HBWnovel Chapter 470 The Rotten Truth
Chapter 470 The Rotten Truth
a few days later.
A transport plane landed at the Sin City Airport.
As soon as Moya Galan Franca got off the plane, she was taken directly to the Duke's Palace.
Today, Balian was in charge of the Duke's Mansion himself, and several witches also came to the Duke's Mansion.
Because they heard a familiar name.
Moya...
In the Duke's Palace.
Lyon sat in his seat, looking at the tense situation below the stage, and felt numb all over.
Because as soon as Moya came in, she came into contact with Antia.
The auras of the two collided directly in the Duke's Mansion, but no one intervened.
This was a tough time for Leon. The powerful collision of energy almost blew Leon away.
Balian saw this scene and did not choose to take action.
Because he wants to train Lyon's ability to withstand pressure.
Leon: I'm already honest, please let me go.
"Moya, what are you doing here? If it weren't for you, maybe he wouldn't have gone through so much!"
Antia pointed her sword directly at Moya.
Moya did not refute anything, but looked at Leon.
"You are Leon? Confession is with you?"
When Leon heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
Confession? What is confession?
Balian suddenly spoke up.
"That's the armor I gave you."
Leon instantly showed an expression of sudden realization, and then hurriedly carried the confession down from upstairs.
Then Moya looked at the confession that had been modified in front of her and was stunned for a moment.
Is this still a confession? You told me about a Western-style armor and you turned it into Iron Man?
Moya was stunned for a moment.
Leon scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
"Nothing much, just a slight modification!"
After hearing this, Balian's mouth twitched instantly.
Your home was slightly modified, and the materials used were twice as much as the original ones?
Just to modify the Confession, Lyon spent enough materials to make two sets of Confession.
If it hadn't been changed in the end, Balian would have cursed.
Calling Leon a loser.
Fortunately, Lyon did not disappoint Balian's expectations.
Now it was everyone's turn to be dumbfounded.
The witches were all dumbfounded.
As people who had lived through the Küneberg era, they certainly knew how crude the confessions were back then.
If it weren't for the existence of that crystal, repentance might not even be possible.
But the modified version before them directly overturned their cognition.
After a brief shock, Moya took out the crystal.
Now even Antia instantly locked her eyes on the crystal.
"Where did you get it?"
Antia couldn't help but ask.
"In the secret chamber of the Papal States."
Moya said calmly.
"Why are you in the Papal States?"
Antia was a little bit unbelievable.
"You'll have to ask the Vatican and Draene. God knows what kind of deal they made back then!"
Moya said with disdain, then looked at Franca.
Leon also straightened up because he knew the big one was coming.
"Leon, I will show you a brand new Papal State. It is completely different from what you remember..."
Franka took a deep breath and said very seriously.
Barian immediately used his domain to instantly seal off the Duke's Mansion.
Franka spoke up.
“The Papal States was established 1500 years ago with the original intention of promoting the Goddess of Light. They were once extremely weak and had been dependent on the Demon Empire and the Elf Empire for several times.
It was not until 1200 years ago that the Papal State finally rose and began to frantically annex the small countries on the Western Continent.
Relying on a large number of believers and powerful Crusaders, the Papal States unified the entire Western Continent in just 100 years.
During the conquest, a large number of slaves were rescued.
At that time, the Papal States became a beacon in the world and a place that all human beings longed for.
But this was just the beginning of the nightmare. 1000 years ago, the Papal States began to fall into darkness...
The statue of the goddess of light no longer has any luster...
The Papal States possesses a powerful combat unit, the Knights of Light.
But for every new Knight of Light, hundreds of people died...
Everyone in this world possesses a trace of magic power, which comes from the human body itself.
Except, of course, Lyon, who has no magic in himself.”
Everyone couldn't help but look at Leon.
Leon: Why are you looking at me? I just don't have any magic power. I rely on my brain! I'm a leader, not a soldier!
Franka continued to speak.
“In order to train the Knights of Light, the Papal States needs to extract the original magic power from hundreds of people.
But the process of extracting magic power is very rough and cruel. Every time a strand of magic power is successfully extracted, one person dies...
In the end, these hundreds of strands of original magic power condensed into original magic power as thick as a finger.
And this is the source of the Light Knight's power.
The Papal States used this method to train tens of thousands of Knights of Light, and the lifespan of the Knights of Light reached 300 years.
According to historical records, the Papal States has trained more than 200,000 Knights of Light over the past thousand years...
However, the real number is always higher than this..."
Franca fell silent when she said this, and everyone present fell silent.
After hearing this, some maids just froze where they were. They couldn't imagine it.
The Papal States that they had heard about since childhood actually had such an unknown side...
“In just 200 years, the Papal States has trained more than Knights of Light.
The Pope's ambition expanded rapidly, and he began to want to unify the entire world.
But he faced the rising Holy Empire.
The Holy Empire launched four westward expeditions. Everyone knows the results of the first three expeditions, which was the complete conquest of the Demon Empire. Only the remnants of the Demon Empire fled to the extremely cold land in the north.
At the end of the Third Western Expedition, Kuneberg suddenly disappeared. For a full six months, Kuneberg did not appear in the public eye.
Fortunately, Kuneberg returned to the Holy Empire half a year later and was successfully promoted to a Holy Knight. He then launched the Fourth Western Expedition.
But this time, the Holy Empire was defeated in the westward expedition...
No one knows what the Western Expedition Army experienced, but it is recorded in the highest-level files of the Papal States.
The 150 million Holy Empire troops were besieged by tens of millions of undead, and these undead were the innocent people killed by the Papal State...
Not only were their magic powers drained away, they were also refined into undead spirits, serving the Papal States for eternity..."
Having said this, Franca no longer dared to continue, tears welled up in her eyes.
Because the deaths of Franca's family, her parents, and her sister are closely related to the Papal States...
Leon was also silent.
He thought the Dwarf Empire was already beastly enough, but he didn't expect the Papal States to be even more beastly than the Dwarf Empire...
This world turned out to be just like my own world. The more prosperous things were, the more rotten they were underneath the prosperous surface...
