"I am not from the Dark Temple, and I have no intention of being your enemy, so let me go."

Lin Xiao is not a person who will compromise.

But at this moment, for the sake of Eglace and Liliana, he had to lower his profile.

Reinhardt shook his head.

Another Templar also arrived here, and the four of them, in a four-cornered formation, firmly surrounded Lin Xiao in the middle.

"I'm sorry, but this doesn't match our orders, I'm afraid I can't let you go."

The ninth seat's face was like water, and he said calmly.

From Reinhardt's point of view, since the Pope was determined to completely eradicate the Dark Temple this time, the more powerful the transcendent within Agarela was, the more he could not let go.

It has nothing to do with whether he is a person from the Dark Temple or not, evil, will be evil wherever he is.

What's more, Lin Xiao is still a bloodthirsty asura!

"Good!"

Lin Xiao nodded, and her voice was unusually crisp.

Immediately afterward, his figure disappeared in place, appearing behind Reinhardt at the same time.

A little cold light was sacrificed, and the twin blades of the stars and moon in his hand, rolling the sword wind, roared down from the top of his head, straight through the darkness, and slashed towards Reinhardt's head.

"Dang!"

There was a crunch.

I didn't see any superfluous movements on this ninth seat, but the broadsword that should have been inserted into the ground appeared behind him, just in the back of his head.

The fatal slash was blocked by the broad sword body, and the magic power was agitated, blowing a huge cloud of dust all around, but it could not shake the broadsword for half a minute.

Reinhardt also turned around with incredible speed, and landed a heavy palm on the blade of the sword in front of him.

In an instant, the Broadsword Holy Light was magnificent, and the huge force was transmitted along the blade of Xingyue's sword to Lin Xiao's body.

He sprang to his feet, a slight pause in midair.

Then, at a faster speed, it rushed straight towards Reinhardt.

Lin Xiao didn't have time to waste, he couldn't afford it, so he was eager.

The dense attack, under the addition of the double blades of Dieluo Yi and Xingyue, almost turned into an afterimage.

Even the three A-rank Templars not far away couldn't see the trajectory of the blade at all.

In previous battles, relying on the advantage of speed, Lin Xiao has always been unfavorable.

But in the face of Reinhardt, who is at the peak of the A-level, this level cannot shake him at all.

Reinhardt didn't care about most of Lin Xiao's attacks at all, and let the holy seals supported by the powerful magic power force them hard.

Only a few of them beckoned towards the fatal point that he would sideways to dodge or block with his broadsword.

Therefore, even if his speed really couldn't keep up with Lin Xiao, this stormy sword dance didn't cause him any substantial damage.

After turning his head sideways again to avoid the cold glow that went straight to the front door, in this slightly slower sword curtain, Reinhardt's keen eyes immediately saw a flaw.

He covered his head with a broadsword, and with his left hand wrapped in armor, Huo Ran pierced through this sword shadow, and a punch fell heavily under Lin Xiao's chest.

The powerful force made Lin Xiao's body involuntarily fly backwards.

The moment the distance widened slightly, the broadsword slammed into the ground.

The dazzling holy light, like a lake dripping into the surface of a drop of water, vibrated with brilliance, radiating to the surroundings in response.

And among them, Lin Xiao, who bore the brunt, was naturally the one who endured the heaviest.

His body was like a kite with a broken string, and at a faster speed, he smashed into the dense forest, until he knocked down more than a dozen thick old trees, and then he lost his strength.

Lin Xiao held the stone beside him with one hand, twisted the semi-circular trajectory and squatted on it.

"Ahem—"

He coughed lightly, and the saliva he spit out was already mixed with a few strands of blood.

Behind him, three Templars blocked his way, as if they were afraid of him escaping.

Reinhardt carried his broadsword and paced through the messy forest.

He was so calm that even the armor on his body still shone brightly.

"You're very good, you don't have enough magic power, but you have such a powerful fighting ability."

He could naturally perceive it, purely in terms of magic power, Lin Xiao's strength was far from reaching the peak of the transcendental, but it was able to force him to be unable to fight back for a while.

Such a fighting talent, even in the Templar with many talents, Reinhardt has never seen anyone who can do it.

However, simple appreciation cannot be a reason for him to let Lin Xiao go, but it can fight for him a fair showdown.

"Stand down, it's my fight."

He stopped the three Templars from attacking in groups.

Then, the broadsword in his hand pointed at Lin Xiao's head and said:

"Come on! Give you a chance to die in battle. ”

Lin Xiao wiped the corners of her mouth, her face was indeed not very good-looking.

Reinhardt's confident look, Lin Xiao can understand his confidence.

Losing the power of Miss Knight's protection and the reduction of his magic power, it is indeed a bit wishful thinking for him to cope with the ninth seat at the peak of the A-rank.

The gap in magic between the two has an obvious gap.

Reinhardt was able to block most of his attacks even with the Holy Seal alone, even if he used his skills.

However, for the sake of Miss Knight, he had no choice!

As soon as Lin Xiao's footsteps moved, the sword under his hand was like a dragon, and the dazzling purple light pierced the darkness again, and the whole person shot out like an arrow off the string.

……

Under the dark altar of the temple—

Eglace almost thought there was something wrong with her ears.

"Y-What did you just say? Yes, I misheard! ”

There was a tremor in her voice.

Liliana behind her, her eyes suddenly opened to the limit, and among them, the pair of black pupils couldn't stop beating.

Lily knew that her sister had not heard her wrong, and what that person said was indeed:

"Kill my sister and join us!"

The High Priest took the trouble to repeat it again.

He doesn't have that patience for most people, but Eglace is an exception.

That powerful spiritual power, born to be a priest, the power left by the crown of Thatchis, this girl can effortlessly grab more.

So, he said persistently:

"Kill Liliana, and you will have a new life, supremacy, unrivaled power, and the wealth of a country that rivals the riches of the country, you will have it at your fingertips! Trust me, you won't regret your decision today. ”

Eglace froze in place, her eyes hollow, and her translucent pupils completely lost their former brilliance and completely dimmed.

She didn't understand, after working so far, why did things turn out like this?

Kill Lily?

How is this possible!

What happens after you kill them?

The so-called status, power, and wealth, even if she can really get all this, but at that time, what will be the meaning?

For Eglace, this is indeed what she has been striving for.

However, status is to elevate her sister's identity, strength is to protect her sister's safety, and wealth, only if Liliana can live a comfortable and good life, then it can be regarded as wealth!

His cute and well-behaved half body is the most precious.

So, why?

Why?

Eglace couldn't understand it, and at this point, she didn't want to understand it anymore.

She stiffened for a moment, then took Liliana's hand and turned to walk out.

"Priest, I will not and cannot do this, but if it does, then I would rather give up the trial."

The girl said persistently.

But her words did not attract any attention, but a chuckle.

"Huh."

"Give up the trial? Do you remember, there is always only one result of a failed trial? ”

The feminine voice, with a hint of mockery, mercilessly shattered Eglace's illusions.

She suddenly understood that from the time the people of the law enforcement team picked her and her sister away in advance, the whole thing was like a script that had already begun, and the initiative was completely out of her control.

Eglace took her sister's arm and began to tremble, and she finally began to be scared and panicked.

If you fail the trial, the only end is death!

If she refuses, both herself and Liliana will die here.

Aegler had no doubt about the veracity of the statement.

Even the man on the altar aside, each of them in the law enforcement corps here is much stronger than himself.

So, she couldn't figure it out even more.

Why?

Why does it have to be yourself?

For the first time, a ten-year-old girl felt such despair, as if endless darkness was engulfing her.

"Why do you have to do it? I'm willing to give everything I have for the temple if I need to, and I can do whatever you want me to do if I can keep Liliana alive! ”

She cried out without hesitation, and even fell to her knees for it, begging bitterly.

It's just that in this group of people, it seems that there has never been a feeling of pity.

That's how they all came.

"This is the rule of the crown of Thatchis, the ritual of the Dark Temple, and only the sacrifice of the souls of those closest to them can be favored by the Dark God."

"So, if there are two people who pass the trial, then one of them will be consecrated in the end."

"You don't have to feel guilty, everyone here has done the same thing, and you will be our companion, not an alien."

"Eglace, you will understand in the future that such a sacrifice is completely worth it, and the power of Sachis's crown is far beyond your imagination!"

The voice of the high priest was full of bewitchment.

As if to eat away at Egles' spirit, he deliberately slowed down his speech and slowly induced.

He looked at Eglace expectantly, although it didn't matter what Eglace did or didn't do so far, they would definitely "help" Eglace to complete the final ritual.

It's just that the high priest would prefer that she can do it herself!

Eglace sat on the ground as if her soul had been drained.

The pale lips opened and closed, but he couldn't say a word.

What a cruel ritual it was, and she could not understand it as a human being.

Companions who obviously rely on each other to make it all the way in the trial, but before they are about to reach victory, they have to fight to the death?

Did they really do this kind of thing?

Eglace's gaze swept across the audience, and there was no shame in those gloomy eyes, and she looked at her with confidence.

All right!

In her current environment, Eglace couldn't withstand those cruel gazes.

Liliana was her mother's sister, she couldn't do it.

Although she had promised again and again that she would protect her sister, the strength of the high priest made her unable to even raise the courage to resist.

The gap is too big, so big that a look will make you tremble.

However, the good news is that there are no options......

Also, the only option.

Liliana knelt down as well.

She leaned against her sister's side and looked at the dejected Eglace, tears flowed uncontrollably.

Some of it is because of fear, but more because of heartache.

The little girl had never seen her sister look like this.

In my impression, her sister has always been heroic, high-spirited, and almost omnipotent.

I'm really a useless little waste!

This time, is Lily dragging her sister down again......

She cried silently, but forced a smile on her face, and her little hand picked up her sister's pale face, and said softly:

"It's okay, it's okay, sister, Lily is not afraid at all!"

"Lily has not been afraid of the dark since she was a child, and every time you go out, I can stay in a dark room all day."

"I heard Granny Yolanda say that death is nothing more than immersion in boundless darkness, so Lily is not afraid, but this time the time will be a little longer."

"Lily is not afraid of death, sister, you know, what I am most afraid of is actually to cause you trouble."

She laughed, laughed, tears rolled down her cheeks, but more and more.

Liliana gently stroked her sister's arm, counting the scars on it.

"I know that since I was a child, I have caused you a lot of trouble."

"This is three years ago, I knocked over the kettle, and my sister burned it to protect me."

"This was two years ago, someone broke into the house, and my sister blocked two swords for me, almost cutting off all the bones."

"This is a year ago, when I participated in the trial for the first time, my sister was scratched by the thorns and grass on the edge of the cliff in order to hold me, and after the toxin infection, I barely recovered in half a year."

"Here, two months ago, the monster in Lily's body injured my sister."

She stroked her sister's lower abdomen, which had a fist-sized wound on it, and looked terrifying.

"My sister has always protected me since I was a child, but Lily can only cause trouble."

"If, if I can help my sister, even if I exchange Lily's life, it will be worth it for me!"

"I ...... I really don't want to trouble my sister anymore! ”

"This time, let's replace Lily to protect you!"
