Not long after arriving at the floating island of the cemetery, Xu Shenxing and the others saw the Adoratrice and her attendant that the giant guard had mentioned.
"Every time I thought that the next time we meet would be when you lead the Church's army to attack the Western Region. I never thought that it would never happen."
The Queen of the Western Region sighed and looked at the Adoratrice not far away.
"With all due respect," Xu Shenxing carefully looked at the so-called Adoratrice for a long time and found that he was not confused by illusions or the like. He then asked the Queen of the Western Region, "Why does the Adoratrice look like a baby?"
It might be a little too much to call her a baby, but from her appearance, she was indeed no more than three years old. It would not be a problem to call her a 'young girl'.
But what the Queen of the Western Region said just now sounded like she was talking to an old acquaintance who was both a friend and a foe. This strange contrast made Xu Shenxing a little confused.
"Or is that girl who looks like an unmarried mother holding a baby the Adoratrice you mentioned?"
"Rude! How rude is this?! "
Before the Queen of the Western Region could speak, the girl holding the little girl had already blushed and scolded loudly.
"I am the chief attendant of the Adoratrice, the Sword Princess Anirita who has inherited the name of Holy Silver!" The girl with short chestnut-colored hair first sternly cleared her name of being an unmarried mother, then she raised the little girl in her hand and said, "This is the Holy Spirit who can guide the future of light and hope for mankind, the Holy Spirit who has been the benchmark of the Pure White Church since the Legendary Era, Lady Erilia!"
She had been alive since the Legendary Era? Then she was about a thousand years old?
Xu Shenxing suddenly looked at the little girl in shock.
"Anirita, put me down, I'm a little dizzy …"
The Adoratrice who was unconsciously raised high by her attendant made a weak protest.
"Ah, I'm sorry!"
The girl with short chestnut-colored hair immediately came back to her senses and put the future of mankind in her hands, the benchmark of the Church back in place.
"That Saintess is indeed someone from the same era as me. However, her existence is somewhat special. Things like age cannot leave any traces on her body. Her appearance is related to her current state." The Queen of the Western Region casually explained to Xu Shenxing, "From the looks of it, I'm afraid she just lost a lot of blood not long ago."
"Could it be that her period is bleeding?"
Xu Shenxing replied without rhyme or reason. As a result, all the girls present rolled their eyes at him.
"This appearance … looks like Mister Xi's prophecy came true."
The Saintess, who was in the arms of the girl with short chestnut-colored hair, stared straight at Xu Shenxing. "Although I already knew the content of the prophecy … the degree of similarity is still surprising."
"Oh, so you know about that prophecy too …"
As a result, the Queen of the Western Region, who had been looking forward to seeing the strange expression of the Saintess, suddenly showed a bored expression.
"After all, in this world, the only ones who can survive until the day the prophecy comes true are you and me, the immortals. It's understandable that he would tell me, isn't it? "
The baby-sized Saintess said these words in a rather mature tone, which made Xu Shenxing feel very uncomfortable.
Then, Xu Shenxing suddenly noticed that Louise, who had always been talkative, seemed to have stopped talking. He looked at the girl strangely.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just a little nervous."
The girl replied in a small voice.
Xu Shenxing suddenly realized.
Come to think of it, this girl was a necromancer.
Although the mayor of Luomosi and the Queen of the Western Region did not care about her identity, the one in front of them was now recognized by the Queen of the Western Region as a true Saintess of the Church. Moreover, she was of the highest rank. Even with Xu Shenxing's shallow knowledge of this world, he knew that the religion with the largest number of believers was the Pure White Church.
Because of this, it was natural that Louise would feel nervous in front of them.
"So, what is the purpose of your visit this time?"
The Queen of the Western Region asked the two visitors from the Pure White Church. It was probably after they had finished their reminiscing that the Queen of the Western Region regained her regal bearing.
"The Cemetery of Martyrs that the Pure White Church had sealed off for almost a hundred years had been raided. Many of the corpses were missing, and although we caught a few of the raiders, they seemed to have been brainwashed. Their words were all jumbled up and illogical." The Saintess had also entered a businesslike state, although it made Xu Shenxing feel even more out of place. "In the end, we only managed to find out that the mastermind seemed to need 'powerful corpses when they were alive'."
"I see. I think I understand now."
The Queen of the Western Region nodded, her wine-red eyes showing a hint of coldness.
From Xu Shenxing's point of view, the raiders who raided the Cemetery of Martyrs of the Pure White Church were in cahoots with those who raided Adrian's Cemetery.
And when it came to 'powerful corpses when they were alive', Xi Adrian, who had saved the world a thousand years ago, was naturally the best candidate!
Obviously, the people of the Pure White Church had also thought of this, which was why they came here to see if they could catch the mastermind.
"But unfortunately, you've come too late. I've already put a lot of people in this cemetery to patrol and guard it. There are even Undead Dragons and Black Merit Knights. If those criminals are still in their right minds, I'm afraid they won't come here again. "
The Queen of the Western Region said proudly.
Then, in the next moment, there was a violent explosion at the cemetery not far away.
Xu Shenxing and the Saintess looked at the Queen of the Western Region at the same time, who had been bragging just a moment ago.
The latter was stunned for a moment, and then she was embarrassed and angry at being slapped in the face.
"It seems that the Undead Dragons and Black Merit Knights can't stop those people." The Saintess mocked.
"It's fine." The Queen of the Western Region took a deep breath, and her eyes were cold. "There's still the Vampire Queen."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned into countless bats that blotted out the sky and flew towards the site of the explosion.
"Annie, let's go too."
"Yes, Saintess!"
Then, the unmarried mother carrying the baby also quickly left.
"Lord Evil God?"
Seeing the two members of the Pure White Church leave, Louise finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xu Shenxing, only to find that the latter's expression wasn't very good.
Because this world wasn't spherical, people's vision was much wider than on Earth. And with Xu Shenxing's eyesight, he could actually see where the explosion was.
It was a huge diamond-shaped crystal prism, with a line of words from this world engraved on it.
