"Mother, Mother!"
Looking at the face of the woman in front of her with a sad and heavy expression, the girl hurriedly ran to her side and clung to her clothes.
"They're bullying you again?"
"No, it's all right, kid. β
Hearing the girl's inquiry, the woman smiled comfortingly, and then, she gently squatted down and gently stroked the girl's hair.
"It's okay...... It was just a little accident, nothing. β
"But......... But ........."
Hearing the woman's answer, the girl's face turned red, she puffed out her cheeks, and complained dissatisfied.
"But, I saw it! Those guys deliberately made it difficult for you! They deliberately spilled those drinks on the floor, but ............"
Saying this, the girl grabbed the dress of the woman in front of her and began to shake it.
"Mother, if you hate this place, then let's leave, go to a place where no one can find us, no one will embarrass us, and live a peaceful life, isn't that right?"
"Of course it's not good, my child. β
The smile on the woman's face was calm and natural, and the previous heaviness and sadness seemed to have been washed away by a sunshine, and disappeared. She stroked the girl's hair and shook her head with a smile.
"You're not like me, kid, you belong here. This is where you should stay..."
"I'm sorry, Mother. β
Hearing this, the girl's face darkened, and then she lowered her head, her hands grasped her braids, and her petite body began to tremble slightly.
"If it weren't for my pesky hair...... Mother wouldn't have been treated like this, and if I hadn't looked like this, we wouldn't be here anymore. It's all my fault, it's all my mother......... If, if I hadn't been born, if I had never existed......!"
"It's not like that!"
Hearing this, the woman's voice suddenly became serious, and the girl was startled, raised her head in horror, and looked at her mother. But then, she felt the warm embrace -- and the next moment, she was held in the woman's arms.
"Not so, my child. I've never held a grudge against you, and on the other hand, I'm happy. Maybe that's my fate, the fate I have to accept. Maybe it will be painful, but in the end, it will bring me happiness and joy. I love you, my child. I never wanted to resent you, you weren't a burden to me. You know what, kid?"
With that, the woman took the girl's head and looked into her round eyes.
"The name Ofariel, in the language of our country, means happiness to have, you are my happiness, and as long as you are by my side, then I will feel very satisfied. β
"But......... I can't. β
Listening to the woman's words, the girl shook her head in frustration.
"When I see you, Mother, being bullied, I can't be happy, and I won't be happy......... That's right!"
Saying this, the girl seemed to think of something, she waved her arms happily and raised her head.
"I'm going to work hard, I'm going to try to be a respectable, beloved person. At that time, everyone will stop bullying their mothers. If they will respect me, they will respect you. Mother, I assure you that I will, I will definitely become such a person, so that you will no longer be bullied and despised by these people, Mother! Let everyone love you, like you, and respect you! I will definitely do it!"
"I don't really care about that, O'Fariel...... Remember, the most important thing is that as long as you can be happy, then I am satisfied......"
"Mother's ............"
"Mother-sama........."
There was a soft, warm touch on her cheeks, as if it was like that time, and her mother helped her gently wipe away the tears from her face, and now............ When Ofaril opened her eyes, the first thing that caught her eye was a snow-white, softly glowing ceiling.
"This is ........."
"The rooms of the Mage Guild. β
Yuren's voice came from the side, and then his face appeared in Ofaril's vision.
"Looks like you're clearly not having a good dream. β
Looking at Offariel's pale face, Yuren shrugged his shoulders and spoke. After that, he took a break from retirement, borrowed a room from Larry Bod, and brought Ofariel with him. It is clear that this news is a very big blow to Ofariel. Her expression was very painful all the way, and she muttered something to herself from time to time, and the tears almost never stopped. The strong girl, who had always believed in herself, seemed to have been completely crushed by the news. In order to take care of Ofaril, and also to ensure that the illusory magic in her body would not run out of control again, Yuren stayed by her side. As for the Church of Grace, Larry Bode had promised him that he would solve it. As for His Majesty's side, there may be no problems for the time being, but before that, Larry Bode also had a small reminder.
"It is clear that His Majesty does not have a good impression of you, and, I don't think he has yet to figure out the seriousness of the matter. The conflict between you and the Church of Holy Grace is probably what His Majesty the King meant. Otherwise, no matter how bold the Church of Holy Grace was, it would not dare to challenge the royal authority in such a face-to-face. β
Of course, this was not Yuren's concern, he had no interest in what His Majesty was thinking, because whatever he tried to do to himself would inevitably fail, so why care?
"I ............"
O'Faryl sat up and stared at Julien in a bit of a daze, then she lowered her head and sighed.
"I'm sorry, Lord-sama Yuren, I lost my temper. β
"It's nothing, don't apologize to me, I don't have anything to lose anyway. β
Hearing Ofariel's response, Yuren waved her hand, signaling that she didn't have to take it to heart.
"But ........."
O'Faryl turned her neck with some difficulty, but she felt a faint pain in the back.
"Sir, can't you be more tactful?"
"It was forced by the situation, have you forgotten that if it were a little later, and the illusory magic completely burst out, then this tower would have completely become a pile of scrap metal. But............ Looks like you still have the strength to complain, much better than I thought. β
β.....................β
Hearing this, Ofaryl forced herself to smile a little, in fact, her heart was already a mess, and her brain was completely blank, and she didn't know what to do. And it was precisely because she was afraid of her own state that she desperately tried to face Yulian with her usual attitude, hoping that she could at least calm down on the surface.
"Well, you've slept all day, and you're presumably hungry, so I'll go get something. β
With that, Julien stood up, walked out of the room, and stood in the doorway and waved to Ofaril.
"By the way, the mage's stuff can't be eaten indiscriminately, I'd better go outside and take a look...... Goodbye, then, Miss O'Faryl. β
Then, without waiting for Ofariel's answer, Julien closed the door.
Ofaril stared blankly at the door for a long time before slowly lowering her head.
"Thank you......... Yuren-sama. β
Then she began to weep bitterly.
"Whew......... What a hassle. β
Leaving the Mage Tower, Yulian walked through the clean, tidy streets, admiring the night scenery. Of course, the so-called excuse for O'Faryl to go out and buy something to eat. Yulian could already see that the former princess's mood had stabilized, and of course, he also knew very well that what Offariel needed at the moment was not comfort, but an outlet. Although he has been with this princess for a long time. However, it is clear that Ofaril clearly does not think of himself as the kind of being who can speak freely. Otherwise, she would have cried as early as when she opened her eyes. Instead of putting on a forced smile in front of yourself. So, Yuren was going to leave, leaving the princess a little time to sort out her emotions -- in fact, in some ways, Yuren and O'Faryl were the same kind of people, and it was difficult for them to show their true side in front of others, and it was their favorite choice to indulge when they were alone to relieve their stress.
So, what to do now?
At this moment, the night is already dark, and if it were in another area, I am afraid that it would have fallen into a dark sleep. But here it is different, perhaps since human beings have mastered certain powers, they are not willing to submit to the arrangements of nature, and in the world in which Yuren once lived, people relied on the civilization in their hands to recklessly turn the night and the night upside down, and still carry out their activities after everything has rested, and it is the same here. Magical technology that works through the power of Manna ensures light and heat, so even at night, the royal city is bustling with activity. However, as night fell, some transactions that were inconvenient to appear in the sun also began to prevail. However, Yulian clearly didn't mean to get involved, he thought for a moment, then raised his head and looked in the opposite direction of the Mage Tower.
Although Larry Bode promised himself that he would solve the problem, after all these years, it was unknown what would become of that child. Moreover, even if he was back then, I'm afraid there was nothing that would be in line with Yu Lian's thoughts.
"By the way, let's go around, it's not a trip in vain to get a mental damage fee. β
Talking to himself, Yuren turned around and walked towards the other side of the target.
And at this time, in the sacred and luxurious hall of the Church of Holy Grace, the momentum can be described as dignified.
"This is a provocation to us!, Archbishop!!"
The man in the red robe clenched his fists, his face flushed with anger.
"How dare he defy our holy judgment and even do so, Archbishop, please give the order to send out the Knights of Holy Grace to arrest this damned murderer!
"You have violated my orders. β
The old man, dressed in a holy robe, stood in the middle of the hall, he was very old, and his face even resembled the bark of a tree that was beginning to differentiate, and he could only see his facial features. The old bishop just stood there, indifferent, yet calm.
"I gave you an order not to conflict with him, have you all forgotten my words?"
"But ........."
Hearing this, the red-clothed protagonist frowned, and then he immediately distinguished.
"But he has tarnished the splendor of Holy Mana, and besides, our parishioners have been murdered so brutally, and we must seek justice for them............!
"Well, you don't have to say anything. β
Before the cardinal could finish his words, the old bishop had already interrupted him.
"Of course, I have my reasoning, and this is also for the sake of the church, and if you do this, you will only cause disaster. I am old, but I am still the archbishop here, and I have a responsibility to defend the interests of the Church of Holy Grace. But you don't understand that, well, for now, I just hope things settle down, not ........."
Before the old bishop could finish his words, suddenly the door was pushed open, and a guard stumbled in amid the surprised and puzzled eyes of the crowd, and then he did not even have time to salute the archbishop in front of him, so he said breathlessly.
"Report, report to the archbishop, big, big, big thing, not good, not good. Just now, outside, a man came in, and he ...... He asks to see you! and asks you to apologize to him for your mistake!"
What the?
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. The old bishop, however, opened his eyes completely, and he pondered for a moment with a somewhat complicated expression, and then let out a long sigh.
"So, let's go check it out. β
Led by the archbishop, several cardinals walked out of the hall with him to the front yard of the church, and then they saw a scene that made them frown.
Originally, the front yard was used as a place for prayers and spiritual practice for believers, and even in the evening, many devout believers came to worship, and it has always been a very peaceful and peaceful place. But now, the believers were hiding in the corners, shivering, and watching in horror at a young nobleman standing in the center. He looked no more than twenty years old, with black hair and black eyes, and a graceful smile common to ordinary nobles, but there was not so harmony in front of him--the two church guards fell in a pool of blood at his feet, without a sound, and as far as the present situation was concerned, he should be dead and could not die again.
Seeing this scene made the bishops angry, no matter who they were, they dared to kill people in the Church of Holy Grace, which is undoubtedly a great disrespect!!
"Who are you, how dare you trespass on the sacred church and commit such a murderous crime!"
"It really surprised me. β
Hearing the cardinal's roar, Yuren raised his head and glanced at them with his eyelids raised.
"I don't think it's a decision for a noble bishop to pat my head when you give me an order to take me to some sacred judgment. β
"You're the murderer!!"
Hearing Yu Lian's answer, the cardinal from before was even more indignant.
"Cruel, wicked madman, we haven't gone to you yet, but we have sent it to the door ourselves!Now, I want you to know how terrible the wrath of Holy Mana is!!"
As he spoke, the cardinal raised his hand and made a gesture, followed by a heavy, loud trumpet. Then the door of the church suddenly opened, and out of it came two horsemen on horseback and in armor. But Yulian still stood there leisurely, his eyes swept over the two cavalrymen in front of him, and he sneered.
"I really didn't expect the church to be so good at acting. β
"Now it's useless for you to utter any more wild words, murderer. β
Seeing the reinforcements from his side appear, the cardinal was also reassured.
"These two are the Knights of Grace who protect the Church, and your existence has defiled the evil of Holy Mana, and it must be purified!"
"Holy grace is above, and it is actually a knight of holy grace. β
"Manna bless, Manna bless!"
Hearing the cardinal's words, Yulian didn't say anything, but the group of believers next to him had already shouted. They had also been very angry and angry at Yuren's actions before. But after the other party killed the two church guards, these believers immediately understood that they were not opponents, and they were only sent to death if they rushed forward. Although they are devout, they do not give their lives for it. So they have been praying and praying for the protection of Holy Mana. But even they didn't expect to see two knights of holy grace here?!
Yulian lowered his eyes, as if he didn't mean to pay attention. However, this does not mean that the other party will not act.
"Go, Holy Guardians, and destroy this evil fanatic with your blades!"
At the cardinal's command, the two knights of the Holy Grace shouted at the same time, and then, with their horses, rushed towards Yuren at a rapid pace.
As the church's front yard, the space is large enough to accommodate a gathering of thousands of people. So, even a knight to launch a charge is more than enough. Soon, two knights of the Holy Grace had rushed in front of Yuren, calling out for Mana's protection, and then raised their swords with divine radiance.
And at this moment, Yu Lian's right hand grasped the hilt of the sword.
Black light flashed, and the blade came out of its sheath.
The two Knights of Grace noticed a flash of black light in front of them almost at the same time, and then, the horses they were controlling immediately lost control, and these two knights of Grace had been in a hundred battles, so they naturally would not lose their inch. They shouted in unison, then jumped up and jumped into the air, the long sword in their hands was castrated, still stabbing at the target in front of them.
At the same time, the swept black light bounced as if it had suddenly hit something, and it made a diagonal line from the bottom up in the air, and shot quickly into the chest of one of the Knights of Grace.
What a speed!
In the face of this sudden attack, the hearts of the two Saint-Grace Knights sank, and the Saint-Grace Knight, who was attacked, immediately reversed the sword and turned from attack to defense, trying to resist this wave of attack. And the other person still maintains an offensive posture, after all, with two against one, no matter what, Yulian will not have a chance to block.
The black light and the long sword shining with divine brilliance intertwined, colliding, and emitting a crisp clashing sound, but at the same time as the collision, the black light that shot through turned in a straight line again, swayed diagonally in the air, and then suddenly slashed straight down to the right!
This is what Yuren is best at swordsmanship - Flash Sheath Triple Chain!
"Wooh!!"
The Divine Guardian Light was unable to stop Yuren's attack, and in the end, the black light struck the opponent's shoulder, and the hapless Holy Grace Knight screamed and flew backwards. But at the same time, the other person's long sword had already stabbed in front of Yu Lian's body!
The sharp sword whistled down with the whistling wind and divine brilliance, piercing the black figure without hindranceβbut the next moment, the black figure twisted and vanished into thin air.
Accelerate the charge.
At this moment, Yu Lian himself had turned into a ray of light, flashing the opponent's attack, but the black long sword in his hand was castration, and after a perfect semicircle in the air, it returned to the scabbard behind Yu Lian's waist, and then, there was a slight collision sound.
"Ding!"
The black light converged and then erupted again.
Stream flashes hands.
Once again, the impact re-erupted sheath, and its power and speed had completely surpassed the previous blow. In fact, when Yuren activated the accelerated charge to dodge the attack, and at the same time used the Flowing Flash, it was only a split second, and the Holy Grace Knight had not even hit the ground, and the Flowing Flash's burst of attack had already flipped over and stabbed him straight in the back.
"Oops!!"
Sensing the sound of the wind and the icy chill behind him, the second knight of Grace was also shocked, and he hurriedly tried to turn around, while raising his sword horizontally, trying to dodge the blow. In the end, however, he was not able to do so -- the black light pierced through his defenses and stabbed him in the chest.
Blood splatters.
"Boom!!"
With a heavy crash, the poor creature had fallen to the ground heavily, blood pouring from the wounds on his body, staining the snow-white ground.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but gasp, and only then did they notice Yu Lian's terrible for the first time.
Holy Grace is above, these are not those ordinary guard soldiers, but two Holy Grace Knights!! and in front of this young man, they have not exerted any strength at all. They couldn't even grapple with each other, and just one blow completely incapacitated them from fighting. What does this mean? This shows that this young man's strength is so much higher than them that there is no way to evaluate it!!
"Kah!!"
Just when everyone was stunned, Yu Lian had already stepped on the body of the Holy Grace Knight who had fallen to the ground, and then, with an indifferent expression, swept around, and then turned his backhand, and the pitch-black long sword penetrated the heavy helmet without the slightest hindrance and inserted it into the opponent's head.
"It seems that my compensation for mental damage is going to be increased again. β
Then, Yulian said with a smile.
(To be continued)
