Chapter 114: Departure
"Drink!!"
Dazzling firelight flashed through the darkness and struck the dark shadow in front of him.
Judy held the sword in her hand, her body jumped up like a swallow, and the raging flames erupted with her body, and the long sword in her hand was already white and dazzling at the momentβthe hottest part of the flame had completely gathered on her sword, and even the surrounding air began to twist, shake, and shake because of the heat.
Then, she stretched out her left hand, pressed her right wrist, and swung it down vigorously.
The waves of fire turned into a waterfall and rushed straight down, enveloping the black shadows in it, and even the ground changed shape and color under the barbecue of the flames. But with the invisible wind tearing the flames, several black shadows suddenly shot out from it, like a poisonous snake that chooses to devour people, and pounced on the girl in mid-air.
But such an attack did not achieve the desired effect at all, in the face of the attack that came from the burst, Judy slumped down, and at the same time, a stream of hot air turned into a strong air current, pushing the girl's body to turn away in the air, and she was able to dodge the attack of those black shadows, and at the same time as she landed, Judy screamed, and then held the long sword and stabbed forward.
"Boom!!"
A fiery red circle of light stretched out to the periphery, and with this roar, a low, heavy muffled sound sounded, when the flames dissipated, only a heavy, huge constructed armor on the ground could be seen half-kneeling on the ground, behind it, several long black whips hung softly on the ground, at this moment, the belly of this black armor had been deeply dented. Then, the spider-web-like shattering lines continued to radiate in the center, and the heavy armor shattered and fell, turning into shining crystals and disappearing into the air, revealing the inner Ofariel, and at this moment, the former princess covered her abdomen with her forehand, and breathed heavily with a pale face.
"How?"
Looking at Ofariel, who was trembling all over her body and gritting her teeth and standing up, Yulian asked.
"Very good, Your Excellency. β
Judy nodded, looking at Ofaryl with a hint of appreciation in her eyes. She casually threw away the completely melted side sword, and then spoke. During the time the twin sisters were asleep, Ofariel's training was left to Judy, although a temporary substitution would be a big problem for a fighter's training. But it was different in the case of Her Royal Highness the former princess - all she had learned so far was to be beaten, so who was beaten was not the central part of the question.
"Given the amount of time Miss O'Faryl has been studying, her progress has been rapid. Although it is still lacking in attack, in terms of protection, it can already be compared to a mid-level swordsman. However, considering her soul form, this is also a matter of course. β
For humans, being able to awaken soul power is a sign of entering the middle rank. However, since O'Faryl is a soul body and is naturally able to use soul power, it is not very difficult for her to mobilize and use soul power. That's why Judy has this to say, but her evaluation is not wrong, after all, now Judy has fully awakened and has the strength of the knight class, and in the face of her full blow, O'Faril can not only block, but even try to counterattack, although the result is not satisfactory, but in terms of her strength, it is already a very appreciable reaction to be able to have such a move.
Moreover, in this kind of training, Ofariel's phantom armor form is also constantly changing, as if it is using an instinctive way to cope with the battle, slowly making changes and adaptations. Each time Ofariel summons the Warframe, it takes a different form than before, and now, the way it attacks has changed. But unfortunately, at the current level, it is still a little too difficult to resist a knight's attack.
"Whew............ Call............ Phew..............."
Leaning against the wall, Ofariel slowly stood up, her hands and feet shaking involuntarily. It's no wonder that although the illusion armor of the Illusory Shadow structure is very protective, it is still impossible to guarantee that the user will be unharmed in the face of a knight's unsparing attack, and she gasped for breath to relieve her physical pain, which is not just an ordinary attack. In fact, the first thing O'Faril felt at the moment was not pain, but a touch similar to coldness, but in the blink of an eye, this coldness turned into an incomparably hot heat, radiating towards his body, and the bursts of pain seemed to be endless, even if O'Faryl had already received special training from the twin sisters, there was still no way to adapt himself to this terrible pain.
But even so, the current Ofariel still gritted his teeth stubbornly and refused to cry out in front of Yurien. But in the next moment, she heard two very familiar voices from behind Yulian.
"It's really a big sister. β
"I got used to it so quickly. β
"Messiah was pleased. β
Seminya felt relieved. β
"Being able to catch a blow from Sister Judy. β
"It shows that the results of the training have not been in vain. β
With this unique way of speaking, the sisters walked out from behind Yuren holding hands, and they looked at Ofaril in front of them, smiling softly.
"Sister O'Fariel, you're doing a good job. β
β............ You.................. You ..............."
Seeing the two sisters appear, Offariel also breathed a long sigh of relief and laughed, she opened her mouth to say something, but the severe pain forced her to close her mouth, and after a few breaths of cold air, it eased. At this moment she felt a burning pain in her abdomen - as if someone had made a hole in it and stuffed it with a dozen red-hot stones. Although it is impossible for the spirit to die again, Ofaril is really very suspicious, if he is relieved, then he may pass out on the spot. After all, the attack strength of the knight level should not be underestimated.
"Miss Messiah, Miss Semina, are you all right?"
"We're fine, Sister O'Faryl. β
"Everything worked fine without any problems. β
In the face of Ofariel's inquiry, the two sisters tilted their heads obediently, and then replied with a smile. Then, they turned to look at Yuren.
"In this way, you can rest assured that Sister Ofariel, brother. β
"We can go ahead with the plans we've already booked, Dad. β
"Plan?"
Hearing this, Ofariel was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Yuren.
"What are you going to do, Lord Yuren? As a lord, I think you seem to have too much time to run out........."
"Of course I have my reasons. β
In response to Ofariel's inquiry, Yuren shrugged his shoulders, a meaningful smile on his face.
"Miss O'Faryl, do you remember the discussion we had about the war?"
"War?"
Hearing this, Ofaril frowned and thought for a moment, then her eyes widened in surprise.
"What do you mean ..............."
"We have a month and a half to go. β
Although Yuren's answer was a little ambiguous, Ofaril clearly understood the hidden meaning of his words, which made the former princess silent for a moment before hesitating to ask.
"Are you really going to do that, my lord?"
"Of course. β
Julien nodded slightly, not saying anything more, while Ofaril lowered her head and stared at the ground. Because of this, she did not look at the uneasy and sympathetic look that Judy and the twin sisters exchanged at this time.
"I see, my lord. β
Eventually, O'Faryl seemed to have made a difficult decision, and she gritted her teeth and replied.
"If this is your order, then I will go and do it. β
"Good. β
Hearing this, Yulian patted his hand lightly.
"Well, then, Valhalla is going to be handed over to you, remember, our policy remains the same, during this time, do not admit outsiders, do not give them residency, and, in particular, do not let the Church of Grace in, I think you also know what they did in our city some time ago, as the lord of the Twilight Forest, I don't want this to happen one after another. β
"I see, my lord. β
Ofaril opened her mouth to ask something, but when she saw Yuren give her a look, she immediately agreed. At this moment, Yulian turned to look at Judy who was standing next to him.
"Judy, those recruits are left to you, you can take them out to experience the experience if necessary, we only have this month and a half, if they don't meet our expectations, you can go to Charlotte, I'm sure she will have a good solution. Remember, our goal is to raise an army that is competent enough to protect the city, and you need to grasp that. Also, keep an eye on what's going on in the city, and if there's any further disturbance, you can report it to Offariel and let her handle it. β
"Yes, Your Excellency. β
Judy quietly listened to Yulian's instructions and nodded. But then, she made a suggestion with some concern.
"But do you need our company on this trip? If you need to, I can send a few people......... After all, there will be a lot of dangers in this operation........."
"No need. β
Julien waved his hand and vetoed Judy's proposal.
"This time, I only need two people, Messiah and Semiya, to accompany me, it's not good to have too many people. β
After a brief explanation, everyone left the martial arts training ground, only Ofaril still stood quietly, waiting for Judy and the pair of sisters to disappear before she asked with some confusion.
"Lord Yuren, with all due respect, it is not a good thing for you to suppress the Church of Grace in this way. It is true that I have also heard Miss Judy's report on the cause of the incident, but in this case, it is all the more important for us to show our tolerance and generosity and keep each other behind. As long as we can control their actions, then things will work out for the better. And you have now made such a decision, although the Church of Holy Grace is not the state religion in the Kingdom of West, but it also has a deep influence, especially among the common people. If you are so hostile to the Church of Holy Grace, if it spreads, it will not be good for our future development. β
"I know all this you know, Miss O'Faryl. β
It wasn't until Ofariel finished speaking that Julien spoke slowly.
"And in fact, I can honestly tell you that I forbade the Church of Grace from appearing in the Twilight Forest for more personal reasons. β
"For more personal reasons, sir, if you don't agree with the ideals of the Church of Grace...............
"No, no, no. β
Julien interrupted Offariel's question with a wave of his hand, and then he smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
"While there are reasons for this, it's not the main one......... I would like to ask you, Miss O'Fariel, what do you think of Judy and Charlotte?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this question, Offariel looked at Yuren in surprise, she couldn't understand how it could involve them when she was talking about the Church of Holy Grace now, but she still answered honestly.
"Miss Charlotte and Miss Judy are very nice people and I like them a lot............ But what does this have to do with the Church of Grace? Do they hate the Church of Grace?"
"Hostility, to be exact. β
Yulian stretched out a finger and shook it slightly.
"You must know that Miss O'Fariel, Charlotte, Judy, and all the other geysers who inhabit here were killed by the Church of Grace. β
"Huh?!"
Hearing this, O'Faryl was really stunned, although as a royal princess, she also knew that the Church of Holy Grace was not as honest and honest as it seemed. But at most, it was just a priest involved in some illegal trade or a low-level business like a scoop, and she never imagined that the Church of Divine Grace would actually kill people, and it was a girl like Charlotte and Judy. Grace is on top! They're just girls!!Why? Why were they killed by the Church of Grace? Are these girls heretics? But from what they say and do, I don't feel that they have that kind of thought. So why did the Church of Grace poison these girls?
As a "later" spirit, Offariel didn't have much communication with the spirits, but she also knew that these spirits were girls, and they were all spirits, and she could easily feel the sadness, grief and anger hidden in the depths of these spirits. Although O'Fariel had speculated about the origin of these spirits in her spare time, she never imagined that their deaths would have something to do with the Church of Holy Grace.
"What the hell is going on, why are they being ...............?"
"This involves their **, and I personally don't have a good time to comment. β
Yulian didn't answer O'Faryl's question directly, and he wasn't prepared to answer it. Although he knew the ins and outs of the whole thing very well, even better than Judy and the others, however, this was the ** of those girls, and Yulian didn't plan to tell Ofaryl. It's not something his identity can meddle in, and it's not something he can decide.
"If you want to know, ask Judy and Charlotte, and I think they'll give you the answer. Now you can see why I didn't allow the Church of Grace to be in the Twilight Forest. β
"This ......... Of course I understand. β
This time, Ofaril quickly nodded in agreement, in fact, isn't it even the same himself, because he doesn't want to see the person who killed him, so he has been hiding here. She knew very well how that feeling of sadness, pain, and anger tormented the human soul. And if that's the case, then Julien wouldn't allow the Church of Grace to appear here, which would be a wise move. After all, if the Church of Grace really takes root here, then Judy and the others will definitely be unhappy, and the seeds of unrest may be planted because of this, and once a conflict breaks out between the two sides, the believers in the church in Valhalla are also likely to be involved, and in this case, things will become out of control - this is obviously not the situation that the two administrators, Yuren and Ofariel, want to see.
Looking at Offariel's expression, Yulian laughed inwardly. He didn't tell Ofariel that the Church of Grace was staring at the Twilight Forest because he had killed the Knights of Grace. As the saying goes, if he reveals this matter to O'Faryl, then maybe this princess will show some kind of weakness in the negotiations with the church in the future. But if she doesn't know anything, then she can tell outsiders that the whole thing has nothing to do with them.
"Then, I think the Church of Grace will send people to negotiate again in a few days, and this time I hope you can convey this message to them, the Church of Grace is not welcome in the Twilight Forest, and as for the specific reasons and opinions, I think you should already have a countermeasure. β
"I see, Lord Yuren, I'll think about it carefully. β
Although Yuren's words were a little untrue and unclear, Offariel didn't pay much attention to it at the moment, and she was still immersed in the shock of Charlotte and Judy's life experience, and she hadn't fully realized it. Another reason is that Yuren wasn't actually lyingβhe was just hiding part of the truth.
"When are you going to leave, Yuren-sama?"
"I'll leave tomorrow evening, I don't want to be seen by anyone............ Let's call Keys to do this, after all, as a businessman, he should have a lot of means to cross the world. β
"I see. β
