[Third watch, fourth watch tomorrow]
"I don't like this world either," Salin said, and the badge in his hand suddenly started to absorb the energy of the light shield.
The God Hunting Spear might be a powerful piece of divine equipment, but there wasn't much energy left in it. The weapon spirit was also dead, and all the energy was instantly absorbed by Salin's family badge. Under the tip of the God Hunting Spear, the hard stone ground shattered. The God Hunting Spear flew up and was caught by Neris.
Winter watched as Isabella stood up and left him to go to Salin's side. He didn't stop her. He still sat on the ground and waited quietly.
The gray light on Nicholas' Fallen Scepter flickered and shone into Isabella's body. After confirming that Isabella was fine, Nicholas nodded to Salin.
Salin took out a blank scroll made of star pattern paper and floated it in the air. He quickly wrote the contents of the contract on it with a magic pen. After writing the contract, he handed it to Neris.
Neris took the contract, came to Winter's side, and handed it over.
Winter read the words on the contract word by word, while Silva asked Isabella about what happened after she left in a low voice. Isabella had nothing to hide. She had been by Winter's side ever since she was taken away.
After Isabella finished, Winter stood up and asked Neris for a magic pen. He wrote his name on the contract. The star pattern paper burned and turned into ashes. This meant that the contract was truly completed. Winter didn't play any tricks.
"Your Highness Salin, where's my weapon?" Winter looked at Salin after signing the contract.
Salin glanced at Neris. Neris handed the God Hunting Spear to Winter reluctantly. Winter waved the short spear a few times and felt that it was very smooth. Even without Divine Power, the sharpness and the strength of the material itself could allow him to unleash the greatest power.
Ordinary weapons were too easily damaged for someone of his level.
Isabella was extremely tired. If she wasn't a Magician, even going to the bathroom with Winter beside her would be a problem. Even so, she still felt that her body was filthy beyond compare.
This couldn't be said to Salin. Isabella was in a bad mood. Salin spared Winter, which made it even harder for her to calm down. Would she have to work with this man in the future?
Shika understood what Isabella was thinking. Seeing Winter take the God Hunting Spear, he walked over naturally. Shika suddenly stepped forward and blocked Winter's way, saying, "Salin has temporarily accepted you, but aren't you going to apologize for what you've done?"
Dong shook his head and said, "I'm apologizing, and she's sad as well. Is there a need for that?"
"I'm just asking," Shika said as she swung her club and smashed it down on his head.
Isabella covered her mouth, but saw that no one around her had any intention of helping. Winter frowned and stabbed the God Hunting Spear at Shika's throat.
His movement was extremely fast. Based on his judgment, his God Hunting Spear would be able to pierce through Shika's neck before he could hit him.
The direction of Shika's rod did not change, but he suddenly sped up. It was as if he had predicted Winter's attack. This time, if Dong Hai didn't change his method of counterattack, his head would be the first to explode.
The God Hunting Spear naturally moved horizontally, blocking Shika's rod.
Winter had wanted to stab with his spear again to force Shika back, but he didn't expect the power of the rod to be so great that his wrist cracked.
Shika retracted her rod, and Winter's weapon fell to the ground with a clang.
Shika said coldly, "Salin kept you because it wasn't convenient to fight back then, and he was afraid of hurting Isabella. How strong do you think you are? You can't even block one attack from me. You can only be a one-man Knight Commander. You don't deserve to take another person! "
Winter's already numb heart was stimulated by Shika, and he twitched violently. But his wrist was in so much pain that he couldn't even pick up his weapon, let alone refute Shika's words.
Hearing Shika's scolding of Winter, Isabella's tears immediately fell. She was such a strong woman, and after being taken away by Winter, she had never shown her weak side, which was why Winter didn't hurt her. Whenever Dong saw Isabella, he would think of his daughter.
But Isabella didn't know this. She was under so much pressure by Winter's side that she almost went crazy.
Salin's arrival and acceptance of Winter's surrender left a lot of unhappiness in Isabella's heart. When Shika stepped forward, Isabella felt much better when she saw that Salin didn't stop him. This result surprised her even more.
How did Shika become so strong?
Salin saw that Winter was a little confused, so he said, "Nelis, pick up Winter's weapon. Nicholas, give him some treatment. Let's leave here first."
Salin could feel that there were still some celestial creatures in the cave, but the cave was very complicated, so he didn't need to kill them one by one. It was purely a coincidence that he could find Isabella directly. This kind of good thing couldn't happen all the time.
Winter silently accepted Nicholas' treatment, and then walked out of the cave first, letting Salin and the others follow behind him.
Outside the cave, the demons were waiting patiently. Winter didn't walk fast. When he saw the demons, he was stunned for a moment, and then calmed down. Who were these people around Salin?
His already numb heart was now a little more curious. The demons didn't attack Winter, but only blocked the cave.
Nelis shouted at the demons to retreat. Salin used the Cloud Walking Spell and flew up with Isabella, heading straight for the small platform on the mountain peak.
Throughout the whole process, the people around Salin didn't say much, as if they all knew this would happen.
Winter fell into deep thought. His daughter had been killed by the Vatican, and her soul had completely dissipated. He didn't know what had happened, but Dinicio didn't save her as promised.
No matter what, he wouldn't work for the Vatican anymore, nor had he planned to follow Salin. But in the situation at that time, he would die if he didn't agree. It didn't matter if he died, but Winter wasn't at all satisfied. He wanted to see the Vatican destroyed. He wanted to kill those who tortured his daughter one by one to relieve the pain in his heart.
He didn't return to the Vatican because he knew that the Cardinal and the Inquisition had reached a settlement. Even if he returned, the people of the Inquisition wouldn't be punished.
Even if he became the leader of the Holy Kingdom's Knights again, the result would be the same. Within the Vatican, the position of the Chief Inquisitor was much higher than the leader of the Holy Kingdom's Knights.
A devout believer shouldn't have hatred, but Winter's heart already didn't belong to the God of Light.
"We'll leave after resting for four hours." Salin returned to the platform and set up a tent for Isabella. Then, he let Eleanor and Nicholas carry out more in-depth treatment for her.
Salin sat down outside the tent and called Winter over. As he forged a javelin for Sicar, he asked Winter about the internal affairs of the Vatican.
Salin wasn't afraid of Winter's sneak attack. A huge water flame separated him from Winter. Even a Golden Sword Sage couldn't pass through the water flame to attack him.
Winter felt the power of the water flame and felt complicated. This was different from what Dinicio had said. According to Dinicio, Salin was just a newly advanced Magic Shooter.
After chatting for more than an hour, Salin realized that Winter was indeed someone who had been locked up for a long time. He might not know as much about the internal affairs of the Vatican as Nicholas did. But what Winter knew was about the internal strife of the higher-ups of the Vatican. Nicholas, on the other hand, knew about the middle and lower levels of the Vatican. Both were useful to him.
The javelin was a very low-level magic equipment. Salin didn't need to use much Mental Energy in the process of forging it. As he spoke to Winter, he paid attention to the sounds in the tent.
Soon, Eleanor and Nicholas left the tent. Nicholas nodded to Salin, indicating that Isabella's body was fine. Eleanor didn't say anything. She stepped onto her Elven Wings and flew into the sky. She also healed Isabella. The effects of elven magic were pretty good.
Isabella was fine, but Eleanor was starting to miss home.
"You don't really fit in with my team. Your heart is already dead," Salin said to Winter as he forged the javelin.
Winter's hands were still unable to be used for battle after being healed. He sat in front of Salin and was a little silent.
"If it was thirty years ago, I might have been very envious of you and even wanted to join you seriously," Winter finally said.
"It doesn't matter. As long as you're willing to form an order of knights. I need someone familiar with the expansion of religion to complete this."
"You really want to form the Druidic Order?" Winter asked in disbelief. Salin was a Magician.
"Of course it's true. I signed a contract with you not to restrict you. It's a request of my own."
"But you're a Magician!"
"If you can become a knight of the Druidic Order, why can't I form the Church of Nature?" Salin took out six newly forged javelins from the water flames and placed them beside him. He continued to throw in materials without any intention of stopping.
Winter couldn't understand Salin's words. He had come into contact with many Magicians, and their attitudes towards the Vatican were more or less the same.
"Rebuilding the Druidic Order is an attempt. It's my own business. Therefore, I can't let everyone around me get involved. This is also why I suddenly wanted to use you. Of course, if you do well, I'm willing to support you in terms of materials. There's a time limit on the contract. Our relationship will last for a thousand years. " Salin spoke slowly. The temperature around the water flames was extremely cold. Winter couldn't help but shiver. He hadn't felt this kind of cold in almost a hundred years.
"Aren't you afraid that after a thousand years, I'll control the Druidic Order and become your enemy?"
Salin's gaze passed through the silver-white water flames and looked at Winter. "That's not bad. I won't have to worry about this thousand years of friendship. I'll kill you openly and destroy the Druidic Order while I'm at it."
The mountain breeze blew past, and Winter shivered again. Salin's words were extremely cold. Even his numb heart felt a bone-piercing chill. He had no idea what Salin was trying to do. Did this young Magician want to establish the Druidic Order just because of his personal interests?
He didn't know that after Salin said these words, he felt his heart clear up. All the pent-up worries in his heart were suddenly released, and he no longer felt depressed.
