Sir, this is not how bad women are used.

"Perhaps the lord has changed. The new lord lacks the courage and can't control such a sin-ridden place."

"No, it is more likely that the church's prestige is so well-known that those who do evil in secret dare not challenge the church's bottom line."

The companions were proud of this speculation and felt it was natural, but the leading nun said nothing and walked silently in front of the team.

The name of the elder sister is Josephine. Because of her noble and beautiful appearance and her reliable ability as a priest, she is also praised as "the angel of healing".

In the past, Josephine was also a member of the combat nuns. During a mission, she developed a hidden illness that affected her combat effectiveness. She decisively switched to become a priest who healed her companions, and is now an upper-level A-class priest.

It can be said that Josephine is the most capable fighter among the pastoral sisters, and has the largest amount of milk among the combat sisters.

She had known Therese for a long time and was only five or six years older than her. Because there was a tradition of "old leading new" in the church, Josephine was Therese's guide and watched her grow up step by step.

Josephine's experience of being injured and her inability to explore the pinnacle of the path of combat nun made her have different expectations for this younger generation.

Theresa seemed to be the one who took over her mantle.

Now that she was in trouble, Josephine was the most anxious person. She did not join her companions in rejoicing over the glory of the church, but just walked forward with deep thoughts.

Suddenly, the elder sister remembered something she had forgotten, and she asked:

"By the way, have you received a reply from the nun in Paradise City?"

Normally, when the church sends a message, the nuns who receive the letter will send the carrier pigeon back to indicate that they have received the letter, but this time they did not do so.

Considering the turbulent situation mentioned by the sentinels just now, this anomaly is indeed alarming.

"It seems not." The nuns confirmed with each other and shook their heads.

Didn't receive a reply? The nun who came to absorb the aura of miracles would not be negligent in such matters.

Josephine made a prompt decision and said without hesitation:

"We are not far from Paradise City now. I will speed up and check the situation first. You guys follow me later."

The companion wanted to say something, but Josephine had already changed into the team's fastest horse. With the high slit of her nun's robe and her two black silk legs lightly clamped on the horse's belly, she galloped towards the border castle.

*

As if it had been anticipated, when Josephine arrived near Paradise City, someone was already waiting there.

In front of the brand new city gate, there was a table where a noble lord who looked like a pretty girl was sitting, accompanied by several beautiful girls.

It's like afternoon tea is a priority

91

.

While Josephine was looking at the other person, Chu Yan was also looking at the guest.

The black and white nun's uniform tells of the power behind her. Her long, beautiful light blonde hair falls down smoothly, and her orchid-purple eyes are indifferent and serious. Although she has a beautiful face, her expression reminds people of those rigid and strict teachers.

She was riding on a horse, with a cross necklace hanging in front of her towering chest, as if silently explaining:

The power of faith transcends (eight).

Chu Yan simply gave his name and asked from a distance:

"Why are you the only one here? It was you who asked me to do something and add more rooms for you?"

Feeling Chu Yan's frivolity and disrespect towards the church, and seeing him getting so close to the depraved and filthy taboo-holders, the elder nun's expression darkened.

Josephine's beautiful face revealed her unconcealed contempt and disgust. As the lord who guards the taboos, he actually went along with them!

She didn't even feel like introducing herself, and immediately asked:

"Lord, what have you done to those nuns? You have intercepted the church's pigeons, right? This is tantamount to a provocation and declaration of war against the church. Does the Longyan family know that their own people are so arrogant?"

Chu Yan smiled, took out the letter and shook it, saying:

"As for arrogance, you should learn from the church. Is it because the Dragonborn have helped you too much that the church takes it for granted that the Dragonborn have to obey your orders?

Look at the choice of words and sentences, it's like I'm giving orders to a subordinate.

You have been stealing the power of the magic circle and threatening the safety of this place, and now you have the nerve to make trouble?"

Xia Nuoya stood silently beside Chu Yan, just waiting for his order to "go big". Similarly, the taboo people living in the castle had already colluded with him and were willing to support him with an attack.

But Janet's character could not remain calm. She had an expectant smile on her face the whole time, wanting to see the church suffer a setback and compromise.

At this time, she said, "Why don't we return the pigeon to this nun?"

Chu Yan looked at Janet in confusion. Wasn’t the carrier pigeon eaten? Why was it still there?

Just as he was wondering, Janet threw out a plate of roasted pigeon bones, and the plate landed steadily at Josephine's feet.

"..."

This provocation and hatred is too harsh!

Even Chu Yan felt that this villain was too much, and one can imagine the expression on the face of that arrogant nun.

The church team followed closely behind. Before they had time to ask Josephine about the situation, they had already smelled the gunpowder from the tense confrontation.

"The City of Paradise is located in a remote corner far away from the prosperous areas. It has not been baptized by the Holy Light for too long and has forgotten the awe and respect for the Church."

By the time Josephine finished speaking, the clergy had already understood what she meant and knew that the church was being looked down upon.

"How could a lord of an exile be so arrogant as to challenge the authority of the church?"

"Your Excellency the Dragonborn should be given a free etiquette lesson. You should learn to respect the church!"

Facing this group of aggressive clergy, Chu Yan was still a little embarrassed and nervous, even though he had been mentally prepared for a conflict.

The strength of these people is indeed undoubtedly strong.

The A-level nun specialized in the enhancement aura type. After a short chant, a golden aura array of nearly 300 meters in length spread out with her as the center.

Wherever the halo reaches, runes of blessing bless the clergy.

The rest of the clergy are basically B-level. After receiving the boost from the nun, their fighting spirit surged, and their strength has vaguely touched the threshold of A-level strength!

Only after experiencing it yourself, can you understand where the saying "Output changes frequently, but support remains constant" comes from.

If there is no prior preparation, most people will just stand on the opposite side of this team, and most of them will be afraid before the battle even begins, and lose the courage to confront them.

"Go ahead, set off a 'welcome firework' for them."

As soon as Chu Yan's instructions came, Xia Nuoya no longer held back.

While she was silent, she had been accumulating strength, like a sharp blade ready to be unsheathed, waiting for the moment to reveal its edge.

With the power of the leg ring, Shanoya used all her strength in this attack, and even Janet next to her looked at her in surprise.

"Shanoya, are you trying to lose control?!"

"Please rest assured, I am sure I am not doing this recklessly." After responding to her companions' concerns, Shanoya completed the black magic.

In an instant, the strong smell of black magic caused the clergy's eyes to change slightly.

A huge magic circle appeared above the church team, and a magic sword that blocked out the sky stretched out and smashed down on their heads with the will of destruction!

The church responded quickly. With the help of the blessing halo, they worked together to form a holy light shield, which is the most effective way to deal with black magic.

There is strength in numbers, and they actually managed to fight against the magic sword!

Xia Nuoya wanted to cast a spell again, but Chu Yan stopped her. He had already seen the leg ring on the female knight's thigh disappear. If he continued to exert force, he would really weaken himself.

He turned to look at the dragon lady beside him and said:

"Madam Afarin, please attack the open space in front of their formation and damage their holy light shields."

The plump, mature and beautiful blonde lady said nothing and did not look the lord in the eye. Her right hand condensed a cold frost ball.

A frost dragon claw emerged, and the ice crystal claws swung across, tearing a deep hole in the holy light shield.

92

The claw marks directly penetrated the holy light shield.

The clergy were horrified. They did not continue to stay in the halo, but scattered in all directions, avoiding the edge of the magic sword and dodging the power of the sword.

This is the power of the Dragonborn, and the Frost Dragon Claw is the Black Ice Dragonborn's innate magic!

This time, the clergy were shaken.

Everyone looked at Sister Josephine who was in the lead.

"Sister Josephine, what should we do now?" asked a sister of war. She didn't say it clearly, but everyone knew what she meant.

The power just displayed by Paradise City was beyond their imagination.

This is a powerful enemy!

No matter whether it was the forbidden one who attacked first, or the Black Ice Dragonborn who struck back later, such power could never appear in such a small place.

If we insist on fighting, casualties are inevitable!

Not to mention, there are many taboo people in Paradise City who can delay for a long time, but Theresa's condition cannot withstand delay.

Has this new little lord gained unanimous approval from the taboo holders?

These people were actually willing to be ordered around by him, and how come there was a Black Ice Dragon helping out in the Longyan family's territory?

Unable to remain silent, and even less to hesitate, Josephine had to stand up and speak out decisively:

"I demand negotiation!"

Negotiations mean that there will be no large-scale head-on conflict in the short term.

This made Chu Yan breathe a sigh of relief. The "bluffing" strategy worked. The other party was indeed unwilling to bear the consequence of casualties!

Even though Chu Yan was the winner in this round, he still didn't have the confidence to face the church, a behemoth with hundreds of years of history.

"Beautiful Sister, it seems that you are willing to talk to me now. What do you want to talk about?"

Author's Note: These are two chapters put together.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Chapter 55: A Collar for the Nun

Lu Shuren once said it well: profound knowledge can enable you to have a good conversation with others, and a strong fist can make a fool have a good conversation with you.

After flexing their muscles, these clergymen from the church were finally able to understand their own positions, put aside their inexplicable sense of superiority, and have a good conversation with him.

Sister Josephine's face was not looking good. She walked to the front of Paradise City alone. Seeing Chu Yan's invitation, she took the empty seat and joined in the afternoon tea.

In front of the gate of Paradise City, the negotiation dialogue took place on this inconspicuous table and chair.

In order to show his sincerity, Chu Yan brought out the nuns imprisoned in the castle and returned them to the other party, then said:

"During the last round of elite monster breeding, these thieves weakened the magic circle and affected the recovery of the forbidden ones' strength. They almost killed me, so I imprisoned them at the first opportunity. Now I'm returning them to you."

To be honest, those nuns had been locked up in the castle for a long time, and Chu Yan felt that they were a hot potato. But now that they were returned to him, he felt relieved as if he had thrown away a burden.

"The miracle array is a masterpiece left by the gods of the church. It belongs to the believers. It is better to say that it is the power that the church has been lending to the Dragonborn!"

Josephine's dark purple eyes stared at Chu Yan. There was no liveliness in those eyes, like those of an adult whose beautiful aspirations had been worn away by time and the world.

"Take it back? Really? I really hope that when the church secretly stole the power before, it could be as open and justified as Sister Josephine is doing now~"

Chu Yan drank his tea calmly, not frightened by the other party's words.

If the church really believed this, it would not have acted so secretly, and would not have used the excuse of "sending nuns here to study and feel the aura left by the gods."

Josephine was filled with secret anger. Apart from those ignorant cult organizations like the Rat Moon Fee Group 694936135, she had not seen anyone dare to confront the church like this for a long time.

She took a deep breath, her tall and proud breasts undulating. Thinking of Therese's condition, the nun calmed herself down.

With a calm mind, she reviewed the incident. Thinking about Chu Yan's willingness to sit at the negotiating table with her, he naturally didn't want to be the enemy of the church, otherwise he would have fought to the death.

“Huh… Let’s talk business. I can represent the attitude of the church at the moment.

I need to send a companion into the miracle array to suppress her condition. This is our condition and an unshakable bottom line!"

The church has put forward its chips, and now it is Chu Yan's turn.

“My friend, this is also my bottom line. This exile land needs a miracle array to maintain its operation and suppress the out-of-control trend of the taboos, just like the church also wants to pull back those out-of-control clergy.

Sister Josephine, what do you say we should do about this?"

"The church can stop absorbing the aura of miracles for now, but the companions must be sent in, and you must not threaten her safety."
