The appearance of the second angel made almost everyone here look a little dull, especially the priests in indigo robes, all of whom showed disbelief in their eyes.

They couldn't believe that one person could actually make two angels come at the same time, after all, [Angel Descending] is a semi-public high-level divine art in the secret canon of the Holy See, and the height is obviously no less than the forbidden spell of the black magician, which can be imagined to be precious, and generally only powerful priests can cast it, but I have never seen any priest who can summon two angels.

As an old man of the Holy See, and as a local bishop who has been in charge of the Holy Fortress of Arabel for more than 20 years, Zoe Lear also knows a little about some of the secret things of the Holy See.

He knew that the power of angels came from stigmata, and stigmata was a direct manifestation of whether one's faith was firm or not, and how much holy power he mastered, and that each stigmata formed could [give birth] to an angel, which was one of the secrets of the Holy See.

Angels are divided into upper, middle and lower three levels, the difference in class is directly reflected in the strength of the angelic power, the newborn angel is generally the lower rank, and the ability represented by different positions is also very different, and even if it is the same class, the same kind of angels, also have different titles, just like the angel called by Zoe Lear, its position is [Angel of Energy], but the title is [Chant].

The Angel of Energy represents the authority of God in doctrine, and its abilities are mostly psychic damage to dark creatures, which are almost impossible to resist with magic, and the Chanter as the name is generally a direct manifestation of the angel's ability.

Just like the stigma transmitted by Father Andrew to Soth, its angel is a force angel, and the angels of this category are generally angels who directly attack with martial arts, which represent [God's courage], and the [God Might] as a title is the real ability of this power angel, indicating that the angel has a fighting ability beyond the general force angel.

Angel advent was first born in the early days of the empire of the great leader King Sasson, and was the only force that the white magicians could compete with the powerful forbidden spells of the black magicians at that time.

Subsequently, the white magician, who had made a huge breakthrough in the spiritual realm, had the whimsical idea to try to split his soul in half and merge with the angels, which was quite dangerous, but after sacrificing many white magicians, the Holy See confirmed the viability of this method.

But the key problem is not only this one, but more importantly, the power of angels, after all, white magic is different from black magic, and the belief in its constituent holy power needs to be accumulated bit by bit, if there is no holy power, even if there is more magic power, it will not be able to exert it, but the problem is that only priests who have been teaching for more than thirty years have a certain amount of power.

This brings us to the second secret of the Holy See, the inheritance of stigmata.

The power composition of the holy light is very special, because it is a combination of light elements and beliefs, which means that it is different from other elements in general, if the black magician dies, its magic power and the elements attached to it will disappear with the disappearance of the soul, then after the death of a powerful white magician, its holy power will generally not disappear, after all, it is the holy power that fuses half of the soul of the magician, which can be said to be a new individual, which is the so-called [imitation of the soul] theory of the Holy See.

And this part of the holy power, after the death of the white magician, will return to a very special place in the Holy See, that is, the ancient ruins [Sky City], as a reserve of holy power, as a reserve, instilled in young people with outstanding talents, through a ritual to continue to accumulate this part of the holy power, continue to make it strong.

Every once in a while, the Holy See will select some juniors who are about twenty years old and have outstanding talents, and transmit the preserved stigma to them as a new force of the Holy See, but the problem is that the body capacity of ordinary young people cannot accommodate the power passed down by these white magicians who have passed on for several generations, or even more than ten generations, and once the holy power exceeds the range that they can bear, it will have an impact on the body itself, serious and even life-threatening.

If it's a lower-level stigma, that's fine, but if it's a mid-level or above stigma, ordinary people can't afford it, which also causes the Holy See to fall into a very embarrassing situation, so the Holy See is desperately looking for a gifted child, and constantly training and teaching him so that he can master the power of stigma.

Generally speaking, the power contained in a mid-level stigma is equivalent to the strength of a great magician, and it is indeed a bit difficult for a young man around twenty years old to withstand this power, so those who can perform magic angels are generally priests above the local bishop level, and the age is roughly over forty years old.

And an example like Soth's can hold three stigmatas, which has never been seen in hundreds of years, after all, humans are human after all.

As far as Soth is concerned, he is no longer a pure human being, because of Sloth, his spiritual power and ** quality are far superior to that of humans, not to mention that with the awakening of Sloth, his body has gradually become demonic, so he can accommodate the power of three stigmatas.

Of course, most of the time the holy power contained in these three stigmata is only used to resist the dark power of Sloth, usually Soth generally only uses no more than one stigmata of holy power to ensure the balance of power in the body, and once the holy power is used in excess, or is restricted, the dark power of Sloth will backlash, the speed of demonization of the body will also be accelerated, and the unique black evil beast tattoo of the apostle will appear on the surface of the skin.

Therefore, Soth is the only person in the Holy See who can accommodate more than one stigma, and there is absolutely no one!

[First person in the Holy See]...... That rumor turned out to be true?!

It is rumored that there is a very terrible dark power in this little ghost's body, and in order to suppress the dark power in his body, he actually needs the holy power of three stigmatas, St. Charles George and Andrew Ashwalln, the holy power contained in these two old men of the Holy See, which is quite terrifying, not to mention the stigmata power of His Majesty the Pope...... Looking at the second angel who appeared, Zoe Lear's eyes were a little complicated, and he finally understood why even Cardinal Neomi Metmente did not dare to provoke the little imp in front of him too much, and reminded himself that if this little imp wanted to leave, he would turn a blind eye and let go...... The power of the three stigmatas...... Zoe Lear looked at the newly appeared wise angel with some jealousy, then glanced at Soth, and said in a deep voice with a little sourness, "The strength of the holy power does not mean anything, you have only been in contact with the white magic of the Holy See for three years, how can you be more than me immersed in white magic for decades?

With his shout, the angel and singer behind him who was slightly more feminine slowly closed his eyes, his white wings were slightly folded, he closed his eyes gently, and stroked the harp in his arms with his right hand, playing a pleasant and beautiful music.

Immediately, her lips opened slightly, and an indescribable voice suddenly sounded in the air, which was undoubtedly a refreshing divine comedy for those priests in indigo robes, but for Soth, it was an extremely uncomfortable harsh singing.

"Damn!" Under this song, Soth only felt a trance in his head, and he couldn't concentrate at all, let alone cast magic, even the power angel and [God Might: Diphnidi] at the same level could not resist this movement, you can imagine how powerful the special power of that energy angel is.

However, it seemed that this song did not have much effect on the new wise angel, only to see him slowly spread his hands, the floating wisdom book in the air turned the pages, a few seconds later, the wisdom book suddenly stopped turning the page, in the doubtful and incredulous eyes of Zoe Lear, the wisdom angel [Knower: Plumfitt] closed lips faintly spat out two words.

"No silence!"

In an instant, the Divine Comedy played by Eya stopped...... No, it should have been the voice that had disappeared, because the singer Oya was still playing the Divine Comedy at the moment, but strangely, it didn't make any sound, and even the singing voice with her disappeared.

"How...... What's going on?" Zoe Lear was momentarily puzzled.

In his stunned eyes, the book of wisdom in Plumfit's hand turned a few more pages, and then spat out two words again.

"Dispel!"

There was only a click, and the silver-colored shackles that bound Soth and the Angel of Power Definiti broke inch by inch.

Before the priests could react, the unrestrained Angel of Force, Diphinidi, swung his spear and sword, and most of the glorious local church collapsed.

Looking at her ruined church building, Zoe Lear was so angry and angry that she didn't care to think about the special abilities of the wise angel Plunfit, and hurriedly shouted, "What are you doing?

With Zoe Lear's shout, the indigo-robed priests formed a formation again and began to chant incantations, although they were a little concerned about the identity of Soth, but after all, this was Arabel, Zoe Lear was their bishop, their boss, what he said was an order, and the priests did not dare to disobey.

In a matter of seconds, dozens of lightning-like rays of light shot down on Thoss and the Angel of Force, the Angel of Force, who was responsible for destroying the local church.

But at this moment, Zoe Lear clearly saw that the god of wisdom in the hands of the wise angel turned a few pages again, and immediately, a bland word burst out of his mouth.

"The Wall of Light!"

With a bang, a barrier like a transparent crystal appeared in front of Soth and the two angels, rebounding the attacks of those indigo-robed priests, and only to hear a loud rumbling sound, the crumbling local church became even more miserable.

"What are you doing!" Zoe Lear stomped his feet angrily, but as he looked at the wise angel, he gradually understood the special power of this superior angel.

The Angel of Wisdom, the angel who represents [the wisdom of God], is not as good at fighting as the Angel of Power, but he can perform all kinds of white magic, and as long as it is a magic written in the Book of Wisdom, he does not need to recite a spell at all, but can perform it by saying the name of the magic.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the stigmata power of the legendary cardinal, St. Charles George...... Wait, the angel of the Lord, whose title I remember is...... Know-it-all!

Yes, it is a know-it-all, which means a wise man who knows all white magic, and that wisdom book records all the white magic that the Holy See has ever had, and most of it also includes the forbidden spell that the Lord became famous, and it is also the only forbidden spell in the White Magic of the Holy See [Heaven's Gate]...... Oops, worthy of an upper-level angel, I didn't expect the gap to be so big, and Eyya's ability couldn't play any role at all...... Perhaps confirming Zoe Lear's inner thoughts, the book of wisdom in the hand of the wise angel Plunfit turned a few more pages, and then spat out two words again.

"Disarm!"

Hearing the sound of a clanging bell, the eyes of the indigo robed priests invariably showed a confused look, and then they threw away the short staff in their hands one by one, and when they came back to their senses and wanted to pick up the short staff again, Plunfit's mouth slowly spat out a sentence.

"Imprisoned Cross: Light Prison!"

As soon as the words fell, one after another cross blades suddenly fell in mid-air, surrounding those indigo priests, and then I saw a flash of lightning on those cross blades, and a lightning bolt of holy power connected all the cross blades, trapping those priests in it like a prison.

"How...... What's going on?" said a priest with a panicked expression as he looked at the lightning-like energy flowing around him.

Feeling the holy power contained in those lightning-like energies, one of the deacons hurriedly shouted, "Don't move! Don't move, everyone, if you don't move, you'll be fine!"

His guess proved to be correct, and the wise angel Plunfit didn't pay attention to those priests anymore, but focused on the power angel Eya on the other side, first using a [Soul Chain] to imprison the opponent's actions, and then using [Ascension] and [Templar Power] to enhance the power of the power angel Diphnidi.

Listening to the sound of the bear, a layer of blazing white holy flame ignited on the long sword and spear embodied by Diphiniti, and on the contrary, the Angel of Energy Eya was not only silenced and unable to chant the body that was enough to make people lose their souls, but even her movements were restricted at this moment, and she was beaten to the ground by Diphiniti in two strokes, and it is no wonder that the Angel of Energy is not as good at hand-to-hand combat as the Angel of Power.

But...... Is this the power of the higher angels?

Zoe Lear's mouth was a little bitter, the reason why he dared to argue with Soth was nothing more than the special ability of the confident Angel Eya, and the facts also proved that neither Soth nor the Angel of Power Diphnidi could not withstand that kind of mental blow, and once fell behind, but the appearance of this wise angel turned the wind back in more than ten seconds...... Know-it-all: Plunfit, worthy of St. Charles George's stigmata powers!

In fact, not only Zoe Lear, but even Soth himself was a little surprised by the power of Prumfit the Knower, although he had tried to summon before, but after all, it was only training in the Holy See, and of course it was not comparable to actual combat.

Looking at the wise angel with his lips tightly closed, the familiarity of the name St. Charles George flashed in his mind again, Soth shook his head slightly, leaving those inexplicable familiarities behind, and once again sat in the intact chair in a seemingly lazy posture, looked at Zoe Lear and said lightly, "It's time for the farce to end, right?

Zoe Lear sighed unwillingly at the two angels who were approaching, then looked at Soth and sneered, "Don't be complacent, little ghost! Your actions have already constituted a crime!--destroying the local church is also disrespectful to God! This kind of behavior can definitely be regarded as rebellion!"

"So what?" said with a playful smile, Soth's face suddenly sank, and he said lightly, "Open the gates of the fortress!—I said at the beginning, this is not an order, let alone a request, you can take it as a threat!"

"Are you threatening a local archbishop? Even if you were a cardinal, you have no right to inquire about the internal affairs of the local Church, even if you go to the Inquisition...... Not to mention that you are no longer a cardinal, and you are not qualified to command me!"

"Really?" With a sneer, Soth stood up and walked towards Zoe Lear.

"You...... What do you want to do?" Zoe Lear's face couldn't help but show a little panic, and he subconsciously took two steps back, and said calmly, "Not only do I want to destroy the local church, but also plan to harm the local bishop? I advise you to stop, if you dare to do this, you will definitely not end well......

"Don't worry, I won't kill you," with a mocking smile, Soth slowly walked up to Zoe Lear and said with a sneer, "But you can still learn a lesson...... Well, I should say I'm quite willing!--As for the Inquisition, maybe I'm not the only one who will be there to stand trial, right?Bishop Zoe Lear? I'm sure the new cardinal is quite unhappy with you at the moment, oh, it shouldn't be difficult for a cardinal to impeach a local bishop with conclusive evidence, right?" said Soth, holding out his right hand and gesturing it on Zoe Lear's neck.

Although he knew that the other party would not dare to kill him, Zoe Lear still felt a cold feeling in his neck, he slammed his hand and knocked off the other party's arm, stared at the other party, gasped and said, "You are threatening ......"

"Are you stupid? Didn't I say it several times? Do you think it's a request? hey!"

Staring at Soth with a thick anger, Zoe Lear lowered her head and thought for a while, the cunning in her eyes flashed, and said in a deep voice, "Okay! I will order the gate of the fortress to be opened, but whether to collect those imperial refugees needs to be voted on by the people in the city!"

"Huh?"

"Your Excellency doesn't know it, does you? There are more than 20,000 crusaders stationed near Arabel, plus 20,000 inhabitants in the city, and the original food is only enough to sustain the rations of these 40,000 people, if you take in those Imperial refugees...... There is no reason for the Lord's people to starve, but to give to the heathen!—if you can convince the people of the city...... Hmph!" As he spoke, he glanced at Soth and preemptively said, "This is the final bottom line, if Your Excellency does not agree, then you have to ask the Inquisition to decide!"

To Zoe Lear's surprise, Soth agreed almost without a second thought.

Meanwhile, outside Arabell, the new Cardinal Bon Harmsworth was trying to persuade the Crusaders not to drive the Imperial refugees further north.

The cardinal status of Zoe Lear, which had little intimidation power, was very well reflected in these crusader soldiers, who were hesitant after Bon Harmsworth revealed his identity, after all, the cardinal was the higher being of the local bishops.

The cardinals of the central Curia on one side and the local bishops who directly controlled them on the other, the crusaders were very embarrassed.

Just then, the gates of the holy fortress of Arabel opened, and Bishop Zoe Lear announced his counsel with Soth with a dark face.

This surprised and delighted Bon Harmsworth, and even the thousands of Imperial refugees cheered.

"Hey, don't be too happy," said S. Harmsworth, looking at the look of surprise on his face, "Zoe Lear just agreed to open the gates of the fortress, and if you can't convince the people in the city, the Imperial refugees here will have to stay here!"

"W-What a fool!" muttered the new bishop, dissatisfied, and then asked curiously, "Can you tell me how you persuaded him?"

I saw Soth smile coldly, raised his right hand and clenched his fist.

Bon Harmsworth's eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "You...... You're not threatening him, are you? It's crazy, you're going to be tried in the Inquisition for this!"

"When words can't communicate, force is the most direct and best way!" said subconsciously, Soth remembered that this was Argus's original words, his face was suddenly covered with a layer of frost, and he said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and finish your part!"

"Don't worry, don't worry," Father Bon smiled at the coldness on Soth's face, then glanced at the Imperial refugees who showed expectant eyes, and sighed slightly, "No matter who you are, as long as you still keep a good heart, you are the Lord's people, and what is the difference between the Holy See and the Empire? If you do such a thing, that guy will not give up, you have to be careful, you are no longer a cardinal, and you have committed such a [evil deed] with a guilty body, and those cardinals of the Holy See will not be blind......"

"Less!--I don't care about that kind of guy yet!"

Indeed, from a certain point of view, there is only one person in the eyes of Soth at this moment, and that is Argus!

For the next half day, Bon Harmsworth led the thousands of imperial refugees into the Arabell's fortress, while Thus sat on a rock outside the city and closed his eyes until the city's taut face softened a little when he suddenly remembered a burst of applause from inside.

"Hmph, that guy has some skills!" With a faint smile, Soth stood up and looked to the far north.

He thought about the black-armored undead knight that Bella and Aggie spoke of...... And Allen, Scott, and them...... And Dia......
