Chapter 314: Occasional Conflict
"I'm so sorry!"
The two bear children on the street instantly posed to sit down, attracting a group of onlookers, Tia saw the two brothers instantly become so sincere and frightened, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and snickered, after laughing, the girl couldn't help but eavesdrop and look at the three men who seemed to know Edward and Alxiang.
Two of them looked like ordinary mercenaries, but Tia was slightly taken aback by the huge black two-handed sword that one of them was carrying, so large that it could almost be used as a shield, and it felt extremely heavy just by looking at it. The man behind the two of them had long flowing hair, a handsome and straight face, and a pair of glasses, looking elegant and elegant, giving people a sense of erudition and wisdom.
"Yo~ Who are these two beauties?" Gus asked in a somewhat flirtatious tone, looking at Tia and Serena on the side.
Gus, who has fought countless times on the battlefield and doesn't know how many rolls he has fought in the heap of blood and dead people, will inadvertently exude a strong smell of blood and killing whenever he wants, which is the inevitable smell of soldiers who fight out of the sea of corpses and blood. The maid Tia shuddered the moment she was watched by Gus, and Serena's eyes became alert and looked at Gus.
"This is Tia, the other is ......"
Edward glanced at the chief priest Serena with some words, the other party was the goddess of ice and snow, the chief priest was the last person Miria wanted to see with Al, and when he met Serena just now, the other party asked not to mention his identity outside.
"I am Serena, the priestess of Ejoma, the goddess of ice and snow. This time, it was Selena who revealed her identity first.
A silver glint flashed in Serena's eyes. It is a true vision technique used to detect and see through illusions, and is mainly used to discern the true identity of the target. Under the influence of the True Vision Divine Technique, Serena could easily distinguish that the tall man wearing a trench coat and looking like he had been practicing martial arts for many years among the three was just an ordinary human. And the handsome and upright man who looked elegant and elegant, if he had a strong water elemental aura on his body, it should be a situation only for mages who practiced water magic, but he didn't feel any magic fluctuations on him.
It's just that...... The last mercenary-like man with a black giant sword on his back, although he is a human, but his body exudes a very strong abyssal aura, but this aura is very strange and all concentrated on his neck, not like what he has, but like a foreign object that adheres to his body.
Gus, who was being watched by Serena, suddenly felt a faint tingling. Gus subconsciously touched the brand on his neck with his hand. In an instant, Gus's eyes changed as he looked at Serena.
Kenjiro grabbed Edward by the collar like a kitten and lifted him up, "I'm sorry, these two kids are causing you trouble." β
Edward looked weak and pleaded, "Please~ Please don't tell Miss SΓΉ Miria about this matter!"
Al had no choice but to say goodbye to Tia, "I'm sorry, Tia, we have to go back first." β
"Please wait...... Serena suddenly stopped her, "Can you talk to a few of them?"
"I'm sorry ma'am, but I don't have much time today. Gus replied.
The crowds, anxious to get out of their entanglement with the temple, also prepared to leave in a hurry. But Serena didn't seem to want the crowd to leave. The surrounding water elements gathered very covertly, forming a series of transparent and invisible shackles, and they surrounded them. Gus and Kenjiro didn't notice anything unusual about Serena's actions, but Destier, who was also good at manipulating frozen air, was keenly aware of the anomaly.
At this time, Dezel stepped forward and stood in front of Gus and Kenjiro, and said in a slightly warning tone, "Please stop." We have no intention of conflicting with the temple......"
After all, Destier also secretly mobilized the freezing air, and almost undisguised counterattack on Serena, to show that although we have no intention of clashing with you, we will not fear it.
Serena's eyes became sharper, and the water elemental became more active, and Dejeld suddenly felt that the temperature around him was dropping rapidly, while Kenjiro and Gus were unresponsive, and it was obvious that the high priest of the Ice Goddess was perfect in the control of the power of frost, even above himself, even the Frost Prayer who was the best at frost manipulation in the city of Ulduar could not do this.
Fear...... Only Master Yalin can outperform her in the control of the power of frost!
Gus, who felt that the situation was wrong, subconsciously touched the hilt of the sword, Kenjiro's eyes became solemn, and the nerves of his whole body tensed! Only Edward and Al looked back and forth at the two sides that seemed to be facing each other for some reason, and Tia also looked at Al nervously, afraid that the two sides would really clash.
When he found that the frost power transformed by the water element had begun to slowly penetrate into his limbs, Dejel couldn't help but raise the small universe, and the powerful freezing gas instantly increased and surrounded the whole body, blocking the frost power from the outside of the body! This change made Serena a little surprised, as the chief priest of the goddess of ice and snow, she has the highest control over the water element, it stands to reason that under the control of divine magic, all water elements will obey her orders first, even if a high-level water mage confronts herself, she will not be able to use any magic because she loses control of the water element, but the man in front of him has another power that makes some water elements ignore his will.
Soon Serena gathered her strength, and the priest did not want to really clash with the other party, and besides, it was still on the street.
"I don't intend to have a conflict with you, but these are extraordinary times...... I must know who you are, especially this warrior!" Serena said softly, her tone as cold as ever, but somewhat relenting.
"Me?"
Gus pointed at himself and showed a strange smile, judging by the sudden stinging sensation from the brand just now, Gus probably understood why the other party was targeting him.
Serena looked around and saw that there was already a crowd of onlookers: "It's not convenient for us to talk here, please come with me." β
If the momentum was slightly eased just now, then this time it was extremely resolute, Dejeel glared at the two brothers, and knew that it was best to solve the problem at once today, otherwise even if they escaped, they would be entangled by the Holy Capital in the future, and then it would be endless.
Serena told Tia to return to the temple first, and Dezel said that Edward and Al would be better off returning to the mansion now. After the two brothers walked away, the four of them came to an open spot in a nearby park, and Serena gently waved her hand to lay out an enchantment around them.
"You have a demonic aura on you, and as a priest of the gods, I must find out who you are!" said Serena without hesitation after making sure that no third party was eavesdropping.
For the demons in the abyss, whether it is the hard-line Holy See or the relatively moderate Holy Capital, the attitude is the same, and both sides will not let go of any opportunity to destroy the demons, even if it is to offend the kingdom of the world. After all, the worldly threat to the gods is far less than that of the demons in the abyss, who are the enemies of a qiΔ life, the beings who truly destroy the world.
"Demonic breath~ is it because of this brand?" Gus touched the brand and asked rhetorically.
"Brand?" Serena looked at Gus puzzled, "Is it the emblem that the devil gave you?"
"Please~ Miss! I don't want it at all. Gus waved his hand with a look of helplessness.
"Do you mean that you are not a believer in demons, but just innocents cursed by demons?" Serena pondered for a moment, Serena was not very skeptical of Gus's attitude, after all, demons would indeed use all kinds of means to torture innocent people with curses and other methods, so that the other party would be tormented by pain and despair before harvesting the fallen souls.
Gus nodded in correctness.
"Can I check the brand on your neck?"
Gus was stunned and turned his gaze to Destier, who said that it was up to you to decide.
"Please!"
Finding a stone bench and sitting down, Gus didn't mind the imprint of the Hand of God on the back of his neck, and Serena stepped forward to see the strangely shaped imprint on Gus's neck, which seemed to have never been seen in the mind of the chief priest. There are a large number of demons in the abyss, and many powerful demon lords have marks that represent their identities, and it is naturally impossible for Serena to remember all the demon marks, but at least one thing is certain, this mark does not represent the demon master, if the man in front of him is really a victim of the demon's curse, then it may also be the emblem of a lord-level demon who has seen it.
"I can trust you for a while, do you remember the characteristics of the demon who marked you?"
"Features?" Gus recalled and shrugged helplessly, "Those ghosts who marked me always pretended to be gods every time they appeared, and they talked nonsense about the law of cause and effect, fate, and so on, and they were just a bunch of demons who loved to put on a show." β
A demon who has claimed to be a god?
Serena did not doubt this, in the Twisted Void, there are indeed some demons who will pretend to be gods to deceive the world, and let the world perform evil deeds in the name of the gods, of course, it is not ruled out that the other party may be the evil gods that have been lurking in the old era, compared to the demons, although these evil gods have long been forgotten by the world and have been weakened, but the evil gods have more cunning plans than demons and have been trying to reconstruct their own divine realm to restore their power.
