When night fell, the area to the east of Dragon City was peaceful, forming a stark contrast with the bustling and noisy Sleepless District at the center of the city. This area once belonged to the dozens of religious forces in Brettonia, but now it was basically monopolized by Holy Light Religion. A faint Holy Light shrouded the Holy Area, expelling the night and bringing peace.
Tap, tap …
Between two rows of thick and heavy religious buildings, a woman's figure appeared extremely small.
The woman walked lightly on the bright and clean milky white stone path. Every step she took made a firm sound, disturbing the peace of the night.
The woman was tall and slender, and her plain holy robe could hardly conceal her voluptuous curves. Her wavy brown hair hung in front of her chest, and her bright red lips were particularly eye-catching under the night sky.
The faint holy light on both sides of the path gathered together as the woman walked, as if she was born with an affinity. The woman seemed to be draped in a layer of platinum gauze, revealing a pure and holy temperament.
She went straight to the corner of the Cathedral, in front of a gray-black fortress. It was one of the few places in the entire Cathedral that was not shrouded by the Holy Light. It was also one of the most prestigious institutions of the Holy Light Religion, the Inquisition for Heresy.
In fact, most of the powerful religions in the Western Continent have similar arbitration organizations, but none of them could be as notorious as the Inquisition of Heresy.
Although she was the Saintess of the Church and could barely be included in the top management of the parish church, she did not have much contact with the Inquisition. This time, she did not have enough confidence. However, considering her mission, the woman still took a deep breath and knocked on the heavy wooden door.
"I'm Marina, the saintess of Dragon City parish. I want to see the chief judge."
The woman stabilized her breathing and made her request.
After a long time, the wooden door slowly opened, revealing endless darkness. In the darkness, a few pairs of red eyes stared at her.
Even though she had been promoted to a high-grade profession, Marina still felt uncomfortable being stared at by the Night Judge of the Inquisition.
"Lead the way."
The Inquisitor responded silently, and the red light gradually disappeared into the darkness. Marina quickly followed, and her figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
After walking for an unknown distance in the darkness, a spot of light suddenly appeared in her field of vision. Marina adjusted her eyes to adapt to the sudden light. However, he discovered that it was a candlestick, and beside it sat an old man who looked like he had one foot in the grave. Marina's heart tensed up. She recognized the ordinary-looking old man as Count Conrad, the chief inquisitor of Dragon City Parish.
He used to be a famous great aristocrat in the territory of Brettonia. When he was young, he lost his true love due to an accident. After that, he threw himself into the embrace of the Holy Light and gradually grew to become the regional Chief Inquisitor. Count Conrad was a truly ruthless person. He was even more powerful than Archbishop Rowan. However, in recent years, he was already old and did not care much about anything. He seemed to have been sent to Dragon City's adjudicator's office for retirement, but only when he faced this old man did he sense that he still had a great amount of vitality in his body.
"Did you come for the two Dragon City Guards?"
Count Conrad sat next to the candlestick with his body hunched. He flipped through a thick dossier in his hand and asked without raising his head.
Marina forced herself to muster up her courage. "Yes, I came for them. They are innocent. They are definitely not spies!"
"What guarantee do you have?" asked Count Conrad.
"I … guarantee it with my reputation!"
"Oh, with your reputation?" Count Conrad unhurriedly said, "The reputation of the parish's Saintess has some weight now."
Marina saw that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better. "Then, can you please let those two people go?"
"Let them go?" Count Conrad closed the dossier, raised his eyes and glanced at Marina, and then said, "You Saintesses are really stupid and ignorant. In addition to the bright appearance, the inside is rotten from beginning to end. It's empty, just like an entertainer, fooling the ignorant people under the sun. The real world cannot tolerate you idiots. "
Listening to Conrad's unusually vicious and sharp words, Marina's heart was surprisingly calm.
"In short, can you please let them go?"
"No, they are important suspects." Conrad coldly refused, "I let you in because this old man wanted to see with my own eyes how stupid the current Saintess has become. Now that I have seen it, you can go."
"Count Conrad!"
"Not willing? You think I'm bullying you? Very well, then I'll make an exception and say a few more words. This time, although the report against those two Nine Regions people is anonymous, it's very strong. There is enough evidence to prove that they are inextricably linked to the Nine Regions people who attacked the Eastern Church some time ago. "
"But that's not enough to prove that they are spies! I can prove it to you! "
Conrad said, "Perhaps, but I don't care whether they are spies or not. Therefore, even if you really prove something, I don't care. What I care about is the identity of Dragon City Guard."
"The identity of Dragon City Guard?"
"For so many years, Bedivere has managed Dragon City Guard like a subway bucket. Rowan is old and has no initiative, so he has never been able to break through the situation. Then let's take this opportunity to let the inquisitor push him. Dragon City Guard colluded with the Nine Regions heretics. This reason should be enough for the church to take further action. "
"But this is a lie!"
"Perhaps, but who cares? As long as my men interrogate them, they'll say anything. " Count Conrad lightly said, "Therefore, I should thank you. If you didn't lead those two people to the church, it would be very difficult for us to make our move. Bedivere's people rarely enter the church, and it was you who gained their trust. "
Marina felt dizzy. Was, was this really the doing of the Holy Light Believers? Wouldn't this kind of vicious action attract the sanction of the Holy Light?
Even though the inquisitor had been notorious for a long time, Marina always thought that it was just an occasional extreme action of a few fanatics. Unexpectedly, the darkness here has broken through her imagination!
"Now, those two women should be being tortured. I don't know how long they can hold on, one day, two days? Holy Maiden, you should go back and quietly wait for the good news. The news that Dragon City Guard colluded with the Nine Regions heretics will soon spread throughout Brettonia. "Count Conrad sneered and reached out to extinguish the candle, wanting to plunge everything into darkness.
"In your dreams!"
Along with a loud roar, a dazzling brilliance bloomed in the darkness. A silver sword light pierced straight at Count Conrad. The swift and fierce sword aura caused the count's expression to change. He immediately lifted the cloak behind him and wrapped the longsword with a ball of shadow. In an instant, the shadow was cut into pieces by the sword wind, and the Count took this opportunity to teleport to the distance.
The inquisitor was the Count's territory, and every bit of darkness was his help. Here, the Count was omnipotent.
However, the next moment, a huge golden fireball suddenly burned, expelling all the surrounding darkness. In a spacious stone room, several embarrassed inquisitors clustered around Count Conrad. They were surprised by this sudden change and the exposure of their whereabouts.
"It can expel the eternal night enchantment, is this dragon fire!?" Conrad squinted his eyes and took in the golden fireball into his field of vision. Then, he was shocked. "Bedivere! How did you come in? When did you come in? "
"Humph!" Bedivere shook his head, angrily snorted, and then quietly threw an abandoned ring wreckage into the dragon fire, making it burn even more fiercely.
"You dare to make a move on my people, yet you didn't think that I would come? Dragon City is my territory. In here, there is no place that I can't enter. As for when … "
While speaking, Bedivere's eyes turned to Marina. "When you thank her for her assistance."
Marina's whole body was cold, as if she had fallen into an ice cave. "Bedivere, you misunderstood …"
"Over the years, I have indeed misunderstood a lot." Bedivere coldly retracted his eyes and no longer paid attention to Marina.
Conrad grinned. "What an unexpected appearance. Unfortunately, you're brave but not astute! Since you've come today, don't be in a hurry to leave! "
While laughing, the Chief Inquisitor turned into a thick shadow. The eternal night enchantment that was expelled by the dragon fire also quickly recovered, swallowing the surrounding area into darkness.
As the Chief Inquisitor, even though Conrad was old, he still had the strength of an intermediate high order warrior. Admittedly, he was inferior to Bedivere, but in this inquisition, there was a Dragon Trap Array that targeted the Dragon Clan's bloodline. Once it was launched, the Dragon Clan's power would be suppressed to the lowest point. At that time, he had full confidence that he could behead the illustrious Dragon City Master!
"Ridiculous bug." With that, Bedivere suddenly threw away the dragon fire in his right hand and pulled out the long sword from his waist. Rows of mysterious inscriptions suddenly appeared on the heavy sword.
"Former king, grant me victory!"
Along with his firm prayer, the inscriptions on the sword body lit up the surrounding area as if it was daytime. Bedivere's imposing manner multiplied. It was a brand new power that was completely different from the Dragon Clan's bloodline.
At the same time, Count Conrad was horrified. "This is the power of the Knight King, and you still have it …"
The next moment, the silver sword light, as if it was splitting the sky and the earth, swept out in all directions with endless power.
When the sword wind stopped, starlight sprinkled down.
This indestructible inquisition that was blessed by the Holy Light and sheltered by the shadow was torn into pieces by Bedivere's sword, leaving only broken tiles and debris.
In the ruins, the groans of the injured inquisitors rose one after another. And in front of Bedivere, Count Conrad fell to the ground with a horrified expression. Just now, the sword wind brushed past his neck, which almost took his life.
Bedivere somewhat wearily retrieved his sword. His eyes swept around and then he saw two familiar figures.
Liu Li's beautiful eyes widened as she incredulously looked around. The girl was holding a chicken leg in her hand. Her cheeks were bulging as she chewed it with difficulty.
"Hot Sun Ninja Nest, huh?"
Just now, she clearly felt a swift and fierce sword wind, but it cleverly avoided her and Little White. Then, the brick wall collapsed, and everything around them was shattered. However, she and Little White were safe and sound.
Bai Shixuan was also surprised. "Is, is this the reinforcement that Senior Brother mentioned? Are we going to rush out now? "
Bedivere looked at the two people and scolded, "Why are you two in a daze? Quickly run!"
With that, he took a step forward and grabbed the two girls in his hand. Then, with a light tap of his foot, he soared into the sky. His figure turned into a dragon in mid-air and flew toward his castle.
After an unknown amount of time, when the figure of the dragon completely disappeared into the night, in the ruins, a tall woman sat down on the ground. Her soft and beautiful face was miserable.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't even look at her.
How did things turn out like this?
—
At the same time, a black-clothed young man, who was sneaking toward the direction of the Holy Church to save people, was stunned as he looked at the ruins of the inquisition in the distance.
"Is … is that foodie Liu Li so hungry that she even ate the bricks as calcium tablets?"
