"Eternal Father:

When I cross the threshold of confusion and regret, I would like to completely entrust myself to you. Thank you for giving me the right to be your child. I am willing to follow your miracles and spread your divine love to all directions.

Please keep my mind in Your peace, and prevent it from being defiled by the evil surrounding me. Please give me a burning love to love my Lord, so that my heart will not be cold and filled with warmth. Please

Let my eyes focus on eternity and the unseen, and not be stained by the filth of the world; please warn me of the nearness of your return, watch and wait for the sound of your trumpet. If my life ends today, please give me

In the name of the Lord, the soul will find peace and happiness.”

Tangulas recited the Lord's Prayer unhurriedly, with a calm voice without any ripples. His thin face looked a little pale under the candlelight, and his eyes were full of piety and confidence in his faith.

After reciting the Lord's Prayer and the seven candles were more than half burned, he shared a piece of Holy Body (holy bread), drank a sip of Holy Blood (red wine), and then slowly poured the red wine in the cup into the basin, with Tangula on his chest.

He made a sign of the cross on his face and murmured: "God is with me."

Staring at the water in the golden basin gradually changing color, and the sacred true cross also beginning to glow a strange pink color, Tangulas clasped his hands on his chest again and recited in a deep voice:

"Ignorant people fall into the trap of the devil. They forget your teachings and become arrogant, jealous, angry, lazy, greedy, gluttonous, lustful. They would rather suffer eternal disaster than give up the pleasure of sin. Everything in the world has become

It's so filthy that only those who truly love you can hear your voice."

As Tangulas denounced the seven deadly sins, the flames of the seven candles changed color one after another, from golden to red, and the atmosphere in the chapel became more gloomy and strange.

"O miraculous and great Lord, please listen to the prayers of your loyal servants. Through our prayers, God's instructions will replace all the dark evil and make our hearts that fear you purer. Please shine the immortal light in the sky.

Morning star, let the light of guidance drive away all evil, drive disrespect and depravity into hell, let them cry and regret in the eternal darkness, without a moment of peace." Tangula stretched out his left hand, reached into the water, and held the cross.

, slowly raised it in front of him, and said loudly: "In the name of the Lord, carrying the anger of the gods of heaven and earth, roar at the blasphemous soul! Judge him, punish him, and make him never reincarnate!"

Tangulas's voice suddenly rose, and the True Cross seemed to hear the long-awaited greeting. Accompanied by a strange sound of the air being violently torn apart, a cluster of pure light lit up from his hand, immediately expelling the darkness of the entire hut.

Without a trace.

Max was sitting in the carriage, leaning on a cane in his right hand. His old face was full of exhaustion and drowsiness. He spent the whole afternoon in Westminster Abbey and attended the church's Easter prayer service.

activity, and just got out of it at this moment.

Suddenly, something moved in his heart, and Max frowned: "Stop the car!"

The carriage stopped. A middle-aged monk lowered his hand and walked to the carriage window and said respectfully: "Elder, what are your orders?"

Max didn't answer. He suddenly looked up at the morning star in the east and said thoughtfully: "Grant, look at the sky in the east."

Friar Grant looked at it as he was told and said, "It's not midnight yet, why is the morning star so bright?"

"How long is it until midnight?"

"There are about three hours left. Elder, it has been cloudy today. Why are the stars getting brighter at night?"

Max was silent for a moment and said solemnly: "Turn around and go to Prince Xiao's Mansion!"

When Xiao Te woke up, he felt covered in sweat and felt unspeakably uncomfortable, as if there was a stone stuck in his heart. He sat up from the bed and found that the window was tightly closed and the air in the room was stuffy.

"Emma." Xiaote called.

A maid heard the sound and came in holding a candle lamp: "Are you awake?"

"Open the window, I want some air."

"The doctor just said that you caught a cold in the church today and you need to have a good rest and not be exposed to the wind."

"I'm just getting some air, you go."

The maid wanted to say something else, Xiao Te frowned and said: "I'm very upset, just do as you are told."

The maid stuck out her tongue, then walked to the window and opened the curtains, opening a window, and the starlight outside suddenly shone in unreservedly.

Xiao Te put on his coat and walked to the window. The lights outside were bright and full of festive atmosphere. Xiao Te stared at the sky without saying a word, and a gust of cold wind blew by, ruffling his short hair.

Today is Easter, why do I always feel uneasy? Is it just because of my health? Xiaote looked out the window and suddenly remembered something: when attending the mass in Westminster Abbey this morning, the senior clergy of Fort Rio Everyone was present, except Tangulas. Why didn't he attend such an important occasion?

Tangulas, this gentle and calm priest, felt like a nail at this moment, making his head hurt even more.

Wei En took a new glass handed over by Julie and poured red wine again. After everyone sat down, Wei En raised the goblet and said with a smile: "Everyone, I don't have much worship of God, but On this evening, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to God for giving me the opportunity to get to know you, which is of great significance to my life."

Everyone had smiles on their faces and raised their glasses to express their gratitude.

"Thank God for the resurrection, thank you for your friendship, let us drink this cup and cheer for tomorrow."

Everyone agreed with a roar, and everyone left their seats and stood up. A dozen figures were reflected on the snow-white tablecloth, looking so happy and joyful.

At this moment, a change occurred.

Suddenly, the hall lit up without warning, and the entire small building became like daylight, and the bright light was extremely dazzling. The figures on the table disappeared without a trace in an instant. Everyone looked at each other in surprise and found that Each other's cheeks were as bloodless as winter snow.

Immediately afterwards, a strange voice sounded in everyone's ears, echoing in the hall. The voice was low, and the melody was somewhat similar to the hymns sung by the choir during church services, but it contained anger and murderous intent, which made people listen. The heartstrings are frightened.

Zhu Qing raised his eyebrows, pressed the edge of the table with both hands, and his light and petite body jumped onto the table in front of Wei En in the blink of an eye. He bent one leg, put his hands together, raised his two index fingers, and quickly condensed a wave of emotion on his fingertips. The brilliance was so bright. Wei En looked sideways from behind her and was shocked. He had never seen her solemn expression before.

There was a "bang" sound, and the sound of a huge airflow collision was heard. A strong wind blew around Zhuqing, and the tableware on the table was swept by the airflow. Everyone had to protect their faces with their hands to avoid being hurt. They were far apart.

Several people were suddenly surprised to see that Zhu Qing's eyes were shining brightly, her teeth were biting her lower lip, and a ball of light that was larger than Zhu Qing's body was pressed tightly in front of her fingers. This ball of light was holding

The light emitted is very pure, and without the resistance of the brilliance of Zhu Qing's fingertips, it would be difficult to detect it with the naked eye during rapid movement.

After a moment, the light ball broke through Zhu Qing's resistance. The huge light ball enveloped Zhu Qing's entire weak body. Vincent roared and reached out to grab Zhu Qing's arm. Huge power surged back, and suddenly

Then he flicked him out. Zhuqing was wrapped and squeezed by the transparent and shining light. After just a few seconds, she let out a high-pitched scream, and her body quickly dissolved and dissipated in the light ball, and finally

As the light group disappeared without a trace.

All this happened so quickly like a flash of calcium carbide. It wasn't until the light dissipated that everyone realized what had happened. Fanny's hoarse shouts sounded in the living room: "Sister Zhu Qing!"

The light of the ruby ​​​​on the True Cross dimmed, and the light of the chapel gradually extinguished. Tangulas frowned: the trial encountered obstacles. He made a quick judgment in his heart.

"These heretics who deserve to go to hell actually resisted God's punishment!" Tangulas cursed in his heart, raised his arms, and shouted loudly: "Holy apostle, God's closest brother, John the Baptist, please

Lend me your divine power to baptize sinful souls with holy fire!"

The sound of Tangulas's incantation echoed in the chapel. The characters in the surrounding portraits seemed to be more and more lifelike against the mysterious atmosphere. A pair of blue eyes stared at the caster in front of the pulpit, as if they were silently conveying their faith.

the power of.

Tanggulas was shocked to feel a surge of spiritual power coming through the True Cross medium. This spiritual power was so powerful that if he could not control it, his body would be torn apart first.

"Yeah"! Tangulas let out a low and painful groan, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out, spraying on the cross. The bright red blood flowed along the crumbling cross through his palms and dripped on the floor.

Tanggulas's face became even paler. He opened his eyes wide and used all his strength to hoarsely say: "I will use my life as a sacrifice to pray for God's gift. Please fulfill my wish and treat those who dare to offend your dignity."

Give the person the most severe punishment!”

The ruby ​​flashed and its light lit up again.

Wei En looked at the messy table in front of him, feeling both shocked and sad. Vincent sat up from the ground and stared blankly ahead. In fact, everyone was stunned by this sudden blow.

He seemed a little at a loss.

Ruola calmed down and walked to Vincent: "You are not injured."

Vincent slowly shook his head, and just as he was about to answer, the room suddenly became bright again. Although it was not as radiant as before, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes, compared to the dark night outside, this light was still shocking.

human heart.

Vincent's heart was shocked, and he endured the pain all over his body, and quickly rushed towards Wei En. His intuition, which had been experienced in the battlefield, told him that the danger had not passed.

"Bang!" A muffled sound came, and Wei En said "Oh", feeling as if he was being struck by thunder. His body first bent forward slightly, and then flew backwards. He was in mid-air, and blood had already spurted out.

Just like the curtain call of red fireworks.

Vincent roared with his teeth cracked, and reached out to grab Wei En's body sliding in the air. His speed was half a minute slower, and his fingertips only touched his clothes. Wei En and Vincent's fingers brushed against each other.

He passed by and fell heavily to the floor.

Everyone in the room suddenly became confused, and they all ran towards Wei En and surrounded him. Only Larva held his head in his hands with a painful expression on his face. Vincent stood there blankly, with his palms spread upward, and nodded.

Vermilion splashed on his palms and arms, and unspeakable sadness and helplessness surged into his heart.

Tangulas sighed heavily and slowly lowered his raised arms. This time, the light of the True Cross was finally completely extinguished, and the chapel fell into darkness again.

Only the seven candles were still on, and the dim light of the candles reflected the figure of Tangulas. At this moment, he did not look like a decent and noble priest, but more like a wandering soul walking in the darkness.

Tangulas put the cross into the basin and watched it sink into the water. He felt exhausted and almost all the energy in his body seemed to be drained suddenly, as if he had suffered a serious illness. Unfortunately, the ceremony would continue. Next, he

You must continue to pray until the seven candles are completely burned out, and the Mass is not truly over.

A wry smile appeared on Tanggulas's face. Wei En was able to withstand and eliminate one divine punishment, completely beyond his expectation. If he were not here, he would not have the strength to launch the second divine punishment. Even so, when the ceremony is finally over

, I’m afraid it will take a long time for him to recover.

Westminster Abbey, Cardinal's Prayer Room.

Bishop McCarthy sat in a large chair, with a man in black kneeling on one leg kneeling in front of him. Behind him was a huge stained glass, through which one could overlook most of the cityscape of the royal capital.

After listening to the report of the man in black, McCarthy put his fat face in his hands and thought: "It seems that Tangulas finally succeeded this time?"

The man in black nodded and said: "The seven candles are still burning, so the ceremony should have been uninterrupted. However, Tangulas also paid a lot of price. In order to complete the ceremony, blood was even spurted out."

"Although the power left in the saint's relics is insignificant compared to itself, it is not something that we mortals can easily touch. No matter what the reason is, you must use the essence of your life as a sacrifice to achieve success. Tanggula

It’s not that Si didn’t know this truth, he just had an arrow on the string and had to shoot it.”

"So, that Wei En is really powerful, he can actually force Tangulas to do this."

"Haha, do you think Wei En is just a young boy? The priest next to Carter in Oak Church is one of my five messengers, and his strength has reached the level of a royal mage. Although he died under Vincent's sword,

Don’t forget, his soul-absorbing formation was broken by Wei En.”

"Your Excellency has great foresight and estimated that Tangulas would encounter resistance, so he asked him to preach in 'John's Awakening', which directly contributed to the success of his spell."

McCarthy had a slight smile on his face. He was far-sighted, but there was no need to say his intention. He waved his hand and said, "Go down. Continue to monitor. No matter what happens, tell me as soon as possible."

The man in black took the order and retreated. McCarthy sat quietly for a while, then suddenly stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window grilles, and stared at the city scenery below.

Although it was already dark, because it was Easter, thousands of houses in the city were brightly lit and prosperous.

"I have spent so many years in this city and put in countless efforts to get to where I am today. No one can take it away from me easily, not even the Pope!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The night gradually faded and the sky finally dawned.

Max walked out of Wei En's bedroom and came to the living room. Except for Carmen, who was taking care of Wei En, everyone else was waiting anxiously in the living room. Prince Vander, who came with Max, was sitting in a chair with his face

Shang's expression was quite calm. Xiaote stood by the window behind him, staring out the window not knowing what he was thinking.

"Mr. Max, how is Wei'en?" Everyone asked when Max walked into the living room.

Max said gloomily: "Not too optimistic."

Everyone's hearts suddenly sank. After a while, Prince Vander suddenly said: "How long can he last?"

"There should be six or seven days left. However," Max shook his head and sighed: "During this period, he will experience tremendous pain and torture every day."

"Can you tell what kind of spell is in Wei En?"

"What he was hit with was not an ordinary spell. If I guessed correctly, it was the Seven Deadly Sins of Tangulas' Mass."

"What?" Ruola suddenly stood up: "Is it Tangulas? I'll go find him!" He said and started to walk out.

"Zola!" Vincent shouted: "Calm down first."

"Calm down? If you remain calm, another person will die."

Max said: "Ruola, we have no direct evidence. You can't solve the problem by asking him like this. Besides, Tangulas is with McCarthy now. With his protection, you can't break in."

Ruola stopped and turned around slowly, her eyes red: "Could it be that we just watched..." Ruola's voice slowly choked up and she could no longer continue. She lost two people at once and she couldn't help but watch...

A friend whom she respected and liked from the bottom of her heart, she just felt like her heart was going to be broken.

"Let me think about it, let me think about it." Max whispered: "Maybe we still have a way."
