Chapter 61: The Illuminati

'I'm sorry, you don't want to take any of these people!' Seeing that El Rose and I were about to be escorted to the flying car, suddenly I only heard an elegant female voice in the distance, and then a ball of light attacked, the flying car was blown to pieces in front of us, and the air wave blew me and Eroth directly out, I only felt my head 'urn' on the ground, almost lost consciousness, and finally calmed down, only to see that the surroundings were already in chaos, including Elena, all the people of Gorsa turned their eyes to the west side of the palace square, and looked along their line of sight, I saw a group of people in white rushing towards this direction, and the robes were all embroidered with a striking blue cross.

'It's the Holy See!' The people of Gorsa suddenly became nervous, but before they could react, the group of men in white rushed in front of me and Eros.

'Come!' The two men in white came to my side and couldn't help but say that I would pick up and leave, but before I could see the two of them, I felt a strong wind blowing in my face!

'Poof' only heard a soft sound, and then looked at the two heads of the two people who were holding me were actually gone! Blood gushed down the wound, and if it weren't for the fact that I'd seen it too many times in my nightmares, I would have vomited with nausea.

'Hmph.' A contemptuous sneer suddenly sounded in my ears, and I turned my head to see that Yelena was standing behind me at some point, and needless to say, the heads of these two were lost by it.

'The Bright Regiment also dares to come here to be presumptuous, a bunch of self-righteous guys.' Elena looked at everyone and said with disdain on her face.

'Illuminati!' I couldn't help but be surprised when I heard it say this, it was a special organization directly under the Holy See, at first it was only a scholarly organization responsible for the study of ancient documents, but later with the continuous strengthening of the authority of the Holy See, their functions began to change subtly, as everyone knows that there are a number of ancient legends and classics that have been handed down all over the world, of course, most of them are artistic creations and imaginations of later generations, but there are still very few of them are true and credible, Many of these contents are different from the history and worldview propagated by the Holy See today, which directly challenges the very essence of the authority of the Holy See, so since the time of the Great Empire, the Holy See has consciously collected these texts, and then destroyed or tampered with them in order to consolidate its own rule, and the responsible for this work is the 'Illuminati', because this is a vast and dangerous project, so during this period the Illuminati have become more and more active, because its members are basically clergy, so they are inconvenient to be like ' Originally, the Holy See was prevalent in white magic, focusing on recovery and defense, but the 'Illuminati' secretly learned a lot of 'black magic' with attack power out of the needs of the mission, due to the huge resource advantage in the hands of the Holy See, so later their achievements in this way even surpassed the 'wizards' guild' and many dark magicians, with the defection of Elros, the Holy See began to doubt the loyalty of the 'Templars', At the same time of strengthening the supervision and review, they also began to give more power to the 'Illuminati', so that the two sides can check and balance each other, I have to say that the old guys of the Holy See are indeed experts in playing power schemes, especially in recent years, due to the 'resurrection of the demon king', the authority of the church has gradually shaken, so they have become more and more dependent on the 'Illuminati', and many major confidential tasks are often entrusted to them to perform, and their status has even surpassed the 'Templars', but I didn't expect to meet them here this time, this 'trip to the Five Kings City' was really eye-opening...

To say that these people have probably seen a lot of bloody scenes, obviously their companions have just been in a different place in front of them, but they don't seem to be moved at all, and they are about to attack Yelena, please, do these guys know who they are facing!? But this time, I didn't wait for Yelena to make a move, Igor suddenly stabbed out and killed five or six in a blink of an eye, and sure enough, if it wasn't for this guy last night, it would not have been possible to plant it in our hands.

'Stand back!' At this time, the elegant female voice sounded again, and I couldn't help but look up, only to see her standing in the center of the line, wrapped in a wide robe, and her face was still covered with a veil, although she could not recognize her appearance and figure, but just the gesture of her hand and foot that was standing there at that time showed a noble and extraordinary bearing, and at this time her slender jade hands were holding a golden staff, and the top of the staff was also inlaid with a huge ruby...

'Staff of St. Michele!' Before I could react from the initial astonishment, a blinding light shone from the ruby, and I felt a light in front of my eyes, and then I couldn't see anything anymore in pain.

At this moment, I don't know who took my hand, and then I felt a strong pull of my whole person into the air, because my eyes couldn't see clearly, at this time I only felt that the world was spinning, almost fainting, at first I could hear the exclamations of the people around me, but soon these were scattered by the strong wind, out of instinct I grabbed the hand that held me, it was obvious that it was a pair of young women's hands, smooth and fine, soft as boneless, if I usually say anything I can't be willing to hold a girl's hand so muchI don't know how long it took for us to slow down, I could vaguely feel that I was descending, and finally I felt my feet touch the ground again, and the hand that was holding me before finally let go, and I suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground, and as a result, I ate a lot of mud in my mouth, and my body was also knocked to pain, but at that moment I felt like I had been pardoned.

'Maria-sama.' At this time, I heard a shout in the distance, and when I looked up, I saw a few white figures shaking, because my eyes had not yet recovered, so I couldn't see it clearly, and at this time, the girl who rescued me before put away something similar to the shape of a magic battle, and slowly greeted it.

'Maria-sama, you're back, are you alright?' The crowd who came to greet her asked with concern.

'It's okay, I'm worried about you.' Hearing this voice, I was convinced that it was the girl who rescued me who had just used the 'Staff of St. Michel' in the square, it seems that all this was planned by her, first using the 'flash technique' to temporarily blind the people of Gorsa, and then using the flying technique to take me away while everyone was in chaos, these are very simple to say, but to be in that situation at that time undoubtedly requires strong action and decisive judgment, at that time I couldn't help but look at the girl in front of me differently, But what happened later proved that I still underestimated her at the time...

'How's it going over here?' Maria asked.

'Everything works.'

Maria nodded, then turned to face me.

'Set him up, be careful.'

'Yes!' With her order, a few people came over and set me up without saying anything, not to mention that these guys are really heavy. Then Maria walked slowly up and down in front of me, looked up and down for a moment, and then suddenly ripped the coat off my chest.
