The matter of cooperation, Ciel was not in a hurry to respond.
From Tara’s expression, it was clear that she had seen some secret related to her own interests just now. Discussing cooperation now, without having the complete information, she wasn’t in a position to discuss the details of cooperation.
But delaying this kind of thing for a while was still very simple… Anyway, the simulation would end at 17:51 in the afternoon.
“You detached from your body just now, didn’t you, Your Holiness?”
Ciel looked at the Pope before her and changed the subject.
“That is correct…”
The Pope glanced at the armor wreck that had been dragged up and said, “Thank you for bringing my body up, Your Excellency Ciel.”
“That’s good then… I thought that being from the Other Side had devoured your mind and body…”
Ciel smiled and nodded, saying, “I’m glad you’re alright.”
“Other Side… being?”
In the Pope’s empty eye sockets, dark green flames flickered slightly. Their voice began to show hesitation, “Are you saying…”
“Yes, the owner of that fortress, a being from the depths of the Other Side.”
Ciel slightly nodded. “It occupied your empty shell and transformed into a… white gilded armor.”
White… gilded armor?
At this moment, not only the Pope, but even Henry behind the Pope, were completely stunned.
“May I ask… why did it appear? Is it still downstairs now? Did it say anything to you?”
Henry seemed a little anxious. He stepped forward and quickly asked.
His question, however, made Ciel’s heart calm down slightly.
The other party was more anxious than she was. It seemed this information hit their point of need directly.
Thus, the side with the information advantage was herself again.
“I still need some time to decipher what it said… My mind is a little confused right now. I hope you can understand,”
Ciel shook her head, looking a little troubled. “If possible, I hope to go back now. I want to record its appearance.”
“Tara, paper.”
Ciel extended her hand towards Tara. Tara quickly took out a notebook and a pen and handed them to Ciel.
Swish swish swish—
Ciel quickly wrote down an address on the paper, then handed it to the Pope before her, saying, “This is my address. If you don’t mind, I should be able to decipher the information before eight o’clock tonight. You can visit then, and we can discuss the matter of cooperation again…”
“Okay, no problem.”
The Pope extended their hands and took the notebook from Ciel, saying, “I will definitely visit on time then.”
“Let’s go, Tara.”
Ciel walked towards the door with Tara. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and turned to look in the Pope’s direction, saying, “Oh, right, there are a few words I understood… It said that in the East, someone is preventing its arrival…”
“Yes… I understand.”
The Pope slightly nodded. They raised their right hand to Ciel, clenched their fist, and brought it to their chest. Then they raised it and opened their palm, stopping at their forehead, performing the Church of the God of Order’s salute to Ciel.
Ciel was not unfamiliar with this gesture. She had seen an explanation of this action when reading books. In the doctrine of the Church of the God of Order, the chest represents vows and the heart, the horizontal motion represents balance and justice, and the forehead symbolizes wisdom and order.
This entire sequence of movements, using the right arm as the pivot point, from the left chest to the forehead, draws a triangle, corresponding to the triangular symbol of the Church of the God of Order.
Ciel had nothing to return the salute with. She just nodded in acknowledgment and then left.
Not until a long time after Ciel and her people had left the hall and the door was closed, did Henry look up at the Pope and ask, somewhat incredulously, “Your Holiness… this information… it wasn’t written in the Other Side memorandum, was it?”
The Pope remained silent, only shaking their head repeatedly.
All they hoped for now was for time to pass faster.
“Let’s go to the East District. Find Forte and figure out what’s going on.”
While waiting, they had to find Forte and exchange information.
…
Ciel, Tara, and the others took the carriage prepared by the Church of the God of Order and hurried on their way back home.
The reason they chose to take the Church of the God of Order’s carriage was to avoid accidentally meeting Forte and encountering unnecessary trouble.
Ciel had given the Pope her address, but she wasn’t too worried about this.
If they investigated, they would definitely find out about her close relationship with Avena, which would inevitably link her to “Crown Guard” Nia. They might even speculate that her interference had caused their plan to take Nia to fail before.
But none of this mattered, because by the time the Pope came with people to investigate, Ciel would have already left this simulation.
What she was more concerned about now was what Tara had seen earlier, while she was still communicating with the Other Side being downstairs.
Upon returning home, Ciel took Tara and Percy to her room.
After sitting down on the sofa, Ciel looked up at Tara and Percy, who were standing beside her, and said, “Sit down.”
With Ciel’s permission, the two sat down opposite Ciel.
Percy, especially, seemed to have become even more respectful of Ciel after the events just now.
“Tara, what did you see just now?”
Ciel looked at Tara before her and said, “You seem a little restless.”
“Lord Ciel…”
Tara took a deep breath, stood up, and looked at Ciel, saying, “Just now, I saw that Pope…”
Tara hesitated for a long time, unable to find a suitable word. After stumbling for a while, she looked at Percy beside her and said, “I apologize, Percy. I signed a contract. This information can only be told to Lord Ciel…”
