Santo Lorraine is as quiet as ever tonight, the early winter night wind blows on the heavily guarded palace, the cold wave is filtered by the warm heat, but the black-haired boy still feels an inexplicable coldness in the meeting room next to the throne. meaning.
Noelle... is angelic
Slowly chewing the words of Saint John, the expression on the face of the black-haired boy gradually stiffened.
Although Roja is still not clear about the meaning of so-called angelization, it is obviously not a good thing from the reaction of Holy See John. On the other hand, in Shia, most of the things that are far from the nature of human beings are promoted. In the case of failure, is angelification also similar to this meaning
"Grandpa John, what is the so-called angelization..."
"You can understand that that is the difficulty that our Hizcrete bloodline will inevitably face when promoting. It can be said to be an obstacle that must be broken through, or it can be said that it is a variable that must be controlled."
The white-haired old man said so, and gave Roya a rough explanation of the principles and difficulties of the bloodline promotion of the Hezkrit clan, and also explained the contradiction of strength in Shia.
As a family with the blood of angels, the Hezkrit family's bloodline promotion is to some extent purifying their own power to approach the oldest form, that is, angels.
As the right and left hand of Shia in ancient times, the strength of the angel can be said to be a well-deserved god. After countless years, although Shizkrit has become the administrator of the Holy See by virtue of his legacy, he still has a great influence on his own power. The exploration has never stopped.
"For hundreds of years after the establishment of the Holy See, the subject of Hizkrit's research has always been how to increase strength as much as possible during promotion, and to be as angelic as possible. After all, stronger blood can bring us stronger strength. In order to resist foreign enemies, in that chaotic era, everyone has a desire for strength far beyond the previous ones, because that is necessary for survival."
"At that time, Hizkrit believed that the power of angels was a huge treasure, which could be digged and used infinitely. However, with the accumulation of related spells and secrets, the development of blood in the family gradually matured, and huge hidden dangers began to be gradually exposed. That is, the irreversible reaction of angelization.
According to Saint John, when the concentration of the blood of the angels reaches a certain level, there will be a kind of power against the guest in the promoted blood. It can also be said that it is a backlash of the blood, that is, angelization.
Angelization sounds like the end shape of the angel’s bloodline. In fact, it is true only in terms of bloodline purity, but it is a pity that this so-called angelization does not become an omniscient and omnipotent god, nor does it become an ancient hope. Elegant messenger, but a runaway of power.
"The promotion of the blood of Hizkrit is, to a certain extent, a game with oneself, spirit and power, or in other words, one's own humanity and divinity from angelic power."
"Divinity?"
"Yes, that is the influence of the angel's power. Everyone's situation is different, but it is especially strong for that child."
The white-haired old man sighed and told what happened during Roja’s absence. In fact, shortly after Noelle arrived in Santo Lorraine to start treatment, an accident that no outsider knew about happened. The bloodline power broke through the boundaries, causing a short-term angelic state and falling into a runaway.
Due to the presence of Saint John, the riot was quickly quelled without any casualties. However, in the course of the fight, Noelle’s strength and strong murderous aura made this one of a hundred years old. The Holy See was secretly alarmed, and quickly adjusted his response measures.
"Noel has gone to Tuck Fortress."
"Hey? Fortress Tuck?"
"Yes, the angelization of the blood of the ancestors is much more serious than I thought, but the restraining effect is limited, and it must be cathartic to a certain extent. Only heterogeneous people can bear such a task."
"So, it's no wonder there have been no letters."
The young man who heard the explanation of Holy See John suddenly understood the reason why Noelle's letters had been absent for so long.
Noel is different from him. Traveling almost never stops. The information exchange on the east side is inconvenient. It is normal to not receive letters on the way to the Tuck Fortress. As for the handling of Holy See John, Roja Also understand very well, and have a lot of associations.
Obviously, the most suitable place to deal with this impulsive killing is the battlefield, especially the alien battlefield, because if it is a war between humans, cruel killings will often bring stigma. For Noel, the future Holy See For the successors, the importance of fame is self-evident, and if you accidentally kill the soldiers, it will be a big problem.
But in the battle between two different races, letting go and killing doesn't matter, because no one will sympathize with aliens, and there is no concept of surrender on the battlefield of aliens.
In fact, there is probably no one in this world who knows Noelle’s bloodthirsty better than Roja. In "Eye of the Recorder", one of Roja’s deepest impressions is that Noelle stands on the Dead Mountain. There was a murderous smile at the top of the blood sea. In the past, Roja meant that it was due to Noelle's character, but what I think about it now is actually wrong.
Shaking S and bloodthirsty look similar, but in fact they are completely different concepts, such as the attitude of girls towards Roja. Although Miss Angel has been flooding with XP, it has never hurt Roja, even So protection, so it seems that Noelle's bloodthirsty in "Eye of the Recorder" may be a means to fight against his own angelization.
However, unlike in the game, Noelle’s situation in reality is much worse. Not only is the speed of extraordinary power progress faster, but even the bloodline promotion is advanced. Under the influence of these two aspects, her runaway goes again. How far will it reach
Luo Ya, who was worried in his heart, frowned, and the white-haired old man's eyes flashed when he saw this, and only after a while he made up his mind and said:
"Actually, Noelle told me not to tell you about this matter before leaving, but as an elder, the first thing I must consider is her safety, so I called you over."
"Grandpa John, you mean..."
"Well, this is a request from Hizkrit. I hope you can go to Tuck Fortress."
"!"
In the room, the white-haired old man made a request in a calm but solemn voice, and Luo Ya couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.
Although under the political system of Shia, the king in peacetime cannot force the great nobles of the Akat family to do anything, but even so, the word request does not appear frequently in the royal family, let alone the Holy See. John himself.
Roya was shocked by the white-haired old man's words for a moment, and reflexively wanted to agree, but when the words came to his lips, there was a question in his heart.
"Grandpa John, I personally want to visit Noelle very much, but in terms of extraordinary abilities, I seem to be unable to provide her with any help. She didn't want me to know about this before. Will meeting suddenly be exciting? To her?"
"Well, it is indeed possible in this regard, but even so I still hope you can meet her, because you are the anchor in her heart."
"anchor?"
"Yes, on the one hand, the way to resist angelization is to vent one's own power and consume divinity, and on the other hand, it is to strengthen one's own humanity. You are special to that child. Of course, Kain is also one of Noelle's anchors, so I let her go to Fort Tuck."
"However, unlike Kain, who is related by blood, you and Noel’s bloodlines are more closely aligned. This short blade of the saint can prove that Noel’s bloodline was promoted too early this time, and the risk is Unknown, your existence may play a vital role."
"That's it, I understand."
The black-haired boy nodded after hearing the words of the Holy See. As a symbol of the church, John could not leave the capital to accompany Noelle to the east. So it is indeed the best choice to take care of Noelle as Cain’s father. , And he was the last weight John found in case of accident.
Roja thought for a moment to sort out the situation, and then he agreed to go to Tuck Fortress. The white-haired old man was relieved to see this and told the boy's future arrangements.
Although Roja himself has the will to go to Tuck Fortress, as the heir of the nobleman of St. Mestre, he must notify his family. On the other hand, going to Tuck Fortress also requires certain preparations and escorts.
Since the promotion of Noelle’s bloodline is currently classified, Roja’s departure naturally cannot be said. For this, Holy See John has adopted the old method, which is to let the most trusted referee serve as the guardian and the specific executor. It is the director Hanks, of course, Roja's own guards can also follow.
Roja is naturally grateful for the fact that Holy See John sent Hanks to protect his safety. After all, this is already the highest lineup of covert operations to some extent, but for the attitude of Earl Hanks to him, Roja has some doubts.
"Grandpa John, did Earl Hanks have something unpleasant to happen to the Acate family? I always feel that he is a little wary of me."
"No, he doesn't have much contact with your family. Hanks is wary. It should be the infidels you lead that made him feel uneasy."
"That's it, I understand."
Roja, who finally knew the reason for being alerted, nodded. There was no good solution to this matter. The pagan army was loyal to him, and Roja would not disband him if he said anything.
I am afraid that the atmosphere of this journey will not be too good.
Roja, who was so sighed in his heart, left after negotiating some details with Holy See John, and looking at the leaving young man, some different colors flashed in the eyes of the white-haired old man.
Noelle, as the rare blood of Hizkrit, has been deduced in detail since the birth of his extraordinary power growth in order to prevent accidents. The bloodline promotion, which may be life-threatening, is even more important. The most important thing is that when he was a child, the Holy See's prediction of Noelle's growth was always accurate until he was nine years old when Noelle met Roja.
That time the young angel and the teenager entered the historical fragment together and suddenly promoted to the silver bloodline. This situation exceeded the expectations of the Holy See. In the following years, Noelle's growth rate began to deviate more and more from the track. , This time he was promoted to Golden Bloodline, a whole year earlier than predicted.
There is no doubt that this change must have something to do with Roja. It’s just that the blood of the Acate family is promoting Noelle’s growth, or is it because Roja and Noelle’s encounter changed something, this The question Saint John is not clear, but there is a little old man who understands it well.
That is, since the first meeting, their destinies have long been connected.
"May Shia bless you."
The white-haired old man said this while looking at the direction Roya was leaving, and closed his eyes to pray for the safety of the two children.
-------------------------------------------------- ----
After the conversation with Saint John was over, Roja stayed in the holy capital for several days to make various preparations and write letters to Kadia.
If you are going to the front line, you need to report to your home even if you are not on the battlefield, and the most important thing is to follow the journey to the east, and add time to accompany Noelle. It is estimated that it will be next year. .
It’s the first time for Roja to be separated from her relatives for the New Year. Fortunately, Kadia is still enlightened. After knowing the details of the matter, she immediately wrote to agree to Roja’s decision, and asked to maintain the two. The alliance between the family, and be careful about the possible impact of Eric’s family.
According to Cardia’s letter, although Eric’s family has been unable to raise their heads under the alliance between Acate and Hizkrit in recent years, the activities behind them are still very frequent. After all, they are just dormant and waiting for opportunities. Forget it, now Noelle's situation is so unstable, no one knows if Eric's family will take the opportunity to make a small move.
Regarding this point, Roja also knew in his heart that, in the original history, Eric was an anti-thief, and the current Patriarch Brian is an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years. If this is not in collusion with the cult, then he It is better to believe that the sow will climb the tree.
It is necessary to be vigilant, but the departure now is a bit embarrassing for Roja, because it is not only Noelle who wants to be promoted to the bloodline, but the teenager is also in a state of waiting for a breakthrough.
After thinking about it for a while, Roja decided to take more radical measures, loading a large number of books into the car, and still keeping the curse power active on the way, if there is any sign of breaking directly on the spot.
Regarding Roja’s behavior, the three heathen leaders including Cynthia felt very uncomfortable, and they all said they were too risky. After all, source level 4 was promoted to source level 3. This leaping difficulty can never be promoted to gold than Noelle. How can you be unprepared if you have a small bloodline
Ordinary transcendents arrive at this level, but when there is a little movement, all resources are basically thrown in. Whether it is medicine or secret arts, even the environment is striving for perfection. I can’t wait to bathe in incense and build a board, sit on it and eat the incense and wait. Soar.
Can Roja change here, actually want to break through on the carriage? Isn't this the antenna for the robbery, for fear of death not fast enough
"Master Saint, break through this kind of thing. I think it might be better to break through under the care of Lord Marquis when we return to the territory."
After several considerations, Rodney, Wood, and Cynthia, who were worried and eager for the Lord, came forward to speak. The oldest bearded Wood said these words with a shake, and wanted Roja to think about it again, but this time the boy The attitude is very determined.
The Acate family really seems to be a treasured place of geomantic omen, a good place to break through and advancement, but Loya is the awakened bloodline of the Acate family, and the related inheritance has long been cut off. There are not half of the secret arts that can help at home, but they are portable. The system is the main support.
Under this circumstance, where Roja breaks through, the conditions are almost the same, and the teenager has a vague hunch that this journey may not be as smooth as expected. The guards are all external factors, as soon as possible. Strengthening is the right way.
Of course, there is another problem he needs to solve, and that is the judges led by Earl Hanks.
Now, after two hundred years of the Gemini War, there are no infidels among the targets of the Inquisition, but in the Holy See's code, the infidels are not granted legitimacy, and they are in a Schrödinger gray state. In the eyes, heretics may not be bad people, but they are definitely not good people either.
For this concept, Roja knew that he could not change with a few words of his own, so he chose a more practical path.
"Lord Earl, I know that you are wary of me and don’t trust my fighters, but I want to remind you that the place we are going next does not distinguish between Shias and heretics, but only into humans and non-believers. Human beings, in this case, I think we should seek common ground while reserving differences."
"Seeking common ground while reserving differences?"
"Yes, although the beliefs are different, the fighters of our two sides are not completely different in the same way. They yearn for the safety of the journey, avoid fighting alone, take turns to save their combat effectiveness, and finally reach the Tuck Fortress. These are the common interests of both of us. I think this benefit, the differences in living habits, beliefs and customs, can be put on hold for now."
"At least during this journey, I don't want to see two teams that are commanding and guarding each other for a waste of energy. What do you think, Earl Hanks?"
"...I see, seeking common ground while reserving differences, it is true."
Under Roja's proposal, Hanks finally put aside some guards, led several senior judges and Roja and others to form a unified command system, and promoted the idea of seeking common ground while reserving differences.
A week after meeting with the Holy See, a mixed team silently left Santo Lorraine in the night, looking back at the tall city of angels, Roja’s mind flashed with the moving figure of the blond girl. Missing and silently promised.
Bring her back next time you return, for sure.
