"...Is this the only choice you have?"

"This is essential if you want to completely dispel the Inquisitor's suspicions about you."

The smile on Florita's lips dimmed slightly.

"She was a pitiful child. Her parents were sacrificed before her eyes by devil worshippers, and she was the only one who was rescued with great difficulty. Since then, she has been following God's will.

Can you imagine how much hatred and resentment that child has for the devil?"

In fact, he had accidentally learned about this before. The settings here are exactly the same as in the game.

In the game, the Inquisitor takes pleasure in torturing and interrogating demon worshippers, partly out of personal preference, but also partly due to the psychological trauma caused by painful memories from her childhood. She wants to avenge her parents.

Severe psychological trauma has made the Inquisitor a slightly paranoid person, but he will absolutely obey the will of God.

As an NPC in the game, if the player's faith or holy power attributes are below a certain level, the Inquisitor will treat the player quite harshly.

It is also because of this that, regardless of whether she has a miserable past or not, there are quite a lot of players who hate her.

"Not long ago, you all had a connection with the devil."

Lin Yinxi didn't think of denying it, so he nodded obediently. The Knights General seemed embarrassed to admit to being connected to the devil in front of the Pope, and they nodded more cautiously with red faces.

"Although the aura is faint, the scent of the devil still lingers on you. If it were an ordinary believer, it would be fine, but as long as you are a battle sister and heretic inquisitor of our church, you will definitely be able to detect it."

"It should have been purified and disappeared by now. Because it met His Holiness the Pope."

"You actually knew that? That's surprising."

Florita looked at Lin Yinxi and smiled compassionately.

This is something that cannot be ignored. After all, if you want to defeat a demon-type boss, you must interact with the Pope through the plot, even if the pre-quests are very annoying, you must do so...

In fact, he had not originally intended to say this. He planned to remain silent until the Pope told everyone that he had purified the demonic aura from his body.

But when he saw the Knight Commander's expression, which suddenly became very gloomy after hearing that the devil's aura was still lingering around him, he had to take the initiative.

Although it has no effect on oneself, it is definitely not a good thing to have the aura of the devil on your body, so the leaders of the knights must be very taboo about it.

"If your first encounter with the Inquisitor took place within the Holy Kingdom, the consequences would be dire.

At that time, they won't first test you for heresy, but will directly consider you a devil worshiper invading the Holy Kingdom and will rush over to purify you."

This is true.

Stella could tell whether he was a heretic or not because they met outside the Holy Kingdom. If they had met inside the Holy Kingdom, she probably wouldn't have been able to tell.

Either the Holy Kingdom is annihilated, or the Knights are annihilated. They will fight until only one of these two remains.

“Therefore, it is necessary to clear up any misunderstandings before entering the Holy Kingdom, and I have therefore instructed her to meet with you in person.

I can also eliminate the demonic aura from you in person to prove that you are not heretics, but if you want to see me, you must first see the child, so I can only resort to this last resort."

'…….Um?'

Wait, that's a little weird.

"Your Holiness, may I ask you a question?"

"You can do whatever you want. What are you curious about?"

"Why does it presuppose that we come to the Holy Kingdom?"

Florita's words were so obvious that he almost overlooked them. The Sun Pope's words were all based on the premise that everyone would come to the Holy Kingdom.

Although it will eventually come, it will not happen until at least the second half of the game's plot.

The only thing he wanted to obtain in the Holy Kingdom was the barrier-type sacred spell that could be obtained through the relevant tasks of the Sun and Moon Popes.

The rest is meaningless stuff.

After all, I'm not following the combat system of the priest series.

"Did you notice?"

The smile on Florita's face became even more radiant.

The Pope began to walk towards the crowd, and the clacking sound of his high heels filled the entire room.

Along with the crisp footsteps, Lin Yinxi's heart also rippled slightly.

Florita walked up to him, smiled gently, and held his hand tightly.

"That's because I want to see you."

092. Give the Sun Pope a Slap

"......You want to see me?"

Lin Yinxi really didn't know how things suddenly turned out like this.

He looked at the Sun Pope in front of him, his face was radiant, and his golden hair curled like a waterfall.

The emerald green between her eyelids stared at him, and her gaze was as gentle as a spring breeze blowing across the earth.

What on earth have I done to deserve to be the Emperor? Even the Sun Pope wants to see me and cares about me so much...

Florita ignored his question and pulled one of his hands to her chest, continuing to caress his hand with a smile while her other hand touched his cheek.

At this moment, his hand was only inches away from the white cloth wrapped around Florita's body, as if he could just stretch out his hand to peel it off and explore the secret inside.

At such a close distance, the two would sometimes put their hands together and touch each other, and sometimes cross their fingers and hold them tightly. Florita gently stroked every inch of Lin Yinxi's cheek and every finger in front of her.

It feels like touching a treasure, a hope.

Perhaps because she is the Pope of the Sun, the feeling of her palm caressing her makes people feel very warm.

After fiddling with Lin Yinxi's hands and cheeks for a long time, Florita spoke again.

"Because God gave me a revelation. It was a revelation that light was coming."

'Well?'

As soon as Lin Yinxi heard Florita's words, his attention was diverted from the warm feeling on his cheek for a moment, and some memories of the game before the time travel automatically emerged in his mind.

This sentence is the line that announces the beginning of the story of "Awakening of Evil", the first DLC of Darkness 4.

'.......But why does this line appear at this time? "

When he understood the context of what the Pope said, he was even more stunned.

If the game proceeds as expected, the relevant DLC can only be activated after completing the main storyline of the main film.

In other words, if the player has not defeated the necessary bosses and has not completed the main storyline normally, even if the player reaches the Holy Kingdom, the "God-given Revelation" storyline will not be triggered, thus opening the new DLC.

Even the plot of the DLC, judging from the main film, is equivalent to the advanced map of the second half of the game. With his current level configuration, he is far from qualified to touch it.

The monsters were nothing to worry about. His real concern was purely because of the final boss of the DLC - "the creature abandoned by the gods".

To defeat it, you must equip specific runes in the boss room, and the boss itself is only damaged by holy series attacks, so the weapon is at least half limited.

And no matter whether the player is prepared or not, once the plot begins, the game actually becomes a race against time, which is the biggest problem.

When the player hears these words from the Pope, regardless of the main or side quests, if the player completes 25 tasks or defeats 5 bosses, the final boss will awaken from the underground of the Holy Kingdom and overturn the earth.

Once the final boss awakens and the Holy Kingdom is destroyed, all quests related to the Holy Kingdom will be unable to be completed in this DLC, the empire will suffer huge losses, and the plot will be severely distorted.

If it is allowed to continue, the ending will even be fixed at the 'bad end' of 'losing dreams and hopes'.

'Damn it! Absolutely not!'

Thinking of this, Lin Yinxi couldn't help but shudder.

Let him sit alone in a world where everything except him disappears, waiting to starve to death. This kind of thing must never happen!

"Are you okay? You look terrible."

At this time, Lin Yinxi was troubled by the continuous negative thoughts, but when he heard Florita's voice, he remembered that he was still in the church and was meeting the Pope, so he came to his senses in an instant.

Before him, Florita's green eyes were filled with worry.

"...It's okay. Sorry, I just thought of something else. I apologize."

"No, you don't have to apologize to me at all."

Florita said this, covering her mouth with the right hand that was stroking Lin Yinxi's cheek, and then giggled.

"But you're such a special person. You can actually have other thoughts right in front of me. You seem to have a really strong heart."

This sentence is indeed the truth. How dare you let your mind wander in front of the Sun Pope?

If this kind of behavior was seen by the battle nuns, they would have nothing to say even if their heads were immediately smashed by their maces.

Although the reason was unknown, Florita seemed to respond quite indulgently to any behavior shown by Lin Yinxi, which allowed his rude behavior to go unresolved. Otherwise, some combat nuns would definitely not let it go.

"It seems you've figured something out. So, let me ask you again. Have your doubts been resolved, at least to some extent?"

"......"

No, not really.

It's impossible to answer. If anything, the doubts only deepen.

Suddenly, he has a lot to do: he has to clear dungeons and acquire runes to prepare for the final boss battle in the DLC, he has to buy holy weapons or find buffs, and he has to earn experience points and improve his attributes.

"...Right now, working on the DLC story is our top priority."

If you think about it carefully, the condition for the final boss to awaken is 25 tasks or 5 bosses, but just to complete the DLC plot, you will definitely complete 13 tasks and defeat 3 bosses, so the actual tolerance limit is much lower than that.

In addition, the world of Dark Light 4 has now become a reality, which means that while the DLC plot develops, the main storyline of the game will not stagnate, but will move forward with the passage of time.

Therefore, unconditionally prioritizing the DLC plot is absolutely the right thing to do.

"...Your Holiness, the revelation you mentioned? Are you referring to Lin Yinxi?"

Perhaps having just recovered from the Pope's shock, Liz asked Florita with a trembling voice.

Her blue eyes kept shaking, looking alternately at Lin Yinxi and the Pope with an uneasy look.

"I don't know the specific details... After all, how can a mere mortal dare to try to guess the will of the gods?"

Florita released the hand that had been stroking Lin Yinxi's cheek, and also quietly let go of the hand that had been holding his hand.

She smiled at Liz with gentle eyes. It was a smile that made people feel kind, comfortable and at ease from the bottom of their hearts no matter how they looked at it.

But it didn't seem to have any effect on Liz. Her head dropped, and her clenched fists trembled slightly.

"Could you tell me the content of the revelation, Your Holiness?"

"If you want to know, I will. However, the revelation given by God is not complete. Depending on how you understand each word and sentence, you may even come to dozens of conclusions. Is that okay?"

"It doesn't matter. I know everything anyway."

Lin Yinxi nodded as he listened to Liz's anxious questions.

If it was about the explanation of the revelation, he could probably memorize it. As the Pope said, the content of the revelation would point to the player's plot path.

For example, if the player chooses to go the human-friendly route, the revelation will depict the player's struggle against the World Devourer;

If the player chooses to go the human-hostile route, then the revelation depicts a scene of struggle with the emperor or the pope;

On the apocalyptic route where life becomes extinct, there will be scenes where the player becomes the monster itself.

Of these three routes, only the human-friendly route is considered a "Happy End", while the other two routes are both "Bad Ends".

Because it is a "Bad End", players who choose to take the other two routes besides the human-friendly route will not find the atmosphere as gentle and peaceful as it is now when listening to the revelations of the gods.

Just like the revelation of the human hostile route, Lin Yinxi reluctantly heard it from the dying Pope after defeating the Sun Pope BOSS before crossing over.

"A bright light walks in the darkness. Wherever the light goes, the darkness disappears. Countless people follow it, seeking a resting place. In the darkness, countless monsters rush towards them, but under the shining light, they all melt and dissipate."

"......"

Hey? ? ?

If it were the Knights of the Silver Dawn route, this explanation shouldn't be given.
