The mage arrives

Reynas took a deep breath, and pulled out Daybreak.The clang and clear sound of the blade when it was unsheathed, coupled with the sharp cold light emitted from the blade, made the surrounding audience feel goosebumps.Immediately afterwards, the female holy warrior took a step first, and under the guidance of the light of dawn emanating from her sword, the big dragon behind her slowly advanced, preparing to walk along the avenue covered with red carpet to the temple on the mountain .

Previously, teams of nobles and high-ranking clergymen had spearheaded the hiking ritual.Now this team starting from Platinum Square and going up to Temple Hill has a relatively heavy performance and display nature, and it is also the most important program in the eyes of the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people who came to watch the ceremony today in Fleuris City.

Although the atmosphere of Freiris City is relatively xenophobic, Reinas is not only a paladin of the Dawn Temple, but also the holder of the sword "Dawn" bestowed by the goddess.More importantly, she is very beautiful, and her appearance and temperament are very consistent with the image of a female apostle fighting for the gods in the eyes of ordinary people-pure, powerful, and beautiful.

Therefore, when Ben Anisa proposed to let Reinas take on a very important role in the ceremony—the sword-bearer ceremony officer, there was no objection.Although Renas felt that it was inappropriate to show her face in such a way, it completely ran counter to the low-key investigation plan she had set when she first came to Frearis City.But after discussing with Gordon, she still agreed.

Wearing a silver armor with flying blond hair, the heroic Reinas walked in the front, and behind her, there were two girls who were not inferior to her in terms of beauty, and had a more prominent femininity.

One of them was wearing a white and light gauze robe, holding a golden scale in one hand, wearing a golden crown on his head, and had a solemn face.She is the ceremonial person representing the temple of Erasis, and the scales in her hand represent law and justice.The golden crown on the head is engraved with the pattern of quill and paper, which symbolizes civilization.

The other girl is even more eye-catching.It's not that she's more beautiful than Reynath or the Rider of the Law God, but because of the way she walks.A pair of dragon wings suddenly spread out on the back, and those platinum flakes on the long skirt.Also like dragon scales, it shone brilliantly in the morning sun.

When Reinas first saw the young lady of the Platinum Temple, she was also taken aback by the dragon's wings that the other party suddenly opened.She didn't expect that the Platinum Temple would find a girl born of a golden dragon to take up the post of ceremonial ceremonialist.And later Miss Paladin also found out that the other girl who represented the god of law and civilization also had an extraordinary background.These two people are said to have been specially selected.To train important candidates who will serve as saints in the future.

In various countries in the Northern Continent—including Northengadry, which has very different customs and systems, and is Freyton's sworn enemy, the saint does not belong to the fixed position of each church.This is an honorary title, and it is often necessary to be affirmed by the gods the church serves before the person concerned can receive this title.

Canonization is a major event, and the word "sacred" cannot be abused at will.Even Bishop Ben Anisa, who is morally impeccable, is only called a saint by the people of Fleuris City in private. This is a compliment to his noble character, not a real title.

And Platinum Temple and Erasis Temple.It seems very strange that it is going to be a big fanfare and serious about cultivating a saint.and.The Temple of Dawn, which is as famous as these two temples in Ferreton, is also planning to cultivate its own saintess. Even before, the cardinal approached Lenas and asked her if she would like to become a saintess of the Temple of Dawn.

Of course, Reinas refused.

However, the abnormal behavior of the three major temples was obviously approved by the gods themselves.Reinas also heard a few words from Titus, the goddess of blood she was loyal to, and knew that it was because of major events that affected the entire main material world that many gods had various frequent actions.

This team is all composed of handsome men and beautiful women.Accompanied by hymns that can purify the soul, under the contrast of various holy lights and spell light and shadow effects.All the way from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and then into the main temple.That is where Gordon and many other nobles are located.

After a series of complex ceremonies such as sprinkling the soil of mourning, baptism with holy salt, flowers and clear water, the whole ceremony finally came to an end.Next, watch the opera "Anis the Martyr" performed by the Fleuris Xiacao Art Troupe, and then the joint representative of the church in Fleuris City - usually the benevolent and noble Bishop Ben Anisa - presides over the prayer .In the end, the representatives of the nobles from the city of Fleuris gave a concluding speech, and the collective activities of the Requiem Day were considered to be over.

Afterwards, both nobles and commoners returned home and had a simple lunch consisting of water and black bread. In the afternoon, they held requiem blessing activities at home until midnight.

At this time, Gordon had no interest in the upcoming opera, which was said to be produced by several famous opera masters.Venia, who was participating in this kind of activity for the first time beside him, was very interested, but he had already been distracted, and focused most of his attention on Ben Anisa who was sitting in the first row.

Gordon already knew some of the bishop's secrets, but not enough.Ben Anissa's attitude towards Renas, who is exactly like the woman he loves deeply, is a very important piece of information for him.

Although this cunning and prudent bishop's identity has been exposed, he has not been seriously affected.According to Mr. Langdon, the person he sent to monitor Ben Anisa reported that Mr. Bishop still lived a very regular and simple life these two days, taking it easy, as if nothing had happened.

If the other party panicked and prepared to flee, or seek help from his accomplices, Gordon could also use this to follow the clues and get more information about the Death Will sect.But the other party was so calm and calm, which made Gordon feel helpless.It seems that this Mr. Bishop is very smart, he knows that the initiative is in his hands, as long as he does not act without authorization, he will not show his flaws.

When everything is ready for the Death One Will Sect and the Huiyang Festival comes, everything will be irreversible.The cult's conspiracy will be successfully completed, and Gordon can only swallow the bitter fruit of failure.

"What a difficult guy to deal with." Gordon said in his heart.He felt that he had stood still and used Bishop Ben Anisa as a bait.Then the plan to find out the main body of the cult has failed.Now two days of precious time were wasted in vain, and not only did I not gain anything.And after missing the best time, the bishop might have destroyed the necromancer magic research room in his hut.

There is no hard evidence.Even if you want to change the plan now and arrest the bishop first, it is impossible to do so.

But although he was annoyed, Gordon was not discouraged.After all, he knew very well that he was far more than himself the only smart person in the world.Occasional deflation is completely normal.The thing to do now is to find another opportunity to let Ben Anissa show his feet.

Although the performance on the stage is a serious opera full of religious atmosphere and spirit of sacrifice, it is worthy of being a work jointly created by several famous drama masters.Whether it's the performances of the actors, the lines, the scenery, or the various magical sound and light effects, they are all excellent, making the nobles who are accustomed to the world enjoy watching it with gusto.

Gordon, on the other hand, paid attention to Ben Anissa as always.

As an important guest of this ceremony and the holder of Daybreak, Renas also sat in the first row, a seat away from Mr. Bishop Anisa.However, after careful observation, Gordon found that this man gave the impression of restraint in daily life.The Saint Bishop, who has never shown any interest in the opposite sex, would secretly glance at Renas' side face every once in a while.

His movements are careful and subtle.People who don't concentrate and observe carefully like Gordon will never notice.

"Sure enough...Although Renas and Ben Anisa's lovers are not the same person, but because they look exactly the same, the bishop still can't restrain his emotions. It's human nature to see things and think about others." Gordon secretly.

Gordon was almost like a zoologist who was concentrating on Bishop Ben Anisa in order to write an observation report on rare animals.

At this moment, the opera on the stage also came to an end.In order to save the city of Freris, the martyr Arnis is ready to sacrifice himself.The actor playing the leading role sang in a strong and elegant tenor voice: "Ah, to save this suffering city. A sinful city, but a city I love. I am willing to sacrifice myself..."

On the stage, the martyr Anis took off his crude linen robe.A body full of scars was exposed.The following plot should be a dazzling holy light blooming from his body, destroying the demons besieging the city and saving the city.But when the actor took off his robe, the holy light did not appear, but was replaced by a crimson bloody light.

The actor of Arnis the Martyr swells like a balloon in blood.

Bang!

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the poor protagonist's flesh and blood flew all over him, and he was blown to pieces.

What's even more frightening is that the blood and flesh of the deceased seemed to be highly corrosive. The actors who were killed by the fish on the stage began to bubble and pus immediately after being stained with the remains of the dead, and their muscles and skin quickly corroded and liquefied. , and finally melted and flowed onto the stage floor.

After a while of silence, the audience recovered from the shock of this terrible scene.

There were screams, roars, and noisy footsteps one after another.The originally sacred and solemn stage has now become a bloody Shura field.

Although Gordon had been focusing on Ben Anisa, he was one of the first people in the temple to react to such an emergency.

He keenly sensed the scattered evil energy in the air, and immediately told Vinya beside him, "Be careful, it's the Death Will sect. Let's leave here first."

"Miss Reinhardt, pay attention!"

Bishop Anisa's voice suddenly sounded in Gordon's ear.He followed the sound and found that Mr. Bishop was looking at Renas with concern, and raised the holy emblem, blessing her with several protective and buffing spells.

If it wasn't for the chaos at the scene and everyone being panicked by the sudden body explosion, I'm afraid Mr. Bishop's special concern for Miss Paladin will cause a scandal that will sweep the city tomorrow.

"It seems that Ben Anisa does have special feelings for Reinas that are far beyond the normal situation, otherwise he wouldn't be so gaffe." Gordon made a conclusion in his heart.

At this time, the magnificent and brightly colored glazed windows on the dome of the temple suddenly burst one after another, and the red, green and green colored glass fragments fell down in a gust of rain, causing even greater chaos.Immediately afterwards, one after another assassins in red and gray burqas descended from the sky through the broken windows.

Shining knives in their hands.It is as eye-catching as a death star in mid-air.

Entering the temple to participate in the ceremony is not allowed to be accompanied by guards.Therefore, those nobles who hold the power of the entire city of Freiris are as vulnerable as chickens at this moment.It can only be slaughtered by those assassins.Even if occasionally a few nobles with good martial arts skills or spells counterattacked, they couldn't turn the situation around.

"Let's go." Gordon blessed himself and Vinia with protection spells and acceleration spells.Prepare to flee immediately from this soon-to-be-turned-slaughterhouse.

Due to the divine power of Mephisto in her body and the dragon power "infused" by Gordon, Viniya can no longer use the power of nature to perform druid magic, and she can't even transform arrive.Compared with ordinary people, she may just have a stronger physical fitness now.

In this chaotic situation, what Gordon had to do was to ensure her safety first.

As soon as the two got up, Gordon heard a familiar scream through the chaotic crowd.He looked up.It was found that an assassin was pulling out a bloody dagger from the belly of Jier's cousin Anna, and then approached Jier's cousin Raymond, whose face was as white as paper.

Seeing her cousin being attacked, Ji'er screamed in fright, but quickly calmed down.After all, she has also experienced life and death crises and many battles. She is not a noble lady who can only wait to be rescued by knights.

The girl pursed her lips, staring at the assassin who seriously injured her cousin.Her heart was pounding, and the screams and shouts of other people seemed to have disappeared.Suddenly, there seemed to be an ethereal wind blowing around her, causing her dress and hair to flutter.

The source energy began to gather rapidly.

When the assassin saw the beautiful blonde girl in front of him, circles of arcane halos suddenly appeared around her.I was taken aback for a moment.When the other party pulled out a long sword from the dimension bag, he came back to his senses.

"Mystery knight?"

The assassin didn't expect that he would be able to meet such a rare profession of "both magic and martial arts", and she was also an unbelievably beautiful woman.Suddenly a cruel smile appeared.

"Haha, destroying rare and beautiful things is exactly my specialty. I hate a high-status woman like you the most!"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Er's long sword slashed straight at his face.The assassin didn't expect that the opponent had a strength that didn't match his age. This sword was fast and hard, and he couldn't dodge it at all.

No way, the assassin could only raise two daggers, hoping to block the long sword.

But the knight sword in Jier's hand was from when she was in Clear Water City.Forged by Master Dwemer Iron River himself, the sword is made of dragon steel.Jill came home later.Let the teacher Savi Langdon enchant it with several spells with cold attributes, and name it "Northern Memory".To commemorate the trip that changed my outlook on life.

Even if such a sword is in the Phoenix family's treasury, it can be regarded as a top-grade sword, and it is naturally extremely sharp.Even if Jier didn't activate the spells on the sword and the additional cold attribute damage, it was enough to treat the assassin's two ordinary iron daggers as nothing.

Click!

The two daggers were pierced by Ji Er's long sword at the same moment, and then the assassin's cheek became a victim of the memory of the Northland.

The face scarf that had been split in half slipped off the assassin's face, and Jier kicked the dead body away to see the assassin's appearance clearly.The purple-black skin and pointed ears undoubtedly showed his identity.

"Dark Elf?"

"Cousin, be careful!"

At this moment, Earl Raymond's voice came.

Ji'er looked up, only to find that two more attackers surrounded her, pinching her from left to right.And they were not in a hurry to launch an attack, but first took out a bottle from their belts, and then slammed it on the ground.

The black-green liquid inside spread rapidly on the floor, making a rapid sizzling sound, and began to emit a large number of bubbles.

The blond lady inhaled a bit of pungent smoke, and suddenly felt dizzy, and her strength quickly drained from her body.The various buff spells blessed on the body also began to disappear.

"Oops!" she said inwardly.

At this time, Gordon not far away also completed the spell.He stretched out his hand, and an invisible giant hand built with force field energy also flew out, and then grabbed Jier's slender waist.

This is the hand of force field he used after the spell was enhanced.This is a three-ring spell, which can be regarded as an enhanced version of the mage's hand.Although the spell level is not high, it took a few more seconds due to the use of metamagic feats.This spell can move objects up to [-] kilograms—including living creatures and magic items—over long distances.After being strengthened by spells, objects of [-] kilograms can be moved.

If Jill was fat, or in armor, she'd be overweight.

Fortunately, the slender young lady of the Phoenix family who was wearing a skirt was easily grabbed by Gordon's big magic hand, and then dragged to her side at once, escaped from the danger of being besieged.

"Miss, although you have improved compared to before, you still have too little combat experience. In this kind of melee, you not only have to deal with the enemies in front of you, but also have to pay attention to the movement around you at all times, otherwise you will fall into the trap if you are not careful. besieged."

"I... I want you to take care of it!" Although Ji Er refused to admit defeat, when Gordon took her hand, she refused to let go.Her big wine red eyes looked at the mage, "What are we doing now?"

"Of course I ran away. Make sure you and Vinia are safe first, and then deal with this chaos."

"What about Lenas?"

"She's fine." After speaking, Gordon also used the Instantaneous Specialty to bless Jier with protection and acceleration spells, and then ran towards the gate.
