King's Landing

"Karen is your... child?"

No matter how much Joan's heart was like a secluded pool, she couldn't help being shocked after hearing Yanfeng Qili's words.

As an eighth-rank Ruler, originally Joan of Arc could descend on Karen, temporarily borrowing her body to preside over the Holy Grail War. This descending and seizing the house are completely different. For priests, they can be sages and angels. Being physically present is a great honor. What is certain is that if Joan of Arc really descends on Karen, then the little nuns who have not received much attention in the church will be immediately trained by high-level emphasis, and may even be listed. The candidate for the Saintess, this is not a joke.

It’s just a pity that Karen has a special physique and cannot withstand the advent of Joan. Although she is born with the stigmata known as a miracle, her physique has imposed huge restrictions on her. It can also be said that chronic demon possession.

As the name suggests, this physique, as long as there are demons around, the body will automatically respond to the spiritual barrier, just like a medium, and the generation of the spiritual barrier will cause serious damage to Karen’s body. If the demon level is too high, she will even The whole body will break apart, as if suffering thousands of slashes. This phenomenon is similar to the “antibody reaction” in modern medicine, except that Karen’s physique is dozens of times more severe, ranging from cracks to the skin and life-threatening. , So she has always been placed in the church.

Before being selected by Joan of Arc, the church’s arrangement was to let her follow the exorcist to eliminate demons in various places after her physical endurance reached a certain level. After all, her physique could act as a'warning device'. When there are demons around, you can immediately discover that even though this is a cruel act for a girl in her early ten years, she makes the best use of everything. For the church, as long as it can save the people, it will not hesitate to sacrifice her life. , This is the great doctrine of'I don't go to hell who goes to hell'.

Therefore, Karen’s future has long been doomed. She may encounter a powerful demon and die during a certain trip; or she may choose to commit suicide because of the torture caused by her physique. With such a physique, she will eventually escape There is no tragic fate.

It was not until the appearance of Joan that Karen's fate had a turning point.

The saint of the Catholic Church is also one of the sages. Although Joan of Arc appears in the form of the heroic spirit of the Holy Grail War, the church still regards her as an existence of admiration. Even the current pope will respectfully salute Joan. Therefore, Karen Her future will be bright, at least, she will no longer have to suffer from physical torture, even being a "canary" is better than being abused.

However, due to Karen’s special physique, Joan cannot descend on her, because once she does this, with Joan’s spiritual sense, the scope of the battered spiritual barrier will be infinitely expanded. If Karen can sense when she is on her own initiative If you reach a demon within a kilometer radius, it may be 10,000 meters or more to change to Jeanne, and the result of this is that the damage will be increased geometrically. Although Jeanne can protect with spiritual power Karen's body, but there is no guarantee that any accident will happen.

The most important thing is that Joan will not risk Karen's life, which is also her kindness.

Therefore, she missed the opportunity to come and just signed an ordinary contract. It was impossible for Joan to understand Karen’s past, and it was mainly because Karen rarely mentioned her various things, especially her life experience and family. She just said that she was in a certain A church grew up and was sent to the monastery. The church where she lived was her home. The nuns and priests there were her relatives. As for her father and mother, Karen never talked about it.

And now, someone claims to be Karen's father?

The most important thing is that this person is still deliberately murdering, using power for personal gain, and becoming self-willing to degenerate... The priest Yanfeng Qili who committed all kinds of evil deeds is too coincidental. Father and daughter have participated in the Holy Grail War, and they are both representatives. The overseer of the church, if these are nothing, then why didn't Yanfeng Qili immediately recognize each other?But to wait until now?Also, if Yanfeng Qili is really Karen's father, why doesn't Karen have any reaction?Even now, there was a dazed expression on his face.

All of these have to make Joan of Arc and Bazette suspicious. If they recognize each other at the beginning, they may consider it carefully before drawing a conclusion, but now, after knowing the style of Yanfeng Qili, who will easily believe At least Bazette didn't believe in this kind of absurdity. In her opinion, the nun Karen and Yanfeng Qili were totally different.

"I know it's hard for you to believe it, but... she is indeed my daughter, and her dead mother is... Claudia Aldysia, she passed away a year after giving birth to Karen... Later, I entrusted Karen to the priest I knew..."

Seeing that Joan and Bazette didn't believe it, Yanfeng Qili told the truth about the past that he didn't want to mention.

And when Karen heard the name'Claudia Aldysia', her petite body trembled suddenly, her wide golden eyes were completely dull, she looked directly at Yanfeng Qili in disbelief, her mouth Zhong couldn't help trembling and muttering.

"Mother...pro-sama...how do you know your mother!"

Not only Karen, after listening to the words of Qili Yanfeng, Joan was finally moved. Although she did not know who Karen’s mother was, she knew Karen’s surname—Aldaisia, and Karen’s The response is enough to explain a lot of things.

"Karen looks very similar to her mother. I recognized her from the beginning, but... the situation before... is not suitable for recognizing, and... if possible, I don't want to recognize her... that Will affect my plan... but now..."

Having said this, Yanfeng Qili continued, he just stared at Karen quietly, a glimmer of hope flashed in his gray, godless eyes, but under this hope, what was hidden was a touch of imperceptible darkness.Does a man like Yanfeng Qili really just want to fulfill his last wish?In his eyes, the extent of the relationship between father and daughter is probably not even clear to him.
