Aurora dismounted from the carriage and entered the temple with two attendants. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Thinking that the sisters in the church must be full of gloom, she slowed down, and after a while, she became a beautiful and graceful saint again.

Entering the hall, the statue in the center is a life-size girl in a long skirt, with a beautiful and elegant face and a dignified posture. Holding a bouquet of roses in both hands, he smiled reservedly, giving people a warm feeling like a breeze.

Aurora prayed to the idol, and the bishop approached, behind her was a tall figure with a face hidden in a hood.

"Bishop of Salsan......"

She was a little puzzled, the bishop was her mentor, she had been with her for many years, and she was extremely familiar. At this time, the bishop did not see the sadness and hesitation on his face, but a deep sense of guilt.

Why apologize? Sorry for whom?

When the man behind the bishop lifted his hood, Aurora's eyes constricted.

It was a tall middle-aged woman, with thick armor and a cold face, which made her completely lose her feminine softness.

On the chest of her armor, she wears a shield-shaped Kem insignia, indicating that she is a paladin. However, unlike the Hadron Paladin, the background of the coat of arms is the stars and mountains, which symbolize the heavenly mountain, rather than the intersecting swords bordered by ears of wheat.

Paladin of the fragrance!

Two attendants reacted instantly, one stopped in front of her, and the other prepared to cast a call for help.

The paladin raised his hand and swung a circle of holy light, which slapped into the chest of the squire who was calling for help like a shockwave, and the squire's body flew out like an arrow and smashed into the wall.

Immediately after that, the palm of the paladin's other hand slashed out of thin air, condensing into a silver thread of holy light and slashing towards the attendant who stood in front of Aurora.

The squire let out a cry of despair, but did not flinch, spell deflection, space warp, refraction, the three pre-prepared spells almost in one go.

Burst......

The three-layer spell barrier is like three pieces of paper, easily torn apart by the paladin's silver thread.

The squire's neck showed a bloody mark, and his body slowly fell to the ground.

The headless neck spurted blood, staining the ground with pools of blood. The head rolled twice on its back and fell to its waist, its hollow pupils meeting Aurora's confused gaze.

"Charlotte ......"

Aurora muttered blankly, then turned her head with difficulty: "Deni......"

The squire on the wall had his chest caved into a large pit, his head drooping, and he was completely silent.

One is the attendant she has been with since childhood, like sisters, and the other is the attendant sent to her by Rowanna, and they have become friends who talk about everything.

In the blink of an eye, they were dead.

"You ......"

She finally understood her situation, turned to look at the paladin, wanted to say something, and then remembered what she had to do.

"Cage of Light!"

With another wave of his hand, the paladin descended a circle of light shields, spinning around Aurora, immobilizing her.

The bishop shouted, "Captain Kota, don't hurt her!"

"Don't worry," said the paladin, "my mission is to bring her back to Ika alive, and I won't kill her." ”

She sneered again: "What will happen after that, you should think about it, why bother to be hypocritical." ”

"I ......"

The bishop bent his back, not daring to look directly at Aurora, and muttered: "Aurora, I'm sorry, the church needs a way out, you are a saint, this is what you should do......"

As she spoke, her waist gradually straightened, and she dared to look at Aurora: "You are a graceful saint, this is what you should do!"

The paladin's cage of light did not last, and Aurora's body began to feel conscious, and she was about to touch the communication ring, but the invisible aura that overflowed from the paladin's body made her envelope in a thick gel like a slime again.

Field......

This paladin named Kota turned out to be a legend!

Kota snorted, presumably disdainful that Aurora still wanted to trigger the Wizard Gear. She put her fingers together and grabbed them out of thin air.

Bang Bang Bang ......

The crunch was incessant, and hairpins, necklaces, rings, waist buckles, cuffs, corners, and toes of shoes exploded in blue or white light, but they didn't hurt Aurora in the slightest.

"That's a lot of stuff," Kota sneered, for a legend, these magical equipment were nothing more than toys.

With another crisp sound, one of the rings on Aurora's hand shone brightly, melting the invisible colloid that enveloped her, expanding into a translucent light shield emitting a luminous blue light, enveloping her whole person, and her figure gradually faded into nothingness.

Kota's face changed drastically, and she scolded angrily, "Damn, didn't you say that she had a normal relationship with her aunt? That legendary magician actually gave her a legendary-level protection teleportation ring!"

The Bishop was shocked: "She's teleporting!

"Failure?"

Kota snorted coldly, "Other legends can't help it, but I'm a legendary judge!"

As she spoke, she drew her sword and flicked her hand, pulling out an electric white glow that struck Aurora's shield.

The shield dissipated, and Aurora's figure became solid, rolling on the ground and hitting the foot of the wall before stopping.

"We need to do it now!"

Kota tugged at Aurora's hair and lifted her up, "Her aunt knows something happened to her, and it's no longer safe here." ”

The bishop said in fear, "Can't you get out of here first and then do those things?"

Kota said disdainfully: "If you don't get the artifact, how can you transform the witch?"

She pulled out a nail that seemed to be magnified countless times, and pierced Aurora's shoulder blade, peeking through her chest, and the countess threw up her head and let out a terrible scream.

After a while, the cry became muffled, then soared, and a second nail pierced the other side of her body.

Aurora fell to the ground, her body twitching, blood dripping from the nails to the floor, the nails glowing white, sealing her powers.

When Aurora recovered from her pain and her vision became clear, she found that the temple was already full.

"Sister Aurora——!"

A familiar voice rang out that shook Aurora's heartstrings, Ariel, daughter of the Duke of Translancia and her closest sister in the church!

There were more than a dozen girls next to Ariel, all of whom, like her, had spikes that forbade divine power.

The difference was that she was lying on the ground, and Ariel and the others were tied to a wooden shelf.

"Bishop......

She spoke, realizing that her voice was weak: "You guys...... Want...... What to do?"

"It is better to care for yourself than to care for others," said a priest she knew in a gloating tone, "Soon your new vision will spread throughout Finn, and by that time everyone will be able to see what a terrible end it is to oppose the noble lords of Rakka." ”

Another priest smiled and said, "I guess the adults of Erika will definitely use the minotaur and the tentacle demon to serve you, and you will be happy until you die." ”

These priests, who had always been courteous and even flattering in front of her, were now extremely happy.

"Look at the way she usually looks at no one, this is her retribution!"

"Stinky bitch, you deserve it!

"I really hope that the adults of Erika will dress her up in the roles she has played, Scarlett, Queen Elizabeth, Sbardax, Princess Freya, and lie on the ground one by one, so that the goblin orcs will roll their eyes and foam!"

Not ——!

Aurora remembered what the half-demon princess Lania had said, and fear swept over her body and mind, mixing with the pain in her chest and back, causing her to spasm again.

The bishop shouted: "Shut up! This is a sacrifice for the blessing of our lord!

Then the voice lowered: "Aurora is sacrificing for our lord, sacrificing for us, you have to be grateful." ”

The priests ate and laughed, but they did not speak.

Heavy footsteps sounded, and Kota entered the temple with a large number of paladins, making Aurora even more desperate. When did these fragrant paladins come and how did they get into the royal capital?

"Let's get started, we're running out of time," Kota said.

A man shrouded in white robes and holding a heavy metal box stood next to the idol, carefully opened the box, and a thick black gas suddenly erupted.

Corrupt Gas!

The bishops and priests retreated in fright, but the paladins remained unmoved.

The white-robed man took something out of the box, which looked like a burning torch, but the flame was black.

He thrust it into the idol, piercing through his back from his chest, and the bronze statue looked like a cork, unhindered.

This is blasphemy......

Aurora watched in horror at this scene, the statue is said to be thousands of years old, and Lady Grace has performed many miracles on the statue, and she saw Lady Grace drop the projection when she was a child. It was on that occasion that the projection of the deity touched her head and smiled kindly at her, and she was made a saint.

I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......

Aurora's tears flowed, and for some reason, remorse filled her heart.

I don't have a faith that is worthy of sainthood......

I should have been more religious......

I should comprehend your will with all my heart......

After the white robe inserted the thing, he let go of his hand and retreated, but he still let out a sharp cry, and the voice was a woman.

Her hand holding the thing emitted black gas, thinking it was stained with the remnants of the thing, but it still didn't disappear after wiping it around, only to find that the black gas was oozing out of the flesh, which made her scream louder.

A paladin drew his sword and cut off her hand, then kicked it away in disgust.

The white-robed man's scream was so high that it almost punctured her eardrums, and she cast a healing spell on herself, avoiding it as if fleeing hell.

At this time, the idol was completely enveloped in black gas, and the crackling sound continued.

Moments later, the idol collapsed with a clatter, and something clanged and rolled on the floor.

It's the bouquet of roses......

The thing kept rolling, like it would never stop, until Kota stepped on it.

There was a click, crumbs flying, and the bouquet of roses changed its appearance.

Aurora couldn't see the details clearly, only saw that the original rose branches had become sharp blades, and the roses had become white, and she didn't know what they were.

Then the thing spilled out of the grease black mud, obscuring its true nature.

"Sure enough, it's the Tyrant's Scepter, it's really unexpected, what the cardinal said about those red robes is true......"

Kota said in a tone of amazement, "The priesthood of the Lady of Grace, an artifact from the god of tyranny in the last era. ”

The elegant priests in the temple were stunned, how could this be?

Aurora shouted in her heart: nonsense!

"Nonsense!"

A priest bravely stood up: "My lord's graceful priesthood is derived from art, beauty, and serenity, and what does it have to do with the god of tyranny?"

"Shut up!"

The bishop rebuked her, and then smiled flatteringly at Kota, "They don't understand anything, they think the canon is the truth." ”

"Art...... Beauty...... Serenity...... Haha......"

Kota laughed, "Pathetic mortals, you know nothing about the gods!"

She held it up in the air and said in a tone of pity, "Look at your gods, what are you disguised with roses?"

There was silence in the temple for a moment, and then the priests let out screams of horror or disbelief.

Aurora also saw that above the blade, there were small skulls.

Kota said disdainfully, "Your graceful lady has received this scepter from the god of tyranny, and has wrapped the fear of tyranny, the beauty of violence, and the stability brought by violence into art, beauty, and tranquility, which is the essence of the priesthood of grace. ”

She tossed the scepter to a paladin: "Do it!"
