Chapter 37: Exorcism

The silver candles flickered in the church chapel, and the icons under the dome were sad and solemn, as if they were silently watching the unfortunate girl.

Seeing the curse on Elsa, the Bishop's eyes widened and he exclaimed.

"This! O Lord God...... I swear, I've never seen anything so evil, it's so ugly," Bellman couldn't keep his mouth shut, and then looked back at the anxious Vincent, "Why don't you even know what this is?" ”

Hey! What does it mean that even we don't know?

In normal times, even if the relationship is usually good, the bishop's annoying words will definitely make Vincent uncomfortable, which is simply a stereotype of the demons.

The demon race looks down on life and death, and if you don't accept it, you can do it, killing people and setting fires is simple and efficient, and the style of acting is much more subtle than this kind of sneaky means.

Besides, the church studies the skills of the demons every day, and I don't know how many priests and paladins have been fed for the demon defense subjects, can they not know what the demons are capable of?

However, today he came to ask for help, so he didn't care about pursuing so much.

Do you want to stay out of the matter as usual, standing on the moral high ground and making irresponsible remarks?

Wait and see, no one wants to be alone this time!

Vincent sneered inwardly.

"Our magic doesn't work against it, it's not the power of the gods of chaos and darkness," Vincent said bitterly, "I suspect that this is the one in the realm who worships the gods of liberty, deliberately trying to poison the entire realm." ”

Seeing that the bishop did not immediately express his position, Vincent's face immediately sank.

This old guy who doesn't suffer losses, is he thinking about making a deal again?

So, instead of pleading, Vincent raised his eyebrows, and informed the bishop in a slightly threatening tone with a cold face.

"This matter is too dangerous, and if you have nothing to do, then I will go to the main church of the church to find His Majesty the Pope! As a lord, it is my remiss to let such terror and sin spread in my territory! ”

Even a fool sitting in the position of bishop could hear Vincent's determination to make a big deal out of it.

The Coastal Territory is overflowing with cults, and even the Demon Lord can't bear it, so what is the local church doing?

If this curse of unknown origin spreads, and the local church cannot come up with a solution, its prestige will be greatly damaged.

When the news spread, it was difficult for the bishop to sit down.

What's more, this news is still provided by the demons, and when the time comes, not only will he be severely held accountable, but Bellman will be ridiculed by everyone.

"Look, the angels are so lazy that they have to rely on the devil to worry about the suffering of the people!"

Bellman, who has always been striving for the twelve cardinals of the Church, wants to climb up in his heart, but he doesn't want a chaotic young lord to mess with his future.

What worries him is that these demons are just some unreasonable impulsive guys.

Although it sounds extremely nonsense for the demon to go to the church headquarters to complain about this kind of thing, who knows if he will actually do it?

After all, since the signing of the "Peace Treaty of Wind Castle" thirty years ago, the Church of Light and Order has been a mediator between the races and the demons, claiming to support all the actions of the demons to maintain peace.

To this end, the Demon King Salintas allowed the church to preach freely and protected the original rights and interests of the church.

A lord, even if it is a demon prince, wants to save people, and the church cannot and should not refuse.

When the time comes, the demons will be famous, the bishop will be notorious, and the future will not be easy.

"I call on the pastors at once to come and cast out evil with the power of light and holiness." The bishop did not hesitate this time, and immediately decided, "This matter must be investigated!" ”

Count you as acquaintances!

Vincent breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if the bishop didn't help, he still hid a hole card.

As the lord of a special territory, Vincent received special permission from the Demon King's father.

If necessary, the lords of the realm can open the portal to the main church and go directly to the Pope and the Council of Cardinals to discuss the stakes.

By that time, it would be time for Bellman to go home early to write his confessions.

Soon, the best pastors in the church were hurrying in from their bedrooms and prayer rooms, their divine magic being truly skilled in blessings and exorcisms.

The priests took turns to recite dozens of incantations, and the light and hadith came and went, and the whole church was made as beautiful as a festival.

The operation was as fierce as a tiger, and the curse on Elsa's body showed no signs of subsiding.

Instead of curing the curse, the demon lord Vincent, who was watching from the sidelines, was about to collapse by their blessing technique.

"Enough!" A dizzy Vincent shouted, "Stop it!" ”

"My lord, we didn't eliminate the curse, but we at least stopped it from getting worse." One pastor argued, somewhat unconvinced, "Maybe give us some time, and it will have a better effect." ”

"Humph! When the victim is not cured, I will hang up first! Vincent said angrily, "Sages, don't you think there is something wrong with your methods?" ”

"This is a sacred cause, what do you demons know?"

"It's true that I don't know how to bless magic, but I know that your esteemed bishop is in a bad mood."

As he spoke, Vincent glanced meaningfully at Bishop Bellman, who was beside him without saying a word, as if he was bowing his head and chanting.

Only then did the priests notice that the bishop's face was sinking like water, and he did not look at it at all pleased by the light shining on him.

"Your lord is right." The bishop slowly raised his head, his expression extremely bitter, "If you continue to rule like this, the mana of the magic stone and the holy weapon will be exhausted." ”

The priests looked at each other, only to realize that they had just operated as fiercely as a tiger, and had used up a lot of precious materials.

It took a lot of effort on the part of the Bishop, and he finally got it from the Council of Cardinals, and the next allocation will not be until next year.

"Lord Bishop, it seems that the regular blessings are not working." Vincent wasted no time in saying to the bishop, "Is it possible to think that this curse was tailor-made for the magic of the apostles?" ”

"Huh? How crazy! This is a blatant provocation to the whole Divine Faith! ”

Bishop Bellman, who was bleeding in his heart because of the loss of a large amount of supplies, immediately became angry when he heard the lord's words that seemed reasonable, but in fact had ulterior motives.

This is just a little girl, if the curse in the territory is flooded in the future, won't your own temple become a morgue in seconds?

The sacred cemetery, where nobles usually spend dozens of gold coins to be buried, is not immediately turned into a mass grave for throwing corpses for free?

At that time, the road to power and wealth will be completely over......

The bishop, who is usually merciful, is already eager to curse and judge those who invent and spread this evil magic.

"What should I do?" The bishop said to himself, "Do you want to invite the adults of the Mage's Guild to come and see ......?"

A group of professionals who eat on blessings can't do it, so what's the mess with those guys with five fireballs in their heads?

Vincent complained in his heart, and then approached the sweaty Bishop, who was sweating on his forehead, and whispered softly.

"Now, I think I have to trouble you a little, and ask the Holy Maiden of the convent to help save this poor child......"

From Vincent's sincere face, Bishop Bellman saw something else.

It's a little ...... Expect?

It turns out that meeting the saint is his real purpose?
