Chapter 527: Partners in Justice
North of the Holy City, it's a place that rivals Nolan's former Squirrel Street.
This was the place where the paupers from all over the world lived, and in the time of the Pope, these paupers should have been driven away by the Holy Army, but they were left here at the behest of the Holy Maiden.
A temporary ghetto area was created outside the walls of the Holy City.
Messi hid in the corner of the Holy City, watching the hooded Herolia in the distance.
Now that the season in the Holy City is approaching the end of winter, the city is actually far less prosperous than Nolan, so these marginal poor people are basically on the verge of enduring cold winter and hunger.
"That's fine."
Herolia's hand overflowed with a pale golden glow, and after healing a pauper's frostbite, she gave him a kind smile.
Maybe in this cold winter when death is approaching, meeting such a 'good Samaritan' is no different from meeting a god.
But in fact, many poor people did pious around Herolia and prayed for blessings.
A long time ago, Messi should have been very relieved to see this scene, but now Messi has a strange feeling in his heart.
She had gained so much knowledge on the caster's forum, and had learned so much about the Holy Religion that even the Messiah himself could not be naΓ―ve enough to pray to the gods.
Thinking of this, Messi shook his head and banished the strange thoughts from his mind, and looked around with his 'third eye', looking for those who tried to work against Herolia.
However, Herolia's rescue operation was a success, and when Herolia quietly left, Messiah saw many poor people kneeling in the snow and praying to the heavens.
"This recording was a success."
Herolia arrives next to Messiah, and the camera floats around her and falls into Herolia's hands.
"Lord Heloria, do you really care about those who are suffering, or are you just trying to record a picture of your almsgiving to them?"
After hesitating for a moment, the Messiah asked another question that might have angered the Holy Maiden.
"Huh? Mess: As far as I've ever known, you don't ask these strange questions. Herolia looked the female knight up and down: "It seems that the magic net has indeed changed you. β
"I ...... I'm sorry, but it's me... Too many questions. β
When Messi said this, she realized her mistake, and she shook her head, not understanding what was wrong with her.
"It's nothing, I help the poor people just to shoot those pictures and gain the power of their faith, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't be interested in coming to the slums."
Herolia's straightforward answer made the mess stunned for a moment.
"Only when human beings receive alms when they are suffering will they know how to be grateful and have faith." Herolia looked at the particles that had gathered in her hand.
This glimmer of light came from the power of faith of the poor people, and the Messiah could not see these rays, but for Herolia, although they were not numerous, they were much more solid than the faith of the inhabitants of the Holy City.
"I should have revealed it to you, Messi." Herolia's golden pupils exuded a dim glow, "The longing and belief of the believers in the Holy City in God is my strength, and I need these things, so I will do whatever it takes to obtain them, even if I cooperate with demons." β
The Messi listened to Herolia's words, and the latter sentence of 'cooperate with the devil' was enough for her to stand on the side of the Pope in the past, but the current Messi was not as innocent as before.
"But Lord Heloria, you still saved the poor people." Messiah said.
"Of course, they are the source of my strength, and I will be distressed if I die." With a smile on her face, Herolia took Messi's hand and said, "Don't think too much, it's time to go to the next place." β
"Wait a minute, Lord Heloria."
But at this moment, Messi suddenly pulled back Herolia, who had not taken a few steps, and the sword hidden at her waist was also unsheathed at this moment.
Messiah's sword slashed through the arrows from above, but the arrows were followed by a blade of magical power, and Messiah's armor and arms were instantly sliced by the blades, and blood gushed out of them.
"Lord Heloria, we must get out of here."
The whereabouts of Heloria's outings this time are completely confidential, but it is clear that the assassins have already known about Heloria's outing.
"Former Inquisitionists?" Herolia looked at the arrows that landed on the ground, with a slight gray mist wrapped around them, "This is the second time today. β
"The second time?"
Messi didn't expect the Inquisition attack to come so quickly.
"I'm okay here, Messi go catch him." Herolia said softly.
"But......" Messi saw Herolia's expression, which was completely different from the previous time with the poor, it was a coldness that made people feel dangerous.
"Understood."
After Messiah accepted Herolia's order, a pale golden glow overflowed from Herolia's hand and poured into Messi's body.
At the moment when the wounds on his body were healed by the light, Messi felt an unknown power surging within him, his body was so light that it was about to float, and even the armor was attached with a large number of pale gold inscriptions.
"This will save you from the mental attacks of those Inquisitors, I have given you enough strength to go to the Messiah." Herolia said.
Messi nodded, and then made a light leap to the rooftop.
The female knight relied on her 'third eye' to instantly find the location of the attacker, and there were two people on the other side......
With the blessing of Herolia, it took him nearly half an hour to inflict heavy damage on the other man, capturing one of the attackers at the cost of being mortally wounded himself.
Messi returned to Herolia with the attacker, bound by the magic of the Light System.
The attacker was wrapped in a tattered cloak, and when the Messi pulled the cloak open, he was exposed to the air by an elderly man over 100 years old, his face covered in filth, looking like a member of the slum.
"Take off your disguise, Inquisitor." Herolia said as she stared at the attacker with pale golden pupils.
But the attacker did not answer Herolia, but only let out a strange laugh...... Herolia sighed slightly, and suddenly snapped her fingers, and a translucent figure suddenly appeared on her.
"Lord Herolia, that's... Succubus? Messi looked in disbelief at the undead floating behind Herolia, who was definitely the mortal enemy of the Light.
"That Chaos Demon inspired me, what's it called? Psychic attacks work well against the Inquisitor. After Herolia said this, she covered her ears, and the banshee behind her let out a terrible wail.
When the attacker heard this, he covered his ears and struggled on the ground, and it didn't take long for him to become a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties.
"It was an adventure, I didn't expect to meet you here, Bishop Kobler."
Herolia looked at the middle-aged man who fell in front of her, he was one of the bishops of the Holy Religion Country, and even had the status of the legion leader of the Holy Religious Army, but it was a pity... He was also a judge.
"Defeated by your friend's apprentice, is it those crazy thoughts that slow you down?"
The "......" attacker did not speak, and lay on the ground in silence.
"I don't have time to make small talk with you, what the hell are you guys planning in Holy City? Where are you hiding? Tell me right now. Heloria said.
Herolia's question made Messi stunned slightly, and she remembered that Herolia should have completely cleared the Inquisition......
But with the power of the Inquisitors, it is very simple to hide in the Holy City.
The assailant still didn't answer, only let out a mocking laugh.
"Lady Heloria, you ......"
Suddenly, Herolia snatched the sword from Messiah's hand and stabbed it into the arm of the assailant who had fallen to the ground, but the other man kept his mouth shut and did not let out a scream.
"I forgot that you guys didn't even feel good when you became monsters." The light in Heloria's pale golden pupils was a little oozing, and she lowered her voice and said, "What about the memory?" Bishop Coberon, although you didn't tell anyone else, I know very well that you married a wife in the western part of the Holy City fifteen years ago, right? There are two children, a boy and a girl, and the girl seems to want to join my choir. β
"Lady Heloria, you!"
Finally, the assailant roared out with an angry voice, but Helolia suddenly turned her sword, and the sound of flesh stirring echoed through the alley.
Messi watched this scene in a daze, the justice in her heart should have made her stand up to stop Hloria from doing this, but ......
"I know that you Inquisitors are planning to sacrifice the souls of the entire people of the Holy City! Tell me how this plan works! Where is the core of the sacrificial circle! β
Herolia's next words made Messiah stunned, and she looked at Herolia in front of her with some confusion, and the whole alley was filled with a hysterical atmosphere.
"Even if I tell you, I'll die." The assailant struggled for a moment, and it was only then that Messi noticed a dense magical inscription around his neck: "It's all over!" There is no hope! It's all to blame on you stupid guys for unleashing it... This city, including you, me... No one can escape! β
The assailant let out a maniacal laugh as Herolia raised her sword in her hand with a blank expression.
"Holy Maiden!" Messi tried to stop Herolia, but instead of killing the Inquisitor, she knocked him to the ground with the hilt of her sword.
"Take him back to the underground of the cathedral, I remember that the torture chamber hasn't been demolished yet." Herolia wiped the blood from her hands, and she noticed Messiah's shocked expression.
The knightess still couldn't believe what she had just been through.
"Messiah, do you want to choose to save him alone, or do you choose to let the people of the entire Holy City die together?"
Herolia sensed Messiah's thoughts and asked as she looked at her wavering eyes.
"My duty... It is to protect you, Your Highness, and the people of the Holy City. Messi muttered to himself, and then suddenly something sounded, looked at Herolia and asked, "But Lord Heloria, you don't really care about those people, do you?" β
"Of course I care, I've already said it, they are the source of my power, if they are all dead, where can I find so many devout believers in the God of Light?"
Herolia tossed her bloodstained handkerchief to the ground and put on a warm smile again.
"But for now, heal your wounds, Messi."

Nolan, Hearthstone Tavern.
"Did you use perfume?"
Ciri, who was eating dinner, suddenly raised her head and looked at Qiao Xiu who was standing next to her.
How could this girl's nose be as sensitive as a wild beast.
Qiao Xiu felt that he could no longer smell the perfume of the Fallosi Flower on his body.
"No, it's Carolly's child, Mrs. Nishizawa is going to stay in Nolan for a few days, you should know, right?" Qiao Xiu said very frankly.
"I met her today at noon while playing Minecraft." Ciary said that when she got here, she instantly became alert, but the girl still took the initiative to change the topic: "Speaking of which, when is the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" going to start? β
"You're going to love that movie script makes me very... Amaze. β
Qiao Xiu looked at Ciri's eyes as if she was about to burst into starlight, and she was sure that she was also looking forward to the release of "The Shawshank Redemption".
"Although I can't guess what the movie is trying to say, the plot is really interesting." Ciri said.
"Tomorrow, I hope to finish filming before the next Nolan portal opens."
Qiao Xiu gave the meat food in his dinner to Ciri, and the magic strengthened the human physique in this world, such as Ciri, a girl with such a good magical talent that she was inhuman, belongs to the type that can't eat fat no matter how you eat.
"The next time the portal opens, I've discussed the Oscars with my mentor today." Ciri said suddenly.
"What are you talking about?"
The Oscar, Grammy, and Pulitzer awards mentioned by Qiao Xiu before are just a concept, and I haven't thought of any good way to implement them at present.
Because there are so few movies released now, and there are very few actors who are well known to the audience.
"My mentor said it could be held in conjunction with the Skrillona Awards ceremony, which would also raise the profile of some young people."
"It's the weirdest idea I've ever heard."
Jossiu knew that the prototype of the Scotterona Prize was the Nobel Prize on Earth.
It's strange that the highest awards in the sciences and the highest awards in the arts are being given together.
"But it can still be executed, I'll find a time to ask the Sage Council."
Qiao Xiu felt that this was a great opportunity to take his entertainment culture to the next level.
