After seeing Joyce leave, Jian Lu looked down at the "male pet" who was already half tired of his arms.

"What is Joyce doing here?"

Hines reached out and put his arms around his neck, leaned up and kissed him at the corner of his cold lips, and said hoarsely: "It's nothing, I know that we are here, so my old friend came to catch up, and by the way, I thanked us for the potion formula we gave him, so that his body could be restored." ”

In fact, the potion formula given to Joyce to improve the half-demon physique was researched by Hines and Jian Lu together. After the two of them were exiled to the Lost Land, the environment of the Lost Land and the direction of human evolution there attracted Jian Lu's attention, especially after coming into contact with those Saktors and discovering that they were all demons, Jian Lu vaguely had an idea.

Jian Lu knew from the introduction of the system that Joyce Griffin, as the heir of the Griffin Chamber of Commerce, had the wealth of the entire continent, and finally stood firmly behind Evera to support her for two reasons, one was that Avila helped him get the Blood Demon Flower to cure Lady Griffin's illness, and the other was that Evera used her divine power to transform the body of the half-demon, solved the sick and weak appearance of Joyce in her human form, and continued his life.

No one doesn't want to live, especially someone like Joyce, who wants to live even more, he has too many things to do, how can he be willing to die early because he is a half-demon? Therefore, whoever can solve the above two problems will be able to gain the loyalty of this half-demon.

Jian Lu naturally couldn't let Joyce, the big killer, have the possibility of standing behind Avira to support her, so when he was in the Lost Land, when he saw those Saktors, he had a mind and had been studying this direction, although his potion level was not high, but his thinking was not limited by this world, and he dared to innovate boldly, and there was a discussion with Hines, a scholar, and finally let them research a potion to improve the body of a half-demon person.

As it turned out, Joyce did admit their affection, and Evira went to him to cooperate with him as the goddess of the Church of Nightlight, and even though she was bewitched by the goddess divinity on Evila's body halfway, she quickly strengthened her heart and refused her cooperation.

Hearing Joyce's refusal, Jian Lu was naturally happy, but while he was happy, he didn't let him dispel his doubts.

"Is it really that simple?" Jian Lu pinched his ears.

Hines buried his face in his arms, his voice a little muffled, "You don't believe me......"

"It's hard for me to believe what you've done!" Jian Lu said calmly.

Hines bit him through his magic robe, and before Jian Lu could become angry, he had already cried out aggrievedly, "What did I do to make you unbelievable? Jane, you're always suspicious of me......"

Jian Lu Moran, this guy is too scheming, when a person has top-level strength and scheming methods that no one can match, it is enough to change the pattern of a world, so he has to doubt. Although Hines didn't do anything now—in fact, someone had done a lot of things that shocked him when Jian Lu didn't know it—but Jian Lu always felt that some things were not easy.

Hines reached out, pushed him down on the couch, and pressed him up.

Because Jian Lu didn't believe him, the evil dragon who was too aggrieved tossed him over and over, and the physique transformed by the Dragon Soul Fruit finally played a role, and he was tossed ruthlessly, and he didn't have to drink potions to relieve it as before, and somewhere he was overused, it was only red and swollen now.

Jian Lu thought silently, sure enough, transforming the mage's delicate physique or something, in fact, it was convenient for this person to toss him, right? It's too low-limit!

****

Before the New Year, Jane Lu and Hines return to Cabe City in the Western Continent.

Returning to the main hall of the Temple of Light, Jian Lu was called over by the Pope for questioning, and naturally asked about things related to the Night Dawn Church. Jian Lu has been away for more than two years, although he has been wandering in the Demon Realm for a year, but in the eyes of the people of the Temple of Light, he has been hiding in the shadows to investigate the affairs of the Night Dawn Church, and the information sent back twice afterwards is very detailed, which also proves that he is indeed very serious about carrying out the tasks assigned to him by the Temple of Light.

"My boy, you're doing a great job." The Pope read the information that Jian Lu brought back, praised him very kindly, turned around, and said, "But now there is a task to be handed over to you." ”

Jian Lu stood there humbly, his expression calm, and he looked like he was listening carefully.

When Jian Lu left the temple where the Pope was, and as soon as he came out, he saw the Holy Maiden, Amelia.

"Jane." Amelia showed a soft smile on her cold face, bathed in the sun, the whole person was pure and holy, although she still had the holiness and nobility of a saint who did not eat the fireworks of the world, but there was an extra taste of happiness that belonged to a woman, presumably for the woman who was about to become a bride, the meaning was different.

Jian Lu smiled back with a gentle smile, and was very happy to see her at this time, and asked, "Why are you here?" Your wedding is just a few days away, shouldn't you be waiting to be married in Duke Adams' Palace? ”

Although Amelia is a saint, her father is a duke, and she is about to marry Prince Alex, the first heir to the Edith Empire, if there is no accident, she will become the queen of the Edith Empire, and the queen and the saint are different, so during this time, Duke Adams took her back to the mansion and started pre-marital training for her.

"I heard you're back, so I'm coming to see you." Amelia said, looked at it, and asked, "What about Hines?" ”

"Lord Boswell called him over."

Except for a few days in a hurry when she graduated, the two hadn't seen each other for nearly two years, and Amelia rarely pushed the family training over, and Jian Lu naturally wouldn't drive her away without interest, so he invited her to the courtyard to drink tea, and by the way, she reminisced about the past.

Main Hall of the Order.

Boswell took out the best wine Browning to entertain the guests, and after drinking half a bottle of wine, he said with a slight drunkenness: "In a few days, it will be the wedding of the Holy Maiden and Prince Alex, and now the relationship between the Temple of Light and the four empires is very tense, although there is the Edith Empire in it, but the rapid development of the Night Dawn Church is pressing step by step, the situation is no longer optimistic, and the Temple of Light has encountered a crisis that is rare in thousands of years." ”

Hines drank nonchalantly and did not speak.

Boswell was a little disappointed, "Hines, my most loyal friend, you still refuse my invitation?" ”

"Not bad." Hines smiled, "I'm not interested in what you're doing, and who is in charge of the Temple of Light isn't very attractive to me anymore. ”

Boswell's pupils shrank, and his alcohol went a little away, and he was silent for a while, and asked, "Are you serious?" ”

"Yes!"

Boswell's expression turned grim, and the hideous scar on his face seemed to be still.

Hines finished drinking the wine in his hand, tossed the crystal glass, landed smoothly on the wine cabinet, and got up to leave.

Boswell looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh, "I knew that the Holy Son had such ability, and I shouldn't have treated him as a puppet in the first place." After that, I couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of the Temple of Light, the meaning of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter in the Temple of Light was different, not only was she not a puppet, but she also had the right to participate in and veto decisions in the temple, and it could even be said that she was the candidate for the preparatory pope and the elder group of the temple. It's just that I don't know where to start, the meaning of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter in the Temple of Light has changed, and she has become a puppet of the temple control, and she has been excluded from the power center of the Temple of Light, and she has no choice, and can only arrange their lives by the temple.

Jane Graffard was supposed to be a puppet Son, but after he brought back a child from Dark Street, raised him himself, and reserved a Son to protect the Paladin, everything changed. Who would have thought that one thing that the elders didn't care about at the beginning would cause the current situation.

Hines Stukart is obviously not a loyal person, but he can be so loyal to the Holy Son, and he chooses to stand by coldly when it comes to the power struggle within the temple, and even suppresses the development of the Knights because of the Holy Son, so that the Knights, the Pope, and the Elders form a three-legged situation, and no one can help anyone.

Boswell was really unwilling in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

Unless he can kill Hines.

But this is clearly a bad decision.

****

When Hines returned to the palace of the Holy Son, he saw two people sitting at the round table drinking afternoon tea in the courtyard, they looked very similar, not only the smiles on their faces, but even their demeanor, holy and elegant, cold and detached, like white clouds in the distance, out of reach.

This is the Son and Daughter of the Temple of Light.

"Hines, you're back." Amelia saw the blonde youth standing in the courtyard and smiled at him.

Hines bowed his head at her and sat down next to Jian Lu, and in Jian Lu's warning gaze, he didn't do anything "male favorite" - although he really wanted to do this kind of thing, but in order not to be kicked out of bed at night, he had to endure it.

"Amelia, why are you here?" Hines smiled and asked, "Could it be that the Adams family's pre-marital training is too tiring?" ”

Amelia pursed her lips, "Hines, your guesses are always so accurate, what else in this world you can't guess?" ”

Hines smiled at her, his smile as straight as the model of all paladins, "There's so much I can't guess. ”

After Vena brought Hines a cup of tea, Amelia complained to them about some of the troublesome etiquette and rules of the noblewoman's daughter, as well as the pretentious noblewoman who disgusted her very much, she grew up in the Temple of Light, which focused on strength, rather than the life of a man all day long like the daughter of a nobleman, and every time she returned to the Addams family, she felt out of place.

In the end, he said lightly: "Recently there have been many strangers in the city of Kabe, I heard that they are messengers from all over the world who have come to congratulate the wedding, and when I came here before, I saw a group of people in the street, who did not look very like messengers, and they had a dangerous aura about them, like people walking on the edge of darkness. ”

Jian Lu smiled at her and said softly, "Amelia, don't worry, you will be the most beautiful bride!" ”

Amelia's face flushed slightly, thank him for his compliment, when it was almost dark, her maid came to urge her, and then she and Jian Lu said goodbye and left.

Watching the Adams family's carriage leave, Jian Lu's gaze was cold and distant, until Hines put his hand on his shoulder, then he glanced back at him and slapped his hand away.

Hines didn't care, followed him back to the bedroom, whispered what he had said to Boswell in the main hall of the Knights, and finally said: "Boswell is a little anxious, I think the current layout of the Temple of Light is very good, and there is no need to change, so I didn't agree to his proposal." ”

Jian Lu slowly walked through the surrounding corridor covered with roses, and there was no reaction on his face. Boswell was ambitious, and if it weren't for Hines's suppression, he would have been able to seize the power of the Temple of Light and make the Pope a puppet of the Knights, instead of the current three-legged power.

But there is no doubt that with the rapid development of the Night Dawn Church, it is indeed not appropriate for the Temple of Light to have civil strife, otherwise it will only collapse like the original book and make wedding clothes for others. Hines can see it clearly, so he will suppress Boswell's ambitions, so that the Temple of Light can maintain the current situation, and save himself from facing external and internal troubles.

"Jane, won't you reward me?" Hines has to inch into the tunnel.

Jian Lu looked at him sideways and nodded, "Hmm, you're fine." ”

"That'......," he said, expectantly.

"Amelia's wedding is here, recharge your batteries!" Jian Lu is stern and straightforward.

Hines was immediately deflated, and when he returned to the room, he would lie in his arms and refuse to get up, so that Jian Lu did not dare to let Vina in, so as not to be seen as shameless and skinless.

On the day of the New Year, the wedding of Prince Alex, the first heir to the throne of the Edith Empire, and the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Light took place in the Royal Palace.

The sky of the entire city of Cabe is enchanted, and the sky is decorated with colorful magic, and beautiful magical petals are often sprinkled from the sky, and people walk in it, as if they smell the fragrance of flowers.

The Holy Maiden Amelia was married from the Temple of Light, and Prince Alex led the First Legion of the Empire to greet his most beautiful bride, the First Legion wore golden armor, tall posture, neat steps, and god-like momentum, showing the strength of the Editis Empire to all the foreign guests who came to watch the ceremony.

The wedding began in the evening, and the sky was already dark, and the sky of Kabay City was full of fireworks.

After Jian Lu saw Amelia in a beautiful wedding dress being picked up by her husband, she hurriedly left the Temple of Light and came to the city wall at the main gate of Kabe City, leaning on the corner of the city wall, looking up and enjoying the fireworks in the sky, suddenly the system screen appeared, and countless red dots appeared densely in the system map.

Jian Lu's spirits were lifted, and the battle began.
