Chapter 66: The Paladin's Temptation
When the two major crises in Ontario were resolved, it was already the second half of the night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info failed to fight the Night Race's Ontario Legion, which pursued to no avail, and reluctantly retreated to the city, only to find that half of the temple in Ontario had been burned down.
For those warriors and knights who served in the army, this was not a big deal. But all the clergy in the church felt a sigh of relief in their chests, because part of their belongings were in the church. Even some pastors have worked hard for decades to accumulate their savings and are burned in the fire.
In this way, the search for the Shining Sword has become the most trivial matter in everyone's hearts. The majestic and high-spirited return team disbanded itself not long after entering the capital, and each went back to his own home.
In fact, in addition to the losses in the Templar, there are also some surprising things happening in some unknown dark corners, which cannot be seen in the official history of the Light Race and the Duchy of Finir, but which have been recorded by the dark-bellied Night Race, and some of them have been told to the Bard with ulterior motives.
One of the episodes is as follows: after the fire of the First Sanctuary burned, the guards had time to transfer the prisoners out of the dungeon, but because of the lack of manpower, they were afraid that there would be some chaos during the transfer process, so they finally saw hundreds of prisoners inside being burned alive and did not rescue them.
If the people who are being imprisoned here are all the Night Races, maybe the reaction of the people will not be too violent. But in reality, most of these prisoners were the Light Race who had desecrated the Light, as well as civilians who had been arrested for the sake of the chaos. This part of the population only made a small mistake, but it cost them their lives.
Early the next morning, Anne stood in front of the still smoky First Church of Ontario, looking at the rubble in front of her. Because the sun hasn't come out yet, the weather still seems a little cold.
"Is what you're doing this time doing to the Night Race more beneficial or disadvantageous? Although this was a demoralization blow to the Templars, it also exposed the small Night Legion near Ontare. In addition, the spies lurking in the city have also been withdrawn, and the Templar will definitely be very strict in checking the passers-by in a short period of time, and it will be difficult for the Night Race to have a chance to infiltrate the city again. ”
The vicious dog sneezed solidly. The weather is getting cooler, and it should be time to change the moult, otherwise this outfit will not be able to hold up at all.
Pije knew all these questions about the Fallen Angel's sister. In fact, the Templar and the city's security team have already begun to take action, and the city gates have been closed since last night, and each major road section has the Templar people to handle it, using the holy emblem blessed by magic in their hands to detect whether there are any night creatures around.
Unfortunately, while everyone was busy fighting the fire yesterday, the Night Stalkers who were hiding among the ordinary people had quietly left, leaving no time for the Templar to arrest them.
Anne's question of "is it worth it" is actually difficult to answer simply. It's like playing chess, a game of chess has a variety of moves, and each move can't be without losses, and who chooses to choose depends on how the next move is intended.
Two paladins rode by, and one of them saw Anne and immediately turned his horse's head.
"Miss, now I need a routine check-up." The paladin rubbed the emblem and let the light shine on Anne's body as he asked, "Is Miss Ontariel?" ”
"I'm from the Free Federation of Heims." Anne replied.
"The Heim Free Federation?" The paladin frowned, as if he felt a little strange, "It's not close to the Duchy of Feinir. What are you doing here? ”
Without waiting for Anne to answer, the paladin's gaze turned to Pijie, who had a dull expression: "This is the strange beast you raised?" It seems to be a monster. ”
As he spoke, he drew his long sword and slashed at Piger's body without saying a word.
This paladin is obviously very knowledgeable, and knows that some high-level night creatures are not afraid of the power of the Holy Light, so he deliberately found some words to test. Most of the things like raising demonic beasts are only done by the Night Race, and they are expressly forbidden in the Principality of Finir.
"Stop!"
Anne glared at the sword-wielding paladin, "If you don't believe me, you can go to your Bishop Harvey and ask." Not only am I a nobleman of the Free Federation of Heims, but I have also brought a precious artifact fragment to your Templar. Could it be that the Principality of Fenier has always received its distinguished guests like this? ”
In his words, he was quite arrogant.
Hearing this, the paladin remembered that he had heard the news that two women had appeared in the First Templar with a huge beast and brought a fragment of an artifact with him before he had led the Legion of Light as a general last night.
"A beautiful woman with a wild beast ......"
The paladin frowned and looked at Anne, as if judging whether her words were true or false. Then, he retracted the long sword into its sheath, jumped down from the horse, bowed slightly, and said, "Dear Miss, I apologize deeply for the misunderstanding you have just received. You know, yesterday the First Church of Ontariel was attacked by a succubus, and now we all have a certain amount of skepticism about the identity of the young beautiful lady. ”
“……”
Although this may be true, it sounds like a vicious dog has some hint of rising hormone levels. However, Anne did not react much to what the handsome paladin said, only bowed her head politely, and then turned away.
"Miss, there may be danger in Ontario Leh these two days, so try not to go out. If anything unusual happens, you can go to ......"
Anne didn't hear the latter words, because at this moment the vicious dog sent a cold sentence with a spiritual connection: "As arrogant as you, it doesn't look like a noble lady, but like those noble lords with eyes on the top of their heads." ”
"Oh? Won't show the stuffing, right? Anne seemed surprised, and after thinking for a moment, she had to admit, "Actually, I have not come into contact with the noble lady, and even those behaviors just now were just learned from the man who was hit by the carriage and killed yesterday." ”
The vicious dog had nothing to say, but he thought to himself, no wonder this Nizi's words and deeds just now had the smell of an upstart.
Speaking of the man who was hit by the carriage and killed, Piger couldn't help but think of the unknown guy who had been following him last night. This incident has always made the evil dog's heart unhappy, as if someone else had installed a remote-controlled bomb on him, and whether it explodes or not depends on the mood of the control, which is very unpleasant.
