In the distance, Irina Komnenos saw the crumbling walls of the city of Lero.

More than half of the tower had collapsed, and the darkness of the dragon's breath on it was a stark contrast to the bright busts of the soldiers standing guard on it.

As the afternoon approached, the scorching sun made people sweat profusely just a few steps, and even though she had applied a magic spell that could cool down and put on a cloak that could block her whole body to defend against the sun, it still made Irina feel uncomfortable.

Perhaps because she couldn't see her face clearly, and because of the exaggerated size of the halberd wrapped in linen behind her, the soldiers guarding the city gate became vigilant and reached out to stop her.

"Stop! Who? Two warriors stepped forward to stop her, and the rest of the warriors also acted on her in a defensive manner.

Irina reluctantly lifted the hood from her cloak so that the guards could see her clearly, and wiped a little sweat from her forehead by the way.

Irina looks no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, it is the season of youth and vitality for girls, fair skin, delicate face, burgundy smart eyes, long black hair tied into a single ponytail hanging behind her, looking heroic!

The beautiful girl's pretty appearance made the young soldiers guarding the door stunned for a while, and finally a young soldier with the appearance of a captain came back to his senses and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?" Did you come to the city of Lero for any purpose? ”

With a troubled expression on her face, Elena took out a belt bag from her waist bag, took out a red red cross emblem entwined with thorns and vines, and put it in front of the young soldier captain.

"Templar Priest," Irina rummaged through her purse again, pulling out a leather book with the Templar emblem and handing it over, "Would you like to take a look at my Templar papers?" ”

The team leader glanced at Elena suspiciously, but still checked the paperwork handed over by Irina, looked at it carefully, and then raised his head and said to Irina: "Speaking of which, my uncle is a believer in Mother Earth God, and I have lived in his house for several years, but I have never heard of the Templar Church having the position of Visiting Priest......"

"Also, although it has the seal of our national parliament on it," said the team leader, flipping through the paperwork, pointing to the words on it, "but your so-called parade document has been expired for several months!" ”

"......" Irina looked at the squad leader a little speechlessly, and Sakura's lips opened slightly, "So what?" Are you going to arrest me? ”

"Uh......" The team leader suddenly seemed a little hesitant, after all, he was only a little suspicious and wary of the girl priest, and it could not be said that doubt could prevent the priest in front of him from entering the city, and he did not have the right to prevent civilians from entering the city.

However, the huge long-handled object wrapped in linen behind the girl's back should be a weapon, and she can walk easily with such a huge weapon, and she doesn't even sweat much on such a hot day, and the girl is obviously not weak.

It has only been half a month since the last disaster in Liluo City, and most of the city is still in ruins, and I don't know when it will be time to rebuild the city and restore its original prosperity, is it really good to let such a dangerous person enter the city now?

"Let her in!"

Just as the squad leader hesitated, a voice came, and the soldiers looked back, and immediately stood up and saluted: "Squadron Leader Nien!" ”

"That's it!" Nien waved them away, then said to Irina, "You, go in!" ”

Irina glanced at the middle-aged soldier with a scar on his face and a veteran's breath and said, "Do you know the Patrol Priest? Are you so relieved that I'm going to town? ”

"Humph! Is it just a bunch of masochists? There's something unusual. Nien rolled his eyes at Irina, who looked dusty, "It's the same whether you let in or not, we can't beat you, you can still enter the city anyway, but when you get to the city, it's not just us, do you understand?" ”

Irina indifferently retrieved her pilgrimage and emblem from the captain's hand, then put on her hood and left the soldiers and walked into the city of Liero.

"Squadron Leader Nion," a young soldier asked in a low voice, "what is the position of the Templar Church?" ”

"Oh, the so-called Celebrant is another name for an ascetic! Ascetics, you know, like to run around looking for abuse. However, the agreement between the Templar Church and the kings strictly divided the mission area, so in order to be able to enter the non-mission area to practice, the name of the parade priest was installed...... "Squadron Leader Nion said to the soldiers.

"Oh...... I see. ”

"I see! Worthy of the squadron leader......"

Receiving a wave of admiring glances from the young soldiers, Nien's heart was very proud, but he still put on a stern expression on his face, allowing the soldiers to return to their posts.

Irina, who had just passed the city gate, shook her head helplessly when she heard Nien's words, and got back on the road again, just scolding in a low voice in her mouth:

"Silly beep-"

The main street that runs through the city is very spacious, and because the sun makes the earth very hot, there are hardly any people on the streets, and there are no cars on the main road, which is supposed to be the most crowded wildebeest in the city.

A large number of buildings on both sides have been destroyed and blackened stones have fallen to the ground, reminiscent of the horrific scenes of the time.

After finally finding a restaurant that survived and was open for business, and after ordering a macaroni and a bowl of broth, Irina stopped a waiter who had just passed by.

Irina passed a few silver coins from her hand: "Hello, may I ask you for some news?" ”

"Of course, beautiful young lady!" The waiter who was stopped was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Irina's beautiful face and the silver coin in her hand, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The waiter accepted the silver coin, and then asked enthusiastically, "I wonder what you want to know?" ”

"I've heard that demons and dragons have appeared in Liero City, are these true?"

"Of course! These are certainly true! This is really a great event that has not been encountered in a thousand years! The waiter enthusiastically began to recount the events of that day, "I tell you, I was ...... at the time."

Because the waiter was a first-hand experiencer, and he was able to speak, this incident was described by him vividly and thrillingly.

"Wait," the waiter said halfway through as Irina interrupted him from oratory mode and asked, "According to you, the demon just cut off the magic towers, and then the dragon came out of the earth, right?" ”

"Yes, although I didn't see it at the time, the big hole drilled by the dragon at Nibury Plaza in Uptown is still there, and this can't be faked!"

"And then the dragon came out and started wreaking havoc, and the demon was nowhere to be found, right?"

"That's right! Right! Ay...... When I think about it, I don't know where the demon has gone, which is really worrying! ”

"So, what about the dragon? Did it wreak havoc and leave? ”

"Of course not!" As soon as he mentioned the dragon, the waiter suddenly became excited, "The dragon was really terrible at that time! I thought I'd really die here! But ......"

The waiter paused deliberately, and then said loudly: "At such a critical moment, a mysterious strong man suddenly appeared, not only blocking the magic thrown by the dragon, but also grabbing the dragon with one hand......"

The waiter gave another colorful description, roughly showing the scene in front of Irina's eyes.

"The mysterious powerhouse, St. Pharos?" Irina fell into deep thought.

"That, beautiful young lady." The waiter smiled at the sight of Elena, "Do you want to know about Mr. St. Flos?" ”

"You know?" Irina asked with an eyebrow jumping.

The waiter immediately looked a little embarrassed and stopped talking.

Irina understood immediately, and there was no overreaction, just kindly took out a few more silver coins from her purse.

The waiter was just about to accept the silver coin, when a voice behind Irina said loudly: "Little Jim, this is a trivial little news, you are embarrassed to ask this beautiful young lady to collect money?" ”

Irina looked back and saw a bald man walking towards the two of them, and he pushed away Jim, who had greeted him flatteringly, and swaggered across from the girl, and said, "This beautiful young lady, don't listen to this boy's nonsense, I can sue you for the news of Lord St. Flos." ”

"Say." Irina's response was succinct and to the point.

"Haha, Miss is really ...... directly" The strong man gave a thumbs up, and then looked around, "Miss, look, isn't it inconvenient here?" Or we'll find a suitable place now......"

"Okay!" Irina said with a smile.

Irina ignored the weapons that had been put aside, got up and left the restaurant with the strong man.

Jim looked at the departing girl and hesitated to stop her, but finally gave up.

……

In the gloomy alley, Irina's mocking voice sounded:

"Not so soon? I thought you could last a little longer, you're not a man! ”

"Don't don't, don't come again, I really ......"

"Oh? Do you really not want to do it again? I was so happy just now! ”

"No, no, no! Auntie...... Really don't come back again......"

Irina stepped on the strong man's head, so that his head was pressed against the earth, unable to move. patted his hands, smiled at the strong man and said, "Then say!" If I'm not satisfied with your answer, I don't mind punching you again! ”

"Don't! I say! I say! The strong man cried out with a sad face.

I thought it was a pink journey, but I didn't expect it to be a black torment. As soon as the strong man showed his true face, he was punched and kicked by Irina, and the strong man's nose and face were swollen, and he couldn't stand begging for mercy and continued to beat him. Beat the strong man crying and shouting for the news of the mysterious strong man of the girl, only begging this aunt to leave quickly.

"I don't know about Lord St. Flos, but I know someone who is related to Lord St. Pharos, her name is Lia Elialos, she is the eldest lady of the Elialos family, and is called 'wandless magician' by the nobles of Lero City, but recently she suddenly broke through to become an official first-order magician and was admitted to the Academy of St. Pharos as a cadet of the academy, if you want to know the news of Lord St. Phalos, please find her!"

The strong man finished all the information without stopping in one breath, without sentence breaks or punctuation!

"Lea Elialos?"

Irina whispered as she touched her chin as she raised her foot and kicked between the strong man's legs.

……

"Ahh

The alleys erupted with earth-shattering screams.
