In the 'Bronze Axe' forging room, Filip followed behind his brother Chili's ass with a gold card in his hand, smiling and praying for some help with manpower and equipment, waiting for Ayton to further develop a new magic guide gun when they returned.

In the mansion, Basha stood outside the locked forged door, not knowing what was going on in her head, and in the front yard, Erin sat on the finished swing and reverberated back and forth, muttering about when the starry night would return.

His father was brewing black potions in a room on the second floor, and the raw materials of these potions were relatively rare, only produced in the depths of the Desperate Forest in the north, and it was difficult for him to go deeper into them now, and when he heard that Ayton and the others were about to go to the Desperate Forest, Baith asked him if he could bring some back, in exchange for lifelong allegiance to him.

In fact, Ayton wasn't very interested in other people's allegiance, but he reluctantly agreed to it for the sake of the girl being cursed every time.

On the streets of the South District, Raya sat on a small cart, the ends of her golden hair peeking out from under the black hood, and her blue eyes stared at Via, who was not far from her, "It's too late to regret it now, I can see it, that guy is very talkative, as long as you follow that bazaar, sell it badly, and then rely on your scheming, contact that dark elf half-blood girl more, he will definitely let you go back." ”

"Thanks, but no more. Via looked down and sorted out the handmade ornaments on the stall, with indescribable complex emotions in her lowered eyes.

"I'm really convinced," Raya scratched her forehead, "You should know the rules of this world, are you willing to stay here for the rest of your life?"

“......”

"And I found that the man seemed to have made something really amazing, enough to change a person's fate."

Via's hand trembled slightly, but she still didn't speak. Raya suddenly walked up to her stall, looked at these exquisite ornaments with disdain, and sneered, she suddenly grabbed a headband and slammed it on the broken brick floor.

With a bang, the ornament was smashed into countless pieces, and the sudden change made Wei Ya stunned in place, she slowly raised her head and looked at the little girl in black in front of her.

"Hmph, I won't smash your little stall today, and someone else will smash it in the future"

The 'demon' raised his chin and coldly dropped the sentence, then turned and left the scene, in the South District, no one would pay for what she smashed...

......

A dark room.

"How's it going?" Roddiri Winston looked down at the half-kneeling man in black in front of him, and there was no trace of a ripple in his blue pupils.

"I haven't found out yet. The man in black bowed his head and replied respectfully.

"What about the two of them?"

"It's still winning people's hearts, and according to intelligence, they have privately cultivated more than 1,000 dead soldiers. ”

"Well, tell those people that I will agree to all the conditions, and besides, don't expose our connections. ”

"Obedience"

The man in black left slowly, and a faint voice suddenly came from the darkness behind him, "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, your subordinates want to know how you plan to arrange things in the future." ”

“... I don't know, let's finish what is in front of me first."

"You must know that the Marcus Empire has amassed a large number of troops on the border, and his vassal state, Otlans, they..."

"I know this, that's why the academy suddenly changed the trial to the Desperate Forest in advance" Luo Dirui interrupted his words coldly, and the depths of his eyes were full of solemnity and sharpness.

The person behind him seemed to sigh and continued to whisper, "What about Her Royal Highness the little princess, are you sure that your choice will save her fate?"

"......" Luo Dirui was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke, "Don't say it again, according to the attitude conveyed by the Xiluo Kingdom, hehe, that kind of diplomacy is useless at all!

......

In the dark region, the blood moon still glows with a dazzling red light, different from the past, nearly a hundred dark elves sit silently on the sacrificial square, with a pungent smell of red goo, painted on their faces with a strange pattern, it is said that this is a special ritual, symbolizing that a new group of excellent warriors have joined the dark elf blood shadow hunting group and become the backbone of the race.

"Are you sure you've got it figured?" In the crowd, Lisa Tower looked at Luna in front of her with complicated eyes, and the latter touched the thick epic sword wrapped in black cloth behind her back, with a determined expression, "Don't say it, sister, I can protect myself." ”

"I'm curious, what if you find those two people, what are you going to do?"

“... I'm going to question me face to face!"

At the edge of the crowd, Sylna lowered her black hood and stared directly at Kidd on the stage, who looked at her with disdain in her eyes.

In another corner, Merlin let out an unbridled laugh, "Hahaha, it's finally working." ”

"Does this thing really work?" Sarias next to her frowned suspiciously, after more than two months of precipitation, their best personnel had all advanced to the early stage of the fourth order, but according to their pure combat power, they were enough to rival the peak of the fourth order or even the fifth order of ordinary human beings.

"Of course it works, but I've tried it myself, it's much more convenient than that forbidden magic ring, and I'll rely on this thing to save my life in the next mission" Mei Lin stared at the newly configured poisons in her hand, and her face couldn't help but smile.

"It's not you, it's us," Saliyaz added, joining the Blood Shadow Hunting Group at this time, they didn't have an advantage in strength, so they had already reached a mutual aid agreement.

"Do you want to call Sylna, Yatokle, and Felta," Merlin suggested.

"Hmph, have you forgotten the grievances of those two guys, Hilna has been a little abnormal lately, that guy from Felta seems to have some thighs next to him, and he definitely won't join us, let alone that guy from Artocles, and Lisata, that woman is thinking about men all over her head, forget it..."

"Don't you think about eating it every day," Merlin muttered in a low voice,

"What do you say"

"It's nothing," Merlin's tone changed, and she continued, "But... I still feel that Her Royal Highness the Master Mother has been a little abnormal in recent years, do you think there will really be any accidents on this hunt?"

"What's this, just complete the task well and survive" Sarias looked away, her tone was particularly relaxed, but there was a deep solemnity in the depths of her eyes.

According to the news, the actions in recent years, especially this time, are really too outrageous, and they actually chose to act on the edge of the desperate forest so close to the cave, which is far from the cautious style in the past, are you really not afraid of revealing the location!? Or is it that even if it is exposed, you are not afraid......

In the heart of the city, in the palace of the Dark Elf Mastermother, with an eerie purple fire flickering around, Shaperina knelt on one knee in front of the eyes of the Mastermother Akdia.

"This mission is very important, and the people of the Holy See seem to have received the news, but our allies on the ground will also take action at that time, but you need to clean up the grasshoppers passing by, be sure to complete it!"

"Subordinates understand" Shaperina solemnly performed the etiquette of the dark elves and slowly retreated.

......

At the same time, far away in the northeastern region of the Makas Empire, the holy city of the Holy See, Helvangon, the people who lived here were well fed and clothed, and devoutly believed in the holy and great goddess of light, for which everyone was proud to wear white robes.

In the midst of this group of white people, a long line of knights wearing silver armor and resolute faces appeared on the most prosperous streets, and the civilians on both sides held their breath, their hands together, and their knees knelt together, praying sincerely for the safety of the travelers and the blessings of the goddess of light.

A few knowledgeable wealthy businessmen raised their heads and glanced at them cursorely, and the whole person suddenly froze in place, and his jaw almost fell to the ground in shock by the gorgeous lineup of this trip.

At a cursory glance, there are more than 2,000 people, which is enough for the strength of two cavalry wings! It seems that there are not as many ordinary human legions, but you must know that each of these silver knights is at least the peak of the third order, and their strength is far superior to that of ordinary regular cavalry of the first and second orders, and the strength of individual soldiers is not even weaker than the Bright Blue Royal Knights who have piled up with money.

At the forefront of the team was a young man wearing luxurious silver armor and extremely handsome appearance, with eyebrows like sharp swords showing coldness.

With the appearance of the noble knight, the crowd on both sides suddenly took a deep breath, because the person who came was the head of the Holy See's Silver Knights, Paladin Scott, it is said that he believed in piety, had excellent talent, and was blessed by the goddess of light at the age of 18, and since then his strength has increased by leaps and bounds, and he is now less than 30 years old, and his strength has broken through to the seventh order, and he is the youngest seventh-order powerhouse in the entire continent!

Not only that, but he also escorted four four-wheeled carriages with white bodies, don't look at the simple and unpretentious appearance, but the conspicuous Shelley flower logo on the carriage is to symbolize that it is the white bishop of the Holy See sitting inside, you know, the white bishop who is rarely seen on weekdays, today actually dispatched four at once! What does this mean, is it any heresy discovered!

Just as everyone was lamenting the changes in the world, another carriage appeared behind the team, but it was not an ordinary horse dragging the cart, but a demonic beast captive by the Holy See—the Bright Unicorn! Everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes from the paladin Scott to the carriage, and through the lifted curtains, they could see that there was an old man about 65 years old, dressed in bright red robes, with an amiable face... He turned out to be a seventh-order cardinal!

On the face of the Holy See, there are only four cardinals in total, and they have given up their names, with the titles of fairness, mercy, punishment, and piety, and they sit in the four positions of the Marcus Empire.

Just as everyone present watched the 'pious' cardinal go away, the crowd behind them erupted into an exclamation again, and when they looked at it, behind the Silver Knights, there was another group of gold-armored knights! The number was about 100 people, each of them hid their faces in dense helmets, only revealing the gaps in their eyes, and their figures sat straight on the tall war horses in battle armor, without saying a word, and slowly moving forward.

The scene seemed to be quiet, but there was a storm in the hearts of the crowd, and the core force of the Holy See, the Holy Knights...

In the continent, if you want to join the Silver Knights, it is already one in a million, and those who can join the Holy Knights... It can be called rare, because the title of paladin belongs to at least a fifth-order powerhouse! There were more than a hundred, and even more terrifying was still behind, and through the staggered figures of the paladins, you could also see that 500 young women wearing crescent-colored sacrificial robes and white veils were closely following the paladin's team...

These priestesses were like messengers passing by heaven, ignoring the reverent gazes of the civilians on both sides of the road, silently walking towards the eastern part of the holy city, but in the center of the priestess, surrounded by a crystal clear four-wheeled carriage, driven in front of them, the same sacred unicorn in captivity by the church, what does this mean...

The person sitting inside is no lower than the cardinal, the sixth-order crescent priest, the seventh-order high priest, or some of the Holy See elders...

"Crescent Priests, Cardinals, Paladins... The three major factions of the Holy See actually worked together to mobilize them all... It seems that something terrible has happened," an old man muttered to himself as he looked at the long queue on the avenue.

In the Holy See, the power is roughly divided into three factions, one is the clerical faction that is on the most visible side and preaches the teachings of the goddess of light, which includes cardinals and whitecoats, and controls the backbone of the Silver Knights, which is mainly responsible for promoting the teachings of the goddess of light to the outside world and punishing heretical traitors.

The second is the sacrificial sect led by the Holy Lady of the Holy See, whose forces include the 'crescent priests' who are all women, as well as ordinary nuns at the bottom, with varying strengths, some responsible for healing and prayer, and some responsible for purification and punishment, whose duty is to assist the priests to propagate the doctrine to the outside world.

Finally, there is the core force, the Council of Elders, this faction has an overview of the most powerful core forces of the Holy See, including the most powerful Paladins on the continent, which is mainly responsible for maintaining the stability of the Holy See and the continent...

And today, the three major papal factions are united in full view of everyone, and the goal is... Forest of Despair!

......

Inside the crystal carriage, which is beyond everyone's sight, the small space gives people a warm and warm color, and the air is filled with an intoxicating fragrance that emanates from nowhere.

"Catherine..."

A soft, windy voice with a hint of reproach interrupted the movements of a young girl dressed in a shiny white sacrificial robe with a sparkling elaborate decoration around her waist, and she retracted her small hand that was about to lift a gap in the curtains, and turned her head to reveal her flawless face.

I saw that the girl named Catherine was about eighteen years old, and her delicate face did not feel any shyness because of the scolding of the sitting woman, but bent her eyebrows, her face was radiant, and her teeth emitted a crisp and ethereal girlish voice like a pearl falling on a jade plate, giving people a feeling like a childish girl.

"Sister Eudora, I just want to see what kind of eyes those people will look at us."

The white-robed woman named 'Eudora' did not speak again, but opened her eyes, which were as beautiful and deep as the stars, and the dull light of her eyes paused for a moment on Catherine, and then slowly closed them again. There may not be anything special about her name, but her identity is enough to make the jaws of the entire Helvagan people fall to the ground in shock, and they want to bow down again.

This elegant posture, quiet as a fairy, cold and noble in appearance, like a snow lotus on the top of the Tianshan Mountain, a woman who is open in coldness and arrogance, is the holy woman of the Holy See today!

Legend has it that the Holy Maiden has an angelic face, captivating the country and the city, giving people a hazy, dreamlike bathed in holy light.

In the carriage in reality, Eudora wore a holy skirt, sat on the soft sofa in the carriage, her long satin hair was draped over her shoulders, her quiet cheeks released a seductive beauty, her jade neck flowed with crystal moisture, and her skin was better than snow, which was more than rumored, a beauty that could not be described in words, and people did not dare to approach, and there should not even be a trace of blasphemy.

"Sister Eudora, you don't have to be like this forever, there are still four or five days to go from here to the Forest of Despair," Catherine fluttered her eyes as bright as diamonds, and her ethereal voice seemed to sweep away all the oppression of people. The identity of a girl who can sit in a carriage with the Holy See is also not simple, she is the youngest crescent high priestess in the history of the Holy See.

At the age of six, she successfully took the Flower of Shelley, and her light attribute affinity was unmatched in the mainland, and at the age of eighteen, she had reached the peak strength of the sixth order, becoming the youngest crescent high priest in the history of the Holy See, but she had cultivated in the Holy See all year round, and her heart was not much stronger than that of ordinary children.

Eudora sighed helplessly, opened her eyes again, looked at the little priest sitting opposite, and her voice was as cold as the white lotus of the snow-capped mountain, "Outside, remember to talk less." ”

"And don't let me speak, just make me dumb then" Catherine stuck out her small tongue, leaned against the window, listened carefully to the sound outside, she forgot how long she hadn't been outside, six years... Or seven years?

Looking at her innocent face, Eudora frowned quietly, this mission is very important, and there are too many unknown risks on the way to the Forest of Despair.... Forget it, it's just a workout to exercise her.

In the team dispatched by the Holy See, there were a total of 3 seventh-order powerhouses, 12 sixth-order powerhouses, a hundred or so fifth-order powerhouses, and even the weakest were all third-order peaks, and their strength accounted for one-third of the Holy See's bright power.

If this lineup is fully revealed, I am afraid that it will not arouse the pride of the believers... It's panic.
