The cracks in the dark clouds in the sky continued to expand, and the darkness was driven away by the light, quickly becoming dim. The sunlight through the clouds became stronger and stronger, and the light gradually descended on Pompeii.

Wei En and Xiao Te had no time to take care of these changes and hurriedly changed their clothes. Lan Ning carried Xiao Te on his back again and said: "Mr. Wei En, please wait a moment, someone else will come to pick you up soon."

Wei'en smiled and said: "Okay, I'll let you work hard." Soon, Wei'en left the Holy Grail with another fanatic on his back. As soon as he stepped on the ground, everyone gathered around and expressed their congratulations.

With a smile on Wei En's face, Xander walked up to him and said roughly: "You did a really good job, which is admirable."

Wei En nodded to him, looking over his shoulder, and suddenly saw that the buildings on the peaks of Pompeii were also faintly shining with light. It was no longer as deathly dark and silent as when they first arrived. Wei Enqi

He said: "What kind of light is that? It doesn't look like a lamp?"

"Those are the fixed stars of each mountain peak. They should have felt the call of the Holy Grail, so they responded with light." Sander glanced into the distance and continued: "In this way, the Holy City can regain the fixed stars.

The protection and defense of the formed barrier are no longer so empty."

"Can the Star Rock still protect Pompeii?"

"Of course. Without the protection of Dingxing Rock, the Holy City was captured by the Serpents back then. How could it survive today? Wei'en, you have done a great thing for the Holy City. From today on, you are Sander

friends."

Wei En smiled, feeling happy for Pompeii's turnaround. At this time, Fanny and Lucia also walked off the altar, Lucia walked behind, with tears on her face, and her expression was not bright.

Fanny quickly ran to Wei En and said with a smile: "Uncle, is Aunt Xiao's illness cured?"

"It should be fine." Wei En replied with a smile, picked up Fanny and kissed her cheek.

"Really? That's great. Uncle, you are awesome!"

"It's not my stick, it's our little Fanny stick. If you hadn't cast a spell to make the Holy Grail perform its magical functions, how could Aunt Short have recovered from her illness?"

"It's not me." Fanny heard this and shook her head: "I just made the Holy Grail work."

Wei En was startled: "Didn't you cast a spell to make it..."

Before Wei En could finish speaking, Fanny shook her head again: "After the Holy Grail started spinning, I didn't do anything."

After listening, everyone fell silent. Wei En put Fanny down and faced Lucia, who was standing at the outside of the crowd, and said calmly: "Priest Lucia, I think you should give me an explanation."

Lucia frowned: "Explain? Explain what?"

"Explain why you let Short go to the Holy Grail?"

"Oh, didn't I tell you? This is the only way I can think of to cure Miss Xiao's madness, and now it seems that although it took a bit of risk, the effect is still good." Lucia smiled.

Wei En's face darkened: "Lucia, up to now, you are still lying. Aren't you afraid of going to hell in the future?"

Lucia's face changed: "How presumptuous! Wei'en, don't think that just because you have brought light to the Holy City, you can talk irresponsibly!"

"Irresponsible? If I hadn't made some preparations in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to speak now?" Wei En asked.

"What do you mean? I don't understand what you are talking about."

Wei En turned around and looked at everyone, and saw that there was some confusion in everyone's eyes. Wei En nodded: "Okay, since you have no guilt at all, let's talk about it."

"It's up to you." There was a sneer on Lucia's lips.

"First of all, I have a question to ask Mr. Sander."

Lucia interrupted: "If you have any questions, just ask me."

"Ask me what's wrong? You look down on people." Xander said angrily: "You just ask, if you can answer I will answer. If you can't answer, I will never lie."

Lucia's face turned pale after hearing this.

"Okay. Mr. Sander, I want to ask, if your knife is rusty, will you still use it to fight?"

Sander was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said: "As for this problem, first of all, I don't use a knife, and secondly, I have a knife and will never let it rust. I am an invincible warrior. If I can't even use a knife,

If you are rusty, why go to the battlefield? Just go to your human monastery."

Wei En chuckled: "In other words, if you are going to the battlefield, you will definitely sharpen your sword."

"Of course."

"Similarly, if the Holy Grail has been unable to function for many years and is still sealed, can it still continue to heal the injured as before?"

Sander's two dark and thick eyebrows were intertwined: "Logically speaking, no. However, I don't see what this has to do with whether the knife is rusty or not."

"Well. If it can't be done, why does Priest Lucia still insist that the Holy Grail can detoxify?"

Sander glanced at Lucia: "You have to ask her about this. How do others know about her weird secrets?"

"Okay." Wei En paused and then said: "Mr. Sander, have you ever experienced this before when a saint was sacrificed?"

"Of course I've been there."

"Well, can you tell me what the sacrifice is?"

Just as Sander was about to answer, Lucia suddenly shouted: "Don't say it!"

Lucia's voice was so high and shrill that even Sander was startled and glared at Lucia: "If you don't say it, don't say it. Why are you yelling!"

Wei En smiled faintly, walked up to the Holy Grail, and said, "If Sander doesn't tell me, won't others be able to guess it?"

Lucia coughed and calmed down: "What are you going to guess?"

"I want to guess," Wei En pointed at the Holy Grail: "Who left the blood stains on it?"

Lucia snorted and said: "Wei En, the Holy Grail represents the highest sanctity of the royal family. It's so rude of you to ask this."

"Xia Shilan," Wei En suddenly turned around and asked.

Xia Shilan's face was startled: "What's the matter?"

"do you know?"

Xia Shilan thought about it for a while, shook her head, and said with a confused look on her face: "Not long after I was born, the war between the royal family and humans broke out, so I don't know much about it."

Wei'en looked at his expression, sighed inwardly, and said loudly: "Okay, then I'll say it myself."

"I know." Vincent said solemnly: "As expected, these blood stains are all left by sacrifices."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Cheney said suspiciously: "No, if every sacrifice requires the blood of a sacrifice, then wouldn't the Holy Grail have been stained with blood for so many years in the history of the royal family?"

"There are two explanations. One is that the royal family may not need life as a sacrifice for every sacrifice; secondly, the temperature of the Holy Grail is extremely high, and the blood stains it stained in its heyday were instantly evaporated. Later, the Holy Grail was taken to the Xihui Mountains

After sealing, the temperature gradually cooled down, but the royal family's sacrifices did not stop, so part of the blood of the sacrifices remained on the Holy Grail."

Everyone nodded and looked at Lucia. Lucia smiled lightly and said without any nervousness: "You are right, Wei En. However, living lives are used as sacrifices during sacrifices. What is the need to question this?

? Which of your major sacrifices as humans has not included cattle, sheep, and livestock as sacrifices?"

Wei En nodded: "Well, Lucia, can you tell me, what kind of lives do your royal family use as sacrifices?" Lucia's face changed slightly, she pondered for a moment, and said vaguely: "Of course it is other races.

s life."

"Other races, that means they also include humans?" Wei En said solemnly.

There was a hint of anger in Lucia's voice as she said, "Weien, I have no obligation to answer your aggressive questions."

"You don't have to answer." Wei En said lightly, "But this further proves that human beings are also one of your sacrifices."

"Even if it is, so what?" Faced with Wei En's sharp words, Lucia's face finally showed an angry look: "Wei En, you are not qualified to criticize us. Don't forget, you humans also used to fight with each other.

The prisoners will be sacrifices for you to thank the so-called God of War!"

Wei En said in a deep voice: "That's true, but when was that? At that time, we were still in the primitive stage of barbarism and ignorance, and we did things like cannibalism. But what about you? You already have a high degree of civilization and wisdom.

, got rid of ignorance and ignorance, but still ignore other lives for their own interests, what does this mean? It means that you," Wei En paused, and said every word: "You don't respect life at all!"

Lucia sneered: "Wei En, you respect life every bite, don't you eat animal meat?"

"I eat." Wei En nodded and said, "God arranged the difference between carnivores and herbivores in this world in order to maintain a certain balance. I eat meat because of my survival instinct, but not for my own material desires.

!”

Lucia laughed angrily: "We are the noblest beings on this land, why should we talk about respect with lower-level beings like you? You think too highly of yourself."

"That's why you have what you have today." Wei En replied in a solemn voice: "Lucia, all lives are equal. You disrespect human beings and kill innocent people indiscriminately, and that's why you have today. If you look around, you will see that the bustling buildings in the past are not the same.

Is it an accident that the City of Night has fallen into such a dilapidated state?"

"That's because of God's wrath. Without Xihui Mountain, you humans..."

Before Lucia finished speaking, Wei En asked: "Why is God angry?"

Lucia's words suddenly stuck in her mouth, her face turned blue, and she muttered a few words that no one understood. She took two breaths and said coldly: "I don't need to argue with you.

.”

"I understand. It turns out that Lucia asked Xiao Te to go to the Holy Grail not for the purpose of healing, but because the Holy Grail started to operate. She was going to sacrifice Xiao Te and make her a sacrifice. Wei En, isn't it?"

Cheney said suddenly.

Wei En nodded: "I think this is the plan of Lucia's sacrifice."

Cheney looked at Lucia angrily and said angrily: "I didn't expect that you, a priest, look noble and polite on the surface, but in your heart you are so sinister and ruthless!"

Lucia snorted and didn't answer. Sander raised his thick eyebrows and wanted to say something. After thinking about it, he sighed and said nothing.

Xia Silan said suddenly: "Priest Lucia, I don't understand. Even if you look down on us humans, our trip to the Holy City is all thanks to you, so why don't you remember any mercy?"

"What credit do you have?" Lucia glanced at Xia Shilan and said coldly: "That was an arrangement already planned by Saint Vivien Leigh, and Saint Fanny. Without them, what can you do to help us?"

Xia Shilan was speechless for a moment. Wei En raised his eyebrows: "Lucia, when it comes to Saint Vivien Leigh's plan, you still don't understand what she really means."

Lucia looked at Wei En and the determined look on his face, and couldn't help but ask: "What don't I understand?"

"Fanny is not the result of the love between the saint and Vincent. She still has human blood flowing in her body. This shows that Vivien Leigh has long understood that the person who can truly save the royal family is not a saint who is aloof and can only cast spells.

A woman is a person who has experienced the ups and downs of the world and knows what love is and how to love!"

Fanny's heart trembled. At this moment, she remembered her mother's affectionate kiss when she left.

Xia Silan sighed, shook his head and said, "I can't believe that we have done so much and spent so much hard work, but we don't get any recognition from the royal family."

Wei En looked at Xia Shilan and said: "You have your dignity, why do you need to ask for her recognition? In fact, Xia Shilan, from the beginning, it was impossible for us to get her recognition."

"Why?"

"Because from the beginning, she had no intention of letting us leave the Holy City alive. Short is just the first step in her plan, and it is also a crucial step."

"What?" Xia Silan looked shocked when he heard this.

Wei En smiled, and suddenly took out something from his arms, put it in his hand and handed it out: "Lucia, this thing should be familiar to you?"

Lucia looked carefully, and when she saw something clearly, her expression finally changed, and the silver hair on her head and neck stood up.
