Chapter 53: Elbow, Follow Me into the House (Ask for Follow-up)
"Anna, stop."
Joshua's words silenced Anna's killing intent for the time being, but in a moment of turning, she returned to her previous appearance.
Although there is occasionally a little awkwardness, Anna is still gentle.
"Anna left the dream you weaved, so can it be considered that she has passed the test?"
Joshua felt the injuries on his body, and he was already healed by this time, not only because of Lilith's superb healing skills, but also because the sword just now avoided Joshua's internal organs and minimized the damage.
From this point of view, the heretic knight did not appear as vicious as his words suggested.
Of course, whether or not there is a way to take care of Father Andrew's face is not something that Joshua can know.
"I'm sorry, I've been watching from the wall."
Lilith said apologetic, but Joshua only patted her hand with a gentle smile.
The heretical knights didn't even care about a bishop who had real power, let alone a saint who didn't have much power.
Lilith couldn't do anything this time, she couldn't bury what she had done before.
["This attack will not kill me, and he has hurt my noble flesh, and the price will be enough for him to savor it tonight. ”】
Price?
Lilith remembered Joshua's sword that pierced Durant earlier, and the blue flame entered the opponent's body along the sword of the arm.
It was a flame that a legendary mage would need to cut off his arm to extinguish, but it was dispelled by the heretic knight.
No, it was not dispersed, but suppressed with a stronger fighting spirit.
This is bound to cause more suffering, and is undoubtedly a thankless task.
"Strength and belief are indeed necessary to become a heretic knight, but without results, everything is empty talk."
Durant was unfazed, but in fact his situation was similar to what Lilith had guessed.
The difficulty of cleansing Cangyan was beyond imagination, even if he recovered from the injuries on his body with his powerful recovery power, the Cangyan still refused to give up and burned his soul.
"Some time ago, the god of fire fell, and the fragments of his godhead fell to all corners of the world, and one fragment fell on the Fei Leng Cui."
The Godhead fell on Fei Lengcui?
When Durant mentioned the Godhead fragment, Joshua subconsciously remembered Juno's one, but now it seems that there is still one in the Emerald Jade.
"Fragments of Godhead? Joshua, hurry up and find it for me, with it I can store more faith. ”
As soon as Juno heard that the Godhead Fragment came to her spirit, for her who could not reserve faith at this time, the Godhead Fragment was a backup energy source.
The greater the energy capacity, the longer she can fight in the later stages, and besides, this is also her old friend's belonging, so it makes sense to keep it for the time being.
If it falls into the hands of cultists, the fun will be great.
"That's true, but I've contacted the Mage's Tower and the Duke's Palace, and they've all claimed that they haven't found it, and things are starting to get complicated."
Bishop Jacob tells you the details of what happened.
When the god of fire fell, his godhead was smashed into pieces by Leon and scattered around the world, and there were two in the direction of the Emerald of Emerald, one of which happened to fall in the Emerald of Fieleng.
It's just that at that time, it was the moment when the cultists were collectively rioting.
Church, Inquisition, Duke's Palace, Wizard's Tower...... All forces are trying to suppress the unrest, so that no one can search for the fragments of Godhead in the first place.
By the time the cultists were almost suppressed, the forces finally had the energy to search, but ......
"Could it be that the cultists have found it?"
"The Inquisition is not a waste, especially that Charlotte, who has quite a career in intelligence gathering."
Durant directly dismissed Lilith's speculation, but to Joshua's surprise, Charlotte's fame actually reached the ears of the Dark Sanctuary.
"Indeed, in the information provided by Charlotte, the cultists did not get the Godhead fragment, and at present, it is likely that the Duke's Mansion and the Mage Tower have hidden it."
Bishop Jacob could only sigh at this time that Charlotte did not go to the Papal Palace, otherwise where would she find the next person with the magic of deceiving the world.
A bishop-level god whose power to deceive the world and steal his name can even conceptually replace another person.
As a member of the Inquisition, Charlotte is also the head of various cult organizations in Fei Lengcui, and it is not a bad idea to send such a person to the top of some cults before the cultists can be completely eradicated.
"You want us to take it over?"
Anna doesn't have a good face for Durant, besides, the Duke's Palace is involved in the newspaper, and Jessica is also studying in the Mage Tower, so it is obviously irrational to be hostile to these two forces at the same time.
"No, all you have to do is to determine the whereabouts of the fragment of Godhead, and take it from the cultists, and if the evidence is presented in the hands of the other two forces, the whereabouts of each fragment of Godhead will be known to the church."
This time, the mission of the Dark Sanctuary is not Joshua and them, and even Durant himself has many questions.
According to the style of the Dark Sanctuary in the past, it would be good to grab it directly, and such things as the fragments of Godhead could not be left outside, but this time the Church and the Dark Sanctuary only need their whereabouts and not let them fall into the hands of cultists.
That's all it takes
"As for the question you mentioned...... You can ask the bishop around you, and it makes sense for a heretic knight to use the power of an evil god without being liquidated. ”
Durant left these words and turned away, but the figure disappeared into the darkness in a moment.
"Young people nowadays are really ...... It's all about throwing these troublesome questions at the elderly. ”
Bishop Jacob's hair couldn't help but fall out a few times, just like the appearance of Joshua as soon as he was injured and Lilith hurried out to rescue, which couldn't help but make people think a little more.
Although the saint doesn't have any real power, he still has to have the respect he deserves, if the other party really wants to know......
"Bishop Jacob doesn't have to be embarrassed, there are some things that I should know, so I don't rush for a while."
Joshua was naturally aware of Bishop Jacob's trouble, and apparently he did not want to embarrass this old man with a good reputation.
"Thank you for your understanding Joshua, the matter about the heretic knights is too much involved, and the only thing I can say to you is one word."
Considering that Joshua was also one of the descendants of Saint Hus, he still came up with some information that could be said.
"Darkness is in the light, not in the light, the twelve swords of the church are held by the twelve saints, and the birth of saints in the dark temple is a proof that it can be trusted, Anna, the path you have chosen is much more difficult than you think."
Bishop Jacob left these words and went back to rest.
Anna's inheritance of the Sword of Branches is equivalent to the inheritance of Father Andrei's status as a saint, and the difficulties involved can be imagined.
"Is Joshua alright?"
After the enemy left, Anna finally had time to check on Joshua's injuries.
"No, it's almost good."
"No, let me see."
Anna obviously looked at the blood stains on Joshua's body, so naturally she wouldn't give up like this, if Joshua usually showed it to the other party.
But now that Lilith is on the side, this pull and pull is really ...... Lilith, you guy cover your eyes well, what are you doing with such a big slit?
["Look? Hehe~ Wait a minute, let you see enough. ”】
Originally, Lilith was very interesting to watch the two of them pull and pull, but then Joshua's voice came, I'm afraid it wasn't for Joshua's interest at this time.
"Ahem~ Anna, you stay here today, and I'll talk to you about the Dark Sanctuary."
Lilith grabbed Anna and was bound to pull the innocent nun out of her clutches.
"The Dark Sanctuary? It wasn't just yesterday ......."
"The matter of the Dark Sanctuary will be clear in one day, go, follow me into the bathhouse."
……
In the alley of the lower city of Philantrite, Durant's figure appeared, and then a pale blue flame ignited from his body.
"What the hell is this ......"
As a heretic knight, Durant thinks that his spirit is not weak, but he also feels extremely painful in the face of the burning of this flame.
Saint Hus really found two good heirs.
"Isn't this a cleansing of sins? I didn't expect to see a lost magic here. ”
A woman's voice came, she was dressed in a green robe, and the gems on her staff reflected the light of the flames, emitting a faint color.
"Who?"
"Can't old acquaintances recognize it? Durant, have you killed the evil demon to this point? ”
The woman lowered her hood to reveal a pair of pointed ears, which, combined with her delicate face, revealed her elf identity.
"Helen? You don't study those moldy parchment rolls in your mage's tower, and you still have the time to visit me? ”
"Are the heretic knights' mouths so hard? If it weren't for this fire, who would want to deal with you, a guy who would go crazy at any moment. ”
Old acquaintances don't mean that the two have a good relationship, the elf named Helen took out a test tube, and as the spell came out of her mouth, the sin cleansing flame seemed to be sensed and left Durant's body and entered the test tube.
"Hehe~ It's not in vain."
Helen plugged on the cork and looked at the blue flame that jumped in the test tube, although she had seen its features in many ancient books, but this was the first time she had seen the real thing.
"What is this?"
Purifying the sin and leaving the body, this made Durant breathe a sigh of relief, he was also walking fast just now, otherwise he would be embarrassed in front of the juniors.
"When did the Heretic Knight become interested in magic, and even left the forbidden land and went on a mission with a wound? Don't Die Knights are so short of manpower? ”
Others don't know the strength of the heretic knight, but as a long-lived elf, he has dealt with him many times.
If it weren't for the fact that he had not healed his old wounds and was merciful to his subordinates, how could a famine knight be so embarrassed.
"Don't ask about the Dark Sanctuary casually, and this flame is used by the descendants of Saint Frithen, I need to know where it came from."
Father Andre does have a special place in the Dark Sanctuary, as Durant's previous hand and current look suggest.
"When it comes to the only saint in the Dark Sanctuary for a hundred years, then I really can't fight haha."
Helen put away the sin purifying Cangyan, and then her expression became serious.
With the death of the saints, there are no new saints left in the Dark Sanctuary, and if this continues, the Church of Light will inevitably become suspicious of the Dark Sanctuary again.
The Dark Sanctuary didn't care about this kind of thing in the first place, but at this point in time...... It's not too good.
"The forbidden magic of judgment, the cruel inheritance of merit and demerits, the miracle of the unrecorded antiquity, which was unusually active and annihilated at the same time, the god of all laws, Ohm Messiah."
Helen succinctly states the origin of the sin, except that there is a light in her eyes when she speaks the name of Om Messiah.
"Helen, do not call mortals gods, the Om Messiah has never become a god, nor has he been recognized by any god."
Although Durant warned Helen of his words, he also understood that words were useless, otherwise this guy would not be ostracized by all the elves and reduced to the point where he couldn't get along in the forest.
"Just this? That kid was clearly hiding. ”
Helen was surprised that Durant stopped like this, you must know that Om Messiah, who was active in the same era as the gods, even if he failed to become a god, there were definitely a lot of secrets in it.
"Everyone has secrets, if you have to check them one by one, even the Dark Sanctuary does not have this ability, as long as you can be loyal to the goddess and kill the evil spirit, then the Dark Sanctuary will recognize the existence of the other party."
Durant doesn't care, or the Dark Sanctuary doesn't care, and the tools that can be used will be used.
Good medicine should be eaten, and poison should be eaten.
This is the style of the Dark Sanctuary.
"Is this a threat to me?"
Helen sensed the meaning of the other man's words.
"They're Dark Sanctuary people for the time being."
Durant admitted in disguise, which made the air between the two gradually freeze.
"Well, I'll use some softer methods to get what I want."
Even if the person in front of her is not in good shape, Helen is not willing to gamble, who knows what a heretic knight who has reached a dead end will do.
"A kid named Jessica was sent into my mage tower by him, and as the dean, it's a very reasonable reason to meet the student's parents, right?"
Helen left this sentence and then dissipated as a butterfly.
A student who had not learned all the basic ciphertexts but was proficient in the initial Ohm ciphertexts, and now there was a magic spell from the Ohm Messiah, the god of all laws.
Things are getting more and more interesting.
"The historical records of the nations are only two thousand years, and what happened two thousand years ago was hidden by the gods, and the source of magic, the Om Messiah, is obviously a breakthrough point."
In the dean's room of the Cangyu Mage Tower, Helen placed the test tube containing the sin purifying Cangyan on the experimental table.
"The portion is too small to withstand a few experiments, so I have to ask him to provide me with more."
Helen licked her lips like a little girl facing a delicious cake, wanting to eat it and taste its sweetness, but she hesitated for fear that she would not be able to eat it again in a short time.
