Chapter 225: Hermit

Unaware of Salian's astonishing power, Polyak finished praying and slowly straightened up, his eyes shooting straight at the demon king in the air.

And this seemingly ordinary gaze was the divine light restrained, only to hear the ascetic shout, both hands pushed up, gushing out an incomparable light power "Holy Lord Heavenly Demon Surrender Curse" to attack Salian.

Seeing the light magic attacking, Duke New Mark only stretched out his right hand and blocked the surging energy with the ability to control the secret arts. Polyak, who had no success in one blow, also rose into the air, approaching the Demon King at an astonishing speed. The two went on hundreds of rounds of offense and defense at breakneck speed.

In close-quarters combat, Salian's subtle moves, which he had practiced for more than a decade, were certainly much better than Polyak, who had never practiced any advanced fighting moves and fought only on instinct. Duke New Mark kicked the dervish in the mid-abdomen with one final kick, knocking him to the ground.

Taking advantage of the gap in the man's strength, he saw that the Duke of New Mark threw out the three-pointed claw shield hanging on his left arm, knocking down all the dervishes who surrounded the carriage and crushing their heads. The three of them, with an unknown fluid flowing from them, and sharp teeth with brains and stumps on them, returned to Salian's arms one by one.

"Ahh

Salian replied with ease: "Oh, I know you are very angry, but alas, you can't overcome me!"

Before Salian could finish speaking, he appeared behind Polyak in an instant, and the three sharp teeth on his arm shield slammed into the dervishe's heart.

The monks of the Holy Mountain Hermitage Retreat knelt down to worship the Holy Lord five times a day, and then removed the time for self-harm cultivation and recitation of scriptures, so the practice of body martial arts was naturally less, so Polyak was unable to respond, so he had to gather all the mana energy on his back to meet the attack of the claw shield. Although the attack power of the light magic is weak, the defense power is really good, and there was a sound of gold and iron, and the three claws did not penetrate the body of the dervishe.

But the power of Salian's claw was so strong that Rao is Polyak's divine protector also fell forward, spitting out a large mouthful of blood. Duke New Mark took advantage of the victory to pursue, attacking several times in a row to take his life.

At this time, Polyak, who was at a disadvantage, rolled and crawled to avoid the attack, and when he saw the corpses of his comrades lying all over the ground, he knew that today's task could never be completed.

"Hateful Demon King, I have written you down, and I will take your head next time. He rolled away from Salian and said hatefully.

"Hehe, you can leave this cruel sentence in hell! I won't let you leave alive!"

Unfortunately, the Elder Polyak was accustomed to running away, so he rolled to the carriage with a false move, picked up the corpse of a parishioner and threw it at Salian.

Duke New Mark didn't care at first, but just used the control secret technique to separate it, who knew that this corpse would explode instantly as soon as it touched Salian's secret energy. The dots of flesh and blood contained abundant light power scattered out, and Salian couldn't help but stagnate. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Polyak jumped out and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Hmph, you actually used the power of a saint to perform such a vicious corpse explosion technique!" Salian patted the dust off his body, thinking that this fanatic from the Holy Mountain Hermitage was even stranger and more mysterious than the characters in the Gospel of Salvation that he had fought with before.

Fortunately, the Duke of New Mark was always open-minded, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly came to the carriage trapped in the middle of the continent, kicked away the corpses around him, opened the door, and invited a few nuns. In addition to Fernanda and her mother, from the Benedictine convent, there were three other nuns of all ages. The abbot who was helped out of the car by Salian first expressed his gratitude to Salian, and then several nuns also came forward to greet him.

When she got out of the car, Miss Fernanda, who was originally full of joy, inadvertently saw the two girls following behind Salian, her bright eyes suddenly dimmed, and she asked in a low voice.

"Your Excellency, who are these two?"

"Haha, I was about to introduce these two VIPs from the Oriental Flak Empire, and I accompanied them to pass through this place, but I didn't expect to encounter you all the mammies attacked. Why are these eccentric monks attacking you?" Salian deftly shifted the subject.

"Oh, that's it, hello to you!, two sisters," the little girl was in a better mood, and said slowly: "Your Excellency Duke, since you helped us repel the sneak attack of the Kingdom of Franços at the beginning of the year, it has only been peaceful for a few months, and things have changed again......"

It turned out that King François was angry and angry after the failure of the alliance with the United Province of Nilandes to attack Bolandi, and he spent a lot of money to invite the president of the Hermitage of the Holy Mountain, who was not controlled by the Pope, to come out to help, and this man was known as the strongest high priest of Françose, who had always lived in seclusion in the monastery of Zion, where the sect was located, and never descended the mountain. Although the Pietists act strangely, because they don't care about the world, the Western continent doesn't know much about them.

Now, for some reason, these fanatics have been hired by King Fei Li and bewitched by his cleverness, so they will give up their seclusion to help them conquer. And the leader of those who attacked the carriage just now, Polyac, was the junior brother of President Balion, the second master of the Holy Mountain Hermitage. He was assigned by his senior brother to lead his elite disciples down the mountain, and has now become François's vanguard against the Duchy of Porandi.

Salian expected that a great battle between Franços and Brundi would be inevitable, and that this would involve the Grace Empire, which had close ties to Brundi. It's just that at the moment, François does not dare to take large-scale action except for these small conspiracies behind his back. He then asked.

"I roughly understand, so where are you going now?"

"Your Excellency the Duke, we had planned to pay a friendly visit to the Convent of Albi in the south of François, but now it seems that we will not be able to go. My mother meant to return to the Benedictine monastery. ”

"Well, we happen to be heading east, so let me escort you back to the monastery in Langerena!"

"Ah, that's great, with the protection of the invincible Duke of New Mark, we can all rest assured. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ”

"Hehe, you're overrated. ”

Although he said modestly, when he heard the gentle and beautiful Miss Fernanda praise herself, Salian couldn't help but feel a little fluttering. He thought about it again, although this little girl from the Duchy of Borundi was a little less combative, her superior recovery magic was very rare. It would have been a great help to have it with her, and Salian could see that she had a good opinion of her, and that she was much more reliable than Miss Lil, who was also from Franços.

As a result, Salian was very attentive along the way, which made the young nun very shy. Salian, on the other hand, took advantage of the night's rest to inform the two Ainozim girls of his plan in advance.

"Oh, that's how you put the girls in your hands! Hekiamus was unhappy with Salian's words and actions during the day.

"Hey, I am getting more and more on the path of Machiavelli, but in reality I am critical of the unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, because then I am exactly like Sebastian who is good at playing with people. He once said that I cherished feathers too much and paid attention to fame, and I did. So don't worry, I will never deceive other people's feelings. ”

"So you still have a clear conscience?"

"Of course, although I have been in war and politics for many years, I still have a minimum conscience. ”

"Oh, the conversation between the two of you is so profound, sister, brother-in-law. ”

They arrived safely at the Benedictine convent in Grandi's sphere of influence. Salian had a private meeting with the abbot under the pretext of drinking tea, and he made a small request, that is, he wanted to invite Miss Fernand to his domain to give him and his servants a lecture. Because heresy is now active in the southern part of the Divine Grace Empire, he needs some help from orthodox religion. This is a valid reason.

Because Salian had been a great favor to the abbot and had previously saved the city of Langerennes, which her husband was guarding, even though he was a little suspicious of the Duke of New Mark's motives, he finally agreed to Salian's request in view of his earnestness.

Later, when Miss Fernanda heard all this, she was very happy, except that she shed some tears when she said goodbye to her mother. After happily packing her travel supplies, she set out with Salian and the two dignitaries of the "Whirat Empire" on a journey back to Salian's ancestral territory.

A week later, they crossed the border and entered the territory of the Divine Grace Empire, and this was Schwartenn, and the grass and trees, mountains and rivers of his hometown lifted the spirits of Salian, who had grown up here and knew the roads well.

"Three, let's take a little detour so that we can see all the beauty of Schwartenn, our mountains and rivers may not be as good as the tourist resorts in the south, but they are still worth seeing. ”

"Yes, Lord Duke, but I feel a very uncomfortable feeling around me. ”

Hearing this, Salian didn't dare to be careless, because Miss Fernanda was possessed by superior light magic, and she could not be wrong. But in his own homeland, the arrogant Duke of New Mark will never back down. But he wasn't the reckless young aristocrat he used to be. Caution is now his label.

"Well, keep going, but be ready for battle, I'm the vanguard, Herkia Muse, Fernanda and Tiatez, please walk between us. ”

After making these arrangements, for the first time in his life, he changed into a newly made black and red Max-style dome armor in actual combat. Crafted by the Royal Arsenal of Fort Alborg in the Grand Duchy of Altenburg, the Duke of Koenigs in the forest region blessed a powerful magic circle, and finally the armor decorated by Salian himself was full of terrifying atmosphere. Especially the Medusa on the double bevel on the chest, and a pair of black dragon heads on each shoulder make people shudder.

Hecchiamus also changed into her ancient Greek armor at this time, with a pike, a huge Argos shield, and a bright red scarlet. She looked at Salian's armor without a trace of reflection, shook her head, and said.

"Alas, are you really a demon king?"

But the two young girls, Fernanda and Tiate, stared at Salian and could no longer look away. This evil image of the ancient warriors who destroyed the country has long been deeply rooted in their hearts. The sad two aesthetics were completely distorted by Salian.

The four of them slowly walked into the valley of the Lin River, and suddenly the golden drum shook the sky, and the rebels who had already been in ambush on the surrounding hills poured out one after another, shooting a rain of arrows at Salian and others who were traveling.

Duke New Mark looked at everything in front of him, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, I didn't expect that the first thing to greet me when I entered my hometown would be the suffering people!"

He raised his left hand and swung the hammer, only to see that all the arrows gradually gathered around the hammer as if they had encountered an unstoppable whirlpool, and finally disappeared completely.
