"Any magic has flaws. There is no such thing as perfection in this world."
Loading the bullet into the chamber, Federico raised his shotgun and aimed it at Arturo.
"Wanted Arturo, you are under arrest."
The white coat around her was rolled up, revealing the slim black uniform underneath. Federico stood only five meters away from Arturo, looking at her quietly.
Looking at this relative whom he had been pursuing for a long time...
"Arturo, I cannot allow any of Lateran's enemies to operate freely and unchecked in the outside world."
"All the crimes you have committed are recorded in the book. Your only and best destination is to return to the Lateran and be judged by the Pope himself."
"Did the old man tell you this?"
“This is not advice, this is a fact.”
Pushing the firing pin on the shotgun back, Federico's red ribbon on his chest became brighter. Behind him, the little black robot was grabbing his coat that was fluttering in the wind, trying his best to keep his body steady.
"Ferdie, I wish you could understand my music..."
Reaching out to tuck his hair behind his ear, Arturo turned and looked at the fully armed Federico: "How I wish I could share with you the thoughts and confusions I felt when I stood in front of my mother's tombstone and recalled the past over and over again."
"I refuse. Emotions do not excuse your crimes."
Faced with Arturo's invitation to chat, Federico chose to refuse without hesitation.
There was only one thing on his mind at this moment, which was to bring the wanted criminal in front of him to justice.
Arturo expected Federico's rejection, but she was not discouraged at all.
"I don't want to exonerate myself, I just... want you to understand me..."
The relationship between the two is far more than what can be described as relatives. They are family, and Federico is the only person who can look at her rationally now.
He would not reject her because of her Originium skills, and all he wanted was to capture her and lock her up in Lateran.
The wind was whistling in his ears, and his family was not far away. Even Arturo did not expect that he would meet Federico under such circumstances.
Should we say Federico is persistent, or should we say he is stupid...
Arturo lowered his head and smiled slightly, then raised his head again and looked at Federico: "You know what? I once visited a group of infected people that my mother rescued. It was in Lateran."
Federico nodded. "I know that the group of refugees abandoned by the monks were rescued by a Sacotta named Luciana on the battlefield."
"Yes, I wanted to know where my mother went after she left Rutland, so I retraced her path and found the people she had saved."
"They are a group of infected people. There is no way they would be accepted by the pure holy city. But Mom thought her handwritten letter could impress her former colleagues and friends."
"However, what she didn't know was that most of them would make fun of her emotions and ideals at her funeral."
"The few who remain... like that monk, still turn their backs on the suffering of others."
"This does not constitute a reason for you to harm the monks and other people present."
"Hurt them?"
With a sneer, Arturo put his hand over his mouth and smiled lightly: "I just let them share each other's emotions."
"After this, they will no longer be afraid. They will have the opportunity to become good people like their mothers, gentle, brave, and compassionate..."
"You're talking about something that's completely uncertain and not even in your control."
Interrupting Arturo, Federico took a step forward and said, "The indiscriminate extension of the empathy range will affect the daily lives of Zacota, bringing uncontrollable panic and chaos."
"The order that people are accustomed to will no longer exist. Even going out normally will be difficult. Acts that violate the law will occur on a large scale, and a large number of Sakota may fall from the sky in a short period of time."
"They could certainly become friendlier, but they could also become violent, insane, or even criminals who threaten public safety."
"You just can't accept that the order you're familiar with has lost its rationality."
Placing the bow on the strings, Arturo began to play again.
The frantic melody dances in the wind, providing strength to Hercules while also bringing her inner emotions to Federico.
Zacota's empathy was aroused by Arturo, and the emotions in her heart that did not belong to her were completely sent to Federico's mind.
Feeling the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Federico remained unmoved and pointed the gun at Arturo as before.
Unable to understand, and unaffected.
"Look at the truth. Madness never comes from emotions themselves. On the contrary, it is only emotions that cannot be accepted by the heart that can easily break through the defenses of reason."
"We should have broken free long ago from this hypocritical and cowardly order that only constrains personal emotions and makes people numb!"
"After that, a new life led by emotions will be built, and we will be freer... and have no regrets..."
“I can neither identify the ‘we’ you are talking about nor the ‘after’ you are describing.”
Federico walked up and pressed the shotgun to Arturo's forehead.
"I only know that, like Aunt Luciana, your mother, she no longer has a future."
The music stopped abruptly, and Arturo's hands stopped moving.
She looked up at Federico, a strange emotion in her eyes.
It's like a child being stabbed in the throat during an argument.
The hand holding the bow creaked, and looking at Federico's face, Arturo wanted to punch him.
Finally, she sighed and gave up her idea.
She was very sure that the moment she hit Federico, he would judge it as resisting arrest, and then judge her threat and kill her with the final shot.
She was sure.
Because that's what Federico did when he was in the Ambrosian Monastery.
If she hadn't been careful, her imagination would have run wild.
In the rear, without Arturo's help, "Herzolen" was unable to draw energy from his forces to fight against Hildegarde and Frémont, and gradually fell into a disadvantage.
The newly arrived Witch King Tower had not yet accumulated enough energy, and he was unable to exert his true strength, so he could only retreat step by step helplessly.
Standing in front of the Witch King's Tower with her sword across her face, there was no fear at all. Even though the gap between the two was as huge as heaven and earth, she had no intention of retreating.
"Herhunzoron's shadow will never again be allowed to be cast upon the land of Leithania!"
He swung his sword, and the blade, carrying the magic of music, cut a deep crack in the dark and deep surface of the Witch King's Tower.
Seeing this, Fremont on the side ignored the danger of the spell backlash and forced the summoning spell to "flow backwards".
The heavy cumulus clouds dispersed, and a ray of sunlight shone from the sky and fell on the ground.
In mid-air, the fake Witch King Tower began to slowly dissipate after losing the support of magic.

Volume 8: Chapter 47: Precognition?
Suddenly, "blood" began to rain from the sky. Countless tiny and disgusting pieces of flesh fell from the air and evenly scattered on the playground.
Watching the "Herhunzolem" gradually disappearing into the sky, the exhausted Hildegard finally got a chance to catch her breath.
"call..."
After taking a long breath, Hildegard found a place to sit down, put her sword aside, and wiped the sweat from her forehead in a very ungraceful manner.
Anyway, this place has been isolated by her for a long time, and people outside can't see what's going on inside, so she doesn't care so much.
On the other side, Talina and Maria approached Black Key and Loris, and took advantage of the time when Hildegard and Fremont were too busy to pull the two of them to the other side.
After opening Hei Jian's eyes and seeing that his pupils were not dilated, Talina breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, at least I'm still alive.
After casually throwing a ball of light to ensure that Black Key's life was saved, Talina turned her attention to Loris.
Perhaps influenced by Arturo's piano music, Loris's performance now was the same as before the Black Keys, confused and talking to the person around him from time to time.
Sometimes he kept muttering about Yulia, and sometimes he called her an old man. He was basically half useless.
Thinking of this, Talina simply pulled him to Black Key's side, letting the two patients lean against each other, and she began to contact Viviana secretly.
"Why... no signal?"
Looking at the red exclamation mark in front of the message, Talina couldn't help but look up at the sky.
The sky was a dark yellow, which didn't match the noon time displayed on my phone. So this meant...
They are still trapped by the Black Emperor's spell.
Secretly holding the tube of royal blood in her hand, Talina pretended to look casually at Hildegard in the distance.
She had just experienced a great battle in her dream and was obviously injured. If they left now...
It’s not that there is no chance.
It’s just that the subsequent accountability may require them to put in some effort.
Having offended the king of a country, Viviana's identity issue is basically out of the question. They will probably be treated like wanted criminals in Leithania in the future.
Of course, with my own status, I naturally wouldn't care about these things. As long as I leave Letania, I can be said to be free as long as the sea is wide and the sky is high.
Anyway, her base is not here. At worst, she can go back to Casimir and be her own emperor.
But the problem is...
She is unwilling...
I was invited to Leithania, and was inexplicably dragged into it. After experiencing a bunch of inexplicable things, I was kicked out in disgrace.
This was simply because they had stumbled into the chaos left behind by the previous ruler.
They have nothing to do with the remnants of the Witch King or the Twin Queens. Her purpose in coming here is just to see her father-in-law and then take Maria to find clues about her parents.
But now her father-in-law is dead, Maria's parents are still missing, and she has also offended the emperor of another country...
Rubbing her temples with a headache, Talina gave up the idea of leaving.
Standing up by leaning against the wall, Talina glanced at Hildegard.
Different from the previous peeping, this time, she watched openly!
Hildegard naturally noticed Talina's gaze, but she just turned her head away and then ignored it.
"Let's go..."
Patting Maria on the shoulder, Talina pulled up Black Key and Loris from the ground and dragged them to the edge of Hildegard's spell.
"But...isn't this place blocked off?"
Maria said hesitantly as she looked at the ripples of magic that were spreading around her.
"It's okay, she... wouldn't bother doing such a thing."
Recalling Hildegarde's calm look just now, Talina shook her head and took a step forward.
Her feet, wearing cotton socks and small leather shoes, passed through Hildegarde's protection unhindered. Talina put the two unconscious Black Key and Loris aside unharmed.
Then he took out his cell phone.
Well, there's a signal.
Looking at the full signal, Talina put the phone back into her pocket.
Now that everything is over, there is no need to contact anyone.
A large group of students and teachers had already gathered outside. Although the security personnel were trying their best to maintain order, they were still full of curiosity about everything that was hidden.
Now Talina walked out with three people. The crowd immediately recognized her "feat" in the cafeteria and came over to talk to her.
"Go, go, go! Martial law has been declared here! Everyone, get out!"
Before the crowd could get closer, a figure holding a notebook blocked Talina and the others' way.
He was followed by a group of military police holding shields, who kept the noisy crowd outside.
"Ms. Talina, are you all right?"
The leader turned around and saw Pim, who had already escaped with Michaela.
After handing over the guarding duties to his colleague, Pim trotted over to Talina with his notebook.
Looking at Loris, who was overlapping with the black keys, he hesitated for a moment and asked uncertainly: "Captain, what is he doing..."
