Chapter 278

A figure is hurrying forward in the imperial city.

It is a man.

The wrinkled cheeks show that the man is not young.

His gray hair is neatly combed, and he is wearing a noble priest costume with gold threads.

This is the Pope of the Holy See, Augustus.

He is heading to the Earth Mother Church, because the message from Santa Monica came too suddenly, Augustus didn't even have time to prepare a carriage, and he hurried over.

Today, he wants to discuss an important matter with Santa Monica.

That is, how to get rid of the hero... and get the body of the hero!

Chapter 331 The Secret Only Saint Monica Knows (1)

In the Imperial City, it was drizzling in the sky.

Augustus' figure walked quickly on the muddy road, splashing small pieces of water.

From the moment Qin Chu descended on the Sky Continent... no, even before that, Augustus had already been planning to use the power of the brave to fight against those terrible enemies.

From the night he served the gods, his life was filled with pain and hatred, like sticky blood soaking his body.

He could not forget that he did not even have the courage to save his lover. He could only kneel on the ground, his face covered with blood and tears, and fell into the abyss amid his lover's desperate and painful cries.

He longed for redemption, but could not see the slim hope.

Humans have their limits.

Even if he could reach the limit of humans and reach level 100, he would be just as ridiculous as a stronger ant in front of those beings... No, it is more likely that in the eyes of those beings, there is no difference between him, an ant, and other ants. They are just things that can be destroyed with a breath.

They are so powerful that they make people collapse.

The brave man became Augustus' only hope.

The brave man from outside the Sky Continent can break through the limits of this world and may have the power to destroy those strange existences.

Augustus wanted to use the power of the brave man. The stronger the power of the brave man, the greater the hope.

But after experiencing the cruelest night, Augustus's character had already become extremely distorted. He did not trust anyone. Only when he had this power in his own hands could he feel at ease.

He wanted to control Qin Chu, but Qin Chu's progress was too exaggerated. His strength was getting stronger and stronger, and the forces gathered around him were getting more and more exaggerated, which made Augustus feel a strong threat.

In the next year, two years, ten years, twenty years, perhaps the brave man could have the power to fight against those existences, but he had long lost the ability to control the brave man.

At this time, inspired by Karsus's alienation into a monster, Augustus's secret research had a breakthrough. Although there were some risks, he had no better choice.

For Augustus now, the dead brave man is more useful than the living brave man. The body of the brave man is the most precious treasure.

But now Qin Chu is no longer a weak guy who can be killed by a slap just after entering the Sky Continent. It is almost impossible for him to destroy the hero by himself.

Just like a lot of insiders of the Earth Mother Church and the royal family in the Holy Church, Augustus also planted some spies in the Earth Mother Church. Augustus knows a little about Santa Monica's situation and the content of the Earth Mother Church's oracle.

Santa Monica wants to murder the hero!

This is a partner that can be cooperated with.

Augustus once hinted at the image of cooperation to Santa Monica, but was rejected by Santa Monica. Unexpectedly, he suddenly contacted himself today, which made Augustus overjoyed.

Maybe this time, the two can form an alliance.

Thinking of this, Augustus's pace quickened again.

Unfortunately, the insider did not report intelligence as usual today, and no one knew what he was doing.

...

In the Holy Temple of the Earth Mother Church, the Church Master Santa Monica knelt devoutly in front of the luxurious throne that symbolized identity and status.

The seat that should have been hers was occupied by a man who sat there carelessly.

"Hmm!" Santa Monica made an unclear sound. She wanted to ask some questions: "Supreme Lord of Pleasure..."

Although she was a little unfamiliar, she did a very careful and good job of post-processing.

Qin Chu knew Santa Monica's problem and interrupted her before she finished speaking. After all, it was not convenient for Santa Monica to speak now: "His soul has been devoured by me. I have occupied this body. In private, I am the Lord of Pleasure."

"But in front of outsiders, everything remains the same. Do you understand?"

Qin Chu continued to fool around.

As if to verify his statement, the supreme majesty, dignity, elegance and charm on his body were gradually converging. In just a few seconds, the man in front of him seemed to have become the real Qin Chu.

There was some regret in Santa Monica's eyes. Compared with the appearance of this person who was not ordinary but still just a human being, Santa Monica was more looking forward to the supreme glory.

But while feeling regretful, his eyes were full of admiration. He was indeed the supreme lord of joy, able to switch perfectly between gods and mortals.

Judging from the current appearance, demeanor, and temperament, there is almost no difference from the original Qin Chu.

No one would doubt that this man was Qin Chu, he was so similar in disguise.

Huh, those are just a bunch of idiots. Only he understands what a noble soul is hidden in this body that is exactly the same as Qin Chu.

Thinking that this was a secret that only she knew, Santa Monica couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness in her heart.

Santa Monica's aftermath work had been completed. She raised her head slightly and looked expectantly at the Master of Joy who had turned into Qin Chu in front of her. Although he did not have the same supreme dignity as before, at least he could look directly at this person now. A great being, she is looking forward to it.

In fact, it was just because the traces of divinity in his body had been squeezed to the limit by Qin Chu like a black-hearted boss, and he could no longer hold on.

Seeing Santa Monica's appearance, Qin Chu smiled slightly, patted the forehead of this woman who was older than him, and praised: "Well, Santa Monica, you did a good job."

A smile suddenly broke out on Santa Monica's face. Nothing could satisfy her more than a compliment from the great being she believed in.

At this moment, Qin Chu and Santa Monica sensed someone approaching the church almost at the same time.

Sure enough, not long after, a nun's voice came from outside the church: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Holy See Pope Augustus is here to visit..."

Augustus?

In an instant, Santa Monica's expression was full of strangeness.

She remembered that before the Lord of Joy came to the temple, she had used message magic to contact Augustus to discuss murdering the brave man together.

Who would have thought that the so-called brave man is actually the Lord of Joy.

Santa Monica quickly explained, her heart filled with panic, worried that the Lord of Joy would be angry because of this.

But what Santa Monica didn't expect was that there was no anger at all on Qin Chu's face, and there was even a slight smile.

It seems that because the second week project adopted a completely different style of conduct from the first week project, many things have changed.

Not only did Santa Monica attack him in advance, Augustus also seemed to be preparing to attack him in advance.

"Santa Monica, you will welcome Augustus well later, and discuss with Augustus carefully how to murder... ahem, murder the brave man, do you understand? I want to know all of Augustus' plans. ." Qin Chu said quietly.

Sure enough, it is much easier to get things done when there are more people.

Although Santa Monica was a little suspicious, she nodded.

"Is there any place in this temple where I can hide?" Qin Chu asked, raising his eyebrows.

"There's a confessional in the back."

…

In the somewhat gloomy confessional room, there is a statue of the Mother Earth. One hand of the statue is stroking the earth under its feet, and the other hand is holding tightly the ears of wheat that symbolize the harvest.

Looking at the statue of the Mother Earth Goddess, Qin Chu felt a little shocked.

Thinking of what he had just done in the church and how he had desecrated the church, he felt very embarrassed.

He clasped his hands on his chest and confessed for a while. It seemed that this was not the etiquette of the Earth Mother Goddess Cult... Well, it didn't matter. The great goddess probably wouldn't care about this little thing.

After confessing for a few seconds, Qin Chu immediately raised his ears and listened to the movements in the church outside.

In the church, Santa Monica quickly took out a brand new robe and put it on her body. With a wave of her hand, she put away all the broken cloth on the ground. After looking at it, there seemed to be nothing strange. Then he waved his hand and dispersed the soundproof barrier, and then took the initiative to walk out of the church.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the church, he saw Augustus, whose hair was a little wet from the rain, standing in front of the door, with a kind smile still on his face.

Santa Monica seemed to have completely recovered her gentle and elegant appearance. Her graceful body bowed to Augustus: "Your Excellency Augustus, why did you come so fast? It's raining... You didn't Take a carriage ride? ’

Augustus smiled heartily: "Your Excellency Santa Monica summons, how dare you delay?"

"It wasn't raining very much, so I walked here by myself."

As he spoke, a surge of magic power rose up from Augustus, and strong water vapor began to roll over his head. After a few seconds, the water stains on his clothes and hair had been completely evaporated.

Under the hospitality of Santa Monica, Augustus entered the church.

His consciousness spread out instantly, and apart from himself and Santa Monica, there was no third person in the huge church.

Augustus is confident that in the human world, no one can escape his own perception.

But what does it smell like?

After the nuns served fragrant tea and left under Santa Monica's order, Augustus had already carefully considered his words and spoke slowly: "Your Excellency, Santa Monica, are you willing to cooperate now?"

Santa Monica did not answer directly. She seemed to be hesitant: "Your Excellency Augustus, if you kill the brave man, who will fight against the monster?"

"You and I both know very well that we are no match for the Demon King."

Augustus seemed to have expected that something like this would happen, and did not panic at all: "Your Excellency Santa Monica, please don't worry at all."

"As long as you give me the body of the hero, I can create a powerful, real war machine."

"It will be even more powerful than the living hero, and it will be no problem to destroy monsters."

Chapter 332 Santa Monica, come and hunt the hero with me (2)

Perhaps to gain the trust of Santa Monica, and after checking that there was no third person here except the two of them. At the same time, there was no true vision eye, magic image or anything like that, so Augustus even revealed a little bit of his secrets.

This is also helpful to show his importance and sincerity to the cooperation. At the same time, he also has some handles on Santa Monica, so he is not worried too much.

In the confessional, Qin Chu's mind moved when he heard this. What on earth did Augustus want to do? Transform his corpse into a powerful fighting machine, even stronger than his normal self?

Where did this old guy get his confidence from?

Santa Monica frowned even more, and was a little angry in his heart. Augustus, this bastard, actually wanted to transform Qin Chu's body? You know, this body now belongs to the great Lord of Pleasure, how can you desecrate it?

But Santa Monica remembered the Lord of Pleasure's instructions. She disguised herself well and did not show her anger, but was a little confused: "Transform?"

"How to transform?"

"Augustus, you are not involved in the magic of the dead, right?"

The magic of the dead is a power that summons the dead, and transforms, strengthens, and arms the corpse to fight for itself.

The necromancer used to be rampant on the Sky Continent, because he did not need to practice and meditate as hard as other magicians. As long as he could find a corpse that was very powerful when he was alive, he could immediately form a powerful fighting force.

Even if they couldn't find a powerful corpse, some necromancers began to create a numerical advantage, with a large group of dead bodies and ghosts around them, one person was an army.

Because it was easy to learn and had strong combat power, it was particularly popular for a period of time.

However, the power of necromancers was based on the terrible thing that other people's ancestral graves were dug up, so necromancers were hated by almost all other magicians, warriors, knights, and archers.

In the end, a frenzy of hunting necromancers was set off on the continent, and necromancy ended, and even all kinds of spells that recorded necromancy were destroyed.

Hearing that Augustus would transform the body of the hero, the first thing Santa Monica thought of was necromancy.

Augustus chuckled: "How could it be..."

"I won't get involved in that kind of filthy things."

"I'm sorry, Lord Santa Monica, I can't tell you the details."

Santa Monica was not surprised. It was not easy to tell her this. She didn't ask for more, but her fair and gentle face showed a hint of mockery: "Lord Augustus, don't you think I'm a fool?"

"You will become the most powerful existence in the Sky Continent after destroying the hero and holding his body. I don't think this is a good thing for me."

Augustus was not angry, and his smile remained unchanged. It was normal for Santa Monica to have such doubts. If this woman easily believed his words and agreed to cooperate with him, Augustus would suspect that there was a trick.

"You don't have to worry about this, Mr. Santa Monica. If we can reach a cooperation, you can personally participate in the transformation process. All my skills, experience, and knowledge will be shared with you."

"You also have the authority to control this combat machine."

Santa Monica did not answer, as if thinking about something.

Augustus understood what Santa Monica was worried about, but he needed a helper, a helper with common interests and goals.
