Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 197 Assassination
"The Sword of Angelic Virtue... a divine weapon that requires the sacrifice of seven saints to be forged..."

After listening to Dong Luo's introduction, Richard and Iluna both had strange expressions.

Dong Luo continued:

“We, the Saints of Virtue, are all blessed with the power of virtue, and our strength increases much faster than that of normal nuns.

But also because of the power of virtue, our practice time is limited.

If we are unable to break through to the level of demigod before the age of 40, we will gradually lose the protection of the power of virtue, our strength will decline rapidly, and we will become mortals in about two years.

According to the normal process, we will record our experience of cultivation in the rules of virtue in the last two years of our power, and let virtue pass on these experiences to the next saint.

This is called passing on the torch.”

As Dong Luo spoke, he raised his right hand and said softly: "However, when I became a saint, I did not get the inheritance that I should have received.

The previous Saint of Chastity died of old age, but she did not leave any inheritance. This can only mean one thing, that she chose another path at the end of her life, which is to become an angel.

After the age of 40, if our Virtue Saint feels that there is no hope of breaking through to become a demigod, she can choose to transform into an angel and gain combat capabilities close to those of a demigod.

Of course, that also meant that the memories and experiences preserved in the rules by the saints of all generations would be burned completely.

We saints attach great importance to inheritance. To us, inheritance is far more important than our own lives.

If there is no special reason, we will not become angels. I suspect that the previous chaste saint was persecuted in some way by the Inquisition and became an angel.

It is even possible that the Inquisition has mastered the method of forcing our saint to be sacrificed.

This time I went to the Inquisition, on the one hand, I was indeed wrong first, and on the other hand, I wanted to test the Inquisition's attitude towards me. The result of the test made me very pessimistic.

I could clearly feel that the judges of the Inquisition had no patience with me when they interrogated me, and they were clearly forcing me to confess. If it was in the past when the saint's status was high, those judges would never dare to do this.

This proved that my guess was correct. For some reason, in the eyes of those judges, the halo of our saint had faded. After confirming this, I tried to notify other saints to come and save me. "

Richard and Iluna looked at each other and saw the dark clouds in each other's eyes.

Since ancient times, the Seven Saints have been an important part of the power of the Holy See.

The Virtue Saint who could quickly become a legend or even a demigod was always a huge headache for the Silver City-State.

There is no need to say much about the strength of the Seven Saints. Each Saint is often surrounded by many followers who worship and believe in them. It can even be said that a Saint is a small force.

If what Dong Luo said was true, it meant that the internal conflict between the Saint and the Holy See had escalated to an irreconcilable point.

Between the two behemoths, the Silver City and the Holy See, any problem on either side would mean that the other side would take action.

With such a background, their mission to help Dong Luo this time has a more complicated political nature, and the difficulty of the mission may be much higher than they imagined.

Richard rubbed his brows and asked, "Lolo, I roughly understand what you said.

According to what you said, in order to synthesize the Angel's Sword of Virtue, you need to gather 7 Virtue Saints.

What is the attitude of the other six Virtuous Saints besides you towards this matter?"

"The other six?" Dong Luo tilted his head and said, "There are only five others now. The successor of the virtue of diligence has not appeared yet. It is also possible that he has appeared, but we have not found him yet.

Including me, the six saints have made it clear that we will never support the Holy See's sword-forging action and will gather all our strength to fight to the end.

Although we are now at a disadvantage in overall strength, the enemy cannot be a monolithic entity and there will definitely be various voices.

As long as we resist firmly enough, they will definitely give in and compromise."

Richard took a deep breath and said, "If they don't compromise, or if their compromise is not firm enough, are you going to join the Silver City-State?"

"There is such a plan." Dong Luo covered his mouth and said, "But the greater possibility is to build the Holy Lady Kingdom with the help of the Silver City-State to compete with the Holy See."

Iluna took a breath of cold air.

What a big deal! No wonder even the petty-minded Xingge and Xingyuehui put aside their hatred for Dongluo and chose to protect her.

If the Holy See is really split, then the Silver City-State will become the only giant in the Asia-Sha world, and all the countries in the Asia-Sha world will have to rely on the Silver City-State to survive. At that time, the Silver City-State will not have to waste any effort and will get unimaginable huge benefits, easily becoming the center of the entire Asia-Sha world.

The most rare thing is that this method of victory is not based on war. It is much easier for the Silver City-State to defeat the Holy See in this way than to confront it head-on.

At this moment, Yiluna looked at Dongluo with a serious look in her eyes. She pushed Richard behind her and squeezed in between Richard and Dongluo.

"Richard, get out of the way. You don't have the ability to protect the little saint. If I get pregnant while protecting you, I won't be able to explain it. I have to do this job."

Iluna came close to Dong Luo, hugged Dong Luo's shoulders, pulled Dong Luo into her arms, and said in a deep and charming voice:

"Little Saint, please sleep with your sister at night, okay? Richard has his strengths, and your sister has her own skills.

He has things he can teach you, and I also have my own tricks to help you, I promise I won’t lose to him.”

"Sister, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand." Dong Luo covered his face with his hands, his face was a little red and hot, obviously he understood. This made Yiluna laugh in her heart.

It seems that the Saint of Chastity is not as chaste as she thought, and she knows what she should know.

Iluna glared at Richard with a teasing look, thinking that this bastard must have taught him. The Saint had already developed it.

"Executive, do you really want a personal bodyguard? Then I'll leave this task to you." Richard was happy.

"No. Teacher Li, you can't leave." Dong Luo saw that Richard was about to give up, and suddenly reached out to push Yiluna away.

"The court wants to arrest you as evidence to convict me. Teacher Li, you must stay with me. We cannot be separated."

Richard:?

"What incriminating evidence? Why is it related to me?"

"Ah..." Dong Luo quickly covered his mouth as if he had let something slip, shook his head vigorously, and then said firmly: "In short, Teacher Li, you can't leave, you must stay with me."

At this point, even Iluna noticed the problem. She stood between Richard and Dong Luo and asked sternly, "Little Saint, you are our honored guest now, and I need to ensure your safety, that's right.

But Richard is also my team member, and his safety is as important to me as yours.

You must know something that we don't know. Could you please tell me what you know? If you don't, I can only apply to the higher-ups to remove Richard from the protection team and protect him alone."

"Please don't be like this. If you don't stay with me, Teacher Li will be in danger." Dong Luo felt very aggrieved and uneasy.

She bit her lip and said, "This involves the secret of the stigmata shackles, which should have been kept strictly confidential. I hope the Dragon of Light can forgive my sins.

Mage Xiao Li is a stigma mage, and there are stigma shackles on his magic book.

The Stigmata Shackles are a powerful special skill that can only be released after a powerful angel sacrifices himself, and can completely seal the mage's spellcasting ability.

After releasing the stigmata shackles, this angel seemed to be dead, but in fact he was not completely dead. Instead, he turned into rules and merged with Teacher Xiao Li's magic book.

All angels are warriors and servants of the Dragon of Light.

If Master Li is brought back to the cathedral and the Pope prays to the Dragon of Light, the angel will be able to leave from Master Li's magic book.

This requires a very complicated and expensive ceremony. Teacher Xiao Li is not a real stigma mage, but just by chance he helped the Lord of Xingge City to avoid disaster.

Originally, he was not qualified to perform the unsealing ceremony due to his identity, and the church would not waste so many resources on Teacher Xiao Li.

But this matter involves me.

The crime the Inquisition wanted to charge me with was infidelity.

They claimed that I had used some method to influence the angel who was carrying out the sealing mission, causing that angel to let the Lord of Xingge City go and seal Teacher Xiao Li.

If their claim was true, then I would have committed multiple serious crimes, such as murdering angels, treason, and apostasy, and it would be reasonable for them to try me. But the people of the Inquisition had no evidence to prove their claim.

But if Teacher Li was taken to the cathedral, it would be different. Only the Pope could unlock the shackles of the stigmata, and only the Pope could communicate with the angels who became the shackles of the stigmata.

If Teacher Li is freed from his chains, my life will be in the hands of the Pope. He can say whatever he wants, and I will have no way to defend myself.

Even our saint's righteous act of resisting the atrocities of the Holy See will be tarnished, which will lead many neutrals who are wavering between us and the Holy See to the Holy See.

If you want to completely solve the problem, there is a simple way. "

Dong Luo paused here.

Iluna reacted immediately.

"Silence him. As long as Richard is killed, the trouble will be gone forever."

"Yes." Dong Luo nodded.

"But I don't want Teacher Xiao Li to be killed because of me. I can only raise Teacher Xiao Li and I to the same level of protection so that the Inquisition can't easily succeed.

That’s why I came to Silver City to look for Teacher Xiao Li as soon as I got out of trouble.”

"I see." Iluna rubbed her brows. "It turns out that it's not Richard who protects you, but you who protect Richard. I really thought Richard had some mysterious elder following him secretly."

Iluna wiped her chin and shook her head.

"It's really hard to apply for separate protection. With Richard's status, there is no guarantee that there won't be someone who wants to eliminate the trouble forever. But Richard doesn't have the ability to protect himself.

All right, then you two can stick together."

Iluna patted Richard's thigh and scolded him with a smile: "Richard, you kid. You blocked the stigmata shackles and made so many big shots care about you. You really did a good job."

Richard smiled bitterly and shook his head without saying anything.

"Get going, let's switch seats." Seeing Iluna making a fuss about switching seats with Richard again, Macedonia, who was driving, suddenly said, "No need to switch, we're here."

Richard was stunned and looked out the window. He didn't know when the steam train had stopped in front of a magnificent castle.

The white castle stands majestically, like a bright pearl inlaid on the emerald plain. Under the dazzling sunlight, the castle's outer wall shines with dazzling light, as if it is carefully carved from countless diamonds. Outside the castle, there is a spacious courtyard. In the center of the courtyard is a fountain, with water jets spraying high, and the splashing water sparkles with colorful light in the sun. The courtyard is surrounded by various beautiful flowers and green trees, with the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds.

Iluna whistled and said playfully:
"White Rose Villa.

It used to be the property of a big family, but all of their family members were arrested for treason and all their property was confiscated. Now this place belongs to us.

I was recuperating here before, and I asked a legend from the capital who was good at curses and formations to help me set up the magic circle of the villa. Don't worry, little saint, you will be as safe living here as in the city lord's mansion."

Richard shook his head in his heart. According to him, it was still not safe enough. If it was really safe, it would have to be Saint Laurent Prison. As long as it wasn't the demigod himself, he could suppress any monster.

However, Richard would not suggest taking Dong Luo to Saint Laurent Prison, as that would only bring trouble to himself.

Click!

Seeing Macedonia and Zach push open the door and get out of the car, Richard also opened the door. But the moment he stepped out of the car door, a piercing pain strangely appeared in the depths of his mind.

Crisis warning!

With almost no hesitation, Richard entered the phase form the moment he felt the warning!
Just as he entered the phase form, a barely audible hum sounded in his ears.

"Ok?"

Boom! A pair of hands made of holy light fell from the sky and grabbed Richard fiercely.

But the dazzling holy light palm exploded on Richard's body and failed to grab Richard into the sky.

Richard, who had luckily escaped the disaster, immediately shouted to the sky, his voice reaching the sky!

"There's an attack!!"
