Chapter 16: The Saint Elena

"Thank you! Brave knight, my name is Elena Kaguya. The well-dressed blonde beauty, who had escaped from the clutches of the bandits, bowed respectfully and thanked Xiao Yan.

"Could it be that you are a saint?" Xiao Yan asked casually based on his own conjecture.

"Well......" Elena's face was red to the root of her ears, and if the previous scene was spread, the consequences would be unimaginable, "I am the holy daughter of the Holy Light Church. ”

"Holy Lady of the Church of the Light, Elena Kaguya (Holy Maiden). Race: Human. Strength:?? Agile?? Physical:?? Perceive:?? Intellect:?? Spirit:?? Charm:?? ”

It may be that the saint is under some kind of protection, and Xiao Yan can't check Elena's attributes at all. But it shouldn't be too strong, otherwise it won't be ......

Considering Elena's identity, Xiao Yan decided to return to the county as soon as possible.

Along the way, Xiao Yan listened to Elena's narration while thinking about all kinds of saintess books......

Elena, the Lady of the Church of Light, has powerful blessing abilities and is able to lock on the morale of allies within 200 yards of her, acting like a moving banner on the battlefield. Whenever a large-scale war strikes, the Church of Light will send saints to bless the front-line soldiers at the king's request.

Escorted by three Templars, Elena arrived in Odessa, where she heard of dead people waking up from cemeteries in northern towns to eat the flesh of the living. As the saint of the Church and the spokesperson of the Holy Light on earth, Elena rushed to the north without hesitation.

The Templars who guarded her were also full of chivalry, and instead of stopping her, they pursued them all the way, and finally crossed the castle of the Side, and were surrounded by a gang of bandits in the Ashenvale Mountains. Two Templars were killed on the spot, and the remaining captain of the guard was captured along with Elena, and then the scene that Xiao Yan saw happened.

"The captured knight? Where is he? Xiao Yan listened to the narration and asked suspiciously.

"According to the captive, he preferred to die after being captured, then set himself on fire and burned to death three bandits who interrogated him." The soldiers on the side had already interrogated the bandits, and replied quickly.

Xiao Yan led Elena to a charred ruin, and the shapes of the four corpses could be faintly discerned from the ashes.

Elena knelt down to pray for the souls of the fallen Templars, wishing him to return to the embrace of the Light. Xiao Yan looked at the corpse for a while, and had no choice but to walk away.

The evidence was burned clean by a fire.

What is the strength of the Templars who protect Elena, the treasure of the Church of Light? Is it possible to be wiped out by a gang of bandits? And they were not only weak but also very stupid, stupid enough to rush through the side stops, without other guards. How stupid it is to do it.

But Xiao Yan didn't think the Templars were that stupid. If it's not stupid, it must be bad.

There must be something wrong with the captured captain of the guard, and it is likely that he brought Elena's team into an ambush circle and deliberately ambushed him. But for what purpose?

Xiao Yan, who couldn't find the answer for the time being, returned to Lamor Castle with a large amount of harvest after the soldiers cleaned up the bandit camp, preparing to settle Elena and capture it before making arrangements.

In the distance, the walls of Lamor Castle could already be seen, and a team of fierce knights galloped across the sturdy war horses, and Xiao Yan could feel a murderous aura from afar.

Sergeant Erwin hurriedly stopped the group, and the soldiers took up arms and stood on guard.

"It's the Knight of Judgment!" The blonde-haired saintess beside Xiao Yan suddenly cheered happily, "They are the elite trial knights of the church, they must have come to me." I've never seen so many Knights of Judgment. ”

A group of 12 Knights of Judgment, dressed in heavy armor and wearing swords blessed by the Holy Light at their waists, rushed towards this direction with the banner of the Church held aloft. With only 12 people and 12 horses, it feels as if they are facing the impact of thousands of horses. Xiao Yan felt a huge sense of oppression, and the veterans around him held their spears and shields tightly, and their arms trembled a little.

As one's own people, they have such a great deterrent power.

The Judgment Knight stopped at 5 steps before the formation, and Xiao Yan heard a soft exhalation sound beside him, obviously relieved.

"Presiding Inquisitor of the Templar Order, Berrien Tebilias (Chief). Race: Human. Strength:?? , Dexterity 35, Stamina: ?? Perceive:?? , Intelligence: 30, Spirit: 35, Charisma: ?? ”

is such a big stroke, and the shot is a leader-level figure with a screen full of question marks. Xiao Yan estimated that the main attributes of this Judge Taibilias had reached the upper limit of 50 attributes in this world.

The knights of judgment behind him are all powerful, and with such strength, will the saint be caught by the thieves and go out of the book? Xiao Yan smiled slightly, and the huge pressure brought by the presiding judge was suddenly dissolved.

It seems that there is a deep meaning behind this matter.

"Captain of the Earl of Lamour's guard, Knight Griffith Blanton?" Tiberias looked at Xiao Yan proudly

"It's down, but not yet knighted."

"Well, I'm Berrien Teberias, the inquisitor of the Knights Templar." A hint of contempt crossed the corner of the judge's mouth, "I have been ordered to come and escort the Holy Maiden back to the church. Elena-sama, please come with us. ”

"Wait!" Xiao Yan stepped out and stood between the presiding judge and the holy woman, "Your identity cannot be verified. This is the Count's domain, and Mistress Elena has just been out of danger, and as a Count, it is my duty to escort her to the ChΓ’teau de la Moor, where she is to be represented by the Count and properly placed by Mademoiselle Sonia de La Mor. ”

The Inquisitor of the Templar Order, Berrien Teberias, placed his finger on the hilt of his sword. This little captain of the guard dared to refuse himself. The presiding judge thought about whether to take the saint away directly and then slaughter Xiao Yan, or whether to slaughter Xiao Yan first and then take the saint away.

"Brave Lord Berrien, Lord Griffith...... The captain is my savior. I would like to express my gratitude to the lord of this area, Miss Lamour. ”

Elena is kind and simple in her heart, but she can also see that the next sentence of the two will be full of gunpowder, maybe they will have to fight on the spot, and hurriedly fight a round. Her gentle words dispelled the gloom that hung over the ranks on both sides like sunshine.

The presiding judge, Berrien Tebilias, directly ignored Xiao Yan's presence, nodded to Elena, returned to his horse, and led the knights to open the way in front.

Xiao Yan had already prepared ten countermeasures in his stomach, but he didn't expect this presiding judge to just forget it, and he was happy to take it easy, and took the team to step up his actions.

The group soon arrived at the castle of La Mor, and Sonya, who had already received the news, greeted them in person at the city gate.

"Your Excellency, Lord Judge, your presence has made the castle shine, and my father will be overjoyed when he hears it."

Elena endured all the hardships along the way, and it was very affectionate to see a beautiful girl of her own age. The presiding judge, with a straight face, accepted the kindness politely, and thanked the Countess with a smile on her face.

It must be a matter of charisma. Xiao Yan's single-digit charm was completely crushed by Sonya's first attribute.

Elena is still very kind to Xiao Yan, and when the two of them look at each other, she will shyly lower her head.

"You're amazing!" When Xiao Yan turned his gaze, Sonia walked over and glared at him, "The Holy Maiden is the pearl of the Holy Light Church, and in the eyes of the world, she is a symbol of purity and light. ”

"Hmph." Xiao Yan pouted, "Then they won't reward me with anything good." ”

"Just the way you stare at other people's saints drooling, it's strange that you will be rewarded." After Sonya finished speaking, she ignored Xiao Yan and turned around and left.

"When will I stare at people......" If there is a favorability prompt, Xiao Yan feels that his favorability with Sonia must have fallen like an avalanche.

That night, Sonia warmly entertained the knights of the judgment as a landlord.

The Knights of the Judgment were in high spirits at the hospitality of the long-sleeved and danceable Sonya, and near the end of the day, the Presiding Judge, Berrien Tyberias, came to Sonia with a small golden box.

"Dear Mademoiselle Countess, in gratitude for all that the Lamor family has done for Mistress Elena, please accept this badge as a testimony of the Church's friendship with the Lamor family."

"You have obtained an accessory: the Emblem of the Light Guardian. Blue. "Grade: Silver. Attributes: Stamina +2, Intelligence +2, Spirit +2, Charisma +2.

Equipment Effect 1: Forms a shield of holy light when attacked, defending against 100 attacks.

Equipment Effect 2: When equipping the Holy Light Guardian Emblem to communicate with the Holy Light Church, the reputation will be no less than respect by default, and the reputation increase rate will be increased by 10%. ”

As a piece of blue quality equipment, this accessory can be said to have quite high attributes.

At the same time that Sonia got this ornament, Xiao Yan and Sonia both received a prestige reminder from the Holy Light Church. Xiao Yan was promoted to friendliness, and Sonia was respectful.

On the one hand, Sonya's prestige has increased due to her high charisma, and she is naturally invincible when used to brush up her reputation; In addition, in the context of Romanian society, the retainers were not qualified to speak on an equal footing with a behemoth like the Church, and Xiao Yan's merits should rightfully be regarded as Sonya's.

Although Sonia was a little jealous of the appearance and figure of the saint, she was a generous and kind girl by nature, and after getting the task reward, she immediately transferred it to Xiao Yan through the space to improve the team's front-line combat effectiveness.

Xiao Yan smiled and returned the emblem. The task of rescuing the Holy Maiden can be said to be no difficulty, and rewarding a blue suit is a bit too much, and it is likely that the space will give preferential treatment to the chosen one in such a special mission.

Moreover, this mission has just begun, and there are still many days to deal with the Holy Maiden and the Holy Light Church in the future, and the core value of this Holy Light Guardian Emblem is still the speed of prestige increase.

For the Holy Light Church, which can take out the blue outfit as an entry reward, Xiao Yan feels that it is simply unreasonable not to take away a silver plot equipment when he leaves this world.
