Chapter 5 The Temple
The three of them walked through the antechamber, which was a long hallway, lined with separate rooms, and through some open doors, some staff in white clothes could be seen in the room. However www.biquge.info Hernan did not mean to stop, and led the two to the end of the corridor, and then stepped up the spiraling staircase, through the second floor, and straight to the third floor.
"Here we are, here it is. HernΓ‘n stopped at the door directly in front of the stairs and politely slammed the door. Thick wooden doors were randomly opened. In front of me was a huge library, countless books were neatly placed on the towering shelves, some white-clad staff were busy shuttling between them, and many documents were scattered on the ground.
"Sorry, it might be a bit messy. He said as he led the two men cautiously through the busy staff. When you go to the desk in the deepest part of the stack, you can see that the tall papers and books almost fill the entire table, making it impossible to see behind the desk.
"Bishop Fatila, I've brought someone with me. Hernan shouted to the back of the desk.
"Your Highness, you're here! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please wait a moment. An old man's voice came from the back of the book. After a while, an old man in a white robe and a ruby hat came out from behind his desk.
"It's a bit of a mess here, please come with me to the conference room at the back. The old man looked at Haruka and Iskar with his spare eyes, and randomly led the group into the side room.
"This is the Templar's Bishop in the Imperial Branch of Albania, Mr. Fatilla. Hernan introduced.
"Hello. β
"This is Miss Haruka, the female knight who defeated the demons in Wells before, and her servants. β
"It turns out that you are the female knight who defeated the demon clan alone in Wells, and was seriously injured by the second prince Zorn in the imperial capital! β
"Uh... It turns out that my reputation is already known to everyone. Haruka said with a wry smile.
"Then let's get down to business!" HernΓ‘n motioned for the two to take their seats.
Then I'll get straight to the point. Fatila opened the notepad she was carrying, "Have you reported to Your Majesty that a demon clan has broken through the shackles of the ancient lendan wall and can travel to and from the human world without being sealed?" β
"Well... It is, but His Majesty doesn't seem to believe it. Haruka said with a wry smile.
"In fact, after that, the temple also sent people to reconnoiter on the spot, except for some residual demon breath, and an unrecognizable magic array that had been mostly destroyed, no useful information was obtained. Fatila flipped through the first few pages of the notebook, which contained some relevant information.
"So Miss Haruka, can you tell us more about the battle at that time?"
"The situation at that time was that a demon was hoarding a large amount of blood bluestone, and then launched a magic array to lift the seal. Haruka explained in the most concise of words.
"According to the answers of the adventurers who were at the scene before, there were indeed witnesses of a huge slime collecting a large amount of blood lapis lazurite, but this could not prove anything. If you can, can you draw the composition of that magic array in detail? β
"Uh... At that time, I was just thinking about how to survive... After all, the enemy is too strong... So I didn't pay attention to the composition of the magic array, and this pattern is complex enough, even if I look at it ten times, I can't remember. β
"So did you defeat the demons by destroying the magic array at that time?"
"Yes. β
"Let me ask one last question, then. Fatila shifted her gaze from her notebook to Haruka's body. "Did any eyewitnesses say that you were wearing black armor and fighting like the legendary Black Sword Lady?"
"How could it be... I just happened to be wearing a black armor, how can I compare to the heroes of the legends. β
"That's right, that's what I'm talking about, after all, the Black Sword Ji has long been a legend, and it can't appear again now, but speaking of which, the Black Sword Ji is also very related to the Temple, so Miss Haruka is interested in serving the Temple?"
"I'm sorry, but I have my own plans for the time being. β
"That's a shame, but if you were a good player to join the Templar Order, it would be a great addition to us. Fatila silently closed the notepad.
"I'm sorry. β
"Don't worry about it, then basically I know the situation, and I will report what you said to the headquarters. β
"Well, I'm sorry for you. β
"This is what I should do, it is the duty of our temple to protect humanity and expel demons. β
"Then we won't delay you, Bishop, and I'll take them back first. Hernan said.
After watching the group leave the temple, a warrior in silver armor slowly walked behind Fatilla.
"Lord Bishop, according to the information provided by the Joker, this girl named Haruka is indeed wearing the eight-limbed serpent armor left by the Black Sword Hime. β
"Clown... The veracity of the information provided by the unknown creature is up for debate, but you Templars should keep an eye on her, and it's best to be sure she's wearing the real thing. β
"There's also very important news about ... The knight whispered in Fatilla's ear.
"What?!, is this serious?"
"There shouldn't be anything wrong with that. β
"I didn't expect it to be like this... Fatila looked meaningfully into the distance......
