The saint's eyes trembled slightly: "I know."
Of course she knows.
"Carl Black—"
This name not only exists in history books, but is also deeply engraved in her mind.
Even though Carl Black's face had long been blurred, she had never forgotten the name.
No matter in the past or present life, no matter how long it has been.
Because the Saint of the Vatican has never changed, no matter which generation, she is the Saint.
She is Olya.
Olya Eldridge being bullied by Carl Black.
Chapter 100 Seraph
Olya's name in this life is Diana.
When she heard Roberts bring up the past, the scene in historical records where Carl Black bullied her came to her mind again.
There was a hint of helplessness and pain in her eyes, as well as a hint of suppressed anger.
Diana learned etiquette and modesty since she was young. She always hid her emotions well and would not show them easily.
But the strangeness in her eyes did not escape Roberts's eyes.
"really--"
When Roberts saw that Diana showed signs of anger, he felt relieved.
He guessed correctly that the Saint hated Carl Black more than the Pope did.
So he quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "Just yesterday, Carl Black's men broke into the restricted area and were discovered by Klintor, who was on patrol in our family. They threatened Klintor to lead the way and came to the family to find me, wanting to interrogate me about the witch hunt."
"Witch Hunt -"
The anger in Diana's eyes grew even stronger, and she asked Roberts, "Did you tell them?"
Roberts said hurriedly: "Of course not."
"The Floris family is loyal to the Vatican. You know this, Saint. As long as the Vatican gives an order, the entire Floris family will sacrifice for you and the Vatican."
"There is a man in my tribe named Zajik. Your Highness the Saint may not have any impression of him, but what I want to say is,
He was one of the first witch hunters to come into contact with Carl Black, and had died under the Spell of Truth. But even in death, he still had a smile on his face, because he never regretted participating in the hunting movement. Being able to die for the Vatican was the greatest honor of his life.
Roberts said sincerely: "This is the sincerity of the Flores family towards the Vatican."
Diana gave him a warning look and nodded slightly: "Go on."
"You didn't tell him, then what?"
"Based on my understanding of the Temple, they will not give up until they achieve their goal?"
"Your Highness the Saint is wise."
Roberts said, "Just as the Saint thought, these people saw that I was determined and tried to search my memory through the mind spell. I resisted and fought back. I fought with them for hundreds of rounds. Finally, I used the puppet method given by the Vatican to temporarily repel them."
As he spoke, Roberts leaned forward and said loudly, "Thanks to Her Majesty the Saint and the Vatican for protecting us, which saved the Flores family from disaster."
This matter obviously had nothing to do with the puppet path. It was purely the great magician's crushing of those below rank seven. However, Roberts insisted on linking it to the Vatican, and every word he said was filled with gratitude to the Vatican.
Diana didn't know whether to believe it or not, so she asked, "What was the result?"
"Did anyone get caught alive?"
"No."
Roberts lowered his head with a guilty look on his face and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint the Saint. The person who came was too cunning. I don't know what secret technique he used to quietly escape my net. I have ordered my tribesmen to hunt him down with all their strength, but we haven't received any news yet."
Diana raised her eyebrows slightly: "All ran away?"
"Two escaped," Roberts replied. "There were four of them in total, two dead and two escaped."
This is just asking for credit.
It sounds like it was not easy to fight one against four for hundreds of rounds and even kill two of them.
Diana saw what Roberts was thinking and commented calmly, "Not bad."
But there was no other statement.
Roberts thought that killing two people was not enough, so he added, "Your Highness, I suspect that one of these four people is Carl Black himself."
Diana changed her previous indifference and stood up: "Are you sure?"
Roberts:
How can this be certain?
Today's empire has entered the post-Erudito era. Hundreds of years have passed since the most "glorious" period of the Temple of Truth. There is no portrait of Carl Black in history books. Who knows what he looks like?
He could only guess based on the description in the book: "Carl Black is handsome and very charming. Among the four people, there is a young man who fits this description very well, and the other three seem to be led by him."
Robert paused and continued, "The most important thing is that according to Klintor, this man also knows the Truth Spell. That's why he was defeated and captured by the other party."
Hearing this, Diana's always calm heart finally began to be disturbed.
She murmured: "Young..."
"Jun Lang—"
"The formula of truth."
These three words were like a paintbrush, awakening her dusty memories and outlining the image of a man in her mind. Although his features were still blurry, the contours of his face gradually became clearer.
Diana was almost certain that if Roberts was not lying, this man must be Carl Black.
But the question is, "If he really is Carl Black, how can you still stand here and talk to me?" Diana asked.
As Roberts is the Viscount of the Empire, Diana has a certain understanding of this old man. Roberts's magic power is not strong, only at the seventh level, while Carl Black is above the tenth level. The gap between the two is like a chasm between heaven and earth.
It is no exaggeration to say that in front of Carl Black, Roberts, who is at level seven, is no different from a newborn baby. The man doesn't even need to move his hands, a glance is enough to kill Roberts. Does Roberts still have a chance to fight back?
What a joke.
"Your Highness, please listen to my explanation."
Roberts recalled the scene at that time and said: "Based on the performance of these people, they don't seem to understand the current empire. With Carl Black's ability, this situation should not happen.
A legendary figure who is above the tenth level and can be called a god, even if he has been sleeping for hundreds of years and knows nothing about the development of the outside world during this period, when he wakes up, he will have plenty of means to "get familiar" with the world again.
Times may change, but power remains the same.
If Carl Black still had magic power above the tenth level, then there would be no secrets in his eyes.
You can just search the head of any core member of the Vatican and you will know everything. Why bother going to the Flores family to ask him?
To put it bluntly, let alone finding out the cause and purpose of the witch hunt, even if he bullied this generation of saints again like he did the first generation, no one could stop him.
The only person who could possibly stop Carl Black is the Pope.
But the saint said that the Pope was in seclusion.
Of course, Roberts didn't dare to say this. Exposing the Vatican's scars was a very risky move. And if he used the other party as an example in front of the Saint, then the Saint would not even need Carl Black to come in person to expose the Flores family.
Roberts carefully and cautiously arranged his words, and finally came to a conclusion: "I think that after Carl Black's resurrection, his strength is no longer as strong as before. He is likely to be reincarnated like other remodelers."
Diana remained silent.
From most people's perspective, "reshaping" is the most reasonable explanation.
But only a few people, including her, knew that the possibility of Carl Black's reinvention was very small.
Because in that life, when she and Deilly from the Seraph family worked out the method of "reshaping", Carl Black had been dead for decades, and they were also dying and old, no longer as beautiful as they once were.
Time never spares anyone, and the same goes for the tenth level.
The only exception is Carl Black.
So, not only is the timing wrong, there is no need to reinvent Carl Black himself.
He is already an immortal, why does he need to reincarnate and cultivate again?
“Could it be the path of God?”
Diana was stunned. This was the only reasonable explanation she could think of.
Assuming that Carl Black has indeed lost the magic power of level ten, then there is a new problem.
Diana narrowed her beautiful eyes and asked, "You said you killed two people, including the man who looked like Carl Black?"
"No." Roberts tried his best to show the beauty of language. He regretted, "I pretended to untie him before and explored his magic power. I found that he was only at the third level. I wanted to capture him alive and hand him over to the Vatican and Her Highness the Saint for personal handling. But I didn't expect that his two men fought to the death to protect him and let him escape--"
"Nonsense!"
Diana scolded coldly: "Knowing that the other party might be Karl Black, you still dare to be so careless. Have you lived in vain at your age?"
"If he is really Carl Black, you are letting the tiger back into the mountains. If he causes trouble in the future,
Your Floris family is to blame!"
After just two sentences, Roberts broke out in a cold sweat, and his back was wet.
He felt tremendous pressure.
This pressure comes not only from the saint's noble identity and status, but also from the saint herself.
Roberts didn't expect the Saint to suddenly get angry, so he quickly said, "Saint, calm down. They didn't get away unscathed."
Diana didn't respond, but just signaled him to continue with her eyes.
Roberts said: "Carl Black was stabbed by my puppet string while escaping and was seriously injured."
In fact, the "sunlight" created by Kate was too dazzling at that time, and he couldn't see what was happening to Sean and Elvira at all. When the light faded, the two people had disappeared long ago. But in order to make up for his incompetence, he could only say this.
But lies always have loopholes.
"A great magician can't even kill a rank three wizard, he just injures him---"
"Ha." Diana sneered, "I think you have not only wasted your years, but also cultivated your magic in vain."
“Is it really time for me to step down because I’m too old?”
Robles was sweating profusely and lowered his head in fear: "Your Highness the Saint is right."
He didn't dare to make excuses anymore.
Fortunately, Diana did not pursue the matter further. Her anger came and went quickly. She let go as quickly as she said she would, which made Robert deeply experience what it meant to be moody. This was the first time he reported matters to the Saint. In the past, when the Pope was around, such matters were handled by the Pope. Robert discovered today that the Saint was no easier to serve than the Pope.
Diana looked at him with a meaningful look: "Tell me, what do you want?"
She has always been clear about rewards and punishments. She will punish those who deserve to be punished and reward those who deserve to be rewarded.
There are many people in the Vatican, and their respective responsibilities are clearly divided. She is not in charge of the witch hunt. If Roberts had not come today, she might not have learned so quickly that Carl Black was still alive and had gone to find the Flores family.
Meanwhile, Diana is thankful the pope is in retreat.
Otherwise she wouldn't be able to do many things.
Roberts, who had just experienced the pressure from the Saint, no longer dared to guess Diana's thoughts, so he had to bite the bullet and answer truthfully: "Saint, the Floris family failed in their duty and let Carl Black go. I dare not ask for a reward. I only ask Her Highness the Saint to give the Floris family some small protection because they have been loyal to the Vatican for many years."
This is also the real purpose of Roberts' visit to the Vatican this time.
He wanted to seek protection from the Vatican.
He killed two of Carl Black's men. Regardless of whether the young man was Carl Black himself, he had already offended Carl Black to death. Only the Vatican could protect the Flores family.
"can."
Diana agreed.
This made Roberts breathe a sigh of relief.
And what surprised him even more was yet to come.
Diana continued, "I'll send a rank 10 to help you. Is that enough?"
“Enough, enough!”
That’s simply enough!
No one understood what the three words "Level Ten" meant better than him.
