Chapter 257 Containers

Xia Yanzhen took off the black cloth and looked over.

There were him, Pope Rodrigo, Lancelot, the leader of the blood-armored knights, and Damon's family of three in the room, a total of six.

He heard seven different heartbeats.

so……

"Is there another black crow hiding here?" Xia Yanzhen asked, looking around.

The heartbeat was very weak, mixed in with the heartbeats of other people, and he couldn't distinguish the location for a while.

There are no redundant furniture and decorations in the room, and it can basically be seen at a glance.

Logically speaking, Black Crow can't hide, but maybe he has some ability to escape into the shadows?

"What?" Lancelot looked at Xia Yanzhen.

"Is there a seventh person in the room?" Xia Yanzhen asked again.

Lancelot's face was slightly awe-inspiring, and he put one hand on the sword at his waist: "Where is it?"

"Isn't it your people who are secretly protecting you?"

"I'm the only one." Lancelot looked around the audience with lightning eyes, "I didn't find anyone there."

"Listen carefully." Xia Yanzhen said, "It's the heartbeat."

Lancelot frowned and listened carefully, paying attention to any clue.

There was absolutely no "you noticed a problem that I didn't notice, and I thought you made a fuss and didn't believe it, and then mocked me and then got into a conflict" situation.

"I didn't hear anything..." After a while, Lancelot shook his head and said.

"Let me listen again, it could be a rat or something."

Xia Yanzhen closed his eyes again and focused entirely on his hearing.

Trying to figure out where the seventh heartbeat is coming from.

Seeing Xia Yanzhen's concentration, Lancelot held his breath.

The room fell completely silent.

Xia Yanzhen stood up slowly, took two steps forward, then stopped, and took another two steps forward.

When he came to the cross with the Witch Mary nailed in the middle, he opened his eyes and looked at the woman on the cross.

The pale skin contrasts with the red hair and lips.

There was no blood at the wounds driven by the big black nails.

"What are you doing?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"I don't know..." Lancelot shook his head. He really didn't know what he was doing. He could only confirm that it was a blood transfusion.

"If I heard correctly -" Xia Yanzhen leaned close to Mary's flat belly, "the sound came from here."

"What?"

Lancelot was a little confused.

"She is pregnant, and the heartbeat I hear comes from the fetus inside her body." Xia Yanzhen confirmed.

"impossible!"

Lancelot categorically denied.

He captured the Witch Mary with his own hands and brought her back to the church.

He has been imprisoned in this room for these years, entering a special state of suspended animation.

How could she be pregnant!

At the time, Mary was not pregnant.

Could it be that someone did something to her after she was captured?

wrong.

The only people who could enter this room were him, the chief knight, and eight cardinals and His Majesty the Pope.

Although it’s not good to say so.

But the fact is that at the cardinal's age, they no longer have that need, and they are more than willing to do so.

Although the cardinals control powerful powers, such as purifying the Holy Light and so on.

However, this power will not make their bodies stronger. Like the knights, they can still be vigorous and vigorous even after they are sixty or seventy years old.

The only one who was younger and still had some energy left, Horan, well, he wasn't interested in women and had never been here alone.

So did the other cardinals.

The Pope is the only one who has ever been alone in this room.

And the Pope... has been stoic for more than twenty years. Even if the flattery factor is put aside, many clergy can pat their chests and say that His Holiness the Pope is the purest man they have ever seen.

How could a witch be pregnant? How could she be pregnant!

"I don't know, anyway, I heard the heartbeat." Xia Yanzhen said, "I wonder if the blood will flow backwards and produce some wonderful 'chemical reactions', so I'm pregnant."

"..."

Lancelot is just a big boss, how can he understand this?

Can only be silent.

"So, this fetus is the son of your Pope and this witch, taking into account the power of both parties." Xia Yanzhen guessed, "This has attracted a large number of rats, and can control individual rats to break through here."

"I sent for the Cardinal," said Lancelot.

Now the Pope cannot interfere and can only ask the cardinals to come back and discuss it.

Lancelot opened the door, and there were still two red knights and hidden crows guarding outside.

Lancelot conveyed the order, and the crows left immediately.

It may take some time to find the Cardinal.

Abandoning the outer city cannot be executed immediately with a slap on the head.

Huolun brought Xia Yanzhen here to protect the Pope, and the other bishops had already gone to the outer city wall in advance.

Planning to perform a complete miracle to reduce the number of rats outside as much as possible.

At the level of a Cardinal, as long as they are willing, they can purify the Holy Light and even purify people's lives.

Killing rats is easy.

When performing miracles, some people from the outer city were brought to the inner city.

There are also various supplies that need to be brought to the inner city.

It takes about half a day to move. During this half day, the church's defensive light curtain should be able to hold on.

At that time, we will tighten the defensive front and wait for the Pope to come out.

After a while, someone came back and sent back the news, saying that Xia Yanzhen and Lancelot did not need to take more care, and their mission was to protect the Pope.

Leave everything else alone.

"That's it, there's no need to go -" Before Lancelot could finish his words, a mouse suddenly jumped out of nowhere.

Go straight to the cross and the pope.

The rat with red eyes is as violent as a beast.

The cold light flickered, Lancelot had already unsheathed his sharp blade, and drew out his sword.

The rats on the ground were hit by him with a sharp blade, and each one was accurately pierced through the head.

He lay motionless on the ground, with only a little blood flowing out.

There were about seven or eight rat carcasses.

"Where did it come from?" Xia Yanzhen looked around.

The floors, ceilings and walls here are actually not integrated. At first glance, gaps or other gaps may not be visible.

If you listen carefully, you can hear a lot of air circulation.

If it were completely sealed, everyone would suffocate inside.

"Don't worry about it, protect His Majesty the Pope." Lancelot motioned to Xia Yanzhen to clean up the rat corpses in a corner.

They have only one mission, and that is to protect the Pope.

Nothing else should be their concern.

"Don't be like a puppet. You have no subjective initiative at all. If my guess is correct, the crisis of the Kuroshio siege can be resolved." Xia Yanzhen looked at Mary up and down.

Just as Lancelot was about to say something, another mouse came out.

This time, Lancelot saw that these rats had come out of the corner where the rat corpses had been piled up at the beginning.

He immediately stepped forward and unsheathed his sword again.

The rain falls.

All those rats died by the sword.

For the chief knight, killing these mice is basically like killing fish on the chopping board, which is extremely easy.

"Ha..." Xia Yanzhen laughed, "Look, it's so obvious. It seems like the little thing inside can hear us."

"Don't mess around." Lancelot frowned.

This kid doesn't really obey orders.

"I'm not messing around. If you don't believe me, I'll try again." Xia Yanzhen suddenly reached out and grabbed Mary's belly.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

A large number of rats screamed, and hundreds of rats emerged from the gaps in every corner of the room and rushed over.

"Look." Xia Yanzhen smiled and took a step back.

Test success.

The mice also stopped for a moment, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Lancelot ignored this and moved at extremely fast speeds, killing these rats.

It can be seen that Lancelot is taking a more technical route, his movements are light and elegant, and his thrusts are extremely precise.

It is very handy for dealing with small things like mice.

If it were anyone else, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do what Lancelot did, and his movements would even be a bit pleasing to the eye.

Such skills and strength do not require eternal blood armor. For him, blood armor is a kind of constraint.

After all, it is armor, so it cannot completely prevent movement.

Tight jeans will affect your movement.

"It's confirmed. This will end the Kuroshio crisis. So, lend me your sword and I'll perform a caesarean section." Xia Yanzhen said.

The fetus in Mary's body didn't seem very smart, or in other words, it had to expose itself in the face of crisis.

It was almost certainly the cause of the Kuroshio siege.

In this case, it can also be solved through it.

Rats without red eyes are not that big of a threat.

Xia Yanzhen saw that there was not even a drop of blood on Lancelot's sword, maybe it was equipment.

Maybe you can borrow it before you leave—the kind you won’t return.

"Do your job well." Lancelot began to dislike Xia Yanzhen.

Young people, having too many ideas may not be a good thing.

The Pope and the Cardinal have their own plans. As knights and priests, they just need to obey.

"Don't be nosy."

At this time, the Pope, who had been silent, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Well, you're awake?" Lancelot was slightly surprised, "How's the situation?"

"Two days," the Pope said. "In just two days, I can completely absorb the power of black death and completely control the rats outside to disperse. I can feel their presence now."

Upon hearing the good news, Lancelot nodded.

"Two days are too late." Xia Yanzhen said, "Maybe the Holy City will be lost."

He and the cardinals had been too optimistic before.

The current situation is that the Holy City may not be able to defend it for two days.

"It's enough to just hold on here." The Pope said, and then explained a little more, "Don't touch that thing. Only when it is there can I absorb the power of black death."

After the Pope captured the Witch Mary, he could not directly absorb the power from her.

In fact, Mary herself cannot control this power.

Only in the next generation will there be some changes, which can barely be controlled.

The power of light controlled by the Pope is incompatible with the power of black death. The only way is to create an individual and let it become the carrier and fusion device of the two powers.

It is then absorbed by the Pope.

Fortunately, the Pope is a man and Mary is a woman. Although she has become devoid of desire, there are still some things that she can try to extract.

With a newborn baby, the Pope has the ability to absorb the power of black death.

He doesn't even wait for the fetus to be fully developed and born before he starts absorbing it.

After being continuously absorbed in power, the fetus will remain in the fetus state and will not be born until death.

The existence of the Damon siblings is a catalyst.

Let the Pope's absorption be quick.

Within a few days, the life and death of the fetus was at stake.

The fetus naturally begins to fight back.
