The Bull Chieftain was so huge that he could easily turn the carefully manicured garden into a mess just by moving.

Xilin said somewhat embarrassedly:

"I, I'll find a way to compensate you."

Rudelson's expression was very calm: "It's okay, I'm mentally prepared."

The bull-headed chief on the side was howling.

The sound was so loud that Louis felt his head buzzing.

Xilin turned to it and said, "Don't be so loud. Be quiet."

The ferocious-looking bull-headed chief suddenly became gentle, lowered his head and approached Xilin.

Rudelson: “It’s incredible…”

"Besides, aren't you afraid?"

Louis glanced at the knights who had gathered around him, and they all looked nervous.

Xilin smiled with an indescribable maternal smile: "No...they are the ones who understand my inner thoughts best in this world."

Hearing Xilin say this, Rudelson showed visibly jealousy.

Louis was also surprised.

He knew that patients with genius had enough control over the miracles they created, but not to the point of being like Xilin, who was close to dominating.

Rudelson said curiously, "Xilin, there are many monsters in the north, why do you want to draw the Minotaur Chieftain?"

"ah!"

The girl exclaimed, and shyly put her hair back.

"I want to help you. If you draw the Minotaur Chieftain, maybe you can find its weakness..."

"Are you angry?"

Rudelson covered his head and said:

"I am indeed angry."

Xilin said softly:

"I know, but I still hope you can defeat the monster quickly and safely."

"Xilin, your body is already very weak, there is no need to sacrifice for others."

"No...it's not someone else, it's you."

"What did you say?"

Rudelson's ears twitched slightly.

Xilin smiled somewhat sadly:

"Rudelson, if I can help you, when everything is over and we part, can you give me a hug?"

If I could feel your warmth, maybe leaving this world wouldn't be so sad.

"Am I too greedy?" Seeing Rudelson's silence, she said, "Just for a moment, just as a farewell."

She said it cautiously, like a thief who sneaked into someone else's house and took a treasure that was too precious for her to ignore.

Time began to speed up again.

A certain pastor whom Rudson called a freeloader was sitting in the living room, watching the two of them:

"You mean, you created him after only seeing him once, and he hasn't disappeared yet?"

Bishop Tut's eyes revealed surprise, but also sadness:

"It's the world's luck, but it's yours..."

He didn't continue talking, but changed the subject:

"It can be confirmed that this is the highest level of genius disease, and it is a creative power on the same level as the legendary [Beauty of the Blade's Tip]."

"This is the rarest and most powerful miracle."

“Whether it exists on the mainland or not, as long as you have seen it and understood it, you can create it.”

"Even if it's creating life..."

"Of course, this is an ancient record in the Church of Love. I have never actually seen it."

Louis could feel that Bishop Tut's expression was darkening.

Obviously, he had just been convinced that Miss Xilin was heading towards death at an irresistible trend.

When the memory reaches this point, time begins to accelerate again.

Even with Rudelson's company, Celine couldn't stop painting.

All I can say is that she has become a little more restrained.

Occasionally, time would speed up and stop, and Louis could see that Xilin was becoming more and more haggard.

And Rudelson was increasingly unwilling to accept this fact.

He began to try to carry out further research.

Louis saw the manuscript of "The Book of the Dead" on his desk.

Obviously, he has begun to compile the "New Book of the Dead" based on the records in the "Book of the Dead" left by the demigod wizard Andrew.

It was the "New Book of the Dead" that marked the beginning of the future chaotic world.

Finally one day, when time stopped, Louis saw that Celine fell ill.

On this day, Bishop Tut, who had been rescuing Xilin, found Rudelson with a pale face.

"My condition is getting worse. I'm sorry, but this is the limit I can do."

Rudelson's expression became more painful: "Is there no way to save her?"

Bishop Tut shook his head and said, "All we can do now is to prolong our lives. Maybe..."

He glanced at Rudelson hesitantly, "Rudel, as a good friend I must warn you. You are embarking on a path of destruction."

"Disturbing the boundary between life and death is a great taboo in this world."

"I don't want you to go down this path."

Rudelson looked at him desperately: "Are you going to let me watch her die quietly?"

Bishop Tutt was silent for a while, finally sighed, and said nothing more to stop Rudelson.

But judging from his expression, Louis didn't seem to think Rudelson could create such a miracle.

Bishop Tutt said, "We can't leave Miss Silin here any longer."

"Rudelson, if you want to keep him alive, you need to use the secret method of the Church of Love."

"Go find His Holiness!"

"Curing genius disease has been the long-cherished wish of the Church of Love for many years."

"Ms. Xilin has become famous in a small circle now, and His Holiness the Pope will not be willing to let such a top artist die easily."

“It is our duty to protect art and love.”

Rudelson seemed to have found a life-saving straw and shouted:

"Where is he now?"

Bishop Tutt said: “His Holiness the Pope is currently visiting churches in the City of Art.”

"You know, the City of Arts itself is one of the areas that the Church of Love values ​​most."

Rudelson nodded.

The Church of Eros's pursuit of art is extremely fanatical, even a little extreme.

Throughout history, there has never been a shortage of believers in love who have lost their lives to protect artists and their works of art.

This is also the reason why Rudelson did not refute when he heard the bishop say that the Church of Love was willing to fully support Xilin.

"It's ridiculous. I don't want Xilin to continue painting and waste her life."

"But her only chance to stay alive now is earned by spending her life to spread her paintings far and wide."

Bishop Tut patted him on the shoulder and said, "Believe in the Pope first. Someone like Miss Xilin has a status in the church that is no less than that of a saint."

“He will definitely try his best.”

Louis felt bad.

There must be some problems within the Church of Love now.

In the Republic of Tunisia, it was revealed that the dark side of the God of Love was absorbing the faith of the God of Love.

Beatrice was basically certain that the belief in the god of love had begun to deteriorate.

It is even possible that the Church of Love has begun to be corrupted by the belief in the dark side of Love.

I'm afraid that if I go there this time, something big will go wrong.

But he was also very curious about how the dark side of the god of love developed in that era more than 100 years ago.

However, no one knows when the dark side of the God of Love began to spread the faith in the world.

The only thing that is certain is that it won’t be for long.

The fact that the believers of the God of Love are still so sensitive after hearing this rumor fully proves that the time is not too far away.

After all, this succubus joke doesn't have the power to spread across hundreds or even thousands of years.

Even Teacher Kino once used this joke to anger his wife.

From this we can see that this joke has probably only been circulating for about 100 years.

Could it be...

Did the dark side of the God of Love begin to grow explosively only after what happened to Ms. Celine?

Perhaps this dream can help him solve many doubts.

Soon, time began to speed up again, and even the location began to change.

It was obvious that Rudelson and his group had left Byron County.

When time accelerated and stopped, Louis found that the surrounding scene had turned into a city of art.

He subconsciously looked up and looked around.

After a moment, he wiped his eyes, feeling that something was wrong.

He had never wandered the streets of the city of art.

Why do I feel like something is out of place when I see the City of Art?

Soon he found the source.

He looked towards the city center with a puzzled expression: "Hasn't the incarnation of the god of love brought the city of art yet?"

He was flying in the direction of the local Church of the God of Love.

In the rest area behind the church, Xilin was seen surrounded by the bright light of the statement.

A middle-aged man was looking at Rudelson with a sour face.

Rudelson seemed a little puzzled.

Bishop Tutt pulled his clothes and whispered:

"Don't talk to the Pope. He doesn't like any necromancers."

Rudelson didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Although the Necromancer did not have a very good reputation on the mainland, I didn't expect that even the Pope-level figures would hate him so much.

Bishop Tutt said: "Your Holiness is from the Kingdom of East Monet."

As soon as these words were spoken, Louis beside him understood instantly.

More than 100 years ago in the Kingdom of Monai, whether in the East or the West, the reputation of necromancers was not very good.

Because the Midgard Serpent blew up the capital of the Kingdom of Monet, the country was split into two parts, and a thousand years of war began.

In order to engage in an arms race, both sides consciously allowed the development of necromancers.

As we all know, if there are no restrictions, it will inevitably lead to the disorderly expansion of some forces.

Eventually some groups will always suffer.

Over a hundred years ago in East Monet, the necromancers were so rampant that they ruthlessly summoned the ancestors of the people as if they were consumables.

There are even cases where necromancers have targeted top talents and are trying to turn them into undead.

This situation lasted until about 100 years ago.

Because the Eastern and Western Monaco kingdoms ended the arms race in the face of external crises.

Then, after several decades of development and incorporation, the relatively stable and controllable Necromancer Legion was formed.

Anyone who could become the Pope a hundred years ago must have been born before the era when the chaos gradually subsided.

It's even possible that he was a victim of the era when the Necromancer was at his most rampant.

No wonder the Pope's face turned pale when he saw Rudson standing aside.

But he still didn't dare to let Rudelson out.

In other words, after seeing Rudelson's sad look towards his lover, he could only sigh.

"I hate Necromancer. If possible, please stand behind me and watch your lover."

"Don't stand in front of me and disgust me."

The disgust in his words was undisguised.

Louis could even smell extreme hatred.

But even when his emotions were so out of control, the Pope did not kick Rudelson out.

Louis remembered the creed of the Church of Love that his wife had mentioned to him when he went to see her.

That's what she said:

"We respect all those who dare to protect love. The kindness in their hearts, as long as it is guided in a positive way, will become the motivation to help others."

“If a person cannot love themselves, or even others, it is hard to imagine that they will become guardians of order.”

That's what Louis asked: "What if you really hate someone but he meets your definition of maintaining love, what will you do?"

The Master’s wife’s answer was:

"What else can I do? I can only turn my head away and try not to be blinded!"

When the teacher's wife said this, she looked at Teacher Jinuo with a displeased look.

I don't know who she is implying. But Louis really didn't expect that even the Pope, who hated Rudelson so much, would still put aside his prejudice for the sake of the relationship between him and Celine.

No wonder men and women in love have such a high degree of recognition for the Church of Love.

The Church of Eros is not bad.

Soon the light of the magic gradually dissipated, and the frowning Xilin's expression improved a little, but she still didn't wake up.

The Pope did not turn around, but said to Rudelson with his back to him: "Damn it, why did you wait until now to bring her here?"

"I can only barely extend her life, damn necromancer, you really don't understand the genius disease at all."

"Tut, you too, you should have brought her here earlier."

Bishop Tutt said helplessly:

"Ms. Silin wanted to be with Rudelson during her last years, and we couldn't refuse her."

The Pope was out of breath, beating his chest and stamping his feet, saying:

"Don't you know that after you bring them here, you should reunite them properly?"

"At worst I can just cover my eyes and not look at this damn necromancer."

Rudelson stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, no matter how you punish me, please help me, help me keep her alive."

The Pope said angrily: "Do you need to tell me?"

He had his back to Rudelson the whole time he was talking, and he obviously felt that his eyes would explode if he looked at him any longer.

"You don't need to beg me. Saving her is what the followers of the God of Love should do."

He deliberately walked around the room half a circle and walked out with his back to Rudelson.

Louis wanted to laugh when he saw this.

This Pope is more childish than an elementary school student when it comes to doing some things.

Well...more mature than college students.

Rudelson sat in front of the bed and looked at Xilin quietly for a long time. He turned to Bishop Tut and said, "Tut, please take good care of her for me. I have to leave for a while."

Bishop Tutt paused for a moment and said:

"Where are you going?"

"Go to Tino City and meet the Emperor."

Louis, who was eating melons on the side, was stunned for a moment.

Meeting the Emperor? Did the Mad King still have a connection with the Emperor? No, I should say, what was the situation with the Mad King? How could he be qualified to meet the Emperor?

This is not something an ordinary noble can do.
