"And..." Marilyn suddenly glanced at Ye Xiao again, "...I want to wait there for Mr. Ye to return to Valonde."

"Ah?" "Ah?" Ye Xiao and Ella said in unison.

"Ah... that... I just..." Seeing Ye Xiao's reaction, Marilyn waved her hands, "... I just couldn't think of... the target at the moment..."

Ella looked at Ye Xiao with a subtle expression.

Why are you looking at me? No, why would I look at myself like that?

Ye Xiao reached out his hand and pouted Ella's little face in annoyance, but Ella subconsciously slapped Ye Xiao's hand away.

Then both of them were stunned.

What the hell am I doing? I'm not going schizophrenic, am I?

Seeing Ye Xiao's actions, Marilyn's eyes widened. This, this, this... is this considered blasphemy?

"That's fine, if you've decided that." Ella nodded. "Then what about Mr. Wengerman?"

"Let's go to Valond together. He also needs to recuperate. It's up to him to decide what to do next." Marilyn glanced at Wengerman who was sleeping soundly. He seemed to be immersed in a nightmare and frowned from time to time.

"Hiss... tentacles..." and some unclear mumblings.

"Um... can I also follow you to Valonde?"

An old voice interrupted the conversation. It turned out that Hyde came over with the two horses that Ye Xiao bought.

"Are you going too?" Ella was slightly surprised. "But indeed, you are also my believer."

"I'm old... my home in Liangqiu Village was destroyed." Hyde sighed, "It doesn't matter to me where I go. I just want to find a place to do alchemy research. If I can find shelter in Valonde, it will be a good place for me."

"That's not a problem." Ella nodded. Although she didn't know what special effects Hyde's miracle blood had, if he was willing to follow her words, it might be of some help to her evil god skills.

Thinking of this, she called up the skill panel and suddenly found that the evil god skill tree on it had extended another branch.

【Cynthia's Arm】

Along with this core skill tree, various small skills extend around it, such as "bloodline hyperplasia" and "limb alienation"...

Did I swallow Cynthia?

Ella looked at the unconscious Wengerman. There was no white hair on his body anymore and his body had returned to its normal size. The spiritual consciousness must have no longer been attached to him.

However, her evil god physique seemed to have become even more complicated... But it was also a good thing. She could use it to sense the fallen ones who were still wandering around Liangqiu Village, and use her thoughts to guide them into the ruins deep in the jungle, so that they would no longer affect the villagers of Liangqiu Village.

After some communication, Ella carried Marilyn and Hyde carried Wengerman back to Valonde. Poor Ye Xiao had to drag his injured body and ride back to Liangqiu Village to rest for a night.

I don't know when the autumn rain stopped. Dewdrops reflected the moonlight in the thick night. The story of Liangqiu Village finally came to an end with the sound of horses' hooves going their separate ways.

Chapter 24 Valonde

"This is... the capital of the Loren Empire."

Marilyn rode on horseback, holding Ella's waist, and came out of the dense forest. The first thing they saw was the endless wilderness.

In the distance were rolling mountains. Even though it was late in the evening and the moon was dim, the majestic imperial city half resting on the mountains was still brightly lit.

The winding Lanlong River runs through the grassland along the Imperial City Mountains, around the towering city walls and the dense settlements around them. Three tributaries extend into the city through the lights of thousands of houses, reflecting the stars like the bright Milky Way, converging in the deep pool under the waterfall on the top of Valonde Mountain. The magnificent Loren Palace is located at the outlet of the waterfall on the top of the mountain.

"I know the view is spectacular." Ella looked at the royal city in the distance, and couldn't help but recall the scene when she and her guildmates first arrived at the foot of Mount Valonde in her previous life. "But Miss Marilyn, if you don't hold on tight, aren't you afraid of being thrown off the horse?"

"Ah! Eh, but...but..." Marilyn's face flushed and she didn't know how to answer. She couldn't say that she was a little afraid. Normally speaking, which god would let his believers hold his waist and ride together?

She has no experience in this kind of thing!

……

Using an awkward position that was neither embraced nor actually embraced, Marilyn finally arrived at the settlement outside the city wall at the foot of the imperial city. These buildings, consisting of tents of travelers and merchants and civilian huts, were still bustling at this time.

A long carriage convoy stretched out from the gate of the imperial city. Elder Hyde, who was traveling with them, was a little worried when he saw it. "There is such a long queue at this late hour. We will have to wait in line for a long time."

"It's okay. We have a micro-pass." Ella drove her horse around the crowd. "There are caravans coming in and out of the imperial city from morning to night. This is already the shortest."

"Wei Ai...what passage?" Marilyn looked confused.

"Ahem, there is a fast passage for the residents of the Imperial City at the side door."

Following Ella's guidance, they saw a much shorter team at the city gate, being checked one by one before entering the city.

"Stop, where are you from?"

At the door, soldiers in iron helmets stretched out their halberds to stop Ella and her group.

"Are you stupid? That's the Lord of the Holy Temple." His companion recognized Ella's clothes at a glance and grabbed the soldier. "Please forgive me, Lord. This brother has just started his post recently and doesn't understand many rules yet."

"But the temple uniforms are also camouflaged," the new soldier was a little confused, "We can't just let them go without checking."

"Lady Saint!" Just at this moment, a guard who was obviously dressed as a captain came running over. When he saw Ella, he greeted her first, and then slapped the new soldier on the helmet without saying a word, "Are you blind? Are you blind? Lady Saint, please pass, please pass. This newcomer doesn't know the rules, please don't take it to heart."

"Not really."

Ella smiled bitterly. The customs of the imperial city's gatekeepers were also very unique. In her previous life, when she walked through the gate as Ye Xiao, she was suspected of being a foreign spy because of her mixed outfit with player characteristics. She was searched for her bag and ring, and she was not allowed to go until she stuffed ten copper coins into his pocket.

She took out a small lace purse and wanted to take out the residence certificate signed by the municipal government, but the captain directly called two guards over, who respectfully led her horse and led the group into the door as quickly as if they were sending away the plague god.

Seeing Ella walking away, the new soldier felt a little aggrieved, "But Captain..."

The captain sighed and helped the soldier straighten his helmet, which had just been knocked askew. He lowered his voice and said, "I was just saving you! Didn't I ask you to remember the eldest daughter of the Duke's family? Do you know what happened to the last guard who stopped her?"

"Um, who is that? What happened to him?"

"Do you remember the beggar with a broken leg in the western settlement? The one who often boasted to others that he had been a guard?"

The new soldier trembled all over.

……

"Saint... Madam?" Marilyn pondered the title she had just heard, wanting to ask something but not daring to.

"Ah... that's the title the Holy Temple gave me." Ella carefully rode her horse forward on the crowded streets. The bustling streets in the dark night were a unique sight in the imperial city. Even so, many people seemed to recognize the daughter of the Duke. When they saw her iconic silver hair and deep red eyes, even the most crowded pedestrians would shy away in fear.

The Duke's daughter used to like riding a horse and killing people on the road. Now that she has become a saint, she is probably even more lawless. No one dares to gamble his life against her mood.

Ella knew the reason as she retained her memories before the time travel, but there was nothing she could do. This might be the first time in history that the infamous saint had done this.

"Hey, Lady Haiweier...is she still the Holy Maiden of All Saints?" Marilyn was a little bit incredulous.

She recalled the mighty mud river on Liangqiu Ridge and those crazy tentacles that could cause mental trauma just by looking at them. Although it was a bit disrespectful, wasn't this a typical evil...Outer God?

Which of the upright gods had such a unique vision to take in the outer gods as saints? ?

"She is the Saint chosen by the God of Light." Ella could roughly imagine Marilyn's expression behind her.

“…Ah?” The little head with the golden-gray ponytail froze.

"We're here. If you don't mind, you can stay here first." Ella led everyone to a small manor in the West City District.

This is her personal property, a three-story mansion with a half-hectare fountain garden. It is managed by servants but no one lives there. The eldest daughter of the Duke's family has always been so willful.

However, from an investment perspective, the price of this manor located in the bustling downtown area of ​​West City is actually increasing.

"Thank you so much, Lady Hywel." At the side, Hyde got off his horse, his excitement beyond words. The house he had in Aslan before he fell into poverty was not as luxurious as this one.

"Mr. Hyde, if you just want to find a place to live in seclusion, why don't you choose the Imperial City instead of Liangqiu Village?" Ella instructed the servant who came out of the door to take the horse away. "In terms of living conditions or research conditions, the Imperial City should be better."

"Lord Haiweier..." Hyde looked embarrassed. "Although I was fortunate enough to be a noble in the past, I am now in poverty. The housing prices in the imperial city are not something I can afford."

Ella touched her nose. She thought that they had to live in Liangqiu Village in order to hide their bloodline or some shocking secret, and that there was a tortuous and bizarre quest line behind it. She didn't expect that the reason was as realistic as having no money.

"Okay, then you guys stay here and recuperate for a while. There are dozens of gold coins in the small bag. If you need anything else, just ask Butler Morik for it. If you encounter any emergency, use this message scroll."

"Lord Haiweil is generous." Hyde praised with joy. Who wouldn't like a god who gave gold coins to his believers?

"Hey..." Marilyn took the small packet and scroll handed to her by Ella.

"What's wrong?"

"I thought... it would require some kind of ritual or formation..." Marilyn held the message scroll, "I didn't expect it would be a message scroll..."

Marilyn's feeling was probably as subtle as God patting a believer on the shoulder and saying, "Call me if you have any questions."

"After all, I have a physical body." Ella waved goodbye to the three people. The reason why there are three is because there is also an unconscious Wengerman. "But what you said does make sense, Miss Marilyn. I will think about a similar magic circle when I go back."

In fact, there is such a magic circle in the contract spell derivative of Ella's skill tree, but the conditions require blood sacrifice and self-mutilation, which doesn't feel good and affects her image.

After explaining everything, Ella mounted her horse and rushed back towards the temple.

Chapter 25: Improvement of the Magic Array

The next day.

The sanctuary, the great library.

Freya was reading the files that recorded how the Sanctuary used the lie detection maxims to interrogate Ella a few days ago.

The position of the Holy Maiden of Light, the goal of many years of hard work, was inexplicably replaced by a notorious daughter of the aristocracy. Anyone could not accept it.

Nowadays, even Freya's yin-yang title of "Candidate Saint" is spreading among the young disciples of the Holy Temple. Even someone as strong as her is a little confused.

In order to calm down, she came to the library alone. It happened that the files of the temple affairs from a few days ago were put into the library, so she couldn't help but look out the information related to Ella.

But just one look at it made her feel surprised.

The files record that what determined Ella to be the Holy Maiden of Light was the coronation by the six-winged angel in the ceremony hall and the stigma of the God of Light. Both of these points were present and examined by the elders, so there was no way they could be faked.

However, all the Chosen Gods of Light have an affinity for holy attributes that surpasses everyone else, and they have an absolutely overwhelming talent in the field of holy light spells.

However, when doing a spiritual essence test, Ella's affinity for the holy attribute was only "above average".

The level is "above average". Not to mention Freya's "holy rank" qualifications, she is not even as good as some talented clergymen of the same period as her.

Moreover, after observing Ella in the training room for the past two days, it can't be said that Ella's mastery of holy light spells is completely ignorant, but it can only be said that her performance is really mediocre. In the practical class's healing exercise, only the pot of saplings operated by Ella could not be saved at all, and even withered directly because it was delayed for too long.

Ella, who had put in all her effort at that time, could only produce a little fluorescence at her fingertips. For a newcomer who had never learned holy light spells, being able to produce a little holy light was indeed good, but this was the Saint of Light.

He claims to be a God-chosen talent, but after learning the holy light spell for two days he can only spray out holy light the size of a fingernail. This level is too low.

And... another very strange point is that Ella's personality image is inconsistent with the rumors in the outside aristocratic circle.

Even if her current appearance was a deliberate disguise after becoming a saint, Ella had not yet become a saint during the interrogation by the Precepts of Detection of Lies. However, her performance in the last question showed that she was an image of someone who loved her steward so much that she lied and was punished by the Holy Light. Could she be the same person as the infamous Duke's daughter?

Her intuition told her that there was definitely something wrong with Ella's behavior.

After the angel was crowned, the high priest and the elders of the temple ignored this issue intentionally or unintentionally. Moreover, since most people believed that if Freya deliberately insisted on this matter, she would only be labeled as a "candidate saint who can't afford to lose."

She needed more clues.

Freya continued to flip through the files and saw the records about the summoning ceremony of the evil god Darkshepherd.

As she read the information above, she gradually realized that there seemed to be a huge conspiracy brewing in secret.

……

The scenery is beautiful and the sky is clear.

In the training room of the Holy Temple, a girl with fiery red hair was pulling the sleeve of another silver-haired girl with a funny and helpless look on her face:

"Lady Saint, please wake up. It is wrong to sleep in class."

"Ah... I... I just have a stomachache." Ella woke up from a daze, glanced at the priests around who were looking at her, and could only hold her stomach and speak.

"We used this excuse yesterday, Saint..." Pastor classmate Chloe couldn't help laughing as she looked at Ella's face pretending to be sad.

After two days of study, Ella finally couldn't stand the torture of attending classes anymore.

It's really boring. Either they keep talking about the crappy teachings of the God of Light over and over again, or they keep dissecting a few holy light spells that have been talked about countless times.

She hasn't been able to learn those holy light spells yet, and once they are added to the skill panel, they all turn into evil god spells.

In the practical class, she had to work very hard to squeeze out a little holy light. If it weren't for the inspection and certification by the high priest, Ella would have thought that the stigma on her body was drawn with a pen by an angel to trick her.

Teacher Bos's smooth voice was more hypnotic than that of the ancient god baby in Liangqiu Village. There was no way to resist it with one's will.

If Ella concentrated on what was happening over there with Ye Xiao through the soul link, she would not be able to help but doze off.

What's more, Ye Xiao is still recuperating in Liangqiu Village and has just set off. It would be great if another monster came and fought with him.

Ye Xiao, who was far away, had the same feeling at this moment: "I think you wish I were dead."

Sigh. Why is it so torturous to attend classes? Even if you travel to another world, you can't escape it...

The little old man who was talking incessantly on the stage didn't know that he had become the first person in history to defeat the gods in the spiritual realm, and he was still writing furiously on the podium.

If you have nothing to do, you might as well think about how to provide your believers with a means to contact you.
