Chapter 893 (2/2)
??”Yes, that is I”
??”You have your father's grey hair and grey eyes,” the old h Priest of the Holy City In your terms, my position would be similar to that of a dukeBut of course, I don't own any land, nor do I need that many servants”
??”I heard that you've insisted on waiting for ed ”What happened? Why didn't they take you with them when they turned tail?”
??”I wanted to stay” the old man said solemnly as if these were his last words ”I'o with them, there won't be much time left for me I'd rather be buried in this city than start a new but short life”
??”New life?” Roland quickly seized the keywords
??”Yes Let go all of all of our duties and live a new and peaceful life for the rest of our days” Jacob's voice sounded satirical ”You've won, Your Majesty The church won't be fighting against you any intact, and so will our nightmares if you so desire”
??”Oh?” Roland said noncommittally
??”What other reasons do you think that uard this barren plateau?” The oldto perish because of you!”
??”Really? What a harsh accusation However, I don't see why I have to bear it” Roland said as he roughly understood the High Priest's intention Surely enough, the church would not let hih they did not have the force to fight back, they would try to obstruct him mentally Zero had tried the sah their intentions were different If Roland knew nothing about the Battle of Divine Will, then the news about how the demons would soon annihilate humankind would have definitely taken him by surprise Additionally, if the church manipulated the truth and made it seem like he was at fault for mankind's im his will”
??”Accusation? Sigh what gibberish Do I look like I', it appears that Her Holiness, the Pure Witch didn't tell you the truth” Jacob gave Isabella a ful look before he continued ”The church was laden with a heavy responsibility that is beyond iination and is unknown to all but a few superiors of the church You have no idea what kind of eneht over the past few centuries Now that you've ruined the church, like it or not, youto happen When the end comes for us all, you will only be able to helplessly watch on as your kingdoround!”
??”It see to attackto take any opportunities to alienate ed nals” As Roland looked at the self-righteous old priest, an old quote cae, and all the men and women merely players
??”You don't have to believe me, but a truth is a truth” As the priest said this, another sentence eed in Roland's head: People die if they are killed Jacob let out a long breath after he finished those words He then flipped open the book in his hands and handed it over, saying, ”This is the Canon of the church You'll understand all the foolish things you've done after you read it! Our no, I should say the hus' real enemy is—”
??”The deht?” Roland chipped in casually ”You built the Holy City here not to fight against the demonic beasts, but for the God's Stone mines in the mountain There's a Pivotal Secret Area under the cathedral, where you mined the God's Stones and made the God's Punishment Army, and that's the true form of the church Of course, I don't know if you've learned this information, for only the pope was entitled to know of the incarnation cere to tell me the Battle of Divine Will or the Divine Smile? The battle that occurs every 400 or so is no news to hosts either In fact, I've fought against them before So what else do you want me to know?”
