Joan of Arc looked at Eloise's stunned back, tremblingly stretched out her right hand and touched the back of his head.
Elos shuddered instinctively, maybe this was a fatal blow.
The right hand attached to the pure holy light energy touched the back of Ilosu's head and gently stroked his black hair. The holy light in his hand seemed to be as joyful as a child who got a beloved toy.
The imagined end of death has not come, and the originally scorching holy light has not felt its overbearing heat and erosion, which makes Elos a little incredible.
Turning around and looking at the black-haired and dark-eyed girl in front of him who had just withdrawn his right hand, Eloise was a little confused.
"Why?"
The girl who was originally a bit cold smiled, as elegant and pretty as the lily of the valley blooming in the cold winter.
"I don't know, the smell on your body is very attractive to me. You see, my holy light energy likes you very much."
Joan of Arc did not say it directly: In my eyes, you are simply fresh and delicious.
Joan of Arc showed Elos the joyful holy light on her body at the moment. The power of this holy light seemed to be alive, stretching out strands of tentacles and wrapping around his body gently, without feeling any discomfort.
This shocked him greatly. Aren't holiness and evil incompatible with each other?
Looking at the confused Eloise, Joan of Arc once again smiled beautifully.
"It seems that your understanding of strength is very superficial. When I attacked you just now, I didn't even use half of my strength. Your fighting talent and potential are second only to Heathcote among the people I have seen, but against
You know very little about the origin of power."
Elos was silent. Although he was curious about the source of power, he had his own dignity for the girl from the religious court in front of him.
Joan of Arc didn't care about Elos's thoughts, but put forward a condition that surprised him.
"I can teach you how to get to the heart of the source of power."
"As a member of the Holy Church, why don't you kill me and teach me instead?"
Eloise was confused in his heart. If he hadn't intuitively told him that Joan of Arc had no ill intentions towards him, and also sensed the difference between her and other members of the Holy Church, otherwise he would not have compromised even if he died in battle.
"I'm different from them!
"Those old guys who are lying on their backs thinking they are the servants of the Lord. In fact, they don't even understand what the Holy Light is. They only know how to make money and enhance their own power. They treat the believers as lambs and compare themselves to shepherds. Little do they know that they are the ones being targeted.
The one that grazes!”
Joan of Arc said with some disdain.
Eloise was silent. He had heard about the strife within the Holy Empire for a long time, but hearing it from the core personnel of the Religious Inquisition felt a little strange.
"Don't look at me like that. I am extremely devout to the Lord. It can be said that except for those devout people who have been stamped with ideological stamps from below, there are few people in the Holy Empire who are more devout than me."
Joan of Arc saw that Eloise was a little confused and explained: "The Lord actually doesn't care which way people believe in Him. He only cares about whether it can bring more sources of faith. To put it bluntly, that is
See if you are useful to the Lord. No matter how pious a worthless person is, it is just a joke."
For a while, Eloise couldn't digest the information revealed by Joan of Arc. The rebellious girl in front of her kept talking about her religious beliefs, but what she did was so outrageous.
"Give me a sweet word, do you want to learn from me?" Joan of Arc was a little impatient, but she didn't have an attack. According to her past personality, she would have been violent and beat him up. Now she has suppressed her temper.
It's strange why she and the Holy Light in her body want to get close to this man instinctively. Joan of Arc also doesn't understand.
Elos breathed a long sigh of relief. "What do I need to pay?"
Facing Joan of Arc, Elos realized that the continent is huge, there are people outside the world, and there is a world beyond the sky. A religious tribunal has such strength, but what about the Holy Knights, the Twelve Cardinals, and even the Pope?
He didn't want to think about it, but facing his parents' hatred and the desire for power deep in his heart, he made a compromise at this moment.
"How about staying with me for a while and practicing with me until I break through to legend?" Joan looked at Eloise expectantly.
"It's that simple?"
"That's the short answer!"
The two looked at each other for a long time and were speechless for a moment.
As soon as Elos picked up the Broken Star, he felt his hand was slightly numb. Joan of Arc took the Broken Star out of his hand gently and deftly, and the Broken Star was already in her hand.
"This sword is really beautiful, just like you." Joan looked at Broken Star carefully, and looked at Eloise from time to time, sighing.
"Thank you." Eloise didn't like others complimenting his appearance.
Throwing the broken star to Eloise, Jeanne shook her head and said casually.
"Where shall we go next?"
Joan of Arc did not say where you are going, but where we are going.
"I'm going to the Xirel Empire. I need to deliver some information and then return to the Shire."
Elos couldn't help but ask: "The three empires are not within the sphere of influence of your Holy Church. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to go."
"It doesn't matter." Joan of Arc was a little unimpressed, "Those fools can't detect me, so don't compare me with those red gloves who have neither brains nor strength. But apart from their poor strength, those people are very devout in their beliefs!
"
Helpless, Eloise had no choice but to lead Jeanne d'Arc northward to chase the people of the Golden Group. Along the way, she had to explain various things that interested her to the girl who was chattering endlessly.
Also, it is difficult to release one's nature in the repressive environment of the Holy See. Even the legendary iron maiden is just a child.
Soon, the two men caught up with the Golden Group.
The mercenaries looked at the black-armored girl next to Ilosu as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They knew that she was the one who fought Ilosu just now, but they didn't know why the two of them came together.
Fortunately, Eloise explained, "Don't panic, this girl is a friend of mine. I just haven't seen her for a long time. We had a discussion and made everyone worried."
The mercenaries were relieved, but doubts suddenly arose in their hearts.
"Friends? Can a battle of that level be a sparring match? It's more like lying to a ghost. They are really two monsters."
But what everyone in the Golden Company doesn't know is that compared to Joan of Arc, Eloise can only be regarded as a little monster.
However, no one was aware of the identity of the Holy Church of Joan of Arc.
If Joan of Arc didn't use the Holy Fighting Qi, even Elos wouldn't be able to tell that she came from the Holy Empire.
This girl has really cultivated the sacred fighting spirit to the state of transformation, and can control it freely.
A few days later, everyone entered Catalonia, the largest city on the border of the Xirel Empire and the location of the headquarters of the Mercenary Association.
Thanks to the cover of the Golden Company and Eloise, Jeanne and Arc's auras were perfectly concealed, and they quickly entered the city smoothly.
Captain Arthur ignored his injuries and left directly to report the mission to the Mercenary Association, leaving Maiev and Vivian to accompany Eloise and Jeanne.
Under the guidance of Maiev and Vivian, Iloth found the information transmission point specially set up by the Magic Association. After spending a large sum of gold galleons, he transmitted his safe information to the Storm Fortress Mage Tower in the Principality of Shire.
information.
Joan of Arc on the side looked at Elos communicating with the magician at the information transmission point, feeling a little bored for a moment.
After reuniting with the Golden Company, she returned to her former cold personality. It seemed that her gentleness would only be shown in front of Ilosu.
After all matters were settled, Eloise said goodbye to everyone in the Golden Company, and headed north with Joan of Arc.
"Miss Joan of Arc, to the north is Albrex. Are you sure there is no problem with your identity?"
"Of course, as long as I don't use the power of the Holy Light, only a strong person above the legend will discover my identity."
"What about when force is needed, aren't you exposed?" Eloise was still a little worried, but he didn't care, but because Joan of Arc exposed the identity of the Holy Church, he was most likely to be suspected of having something to do with the Holy Empire.
colluded, and then implicated the Grand Duke of Gros and implicated the Charles.
Seeing that Eloise was becoming serious, Joan of Arc explained: "I will not go deep into the Albrex Empire. In fact, the main reason I came out this time is to meet you. For some reason, there is something about you that attracts me."
Elos asked curiously: "What's Dongxi, can you tell me?"
Joan of Arc said: "I don't know, but I know that the key to becoming a legend lies in you."
Elos was a little confused. Could it be that the blood of the Devil Lord could help the Daughter of the Holy Light advance to the next level? It seemed that the girl didn't know why.
Forget it, sometimes it’s better to be a little confused.
This girl from the Religious Inquisition cannot be beaten by herself, and she is still following her, which is also a headache. At present, it seems that she will not attack herself again, just take it one step at a time.
"If you don't kill me, how will you explain it to the Holy Church?"
"Explain? Haha, I have my own way for this. In fact, you are indispensable to the Holy Church. Your personal weak ability is insignificant in the overall situation. The Holy Church has always been able to easily crush people to death. It is not easy to deal with.
Let’s leave it aside for now. How can the church’s senior leaders have so much energy to care about the movements of one or two kittens and puppies? You know, the church has many enemies.”
Eloise was a little silent.
Yes, my own power is indeed insignificant in terms of the size of the Holy Church. It can't even defeat Joan of Arc, the ironclad figure of the Religious Inquisition. Not to mention the three giants above, the Twelve Cardinals and the Holy Son.
pope.
While talking, the two of them had already left Catalonia.
Catalonia, a city of trade, a city of mercenaries, a city of opportunity and other historical cities, is so lively and bustling at the moment, with a bustling flow of people, and its strong economic strength reflects the supremacy of the Siriel Empire.
of glory.
No one could have imagined that turbulent changes were just around the corner, and war was an inevitable fate.
This time, no creature in the continent of Toril can survive alone.
The days of peace are numbered.
The end of the war is right in front of us!
