My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 441 You're Too Arrogant, Roland

As the gods departed, the temple where Roland and his companions were situated began to crumble and dissipate.

The god of truth brought Roland the truth and answers he desperately needed, then left behind more questions before departing.

The gods are already in position on their battlefields; the rest is up to the mortals.

Roland turned his gaze to Little Grey, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Clearly... once the God of Truth reveals the solution, this guy really can't die.

Even if she can't break free from control like Kalia, she at least needs to ensure that her main body, which holds the majority of the power, remains sealed.

But how do we find the location of the seal in this chaotic dimensional city of the Papacy?

The only certain clue is that even if the area beneath the Sky Temple is not the location of the seal, there must be a way to control the seal, or a path or something directly connected to the seal.

Otherwise, the powerful figures of the Holy See wouldn't have all gathered in the Sky Temple to meditate.

It seems the approach remains the same: find those saints and cardinals, and then you can find the location of the seal.

We're back to square one...

Just as Roland was thinking this, when the starry sky beside him began to disintegrate and return to its original state, Roland realized that the gods had still given him a gift after they left.

Even though their power is not enough to directly intervene in human affairs.

However, it is not difficult to point out and pave a path for future generations.

After the visions of the temple and the projections of the starry sky faded away, Roland and his companions realized that they had returned to the real world.

The towering Temple of the Azure Sky, which had extinguished all holy light, stood before them at that moment.

The towering gate was not closed; it even appeared right in front of the three of them.

The next moment, a crack appeared beside the three of them.

Immediately afterwards, countless dark, twisted hands reached out from the crack, gripping both sides of it. Finally, these twisted hands forcefully widened and tore the crack open completely, forming a temporary portal.

Then Kalia emerged from the door, her hair a little messy, with beads of sweat wetting her blue hair. It was clear that she had put in a lot of effort to escape.

Obviously, unlike Roland's method, Kalia probably used a brute-force approach, forcibly destroying that dimension and then tearing open a passage back to reality.

"Phew! It was a bit more difficult than I expected, but it feels pretty good to just let loose without any worries!"

"That old man with the white beard really wasn't lying to me. He actually managed to get out by attacking that spot so recklessly!"

Kalia stood there happily talking to herself, her eyes and brows brimming with undisguised smiles and joy, tinged with a hint of madness.

They didn't even immediately notice the three people standing to the side.

"Leah."

Roland couldn't stand the girl continuing to giggle like that, so he spoke up to remind her.

Upon hearing Roland's voice, Kalia visibly trembled violently, then immediately turned to look at Roland: "Roland! You...you're here too...haha, you didn't see me just now, did you?"

Roland sighed. Normally he might have teased Kalia, but he wasn't in the mood for that right now.

However, if she comes out, I can temporarily put aside my worries.

We don't know the current condition of Father Galileo, but considering the security forces around him and his own strength, we don't need to worry too much about his safety.

Since that's the case, I should go and end the calamity in Papal City.

"Lia, you stay outside and protect Little Grey and Suren, I..."

"do not want!"

Kalia looked at Roland with some anger: "Are you planning to leave me alone again and face the danger by myself?"

"I was in an unstable state before, and you didn't want me to come along, so that was fine. But what about now!?"

"I just..." Roland started to speak, but suddenly didn't know what to say next.

Kalia's eyes were slightly glistening, but her gaze and expression were incredibly resolute.

Suren then spoke up, "I'll go too. I'll protect Miss Little Grey. As long as you and Miss Kalia can handle most of the trouble."

"And barring any unforeseen circumstances, there are also twenty-four powerful figures from the Holy See within the Sky Temple. With them there, you shouldn't have to worry about your safety, right?"

Unfortunately, Suren's attempt to ease the tension and offer Roland a way out failed to work.

Both Kalia and Roland simply looked at each other silently, without uttering a word.

However, Suren, who was observing from the sidelines, could see that Roland was now hesitant, rather than the unwavering Kalia.

This guy, who can make decisive decisions most of the time, only hesitates in situations like this.

However, in her opinion, Roland's concern for Kalia was completely unnecessary.

Or perhaps it was because Roland's long-standing role as a protector subconsciously made him uneasy about letting Kalia put herself in any danger.

This is undoubtedly an act of arrogance.

They overestimate themselves and underestimate others.

At least in this divinely bestowed state, in the eyes of Suren, who is no different from a saint, Kalia's strength at this moment is not much weaker than that of the son of the Ash Lord who created the phenomenon and was sealed and suppressed.

Kalia's power didn't cause much of an impact, simply because she was deliberately suppressing it.

Just as she was about to soften Roland's attitude with a slightly more tactful approach, Little Grey, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke up behind her.

"Roland, you're looking down on me."

"You can't protect everyone, and you can't take all the risks on yourself."

"Right now, you're just looking down on Kalia."

"You've always treated her as someone who needs to hide behind you and be protected by you."

"Have you considered her feelings?" "When she wanted to help you, but you refused, did you consider her thoughts?"

No one is born to be protected forever.

"You're just stubborn and arrogant."

Xiao Hui's voice was not loud, and he didn't seem excited at all.

It's like simply stating something that everyone knows.

She stepped past Suren, who was a head shorter than her, and stood in front of Roland, blocking him from Kalia.

Little Grey raised its head slightly and looked directly into Roland's eyes: "Heh, I know you've certainly thought about these questions."

"But in the end, you still want to solve all the problems yourself, right?"

Even now.

Roland did not answer.

But sometimes, silence is also a form of response.

"You can never save everyone, nor can you solve all the problems."

"It was true before, and it is true now."

Little Grey didn't say anything more, but his eyes became complicated. Then, he suddenly burst out with unimaginable speed and rushed into the Sky Temple in an instant.

The sudden change caught the remaining three off guard.

Roland was the first to react. After noticing the subtle changes in Xiao Hui's tone and expression, he became suspicious. However, he did not expect that the other party would suddenly burst out with such speed and plunge into the unknown Sky Temple.

Roland had no choice but to abandon his remaining concerns and dashed into the Sky Temple.

After the two entered the Sky Temple one after the other, Kalia and Suren quickly followed.

Just after the four entered, the towering gates of the Sky Temple, which had been open, slowly closed.

……

……

Meanwhile, Father Galileo, who was conducting archaeological work on the other side, was somewhat excited.

He never imagined he would see scenes from the past in this way.

Although many theories suggest that ley lines record history, special dream magic can project the history woven within the ley lines through dreams.

But this is just a conjecture.

The few experiments conducted in the past three hundred years also lack reliable experimental records.

But everything changed after the Isfar Incident.

This conjecture has been verified.

Even so, Father Galileo never imagined that he would have the opportunity to study the history of Papal City under such circumstances.

Although many buildings in this ancient city have never been demolished, renovated, or even repaired since its founding.

However, there are some things that even someone of Father Galileo's stature could not know.

As a member of the society, his passion for history was also ingrained in his blood.

When I came to my senses and confirmed the timeline through some architectural changes, I started to get excited.

Even as the ashes swarmed towards him, fear and panic couldn't instantly diminish the excitement in his heart.

Especially after several three-meter-tall undead giants, clad in golden light and fully armored, swiftly wiped out all the ashe undead that were attacking them.

"I never expected this opportunity to come like this... In order to stop the disaster in the Papal City, I wanted to do what I could to help, and I actually have the honor of coming to the Papal City in its early days..."

"Could this be a sign from the gods that they have recognized my heroic deeds?"

Father Galileo entered an ancient, three-story spire.

According to the records, this was a secret tower used to store information during the first three years of the construction of the Papal City, mainly containing archives and records for which a suitable storage location had not yet been found.

Moreover, most of the materials are from before and after the establishment of the Papacy.

Because this information was considered unimportant at the time.

Compared to these records, what the Vatican needed to preserve most urgently during that war-torn era were the divine arts, ritual formations, and techniques and spells for using light elemental magic that the Vatican rarely shared.

Galileo knew he had gotten a great deal.

It is unknown whether there are any records in this projected secret archive, or whether those records are authentic.

But he decided to take a gamble.

He will soon find out that he made the right bet.

After asking ten more undead warriors to protect him and having the rest of the undead warriors surround the vault, Galileo entered the vault and opened a rolled-up scroll.

There was only one sentence written on it.

Following the guidance of the King of Men, we will destroy the very skin that our great enemy wears in this world.

[To grant the liberation of death to the old friend of the King of Men.]

But things didn't go as planned. The blessings of the gods couldn't completely kill it; fortunately, it didn't regain its full power, nor did it fully break free of the seal.

Therefore, we were able to seal it with great difficulty within the ancient seal left by the King of Men.

Therefore, we have decided to relocate the headquarters of the Holy See here. We will continuously monitor the condition of the seal...
