Red Maple Territory.
A large territory located in the west of the empire.
Here, the high walls are lower than those of the border territories because it is located within the empire and is not subject to monster attacks and invasions.
The temperature in autumn is already dropping close to zero, but compared to the perpetually snow-covered Northern Territory, it is still considered to have four distinct seasons.
Inside the high walls is a large red maple forest. When the wind blows, it is like a sea of flames rolling, a beautiful sight.
This place was once called Zavier Territory, but it was renamed Red Maple Territory because of its famous red maples, which can be red from September to December. Every late autumn, many nobles from the royal capital come to visit.
In addition to the red maple forest, there is also the Grace Temple, one of the three major cathedrals of the Holy See.
The Grace Temple is guarded by Constantine, the Cardinal of the Holy See, who is second only to Pope Randall in status and is one of the four cardinals of the Holy See.
At the same time, Archbishop Constantine is also the only bishop who works in the Guardian Bureau, serving as the spiritual enlightenment for all witches.
Every year, the royal capital sends a batch of witches to the Grace Temple for spiritual enlightenment. Only witches who have been baptized are sent to the Guardian Bureau for further training.
In the depths of the maple forest, the Grace Temple stands tall, its spires reaching into the sky.
When the first ray of sunlight penetrates the clouds, the golden light shines on every corner of the temple, illuminating the delicate patterns on the sculptures.
Stepping inside the temple, a chilling coldness ensues. The huge stained-glass windows shimmer with dazzling light under the sunlight. Colored light passes through the glass and projects onto the cold marble floor, forming mottled light and shadows. In front of the altar, a few eternal lamps sway with faint flames, adding a touch of warmth to this sacred hall.
In the center of the temple, rows of heavy wooden benches are covered with embroidered cushions for believers to kneel and pray.
A mendicant friar quietly recites scriptures beside them, his deep and powerful voice echoing in the empty hall, interweaving with the distant bells to form a solemn hymn.
Huge stone pillars stand all around, adorned with exquisite reliefs depicting stories from the Holy Scriptures.
Between these pillars, beams of light penetrate from the high arched windows, as if they were Tiger's gift, bringing life to this silent world.
Believers wear simple robes, their faces filled with pious expressions, kneeling or standing, chanting prayers in low voices. Their eyes wander between the statues, stained-glass windows, and scriptures, each bow and raise of the head a spiritual cleansing.
Dorothy arrived at the Maple Leaf Forest through the portal. She held her daughter Alexandra's hand in her left hand, and Alexandra held a twisted flame demon, as if dragging a dog that wanted to escape.
The flame demon Cruz could not enter the temple, he could only wait with Alexandra 100 meters away from the temple.
Alexandra liked this maple forest very much and played in it.
As a nanny, Cruz hated this childish behavior, but he had to accompany her.
For example, jumping on dead leaves, climbing the highest tree, or jumping down from the tree tirelessly.
Children's thinking always makes Cruz feel childish and elusive. They always like to repeat one thing, and they will laugh gigglingly because of it.
Cruz thought that as an immature dragon, Alexandra should have her own persistence and dignity,
But he was wrong.
Just like when he was a flame when he was a child, he always liked to drill into the water, Alexandra also liked to play various childish tricks when she was a child.
Dorothy walked into the Grace Temple and quietly came to the side of the mendicant monk, without disturbing him.
The believers just raised their heads slightly, saw the woman in the cloak, and then lowered their heads again to continue their prayers.
Ince Hall and Bain Hall are different. Although they are brothers, Ince Hall took the path of a believer, while Bain Hall took the path of a knight.
With purple hair and purple eyes, even in simple clothes, it is still difficult to hide the aristocratic temperament. The mendicant monk Ince Hall stopped chanting and looked back at Dorothy.
"Dorothy, you've grown up."
"Did I disturb you?"
Dorothy asked.
"No, child, come with me."
Ince Hall took Dorothy to the lounge outside the temple and said in a tone of reminiscence,
"We haven't seen each other for about 20 years."
"Uncle, your memory is wrong, I'm not 20 years old yet."
Dorothy said lightly.
Ince Hall laughed,
"Haha, look, isn't Uncle still as humorous as before."
"Uncle, I hope you can go back to the royal capital with me once."
Dorothy directly stated her intention. Ince Hall snapped his fingers, and the servants immediately stepped forward, putting a gorgeous coat on his simple clothes and putting on the sash and勋章 belonging to the Earl.
"Did the little emperor think of me and want me to go back to receive the award?"
Ince Hall was completely different from the image in the temple. He raised his eyebrows and said playfully.
Dorothy shook her head, "It's about the family curse."
"Oh, that matter."
Ince Hall took off the sash and threw it to the servant, frowning,
"If you want me to go back to accept the family's trial, I have already accepted it many years ago. I don't owe the Hall family anything anymore. Let me continue to practice in the temple. Worldly affairs have nothing to do with me."
Dorothy's beautiful eyebrows raised slightly.
Ince Hall saw the expression on his beautiful niece's face, and laughed out loud, like an old urchin.
"Haha, Dorothy is still as funny as ever. Do you remember that you wanted to play fireball when you were 3 years old?"
"I remember, you burned down a castle to tell me the danger of fire."
Dorothy remembered vividly.
"Yes, wasn't that fun?"
Ince Hall smiled and stretched out his hand, wanting to rub Dorothy's hair, but Dorothy dodged it.
"It's really sad, I regard you as pride just like your father."
Ince Hall shook his head helplessly, "If one of my 21 children can be as good as you, I will be relieved."
"Uncle, you don't have that many children."
Dorothy reminded.
Ince Hall showed an even sadder look, "Can you not expose my fantasy? If my wife Mona was still alive, she would definitely have given me 21 children."
"I'm very sorry about that."
"Dorothy, has anyone ever told you that people should learn to be humorous so that life can be more interesting."
"Magic is interesting enough, and magic doesn't need humor, it only needs precision."
Dorothy retorted.
Ince Hall sighed, "Okay, look how rigid Bain has taught you."
Dorothy didn't think she was rigid. Most of the time, her ideas were very advanced, but compared to Ince Hall, who had a jumping mind, she might indeed be a little rigid.
"Ince."
A strange voice came from behind. Dorothy turned around and saw Cardinal Constantine walking towards them.
This bishop has an unusually handsome face. In terms of appearance alone, he would not be lower than Li En and Randall. He looks very young, and time has not left any traces on him, but everyone knows that a person who can become a bishop cannot be so young.
If judged by secular standards, he would not be more than thirty years old at most.
And Constantine has witnessed the emperors of three Holy Empires.
Just as he approached, the wind happened to blow, and the red maple forest made a rustling sound. Dorothy felt for a moment that countless voices were entering her mind, but she clearly knew that it was an illusion.
She thought she was probably a little nervous recently.
A beautiful girl of the same age as Dorothy jumped out from behind Constantine's wide red robe.
The girl has rare colorful hair and two deep dimples when she smiles. She is wearing a plain white dress. When she saw Dorothy, she winked at Dorothy proactively.
She is Dorothy's childhood sweetheart, Emma Burke. Like Augulas, they spent some time together in their childhood.
Emma also has extremely high theological talent and has entered the ranks of silver believers.
"Do we have a guest?"
Constantine asked.
"Oh, it's my niece, Dorothy. Dorothy, this is Bishop Constantine, my teacher. Emma doesn't need to be introduced, right?"
Ince Hall said with a smile.
Emma stepped forward and took Dorothy's hand,
"My dear Dorothy, when will you return my book to me?"
Dorothy knew that Emma was talking about the "Fairy Tale Book". This book was a gift from Emma's grandfather to her.
Emma lent it to Dorothy to facilitate Dorothy's research on the mysteries in it.
Emma knew that Dorothy was a magic research maniac, so she never meant to ask for it back. When she saw Dorothy today, she suddenly remembered it.
Emma is the little princess of the Burke family, one of the seven creed families. Her grandfather's love for her has reached the point of doting. Even an endowment can be directly given to her.
Of course, she never dared to tell her grandfather that the "Fairy Tale Book" was in Dorothy's hands.
Dorothy didn't want to take the fairy tale book as her own, but she considered that the book recorded too many secrets of Li En, and it could not be returned to Emma Burke for the time being.
"Sorry, I haven't finished studying it yet."
Dorothy said.
"I knew you would say that, forget it, I won't need it anyway."
As the princess of the Burke family, Emma doesn't need to study magic or fight. She feels that she probably won't need the "Fairy Tale Book" in her life, unless her grandfather forces her to marry, she will borrow the "Fairy Tale Book" to escape.
Except for her teacher Constantine, she is unwilling to marry other men.
Unfortunately, her teacher Constantine doesn't seem to have any such intentions towards her at all.
This makes Emma very distressed and eager to confide in Dorothy.
They haven't seen each other for 3 years. Although they will communicate through letters during this period, this is completely different from meeting in reality, lying in a bed, wearing pajamas, wrapped in a quilt, and exchanging thoughts more happily.
Emma is already looking forward to the girlfriends' party in the evening.
Constantine sat down next to Ince Hall.
He picked up the teapot on the table, poured 4 cups of clear tea, and handed them to Ince Hall and Dorothy respectively.
Emma took a cup herself unceremoniously.
The uncle and nephew took the teacups, and Constantine said slowly, "I had a dream about pilgrimage last night. Although the true face of the Tiger God did not appear in the dream, I gained many inspirations. You are all believers, would you like to hear it?"
"Teacher, please speak."
Ince Hall was much more honest in front of Constantine, and he didn't say those boring jokes anymore. His expression was serious and earnest, like a devout student.
Out of politeness, Dorothy decided to listen to what the Cardinal had to say about his dream before taking her uncle away.
However, after Constantine finished talking about the dream, Dorothy had completely forgotten her purpose here.
Like Ince Hall and Emma, she was looking forward to Constantine continuing to preach.
The three of them were like the most devout students, full of longing for theological knowledge.
Yalong City.
Guardian Bureau.
Although Li En had obtained some information about the witches from Cameron and Ellie, because Ophelia had been deliberately alienating and avoiding him recently, and Dorothy was not in the royal capital, he failed to influence the final list of witches to be dispatched. This list was entirely determined by Ophelia and submitted to Augulas.
Li En finally got the list from Augulas.
However, this did not have much impact on Li En's plan. The witches would lose control as long as they arrived at the Azure Dragon Court,
The only one who could save them was himself, so it was the same no matter who was sent.
The empire's craftsmen are also working intensively to build warships and equipment to make it in time for the expedition within the time stipulated by the emperor.
Since Li En indirectly rejected the marriage between the two major families last time, Augulas did not force him to participate in the noble's ball, but took him to visit the warship manufacturing instead.
Everything was proceeding step by step, and everything in the royal capital was calm. The only problem was that Dorothy had not returned from the Red Maple Territory.
This made Li En feel uneasy.
Unfortunately, the witch invitation stone cannot replace a mobile phone and cannot achieve real-time communication. They can only participate in the Tower Conference regularly. Otherwise, Li En can ask Dorothy about the situation through the invitation stone on his neck.
Now, he can only go to the Red Maple Territory in person to check the situation.
If taking the magic train, it will take about 4 days to go back and forth, which can just catch up with the expedition.
If riding on the back of a dragon, he can reach the Red Maple Territory within a day, which can be regarded as an air express.
Li En plans to let Alexandra accompany him to find Dorothy.
Just as he was about to discuss with his daughter, he saw the sunbird standing on the windowsill.
The sunbird put down the letter in its mouth and flew away.
In this era, information can only be transmitted through letters, and the communication methods are too backward.
Fortunately, witches like Dorothy can use owls, crows, pigeons, and sunbirds to deliver letters, which greatly shortens the time for letter delivery.
Li En knew that this must be a letter sent by Dorothy, because he smelled Dorothy's scent on the envelope.
He opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.
Li En read it.
[Li En:
I have already arrived at Red Maple Territory. The scenery here is very beautiful, and I also met my uncle, Earl Ince, and my friend Emma. She is as interesting as ever. Emma is the true owner of "The Book of Fairy Tales."
But don't worry, I have persuaded her to let "The Book of Fairy Tales" stay with me. We listened to Bishop Constantine's sermon together in the temple, which made me feel incredibly fulfilled and brought me spiritual enlightenment. After entering the rank of Advanced Believer, I could feel the instability of my soul level, but this instability has improved here. I need to study here for a while, and I hope that you, who are also an Advanced Believer, can come to the Temple of Grace. You will surely be inspired as well.
Looking forward to your arrival.]
Dorothy seemed to have completely forgotten about bringing Ince Hall back, and she also didn't remember that she had promised Augulas to征服 the Azure Dragon Court.
Moreover, she didn't mention in the letter that the two had agreed to get engaged at the Azure Dragon Court.
Leon rubbed his brow, feeling that something was strange about this matter.
Could it be that Dorothy, like Catherine, had a part of her memory stolen?
Originally, he wanted to go to Red Maple Territory to bring her back, but after seeing this letter, Leon suddenly became alert.
Could it be a trap?
If even a Legendary Witch could be controlled or have parts of her memory erased, how troublesome would the enemy be?
Hopefully, he was just overthinking it.
Bishop Constantine, this name is a bit unfamiliar. Perhaps he could ask Fia.
Out of caution, Leon decided to ask Fia first.
Fia wanted to work with the association to create a complete set of Imperial Magic Cards, so she had been staying in the tower during this time.
She lived in the room next to Leon, which was Dorothy's former study and now used by Fia as a laboratory and bedroom.
Knocking on the door, Leon asked,
"Fia, may I come in?"
"If you have a reason that you absolutely must disturb me."
Fia said casually.
Leon pushed the door open and walked in.
The study was messy, with various ritual items, drawings, and discarded silver cards scattered on the table.
Even Fia couldn't guarantee that every card she made would be successful.
She pushed her glasses up and looked at Leon,
"What's the problem?"
Fia was used to Leon treating her as an encyclopedia and occasionally as a blood bag.
However, she also often treated Leon as a test subject and regularly recorded his physical condition.
The two were evenly matched, using each other and forming a good sustainable ecological relationship.
"I want to know who Constantine is?"
Leon didn't need to beat around the bush with Fia and asked directly.
Fia put down the card in her hand, her thick eyelashes fluttering slightly. "If you're talking about His Excellency Constantine, one of the four cardinal bishops of the Holy See, then I don't know much about him. Ophelia might know more than I do."
"Ophelia?"
Leon looked at Fia in confusion.
Fia nodded.
"Yes, His Excellency Constantine is the bishop who has long established contact with the Guardian Bureau. All the witches of the Guardian Bureau will go through his enlightenment, so he is also known as the Enlightener. He was once the fiancé of Ophelia, the director of the Guardian Bureau. Probably because neither of them had the intention to marry, they peacefully cancelled the engagement in the end."
The magical creatures in the study heard the gossip and opened their eyes one after another.
"Oh, I know that Constantine. He's over two hundred years old. If Ophelia weren't an old woman, she definitely wouldn't want to marry him."
An old magic book poked its head out from the bookshelf. "If you want to know more about him, why don't you flip through me? I'm a textbook on the history of the Holy See."
"Don't joke. You're just a wild history recorded by a wild magician. You might as well look at me. I'm the Holy Canon of the Holy See. Constantine is just an insignificant cardinal. What's worth recording?"
"Oh? Insignificant? Then you underestimate Constantine. He's the Golden Believer second only to Randall."
"But he only became a Golden Believer at the age of 201. He had more time than others. This is not something to brag about."
Two books that had gained life due to Dorothy's previous magical power leakage argued about this issue.
Other magical creatures, although they didn't know Constantine, also joined the discussion.
"Who is Ophelia?"
"Who is Constantine?"
"Are they getting married?"
"Haven't you heard? The engagement was cancelled."
Fia felt they were too noisy and directly threw a debuff aura at them. The magical creatures instantly became quiet,
no longer making any interfering sounds.
Leon looked at them sympathetically and said to Fia, "These are Dorothy's pets after all. Aren't you worried that the owner will be unhappy?"
"I'll restore them to normal when I leave."
Fia assured.
"I suspect that Dorothy may have been influenced by this Bishop Constantine. She wrote a letter asking me to go to Red Maple Territory,
maybe there's a conspiracy and a trap."
Leon placed the letter on the table.
"Since you suspect it, then don't go. Are you worried that a Legendary Witch will encounter an accident? She's not Catherine."
Fia said indifferently.
Sophie, who was making frost magic cards, also nodded slightly. She had fought with Dorothy and knew Dorothy's strength best.
Probably even Pope Randall couldn't hurt Dorothy.
But Leon always felt that this Archbishop Constantine was not simple. Every witch had gone through his enlightenment. Could it be that he was the one who did the brainwashing work for all the experimental witches, and this work wouldn't be noticed even when cleaning the entry?
Could he have mastered some kind of Grace object, similar to a Grace object that can completely change people's consciousness?
If it was this kind of Grace object that doesn't cause direct harm but distorts consciousness and memory, could it bypass the witch's self-protection system and affect the witch?
"President."
Cameron's voice interrupted Leon's thoughts.
"The director wants all the witches to attend a meeting. Ellie and I, um, and Miss Sophie, must leave for a while."
"All the witches? Something big happened to the Guardian Bureau?"
Leon asked.
"No, it's a collective meeting held every six months. All registered witches must participate."
Cameron didn't call Fia because Fia wasn't a registered witch.
Fia was now a wild witch, and possibly a unique wild witch.
At least that's what Cameron thought.
Sophie hadn't attended this kind of meeting for a long time. She looked at Leon nervously.
"It's okay. Cameron and Ellie will be with you. If there's a special situation, summon an angel to prove you're not a heretic."
Leon instructed.
Sophie nodded, indicating that she understood.
The three witches left together.
Only Leon and Fia were left in the tower,
but they weren't attracted to the temple, but to the Red Maple Festival in Red Maple Territory.
Fia put away the cards on the table and looked at Leon,
"Don't you think it's a bit of a coincidence?"
"What coincidence?"
Leon asked.
"Dorothy, Sophie, Ellie, and Cameron, all the witches are not by your side now."
Fia said.
"You mean someone deliberately sent them away, or rather, chose the time to attack me?"
As soon as Leon finished speaking, he heard footsteps outside the tower.
He smelled the scent of candles.
He walked to the window and saw the followers gathered under the tower, looking at Fia with admiration.
"Looks like you're right. Someone wants to see me alone and deliberately sent away all the witches around me,
but he seems to have overlooked you."
"I don't actually have much combat power."
Fia said truthfully.
"Don't be so modest. You're a witch after all."
Perhaps because Leon changed history, Archbishop Ethan Taylor, who didn't die in the last expedition, was still alive. He led the Knights of the Holy See and surrounded the entire tower.
The lineup was even more gorgeous than when escorting Leon from Yussufa to the Supreme Tribunal.
An archbishop, 2 priests, 5 fathers, and 5 pastors, plus 50 knights.
Except for the clergy sitting in carriages with the Holy See emblem, the accompanying knights were all wearing armor and cloaks. The blue cloaks had an inverted black heart symbol, representing that they were members of the Black Heart Knights.
This knight order, like the Polaris Knights, specializes in capturing heretics.
They rode tall, armored horses, holding swords, with solemn expressions.
Elizabeth looked sad. She didn't actually want to participate in this matter, but the Pope personally ordered it.
Elizabeth always felt an ominous premonition after leaving the Holy See.
Looking up at the handsome blond and blue-eyed young lord, Elizabeth felt that uneasy feeling even more strongly.
It was as if the way he looked at her was filled with pity.
Damn it, if only she could find an excuse to leave the team.
Elizabeth thought to herself, looking at Priest Vincent beside her.
Vincent looked very excited. He belonged to the right wing of the Holy See, jealous of Leon's talent, and hoped to suppress his growth.
"Simon Moria, someone reported that you illegally possess Grace objects and are suspected of encroaching on imperial property. Please come with us."
In the Holy Empire, a document issued by the empire is required for each Grace object held.
Those without documents are illegally occupied. In fact, this is for the rulers to better control the situation of Grace objects.
Most of the Grace objects are controlled by the Pope, the Emperor, the great nobles and the lords. Like Leon holding the Eye of the Future, it is justified and belongs to inheritance, although it will be attacked by Kay, but it is legal in law.
But [Splitting Seal] [Canvas] [Azure Dragon Whip] are illegal, because he did not apply for the issuance of documents.
In this case, a report is accurate.
However, who would report him?
The only person who really knows that he has mastered so many Grace objects is Dorothy, but she will never betray him.
Unless something happened to her.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what His Excellency Ethan Taylor is talking about."
Leon judged from this that the so-called illegal possession of Grace objects was just an excuse casually found. He wanted to take him back to the Holy See. Randall or arranged some traps, waiting for him to drill into them.
Or rather, the appearance of Ethan Taylor, the conspiracy against him has already begun.
Because on the heads of these people, there are red entries of [Death Warning].
[Death Warning] Your life has entered the countdown. After death, your body will turn into a hell rift.
Unknown hell creatures will enter this world through you as an exit.
If you look closely, you will find that the [Death Warning] time on each person's head is different. Some have only a few minutes left, and some have half an hour left.
Ethan Taylor should be the one with the longest remaining time. The death time may be linked to their own physique.
Randall is giving himself a bunch of time bombs. Every time someone dies, a hell creature will be summoned.
Randall is playing a conspiracy with himself.
Sending away all the witches who can witness this incident, leaving only himself to face the Knights.
If he is unwilling to go with the Knights, then the Knights will detonate in place, not only will a bunch of hell creatures disgust him, but after they die, the Holy See will put the responsibility on his head.
He will definitely be labeled as a heretic again and accept investigation.
For this kind of great crime of directly killing bishops, priests, and destroying the Knights, Randall does not even need to notify the emperor, he can personally execute him.
If he is willing to go back to the Holy See with the Knights, then the situation will only be more dangerous.
With Randall's character, maybe the dragon is ambushed, and he will never leave himself a chance to breathe.
One Randall is already tricky enough, and behind him there is a [Mouth of Temptation].
It seems that he probably knows that [Splitting Seal] [Azure Dragon Whip] [Eye of the Future] are on him.
The content of his transaction with [Mouth of Temptation] is to collect the complete body parts of Mohan, [Fairy Tale Book]
[Ear of Wisdom] [Ear of Ignorance] [Eye of the Past] [Eye of the Future] [Hand of God] [Ripper]
[Azure Dragon Whip] [Happy House] [Door] 10 Grace objects.
In his opinion, he has already held three Grace objects, and he really can't let it go.
Randall really adjusted the timing, Dorothy, Alexander, Sophie, Ellie and other high-level combat power are not in the case of launching an attack, so that Ethan Taylor's advantage is obvious.
Unfortunately, Randall does not know his hole card, cleaning the entry.
This conspiracy, placed on anyone, can not be resolved.
Only he can solve it.
Just clean up the negative entries on Ethan Taylor and the knights, not only can save the lives of this group of Holy See lackeys, but also resolve his crisis.
This is almost the best solution.
Just... since he has already calculated this step, how can Randall ignore his hole card?
Or, this group of people is here to test his hole card?
Randall has long suspected that he has the ability to clean up entries, so he set up such a trap,
If he really saved them, Randall can confirm the guess.
It is not excluded this possibility, because Randall can解除 that old wise man, but also investigate Sophie, Ellie, he will find that the witches around him are not easy to lose control,
But more likely, Landell saw himself summon angels twice and wanted to test if he could summon angels again to resolve this situation.
After figuring this out, Li En decided to use a counter-strategy.
Since you want to see an angel, I'll let you see one.
Appropriately revealing the cards in your hand is just to hide deeper trump cards.
"Simon Moria, there's no use in your sophistry. Please come back with us immediately. If it turns out to be a misunderstanding,
we will naturally let you leave."
Ethan Taylor tilted his head, and the knights wanted to rush into Dorothy's tower to arrest him.
"Wait, who said I'm unwilling to cooperate with the investigation? You should at least allow me to say goodbye to my friends."
Li En said with a smile.
Ethan Taylor was a little suspicious, seeing Li En's confident appearance, but he didn't let the knights continue to advance.
This is Dorothy's tower after all.
He still had to give the legendary witch some face, even if she wasn't in the tower right now.
"You want to summon an angel in a busy city?"
Fia asked.
She had already seen through everything when she saw Ethan Taylor and the Knights, including Landell's intention to test Li En.
"Do you want to witness it?"
Li En reached out and invited Fia.
Fia nodded, "Okay."
Fia had always been curious about Li En's ability to summon angels at any time.
Li En walking down the tower with Fia surprised Ethan Taylor and the others.
The fact that High Priestess Fia didn't die at sea was already very puzzling to Archbishop Ethan Taylor.
Now, seeing the close relationship between the two, the suspicion in Ethan Taylor's heart deepened.
Could these two have been having an affair?
"High Priestess Fia."
The two priests and many fathers, pastors, and members of the Knights saluted Fia respectfully.
Fia's safe return from the sea had already earned the respect of most people in the Holy See. Almost everyone thought Fia would die at sea, but she survived, and even the knight escorting her was fine. This proved that Fia was blessed by the true God.
When she submitted her resignation, many people in the Holy See came to persuade her, including her teacher High Priest Carl and Elizabeth, but she resolutely chose to leave.
This made many people feel sorry.
"I'm no longer a priestess."
Fia said lightly.
"High Priestess Elizabeth, we meet again."
Li En looked at Elizabeth with a smile, feeling that she was the high priestess he had the most connection with besides Fia.
"Yes, I actually don't want to appear in front of you so frequently, as it will arouse too much jealousy among women."
Elizabeth felt that nothing good happened every time she met Li En, and she just wanted to stay away from this controversial figure to protect herself.
Although she used to have a good impression of Li En, this good impression had gradually turned into a slightly fearful respect.
After all, the young man in front of her was already one of the few special-grade believers in the Holy See.
So she used honorifics unconsciously when speaking.
Considering that Elizabeth was a friend of Dorothy, Li En decided to resolve her entry first, so as not to turn her into an innocent human bomb.
"Elizabeth, get in the carriage, let's catch up."
Li En invited.
Elizabeth looked at Fia, and for some reason, it felt like she was signaling to the hostess.
Fia nodded slightly before Elizabeth got into the carriage.
This carriage was originally used to detain Li En, so there was no one in the carriage.
Ethan Taylor was naturally unwilling to ride in the same car as Li En, which gave Li En room to operate.
Elizabeth sat next to Li En, and Li En suddenly approached, startling Elizabeth so much that her whole body leaned against the wall of the carriage.
Although Elizabeth was not a naive girl, she was still nervous and her heart was beating faster in the face of this sudden attack.
"What? Is this the first time you've seen me so closely?"
Li En asked.
Elizabeth's cheeks were slightly red, "Your Excellency Li En, what are you going to do?"
"Save you."
Li En said, grabbing Elizabeth's entry.
[Inspiration Shielded] Your inspiration has been shielded, making it impossible to discover the newly added red entry on your body.
[Entry Points +100] (Total Points 6001100)
Although Elizabeth didn't know what Li En did, she immediately felt the newly added red entry on her body [Death Warning].
Elizabeth's face was pale, and she thought that Li En had cast some kind of curse on her.
"You-you."
She was about to resist when she felt the [Death Warning] entry shatter.
[Entry Points +2000] (Total Points 6003100)
"It's okay now."
Li En stepped back.
Elizabeth wanted to ask what exactly happened, but she didn't dare to speak.
The man in front of her gave her a completely different feeling from before, full of fatal temptation and danger.
After about 5 minutes of silence, Elizabeth figured out the cause and effect of the matter.
The Pope already suspected her loyalty to the Holy See, so he sent her on this mission.
It shouldn't be just her who had negative entries. Maybe the whole team, except for the Archbishop, had become hidden bombs.
And the purpose of doing all this was to eliminate Li En Moria.
The Pope decided to take action against Li En Moria.
She was just cannon fodder caught in the crossfire.
But how exactly did Li En save her just now? How did he remove the curse and negative status?
Elizabeth only felt Li En lightly touch her shoulder, and felt nothing else.
Li En's hand speed is now so fast that he can clear the target's entry without being seen by the target at all.
So he neither knocked Elizabeth unconscious nor used anesthetics on her.
"I'm carrying a stone that eliminates curses, called the Angel Stone. Seeing that your condition was not right,
I used the stone to clean it up for you."
Li En raised a piece of mermaid crystal and said casually.
In short, Elizabeth had never seen a mermaid crystal, so she naturally didn't know if what Li En said was true.
"Is this also an enchanted object?"
Elizabeth believed Li En's statement, because she couldn't think of a better explanation.
It's impossible that Li En is the reincarnation of the Tiger God, and touching her shoulder can take away the red entry on her body, right?
"No, an angel's gift."
Li En sat back in his original position, and Elizabeth felt the pressure disappear instantly, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then will you help the Knights? They may be the same as me."
Elizabeth asked hesitantly, although she knew that it was a bit difficult to ask.
The Holy See team came to arrest Li En, but instead asked Li En to save them.
"Why should I help them?"
"Just-just like you helped me."
Elizabeth said.
"They are different from you."
Li En looked at Elizabeth, "If they were all as good-looking as you, I might consider it."
