The parish of Holy Zero, the headquarters of the Church of Necessary Evil, is located in St. George's Cathedral in London.

Compared with St. George's Church, which is the oldest in the UK and is located in Penang, Malaysia, St. George's Chapel here is more solemn and full of religious flavor.

Both the decoration and the arrangement here are very elaborate and old, and there are traces of magic on it, which must have been precipitated by many years.

It stands to reason that it would be difficult to preserve these ancient artifacts in such a situation, so this is when magic is used, and it is time magic.

You must know that time magic is one of the most complex techniques in the entire magic system, not to mention proficient, and there are not even a few that can be done by preliminary mastery, so from this point of view, the Church of Necessary Evil is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

From the first time Edwin saw Laura, he understood what Aresta meant by that warning, not only because of her intelligence, but also because he couldn't see through her strength.

That's right, I can't see through it, at least Edwin, who is a demigod, can't see through Laura's strength, in other words, this supreme bishop is at least a demigod, and of course maybe even stronger.

As the undead king who crawled out of the abyss, Edwin asked himself that he had great growth potential, and he was even expected to become the strongest in the abyss in the future, but in the face of a demon who didn't know what race it was, he couldn't see through it, so he couldn't help but be vigilant, and he was even more cautious about it.

Following Laura through the church, he met all kinds of monks and nuns, and instead of being curious about Edwin's sudden appearance in the church, they looked solemn and pious, and focused on their own affairs, which could not help but give him a deeper understanding of the necessary evil church.

It is terrible to be able to unite a variety of churches, and to be firm and devout in their faith, united as one, concentrated in power, and in time of war, necessarily a well-trained and morale-high army.

And the person who did all this was none other than the long-haired Supreme Bishop next to Edwin.

Finally coming to a room and stopping, Laura pushed the door open and made a gesture of please to Edwin.

Stepping into it, at that moment, a holy breath rushed to his face, which made Edwin slightly uncomfortable, and then looked at Laura strangely, didn't say anything, and found a place to sit down.

After calling the maid, Laura ordered her to serve tea, and then went to the seat opposite Edwin and sat down, looking at each other, the windows of the soul intersecting, and when they were about to touch something, they were blocked by an unknown power.

At this time, Laura spoke, "Although it's the first time I've met, I don't know why, I feel like I've known Mr. for a long time, do you know where this intimacy comes from?" ”

When she said this, she looked like she was smiling, and it seemed that she was asking knowingly, perhaps because she knew what Edwin was going to ask, so she preemptively blocked back what he was going to say.

Edwin immediately raised his eyebrows, amused and wary of Laura's initiative to ask such a question, and already wondered if she had seen through her identity, but he didn't break it, but said quietly, "I think this intimacy is because we both crawled out of the 'underground'." ”

The explanation here is that the underground is the lowest level, that is, the lowest level of human society, but this is just a pronoun, and only the two of them know what the real meaning is.

Sure enough, Laura's face immediately became meaningful, "That's no wonder, no matter what people come out of there, they naturally have a certain 'blood' relationship." ”

The so-called blood relationship is born in hell or the abyss, they are conceived by this world, even if they are different in appearance and race, but they are always children of hell or the abyss.

This sentence made Edwin affirm that Laura must be the natural existence of hell, that is, the child of hell, and he is the son of the abyss, and it is natural that the two wills naturally have a little intimacy, but this kindness is just an illusion.

The abyss is nothingness and endless darkness, but in this darkness each place is its own place, constantly fighting and attacking each other in order to occupy more space. Hell, on the other hand, is a strong-willed jungle, with a very clear hierarchy, and if you want to step into a higher position, you must rely on your own hands.

The two wills seem to be almost the same, but there is a big difference in essence.

If the abyss is a vast and divided world, then hell is the class struggle under unity.

If you want to talk about chaos, the abyss is even more chaotic, so the abyss has always been chaotic and neutral, and hell is evil.

Of course, it is not that hell is inherently evil, but they are well versed in the law of the jungle, so they are more courageous and ruthless, and like to express their thoughts and wishes directly, for example, they think that the world is good, so they desire to come and rule.

However, God is a moat that separates the earth from hell and prevents demons from entering or interfering in the world, so God is orderly and good.

But this is not absolute, to say why, the Laura in front of you is a very clear example.

A demon from hell who has become a clergy and even the top leader of a sect, itself equivalent to an existence like the Pope, is simply...

It's a fantasy!

A demon approved by God? Holy Demon? How can a thing that is a contradiction in itself, and both are paradoxical things, become a whole?

It's a mystery!

"I don't dare to admit such a blood relationship, I'm afraid that if you're not happy, I'll be burned at the stake, after all, I'm a more heretic existence, isn't it?" Edwin teased.

This sentence is extremely ironic, how can it not be ironic to have a demon tie a vampire from the abyss to be burned at the stake, and also have a priest perform the holy water death ritual?

Laura laughed, "Mr. Braque is laughing, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't agree with each other, of course, if you follow our rules, sir, otherwise, even if you are considered a heretic, you only deserve it, and I can't blame it." ”

Edwin laughed, "You're pushing the blame away, aren't you the one who enforces the ruling?" Whether it's black or white, naturally it's up to you. ”

Laura frowned slightly, "I'm not the kind of existence that kills innocents indiscriminately, and the purpose of the Necessary Evil Church is also to carry out evil deeds, as God's agent on earth, to carry out His will and at the same time to eliminate and judge those blasphemous and evil heretics." ”

Edwin couldn't help but applaud and exclaimed very sincerely, "That's a good point, worthy of being the supreme bishop of Puritanism, God's agent on earth!" ”

The word man, he bites very hard, he is provoking and provoking the other party, he is frantically testing his bottom line and patience, of course, the best can do it, in this way, he can find out his strength more, which is not in vain for him to have contact with him.

Laura frowned at the moment, it was obvious that she didn't want to answer this question, and was even a little annoyed, Edwin kept grabbing her identity to stimulate her, as if she was afraid that she wouldn't get angry, although she thought that she was very well-educated and wouldn't get angry easily, but it was inevitable that after that tendon was wrong, she was very annoyed, so she was afraid that she couldn't control her emotions so she chose not to speak.

However, Laura really underestimated Edwin's cheekiness, she thought that Edwin would change the topic because she chose to remain silent, after all, this is a gentleman's behavior, but Edwin didn't let her go, he came to stimulate her thoughts, how could he let it go so easily? Yes, but seeing his playful face, "To be honest, I'm really curious, obviously as a demon, he can actually become a priest, and the demon becomes a god's lackey?" That's interesting, hahaha..."

The reverberating laughter stimulated Laura's nerves, even if she was well-educated, she almost ran away because of this laughter, but fortunately she was about to start the shooting, and she contained the anger in time, but when she turned her anger into laughter, she laughed like a silver bell, and a little like a fox, "Mr. Braque really likes to joke, how can I be a demon?" If I were a demon, God wouldn't have let me appear as his spokesman, would he? ”

"I can't tell—" Edwin smiled faintly, though he didn't have the sulfurous smell of the common demons in hell, but the unique smell that came from the depths of his soul was difficult to hide.

Laura's remarks are a bit self-deceptive, but if she were to admit that she was a demon, wouldn't it be a denial of her long-standing beliefs?

Although there is no so-called faith in her, as the head of a religion, how can she maintain her own image? Yes, she stroked the hair around her ears and took the initiative to change the topic, "Regarding this matter, let's stop here, if Braque mentions this matter again, then I can only issue an eviction order, I believe this is not what you want to see, right?" ”

Edwin pouted noncommittally, since she had said so, it would be a bit too much for him to use verbal stimulation, and he was also a person who knew proportion.

"I believe that Mr. Braque must have come to me for something very important, so I might as well say that as a clergyman, I am most happy to solve people's problems."

Looking at the smile on Laura's face, Edwin shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said what he meant, "Intix, you should know, right?" ”

Laura nodded, "Of course, that's the forbidden book catalogue of my Necessary Evil Church, and it's in charge of 103,000 magic books, which is very important to my Puritanism. ”

The implication of the importance of this is that she should not be beaten by her idea, and I will not agree to anything she asks.

However, how could Edwin give up so easily? Knowing that the other party would not agree, he still said, "I hope you can give up the amnestics of the banned book catalogue so that she can have her own memories, and in exchange, I will make sure that she is not invaded by other forces." ”

This condition is the most basic of conditions, and Edwin's subtext is that you give Intex memory and freedom, and he will ensure that Intex is always under the control of the Puritans, which is a win-win proposition.

However, Laura shook her head almost without thinking, "Admittedly, your proposal is good, but how can you guarantee that I can trust it?" After all, you've only met me once, and to be honest, you're not the kind of person you can trust. ”

Edwin was stunned when he heard this, and immediately laughed, "You're still the first to say that you don't trust my existence, but forget it, it's nothing to worry about, what you said is indeed good, and it is indeed a difficult thing to get someone you just met to trust." ”

Laura shrugged, "So, this offer is nullified, you might as well talk about other requirements." ”

Edwin shook his head, "I don't have any other requirements, and I'm here for one purpose. ”

Laura frowned, "So, you mean you won't give up until you achieve your goal?" ”

Edwin thought for a moment and said with a serious face, "So to speak! ”

Laura sneered, "Then what quid pro quo are you going to impress me?" ”

"To be honest, my initial idea was that if you don't agree, I'll fight until you agree, and the big deal is to make a big fuss about your Puritanism."

Laura didn't seem surprised by this, "And now?" ”

"Now, although I am still sure, I am afraid that I myself will not be much better, I will not do this kind of thing that hurts a thousand enemies and loses eight hundred."

Listening to what Edwin said with such certainty, as if he wanted to, it was simply arrogant that one person could subdue a sect, and she couldn't help but sneer, "What a big tone, since the establishment of Puritanism, no one has ever dared to say that he can challenge the entire church by himself, not even God!" ”

"God?" Edwin had a sneering look on his face and looked up, "Is there really a god in this world?" If so, is it a true god or a false god? ”

Laura's face changed slightly, but she was a little overwhelmed by the meaning of this sentence, and it was undeniable that Edwin's words did tell some of her secrets.

Looking at Laura's silent appearance, Edwin secretly said that one of his bold guesses was correct, that is, there is no true god in this world, otherwise how could the demon be relieved to boldly appear in this world and become the spokesman of God?
