Chapter 18: Ellie's Choice

Ellie's sudden drawing of her sword frightened the young nun beside her, and the old woman in black gauze who was in the center of the temple also looked at Ellie in surprise.

These temples built on the wilderness have not been attacked without attacks, but these attacks are often attacks launched by low-intelligence beasts or alien bandits from the periphery. After all, no matter what the goal was, there was an opportunity in this wilderness, so why attack while they were in a group, not to mention that each temple of Ilmat was guarded by a certain number of warrior monks. Perhaps these special warriors who don't like to wear armor or use weapons won't make the main force on a large battlefield, but in a skirmish, those attackers are absolutely reluctant to face them.

Therefore, although the two of them were surprised by the girl's actions, they did not make any drastic actions at the first time, and then they noticed that the young adventurer did not make any further movements, but only held his sword and looked nervously at the door.

After glancing at the door in unison, the two felt even stranger.

Ellie noticed their reaction: "You guys...... Can't you see it?"

Hearing this, the old woman's hand flickered, and several special spells had been blessed on her body, and then, she looked at the entrance of the temple again.

Still is...... There was nothing, and under the black veil, the old face was thoughtful.

"Don't be nervous, child, no one can hurt you under the watchful eye of our lord Ilmat. ”

"Yes, I want it to be ......," the gray-haired girl smiled wryly, and now what could Ellie do but smile wryly.

On one side, there are super warriors who are likely to have a close connection with William, and on the other side, there are high-level spellcasters who are likely to have surrendered to the enemy country, and Ellie has no idea what will happen next.

The old woman did not speak again, she bowed her head and grasped the emblem that hung around her neck.

Then, a circle of white light burst out from around her body, and the warm and soft white light shone on the entire hall, getting brighter and brighter, while on the other hand, the figure of the old man in white became fainter and fainter, until it disappeared completely.

Elle looked at this scene with complicated eyes, and once again saw the magic technique, without the shock and confusion of four years ago, there was only a faint bitterness left.

"Sword Ghost Velun...... I think you've heard his name. After a moment of silence, Ellie knew what she needed to explain.

Different from the nun's surprised reaction, the old woman spoke calmly: "Is it really him? Don't worry, young adventurer, since he didn't choose to kill you in the first place, then probably not in the future." ”

"Sound, he ...... Didn't you wipe it out?" Although she had already guessed this outcome, Ellie was still a little disappointed.

The old woman's face under the black veil seemed to be smiling bitterly: "If the sword ghost Wei Lun was so easily destroyed, then his legend would not have been passed down to the present. ”

Ellie was a little worried that the other party would ask her why she was targeted by the sword ghost Wei Lun, so she took the initiative to ask, "But he was repelled by your magic skills, does this mean that he is already an undead creature?"

Hearing this, the old woman fell silent.

After a while, the old woman who didn't know what she thought sighed: "No, he is not the carrier of those negative energies, I think, he is just ...... Lost. ”

After a pause, the Honorable One of Ilmat continued, "I can light a lamp in the wilderness and show the way to lost travelers, but even my lord Ilmat may not be able to help wanderers like him find their way......"

The old woman's words seemed to be full of deep meaning, but since the other party was unwilling to explain, Ellie was not interested in delving into it, all she cared about was what she should do next?

In the past four years, with her magical little master, Elle has also seen many wonderful existences, but similar to Veron's...... There is not a single case at all.

The old woman in front of her has both arcane and divine powers, and has a power that is not inferior to that of the young lady, but now that the old woman seems to be powerless, the head maid still subconsciously thinks that it would be good if the young lady is here...... She's sure she'll have a way.

As if seeing Ellie's confusion, the old woman thought for a moment, took out a strangely shaped badge from her bosom, and handed it to Ellie: "Take this, child." If the worst happens, I think it will help you get to the Holy City. ”

"Holy City?" Ellie retracted her thoughts, looking at the other party in some surprise.

"If there's one more person on this continent who can help you, it's undoubtedly the Crown of the Holy City. So, take this emblem, kid, and show it to them, and you will see him. ”

The Sacred City...... In the capital of the Papal States of Stiller, the unpredictable Veron did say that five years ago, the Pope had defeated him, was he not in the current state at that time?

Elle looked at the emblem lying in the palm of her hand, the pattern on the emblem was a knight covered in hideous armor, the kingdom of Stiller had always declared that the eternal night was coming, and only the god of the eternal night who believed in them could be saved, but it was difficult for Elle to associate the god of eternal night with the knight on the emblem.

But that's not the point, the point is that the image on this emblem has appeared in her nightmare countless times in the past four years, and that was the beginning of the nightmare four years ago when Elle first saw the flag with the emblem fluttering over the wilderness.

If the history of the Northland countries were to be written in a book, then all that could be seen between the lines would be blood flowing. Elle didn't expect to kill the Pope and destroy his country to complete her revenge, because that would be delusional. She just hoped that she could drag the person she hated the most in her life into hell with her, if hell still existed.

As for now, Ellie bit her lip...... The kingdom represented by this holy emblem has destroyed her homeland and killed her people, and now she has to take refuge in the protection of the other party?

"Thank you very much, honorable Glory, but I'm just an ordinary adventurer, and I don't dare to accept such a valuable item. With both hands, Elle handed the emblem back to the old woman, this emblem made of white gold was obviously not the kind that the low-ranking priests had.

The old woman in front of her had a sincere kindness, and Ellie could accept the help she offered in the name of Yilmat, but she could not accept the shelter offered by the other party in her capacity as the Church of the Eternal Night.

Walking out of the temple door, Ellie suddenly felt relaxed.

It's a good feeling to leave everything behind and travel light, but if the young lady knew about her choice, she would definitely laugh at me, right?

There was a smile on Ellie's lips, her little master, but she was a typical pragmatist.

As for now...... Whatever lies ahead, come ahead!

-------------------

PS: I'm sorry for the interruption for so long, although I want to pretend that nothing happened, but I still feel guilty.

At that time, I was really depressed for a long time because I was reported and then forced to change my name...... After a long hiatus, I deliberately didn't think about this book, until some time ago, I clicked on my book again on Youshu.com, and saw that some people's angry speeches were still there, and I woke up...... Isn't it the people who report it the most?

I won't pretentiously say "I make the book friends who like my books sad", in this era of entertainment is so rich, and I have grabbed a lot of books that are better than what I have written, and my books are definitely not irreplaceable...... I feel most sorry for the book itself, the main characters in the book, the supporting characters in the book, they are still there, their stories are still waiting for me to tell, and I have left them aside......

So, in short, I'm back...... I don't dare to guarantee the daily update, and the Spring Festival will probably be interrupted in the next few days, but at least there will be no more situations where I deliberately don't write.
