After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

"If it's urgent, why not wake Aize up? He won't care... No, I should say, if I don't wake him up, he'll blame me later."

Uriel shook her head.

"Forget it, don't disturb his rest. It's nothing serious. I just wanted to say goodbye before returning to the Holy City... If there's no chance, that's fine."

Aize has abandoned his identity as a hero, left the church, and is no longer restricted.

But Uriel was different.

At least for now, she has not given up the idea of being a hero, so she will naturally be bound by it.

Before, she rushed to Tafia because she was worried about Aize's safety and wanted to bring him into the team for protection, and also to convey the church's instructions.

But now, Aize's safety is guaranteed, but he also refuses to join his team.

The invading orc chieftain had been killed, and she could no longer stay here for long.

The team is already outside the city, waiting for him to arrive, and then they will immediately set off back to the holy city.

As for saying goodbye...it's not like we won't see each other again in the future, right? If we don't say goodbye, we can just pretend that we haven't parted yet. It's pretty good to think that way.

"The members of Silver Star and Wind Shadow also want to meet him, but we can only forget about it for now. Let's wait for a chance in the future. However—"

Uriel stared at Villian intently, her gaze so sharp that it would make even the most timid person piss and pee.

But Villian didn't blink, instead she looked past Aize and looked back straight at him.

The two people's eyes met silently in the room.

After a moment of silence, Uriel spoke first:

"Take good care of Aize, otherwise, I will find you. Goodbye."

After saying this expressionlessly, she pointed to her eyes.

Then he closed the door and left.

Aize was still sleeping soundly and didn't notice this little episode.

Villian sighed and shook her head, then said to herself with a wry smile:

"The threat from the strongest hero is truly terrifying."

It was just a simple sentence, but the murderous intent was extremely strong.

She was at least a few Leahs more terrifying than that brave princess.

She lowered her head, looked at Aize lying on her, pinched his sleeping face, and said with a smile:

"Your female bodyguard threatened to kill me. I had nightmares at night, but you were still sleeping so soundly. You are such a heartless guy~"

Jokes aside, this is indeed a problem that needs to be solved. It is not a good idea to keep it hanging like this.

Villian looked at the other person's sleeping face, and the smile slowly disappeared from her face.

Then, he looked out the window at the blue sky, as if thinking about something.

Then she nodded, as if she had made some kind of decision.

"There's no other way, let's just do it. Haha, I'm a little excited just thinking about it~"

----------

Somewhere in the Holy City, in a corner of the Inquisition compound, there is a small complex of villas.

The design is gorgeous and the decoration is exquisite. The space is spacious and filled with various sculptures, murals and other decorations with religious significance. It is priceless at first glance.

Such a scene easily reminds people of the mansion of a great nobleman.

But that is not the case.

Church guards can be seen everywhere, closely guarding every corner and entrance and exit.

In the invisible places, various barriers perfectly cover every corner, ensuring that no unauthorized person can enter or leave.

Yes, this is a prison cell.

For those high-ranking officials of the church, they still deserve a decent living environment until they are truly designated as heretics.

This facility is prepared for them.

At this moment, the occupant of this room is none other than Leah Alfred, the God-chosen Hero.

The blonde girl had taken off her armor and holy sword, and was sitting on the sofa in casual clothes, holding her chin with an unhappy expression on her face.

The Inquisition and even the entire church were caught up in a quarrel over her accusations, and it seemed unlikely that there would be any progress for a while.

And she had to stay here and not leave until those meaningless arguments were over.

It's been several days.

Although the living conditions were relatively good, for Leah, knowing there was a war but not being able to fight was not much different from torture.

"Ugh--"

She let out a long sigh.

At this moment, a series of clicking sounds came from the closed door.

Then, it was opened, and a familiar figure appeared there.

"Good morning, Xiaoya."

The Saint-type hero, Rosaline, walked in and sat down opposite Leah.

The moment she stepped over the door frame, the door was closed by the guards outside, followed by the sound of a "click" as it was locked.

Rosalyn glanced over there and shook her head helplessly.

"What a barbaric fellow! I never thought there would be such a barbaric place in the church of the loving goddess. It's really a pity."

Leah blinked and looked away in fascination.

Rosalyn didn't care, she just smiled, then picked up an apple from the fruit bowl on the table and took a small bite.

Then he said:

"I'm sorry, I've been wanting to come in and find you since the day you were taken away. However, this time it was a direct order from the Pope, so it was really difficult to deal with. This organization is also very ruthless, and it took a lot of effort."

Leah still didn't answer. After a moment's silence, she said blankly:

“…I’m not a heretic.”

Like a child having a tantrum.

The conflicts of interest behind this trial are extremely complicated.

To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter whether Leia herself is a heretic or not. The outcome of the trial will depend on the outcome of the game between the various parties regardless of the facts.

But she didn't know.

And Rosalyn didn't intend to explain anything.

Just smiled and comforted:

"Don't worry. Who in this church doesn't know your loyalty to the goddess? Give them some time. This will definitely pass."

"Time!? Where do I have time!?"

Leia's sore spot was touched, and the emotions that had been suppressed for many days suddenly burst out.

She jumped up from the sofa and roared:

"Even as we speak, that damned orc chieftain is ravaging the goddess's followers and invading human territory! And I'm stuck in this lousy place, doing this kind of boring shit!!"

As he said this, he kicked over the coffee table, and the fruit plate, water cups, snacks and other things instantly fell to the ground.

"This is clearly the perfect opportunity to take down a leader! And yet, that loser Aize is still in command! He's not even a hero, what on earth can he do at this point!? What's the situation over there right now?!"

"There..."

The smile on Rosalyn's face didn't change at all, but one could still see that she was a little hesitant.

After a few seconds, he continued as usual:

"I just received news today that Azer won a great victory in Tafia. The main force of the orc army suffered a devastating blow, and the remnants fled. The great chieftain, Tar Sarago, was also beheaded. It's all over."

Chapter 159: Each One's Own Eyes

Leia's expression froze for a moment.

Then, the facial muscles began to twitch and the eyes gradually became wandering.

"...Orc Warchief, that monster who could withstand even a direct blow from the Holy Sword was killed by that piece of shit!?"

The blond warrior's voice was trembling.

"Did he really do it? Wasn't it that bastard from Silver Star? And then the gains were stolen?!"

Rosalyn exhaled softly, showing a slightly confused expression and shook her head.

"Well, I heard that the final blow was indeed carried out by Uriel, and the church wants to publicize it that way, but the commander of the battle was undoubtedly Aize, and Uriel herself refused to claim the honor. Now we are in a bit of a dilemma."

Kill one of the thirteen leaders, or wipe him out along with his army.

Such an achievement is worthy of being recorded in history.

But it also gave the church a hot potato.

Whose achievement is this?

As the commander, Aize is of course the first choice.

But as a God-chosen hero, he has to leave the church and run away. This matter has not yet been concluded, and his current position is extremely embarrassing.

What if the credit is attributed to him and one day in the future he turns against the church?

Even if it doesn't reach that point, if the chosen hero of God achieves even greater achievements after leaving the church, how embarrassing would it be if this were spread?

Therefore, the blame can only be placed on Uriel. If Uriel herself is willing to compete with Aize for the credit, it would be even better. She can also take the opportunity to step on Aize who has escaped.

However, expecting Uriel to step on Aize or something... just think about it.

So, the church is also scratching its head at this moment.

Leia didn't know the entanglement involved, and she had no interest in knowing.

But the target she had let go was snatched away by the combination of Aize and Uriel. This matter was so disgusting to her that she couldn't sleep for several days and nights.

She bit her nails and said through gritted teeth:

"If these bastards hadn't locked me up here, there wouldn't be so much trouble!? If they had sent me to Tafia, how could these two guys have done this? Damn them!"

A bunch of damn insects, they only know how to dress in dazzling clothes and eat to their heart's content because of the title of goddess, but their sense of responsibility is absolutely zero.

These bastards are the real heretics!

"If I have the chance, I must—"

"Cough cough."

Rosalyn coughed twice, interrupting Leah's tantrum.

This house was a prison no matter what. Besides the barriers preventing entry and exit and the guards, surveillance systems were everywhere.

She can speak without thinking, but when her words fall into other people's mouths, they will take on a completely different meaning.

Small troubles may be magnified as a result.

You know, there is no Aize to help her clean up the mess now. If something goes wrong, it will be a big trouble.

Rosalyn soothed:

"Alright, alright, don't get so excited. The battle on the Anlin Plains just ended. Just treat it as a day off and rest up here for a few days. There's nothing wrong with that."

"whispering sound--"

Leia pouted in displeasure, but she also quieted down and stopped chewing her tongue.

The Saint Hero then said:
