"That's good. Our team is in need of long-range damage output. We have warriors and swordsmen. I'll make sure you can throw fireballs comfortably in the back."

"It sounds good, but it would be better if the captain's name was more normal."

"I think my nickname is pretty good. You know, there are two guys competing with me for the ID." Li Cheng seemed to be a little proud for some reason. "It just so happens that I recently accepted a task with good pay. You coming here is just right to fill in the gaps."

"What mission?"

"Guardians of the Hajj Festival."

Chapter 2: Secret Method of Endorsement

At this time, Ella was in the Loren Cathedral with her eyes closed, muttering to herself.

"...The God of Light will bless the world with holy light, so that those who are troubled in their hearts can be comforted, and those who are tired of, uh, tired of walking can... rest?"

"It's time to take a break." Sister Mino said, looking at the thick handouts. "It's not good, Lady Ella. There are only three days left and I haven't even finished memorizing the second volume."

"Ahhhh how can I possibly memorize this in time." Ella wanted to cry but had no tears. Yesterday the high priest suddenly told her that she would be the one preaching at this pilgrimage festival. He gave her four volumes of lecture notes and asked her to recite them word for word at the ceremony.

Wouldn't this cost her her life?

"Or... ask the high priest to help streamline it?" Nia on the side was also a little worried.

"It has been streamlined once. It was originally six volumes." Ella felt like her soul was about to float out of her mouth.

Why does it feel like being a saint is all about torture?

If I were to slip up in front of tens of thousands of people in the Cathedral Square, I would not be able to imagine the scene that would occur.

In my own world, didn't the popes all hold a thick book and read from it? Why do the saints in this world have to recite the book, and even call it "the teachings conveyed to me by the gods"? Don't you feel guilty for talking nonsense like this?

Ella couldn't think of any way to cheat under the watchful eyes of the crowd... There was no such technology in the world. If only she had a headset or a teleprompter...

Wait, isn’t Ye Xiao here?

Ella suddenly had an idea. She could just let her other half read the book while she read it on the stage.

Why am I wasting my time memorizing these things? I'm such a genius!

Looking at the two-finger-thick handout, Ella suddenly felt hopeful again.

"Ah, I feel the revelation from God, Mino, come and give me the handout."

Since these speeches were all written by the high priest himself and there was only one copy, Ella could only find a chance to leave the temple and hand them directly to Ye Xiao.

Theoretically, she could also look at it and then have Ye Xiao copy it out again, but looking at the densely packed words, Ella gave up the idea after thinking about it.

She wrapped up her lecture notes in a piece of cloth, changed into an inconspicuous black robe, and went out. However, as soon as she went out, a team of Templar Knights blocked the door. "Lady Saint, there are many people in the Imperial City during this period. If you plan to travel, we need to be responsible for your safety."

This team of six was led by the familiar Tin Can Knight.

"Forehead……"

Not to mention leaving the Loren Cathedral, just leaving the bedroom and walking in the corridor, this team of Templar Knights would surround you like a security team.

Never mind, just follow them. I’m just delivering a package, what can they do to me?

……

In the Adventurer's Guild Hall, Li Cheng was still chatting and laughing with Ye Xiao. Since Ye Xiao had decided to join the team, he naturally called the other members of the team over to introduce them to each other.

"This is my old friend, Ye Xiao." Li Cheng held a wine glass and excitedly introduced him to several teammates present. "His profession is an elemental mage. He is very powerful. We don't have to worry about the output position in the future!"

"That's exaggerated. I can only throw a few fireballs." Ye Xiao waved his hands. "My rank is average, at the level of an apprentice. Please give me more advice in the future."

"Please give me more advice" "Please give me more advice hahaha"

I have to say that Li Cheng's friends are all pretty nice. After clinking glasses and chatting, they all turned out to be quite warm and sincere.

"But it's a bit strange. Most of your buddies are warriors or two-handed swordsmen." While drinking, Ye Xiao asked Li Cheng with some doubt, "Did you happen to meet warriors when you were out there exploring the wasteland?"

"Well, that's not the case." Li Cheng paused after hearing this, "This is a long story, hahahaha."

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient to say it."

"That's not the case. There used to be one before..."

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Li?" Before Li Cheng finished speaking, a sharp voice came from the next table, "Why, today is a day off, so we don't have to do the mission?"

Ye Xiao and others looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man from another adventure team with dark yellow hair and a small braid at the back of his head sitting across from another table, looking at them.

Ye Xiao noticed that the moment Li Cheng saw this man, his expression became a little gloomy.

There seems to be a story behind this expression that could make Li Cheng, who is always friendly to everyone, show such an expression.

"Li Cheng, do you know the donkey-tail guy opposite?" Ye Xiao asked intentionally when he saw this.

"What are you talking about, little brat?!" The man with pigtails stood up and strode over.

"Ah, we have dealt with each other before. Xu Xia was originally our mage, but later he joined their team because of some things." Li Cheng patted Ye Xiao's shoulder, then stood up, "Luo Heng, everyone is here to eat, there is no need to quarrel."

Ye Xiao did not know the guy with pigtails called Luo Heng, but he knew Xu Xia whom Li Cheng had just mentioned very well.

That was the "goddess" that Li Cheng had been pursuing before. In the previous life, when he first traveled through time, for her safety, Li Cheng gave her the sword he got from the system.

Ye Xiaogang was still puzzled as he could clearly see that woman when Li Cheng established the guild in Storm Harbor in his previous life, but he didn't see her this time.

It turned out that it was pried away by Huangmao.

"Noisy, noisy, I'm going to argue right in front of you, so what, you coward, do you have the guts..."

Before Luo Heng could finish his words with a look of disdain on his face, Ye Xiao grabbed the glass bottle on the table and slapped him in the face.

There was a crisp "pop" sound, which stunned Li Cheng and his teammates on the side.

Luo Heng was also stunned. He touched his bleeding face and didn't react for a moment. "How dare you..."

"Stop talking so much trash. If you want to fight, just do it now." Seeing that the other party was still in a daze, Ye Xiao kicked him hard in the stomach, knocking Luo Heng over.

Ye Xiao always felt that if he faced someone who couldn't beat him but provoked him, he would be at a disadvantage if he didn't beat him up immediately, otherwise he would be at a disadvantage if he was scolded by someone else.

"Brother! Damn it, brother!" Li Cheng rushed over and grabbed Ye Xiao. What was going on? When did his brother become such a reckless man?

However, the team at the opposite table had all stood up, grabbed their chairs and bottles and rushed over.

Then Li Cheng watched the "magician" they invited rush into the crowd like a god of war and punch each one of them.

"This, this, this..." The team members were stunned. They didn't expect that the person the captain brought over was so powerful. What kind of physical mage was he?

"Oh, never mind, let's beat them up first!" Li Cheng was too lazy to think about it, he just picked up the hot pot and rushed forward.

He originally wanted to say that Luo Heng knew the nobles in the imperial city and had a background that made him difficult to deal with.

But his buddies had already rushed up to beat people up, so what he said was just nonsense.

Fight first, and talk later.

The Adventurer's Guild Hall was in chaos for a while because of these two groups of people.

Chapter 3 Bullying

Adventurers fight and kill every day, and they are a group of hot-blooded people.

This conflict, which was originally only in a corner, was like a gradually expanding storm. Perhaps an adventurer who was watching was accidentally hit on the head by a flying glass bottle, or perhaps two drunkards who disliked each other took advantage of the chaos to seek revenge. In short, the situation quickly expanded from a small fight between Li Cheng and Luo Heng's teams to a large-scale melee that swept across the adventure hall.

The elf ladies working in the hall were actually not surprised by this kind of thing. They just sat behind the counter yawning and breaking coins to bet on which side would win.

The chaos came to an end only when the imperial guards hurried over.

"Stop! Stop it!" Captain Ralph of the guard rushed in and ordered his men to press the restless adventurers to the ground.

Under the scolding and obstruction of the guards, the adventurers finally stopped and stood silently by the wall with the stools or pot lids in their hands.

"What are you doing here in broad daylight! Is there no law?" Ralph was furious. What had happened to these people today? Fighting in the center of the imperial city, they really didn't take their law enforcement department seriously.

He pushed through the crowd and quickly locked his eyes on the group of people still fighting in the corner.

"Don't stop!" He led his team forward and pulled these guys apart.

As the culprit, Ye Xiao took the opportunity to slap Luo Heng twice when he was pulled away, as his braids were torn.

"What are you doing? You're still hitting me!" Ralph was so angry that he felt dizzy. He dragged Ye Xiao to the wall and held him down.

"Ah... Ahhh..." Luo Heng pointed at Ye Xiao and trembled with a bruised face. His broken front teeth and blood on his cheeks made it difficult for him to speak clearly.

"Calm down, sir!" After seeing Ye Xiao finally behave himself after being held down by the guards, Ralph walked over to Luo Heng again.

Seeing the captain of the guard walking towards him, Luo Heng excitedly took out a badge from his clothes and stuffed it into Ralph's hand, "Woo...ah...!"

Ralph took the badge and looked at it, his eyes slightly widened, "Uh, you are the Marquis's man!?"

Luo Heng nodded, paused, and shook his head, "Woo... Woo..."

"Captain... I think what he means is that he has a relationship with the Marquis's family." A guard nearby came over and whispered.

"Yeah..." Luo Heng nodded quickly.

Ralph understood and looked at Ye Xiao, Li Cheng and others on the other side, "Catch them for me!"

Seeing this, Ye Xiao turned his head and looked at Li Cheng, "Ah, he actually knows the local nobles, why didn't he say so earlier."

Li Cheng had a complicated expression, "Brother, you didn't even give me a chance to say it... You hit him in the face with your bottle within ten seconds of meeting him."

"Tsk, I should have broken his arm earlier." Ye Xiao was a little annoyed.

"So this is what you're worried about...?"

"Everyone, show me your identification cards!" Ralph yelled, "And you guys, you guys dressed in weird clothes, show me your adventurer certificates too!"

"Will he return it?" Li Cheng took out the certificate from under the breastplate.

"I don't know either." Ye Xiao shrugged and handed over his own.

“Damn, you’re actually a mage, are you kidding me?” Ralph looked at the certificate Ye Xiao handed over, then looked up at the blood stains on Ye Xiao’s fists with a complicated expression, “Take them away, take them all away!”

"The other side is also beating people, why don't you bet on them?" Ye Xiao pretended to be confused.

"What's it to you? I'll detain you if I want to!" Ralph roared, "You ungrateful country bumpkin, shut your stinky mouth."

After saying that, he pretended to have his men take Ye Xiao and Li Cheng and their gang to the entrance of the hall.

"Captain, can you wait a moment? A friend of mine is coming soon." Ye Xiao stood still. "She wants to deliver a package to me. You can take custody of it after she delivers it."

"What a mess! Let her send you to jail!"

"No, maybe you know each other, and you can all become friends."

"Don't waste your time. I don't care who she is. Just get out of here!" Ralph could no longer bear it and grabbed Ye Xiao by the collar and was about to attack him.

Just at this moment, a light and pleasant voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Captain, has my friend committed any crime?"

Hearing this unexpected voice, Ralph suddenly realized that since when, the only voices in the entire guild hall were his and Ye Xiao's. The others seemed to be under a silencing spell and did not say a word.

The atmosphere was so eerily quiet.

He turned around slowly and saw a young girl standing quietly behind him with her hands folded. She was wearing a knee-length skirt embroidered with gilded flame patterns, which highlighted her holiness and dignity. Her two silver ponytails were tied up with a white hairband and rested behind her shoulders. Her pretty and lovely face had rosy eyes that were slightly narrowed, which seemed to be captivating.

Compared to the girl who seemed to be sacred and yet had a hint of beauty, the six powerful Templar Knights holding greatswords beside her were heroic and majestic. The majestic and tall armored knight only glanced around, and the overflowing pressure made everyone in the hall dare not even breathe.

"Saint... Saint Lady..." Ralph stuttered a little. It must be poisonous. What is the Saint Lady of Light doing here? Does she want to be an adventurer too?

Ella nodded, then walked straight to Ye Xiao, took out a small handkerchief and wiped the blood off the tip of Ye Xiao's nose in full view of everyone, "Are you okay?"

Looking at the girl's soft and lovely face up close, Ye Xiao's face turned red inexplicably.

No, why am I blushing? I was clearly controlling myself to do this action!

Of course, this was done to hint to the imperial guards next to him that he also had a big brother and a big sister to support him. It was definitely not something Ye Xiao wanted to try.

Having said that, Ye Xiao still shifted his gaze slightly away.

It was very strange. Ye Xiao couldn't control his expression for some reason when looking at Ella... It was obviously the same person performing a double act. He could see her in the mirror every day. When she was taking a bath, he saw things she should see and things she shouldn't see... Why?

Ella turned around helplessly and returned her gaze to Captain Ralph, "Captain, has my friend committed any crime?"

Ralph swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling, but he finally mustered up the courage, "Saint... Saint Lady, this is a public security incident in the Imperial City after all... Even if it is the Holy Temple... you can't..."

"Haha." Ella covered her mouth and chuckled, "Captain may have forgotten what happened before I became a saint."

Looking at those gem-like red eyes, Ralph's memory seemed to be awakened a little.
