Chapter 244

In fact, Rossweisse herself knew that flipping through books in the library was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After all, the name Horus was probably just something the guy who traded with Romon made up. It was not his real name at all. No one would be stupid enough to say his real name when trading with a monster.

It was easy to imagine how difficult it was to investigate a name that did not exist at all.

But she had no other way.

This was the only clue she had at the moment.

"Saint Lady..."

At this moment, a nun belonging to Rossweisse walked over quickly, with some joy on her haggard face, holding a thick book in her arms: "Is this what you are looking for?"

It was a mythological epic.

When Rossweisse saw the content on the page, her eyes lit up.

Rossweisse, who had already given up hope, was suddenly ecstatic. She snatched the book and read it carefully.

In this poem, a prince named Horus was betrayed and died in the struggle for power in the country, but his soul returned from the world of the dead after a narrow escape from death to take revenge on the existence that had betrayed him.

After the revenge was successful, Horus was honored as the God of Vengeance by the people of the kingdom.

Rossweisse's eyes gradually dimmed again.

In any case, this is just a poem, not history.

Perhaps the person who traded with Romon just borrowed the name of Horus, the God of Vengeance, to let him remember the deep hatred between himself and the members of the Brave Squad.

It was precisely because of the deep hatred between Horus and the former members of the Brave Squad that Ronald suffered such cruel torture, which Rossweisse had known for a long time.

Rossweisse also tried to analyze those who had a feud with the Brave Squad and Lord Jello, but still found nothing.

Because the Brave Squad often acted decisively and would not leave anyone alive, those who had grudges had died, and even their relatives and friends had few survivors.

A thick book was spread out on the table, and slender fingers flipped through the pages.

Amid the rustling of papers, Rossweisse was thinking in her heart. She thought she was very smart, but this matter was too difficult to handle.

Horus.

The God of Vengeance...

The Brave Squad.

Several names kept flashing in Rossweisse's mind.

Unknowingly, Rossweisse turned to the last page.

There was a note on the last page of the book, and the note recorded the names of people who had read this book...

In that list of words, four words stimulated Rossweisse's eyes.

Augustus!

Rossweisse's pupils suddenly shrank.

Has Augustus also read this book?

He knew the name Horus, and he also knew that this name represents revenge.

Augustus once sneaked into her boudoir and stole all her wealth, seven scrolls, and her diary.

Augustus left the Eye of True Vision in his boudoir to monitor his every move, so he knew the whereabouts of the Brave Squad very well.

Then the last point is about hatred.

Augustus is the Pope of the Holy See, and Lord Jello is a brave man. Seeing Lord Jello's achievements becoming more and more, becoming more and more popular among the people, becoming stronger and stronger, and his status becoming higher and higher, even the Brave Squad has become another major force outside the Holy See, the Empire, the Earth Mother Goddess Church, and the Sage Mountain, dividing Augustus' power.

Augustus, who has always been at the top of human existence, cannot tolerate this situation, and it is normal for him to be jealous of Lord Jello and the members of the Brave Squad.

The most important thing is that except for the saint herself, the relationship between the members of the Brave Squad and the Holy See can even be said to be very bad.

Karsus is the target of the Holy See.

Because Lord Jello chose Karsus as a member of the Brave Team, it was a slap in the face of Augustus, which made the Pope lose face. It was normal for Augustus to hate Lord Jello.

And I, in alliance with Cardinal Douglas, wanted to overthrow Augustus's rule and become the first female pope of the Holy See. It was impossible for Augustus to be unaware of this. So I was also Augustus' enemy.

Ekaterina and Crazy Muse had publicly ridiculed Augustus.

Ronald once publicly stated that Augustus was incompetent and not a man.

In an instant, Rossweisse felt that she had instantly connected the clues in her mind into a line, and various fragments were spliced ​​together at this time.

Then she cleverly came to a conclusion that Augustus was Horus.

Of course, in fact, Rossweisse herself knew very well that such a reason was actually a little too weak, but so what?

Is it important whether it is Augustus or not?

No, as long as Augustus is a possibility, it is enough.

After all, Augustus is someone Rossweisse really wants to get rid of. As long as the Holy See is without Augustus, Rossweisse will become the actual ruler of the Holy See.

And putting the blame on Augustus can also cover up her incompetence of not being able to find a single person.

So, no matter whether this Horus is Augustus or not, as long as Rossweisse cannot find out the true identity of Horus, Augustus must be Horus.

In the Holy See, Augustus, who was about to return to his bedroom, sneezed. Maybe it was because the night wind was too strong. He pulled his clothes.

Maybe there were too many things to deal with during this period of time, and the pressure accumulated on his body was too great.

Augustus felt that his body had become a little hunched.

The poor pope didn't know that he couldn't straighten his back not because of the recent pressure, but because he had taken too many blames.

More than Tokiomi...

...

On the other side, Qin Chu, Heloise, Ieta and Sylph returned to the palace.

Seeing Qin Chu coming back, Antasia breathed a sigh of relief, but a trace of sadness could not help showing on her face. She knew that Mavis was dead.

This was an inevitable ending.

Qin Chu's eyes also looked into the distance.

Things here are over. Athena should have reached Xuelian Mountain by now. It is almost time to deal with Athena.

Here comes the fourth chapter. There are still five chapters today.

Chapter 290 Athena's Fear (5)

Athena is a very useful and smart tool.

Compared with Ekaterina, Athena's loyalty is not as high as that of the Scarlet Valkyrie. After all, the Scarlet Valkyrie's consciousness has been distorted by the Love of the City.

However, Ekaterina basically needs Qin Chu to make clear arrangements and make proper plans.

Athena does not need so much. She is very smart and can make different judgments according to the situation at the time.

If this kind of intelligence is used well, it can save Qin Chu a lot of trouble... But this kind of intelligence is also a double-edged sword. No matter how careful Qin Chu's arrangements are from the beginning to now, there is a possibility that Athena will see through it.

This time, Athena went to Xuelian Mountain to help the Crazy Muse open the barrier and obtain the soul fragments of Jello.

Qin Chu judged that Athena would definitely try to draw out the residual soul in the soul fragment. Once Athena realized that the soul fragment was empty, his arrangement for so long would collapse.

In fact, Qin Chu's arrangement was really good, but there was only this point that Qin Chu had no way to make up for.

Once Athena realized the truth, this woman would stand on the opposite side of him.

This kind of powerful and smart woman would be a very difficult opponent. If it really came to that irreversible step, Athena could only be eliminated.

Of course, the crazy Muse had to be solved at the same time.

Qin Chu leaned back in his chair, staring at Antasia's back. Antasia put the ashes of Mavis collected by Qin Chu in a bottle, and after Qin Chu's consent, found a place in the garden to bury it, which was also a place for Mavis to rest in peace.

Antasia didn't have much affection for Mavis. Although Mavis had held her, Antasia was just a baby at that time. When Antasia could finally remember, Mavis had already married into the empire.

But, no matter what, she was also a member of the family and her father's sister.

There was another thing that puzzled Qin Chu, that was Wordsworth...

There was such a big commotion in the imperial city. It was barely justifiable that Santa Monica and Augustus didn't show up, but what about Wordsworth? That guy was the emperor, and he was still tracking down Mavis.

Qin Chu didn't believe that so many intelligence personnel under Wordsworth couldn't find the old church.

Even if they really couldn't find it, Wordsworth could guess such a big commotion, and then he should have rushed over to settle the matter completely.

But Wordsworth never showed up from beginning to end.

"When we were fighting with Mavis, I felt that there was a life approaching that location." Sylph said suddenly beside him.

As an elf, although she didn't have the talent of Carol, Sylph's perception ability was still very strong.

"Who is it?" Qin Chu asked.

Sylph shook her head: "I don't know, I didn't have time to pay too much attention at that time."

Although Sylph didn't see that person, Qin Chu felt that it was probably the old fox Wordsworth.

This old thing watched him and his wife fighting from a distance, but he didn't show up.

I'm afraid that all my cards have been seen by that old thing, right?

This is not a good thing.

...

On the other side.

Athena's figure appeared on a silver-white snow mountain.

She was still wearing a black long skirt and a wide hat on her head. The white of the snow reflected on her face, making her skin look even whiter.

The long skirt was not thick, and there was only a pair of pantyhose given to her by Qin Chu under the skirt. The outline of her legs outlined an attractive curve.

Even a loose long skirt could not cover her plump and graceful figure, but instead added a kind of lazy beauty.

The surroundings were covered with ice and snow, and the cold wind was howling. Snowflakes like goose feathers fell from the sky, but Athena did not feel cold. She opened a red magic shield around her body to block the invasion of the cold air, and even felt warm.

Although it would consume a lot of magic power to support the magic shield, it was not a pressure for a magician of Athena's level.

The tall figure was a night-like black on the silver-white.

The progress was a little slower than expected.

It was not that Athena was not strong enough and the flying speed was slow.

On the contrary, Athena had enough magic power to support her, and she arrived here even one day earlier than planned... The problem was that the Snow Mountain was too big.

All the hills and peaks were almost the same.

Muse, that idiot, did not give detailed and specific coordinates, so Athena had to search here by herself, wasting a lot of time. To be honest, she couldn't even contact Muse since the day before yesterday.

Could that guy be dead?

Athena thought maliciously.

But Athena also knew that this was impossible. Muse was a martial god-level berserker. Even in the ice and snow, if he was frozen to death so easily, it would be a joke.

For beings of their level, even if they did nothing, they would not freeze to death in the Snow Mountain for a year or two.

So, Athena could only speculate whether Muse had encountered something, and hoped that the situation would not be too bad.

She stretched her arms hard, and her fingers stretched out of the magic shield. As soon as she stretched out, Athena immediately retracted her hands, and a layer of white frost had covered several fingers.

The temperature outside is really too high.

Looking around... Athena frowned.

A white and tender little hand fell on her plump chest.

She could feel her heart beating violently.

Athena didn't know what was going on. It was fine at first, but as she got closer to Xuelian Mountain, the pressure in her chest gradually increased. In the deepest part of her consciousness, there seemed to be a voice shouting, telling her not to get close to this place.

Go back.

Stay away from here!

Athena couldn't understand.

It seemed that there was an extremely terrifying existence hidden in this Xuelian Mountain.
