Charles felt a little uneasy, probably because Sophie wasn't around. Sophie has been his bodyguard since he was very young, and he is inseparable, and the Knights of Light are not far from him.

Sophie was gone, and it seemed that even the temple that she was familiar with had become much empty.

Charles always had the illusion that there were always eyes in the shadows behind him.

He laughed at himself, this is the temple, the place where the light energy is most abundant, how can there be a shadow? The temple that symbolizes the light, there is a rich light energy floating everywhere, they emit a soft white light, illuminating every corner of the temple as bright as day.

Eternal light.

Maybe Sophie wasn't used to being around, Charles laughed to himself.

Thinking of the current situation, Charles's brow furrowed. In the past, he had dealt with the famous families and felt that they were subservient to the temple. But this time, his concept was completely subverted, and he understood why so many elders wanted to suppress the famous family.

The usual famous family is like a beast with its minions folded, and it looks docile. But a beast is a beast, and no matter how well it is camouflaged, once it reaches a critical moment, its ferocity will be revealed.

The Qiu family, Charles muttered, revealing a thoughtful look.

The conflict between the Qiu family and the Maysfield family, in Charles's opinion, is the Qiu family's actions, what signal do they want to send to the outside in this way?

The conflict between Mesfield and Elizabeth was a conflict between two famous families of the same rank, and the Qiu family had no reason to intervene personally, even if Elizabeth was their vassal. Charles is well aware of the habits of these top families, and if a famous family with a higher level than Elizabeth deals with Elizabeth, the Qiu family will definitely do it. But if Elizabeth is defeated by a family of the same level and weaker than Elizabeth, the Qiu family will definitely not make a move.

Because the Qiu family will feel ashamed.

His own vassals, even the opponents of the same level, can't be defeated, so what qualifications do they have to be vassals of the Qiu family?

The outside world is rumored to be provocative by the Maysfield family, and Charles scoffs at this statement, which is completely untenable. The strength of the Mesfield family is there, and it can't pose any threat to the Qiu family at all, so can Qiu Beifeng take the personal guards to find face?

The Qiu family wanted to establish authority, not to other families, but to the temple.

Charles was disgusted by the Qiu family's behavior, and if the Qiu family was wronged, he would feel much better if he showed the strength of the Qiu family in this way. For such a top family, the temple is willing to cooperate with it. However, when the Qiu family arrived in the Holy Continent, they did not come to the Temple of Light to visit the Great Elder, did not come to visit him, did not say any greetings to the Temple, but came to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.

Charles was angry in his heart, and the Qiu family didn't pay attention to the temple at all. And now it is Charles who is in charge of this matter, and the Qiu family also has no intention of giving him face.

He sent Sophie over to watch Qiu's house. If the Qiu family really dared to disobey the orders of the temple, he would also make an example of killing chickens and monkeys.

There are so many famous families, if they don't kill one or two chickens, no one will obey the order.

Charles knew that this was a test given to him by the Great Elder. If he can dominate and control the current situation, his position will be unassailable. If he can't, then he's in danger.

Charles, who sensed the danger, knew that he had to fight with his back.

The Knights of Light led by Sophie are no match for any family.

One of the guards walked up the stairs and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the Great Elder, please come over." ”

Charles recognized the guard and nodded, "I'll go over now." ”

Charles walked around the main hall, and the two knights of light who were guarding the door followed. Sophie took the Knights of Light away, but left ten Knights of Light to keep Charles safe. Although Charles felt completely unnecessary, he was still very moved.

The guards led the way, and Charles followed, casually asking, "Do you know what's going on?"

"It seems to be the Qiu family's business. The guard lowered his eyebrows and whispered.

Charles was thoughtful, could it be that the Great Elder also had thoughts about the Qiu Family? With such a strong personality, the Great Elder would definitely not be able to tolerate the Qiu Family. If it were the Great Elder, how would he deal with the suitor? The Great Elder was far-sighted, and perhaps had more far-reaching ideas.

Charles's mind was spinning fast, and when facing the Great Elder, anyone would be under pressure, and so would he. The only exception is probably Sophie.

The guards brought Charles to the door of a separate hall, stopped, and bowed: "Your Highness, please, the Great Elder is inside." ”

Charles cleaned up his distractions, and the branch hall in front of him was unpretentious and very quiet. The Great Elder always liked such a place, even if he was in a high position, the Great Elder was very simple, which was extremely admired by the whole temple.

"You are waiting for me here. Charles said to the two Knights of Light.

The two of them answered the order and stood outside the temple. Their status is noble, they can pass freely in the temple, and the only place where they dare not mess around is in front of the Great Elder.

Sophie is not afraid of the Great Elder, and that is because she and the Great Elder have a relationship like father and daughter. But the Great Elder didn't pretend to them at all, and they hadn't seen the Great Elder a few times in total. Moreover, the power brought by the Holy Flame around the Great Elder was too strong and terrifying.

The two of them honestly stayed outside, and if His Highness called them in, they would be a little nervous.

Suddenly, a faint but sharp fluctuation of ability came from the hall, and the faces of the two changed drastically, and they rushed inside without hesitation.

When the two broke into the hall, they happened to see His Royal Highness Charles fall to the ground.

His eyes widened, and there was a fist-sized hole in his throat, blood gushing out and running down his neck, and in a moment, a pool of blood was under him.

The two of them were struck by lightning, and only then did they react and assassinate! His Royal Highness Charles was assassinated!

Inside the Temple, His Royal Highness Charles was assassinated.

The faces of the two Knights of Light were as white as paper, which had never been seen before in the history of the Temple. The temple was so heavily guarded that outsiders couldn't sneak in.

Outsiders, no, this is orchestrated by the people inside the temple!

The two of them suddenly remembered the guard who led the way, and a knight of light appeared outside the hall in a flash, and when he saw the guard who had fallen to the ground and his head was already smashed, his face turned pale.

A terrible alarm sounded throughout the temple.

Snow City.

Sophie's face suddenly changed, clutching her chest, and the sharp pain like a knife made her tremble involuntarily.

"Your Highness......"

The body trembled like a sieve, the body arched as if it was suffering from astonishing pain, and the trembling voice squeezed out from between the teeth with great sadness and pain.

The surrounding knights of light were all stunned, they had never seen such pain and helplessness in the regimental commander.

A knight asked urgently, "Commander, what's wrong with Your Highness?"

Sophie slowly stood up straight, her body still trembling, but she still stood up straight, her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, her eyes were dark and deep, and her whole body exuded a terrifying aura.

"Charles is dead!"

Sophie was full of murderous aura, and at this time, she was like a god of death who came out of hell.

"Your Highness is dead?"

The Knights of Light shook their bodies and looked dazed, but they quickly turned into grief and indignation.

His Highness was assassinated!

Oh my God! How is this possible?

Who did this to you?

There is no answer to the question of who the real culprit is, but one thing is certain, it was definitely the people inside the temple who did it! This is the reason why they are at a loss, there has never been anything like this in the history of the temple, the temple has always been very united, there is no infighting.

And this is the pride of any knight of light, and it is where their faith lies.

However, at such a critical time, His Highness was assassinated. The impact on them was so great that even the Holy Son dared to assassinate them, these people ......

The faith in their hearts collapsed, and they became at a loss.

Did the temple become like this before you knew it?

They were selected from an early age, subjected to the most brutal and rigorous training, eliminated again and again, and gave everything they had for the temple, which was the teaching they received from childhood, and it was also their belief. In their hearts there was nothing but the temple.

And the temple convinced them that no matter where they were, the temple would always be respected, and the temple would be united in its inner circle, and victory after victory would prove the strength and justice of the temple.

In their hearts, the temple is the holiest place in the world.

Sophie, who stood upright, put her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist, her face was still pale, but her momentum was as sharp as an unsheathed sword. In his deep eyes, there was a sadness like the sea.

"It's the famous ones. ”

Her voice was cold: "I am familiar with the temple, I have the ability to lay it out, and I have such an accurate grasp of the time, except for those top famous families, no one can do it." ”

"Who is it?" said a Knight of Light's voice angrily.

"I don't know who it is. Sophie said coldly, but slowly pulled out the long sword at her waist: "But I know that the Qiu family must be inseparable." I was still wondering why the Autumn North Summit came to Snow City, and now I understand that their purpose is to transfer us away from His Highness. ”

The knights were excited.

"Kill them!"

"Famous families should be killed!"

"We won't let them go!"

Sophie, who drew her long sword, looked around, and her tone was as solemn as autumn: "There are traitors in the temple, colluding with famous families, and there should be peace inside and outside." If His Highness is dead, who will profit? Alternate Holy Son! The elders will definitely demand the election of a new Holy Son, and the temple cannot do without a Holy Son, let alone at such a critical moment. It's really a good time to choose, and now it's a matter of moving the whole body, these famous families have joined forces to force the temple to the palace, and for the sake of the overall situation, even the great elder has to bow his head.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and a hot-tempered knight said angrily, "Aren't they afraid of the collapse of the situation?"

They were afraid, but they knew better that this was the only chance the temple would bow its head. Sophie was as calm as ice and snow at this time: "Because we are more afraid, and the elders are more afraid." ”

Everyone was silent, shocked by the regimental commander's speculation.

Someone broke the silence: "So what do we do now?"

"Avenge Charles. A cold light flashed in Sophie's eyes: "Qiu Beifeng must die!"

"But we don't have proof. ”

Sophie walked out without looking back, dropping a sentence: "We don't need evidence." ”
