Is the night devil queen me?

After that, she left the middle-aged man.

"You know what I'm looking for you for." Xifa said lightly.

"Bah!" The middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of blood, and then laughed wildly, "Hahahahahaha! You can still say such things! Are you brainless!? Do you think I will say something!? Do you think I Will I tell you something!? Ridiculous! Hahahahahaha!"

Without changing his face, Xifa stretched out his hand to grab his neck and lifted him up, "No, I know you won't say it, but there really are, you paladins, dogs who are extremely loyal to the archbishop, are now Leia, the Holy Maiden of Light, controls the Church of the Holy Light, why, still unwilling to show her loyalty?"

"The archbishop is the leader of the Church of the Holy Light...he will not be defeated by that witch Lilith...he is not dead yet..." the middle-aged man smiled, even though his face was purple and his mouth was drooling, he was still smile.

"He was defeated, there is no doubt about it, but he did not die, of course he did not die, because he is in your body." Xifa smiled lightly.

"What!? You!"

puff!

Cifer's other hand plunged into his right chest, pulling out a black heart, beating in his palm.

bump!

Xifa let go of his hand, and the middle-aged man fell to the ground with a thud, and spit out a mouthful of blood again, blood continued to flow out of the hole in his right chest.

With trembling eyes, he stretched out his hand to Xifa, "The Archbishop... Your Excellency..."

"You are really special. You actually have two hearts. Do you think that if you die, can your archbishop use your body to escape after we leave? Really, there are extremely loyal paladins who are willing to use their own hearts to escape." body as a container." Before Xifa finished speaking, the middle-aged man had stopped breathing, he sighed, and turned to look at the black heart on his palm, "Oh, Satan, I haven't seen you for so long, I didn't expect This is how we meet."

The black heart was beating, emitting bursts of black gas, and made a deep voice: "Do you want to cross the river and demolish the bridge!? Xifa!"

"Crossing the river and destroying the bridge? What is crossing the river and destroying the bridge? During the cooperation, did I stab you in the back with a knife? Now that you look like you are dead, why don't you let me take advantage of the perfect combination of light elements and pure magic energy? There are not many such existences." Xifa chuckled and said, "This is also your wish fulfilled, Satan, if I can't find you, I will consider Lilith, don't you still have feelings for her? "

"asshole!"

puff!

Xifa's palm squeezed hard, and his heart was crushed, and a small snake slowly emerged from the blood plasma, a black and white snake, with its own tail biting its mouth, and it was round.

"You are a crucial step, Satan." Sifa smiled, turned around and left.

……

……

Church of the Holy Light, branch of the Star-Moon Empire.

Not long after the new cardinal took office, a huge incident involving the church happened around his empire.

For a whole mountain, in just one night, the trees withered, the ground was dry and cracked, and the hundreds of humans living on it, including any animals and monsters, all died.

As for the Church of the Holy Light, at the top of the mountain, there was a middle-aged male corpse with his chest pierced, and his identity was a paladin of the Church of the Holy Light.

The paladin was killed, and hundreds of humans in the entire mountain were also killed. There were obvious traces of human beings, but they could not be traced. The murderer seemed to leave the scene out of thin air, without even a trace of natural holy energy or magic fluctuations.

But until the people of the Holy Light Church went there, they found a trace of light elements. As far as they knew, the dead paladin could not use light elements at all.

Then the person who uses the light element, pointing at the murderer, the person who kills the paladin, is the most sought after and most sacred light element in the mainland?

If this spreads, it will be a big scandal!

Under the gorgeous church hall, the sad-faced cardinal and some senior members of the branch are nervously discussing countermeasures.

Until a nun came in and said a few words in the cardinal's ear, causing his expression to change drastically.

Several old men in teaching uniforms beside him froze for a moment, and asked, "What's the matter, Cardinal?"

"The saint is here..." the cardinal sighed, "She has already entered the Star-Moon Empire National Mirror, and she will probably come directly to us."

"Sure enough, it really alarmed the Holy Maiden... But thinking about it... It would be strange not to alarm her for such a big thing as the paladin being killed."

Chapter 120 The fourth storm

The cardinal was almost terrified. He had only been in office for a long time, and such a big incident happened. Moreover, according to the investigation, the paladin had also entered the territory of the Star-Moon Empire.

The majestic paladin came to the Star-Moon Empire, and he, a cardinal in the Star-Moon Empire branch, didn't notice at all. People, the Saintess of Light, Leia, came here in person. You must know that the death of the archbishop caused chaos within the Church of the Holy Light. During this special period, the Saintess Leia came here as soon as possible. The seriousness of the matter, and it also involves the civilians of the empire, it is hundreds of lives, the bad influence and consequences brought about by this before and after...

The cardinal didn't even dare to think about it, and was even prepared in his heart to be demoted.

No... It should be said that even if he was expelled from the Church of the Holy Light, he would not find it strange...

What a short tenure, the Cardinal sighed. He is estimated to be the shortest-serving Cardinal in history, and it will not even be recorded.

"Okay, cardinal, you don't have to worry too much. After all, he is a paladin. He deliberately hides his aura. It is normal that we can't find it. It has already happened. It is not a solution to be so sad, even the saint Come, let's see what instructions she will give." The old leader at the side saw the cardinal's thoughts, and couldn't think of any other good way, so he could only comfort him.

"The paladin was killed. This is a big scandal. How long has it been since the incident of the archbishop... and now... ah... is it really the rise of darkness..." Another old leader sighed, his face covered with wrinkles Hands clasped together, "God... How many tests are there for our Church of the Holy Light..."

"Okay, things have happened, what's the use of talking about them."

At this moment, the door of the branch hall was opened, and a female voice as pleasant and calm as a clear bell came through.

da da da da...

The sound of crisp footsteps pierced through, and a young girl in a gold-pink robe came straight up, with a golden cross embroidered on the back, reflecting a sacred and soft luster, and there were dots of golden light around her long pink hair, like The fireflies in the woods at night add a sense of mystery and beauty.

"My lord saint!" The cardinal and the others hurriedly saluted.

"The cumbersome etiquette is unnecessary." Leia cut to the point, "Where's the body of the paladin?"

"Brought it back... Lady Saint, she is now in the soul hall of the branch." The cardinal quickly replied.

"Okay, then let's start with confidentiality matters first. A scandal is a scandal. We don't have to avoid this topic. The Church of the Holy Light is currently in an extremely unstable stage. You all know that the turmoil about the Archbishop has not subsided. Now we really can't If there is more public opinion from the outside world, it will shake the position of our Church of the Holy Light on the mainland and cause more unnecessary troubles." Leia continued, "I will negotiate with the high-level officials of the Star-Moon Empire. What I have to do now is to suppress all the rumors about this matter that may cause panic, do you understand?"

"Ah... yes!"

The cardinal didn't expect that when Saintess Leia arrived, she didn't say a word of questioning him, but instead ordered the follow-up things to be done in an orderly manner without panic.

I have to say, this more or less made the cardinal feel a little relieved.

Is this their Saintess of Light... The cardinal doesn't know Leia very well, and now it seems that she is a person who has no airs, is quick to do things, but cannot be questioned.

"I emphasize again that something has already happened. This is an undeniable fact, so the state we should have now is to do everything we can to clean up the aftermath and resolve this incident, instead of messing up by ourselves." Leia looked at Hongyi Bishop, "Cardinal."

"Here!" The cardinal hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"I don't intend to blame you, because you also have many force majeure factors in this matter, but if you have caused bad effects due to sloppy omissions after handling the incident, then I will hold you accountable, do you understand?" Leia said in a low voice.

"Yes! I understand!"

If Vivienne was at the scene, she might feel a little unfamiliar with Leia, after all, she was too different from her usual self.

But Leia is like this, she should be serious at critical moments and never play games.

"Very well, now take me to see the corpse."

"Look at the corpse? Are you going there yourself?"

"Of course, what's the problem?" Leia raised her eyebrows.

"No, no." The cardinal said this, but he actually felt a little unbelievable in his heart. After all, in his heart, the Holy Maiden of Light should be a holy and proud existence, and after all, she is a woman, so he would want to see it. A rotting corpse.

"This way please, my lord saint." The cardinal made a gesture of invitation.

Without the slightest delay, Leia followed the cardinal to the Hall of Souls. The paladin's body was covered by a white cloth, and Leia opened it without any hesitation.

Even the cardinal and several old leaders couldn't help covering their mouths and frowning after seeing the tragic appearance of the corpse.

But Leia didn't show any abnormality, and looked at the corpse carefully.

The cardinal and several old priests admired the saint even more in their hearts.

Logically speaking, the sudden death of the archbishop would definitely lead to a split in the church. Up to now, although there are differences in the church, no one dares to speak out about the split. The reason is largely because of Leia.

The cardinal has no way of knowing her methods and methods, but only knows that there must be people in the Church of the Holy Light who are dissatisfied, and the differences and party divisions are messed up. After all, no woman has ever been qualified for the position of archbishop, even the Holy Maiden of Light. No one dared to say anything openly, and no one dared to try to seize the throne. Everyone understood that it was only a matter of time before the saintess' ability and power were unified.

The entire church is still operating normally, which is a very remarkable thing in terms of the current situation.

Leia looked at the corpse and recognized it at a glance. This paladin disappeared for a while because he was dissatisfied with Leia's rule. He was an absolute supporter of the archbishop.

Although the number of large and small wounds on the whole body is countless, the most conspicuous one is the big hole on the right chest.

It seemed as if someone had been ripped out by hand and pulled out something.

not right...

Leia frowned, she focused on the wound, and after a while, her face changed slightly.

Demonic!

Although it was extremely weak, she did indeed feel a trace of magic energy.

In the entire continent, how many demons are capable of killing the holy knights of the Holy Light Church?

Lilith and the others?

This idea was passed by Leia in an instant, because she knew that even if Lilith and the others had a conflict with this paladin, they would notify Leia first, and they would definitely not just do it directly.

Unless there are hidden demon masters on this continent who have the ability to kill a holy rank powerhouse, then there is only one possibility left.

The people of Sifa...

damn it……

Leia cursed in her heart, and put the white cloth back on the body.

She didn't think that Xifa would kill this paladin for no reason. No matter how strong he was, no matter how powerful he was, it would not be wise to provoke the Church of the Holy Light at will. What's more, it would not be so easy to kill a holy knight He spent so much effort to kill a strong man of the holy order just to establish a clear hostile relationship with the Church of the Holy Light?This is unlikely.

He must have some purpose.

So for this purpose, Leia felt that it was necessary to investigate.

Chapter 120 The Pope

"My lord..." The cardinal noticed that Leia's expression was not right, and asked worriedly, "Have you got some clues?"

"Ah, there is indeed a clue." Leia replied without shy away.

"Then... who on earth has the guts to kill the paladins of our Church of the Holy Light?"

"I just have a little idea, but I'm not sure yet. The judges in the church will investigate this matter. I have already ordered you to do it clearly. Others, you don't get involved. It can kill the existence of paladins." , its strength must be extremely strong, and now that something like this has happened, I don't want anything to happen again, understand?" Leiya's expression was serious.

"Yes...Understood." The cardinal nodded.

"I will negotiate with the royal family of the Xingyue Empire. Don't worry, do what you should do and don't do anything else." Leia kept emphasizing, and the cardinal also understood that at this time, if If there is any trouble again, then this time his position as a cardinal will really be lost.

"Don't worry, Lady Saint, I will definitely arrange the follow-up matters properly."

"Then it's hard work for you."

"Don't dare."

After explaining a few more words, Leia left here, and the cardinal and several senior church seniors sent her out, watching her back as she went away, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Phew... anyway, it's a blessing in misfortune that the saint didn't blame her..." the cardinal said with lingering fear.

"Ah... I thought that the Holy Maiden would be furious. It's the old man. I was thinking wildly. After all, I am the Holy Maiden of Light. How could I do such a meaningless thing." The old leader shook his head and smiled.

"But tell me, what kind of existence is it that has the strength and courage to kill our paladin? You know, no matter which paladin is, it will be a well-known powerhouse in the mainland." The cardinal felt incredible at the same time, And a little terrified.

"These things are beyond our control. The judges of the Church of the Holy Light have intervened. It is not auspicious. Let's do our jobs well." The old leader patted the cardinal on the shoulder.

"makes sense."

……

……

After negotiating with the royal family of the Star-Moon Empire, Leia left the Star-Moon Empire and walked alone in the woods outside the city wall. Her tense face suddenly collapsed and she couldn't help sighing.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

The Holy Maiden of Light in the mainland suddenly scratched her hair like a crazy woman and threw her head back, swearing loudly.

But in the next second, Leia realized something was wrong, coughed quickly, looked around, and was relieved when she found that no one had passed by.

The way she looked just now, if someone saw her, she would really not be able to wash it off even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

The sudden incident this time gave her a headache. The death of the archbishop originally caused a mess inside the church. Although no one dared to jump out and talk about division under her full suppression, she knew in her heart that those people were like All the explosive packs are missing is the flame to ignite the fuse.

And this incident, it is estimated that it will become a flame that ignites the fuse.

Because this dead paladin happened to be one of the members who opposed her becoming the leader of the Church of the Holy Light. This time, his death was so bizarre that it inevitably made people suspicious, and let those separatists who were about to make trouble seize the opportunity to make trouble .

They would say that Leia got rid of those who disobeyed her in order to consolidate her rights. Of course, they would not say it in front of Leia, but they would spread it within the Church of the Holy Light.

How many existences can kill paladins in the mainland?

And even if they had the strength to fight the paladins, who would go to such great lengths to kill a paladin at the expense of offending the entire Church of the Holy Light for what purpose.
