Although Karem had anticipated this result, he was still quite satisfied with it. At the same time, the first batch of people who would absorb the power of the left hand of the Last Dusk King had already been selected from various forces.
There is no doubt that the first few people were naturally the ones who explored the way.
If the results of these few people are good, the people behind them will probably follow suit.
If these people end up in a very bad way, those who are still alive will have to think carefully and may even change the decision they have made now.
On the church side, it is naturally Ashburn who will appear, which had been decided long ago.
And, this is what Simmons strongly suggested... In Simmons' words, what if Marcelino is the first one and he is lucky enough to succeed?
Marcelino, who has become a master of destruction, will definitely kill Ashburn first. He will not give Ashburn a chance to succeed. After all, Ashburn is still strong and will have many sons and daughters in the future.
For the safety of future generations, he would definitely eradicate Ashburn.
When Ashburn thought about it carefully, it really made sense. After all, if he really succeeded and became a destructive master, the first people he would kill would definitely be his father... and mother.
These two hateful guys, don’t think they don’t know that a new life is growing in the mother’s belly.
On the Copperfield family side, the fourth son Rooney came on the scene.
The fourth brother is a stubborn person. He is only interested in two kinds of existence in his life. One is nuns... In this respect, he is somewhat similar to the blasphemer Archibald. The other aspect is strength.
It can be said that in the Copperfield family, Rooney is the one who is most crazy about pursuing strength.
In Karem's words, this is obsession!
The stronger the obsession, the higher the success rate.
As for the royal family, Holt the 474th was originally prepared to try it himself.
He thought that he was a very special being, blessed by heaven, and that even if he failed, he should be able to keep his life.
However, Holt's proposal was rejected by Barumonger.
Although Barumong is a little slow, he is definitely not stupid.
Holt now depends on him, but if Holt's luck turns out to be off the charts and he becomes a destructive-level master, it is possible that he will be killed in the return fire, so he absolutely cannot take this risk.
He chose one of his three brothers and named him Bertrand.
This is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties. He has maintained a very good figure without any signs of gaining weight. He has a handsome appearance and the temperament of a mature man. To some people who are obsessed with older men, he is absolutely charming.
However, he was always shrouded in a gloomy and sad temperament, as if his wife had been abducted.
In fact, it seems that there is not much difference.
This brother, known as a love saint among the royal family, is also a rare talent.
When he was young, he fell in love with a woman. Unfortunately, the scene of Agulal slaying the dragon at night was too cool, and the woman was deeply attracted to Agulal. She eventually married Agulal and became one of the women around Agulal.
From then on, the brother never married and practiced hard, just to one day be able to snatch his beloved woman back from Agulal, even if that woman had become an old woman.
This obsession is definitely deep enough.
Sometimes, Barumong couldn't help but suspect that the reason why this brother had such a deep obsession might not be because he cared about the woman. After all, the woman was now hunchbacked and had wrinkles all over her face. What Bertrand really cared about might be the fact that his beloved woman was robbed.
Looking at the three people who were chosen, the smile on Kareem's face grew wider.
This is obviously a church and Marcelino is the Pope, but Karem behaves as if he is the real owner here.
Holding a magic wand that was more luxurious than the Pope's scepter, Karem stood up from his seat. The original teasing and frivolous expression on his face disappeared at this moment, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity and greed in his eyes. With a wave of the scepter, Karem shouted in a low voice: "Gentlemen, let's go!"
"Let's go." Ron stretched and said.
Beside her is the little queen of the elves.
Mirabelle.
Although Mirabelle was physically and mentally exhausted after a whole night of tossing and turning, her strength was still good and her recovery ability was quite excellent. Moreover, there was still a magical power left by Elsa in Mirabelle's body.
The power of life.
This ray of divine life force may not directly improve Mirabelle's strength and realm, but it will definitely improve her recovery ability.
In fact, Mirabelle's body had recovered long ago. She just liked the feeling of sleeping peacefully next to Ron.
Stretching her arms slightly, Mirabelle changed into a light green dress.
Maybe it was because during the time she was with Ron, she no longer had the original pressure and her life was pretty good. Mirabelle also gained weight. She was no longer as slim as before, but became plump and more feminine.
Mirabelle had no doubts about Ron's arrangements, and she didn't mind following her lover to do anything.
A wide silver belt cinched her slender waist and showed off Mirabelle's exquisite figure. After the Elf Queen had packed up, the two left the hotel and walked quietly towards the direction of the Church of Nature's Heart.
Da da da da…
A burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps came from the front.
After all, the Theocracy of Spang is not as wealthy as Granville. Although the living standards of the upper class people are not much different, there is a big gap in various public facilities. The royal city of Granville is full of street lights, and it is still brightly lit even at night.
The conditions are not so good here. Once it’s late at night, the whole world is dark.
Especially today.
The bright moon hid in the clouds, thick dark clouds rolled in the night sky, and the whole world was shrouded in a gloomy, depressing and restless atmosphere.
The city was extremely dull, without a single light, and it was pitch dark.
Even though Ron and Mirabelle both had very good night vision, at this moment they could only glimpse two hazy outlines, one in front and one behind, walking towards them.
The person in the lead was tall and seemed very anxious, and her hurried footsteps sounded particularly messy.
The figure behind was a little petite, like a ghost, floating gently on the ground without making any sound.
Ron stopped, Mirabelle stood beside him, waiting quietly. After a few seconds, two figures finally walked in front of Ron.
The person in the front was a woman, tall and with a not very delicate face, but she had a heroic demeanor that was completely different from that of ordinary women, with short hair and a refined and capable look.
Especially the pair of long legs, which are particularly eye-catching.
The high leather boots made a clicking sound as they stepped on the ground.
This woman is Vera.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
She is considered Ron's sister, although they have basically no blood relationship.
Speaking of which, the current situation between the two is somewhat awkward. In name, Vera is Ron's sister, but they have no blood relationship; on the other hand, Ron is the son of the murderer of Vera's father.
However, this messy situation did not seem to have much impact on the two of them. Neither Vera nor Ron took these things to heart.
However, when Ron saw Vera again, he frowned. It was only over a year, but Vera had changed a lot... Her talent in cultivation could only be considered excellent. She was still far from being described as gifted, brilliant, and extraordinary. Now she could only barely reach the heroic level.
However, compared to Vera's strength, Ron cares more about Vera's current appearance.
Over the past year, I don’t know what kind of pressure Vera has been under, but she has lost a lot of weight.
You know, the original Vera was a typical sunny and fit girl.
Hot, lively and full of youth.
If you tie a T-shirt around your waist and get a slightly darker tan, you'll look like a lively hot girl.
Especially that pair of plump and round long legs, which are simply charming enough to kill people.
But now Vera has lost more than two inches of weight. Her eye sockets are deeply sunken, her long legs are as thin as two sticks, her skin is dull and lifeless, and she looks extremely haggard.
Even though Ron received a lot of care from Vera when he was a child, this care gradually became less as he grew up. After Ron ran away from home, the contact between him and Vera was completely cut off. But at this moment, seeing Vera like this, Ron couldn't help but feel a pang of heart.
As for why Vera became like this, the reason was naturally the truth that he had revealed to Vera before.
In many cases, the truth may be too cruel for a person.
Ron couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had not told Vera those things at the beginning, perhaps Vera could have lived a happy and fulfilling life?
As for behind Vera, there was a graceful and elegant lady.
This girl was older than Ron and Vera. If Ron remembered correctly, she should be in her thirties or forties this year... However, she looked no different from a girl in her twenties. Time had left almost no trace on her body. She was still beautiful and her skin was whiter than snow.
The long golden hair looks soft and fluffy, and even in this cold night, it still gives people a warm feeling, as if it can dispel the coldness around. The little face cannot be said to be beautiful, but it gives people a very comfortable and gentle feeling, which makes people want to get closer.
It is not a magic trick, but it has a more exaggerated effect than a magic trick.
This is also an old acquaintance, the former saint, Kaya.
The original owner of this body was one of the few people who had a say in the Sibon Theocracy.
When Kaya served as the Saint of the Church of Nature's Heart, she was very clear that the position of the Grand Saint would always be hers until Mireya died. Therefore, Kaya never fought for anything. She just stayed in the position of Saint for more than ten years and then retired.
Kaya is a non-competitive person. Her favorite thing is reading, and she is also quite interested in various ancient characters.
It just so happened that Ron was gradually gaining a reputation in the ancient character research circle at that time, and the two of them had their paths crossed. Kaya even often visited Copperfield's house, and they became familiar with each other after a few visits.
In Ron's remaining memories, the original owner of this body even had some vague feelings for the former Saint.
But Ron was not as stupid as the previous owner of this body, so it was impossible for the two of them to be together.
The relationship between the two is more like friends, but that's all. Knowing the plan of the Theocracy of Spang, Kaya can entrust Vera to go to Granville to try to stop it and save Ron's life, but it does not mean that the two have a chance to be together.
After experiencing the plot in the game, Ron knew very well that this Saint Kaya was specially prepared for female players.
That’s right, Saint Kaya likes women.
The thoughts in his mind flew a little far away. Ron's eyes swept from Kaya and Vera, and then returned: "Saint Kaya, and... sister... um, Vera, is there anything?"
Ron still felt a little uncomfortable with the title of sister.
"Huh..." Vera was very anxious. After seeing Ron, she seemed to finally put down some of her worries. She exhaled heavily, and her complexion improved a little. After calming down her violent heartbeat, Vera quickly said, "Ron, where are you going? Church?"
"Don't go there. Leave the Spang Theocracy immediately. It's best to return to Granville directly."
Perhaps because she was too anxious, Vera's voice even became a little sharp: "Now, you can only save your life by returning to Granville."
Ron's eyelids twitched.
Seeing that Ron was still standing there in a daze, Vera became even more anxious. She stamped her feet vigorously and said, "Do you know how many experts have gathered at the headquarters of the Church of the Heart of Nature?"
"There are members of the royal family, masters of the Copperfield family, and countless powerful people in the church. If you go there now, you will be seeking death."
"Also, Balk and Duin are already trying to wake up the ancestor... Agulal."
"Given the relationship between Agulal and Kane, how could he let you go after seeing Kane being chopped into a human stick by you? Although the ancestor is still in seclusion and has not yet woken up, Balk and Duin have left some family members at the door of Agulal's secluded room, constantly trying to contact the ancestor's will. He may wake up at any time."
Seeing Vera's anxious look, Ron immediately understood.
It was obvious that Vera knew some news within the Copperfield family and was worried that she would be in danger, so she rushed to her anxiously and wanted to persuade her to leave this place.
Although Ron was not afraid, it still felt good to be cared for.
Ron smiled gently and spoke again: "It's okay, Vera... Sister..."
Vera saw that she had been talking for a long time but Ron was completely unmoved and didn't show any tension at all. She became furious and even forgot that Ron's current strength was far beyond her reach.
As if she was back in her childhood, Vera took a step forward, raised her hand and slapped Ron on the forehead: "You guy, do you understand what I said?"
"There are a lot of legendary masters in the royal family, several in the Copperfield family, and a lot in the church, at least a dozen in total. I know you have some skills now, but no matter how capable you are, can you beat so many masters by yourself? Do you want to die?"
"Get out of here!" Vera yelled angrily.
Although she looked a little fierce, Vera now looked more energetic compared to her previous haggard appearance.
Ron rubbed his forehead and grinned. As expected of Sister Vera, she hit him with the same force as when they were little.
Mirabelle, who was standing next to him, was also startled. She looked back and forth between Ron and Vera with a suspicious look. Her eyes seemed to be able to speak, as if to say:
Could these two be having an affair?
