Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Purple Cardinal Pays His Debts
Anyone who sees the succubus in its true form will naturally understand why both the light and neutral races hate this dark creature. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's ugly, it's fucking ugly.
At first, a boring bard guild had funnily created a "list of ugly creatures" while studying the sour verses. In this ranking, the entire group of succubi hangs high in second place, second only to the kind of ghoul who is "more like baba than poop".
Even Samar, an unknown ugly creature known as the "Poisonous Lightbringer", was pressed to the third place by him, which shows that the ugly appearance of the succubus is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
In fact, in Pidger's opinion, the succubus is actually not that ugly, and it should be behind the legendary Samar who was removed from the Holy Light race because of his ugliness. The reason why it is so unpopular is that the more uniform theory is that the skin that these bastard succubi usually wear is too perfect, and the appearance of the main body is really impossible to see compared with one of them.
A vulgar song later composed by the bards profoundly reveals the effect of this gap on the succubus: "It's not your fault that you're ugly, it's the real sin to pretend to be beautiful." Even if the appearance can be changed, what remains unchanged is the ugliness of nature......"
And at this time, when the hideous and terrifying succubus appeared in its true image, the handsome paladins who had just seen this "beautiful girl" with some special meaning in their eyes immediately felt their blood surge, as if their souls had been shattered somewhere, and they couldn't wait to immediately step forward and abuse this succubus. Kill.
In fact, several paladins have already gone into action.
Except for the fact that the low-level succubus is a little intimidating, it actually doesn't have much ability, let alone in such a place where the holy light gathers. Although the current mentality of survival is strong, it does not inspire him to have much fighting spirit, but directly ponders how to escape.
"Woo!"
The succubus roared, and the barbed black tail slammed out, and one leg wrapped around the long table lifted upwards, blocking the magic and sharp swords cast by the paladins in front of him.
Immediately, the guy rushed out of the door without hesitation, trying to take advantage of the chaos to escape. Unfortunately, the Radiant Sword in Bishop Harvey's hand was already unsheathed and flew in front of the succubus in the blink of an eye. The holy light emanating from the blade of the sword formed a dazzling curtain of light, firmly enveloping the succubus inside.
"Stay alive!"
Several paladins who rushed forward wanted to end the succubus's life, but were stopped by Bishop Harvey. Two of them didn't have time to stop, and they were easily bounced off by the wall formed by the Shining Sword.
Subsequently, several priests cast the Holy Light Imprisonment Spell and took care of the big guy in front of him.
Anne and Piger, who had witnessed the whole thing, were now completely outsiders, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with them. The former dragged Alice backwards, while the big dog remained calm and unmoving.
The tightly bound succubus glanced at Anne sadly before being taken away, only to respond with a cold look.
Killing an insignificant creep by an enemy does not affect the final success or failure, but if the king of the board is exposed to the enemy, then the game is not far from failure.
As a group of paladins took the succubus and two men away, the room seemed a lot bigger. Most of the priests who stayed in place had come from the baptism of war, and they did not mess up in the face of the small situation that had just emerged.
"Lord Bishop, what to do with this succubus?" A priest asked in a low voice.
"Let's see if I can ask something. The succubus was with two traitors who had been expelled from the Templars, and he must have been planning something unseen. I even think that the purpose of their visit today is just a pretense, and the real purpose is to cast a long line to catch a big fish, and to take this opportunity to figure out the structure of the Templar, and then find an opportunity to steal our other artifact fragments as well. ”
"Understood." The priest nodded.
Bishop Harvey thought thoughtfully: "In a few days it will be the birthday of San Antonio, and we must ask the cause and effect of the incident before that day, and then dedicate the souls of the succubus and the two traitors to the Holy Light and the Holy Spirit." ”
The priest's expression was slightly stunned, but then he turned away as if nothing had happened.
As he went out, the old priest, who had been working in the church for decades, couldn't help but shake his head lightly, and muttered softly: "O sin! ”
Harvey carefully wrapped the two pieces and instructed a priest to find someone to clean up the mess on the floor, and then headed straight outside.
"Wait a minute, Lord Bishop."
Alice stopped him, stretched out two chubby palms and said, "Lord Bishop, the 10,000 gold coins you promised us......"
The bishop, dressed in purple, had already stepped out of the door with one foot, but when he heard this, he turned back and looked a little embarrassed on his face.
"This thing...... I'm sorry, but those 10,000 gold coins can't belong to you. Since we have already prepaid the Tulip Adventure Squad 3,000 gold coins, this contract is between us and the Tulip Adventure Troopers. Now their whereabouts are unknown, and the contract cannot be considered complete strictly speaking, so the remaining 7,000 gold coins can only wait for them to receive them. ”
"But those people are dead." Alice hurriedly said, "How can the dead come to collect the gold coins?" ”
Bishop Harvey had a regretful expression on his face: "If that's the case, then these seven thousand gold coins can only be kept by our Holy Church." ”
Then, without waiting for the two girls to speak, Bishop Harvey turned and walked briskly away.
"What do you mean by keeping it on your behalf?"
Alice pondered these words, looked up and bumped into Annie's foolish eyes, and suddenly understood, and then ignored the strange eyes of the cleaners, and shouted in a low voice: "This bastard! ”
The dignified purple cardinal actually defaulted on the debt, and put forward such a high-sounding reason, which not only made Alice feel unacceptable, but even Anne felt a little surprised.
This former angel is not as brain-dead as believers to think that all the clergy in this world are good people, but it is indeed too ironic that a mere 7,000 gold coins can make a purple cardinal fall below the moral bottom line.
The vicious dog felt in a good mood at this time. There is a good saying, "The defeat of the enemy is our greatest victory". Although the dignified purple-clothed bishop still has a certain amount of scheming, he still hasn't cultivated enough to win people's hearts. Or maybe it's because that guy didn't take the two women in front of him in his eyes at all, so he planned to be so perfunctory.
Things will prove later to see how stupid such ideas and practices are.
