687th single-edged straight in
Lu Xiao, who was floating in the sky above the city, could see very intuitively that Archbishop Aiteri's simple and heavy soul was mixed with discordant colors.
The believers in Cain, the god of the earth, were like their gods, mild-mannered and slightly lazy, which was at odds with the excitement displayed by Archbishop Atri at this time.
It can be seen from the reaction of the people in the audience that they are not interested in the archbishop's impassioned speech, and their eyes are full of confusion and doubt as they look at the church square.
Lu Xiao could even faintly hear the whispers of the breeze blowing from the ground.
"What the hell is wrong with the archbishop? Why is there suddenly such a fanaticism about war? ”
"Hey~ A rash invasion of other countries is definitely not what the god of the earth wants......"
Suspended in mid-air and observing for a moment, Lu Xiao confirmed that there was also an enchantment over Els City to protect against foreign enemies.
Since he decided to make a quick decision, Lu Xiao didn't bother to look for the loopholes in the enchantment.
Taking out a hooded cloak from his personal space and putting it outside the tight battle armor, Lu Xiao tidied up the hood and rushed towards the city under the sweep of the wind.
"Boom!"
A golden sword qi slashed above the barrier, and a sharp alarm suddenly sounded in Els City, and the people of Els City, who were discussing in a low voice, looked up in horror.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
After several rounds of collisions, the city's defensive barrier, known as the Wall of Immobility, was struck out by the sword qi and cracked.
Archbishop Aiteri squinted his eyes as he stared into the sky, and from the golden light that had not yet dissipated, he saw the cyan wind elemental surrounding the invaders.
"The Land of the Wind is coming! Get ready for battle! ”
As the archbishop sent his troops to two separate battlefields, the defenses of Els City were unusually empty.
Lu Xiao observed from a high altitude that the total number of defenders of Els, the capital of Nuoda, was less than 1,000 people, and most of them were gathered around the church square to protect Aitri's safety.
"Click!"
Before the paladins of the church could react, the Xuanyuan Sword finally broke through the god-level barrier that Cain, the god of the earth, had set up with his own hands.
This was something that even Archbishop Atri did not expect.
In the stereotype of the inhabitants of this world, only the gods can defeat the gods.
"Could it be ......" Archbishop Atri's heart was finally stirred up by the fanaticism: "The wind god Lesona is attacking in person?" ”
"How is that possible?!"
A middle-aged nun in complicated clothes beside the archbishop was stunned and asked, "Aren't the god of wind and the god of fire both sitting in the front-line military camp on the border of Xiaerki?" How is it possible to bypass the water god's defense zone and enter the territory of the Cult? ”
The afterimage falling from the sky caused the crowd of onlookers near the square to scream in terror, and the paladin, who was in charge of maintaining order, did not care about the safety of the people, and the tense guards were beside Atri, ready to respond to the enemy's attack.
The rapidly falling figure suddenly disappeared in mid-air, and everyone, including Atri, froze at the same time.
"Don't move~"
The leisurely words that came from behind made Atri's hair stand on end, and the other party slipped behind him without noticing.
"Guards! ...... Guard"
"No need to shout."
Lu Xiao patted Aiteri's face with the spine of the Xuanyuan Sword: "I have set up a mirror space nearby, with the strength of those paladins under you, there will be no time before you want to enter." ”
"You ......"
Atri's eyes rolled, as if he was thinking about how to get out quickly.
"Oh? Interesting. ”
Lu Xiao saw Atri's expression through the reflection of the boundary of the mirror space: "I thought you were just being controlled by the mind, but it seems that you still retain a very complete ability to think. ”
Atri was stunned and asked, "Me?" Mind control? What are you kidding! I'm ......."
"Shhhhh
Lu Xiao stretched out his left hand and grabbed Atri's head from behind, and the gorgeous papal hat slipped off his head, revealing short flaxen-colored hair.
"Uh...... Ahh ”
The purifying power that Lu Xiao injected into Atri's soul clashed with the yellow spirit fragments of that were absorbed in his soul.
The source of pollution is gradually swallowed up by the pure and colorless purification power, but the process is ...... I'm afraid it won't feel good.
Atri was feeling terrible at this point, as if someone was slicing his soul with a blunt knife bit by bit.
As the contamination was purified, Atri's thought circuits gradually returned, and he finally remembered his recent abnormal state.
Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain from his soul, Atri struggled to keep his body under control and not fight back.
"That's it."
After Lu Xiao withdrew his left hand, Atri, who was covered in cold sweat, immediately knelt on the ground with no strength.
"Why did I make those strange decisions?"
Atri, who had regained his senses, looked at his hands blankly, and the memories of the period he had been controlled had not been lost.
The contamination left in his soul by an unknown presence only misled and catalyzed, amplifying the thoughts that Atri had buried deep in his heart.
"Flies don't bite eggs, you should reflect on why you are so easy to get hit."
Lu Xiao dispersed the mirror space around him, and the enraged priests, nuns, and paladins immediately rushed up, protecting Atri, who was half-kneeling on the ground, behind him, trying to block Lu Xiao's further attacks with his body.
But Lu Xiao had no intention of attacking at this time, he shrugged his shoulders and took the initiative to take two steps back.
"Wait."
Atri put his right hand on his forehead and stood up with the support of the nun and the paladin: "You stand down first, this man ...... No, this god came out to help me and help our country. ”
"Gods?!"
As the archbishop of Cain, the closest god to the earth, and the spokesman of the gods, Atri knew the characteristics of the gods better than anyone, and he was sure that the strange visitor who suddenly broke into the city of Els was a god.
The church members who were full of question marks couldn't turn their brains for a while.
The god of wind and fire are both female, and only the god of water and earth are male.
The water god Elian will definitely not be able to leave, and stay in his own country to guard against Lesona and Yadwiga, so ......
"My God?!"
"No, it's not."
The pain from his soul gradually subsided, and Atri waved his hand to signal everyone around him to step away.
"He is not one of the four gods, so you stand down first, and I will entertain this lord in the name of my god."
……
"So, you don't know how you got polluted?"
Atri smiled wryly and nodded, "I'm ashamed, but that's the way it is." ”
"It must have been caused by that sudden serious illness, but I can't figure out where the source of the illness came from."
In the archbishop's courtyard deep in the cathedral, Lu Xiao touched his chin thoughtfully.
There is no need for Atri to lie at such a time, which means that the other party has let him fall for it without knowing it.
'Is the pollution beyond mortal perception really a threat to stepping into the realm of the gods?' ’
