But it also means that since he has taken action, there is no reason for Altluchi to let him go.
"Yes." Altluchi narrowed his eyes dangerously, looked at Victor and whispered: "After all, you killed Brad, one of my most loyal knights."
"You killed the White Knight Brad?" Hearing this, the priest raised his head abruptly, his face gloomy: "So, Father Ulysses is..."
"It's me." Victor glanced at him and simply activated his magic power. Wisps of green mist gradually rose.
Oh my goodness, two enemies came to us at the same time... Speaking of which, the current situation is a bit complicated.
The Church and the Dead Apostles are mortal enemies. Logically speaking, when Altluce appears, the people of the Church should give priority to dealing with Altluce no matter what.
In this respect, the people in the church are currently their own helpers.
But he was a Dead Apostle. Nominally, his goal should be the same as Altluchi's. That was, no matter what their private hatreds were, they should unite to face the enemy when faced with it.
however……
The fact is, these two parties...are blood enemies with me.
Damn, this complicated relationship, in fact, not only Victor, but even the priest who led the agents was a little confused for a moment.
But in fact, it seems that he is not that confused. After all... even Archbishop Ulysses died at the hands of the other side. Whether it is Altluchi or Victor, they seem to have no chance of winning.
He was sure of one thing.
That is, since Artelucci also wants revenge, and if Victor and Artelucci fight...
They can choose one side and contribute a little of their insignificant combat power.
Altluchi and Victor were also well aware of this, but one of them hated it extremely and didn't care, as for the other.
Just as he was thinking about how to get the priests and other church people to help him stop Hei Ji, he collapsed and ran away.
Survival is always the first priority!
"Sure enough, you also inherited Brad's power..."
Brad's green mist really caught Altluchi's attention the first time. She tilted her head and ignored Victor's small move to quietly approach the priest's people. She just stared at him and whispered, "Are you inheriting the entire ghost fleet?"
"Well, actually I also learned some of his skills, including escaping and stuff... So... do you want to avenge him?"
Victor raised his head and tried to calm down: "Come to think of it, the Holy Wedge in your body hasn't been removed yet, is it really okay to release your abilities on a large scale at this time?"
"Ha." Hearing Victor's words, Artluqi laughed, angrily. She suddenly glared at Victor angrily and said dangerously: "It seems that my performance not long ago was indeed quite terrible, but I don't think you will always treat me as a fool, right?"
"The sacred wedge inside me? Haha, Douglas."
"The disgusting aura in your body right now is much more serious than mine."
Altluchi's words completely silenced Victor. Indeed, his current serious condition could not be concealed even from an ordinary nun, let alone from an ancestor.
"Do you really think you can run?"
Altluqi tilted her head, looked at the silent boy, and whispered, "Escape from me."
"Or from the church...?"
“…What can we do about it?”
Hearing this, Victor couldn't help but smile bitterly. He simply asked back, "Are you going to let me wait for death?"
At this point, he could hardly hold back a sigh: "At least... without you..."
"Without me, you would be surrounded by hundreds of agents now."
Altluqi's voice interrupted Victor's sigh. She simply raised her eyes and asked, "Why do you think you can spend a whole day in peace?"
"Do you think the people in the church don't have the ability to locate a seriously injured dead apostle?"
"I'll tell you, Douglas."
Altluchi stared at Victor and said seriously:
"it's me."
"It's my presence that helps you attract the spell."
"My strength and mystery helped you resist the search. When countless hyenas rushed towards me, you were able to obtain this rare peace."
Frankly speaking, when she first arrived in this land, even though she had made the decision rationally, her resentment towards Victor still made her hesitate and conflicted.
The relationship between her and Brad as a king and his subject for hundreds of years was real, even if... even if that result was accepted by Brad, and was the best that could be achieved if Brad was bound to die, it was already the best result compared to worse results.
She also found it a little hard to accept.
But it just so happened that this group of church lackeys showed up at this time.
Especially after she suddenly heard that Ulysses had also died at the hands of the enemy, Arteluci suddenly realized that she had helped the enemy block an arrow again. She was so angry that she laughed. After she destroyed four churches along the way in a rage and completely started killing, her mood calmed down a lot.
Because of this, she was finally able to make up her mind.
Said to him: "We were even before, Douglas."
"But now, you killed my most loyal knight, and I helped you avoid trouble."
She took a deep breath and looked at Victor with a complicated but extremely firm expression.
"Now, you owe me."
"Douglas, you owe me a lot."
……
Chapter 38: The contract is concluded.
Heiji's cold words echoed in the night. Victor was slightly stunned and raised his head with a strange expression, but the people in the church all changed their expressions.
Although Heiji's words were full of complaints, for some reason, everyone present seemed to feel that... these two people would not fight.
The priest took two steps forward, and suddenly, a dark crack flashed in front of him, and demonic flames surged and burst out from between the earth.
Victor glanced over and saw that it was the Magic Sword Knight, Stulut's ability. He saw that the dark knight had stood between him and the people of the church without him knowing when, holding the magic sword, and faithfully preventing others from interrupting their conversation.
Victor suddenly lowered his head helplessly and chuckled.
"It seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess has no intention of killing me."
"Killing someone who owes me money means settling the debt..."
Heiji raised her eyes and said softly, "It's rotten."
She paused, not wanting to keep the suspense, and went straight to the point, "Brad eventually referred to you as his successor, Douglas."
"Compared to my previous invitation to you, he was even more excessive than me... He directly gave his seat to you."
Regardless of Zu's power, status, or even his final advice...
Don't kill him.
Will kill him for this price.
As a reward for him to sign the contract.
Artelucci is not only the ruler of blood, her principle itself has the concept of blood moon witness, so she is also the ruler of the contract.
In this regard, Brad didn't even feel the need to remind himself, because Altluchi knew what to do.
The supreme cause... this is what Brad was still concerned about until his death.
however……
There was a hint of sarcasm and a bit of sadness in Altluchi's eyes.
Obviously, her so-called "supreme cause" was the goal that made Brad fight for his entire life and was willing to sacrifice himself for it.
She's just a childish girl who is jealous of her sister and...discontent.
Altruci is willful, and all the Dead Apostles know this.
Altluchi was not a threat, and everyone in the church knew it.
The dignified Dead Apostle Princess inherited the existence of the Dead Apostle King, but everything she did had an impact on the Dead Apostles that was not even one-tenth of that of the "Prince White Wings".
But now, people, or dead apostles, will only reflect when they are sad. Only at this time will Altluchi be willing to be more sensible - since Brad has sacrificed his life for this supreme cause, it would be too much for her to take it lightly.
"The White Knight recommended you, Douglas."
She buried her grief deep in her heart, let reason emerge in her eyes, looked at Victor, and said calmly: "So, as long as you agree, starting from today."
"You are the White Knight Victor... Douglas."
……
After hearing this, the priests and church members outside immediately became restless.
Frankly speaking, this is the direction they least want to see.
This newly-appointed patriarch has already proven his destructiveness and threat to the church in a short period of time.
You know, it has been a long time since the Cardinal replaced a bishop due to death.
If such a powerful ancestor joins Altluchi's camp... the consequences will be unimaginable.
For this reason, their actions became more urgent, and they even fought with Stulut.
However, none of these affected Victor and Altluchi.
Victor was thinking.
He actually didn't mind being inferior to others. If possible, he had actually thought about joining Lord Bai Yi at the beginning.
Indeed, whether joining the White Winged Prince or joining Altluchi, it would ultimately mean that as a subject, it would become very difficult for him to become king, but the problem was... Victor had never thought of becoming king.
Be it the title of King of the Dead Apostles or the position of the Twenty-Seventh Ancestor, he never cared about it from the beginning.
To put it bluntly, even though he has the system, he doesn't think highly of the already weak strength of the Dead Apostles. If he really has to say a goal, Victor would rather become a powerful magician, like Edward Alexander in another world, who has influenced two-thirds of the magicians in the world.
Use ideas to influence a generation.
That is undoubtedly great.
It is in line with Victor's great conception as a modern man.
So, it doesn’t matter if I’m inferior to others.
But if he agreed now, it would conflict with his previous thoughts.
He originally planned to go to the East to live there. Although that place was mysterious and barren, before the Holy Grail War, there were generally small fights there. In the future, Tsukihime's main stage would also be there.
He wanted to make arrangements early and get out of the main sight of the big guys here.
But Arteluci must be different. Although her movements also cover the whole world, her family's power is in Europe after all. It is almost impossible for her to get away from the situation here. Besides, it must be no trivial matter for the White Wing Prince to negotiate with her.
There’s no telling what will happen next.
Europe is great, but it's too chaotic.
Victor was actually somewhat resistant to this.
He pondered for a few seconds, trying to bargain: "If I refuse..."
"Then I won't kill you either." Hearing this, Artelucci narrowed his eyes and smiled dangerously: "After all, I don't really like building power, and I don't like to force others to join."
"Just like this."
Altluqi glanced at the dozens of church members outside who were shouting and screaming: "I won't help you stop the church people anymore."
"..."
You call this not forcing?
Victor roughly estimated that Serbia was at least a week away from the East. If his whereabouts were exposed during this week... and the Holy Wedge could not be removed...
hiss.
Victor suddenly felt that the chaos in Europe was not unacceptable. At least...it seemed that it was indeed a question whether he could survive and reach the East.
……
"Okay, I agree."
As Victor said this, there was a ding sound.
The sound of mission accomplished also came to his ears.
[Epic quest, interlude, a new round of escape has been completed.]
