Chapter 14 Letter from the Royal Capital
"A...letter from the capital?" The saint could not help frowning when she heard Merici's words.

When she came here and established Cold Winter Abbey, she never revealed her identity.

Just wearing a mask and leading the people in the monastery as a "saint".

A letter from a place like the Royal Capital...

Could it be?

Thinking of this, the saint no longer hesitated, and raised her hand to release the holy light pattern.

Sure enough, a similar but slightly different pattern lit up on the cover of the letter.

"My lord, should I open this letter?" Meric looked at the process which was completely different from the usual process of receiving letters. He was a little worried about the safety of the saint, so he couldn't help suggesting, "Where is the letter in the capital?" Letter from..."

In the end, his face could not hide his worry.

"No, Meric, it's safe." The saint shook her head lightly, and put the pattern of holy light in her hand close to the pattern on the cover.

The two patterns gradually merged and finally merged into one.

The cover of the letter was quietly opened.

Taking out the letter paper, the saint quickly glanced at one line.

Then she fell silent.

In this strange silence, Meric only felt that the pressure in the room was increasing, and even his Sequence Eight ability user began to need to work hard to persevere.

After an unknown amount of time, the saint finally put down the letter paper.

A ray of light emerged from her hand, and the letter paper on the desk gradually melted in that ray until it became invisible.

"Merich, do you still remember the day when the rebels came to pick them up... the guards who came to the monastery?" After the letter paper had completely melted, the saint finally spoke again.

However, this time she stood up and turned her back to Meric, her tone was extremely cold.

"Yes." Meric immediately responded, "Miss Saint is worried...that guard will cause trouble? But judging from his behavior at the time, he probably doesn't want to disturb the monastery anymore, right?"

"He didn't want to harass the monastery anymore, but he reported the matter." The saint snorted coldly, "The result is that a certain cardinal in the holy church is interested in the cold winter monastery..."

"This..." Meric's expression turned ugly.

Cold Winter Monastery, although it does have the strength of a monastery, it is more of a transit point for transporting those with persecuted abilities.

Meric only knew that there was a cardinal behind his Lady Saint, so these things could go smoothly.

And once this kind of thing is intervened by another cardinal and made public, it is absolutely impossible to continue.

But if that's the case, Cold Winter Abbey, everyone here, and Lady Saint...

Meric didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

"Do your business first, Meric." The saint turned around and looked at him with a very calm tone, "Don't let yourself lose your cool because of these things... I will find a way."

Meric took a deep breath and replied, "Yes."

After speaking, he saluted lightly, turned and walked out of the room.

Seeing Meric walk out of the room and the saint raised her hand to seal the door again, her complexion became even more ugly in an instant.

She only told Meric just now that a certain cardinal had become interested in Cold Winter Abbey.

But in fact, this is an inevitable faction dispute, it's just a matter of time.

Because she is Oliveira, Oliveira who ascended to the position of cardinal with the strength of Sequence Seven.

After Xia En disappeared that year, the adventure team with him as the core quickly disbanded.

Without the support of the team, it would be almost impossible for Oliveira to secure his position as a cardinal.

But to find Xia En's whereabouts, no matter the power of the holy religion or the position of cardinal, they are all indispensable.

So, at that time, she made a decisive decision, eliminated all interference, devoted herself to comprehending the holy light, sharpened herself, and used half a year to get herself promoted.

She became the Sequence Six "Stalker" of the "God" pathway, and she is also the youngest "Stalker" in the Holy Cult.

Strictly speaking, the path of "God" is half a rank higher than the other two paths of "Brightness" and "Righteousness" mastered by the holy religion.

Therefore, under the dual effects of channels and strength, she barely secured her position as a cardinal, and possessed the capital to have a positive dialogue with other people.

However, in the king's capital, the struggle for power and profit in the holy religion is happening all the time.

There is never a shortage of coveted people for the position of Cardinal.

Among the cardinals, there is even more competition for power.

And she has no backing, no faction brand, and she has no strength beyond other cardinals.

Therefore, after the short-term temptation to win over was fruitless, some people immediately began to move.

Conspiracies were fermenting and disputes were spreading. Faced with such a situation, Oliveira resolutely chose to leave the capital in the name of secretly investigating the situation in the northern border.

Of course, this is to keep her away from the vortex, and then use all her energy to find Xia En.

For this reason, she concealed her name, put on the mask that could change the breath, came to the northern border, established the Cold Winter Monastery, and began to collect information related to Xia En.

One year, two years, three years.

She seldom returns to the capital, but actions against her are still approaching.

Her time is running out.

But back to the moment, once a cardinal becomes interested in Cold Winter Abbey, it is only a matter of time before her identity is revealed.

The saint took a deep breath and walked to the door of the inner room.

He wanted to open the door, but hesitated.

The action against her is still secondary, and she is more worried about getting Xia En involved in these matters.

When she was attacked by the black crystal cat earlier, although she couldn't move, she saw all of Xia En's movements.

The familiar movement of being possessed by a bullet, and the heroic posture of firing three guns almost at the same time, although she was swayed, her doubts and worries further grew.

You know, she was able to discover Xia En at that time because she noticed the appearance of spiritual energy fluctuations.

The patrol came because of this, and they will definitely report this matter.

Once the other cardinals noticed Xia En because of this, the problem became quite difficult-people with low-sequence abilities on the life path generally couldn't fight.

And the "sick person" of Sequence Nine is even weaker, even struggling to beat ordinary people.

So, how did a "sick person" like Xia En manage to use a steam rifle and fire three shots in a row, and still withstand such a huge body load?
According to common sense, this kind of thing, at least, must be a "solitary fighter" like Meric to fully bear it.

Such an astonishing move, no matter which cardinal discovered it, would never let it go easily.

And Oliveira... doesn't think she can protect Shane well now, let alone see Shane become a victim of someone's curiosity.
