Chapter Twenty-Three: Walking with the Holy Maiden
After passing the city gate, the carriage quickly stopped at a private house, and the holy woman in the carriage glanced at Lu Ming with some concern.
It was clear that from the moment she left the city gates, she felt someone following her.
Lu Ming smiled lightly, signaled that she was fine, and then took the lead in getting out of the car.
"Your Excellency!"
Compared to the saintess who had four maids, Lu Ming was also greeted by Lifa after getting out of the car.
Because of the lack of people around him, Lifa has been sent by him to protect the princesses recently, resulting in him acting alone lately.
Of course, I really have to take Lifa to deal with those archbishops, her level is also a little insufficient, Lifa is not a pure-blooded demon, just a branch of the demon clan, when the Demon King Castle recruited a maid, Lu Ming saw that she had a good personality, so he promoted her to be the head maid.
However, the later Lifa did not disappoint Lu Ming.
Let her deal with those archbishops who have fused the bloodline of pure-blooded demons, she is weaker in terms of bloodline ability alone, so Lu Ming naturally can't arrange such a dangerous job for her.
It's also good to do this personal radar like now.
Although recently, she even took some of her job with the humanoid radar by Yulina.
Fortunately, Lifa also has the function of taking care of their daily life, as a maid, she is responsible for three meals a day, and even the four salted fish under the holy woman can't cook, so this job can only fall to Lifa's head.
Lifa followed Lu Ming with all her heart and entered the house in the name of the Holy Maiden.
The people who were in charge of tracking them not far away only saw the figures of Lifa and the four maids, and as for the saints, they were blocked by Lu Ming.
"Lord Brave, please be sure to take me with you when you travel this time."
This time, the saintess seemed to have become wiser, knowing that this brave guy would never tell her before he did it, and in this case, she planned to follow him all the time.
"Huh~?"
Lu Ming looked a little reluctant.
Although he knew that the Holy Maiden was indeed for his good, Ciel's magic was specialized in healing, and such magic was very useful to people of any advanced level.
But it's useless to Lu Ming, will he be injured?
However, looking at Hill's look of following him, Lu Ming still agreed with a headache:
"Okay, then you'd better follow me and don't run around."
Lu Ming's words made the saint pout dissatisfied, she was a saint who was strict with herself, she didn't run around, and she said her like a child.
And she followed the brave man to take care of him, how did she turn into being taken care of herself.
Of course, if she really knew Lu Ming's level, she wouldn't choose to cause trouble.
"In that case, without further ado, let's go out for a walk now."
Lu Ming couldn't wait to say.
Anyway, it's okay to stay here, so it's better to go out and have a look, and as for tidying up the room, just leave it to the head maid.
"Hmm."
The saint also nodded, she also has maids on her side to take care of her daily life, and she doesn't have to do it herself, so the two salted fish can go out and run around at any time.
Out of the door, Lu Ming and the Holy Maiden first saw the two knights who were in charge of monitoring them not far away, standing around the corner.
"Speaking of which, the knights here in Carthusian City are a little different, I remember that Morel was involved with the demons, and the knights were spontaneously disbanded, but I didn't expect it to remain here."
After Lu Ming used the magic of concealing his body on himself and the Holy Maiden, he swaggered down the road, not worrying about being discovered by the knights of the two churches, but discussing them.
It is clear that the knights of Carthusian City have begun to blatantly follow the people of the other factions of the church, and I am afraid that they already know what their archbishop is doing.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have done it so diligently, and at least I had to doubt my task.
"That guy from Carthus, unlike the other archbishops of the Church, is very good to his men."
Hearing Lu Ming's question, the holy woman was not surprised, although she rarely saw these archbishops, but she was still very clear about their affairs:
"His subordinates are all loyal guys, I'm afraid even if Carter defects to the demons, those guys will continue to follow him."
"No wonder."
Lu Ming nodded, understanding the basic situation in Carthusian City.
In other words, what they want to clean up this time is not only the archbishop who has fused the blood of the demon race, but also the Holy Light Knights of the Church, the bishop and others?
There are a lot of opponents, and it's a nuisance.
Lu Ming rubbed his head, he planned to start with the archbishop first, as long as he was solved, it was not impossible for the rest of the people to be handed over to the holy women.
When Lu Ming and the Holy Maiden passed by the two knights in charge of surveillance, they also saw a few civilians passing by.
As soon as these civilians saw the two knights dressed in church clothes, they immediately showed a frightened expression, lowered their heads and hurriedly fled.
Obviously, Carthusian City has also lost the faith of the civilians, but unlike Morrell City, it is suppressed by the knights, so that the civilians do not dare to show their disgust on their faces.
This place is actually more terrifying to the civilians than the city of Morel, and they don't even dare to show their feelings of resistance.
"Lord Brave, shall we go directly to the palace in Carthus?"
After following Lu Ming for a while, the holy woman couldn't help asking.
Unlike Morel, since Carter had so many men, he didn't need to hide, and he must be in the palace of the church at the moment.
"Well, let's go straight there."
The palace of the church, as the central building of the entire capital, must be visible at a glance, and Lu Ming and the Holy Maiden had already seen the resplendent residence in the distance without taking a few steps.
After approaching, they found that there was a group of knights holding their hands to the door, and within a hundred meters, no civilians dared to approach here.
Lu Ming himself walked over directly generously, and the holy woman looked at him with some apprehension, but she still followed carefully step by step.
"Rest assured, they don't feel like we're there."
Lu Ming looked back and saw Hill's cautious appearance, and couldn't help but tell her funny.
When he said this, there was a knight standing opposite him, and Lu Ming was speaking in front of him at all.
However, the other party did not react at all, as if he had not heard anything, and turned a blind eye to them, like a dummy.
Seeing this, the saint breathed a sigh of relief, put her mind at ease, and followed Lu Ming into the palace.
To Lu Ming's surprise, it is said that the entire palace is the territory of the bishop's family, and the number of priests inside should not be more than the knights outside, but after they entered, they did not find a single person.
Lu Ming spread out his magic power, felt the life nearby, and found that there was no one on the five floors of the entire hall on the ground at all, and the only place where there were people was still underground.
"Let's go, follow me underground and have a look."
Lu Ming directly took the holy maiden to the bottom of the palace.
