In the 189th year of the El Ronil calendar, in the eastern city of the Imperial City of Elonir, a private house was attacked by demonic forces. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The attack resulted in the disappearance of a new generation of Light Guardians, the deaths of four paladins and two civilians. Judging by the people who witnessed it, this was the case. Suddenly, a day's black smoke appeared in the sky, and this black smoke soon descended, completely enveloping the entire house. After a short while, the black smoke cleared, and a huge demonic flame rose into the air, quickly burning the entire house to nothing. All of them, including the four paladins who escorted Catherine back, were killed in the attack. However, there is no good news that there is no direct evidence of Catherine's death, which means that Catherine's condition can only be defined as missing at the moment!

At the scene, Lopez was still kneeling in place. At this time, he had stopped even choking silently, should he say that he had cried enough, or was he tired of crying? He stared blankly at the ruins in front of him, completely oblivious to the sudden appearance of several people in white uniforms around him, judging by the light when they came, they should be a group of powerful mages.

One of the mages with a long stick looked at Lopez in front of him, and then motioned for the other mages to come and see with a look of surprise. At his signal, the rest of the mages shifted their gaze from the demon-damaged ruins to the anguished boy.

"Is it true?" said the mage who had been the first to notice.

"There shouldn't be anything wrong!" the other mage nodded, solemnly.

They exchanged glances, and then the four of them silently chanted a spell together before quickly disappearing into thin air. Even Alatina, who had rushed over, couldn't see them.

After they disappeared, a special atmosphere in this space suddenly disappeared, and in general it was as if something had been repressed liberated. Those originally stiff pictures became vivid in an instant, no longer like a rough movie, and everything became... Harmony. After they disappeared, several more people appeared on the scene. They came on horseback, yes, a small squad of paladins. I guess it was because of the attack here. Alatina, who was on the side, saw them and immediately ran to a corner and hid.

After the team of paladins arrived at the scene, the captain of the team waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, and said with some concern: "It's the smell of enchantment." ”

"That's right, this taste, you can't go wrong, it's definitely an enchantment. Another practical nose next to the captain sniffed in the air like a puppy, and then immediately covered his nose with his hand. Looks like he has a special reaction to the smell of things like enchantments.

"No, how could there be a mage here at this time!" said one of the knights in surprise. You know, the mage profession is known for its mystery and power, and it's unbelievable to appear here.

"Could it be ...................." the captain hesitated for a moment, and said with some surprise.

"It must have something to do with the attack!" said several of the people present sitting on their horses. They all knew that the church had originally planned to hide Catherine directly in the church, and wait for her to have some power to protect herself before releasing it, instead of being seized by hostile forces like now. Of course, no one knows whether this hostile force is a demon or a .............. Because, mage, it's human.

"But that man should know something. The Paladin, who was at the head, pointed to Lopez, who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, and said with blank eyes.

The other paladin nodded, and explained like everyone else: "I know that person, he seems to be the patron of the Holy Light this time, the brother of His Highness Catherine, and he must know something. ”

"Let's go, go over and have a look. The knights rode on.

The knights came to Lopez and saw that Lopez was not in the right state, so they said in a louder voice: "This young man!"

Lopez did not react.

"This boy!"

Lopez still ignores.

The knights looked into their eyes, and their faces were full of helplessness. Although the paladin is powerful, even they paladins don't know what to do with this kind of person whose heart is injured and then ignores all external interference, they all learn how to use holy light to fight the enemy in the paladin academy, and the guest has never learned how to treat mental illness. Besides, there doesn't seem to be a mental study in this world, and there is no need for psychological research.

And just when the knights were still worried, a sharp-eyed suddenly noticed Alatina, who was standing silently in the corner. I don't know what's going on, but at this time, Alatina was close to the corner, not wanting these paladins to notice her existence at all.

Unfortunately, though, her hidden skills still don't seem to be as good as the paladins' eyes for beauty. In other words, beautiful people, everywhere, are eye-catching.

"You... Look over there. With the movement of his fingers, the knights' eyes also turned. I saw a beautiful girl leaning against the corner, trying to cover her face with her fingers, and let out a muffled cry as their eyes turned. "Quick, as a paladin, go and meet Her Highness as fast as you can!" the captain gave his command.

The knights quickly turned and dismounted, lined up in front of Alatina, kneeling on one knee and holding their swords against the underside. This is the most standard of chivalry, symbolizing allegiance to someone.

However, although such a ceremony was shocking, the people around them obviously did not feel such a feeling, and in their opinion, a big man like a saint may not be seen once in his life. If they hadn't seen it this time, wouldn't it have left a lifetime of regret? So they swarmed up and gathered around Alatina and the knights, forming a circle. Their bustling appearance made Alatina even ashamed to the point of fear.

"Ah....... How... Why are there so many people!" The cheerful Alatina had already curled up in a corner under the watchful eyes of passers-by.

When the paladin at the head saw such a scene, he suddenly showed a different anger on his handsome face. He drew his saber and pointed it to the sky, the jewels set in the saber glowing golden in the sunlight. Without saying a word, the knights quickly began to maintain order and drive away the crowd.

After the situation improved slightly, the knight captain got off his horse, knelt down on one knee in front of Alatina, and said, "Your Highness Alatina, Knight Antonis is not well protected, please punish him!"

Alatina's face showed a shy look, and she blushed and said, "No... No need. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Antonis stood up.

Why did such a holy woman as Alatina appear here, you know, the holy woman is different from the Holy Light Patron, although the Holy Light Patron is destined to become a great person, but the Holy Maiden is different, the Holy Maiden is cultivated from a young age as the existence of the heir of the church. Of course, most of the time it is the Holy Son, but this time I don't know why, the talent of the male compatriots does not seem to be very strong, so theoretically, the Holy Daughter of Alatina is a more important role than Catherine.

As early as the morning, after the examination, Catherine was taken to the Papal Palace, as a holy woman, Alatina always inevitably met with Catherine, and then, not only the same age but also the personality of the two people quickly warmed up, became close girlfriends. Don't ask why the relationship is progressing so fast, girls are like this, and if they have a good personality, they generally progress quickly. Unlike boys, if a boy wants to build a strong relationship of trust, he always has to go through some things and live to become brothers by accumulating time. Later, during a conversation with Catherine, Alatina learns that the outside world is very exciting, so she sneaks out while the guards are not looking. That's probably the plot.

"By the way, Her Highness the Holy Maiden of Aratina. When we've taken care of things, allow me to take you back to the Papal Palace. Antonis said softly with his right hand on his chest.

As a result, Alatina didn't do anything, and as soon as she heard such news, Alatina's face suddenly became bitter.

"Can we not talk about it?" begged Alatina.

"Your Highness, at the request of His Holiness the Pope, if any paladin sees you, he must bring you back as soon as possible, and it is our responsibility. Antonis spoke in a calm tone, not threatening at all. But maybe it's the Pope's prestige, and this trick has a great effect on Alatina.

Alatina hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Lopez over there, and finally nodded reluctantly. But his face was still full of regret.

Seeing Alatina's movements, the corners of Captain Antonis' mouth lifted and asked, "Your Highness Alatina, what do you think of the current situation?" Can you help us solve the problem now?"

"What's the problem?" asked Alatina, tilting her head.

Antonis' right hand pointed at Lopez, who was still on his knees.

Alatina thought for a moment and said, "Hmm? If it's him, maybe I can really try it!"

"Your Highness, please.." Antonis bowed and asked Alatina to come out.

I saw Alatina slowly walk behind Lopez and first gently tap Lopez's back, but unfortunately Lopez didn't react to this. Alatina tried to speak in his ear as well, but was ignored as well. A distressed Alatina sat on the ground and began to meditate, and no one around her disturbed her. Suddenly, Alatina had a flash of inspiration, stood up frivolously, and whispered in Lopez's ear, "Do you know where Catherine is?"

This trick can almost be said to work for a heavy sister control.

"Catherine!" Lopez gradually reacted, and his eyes gradually returned to clarity.

"Young man, if your eyes are dim, your soul will be dim too. ”

"But... But... I didn't protect Catherine and my family—" Lopez said, his fist smashing blood into the floor. "It's all my fault, it's all my fault! It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my weakness! If it's not too weak, if I'm strong.... How could such a thing happen!" The volume grew smaller and quieter as Lopez lowered his head.

A voice came, it was Antonis's voice: "Young man, why are you lowering your head?"

"Because I'm too weak to look at you. Lopez was a little reluctant to say it.

"Dog, is this kind of thing weak, absolute? can this kind of thing be a reason for you to escape?" Antonis turned up his voice, and his tone was a little more serious.

"I didn't run away!" Lopez tried to defend himself.

"Haven't you run away yet? haven't you blamed everything on the weak?" said Antonis.

"This.... This...."Lopez couldn't say anything, he just did, he did.

"You remember to me that weakness is not the original sin. As a weak person, but you have someone you want to protect, you don't have the ability. So, you don't deserve it! But! Every weak person is becoming strong through his own efforts, guarding the people and things he wants to protect! We don't run away, we don't give our faults to the weak, and then pretend that we are powerless to do nothing! We, paladins, will only keep hatred in our hearts, hold the bonds firmly, and then go to fight! Go to fight! Go to fight! Until our blood is drained. This... For the glory of the knights. Antonis was moved and said such a sentence with emotion, and the people around him were also infected by him, and their blood boiled!

"Glory be with me!" the surrounding paladins raised their swords and shouted at the sky!

"But... I don't have the gift of Light... I also broke the crystal ball of the test..."Lopez said this, his eyes full of loneliness and unwillingness.

Antonis listened to Lopez's words, his face did not change in the slightest, and he said firmly: "We paladins don't care if you have the talent of holy light or not. As long as you have a strong belief and a strong heart, we will welcome you. ”

"But?..." Lopez wanted to speak.

"No, you'll report to the Paladin Academy tomorrow!" Antonis' tone was unmistakable. "Let's go, Your Highness Alatina. Then Alatina got on Antonis' horse and left with the mighty paladins. The speed is very fast without any stops, as Antonis said, non-stop, non-stop ....

"Thank you... Help me so much. ”
