The thousandth year of the sacred calendar, in February, a sunny day.

Outside the borders of the province of Grayland in the southern part of the empire, there were suddenly hundreds of murderous paladins, swords beside them engraved with sacred runes and symbols unique to the Church of Light.

The passing motorcades and pedestrians are all discolored.

Located in the southeast of the Holy Empire, the province of Grayland is not very impressive in the vast territory of the Holy Empire, which includes thirty-seven counties.

The county is best known for being one of the great figures in the history of the provincial city of Sardinia----- Saint Sardinia, one of the twelve disciples who sat down a thousand years ago when the first Pope Van St. Vest sat down.

In honour of this great sage, later generations of Sardinians have placed his sculpture in the city's most striking central square, singing his praises for his exploits and holy name for generations.

But only the high-ranking figures of the Church of Light know that this saint named Sardinia has another more secret identity ---- the first Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition.

It was because of him that there was a Inquisition that frightened countless heretics in later generations, and perhaps the Sardinians would never know that it was this kind old man who personally designed the first burn at the stake for the Inquisition, built the first prison, and kept countless people in the Middle Ages awake at night.

Within the Cardinal of the Holy See, Sardinia also had another nickname, the "Bloodstained Saint", which represented the union of blood and holiness.

And today, Diana, the first powerful saint in the history of the Holy See, the Lord of the Templars, will use her sword to completely bury this ancient dark history.

On the border, Diana rode a white horse and led hundreds of paladins on the official road to the outside of Sardinia under the awe-struck gaze of many people.

Accompanying the Holy Maiden was a samurai

The samurai has a handsome appearance, the appearance is unusually handsome, the appearance is almost indistinguishable from that of a woman, the eyebrows are cold and majestic, the pupils are pale gold, and if you look closely, you will find that there seems to be an eternal flame burning inside, dazzling and deep.

The holy warrior behind him looked at this handsome warrior with obvious awe.

A year ago, Diana had returned from the abyss to challenge the former templar lord Ryles.

Soon after, the warrior named Adam also stood out from the Templar training camp, and to everyone's shock, he actually defeated one of the seven samurai chiefs of the previous generation of the Templar in public, and thus became the youngest samurai chief in the history of the Templar, and Diana's most powerful lieutenant at present, and his status was still higher than that of the Templar elders.

In the fight to purge the Meron faction, this samurai also played an unusually key role.

What surprised everyone even more was that such a terrifying genius was actually a god like Diana.

With the addition of Diana, in this operation, there have already been two divine favors, two beings who have been blessed by the light.

The thought of being able to take part in a mission under the leadership of two supreme deity made all the Templars feel high in their hearts for battle, and this honor was enough for them to die happily.

Diana and Adam were riding horses and walking side by side on the official road without saying a word.

From the time of departure from Olympia to the present, there has been no apparent conversation between them, in fact, the communication between the two Templar giants has been continuous, in the form of mental fluctuations.

The communication of the Divine Servants does not require the use of words at all.

If the warriors behind him could learn the content of their conversation in the sea of consciousness, they would be extremely shocked to find that Diana's attitude towards Adam was not like giving orders to her subordinates at all, but extremely respectful and reverent, like facing a senior teacher.

"The biggest problem right now is that I don't have strong enough evidence in my hands. ”

Diana had a look of worry between her eyebrows, "If Drexes chooses not to resist and denies his crimes at the Council of Cardinals, then Byron will not be implicated in any way, and he will be an imposter prince with peace of mind." ”

"In order to maintain the relationship between the church and the royal family, the teacher will never use mantra in public unless he has to, so this battle is meaningless. ”

The apparent reason for the Templar's action this time is to punish Drex, who colluded with the Abyss Demon, but the problem is that Diana knows that she doesn't actually have any substantial evidence in her hands, and the reason why she can learn the truth behind it is with the help of Adam.

It is impossible to convince the entire cardinal with Meron's testimony in his own hands alone, and the source of the testimony is the biggest problem in the first place.

And Diana knew very well that Adam was never willing to reveal his true identity at this time.

"Evidence, what a boring thing, human beings always like to invent these superfluous rituals to persuade themselves to escape, rather than face the truth. After listening to Diana's concern, Adam said lightly.

。

"What if Drexes chooses to give up resistance and ask for a decision from the cardinal?"

Diana frowned, "Your identity must not be revealed now. ”

Adam glanced at her, his eyes exuded supreme majesty, and the surging spiritual fluctuations rushed directly into Diana's spiritual world.

In the spiritual sea, Adam's indifferent voice sounded in Diana's head, "What you need to do now is just to let everyone in the church see that you have the ability to defeat the Inquisition, it is enough, it doesn't hurt to find evidence afterwards, people look for evidence to convince themselves, not others." ”

"For human beings, unimaginable power is often the best evidence. ”

"Whether Drakes is guilty or not, it doesn't matter to the old fellows of the cardinal, the important thing is that you show enough ability to intimidate the entire Holy See and convince them that you can also solve them like the Inquisition, and that's the most important thing. ”

Diana took a deep breath and said respectfully, "Thank you for your constant guidance, I admit that in many things, I am not mature enough, and there are always a lot of concerns. ”

"Because you have spent too little time in this plane, young angel. Adam said indifferently, "This operation can be regarded as a small experience for you. ”

It seems that the knight, named Adam, did not take the Inquisition, which was full of powerful men, seriously.

Diana was not surprised at all, but nodded convincingly, and then asked seriously: "I think, my current cultivation of the Divine Sword Style has reached a bottleneck, and it seems that I can't further improve, do you have any good suggestions?"

In the entire Church of Light, there are almost no people who are qualified to guide Diana's swordsmanship, and even the oldest samurai chief in the temple may not be able to surpass Diana, who has experienced the bloody battle of the abyss, in the holy sword style.

At this moment, however, she asked the young paladin beside her for advice in an extremely respectful tone.

Adam's eyes lowered slightly, and he said slowly in the spiritual world: "It's not that you don't have enough talent, but because your heart is not focused on the sword itself, but on other things. ”

"You desire to save the world, and in your eyes the sword is synonymous with the brutality of killing, and it has taken the lives of your mother and brother, so you are never willing to point your sword at others until the last resort, so you cannot comprehend the supreme meaning of the sacred sword style. ”

However, you must understand that the sword itself is a tool made by the mundane, used to destroy, and has nothing to do with good and evil, and no matter how gorgeous and exquisite the swordsmanship is, it cannot hide this fact, and you must accept that blindly clinging to the good and evil of the world will only hinder your growth. ”

Diana looked into the distance, her eyes showing a little confusion and confusion, "This truth, it sounds, is different from what the teacher taught me before...... Isn't the divine sword style you created to fight for the goodness and righteousness of the mortal world?"

Adam's eyes were as deep as the sea, and seemed to contain a transcendent insight into all things, "As I said earlier, the existence of the sword has nothing to do with good and evil, in fact, we angels are the same, they are the creatures that the Lord uses to realize His great ideals, no matter how many magnificent imaginations and how moving praises the world has given us, they cannot change this essence, if you want to become stronger and receive more favor from the brilliance, you must first learn to abandon the worldly so-called good and evil views." ”

"Thinking from the point of view of the Lord, not from the standpoint of mortals, and everything presupposes the will of the radiance of sight, which is the course of action of all our coming angels. Adam said lightly.

Diana fell into deep thought.......
