Lu Xiao, who was floating above the city, could clearly see that Archbishop Aitri's simple and profound soul was mixed with discordant colors.
The believers who believe in Cain, the god of the earth, are just like their god, with a gentle and slightly lazy personality, which is obviously inconsistent with the passionate emotions shown by Archbishop Aytri at this time.
It can be seen from the reaction of the people in the audience that they were not interested in the Archbishop's impassioned speech, and their eyes looking at the church square were full of confusion and confusion.
Lu Xiao could even faintly hear the whispers blown by the breeze from the ground.
"What happened to the Archbishop? Why are you suddenly so enthusiastic about war?"
"Hey~ rashly invading other countries is definitely not what the God of the Earth wants..."
After hovering in mid-air and observing for a moment, Lu Xiao confirmed that there was also a barrier above Els City to protect against foreign enemies.
Since he decided to fight quickly, Lu Xiao didn't bother to look for loopholes in the barrier.
He took out a hooded cloak from his pocket and put it on top of his tight-fitting armor. Lu Xiao put the hood in order and rushed into the city under the strong wind.
"boom!"
A golden sword energy struck above the barrier, and a sharp alarm suddenly sounded in Els City. The people of Els City who were discussing in low voices looked up in horror.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
After several rounds of collisions, the city's defense barrier, known as the Immovable Wall, was hit by sword energy and cracked.
Archbishop Aitri looked at the sky and squinted his eyes. From the golden light that had not yet dissipated, he saw the cyan wind element surrounding the intruder.
"The Kingdom of Wind is coming! Get ready for battle!"
As the Archbishop deployed his domestic troops on both sides of the battlefield, the defense of Ayres City was extremely empty.
Lu Xiao observed from a high altitude that the total number of garrison troops in Els, the religious capital of Notre Dame, was less than 1,000, and most of them were gathered around the church square to protect the safety of Aitri.
"Click!"
Before the church's paladins could react, Xuanyuan Sword's continuous slashes finally broke through the god-level barrier set up by Cain, the God of Earth.
Even Archbishop Eitri had not thought of this situation.
In the inherent impression of the residents of this world, the only ones who can defeat gods are gods.
"Could it be that..." Archbishop Aitri's heart, agitated by the fanaticism, finally felt a little uneasy: "The wind god Lesona is personally attacking?"
"How is that possible?!"
A middle-aged nun in complicated clothes beside the archbishop asked in surprise: "Aren't the God of Wind and God of Fire both stationed at the frontline military camp on the border of Sharki? How is it possible to bypass the defense zone of the God of Water and enter the territory of the Theocracy?"
The afterimage falling from the sky caused the onlookers near the square to scream in terror. The paladin responsible for maintaining order did not care about the safety of the people, and stood guard next to Aitri with a tight body, ready to respond to the enemy's attack at any time.
The rapidly falling figure suddenly disappeared in mid-air, and everyone including Aitri was stunned at the same time.
"Don't move~"
The leisurely words coming from behind made the hairs on Aitri's body stand on end, and the other party actually slipped behind him without noticing.
"Guard! Guard..."
"No need to shout."
Lu Xiao patted Eitri's face with the sword spine of the Xuanyuan Sword: "I have set up a mirror space nearby. With the strength of your paladins, they won't be able to get in within a few hours."
"you……"
Aitri's eyes were moving wildly, as if he was thinking about how to escape quickly.
"Oh? Interesting."
Lu Xiao saw Aitri's expression through the reflection at the boundary of the mirror space: "I thought you were simply being controlled by your mind, but it seems that you still retain a very complete ability to think."
Aitri asked in shock: "Me? Mind control? Are you kidding! I am..."
"Shh~ shut up."
Lu Xiao stretched out his left hand and grabbed Aitri's head from behind. The gorgeous papal hat slipped off his head, revealing a head of short flaxen hair.
"Uh...ahhhhhh!"
The purifying power that Lu Xiao injected into Eitri's soul clashed with the shit-yellow spiritual fragments adsorbed in his soul.
The source of pollution is gradually swallowed up by the pure and colorless power of purification, but the process... I'm afraid it won't be very pleasant.
Eitri felt very bad at this moment, as if someone was cutting his soul bit by bit with a dull knife.
As the pollution was purified, Aitri's thinking circuit gradually recovered, and he finally recalled his recent abnormal state.
Gritting his teeth to endure the pain from his soul, Aitri tried hard to control his body and not make any counterattack.
"Done."
After Lu Xiao withdrew his left hand, Aitri, who was covered in cold sweat, immediately half-knelt on the ground without any strength.
"Why do I make those weird decisions?"
After regaining consciousness, Aitri looked at his hands blankly. His memory of the period when he was controlled was not lost.
The pollution left by the unknown existence in his soul only served to mislead and catalyze, amplifying the thoughts buried deep in Aitri's heart.
"The fly doesn't bite the egg, so you should reflect on why you fell prey to it so easily."
Lu Xiao dispersed the surrounding mirror space, and the priests, nuns and paladins, who were frightened and angry, immediately swarmed up and protected Aitri, who was half kneeling on the ground, behind him, trying to block Lu Xiao's further attacks with his own body.
But Lu Xiao had no intention of attacking at this time. He shrugged and took two steps back.
"etc."
Aitri put his right hand on his forehead and stood up with the support of the nuns and paladin: "You guys step back first, this person... no, this god is here to help me and our country."
"God?!"
As the archbishop closest to the earth god Cain and the spokesperson of the gods, Aitri knows the characteristics of the gods better than anyone else. He is sure that this strange visitor who suddenly broke into the city of Els is a god.
The church members, whose minds were filled with questions, were at a loss for a while.
The gods of wind and fire are both female, and only the gods of water and earth are male gods.
Water God Elyan will definitely not be able to leave. He will stay in his own country to guard against the invading Lesona and Yadwiga, so...
"My God?!"
"No, it's not."
The pain from his soul gradually eased, and Aitri waved his hand to everyone around him to move away.
"He is not any of the four gods. Please step aside and let me entertain this gentleman in the name of my god."
…
"So, you don't know how you were contaminated?"
Aitri nodded with a wry smile: "Ashamed, but that's the truth."
"It should have been caused by that sudden serious illness, but I can't figure out where the source of the illness came from."
In the archbishop's private courtyard deep inside the cathedral, Lu Xiao touched his chin thoughtfully.
There is no need for Aitri to lie at this time, which means that the other party has let him fall into the trap without knowing it.
‘Is pollution beyond mortal perception really a threat to the realm of gods?’
