Ella met Raphael in a hotel temporarily vacated by the mayor of Rook Town for the Priests of Light to be summoned.

Seeing the girl who had not been seen for almost a few months standing in front of her unharmed, with the trademark silly smile still on her pretty little face, Ella's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah~Ella, you're here~"

"Silly girl, it's always not worry-free...... Are you alright?"

Ella and Raphael's fate has a long history, as early as more than ten years ago, Ella had not been promoted to the seventh star, and was only one of the top high-level light priests among the saints, once she was assigned by the Pope to deal with a curse incident in a small town in the north of the Holy City, and when she was about to return to the Holy City after the event, Ella picked up this little baby girl who should have been abandoned at birth at the gate of the branch church in the town.

Since then, she has brought Raphael back to the Holy City, adopted her and raised her as her own child, and even Raphael's name was given to her by Ella. Although little Raphael's outstanding talent in light magic was later discovered, and Ella herself did not have so much energy to take care of Raphael because she needed a lot of time to prepare for the cultivation because she was about to break through the law barrier, so she had to be sent to the largest and best monastery in the Holy City alone to receive training, but the bond between the two people was not broken. To this day, even though Ella has become an archbishop, Raphael still calls her the affectionate name she used every time she saw her.

"Hehehe, I'm fine~ Thanks to Cheruth and Grey Wind...... It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to thank you in the end. ”

Raphael said this, his face slightly disappointed.

As one of the four unconscious people who were rescued by Cheruth herself in the second collapse instead of Nien using mysterious powers to "move" from the ruins. Raphael's memories were not touched by Nien. But she also doesn't remember anything at all.

Her own memories only ended when Cheruth flew down the cliff for the second time. After that, the sacrificial girl who was knocked unconscious by Cheruth with an ultrasonic impact was not clear, and when she woke up, she was already on the sand boat where Shuai Ke and the others returned to Ruke Town. And Shuaike, whose memory was implanted to interrupt the false memory, told her as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and in the second great collapse, the girl named Cheruth desperately sent her and the old thief to the Templars to escape as soon as possible, while Cheruth herself and her two companions did not follow them after that, but with the strength of the wolf girl, she should have escaped.

Of course, this statement is Nien's handiwork, but even Shuai himself has no doubt about this "fact", let alone Raphael. So the image of the wolf girl desperately sacrificing herself for others suddenly filled the heart of the natural sacrificial girl.

Ella, who heard Raphael speak, was a little curious about the two names "Cheruth and Grey Wind Sauce" in the girl's mouth, but before she could ask for more information, Shuaike, who learned of Ella's arrival, broke out of the hotel door in a bit of a rage.

"May the Light bless you, Captain of the Fourth Squadron of the Silver Legion of the Knights Templar, and thank you very much, Archbishop Ella, for coming. ”

Rafael is not too inhibited because of his affinity with Ella, but Shuai Ke has no reason to do so. The archbishop is the second largest figure in the Cult of Solan after the Pope, and on a par with the head of the Knights Templar, Shuai Ke hurriedly walked in front of Ella, put his right hand on his chest and bowed his head, and performed a standard knightly salute.

"Hello. Squadron Leader Shuaike, thank you for your hard work this time. ”

Ella nodded to Shuaike. The original choice of this upright squadron leader as Raphael's escort for the trial was still her suggestion, and Ella still had a good impression of this powerful and devout muscular squadron leader who seemed reckless but was actually very measured.

However, Shuaike's next words were somewhat unexpected to her.

"Archbishop Ella, albeit with some rudeness...... If it is convenient for you to treat the wounded knights?"

Shuai Ke is actually quite famous within the Solan Cult.

Peak Dou Qi Master, one of the five squadron leaders of the most elite Silver Legion in the Knights of the Templars, reveals a strong philosophy ♂ from appearance to combat style...... Ahem, the melee specialized team with a strong courageous spirit, these are the first impressions that everyone can think of when they talk about Shuai Ke and his squadron within the Solan Cult.

In fact, even the chief commander of the Knights Templar had to admit that in the Silver Legion and even the entire Knights Templar, the Shuai Ke squadron may not be the team with the first strength or devotion to faith, but it is definitely the most tenacious knight squadron that everyone is most reluctant to encounter in the actual battle. Even some people feel that if Shuai Ke and his men remove the characteristics of faith, their style is completely comparable to that of the most elite royal guards in those major countries, or the Biansai Iron Army.

However, it was such a tough squadron of muscular knights, and when Ella arrived at the temporary residence of the Templar Knights on the edge of Rook Town, what she heard from Shuai Ke and what she actually saw in front of her almost subverted her impression of the energetic ♂ young men ♂ of Shuai Ke's squadron.

The remains of the dead, the seriously wounded who are unconscious...... and a few lightly wounded people who are being suppressed by their companions and are in a state of madness for some reason.

Shuaike's squadron has a total of 300 people, and before Shuai Ke let his deputy stay in Rook Town with a hundred people to help defend the surrounding area against the sand bandits and organize the light sacrifice to be summoned to study the way to break the curse, while he led another team of 200 people into the desert to find the source of the curse...... And now, only a few dozen of the two hundred people who were taken out by Shuai Ke were still able to stand in front of him, and the rest were dead or wounded, all lying on the wounded seats at the station in Rook Town.

“...... Anyway, after that we managed to ...... everyone in the ruins Regardless of life and death...... It's all found, but the depraved aura of the monster in the ruins is too powerful, despite the boys' beliefs. But there are still some people who have been so badly eroded that they are out of control......"

Standing at the entrance of a tent in the middle of the station, where a dozen wounded people were concentrated. The sad Shuai Ke explained to Ella, who didn't look very good. While watching with some embarrassment, several knights under his command were trying to press a lightly wounded person who had suddenly gone crazy back to the hospital bed, and a military priest next to him was calming the spirit of the lightly wounded with tranquilizers.

Although Shuaike's behavior of asking Ella to help his subordinates as soon as they met was a little offensive, Ella, who knew Shuaike's upright character, did not blame him too much, but Shuaike's anxiety that did not seem to be fake attracted the attention of the archbishop.

Although being able to become an archbishop is mostly due to Ella's promotion to become a law powerhouse, Ella herself is not a cultivation idiot who does not distinguish between public and private, and it is a private matter to confirm Raphael's safety, and then although she still wants to talk to Raphael about what happened to the little girl, Ella still held back her mood and resolutely followed Shuai Ke to the Templar Knights' residence. By the way, on the way, I listened to Shuai Ke tell about the events he led the team and the intelligence information he had collected along the way.

The false memories implanted in the spirits of Shuai Ke and other Templars are completely consistent in the final unwarranted decisive battle, but before that, he led a team to search for the lost people all over the ruins, but it was actually completely done by Nien, and the mysterious silver-haired girl wanted to clear out all the living and just dead creations in the ruins but the soul traces had not completely dissipated in order to facilitate the repair of the law, so she found out those lost Templar Knights regardless of life and death and gathered them together, and sent them to the surface after letting them finish their ultimate, and then made up such a paragraph in Shuai Ke's memory。

Fortunately, Ella didn't delve into how Shuai Ke managed to find all the lost people in the intricate and collapsed dungeon, and seeing the wounded and sick in front of him, and even the pious Templar Knights going crazy because of this curse, Ella only felt a slight chill.

Bright people who are steadfast in their faith. They often have more powerful mental resistance to all kinds of curses than ordinary people. The Silver Legion is the most elite unit of the Knights Templar, and the Knights who can be selected for it have a very high standard of strength and faith. And even with such a level of faith, it is impossible to resist the spiritual erosion that can distort people's cognition and make them full of destructive desires, and the terrible extent of this curse can be seen.

"Alright, let me do it. ”

The knights who were busy suppressing the wounded man who had just been distracted by the erosion of the curse only felt that an extremely gentle white light suddenly shrouded in front of them, and then the colleague who was struggling frantically on the bed suddenly slowed down his movements like a crying bear child who had suddenly been gently caressed by his mother, and then lay on the bed as if he had fallen asleep.

The seven-star sage of the light department, his attainments in purification magic are naturally incomparable to Raphael, a five-star elite warlock. Raphael could only force out the depraved aura in the body of the person who had just been infected, and with Ella, it only took a short time, and Raphael, Shuai Ke and the others on the side saw that under the light of the Great Purification Technique, wisps of dark gray substance began to emerge from the Templar's body.

Compared with Raphael, whose face was full of reverence and longing, and Shuaike, who couldn't help crying with joy because the robe was finally rescued, Archbishop Ella had a serious expression, and just like Raphael when he was treating Jixiangtian, he withdrew his hand at the first time and released a light sealing technique again, continuously gathering these dark gray smoke-like substances together and sealing them.

The purification lasted for a few minutes, and finally the last wisp of gray smoke also floated out of the Templar's body under the effect of the Great Purification Technique, and was sealed in the ball of light the size of a leather ball in Ella's hand, Ella casually ended the release of the Great Purification Technique, and looked at the dark gray substance sealed in her hand with a more serious expression than when she came.

"Lord Ella (Archbishop), you have worked hard. ”

The life span of a law powerhouse is very long, and Ella is promoted relatively quickly due to her strength, so even though she is in her eighties, she still looks like a middle-aged woman in her forties. Hearing Raphael and Shuaike's voices, Ella's eyes moved away from the sealing light ball in her hand, and her serious expression eased slightly when she saw Raphael, and then became serious again.

“...... This kind of thing is not a curse, and it is much more dangerous than I expected, I will purify and remove all the seriously injured as soon as possible, Raphael, you follow me to help seal it, and you can't let these things leak out of other places casually. ”

"Okay. ”

"By the way, Shuaike, you said that there was a group of thieves like you who had been corrupted by this kind of spirit with you?"

"Yes, they seem to be the famous old thieves...... And they seem to know the origin of the spiritual erosion this time. ”

"Good," Ella nodded, "Bring me there later, I need to know more." (To be continued.) )
