"One more thing, Essex...... I stumbled upon a secret of the Temple of Light, which is why I can be sure that they chose to abandon me. ”

Isidor was tired and did not notice anything unusual about Essex, and continued in a low voice, "The City of Thunder has made a pact with the bishops, and in order to resurrect a special being, they need to use races that are friendly to the elements as sacrifices. The Temple of Light chose me as a victim of the trade because they could obtain a fragment of the Broken Godhead. ”

Essex angrily thrust the tip of his sword into the soil, his suppressed voice filled with rage, "Abandon a Son who firmly believes in the Light just because of a shattered fragment of Godhead? Is this the light and justice they preach? ”

The knight who firmly believes in the light in his heart is rapidly crumbling in his faith at this moment, and darkness is born in the light.

Essex and Isidore had known each other for a long time, and he knew and was sure that Isidore would not deceive himself in such a thing.

And what has really been a concern for Essex is that as the sons and paladins of the Temple of Light, the temple should have reacted when they were assassinated for the first time. But until now, Essex has not seen the Inquisition or the adjudicators intervene to stop this savage and unbridled pursuit.

"Anger is meaningless, it only interferes with our thinking, and since we have been given up, it is better to find a way to try to live."

Isidore looked at the angry knight and continued to appease with the holy light, and said in a gentle voice: "Essex, you quickly take off your armor and let me use the holy light to heal your wounds." ”

"But what's the use, Lord Isidore." Essex hung his head in frustration, "The Paladin's strength comes from his devotion and unwavering belief in the Light, but at this moment I no longer believe in the Light. ”

Essex closed his eyes in pain, "Isidore, my faith has been shaken...... Let me be the last guardian shield, the last light to help you get out of here. ”

There were only two of them, and the enemy was an Assassin from a main city. Essex felt that if he didn't sacrifice himself, he might not even be able to get out of here this time.

"It is the Temple of Light that really gives up on us, not the Light of our faith. There is hope for us, Essex. ”

Isidor looked sideways towards the dark cavern and said in a low voice, "Do you remember the mysterious merchant we met earlier, I shredded the scroll that could connect with his friend. I could feel that he had answered my call, that he was almost there, and that we might still have a chance. ”

"But—"

Essex was about to reply, when he jerked his head sideways, his eyes wary in the direction of an entrance. Isidor stopped the release of the light and tried to lift Essex up, but all the light from the entrance and exit of the cavern disappeared in an instant, leaving nothing but darkness.

The eyes didn't play much of a role in the darkness, but the rest of the senses were sharper, Essex and Isidore, both of whom heard the sound of many snakes crawling at the same time. Essex drew his sword from the ground, controlled his body with faith, grabbed Isidore's wrist, and prepared to flee from the hole on the other side of his memory.

However, the ice suddenly spread beneath his feet, and in the pure white snowflakes that glowed in the air, the ground condensed a path of frost made of sharp thorns.

"Don't run away, you have no way back."

With the appearance of cold ice, the dark voice is like a poisonous snake swallowing fangs, terrible and disgusting.

Thunder lit up the pitch-black space, and Essex let go of Isidore's wrist and slashed to the side with a backhand.

The pitch-black bat was split in half by the blade of the enchanted holy light, and the green poisonous blood splattered, turning into a foul and foul-smelling corrosive liquid.

The frost-covered ground is extremely slippery and cold, and when you step on it, you are surrounded by a biting cold.

The staff of light that Isidore had obtained from the temple fell in the middle of his escape, and in the face of the ice-filled ground, Isidor chanted a spell in his mouth, trying to purify the ice directly from the ground, but to no avail.

The terrible voice in the darkness let out a low mockery, followed by countless pitch-black snake-tailed bats, emitting sound waves that seemed to vibrate the dimension.

The black-robed Assassin, dagger in hand, blocked all passages with bats and snakes as he attacked Essex.

The warlocks set restrictions to prevent Isidor and them from escaping, but also to prevent anyone from breaking in.

"If I didn't need to capture you alive, I wouldn't need to be so troublesome......

The magic made his body a little smaller than normal, and the black-robed warlock's exposed hands were like snakeskins, and he walked out of the bats, closed the way here with a spell, looked at Isidore and said: "I didn't expect you to mistakenly think that we were going to kill you, the dead Son is more valuable than the living, but since you have run to such a place, it is also convenient for our actions." ”

Isidore's lips opened slightly, and the strange warlock smiled wickedly and gave him a silence spell.

When Isidore's magic failed and was devoured, the Warlock's gaze shifted to Essex, who swung his sword and fought back against the Assassins, and taunted in a rough voice, "Stop struggling, you have long since been abandoned by your beloved temple and become the first gift of the true gods." ”

Although they were tracked down by magic, the cunning warlock whispered wickedly when they looked at them, "Do you know that if it weren't for your bishop who showed me the direction and told me where the Light was, I wouldn't have been able to find you who fled into the Light so quickly?"

If you don't believe me, I can give you another chance to let your Son unleash another summoning spell and see if there are any judges and high priests to save you. ”

Knowing more, Isidore had blood flowing from his lips and looked indifferent without any response, Essex swung his sword in rage, and the holy light around him quickly dimmed.

Not only Isidore, but also the Light that had fallen into darkness was their target.

The warlock's face was hidden under the black robe, and he was pleased with Essex's behavior.

As for why he didn't just catch the two of them, because he was waiting for the darkness in Essex's heart to break through the belief in the light, and the light as an enemy, he swung his sword and slashed at Isidore.

"Calm down, Essex."

Isidor turned his head to spit out blood and whispered to Essex, "He's disturbing our will." ”

The mana retaliation caused the magic in Isidore's body to be confused, and he was unable to use magic to help Essex.

This group of people was obviously able to catch them directly, but they did it on purpose, as if to completely shatter the faith in the light in their hearts.

Isidore didn't know why they were doing it, but there was a feeling that the moment when faith completely collapsed, it was when they were caught.

The sound waves interfered with Essex's will, preventing him from hearing Isidore's words.

The group of assassins swung their daggers and easily sliced through Essex's armor and flesh. The tip of the blade was also stained with a special poison, causing Essex's will to become more and more confused, and he became more and more disgusted with light.

Clothed in an invisibility cloak, Ryan floated silently in the air, quietly looking at the environment below, he had hoped to hear any useful news, but unfortunately he didn't.

The daggers cut through Essex's flesh, but they wouldn't kill him instantly, his will was confused, and he didn't feel pain.

Ryan quietly looked at Isidore who was being ignored, and asked quietly in his mind, "Tong, is that warlock forcing Essex to fall by doing this?" ”

What to do, I can't bear it, but Essex is also his little leader of Oran, guarding the borders of Oran and secretly monitoring them.

System: "Yes, souls fallen by the light are likewise necessary for sacrificial rituals. ”

Ryan: "And how many people have they caught?" ”

"The target is not yet available, because there are still a few important elements to be found, but the Temple of Light can't wait to break the godhead."

System: "Because of Walter's disappearance, Ivan was secretly in a state of abandonment and trust by the other island lord, and Ivan also hoped to express his role and strength. ”

The cloak can block the breath, and Ryan slowly landed from the air, and continued to ask in his mind: "Tong, is that warlock the true god he just mentioned the god that Thunder City tried to resurrect and control?" ”

He already knew what the group was waiting for, and the moment Essex swung his sword at Isidore, Essex's heart would be completely occupied by the darkness of the fall.

Isidore's belief in the light may be affected, but maybe what else will the people of Thunder City do.

It's just that the Temple of Light is so hateful, Ryan thought to himself.

Instead of answering Ryan's question, the system suddenly said, "The Warlock has prepared the Sleepiness Technique, as well as Isidore's puppet." ”

"I see, when the delirious Essex slashes at the Son he protects, he should fall deeper into darkness, so calculated."

Ryan: "All of all, I need to buy a potion that will quickly clear Isidor and Essex anomalies. ”

After receiving 50 gold coins just now, the system decided not to deceive Krypton for the time being, "It is recommended to use Moon Spring Water after taking the two of them away, which can quickly restore Essex's senses, and can also directly purify the tracking mark left on them by Thunder City." ”

"Then it'll be fine."

Ryan conveyed his plan to Isidor's mind through the system, and at the same time asked, "Isn't the god of light the main god?" ”

The system knew what he wanted to ask, and calmly replied, "The God of Light has not fallen. ”

"In that case, why is a shattered godhead so much to attract the attention of the people of the Temple of Light?"

Ryan, who was communicating with the system, approached Isidore at the same time, and just as the warlock noticed that something was wrong, Ryan appeared and handed Isidore a group teleportation scroll, and at the same time used light magic to pull Essex to his side.

The moment he was controlled by the light again, Essex was simultaneously released by Ryan with a coma spell.

The warlock didn't expect anyone to enter without triggering the trap, and he didn't expect that there were people hiding here besides Essex and Isidore.

It was the moment Ryan controlled the actinic barrier and released an extremely harsh flash of light, pulling Essex to his side.

Ryan touched Isidore and Essex with both hands at the same time, and then Isidor directly tore up the scroll and teleported away in an instant as Ryan told him in advance.

Originally, Ryan was going to fake a scene where both sides were killed, but in the end it was decided that it would be better to find something unpleasant for the Temple of Light, and the light magic he released was temporarily learned from Isidona by time rewinding, although it was not proficient, but it was the pure method of casting the Temple of Light.

Sometimes unskillful can also be used unskillfully.

The Warlock's black-robed hands began to fester, and he sneered as he tracked down Isidor and Essex's breath, only to find that they had gone to the vicinity of the Imperial City.

The light stopped when Ryan left, and the Assassins and the bats returned to the Warlock's side, silent and silent.

The warlock looked in the direction of the Imperial City, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn the Temple of Light." ”

After speaking, he grabbed the farthest bat in the air and used their blood to draw a magic circle of group teleportation.

*

Arriving near the Imperial City with the teleportation scroll to avoid being discovered by the Temple of Light, Ryan draped his cloak over the heads of Isidor and the unconscious Essex, before tearing the scroll apart again and leaving the Imperial City, returning to the other side of the mountain range in Lebaye.

The magic overdraft and the magic backlash made Isidor dizzy, he lifted his hood slightly, stood up straight and looked at Ryan and asked, "Dear magician, are you a friend of the mysterious merchant named Mr. Michelle?" ”

Although Ryan had used light magic just now, Isidore didn't think that the Temple of Light would send someone to save him, even if it was only for a brief moment, he saw that the place where he had teleported earlier was outside the Imperial City.

After asking, Isidor walked towards Essex, trying to hold Essex with his cloak on his head and shaking to the ground.

Ryan tapped the void with his fingertips, and the wind stopped Isidore in his tracks, and said, "Wait, Isidore, you can't touch him now." ”

Isidor asked in a weak and confused whisper, "Why?" ”

"He has been instructed in his head to swing his sword and cut off your head when the light in his heart falls, and then to cut himself off for self-reproach."

Ryan replied in a calm voice, "Otherwise, why do you think those people from Thunder City are waiting just now?" ”

"How-"

Isidore took a step back in disbelief this time, felt chills all over his body, and clenched his hands into fists, "Essex, he is a paladin, and the only one who can give orders in his head is the clergy above the cardinal, but the cardinal can't hide it from me, and the only one who can not be discovered by me is the cardinal or the cardinal archbishop." ”

Cardinals are clergymen who are second only to the Pope.

Ryan sighed lightly, "Then it seems that you have a lot of secrets on you, which is why you were so easily abandoned by the Temple of Light." ”

Isidore was silent for a few seconds, "But I don't know what secrets I have in me that are worth it." ”

Isidore looked up at Ryan with a blank look in his eyes and asked, "Sir, can you help me and Essex?" I'm willing to do anything. ”

"That's what I'm here for."

Ryan glanced sideways at Essex, "I hope you can also go to my friend's territory to do something." ”

"Me too?"

Isidore looked at Essex and Ryan and asked, "Do you mean Essex?" ”

Ryan retracted his gaze, "Yes, the temple uses the Soul Separation Technique, and Essex's other body is on my friend's side. ”

Isidore raised his right hand slightly, "You mean Oran?" ”

As a Son, Isidore knew the art of soul separation, and although he didn't like the temple to do this, he was only a Son of God, and he was not even a candidate for the Pope.

"My friend is Ryan, lord of Oran, a very kind man."

Ryan was dressed in a black robe, and praised himself in a calm tone, "The cloak is just a temporary hidden aura, and if you take it off, the other party will find out where you are, I have moon spring water in my hand, which can not only purify your abnormal state, but also clear the tracking marks on your body." ”

Ryan looked sideways at Essex, "He's loyal to you, but the instructions in his head are dangerous, I can clear the mark in his head and keep your life safe in Oran." ”
