In the city of Elroy, late at night, on a deserted street, a rickety priest led a woman in a pure white dress to Harvey's former mansion, and the blonde woman stared at the dark mansion and tightened her willow eyebrows: "Is this the source of the stench?" ”

"No, no, although the demonic aura here is very strong, it is very unstable, and the buildings have traces of spells. Poor Lamb, may God forgive you for your sins, and we will throw ourselves into Hell with poison and daggers in our hands, and the flames of the pure world will burn up this sin and expel the demons from the sea of sin. ”

The priest asked with a complicated expression, "Your Excellency, why did you come here in person?" ”

"I received a report from the secret church that a high demon had appeared in this city, and I thought that this desolate country would no longer be invaded by demons."

The priest smiled bitterly: "About this... Personally, I still hope that the church will not interfere. ”

The saint looked at the old man in puzzlement: "Father, are you protecting the demons?" ”

The priest shook his head: "She never did anything to an innocent person. ”

The saint replied in the affirmative: "Its existence itself is an evil, no matter what happens, its nature is destined to make it impossible for her to change, thousands of years ago, those blasphemous spellcasters had the same stupid idea as you, vainly trying to control the power of demons, and as a result, they caused this demonic disaster that lasted for thousands of years, and this stupidity remains in the history of mankind to this day." Father, I have seen, I have come into contact with, I have slain thousands of demons, all of which will reveal their ugly nature. ”

The priest looked at the towering mansion in front of him, "Maybe that's the case, but that demon is different, and more precisely, the owner of that demon, Mr. Harvey Adrian, even if he is suspected of raising demons, I dare to assert that he is not the evil person who drives demons." ”

"Harvey Adrian? Father, if you know about this owner, why don't you tell the secret church? ”

The priest laughed: "This name is extremely loud in this country, and it cannot even be used as a kind of intelligence, it is just common sense in circulation. ”

"Is he a king?"

"No, he's a spellcaster and a great writer, and I believe he's wise enough to rise above the evil of demons."

"Are you trying to say that the definition of good and evil depends on the user of the weapon?"

The priest just shook his head and sighed.

The saint said softly: "There is no good or evil in weapons, but demons do, and they are absolutely evil. ”

The priest's expression was extremely serious: "Your Excellency, you should know that the turmoil of the Church a hundred years ago and the great loss of the strength of the Church, now at least we are powerless to interfere in the politics and ideas of the Kingdom, once others know that the Church wants to attack Mr. Harvey Adrian, the situation of the Church will not only become quite embarrassing, but may be expelled by the people and the country. ”

"Loved by the state, anyway, I understand the situation of the priest, but it is the duty of our secret church to purify the demons, and as for the chain reaction caused by it, it will be dealt with by His Majesty the Pope, and the worst result will be to withdraw from this country and classify it as a heretic."

The priest felt his mouth dry and asked in an incomprehensible tone, "Just for a demon..." Is it worth it? ”

"It is not the ideal that drives us to destroy demons, but the instinct and nature of eating, Father, how many days can you go without eating?"

"That's it~ That's it, you go and find it, there is information about the name of Harvey Adrian is public information in this country, then Holy Maiden, I also give you the final advice, this country is not a holy country, there are laws here, there are rules here, I was born here, I speak in the language of this country, and all my disciples are from this country." The priest's rickety body turned away, and Xiao Se's back seemed to have aged dozens of years all of a sudden.

After confirming that the priest was leaving, a knight in silver-white heavy armor walked over from the shadow of the alley, with a grim expression, looking at the back of the priest leaving, and said gloomily: "Damn the liberal sect, I thought that stupidity also has a limit, Your Majesty should have listed them as heretics a long time ago, and actually wanted to protect the demons?" Absurd! ”

"You're looking for a message from Harvey Adrian, I want to pray here for a moment to dispel the demonic aura here."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

······

A few days later, Norton, the capital of the Kingdom of Barron.

The steam train slowly entered the station, with the sharp and piercing brakes, the steam train stopped, the passengers inside went out from the front carriage, and another group of passengers on the platform who were ready to take the train entered from the rear in an orderly manner, at this time a petite figure hurriedly came out of the crowd, and the girl with long blond hair tied with braids covered her mouth and found a trash can at the train station and vomited.

Behind the girl, followed by a middle-aged man in a black suit with a cold expression, with a white face and sparse eyebrows, and a pair of eyes that could not see any mood fluctuations were particularly impressive.

"Your Excellency..." The middle-aged man's expression was rare and a little complicated, it was the first time he had seen this big man of the secret church show such an embarrassed side, no wonder he looked sick on the carriage just now, and patience was already the limit.

The girl was still retching, waving her hand to signal the middle-aged man to leave here.

The middle-aged man bowed slightly: "I understand, I will collect information first, and please don't act rashly." ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man turned around and left, blending into the flow of people and disappearing.

After a long pause, the girl raised her delicate and lovely face and looked around in confusion, the flow of people was too dense, dazzling, walking through it was like going against the current in the water, everyone's dress gave her a particularly novel feeling, it was something that could not be seen in the holy country, although the air was turbid, the flow of people was dense enough to make her uncomfortable, like an ignorant village woman who came here from the countryside, and the curiosity and excitement of the new world made her automatically ignore all discomfort.

"Is this what the Holy Land calls a desolate country?" The saint was a little confused, and what she saw was clearly that this city was more prosperous than any country she had ever visited, and the girl quickly restrained her excited look, wiped the booty from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and left in another direction.

······

Things are trickier than you think.

There are too many mysteries about the character of Harvey Adrian, if it is divided into two parts, the surface influence is no longer inferior to the royal family of this country, and the real identity is the empress's assistant, rashly attacking him is equivalent to offending the country's imperial power, and if you are not careful, you will end up with a more tragic end than more than a hundred years ago.

Li's identity is still foggy, he is a registered mage of the Royal Spellcasters Association and the Magic Association of the Kingdom of Barron, and the relationship between the church and the Magic Association is not good, but they signed a contract of mutual non-interference decades ago, and although there will still be conflicts, they are still put off the table and under the table.

On the other hand, Harvey's strength is even more of a mystery, judging from the intelligence collected by the secret church, Harvey once participated in the war at Norton Royal Concert Hall, and is likely to be one of the core figures of this incident, the Norton Golden Music Hall incident has long been an open secret after a few months of fermentation, and the Barron Kingdom has lost at least seven layers of extraordinary strength, and that area has been locked down so far.

The only known three survivors are Harvey, Duke Anderson, and the head of the Iris Knights, and there is inconclusive evidence that one of the casters involved in the event is still alive, though the caster is too taboo to talk about it.

The Barron Kingdom's spell network is very weak, and the aether element is thin, which means that even if a powerful spellcaster comes here, his strength will be limited, although the miracle magic used by the secret church is not a magic spell, but there are many harsh requirements for the caster's environment and themselves.

The most important thing is probably the so-called faith, the piety of the individual faith determines the limit of the miracle that can be performed, and the collective faith determines how powerful the miracle can be used in this area, unfortunately Norton's faith is also thin, which means that even as a saint, it is impossible to exert much power.

The saint found the hotel where she stayed, the hotel is not luxurious, but the layout is quite elegant, of course, the elevator saint in the corridor is still avoided, that thing will make her dizziness aggravated.

"The Count of Monte Cristo, by Harvey Adrian."

Arriving at the room on the third floor, the saint immediately sorted out the information she had obtained, and took out a few copies from her satchel, which the priest had given her as a gift when she left, citing intelligence-related reasons.

Educated in a monastery since childhood, the saint is quite familiar with the kingdom of Barun, which is still a powerful country in the western continent, and is proficient in the Barun language, which is more than enough to cope with daily life and newspapers and periodicals.

When she took these books, she clearly saw more complex and difficult meanings on the priest's face.

It is relatively old, not that it is not badly maintained, but it belongs to the feeling of being read many times, the corners of the pages are curled, and the exquisite cover is intact, which shows how much the owner cherishes it. There are also many classics in the church, most of which are the legends of the saints and religious books of the church, and the saints rarely have the opportunity to read from the outside world.

The two men depicted on the cover in completely different situations evoke the girlish curiosity in the saint's heart.

What is so appealing to others about the writings of sinners who enslave demons?

For some reason, the saint had a strong premonition in her heart that something was warning her that once she opened this book, she would most likely embark on a path of no return.

This feeling is very strong, but it is not so much that it is one of the powers that belong to the Holy Maiden, and that the omnipotent God will show the Holy Maiden the right path.

However, this ability has become quite weak in this country of low faith, and the saint does not believe that a book can change her mind.

After a moment's hesitation, the first page of "The Count of Monte Cristo" was opened...

······

The light of the room was lit from late night until morning, and the morning light shone through the glass windows on the soft red carpet, and the thick book in the saint's hand was finally closed.

At this time, the saint finally understood what the priest said, no matter what, the saint must admit that the person who wrote this book must have great wisdom, the thoughts expressed, the main body is shocking, and more importantly, the protagonist of Monte Cristo is a believer who is biased towards the liberal sect, and his actions are very in line with the values of the liberal sect.

It is true that such a work could not have come from the hands of those who enslaved demons.

But the saint is now more concerned about the plot, when it closes, her body and mind are restless, as if something has entered her body to stir her body and interfere with her thoughts.

"What the hell? I'm sure my faith hasn't been shaken, but..." She closed her eyes and felt the throbbing of her body and mind.

What is the truth in it? Revenge of pleasure inside? Or is it a touching love story?

The saint could not determine the source of her restlessness, she felt ridiculous, because the heart of the faith, which had been silent for more than ten years, was now beginning to have the feelings of ordinary people? Or did you find this kind of thing from a book?

Ridiculous and ridiculous.

Suddenly, the brilliant light unfolded from the back of the saint, the white wings of light spread out and filled the room, the white wings of light were not the saintess, but a girl who was also born in the holy light and had a face similar to her, her expression was gentle and indifferent, her pure and gentle eyes seemed to be able to tolerate all sins, her graceful body was wrapped in a white cloth, and her body was connected to the light that unfolded behind the saint.

The white wings of light were burning, and the falling starlight fell to the ground, and the ripples of the void turned into complex scriptures.

Angels, miracles that can only be bestowed on the faithful, require a choir of ninety-nine disciples to chant for a night, and then go through a complex séance to bestow them, and the angels and believers are one and the same.

Now, however, the angel that dwells on the body of the saint is not called out by the saint.

The angel composed of glow stared curiously at the book, and when he touched it softly, the pages of the book ignited with glow flames, and he was held in the arms of the angel, rubbing happily.

and became the possession of the angels.

"No, angels should be the most sensitive to the breath of evil, such a literary work from evil people, why..." The saint pressed her forehead and whispered in a weary voice, showing that the sheer force required by the angel had almost drained her body.

"Why did it become a holy relic!"

Holy relics, literally inhabited by sacred relics, most of the holy relics are the remains of the saints of the church, and there are a few things that cannot be understood, and the holy relics do not refer to objects, but a concept. The most widespread use of relics in the Church is as a foundation for calling angels.

It's like constructing the core crystal of a creature, because of the special nature of angels, the relics must be pure and unsullied.

What kind of angels would be born in such a literary work of human hands, which is usually from the hand of a man who drives demons?

Burned to ashes by the glow, the white wings of light broke into ashes, and together with the body of the saint, a fire ignited, and the pure white garments turned into pitch black, and the glow transformed into pure flames.

The presence of the angel is combined, and it is given a completely different meaning of existence, and the saint, who is one with the angel, also undergoes an amazing change at this moment.

······

"Angel number 74 checks for drastic changes."

"There is no reversal, and the cause is being determined."

"The preliminary conclusion is that due to the change in the host's belief concept and the belief environment, the angels turned around in the direction that people wanted."

"The area of change is Area 1 of the Barron Kingdom, which is now completely polluted."

"The kingdom of Barron has been judged to be a heretical country, and clergy above the second authority are forbidden to come into contact or enter."
