Erin's breath faded away, but Gabriel and the Knights of the Round Table remained where they were.

They looked at each other dumbfounded, and for a moment neither of them knew what to say.

Irene's words had already stunned them. After all, as a saint, she usually looks like a glacier on her face, and no one can see her like an ordinary person, let alone hear her heart.

This was the first time they heard the voice of the Holy Maiden, and it was also the first time that they realized that the Holy Emperor and the Holy Maiden were not of the same heart and mind as everyone thought.

And that's what makes them shake.

Everyone knows the purpose of coming here, and they all know what will happen to the mainland after they go out.

After all, they are all upper-level figures of the Holy Light Church, so they will know more about the inside information than others.

Especially Gabriel, who is the deputy director of the Holy Light Inquisition, he can be regarded as one of His Majesty's closest confidants.

Following the Holy Emperor for many years, he was well aware of His Majesty's thoughts. And what happened after the recovery of Adema's halberd, His Majesty the Holy Emperor also secretly revealed it without saying anything.

War.

Start the War of Empires.

Let the Holy Light be sprinkled all over the world, let all the pagans convert, let the whole world be united, let all races believe in light and goodness, and there will be no more strife.

This was already a sure fact, and it was also the idea of all the upper echelons of the Empire of Light, but just now, it was overturned by a word from the Holy Maiden.

No war, no remorse of the marriage contract.

This is an answer that no one can imagine, because no one in this world believes that Her Royal Highness, the embodiment of goodness and beauty, would be willing to marry Viscount Roy, the second son of the waste, who was lying in the mud pit of Brand and bathing.

"Big... Adult ......"

Carmen opened her mouth slightly, breaking the silence.

"Her Highness the Holy Maiden, she ......"

His voice was a little hoarse, and it seemed that he still hadn't really asked for the shock in his heart.

"Isn't she really going to tear up the engagement?"

Hearing this, the haze on Gabriel's face became a little heavier.

"When have you ever heard of His Highness acting without believing in his words?"

Carmen looked horrified.

"But His Majesty the Holy Emperor means to let His Highness the Holy Maiden take the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract, and then he can justifiably declare war on the Dark Empire!"

"I don't need you to tell me!"

Gabriel gritted his teeth.

"I know a lot more than you do. ”

Squinting slightly, he looked at the dark corridor that Irene had walked through.

"I grew up watching His Highness, so I know His Highness very well. No matter how small a matter is, Her Royal Highness Erin will not change her original decision. ”

His gaze was deep and long, and Gabriel's face was unusually solemn.

"Her kind of personality is very similar to His Majesty the Holy Emperor. ”

Hearing Gabriel's words, Carmen swallowed hard.

He looked around at the expressions of the people around him, and then said with a slight trembling,

"Deputy Judge, what should we do now?"

"How?"

Gabriel let out a long breath.

"Now that His Majesty the Holy Emperor is gone, Her Highness the Holy Maiden is still the highest authority here. Moreover, the contradiction between her and His Majesty's thoughts is definitely not something we can control. So all we need to do now is follow Her Highness to get the Halberd of Adema and complete the initial mission. As for the national war and the marriage contract, it is still up to Your Majesty to decide, and we only need to listen to the final order. ”

Carmen hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously,

"Then does His Royal Highness know about this kind of thinking, does His Majesty the Holy Emperor know, do we need to report to her after we go back?"

"How do I know that. ”

Hearing Carmen's question, Gabriel smiled bitterly.

"So that's what worries me the most. ”

Slowly shaking his head, the bitterness at the corner of his mouth slowly spreading.

"Whether His Majesty knows it or not, we are in a dilemma. Think about it, if you don't report it, then who will bear the charge of deceiving Your Majesty? But if you report it truthfully, not only Her Highness the Holy Maiden, but even His Royal Highness the Holy Emperor will definitely have other thoughts about me. You say, 'What should I do?'

When they heard Gabriel's words, their hearts were heavy.

They knew very well that although Gabriel was talking about himself, who among those present was not involved? After all, everyone had heard the words of Her Highness the Holy Maiden, and they all knew what His Majesty the Holy Emperor meant, so the problems faced by Gabriel were also the same as those they faced.

"Forget it, don't think about it yet. ”

Feeling the solemnity of the atmosphere, Gabriel sneered.

"Let's take one step at a time, it's imperative that we get the last piece of Adma's halberd first. ”

Turning, Gabriel walked forward without hesitation.

"Hurry up and keep up, Your Highness's breath is already far away from us, don't let Your Highness wait. ”

When Gabriel was seen leaving, everyone was stunned.

They immediately put away the decadence and worry on their faces, and quickly followed Gabriel.

The corridor is deep and the road is long.

The Palace of Evil Spirits didn't seem to be big on the outside, but when they walked inside, they realized that the space here was far beyond their imagination.

The scale and floor area of this palace can almost be compared to the palace of the royal family of the Empire of Light.

Gabriel led the crowd to chase after Irene, but at this moment and a half did not catch up with her.

It seemed as if she had discovered something, so she didn't slow down and wait.

Feeling Erin's breath with his mental power, Gabriel gradually lifted his heart.

Because he knew that Erin made such a move, it was likely that he had tracked down the traces of the fragments of Adema's halberd.

"Hurry up, Her Highness seems to have discovered something. ”

With that, Gabriel quickened his pace. And the twelve knights of the round table behind him also felt the seriousness of the situation at the same time.

More than a dozen people galloped away, and light and shadow roared by.

Suddenly, Gabriel's expression froze slightly.

Because he felt that Erin's galloping steps stopped.

"Her Highness has stopped!"

Gabriel's face sank.

"It seems ......"

"What?"

When everyone heard Gabriel's words, they couldn't help but be shocked.

They all knew why Her Highness would stop, because there was only one reason.

"It's come to an end, Your Highness may have stood at the door of the main hall, we're hurrying up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted the power of light in his body and galloped away.

And the other twelve Knights of the Round Table are not far behind, after all, everyone is only at the seventh-order peak of the power of light now, so no one can be much faster than the other, even if you are Gabriel at the nineth-order peak, you can only endure it now.

However, this seventh-order peak is not trivial, and it is also one of the top powerhouses in this world. With this kind of strength, the speed can be imagined.

After a moment's work, more than a dozen people saw Erin standing in front.

I saw her standing straight in place, her serious eyes seemed to be thinking about something.

"Your Highness!"

Gabriel flew forward, and immediately stood in front of Erin.

"Please be careful. ”

As Erin looked, a quaint door stood quietly in front of her.

The doors were rusty, and the handles were covered with dust.

This door seems to have been sealed for a long time, but the hollow carved pattern on the door panel can still be seen clearly.

"This is ......"

Gabriel looked at the door in front of him, his face slightly hesitant.

"The main hall of the Evil Spirit Palace?"

"Yes. ”

Erin nodded faintly.

"The last fragment of Adema's halberd is behind this door. ”

Hearing this, Gabriel's pupils constricted suddenly.

And the twelve knights of the round table behind him also held the shield and holy sword in the storage ring in their hands.

They looked at the gate as if they were facing a great enemy, and the vigilance around them had already been raised to the highest.

In a flash of brilliance, a giant long sword was held in Gabriel's palm.

He looked cautiously at the door and reached out to push it open.

"Vice-Judge. ”

Erin stopped Gabriel, her eyes flickering with a cold light.

"Please wait. ”

"Your Highness?"

Tilting his head, Gabriel looked at Erin suspiciously.

"What's wrong?"

Reaching out to the pattern on the door, Erin said softly,

"Don't you think this pattern looks familiar?"

Gabriel followed Erin's fingers, and the ancient pattern gave him a faint sense of familiarity.

"Huh?"

"This pattern ......"

Turning to look at Erin, Gabriel looked confused.

"How does this pattern seem to be ......?"

With a sigh of relief, Erin nodded faintly.

"Let's go, maybe once we get inside, everything will be clear. ”

Erin stepped forward and stood in front of the door, then took a deep breath.

Raising her hand, she knocked softly on the ancient door.

"Excuse me......"

"Is anyone there?"
