CHAPTER XXIII

Raphael's back was wet and cold, he lowered his head, the light in his eyes dimmed, and then, his eyes changed, revealing a trace of reverence, became watery, looked up at St. Paul and said: "Your Majesty, how dare I resent, I am afraid of your majesty, I am just a servant of Linkou Village, and I am not related to the people of Linkou Village, and Lord Hans of Linkou Village often abuses me, which Your Majesty can confirm by any person from a nearby town." I am also involved in Her Highness Gloria's plans, and Your Majesty can rest assured of me. ”

St. Paul's robe calmed down, he thought about it for a moment, at least Raphael was involved in Glori's plan, it was by no means a childish child, and Raphael said that things could be found out as soon as he looked them up, he gestured to Glori's female bodyguard, who nodded and turned to go out.

The handsome face of São Paulo became kind in an instant, he was so natural, that kind feeling, it was like a spring breeze, and the whole room seemed to be full of peace and tranquility. He stretched his palm, took out a pale golden holy leaf with holy patterns, and the leaf floated towards Raphael, he said: "You are very good, Raphael, willpower is very important, it is the key to crossing the physical barrier, this divine power mark is for your self-defense, didn't the mage say, great people are always the favorites of the goddess of luck." ”

Then his expression did not change, but his tone was extremely arrogant: "And I, hold down the noble head of the goddess of luck and let her give you the first kiss, and now you can activate this mark." ”

Raphael did not hesitate to inspire the seal, showing that he trusted the Pope.

The leaves scattered silently, turning into bits of golden light, which floated around the room, reflecting the whole room in gold, like the living room of a god, and the golden light slowly condensed and turned into a string stripe, which directly enveloped Raphael and submerged into his body.

A faint mark of holy light appeared in the middle of Raphael's snow-white forehead, which gave him a special and magical temperament, and he was a little more handsome.

Sao Paul was very satisfied with Raphael's unhesitating attitude, he nodded, and said: "The mark can allow you to use ten seconds of divine power, and experience the power beyond mortals, it will also help you in your future cultivation, do a good job for Gloria, she is my only bloodline." Ignoring him, he turned and walked out of the room.

Raphael knew that if he didn't talk nonsense, there were only several ways to kill himself, either with the same interests, or completely in a group, or by threatening Galidu.

He looked at St. Paul's back with a grateful face and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for cultivating, I will dedicate everything for Your Highness, even if there are demons in the way, I will not flinch." ”

Valerie had been keeping her head down, but now she finally raised her head, patted her chest slightly, and made a frightened expression at Raphael.

Gloria smiled and said, "Raphael, you are very fast, very smart, and very potential, you are willing to be my Holy Blood Knight." As he spoke, he put his little hand on the back of Raphael's hand.

The Blood Knight is different from ordinary knights, it is a private full-time knight, just like Glory's two female guards, who can die for her at any time, and are also the closest people to her.

St. Paul's actions in the village came to mind in Raphael's mind, and Gloria was the daughter of Saint Paul, and he unconsciously dodged Glori's hand before he realized his abnormality, and he immediately said with a twinkle in his eyes: "Of course I do." ”

Glori's eyes lit up with silver, and she said, "Raphael, I am the Pope's daughter, but I am no different from ordinary people. ”

Raphael nodded, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Gloria grabbed his hand and said, "Aren't you very bold, my dear? ”

Raphael swallowed with difficulty, calmed down, and said, "Yes, my dear, if there is anything, please tell me, and I will take my leave." ”

Gloria thought that Raphael was discouraged from her, and was a little annoyed in her heart, her status made her almost no contact with different surnames, and she looked up to Raphael, especially Raphael just liked her, without any other intentions, she pinched Raphael's chin, stared at him, and said, "Raphael, what are you thinking? ”

This completely reminded Raphael of that scene, his eyes could not be controlled, he looked at Glori's beautiful body, and then bowed and saluted, and was about to leave.

Gloria tossed him a badge and giggled, "Wait, dear, I allow you to kiss your hand every time you meet or leave." As he spoke, he extended his hand to Raphael.

Raphael still had that scene flashing in his mind, he didn't even notice that the kiss was not proper at all, he took Glori's slender little hand, trembled his lips and kissed it, until he realized that he had kissed for too long, and saw Glori's smiling expression, his face turned red, and he turned around and left, ignoring even etiquette.

He walked out of the church and headed towards the magic tower, Glori's true identity made him a little dazed, until he turned into a side street and felt a faint fluctuation in the green dot in his soul, so he was startled, and immediately hid behind a high canal, paying attention to his surroundings.

Since there are archers, they will definitely attack from afar, he looked at the corner in front of the street, and analyzed it according to what he had learned, and found that the corner in front of him was the most suitable place to attack him, where the houses on both sides were low, and along the low roof, there was an abandoned low wall, probably built for street fighting in the previous war, and then because it was in the slums, after this low wall was demolished for a while, no one cared about it anymore, and kept it.

The ambush man is always patient, Raphael pulled out two daggers, simply emptied himself, adjusted his mental power to the best state, and sure enough, no one appeared.

This kind of task, if you don't let it fail, it will be entangled, Raphael gritted his teeth, felt that the current situation was more favorable to him, he no longer hesitated, sensed the green dot and did not increase the fluctuation, just stared ahead, his body couldn't help shaking, and went to the corner of the street, and tried to take advantage of the obstacles on the street, so as not to let the direction of the low wall see himself.

When he jumped again and hid in a flower bed, he finally saw the mage hidden in the street corner in front of him, who was wearing an earthy yellow robe.

He relaxed a little, it seemed that there was only one mage and one archer, and he still had the ability to fight back.

After the mage saw Raphael, he no longer waited for the archer, he looked at the mage apprentice robe on Raphael's body, and felt that he was making too much of a fuss, he chanted a magic staff, and the peculiar syllables drove the elements in the air to condense rapidly, and a foot-long stone thorn immediately formed in the air, whistling and stabbing at Raphael.

Raphael was startled, knowing that this was an intermediate magic, and when the stone spike first appeared, he leaped sideways and rolled towards the canal to the side, activating the shield at the same time.

The stone thorn did not stab Raphael, but it exploded, and the sharp stone chips flew one after another, and the flowers and trees in the flower bed were instantly broken into branches and leaves, and the splinters exploded at Raphael at the same time.

A white ripple erupted from Raphael's body, blocking all the rubble, and then with a "whoosh", an arrow with a green fighting spirit broke Raphael's protective ripples and shot at him.

Fortunately, the arrow was hit by the shield, deflected, and flew quickly along his waist, sticking to the ground, and the tail of the arrow that exposed the ground trembled violently.

Raphael felt a pain in his lower back, feeling that he had made a cut, but it should not be serious, because his body did not feel weak, he felt cold in his heart, and before the second blow of the two ambushers, he desperately ran towards the mage through the obstacle, and inspired a fireball to hit the direction of the arrow on the low wall.

The mage was amazed that even with equipment, magic apprentices could easily interrupt magic, while Raphael was able to use it in rolling and running.

He looked at Raphael, who was rapidly approaching, and began to unleash a small magic at a fast speed, and a small stone ball appeared in front of him, spinning and rapidly hitting Raphael.

Raphael saw that the mage's lips moved, so he dodged in advance, and the stone ball grazed his body, "bang" and smashed on the stone slab ground, the stone ball magic is not a stone, it is made of earth magic, and the hard street stone slab can't withstand the impact of the stone ball at all, and it suddenly shatters.

After successfully avoiding the stone ball sent by the mage, Raphael felt that he could not hesitate any longer, because the archer had a powerful skill, although this skill was limited by distance, but he was not sure what the distance was, if the archer approached, then he would die.

He immediately ignited a second fireball, and cleared himself, attaching something to the fireball. This thing was very peculiar, and it did not collide with the magic of the fireball, and he felt that his prediction was correct, Raphael was overjoyed, and then he controlled the fireball and flew towards the mage with a "whirl".

The magic power on the mage's body fluctuated rapidly, and a small earthy yellow ripple instantly appeared on his side, and the ripple flicked his body, and his body moved two meters sideways, allowing him to avoid the fireball, this reaction speed is much faster than Raphael's, this is the mage's dodge technique, almost moving at will.

The fireball exploded on the ground behind the mage, and a small object flew out of the fireball, spinning around and submerging into the mage's body.

If the mage was normal, he would definitely be able to sense the abnormality, but the explosion of the fireball and Raphael's apparent weakness made him ignore this small fluctuation.

At this time, another arrow flew towards Raphael, but apparently Raphael's fireball at the low wall also worked, and the arrow was very hasty and did not hit Raphael as he ran.

Raphael had achieved his goal and no longer rushed forward, and he began to flee along the canal.

The mage saw that he was very close, and was preparing a gravity technique, which consumed magic power in vain, and he thought that Raphael, the apprentice, had activated three spells, and his spiritual power should be exhausted, so he cursed himself, and rushed out of the street corner to pursue Raphael.

The archer couldn't help it, his face was black and gray, it was the fireball that hit Raphael, although he avoided the frontal explosion of the fireball, but the aftermath of the fireball explosion hit him, he jumped from the low wall to the roof, and quickly ran across the roof, jumped into the street, and rushed towards Raphael.

Raphael's speed was not fast because he had to dodge to prevent the two enemies' long-range attacks, and the distance between the archer and him was shortened in a moment.

The archer watched him move his hiding body, gritted his teeth, drew his bow, and shouted, "Look how you dodge this time!" and used a powerful skill, the Spiral Guiding Arrow.

Channeling, as the name suggests, can track the target being attacked, the archer has a channeling arrow, and the mage also has channeling magic, which is a very terrifying skill.

The arrow spun rapidly, breaking through the air and striking Raphael with a terrifying whistling sound.
