Chapter 116: Ernest and the Strangers

The rain continued to fall, releasing excess moisture. The sky over the city of N was gray, and only the sanctuary of St. Peter's Basilica shone brightly. At this time, I saw a golden light in the sky, and it disappeared into the distance at an extremely fast speed.

If you look closely, it is the Paladin Heavy Power Armor of the First Templar Ernest! The propulsion unit is so powerful that it allows Ernest to fly through the air. A hundred meters in front of Ernest, a person wrapped in a white cloth was fleeing quickly, it seemed that the person did not use any flying tools, but Ernest knew that the white cloth on this person's body was not simple! It should be a magic weapon!

The speed of the paladin's power armor had reached its peak, but there was still a gap between it and the man, Ernest stared at the guy in front of him calmly, he was waiting for the other party's mana to run out.

Half an hour ago, Ernest had sat in the sanctuary as usual, and since there was no sunlight shining in today, there was only a soft glow from the light suspended above the crystal coffin. Many years had passed since such a peaceful day, and he had long since become accustomed to it. Except for a few hours of combat training, he spends all of his time in the Templar. The Pope's order is that no one should be allowed to approach this place, and those who approach will die. But after all these years, no one dared to come here, after all, this is the innermost place of the church, and it is impossible for ordinary people to reach here.

Ernest's eyes were calm, moving with the ups and downs of the floating light on the crystal coffin, the light was not dazzling, but it could illuminate the entire holy city. This unimaginable sight is called a miracle. Maybe the Pope is there to protect the light, Ernest thought. But whenever Ernest asked the Pope, the Pope shook his head and said nothing. Neither affirmation nor denial. All these years he sat in silence in the sanctuary, looking at the light, but the light was as mechanical and accurate as a clock, and every rise and fall was the same height and speed, so that within a year he lost interest in observation. Now that Ernest's interest was in the crystal coffin, he had some urge to take a look. But the Pope ordered. It is not allowed to approach the crystal coffin and the light group, otherwise you will be punished with the most severe burning at the stake!

For so many days and nights, Ernest was as mechanical and accurate as a light cluster. Waiting here, motionless, like a metal sculpture. Most of the former comrades-in-arms no longer remember that there is a person of themselves, they only know. The people inside the Templar were the First Templars. That's all. The Pope said, 'You don't need friends, you don't need relatives, you don't need languages, you don't need anything.' You can only guard this place, kill anything that dares to invade here, this is your life. There is no future, there is no hope. Some are just lonely and silent. There may be a turnaround, but that turnaround is extremely difficult. ’

Ernest understood the Pope's intentions. It is to let him guard here in peace and not have any distractions. And he did the same, all these years in full accordance with the Pope's orders, sitting here, not saying a word, his heart was like water.

However, this peace was broken in the next second! The door of the sanctuary was suddenly opened gently! Ernest's closed eyes opened instantly, and he could not feel the breath of the Pope! In other words, the person who entered here was trespassing! Ernest got up and quickly turned to look, only to see a man standing there wrapped in a white cloth and unable to see his face and shape!

Somehow, there was no surprise or shock in Ernest's heart, and a feeling called excitement enveloped the calm Ernest, who stared at the strange man and said in a slightly cold voice: "You have violated the highest taboo of the Church, and I pronounce your death sentence with the sanctity of the gods and the authority of the Pope!"

"Oh, hehe, death penalty?" the strange man wrapped in white cloth said in a very strange tone, neither like a woman's voice nor a man's voice. "Don't you want to ask me why I'm here? The weirdo said in a playful tone.

"Whatever the reason, you must die. Ernest stretched out his right hand, and the metal glove fluctuated, and a white and gold knight's spear appeared in Ernest's hand, and a holy and shocking power spread from the tip of the spear.

"Do you want to do anything here? Your Excellency the First Templar, don't forget that this is the Templar, and there are things you need to protect. The weirdo was still in a mocking tone.

"Then get out!" Ernest suddenly shouted, the paladin's power armor, which had been activated all day, immediately exerted a 100% power bonus, and in the blink of an eye, the knight's spear in Ernest's hand pierced through the stranger's chest, and under the action of the huge momentum, the stranger was knocked out of the sanctuary by Ernest's blow! Then, Ernest's figure flashed, and he rushed out of the temple with the riding spear, and the next moment he grabbed the handle of the riding spear, and with a sharp flick, the strange man was thrown heavily on the wet ground. Ernest was slowly descending from mid-air, his head already covered by a helmet, and he could no longer see any of his expressions.

Ernest landed and walked slowly towards the motionless stranger, the huge wound from the spear that looked like it was just a round hole, and there was no blood or anything special coming out.

"Uh, it hurts!" A strange cry came from the strange man who fell to the ground!"Your Excellency the First Templar, you are really ruthless, I am just a soy sauce passerby, and you have such a heavy hand!" The strange man slowly got up from the ground, and the huge round hole in his chest slowly healed!

"Even if you are a lost bird, you must die if you break into the Templar. Ernest said mechanically.

"Cut, it's boring, the puppet who only knows how to carry out orders, it's really a pathetic person. The holes in the weirdo's chest had healed, and he was in teasing mode again.

"God will forgive you for your crimes, but first, I will give you the way to God!" Ernest was halfway through his words, his body disappearing, and the spear in his hand pierced the stranger's chest again!

The strange man who was pierced by the riding spear suddenly screamed, and after struggling several times, he said, "Don't you want to be so savage! Are the churches all barbarians?! Ahem, it hurts me!" The strange man tried for a while, but still could not break free from the riding gun.

Ernest in the armor frowned slightly, this strange man didn't seem to be so easy to execute. Thinking of this, Ernest's body moved, and the riding spear was instantly wrapped in a white holy flame, and then the strange man's body was also ignited by the holy flame.

"Ahh

The Templars who heard the news arrived at once, and in front of them was a domineering First Templar with a spear in hand, and on his spear was a strange man covered in flames!

The strange man howled for a while, and when he noticed that many Templars were surrounding him, he suddenly stopped howling, and with a stiff body, he jumped off Ernest's riding spear! The round hole in his chest was soon healed, and the strange man let out a few shrill laughs, and jumped up on the spot, and flew into the distance! Immediately after, Ernest who had not said a word also quickly left the ground, and disappeared after a strong air current, leaving only the Templars who arrived later to talk about ...... without knowing it.
