Chapter 488 Gru and Catherine

In the spring in Bracada, it is snowy and freezing.

The spring heat of Over is rolling and the fire is scorching.

In [Misty Rain City], Erathia's troops have been shrinking their offensive for three consecutive days, and they seem to be unable to defeat [Fortress of Sin].

Even the ballistas and catapults used for sieges have been withdrawn from the frontal battlefield.

Although it has not been clearly announced yet, many hell soldiers in [Guilty Castle] are already cheering for the upcoming victory.

But Gru knew very well that Catherine did not choose to give up at all.

The purpose of bending the bow and pulling the string without drawing it is to aim at the target.

The fists were clenched and the steps were retreated in order to accumulate strength and blast out.

The tense atmosphere in [Misty Rain City] has reached a high point.

Catherine was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that Qige had promised him.

To achieve the goal of confusing the enemy, more command is naturally required.

During this period, Catherine was more tired than usual, which made Gru even more distressed.

Gru is unwilling to meet Catherine.

This was related to an agreement between him and Catherine.

That agreement made the relationship between him and Catherine very awkward.

She knew he was protecting her, and she wanted to see him, but she had to pretend not to know.

He knew and she knew that he was protecting her, but he also had to pretend that he wasn't.

After all, Catherine is also a wife in name, and she is still the queen of Erathia, so she still needs a fig leaf.

Gru seems to be happy with his embarrassing identity.

"It doesn't matter to me, as long as Catherine can ride a unicorn for one day, I will protect her for one day.

But if she can't ride it! !

Well, let’s talk about it then. "

Originally, this kind of tacit understanding should always exist.

However, Catherine took the initiative to break the rules between the two.

After finishing her day's work, Catherine closed all the curtains, locked the door, and then turned off the lights in the room.

In the darkness, Catherine's chest rose and fell several times. Finally, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and whispered:

"Gru, are you there?"

"I am here."

Without even waiting for a second, Catherine heard Gru's voice.

That familiar voice always made her feel extremely reassured.

In the silence, Gru's voice was obviously not loud, but it made Catherine's heartbeat suddenly accelerate.

The two fell silent at the same time, and there were only two heartbeats and two breathing sounds left in the room.

Gradually, the sounds of breathing began to synchronize, and then the sounds of heartbeats began to synchronize.

Four voices became two.

"You're looking for me?"

Gru broke the silence.

Catherine moved her mouth, wanting to talk about romance before getting down to business.

Such as missing, such as gratitude, such as... love.

But she opened her mouth for a long time, but in the end she couldn't say anything, so the words that came to her mouth became:

"Yeah. I'm looking for you.

Gru, I want to ask you a favor. "

"Don't use please, I'm not used to it."

Gru's breathing became heavier.

"Then, Gru, do me a favor."

Gru's voice returned to calmness.

"Okay, you say."

"Send a letter to Qi Ge for me.

The things in this letter are very important, and I don’t trust those Yasha Gods to deliver it to me.

But I don’t know where Qi Ge is. After much thought, it’s only you. "

"Is it about beating Ofer again?"

"Um."

"good."

In the darkness, Catherine felt the envelope in her hand being pulled away instantly.

Her fingers pinched, but felt nothing.

"Don't worry, it's not a love letter, so you can't peek at it."

Gru, who was about to use his magic eyes to penetrate the envelope, paused.

He replied seriously:

"Don't worry, I'm not that stingy."

"Um."

There was silence between the two again.

Gru knew he should leave, but he didn't want to leave.

It was rare that Catherine took the initiative to break the rules, so he also wanted to say more.

After thinking about it, Gru finally sighed and said:

"Catherine.

Don't push yourself too hard, you're too tired. "

Catherine smiled bitterly and replied:

"What can we do? Someone is always tired."

"Why does it have to be you?"

"I am the queen."

King, should you be so tired?

Gru thought of Avery.

He is now the nominal supreme leader of Avili, a king without the title of king.

But in fact he did almost nothing for Aveili.

But Avili has been running very well.

Because there are talents such as Marodia, Jenny, Jenova, etc., who have been managing the operation of Avili.

This shows that the king does not necessarily have to be tired.

Gru sighed softly and said:

“In the final analysis, Erathia still has too few talents.

From common people to officials, even those heroes, even those legendary heroes.

They are all idiots who believe in the church. "

Hearing this, Catherine's heartstrings were touched.

"Why."

She smiled bitterly and said:

"In Qige's letter to me, he told me a story."

story? !

Gru suddenly became alert.

"what story?"

"Qi Ge said that there are many churches in their world chosen by God Asa.

Especially in the past history of their world, many religions existed at the same time.

There are two religions among them, one is called Catholicism and the other is Judaism.

A long time ago, there was a big businessman named Giannotto, a man of integrity, noble moral character, and a Catholic.

He had a good friend named Abraham, a Jew, also very rich, and also a man of high moral character, but he believed in Judaism.

Giannotto heard that Jewish believers were hypocritical and worried that his friend's soul would perish in a hundred years, so he urged him to convert to his Catholic faith.

But Abraham believed that only Judaism in the world was the most sacred, and he would remain faithful to his faith until death.

But Giannotto was unwilling to give up at all, and instead tried to persuade him again and again.

Eventually, Abraham compromised.

But the premise is that he must go to the Catholic cathedral in person and see with his own eyes what the pope and the four cardinals do.

If it was as good as Giannotto said, he would convert to Catholicism.

Hearing this, Giannotto immediately felt guilty.

Because Giannotto knew clearly that the Pope and his staff lived a dissolute and shameless life.

If Abraham were to see it, any hope of converting him would be in vain.

So Giannotto found various reasons to persuade Abraham not to go to Rome and to be baptized nearby.

But Abraham was determined, unmoved, and insisted on going.

Giannotto had no choice but to wish him a safe journey.

Abraham set off immediately. After arriving in Rome, he used his business as a cover to secretly observe the life styles of the pope, cardinals, bishops and other priests in the Holy See.

After a period of understanding, he discovered that the Catholic people were all shameless people from top to bottom.

They are greedy for money and lust, do all kinds of evil, violate human ethics, indulge in male habits, have no scruples, and have long lost their sense of shame.

They openly engaged in prostitution, foster care, and molested children in broad daylight. All of them were lustful ghosts, drunkards and ricebags.

What's even more incredible is that they are greedy, love money as much as their lives, and are willing to traffic in people and clergy to make money. All these things are too numerous to describe.

When Abraham saw all this, he immediately set out for home, not wanting to stay in Rome for a moment longer.

Hearing that his friend had returned, Giannotto went to visit him and test Abraham's views on the Roman Catholic Church.

Abraham angrily recounted everything he had seen and heard there. At the end he said:

‘It has long become a melting pot of all evils. Those so-called cardinals and archbishops are destroying Catholicism. They are the gravediggers of Catholicism. ’

After hearing this, Giannotto couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.

Abraham continued:

'However, the reality is that no matter how much these morons try to bring down Catholicism, it still stands and is growing stronger day by day.

This made me believe that God must be the pillar and foundation for it.

In other words, Catholicism is indeed greater and more sacred than other religions.

My dear friend, I have made the decision to convert to Catholicism. ’

Giannotto was so happy that it was beyond words.

He immediately accompanied his close friend to the baptism.

Soon Abraham became a devout Catholic. "

At this point, Catherine burst into laughter.

"Qi Ge said that he was quite sure that his world was different from ours.

There is no god in their world chosen by Asa.

And the Abraham in the story must have known this very well.

But Abraham still chose to join Catholicism.

This was not because Abraham was stupid, but because Abraham was so smart.

He knew very well that with his family background and ability, as long as he joined the Catholic Church, he would soon be able to live the same heavenly life on earth as those who had fallen.

Gru, I once thought, like you, that there are too few smart people who can see through the true nature of the church.

But I didn’t understand until I saw Qi Ge’s letter.

It’s not that there are too few smart people, it’s that there are too many smart people.

This is the case in a world without God, let alone our world with God. "

Catherine smiled bitterly:

“In Erathia, stupid people like me, Mrak, and Qige are the minority.

But there are always some stupid people who stand up, go against the wind, and do things that smart people are unwilling to do.

Only our country and its people can have hope. "

Gru's Adam's apple twitched.

It was obviously a dark night and he didn't open his magic vision, but he always felt that Catherine's body was glowing.

What makes me so attached to her, even to the point of losing my mind, is this holy light in her body.

Gru said softly:

“Beyond the gods, there is the Mother Goddess.

Catherine, the Mother Goddess will see this. "

"Um?"

Gru took a deep breath and said:

“Everything you do, the Mother Goddess will see.

Although you may not care, I want to say that everything you do will be rewarded. "

"Yeah. Haha."

Catherine laughed.

"Repay? Maybe the Mother Goddess has already given it to me in advance.

For example, you? "

Phew~

A gust of breeze suddenly blew open the curtains, causing Catherine's hair to fly.

Catherine gently pushed down the hair from the corners of her mouth with her hands and complained softly:

"Run away at this point, you coward."

…

…

"Coward!! Stop!"

"I won't! I will run.

If you don’t chase me, I will stop! "

"Ouch! Come on, first mate! Don't be caught up!"

"Go, go, go!"

Ciruno chased, but the seven pigeons ran away.

There was laughter and laughter on the Blue Whale.

Adri looked at this scene with some confusion. The savior jointly chosen by the God of Destiny and the God of Magic had such a cheerful personality, which was really beyond her expectation.

In the end, those who could run on two legs could not compete with those who could fly in the sky, and Qi Ge was still caught by Cirno.

Cirno froze the bodies of the seven pigeons, leaving only one head.

She stepped on Qi Dove's head and complained angrily:

"Asshole! You pulled out all my mushrooms and made me hungry for six days!

I almost starved to death! ! "

Qi Ge was confused:

"Six days?! How could you be hungry for six days?

The fairy ring mushrooms will grow back a week after they are plucked.

Didn’t I leave you 7 jars of honey?

It should be enough for you to eat for a week. "

Cirno puffed out her chest confidently:

"Who can bear to put honey there? I ate it all on the first day!"

Qi Ge:......

Qige asked suspiciously:

"If you can get all seven jars of honey, you must have seen the fairy house, right?

In other words, you know I plucked all the mushrooms.

Have you never thought about how you will survive after eating all the honey? "

"Hmm."

Cirno became more confident:

"You don't really think I'm an idiot, do you? Of course I did.

I did some calculations and determined that I would eat if I couldn't starve to death for six days! "

Qi Ge:......

"Then you are really smart."

"Hmph, right. I think so too."

Qige said cautiously:

"In this case, you see, you asked me to pull it out casually, so I just took it casually.

And I also considered the possibility that you were hungry, so I left a few extra jars of honey.

You are hungry because you made a decision of your own volition to eat up all the honey after careful consideration.

Therefore, no matter how you think about it, you don’t seem to be able to blame me. "

Cirno opened her mouth blankly, paused on Qi Ge's head, thought for a while, and said:

"That's right.

Then I'll let you go. "

The thawed Qi Ge put his hands on his head, wanting to catch Cirno but not daring to do so.

In the Arctic Ocean, the ice fairy clan controls the water element channel and the air element channel. Who dares to mess with them?

He could only say with a grimace:

"Lord Cirno, can you get off my head?"

"snort."

Cirno flew away from the seven pigeons' heads and flew to Adrid's side.

She stood on Adrid's shoulder, chattering something, and looking at Qi Ge from time to time, sticking out her tongue and making faces at Qi Ge.

Ah this...

No matter how you look at it, it looks like you are talking bad about me.

Tsk, bad woman, petty, and deserves to be retarded.

"Seven doves, seven doves, seven doves."

Seeing the liberation of Qi Ge, Sylvia immediately rushed over.

As soon as she reached out, she grabbed Qi Ge's neck, and then clamped Qi Ge's neck hard under her armpits.

Qi Ge felt that his right cheek was pressed tightly against Sylvia's big softness.

If it weren't for the leather breastplate, this would have been a very erotic experience.

But now, Qi Ge just wants to break free quickly.

"Yeah, yeah, head, head, head, my head is so crowded.

Sylvia, spare your life, spare your life! "

"Let's go, let's chat alone!"

Sylvia pulled Seven Pigeons all the way to the darkness of the cabin where no one could be seen.

She didn't let go of Qi Ge, she just clicked her tongue and asked:

"Tell me the truth, when did you provoke Aadrid?

Damn it, it’s not enough to have me, Adela and Sosa, you even want Adela!

A philanderer.

The only beauty left in Erathia is Her Majesty Catherine. Do you even want to deceive Her Majesty? ! "

"Nonsense!"

Qi Ge, who is unyielding and has limited movement, categorically denies:

"Obviously there are also Wilsky, Taris, Seiya, and Caitlin."

Sylvia was furious:

"How dare you think about it!"

Feeling Sylvia's sudden increase in strength, Qi Ge did not dare to continue being playful and quickly begged for mercy:

"No, no, no, my neck is about to break, let go, let go,

I was wrong. I was wrong. "

Sylvia said seriously:

"Qi Ge, I have to warn you.

I’ll forget it, Adela is not as easy to talk to as me.

To be honest, in all of Erathia, the only person who can compare with Adela in appearance is Adela.

When many bards in Erathia ranked Adela and Adrid in the first and second positions.

Moreover, many people rank Adriatic first and Adela second.

Although Adela always pretends to be indifferent, you must not underestimate a woman's jealousy and desire to win. "

Sylvia whispered:

"Since Adela went to the north, Adela has not seen Adela once, not even once!

Be careful if your harem catches fire! "

Qi Ge:......

There is such a thing! !

He really didn't know about this.

In her previous life, Adela had always been a very indifferent saint.

When Qi Ge accepted the mission from her, the mission line never intersected with the Northern Territory.

If what Sylvia said is true, then...

"That doesn't have any impact.

I, Qi Ge, am dedicated to the public and have absolutely no selfish intentions.

What harem or no harem? It's not true. Don't talk nonsense."

Sylvia looked at Qi Ge with disdain:

"You have become the guardian knight of Adela, but you still secretly write letters to Adri every day.

Your behavior has fully exposed your ill intentions and ulterior motives!

By the way, what have you been doing during this period?

Didn't you agree to take me to the Chaos Sea?

You have been preparing for so long."

"During this period, I have done a lot of things."

Qi Ge gently patted Sylvia's hand and said:

"Open up, I will tell you."

...

...

"If the large-scale war between Bracada and Negan continues, it will be detrimental to our entire Yasha world.

Therefore, I must find a way to end this war quickly.

In order to ensure success, I started from multiple places.

1. Under the guise of Chengfeng, I told the Thunder Lords that behind this war, it was not just Bracada fighting Nigan, there was a third force involved.

Moreover, behind this third force stood an extremely powerful true god.

In this way, if Bracada wanted to continue the attack, it would have to be wary of the influence of the Air Elemental Clan.

Second, Moril and I destroyed many mines and factories in the hinterland of Bracada, greatly reducing Bracada's long-term war potential.

Third, and the most important point.

As the top legion of Bracada, the Thunder Lord Legion went deep into Oufu alone, and Bracada would most likely send troops to rescue.

Even if those mages and lamp gods were unwilling to rescue, the Thunder Temple would order the troops to rescue.

The fertility of Titans is not much stronger than that of the Dragon Clan, and the Titan Clan can definitely not afford the loss of the destruction of this Thunder Lord Legion. "

After hearing what Qi Ge said, Sylvia was dumbfounded, and his mouth opened as big as an egg.

"In such a short time, you have done such a big thing!!

Secretly manipulate the war between the two major forces?!

Oh my God, Qi Ge, you are too cruel!

By the way, you also conquered the Dragon Queen Muriel!

While conquering Muriel, you wrote a letter to Adriel.

Oh my God, Qi Ge, you are too bad!"

Qi Ge's face turned black.

"Don't talk nonsense, Muriel and I are pure allies.

When I was with her, I used a fake identity throughout the whole process. If you have the opportunity to meet her, don't expose me."

"Wait a minute, Qi Ge, you exposed Wei Chengfeng, isn't she in danger?"

"Don't be afraid." Qi Ge smiled slightly.

"Chengfeng is my follower, and she and I can be seen as one.

All prophecies pointing to her will eventually point to me.

And all prophecies pointing to me will be blocked.

Don't forget, fate is my ally.

I estimate that Bracada will soon shift its target of attack.

This time, there may be a big scene where troops from three different directions attack Over at the same time.

When Over can't hold on any longer, we will go down the river with Adri from the north of Over to pick the last peach!"

Speaking of Adri, Qi Ge suddenly remembered that he had just accepted a task.

While he was talking, he clicked on the task to check it out.

[System prompt: Accept the task: Shadow of Magic Second Ring]

Task name: Shadow of Magic

Second Ring: Crisis of Ice Barrier.

Task level: Golden Demigod

Task requirements: Guard the Ice Barrier.

Task reward: Unknown.

Task description:

Adri shoulders the mission of the goddess of magic.

She has strong magic power and strong specialties.

But because of her strength, Adri was also envied and excluded by the cardinals of the church.

Although Adried has absolute control over the northern part of Erathia, the northern part of Erathia is the most desolate and backward place in the whole of Erathia.

Adried is nominally the ruler of the north, but she needs the consent of the Holy Angel Church to leave the north.

Perhaps, you can find a way to help her enter the power core of Erathia.

The ice fairies in the extreme north of the Yasha world are very happy to help you and Adried.

But before that, it seems that there are still some things that need you to solve.

Perhaps, you can find the ice fairies to ask. 】

Qi Ge:?

"The crisis of the ice barrier... Just listening to the name, you know it must be a very troublesome task.

It is a forced second-ring task, and I don't even have the opportunity to refuse."

Qi Ge has a headache.

"When I was picking mushrooms in the fairy ring, was it destined that this day would come?

Shit.

As expected.

Every gift from fate has a price tag in secret.

And the compounding interest and violent debt collection that follow.

It's easy to borrow but hard to pay back."
