"Oh, Estelle, you worked so hard just now." Finally getting rid of Mura's "pursuit", Olivier no longer had the majestic appearance just now, and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your size!" Estelle complained, "What the hell is going on! Explain it to me! ”

"Don't be like this, her political IQ is basically zero." Helriga smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Actually, it's literal." ”

"That's right. Because there is a suspicious conspiracy going on within the Empire, this invasion is part of their plan. So it's up to me to come forward and kill their spirits. Olivier said mysteriously.

"So......" Estelle seemed to grasp something, "...... just acting?" ”

"That's right. Pretending to be serious first, and then the El Saiyu appears...... That's the script that Mr. Cassius and I came up with. Olivier said proudly.

"Well, that's what happened." Cassius also walked out of the Elseyu with a smile, "By the way, Heliga is our contact, and he has done almost all the detailed contact between us. ”

"That's right." Heiliga nodded, "Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, for example, Dr. Russell can't make the equipment to restore the ship's power in time...... Then this original plan is very embarrassing. ”

"Dad!" Estelle's dissatisfaction had reached its extreme - she looked at her hippie smiling father with resentful eyes, "Why do you have everything!" The guard plan of the royal capital, Colonel Richard's appearance was arranged by you! This time it's a conspiracy with Olivier again! In the end, it turned out to be your own daughter who didn't know anything! ”

"Oh, don't look at me with such horrible eyes. The two of them are also complicit. Cassius hurriedly sold his two teammates, "I heard what you said just now in the Channeling Communication...... Thanks to you, the El Saiyu can achieve such a good debut. ”

"What Mr. Cassius means is that it is your stupidity and the nature of your actions that you can not act in the brain that compare the superiority of his plans." How could Heliga, who had been sold by Cassius, be so resigned, decisively came up with an extreme interpretation full of malice, and then watched with satisfaction as Estelle turned her vicious gaze to him again.

"Wait, Guiding Communications?" The crowd watching the excitement on the sidelines discovered the blind spot, especially Olivier, who knew the most about Olivier, and looked thoughtful, "Could it be that Olivier, it's the ancient relic ...... again" Helazade referred to the fact that she had used an ancient relic on the deck of the spaceship to talk to someone, and Heliga seemed to be present at the time, so she couldn't ask directly. It was precisely because of that incident that she began to think that Olivier was actually a spy from the Empire.

"Shh!!h Upon hearing this, Olivier hurriedly stopped Shelazadeh from continuing, covering his mouth while looking around in a bit of panic, "Shela, don't talk about this, it would be bad if that person listened-"

"What are you hiding so far?" A smiling, somewhat flirtatious voice came, it was none other than Father Kevin, who had been missing for a while, "I only think about it now, it's too late." ”

"Father Kevin?" In addition to Kevin, Dr. Russell and Captain Yulia came along, "Everybody's here." ”

"It's fine if you're okay." Yulia's first concern was naturally her own princess.

"Gee, the detractor remodeling took me more time...... Fortunately, everyone is fine, and the El Saiyu is also functioning normally. "The Doctor brought the secret of why the Elseijo was able to ascend to heaven under such circumstances—the large zero-force field generator he had worked day and night to create.

As the companions got back together, after a short pleasantries, everyone began to talk about business.

Kevin brought another important piece of news - that he had received a contact from the Church headquarters, in which he was informed of a matter of the Ring of Radiance. It turns out that the floating city that suddenly appears in the air is not the body of the Ring of Radiance - but some kind of ancient relic hidden in the center of the city, and the gospel is actually a terminal for its operation.

The Ring of Radiance is equivalent to the manager of the huge system of the Floating City, and through its powerful power, all the power of the Seven Rays around it is used as the energy source for the operation of all equipment and services in the Floating City. The guiding force used by the Semria is itself of the same origin as this force, so it is only natural that it will be absorbed. The phenomenon of large-scale conduction cessation is due to the fact that the ring treats all foreign devices as heretical, depriving them of all their functionality and rendering them incapacitated. In other words, the only solution to the problem of hunger and cold for the people on the land, who lack guidance, is to land on the floating city and make the Ring of Radiance powerless.

The plan has been decided, everyone is fighting bravely, and no one has any intention of backing down. Then the crowd dispersed, each making his own preparations.

However, before leaving, two people stopped Hailiga and had some secret conversations. One of them was Cassius, who was so busy on the ground that he could not take a break from it, so he could only watch silently on the ground. He said something encouraging, and Heliga listened. But the invitation of another person was indeed somewhat surprising in any case—it was Father Kevin and Joshua.

"What's wrong?" The combination of these two people made Heiliga look a little surprised, "What's the matter?" ”

"Mr. Joshua...... A little extra help may be needed. Kevin pondered his words, "He seems to mention that you know some stories about Stigmata, too?" ”

"Stigma?" Helliga frowned, "Is that the kind of curse that Wiseman once put on Filipino?" ”

"I think it's something like that." Joshua said that Heliga felt that he was a little uncharacteristically eager when it came to the subject, "but you found out that the hint against Filipino was cracked...... So I thought ......"

"Could it be ......," Hyliga reacted, "Wiseman's previous method of controlling you was - use that?" ”

"That's right." Joshua frankly admitted, "Even though Wiseman says he won't care about me anymore...... But with the character of that poisonous snake, he really can't be expected to keep his promises. If there is a problem during the Floating City battle...... So, I found you and Father Kevin. ”

"You want us to help you dismiss that hint, don't you?" Herigah understood what Joshua meant.

"Yes...... Wiseman used to be in the church...... Well, he had studied for a while, so it was not surprising that he had studied the "stigmata" and used his techniques after desecrating the stigmata on Joshua-kun. Kevin nodded, "But I don't really have much confidence in removing this hint on my own, because I've heard that he was impressed with your handling of the Pseudo-Stigmata, so I'm asking you to help." ”

"Understood. If I can, I'm willing to help. Heliga immediately promised—now that he had inherited all of Bernardo's cognitive and illusion spells, there should be some way to deal with such hints, "Do you want to start now?" ”

"No...... Wait a minute. I still have something to say to Istelle...... After all, it's not impossible that something unexpected will happen when removing the "stigma". Joshua then left—he seemed to be worried about it.

"I suppose Joshua is really just a shield for you, right?" Joshua was gone, but the strange atmosphere in the room hadn't gone away—it wasn't from Joshua, it was Father Kevin.

"Sort of...... But I'm seriously trying to help him. After all, the blasphemy of the "stigma" is also a felony written in the canon. Joshua is a victim, and if there is still a chance to rescue him, I will naturally not let it go. But you're right...... Actually, my main purpose is to talk to you...... Of course, thanks to Joshua, I also know some of your secrets. ”

"So what? Let's get straight to the point. "Heliga has always had little feeling for Kevin and the church he belongs to, but experience has taught him that this organization, which has a monopoly on all basic education and medical care on the continent, and has spread in all countries on the entire continent, will definitely not be as good as they seem.

"By Joshua's words I was sure...... The reason you told me last time that you wanted to oppose "association" was not false. Kevin didn't ask his own question directly, "but there are some deeper secrets involved...... It stands to reason that I shouldn't have leaked it to you. But the chief said that he could give you some green light on intelligence...... Well, as a reward for the upfront payment. ”

"Hehe, it seems that some deep secrets of the church are involved?" Heliga disagreed, "Does your chief want to use this information as a gesture of goodwill in exchange for my help?" ”

"At least in this matter, I think your help is still necessary." Kevin took a deep breath, "So I was sure just now that you didn't deceive us - so, do you agree or don't you agree to this condition?" ”

"If the purpose is the same, why not help an organization like the church and brush up on your face?" Heiliga laughed, "Just tell me about it...... If it touches my bottom line, I'll call you to stop at any time. ”

"Okay...... Then I'll tell you. Kevin paused, as if to give himself a moment to make up his mind, "My real mission in Liber this time is to get rid of the worst traitor in the history of the church, Gayruger Wiseman. ”

"The real task? In other words, is it the purpose to be achieved no matter what? Heliga was a little surprised, he had always thought that the church was asking him to help deal with the association—"How did he mess with you all the time?" ”

He was originally from the Autonomous Region of Northumbria, but the power of the ancient relic "Salt Stake" was out of control, causing large areas of fertile land to turn into a sea of salt, and many people lost their homes. It was in this context that Wiseman was adopted, raised, and eventually became a bishop, plus a priest of the temple. ”

"You can say ...... Let the Church have the virtue of reinventing him. Haley nodded in a dark and complicated manner, "It sounds a little unforgivable that he betrayed the church and joined the association. ”

"If that's all it takes, it's annoying, but it's not so much that the church's top brass will tremble with anger when they hear his name ten years later." Kevin shook his head with a wry smile, "The most terrible thing is that he borrowed the authority of the bishop and looked through a lot of forbidden books and classics, not only learned a lot about the knowledge of ancient relics and the methods commonly used by the church, such as "hints", but also learned about the existence of "stigma" from it, and studied it a lot. Gradually, he became obsessed, not only satisfied with literature and research, but also often put aside his position and went alone to the places mentioned in the forbidden book to conduct field investigations, and in the end......, "Kevin clenched his hands," he actually used his position to conduct his experiments on "artificial stigmata" with homeless orphans and children whose parents were not well cared for in the local area of the church where he belonged. ”

“…… So, because of this, he went to seek the asylum of association? Heiliga said softly.

"No...... It doesn't seem like that. As early as the episcopal period, he seemed to know that the Church would only become more and more dissatisfied with his research. Therefore, many years ago, he began to plot a rebellion into the "association...... For this reason, he did not hesitate to betray information to the association from a long time ago. ”

"So...... There are good reasons why the church wants to deal with him. But......" Heliga looked at Kevin and said word by word, "I don't think they're going to send just an ordinary knight to deal with such a bad person, right?" Not only does Wiseman now have the new power and knowledge given to him by the Alliance Master as protection, but he is surrounded by a large number of powerful executors, and it seems difficult to kill him. ”

"That's why you need ...... and your help. But you're right, I'm no ordinary knight—" Kevin closed his eyes as he spoke, and with a slight exertion, some strange power began to circulate in the room.

"This is ......" Heliga looked at the faint light behind Kevin, looking a little surprised, he didn't expect Kevin to be so honest, "Is this proof that you are "different" from ordinary knights?" ”

"That's right...... This is a real stigma...... Every knight with the stigma on his back is one of the twelve guardian knights of the Star Cup Knights - I am the fifth of them who has been hidden, Kevin Graham, the "Hunter of the Outer Law". By the way, this is also highly classified, and no one else should theoretically know until Wiseman is dealt with, unless you have special permission from the Chief. ”

"It's amazing...... Just to get rid of Wiseman, you're revealing all the information? ”

"And that's not all...... As I said earlier, this is just a "greeting gift" in the mouth of the chief executive. After this is over, she seems to want to talk to you personally about her next steps. ”

"I think if there is a follow-up to what I do, then I should be paid no less, right?"

"Hehe, of course." Kevin smiled businessfully, "Church...... Or that we "Guardian Knights" rarely show such trust to outsiders...... In fact, the chief's attitude is also changing back and forth, and I myself am very uncomfortable. ”

"Yes......" Heliga whispered—the attitude of the church did give him a strong sense of disobedience. But for some reason, there was always a figure in his mind that had appeared not long before and then disappeared quickly.

"Huh...... Could it be him? ”
