Volume 13 Seals! A sigh from the Gate of the Abyss! Chapter 3 Conflict!
"Head, here they are. [Latest chapter reading.]"
At the corner of the alleyway stood several cloaked men, one of whom pointed in the direction of the church in front of him.
The leader rubbed his aching cheeks and said in a muffled voice: "Be careful when you do it, this is not another place, don't alarm the people of the church, this is their land." β
"Head, don't worry, we have the numbers. β
Several of them, with their cloaks puffed out, seemed to have some kind of weapon in their hands, and they looked around for a moment, then walked towards their target in front of them.
In front of the square, the boy held the little girl's hand, and he stared at it with wide eyes.
Although he had imagined the appearance of the center of the church in his mind before he came, when he stood in front of this huge and magnificent temple, he still felt a deep shock, the white rocks paved the neat and regular ground, the altar of light was surrounded by straight marble pillars, the towering buildings were golden crosses, and the priest in white robes walked through the square with a serious expression on his attachΓ©, and a strong solemn atmosphere suddenly overwhelmed him.
He couldn't help but glance down at the clothes on his body, not only were they full of dust, but they also emitted a foul smell, the two brothers and sisters walked all the way, in order to avoid the pursuit of that group of people, they didn't even dare to live in an ordinary inn, let alone clean and freshen up, he timidly glanced at those Templar swordsmen standing with spears, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, this look, will they let them in?
Blankly looking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw that many pilgrims in sackcloth robes and hoods had passed through the square, and these people were also covered with dust, and they looked not much different from themselves, except that they both men and women, they all held a cross tightly in their hands, revealing a reverent appearance.
The boy thought for a moment and let the little girl stay where she was. Then he took out all the dry bread he had on him, and ran to a woman who looked easy-going and had a few words, when he seemed to see something again, and turned and ran in one direction.
After a while, the boy ran back to the curious gaze of the little girl, and not only did he get back a bronze cross. And also took a delicate clay puppet, the little girl immediately cheered, hugged the little puppet in her arms, looking at her bright and flawless smile, the young man's face was also full of smiles.
Suddenly, there was a shouting from the crowd. It seems that someone was knocked down. The boy casually glanced up. But suddenly his eyes widened in horror. It's not far away. The few people in black cloaks who had seen them in the Mage Tower had reappeared!
These people also seem to find themselves being noticed. It's speeding up its pace here.
The boy crouched down. Hang the cross around the little girl's neck. And then in the ears of the latter. "Miranda." Do you see the people dressed in white? My brother told you to run first. But I can still get there before you. If you don't believe me, then give it a try. But don't look back. I'm starting to count. 1.2......"
The little girl pouted. Shining eyes full of excitement and curiosity. Before he could finish counting, he ran out.
The boy looked at the little girl's back. He inhaled nervously. Then he drew his sword from his waist and slashed thinly. He took the initiative to meet those people. Looking at those few people, it seemed that there was a posture of separate pursuit. I couldn't help but feel anxious. A passer-by shoved behind his back. The man rushed out unprepared. It happened to crash into a man in black. Then he was violently pushed away. Collided with several pedestrians. Suddenly, people turned on their backs. A riot was set out in the crowd.
The boy turned and ran. Glanced back in a hurry. It was discovered that the little girl had run into a group of clergy lands. He was immediately relieved. Just lure the group out of the way yourself. Miranda is nothing to do for the time being. He didn't have time to look in the direction. Instinctively, he ran towards a street.
He had just run to the corner of the street. He only felt that he had been knocked out by a huge force, and then fell to the ground, he got up dizzily, but found that a black horse appeared in front of him, a pair of dynamic and graceful long legs were put in the riding boots, and when he looked up, he was immediately a woman with a black brimmed hat, with a black veil on her face, the outline of the inner part was hazy, and a tight leather knight's suit on her upper body set off the curves of her very beautiful body, and her cold gaze was looking down. "Don't be nosy!"
The man in black who rushed over could see from the woman's outfit that this was not an ordinary person, so he lowered his voice and threatened him.
Originally, the woman didn't move, but after hearing this, her blue eyes flashed slightly, and she seemed to be a little displeased, she let out a cold snort, waved her horsewhip, and said to the young man: "Come up!"
Before the boy could react, the woman reached out and grabbed it, he only felt that his body was tight, and the whole person was dragged by the woman to the horse.
"Hold me. The woman let out a melodious voice that was very magnetic.
The young man came to his senses, and hurriedly hugged his extremely elastic and flexible waist, and his hands, which had never been in contact with the mature opposite sex, suddenly trembled, and the woman snorted coldly, and said, "Hold it tight!"
The young man hurriedly increased his strength, and faintly smelled a tempting perfume on the tip of his nose, and he couldn't help but feel a heat in his ears as he was in adolescence.
The woman waved her whip, the black horse raised her hooves, and then rushed out of the street at the speed of an arrow from a string, and ran towards the temple square, where several men in black roared angrily and followed.
The woman looked at her with playfulness and disdain, and her horsemanship seemed to be extremely skillful, and with a whistle and a flick of her whip, she made an extremely loud sound, and as soon as she turned around, the whole horse went around to the side, and began to circle around the square, and the action here immediately attracted the attention of the Templar swordsmen in front of the temple, and they all gathered here. As soon as the woman reined in the reins, the whole horse stopped at once under her control like the most honest child, and the contrast between movement and stillness was extremely strong.
The group of men in black was very fast, but as soon as they approached, their faces changed, because behind the woman, a column of horsemen in knight's armor caught up, and the emblem on the chest was a bouquet of black roses full of spikes, and they shouted, "The Lady Semerhir family guard is here." β
The man in black who rushed in front was stunned for a moment, and then cursed in a low voice. "Hell, it's Black Widow!"
"That very nosy woman?" At this time, the Templar swordsmen on both sides faintly surrounded the entire area, and the leader of the men in black saw that the situation was not good, and in the square of the Temple of Light, they did not dare to make a big deal no matter what. What's more, Black Widow is also notoriously difficult to provoke, so he immediately said, "Go!"
A middle-aged knight rode up to the woman's side and said with a solemn face: "Madam, their origin is not simple. β
The woman turned her head sideways and asked the young man, "Your martial arts skills are so poor, how can you provoke their ......" Before the young man could answer, she waved her horsewhip and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it." I'm not interested in hearing it either. β
As soon as the young man saw the woman's family name reported, the group of men in black immediately retreated in fright, and couldn't help but be a little in awe of her. But there was more envy in his heart, but at this moment his face turned red after hearing this sentence, although this sentence was true, but he felt that his self-esteem had been strongly hit, and a strong inferiority complex and indignation at the injustice of fate stirred in his chest.
The Templar swordsmen on the periphery had finally surrounded the area, and it seemed that they had heard of the woman's name, so they did not act hostilely, but just watched them vigilantly.
An indifferent and arrogant paladin captain stepped out and said in a cold voice, "Lady Semerhill." This is not a mage's meeting, please leave. β
The woman glanced at him and said lightly, "I'm here to ask to see the Bishop of Landiston." β
The captain of the paladin smiled coldly, raised his head upward, and sneered: "Lady Semerhill, in your capacity, is Bishop of Landiston what you want to see?"
The woman frowned, she was silent for a while, and then pulled the reins of the horse and said, "Let's go." β
The boy vaguely heard the name. This seems to be the person he is looking for? With the woman's slightly disappointed and depressed expression, a strong impulse surged to his chest, and for a moment he didn't think about what the title of "bishop" meant later, and suddenly said, "Wait, I can meet Bishop Landiston." β
"You?" the woman gave him a suspicious look.
The middle-aged knight next to him sneered and said, "Boy, who do you think you are, Pope?"
Originally, the young man regretted saying this, but when he saw the look of disdain and disdain on the middle-aged knight's face, his mind suddenly became hot. He puffed up his chest and said loudly, "Of course I have a way. β
He jumped off his horse. In front of the paladin captain, he walked up to the captain of the paladin, and his hands and feet were actually trembling. But the thought that the woman was looking at her behind her made her feel strong emotion, and she stretched out her hand and escaped the sheepskin with her name written on it in her bosom, and handed it out without looking.
The paladin's cold gaze looked over, and he swam around the young man a few times, and then took the parchment roll and took it to his eyes, his heart was first shocked, and then frowned, he glanced at the young man again, and then looked at Madame Mei, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You wait." β
He hurried into the temple.
The woman's curious gaze fell on the young man, and she wondered slightly, did this young man really know Bishop Landison?
The boy knew that the woman was looking at him, his body trembled slightly, and he stood there stiffly, holding back and not turning around.
There was a strange dullness and silence in the field.
After a while, the sound of neat steel boots and armor clashing came from the temple, and then a group of imposing paladins rushed out.
The young man's face turned pale, and his hands and feet were suddenly cold, could it be, could it be......
The woman's eyes suddenly showed disappointment, and the middle-aged knight silently put his hand on the hilt of the sword.
A handsome paladin walked up to the young man, he looked the latter up and down, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said, "I, the paladin Alfred, you are the one who handed over the letter?"
The young man was apprehensive, so he pretended to be calm and gritted his teeth and said, "I am." β
The paladin nodded, a smile slowly appearing on his face, and nodded, "Yes, Lord Bishop, please come in." β
