Volume I, Chapter Eighty-Four: Outlaws

"It turns out that there are so many filthy ...... hidden under the sacred cloak of the church," suddenly came a heavy sigh from the silent alley.

"Who is it?" Berta's hand froze in the air, looking around in alarm. Whether it is assassinating a saint or stealing divine power, it is absolutely taboo, and once it is leaked, her fate will be very miserable.

There was still silence in the dark alley, and there was no shadow at all except for the killer who was staring at him behind him.

Far from breathing a sigh of relief, Berta became even more uneasy.

At this moment, a terrifying howl suddenly sounded in the night sky. Berta's eyelids jumped, and a steady stream of holy light came out of his body, forming a shield of light burning with holy flames, and the old body retreated at an incredible speed.

Almost at the same moment, a crossbow arrow nearly a meter long burst through the air, shooting through her light shield like lightning. As soon as the shield shattered, a raging flame erupted, burning the crossbow arrow to ashes.

Although the crossbow bolt did not hurt Berta, the powerful inertia was like a giant fly swatter, swatting her away. The old Berta rolled over vigorously in the air, and stepped backwards in the air to stabilize her figure, so nimble that she did not look like an old woman at all.

Berta was fast, but the bolts were even faster, and she had barely steadied herself when she heard the sound of the wind whizzing.

A few screams rang out behind her, and before several black-armored killers could figure out what was happening, they were pierced by crossbow arrows and fell to the ground.

Startled and furious, Berta muttered hymns of praise, the aura on her body suddenly increased, and the golden light reflected her like a goddess.

This is a secret method of the church, called "falling god", that is, using one's own body as a container to obtain a large amount of divine power in a short period of time, which greatly enhances one's combat effectiveness.

Falling Divine Technique is a unique combat technique of high-ranking priests, and it is invincible on the battlefield of conquering heretics or encircling heretics.

However, before she could finish casting the Falling Spell, she saw a magic scroll Shi Shiran glance over, the magic light on the scroll flickered a few times, and suddenly erupted a ball of fire, and the crazy tongue of fire pounced on Berta like a fierce beast.

Berta frowned, reluctantly interrupted the Falling Spell, and stepped back again.

At this moment, Ilona, who was standing on the spot, suddenly felt someone grab her wrist, and then a strong force came and pulled her out.

"Now, let's go!"

A rapid roar lingered in Ilona's ears, and at this time, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that this guy who suddenly appeared was here to save her, and immediately gritted her teeth and ran out with the force in her hand.

With a muffled bang, the golden holy light formed a thin curtain of light and exploded outward, blowing away the fourth-level flame magic cast by the scroll in an instant.

The gloomy face of Berta moved, leaving a golden light and shadow in midair, and killed Ilona in a fierce manner.

It's just that at this time, where is there still half a figure?

"Not good!" Berta was startled, and a golden light burst out of her eyes, and that golden light was full of divine aura, like a devil who could penetrate the fog of the night and gaze directly.

The two hastily figures suddenly disappeared under the golden light, and Berta pointed to the other end of the alley and shouted, "They ran over there, chase after them!"

The remaining six or seven killers immediately chased in the direction she pointed.

The divine aura on Berta's body immediately dissipated, and the thick light slowly returned to her body, making her look like the old and ugly nun again.

A hurried sound of horses' hooves came from the long street, and the three knights were also dressed in black clothes and black armor, the only difference was that the armor on the knight in the middle shone with the brilliance of magic, which was obviously a magic equipment of no low level.

"What's the matter, why hasn't it taken so long to kill someone?" the masked knight asked dissatisfiedly.

"What's the use of just killing people? I want her to steal divine power!"

"Do you still want to interrogate her in the street? Do you know how risky this is, and I have already taken a great risk to arrange this assassination for you!" the knight slammed his whip to the ground and roared angrily.

Berta was unmoved: "Don't talk as if you have suffered any loss, the price I paid for this matter is enough to compensate for all your sacrifices." ”

Before the knight could say anything more, suddenly a man in black ran back from the other side of the long street and hurriedly said, "My lord, it's not good, the target is hiding in the Black Rose!"

"What?!" the knight exclaimed, and his heart suddenly felt cold.

Regardless of the knight's reaction, Berta said coldly: "No matter where they hide, they must be pulled out, go quickly!"

"Wait!"

The knight stopped the man in black and said to Berta, "Do you know where the Black Rose is? ”

"I don't know whose private property it is, I just know that if they let them escape today, neither I nor you will end well. Think of the stake in the church, do you care who it belongs to?" Berta roared hysterically.

The knight's face was hidden under the black helmet mask, but I knew that his face must be very ugly at the moment.

He struggled for ten seconds before he shook his head suddenly, "That's your church's business, Berta, don't try to tie me to your chariot with this." ”

Seeing Berta's sneer, the knight slowed down his tone and explained: "You don't understand, the current Maltis is like a large powder keg, if I really send someone to attack the Black Rose, no one knows what the consequences will be!"

"Lord Marquis!" Berta suddenly let out a sharp roar: "Don't forget how much you have received from us over the years, and those dirty things you have done, as long as I shake one out casually, Your Majesty the Emperor will definitely not let you go!"

The knight was shocked and stood on the spot.

Perhaps thinking that this effect was not enough, Berta sneered again: "There is one more thing I forgot to tell you, the woman who was drugged by you three months ago and enjoyed the whole night is now a saint of the church!"

"What?!" the knight began to tremble as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Even Frederick the Great could not bear the charge of raping the Holy Maiden, and it is up to you to live or perish. Berta's shrill sneer was like a demon's whisper.

On the dark street, a carriage with a vulgar gold coin sign stopped on the side of the road, and the coachman hurried over and said respectfully by the door: "My lord, the street ahead is under martial law by the city guards, saying that they are searching for rebellion. ”

Doppler was stunned: "What kind of rebellion needs to be searched by the city guards under martial law?"

Mick lifted the curtains, looked out the window, and asked faintly, "What's the nearest street?" ”

The coachman was puzzled: "My lord, the people of the city guard said that the three blocks in the vicinity are blocked, and if you want to bypass, I am afraid you will have to take a long detour. ”

Seeing Mick frowning, Doppler asked in a low voice, "Do you want to show your identity as an adult and walk over through the road?"

Mick shook his head: "It's better not to make trouble for Alexander, if you don't want to avoid rebellion...... Hey, what do you think that's that?"
