The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"Can't we add two? That's too inflexible."

"In order to facilitate identification, the meaning of the guild name cannot be too similar to the name of an already registered guild." Looking at Li Cheng who was pestering her, the beautiful elf lady said helplessly.

"Then...what about the 'Saint Lady's Fan Club'?"

"No, it's hard to tell them apart." The Elf lady said bitterly, "There are already several guilds with similar names. We can't add any more."

"Damn it! How can this be possible?" Li Cheng covered his face with his hands.

"Brother, what are you...doing?" Although he had probably guessed it, Ye Xiao still couldn't help but patted Li Cheng on the shoulder and asked.

"Hey, Brother Ye, that's great. Come over here and help me think of something." Li Chengru hugged Ye Xiao as if he had found a savior. "You are good at Chinese. Help me think of some good names like 'Saint Lady Supporters Association' so that we can change the name of our guild."

"I just want to smash your head off."

Ye Xiao first apologized to Miss Elf, and then dragged President Li Cheng away from the front desk without saying anything.

"Hey, goodbye, Brother Ye, everyone has voted in favor..." Li Cheng, unwilling to give up, looked helplessly at the elf lady behind the counter waving goodbye to him.

"Is your private room ready? Don't tell me you're here to harass the front desk as soon as you get here. You haven't even booked a room yet."

"Of course, Xiao Deng is very efficient." Seeing that changing his name was hopeless, Li Cheng stopped struggling, "Are these two suspicious cloaked men beside you your new friends?"

Because Ella and Grettia were both relatively small in stature, Li Cheng, who was about 1.8 meters tall, could only see the top of their hoods.

"A new friend and an old friend, let me introduce them to you."

"Oh, yes, yes, gentlemen. Excuse me, could I take up a moment of your time?" Li Cheng suddenly pulled out two pieces of papyrus from his small bag and stuffed them into the hands of the bewildered Gratia and the equally bewildered Ella. "I hope to tell you about our savior and god, the Saint Lady..."

It's over. Ye Xiao felt that his buddy was completely hopeless.

Chapter 60 New Commission

Li Cheng, who was chattering nonstop, led the three of them into the box. Seeing the familiar faces toasting each other in the room and greeting him in unison, Ye Xiao suddenly felt a sense of nostalgia and warmth of being back home.

He couldn't help but smile. If wandering in a foreign world is full of dangerous adventures, lonely explorations and life-threatening struggles, then the small gatherings after each adventure would probably be his only salvation.

"Ah, I accidentally said too much," Li Cheng scratched his head, "Brother Ye, can you introduce these two friends to everyone?"

"Okay, this is the one I met during this investigation." Ye Xiaoxian pointed to the little maid next to him, "You can call her Gratia."

In fact, Ye Xiao was a little hesitant at first about whether or not to introduce this demon to his friends.

But on second thought, he was still a member of Li Cheng's guild. If Gratia really wanted to find out the information about people related to him, it would be very easy, so it would be easy to find out even without introducing others.

It would be better to be more frank, at least during a friendly period, being honest with others might even increase their favorability.

On the other hand, Ye Xiao also hoped that after getting to know each other, Grettia would be able to take care of his guild friends in the future - to some extent, this guy was still a big local boss in the imperial city.

"Gretia...? Girl?"

Before she finished her words, the little maid took off her hood, untied her cloak, and greeted everyone with a faint smile.

Gratia's cute and flawless baby face is also stunningly beautiful, with long pink and white hair and a pair of crystal golden pupils that make everyone unable to take their eyes off her.

"...Brother Ye, you are awesome!" Li Cheng patted Ye Xiao on the shoulder, "How come you have more and more girls around you after traveling through time... But even though I am your brother, I still want to ask, aren't you afraid that the Saint Lady will punish you if you do this?"

"Why are you doing this? They are just ordinary friends." Ye Xiao frowned.

"There are more and more girls? Which girls are there?" Gretia suddenly frowned, grabbed the corner of Ye Xiao's clothes and asked vigilantly.

"Don't listen to him, he just likes to talk nonsense... If it's not right, why should I explain it to you?"

"You're just an ordinary friend now that she's a maid. You can't treat me like a fool!" Li Cheng opened his hands, as if gesturing something. "Don't blame me for not reminding you. The Saint Lady is very powerful after she turns evil. I won't be able to help you when she summons such a big tentacle to whip you."

It turns out that you are the one who spread Ella's evil deeds outside! Ye Xiao's mouth twitched.

"Cough cough." Ella couldn't help but cough lightly.

She felt that if she didn't interrupt Li Cheng, the situation would become unmanageably awkward by the time she said hello.

Even though it's embarrassing now.

When Li Cheng heard this extremely familiar voice, he was stunned at first, and then his whole body froze.

It can be said that Li Cheng is worthy of his name. He can accurately identify the source of the sound based on such a small cough.

"Ah, this isn't...hahahaha, what a coincidence." Li Cheng finally used his hands, which had nowhere to put, to fix his hair. At the same time, he glanced at Ye Xiao who was standing beside him: "Fuck, Brother Ye...you didn't mean it."

"You can't blame me. I can't stop your machine gun-like mouth." Ye Xiao held his forehead with his hand.

Ella took off her hood, and her long silver hair, as smooth as the first snow, fell over her shoulders.

Her eyebrows were slightly raised on her pretty face, and her pair of bright red eyes were still as captivating as ever.

"Good evening, everyone."

"Hello, Lady Saint!" "Hello, Lady Saint..." The trembling greetings came one after another, and the warm atmosphere of the crowd just now became visibly frozen.

"This is not the first time we've met, so you don't have to be so reserved." Ella said softly, "I just want to entrust you with some other things. If you feel uncomfortable, I can leave in a while."

"Oh, no, no, no..." Li Cheng immediately came to Ella with a cup of tea in his hand, "Lady Saint, your arrival really makes my humble home more glorious. As..."

"This is the room of the Adventure Guild. You can't use it like this." Ye Xiao corrected.

"Don't interrupt me!" Li Cheng paused, "Oh... then what was I going to say?"

Ye Xiao shrugged. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Gretia was squinting at Ella. Her inexplicably funny expression reminded him of a cat protecting its cubs. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss Maid, what are you doing?"

"Hmph." Gratia ignored Ye Xiao.

What's going on? This guy is getting weirder and weirder.

Finally, after some conversation, the atmosphere in the room gradually became lively again.

After all, Ella and Ye Xiao are the same person. She is very familiar with the nature of her friends and naturally will not put on airs. After a few words, the sense of alienation among the crowd was somewhat alleviated.

But after all, everyone had witnessed Ella's devastating power in the square. Even though the players were visitors from another world and did not have the same prejudice against the "evil god" as the locals, it was still difficult not to maintain a respectful attitude.

All I can say is that it’s a good thing that Ye Xiao still has this identity. Ye Xiao has no choice, otherwise no matter how hard Ella tries to get along with them, this gap will be insurmountable.

But Ella didn't come here to have fun after all, so Ye Xiao could take care of the living a life of debauchery.

After Ye Xiao told the adventure story of Hope Town in a concise and slightly modified way and completed the delivery process of the "investigation mission", he received a prompt from the system that "the mission was completed".

Then, Ella informed everyone about the new commission.

"This time, the commission is actually to go to Storm Harbor with everyone." Ella's light and pleasant voice echoed around the table. "I wonder if everyone has heard of the legend of Undine, the goddess of rivers and oceans."

"I remember that the deity that Her Majesty the Saint is talking about is a deity worshipped by the Temple of All Gods. Most of his believers should be scattered along the coastal areas?" Li Cheng replied.

"Great, Li Cheng, you actually know this." Ye Xiao exclaimed.

"Don't treat me like a fool, okay?" Li Cheng punched Ye Xiao on the shoulder. "I did collect some relatively simple information about local culture and religious meanings. These things can sometimes have a big impact on the mission."

What Li Cheng said was indeed correct. In his previous life, when the guild encountered difficulties in missions, he often relied on asking around for information to solve them.

"Mr. Li is right." Ella nodded. "Although the main belief of the people on this continent is the great God of Light, there are many righteous gods under his command who are in charge of different divine powers. Fishermen and boatmen in coastal areas may therefore be more inclined to believe in Undine."

"The holy spring of the Cathedral of Loren is made from the essence of holy water that the bishops of the Cathedral of the Sea prayed to the Goddess of the Sea, Undine, for blessings. Every year during the pilgrimage festival, the envoys from the Cathedral of the Sea would offer part of the essence of holy water that they prayed for that year to the Cathedral."

"But this year, the envoys from the Ocean Temple did not arrive at the Loren Temple. They were previously busy with the Pilgrimage Festival and the situation of the high priest... I'm sure you all know this, so I only learned about the Ocean Temple group when I was organizing the cleanup and taking inventory later."

Chapter 61: Deja Vu

"Normally, it is unusual for someone to be absent from such a grand festival without informing the Ocean Cathedral in advance. Therefore, as early as yesterday's dinner, the elder in charge of reception at the Grand Cathedral discovered this situation and contacted the Ocean Cathedral using the text message crystal."

"The reply from the Ocean Cathedral was that they had already sent out an envoy several days ago. After receiving our message, they found that they could not contact the priests of the envoy."

"They sent people to search until this evening, when they finally replied, saying that they had found traces of the envoys in a village outside Storm Harbor."

"Also, due to unknown circumstances, the Ocean Cathedral has not been able to obtain the holy water essence from the Ocean Goddess Undine for several months. They were so busy with this matter that they had no choice but to ask for manpower support from the Grand Cathedral."

As for why she entrusted the Adventure Guild, the main reason was that Ella was unfamiliar with Storm Harbor and the Ocean Sanctuary.

The investigation inside the Ocean Temple can be conducted with the limited manpower of the Loren Temple Envoys, but the investigation outside the temple, including the investigation into the wilderness outside the city where the envoys disappeared and investigations that may involve local villagers, needs to be entrusted to an adventure guild with a more down-to-earth identity. Compared to the local adventure guild, Ella would naturally prefer to ask Li Cheng and others who know them well for help.

Since this generous Saint Lady delivered the last investigation mission so readily, and since she trusted Ella after the incident in the Cathedral Square, Li Cheng naturally agreed with pleasure.

Of course, what Li Cheng didn't know was that since Ye Xiao had spent all of the Saint's recent pocket money, the gold coin reward that the Saint paid to their guild was actually paid out of Ye Xiao's own pocket from the rewards for the two tasks he had just completed.

After explaining the tasks and exchanging pleasantries for a while, Ella said goodbye to everyone and left the room.

After Ella left, Li Cheng let out a long sigh and relaxed.

"What's the matter? You look so relieved." Ye Xiao teased.

"Then you have to be more reserved when the Saint Lady is here and leave a good impression," Li Cheng stretched, "No one wants to be disliked by their idol."

"Maybe you've already been disliked, but people just don't say it."

"If there is, it's definitely because of you!" Li Cheng asked the waiter to bring up the wine barrel. "By the way, why don't you send your maid home first? If you delay too late, it will be unsafe for others to go home."

"I want to drink too." However, Gratia disagreed.

"Is this true? How old are you? It's inappropriate, right?" Li Cheng asked doubtfully.

"Don't worry, even if ten of you were added together, she's still not as big as you... Hey! Am I not telling the truth? Hey, ah ah ah..."

……

Not to mention the excitement on Ye Xiao's side, after Ella returned to the temple in a carriage, she greeted the guard at the door and rushed to the tower used to temporarily detain prisoners.

Now her authority in the Holy Temple of Loren has been greatly increased. Compared with the past when she only had the title of a saint but had to ask for permission from the high priest for everything, now Ella is truly recognized by the clergy.

Now the position of Archbishop of Loren is temporarily held by an experienced elder named Holmes. He was previously the managing elder of the Ceremonial Hall and was also the elder who conducted a spiritual test on Ella a few days ago.

As the first witness of Ella's coronation, this person basically grants Ella's every request.

When Ella saw the tall tower used to seal objects and imprison prisoners again, she suddenly realized that she had seen the image of the little devil on the sculpture made by Mammon on the sculpture of this tower.

The strange combination of the huge hand and the skinny body was exactly one of the ones suppressed by the sword-wielding angel carved on the top of the tower.

Since this demon represents "greed", maybe the other demons also have corresponding symbols? So, the hermaphroditic demon might be "Slaanesh"? The one with a big belly might represent "Taotie"? ...

Ella walked into the tower thoughtfully. Maybe she could ask the elders to interpret the meaning of the statues outside the tower in the future.

She originally wanted to see if she could use this opportunity to release Dean, the butler who had helped her before, but she unexpectedly learned that Dean had been detained yesterday and was now estimated to be on his way to Storm Harbor.

There is still a Ken Betis imprisoned in the dungeon. Although he was caught molesting the saint and is suspected of colluding with the Institute of Engineering, it is not a serious crime. As the second prince of the Loren Empire, at most he will be locked up in the dungeon to teach him a lesson, but it is unlikely that anyone will really do anything to him.

I guess he will be released on "Judgment Day" tomorrow.

In the temple handouts, the Pilgrimage Festival commemorates the day when the God of Light took the throne of the gods, and the following day, "Judgment Day", is the day when the God of Light will settle accounts with the old gods who have done evil in the temple.

However, this day is only named because of the story in the church sermon, and it is not considered a festival.

Even the Pilgrimage Day is commemorated only by the Cathedral of Loren due to some historical reasons, while the great cathedrals in other regions commemorate different days, such as the birthday of the God of Light, the Creation Day of the God of Light, and so on. There seems to be influence of historical and geographical factors, but these things are not directly explained in the handouts. Most of them are passed down orally from generation to generation by different priests of the great cathedrals. Even now, they themselves may not understand it, so Ella does not understand it very well.

As for the holy city of Morningstar Ridge, it is probably like an enhanced version of Jerusalem for these various great cathedrals.

But for some reason, when Ella linked "Judgment Day" and "Ken Bettis" together, some forgotten memory seemed to flash through her mind.

It's like a dream that you forget completely the moment you wake up. When you lean against the bed, you are still trying to recall the interesting scenes in the dream, but when you get out of bed, put on your slippers and go into the bathroom, it's like an eraser has quietly wiped out that part of the memory.

When you encounter something related to certain elements in the dream in real life, it may be a scene or even just a thought, which will make you feel familiar.

Ella has this subtle feeling now, but no matter how hard she tries, she can't remember what the connection is between "Judgment Day" and that despicable Second Prince.

However, Ella was not here to find the Second Prince tonight. In fact, she had no interest in communicating with the birdman. The other party had been in the prison and could not see what was happening in the Cathedral Square at all. At most, he felt the floor shaking and thought there was an earthquake. Therefore, Ella was not worried that the other party would do something to her after he got out.

Going down the dungeon, what Ella really wanted to visit was High Priest Evans who was now imprisoned at the bottom.

Chapter 62: Soul Hacking

That's right, Ella didn't actually kill him - after all, although Evans was crazy, Ella thought it was necessary to find out some of the information he revealed today.

If we kill this guy in such a muddle, we might miss some important information.

In fact, during the day, if people paid attention, they could see that the high priest's belly was slightly rising and falling when he was lying on the steps, but he was not dead in the end. Many people who survived the disaster and were still in palpitations probably didn't notice it.

But the reason why Ella lied to High Priest Freya that she was dead was because, although Evans was not dead now, he was even more terrifying than if he were dead.

Along the spacious and bright corridor, several Templar Knights belonging to the Inquisition brought Ella to the cell door. At present, except for the Inquisition and Elder Holmes who temporarily served as the archbishop, no one knew that the insane high priest was imprisoned at the bottom of the prison tower.

Through several iron bars, Ella saw the high priest sitting inside the cell.

The other person's body was so bloated and fat that his tall stature almost took up half of the wall, with his thin and long limbs hanging limply on the ground. Unlike the layers of fat on his torso, the limbs that were tightly wrapped in blue-gray skin clearly revealed the outline of bones.

The gray beard and upper body hair grew long and curly as if they had been fertilized, spreading messily on the chest and cheeks.

The bloodshot eyes seemed to notice the person coming through the railings, and a hoarse voice came out of the dry throat: "Kill... me..."
