"His Highness Ferdinand?" The girls on Hearth Island heard the name and asked curiously, "Who is it?"
"I don't know." Ask shook his head. "I heard he was a prince from the Kingdom of Aragon-Castia."
"Oh." The girls nodded one after another, only Mi'er showed a helpless bitter smile.
When she first set out from Valencia City, she sensed that someone was spying on her in some way, so she activated her super destiny ability and observed the world line in detail.
Of course, everything was figured out in the end. The Blue Sword and the Aragonese royal family had no personal grudges, but there were some differences in interests regarding the Bull Mercenaries and the affairs of Lusitania.
However, Ferdinand repeatedly interfered and ended up losing badly. On the other hand, everyone on our side didn't even know that the other side was against us. The difference in strength was so great that it really made people feel a little sympathetic.
Poor, Ferdinand, so miserable.
Since the other party had been defeated miserably, Mi'er was of course too lazy to tell everyone about this. She just casually told Shirley about it and asked her to notify the demigods behind the other girls to deal with this jumping around prince.
As for the girls' focus, they have already jumped to the next progress.
"Asker, have you mastered the skill of 'Provocation'?" Sheila asked.
"Yeah." Ask nodded. With the help of the Plantagenet mercenaries, he finally completed the last bit of accumulation that day and successfully advanced to Lv.19.
Only one step away from becoming a demigod.
"That's great." The girls said this against their will, looking at each other, but their expressions didn't show much celebration. Especially Medea, the haze in her eyes was as heavy as the dark clouds before a storm, almost dripping with cold water.
"It doesn't matter. Progress is not important. Let's keep working hard and strive to become demigods soon." Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, Ask thought that the girls were sad because they were left behind in level, so he comforted everyone with kind words.
So the girls all showed forced smiles on their faces.
Just like that, no matter what thoughts everyone had in their hearts, whether happy, sad, excited, or frustrated, Ask and Peggy's deification ceremony would finally begin today.
…
Solomon City, Vatican.
In the past six months, the overall direction of Giotto's bell has been unstable. Sometimes it moves forward for a few minutes, and sometimes it moves backward for a few minutes, which makes the believers in the square extremely excited. The stone slabs are covered with old bloodstains.
Fortunately, if we ignore the tiny disturbances in the short term, the overall trend of the doomsday countdown is just a linear acceleration, and there is no sudden jump of 2-3 hours of terrifying shock phenomenon as before.
As the Giotto Bell swung back and forth frequently, the cardinals began to complain more and more about His Holiness. Although the BI data department didn't say it, everyone knew who was tormenting their chaotic algorithms and fragile nerves.
On the other hand, every time the clock got closer to doomsday, Bishop Varian's tone at the cardinals' meeting became more aggressive, with an arrogant attitude of "My sister is R4, if you don't listen to me, I will ask my sister to destroy the world", which made the other bishops very depressed.
