Chapter 588: The Three Poles of the D45 World
scarlet hymn
Mission Description: The Crimson Saintess Seraphina, who walks the earth in the name of benevolence, roams the wilderness outside the Holy City of Latina, healing humans lost to beastification. This action has displeased His Eminence Crimson Pope Lawrence. The Holy Anthem Choir has begun a pursuit, and Etoris has requested your aid in the name of a Holy Knight.
Mission Requirements: Ensure the survival of the Crimson Saintess Seraphina within seven days.
Mission Rewards: Blood Potion (High Purity) * 1; Crimson Blood * 1
Although forcibly entering this world using Hearthstone would not generate a main quest, the triggered special events could still be recognized by the space.
The Professor looked at the special quest that popped up in front of him and subconsciously moved to accept it, but quickly reacted and looked at Tao Pai Pai.
Tao Pai Pai was an abnormal person who could not be judged by common sense, so he dared not make a decision rashly. However, the spatial prompt soon made him sigh in relief.
Temporary Team 98715 has accepted the special quest: scarlet hymn.
Crimson Saintess Seraphina's Survival: 1 / 7
"This quest probably hints that Crimson Pope Lawrence will begin some special plan after seven days, which is why he is initiating a high-intensity pursuit during these days."
The Professor was very clear about the information hinted at by the various quests in the space. He himself was good at uncovering hidden quests and factions.
Seeing Tao Pai Pai accept the quest, he spoke up proactively.
Bai Cangshu did not respond, but merely looked at the Holy Knight, the first to accept the power he bestowed, and smiled with pleasure, saying,
"Remember, Etoris, as long as your heart can still burn, she will not die."
Etoris stood up. Due to beastification, his body was now nearly two and a half meters tall, his back slightly hunched, with a layer of white bone spurs like armor on his back, and a white coccyx over a meter long hanging behind him.
He listened to this mysterious and powerful man speak casually, as if he had given him some incredible promise, and for a moment, he didn't know how to react. Instead, the Professor stepped forward proactively, coughed, and explained.
"Lord Tao Pai Pai takes promises very seriously. Since he has agreed to you, we naturally will not let Seraphina die."
At least, not within these seven days… the Professor added in his mind. He looked at the beast Duncan, whose limbs had been severed by Black Saber, and was unsure how Tao Pai Pai would ultimately treat the Saintess.
After only a brief period of teaming up, he had already realized that Tao Pai Pai did not possess the typical good and evil views of most Reincarnators. He neither showed great compassion to save the routed soldiers nor was he evil enough to kill for pleasure.
If analyzed with traditional views of good and evil, he felt that Tao Pai Pai probably belonged to a "wicked" faction, not exactly a villain, but certainly far from righteous. Tao Pai Pai was a wicked individual who acted solely for his own specific purposes.
Etoris felt a slight relief upon hearing this. As a former Holy Knight and a sensitive mixed-blood, he had a keen sense for the aura of good and evil in others. Among these three, the black-haired woman was the most upright and kind.
As for the terrifying Lady Knight in black armor with a black sword, though she exuded a violent aura, she was not evil, merely purely brutal.
Only this black-haired man, with his flowing hair, emitted an unsettling evil aura, a special temperament that combined bloodthirsty killing intent with an indifferent arrogance that regarded no life form as important.
Etoris nodded, then rummaged through his backpack for a map, muttering,
"Lady Seraphina should currently be in Gray Valley Town, about three hundred kilometers from Latina Holy City, purifying the townsfolk affected by the Bloodline Curse. We now…"
"If the Saintess Seraphina you speak of is the beautiful young girl in a white robe with red hair, she is currently on the plains about seven hundred kilometers in that direction."
"At this moment, she is being intercepted by hundreds of Holy Anthem Choir members in the barren lands. The townsfolk you needed to purify have already been killed."
The Professor held a gem, but his gaze was directed at Tao Pai Pai as he spoke.
Etoris's expression changed drastically. The Holy Anthem Choir was the most elite combat force within the Healing Church; each member had undergone deep-level "blood therapy" and gained powerful combat abilities surpassing ordinary mixed-bloods.
The Holy Anthem Choir was a formidable force capable of team-hunting "Sub-species" mixed-bloods, and had always been the Healing Church's signature power for proclaiming the protection of humanity and the slaughter of Dragonkind.
He hadn't expected them to be directly dispatched to capture Lady Seraphina at this time.
This action almost meant that the Pope had completely shed his pretense, no longer feigning, and his terrifying plan had reached its final stage!
Bai Cangshu's lips curled into a smile. Etoris's burning passion and urgent emotions gave him a warm sense of pleasure. He also extracted more interesting information from Etoris's mind.
Crimson Pope Lawrence, the knowledge of the starry sky, the bloodline of the ancient gods, the The Ladder of flesh evolution… and, Holy souls!
He rarely showed such a "benevolent" smile, patting the Professor's shoulder as if in praise.
"Very good. To reward you for reminding me to enter this world at the appropriate time, I can now let you be a hero."
The Professor looked at Tao Pai Pai, who was smiling like this for the first time, and a chill swept down his spine. His hairs stood on end again, and an intense discomfort made his expression almost completely frozen, unable to respond.
Fortunately, Tao Pai Pai didn't seem to care, merely floating up naturally from the ground. Artoria had already naturally come to Tao Pai Pai's side, lifted off the ground by the back of her neck armor.
This tyrannical black king, moving with the equally tyrannical and sinister Tao Pai Pai, possessed a strange sense of coordination.
The Professor coughed, not daring to let his mind wander further. A flash of light in his hand, and a silver surfboard appeared under his feet.
Seeing Bai Cangshu's gaze turn towards him, he immediately explained,
"This isn't the Silver Surfer's board; it's just a technological creation…"
After Bai Cangshu averted his gaze, the Professor had Etoris also step onto the skateboard. Immediately, a strong vortex appeared from behind the skateboard, and the two soared into the sky.
Artoria, held by her neck armor, also raised her head, her amber-like pale gold eyes fixed on Bai Cangshu.
Bai Cangshu looked at her, and even though she was drenched in black mud, some of her inherent qualities seemed to remain. With a thought, he tossed her up, and a blue and white personal boat appeared.
Whoosh!
Lightning flashed, and ace's personal boat modified roared, cutting through the air, carrying the two swiftly away from the sky.
Only the beast Duncan, whose limbs had been severed, was left struggling and roaring on the barren land, but neither Bai Cangshu nor Artoria, nor the Professor and Etoris, paid any attention to this overly weak beast.
Whoosh~
On the plains, Wildfire once again appeared without cause, as if reflecting the increasingly obvious distortion in the sky. Bronze turbulence could already be vaguely seen in the sky.
Flames swept across the barren land, completely engulfing the corpses, finally converging around the beast Duncan, whose painful screams echoed far into the distance.
Flames entwined his body, skin curling back, and the smell of burnt flesh seemed to bring back a flicker of human rationality to Duncan.
It hurts so much, Your Eminence Laurence, I was so devout, why did I end up like this…
Why did that Lady Knight kill me…
Why did those nobles insist on forcing me to the battlefield to die…
Duncan had no grand ambitions, nor much worldly knowledge. He simply didn't understand why, when all he wanted was to live peacefully in his village, everyone had to tear his world apart!
Resentment, distortion, unwillingness.
A faint black mud aura fell into the flames. The flames quickly turned pitch black, and the limbless beast suddenly let out a human roar.
"You… all must die!"
—
"Are you smiling?"
Artoria stood behind the personal boat. It seemed that her [Riding] specialty also had an effect on this type of vehicle, as she felt no discomfort, merely asking calmly.
Bai Cangshu nodded, an undisguised smile in his eyes.
"Yes, I just threw out some bait, and a big fish bit the hook. Things are going so smoothly, I can't help but smile."
Crimson Pope Lawrence, the King of Bronze and Fire, and the power hidden behind him that was guiding the world's distortion…
"Interesting."
