At this time, besides Iros at the round table, the Pope was also leaning on the back of his chair, looking like he was not awake at all, while Heathcote had his eyes lowered, as if he was completely deaf to the outside world.
The old cardinal finally finished stating the affairs of the diocese, stood up, and began to chant incantations. A faint mist slowly rose from the round table, and in the mist, the outline of the entire diocese gradually emerged.
The cardinal pointed to a steep mountainous area and said: "Those heretics gather in this place..."
Before the cardinal finished speaking, he suddenly saw the pope opening his dim eyes and looking at the terrain map formed by magic. Although the flash of light was weak, for some reason, the cardinal was so frightened that
Trembling, I almost sat back in my chair!
He calmed down and looked at the Pope again, only to find that the Pope had returned to his lifeless appearance at some point.
Heathcote suddenly said: "Let me deal with these heretics!"
The cardinal was surprised and happy, and didn't understand why the Holy Son Heathcote became so enthusiastic.
Before he could suppress his excitement and express his gratitude to Heathcote gracefully, he heard Iros yawn very loudly and sit up straight.
Iros's eyes were bright, and he swept away the bored look just now, and smiled at Hescott:
"It has always been the duty of the Holy Church to eliminate heretics. We don't dare to disturb your Holy Knights for this kind of thing. What's more, it's a mountainous area and it's not convenient for the knights to walk, right?"
Heathcote was expressionless and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. I will personally lead the Knights of the Holy Cross to quell the chaos. The efficiency should be faster than that of your Holy Church."
Iros's face immediately changed slightly. There are about a hundred Knights of the Holy Cross. They are a new secret legion established by the Holy Knights in recent years and are directly under the command of Heathcote. The members are all descended angels, so their individual strength goes without saying.
Under the personal leadership of Hescott, the strength of this legion is indeed greater than that of the Temple of Iros.
But Iros had something else to rely on. He smiled coldly and suddenly said to Heathcote:
"You failed to show your piety at the critical moment. Isn't it too late to rush to show your piety now?"
Heathcote frowned, paused for a moment, and then said slowly:
"There is no order of piety, not to mention that all the Lord Gods shine with the brilliance of the God of Light, so how can they be separated from each other?
In addition, Sir Iros, if you are so nervous, maybe you are not serving the God of Light for the sake of the earth? I seem to feel some other atmosphere from this map."
Iros' expression remained unchanged and he said:
"Another breath? You must be too sensitive!
Lord Heathcote, you must fight for the mission that originally belonged to the temple, and for what purpose? Of course, you will definitely not do anything to steal credit."
Before Heathcote could retort, the Pope opened his eyes again and said slowly:
"Don't argue. Since this matter originally belongs to the management of the church, then let Iros take care of it."
Heathcote immediately frowned and said, "It seems inappropriate for Lord Iros to handle this matter, right?"
"There is nothing inappropriate. We must believe in the piety of believers in the Lord." The Pope said slowly:
"Iros, go and get ready!"
Until Iros left, the cardinal had not figured out why the heretics in his diocese had become so popular.
There is a busy scene in the temple, and a new batch of magic equipment has just arrived, and is being distributed according to the individual combat power and attributes of each temple.
Iros strode into the main hall of the temple. He briefly told Qin the plan for the next action, called a few names, and asked her to prepare quickly, and then walked to his hall.
When Iros opened the door of his room, he was momentarily absent-minded.
Lilith was floating in front of the window, gazing at the picturesque scenery of the secret realm.
Julia was kneeling on a chair, staring at a pot of green plants in front of her, in a daze.
After Iros decided to accept Julia that day, the originally tense atmosphere of opposition between the two girls quietly disappeared, and their growth rate also slowed down significantly, completely losing the momentum of growing up in comparison with each other at the beginning.
Several days have passed now. Lilith still looks about seventeen or eighteen years old, while Julia looks about fourteen or fifteen years old.
It's just that at this moment, they have lost all their childishness and their beauty is fully displayed. When the two of them stand side by side, it always makes Iros a little dizzy.
Seeing Iros coming in, they came up to him at the same time.
Lilith floated slowly and stood still in front of Iros.
Julia cheered and jumped directly onto Iros's shoulder. Her movements were unusually fast. Lilith stretched out her hand to grab Julia in mid-air, but she missed!
Lilith's face was immediately covered with a layer of frost.
Iros laughed, reached out and grabbed it in the air, took out the Lake Fairy God Sword, and handed it to Lilith.
She lowered her head slightly, took the divine sword, and threw it into the void.
Iros smiled slightly and reached out to Lilith.
Lilith was slightly startled, and leaned towards Iros out of habit, but then she realized what she was doing and wanted to step back.
But when she saw Julia sitting high on Iros's shoulders, looking at her triumphantly, Lilith frowned slightly, seemed to grit her teeth, and stood still, and then she was also moved by Iros. Lose took him into his arms.
Julia stared at Lilith, smiling more and more proudly, while Lilith's eyebrows wrinkled tighter and tighter.
She suddenly had a feeling, a feeling of being cheated.
At this moment, in this situation, Iros could only smile.
However, good times and beautiful scenery are always short-lived. In the blink of an eye, the blood-like clouds have been hanging outside the window for a long time.
Iros looked out the window, smiled, and said with a smile:
"The time has come. Let's go, it's time for us to kill again."
It was already dusk when Iros stepped out of the teleportation circle with Qin and more than ten saints.
Half of the setting sun was like blood, coating the stretching mountains and forests below with a thick layer of red.
Iros took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly, distinguishing the various scents remaining in the air.
After a moment, he raised his hand and pointed into the distance.
There is a valley surrounded by mountains, beautiful and quiet. There are several villages scattered among the green trees. There are several stone walls built at the entrance of the valley, cleverly using the surrounding terrain to protect the valley.
"Kill them all."
Iros gave orders to Qin.
Qin Gong respectfully accepted the order, said hello to the All Saints Church behind him, and flew towards the valley.
At this moment, Julia suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed towards Qin in the air. A burst of light green light flashed across Qin's body, and she was fixed in the air.
Iros was startled and turned to look at Julia.
"Let her stay here!" Julia said suddenly. This was the first time Iros heard her speak.
Iros glanced at Qin, who had regained his ability to move, then looked at Julia, and then said to Qin:
"You stay here to take care of it, while the others continue to act."
There seemed to be many nearby residents in the valley, and there were many powerful auras within them. However, compared with the wolves and tigers of the Holy Church, who were skilled in cooperative combat, they were just strong sheep.
Even without Qin, a powerful mage, it would only be a matter of time before more than ten holy churches killed these mountain people.
The temples roared and rushed towards the valley, while Iros took Lilith and Julia and flew to a stone peak next to the valley.
In the vast sky, only Yu Qin stood alone in the wind.
When the first scream began to echo in the valley, Iros had already set foot on the top of the stone peak, and Julia and Lilith followed him down.
The stone peak is extremely steep. There is a smooth platform on the top of the peak, which seems to have been cut manually. There are several ancient trees growing on the corner of the platform, and there is a small stone house under the shade of the trees.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, this stone house looks both elegant and lonely.
Iros's eyebrows slowly knitted together. He walked towards the stone house and gently opened the door. Standing in the stone house was a woman with an elegant and colorful figure.
When she heard the door opening, she turned around. After seeing the person clearly, she smiled and said, "Ilos, you are finally here."
With that gentle elegance and calm and majestic smile, who else could it be besides Alderney?
Iros looked at her, was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Yes, I'm here, but you..."
Alderney walked up to Ilos and said gently:
"Did you see it? In fact, there is nothing wrong with me, it's just that my magic power is gone.
Even if I still have magic power now, it's of no use."
Having said this, she glanced behind Iros, smiled softly, and said:
"Well, who are those two beauties? Are they your new love? You are so capable! You can always find beauties who are better than you."
