In the secret room of the Temple of Commerce in the royal capital, Timmy Osquim bared his teeth at a face in the light screen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"That's my investment! Whether the territory is ruined or Richie is dead, it means that my investment has failed! That's what you want to see!

The face put on a helpless expression: "But the current risk is beyond the scope of what you can bear, if you want to use the power of the clan, it is not your investment, but our investment." ”

"Even if it's your investment, I always have the most important share! Fein is now facing a huge turnaround, and my father! The business federation is also facing a huge crisis of transformation!"

Xiaolongnu slapped the table, exuding an expert temperament that made people subconsciously bow her head: "Change the pattern of always eating fat meat and gnawing bones in the branch, at this time!"

"We should fully support Theresia's war and help Theresia defeat the Divine Court! Even if we can't do this, as long as Hadron becomes independent from the Divine Court, the original exclusive general agency system will become a regional direct sales system! Hadrang's business, our Hadron branch will do it ourselves!"

"Hmm...... We're really talking about it," the face shuddered, and the long tentacles pulsed like strings, "but what does this have to do with that Richie Preor?"

"Uh...... This ......"

The little dragon girl froze for a while, her eyes rolled several times, and she stomped her feet and said, "He is my investment advisor! Without him, I can't see the direction of investment!"

"Huh?"

Her father was surprised: "You actually believe in a human being?"

Then the face changed: "Could it be that?"

Her father looked excited, "Damn, what is Mirror Stone doing, and let a human kid snatch my daughter!?"

"Father's ——!"

The little dragon girl also roared: "So you don't believe that I can accomplish anything at all, right!?He's really just my investment advisor!"

The tentacles on that face trembled even more: "Bah! Your aunt was abducted by a human bard!

The little dragon girl trembled angrily: "Don't make excuses, am I stupid to the point of being like my aunt?"

Her father scratched the bridge of his long nose with his long nails: "Are there any smart girls in our Osquim family? Your prophetic power is much stronger than your aunt's. ”

"So you guys......"

The little dragon girl grabbed it out of thin air with both hands, as if she was twisting her head.

"Forget it! I'll do it myself, not on you!"

She glanced at the young guard standing next to her, motionless like a stone sculpture: "And the mirror stone, he is my personal asset!"

The little dragon girl cut off the communication and left in a huff.

The guard waved his hand and turned on the light screen again, bowed his head and said, "Father." ”

The face pressed his nails against his forehead, looking quite distressed: "Hmm, your sister really wasn't seduced by that kid?"

The guard nodded: "Yes, I haven't seen any signs of that yet, and Miss really wants to rely on him to do something." The human boy was shrewd, and it wasn't for that reason that he was close to the young lady, in fact he ......"

The guard's cheeks twitched slightly: "It's using the young lady to fulfill some of his ambitions, he's the patron of a new god." ”

"Eros, I know this", the face sighed, "The key to Hadlang's situation is not Teresia and the Divine Court, but the king's side." Behind the king is the Night Lady, but they are still ignorant. ”

"We don't know what the Night Lady and the King are up to. But the prophecy tells us that if they succeed, the main plane will not be the right place for us to stay. There is also a fierce debate in the clan about where to stay. ”

"Wait......"

Xiaolongnu's father furrowed his thick eyebrows, and his golden eyes narrowed into a line: "He really doesn't have that kind of mind for your sister?"

"Yes," said the guard, "to be honest, he treats the young lady more as an apprentice than a partner. ”

"A mere mortal!"

The face was furious: "How dare you not be tempted by my daughter of Soglons-Osquim!

The guards were speechless, and they would be furious if they were really moved......

The little dragon girl's father said very seriously: "He can't let him die until he kneels under Timmy's skirt and cries and begs Timmy to reward him with a little favor, and then Timmy stomps on his face with his high heels!"

"I see!"

The guard, who is also the elder brother of the little dragon girl, Jingshi, confirms that he has received clear instructions.

..................

Tangus, the cityfortress where the Loyal Divine Court branch is located, the protective barrier has crystallized in many places, and although the flowing holy light is still being repaired, the speed of repair can no longer keep up with the speed of destruction.

Magical weapons are concentrating on bombarding the most crystallized areas, and at the current rate, it will only take a few more days for the barrier to completely collapse.

On the ridge far away from the fortress, Sylvie said to the armored Valkyrie-like Theresia: "Your Highness, you only forced back the two legends yesterday, and your injuries are not healed, so leave the assault to me?"

"We're running out of time......"

Theresia's face was a little pale, and she frowned and said, "Although the clergy have not wavered, more than two thousand of the local professionals of Hadron have left the army and returned to their hometowns. ”

"That's your magnanimity, and you don't care about their sin for leaving the army without permission!"

Sylvie said with a cold face, obviously disagreeing with the princess's decision.

Theresia said, "Their minds are no longer here, and it's useless to force them to stay." Moreover, for such a large-scale undead natural disaster, Hadron also needs them. At the very least, it can stop the undead from wreaking havoc everywhere and protect more people. ”

"The Scourge of the Dead is a conspiracy of the Divine Court Headquarters! It is an attempt to disrupt our offensive! The Headquarters has colluded with the King's ......."

Sylvie was furious, and when she said that she had shut up, Theresia was silent.

She couldn't publicly deny it, or she wouldn't be able to motivate her subordinates to continue fighting. She knew very well that the undead natural disaster should have nothing to do with the headquarters of the Divine Court, but her father launched his long-planned conspiracy, taking advantage of the perfect opportunity for him to requisition the extraordinary forces in the country.

No, it's not an opportunity, her previous break with the headquarters of the Divine Court was also secretly promoted by her father. The explosion in the Greywood Mountains to the west of the kingdom, the deaths of Bishop Rune and the priests of the Headquarters were most likely the work of his father.

But she can't just go back!

She didn't know the details of her father's conspiracy, but she knew her father's goal, and it wasn't something that could be solved by returning with a large army.

"We must capture the Valentine Cathedral as soon as possible! Only by taking the cathedral and letting the Shield of Kem recognize me, can the branches of the kingdoms of the Divine Court confirm that I am correct, and will resolutely draw a line with the headquarters and rebuild the Divine Court with me!"

Theresia clenched her fists and said, this is why she resolutely gathered her army and went north to attack the kingdom of Valentine.

Valentine Cathedral enshrines the Shield of Kem, the supreme artifact of the god of protection, and only those who have the approval of Kem can pick up the shield and activate divine powers.

Before Theresia obtained the oracle in Hadron, not all members of the divine court knew about it, and even if she did, because Bishop Rune also obtained the oracle, his influence was limited. And if she gets the shield of Kem, then the direction she adheres to will be recognized by all the branches, there is no doubt about it.

However, her troops encountered stubborn resistance in the branch of the Principality of Tangus in the Divine Court, and even the nobles of the Principality of Tangus who had joined her side were a little shaken in their confidence.

Theresia couldn't wait to completely dismantle the protective barrier and prepare for a direct assault.

"In the name of Kem——!"

Theresia turned and drew her sword, shouting to the elite gathered behind her, "Forward!"

Hundreds of horned eagles and griffons soared into the air, carrying the dead to the city. On the ground, the large army launched a fierce offensive, covering this commando team, which was expected to have a mortality rate of more than eighty percent, and directly penetrated the barrier.

The Tangus branch of the Divine Court, the Kem Church, the tall temple door collapsed with a bang.

The elites of the Divine Court gathered in the hall collided violently with the elites led by Theresia like two tides of divine power.

The clergy shouting the same slogan, wearing the same emblem, and using the same magic spells are fighting like crazy.

There is no mercy in such a fight, and there is no elaborate battle etiquette between nobles.

Both sides regarded each other as a heretic, and not only did they leave no room for attack, but they did not regard the fall of their opponents to the ground as the end of the battle. Unless the opponent is decapitated or even the head is blown away, only in this way can a high-ranking priest be completely killed.

The other party also has a legend, and King Theresia is the king. The two realms were pushed and superimposed, and the holy light violently spished, swayed, and burst in every inch of space, shared by the breath of the heroic clergy of the two sides. The surging and chaotic force shattered all the windows in the hall, and the weak walls began to crumble in pieces.

When Theresia's chest was pierced by the opponent's legendary sword, her sword also pierced the opponent's forehead.

Looking at the stunned gaze of the legendary paladin, Theresia whispered, "Your faith is not strong enough, you shouldn't keep it, sister." May you ascend into the kingdom of God of our Lord and receive eternal peace. ”

The beautiful face of the legendary paladin was turned to ashes by the divine power of Kem, and the headless body fell, and the fighting spirit of the enemy was suddenly shattered, and they fled one after another.

"I'm fine! Find the control center of the enchantment as soon as possible! Search every corner!"

Theresia drew the sword from her chest, shouting despite the blood gushing from her wounds.

There must be something unusual about a division of a principality, and the enchantment is so strong.

It didn't take long for Theresia to descend into the underground space deep beneath the temple surrounded by her subordinates.

In the huge circular space, dozens of naked girls are fixed to the wall.

They smoked pitch-black smoke, their limbs spread out, their heads tilted, and their thick pillars running from their mouths to their lower bodies.

"Witch!?"

Everyone exclaimed, and the bodies of these girls squirmed slightly, letting out a low, muddy moan, and the scene was like the sacrifice of an evil god.

Theresia frowned, "They're extracting the witch's power to support the enchantment!?"

Such a scene, she and many high-ranking clergy have seen it in the Loyal Sanctuary of the Fragrance Headquarters, and this is how the witch was purified.

"No! this isn't a Purifying Witch!"

She immediately discovered the anomaly, and the bottom of each "human pillar" was connected to the strange magic circle in the center of the space. In the center of the circle is a stone platform, in which a long sword with a simple shape is inserted, revealing only the hilt and half of the sword.

The others also saw it: "This is creating a witch! The headquarters has degenerated to the point that it is even more evil than the devil!"

The black qi emanated from the long sword, and was transported by the magic circle to the girls, "smoking" them into witches. Then purify the witch and smelt it into divine power.

The enchantment is so strong because of these witches supplying divine power.

"That's ...... Not really, right...... That's the Sword of Kem!"

An older paladin shuddered as he looked at the sword in the center of the circle.

"The Sword of Kem!?"

"Wasn't it lost in the last era!?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

The shock of the paladins and priests was indescribable.

The true name of the Sword of Kem is the Sword of Loyalty, and it is the same artifact as the Shield of Guards.

Kem was the god of order in the last era, lost the sword of loyalty in the god war, and in this era, he became the god of protection.

The Sword of Loyalty is not a simple artifact, it is the equivalent of the Loyalty Priesthood that Kem once had.

"It's no wonder that a small principality branch has such a powerful garrison, but how can the sword of Kem exude corrupting divine power!"

It was difficult for everyone to accept the fact that this corrupted artifact, which was exactly the same as in the canon, could be the Sword of Kem!?

Except for one person, Theresia.

"I think I've found the cause of the fall of the Divine Court Headquarters, and I've understood what I want me to do. ”

She stepped firmly into the circle, ignoring the obstructions of her subordinates.

The blonde girl was covered in blood, and her snow-white face was extremely calm.

She gripped the hilt of her sword, which emitted black gas, causing her subordinates to exclaim.

The light erupted from her, flowing like mercury, enveloping the hilt of her sword, and inspiring a dazzling white light that was difficult to look at.

By the time everyone let go of the hand covering their eyes and their eyesight had returned to normal, Theresia had already pulled her sword out of the stone seat.

The black qi of the long sword was being expelled by the holy light, and the whole body flashed with sharp cold light, and Theresia held the long sword high, the light wings behind her stretched out, and the holy song was swirling.

"Praise be to my lord!"

"Praise Teresia!"

"Theresia, the embodiment of our Lord!"

Everyone fell on their knees and praised the miracle before them.

"The return of the Sword of Loyalty shows that we are on the right path!"

Theresia scanned the crowd and uttered an angelic voice: "This is not the end! There will be fools and stubborn people who refuse to recognize the sword of loyalty, and we must go on!The day when we get the shield of the guard, the heresy that entrenches in all parts of Raka and Finn will disintegrate! At that time, our lord will bring down the peace, happiness, and ...... that the people need Order!"

All the followers rejoiced, and this was indeed a great prospect that had seen the light of day.

The Sword of Loyalty is purified, the circle is invalid, and it is up to Theresia to decide what to do with these witches.

The subordinate said, "These witches have been created, and we should continue to purify and offer food to our lord." ”

Theresia looked at the girls who had lost their minds and were left with worm-like consciousness, and sighed lowly.

"They are innocent, and our Lord will not accept the fruit of the tree of sin, no matter how sweet it may be. ”

The thick eyelashes drooped, covering her heart: "Let them rest in peace, without pain...... Rest. ”

The subordinates saluted in admiration and took the order to leave.

Trethia held the sword of Kem in her hand, felt the vast divine power coming from the sword, and said secretly, "Ellie, I will save you, soon." ”
