The sound of crisp footsteps came silently from afar.

Under Adil's gaze, in the distance, Kaiga hurried over with an anxious face, walked directly to Gruul, and whispered something to him.

It didn't take long for Gruul's face to change dramatically, and the expression on his face became serious.

This scene was accurately observed by the surrounding nobles who went to the banquet.

"Your Highness, is there something urgent going on?"

In front of Gruul, a middle-aged nobleman with a handsome face and flawless etiquette asked, taking in all the changes in Gruul's expression.

"Nothing serious. ”

Soon, Grull reacted, and a familiar smile returned to his face: "Everyone, please enjoy the banquet here, and I'll go outside to greet an important guest." ”

After saying this, he had a smile on his face, and then turned around and left directly, walking directly towards the outside world.

Staying where he was, looking at Gruul's distant figure, Adil pondered for a moment, feeling the familiar aura coming from the outside world, and after a while, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked away slowly.

The distance between the party and the gate of the manor was not too far, it was only a moment, and in the outside world, a figure slowly walked from the outside world.

It was an old man dressed in a dimly lit robe with dense black veins carved on his face, and he was now walking towards the center of the banquet surrounded by a group of people.

The man looked very old, the skin on his whole body had dried up, and his old face was full of wrinkles, but with a faint influence of amiability, which made people unconsciously get close to the old man when they saw him, and slowly develop a good impression of him.

He just walked from the outside, all the way through, and the unique aura on his body was also blooming, accompanied by the flying of white hair.

Walking out of the old man's face, Grull quickly smiled and hurriedly saluted him: "Bishop Kudoni, why are you here in person..."

Hearing this title, in the rear, Adil was stunned.

Kudoni, one of the three bishops of the Church of the Darkness in the Kingdom of Tamru, is theoretically one of the supreme leaders of the Church of Darkness, representing the highest power in the Church of Darkness.

A person of this level, even if Gruul's father, the ailing King of Tamru, saw him, he had to abide by etiquette and have the utmost respect for him, not to mention the prince Gruul.

"Because of some things, I need to come to Tamu City, and finally I heard the news from you here, so I stopped by to have a look..."

Cudoni looks very harmonious and serene, and the whole person does not have the slightest arrogance and indifference, but exudes a unique affinity, which makes people can't help but trust him.

This is not only the influence of nature and heart, but also the effect of divine magic and divine power.

In the process of sacrificing to serve the gods and dedicating everything to the gods they serve, the heart and will will gradually move closer to the gods they serve, and slowly bring a little divinity, thus transforming into another form.

If the god is evil, then the sacrifice must also be evil, and if the god served is good, then the sacrifice must also be good.

This point, along with the strength of the sacrifice, will be deepened, if it is to the extreme, it is the legendary presence with God, the realm and level of the earthly saints.

As a bishop of a land, Kudoni's own strength is far above ordinary sacrifices, and his understanding of the path of serving the gods is far beyond what people can compare, and the essence of his own soul has begun to move closer to the gods he believes in, and his words and deeds naturally reveal a little otherworldly essence, which makes people feel intimate, but also noble and unattainable, and feels admired from the heart.

All this is a natural process, even the prince of the kingdom, when faced with such a devout disciple who has embarked on the path of transformation, he can't help but sigh in his heart, and can't help but be affected by it.

"The so-called sacrificial transformation path is really magical..."

Standing quietly in place, feeling the lofty nature of the old man in front of him, Adil couldn't help but sigh, feeling unprecedented curiosity about this path.

"This is the knight who escorted you back safely from the south. ”

While Adil was thinking about something, the old man's gaze had shifted from Gruul and slowly fell on him.

He looked at Adil with a smile on his kind face, and quietly looked at Adier's appearance, as if he admired it.

Inexplicably, Adil felt a strange feeling, as if he had been stabbed in the heart at this moment, and there was a very uncomfortable feeling.

"Honorable Bishop Kudoni... You are more majestic than I imagined. ”

In front of Gruul, Adil didn't hesitate much, and directly lowered his body, making himself look as inconspicuous as possible.

"Young knight, you've won the prize. ”

With a smile on his face, Kudoni looked at Adil in front of him, and maintained a kind and amiable smile on his face at this moment, like a kind old man next door, and like an elder who knows you very well, and patiently taught you: "I'm just an ordinary old man, every time I see you young people, I feel that my youth is getting farther and farther away from me..."

He sighed softly, with a lot of emotion in his words, lamenting that his years were numbered.

The corners of Adier's mouth twitched, listening to the old man's words, he really wanted to speak at this moment.

Although the old priest in front of him is aging, although the body is decaying, but inside the body, there is a huge vitality to support, as far as Adil senses, this old priest may look slow and sluggish on weekdays, but if it is really compared to staying up for a long time, I am afraid that some silver knights can live longer.

In front of Gruul, Adil didn't expose the other party's intentions, so he could only keep responding with a blank face.

Fortunately, after a few words with him, Kudoni seemed to lose interest in him, and quickly turned his attention away from him and to Gruul, allowing Adil to hide and remain silent.

Stepping back from the conversation center, Adil raised his head and looked at the front of him and kept talking, looking like two old friends, Grull and Kudoni, who were like two old friends, couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and prepared to stay in that corner all the time.

The waiting time was naturally very boring, and Adil closed his eyes for a moment, and then had to open his eyes and look into a corner in the distance.

There, a somewhat peculiar gaze was staring at him, with a little bit of hostility in it, and the blatantness of that emotion, that Adil had to notice, and couldn't help but open his eyes and look in that direction.

When I opened my eyes, the two pairs of eyes instantly looked at each other.

Adil opened his eyes to look, but saw in the distance of the crowd, a little girl wearing a black robe, with a dim texture painted on her face, and looking like a dim sacrifice, was standing there, staring at him with a pair of eyes, with a faint hostility in her expression.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Adil always felt that this little girl was a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, and it was not long ago.

"It's the street of that day..."

After a moment, a flash of déjà vu flashed in Adil's eyes, remembering the source of this feeling of déjà vu.

In the first few days of his arrival in the city of Tamu, Adil had wandered around the city, and during those few days, many people had been watching him, including this little girl.

After that day, Adil was no longer seen on the streets, and therefore did not see the girl again, only by memory, and only remembered it after a while.

The little girl looked cute, she looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, and her little round face was a little rosy, and she looked like she had drunk some wine.

She stood there staring at Adil from a distance, wearing a black robe peculiar to a dim ritual, judging from the attire, she should be a trainee priest.

Standing in the distance, the girl obviously did not realize that she had been discovered by Adil, and was still staring there, her fists clenched tightly, and the hostility in her eyes was very obvious.

In place, Adil thought for a moment, and then looked aside.

On a large wine table beside him, Grull and Kudoni were still chatting freely, and their words and deeds seemed to be in perfect harmony, no matter what they thought in their hearts, at least on the surface.

Looking at this scene, Adil shook his head secretly, lowered his head and thought about it, then picked up the wine glass and walked slowly into the distance.

"What are you looking at?"

A distinctive voice sounded, and in the corner of the ball, Adil walked up to the girl and asked softly.

Yes?

Hearing the voice, the girl was obviously stunned, and when she turned around and saw Adier, she was even more stunned, as if she didn't expect him to appear in front of her.

"You..."

She was stunned for a moment, as if she had no idea that this scene would happen in front of her.

"The Sacrifice of the Dark Church..."

Looking at the girl who was directly stunned in front of him, Adil had a smile on his face, and he didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "You seem to have some opinions about me?"

"Bad guy!" seemed to remember something, the girl's face suddenly became excited, and a pair of big eyes stared firmly at Adiel, which made Adil a little inexplicable.

"Bad guy?" Adil shook his head, the smile on his face unchanged: "I really can't be called a good person, but it seems a little wrong to say that I am a bad person..."

"I look... I didn't offend you anywhere, did I?"

"You hurt Uncle Ciel, isn't it a bad guy or something!" As if remembering something, the girl's eyes looked at Adil more and more wrongly, as if she was looking at a potential enemy, ready to strike at any moment.

Although it is only a trainee sacrifice, the girl also has a lot of combat power, at least much stronger than ordinary people.

"Ciel. Nodding slightly, listening to the name, Adiel's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding.

Ciel, this is the dim priest who seemed to stop Adil from leaving when he first met Gruel.

At that time, in order to successfully leave with Gruul, Adil forced his way away with the magic spell performed by the other party, leaving a great impression on the other party.

The divine technique was forcibly broken through by Adiel, and the other party must have suffered a lot of backlash, and I am afraid that he is still seriously injured at this moment.

"How did he end up?" After settling down, Adier's face returned to calm, looked at the little girl in front of him, and continued to ask.

After Adil left the city that day, the city on the border of the Kingdom of Viruba was then massacred by Orff, and the church of the Church of the Darkness was located in it, and it is unknown what happened to it.

In front of her, the girl tilted her head to the side, looking like she didn't want to pay any attention to Adiel's question.

"Ciel, he's fine. A soft female voice came from a distance, with softness and kindness in her voice, giving people a gentle feeling.

A beautiful woman with a delicate appearance and a simple robe on her body walked from a distance, her face was also painted with dim runes that belonged to the dim sacrifice, and her robe was scattered all over her body, completely covering her seductive figure, looking very simple.

She smiled and walked from a distance, first rubbing the girl's head: "Kitty, you are headful again." ”

After speaking to the little girl, she turned around and looked at Adil with some apology on her face: "I am sorry for this child's attitude, please forgive me." ”

"It doesn't matter. Adil shook his head, not paying much attention to it: "I want to know more about what happened in that city after I left that day. ”

"It's a bit complicated..." The woman was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "After you left that day, the remnants of the believers of the God of Killing pulled up the killing field in the city, and the entire city was slaughtered. ”

"Because they are located in the middle of the city, although they have the protection of our Lord God's Domain, they did not die on the spot, but they were still seriously injured and almost died directly. ”

"That's why this kid was hostile to you before. ”

She touched the head of the girl in front of her: "She's Hill's adopted child, and Hill is his father..."

"I can understand that. Adil nodded quietly: "Actually, I'm very sorry for what happened that day..."

"It's us who should be sorry..." The woman bowed her head and bowed to Adiel: "What they did that day was not right in itself, it was an action organized by the radical faction within the church. ”

"The power of sacrifice should not be used to interfere in the internal affairs of the state, and once they do, then whatever the outcome is, they will win. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand, a faint smile appeared on his face, matching her appearance, giving people a very quiet feeling: "Here, I apologize for them. ”

Adil nodded silently, feeling that it didn't matter.

Adil nodded silently, feeling that it didn't matter.
