Chapter 40

Although the identity of a hero is very important, Wadsworth and Santa Monica also want to attract Qin Chu to their camp. But they are proud of their status and position, and even if they want to attract him, they will not go too far.

Only Augustus is different. His enthusiasm even makes Qin Chu a little creepy.

When he saw the hero again, Augustus's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of light.

Qin Chu's strength has increased a lot.

The aura of the first level of Xingyan Dou Qi seemed to be unable to be fully controlled because he had just broken through, and his hair occasionally revealed a little spark.

In Augustus' eyes, Qin Chu's strength is about level 10. Compared to him, he is as weak as a toad. He can easily poke him to death with just one finger.

However, as long as you think that Qin Chu has only been in this world for a few days, and he really started to practice Dou Qi with Ekaterina yesterday afternoon. In such a short time, he can break through the first level. This talent is really terrifying.

He is worthy of being a hero.

Even though Augustus himself could definitely be called a genius, his progress was not as exaggerated as Qin Chu's. Even the first generation of heroes were far less talented than Qin Chu.

Qin Chu's excellent talent and strength made Augustus both surprised and worried.

The surprise was that if he could control Qin Chu, he would have an extra bargaining chip to fight against the high gods.

The worry was that it might not be easy to control such an exaggerated existence of talent and strength.

If Augustus knew that Qin Chu's strength was just the tip of the iceberg, Augustus would probably be not only surprised and worried, but also terrified.

After a brief thought, Augustus quickly suppressed his thoughts. He invited Qin Chu to the Holy See with a smile on his face, and arranged for a beautiful nun to serve tea.

Then he smiled and said in a soothing tone: "Sir, what do you want to see me for?"

Some thoughts flashed through Qin Chu's mind, and he said in a deep voice: "That's right, Your Majesty, if possible, I hope you can remove the restriction on Angelica's neck."

Sure enough!

Augustus seemed to have guessed this and did not show much surprise.

"Sir, I'm afraid this is not appropriate."

Augustus did not answer, but a voice came from outside the door.

It was Rossweisse.

When Qin Chu appeared in the Holy See, someone immediately informed Rossweisse that the influence of the saint in the Holy See was very exaggerated.

Rosweisse also did not want to see Angelica unsealed, which would bring a lot of trouble to her various actions.

"Angelica was a former sinner, and it was the magnanimity of Sir, Sir, that he was willing to keep her by his side..." Rossweisse spoke slowly. In fact, it was because Sir, Sir, was a maid control, but this statement was not very good, so Rossweisse replaced it with a better reason.

"She once planted a curse on other saint candidates. Such a woman is very dangerous. If she is unsealed, I am afraid that she will be harmful to the hero." Rossweisse said so.

Angelica just listened quietly.

She was too lazy to refute the dirty water Rossweisse threw at her.

As long as the master believed in herself, she didn't care how others viewed Angelica. She just knew that she would always have a place in the master's heart. That was enough.

She glanced at Rossweisse from the corner of her eye. This beautiful skin looked like a clown in Angelica's eyes. She even raised a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth.

Hiss...

Rossweisse, who noticed Angelica's eyes, trembled and a cluster of anger in her chest instantly churned.

Damn bastard, this little bitch is laughing? How dare she look down on herself?

Who gave her the courage?

A person who was once driven, tortured, and humiliated by herself at will, now has the qualifications to look down on herself?

Two beautiful people, two equally beautiful golden eyes, staring at each other.

There seemed to be an arc flashing in the middle.

Anyone could feel the oppressive, stormy atmosphere.

The nuns around looked at each other, too nervous to speak.

Augustus watched this scene with a smile. The more tense the relationship between Angelica and Rossweisse, the better.

He didn't want to see Rossweisse and Qin Chu get too close, after all, the dirty blood was flowing in her body.

Only Qin Chu seemed to be completely unaware of the tense atmosphere around him, tapping his fingers on the armrest: "Well, I don't know about the past, and I don't really want to know."

"But now, Angelica is my woman, understand?"

Angelica is my woman!

When these words came out, Augustus' face suddenly showed a look of understanding.

Understand, all understand!

As a man, if Qin Chu hasn't touched Angelica for such a long time, then he would doubt whether there is something wrong with the hero. For a maid control, Angelica is absolutely charming.

In fact, Qin Chu has never touched Angelica...

As for Angelica, her face was instantly covered with red clouds, and her originally sharp eyes instantly became tender, and she was defeated directly in the eye duel with Rossweisse.

However, Rossweisse, who won, did not even have a little joy of victory. She always felt that she was the one who lost, and she lost especially thoroughly.

Qin Chu, this bastard, kept saying that he was very attractive and that he liked him very much, but because he was timid and unworthy of him, he didn't dare to speak to him, so he turned around and ate Angelica clean...

Haha...man...

Men other than Sir Gerald should all be this kind of thing, right?

Qin Chu had a smile on his lips, but he was thinking about another question.

Ekaterina should be awake by now, right?

It's a pity that I can't see Ekaterina's collapse with my own eyes. It would definitely be a pleasure.

The reason why I chose to come to the Holy See to find Augustus today was partly to untie the restraints on Angelica’s neck.

On the other hand, it is to avoid disaster!

Qin Chu knew Yekaterina's character very well. When Yekaterina woke up, she saw herself lying naked on the ground with red spots on the sheets. Anyone who wasn't an idiot would know what happened. whats the matter.

Although the magic potion of Alluring Love will make Ekaterina have a favorable impression of Qin Chu, such a strong stimulation can definitely suppress the favorable impression. That woman's fiery temper will definitely explode, maybe she can blow up the whole palace, and then she will come directly to the door with Yan Jue heavy sword.

She would never listen to any of her own excuses, she would definitely cut him down with a sword.

Although his strength is constantly rising, he will definitely not be considered a weakling if he unleashes all his strength. However, his hidden strength may be completely exposed. That is Qin Chu's capital, and Qin Chu does not want to expose it if possible.

Secondly, even if she uses all her strength, she is still no match for Yekaterina.

So Qin Chu needs someone who can suppress Yekaterina. Augustus, who is very hospitable, is a good tool... ah no, he is the candidate.

Augustus shouldn't just watch the brave man being killed within the Holy See, right?

Qin Chu didn't know why Augustus was so enthusiastic about him, but he just wanted to use him, and Qin Chu didn't mind using him in turn.

If he hadn't planned it in advance, Qin Chu would never have moved a finger from Ekaterina.

Augustus didn't know what Qin Chu was thinking. He just thought about it and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty the Brave, it's not that I don't give you face, it's just that Angelica was convicted after a trial by the Inquisition. There has never been a case where the results of the Inquisition have been overturned. If you want to lift Angelica's case, Jelika’s ban must be reviewed by the Tribunal, which is extremely difficult..."

Although Augustus was the pope, Augustus did not have the final say in matters within the Holy See.

Some people were sharing power with Augustus.

The person in charge of the Inquisition is the second most powerful person in the Holy See, Cardinal Douglas. This man is extremely powerful and ruthless. He was once Augustus' most powerful opponent for the position of pope.

Even if Augustus asked, Douglas would probably refuse.

In this matter, it wasn’t that Augustus didn’t want to help, but that it involved too much.

"If there is no suitable reason, it will be difficult for me to help Miss Angelica remove the seal."

Old fox!

Everyone has been a monster for thousands of years. Qin Chu naturally understood the meaning of Augustus' words. He needed a reason so that Augustus could directly release Angelica's restraint without going through the Inquisition. .

As for the reason, Qin Chu had naturally already prepared it.

"Yesterday afternoon, my favorite maid was kidnapped."

"The ones who kidnapped Angelica were two people wearing bright red nuns' uniforms. Apart from the different colors, the nuns' uniforms were almost identical in style to those of the Holy See..." Qin Chu deliberately changed the color of the nuns' uniforms from black to red.

"This is impossible..." Before Qin Chu finished speaking, Rossweisse retorted subconsciously.

"Why is it impossible?" Qin Chu seemed a little confused.

Only then did Rossweisse realize that she seemed to have made a mistake. She bit her lip with her white teeth and managed to come up with a reason in a short time: "Red is only worn by the nuns of the Inquisition, and they usually wear red." I almost always stay in the Holy See and never go out..."

Because the time was too short, Rossweisse was still too ignorant after all. She did not doubt that Angelica was attacked, but questioned the red nun uniform.

Although Qin Chu had known for a long time that Rossweisse-san had ordered this matter, Rossweisse-san's words also exposed her completely.

"Your Majesty the Saint cannot guarantee that each of them will stay in the Holy See, right?" Qin Chu raised his eyebrows and retorted.

Rossweisse was speechless for a moment. She was very sure that this matter had nothing to do with the Inquisition. After all, Maggie and Sana were the dead soldiers she and Douglas had cultivated privately.

However, there was really no way to tell Qin Chu the reason.

Augustus glanced at Rossweisse inadvertently, and he had basically made an inference in his mind, but he did not pierce the window paper, but showed some surprise: "Is there such a thing? Then and after?"

"The two nuns took out a pink potion and hoped that Angelica could add the potion to my food. They seemed to want to use that potion to manipulate my consciousness."

"Although she was cruelly tortured by the other party, Angelica still refused to obey. The other party had no choice but to take out a magic scroll controlled by spiritual consciousness and wanted to turn Angelica into their puppet."

Rossweisse lowered her eyes and said nothing.

"Angelica doesn't want to be the other party's tool to manipulate me and plans to commit suicide..."

"Then why did Miss Angelica survive?" Augustus was a little confused.

"Because a mysterious man appeared and rescued Angelica."

"Mysterious man?" Rossweisse narrowed her eyes slightly: "What kind of mysterious man? You must thank this man. If it weren't for him, the hero's maid would have been killed."

Qin Chu spread his hands and said, "Angelica didn't see the other person's appearance clearly. After all, that person was wearing a burqa, but his voice seemed to be that of an old man, and his rank should be that of a warrior. After all, he could kill easily with just his fists. Two nuns died."

Qin Chu deliberately provided some confusing clues, and he was dividing Rossweisse and Augustus.

He was sure that Rossweisse would definitely figure it out on her own based on these messy clues.

As expected, Rossweisse didn't speak anymore, but frowned and looked solemn.

The person who killed the two nuns should not be Qin Chu. After all, Qin Chu did not leave the palace, and Qin Chu's strength could not be the opponent of Maggie and Sana.

The other person was wearing a burqa, which was obviously to hide his true identity.

The voice is old...an old man?

The old man... Augustus, right?

Although Augustus was only fifty years old, his body seemed to have been damaged due to his excessive study of magic, and he looked in his sixties or seventies.

However, Augustus was a magician, and the murderer who killed Sana and Maggie used physical means...

With Augustus' level and strength, he could easily kill Sana and Maggie with just a scepter.

This is most likely just Augustus' disguise!

That's how it is with people. When she determines something in her heart, all her subconscious thoughts will go here, so that she can become more and more convinced of her inner speculation.

These things must have been done by Augustus.

This pope not only looted all the treasures in his room, but even killed Maggie and Sana.

And his purpose was very obvious, that is, he didn't want to control Qin Chu.

He even wanted to replace his position as a saint with Angelica.

Angelica's referring to the black-robed nuns as red-robed nuns must have been at the instigation of Augustus. Next, Augustus will definitely make the brave man keep it secret as a condition, so that he can naturally unlock the restraint on Angelica's neck...

Augustus looked solemn: "I'm sorry, Lord Brave, those two red-robed nuns may not be members of the Holy See. They are probably disguised by others. However, please don't make it public about this matter..."

After all, if these things spread, it will bring bad reputation to the Holy See. Qin Chu nodded happily.

"Miss Angelica would rather commit suicide than harm the hero, which is enough to prove her absolute loyalty to the hero. If this is the case, then I will release the restriction for Miss Angelica..." Augustus said.

Look, I’ll just say it!

Rossweisse sneered in her heart. Sure enough, she had guessed everything.

The next step, Augustus' plan should be to restore Angelica's reputation, expose his dirty information, and then drag himself down from his position as a saint. This hateful bastard will never let him succeed.

At this point, Rossweisse no longer had any doubts that Augustus was the mastermind behind the scenes!
