Remedios looked angry and his voice became louder.
"You mean the Sorcerer King has purged the church?!"
"That's not true! Don't worry about that." Yi Li glanced at her and replied.
Neia also understood why Remedios suddenly became angry. After all, the Church and the Paladins can be said to have the same origin.
Moreover, the headquarters of the church temple is also here in the Holy Kingdom, so it is normal for Remedios, as the leader of the Holy Knights, to care so much about the affairs of the church.
"Haha! They ran away on their own." Eli's next sarcastic words made Remedios explode again.
"What are you talking about!! This is impossible!! The church will not abandon the suffering people..." Remedios yelled again, so scared that Gustavo directly grabbed Remedios.
"Haha... That's just your wishful thinking and you believe in them. The church withdrew on the day the Sorcerer King settled in E-Rantel. They don't care about the people. Fortunately, there are no such groups in E-Rantel.
It would be easier for the church to teach vampires among civilians, and I have never counted on the church anyway." Iri did not take Remedios seriously at all and continued.
"You!!!" Remedios was furious and was pulled aside by Gustavo.
"Your Excellency Yili, I'm very sorry..." Gustavo apologized quickly.
"No need to apologize. I don't have a good impression of the church, so I feel uncomfortable when it comes to the church. I don't blame you. Let's just confirm it with your own eyes." Yi Li said.
"Gustavo, send someone to visit the church temple." Remedios ordered directly, with a tone that did not allow for refutation, and Gustavo could only nod.
"It is best not only to visit the temple, but also to listen to the voices of ordinary people in Elandir," Yili said.
"Did you hear that, Gustavo? Arrange someone to do it." Remedios continued to issue orders without any doubt.
"We will do this...but, Captain...I'm afraid..." Gustavo looked very embarrassed.
Even Neia on the side understood why Gustavo was in trouble. Let’s not talk about church issues. It was difficult to deal with the civilian side alone.
What if the common people of Elandir are really oppressed by the Sorcerer King and seek help from the Holy Knights?
The Paladin, like the church, represents justice and is the incarnation of justice. However, this incarnation of justice refuses to save the suffering civilians? That cannot be justified.
But if you lend a helping hand, wouldn't that indirectly cause the Paladin to fight against the Sorcerer King?
Will this directly anger the Sorcerer King? For this reason, if the Sorcerer King refuses to aid the Holy Kingdom, more civilians of the Holy Kingdom will suffer. When the two sides are placed on the balance, no matter which side is favored, this cannot be called
For justice.
Neia doesn't quite understand the so-called justice of the Paladins. Although she does aspire to become a Paladin, this may be more influenced by her mother who is also a Paladin.
If it were her mother, she should have given her the answer, right? However, my mother may be...not alive now.
"It doesn't matter, just go and see this city and this country with your own eyes!" Yili's words brought Neia back from her thoughts.
With a look of embarrassment, Gustavo called the Paladins who were guarding outside and arranged work. Initially, Neia thought that Gustavo would let her go. After all, it was the humble self that was most suitable for this kind of thing.
.
"Then, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Seeing this, Yi Li, who was left alone, said she wanted to leave.
"Thank you, Your Excellency Yili, Neia is sending Your Excellency Yili." Gustavo turned around and said, this time Gustavo did not try to persuade Yili to stay.
"No need! This is where my home is. You won't get lost, so goodbye!" Yili waved her hand, declined Gustavo's kindness, and went out directly.
Neia had no choice but to follow her out. Although Yili said there was no need to send her off, he still had to send her to the door out of politeness, right?
After seeing off Iri, Neia went upstairs again. When she reached the door, she heard Remedios's roar coming from the room.
"Gustavo, what do you want to do? I don't care who that Yi Li is, but... actually..."
Neia didn't want to go in. Remedios, who was currently in the hot seat, might take it out on her, but if she didn't go, she would be reminded of him, which might make things worse... So Neia could only bite the bullet and knock on the door.
Got out the door.
"Neia? I'm sorry to bother you... follow Yi Li to investigate immediately." As soon as Gustavo saw Neia coming in, he ignored Remedios and said.
"It doesn't matter what she does!" Remedios said very unhappy.
"Captain Remedios, Iri is no ordinary person. I suspect she is more than just a steel-level adventurer. Neia... go quickly!" Gustavo advised Remedios while saying to
Neia said.
"I'll go right away." Although Neia was also very concerned about Gustavo's suspicions about Yili, she could only run downstairs quickly. Yili probably hadn't gone far yet and could still keep up.
Neia, who was chasing after her, saw Yili walking in front at a glance. It was true that Yili had not gone far, but Neia did not intend to pursue her directly, but chose to follow from a distance.
Gustavo's order was to investigate, and he did not ask Neia to establish a good relationship with Yili, so he followed her to see where she went back and who she came into contact with, and then investigated.
Yili walked on the street with a leisurely look, as if she were taking a walk after a meal.
However, Neia discovered that pedestrians passing by Yili, whether they were humans, demihumans, or even the patrolling undead patrol, would bow their heads and salute to Yili.
Yili waved back in a very casual manner. Combined with Gustavo's doubts about Yili's identity, this made Neia think about Yili's identity.
First of all, Yili is a steel-level adventurer. It is normal for this public information to be popular and respected among civilians.
But the Ya people are also very respectful towards Yi Li, and even the undead salute Yi Li, which is strange.
All Neia could think of was that maybe Iri was a local noble or something before the Sorcerer King invaded E-Rantel?
However, this argument is untenable. After all, how can demihumans and undead be respectful to the nobles of a defeated country?
Unless the Iri family has expressed allegiance to the Sorcerer King or something? Thinking about it, this is the only reasonable explanation.
But since she is a noble, why would she let people go to the orphanage to find her?
