Chapter 273 271. The power of missing
"What happened?" Li Dian and the others hurried back.
After seeing the giant tree of flesh and blood that suddenly appeared, they looked wary.
Su Hong pulled out his black sword and pointed at the giant tree, "Who are you?"
"The world has forgotten my name, that's all, that's all, my name is Helmut Mansfield, the last generation of bishops in charge of the Holy See."
"Are you the bishop of the Holy See of Light?" Li Dianxian showed a suspicious look.
"I'm not saying that. The bishop of the Holy See of Light is said to be a very kind-looking old man. You monster dare to pretend to be a human being."
When Bishop Helmut heard this, his voice was as deafening as the sound of a bell, "Fart, when have I ever been kind? If the bishop had not wanted to maintain his image and identity, I would have hanged those heretics myself."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent.
Bishop Helmut coughed and said, "Ahem, that's not important. What's important is that I finally waited for you."
"Are you waiting for us?" Su Hong asked.
"Yes and no, I'm waiting for the immortal who can pass the road of salvation and enter here."
Li Jian thoughtfully asked, "Are you the ultimate salvation?"
"But this look...how can we make us believe you."
Bishop Helmut sneered, "I am a holy soul imprisoned in an ugly body. It is normal for you to not see through it."
"Judging a book by its cover... Heh, I have to say that Alonso is quite good at fooling people. He is obviously a monster that destroyed the kingdom, but he pretends to be extremely holy."
"If the holy light represents holiness, then wouldn't the believers you met along the way be the most sacred people in the world?"
"That's true." Li Jian nodded.
Su Hong raised his head and asked: "In that case, Mr. Helmut, can you tell me what you are waiting for here?"
"Waiting for us to get you out?"
Bishop Helmut sighed, "I and Patriarch Alonzo of the Order of Original Sin are one, and we are indistinguishable from each other. Without the song of the soul, my soul can never return to the embrace of the flame."
"But thanks to this, I was able to gain part of Alonso's redemptive power and use it to create this false world."
Anna asked strangely: "Mr. Helmut, you are the controller of this world. Why don't you meet us directly and arrange for soul-eating dogs to hunt down the people who enter here."
Bishop Helmut said calmly: "If you want to obtain salvation, you must first atone for your sins. This is determined by the power of salvation. I just borrowed Alonso's power, not mastered it."
"I incarnate myself as the final redemption on a road of redemption. As long as someone can complete the journey of redemption, they will naturally appear in front of me. This is something Alonso cannot stop."
"Where there is atonement, there is redemption. I am just borrowing his rules."
Li Dian suddenly realized, "No wonder the Uncrowned Knight prohibits believers from entering here. It turns out that he is afraid that some people will complete their atonement and escape from the control of the order."
Bishop Helmut laughed: "Hahaha, that's right. It seems that people in this world are not that stupid."
Su Hong asked, "Mr. Helmut, please explain your true intention."
The giant flesh-and-blood tree's face suddenly pulled out and stared down at Su Hong, "Boy, you are the blazing heart knight in this world."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's a pity, it's not enough, it's far from enough."
"And you're in the wrong place."
Su Hong frowned, "What do you mean?"
Bishop Helmut said: "If I give you another ten years, maybe you can really reach the field that the Paladin set foot on back then. It's a pity, it's such a pity..."
"Boy, you've come to the wrong place. My consciousness has not sunk, it's just trapped in an ugly body. Fire Emblem is useless to me."
"Perhaps you should rather go to the Golden Palace, where the remaining flames of the Sun King's descendants have not dissipated."
"With Fire Emblem, she can grant you unimaginable power from the sun."
"Descendants of the Sun King..." Su Hong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Mr. Helmut, it's not that I don't want to go to the Golden Palace, it's just that I was sent here before I left the battlefield."
Bishop Helmut was speechless at once, "This world can take in those who were attacked by Alonso. It was supposed to be a place of atonement that gave you a second life, but I didn't expect Alonso to be so cunning and forcibly terminate your life." The path of destiny.”
"Well, since you have lost it, it doesn't count as destiny. It only means that you should not be able to possess the power of the sun."
Su Hong was a little moved by the so-called power of the sun, and he continued to ask: "Can't I go out and go to the Golden Palace?"
Bishop Helmut laughed: "How can Alonso let you succeed? The exit of this world is the place where the army of this world and Alonso will have a decisive battle."
"Only by surviving can you have the possibility of contacting that power."
Su Hong heard that if there was another simulation, he felt that he might not be able to contact the descendants of the Sun King in advance.
Bishop Helmut continued: "Listen, I have a way to temporarily disrupt Alonso's power. You only have a moment of opportunity."
"This is what final redemption means."
Bishop Helmut said as the tree roots swelled and turned into vague flesh-and-blood people walking out of the village.
"Boy, come with me. As for the others, stay where they are. I have a method to teach you how to deal with Alonso."
Su Hong did not start immediately, but turned to look at Liu Zhifeng and the others, "Be careful."
Anna nodded, "If there is danger, I will be the first to run, and I will never let you retreat."
Li Jian nodded, "Don't worry, senior."
After Su Hong gave the order, he followed the flesh and blood man out of the village.
...
The two of them walked in the dry wheat field, and Bishop Helmut suddenly stopped.
He changed his previous arrogance and sighed, "This village is the transformation of my soul, and it is also the place where I first grew up."
"It's a pity that time is gone, and I am the only one left to live in the filth."
Su Hong asked: "I heard from the Paladins and the Knights of the Temple that the Sun King and the Church did not agree with the Eastern Expedition War, and they also imprisoned the Paladins in the Dark Prison for this."
Bishop Helmut almost laughed dumbly, "I knew those vulgar guys with only muscles in their brains would say that."
Su Hong coughed and said, "My Lord Bishop, your quality doesn't seem to be much better."
"What do you know."
Bishop Helmut sighed and said, "Do you know why the Paladins want to go on the Eastern Expedition?"
Su Hong thought, "For Light up the Sun Tree. "
The old man shook his head, "That's true, but there is a Sun Tree in the Sun Kingdom. Why go far away and enter the dangerous Heavenly Kingdom Plain to march eastward?"
"In fact, the descendants of the Sun King concealed a rather terrible secret."
"It is well known that the blood of the descendants of the Sun King can ignite the Sun Tree."
"But after the Sun Tree in the Sun Kingdom is extinguished, it can no longer be ignited by the descendants of the Sun King."
"The royal family announced to the outside world that the Sun Tree has completely turned into ashes, but I know that this is not the case."
"Once this secret is exposed, it will not only cause shock to the kingdom, but even cause chaos in the plains."
"What secret?" Su Hong's mind moved.
Bishop Helmut stopped, looked into Su Hong's eyes and said slowly: "In fact, the problem is not the Sun Tree, but the blood of the descendants of the Sun King."
"What?" Su Hong was shocked.
