Al thought a lot, what he saw and heard in the city of London, the relationship between the royal family and the church, and the current status of the church in the Holy Sword Empire, and some bits and pieces summed up, so that Al understood the purpose of Lancer and the church in doing this.

In fact, Al himself is of no importance to the Church, the key is that Al is not only a student of Solangjoya, but also has a close relationship with the royal family.

And the wizard is still the same as the dark creatures in the hearts of the civilians of the Holy Sword Empire, and even more than the evil existence of the dark creatures, and the name of the wizard is among the civilians of the Holy Sword Empire, and it is an existence that can stop the crying of children.

If Al is allowed to admit his identity as a student of Solangjoya University and his relationship with the royal family in front of the commoners, and then the church comes forward to expose Al's identity as a wizard, and then stands up as a influencer to Al, and then the church vigorously transmits these news to all corners of the Holy Sword Empire, then this can not only greatly increase the status of the church among the commoners, but also further weaken the position of Solangjoya and the royal family in the hearts of the commoners.

A school that harbors evil wizards, a royal family that colludes with evil wizards, as long as these two names are placed on the heads of Solangjoya and the royal family, then the hundreds of millions of Radiant Lord Churches that stand above the general righteousness will have many ways to compete for the hearts and minds of the people, so that although the royal family's efforts to weaken the Hundreds of Millions of Radiant Lord Churches over the years are not in vain, they will definitely be set back for decades.

Thinking of this, Al looked at Lancer and said with a sneer: "It turns out that your purpose is not me, but Solangjoya and the royal family, think about it. Just for me, a little wizard apprentice, there is no need for you Church of the Lord of Radiance to do these things. Even if it's because I interfere with your assassination of Artoria, you'll kill me at most. ”

Hear Al's words. Lancer shrugged his shoulders before he spoke, "Al, I actually knew you before those people, and you saved my life after all, so as long as you can do what we say, then I can guarantee that you will be treated fairly, at least with the status of a bishop." ”

Al's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at Lancer and whispered, "If you say ...... What if I refuse?"

As soon as I heard this. A smile appeared on the corner of Lancer's mouth, and then he said to Coseth beside him, "Senior Cosyth, take a look at El." ”

When Corseth heard Lancer's words, he immediately nodded with a cruel smile, he snapped his fingers lightly, and suddenly several figures walked out of the room, these people walked out step by step with stiff movements, and stood directly in front of Lancer and Corseth, they were the old Howard and John and others who were taken captive by Lancer and others!

"Father. Uncle Hulan, Howard Sr., Aunt May, and Garon. Gal, Carrie, how are you guys? Are you hurt...... What's wrong with you?"

Take a step forward. Al looked at the John Seven who didn't make any extra moves, not even on their faces. Something immediately felt wrong, because their expressions were too calm, calm and terrifying.

Taking another step forward, Al wanted to find out about the situation of John and the others, but as soon as he took a step, John and the others took a step back in unison, and the steps were extremely neat, as if they were being controlled by the same one!

Raising his head, Al looked at Kosaith and asked in a cold voice, "My father, are they being manipulated by you?"

A smile was revealed, but because of Corseth's hideous countenance, any smile placed on him was incomparably hideous.

Nodding his head slowly, Corseth spoke: "I am a second-level necromancer, there is a witchcraft called 'puppetry', which can control all kinds of corpses, but it can also control some living creatures with low willpower, if the object is you, this witchcraft will not succeed, but if you face these ordinary people, there is no problem." ”

After Coseth finished speaking, Lancer looked at El with a smile again, and said, "How about El, if you agree to my terms, then I can let some people go now, but if you don't...... Then it's a pity that I have to purify these people. ”

Hearing Lancer's words, Al gritted his teeth, his hands clenched into fists, he wanted to agree to Lancer's conditions and exchange John and the others safely, but Al knew very well that if he agreed, then he would definitely hurt Artoria and Elisi, two people who were equally important to him.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Al's mouth, and before he knew it, Al actually bit out the blood from his mouth.

At this time, a glimmer of light flashed in Kosaith's human eyes, and he saw his fingers move slightly, and at the same time said to Al: "It seems that you are very entangled, so let me help you decide quickly." ”

As soon as the words fell, the three brothers and sisters Garon, Garr, and Carrie, who were standing there, took out a dagger from their arms at the same time, and stabbed it into their throats under Al's terrified gaze, without the slightest hesitation, without the slightest pause, and committed suicide in front of Al!

"No, no, no, no! no!"

Shouting loudly, Al rushed directly to the three Garon siblings, he held Garon and wanted to pull out the dagger around his neck, but he didn't dare to do so, Al's palms trembled, his eyes were red, for the first time he had no idea, he didn't know what he should do.

Reaching out and closing the three Garon's round eyes in turn, Al leaped to his feet and rushed straight towards Corseth.

However, in a fit of rage, Al had lost his vigilance, and before he could rush in front of Corseth, he was punched in the lower abdomen by the sudden action of John, and the whole person flew backwards, lying on the ground and retching.

Raising his head, Al looked at Aunt Mei who was still standing in place, she was still expressionless at this time, but there were tears in her eyes that couldn't stop flowing.

Her own children were killed, and she couldn't even move, and she couldn't even cry, and this sad emotion filled Aunt Mei's seemingly dull eyes.

Al gripped the ground with great force, even if the ten fingers of his hands left blood marks on the ground without any pause.

Standing up slowly, Al looked at Lancer and said expressionlessly, "Lancer, let the rest go, I agree to your conditions." ”

Although he was dissatisfied with Coseth for killing Garon and the others in his own hands, but being able to force El to make a decision, Lancer also felt that what had just happened was not completely useless.

Nodding slowly, Lancer was ready to say something of comfort to Al.

However, at this moment, Cosaith's fingers moved lightly again, and I saw that among the people who were being manipulated, John, who had the highest willpower, suddenly broke free from Cosaith's 'puppet technique'.

And the moment John broke free from the control of the 'puppet technique', he did not flee immediately, nor did he go to the rescue of those other people, he directly pulled out the long sword at his waist and slashed Xiulan, Old Howard, and Aunt May to the ground with his backhand.

When John took the lead in making a move against Xiulan, Al immediately rushed towards John, but Al was a step too late, and when he snatched the long sword from John's hand, the rest of the people were already covered in sword scars and fell in a pool of blood!

Al looked at John, tears streaming down his face, and he asked angrily, "Father, why! Why did you kill them, why!"

John looked at Al with red eyes, only to see him show a kind smile to Al that he had never seen before, then patted Al on the shoulder, and said softly: "Before being controlled, we had already made a decision, if we embarrassed you because of us, then we will find an opportunity to commit suicide, just now I broke free of control, naturally I will do it for them."

Al, in the future, we will not be by your side, you will lose a lot of bonds, and I have always wanted to tell you, you must try to be ruthless in the future, now you are really too kind and naïve, so you will not be able to live well in this world, so you must become cold. ”

As the words fell, John gave Al a gentle hug, but then John's expression changed slightly, and his hands slid directly down, holding the long sword that Al had dodged and stabbing into his chest.

At the same time, John said to Al in a very weak voice: "Al, I have always loved you, I love you very much, so you must live well, you are an extension of my life and your mother's life, even if it is for us, you must live, live...... Go to ......"

As the words fell, John fell to his knees, his head bowed, and he lost his breath, looking more like he was asleep.

Al let go of his sword and fell to his knees, his hands on John's body, his eyes hollow, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Lancer reacted, he reached out and grabbed the wizard's robe on Kosaith's body, and shouted angrily: "Kosaith, what the hell are you doing! Why did he break free from your control, did you say that you did it on purpose? Do you know, now that all our plans have been disrupted, how should we get El to give in now, how can we get him to agree to our request!"

Looking at Lancer, who was constantly barking at him, Corseth smirked and reached out to push Lancer, who was clutching his wizard robes.

"Lancer, I told you before that there will be a certain risk in controlling a first-level bloodline knight, you said before that there is no problem, what risk you have to bear, what, you blame me if the matter fails?"

Hearing Corseth's words, Lancer was furious, and he stepped forward to say something to Corseth, but at this moment, a roar came from behind Lancer, and then a stream of heat spread.

Turning around, Lancer looked at the direction where the sound and the heat came from, only to see Al holding the Burning Sword, the purple light on his left hand flickered, and the flames rose from the Burning Sword, converging around El's body, and the Al was almost like a god of fire descending to earth, and the power was amazing!
