Iophta looked at Adehill in amazement, and then was a little speechless.
She always felt that she couldn't understand what she really meant, but looking at the girl's shining golden eyes, she couldn't bear to say it directly.
When Adehill first arrived at the Duke's Palace, Iofita followed Evan Ian to observe her, and the dragon princess at that time was still a girl with grief and lifeless eyes.
But I don't know what happened to Edhill on the first night of the Duke's Palace, but when she reappeared in front of everyone the next day, the dragon princess was still a little cringe, but she was obviously much more energetic, and Archduke Ferdinand was also aware of this.
As for now after a day of hanging out with Evan Ian...... Adehill was clearly overthinking.
Iofita suddenly realized that maybe this love for Dashiel was the real her, a carefree, innocent and kind little princess.
However, there were some things that Iofita had to say.
Her expression returned to seriousness, and Iofita looked at Edhill seriously: "Your Royal Highness Princess......"
In order to remind the other party, Iofita deliberately changed her name.
"Instead of worrying about me, I think you should worry more about yourself. The maid chief pondered her words, "Your question is more urgent than mine, and if in a few years, Master Ian decides that he is not willing to accept you, then your life is ......."
Iofita didn't finish, but Edhill understood what she meant.
The petite Princess Ragogue let go of Iofeta's hand and stood in front of her and smiled softly, though a little bitter, but very indifferent.
"Hmm......" Eddie Hill crossed her fingers and stretched lazily, "Hmm...... That being said, to be honest, I still don't know what I'm supposed to do......"
With her hands behind her back, Eddie Hill tiptoed her little feet as clean as a lotus, walked slowly to the window, rested her slender jade fingers on the window glass, and looked at the land of Nanling at night.
"The mission of the Dragon Song family should have ended by me. More and more people in Nanling have chosen to abandon our Longge clan. Just like what my father-in-law said to my father, we, who have been abandoned by the times, are just the source of chaos and the bloodline of curses. There are countless people who want to get me and use me, and those who really need me and agree with me have all left this world. Although I have indeed seriously considered ending my life by assassinating my father-in-law—"
Iophta listened silently to Edhill's confession. When Edhill said this, she also paused, confirmed the reaction of the head maid, and found that she was not surprised, before continuing: "However...... Sure enough, I am still the daughter of my father. ”
The golden dragon pupils reflected the beauty on the glass, and Eddie Hill looked at her delicate face, but her heart followed the memory, stepping through the long river of time, "My biological father...... The Blood Dragon King Ulysses Dragon Song is just an ordinary Nanling short-lived species. Before he met his mother, he was just an ordinary slave of the Empire. He does not have the powerful force of the immortal seed, nor does he have the long life span of the immortal seed, but he has a more lofty ideal than any immortal seed, and the superior wisdom and insight that matches it. ”
Edhill spoke about her father in fits and starts, and Iofeta, though she didn't know what the dragon princess was trying to say, remained silent and continued to listen.
"Although the subjects and enemies always call him the Blood Dragon King in awe and fear, and sarcastically mock him in private as a dragon stealer, but in my eyes, my father is an excellent king who does his best to deal with military and political affairs day and night for the people of Nanling, and wants to expel the imperial invaders from Nanling and liberate the people of Nanling from the imperial slave owners. ”
"He always told me and my brothers and sisters, since we were born into the royal family, we are the pillars of the people and the heart of the country. To live, we must live for the people and the country, and to die, we must also die for the people and the country, because only in this way can we be worthy of supporting us and providing for our people. ”
Eddie Hill smiled clearly, and the will to die, which had faded, rekindled in her pupils.
"So, although I don't want to die yet, if my death can really bring peace and happiness to the people of the Nanling Land, then even if I am allowed to die, I think I can accept it-"
"Because of this, it is probably the choice that my father, who loves Nanling and his people, far more than himself and his family, is looking forward to ......."
There was a soft moan from behind, and Evan Ian turned back to see the girl sitting up with her shackled hands on the ground.
"I'm ......" It seems that she has just woken up, and her memory is still a little vague, holding her forehead and swaying, a trace of pain suddenly crossed her expression-
"Hmm!"
She clutched her chest.
Evan Ian walked up to her, crouched down, took her hand, and opened the shackles on her hand under the girl's slightly dazed gaze: "You're wounded, it's night, so you can't find a priest." But it seems that you also have a lot of magic yourself, so treat it yourself. ”
The girl rubbed her wrists, raised her head, looked at Evan Ian with those crimson pupils, her eyes were clear, and she nodded seriously: "Thank you." ”
She folded her hands in front of her chest, and the white light of the magic shone slightly for more than ten seconds, and the treatment was over.
The girl got up from the ground, she looked at Evan Ian sincerely, but the words she said made Evan Ian look dumbfounded: "Thank you for your rescue, I am the direct judge of the Holy Sunnah Inquisition, Kate Koshner, may I ask Sir what is your name?"
Rescue her!?This stupid girl shouldn't have reacted to the fact that she was captured?Is she so kind?Evan Ian subconsciously pinched his face.
Resisting the urge to laugh wildly in his heart, Evan Ian looked slightly awkward, and stretched out his right hand to the girl: "No, contemptible, I haven't been able to save you from the black blood heresy, Evan Ian, Miss Priest. ”
The girl subconsciously shook Evan Ian's hand, and looked at him with some confusion in her pure and immaculate eyes: "So ......?"
Evan Ian nodded to her, "Because the contemptible is Evan Ian himself." ”
The crimson pupils paused silently for a moment, and after a long while, the beautiful pupils dilated violently.
"You!"
The girl jumped backwards, only to be caught in the shackles on her feet and fell to the ground.
When she fell to the ground, she still wanted to condense the holy flame in her hand: "Black blood heresy!
However, when she said this, she subconsciously retreated, completely forgetting that she was a paladin and that Evanian was a mage.
It seems that the previous battle left a lot of psychological shadows on her......
Thinking like this in his heart, Evan Ian restrained his smile, and he looked at the girl with a cold face: "If you burn one thing in my house, then I will kill one of the judges of the Sunnah, and if you burn more than ten things, then I will kill all the captives in my hands." ”
The girl's angry expression froze, and the holy power that had just been condensed in her hand dissipated instantly.
"Impossible...... Father Abel they ......"
Seeing that the girl was still muttering to herself, Evanian couldn't help but laugh in her heart, hey, this girl is too easy to deceive, so easy to be fooled......
"Abel?" Evanian pulled back his chair and sat down, then resumed acting, "There is no name among the captives. Are you a friend?"
Although an acquaintance who claims to have caught the girl may have more control over the girl, it also increases the risk of exposure. And Evan Ian felt that he was still very familiar with these church knights, except for a few people with a twisted mentality like Lamberts, most of the paladins were jealous and hateful, but they were also naïve and weak, and it was very effective to threaten their companions.
Sure enough,
Hearing Evan Ian's words, looking at his non-fake expression, the chrome-haired girl was frightened and uneasy for a while, and finally gritted her teeth angrily: "You black-blooded person...... What exactly do you want to do to them?!"
"What do I do to you?" Hearing the girl's words, Evan Ian suddenly snorted loudly, "If you hadn't come to the door yourself, I would have cared which onion you were! I was walking on my way home in my own territory, and I provoked you to provoke your Sunnah? Suddenly I slashed at you with a sword?! If it were an ordinary person, I would have been hacked to death by you a long time ago! Is the Sunnah Inquisitor amazing? I didn't even confirm the results of the divine appraisal, so I casually killed people?"
Kate was dumbfounded by Evan Ian's questioning. Her voice became a little weak, and she muttered, "I didn't think about killing, I was going to subdue ......"
"Ah~ It's so beautiful, punish and eliminate evil. Evan Ian interrupted her and continued to taunt bitterly, "It seems that as long as you shout the slogan of justice, you can violate the law and dogma, casually beat up people who you suspect are villains, and beat people up, only to find out in the end that it is not, and then casually apologize, 'Ah! I'm sorry, I made a mistake,' and just perfunctory - you think justice is your child's wine?!"
After getting up from the ground, Kate maintained a distance of more than two meters from Evan Ian, and stood in the middle of the room looking embarrassed, but she suddenly came to her senses: "No! You are obviously Evan Ian the Black Blood!
"Don't divert the topic!" Evan Ian scolded a little roughly, "Let's not mention the results now, let's talk about your law enforcement process first." ”
"I ask you, after you released the Faction Identification God, you can confirm that I am Evan Ian...... No, I should say, can you confirm that I'm a black blood?"
Kate's head was a little confused by Evan Ian's words, she didn't understand why the other party was telling her this, she wanted to follow Father Andrewson's previous orders, and arrest this heretic. But he feared that the lives of his captured companions would be threatened - this man was a terrible black-blooded heretic, and he could do anything with blood on his hands!
What's more, although Kate is confident, it is impossible for a mage on the other side to defeat herself at such a close distance, but her too casual and calm posture can't help but greatly reduce her self-confidence.
It was then that she suddenly remembered what the Templar had said to her.
What these skin demons are best at is demagogy, so when fighting them, don't listen to a word from their mouth, let alone answer their questions.
However, Kate's silence did not affect Evangel's interest, and seeing that Kate did not seem to have any intention of answering, Evan Ian continued to speak to himself.
"Is silence the acquiescence? ”
"Then I'll ask you again, when you unleashed the Judgment Word Technique, and it didn't hit me, can you confirm that I'm a black-blooded person at that time?"
"Still silent? Then I'll continue with your acquiescence. ”
"All in all, the conclusion is that you have not been able to confirm my identity for two consecutive identification techniques, and in this case, you have taken action against me. ”
"And then, you call this kind of thing justice?!"
Evan Ian stood up, picked up a book from the table, and slammed it into Kate's face with a "snap".
"Look at what the canons of the gods say about your behavior!"
was hit hard, Kate's heart instantly rose with anger, but when she heard Evan Ian's words, she was suddenly stunned, she looked down, and the thick book in her hand was a canon of the gods.
"Sixth Covenant, Anlilah Covenant, page 183, line 6 begins—"
However, as the voice of the young man (teenager?) in front of her continued, Kate's memory was reviving, and her fingers couldn't help but tremble because of the shock.
The disciple Malev raised his hand, but no one answered. The gods have decreed that the unclean knights will appear on their own, and the light of judgment will be over them, and the pure white light will turn into blue and purple, and the truth will be revealed.
The unclean thing was dragged out of the hall by his comrades, and Marev told them that the gods were just, and that they had done this to him because he had disobeyed their commands and teachings. Hear me, all people, and behold his afflictions. I called to him whom I loved, but he fooled me, and my priests and elders were seeking food to save their lives, but because he was in the city. ”
"Behold, O gods, for he is a great disobedience, and hath bereaved a man with his sword outward, and is like death at home. Because of what he did, we were afflicted. He rejoices in our enemies, and may all his wicked deeds be presented to you, and as he has sinned against you, do to him likewise—"
"That's enough!" Kate suddenly interrupted Evan Ian's recitation loudly, she couldn't help the tremor in her heart, and subconsciously knelt on the ground and covered her ears. She couldn't accept that she was just a heretic, but she knew the canon better than her, and even mocked her with the words of the gods, "That's the teachings of the gods, coming out of the mouth of a heretic like you will only make me sick!"
"Disgusting?" Evan Ian snorted coldly, "Is it me who is disgusting, or is it you who asked me to read this passage?"
Evanian stood up, walked over to the girl, and kicked her, "Are God's teachings just such weak words to you?"
"It is clearly the same teaching, and if it comes out of the mouth of a heresy it is the language of the devil, and if it comes out of the mouth of a priest it is the truth—"
In Kate's eyes, what Evan Ian showed at her was a real, demonic smile.
"Are you really sure that you believe in the gods, not in a few clergy?"
