The Villain Saint is my secondary account

For Ye Xiao, who was on the wide rooftop, it was not a problem for him to dodge the remaining light balls floating up with his skills.

The flying debris frightened the civilians in the alley and caused them to flee in all directions. Although the alley was not crowded, it still posed an obstacle for the black-robed magician who was running in the narrow alley.

Ye Xiao took the opportunity to jump down from the building and landed accurately on the thin back of the black-robed figure. He swung the staff in his hand and directly knocked the staff out of the other person's hand.

The figure let out a soft cry, then raised his hand, and golden light actually gathered in his palm.

Another strong holy light impact spread out, and Ye Xiao was thrown off the opponent's body and fell to the ground. He rolled twice before standing up in embarrassment.

Shit, no chanting, no staff and instant casting, what kind of affinity is this, the son of the God of Light! ?

Ye Xiao was amazed in his heart, but his hands did not stop moving. He held the stick across his body with his left hand, while his right hand secretly grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist.

The other party had no intention of killing him, but he was too strong, so he had to take it seriously.

The slightly shorter black-robed magician seemed to realize that it would not be so easy for him to escape unless he killed Ye Xiao, so he slowly stood up, stretched out his hand and waved it, and the staff that fell beside him was wrapped in golden light and flew back into his palm. By the way, the golden light also rotated a circle and washed away the dust stuck on the other party's black robe.

The delicate and smooth control of the holy light made Ye Xiao increasingly aware of the complexity of his opponent.

However, this also made him more confused as to why the top leaders of the temple would appear in this place.

But no matter what, it's obvious that it's not a legitimate reason - how can a clergyman who is associated with the deeds of evil gods be a good person?

Of course, this does not include guys who are both priests and evil gods. Ye Xiao thought hypocritically.

Seeing the other party's eyes hidden under the black hood and high collar locked on him, the holy light began to gather on the staff in his hand, and Ye Xiao also took out a bottle of physical strength enhancing medicine from the space ring and held it in his mouth.

The air seemed to be stagnant, and the civilians around them had already run away without a trace. Only the two of them were quietly confronting each other in the narrow and dirty alley, until Ye Xiao spat out the empty bottle of medicine.

"Come on, you beasts of the temple!"

As the words he had shouted countless times in his previous life came out again, a ray of holy light came towards him.

Ye Xiao leaped up to avoid the huge shock wave, but saw that the light of the magician's staff was still condensing.

Double casting, the holy light shock just now was just a spell released casually by the opponent's left hand. After the staff was swung, the second spell followed closely.

A dazzling golden magic circle unfolded from the ground, and countless thin chains rushed into the sky like a swarm of rushing snakes.

Ye Xiao immediately kicked the wall and rushed towards the magician like an arrow, while drawing his sword and slashing continuously.

As his body tumbled, the chains that were entangled around him were all broken by the sharp blade. Ye Xiao fell diagonally half a foot in front of the sorcerer along the moving chains, took half a step forward and slashed horizontally with the blade.

However, the indestructible blade made a crisp sound of metal clashing and stopped on the holy light shield opened in the magician's left hand.

The opponent swung his staff, but he was not going to use it to hit people like Ye Xiao did. Instead, he suddenly summoned a sword blade that was emitting a glowing light from the tip of the staff.

Ye Xiao's eyes widened slightly, and he turned his body along the arc drawn by the sword blade and bent down at the same time, finally avoiding the sword light at the critical moment.

The magic circle on the ground immediately rotated, and the newly summoned chains rose from Ye Xiao's feet, waving like countless vines and surrounding him.

The black-robed magician took the opportunity to swing his staff, and the sword light extending from the tip of the staff slashed towards Ye Xiao like the god of death's scythe.

Ye Xiao just sheathed the knife, closed his eyes slightly, and took a deep breath.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The broken buildings, the swaying chains, the waving lightsabers, the rising smoke and dust, the chaotic air currents, everything in the scene was split in half by a blade of light in the next second.

The scene in front of my eyes seemed to be broken at this moment, and a straight line divided the field of vision into two.

Time flowed again, and the air currents on the path cut by the blade instantly spread to both sides like a storm, blowing Ye Xiao's cloak fluttering.

Because the opponent had no intention of killing before - of course, the last few waves when he forced others into a corner did not count, Ye Xiao did not choose to directly chop off the head with a horizontal blow, but instead chopped the chains and the staff in the opponent's hand diagonally upwards. At the same time, the subsequent sword energy only cut the eaves of a few low houses and flew into the sky, avoiding affecting civilians who were not in his field of vision.

Perhaps it was because this sword skill was too fierce, the sorcerer whose hood was cut off suddenly felt his legs go weak and he knelt on the ground, and the staff in his hand broke into two pieces.

Thanks to the improvement in his physical strength attribute, Ye Xiao, who successfully performed a grandmaster-level sword-drawing slash with the bonus of the strengthening medicine, did not become exhausted directly, but he still quickly took out a bottle of physical strength potion and drank it.

[Increases potion effect by 5%]

What do you mean, broken system, mocking me for taking medicine frequently, right?

The veins on Ye Xiao's forehead bulged slightly, but he didn't have time to care about the madness of the system. While the black-robed magician was stunned, he hurried forward and pinned him down.

"You've been scared like this by just one knife. How dare you, a wimp, learn to be a spy like others?" Ye Xiao was merciless as he rode on the opponent's waist. He was never reluctant to mock his defeated opponents.

Martial ethics are martial ethics, and verbal ethics are verbal ethics. The two are unrelated.

She pulled back the hood, revealing her long golden curly hair that spread out like a pink puff. Her delicate and pretty face, like a porcelain doll, was flushed under the collar, and her watery eyes were like jasper submerged in a clear lake.

This familiar face instantly made Ye Xiao feel unwell.

What the hell...Freya!?

Ye Xiaoteng stood up suddenly.

But that's not right. Theoretically, it was Ella who knew her, not me, Ye Xiao. I shouldn't show such surprise.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiao subconsciously wanted to ride back - wait, it would seem even weirder to ride back now! ?

This unexpected "acquaintance" made Ye Xiao's thoughts a little confused.

But fortunately, Freya was still in a daze.

The fleeting brilliance just now made her feel the fear of having brushed shoulders with death.

Her instinct told her that if the angle of the knife was tilted just a little bit, she would be dead.

Freya, who has been under the protection of the temple for many years, has fought against the Dark Cult and the minions of the devil, but most of the time she was defeated easily. When facing more powerful enemies, the high priests and elders would support her.

Now that she was finally left alone to face the danger, she realized that the fear of death could be so real.

Ye Xiao walked around the poor candidate saint lady, wondering if her reaction was a bit too exaggerated, when he saw the tip of Freya's nose tremble slightly on her usually cold face.

"My Lord, I admit that I was a bit rude, but I think that as a professional warrior, it is important to control your emotions on the battlefield..."

Freya pursed her lips as if trying to control herself, but two lines of tears slid down her face uncontrollably.

Ye Xiao held his forehead with his hand. He really couldn't stand it.

If it was the kind of vicious enemy, he would rush up and slap them in the face, "Stop crying, don't waste my time, or I'll chop off your fingers!"

But looking at the beautiful girl with tears in her eyes, I still couldn't bring myself to do it.

Chapter 11 A Brief Alliance

"I'm telling you, even though I didn't tie you up, you lost the fight, so you've been captured by me, and you have to follow the rules of a prisoner."

Freya followed Ye Xiao silently, putting her hood back on and pulling her collar high to cover most of her face.

She was in mixed feelings, feeling somewhat ashamed and annoyed for her performance just now. Looking at the culprit who had ruined her image walking leisurely in front of her, she couldn't help but puff out her lips and kick a small stone on the ground.

"Hey! Don't kick rocks at me. Where is your character?"

Ye Xiao's scalp tingled and he felt like he was coaxing a child.

The two of them walked through the chaotic streets made up of bungalows. Although the battle was over, it was not a suitable place to talk in public. Besides, Ye Xiao had to rush back to confirm the safety of his companions.

Fortunately, Freya was still honest. Although she refused to say a word, the fact that she followed Ye Xiao silently showed that she had compromised.

On the one hand, she couldn't escape without her staff, and on the other hand, she also realized that Ye Xiao was not the enemy she needed to deal with.

It was just some emotional issues that made her not really want to talk to this stinky man.

On the way back to the broken house, Ye Xiao saw Li Cheng and two other team players rushing over.

Since there were no serious injuries, they hurried over to provide support after simply bandaging him. However, when they saw the black-robed magician following Ye Xiao obediently, they were a little confused.

"Brother Ye, are you... done?" Li Cheng asked, touching the slightly swollen back of his head.

"I find your words a little strange." Ye Xiao's mouth twitched, and he pointed at Freya behind him with his thumb. "This guy is not an enemy. He is probably just a little mute, so it is difficult to communicate with him."

"You are the mute." Freya finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"So it's a girl?" Because Freya was wearing a large cloak like a raincoat, and most of her face was covered, other information about her body shape could not be seen except her short stature. It was no wonder that Li Cheng was a little surprised.

"It's OK as long as you are willing to speak. At least I don't have to learn sign language." Ye Xiao shrugged, "Why don't you introduce yourself?"

Freya didn't want to pay attention to Ye Xiao and directly threw something into Ye Xiao's hand.

Ye Xiao subconsciously caught it and found that it was a wooden statue.

The statue depicts a tall and thin demon with extremely large hands. Ye Xiao found it surprisingly familiar at first glance, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

"This is the statue in the wall of the house you broke into." Freya explained softly, her voice pleasant and calm like a cold spring. "The owner of the house, Mr. Abbott Fell, is worshipping this thing."

"Worshiping the devil?" Li Cheng came close to Ye Xiao and stared at the item in his hand. "Don't you guys in the temple care about this?"

"The lost lamb will return to God's guidance at the end of the road." Freya said coldly.

"What does she mean?" Li Cheng asked in a low voice in Ye Xiao's ear.

"It means that the Holy Temple doesn't bother to care about these little people." Ye Xiao translated, "It's not like they can make any money."

Li Cheng nodded in understanding.

"That's not what I meant!" Freya almost lost control of her voice as she looked at the two idiots, one asking random questions and the other explaining random things. "Haven't you read the chapel handouts? This is the original text given by Undine!"

"Who has nothing better to do than to watch that?" Ye Xiao shrugged. "I'm not a clergyman."

Of course, he didn't dare to say that some famous clergyman today also didn't watch it.

"Don't distort the interpretation if you haven't read it!"

Freya was so angry that her chest swelled slightly, but fortunately, her good upbringing allowed her to finally control her emotions and slowly calm down - don't bother with these faithless outsiders!

"Forget it, I won't discuss this with you... This wooden statue is engraved with the image of the original sin demon 'Greed'," she chose to change the subject, "If you know the history of the temple... Forget it, you definitely don't know. In short, you just need to understand that this demon image is now worshipped by many secret societies or organizations engaged in evil activities. Rather than being a belief, it is more like a symbol of the pursuit of money."

"I understand. To put it simply, everyone secretly worships this thing as the God of Wealth." Ye Xiao summarized.

Li Cheng was a little confused. "A devil being the God of Wealth... that's too weird."

"There are real gods in this world, and there is no god of gold coins among the real gods. People who want to ask for money can only find some unconventional ways to worship." Ye Xiao was not surprised.

"Your weird explanation is not a reason to believe in heresy." Freya was a little dissatisfied.

"Then you have to convince the God of Light to give them gold coins first." Ye Xiao did not give in at all.

"Ahem." Seeing that there seemed to be some tension between the two, Li Cheng quickly tried to smooth things over, "Then, sir from the Holy Hall, are you here to investigate the missing persons case as well?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you anything." Freya said unhappily, "Anyway, I've already told you what the statue means. I'm just repaying this guy for not killing him."

"You guys, your life is only worth the backstory of a statue, right?"

"I haven't told you yet that you broke my staff!"

"Okay, okay, don't worry," Li Cheng felt very strange. How could he change from a captain to a peacemaker? "Well, let me be honest. We were commissioned to investigate the missing person. If you are also commissioned, I think there is still room for us to try to cooperate."

From Li Cheng's perspective, although he didn't know much about this figure in the temple, as an indigenous person, he had a professional understanding of these religious myths. A cooperative investigation would definitely allow him to obtain more useful information. So when he saw that the other party's position was not an opposition, he became interested in cooperating.

As mentioned earlier, Li Cheng's logic and analytical skills may not be as good as Ye Xiao's, but he has a leadership talent and can subconsciously judge which people can be won over as partners.

Freya thought for a long time. In fact, she was mainly here to investigate Ella Seavel, but she definitely couldn't tell this to these guys whose origins were still unclear.

However, it is not so easy for her to sort out the clues from these complicated missing information cases by herself. Now it is also involved in the secret society that believes in the devil. God knows how complicated the intertwining is.

If she could have some helpers, even if their ultimate goals were different, they could still provide a lot of help to her who is now alone.

Of course, Freya didn’t know that Li Cheng and his team’s client was the Holy Maiden of Light, otherwise she would not be considering how to cooperate but how to fight.

"...How do you want to cooperate?" Freya finally made a decision.

Chapter 12 Five Finger Bar

There is no need to go into details about the tedious discussions on the cooperation. In short, Ye Xiao and others learned from Freya that no decent sculptor would be willing to produce such a forbidden statue openly, and its circulation and source are usually limited to some secret channels.

Therefore, how to find this channel within the imperial city is their breakthrough.

It would definitely be time-consuming and laborious to inquire around the huge imperial city settlement one by one. Fortunately, Ye Xiao already has a very reliable plan for this.

After recovering some of his strength in the afternoon, he rode his horse to the "Five Fingers" tavern in the East District of the Imperial City, walked in, and with the memory of his previous life, he lined up two silver coins on the bar, then knocked on the edge of the table three times and whispered:

"My friend told me that the Highland cocktail here is good. Would you like to have a cup?"

The bartender looked at Ye Xiao, who was wearing a black windbreaker. He took a few bottles of wine and swished them around, then pushed a wooden cup filled with blue liquid in front of Ye Xiao.

While the bartender was pushing the wine, Ye Xiao grabbed the other person's wrist, leaned forward and said in a very low voice, "I'm looking for the one with the broken finger."

After saying that, he let go of the bartender's hand and rapped his knuckles on the edge of the table twice more.

The bartender was not annoyed by Ye Xiao's action. He just glanced at Ye Xiao, picked up the towel to wipe the wrist that had just been held, and turned to walk backstage.
