Chapter 10: The Rebellious Sage

Hearing the sound of the horn throughout the royal city, the second prince Lothric smiled slightly, he needed to overthrow his father, who had gone mad, and then take control of the city in his hands.

After waiting for a long time, the black hand Kamui who was in charge of delivering the news returned, but what he brought back was not good news.

"The sages have closed the door of the Great Library, and Her Highness the Holy Maiden of Gercide has been imprisoned by them in the attic of the library."

The second prince raised his head, the emaciated pale face under the black hood trimmed with gold rimmed looked a little gloomy, and his hand slowly moved to a bunch of angelic charms on his chest, which was given to him by his sister who inherited his mother's power and established the angelic faith in the city, although the angelic faith has not been publicly recognized by the three pillars in the royal city for its legitimacy, but it has always been safe, but now, the sage who has been teaching himself has imprisoned his sister.

At the entrance of his dormitory, he could see the attic in the distance at a glance, he pondered for a while, and looked at the three strong knights beside him, like the winged knights who had solved the pus of human nature at the city gate before, these three were also the same shape, but their armor was not silver, but shining gold, and they had a pair of wing-like ornaments on their backs, like a pair of wings, and beside these three winged knights were some priests who carried holy bells or held long staffs.

"Go and rescue Her Highness, and then ...... Take her out of the royal city. The second prince thought about it, and finally decided to keep Ge Cide away from this place, "Then, let me see what the students left behind by the tutor want to do." ”

When the horn sounded, Zhang Lin turned on the stealth mode and followed the knights who had gathered towards the city wall all the way to the high wall.

However, when he came to a tower, he was stumped into a battle between the Karim Church knights with round shields on one side and a group of mages in white robes and short staff on the other.

Karim is a country with a strong white faith, and they also have a church on the high walls of Lothric, and the fire-fighting woman who presides over the fire ceremony was also trained by Karim and sent to Lothric.

Historically, the priesthood and magicians have often competed against each other, and King Osloes is precisely a white cult powerhouse, although he used the resources of the royal library to gain the support of the sages, but the king has always been wary of them, as can be seen in the knights of the Praetorian Guard who basically have an ashlar ring to resist magic, and the church that is also supported by the king is also a thorn in the sage's side.

The sages, like the second prince, had long been aware of the king's problems, from the study of heresies that opposed the sages, the forbidden knowledge of the white dragon, to the later taboo experiments that were not noticed by many people, and the king had been regarded by them as an object that had to be eradicated.

"Abominable mage!"

The knight with the shield roared angrily at the sage who swung his staff in front of him, but the people around him were impaled by the spear formed by the condensation of blue crystals.

Only the large library of Lothric still recorded crystallized magic, and even the Behaim Academy, which specializes in magic, did not have such magic-related scrolls, so the knight quickly judged that the other party's identity was none other than the sage of Lothric, one of the three pillars of Lothric.

"We need to get out of here and protect the clergy."

The holy flower shield in the knight's hand depicts a blooming blue flower, an ancient White Sect treasure nicknamed "Magician Killer", but this knight is the only one present who has such a treasure.

Several others held their shields that had been crumbled by soul crystals, and most of the benches and wooden cabinets in the church were smashed into sawdust by magic, and from time to time someone's shield broke, and finally the magic tore a terrible wound on the body.

The clergy waved their bells, and the white light enveloped the wounded knights, slowly healing their wounds.

The commotion caused by the sage in the church attracted some of the Lustric knights who were about to go to the dragon training ground, and several knights rushed in with the soldiers in the ranks, but they were confused for a moment when they saw the situation in front of them.

The Guardian Knight of the Church immediately shouted, "The sage has betrayed the king!" ”

With the shouts of the Shield Knights, several mages quickly attacked, taking advantage of the fact that the Loser Knights had not yet reacted.

Under the attack of crystallized magic, several soldiers were killed instantly, and the knights of Lothric joined the warband.

A shot of misguided crystals exploded around Zhang Lin, and the flying gravel almost made him show his figure, but he was inevitably affected, and Zhang Lin turned around and left directly.

But it wasn't just here that the battle took place, as Zhang Lin passed by a wall, the corpse of a knight fell from the sky.

This dodge made Zhang Lin have to be exposed, and several soldiers who heard the movement here saw him suddenly appearing, and raised the crossbow arrows in their hands one after another.

The golden light flashed, and the arrows shot were bounced off, because Zhang Lin's sudden appearance reminded these soldiers of the invisible magic used by the sage who attacked before, but the situation didn't seem quite right at this time.

"Who are you?"

The knight holding a two-handed sword shouted at Zhang Lin, his helmet had fallen from the previous battle, and although there was no blood on his body, the knight was clearly injured, as could be seen from the unnatural posture in which he held the weapon.

Zhang Lin didn't say much, but a piece of golden light spread towards the other party, making the knight's injuries heal quickly.

"Are you the priesthood of the Church?"

Obviously, Zhang Lin's behavior had ruled out the other party's speculation that he was a sage in the Great Library, although it was a little strange that Zhang Lin cast a healing miracle without using the Holy Bell, but he didn't think much about it.

Just as the knight with messy hair wanted to ask Zhang Lin to stay and support, he saw Zhang Lin's figure disappear in front of him quickly.

"When did the priesthood run so fast?"

In one of the towers, the priest shook the bell to envelop the wounded soldiers around him, and soon the groans of pain subsided.

Only two of the nuns who followed her were left in the sage's surprise attack, and the soldiers and knights had lost so much that they didn't even have time to notice when the sage used stealth magic to get closer.

"This is a coup d'Γ©tat, the sage has betrayed us!" The main priest's face was full of anger, "Is it His Royal Highness the Second Prince who controls the sage, or is it that group of mages who controls the two princes?" We had to rush to the big stacks as soon as possible. ”

At this moment, a soldier ran in and shouted: "We have been attacked by the knights stationed in the Great Library, and the captain has been killed!" ”

"What the hell are those sages doing!?"

"It must be that His Royal Highness the Prince is being controlled, and the Prince was still summoning us just now!" A blue-clothed knight raised the sword in his hand, "Gather the soldiers and knights, let's assemble outside the Great Library and rescue His Royal Highness the Prince!" Fight for Lothric! ”

The priest still had the heart to say something, but at last she shook her head, and she set off with the only remaining guards and nuns, and this situation happened again before the fire was spreading, which made her almost crazy.
