But if that’s the case...who is this person at the door?
Chapter 23: Blue-Eyed Saint
"Ella Haiweier...why is she here..." Haoming, who was beside Ye Xiao, saw the figure of the silver-haired girl and swallowed his saliva.
Not right.
This obviously incongruous thing also made Ye Xiao's vigilance immediately maxed out. No matter who it was, pretending to be Ella at this moment would definitely not be a good thing!
The real Ella immediately ended the conversation, got on the carriage and rushed to the Grey Wolf Mercenary Group's base.
She suddenly had a very ominous premonition in her heart.
"I didn't expect that the Saint Lady would come to visit our poor place in person. I'm sorry for not welcoming you." The mercenary captain stood up from the bench respectfully with sweat on his forehead.
Li Cheng was also delighted as he prepared to walk to the door, "Hi, good evening, Saint Lady..."
Before he finished speaking, he paused. Why did he feel that the Saint Lady... seemed a little different from usual?
Then, he saw the saint at the door raise her satin-gloved fingertips and point at him.
The bright red pupils changed slightly and became a deep blue.
At the same time, a magic staff cut through the air and flew from behind to the side of Li Cheng's face.
"Apparition!!!"
Accompanied by a roar, Ye Xiao's figure flashed beside Li Cheng and pressed Li Cheng to the ground at the critical moment.
An obscure magical wave suddenly erupted, transforming into an invisible sickle that cut the entire hall in two. Deep cuts appeared on the walls and stone pillars in all directions, and all the people who were still standing were split in half.
The spurting blood was like a rough primitive mural, and in an instant it filled the entire hall along with countless severed bodies.
Fortunately, at the same time, a pitch-black magic circle suddenly unfolded from the center of the venue, suddenly exerting a powerful gravity that directly crushed the players of the Seven Stars Association and some mercenaries, avoiding this fatal blow that came without warning.
But the other mercenaries who were not covered by the magic circle were left with only half of their bodies, falling to the ground with bright red blood.
"Huh?" The silver-haired girl at the door tilted her head slightly, and her deep blue pupils looked with a little surprise at the maid girl who was casting gravity magic behind the crowd.
However, Gretia, who had saved everyone, had cold sweat on her forehead, and her usually lazy and soft voice shouted with unprecedented panic, "Don't go over there, Ye Xiao!!!"
The next second, Ye Xiao gritted his teeth and pulled out the blade with a raging black flame, slashing towards "Ella" at the door.
He had already understood in the previous moment that this false saint who suddenly appeared was a terrifying enemy that he must fight with all his strength.
However, before the long sword burning with black fire reached the opponent's chest, Ye Xiao felt a chill on his neck, and his eyes suddenly went dark. The scene in his vision was only spinning.
The next moment, Ye Xiao appeared in the same place with his mental and physical strength restored. He looked at the smiling girl at the door and swallowed in disbelief.
Because his Miracle Caster's passive skill "Death Rewind" was triggered.
This means that at that moment, he was actually dead.
"Wow, a miracle magician?" "Ella" smiled, with the corners of her mouth raised with evil and charm, "There are so many surprises in this small team."
Ye Xiao held the hilt of the knife, his palms sweating slightly. The malice and madness revealed in the other party's deep blue pupils were exactly the same as the blasphemous witch Ella he saw at the end of his previous life.
Another world-destroying witch? But how is this possible? ? ?
However, even though Ye Xiao was shocked and even died suddenly once, he remained calm, his eyes fixed on the slender fingers of the fake saint.
The appearance of the slash is related to the direction of the opponent. If you can avoid that direction the moment the opponent raises his finger, you may have a chance to avoid the fatal slash.
Although... there's little hope.
However, just as Ye Xiao was concentrating on preparing for the battle, a petite figure stood in front of him.
This usually adorable and silly figure, with his cloak fluttering in the night wind, made Ye Xiao feel for the first time that this little guy was actually quite handsome.
"I don't know which Outer God you are who has taken away the power of arrogance." Gratia's face was cold, and her golden eyes were full of murderous intent. "Don't pretend in the present world. Go to the void and I will play with you."
"Cute little Mammon." The blue-eyed "Ella" licked her fingers with interest, "There will be a chance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xiao suddenly heard countless shrill wails coming from behind him.
He turned around quickly and saw several members of the Grey Wolf Mercenary Group with twisted bodies, their exposed skin covered with scars like fish scales. They all grabbed the scattered blades on the ground with painful expressions, screaming and hacking at the living people nearby.
The players of the Qi Yao Club also hurriedly got up to resist the crazy mercenaries. What made Ye Xiao happy was that they did not undergo the same strange transformation as the mercenaries.
In the chaos, Freya held a staff in her hand and summoned countless holy light balls to repel the crazy mercenaries. At the same time, she evoked a huge defensive barrier to protect the players of the Seven Stars Club who gathered in the center of the lobby.
"Seeing so many tricks, this trip is not in vain..." Looking at this chaotic scene, "Ella" just waved her hand, and her figure began to tremble like water waves and became blurred.
Gratia stretched out her hand, and countless chains surrounded by black mist appeared out of thin air, trying to wrap around the gradually blurred figure, but she grabbed nothing.
"Damn! What a troublesome ability!" The little maid stomped her feet in anger.
Who did this little guy learn to swear from? ? Ye Xiao's mouth twitched when he heard this, but he just complained in his heart. Seeing that the fake "Ella" had escaped, he quickly turned around and joined the battle behind.
With Freya in charge, the crazy mercenaries posed basically no threat to the players of Qi Yao Club, so he just glanced at everyone and rushed to the corner.
Sure enough, he saw Haoming at one end of the long table with bloodshot eyes, grabbing a lifeless mercenary with a mad look on his face, and hitting the other's head, which had become a paste, with his own head.
“Damn it.” Ye Xiao cursed inwardly and rushed over to hold down the mad Hao Ming. “Great God, I pray to you to send down the healing holy light…”
Looking at the fish scales on the other person's skin, he had roughly guessed the reason for his madness. If nothing unexpected happened, Ella's healing holy light should also be effective.
A black group of tentacles jumped out from the blood-red magic circle, drilled into Haoming's wide-open mouth, and moved up and down.
As the bulge sank from the throat into the chest, Haoming's vision gradually began to regain clarity.
"That was close..." As long as the healing holy light is effective, Ye Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead. He can also use the coins to exchange for some mental power to heal some of the mercenaries at the scene. When Ella arrives, those who are still alive should be able to return to normal.
As he thought of this, he suddenly felt the earth shaking.
Ye Xiao looked around and then his expression changed slightly.
It’s bad. The pillars that were just broken by the fake saint can no longer hold up. The house is going to collapse!
Chapter 24: Imaginary Trap
The three-story luxurious mansion could not bear the weight and finally collapsed with a loud bang.
The air was filled with smoke and dust, and the golden holy light shield pierced through the broken bricks and tiles. Freya, with her golden hair flying, held up her staff like a dazzling torch and led the members of the Seven Lights Society out of the ruins in the night.
Ye Xiao carried the unconscious Haoming on his back, feeling a little scared. If it weren't for Freya's holy light protection and Grettia's timely intervention, the Seven Stars Society would have been wiped out inexplicably that night alone.
While they were pondering the situation, a large group of fully armed soldiers holding lanterns, seemingly prepared, rushed into the manor and surrounded everyone.
From the conspicuous water wave logo on their breastplate, it is not difficult to tell that they are an army affiliated with the Malz family.
"I order you to lay down your weapons!" The soldiers in armor and holding spears forced their way forward without giving Li Cheng and others any chance to speak, as if they were treating vicious bandits.
"we are…"
"Don't move! Keep silent! Put down your weapons!!!"
Without allowing any explanation, the group of soldiers surrounded the fake "Ella" as soon as she left. Ye Xiao keenly sensed that something was wrong.
But the Grey Wolf Mercenaries also belong to the Malz family, so it would be a bit strange to say that there is a connection between them.
But more importantly, what should they do?
Faced with this group of problematic city defense troops, should we surrender or fight our way out?
If the Qi Yao Gang breaks out of the siege, they will be wanted by the entire Storm Harbor. If they surrender, they may fall into an even more dangerous situation... But before Ye Xiao and Li Cheng could make a decision, a long-drawn wailing sound resounded through the night sky.
Several people wearing standard armor of the Grey Wolf Mercenary Group appeared from nowhere and appeared among the soldiers who surrounded everyone. They grabbed the captain of the city defense army and cried: "Captain! Help! The Saint of Light has gathered a group of people and came to our base, killing all our brothers!"
The artificial crying and dramatic performance were probably not as good as the cheap theater next door. After all, the real Grey Wolf mercenaries had already fallen in a pool of blood under the ruins.
These guys who suddenly appeared were, as expected, Lao Liu, who had been hiding near the manor for a long time. He was waiting for this moment to join forces with a group of guards to throw dirty water on Li Cheng and others.
Ye Xiao understood the pros and cons of this at a glance. This huge commotion had already attracted the people in the surrounding area. No matter what choice the Qi Yao Association made, it would be difficult for them to find a place to stay in this port.
"You're talking nonsense! These guys are not Grey Wolf mercenaries at all..." Some angry players in the guild immediately retorted, but the guards around them immediately rushed forward with spears and poked at Freya's open holy light barrier.
"This group of murderous villains are still resisting. Guards, capture them!"
The words were very firm and left no room for explanation.
"Fuck you!" Li Cheng buttoned his pumpkin helmet and drew his sword, and the tense atmosphere became more and more solemn.
The little maid also had a cold expression on her face. It was obvious that if a fight broke out she would start a killing spree.
At the critical moment, Ye Xiao held down the excited Li Cheng and the murderous Gretia with one hand, "Don't worry, steady yourself."
【You received a message】
[The Saint's Dog 2: Brother Ye, is there any way to contact the Saint? She must not come at this time.]
【Midnight snack: Why do you say that? 】
[The Saint's Dog 2: How could we be worthy of being framed by this shitty noble army and that powerful fake guy? They are targeting the Saint.]
[The Saint's Dog 2: Let's fight our way out and don't let them have a chance to perform! ]
In fact, Ye Xiao knew there was something fishy going on without Li Cheng's reminder.
This large group of soldiers is definitely not just used to deal with the Qi Yao Society. God knows what other tricks they have up their sleeves.
But...if Ye Xiao and Ella were really two people, he might still send this message asking the other party not to come over.
But she is Ella, and she would never choose to put the entire Qiyao Society in danger just to avoid potential risks against herself.
These are the people she brought here, and she will definitely be responsible for them.
Therefore, Ye Xiao did not reply to Li Cheng, but just pinched his shoulder.
At the same time, a touch of snow-like silver finally appeared in the night, and Ella, wearing a cloak, rode a brown horse and broke into the rear of the city defense army.
"What are you going to do to my people in the temple?"
The light voice spread throughout the venue. When most of the players of the Seven Stars Club saw the petite girl riding on the horse, their expressions changed from tense and ready to explode to happy and relaxed. They knew that it was the real Saint Lady who came to save the day.
Only Li Cheng was still frowning, because he knew that the trouble against the Saint Lady was about to appear at this moment.
"You...you evil witch! How dare you show up? Are you going to kill us in public? " The fake Grey Wolf mercenary looked terrified, pointing at Ella with a trembling voice.
"Be respectful, she is the Saint!" Unexpectedly, the captain of the guard slapped the Gray Wolf mercenary's helmet and said, "How dare you slander such a great figure in the Holy Temple!"
"Everything I said is true! Everything I said is true!!!" The Gray Wolf mercenary sobbed and handed a crystal-like stone to the captain of the guard. "I just hid in a corner during the chaos and survived, but I used the crystal to record the atrocities of the witch. Sir, you have to believe me!! "
It turned out to be the case.
Looking at the two of them singing the same tune, Ella began to understand a little.
However, a wizard in a cloth robe walked over to the captain of the guards and set up a magic circle to project the image in the crystal into the air.
Gorgeously changing images floated in the night sky, showing the scene of the fake saint slaughtering the mercenaries to the officers, soldiers and civilians present.
The mercenary group's base was right next to the entrance of Liancheng Bridge. The busy convoys passing by at sunset could all see the bloody scene.
The scene just skipped over the scene where Gratia and Ye Xiao stood in front of the fake saint, and instead left the scene where the Grey Wolf mercenaries went crazy and hacked at each other with the members of the Seven Stars Society.
Ella finally realized that the fake "Ella" had blue eyes and had deliberately given herself red-eye effects when opening the door and had stood there for so long. It turned out that it was to take a close-up shot.
I can only say that the guy who took the photo really got the hang of editing the afterlife scene.
"This..." The captain of the guard pretended to be surprised, "Lady Saint, even if you are a big shot in the Holy Temple, you can't treat the people of Storm Harbor like pigs and dogs and slaughter them like this!"
In the crowd that gradually gathered, some voices deliberately instigated the angry shouts to grow louder and louder:
"I've heard that Ella Haiweier is an evil god. She humiliated the princess and killed the prince in the imperial city, and now she's here to harm Storm Harbor again!"
"Oh my god, she's carrying out massacres openly like this, is this the saint crowned by the gods!?"
"Will the Holy Temple of Light be led by such a person in the future? How can we ordinary people survive?!"
Chapter 25: Guilty and Punishment
The large group of soldiers that originally surrounded the Qi Yao Society gradually split up and began to surround Ella in the rear.
"These bastards..." Li Cheng gritted his teeth in anger when he saw this scene. The false certification and false physical evidence, coupled with the people's dissatisfaction with the church, constituted real public outrage.
The people who gathered around did not sympathize with the irrelevant mercenary group, but saw that even those mercenaries who usually served as lackeys for the family could be slaughtered at will by the saint, so their lives were nothing but grass in the eyes of the other party.
Most importantly, the Temple of Light itself has a doctrine that treats ordinary people as worthless.
Such anger gathered, not all because of Ella, but it was all poured on Ella at this moment.
"Lady of Light, Ella Hayvel, you defied the law and massacred civilians in public. Do you admit it?" The captain of the guards held a spear in his hand and spoke righteously, "You can remain silent, but as the guardian of order in Storm Harbor, I will announce the arrest of you and your accomplices!"
