Angele smiled and did not answer. "Little Rilla, could you please go pick some berries for us and bring them back? It's the second berry bush. I saw some ripe ones again."
Frila pouted and reluctantly got out of the carriage.
Angelet didn't speak again until the footsteps were far away.
"I don't want the little guy to know too much about the strength of the church in this regard. So I'm leaving her alone for now. Now, I want to ask, with Cynthia's strength, who hurt him to that extent?"
Hylia glanced at the companions beside her. Cynthia was lowering her head and clenching her fists. "Next time...next time I will definitely kill him!! And I will never need you to save me!" He raised his head and glared at Hailia.
A glance at Leah.
The latter opened his mouth innocently, not knowing what to say.
"Oh? Hylia saved you?" Angele was stunned, and his eyes suddenly fell on the helpless and decadent mercenary.
Cynthia curled her lips: "This guy used to be... now..." He fell silent and stopped talking.
"I just felt dizzy at the time, so I rushed forward. When I woke up, I had already carried you and ran far away." Hylia scratched her head innocently. "As for that weird-looking paladin, he was gone too."
For a moment, the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became extremely strange.
*********************************
In a palace somewhere far away
In the huge white silver-edged palace, the ground is as smooth as a mirror, and there are hollow relief patterns everywhere on both sides. Bright sunlight shines in from the hollows, illuminating the entire hall exceptionally brightly.
There were rows of people standing on the left and right sides of the palace. On the left were generals in silver and gold-rimmed armor, and on the right were priests in black robes with gold-rimmed robes.
The bright sunlight reflected on the clothes and armor of these people, giving off a faint golden halo.
"Where have we talked?" A thin old man sitting at the highest position in the hall asked in a low voice.
"About the topic of scattered wizards appearing in the Eastern Territory and needing to be cleaned up." A black-robed priest on the right stood up and answered loudly.
"With Lord Lei Xu passing by, there will definitely be no problem!" One of the generals on the opposite side stood up and said loudly.
"Didn't Master Lei Xu go to the south? The trial of the Doomed Libra hasn't ended yet, and he won't be able to come back for a while, right?" There was a sneer on the corner of the priest's mouth. "If there is no way to clean up the east for the time being, I will change it.
A good recommendation.”
"The east side is Lord Lei Xu's inherent territory. You priests don't need to interfere!" the general responded coldly. The light reflected from the golden edge of his silver armor became more and more dazzling, as if as his emotions fluctuated, the armor all over his body became brighter and brighter.
.
"Yes, that's the problem. But we can't leave the wizards in the east alone, right?" The black-robed priest concealed his smile and said with a solemn expression, "I recommend Bishop Angrila to go to the east to resolve matters, and we can't let the wizards wander to other territories.
.”
"The lesson from the last moon disk incident was not enough? Bishop Angella and you are really close... You want to take part in any good thing." Another paladin stood up and said sarcastically.
"If it weren't for your Paladins' ineffective interception, we wouldn't have been defeated and retreated in the end, and the power of the moon disk couldn't be sealed. Everything is your responsibility!" Someone else from the priest stood up and yelled.
"It's not that your seal is weak, why can't we intercept it..."
"It's you..."
The two sides suddenly escalated and started to quarrel fiercely. The whole hall was chaotic and noisy.
"Well..." The thin old man sitting in the highest position took off the platinum crown on his head. He rubbed his temples with a headache on his face. He waited for a while. The noise below became more and more intense, and several paladins and bishops even started to argue.
There were signs of action on his sleeves. The Pope then coughed hard twice.
The hall suddenly became quiet, everyone's voices disappeared in an instant, and an invisible wave prohibited the spread of all sounds.
After a few minutes, both parties realized something was wrong. They returned to their seats, and the silence was slowly lifted.
The Pope picked up the white gold and sapphire royal sword that was placed beside the black throne and touched it gently to the ground.
Snapped!
Only a crisp knocking sound echoed throughout the hall.
"Okay, okay, everyone, please calm down. Knight Commander Thunderbeard has just come back. Let's hear the latest progress of the trial first." The Pope put down the royal sword and said loudly.
Bang!!
The heavy white stone door of the main hall was violently pushed open, or rather knocked open.
A tall paladin in gold-rimmed silver armor quickly walked into the center of the hall with heavy steps. His feet stepped on the thick white wool carpet, and there was actually a dull thud of footsteps.
This paladin is two meters tall and has a strong build. He carries two silver-black long-handled war hammers on his back. His arms are as thick as an average person's thighs. He holds a pale golden helmet in his right hand and is slowly pulling off the metal with his left hand.
Gloves.
The most strange thing is his face. There are two long white tentacles on his face, one on the left and one on the right.
Like most adult men, he has a white beard that reaches his chest, and to the left and right of the white beard are two white tentacles.
The white, thick and round fleshy tentacles were dragged until they were as long as the beard. The two white tentacles were like beards, swaying as the man walked.
"Lord Lei Xu, you are back..." The Paladin side suddenly stopped and respectfully saluted. The black-robed priests on the other side also snorted and looked away.
Lei Xu nodded, walked forward a few steps, bent down and knelt on one knee, and the armor hit the ground with a muffled sound.
"I disappoint you. I failed to complete the task of judging the scales." His voice was very calm and serious, with a hint of age, obviously he was not young.
Upon hearing this, the paladins suddenly showed expressions of confusion and surprise. Most of the black-robed priests showed gloating expressions on their faces.
The Pope frowned.
"what is going on?"
Lei Xu lowered his head to collect his thoughts.
"I was about to kill the Doomed Libra, but was interfered by a guy with a weird wizard bloodline, and was unable to complete the task immediately. Then the Doomed Libra, who was supposed to have lost his memory, actually reawakened. Although I tried my best to intercept, but
Or they escaped. This is my responsibility."
"Awakening?" The pope narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment, "This is not your fault Thunderbeard. The Doom Libra's escape ability is very powerful. It is not your responsibility to fail to intercept it. It's just that none of us expected that it could still
Awaken..."
Lei Xu nodded: "It usually doesn't show any abnormality, but once it encounters a major stimulus, it will immediately change its form and awaken its past memories. Therefore, I suggest that it is best to use a more concealed method to conduct the trial."
"This matter is still left to you. I give you the right to mobilize all personnel in the south." The Pope nodded. "Go, as the strongest paladin of my church, don't live up to God's expectations of you. God's Eyes Watch
Follow us."
Lei Xu lowered his head: "God's grace is mighty."
*********************************
Between the distant mountains and sea of trees, somewhere hidden in the heart of the mountains.
Inside the cave, a group of old men wearing tattered black robes sat around in a narrow, dark and damp hall. They were all scattered on gray stone chairs.
The dim yellow torches on the wall were burning cracklingly, emitting a faint yellow firelight. In the gray-white stone hall, a total of nine old people sat silently in their respective positions, each holding a piece of black paper in their hands, and they were carefully reading the information recorded on it.
As time goes by, the more you look at the back, the faces of these old people become more and more ugly, and some of their bony arms begin to tremble slightly.
Finally, the silence was broken.
"We must move immediately! Once a few Holy Power Rings come, no one here can escape! All wizards can only repeat the tragedy of the past!" The white-haired old man sitting at the top stood up and said in a deep voice.
.
The heavy voice echoed in the stone hall, and the last sentence made everyone's eyes seem to flash back to the bloody and cruel scene. The entire valley was almost filled with the blood and bones of the wizard.
"How is the situation at the Esia hiding place?"
"The news came last month that it had been breached..." A one-armed old witch replied in a low voice.
"Where's Rainbow Canyon?"
"Without a trace, the last message from Chief Rainbow Wizard is to move all gathering points. The entire Rainbow Canyon seems to have gone through a big battle, I'm afraid..."
"I'm afraid..." The white-haired wizard closed his eyes, showing a sad look.
A group of wizards fell silent.
"Has even the psychedelic city of Esia, which is said to never fall, been breached... Are we wizards really unable to fight against the Holy Knights?" The white-haired old man sat down slowly, with a look of helplessness and helplessness on his face.
resentment.
"There is no way, we wizards are inherently unable to fight against the Holy Power Knights. As long as they have a Holy Power Ring, they can transform from ordinary people into terrifying witch hunters." Another red-haired old man said in a low voice.
"And the Holy Power's blessing to them has been incredibly powerful! Whether it's hallucinations, toxins, curses, spiritual shocks... any of our methods will have minimal impact on those blessed by the Holy Power! Their resilience and willpower
, strength, speed and defense have all reached a frightening level."
After saying this, all the old wizards showed approval on their faces.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, we must immediately plan the next retreat point!" The white-haired old man came back to his senses, "Last time, we just ran in with a Holy Power Ring, and we sacrificed more than a dozen wizards and a lot of traps.
The puppets surrounded and killed him. We can't bear this kind of loss anymore! We can't bear this kind of loss either!"
He gently raised the staff, and a ball of snow-white light lit up on the top of the staff.
"Inform the other three major gathering point wizard leaders to find the next hiding spot as soon as possible to build a barrier, and move immediately before the church discovers us! Without defensive barriers, there is no way we can be the opponent of the Holy Power Ring, let alone the Paladin and the
Black priest!"
"Yes, elder!" Several others bowed their heads. (To be continued)
