Arknights, my information is updated every day

Evangelista XI smiled, feeling that Mostima was just being polite, but also feeling that she really meant it.

The two of them wandered around the market while eating ice cream.

Finally, they passed through half of the city of Lateran and stopped in front of the towering Stone Tower of Revelation.

Mastema felt a chill in her heart.

After strolling around for so long, His Holiness the Pope finally decided to get down to business.

Is there any secret mission for her?

Or is there something that Lateran is not convenient to do?

In order to protect himself, His Holiness the Pope must have been under tremendous pressure and made some compromises.

A fallen angel who has been permanently banished is the perfect person to deal with dirty work.

Evangelista XI looked up at the ancient clock tower in front of him.

It is said that it was built by the first generation of saints themselves.

"Mastema, let me tell you one more story before we leave."

The old Pope turned around, his gray beard stained with remnants of colorful ice cream, looking a little funny.

But the smile on his face was brighter than the sun in the sky, illuminating all living beings.

“A story where everyone can enjoy ice cream together under the sun!”

Mastema looked stunned and nodded stiffly.

Long after, when she left the holy city, the Pope's nonsense still echoed in her ears.

Or rather, a story that sounds ridiculous...

Sarkota and Sarkaz sitting together on the steps in front of the cathedral eating ice cream?

Even all races put aside their prejudices against each other, and even the core circle countries put aside their differences.

Mastema admitted that this was an extremely beautiful vision, but because of this, no matter how hard she thought about it, she didn't think it could actually come true.

"Will you let me take this story and travel around this land?"

The fallen angel girl carried two staffs on her back, her eyes fixed on the distant horizon, and she walked towards Leitania.

Chapter 82: Eating hot pot and singing... (3K)

at the same time.

The Pope's Chamber, Chamber VII.

The cardinal, dressed in a white robe, knelt in prayer before the icon.

Behind him, the director of the court, wrapped in black, knelt on one knee, waiting for orders.

"The living is matter shaped by order, and the devil is the closest thing to dead matter among the living."

"Chaos is their breeding ground, and their coming darkens the heavens."

"Light burns them like fire, and order pricks them like needles."

"Latlan is favored by the law, and Sakota is a people of order."

"So of all the races, the devils hate the Sakota of Lateran the most."

Bishop Isaac's deep, hoarse voice echoed in the room, reciting this classical scripture that is now unknown to many people. However, the Seventh Department, which is responsible for intelligence, diplomacy, and national security, has never forgotten who is Lateran's greatest enemy.

"If a citizen of order betrays order, the sin he commits is unforgivable."

"The law punished him by giving him the devil's horns and tail."

"This symbolizes that he has become an enemy of order, and he will bear the brand until he returns to dust."

The director of the court lowered his head deeply, his face hidden under the hood was dark, just like his identity.

Lateran has never publicly acknowledged the existence of the Inquisition, but everyone knows that this group of optimistic Sakotans has a very powerful intelligence agency.

"Now, the heretics have left the Holy City."

Bishop Isaac stood up and looked at the blurred faces of the statues of the first saints.

"Go, grant her the redemption she deserves outside Lateran, so that she can return to the embrace of the law!"

Glancing sideways, he saw that the silent Director of the Court hadn't moved.

"Don't worry about His Holiness the Pope."

Bishop Isaac stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes as determined as ever.

"As he said, we are all doing what we think is right and does not violate the law."

The director of the court lowered his head again, his figure melting into the darkness like ink, and he left the place silently, his whereabouts unknown.

Under the cathedral, the Lateran mainframe operates day and night.

Adjusting the boundaries of the law for the duration of the Lateran, it now calculates a future still fraught with uncertainty.

In the distant desert, a heavy-duty transport truck that had been running all day was parked next to a huge rock.

Inside the cabin, Chen Xiu, the Emperor, and Texas were sitting around the table, eating hot pot.

Although there is a simple kitchen in the car, it is still not very convenient to cook.

Therefore, it is better to choose hot pot which is simple and delicious.

Just get a pot of water and plug it in.

Just prepare some sauces and various things to eat with it.

You can enjoy a very good dinner, and it is also easier and less troublesome to clean up afterwards.

At this time, the chopsticks of three people were fighting in the pot, vying for the freshly cooked meat rolls.

Because the emperor had short arms and inflexible flippers, he was bullied and had to eat meat scraps.

The fat penguin was so angry that he clucked and jumped onto the stool to emphasize that he was the boss!

"How about we make you a separate pot and you can eat it yourself?"

Chen Xiu immediately asked for permission, wanting to give his boss some special treatment.

The emperor opened his mouth. He definitely preferred everyone to eat together.

Although he can survive without eating, he still wants to grab a bowl full of big slices of meat!

Just when the emperor was in a dilemma, a piece of crisis information suddenly appeared in front of Chen Xiu.

[Crisis intelligence has been updated!]

[A bandit scout has discovered your presence. Dozens of bandits will arrive in fifteen minutes. Their leader, Ma Zhanpo, is a Class C wanted criminal with a bounty of 300,000. Please proceed with caution.]

Chen Xiu was a little surprised.

I didn’t expect to encounter horse bandits so soon!

Moreover, it happened to be when he and others were eating hot pot and singing.

Thinking about it this way, these bastards seem even more hateful. It seems that these horse bandits really have to be eliminated!

"Boss, a group of horse bandits will attack in fifteen minutes. What do you think we should do?"

The wolf's ears stood up instantly, Texas looked up at Chen Xiu, and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Huh? Horse bandits?" The emperor suddenly became excited and shouted, "What should we do? Of course, we should kill them!"

Chen Xiu reminded: "But it's not a good idea for us to just stay where we are. It's a bit too dangerous."

"Then let them go!" The emperor waved his hand. "I want to see which one is faster, the car or these guys! Since they dared to come and rob us at Penguin Logistics, we're going to teach them a lesson!"

"Then Texas will drive," Chen Xiu suggested. "Boss, you and I will go up to the skylight and snipe the bandits. They may have long-range weapons like bows and crossbows, so you still have to be careful."

"That's it!" the emperor shouted excitedly.

Suddenly, he remembered the incident of snatching the meat just now, and a plan immediately came to his mind.

"Xiao Chen, since you also use firearms, how about we have a competition?"

"The stakes don't have to be too high. Just take these slices of rockhorn meat that we haven't finished eating tonight. Whoever wins gets them all!"

Chen Xiu looked at the emperor's serious expression and naturally knew what this guy was thinking.

Well, why not just let him take over? After all, he is the boss and we also need to improve.

"Okay, since the boss wants to play, then I'll play along no matter what!"

"Haha, it's settled!"

The emperor immediately jumped up and patted Chen Xiu on the shoulder, fearing that he would go back on his word.

The fat penguin jumped and twisted his body, looking happy as if he had already won, and was looking forward to the bandits coming to his door.

Chen Xiu and Texas quickly cleaned the table to avoid the hot pot from being overturned while driving.

The road conditions on the wilderness plains are not very good, not to mention the bumpy roads, it's good to have a road at all.

On the distant slope, a Kuranta man was lying on the ground, looking carefully at the heavy transport vehicle parked next to a huge rock in front of him, to confirm that there were no bodyguards or security personnel escorting it.

Soon, with a cloud of dust rising in the distance behind them, dozens of Kuranta strong men ran over after receiving the message. The leader, Ma Zhanpo, confirmed the situation with the scouts and was immediately overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, I met a fool who didn't hire a bodyguard to save money. He deserves to be rich!

Moreover, it looks like a big fat guy. The car alone is worth a lot of money!

However, if you want to sell this thing, you can only find that tin can.

But that guy is very stingy and will definitely lower the price sharply when the time comes.

While he was thinking, someone on his left or right suddenly shouted, "Boss! It seems the other side has discovered us, they're trying to run away!"

Ma Zhanpo looked up instantly and saw the heavy-duty transport truck slowly starting up, and he suddenly became anxious.

"Quick! Chase them! We can't let them get away!"

On the heavy transport vehicle, Chen Xiu and the Emperor stuck half of their bodies out of the skylight.

After seeing the large group of Kuranta runners behind the car, Chen Xiu almost couldn't hold back. It turned out that the horse bandits were real horses!

The emperor held his gun in his hand and said coolly, "Let's take turns firing so that we can't tell who hit the target. Each bandit counts as one point, and the leader counts as ten points."

"No problem, then I'll go first?" Chen Xiu asked.

The emperor nodded in agreement, so as to prevent the boy from being frightened by his unparalleled gun skills.

Chen Xiu picked up the assault rifle and casually pulled the trigger, aiming at the fluttering turban on the horse bandit's head and shot him down with one shot.

"Ouch, almost! It's all because of this bumpy car that caused my gun barrel to shake. Boss, it's your turn now."

"Hahaha! You still don't have enough shooting experience." The emperor laughed and said, "Let me teach you!"

The fat penguin bent over, took aim, and decisively pulled the trigger, hitting a bandit in the shoulder.

"Amazing!" Chen Xiu gave a thumbs-up and praised, "Boss, your shooting skills are truly amazing!"

"Hahaha!" The emperor patted Chen Xiu's arm and laughed, "Boy, you're still far from it!"

Seeing that the people in the car had the ability to attack from a distance, the horse bandits immediately dispersed and changed their arc while running.

Sporadic bursts of gunfire continued, and Ma Zhanpo became suspicious. Could it be that the bastard in the car was making fun of them?

Taking the longbow from his back, Ma Zhanpo skillfully drew the bow and arrow while running, and a red light flashed on the arrow.

His Originium skills have explosive properties, enough to teach those on the opposite side a profound lesson.

However, the moment the arrow was shot out, it was detonated in mid-air by an etched bullet.

The explosion was like a firework, which made everyone stunned.

Ma Zhanpo's face was filled with astonishment. The other party had actually blocked his explosive arrow with a gun!?

The emperor scratched his head and glanced suspiciously at Chen Xiu beside him. The muzzle of his gun suddenly deviated when he was shooting just now.

The amplitude doesn't seem like the shaking of a car. Could it be that this brat has been acting like himself the whole time?
