Card Alchemist

Chapter 217 Act according to the opportunity

The black flame almost broke through the sky.

The dilapidated church fell feebly to the ground, splashing with bursts of pungent and choking smoke.

The devil's feet are full of corpses burned into coke, and it is impossible to tell what they looked like. However, the exaggerated expression, twisted limbs, and the body almost concentrated into a hemp rod looked at the scalp of everyone present.

The civilians stopped, and they followed the devil's fingers to the 'Star' who had just arrived.

With a 'boom', the oak collapsed. The sky at the top of the church could no longer support its mutilated body. With a huge pull, it groaned and fell to the ground. The charred bodies were immediately torn apart, and they couldn't tell which parts came from their bodies.

"I'm waiting for you." Star, disguised as Kemesle, said in a low and hoarse voice. The voice was not loud, but it spread to everyone's ears.

"Demon, I will punish you on behalf of justice. I swear that you will be buried in the bright sea of fire. I will pin your soul to the confession rack and confess to all those who die in your hands.' Star said righteously. At the same time, he took a step forward. Everyone retreat... I want to fight the devil!"

Star dares to swear that Anthony is definitely a good actor. His speech did not make the panicked civilians hide in a safe place, but instead surrounded them.

"Demon, I'm going to kill you!" An angry man picked up a stone from the ground and threw it away. For a while, the civilians who were begging and cursing rose up and excited.

Star looked at the civilians who were about to drown themselves, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Tonight's action has achieved the effect he expected. It not only removed the archbishop sent by Feigrang to deal with himself, but also created a momentum that suppressed the theocracy and raised his reputation.

He took a look at Anthony, who pulled out his sword with a bang, and took another step forward.

The dark nightmare appeared behind him again, and the whirlpool mixed with black flames slowly wrapped his body.

"What, are you afraid? Do you want to escape like this?" Anthony took a step forward in time and asked harshly.

"If you have the ability, you can chase it!" Star laughed loudly and jumped back on the back of the dark nightmare. The whirlpool suddenly swept in, mixed with a hurricane, and Starr suddenly rushed into the sky.

"Demon, do you think you can escape from Witherspon?" Anthony pulled off his cloak and chanted the spell loudly, and the wind swirled around. The two quickly disappeared into the sky one after the other.

It was not until this time that the East began to turn white, and the crisp sound of chickens announced the arrival of the new year.

The night's shock of the Stone Snow Festival made all the people of Witherspoon like enemies. The devil first broke into the Joan of Arc Hotel and pretended to be a clergyman to slaughter all the nobles in Witherspoense. Finally, he was recognized by the head of the Order of Judgment, and he was killed, and his body was burned on the spot.

However, the devil's companions actually went into the church for revenge and slaughtered all the priests, including the archbishop. The statue of the holy goddess was also deblasphemed by the blood of the devil... But they did not lose hope. In the end, the leader of the Knights of Judgment dared to leave the demon.

He fought with the devil. Although he did not remove the devil's head, he vowed to pull out the devil's soul and nail it to the confession stand!

The name of this nightstar is like springing up in Witherspoon, which is different from the conversation as a after-dinner tea half a year ago... The people have even carried him to the words of prayer before dinner, the same height as the goddess they believe in.

"You are such a demon!" Anthony squeezed the table and whispered. The reputation of the Holy See has plummeted, and your plan has been achieved. So what do you want to do next?"

"Human beings are actually demons!" Star said slowly. In addition to the power gap, desire, hatred, greed... Who dares to say that in history, there is a kind of intelligent creature that has been guided by demons and degenerated more. Have you ever heard of Dwarves grow demon horns? Have you heard that elves grow demon wings? Next, let's take a look at Fergland's reaction. The reputation of the Holy See plummeted. In order to save his face, he had only two choices..."

Star's words stopped, and a cluster of dark shadows behind Anthony gradually became full. The black shadow whispered a few words in Anthony's ear, and then disappeared into the darkness.

"What's the matter?" Star asked.

"It seems that Kemesle is not a calm guy. He dressed up as you last night to kill the city owner of Thunder City. His Majesty was furious and issued an edict to bring you to justice!" Anthony said with a smile.

"The Pope won't agree, will he? Don't be a hawk, and then what? Star casually filled the empty glass in front of them.

"I can't hide anything from you!" Anthony casually drank the wine and said with a smile, "The soul stone of the clergy above the archbishop level is preserved in the Holy See. Last night, ten pieces were broken in a row! What is this concept? The Holy See will not kill so many high-ranking clergy in ten years, but it was all in your hands last night! I bet that Kemesle's action last night must have been noticed by Fergland... He must have guessed your arrangement and plan."

Star laughed twice, picked up the wine glass, paused and put it back. The appearance of Kemesl must have made Fergran have to put up with it. The momentum I created last night has reached a high point, and at the same time, the reputation of the Holy See has also dropped to a low point. Theocracy and imperial power have always been wrong. If Fergland bows his head this time, it will definitely make Roland feel that the Holy See is easy to bully.

"You're right!" Anthony said with emotion. You appeared as the Holy See last night. If you are so ordered to be brought to justice, the reputation of the Holy See will not be restored for at least ten years. Coupled with the empire's blow to theocracy, it is likely that the Holy See will even be depressed in the future!"

"And then?" Star asked.

"You became a cardinal. Feigran called you to go to the imperial capital and be baptized within a month. However, it is necessary to take Kemesr's head as atonement for his sins. So what are you going to do next? Do you listen to the announcement or not?

Star couldn't help raising his eyebrows and using himself as a gun so quickly. After taking a sip of wine, Star shook his head. Listening or not is undoubtedly an unwise choice for the current situation, especially when Kemesul makes do with it and immediately focuses his eyes on himself.

"I can't help it. I have no choice but to go to the imperial capital after honestly killing Kemesle." Star shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Aren't you afraid that they will attack you? Feigrand is not a fuel-efficient lamp, especially in the underground world, he has suffered such a big loss from you. Anthony asked worriedly.

"At the beginning, Feigrand once told me that he had banned the presence of three cardinals at the same time in order to concentrate the power of the Holy See. Now it seems that this is not necessarily a terrible thing. He is nothing more than lifting me from the dark to the bright. In this way, there may be a lot less open knives and guns, but the soft knives and conspiracies in the dark are even more unpreventable. Star took a deep breath. He found that he was involuntarily involved in this inevitable power struggle, and when he realized it, he was already in the quagmire.

But there is nothing we can do, because I have been involved in it from the beginning. In order to live under the whirlpool, I can only keep struggling... or create another whirlpool.

Anthony nodded and asked casually. I think I understand what you mean. You had to jump from the dark to the bright place by Kemesle. Because of your complicated identity, people who want to deal with you must consider other forces. But Roland is different. He is owned by the emperor!"

"As long as you don't make mistakes, even the emperor can't kill me casually. What's more, I'm a magician... The magician has more privileges than the nobles!" Star said proudly. But all this is on the premise of catching Kemesul, an asshole.

"What if Kemesr hides, what should he do?" Anthony asked. As long as he drags it over for a month, he will face the double anger of the imperial and theocratic leaders!"

"I don't think so. The Blood Blade Baron said that they came to me on the order of the Demon King of Fear. And Kemesl's assassination of the important officials of the empire was undoubtedly to let the theocracy conflict with the imperial power... so that the whole continent began to be chaotic. If he really doesn't come to me, then as long as there is news of the death of a high-ranking priest or an important official of the empire after that, it must be what he did.

Stadton paused and then said, "Even if he really doesn't come out, I still have a way to force him to appear."

Anthony nodded. Since Starr was already confident about this matter, he could not continue to ask questions. Then the two of them changed the topic and fell on a more realistic issue.

"What are you going to do about Dihas? Sadek died at your hands, and he will definitely look for the seventh apprentice again. Are we just watching this cancer slowly grow into a threat enough to subvert the whole continent?
