In the prison of the Snake King Association's headquarters, Lisa was lying on the floor looking at her dinner. It had already been more than twenty days since she was captured by a group of criminals. These twenty days had been a living hell for Lisa. Lisa, who grew up in the Knights, had never felt that the world was so evil. She had always been taught that the world was so beautiful. She must firmly support the will of the Radiant God and contribute her strength to the Church. She had always thought that the world was beautiful, until she came to this hell.
In this place, Lisa had seen many evil and terrifying things that she had never imagined in her entire life. Disregarding human life was just a small matter here. In this place, she had seen many things that made people wish they were dead. The main thing was that if they were targeted by the Snake King Association, even death would be a difficult thing to do.
The first day that Lisa was captured, she was tortured. The people of the Snake King Association were very familiar with these things. They had many ways to torture her. After being tortured to the point of hovering between life and death, Lisa finally said something that she couldn't say. That was the matter regarding Li Huailin.
It was obvious that the matter regarding the Divine Sword and Li Huailin's identity were important secrets. Not only to the Radiant Church, but to all the races on the continent other than the Undead. Of course, it couldn't be said casually, especially to an evil organization like the Snake King Association. When Lisa first arrived here, she wanted to die. However, she understood that she still had an important mission to complete, which was to bring this news back. Therefore, she persevered. Unfortunately, she couldn't persevere in the end. Finally, she couldn't bear the torture and revealed this matter.
She felt that she was a sinner who had betrayed the Radiant Church and her own faith. After losing her faith, the thing that she was most worried about happened. She was actually afraid. She was afraid that she would stay in this place and live a life worse than death. She was also afraid that something even more terrifying would happen to her. After all, there were other girls in the surrounding prisons. Some of them were even with her for a period of time. Now, they were all gone. As for where they went, Lisa couldn't imagine it.
"No matter who it is, please save me." Lisa looked at the dinner on the floor and thought, "If no one can save me, then let me die."
Perhaps the power of prayers accumulated over the years in the service of the gods had come true. As soon as Lisa finished speaking, the door of the cell on the other side opened. However, Lisa didn't realize that someone was looking for her. Instead, the people of the Snake King Association wanted to drag her out and torture her again.
"Quick, let me die." Lisa lay motionless on the ground. She had already given up hope. But at that moment, she heard a somewhat familiar voice.
"Damn, the environment of this cell is not bad." On the other side, Li Huailin sighed. The conditions of the cells here were much better than he had imagined. At least it wasn't a gloomy and terrifying cellar. Instead, it was very clean, like a single cell.
"After all, the women here still have to be sold. It's better to be clean. If they get sick, it'll be harder to sell them." Malev, who was in front, personally led the way for Li Huailin. Of course, Malev was no longer crawling on the ground. Li Huailin also felt that this speed was too slow, so his subordinates found a wheelchair-like cart and pushed Malev forward. Although Malev's injuries were more serious, the doctors here still recommended that he receive complete treatment immediately. However, Malev insisted on leading the way for Li Huailin, so they led him to the cell.
"That woman is also going to be sold?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, this is very special. It's a female knight, very rare. It's very easy to find a buyer. Right now, we just need to make her obedient." Malev said, "She's inside. Your Excellency, watch your step."
"Huh?" Lisa, who was lying on the ground, heard the voice. It was mainly Li Huailin's voice. She was very familiar with this voice. Although she had only heard it a few times, she couldn't forget what had happened that day. Hearing this voice, Lisa immediately wanted to stand up and take a look. Unfortunately, her body had been drugged by these people, so she couldn't move at all. It was already good enough that she could eat by herself, so she could only crawl on the ground.
After crawling to the door of the cell with difficulty, Lisa raised her head forcefully. She just happened to see Li Huailin lowering his head to look at her. In an instant, all the memories from more than 20 days ago surged in front of Lisa. Especially the image of Li Huailin standing in the middle of hundreds of corpses. It had been lingering in Lisa's mind. She even had nightmares about this image at night. Now, the nightmare was about to come true.
"Yo, you look good. I thought you were tortured to the point where you didn't look like a human anymore. Isn't that good?" Li Huailin looked at Lisa, who was lying on the ground. Although he could see that she was very weak, her appearance was still relatively good. At least, she still had the charm of a beauty. Of course, this was because this was a product for sale. Even if it wasn't for sale, there would still be people who wanted to see it. Although the Snake King Association tortured them, it was only their hearts that were tortured. Their appearances were still intact.
"It's you, the demon!" Lisa blurted out.
"Huh? Demon? "Li Huailin smiled." It seems that our misunderstanding is quite big. "
"It was you who killed all the townspeople in Marianna Town. I saw it with my own eyes. You are a demon!" Lisa immediately shouted.
"Oh? How did I kill them? "Li Huailin asked directly. He wanted to know how much Lisa knew.
"I … I don't know, but I saw that you were in contact with the undead. It was definitely you who did it," Lisa immediately said.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. It seemed that Lisa didn't know about the Godly Sword. Speaking of which, Pope Carlo also said that the Godly Sword was a secret. It seemed that Lisa didn't know about it either. She probably only knew that he was in contact with the undead. However, if this matter was heard by people who knew about the Godly Sword, they would immediately associate it with the whole thing. Malev probably heard about the situation from Lisa as well. Therefore, Li Huailin still needed to control this female knight.
"It seems that we have a little misunderstanding," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Misunderstanding?" Lisa said, feeling a little strange.
"How could I have anything to do with the undead? I am a member of the Church of Light," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"What?" Lisa was stunned. "This … this is impossible. I am a knight of the Church of Light. I have never seen you or heard about this. Don't talk nonsense!"
"Of course it's true. I am the Cardinal of the Human Parish. In theory, my rank is higher than yours," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"You're lying!" Lisa immediately said.
"No, I'm not lying. You can take a look at this." Li Huailin immediately took out the token of the Church, which represented his identity as a Cardinal. There was the emblem of the Church of Light on it. This was the token that he had obtained during the succession ceremony. It did not have any additional attributes, but it could be teleported to the Cathedral of the Church of Light in the main city at any time. It was a very convenient item.
Lisa quickly took it and looked at it. Of course, as a Church Knight, she naturally knew how to distinguish between such things. As soon as she held it in her hand, she knew that it was real and that it was still working, which meant that its owner was indeed Li Huailin. If it was snatched away by someone else, this emblem would quickly lose its effect. This was a precautionary measure to prevent the important emblem from falling into the hands of others.
"You … you are really the Archbishop of the Church of Light?" Lisa really believed him. After all, the emblem on her hand was absolutely real. It could not be lied to.
"I have already said that I am the Archbishop of the Church of Light. You can believe me," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"But … but I clearly saw you at that time …" Lisa could not understand what was going on.
"That was the Pope's plan." Li Huailin immediately began to make up stories. "But this is the Church's secret. I can't reveal it to you, but you have to believe me."
"This …" Lisa pondered for a moment. Because she had been locked up for more than 20 days, her ability to distinguish things had rapidly declined. Coupled with the fact that she was now isolated from the outside world, Lisa did not have any information at all. So after thinking for a moment, Lisa nodded. "I … I believe you."
"En, good girl." Li Huailin nodded.
"Archbishop, please save me …" Since he was one of them, Lisa immediately began to beg for help. She looked at Malev and hurriedly said, "This man, he captured me and forced me to say … I … I said something that I shouldn't have said, I betrayed …"
"Don't say it, I am here to save you." Li Huailin said with a smile. "You see, I have already discussed with them. I will let you out now, and you will follow me back to the Human Parish."
"Really?" Lisa immediately said. "But I … but I … Lord Archbishop, I have already …"
"I know, we will talk about your punishment later. For now, follow me." Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, I … have already resolved to face any punishment. Thank … Thank you, Lord Archbishop." Lisa immediately nodded.
