PS: PS: Tanuki knows that the updates in the last few days are not powerful, and every time it is so late, I apologize here!

But now it's okay, the damn bronchitis is gone, and the next thing is back to normal. Well, the pit filling maniac civet cat is back strongly, where is the applause, where is the ......^-^

A small town in the north, fame doesn't matter. Just know that it's in the middle of nowhere, off the beaten track. Aside from the locals and a few bards who wander here occasionally, there are hardly any strangers who come here.

It is precisely because of this that although the distance between the town and the northern temple is only more than 100 miles in a straight line, it is almost the closest gathering place to the temple. However, the many winds and rains about the temple in the outside world still did not affect the silence here.

But this morning, the town welcomed a strange face.

With a handsome appearance, a warm smile, and holy armor, the whole person looks extremely heroic and upright. Dressed up like this, even if the residents of the town don't see the world, they know that there is a great big man.

The attitude of this big man seems to be very gentle, but the residents of this place naturally dare not talk to each other, and the purpose of this big man is also very clear, nodding and smiling with passers-by through most of the town, to an ordinary house on the north side.

Turning his head to look around, he raised his hand, and there was a knock knock...... Squeak!

The wooden door of the house was not closed, and after a few knocks, it opened by itself, and the big man raised his eyebrows and was about to step in. But at this moment, suddenly, his legs and feet hovered in the air, his expression changed, and he said urgently, "Don't get me wrong...... It's me!"

The half-concealed wooden door was fully opened, and a small courtyard came into view. On the front steps of the house, a gray-haired old woman was half-sitting. The expression was pale. Pouting and squinting. There is a persistent fighting intent in his eyes that does not match his identity.

The explanation of identity did not have any obvious effect, on the contrary, the battle spirit around the old woman rose wildly, covering the entire courtyard in a short instant, and the warm light seemed to have no temperature and gradually became cold.

After a pause, looking at this undiminished battle spirit, the big man realized something. Raising his hands: "Well, I came alone." ”

After looking at each other for a moment, the old woman's eyes drooped slightly, and the surrounding war intent disappeared in an instant, and her brows furrowed slightly: "How did you know that I was here...... Owens?"

The big man, oh, that is, Owens, did not answer the question immediately, but first breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Others don't know, but Owens knows the old woman in front of him. What kind of terrifying strength does it have! Don't talk about anything else, if this old woman chooses to do it just now. Then most of what he could do was turn around and run away......

Waving his hand, the corners of his mouth flashed a warm smile again, "Hi, Vivian Charvian." I'm a friend I've known for many years, so I don't expect you to hand me a cup of tea, but at least let me in first......"

After a pause, looking at Xia Wei'an, who was pretending to be an old woman, her brows became more and more furrowed, Owens' eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly spread his hands and pressed down, "Okay, okay, I'm really afraid of you...... I'd better come in by myself. ”

Crossing the threshold, Owens didn't talk nonsense, and said directly, "It's really good to use this place as a hiding place, it's quiet, and it's not easy to be thought of." But, hehe, to be honest, there are many people who know your character, but I'm definitely one of the top ones. ”

"Regarding the matter of the Bounty Hunters Guild, the temple is indeed very unauthentic to you. But I know you can't be discouraged and betray the Temple. Instead, you're only thinking about how to get the temple back on the right track, aren't you? hehe, so I'm sure you can't be too far away from the temple, and you should be waiting around here for your chance. ”

Pursing her lips, Charvian was silent. Without denying it, that also means acquiescence.

"As for how to know that you are hiding ......here," Owens shook his head and sighed after a pause, "Actually, I just deliberately gathered information around the temple. But you, Charvienne, will always be so jealous and hateful. But it's only been a few days since I cleaned up a bully in the town......"

Speaking of which, it is undoubtedly clear that Xia Wei'an came to hide in this remote town, and she shouldn't have made any moves, but her jealous and hateful personality still made her teach the bullies in the town a lesson. And it was this inconspicuous little thing that made the delicate Owens quickly come to him......

In a way, Owens was not boasting about what he said before, he did know Shavian very well.

Of course, these are just speculations. You must know that at the moment of entering the door just now, I thought I was running for nothing this time......" Stepping closer, Owens couldn't help but squint, looking up and down at Xia Wei'an's disguise, especially on her face, and couldn't help but be amazed, "This camouflage technique is simply amazing! If it weren't for the battle intent just now, I would still think I had recognized the wrong person...... Well, when did you know such a master?"

Subconsciously touched the folds of his face, was stunned, and then returned to normal. Xia Wei Yan didn't mean to explain, but said lightly, "What are you still looking for me for...... I'm a depraved wanted person who colludes with evil heresies, and if I'm not mistaken, the temple is hunting me down right now, aren't you afraid of being implicated by me?"

Owens couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "Uh...... You already know?"

"Humph!" with a soft snort, Charvian flipped her right hand and threw a ...... Owens raised his hand in amazement, took the origami with wings and looked like a bird, and his face was full of strangeness, "Hey, I really didn't see it, when did you have this craft, Shavian? How did you fold it into the shape of a bird? It's very delicate......

"This is the paper crane ......" Xia Wei'an subconsciously opened her mouth to correct, but then frowned, impatiently waved her hand, "Take it apart!"

"Okay, but how do you dismantle this...... Eh?" Judging from the paper traces, the paper crane seems to have been disassembled and folded many times, so before Owens finished speaking, the paper crane in his hand had naturally been disassembled and scattered into a piece of white paper and black letters.

The content on the paper is very simple, it is a temple wanted post. But the wanted object written at the beginning - Xia Weian, these three words are enough to make the world stunned!

Who is Xia Weien? That is the martial arts genius of the temple that has not been produced for a hundred years! It is the flower of knights that many men and women admire very much! It is the chief of the holy knight who has killed countless evil heretics...... But now, such a meritorious and glorious Charvian has become a wanted criminal who colluded with evil heresies and directly caused the destruction of a large area of the temple!

Silent for a moment. Owens suddenly thought of something. His face was full of surprise: "You were ...... at that time Belch. Didn't you leave the City of Light?"

This wanted notice was issued on the spot the day after the destruction of the temple, and there were not many of them, and there could be no place outside of the Holy Light City. This also means that when the temple was preparing to make a big search, the target of the search was actually right under their noses......

"Unexpected, unexpected, really unexpected......" Repeating it three times in a row, Owens kept shaking his head, looking at Xia Wei'an's eyes full of shock, "I just found out now." I don't know you very well. ”

"Not my idea. After a brief explanation, Xia Wei'an's expression was obviously impatient, "You haven't answered my question yet, what are you doing here to find me?"

If it weren't you, it would have to be Donne...... Owens suppressed the speculation in his heart, spread his hands and said: "The reason is very simple, I was not optimistic about your attitude towards the temple before, but now I am even more unaccustomed to the temple's treatment of you. So, I decided to help you. ”

"Help me?" Charvian raised an eyebrow, "What can you do for me?"

"Uh...... What's the matter with your skeptical attitude? Anyway, I also risked my life to help you as a friend. No matter how bad my strength is. You won't save me any face, right? ”

Holding his forehead, Owens looked helpless, "Moreover, at least I'm a traitor, and I'm always competent to report to you, right?"

Hearing this, Xia Weien looked at Owens fixedly, and pondered for a moment: "Have you thought about it?"

"Of course!"

"Okay, I believe you!" Charvian simply nodded, "But what news can you bring me?"

"Hehe, how can I say that I am also the chief of the Holy Knight, and my popularity is not bad, and the news is naturally well-informed. Well, let me first tell you about the recent situation of the temple, you don't know what the temple and the Holy Light City have been in chaos in the past few days......"

......

Xia Wei'an has been staying in the town to sort out her thoughts for the past few days, and naturally she doesn't know the situation outside. Now from Owens's mouth, he learned that the temple is in a difficult situation......

Leave aside the rest of the rest, just what Owens actually saw. In the City of Light, where the faith is the strongest, it is also in turmoil now.

Some believers gathered around the temple day and night with the scandals that broke out one after another, demanding explanations and responses from the temple leaders. Some were even more disheartened, so disappointed in the temple, they moved their families out of the Holy Light City directly. Others are more radical, arguing, fighting, and scuffling in the city with fanatics who defend the temple......

“...... Alas, in the past few days, apart from collecting news about you, I have hardly had a moment of leisure, and I have constantly taken a large group of knights out to fight...... Old Bolton of the city's bakery remembers that his ancestors had lived in the City of Light for generations, and his family had been faithful to the Temple. But this time, for the sake of the temple, he fought with his son Little Bolton. When we rushed over, the two of them were bleeding from their heads, and they couldn't pull them apart...... Later, I pulled away old Bolton and dragged me tightly, constantly asking loudly if the matter of the Bounty Hunters Guild was fake, if it was a rumor made up by someone else. I don't know how to describe that look, but I can't forget it for the rest of my life...... But how do you ask me to answer? Saying no, you can comfort him, but you can't explain his doubts, and you can't convince me. How could I bear it, and finally I had to let him drag me all the time......"

Take a long breath and "Whew...... Actually, I'm not here to help you, but also for myself. Because at least that's how I can feel a little more at ease...... I didn't think well of you before, because I thought the temple was still alive. But now...... But one thing is certain, and that is that if the temple continues like this, it will collapse......

In Owens's lonely sigh, Xia Wei'an's expression couldn't help but be stunned, and she was half speechless.

She naturally knows about the Bounty Hunters Guild, and looking at the wanted notice these days, sometimes she will be ruthless and think about exposing this matter directly, and then see how the temple will explain to tens of millions of believers......

Of course, that's what you think about. After all, she is a person from the Temple of Light, and she naturally understands the truth that family ugliness should not be publicized, so she is still more inclined to report this matter to the general association and solve it internally. But she didn't expect someone to be one step ahead of her and directly expose this matter. It's still reasonable. It's convincing......

Meantime. Xia Weien didn't expect that this incident would cause such a large-scale turmoil, far beyond expectations, and even gave people the feeling that the temple was like an assassin or a thief, to the point where everyone shouted and beat him!

Taking a deep breath, Xia Weien pursed her lips, as if she had decided something, and said slowly, "You say, if I stand up now and announce that the matter of the Bounty Hunters Guild is true." What will be the result?"

"Uh...... No kidding, it's messy enough now...... Are you serious?" Looking at Xia Wei'an's familiar persistent gaze, Ovinston was a little dumbfounded, and opened his mouth to want to veto it directly, but in the end he held back and frowned, "Reason!"

After spending a few days in this quiet town, Xia Weien obviously took advantage of this to figure out a lot of things, and Wen Yan calmly explained, "We all know that the matter of the Bounty Hunters Guild is true. Those who buy murder should not be fake. You can't hide it just by hiding it, that's it. Then why don't we choose to expose it ourselves. Of course, believers will be disappointed, and even angry and resentful...... But at least this way, we can let some believers know that there is still light, justice, and hope for redress in the temple after their anger!"

Owens couldn't help but scratch his hair when he heard this, suppressed the chill on his scalp with a tingling pain, and looked hesitant: "Leave it to death and live later?" uh, what do you think...... There's some truth, but it's a little bolder! Well, can't you just be gentle?"

"No, you can't. Xia Wei'an waved her hand firmly, "The temple is like a serious illness now, and it can't be resisted by carrying it, and it can only be cured with heavy medicine." Otherwise, we will only watch it weaken, decay, and eventually perish!"

"Well, that struck me. He spread his hands, "But in this way, do we still have a chance to heal the temple?

This is a fact, both Charvian and Owens were born in the Temple of Light, so they naturally knew what kind of terrifying power the temple had. It is no exaggeration to say that it is no more difficult to pinch them to death than to pinch them to death than to pinch an ant.

"Oh, not necessarily. Xu determined the direction of his efforts, Xia Wei'an's expression was much more relaxed, and he said with a chuckle, "Don't talk about it, just talk about that Don En." He was wanted by the whole continent of the temple, and now he is not living a good life, and even dared to come to the northern temple to make trouble a few days ago, but we still can't help him. ”

Owens was about to say something, but Shavian interrupted with a wave of his hand, "Of course, I know we're different from that guy. Well, I hate to admit it, but he's a lot better than us in some ways. At least when it comes to how to escape, I've never seen anyone more ...... More professional. ”

Thinking of a suitable adjective, he paused, "But we also have our own advantages and helpers, and we are not fighting alone." ”

"Advantages and helpers?" Owens raised his eyebrows in surprise, thought about it, and asked in confusion, "Is there one?"

"Of course there is!" Xia Wei nodded heavily, looking very confident: "The temple is indeed in trouble now, but not all clergy have problems. Have you forgotten that there is always a group of people in the temple who have an extremely pure belief in God the Father......"

Before the words fell, Owens's heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help blurting out, "Puritans!"

"Yes, it's the Puritans. In addition to this, there are some ascetics, who are the pillars of the temple!"

The so-called Puritans, in fact, are normal clergy. Their actions are strictly in accordance with the ancient temple teachings, and they advocate a way of life of diligence and hardship. At the same time, they believe that the current state of the temple is gradually deteriorating, so their core proposition is that the temple is 'pure'.

And it is precisely because of this proposition that their position in the temple is a bit strange. After all, not all clergy have such an awareness as theirs, and over time, they simply form their own within the temple.

It is conceivable that such a faction is naturally disliked by the majority of the clergy, so under the suppression of intentional or unintentional suppression, almost no one in this faction can occupy a high position in the temple, and it is really weak to have a sense of zài. This also made Owens not think of them just now......

As for the ascetics, needless to say, just look at the name to know what kind of group it is. They are only interested in the study of doctrine, or they are obsessed with power, and they don't care about the rest, and they are considered to be one of the few neutrals within the temple.

In a certain sense, Chavien was both a Puritan and an ascetic, and naturally had a good relationship with the people of these two factions. So if she comes forward, this is indeed an advantage and helper!

"Well, it looks like you've been thinking a lot of things these days. Well, I have to say, I was convinced by you. After a little hesitation, Owens decisively slapped his palm, "Then do it, I'll contact the Puritans, and you go and announce the matter of the Bounty Hunters Guild...... Be careful, knowing that you may be charged as a traitor to the Temple for a long time to come!"

"Actually, I'm already a traitor, aren't I?" Pointing to the wanted post, Xia Wei'an looked self-deprecating, and then touched her wrinkled old face, "Fortunately, I have this now, I should be able to avoid it for a while...... Hehe, it's ironic to think about. I was hell-bent on killing him, but I didn't expect that one day I would use his stuff to save my life. ”

He didn't say it explicitly, but Owens naturally knew who this 'he' was referring to, and shrugged his shoulders: "Then take it as the price he paid for destroying most of the demitheon, so that it can be used with peace of mind." ”

“...... Actually, I threw the demon skull. ”

"Uh......"

......

Just one day later, somewhere in a town, Xia Weien really stood up and confirmed the relationship between the Temple of Light and the Bounty Hunters Guild.

Not to mention whether her practice of putting her death and resurrection can succeed, at least for now, this remark made with her prestige has become the last straw that crushes the camel's back, and the power of the temple in the north has completely fallen into passivity, and even has a tendency to be driven out......

And she, the original Divine Grand Knight of the Temple of Light, became a traitor who was scolded by everyone overnight. Ordinary believers still can't understand it, fanatics are directly insulting, and the temple is secretly sending people to hunt down and kill......

The only beneficiary may be Don in Coldwater City. After getting the news, Rao was as calm as him, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and then he couldn't help but raise his head and sigh,

"Sure enough...... One powder is worth ten black!"

............ (To be continued......)
