You've found the Gusha-hime Knight, so put your hair up in a bun!

In addition, using the Moon Pearl for cultivation over the years can even increase one's affinity for the moonlight element, which is to say, extraordinary talent.

This is a terrifying effect, after all, it's not just superficially helping to increase some extraordinary level, but it actually enhances the root.

Xi Luo couldn't understand why the demons wanted this thing, since most demons should have an elemental advantage against it.

Hearing Shiloh's question, Cecilia wasn't quite sure either, and could only guess: "Perhaps... they used some method to obscure perception?"

"Deceived—hmm?"

A sudden inspiration struck Xi Luo, and she stroked her chin.

The gods in this world are all alive, but due to the limitations of the world's rules, they can only indirectly influence the middle layer.

Given such a profound and rich place by the gods, the moon goddess's perception here would be correspondingly greater. However, her method of perception is similar to that of other gods, which is to perceive through the elemental content within living beings.

The living environment of demons is different from that of creatures in the human world, so their elements are imbued with the unique characteristics of demons, making them easy to distinguish.

Of course, there is one exception.

"I almost forgot, the demon who was leading the group was a vampire."

Silo recalled the figure with long, blood-red hair in the game and said softly.

Chapter 61 Hehe, she's the enemy's fiancée! (3k)

Vampires are one of the powerful demonic races that live in the abyss.

However, unlike other demons, vampires actually have intricate connections with humans when traced back to their origins.

According to legend, the progenitor of vampires was one of the Moon God's chosen ones, and even the strongest chosen one in that era.

However, for some reason, he chose to betray the Moon Goddess and plunge into the embrace of the Abyss.

With his powerful control over the lunar elements and the help of the god Slaanesh, he successfully transformed himself from a human into an abyssal creature.

However, this powerful control over the lunar element has been passed down as a bloodline, without being tainted by any of the unique characteristics of the demon race.

In other words, if we disregard other demonic characteristics, based solely on the lunar element remaining within their bodies, vampires are no different from humans. In fact, most vampires generally possess stronger lunar elemental talents than humans.

Because they are a race that evolved from humans, the consequence they suffer from is that they need to periodically consume fresh blood, otherwise their strength will become weaker and weaker.

At the same time, their beliefs are very diverse. Some have different family beliefs, some believe in whichever god they think is stronger, and some don't want to believe in anything at all, but instead study magic in the human world.

In short, the vampire race is like a miniature version of the Odrecia Empire, with all sorts of extraordinary abilities.

Upon hearing what Shiloh said, Cecilia frowned even more deeply and said, "In that case, it makes sense that the Moon Goddess did not issue a warning."

Cecilia had fought vampires many times on the front lines and knew all too well how terrifying this abyssal race was.

In addition to his extraordinary talent, his physical strength is comparable to that of many powerful warriors who specialize in physical training, and he also possesses a mimicry ability that is difficult to defend against...

Even a single vampire is difficult to kill, let alone a small group of vampires who have infiltrated the city of Hifiel. What they seek must be extremely important, and may plunge the entire city's people into crisis!

"These... damned demons!"

As a Holy Knight, Cecilia had fought against various demons on the battlefield for many years, and her hatred for demons was absolutely unwavering. She wished she could purify these damned guys right now.

Shiloh patted Cecilia on the shoulder, causing her to instinctively turn her head to look.

When Cecilia saw Shiloh's calm and deep dark eyes, her heavy breathing gradually subsided. She then bit her lip, lowered her head, and whispered, "Sorry, I got too excited."

Silo shook his head, stroking Cecilia's high ponytail as if soothing a golden retriever, and then said, "I'm not blaming you, it's just... we're not on the front lines right now. Our opponents are ruthless and cunning demons, and if we're not careful, we might lose everything."

Cecilia listened attentively and knew that what Shilo said was entirely correct, so she began to adjust her mindset.

"I know, but..."

Cecilia clenched her fist and muttered something to herself, feeling somewhat resentful.

Upon hearing this, Shiloh moved even closer, and then, under Cecilia's slightly shy gaze, pulled her into his arms.

“I know you are very unwilling right now and want to kill these demons immediately. I need you to be patient for a while and let your anger build up. I promise you, the final judgment will come.”

"……Um."

Cecilia's emerald eyes widened, and after hearing Shiloh's promise, her pretty face softened, filled with emotion.

"Thank you... Master."

Cecilia thought for a moment and then added the title she wasn't quite used to.

Anyway, he'll be happy if I shout it like this, so... I'll just shout it like this.

Irene, resting her chin on her hands, darted her large, bright blue eyes back and forth between Shiloh and Cecilia, before a meaningful smile curved her lips.

Cecilia is still as easily moved as ever...

After entering the city, Shiloh decided to first visit the bishop at the local "Quiet Church".

In the original story, this bishop truly fought to the last drop of blood. Even after one of his deputy bishops betrayed him, he led his followers to block the road where the [Moon Pearl] was stored until Cecilia arrived, at which point he finally passed away.

Therefore, this bishop is clearly a good guy, and the obvious wolf in Water City, besides the vice bishop, is also the vice lord of Water City.

The reason for their betrayal was quite simple: one of them had been stuck at the transcendent level for a long time and was about to die, so he wanted to use the [Moon Pearl] to negotiate with the demons and transform himself into a vampire.

The other was power-hungry. After learning that the demons' true target was the Moon Pearl and the Blood Food, he helped cover up their identities and demanded that the current city lord be killed in the battle.

He then became a hero who successfully drove out the demons, thus successfully taking over the position of the current city lord.

With the Wolf and Good Guy cards now clear, Shiloh's immediate task is to unite with the Iron Good Guy Bishop, then use the answers to find clues and convict these traitors one by one.

After entering the Quiet Church through the side door, a nun spotted Shiloh and his companions. Just as she was about to confront them, she was stunned by Shiloh's appearance when he lifted his cloak to reveal his true face.

My goodness, how can someone be so good-looking...

"Beautiful lady, could you please call Bishop Siri over here?"

Shiloh stepped forward slowly, revealing a deadly smile that made the pretty little nun blush immediately, stammering and unsure how to react.

"This one! That one!"

Seeing the flustered little nun, Xi Luo raised an eyebrow, reached out and placed his hands on her shoulders, and said softly, "Please calm down. I'm listening. You can talk about it slowly."

The gentleness in his deep, dark eyes gradually eased the young nun's shyness and panic. Swallowing hard, and suppressing her slightly dry throat, the nun shrank back, too shy to look directly at Silo. Staring at the floor, she slowly said, "Um... Bishop Siri is receiving distinguished guests, so..."

Xi Luo suddenly realized, then frowned slightly, wondering who these "distinguished guests" were. He then asked calmly, "Could you please take us there?"

"Eh?"

The young nun looked up in surprise. Logically speaking, it was not something she should do to take a stranger to see the bishop without permission from the higher-ups.

In serious cases, this is called overstepping authority and breaking the rules; it's a grave mistake, and you might end up in solitary confinement for a few days.

But... but...

But this person is just too good-looking, and so gentle, and doesn't have any demonic aura, so... so there's definitely no problem!

Thinking this to herself, the little nun nodded, her face flushed, and said, "Um... please come with me."

Okay, thank you.

Xi Luo smiled slightly, which made the naive young nun even more confused, and her steps became somewhat unsteady as she led the way.

Cecilia and Irene, who were walking at the very back, exchanged a glance, both of them wary.

It smells like a vixen...

Although Irene knew that what she was doing was wrong, after experiencing her master's tenderness yesterday, seeing him so close to other strange women, especially when the other woman was a girl about the same age as herself, made Irene feel a pang of jealousy.

I need to breathe on my skin.

It was obvious that the vixen walking in front had no eyes for herself or Cecilia; her eyes were completely filled with her master.

She's a nun, and a nun from the "Quiet Church" that emphasizes purity and abstinence, yet she's so...so shameless!

ha!!

Cecilia glanced at the little girl who was following behind with a fierce and gloomy expression, raised an eyebrow, and looked somewhat strange.

It's likely that Irene is usually very well-behaved at home, and even when she saw herself and Shiloh being affectionate, she didn't react much, and even seemed to want to encourage it.

But why is she acting like a cat guarding its food today?

Although Cecilia had some reservations about Shiloh teasing the young girl, that was just his nature, and she had long since given up on trying to change him.

Even if you change Shiloh, as long as you can ensure that you don't let him corrupt you, that's fine.

"Bishop Siri is inside. Would you like me to introduce you?"

Although she deliberately slowed her pace, the reception room was not far from the side door, and observing that Shilo seemed to be very familiar with the place, the little nun did not dare to deliberately lead her astray, so they soon arrived at their destination.

"Thank you for showing me the way. I'll treat you to a meal sometime."

Shiloh nodded politely. The little nun looked regretful, but still bowed and stepped aside.

Taking two steps forward, Xi Luo placed his palm on the door, listening to the faint conversation coming from inside. He paused, suddenly feeling a sense of familiarity.

After a moment's hesitation, Xi Luo pushed the door open with a little force.

“Bishop Sirie, please explain why unauthorized persons have intruded on our conversation?”

Before seeing the person, one hears their voice.

Upon hearing this voice, which was filled with a faint arrogance, Xi Luo was initially surprised, but then felt a surge of excitement within him.

Pesley Roor, son of a marquis, comes from a marquis family that is quite prestigious in the capital.

This guy was somewhat famous at the Lorthorn Academy of Magic, not because of his arrogant, but in Shiloh’s eyes, pitiful talent, but because of his fiancée.

Arya Wayne, a direct descendant of the chosen Wayne family, is the eldest daughter of the current Grand Duke of Finance.

Chapter 62 [The Compassionate Moon Slayer] (Two chapters combined, 4k)

"It's been so long, but your attitude is still as arrogant and rude as ever, Elvis."

After removing his cloak and straightening his clothes, Shiloh glanced at Elvis not far away and chuckled, "A nobleman is one who maintains elegance and composure at all times. If you're going to take your anger out on someone over something so trivial... heh heh."

Xi Luo shook his head and didn't continue, but the disdain in his eyes was obvious.

Seeing that Shiloh, who had temporarily taken a leave of absence from the academy, had appeared here, Elvis frowned, feeling inexplicably annoyed.

In fact, Elvis disliked being criticized for not being "noble enough," and he would react strongly whenever the topic was brought up.

The root cause is an inferiority complex deeply rooted in one's heart.

Although the Zorc family, as a marquisate, has been related to the Chosen Vine family by marriage for generations, this is mainly due to the Vine family's special circumstances.

The six electoral families each manage the empire's military, magic, finance, diplomacy, religion, and intelligence, respectively.

Compared to the other five chosen families, the Emperor valued the Grand Duke of Veen, who was in charge of finances, for his ability to manage finances, rather than his own strength.

This resulted in the fact that none of the descendants of the Wayne family throughout the generations possessed exceptional talent; they were merely slightly better than the average genius.

The Wayne family, who control the finances, also fears being targeted, so they need to find an "ally" who is powerful but not as influential as them to build an unbreakable alliance.

In this era, the most unbreakable alliance is marriage.

After a rigorous selection process, the ancestor of the Zork family was chosen by the Wayne family. Their family had exceptional talent in cultivation, and with the Wayne family's assistance, they quickly established themselves in the military field.

As times changed, the two families became almost inseparable, and they established a rule that the eldest sons and daughters of both families must marry.

But things are a little different when it comes to Elvis and Arya.

Generally speaking, the heirs of the Zorc family are stronger than those of the Wayne family, acting as "guardians".

However, Aria's extraordinary talent far surpasses that of all the previous ancestors of the Wayne family, and she can even be ranked among the top in the history of the Empire.

The gentle and somewhat timid Aria, after joining the Church of Tranquility and embracing the Moon Goddess, saw her top-tier lunar elemental talent rapidly elevate her rank in a very short time.

To this day, Elvis is still lingering at the [Azure Flame Staircase], while Aria has long since surpassed that level and reached the [Void Realm Staircase].

Therefore, Elvis's position is quite awkward. He can't compete in terms of talent, nor can he compete in terms of family background. His own talent is insignificant in the context of Lorthene Magic Academy, and the fact that his ancestors were wandering cultivators is secretly ridiculed by many of his noble classmates.

"The Wayne family's fiancé," was the derogatory nickname Elvis used at the academy.

Upon hearing Shiloh subtly mention that he was "not noble enough," the sensitive Elvis's face immediately darkened.

Ignoring Aria's dissuasive gaze, Elvis walked past Bishop Siri and stood in front of Shilo, sneering, "Heh, who do we have here? It's the former magical genius, Shilo."

The fact that Xi Luo's talent was completely destroyed overnight is already common knowledge throughout the capital.

Elvis's eyes were full of schadenfreude when he said those words.

In his eyes, even if Shiloh's family background was better than his, what did that mean?

This doesn't change the fact that he's a good-for-nothing.

Compared to the other two, Elvis felt that he was not so bad after all. Wasn't there someone even more useless here?
