The journey to the Lion King Capital was extremely enjoyable. At least for Gray.

Almost everywhere he went, Gray was greeted warmly.

The children wanted to ride on Gray's horse.

Parents want to be blessed by Gray.

The men revered Gray's prowess.

The women admired Gray's heroic appearance.

The story of him and Irene is sung as a legend. Yes, Gray and Irene.

This made Shelley's mouth bulge with anger: "Obviously I am Gray's fiancée!

......

A voice in the distance said, "Jealousy." ”

......

Gray was surrounded by flowers, and everyone sang his praises and praised him.

Irene stood right next to Gray.

A child asked Irene, "Sister, will you marry a paladin?"

Irene was stunned for a moment, then turned her face to look at Gray. I found Gray busy high-fiveing the children, and I didn't hear the question at all.

After a slight hesitation, Ireen whispered, "I don't know." ”

......

A voice in the distance said, "Vain." ”

......

"Did you follow the paladin when he fought?" asked Paz, a young girl.

"Of course, I'm his best friend. Paz sneered, "Well, do you want to hear more stories about paladins, the kind you can't hear anywhere else." ”

"Of course. The girl smiled affectionately, reached out and tugged at Paz's belt, then leaned back, pushed open the door behind her, and retreated into the house.

Paz stepped along.

......

A voice in the distance said, "Lust." ”

......

"Are these two knightly servants of the paladin?"

"No, I heard that they are the adopted son and daughter of a paladin. ”

"Wow! No wonder they wear the same style of armor as the Paladin! Will they inherit the title of Paladin?"

"Fool. The title of Paladin is not hereditary. Paladin, though, has a lot of other titles, and that's enough. ”

"The paladin already has Miss Irene, I wonder if these two little paladins are engaged?"

A bunch of aunts surrounded Jones and Dora.

At this moment, Jones's mood is: I want to die, I want to die, I want to die!

......

A voice in the distance said, "Melancholy." ”

......

The black cat was eating the food that Gray had thrown into his armor and that the townspeople had brought to him. Then there was a long burp. When I turned my head and saw that there was still a lot left, I was simply lying on the food, and I was overjoyed.

"I like winter! Food doesn't go bad in winter! Hahahaha! I want to lie down on food and sleep! Sleep until next spring!"

......

A voice in the distance said, "Gluttony and laziness." ”

......

Count Gruglu, who had already gone up to the hotel, spread out the map and looked at it carefully, and discussed it with the entourage beside him.

"What do you think Benedict II means when he says there will be new fiefs? The Bessier family has obtained a new fief, so will our Gruglu family have it? This is a good opportunity. As he spoke, Count Grugru's brow furrowed slightly.

......

A voice in the distance said, "Greed." ”

......

"Get out of here!" Hals shouted as he pushed through the crowd and shouted, "Lord Duke and Lord Paladins have to hurry tomorrow! What do you guys want to do? Don't delay their rest!"

The inhabitants reluctantly retreated, and Gray was a little overwhelmed.

Irene advised, "Halls, you can't do this. ”

"No, that's how it should be, Lord Duke!" said Hols angrily, "The most important thing for us is to go to the lion king to be enthroned, and not to be watched like monkeys by this group of uninformed people here!"

......

"Anger and arrogance. The voice in the distance whispered, "I haven't finished counting yet, the nine sins have all been completed." It wasn't easy for this Lich Paladin to put together the Nine Sins in his ranks. What does he think?"

"So, it's easy to fix?" another voice asked.

"No, it's not easy. It should be said that it is not easy. ”

"Why?"

"Sin spreads like a plague. If you get along with greedy people, you will become greedy, and if you get along with angry people, you will become angry. Although this is a team full of holes, you see that he has made up nine sins, but he has no sin on himself. ”

......

In the distance, Gray gently pulled Hall away and whispered, "Halls, I don't think we can do this. The reason why people look forward to us is because they respect us. The title itself is an honor bestowed on us by the people, and we treat the people indifferently for the sake of honor. This is not right. ”

"Yes, you're starting to evolve into a magic stick!" the black cat whispered.

"This is what I saw in the Bible last night. Gray replied excitedly.

"Didn't you read the Bible several times?"

"Yes, but last night I had a new insight. ”

"Oh, thank goodness. Maybe one day I'll hear you singing hymns in my armor. The black cat said helplessly.

Halls was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and could only say, "Do as you command, my beloved Paladin. ”

Then salute respectfully, step back, and stand aside.

The crowd cheered. This is indeed what they imagined the paladin to look like.

......

"Look, he really doesn't have any of them. Clean as a child. How did they find such a lich?"

"It was really unexpected. But it is also said that the nine sins, the lich first eliminated lust, gluttony, and laziness, and only six sins remained. I have never seen even melancholy and jealous lichs, vain, greedy, angry, and arrogant lichs, but not many. Could it be that the Lich is inherently closer to the Divine Faith than to humans? So what are you going to do?"

"It's difficult. We have also degraded paladins in the past, but without exception they have used lust. Humans hold love very high, and even the Holy See can't do anything about them. This became the most easily shaken part of the paladin's faith. It also gave us a chance. In fact, the Pope no longer dares to let paladins stay outside of the Holy See, after all, we are familiar with it, and there is nothing they can do. But in front of him was a lich, and he didn't even have the possibility of lust. ”

"So what? Are you ready to give up?"

"Nope. I see it as a challenge. Tavia, I just need a moment to think about it. In our long life, we need a pastime, and the fall of the Paladin is undoubtedly a good pastime. At least that's what I think. Besides, didn't you say that in the worst-case scenario, as long as his identity is revealed, I will complete the task. ”

"Yes, Zeda. ”

"So, I'm going to do it. ”

As night fell, the members of the party had returned to the hotel. Only a few guards were left to take turns outside the gate. The two demons hiding on the top of the distant mountain finally slowly revealed their figures.

Yes, two demons.

The herald demon known as Tavia is a woman. Fire-red skin, long, fiery red wavy hair, with a proud figure, wearing a black tight-fitting leather jumpsuit. There are a pair of large, disproportionate fleshy wings and a long, thorny tail at the end.

Known as Zeda, is a male demon. Bald head, with two large claws on the top of his head, and the same red skin as Tavia. It's a little darker, though. Slender figure, wearing only a pair of black trousers. By the moonlight, you can clearly see the strong muscles on his body. It also has a pair of large fleshy wings, but it has no tail.

Like the angels, they have two pupils in each of their eyes, but not silver, but as red as their skin.

In terms of appearance, they are all handsome. But if you talk about dressing up, it's a bit of a killing Matt. Of course, demons obviously don't need to accommodate human aesthetics.

"His guardian angel has returned. Zeda whispered.

......

Sure enough, a bit of crystal slowly fell from the sky, floated in through the window of Gray's room, and then slowly grew larger, and finally stretched out, turning into an angel and appearing in front of Gray.

It's Catherine.

Gray was sitting at his desk reading a book, and he craned his head and said, "Does the Holy Spirit have any new will?"

"No, it wasn't the Holy Spirit who called me. Catherine shook her head: "There's bad news and good news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Good news!" Gray said, raising his hand.

"The good news is that, thanks to your support, the church reform in the Duchy of Beshear has been confirmed to be a success over the past few months. This is the greatest achievement we have achieved in the kingdom of Isaac in the last few hundred years. Commoners, the Holy See, the nobility, all support it, it's not easy. Very thorough Reformation. The Holy Spirit recognizes and approves of your contributions. ”

"Really?" said Gray.

"Yes, really. Before you were just a good knight, a newly canonized paladin. Now, you're a good paladin. ”

"Yay, I'm one more step toward the goal of a great knight!" exclaimed Gray.

The black cat on the side sighed and looked at it with satisfaction.

With an angel as a guarantor, a lich running wild on the path of faith in the Holy Spirit doesn't seem so bad now. It's just that the agreement is a bit of a pitfall. As long as the identity is revealed and the crusade is made, the Holy See will immediately change its face.

Of course, I hope that day never comes. It's a bit difficult. After all, the lich said forever, and it really was forever.

"It's time to hear the bad news. Catherine said.

"Okay, I'm up for the challenge!" Gray said as he flipped over his chair, sat on it straight, clenched his fists, and said earnestly.

"This challenge may have come a little early, a little big. Catherine reluctantly said, "The bad news is that the smooth implementation of church reform has angered Hell. And, we have every reason to believe that your identity has been revealed. They will soon send the devil against you. Maybe right outside the door. This is not surprising, our intelligence is not always faster than theirs. ”

"That's it?"

"Yes, that's all. ”

"That's to be expected. Gray said earnestly, "The moment I decided to believe in the Holy Spirit, I was ready to fight the devil!"

"But they don't use force against you, they tempt you and distort your faith. Many of our paladins have fallen because of this. Now, it's likely that they've set traps waiting for you in the Lion King's capital. It shouldn't be beauty, but it's worse, we can't even guess what they want to do. ”

"No matter what the trap is, I will not fall!"

"I believe in you. Catherine replied with a smile.

The night was getting deeper, and everyone was already asleep. Including Path, who went out to fool around, has also rolled back.

Only Gray was left awake, sitting at his desk earnestly studying the Bible, receiving education in Catherine's most fundamental sacred faith and preparing for the challenges to come. And, of course, sat Jones and Dora...... These two little vampires are being "re-educated" in search of salvation.

A lich swooped down on the embrace of the light without hesitation, and it seemed so strange to both angels and demons. But it is precisely such a strange thing that will warm people's hearts. will make Catherine want to help him with all her strength and create a miracle. One in the eyes of the angels, is a miracle of miracles.
