The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Perhaps it was because she hadn't done anything in the past few months, and her holy image was a little confusing, so Ralph had forgotten about it.

This girl was once the daughter of a duke who had committed many evil deeds and was ruthless!

Cold sweat broke out on Ralph's head. He suddenly remembered his colleagues who had their legs broken and thrown into the slave market just because the other party disliked them.

Behind the sacred and dignified figure of the girl in front of him, there seemed to be a huge devilish shadow.

Ralph immediately drew his sword, his eyes full of determination, and pointed at Luo Heng on the ground and shouted righteously, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and arrest this culprit!"

"Ah?" Luo Heng covered his blue face, looking confused.

Chapter 4 Employment

“Ahahaha, sorry brothers, I was just bewitched by this evil guy’s sweet words and lost my judgment for a moment.” Ralph touched his head and laughed. After bowing to Ella, Ye Xiao and the others, he fiercely pulled Luo Heng up from the ground and said, “Everyone, I’m going to arrest this criminal who dared to defy the laws of my imperial city. I’ll take my leave now... What are you doing? Hurry up and leave!”

"Woo...ah..." Luo Heng's face turned red and he gestured wildly with his hands, as if trying to say something.

But when his eyes met Ella's, it was only for a moment, then he turned pale, closed his mouth, trembling all over, and let Ralph lead him out of the guild hall.

"Captain...are we really going to put that yellow-haired foreigner in jail?" a guard whispered in Ralph's ear.

"Nonsense, what else?"

"But... doesn't he have a token from the Marquis..."

"You are stupid. If we put him in jail and someone comes to take him away, we can say that we had to do this to save him from the angry Duke's daughter. The Marquis may even owe us a favor."

"Well, what if no one takes it?"

"If no one leads him, it means he's nothing. Why do you care about him?" Ralph knocked on the guard's helmet.

……

Seeing the imperial guards taking away Luo Heng and his small group of people and leaving in a large crowd, the adventurers and staff in the entire hall focused their attention on the outstanding girl and her "male friend".

There are melons, very big melons!

Everyone stared intently, as if they were both expecting and fearing something.

Even though Ye Xiao was a veteran, he felt awkward being stared at by so many people and couldn't help but cough twice.

Ella took a white package with a beautiful bow from the Templar and handed it to Ye Xiao with both hands.

Of course, that was not a precious gift, but the speech manuscript used for cheating.

But in the eyes of others, it seems to have some different meaning.

Plus, Ella's eyes are always so... affectionate and charming. It's really not that she wants to express any emotion, but her eyes give that feeling no matter how you look at them.

This feeling is especially evident when smiling.

"Ah..." Li Cheng made a suffocating sound and watched Ye Xiao take the "gift".

Ye Xiao held the package helplessly. He had no way of explaining what was inside. He could only nod and say thank you in a tone that tried to be a conversation between friends.

Ella nodded, then looked at Li Cheng and pointed at the box next to him, "It seems a bit crowded. Can we find a room to chat when we have time?"

Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, and pointed his finger at himself, "...Me?"

Otherwise, what can I talk about with myself... Ye Xiao patted Li Cheng's shoulder and said, "Let's book a private room. I'll pay for it."

"That... that's not possible." Li Cheng immediately puffed up his chest, hit Ye Xiao's chest, and whispered, "Sister-in-law's business is my business, how can I let Brother Xiong pay for it."

"What are you talking about..." Ye Xiao's mouth twitched, "It's not what you think..."

Li Cheng didn't say much, he knew Ye Xiao was shy, so he just hurried to greet the staff.

"Ah, about the damage to the hall," Ella spoke again and bowed to the approaching elf lady. "I'm sorry for my friends' impulsiveness. All the bills for the damage and lost work time will be charged to the Duke of Haiweier's Mansion. The medical expenses of the adventurers and the cost of tonight's meal will also be charged to the Duke's Mansion."

Duke Haiweier wouldn't mind this little money, Ella thought wickedly.

"Saint... Saint Lady!" The elf lady was somewhat delighted. Originally, the guards had left and no one was there to catch the troublemakers and compensate them. The guild might have deducted the cost of repairs from their wages, but the Saint Lady's generosity instantly solved their dilemma. She couldn't help but be extremely moved, "Thank you very much!"

"Woohoo!!" "Long live the Saint!!!" The adventurers who had a fight and got free drinks were even more excited.

The hall, which was apparently in a mess, now looked like a carnival, a sea of ​​joy.

……

The catering service in the Adventurer's Guild Hall is for ordinary adventurers. The nobles in the royal city usually dine in the manor and rarely eat out. Therefore, the Saint Lady can be said to be a "distinguished guest" that they have never received before.

The box with stone brick walls and not-so-luxurious decorations actually looked a bit shabby compared to Ella's attire.

However, the elf ladies discovered that the Duke's daughter, who was rumored to be somewhat arrogant and overbearing, seemed to be more approachable than they had imagined. She did not show much pickyness or disgust towards the guild's not-so-high-end tables, chairs and food. Instead, she chuckled naturally with her hands covering her mouth, and chatted and laughed with the adventurers whose clothes were untidy and stained, without any airs at all.

The elf lady with a golden ponytail put down her plate and saw the Saint smiling at her. She couldn't help but blush and smiled back in good faith, then excitedly left the room.

Outside the room, six Templar Knights stood at the door like statues, without saying a word.

"You are so well-mannered... Lady Saint." The elf lady stroked her chest which was beating like a deer. Even though the Templar Knight who passed by exuded an intimidating aura, it did not prevent her heart from being filled with warmth and happiness.

In the room, Ella reluctantly moved her gaze from the door back to the table.

Wow, the dish that the elf lady just brought was too big and not white enough.

"Lady Saint, you have invited us specially because we have something we need." Li Cheng tried hard to control his eyes from wandering.

Li Cheng likes to talk nonsense when facing beautiful girls, but once the other party is upgraded to a "goddess" in his mind, he will start to stutter.

Fortunately, thanks to Ella's friendliness and easy-going attitude, Li Cheng was finally able to speak complete sentences.

"Yes, Mr. Li Cheng, I do have something to ask of you." Ella said gently, "We have met before. I remember you were not so reserved last time."

"Hahaha, that's..." Li Cheng recalled what he said when he first met Ella a few days ago, and he wanted to slap himself in the face out of embarrassment.

"I would like to hire you to help me investigate several missing cases that have occurred in the imperial city recently." Ella said with a slightly serious expression and a dignified manner.

"Missing cases?" Li Cheng touched his chin. His admiration for Ella did not mean that he would ignore the safety of his friends. Therefore, when he heard about the topic related to the mission, he would still think seriously. "I seem to have heard something about it. Can you ask the Saint Lady why she is investigating this matter and why she hired us to investigate it?"

Chapter 5: The Saint's Mission

Ella nodded, moistened her throat, and said, "Mr. Li Cheng, have you heard about the evil god summoning ceremony that took place in the Imperial City seven days ago?"

"Um, I'm new here and haven't heard of this." Li Cheng scratched his head embarrassedly.

"It was a dark cult organization called 'Shepherds of Darkness'. They gathered hundreds of followers and innocent victims in a dungeon outside the imperial city for a blood sacrifice in order to summon the evil god recorded in a book of sorcery."

"On the surface, the news of this incident spread widely, but because the believers involved included many nobles and residents of the imperial city, the nobles of the imperial palace deliberately concealed and suppressed the spread of some details of the incident."

"One of the details is that when the Holy Temple arrived at the scene, they did not find the book that recorded the contents of the ritual for summoning the evil god. In other words, the book disappeared from the scene."

Ella finished speaking, elegantly picking up the teacup on the table and taking a sip.

Then she unexpectedly found that this tea with a bitter and fishy taste and residue was surprisingly difficult to swallow, and her expression suddenly became a little tense.

It’s strange, why can I drink the same tea with gusto as Ye Xiao, but I can’t drink it at all as Ella?

It was the first time she realized that although they were both herself, the two bodies had different eating preferences.

Could it be that Ella's taste for tea has become too picky because of the expensive tea she drinks every day?

However, it would be a bit ungentlemanly to spit it out, so Ella gritted her teeth and swallowed the tea with the tea leaves still in it.

"Missing..." Li Cheng scratched his head. "Lady Saint wants us to help find that book?"

"No, I don't want you to get too deeply involved." Ella's expression was slightly serious, and she calmly pushed the cup of unpalatable tea in front of Ye Xiao. "In fact, I have to remind you that anything involving the evil god is very dangerous, including the book that records the evil arts."

As she spoke, she moved the small bowl of vegetable soup that Ye Xiao had scooped out with a small spoon for a long time to her side. "It's just that the recent disappearances are somewhat similar to the disappearances of residents in the settlements outside the imperial city before the evil god summoning ceremony. I suspect that the remnants of the Dark Cult may be secretly trying to use that book to continue their evil deeds."

"Therefore, I hope to entrust you to collect and investigate information about the missing persons for me. I told you about the classics just to let you know that there are very dangerous factors hidden behind this matter. Therefore, I hope you can just collect information for me, and the subsequent actions will be carried out by the Holy Temple."

"I roughly understand, thank you for your frankness, Lady Saint. But... why did Lady Saint choose us?" Li Cheng asked puzzledly.

"Because of the Pilgrimage Festival, the church has a lot of affairs to deal with recently and is short of manpower. We are worried about how to find extra helpers." Ella stroked the edge of the soup bowl with her fingers. "On the other hand, although it is not strict, this commission also has some confidentiality requirements. Seeing that you are quite familiar with Mr. Ye, I think you should be more trustworthy. In addition, I promise that the reward for the commission will satisfy you."

Ella hopes to train a team that can help her do some non-dangerous but tedious tasks outside the temple, such as investigating intelligence or collecting materials and props. Compared with some unfamiliar adventurers, her old friends who are already familiar to her will obviously be more reliable.

Later on, I can also use the name of the saint to entrust them with some tasks that the system will give generous rewards for.

[Trigger team mission: Investigate clues to the missing case]

[Mission Briefing: The Holy Lady of Light hopes that you can help collect information about disappearances in settlements outside the Imperial City]

[Task Difficulty: Easy]

[Task Reward: Gold Coins*100 (decreases based on client satisfaction), General Points*300 (decreases based on completion), Cult (?) Reputation*200 (decreases based on completion)]

"Fuck, one hundred..." As soon as Li Cheng said this, he realized that he seemed a little rude and quickly covered his mouth. For him, this reward was a bit too exaggerated. He had completed so many tasks before, and the most he got was a dozen silver coins. This was the first time he saw a task that directly rewarded gold coins and such a large amount.

Ye Xiao, who had already established a team, also saw this task prompt and was stunned.

Can Ella actually issue tasks to players?

There are also general point rewards from the system. Does this mean that the system recognizes the legitimacy of the tasks issued by Ella?

Is there a way to get universal points?

Ye Xiao thought of this operation almost immediately, but after looking at the small reward given by the system, he thought it seemed a bit too little. A team of more than a dozen people completed the task and only got 300 general points together, which was just better than nothing.

However, it is still worth studying later how the content and form of the task release affects the system rewards.

There is also a cult reputation, but no one knows what it is. Ye Xiao has seen rewards such as the reputation of the Temple of Light or the reputation of a certain Temple of All Gods in his previous life, but he doesn't quite understand what this "cult (? )" refers to for the time being.

Ye Xiao tacitly picked up the teacup that Ella moved over and took a sip. Suddenly, he noticed the subtle looks from everyone and couldn't help but cough lightly.

"Thank you for your generosity, Saint. We will accept this commission." Li Cheng stood up and clasped his hands to Ella.

"No, no, I should thank you all," Ella nodded with a smile, "It helped me a lot to be able to take on this job."

"Also, I have a small request. I wonder if Her Majesty the Saint can agree to it."

"What request?" Ella asked curiously.

"Lady Saint, can you give me your autograph?" Li Cheng couldn't wait to spread out his palms, and a handkerchief and a feather pen appeared in his hands.

"Hey, was this taken out from the space ring?" Ella asked in pretended surprise.

In fact, the corners of her mouth were already twitching uncontrollably - don't waste your universal points on buying useless stuff like this in the system mall, you bastard! !

"Hahaha, it's a similar tool." Li Cheng laughed with a red face.

Ella took the handkerchief with a smile and signed on it with a feather pen in her delicate handwriting. Her writing habits were inherited from her predecessor, so her elegant handwriting was very aristocratic.

The alien fonts written by Ye Xiao are almost the same as ghost paintings. The system is only responsible for helping players recognize words, not for helping players practice writing.

Li Cheng took the handkerchief, folded it carefully and stuffed it into the interlayer of his inner armor.

"You're chasing stars in this different world?" Ye Xiao looked at him speechlessly, "How about I sign one for you?"

"Get out of here, who wants your crappy signature?" Li Cheng snorted.

"Um... Lady Saint... can you sign one for me too?"

Suddenly, a slightly rough voice came from the other side of the dining table. Ella looked over and saw a burly man with a smooth head taking out a delicate handkerchief that was obviously not something he would carry with him, and looking at her expectantly.

Don't waste your utility points! ! Ella was screaming in her heart, but she still smiled and took the handkerchief with shaking hands.

"Ah...Lady Saint, can I also..." "Lady Saint, please, I want to too..." The next second, voices came one after another.

So much so that Ella's smile froze.

It’s not over yet!

Chapter 6: Arena

A group of people stood up and respectfully watched the petite silver-haired girl leave the room. The moment the door closed, they suddenly exploded.

"Brother Ye, what the hell, how did you manage to hook up with the Saint Lady?!" Li Cheng finally couldn't hold it in any longer and put his arms around Ye Xiao's neck, almost suffocating him.

"What do you mean by hooking up... We're just ordinary friends..." Ye Xiao pushed away Li Cheng's strong arms, "Not as many as you think."

Well, the actual situation is actually more complicated than Li Cheng imagined.

"Nonsense, why can't I be treated as an ordinary friend?!"

"She also called your friend," Ye Xiao shrugged, "If you don't believe me, you can go ask."

"What the hell are you asking? If they really answer 'yes' it's only because they are well-educated." Li Cheng took out a huge wine barrel from under the table, "Damn it, you can't leave until you have enough to drink tonight!"
