Renus took a deep breath, then pulled out Dawnbreaker. The sound of the blade when it was unsheathed, combined with the sharp cold light emitted from the blade, caused goosebumps to rise in the audience around it. Immediately after, the female paladin took the first step, and under the guidance of the dawn light emanating from her sword, the large dragon behind slowly advanced, preparing to follow the avenue covered with red velvet carpet to the temple on the mountain.

Previously, a team of nobles and high-ranking clergy had taken the lead in the trekking ritual. Now the procession that set off from Platinum Square to climb the Temple Hill is of a relatively heavy performance and display nature, and it is also the most important program in the minds of the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people who come to watch the ceremony in Fryjus City today.

Although the atmosphere of Fryjus City is more exclusive, Renas is not only the holy warrior of the Temple of Dawn, but also the wielder of the goddess's own sword "Dawn". What's more, she is very beautiful, and her appearance and temperament are very much in line with the image of a female apostle fighting for the gods in the eyes of ordinary people - pure, powerful, and beautiful.

So, when the present. When Anisari asked Renas to take on one of the most important roles in the ceremony, the sword-bearer, there was no opposition.

Renus, though she felt that such an appearance was inappropriate, was completely contrary to the low-key exploration plan she had set when she first arrived in Freiris City. But after discussing it with Gordon, she agreed.

Dressed in silver armor, with blonde hair flying, Renus, who was awe-inspiring, walked in the front, and behind her, on the left and right, followed by two girls who were not inferior to her in terms of beauty, and whose feminine temperament was more prominent.

One of them was dressed in a light white gauze robe. Holding a gold scale in one hand, wearing a golden crown on his head, his face is solemn. She was the one who attended the ceremony on behalf of the Temple of Eracis. The scale in the hand represents law and justice, and the gold crown on the head is engraved with the pattern of a quill pen and paper, symbolizing civilization.

The other girl is even more eye-catching. It wasn't that she was more beautiful than Renus or the Celebrant of the God of Law, but as she walked, a pair of dragon wings suddenly spread out on her back, and the white gold flakes on her long skirt were like dragon scales. Shining brightly in the morning sun.

When Renas first saw the maiden of the Platinum Temple, she was also startled by the sudden unfolding of the dragon wings of the other party. She didn't expect that the Platinum Temple would actually find a golden dragon dragon-descended girl. to take on the position of the ceremonial one.

And later, Miss Paladin also found out that the other girl who represented the god of law and civilization also had an extraordinary background. These two people are said to have been specially selected. Conduct the culture. An important candidate for the post of saint in the future.

In the countries of the Northern Continent, including Northumbrendri, which had very different customs and systems, and was a sworn enemy of Ferredon, the Holy Maiden did not belong to the permanent positions of the Church. It is an honorary title, and it often has to be affirmed by the gods the church serves in order for the person to receive it.

Canonization is a big deal, and the word "holy" cannot be misused at will. Even if it is morally unblemished Ben. Bishop Anisa was only privately called a saint by the people of the city of Flaires, which was a compliment to his noble character. And not a real title.

And the Platinum Temple and the Elassis Temple are actually making a big fuss. It is very strange to cultivate a saint in a serious way. Moreover, as the Temple of Dawn, which is as famous as these two temples in Ferreton, it is also planning to train its own holy daughter, and even the cardinal has approached Renas in the past and asked her if she wants to become a holy woman of the Temple of Dawn.

Of course, Renus refused.

However, such an abnormal behavior of the three major temples was obviously approved by the gods themselves. Renus also heard some words from Titus, the goddess of blood to whom she was allegiated, and knew that it was because of the major events that affected the entire main material world that many gods had all kinds of frequent actions.

This team, composed entirely of handsome men and beautiful women, accompanied by soul-purifying chants, and under the backdrop of various holy lights and spells, walked all the way from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and then entered the main temple, where Gordon and many other nobles were located.

After a series of complicated ceremonies such as swaying the land of mourning, holy salt baptism, flowers and water, the whole ceremony finally came to an end. Next, it's time to see the opera Anies the Martyrs, performed by the Freiris Chalcon Troupe, and then co-represented by the Church of Freiris City, usually the benevolent and noble Ben. Bishop Anissa, presiding over prayer. Finally, the representatives of the nobility of the city of Fryjus gave a concluding speech, and the group activities of Requiem Day were concluded.

After that, both nobles and commoners returned home for a simple lunch of water and black bread, and in the afternoon they each performed a requiem blessing at home until midnight.

At this time, Gordon had no interest in the upcoming opera, which was said to be the work of several famous drama masters. Vinia, who was attending this kind of event for the first time, was very interested, but he was already distracted, and most of his attention was focused on Ben, who was sitting in the first row. Anissa on the body.

Gordon already knew some of the secrets of the bishop, but not enough. Root. What kind of attitude Anissa has towards Renus, who is exactly the same as the woman he loves, is a key message for him.

Although the cunning and cautious bishop has revealed his identity, he has not been affected by any sternness. According to Mr. Langdon, he was sent to monitor Ben. Anissa's men reported that the bishop had continued to live a very regular and simple life for the past two days, as if nothing had happened.

If the other party panics and prepares to escape, or asks for help from his accomplices, Gordon can also use this to find out more about the Death One Zhi Sect. But the other party was so calm and calm, but it made Gordon feel like he couldn't start. It seems that this Mr. Bishop is very clever and knows that the initiative is in his own hands, and as long as he does not act on his own, he will not show his flaws.

Wait until everything is ready for the Death One Zhi Sect, and the Huiyang Festival will come. Not a single qiē is irretrievable. The cult's conspiracy will be achieved smoothly, and Gordon can only swallow the bitter fruit of defeat.

"What a tough guy to deal with." Gordon said in his heart. He felt like he was standing still. Ben. Bishop Anisa's plan to use it as bait and then find out the main body of the cult has failed. Now that two precious days have been wasted, not only has nothing to be gained, but after missing the best opportunity, the bishop has probably destroyed the necromancy laboratory in his hut.

Without ironclad evidence, even if you want to change your plans now. It is impossible to catch the bishop first.

However, although annoyed, Gordon was not discouraged. After all, he knows it well. He is far more than one wise man in the world. It's normal to eat deflated once in a while. What we need to do now is to look for another opportunity to make Ben. Anissa showed his horse's feet.

Although the stage is full of religious atmosphere and sacrificial spirit, it is worthy of the joint creation of several famous drama masters. Whether it's the actors' performances, lines, or sets. or all kinds of magic sound and light effects, all of which are extremely excellent, so that the nobles in the audience who are accustomed to seeing the world can also watch it with relish.

Gordon, on the other hand, is paying attention to Ben as always. Anissa.

Renus, as an important guest of honor at the ceremony, and the bearer of Daybreak, also sat in the first row, one seat away from Mr. Bishop Anissa. But Gordon took a closer look. Discover this saint-bishop who gives a conscientious impression in everyday life and has never shown interest in the opposite sex. But every once in a while, he would sneak a glance at Renus's side face.

His movements were careful and subtle, and he would not have noticed them if he were not a person like Gordon who was attentive and observant.

"Sure enough...... Although Renus and Ben. Anissa's lover was not the same person, but because of the identical appearance, the bishop could not restrain his affection. This is the normal feeling of seeing things and thinking about people. Gordon said darkly.

Gordon is almost like a zoologist preoccupied with Ben in order to write an observation report on rare animals. Bishop of Anissa.

At this moment, the opera on the stage also reached its climax. In order to save the city of Fryjus, the martyr Anies is ready to sacrifice himself. The actor who plays the lead role sings in a rich and elegant tenor: "Ah, I am willing to sacrifice myself to save this city of suffering, the city of sin, but the city I love......"

On stage, martyr Anies takes off his crude linen robe, revealing his scarred body. The next plot should be a dazzling light blooming from his body, destroying the besieging demons and saving the city. But when the actor took off his robes, the light did not appear, and instead it was a crimson blood light.

The actor of Anies the Martyr swelled rapidly in the light of blood, like a balloon.

Boom!

With a dull sound, the poor protagonist suddenly flew flesh and blood and exploded to pieces.

What's even more terrifying is that the remnants of the deceased's flesh seem to be strongly corrosive, and those actors who were affected by the pond fish on the stage, after being stained with the residue of the deceased, immediately began to blister, pus, and the muscles and skin quickly corroded and liquefied, and finally melted and flowed onto the stage floor.

After a period of silence, the audience recovered from the shock of this terrible scene.

Screams, roars, and noisy footsteps followed. The originally sacred and solemn stage has now become a bloody Shura field.

Gordon though has always focused his attention on Ben. Anissa was one of the first people in the temple to react when he encountered such an emergency.

He keenly sensed the discrete evil source energy in the air, and immediately ordered Venia beside him, "Be careful, it's the Death One Zhi Sect. Let's get out of here first. ”

"Miss Reinhardt, attention!"

Gordon's ears suddenly heard the voice of Bishop Anissa. He looked over and saw that Mr. Bishop was looking at Renus with a concerned expression, and he held up the emblem and blessed her with several protective and buffing spells.

If it weren't for the chaos at the scene, where everyone was disturbed by the sudden explosion of the human body, I am afraid that Mr. Bishop's special concern for Miss Paladin would have brewed a scandal that swept the whole city tomorrow.

"It seems that Ben. Anisar does have special feelings for Renas that far beyond ordinary circumstances, otherwise she would not be so out of shape. Gordon made a conclusion in his mind.

At this time, the magnificent and brightly colored glazed windows on the dome of the temple suddenly cracked one after another. The red, green, and green fragments of glass turned into a torrential rain and smashed down, causing even greater chaos. Immediately after, one Assassin after another dressed in red and gray burqas. Falling from the sky through a broken window.

The shining blades in their hands were as striking in mid-air as death omens.

Guards are not allowed to enter the temple to participate in the ceremony. Therefore, the nobles who held the power of the entire city of Fryjus were as fragile as chicks at this time, and could only be slaughtered by those assassins. Even if a few nobles with good martial arts or knowledge of spells occasionally counterattacked, they would not be able to turn the situation around.

"Let's go." Gordon blessed himself and Venia with protective spells and acceleration spells, ready to flee the place that was about to be turned into a slaughterhouse.

Venia because of Mephisto's divine power in her body. Coupled with the dragon power that Gordon "injected", she could no longer use the power of nature to perform the druid's magic skills, and she couldn't even transform. Now she is compared to ordinary people. Maybe it's just that the body is a little stronger.

In this chaotic situation, what Gordon has to do is naturally to ensure her safety first.

No sooner had the two men gotten up than Gordon heard a familiar scream through the chaotic crowd. He looked up. An Assassin was spotted on the belly of Anna, Nie'er's cousin. Pull out the bloody dagger, and then approach the frightened cousin Raymond.

When Ji'er saw that her cousin was attacked, she screamed in fright at first, but quickly calmed down. After all, she has also experienced life and death crises and a lot of battles, and she is not a noble lady who can only wait to be saved by the knight.

The girl pursed her lips and stared at the assassin in front of her, who had seriously injured her cousin. Her heart pounded, and the screams and shouts of others in her ears seemed to have disappeared without a trace. Suddenly, there seemed to be an ethereal wind blowing around her, blowing her dress and hair.

Source energy began to gather rapidly.

The assassin saw the beautiful blonde girl in front of him. Circles of arcane aura suddenly swung out around his body, and he was stunned for a moment. When the other party pulled out a long sword from the dimensional bag. He came to his senses.

"Mystic Knight?"

The assassin didn't expect that he would be able to encounter this rare profession of "Demon and Martial Arts Double Cultivation", and he was also a woman who was too beautiful to talk to, and suddenly showed a cruel smile.

"Haha, ruining miè rare and beautiful things is exactly what I specialize in. I hate a woman of high status like you the most! ”

Before he could finish his sentence, Ji'er's long sword slashed straight at him. The assassin did not expect that the opponent had a strength that did not match his age, and the sword was so fast and fierce that it was impossible to dodge.

No, the Assassin could only raise two daggers, hoping to block the sword.

But the knight's sword in Ji'er's hand was forged when he was in Bishui City. A sword made of dragon steel by the Iron River Master. Later, when Ji'er returned home, she asked her teacher Savi. Langdon enchanted it with several cold-attribute spells, naming it "Northland Memory" in honor of a trip that changed his outlook on life.

Such a sword can be regarded as a top-grade sword even in the Phoenix family's treasury, and it is naturally extremely sharp. Even if Ji'er hadn't activated the spells on the sword and the additional cold damage, it would have been enough to treat the assassin's two mortal iron daggers as nothing.

Click!

Both daggers were broken through by Ji'er's sword at the same moment, and the Assassin's cheek fell victim to the memory of the Northland.

The face towel split in half on the assassin's face slipped off, and Ji'er kicked the dead body away before she could see the other person's appearance clearly. The purple-black skin and pointed ears undoubtedly indicated his identity.

"Dark Elves?"

"Cousin, be careful!"

Just then, the voice of Count Raymond came.

When Ji'er looked up, she found that two more attackers had surrounded her, one on the left and one on the right. And instead of rushing to attack, they first took a bottle from their belts and slammed it to the ground.

The black-green liquid inside spread rapidly across the floor, making a rapid sizzling sound, and began to bubble in large quantities.

The blonde lady inhaled a little choking smoke, and suddenly felt dizzy, and her strength quickly drained from her body. The various buff spells blessed on the body also began to disappear.

"Oops!" She secretly said bad things in her heart.

At this time, Gordon, who was not far away, also completed the spell. He stretched out his hand, and an invisible giant hand constructed with force field energy flew out, and then grabbed Ji'er's slender waist.

This is the hand of the force field that he has cast after the powerful increase of the spell. This is a three-ring spell that can be considered an enhanced version of the Mage's Hand. Although the spell level is not high, it took a few more seconds due to the use of the Ultra Magic specialty. This spell is capable of moving objects up to twenty kilograms, both living and magical objects, over long distances. After a powerful spell amplification, it is possible to move objects up to 60 kilograms.

If Ji'er were a chubby girl, or wearing armor, I'm afraid she would be overweight.

Fortunately, the Phoenix family lady, who was wearing a skirt and had a slender figure, was easily grabbed by Gordon's magic hand, and then dragged to her side at once, out of the danger of being besieged.

"Miss, although you have improved compared to before, you still have too little combat experience. In this kind of big melee, you must not only deal with the enemy in front of you, but also pay attention to the movements around you at all times, otherwise if you are not careful, you will fall into a situation of being surrounded. ”

"To ...... You have to take care of it! Although Ji'er refused to admit defeat, when Gordon took her hand, she was unwilling to let go. Her large, burgundy eyes looked at the mage, "What are we going to do now?" ”

"Escaped, of course. Keep you and Venia safe before dealing with this mess. ”

"What about Renus?"

"She's fine." After saying that, Gordon also used his instantaneous expertise to bless Ji'er with protection and acceleration spells, and then ran towards the gate. (To be continued......)
