In Wei En's hand, there is a black metal object. It is in the shape of a hexagon, similar to a badge or a token. Under the sunlight, the dark and rough surface of the badge reflects the faint patterns.

Cheney took a few glances at the light and immediately remembered its origin: they found it from Carter's body and kept it with Wei En for safekeeping.

Wei En said: "Lucia, I don't think you need me to tell you where it comes from?" Lucia looked gloomy and did not answer.

Cheney said: "Isn't this something that belongs to Carter? What does it have to do with Lucia?"

Wei En walked up to him and said, "Look carefully at the carved patterns on it. Do you have any impressions?"

Cheney observed it carefully, then looked up at the Holy Grail and said, "Oh, these patterns seem to be the patterns on the Holy Grail."

"Not bad." Wei En smiled slightly.

"Don't we already know that Carter is the royal family's bird summoner? He wears the royal family's emblem. Isn't it strange?"

"But there's one thing you didn't notice. From the time we entered Pompeii to this holy tomb, did you see any metal objects along the way?" Wei En asked.

Cheney was stunned for a moment. He recalled carefully for a long time and said, "When you put it like that, it seems that there really aren't any. They are basically items made of stone and wood."

Wei En looked at Sander and said: "Even the weapon in Mr. Sander's hand is a wooden staff, not a metal weapon. Cheney, why is this badge made of metal? Don't you think it's a bit weird?

Is it weird?"

Sander said loudly: "What's so rare about this? Those scraps of copper and iron are inventions of you humans. We will only use the raw materials created by God." As he said this, he took out a crystal-dazzling crystal from his arms.

A jade square badge. Sander raised it and said, "Look at mine. It's much better than your piece of crap."

Wei En smiled and said: "If that's the case, then why is this badge made of metal?"

Sander scratched his head and turned to look at Lucia: "Well, you should ask her, I have been locked up in the Holy Tomb, how do I know the changes outside?"

Xia Shilan said: "Wei'en, I still don't quite understand, what does Carter's badge have to do with the Holy City?"

"First of all, this metal badge should have been cast after the Holy Grail was sealed and the royal family fell. Because the royal family never used metal items before, they may have thought that using human inventions would be a stain on them."

"I can understand this."

"We can imagine that a certain royal family is in a foreign place and is eager to contact the Holy City. At the same time, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the world, they cast this metal badge. There is nothing unusual about this badge on the surface. If it hadn't come to

Here, who could know that the pattern above is a symbol of the sunbird?"

"You mean Carter wanted to contact the Holy City and cast a badge?"

"No, Carter is not from the royal family." Wei En shook his head slightly: "If I guess correctly, he is actually a slave of the royal family just like you."

Xia Silan was surprised: "A servant of the royal family."

"Exactly." Having said this, Wei En turned around and looked directly at Lucia: "Last night, when you mentioned that the queen mother of a country sent an army to hunt us down, I felt a little bit upset in my heart.

Surprised. As the guardian of the temple, you have lived in the depressed and declining Sky City for a long time, so why are you so well-informed and accurate? So I thought, will someone come to inform you? If so, he is obviously not from the royal family.

People, because the symbol of the royal family's ears is too obvious, it will inevitably shock the world wherever they go, and it will be difficult to hide their whereabouts. And this will definitely not cause any trouble to Carter."

"Carter has been chasing us since I left Fort Rio. He knows the whole process very well. He even set up a trap to ambush us in the Xihui Mountains. Priest Lucia, I think

He must have been here before, and this metal badge must be used to prove his identity."

Lucia sneered: "What a joke, what does Carter's embarrassment for you have to do with me? How could one of my dignified temple priests take orders from a humble king's slave?"

"Of course you won't obey the king's slave, but what about the person behind him? The temperature of the Holy Grail is very high. Except for saints and high-level priests, even ordinary people from the royal family can't get close to it, but this person's memory is very important to him.

The pattern on the Holy Grail is very clear, indicating that he has often participated in sacrifices before, and he should be a high-level priest with roughly the same status as you, maybe even more noble."

"Carter came to the Holy City for only one purpose. When the high-ranking priest knew that we had escaped from the pursuers on the grassland and were about to return to the town, he had a premonition that we would probably hide in the Xihui Mountains, so he used

Birds sent Carter a rush-made badge, asking him to enter the Holy City to meet you. Of course, this badge cannot be sent by a small bird like a homing pigeon, but since even Carter is a junior Bird Summoner

Master, this question should not be difficult for you, a senior priest."

Lucia's face calmed down, and she seemed to have regained her former calmness and elegance. She listened quietly to Wei En's narration without making any further arguments.

"When we entered the Holy City, although you wanted to get rid of us, you didn't rush to take action. Because even you yourself were not sure whether Fanny could become a saint. You didn't want to ruin Pompeii's last hope. Fanny became a saint.

After that, you no longer have any worries, so you will naturally look for opportunities to take action, and Xiaote's illness gives you a precious opportunity."

Vincent suddenly said: "But why did she want to get rid of the weak Xiao Te first? Logically speaking, except for Xiao Te, every one of us is capable of fighting."

"It's very simple. Just because we have a certain fighting capacity, with the current strength of the Holy City or Lucia, she is not sure that she can get rid of us without making any movement without making Fanny suspicious. So she chose to make Xiaote a sacrifice.

, let the Holy Grail rotate first. Once the Holy Grail rotates, the fixed star rock will play a defensive role and should greatly strengthen some of Lucia's abilities. By then, Lucia may have her own solution."

When Wei En said this, everyone said "Oh" uncomfortably. Sitting aside, Xiao Te, who was taken care of by Nanding, looked at Wei En with joy, his eyes filled with indescribable joy: no matter how many more things are ahead of him

Danger, with Wei En, she seems to have confidence and security."

Lucia stared at Wei En for a long time. She nodded slightly and showed a bitter smile: "I must admit that the prophet who can protect the saint is indeed the most outstanding wise man in mankind."

Everyone stared at Lucia in silence. Her words had already explained everything. Wei En shook his head, and the expression on his face was not as relaxed as after the truth was revealed: "Lucia, I am not a prophet or a prophet.

Wise man. To be honest, I don’t want to be your enemy, especially after so many things have happened.”

Lucia said: "Prophet Wei'en, you have indeed done a lot for the Holy City. At this moment, I feel sorry for my behavior."

Wei En said calmly: "Now, it doesn't make any sense to say sorry. Lucia, I just want to know, what is your motive for getting rid of us?"

"Get rid of you? Oh, because your influence on the Saint is too profound. If I don't remove your connection with her, Saint Fanny will definitely be difficult for me to use."

Cheney heard this and said angrily: "Want to control the Saint? Lucia, your ambition is too great."

Lucia smiled calmly: "I've been waiting for so many years, so it's normal to be a little ambitious."

"No." Wei En suddenly shook his head: "Lucia, this is not the main reason, this is just an excuse for you."

There was a trace of nervousness in Lucia's eyes: Is this person too keen? Could it be that nothing can be hidden from him?

"If you really want to get rid of us and control the Saint, you have plenty of time, so why rush it? Even if your plan succeeds, you cannot escape the blame for roasting Xiao Te alive. Even if there is no mistake, at least it will

You will lose Fanny's trust in you."

Vincent said: "Yes, Pompeii has fallen into this state. Even with Fanny, how much can she change the status quo without unlocking the Holy Grail? Besides, if you are really ambitious, how can you endure this?

A lonely loneliness?"

"I understand." Wei En's eyes flashed brightly, and he threw the badge in his hand at Lucia's feet. With a "ding" sound, the crisp sound echoed on the stone tomb: "You have only one motive.

, is the order of the royal family living in the human world. Carter came to the Holy City not to contact and ask for help, he came to convey that person's will, right, Lucia?"

Lucia stood there quietly, without answering and with no expression on her face.

"Who is that royal family? Why can he order you? Why should you listen to him?"

"I'm sorry, I can't answer this question for you." Lucia replied slowly.

Cheney said coldly: "Lucia, I must tell you, I have many ways to make dead people speak."

Lucia turned to look at Cheney: "If you want to take action, you can give it a try."

Cheney's fists clenched, and Wei En suddenly stopped him: "Wait a minute."

"What are you waiting for? This woman is so cunning, why should she be so polite?"

Sander coughed, stood between Cheney and Lucia, and said: "Lucia, although this matter is not very bright, I still cannot agree to your infringement of the temple's sacrifices."

The pupils in Cheney's eyes shrank, he sneered and stepped forward. Wei En said: "Wait a minute, I have a way."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on him. Wei En turned around and said softly to Fanny: "Fanny, it's up to you now."

"Rely on me? Uncle Wei'en, what can you rely on me for?" Fanny's big eyes were bright, obviously she didn't understand what Wei'en meant.

"Have you forgotten? You are a saint. Can you ask her for my uncle? She might answer."

Seeing Wei En's actions, Lucia's calm and serene expression couldn't help but change, and a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes.

"Okay." Fanny nodded in agreement and turned to look at Lucia: "Priest Lucia, please answer the question that Uncle Wei En just asked. I also want to know the answer."

The wind seemed to be a bit stronger. Although it was already bright at this time, the cold seemed to linger. Everyone looked at Lucia, this once noble but now old woman, her white hair fluttering in the wind.

, covering her eyes and her eyebrows.

After a long while, Lucia slowly said: "Sander, I want to hear your opinion."

Xander was puzzled: "What do you want me to say?"

"What if I refuse to answer the saint's question?"

"Then you know the consequences." Sander's face darkened: "Although the Holy City is broken, the rules have not been abolished. You yourself said just now that the words of the saint are the highest will. Have you forgotten?"

Lucia smiled bitterly: "It seems that I killed myself by doing this. Lan Ning, what do you say?"

Lan Ning hesitated and answered slowly: "Priest Lucia, the question of the saint is hard not to answer. As a priest of the temple, how can you still do something disobedient? Besides, the sacred bird was resurrected by the hands of the prophet Wei En.

, saved the light of the Holy City, shouldn’t such a person be an enemy of the royal family?”

"Haha." After hearing Lan Ning's answer, Lucia suddenly raised her head and let out a short sharp laugh: "I understand that people are betraying their relatives."

No one answered her, and everyone knew that she had no way out.

Lucia stopped smiling, suddenly bent down, picked up the badge at her feet, held it tightly in her hand, put it in front of her heart, and said slowly: "Saint Fanny, this person is the sun

The most loyal descendant of Bird, the most outstanding warrior of the royal family. For the day when the royal family can be restored, he did not hesitate to endure humiliation and endure hardships. He worked hard for decades without complaining. Without him, the royal family may not be able to survive the day when you return.

."

"Then who is he? You can tell me, I want to see him." Fanny replied.

Lucia shook her head, with a very gentle smile on her face: "Saint, it's not the time to tell you now, but one day, he will tell you in person." At this point, her palms suddenly trembled.

The ground gave off a burst of blinding light.

Vincent raised his eyebrows and said: "No." He stepped forward quickly. Lan Ning suddenly stood in front of Vincent: "Mr. Vincent, self-immolation is the most sacred right of every descendant of the royal family. It is the heart of pilgrimage."

It’s been decided, please don’t disturb her.”

"What?" Vincent was startled.

Sander said solemnly: "Friends of the Saint, I respect your status, but please understand the mood and situation of the priest." Nanding screamed: "Teacher." Leaving Xiaote behind, he ran over quickly, and the person returned.

Before he could get any closer, tears welled up on his face.

At this time, in just a few seconds, Lucia's black robe and silver hair had changed the color of the night. Fiery red flames spurted out, covering her skin in the blink of an eye and spreading to her whole body.

Her body was wrapped in a huge pure red fireball. It burned so fast that everyone was dumbfounded and looked panicked.

A voice came from the fireball, but it was as calm as the blue in the middle of the lake: "Mr. Wei'en, the seal of the Holy Grail has been removed, and there will be drastic changes in the world. Go back quickly!"
