The old priest did not answer.

This is considered an admission, but there is no trace of nervousness on his face. He stood there quietly, his sparse white hair meticulously combed back, his slightly old white robe was clean and tidy, but his ordinary facial features showed a strange brilliance at this moment, calm, majestic, and inviolable.

Like a saint who dies calmly.

Naria looked at him with mixed feelings. She couldn't have too much disgust, even if the other party was undoubtedly an enemy, maybe he was still the culprit who threw Ed into another dimension, but his eyes were so bright and determined...... There's no madness in that.

“...... Why?" Laval asked.

That's exactly what Naria wanted to ask.

"Because I can really feel his presence. The old priest replied calmly, "because he gave me a response." ”

"You can disguise yourself as a follower of another god for this?" asked York, angrily, "isn't that a betrayal?!"

"Yes. "When I knelt down in front of the statue of the goddess of the earth, I was silently chanting another name in my heart, and I wore this white robe and enjoyed the awe of the sacrifice to another god—it was indeed a betrayal." But ......"

The corners of his mouth curled a little with a sarcastic arc: "For decades, I have not been punished in any way for such a blasphemous disguise...... The goddess who guarded the earth is long gone, or maybe it never really exists. If so, where does the so-called 'betrayal' begin? ”

"But doesn't such a disguise in itself mean anything?" retorted York, "if a god allows his followers to use such means...... Where else is there for him to believe?!"

- Naive.

Even Naria's mind couldn't help but pop up these two words.

So Yago didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, just glanced at Balk with a smirk. Lutgar's biggest spy boss is standing here, and "disguise" is probably the simplest and most harmless method for him...... York's accusation was obviously even scolded by him.

Balk smiled nonchalantly. Laval shook his head at the innocent young priest with some helplessness.

York was stunned and silently closed his mouth, his face changing, as if he had finally realized that his words were inappropriate.

"So, what are you going to do with me?" said Yago, spreading his hands, "don't act like you're facing the enemy...... I'm not going to resist. ”

He even bowed to Laval.

"After all, my strength is far inferior to yours. He said.

Laval smiled wryly.

Even if Yago had no intention of resisting, they would still have a problem in front of them - at such a time, the news that the High Priest of the Earth Goddess was actually a follower of Nesses would cause great confusion. When priests who worship the same or different gods look at each other with suspicion, they even begin to doubt their own beliefs......

"It depends on what you've done. ”

After entering the three-storied pagoda, Balk spoke for the first time, "I don't know what will happen to the gods...... But you're still human, my lord. If you are a human being, you have to obey the laws of mankind. ”

“...... What do you think I've done?" Yago narrowed.

"We'll figure it out. Balk replied lightly.

York opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything. The clergy are accustomed to taking everything that concerns them into their own hands...... But that's not the case anymore. Especially when it is necessary to conceal the facts, Balk ...... At least more experienced, it can also avoid new conflicts between different temples.

"If you need help...... Laval said thoughtfully.

Balk nodded.

"In the name of the king," he said, "I will not be polite. ”

This sounds a little arrogant, but with the almost innocent smile on the old man's face, it seems indescribably sincere.

Laval looked up and said in a regretful tone: "It seems that today is not a good time to visit here?"

It sounded like a joke trying to lighten the mood, so everyone tried to laugh.

"There's always going to be a chance. Balk reached for the door, then raised an eyebrow - it couldn't be pulled.

Yago chuckled meaningfully, and the atmosphere instantly became a little weird.

After a brief dead silence, Naria ran over without a sound and opened the door with ease.

“...... Surprising!" York involuntarily became excited again, and countless questions rushed to the tip of his tongue and were swallowed back.

“...... There will always be a chance. Naria smiled comfortingly at him.

Balk was the first to step out. Laval replaced the faint cord of light on Yago's leg with another restraint, motioning for him to turn. York stared at Yago's back and followed respectfully. Naria stood by the door, her gaze seemingly unconsciously sweeping the ground.

A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the air—right in the back of Laval's heart. Before he could react, a sharp ice vertebrae instantly formed, piercing the invisible barrier on the priest's body and penetrating his body.

This sudden turn of events froze York's footsteps and his heartbeat. His eyes widened in a daze, and he couldn't move, until the ice vertebrae flew out with blood again, and then he roared angrily, and turned sharply, and in his hands shot two sharp arrows that were like the condensation of sunlight.

A tall figure quickly emerged in the corner of the hall. Even after discerning who it was, the young priest did not stop attacking, and even rushed straight into it in even more raging.

They weren't supposed to believe him in the first place—dragons were evil in the first place.

Another man's voice stopped him.

"York!"

Ed, who suddenly appeared, nimbly used his staff to pinch his hands apart, destroying the spell that had not yet taken shape, and then dragging him back.

York glared at him and stopped—he instinctively couldn't believe that Ed would betray them too.

Is, who had already grasped the ice vertebrae that had flown back, threw them away in disgust with a slight sniff, and nodded to Ed.

York subconsciously turned his head.

Laval still stood there straight, the ice spine piercing the wound oozing only a meager amount of blood, and as he slowly turned around, York felt his heart rise high and fall heavily.

Laval's face was as usual, and he didn't look affected in the slightest, but inevitably with anger...... The ice vertebrae seemed to be crooked a little and didn't pass through his heart.

And behind Laval, the door of the three-storied tower has been closed again. Naria was nowhere to be seen, but Yago was still there, with a strange look on his face, looking at Laval with unusual concentration.

Surprised, disgusted, jealous and contemptuous.

"That's really...... Wonderful. He said, "I am still a human being, and you, the high priest of Anduhe...... What is it?"
