Chapter 263 The Flame of Hope (3k)

When Moon finished his own work, he called Sirius's terminal.

Moon also found Shiris in that cake shop which didn't have much traffic but had a very comfortable atmosphere.

When Siris saw Moon coming, she crossed her arms and raised her head and said:
"Well, you actually came. Since it's you who's treating me, I have to order lots of delicious food that I normally wouldn't eat!"

Moon sat down and said with a smile:

"Then please let it go."

"That won't happen. I finally caught a fool."

In response, Moon just smiled.

Although it was only in the game, Moon was also very clear that girls who said this were often just good at talking.

They are all very gentle in nature.

It's like this over there, and it's even more so in the People's Union.
Maybe Ms. Hillis is a cute girl who would be too scared to even watch a chicken being killed!
In fact, what Moon thought was correct.

Although Shiris spoke very fiercely, in fact, the cakes she ordered were very affordable and delicious.

It doesn't cost much at all.

Looking at Sirius humming a song while enjoying the food, Moon also felt relaxed.

He has been busy with various important things and it seems that he has hardly had any rest.

It might even be that he would set off again soon.

So this rare tranquility really fascinated Moon.

As he was watching, Moon noticed that there seemed to be some shadow next to him and couldn't help but turn his head to take a look.

Then, Moon saw El staring at him and Sirius at the window.

How did Al get here???
It seems so. Girls all like sweets. And did Ms. Hillis say that this cake shop is very famous?

Although there weren't many people.

After the two sides looked at each other for a while, Moon said with a little sweat:
"Ah, Al, hello, come in, it's my treat!"

As Ai'er entered, she took a look at the seats on both sides, then sat down next to Moon without any hesitation, and then deliberately squeezed closer to Moon.

This made Moon lean closer. But the more Moon did this, the more annoyed Ai Er became.

This forced Moen to surrender quickly and say:
"I'm sorry, Al, I really didn't expect you to be here. And don't squeeze me, I'm running out of room. I know it was my fault for not bringing you out. Cake, your favorite Bellagio cake, I'll buy you this to make amends!"

After Moon said this, although he did not make more room, Ai'er did stop.

The reason for stopping was not that Moon's compensation satisfied her.

Instead, she discovered to her despair that Moon felt that the only reason he was angry was because he finally came back but didn't take her out for a gathering.

Well, she was indeed very angry about this.

But wasn't the reason she was really angry because Mo En had finally come back, and it would have been fine if he didn't come to see her, but why did he go out with other girls to eat dessert?
Is this a date?!

Ai'er's silence made Moen think that Ai'er had really calmed down.

I could only say to Sirius embarrassedly:
"Excuse me, this is my friend."

Sirius glanced at the increasingly stiff Ai Er and smiled:
"I know. We're neighbors. Although I don't see you very often, I still see Miss Cromwell from time to time. Well, you obviously have the same last name, but are you just friends?"

"That's not the case. I'm an orphan. It was Al's father, my uncle, who gave me their family name. Al also grew up with me. Although we are not related by blood, we are indeed like brothers, um, like siblings."

Sirius looked at Miss Cromwell with more pity.

She had vaguely discovered it before, and now she was even more certain of it.

This Lady Elmelin Cromwell seemed to have been running wildly on a road with subtle mistakes from the very beginning to the end.

In theory, she needed to oppose the other party's existence, but now she really felt a little pitiful for the other party.

But to be honest, Hillis didn't quite know how she should get along with Miss Cromwell.

She needs to protect him because Morn is obviously very close to her, but she is the Queen's knight.
So Sirius could only turn around and say:
"Please rest assured, Miss Cromwell. Mr. Moon just needed to come here to do some business, so he asked me to deliver it. And to express his gratitude, he allowed me to order some of my favorite desserts here."

"After all, we are neighbors. You are in room 665 and I am in room 668. We obviously need to socialize more to create a harmonious neighborhood relationship."

With just two sentences, both Moon and Ai'er's favorable impression of Sirius increased sharply.

"Ah, I especially recommend their new Pola cake, it tastes very novel and delicious."

"Thank you for your reminder, Ms. Sirius. Well, Morn, I want to eat that! Give me some of that!"

Afterwards, feeling that he had really thought too much, Ai'er enjoyed the delicious food with Moon's company with great peace of mind.

Although there was one more person next to me, it felt really good.

But when the three of them finally left the cake shop and prepared to go back.

Ms. Hillis suddenly stopped.

In the confusion of Moen and Ai'er, he reached out and took off a small piece of cake that had been stuck on Moen's face at some point and said:
"Mr. Moon, you obviously didn't notice this."

After raising the cake on her fingers, Shiris put it directly into her mouth.

Finally, he licked his fingers.

This action instantly stunned Ai'er.

Because the cake was stuck to the other side of Moon's face, she didn't notice it at all as she was standing next to Moon.

She now has two ideas.

Why didn't you notice it yourself?
Also, is she really just a kind neighbor???

Moen was a little embarrassed and said:
"I'm sorry, I didn't notice it, but Ms. Sirius, you were too..."

But Shiris said strangely: "What's wrong? We can't waste food, right? Or do you think it's too intimate? Hahaha, it's nothing. If I really like you, I will just kiss you and lick it off. Okay, let's go back!"

After Moon reluctantly caught up, Ai'er, who fell behind, looked at Sirius, who was at the front, in shock.

This woman seemed a bit too high for her.

It was so high that she had no idea whether the other party was an enemy or not.
-
As that time comes.

Leida, who had been recalling the super-large reunion ceremony in her heart, finally returned to the Old World.

After quickly confirming that nothing nearby had changed at all.

Leida ran directly towards the memorial hall.

And along the way he found Quintus who also couldn't sleep.

When the other person looked at Leida with heavy dark circles under his eyes.

Leida said directly:

"I can save this!"

The sound was not loud, but it made the entire church quiet.

All the people who had been busy with various things looked at Leida at the same time.

After a brief hesitation, Quintus wondered if he was hallucinating and asked:

"I'm sorry, did you just say something?"

Leida said very seriously:
"I said I can save this!"

Quintus stood up directly.

Everyone looked at the foreign girl in shock.

A moment later, a table that was temporarily cleared was immediately surrounded by people.

They all stared at the foreign girl as she continued to draw on the map.

"I am a stranger, and everyone knows it."

"So I just said it straight. When I went back, I found the followers of Saint Constantine."

As the crowd became more and more excited, countless expectations arose.

Saint Constantine is the only recognized demon hunter.

If we were to ask who the demons and the abyss fear the most, it would not be a certain god or king, it would only be Constantine, the Slayer of the Abyss!
"The other party told me how to perform the ritual to call back Saint Constantine."

Looking at the extremely large ceremony, an honor soldier asked very seriously:
“How do we confirm this?”

Leida kept saying:
"I know your name is Dals, and you are one of the first twenty-seven ten thousand captains of the Army of Honor. This is something that many people know."

"People say that you were discovered by Augustus and forced to do forced labor. But what if I say that you were indeed a forced laborer, but you were sent to forced labor because you hired prostitutes but didn't pay them?"

The crowd immediately looked at the ten thousand man Dars, who quickly said:

"That was a forced sale! I was deceived. Okay, how did you know?"

Leida continued without stopping:
"And Master Quintus, you were a slave bought by Augustus from Capua, but no one knows the details. But what if I knew that you said at the beginning that the only Augustus you recognized was not Master Augustus?"

Quintus was also surprised:

"How do you know this?"

Leida said without raising her head:
"Because Saint Constantine is Monsignor Augustus."

"All this the saint told me through his followers, so that you will believe me."

"Both Saint Constantine and Lord Augustus have completed their missions, but he also knows that you still need him. However, he cannot come back directly by himself, so he needs you to help him."

"I need you to call him back from his resting place!"

After saying this, Leida also drew the entire unusually large reunion ceremony.

This is just the most basic framework; more details cannot naturally be drawn.

But it was enough to let people know what they were going to do.

It was indeed the super-large scale that was foreseen from the beginning.

So big that it made them extremely silent.

Because many places needed for this ceremony have already fallen.

After a moment of silence, people asked seriously:
"how long it takes?"

"Once the ritual is complete, you can start summoning."

"Is there any problem with the confirmation ceremony?"

The question is not whether it can be successful, but whether the ritual has been remembered correctly?
Leida also said seriously:
"My memory is the only thing I can vouch for!"

The former Honor Army and the current Honor Army looked at each other and said to Leida:

"We will retake the lost areas so that the ceremony can proceed smoothly. We promise that no matter how many people die before the ceremony is completed, we will definitely defend it."

Knowing what this meant, Leida couldn't help but move her throat and said:
"Please remember that we are racing against time!"

People all smiled and said:
“We will definitely outperform.”

Lord Augustus, who had completed his mission, still missed them and wanted to come back to handle everything for them that they should have handled themselves.

The people who are most qualified to ignore everything that happens are still trying to save them, so what reason do they have to say no when they are the ones who should save themselves the most?
