Tang En and the others rested for the night and recovered some of their spirits, and on the evening of the second day, Tang En took Marianda, Bruce and two bronze priests, and quietly blended into the Emerald City and entered the temple of the Ice Goddess.

Molda, the goddess of ice and snow, is a pure-blooded moon elf who is both the deity of the elven race and the patron saint of the Hadma Empire.

In that turbulent era tens of thousands of years ago, Bruce, the most famous ranger hero on the continent, lit a divine fire. Bruce and his companions slay the ancient sun god dragon Keldus, becoming the greatest dragon slayer hero of human adventurers of all time.

During his adventures, Bruce and his companions carved out a living space for humanity, establishing the Hadma Empire in what was then a barren land.

After tens of thousands of years of development, the Hadema Empire has become stronger and stronger, and now it is now the three most powerful empires in the human world.

As Bruce's lover, the moon elf Molda, with the help of her husband, also ignited the divine fire, mastered the two cosmic rules of cold, ice and snow, and became a famous ice and snow goddess on the continent.

After Bruce became a god, he mastered the rules of fairness and justice, and although he was the founder of the Hadmar Empire, he was able to treat all races equally.

Therefore, what really supports the powerful power of the Hadma Empire is the mother of the empire, the ice and snow goddess Molda.

In the Hadma Empire, the Church of Molda was also the official church, and among the hundreds of millions of people in the empire, more than 80 million people believed in the goddess of ice and snow.

The Church of the Ice Goddess is also the largest church in the Rios plane, and its power in the mortal world is also very strong.

For tens of thousands of years, the believers of the Hadma Empire have provided 96% of the power of faith for Modar, relying on a steady stream and a large number of faith power, the power of Modar has become stronger and stronger, and it has approached some ancient gods who survived in ancient times.

Ever since Modar ignited the fire, her church has operated the Hadma Empire as a basic entity.

After tens of thousands of years of preaching, for Modar, the Hadema Empire is already a part of her flesh and blood, and it has long been closely linked, both prosperous and lost.

The base camp of the Ice Church moved out of the eastern forests tens of thousands of years ago, leaving the homeland of the elves and entering the city of victory and glory, the royal capital of the Hadmar Empire.

Within the Hadma Empire, more than 90% of the strength of the Ice and Snow Church has been gathered, and every province of the Hadma Empire has gold-level professionals from the Ice and Snow Church.

The same is true of the Ice Temple in the Emerald City, where not only the gold-level paladin Burton, but also the more powerful fifteenth-level priest Edgar is in charge.

Edgar's lifespan is close to two hundred years old, and he is a veteran gold-level professional. Although he is stronger and has a higher status, in the eyes of the upper echelons of the Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess, he may not be able to compare to the promising Holy Samurai Burton.

Because of the leadership of Lan Qi and the others, Tang En and the three of them came all the way to the main hall of the Ice and Snow Temple.

Father Edgar was kneeling on the ground and praying, he looked at Lan Qi and said, "Why didn't the Burton knight come back, and who are the three of them?"

When Lan Qi saw Edgar, her eyes instantly turned red, and she took small steps, gently threw herself into Edgar's arms and cried: "We met the orc army, the vampires also colluded with the orcs, and a vampire duke attacked us. Burton chose to use the charismatic skill in order to protect us, and has returned to the arms of the goddess. ”

Burton is the shepherd of the goddess, and he will return to the embrace of the goddess sooner or later. Edgar kindly patted Lan Qi on the back and wiped her tears.

"But Uncle Edgar, we will never see Burton again from this day. Lan Qi said sadly with red eyes.

Lan Qi was adopted by Edgar as an orphan girl.

Edgar joined the Ice Church as a teenager and left no descendants in the world. Over the years, he has adopted countless homeless orphans, some of whom have good qualifications and have become professionals in the Ice and Snow Church, and Lan Qi is one of those people.

Because of this, Lan Qi has an excellent relationship with Edgar, which is why Edgar will send Lan Qi to accompany Burton. It is just to let Lan Qi make some merits and gild, and recommend her to enter the City of Victory and Glory, so that the big shots of the Ice and Snow Church will take a fancy to her and have a better development prospect.

Edgar comforted Lan Qi and fell back to her knees to pray to the Ice Goddess.

In less than a few minutes, a pale blue light appeared on his face, and his face was serene, as if he had ascended into the kingdom of heaven.

It was only after Edgar slowly recited the scripture three times that he opened his eyes. There was not a trace of fluctuation on his face, and there was no sadness or joy in his face.

Edgar lovingly touched Lan Qi's head and said, "I just entered the kingdom of the goddess and met Burton.

Burton happily told me how exciting it was that he had been chosen by the Goddess to be an oracle.

As the shepherds of the goddess in the mortal world, we are not only to spread the faith of the goddess, but also to spread the idea of the goddess to the world.

Burton is a good paladin who has been practicing the ideas of the goddess, and although he has left the main plane, his soul will be eternal. ”

Lan Qi took out the frost grass from Burton's space bag, carefully handed it to Edgar and said: "Thanks to these mercenaries for protecting us along the way, otherwise Mario and I would definitely die at the hands of the orcs, it doesn't matter if we die, but without the frost grass, our mission in the diocese cannot be completed." ”

Edgar carefully took the frost grass and said to Marianda, "I know you, you are the witch of the Dragon's Horn Mercenary Regiment, born from the Adele family in the Floating City. You've always wanted this magic plant in your heart, and if you do, I'll give you the Frost Grass to repay you for protecting Lan Qi and Mario. ”

Hearing this, Pastor Lan Qi's face changed instantly, and he grabbed Edgar's arm and was about to speak.

Edgar waved his hand, and the old man frowned and smiled, "Since the establishment of our Ice and Snow Church, we have never owed favors to others. ”

"It's not a kindness, the paladin saved us too, it's just a gesture. I do need frost grass, but we'll find it ourselves. I believe that as long as I don't give up, I will definitely find the frost grass. Mary Adan raised an eyebrow and said.

Marianda is a sorcerer with a clear grudge, and although she is a woman, she also shows a bit of greed for money when facing Donn.

But she is a very proud person at heart.

Burton chose to sacrifice himself to protect others, a kindness that Marianda has always remembered in her heart. So there was no way she could ignore Burton's last wish and take the frost grass back into her hands.
