Licinius sat on the chair and raised his eyebrows. "Because of what happened yesterday? That's not necessary. After all, you are the Grand Inquisitor from the Inquisition. Since you are in the Empire, it is natural for us to be responsible for your safety. What's more, you also helped purify General Cyrus who was contaminated by black magic."
Jeanna shook her head and said seriously, "This is not a question of whose responsibility it is. The Rose Sword School, two generations of sword masters are sniping. If it is to kill someone, it is not something that conventional combat power can stop."
Licinius smiled silently.
Indeed, according to common sense, when the two generations of sword masters took action yesterday, no one could stop them.
Within the empire, there is only one visible fighting force, and that is the Director.
He was still a sickly man, dying.
The old dean was once a demigod, but he is now useless and has lost his fighting power.
However, it is said that the old dean blinded the future of Pisen City yesterday, causing all divination and foresight abilities to become ineffective. This did provide the necessary prerequisite for killing two generations of sword masters.
But the real variable is Licinius himself.
The Lord of Annihilation and the Corpse-Eating Ritualist, two evil gods with powerful powers, directly reversed the situation of the war.
"So, how did you do it?"
Jeanna stared into his eyes: "Those are two top warlocks."
"It was just luck. In fact, we took a lot of risks. The two generations of sword masters are indeed very strong. One has a sword of time and the other has a sword of space. It's great that we can survive."
This was Licinius's rhetoric. He first stated that he did not seek credit for his side, and then he was humble, implying that the battle was not easy.
This will make the other person feel embarrassed, and then you can gain benefits in the subsequent interactions.
"Is it?"
Jeanna raised two slender white fingers, with an inexplicable hint of meaning on her lips, and said lightly: "However, according to the Revelation of the Holy Church of Messiah, two top warlocks disappeared last night. The two sword masters are dead, right? They died at your hands."
Licinius’s face froze. What the hell is the Book of Revelation
"Mr. Valerius is still young, maybe only seventeen?"
Jeanna's voice was clear and pleasant. "As an alchemist, it's normal that you don't know much about the world of warlocks and the church. The sixth level is the realm before demigods. Why are they called peak warlocks? It's because their life level has undergone an amazing transformation."
She paused and said, "You wouldn't notice an ant when you walk on the road. But if it's a penis, even if you ignore it subjectively, it still exists. The same is true for this world. As long as you advance to the pinnacle of warlock, you will definitely be observed by Revelation."
Licinius held his forehead and said, "The Book of Revelation, I guess it's also a holy relic, right?"
Damn it, I’m at fault for being young again.
However, when he looked at the interrogator, he felt that she did not look very old.
At most four or five years older than me.
etc…
How come she is a girl and she is older than him
Even Noren is actually a dozen days older than him.
What the hell, a kid driving a big car, damn!
Oh no, strictly speaking it cannot be calculated like this. His birthday is actually counted from the day he started growing up, because before that he was sealed in the petri dish and stopped growing.
Therefore, the real age must be at least several dozen years old.
And his biological age is indeed only seventeen, he's still a kid driving a big truck!
Jeanne nodded. "It is indeed a holy relic of the church system. Besides, there are many other powerful aspects of the Holy Messiah Church. So, Mr. Valerius acknowledges it?"
Licinius tapped the table with his hands and said nothing.
"Last night, you blocked the attack of the two sword masters and killed them. But as far as I know, there is no such fighting force in the Brentanian Empire. Archduke Joachim is guarding the north, and General Cyrus has been sealed by us. Your Majesty would never have taken action last night."
Jeanna said meaningfully: "So according to our analysis, the only variable is you, Mr. Valerius. You are very unusual. We have investigated you. From your life experience in the first sixteen years, the word I saw was forbearance. And your experience after being expelled from the capital..."
She said calmly, "The latent dragon ascends into the sky."
Licinius smiled and said, "Hidden dragon? No, no, no, I am a giant dragon, or an evil dragon."
Jeanna didn't understand what this meant, and thought he was just playing dumb: "It doesn't matter what it is. This time I'm here to escort General Cyrus and discuss cooperation with the Empire."
Li Xini was quite surprised: "Cooperation?"
You know, Your Majesty has just openly challenged the Holy See.
Jeanna saw his confusion and explained calmly, "There are also different factions within the Holy Messiah Church. I am the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition, not the Cardinal of the Papal States. I am also different from the Cardinal of the Ministry of Faith, and I am also fundamentally different from being a War Machine Demon Hunter."
Licinius understood: "You are only responsible for eliminating heretics, right?"
"Yes, in a sense, the Inquisition is somewhat similar to the Administration. Our enemies are not just external. Even if there is corruption within the Church, we will also purge it."
Jeanna said seriously, "The main reason I came this time is because I noticed that a huge force of black magic is expanding in the East Continent. And I want to give you a warning."
Licinius: “Hmm?”
Jeanna continued, "According to Revelation's observations, the rules of the world have changed."
Licinius was startled.
"In the past two months, a total of forty-seven forbidden places in the East Continent have experienced riots, thirteen new forbidden places have been born, and the rules of fifty-four forbidden places have evolved."
Jeanna raised her iron-gray eyes and said, "This is simply unheard of. The last time such a large natural change occurred worldwide was recorded in the ancient demon era tens of thousands of years ago. The revelation His Holiness the Pope received in the Temple of Light is that Doomsday is awakening and the world will usher in a catastrophe."
Li Xini was silent for a moment, then spread his hands: "Are you asking me to save the world?"
Jeanna shook her head. "I'm just telling you the seriousness of the matter. Mr. Valerius, something big is going to happen. Don't you realize that something is wrong with the recent series of events?"
Licinius fell into deep thought. Indeed, it was so.
From the earliest military advisor.
Then come the old aristocrats.
In fact, a series of events are all related to black magic.
It is still unknown what these people want to do and what their real purpose is.
However, judging from the evil gods' attitude towards the Goddess of Light, there may really be something fishy going on here.
"Including your Emperor, he also went to Guangming Tianji last night." Jeanna said.
Licinius's eyes once again showed a hint of doubt.
"It's normal that you don't understand. That's something agreed upon by the demigods of this world. In addition to the emperor of your Brentanian Empire who has to suppress the World Tree, there are many weirdnesses and unrest in this world that need them to suppress, including curbing the expansion of the forbidden land." Jeanna said.
Licinius' eyes flickered. He didn't expect His Majesty to be so busy.
Seeing this, I feel that I mean even more to her.
Even with so many responsibilities, she always puts herself first.
You are worthy of being my wife!
"The cause of the forbidden land is still an unsolved mystery, including the origin of the dark side of the world and the true principle of black magic. From the current academic theory, these three are directly related."
Jeanne stared at him and said.
Licinius felt a little guilty when he heard this.
God damn it, he doesn’t dare to say that he is the current leader of the abyss.
Putting aside the power of the ancient demon king himself, everything he is doing now seems to be repeating the path of that ancient demon king, becoming the master of the abyss and constantly awakening the evil god.
And all this is because of his immortality and the Book of Truth.
But then again, there are far more than four ancient evil gods recorded in the Book of Truth.
There are still many evil gods in this world.
Maybe all their relatives are still alive in this world.
The House of Valerius is a good example.
Including the Xavier family and the corpse-eating sect.
That group of old nobles might have other members who hold this power.
"Eh? If I determine which clan they belong to, and then marry that evil god home, wouldn't that make me directly increase my generation and become their father?" Li Xini found the blind spot again.
In this way, he holds the book of truth and the power of conceptual immortality.
For all the evil gods' followers, this is a dimensionality reduction attack.
If you don't listen to me, I will unplug your Internet cable!
"Oh my God, I'm actually Korean?" Li Xini murmured.
Not only will I unplug the network cable, I will also control your hero to beat you to death!
Imagine that you are in a fierce confrontation with your opponent in the game and have the upper hand.
Then the next moment, nine people come out of the bushes and fuck you to death.
Four of them are your teammates!
"Mr. Valerius?" Jeanne asked suspiciously.
"Oh, nothing."
Licinius collected his scattered thoughts and said seriously, "If you want to find those black magicians, I am willing to serve. After all, they are also parasites of the empire. I can make the decision on this matter alone. But the most important thing is, doesn't Miss Jeanna think that what happened last night is very strange?"
"Before you arrived in Pisen City, the group had already received the news and hired someone to kill you."
He said quietly, "Who exposed your itinerary? Was it someone traveling with you, or someone from within the Vatican? Why didn't the person who was supposed to pick you up come? If it weren't for us, what would have happened?"
Jeanne was in denial and remained silent.
If the two sword masters really met her, she would surely die.
Phyllis alone could fight her on equal terms.
With the old sword master around, she couldn't escape.
“Some of those black magicians are old nobles from within the empire. I originally thought that their hands were limited to the Brentanian Empire and the Kingdom of Loen, but now it seems that I was wrong.”
Licinius looked amused, "It is possible that their hands have penetrated deep into the Vatican."
Jeanna's eyes suddenly became deep.
"That's all I have to say. Miss Jeanna, we can talk about cooperation slowly."
Licinius smiled and said, "And, Happy New Year."

The young officer's back was gradually submerged in the long street.
"Valerius Licinius?"
Jeanne was lying on the iron railing at the edge of the rooftop, her long silver hair fluttering in the wind. The wind blew her loose black sacrificial dress, outlining her graceful and slender figure.
At the stairs, Lista and Alan came out.
"Lady Jeanne."
Lisda hesitated: "Why don't you let me go and apologize to Mr. Valerius?"
Alan was also a little confused.
Jeanne did not answer this question, but looked down at the gold coin in her hand and fell into deep thought: "As you said, his outward character shows that he is indeed very kind."
"It's just..."
She hesitated for a moment. "Is he really an alchemist? When I was talking to him just now, I had a hint of fighting spirit towards him, and then I tossed the gold coin thirty times."
Lisda said blankly, "I met him in Norma City before. There was something strange about his mystery, with a breath of light. At first we thought he had mastered light magic, but then the mystery of him changed many times. He could only be an alchemist."
Only for alchemists would the mystery of their souls be so complicated, because every time they create a new work, their own souls will be contaminated.
Anyone who does not have a talent for magic cannot become a warlock.
But this does not mean that there is no magic in their bodies.
For example, Valerius Elle has a thousand strands of weak magic in her body.
It cannot be increased through magical training.
But one can also become an alchemist to activate the alchemical matrix.
The same may have been said of Valerius Licinius.
