"This time I really came with sincerity, and I hope you can also show sincerity and take it seriously. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The woman in black stood quietly not far behind the Sword of Benevolence, completely blending in with the surrounding darkness and night, as if it was an illusion that would disappear at any moment.

"Oh, sincerity? Very good. The warrior of love and justice recognizes sincerity the most. The Sword of Benevolence was still the same, looking at the crystal scepter in his hand, and said without looking back. "Then let's simplify the process of determining sincerity, you don't need to sing and dance or anything, you can pick out all your boogers and eat them, and I will recognize your sincerity. It's a very easy thing to do. As far as I know, there was a famous field commander who was very fond of doing this, and declared it an all-natural ingredient that could relieve anxiety and temporarily increase IQ......"

"It's real sincerity. "The woman wasn't taken crooked. She seemed to be getting used to the conversation with the Sword of Benevolence, and still spoke at her own pace, quite meaningfully and confidently. "Maybe you don't realize it now, but soon you will know. Probably tomorrow. ”

"Oh, that's good. Finally, it smells of a calculating, deep conspiracy, and a huge underground organization. At least I'm a little curious. The Sword of Benevolence's eyes flashed, but he still didn't look back, but he had a strange smile on his face.

"First of all, this upcoming change is not a ghost on us. In fact, we were also surprised by the changes that had just taken place. The woman's voice in the darkness was a little playful, and the eyes cast on the sword of benevolence were also inexplicable. "And I can tell you that if the news gets back to our headquarters in time and falls into the ears of the decision-makers, it is a difficult question to say whether we need to continue to woo you for cooperation. A powerful warrior who can be used with ill intentions, no matter how powerful, is just a warrior. Strategically, it's not a very important pawn. ”

"That's because you're too short-sighted. A warrior who carries out truth and justice, even if he pulls out the hair of an armpit, is greater and more meaningful than those muscle sticks all over the world who only know how to fight and slash. ”

"In other words, it is only my own personal decision to insist on trying to contact you. Although I am generally only responsible for execution, if I insist on making my own impromptu judgment, the guy above will not refuse. ”

"Oh, are you saying that you are not a pawn, are you? Or is it implying that you have a vision that is extraordinary enough to perceive my greatness?"

"I'm just curious to see what you're hiding behind that disguise. ”

"Hehe, a word of advice for you, don't look up at something you can't understand, the excessive light will blind your eyes. ”

"Come, answer my question seriously. Strangers, or rather, souls of strangers. The woman's voice in the darkness condensed, biting the last few words very hard. "You really don't need to work with anyone else?"

"Of course not. The Sword of Benevolence's answer was surprisingly easy and affirmative. "We have a saying there that the sea is vast because it does not reject any river. While what I really want can only be obtained on my own, it's not a bad thing to work with other people on a regular basis. ”

"Good. The woman seemed satisfied, and her voice and figure gradually dissolved completely in the night. "Keep that elemental hedron safe, maybe it will be useful......"

There was complete silence again, as if nothing had happened. The Sword of Benevolence was still facing the campfire, playing with the elemental spar stick in his hand, but his eyes were no longer focused on it, but at the light flame in the depths of the fire, his brow slightly furrowed thoughtfully.

The next day.

As soon as the morning dawned, the nobles' private soldiers and the soldiers of the envoy corps completed the complete elimination of the ogre's lair with great speed. The goblins, who were vassal slaves, ran away in fright almost as soon as the trolls were killed, and the soldiers waited all night for the timid little monsters to disperse, in fact, to search for the legacy of possible victims in the lair. After retrieving some half-worn equipment, as well as some gold and silver, a fire completely burned down the filthy caves and treehouses.

But just as they were about to retreat, they saw a group of people in front of their group. There weren't many people in the group, only a dozen or so. At the head were two old men in extraordinary sumptuous clothes, and behind them were some temple warriors and priests. The neat and delicate robes of this group looked out of place with the mosquito-infested swamp.

The nobles' private soldiers were stunned and did not dare to move, and many of them immediately bent down and bowed, for they all knew the two old men who took the lead, the High Priest of Morning who was the Guardian Hand and the High Priest of Sundell of the Temple of Daylight.

"None of the people and others should all step back and go back. We have come to His Excellency the Sword of Mercy. ”

High Priest Morning waved his hand and said no more, and all the noble private soldiers immediately obediently detoured from both sides. There was not even the slightest hesitation on the part of those who took the lead, and for the soldiers and warriors of the West Coast, the words of the High Priestess of the Guardian Hand were more authoritative than absolutely any superior, employer, master.

Brown, the other priest of the Guardian Hand, said to Mu Qinyi and a few other members of the envoy corps, "That Lady Mu, please leave first." We'll explain that to the head of the legation and Mr. Wind. ”

Mu Qinyi didn't speak, and turned his head to look at the Sword of Benevolence at the back of the team. She didn't like this guy who didn't seem to have a normal brain, but she couldn't just turn around and leave.

The expression of the Sword of Benevolence is strange. In fact, he has behaved a little abnormally from the beginning today, and has been hanging in the team and watching coldly, silently as if thoughtful, but fortunately, the team does not need him to command. And it wasn't until he saw the two high priests with people stopping in front that he looked a little stunned, and then there was a strange expression on his face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Ah, Honorable High Priest of Sandel, Honorable High Priest of Morin, Priest Brown. It's a great honor to see you here......" The Zhang family, who was the soldier leading the envoy, immediately greeted him at this time, with a smile on his face, as if he had the enthusiasm to dispel all the fighting. "Why talk about anything in this wilderness, why don't we go back to the city together." After returning to the city, it is convenient for everything, and the commanders of the envoys can also participate, and by the way, we can talk about the details of the donation, our family master decided to donate 50,000 gold coins to the damaged Temple of the Guardian Hand last time......"

"Thank you very much for your generosity, the Guardian Hand will remember. In the future, we will definitely give priority to all applications from your Zhang family. Priest Brown's smile was also very warm, and his answer was very firm. "But today I still need to ask you to stay away for a moment, we have very important matters to communicate with His Excellency the Sword of Benevolence. It's a very important matter, so please leave for a while. ”

"Brother Bian Yue, don't talk nonsense with them. Let's go with these people first. The Sword of Benevolence said suddenly behind him. "Also, remember to tell your old man that you don't have too much gold for these temples. Just let them remember. Their old-fashioned and standard rules can't be smashed with no amount of gold coins. ”

The middle-aged man of the Zhang family who led the team only hesitated for a short second or two, and immediately turned around and gave an order to the soldiers of the envoy group, and followed him past the temple and everyone towards the way they came. Although the soldiers of the envoy could feel that the atmosphere was wrong, they could not understand the conversation of these Euros, and could only follow the leader of the group.

"Aren't you leaving?" the Sword of Benevolence asked Mu Qinyi. At this time, it seems that only this fellow Shenzhou can share weal and woe with him.

Mu Qinyi looked left and right, as if he felt the atmosphere in the stalemate, but still raised his hand and stepped back: "I'll take a look at the head office from a distance." ”

Soon, on this makeshift swamp path, only the Sword of Mercy and the people of the temple led by the two high priests remained.

High Priest Sandel of the Sun Temple spoke first, "Please don't be nervous, Your Excellency the Sword of Benevolence. We did not come with hostility. We just have a few things we want to confirm with you. ”

"Of course, I can see that you are not hostile, at most cautious. The Sword of Benevolence smiled, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

"Amanta, under your light, no evil can be hidden. High Priest Sandel waved his hand, and the sunlight shining in the sky seemed to dazzle for a moment, and then a white light flashed above the Sword of Benevolence's head.

"It's still the same reaction as in the Temple of the Sun, devoid of the darkness and the violent desire to kill. Previously, it seemed that this was a manifestation of feeling the grace of God and turning back to the wrong, but according to the message delivered by the messenger, it is also very likely that it is also an extremely powerful and cunning devil who can even deceive our lord Amanta. High Priest Sandel was expressionless, and said lightly to High Priest Morin next to him.

High Priest Mo Ning replied lightly: "Then, the only way to do this is to send it to the Forest of Stars and let the Elves' Holy Spirit Tree identify it." It was the manifestation of the source of life in this world, and there was no breath of the lower realms that could hide it. ”

A strange smile appeared on the face of the Sword of Benevolence, as if it was a little angry, as if it was a little funny, and a little hideous, and glanced at the group of people who stopped in front of him: "Don't you explain it to me? I believe that the two high priests led so many people to stop me, but they didn't do it for themselves. ”

The two high priests did not answer, they did not seem to be nervous and guarded, but they had always maintained a spiritual connection with their gods, and they could activate their divine magic at any time. The temple warriors behind them were already sabre-rattling, and these warriors didn't necessarily know the reason behind this operation, but they were very clear about the strength of this former cult high priest.

"Yes, Your Excellency Sword of Mercy. Priest Brown spoke, still in a very polite tone. "We have received a very important piece of news that we need your cooperation to investigate. ”

"Oh, what the hell is the news, how do you need me to cooperate, can you elaborate?"

Priest Brown looked at the two high priests next to him, but did not speak. It was a moment before High Priest Morning spoke: "The Moonlight and Starry Forest has sent a messenger to inform us that at the previous failed rite of enlightenment, the Source of Life sensed that an evil spirit had descended on this world. It is very likely to cause great harm to this world. In our judgment, it is most likely that this evil will will be attached to you, the Sword of Charity. That's why we're here today. ”

The Sword of Benevolence shook his head with a smile: "Just because a messenger who doesn't know what brought a message from a hundred and eight thousand miles away, you are sure that I am an evil spirit, isn't this a little too hasty?"

"The Forest of Moonlight and Stars is the sacred land of the elves, and their Spirit Tree is the manifestation of the will of the source of life across the continent. Theologically, all secondary gods are born from the Source of Life, and it is one of the most revered gods in this world. Your Excellency has seen the light of that great god before, and it is from his interference that you have not irretrievably fallen into the wrong path of the cult god. After interrupting the god-becoming ceremony, she temporarily depleted the power of the Spirit Tree and the Elven High Priestess. However, in the end, she left her oracle. ”

"Ahh It's the elven woman. The Sword of Benevolence nodded, thought for a moment, and then spoke. "Could it be that she was mistaken?"

"The gods can't go wrong. They are the root of this world, the essence of this world, and the meaning of their existence is eternal. Just as the sun in the sky will not go out, the waters of the ocean will not dry up. Their wills are all derived from the reality of this world, how can they be wrong?"

"Okay, so is it possible that the elven priests misunderstood? Or is it just the elf who sent the message talking nonsense? After all, it was just a message from an alien race tens of thousands of miles away, and it was a bit childish for you to treat your friends who had been getting along so much fanfare. ”

"In the past few hundred years, there had been only a few reports of invasions from the lower realms from the elves, but each time it proved to be accurate after the fact. The messengers of the elves carry a token that cannot be faked and cannot be touched by anyone other than the true messenger, and their faith is a part of their life, and there is no doubt about their purity. Even during the Imperial Age, when their people were captured and enslaved by the Arcanists and reduced to playthings, they never forged the metaphor of the source of life to seek help from temples and churches. So we don't have any reason to doubt them now. ”

The Sword of Benevolence smiled: "Hehe, in other words, it seems that there is no room for any turnaround, and the elven woman who doesn't know where is has already convicted me." ”

High Priest Xander spoke slowly, "No. The elven priest also said that it was only a very possibility, and he was not sure. Mr. Wind once vouched for you. He is an honored guest of our Nikko Temple, and you have shown enough kindness in the past, Your Excellency the Sword of Benevolence, so we will definitely take this matter seriously. We are here today in the hope that His Excellency the Sword of Benevolence will remain in the sight of me and High Priest Morin from now on, and join us in escorting the fragments of the Floating City to the Scorching Fortress, and then diverting to the Moonlight and Starry Forest to be investigated by the Source of Life. Of course, a certain amount of restraint is necessary in this process, and we will try to ensure that it does not hurt you permanently. That's the greatest sincerity we can show right now. ”

"Okay. It's really gratifying to see this self-righteous sincerity again. The clergy are really easy to get along with, but also difficult to get along with. The Sword of Benevolence shook its head meaningfully and sighed. When he looked at the two high priests again, the divine light in his eyes shone. "But what if I say no to your sincerity?"

"It has to be. High Priest Morin's answer was brief, and his voice was kind, but his attitude was unquestionable.

This short break also gave a hint to the already stalemate between the two sides, and everyone stopped talking. In its place are some more obvious and dangerous changes.

It was a sunny day, but the sun in the sky seemed to be getting brighter and brighter, and the temperature around it had risen a lot. If you look at it from a distance, you can see that the environment has begun to distort slightly in the scorching air.

High Priest Morning took out a shield from his back and held the pestle in front of him with both hands. It was just an old and broken oak shield, but as the High Priest of Morning was on the ground, a heavy aura suddenly rose and permeated everyone around him.

The Sword of Benevolence didn't seem to move, but a faint, far-reaching strange sound gradually sounded and spread on him. It was like the sound of many huge rocks, tough vines slowly twisting together, and it was like an invisible giant was tensing his muscles and condensing his blood, about to smash everything in his way with unparalleled strength.

Boom, a sudden loud muffled sound rang out dozens of miles away, and the soldiers who had already gone far couldn't help but look back, only to see the air waves rolling up and flying up the dirt on the ground and rising into the sky.
