God seal

The servants of the gods had just finished their daily morning prayers, and after saluting the old man on the stage, they filed out from both sides of the temple.

Someone came in from the outside, opposite to the destination of the servants who left.He walked up to the old man.

"The Holy Knight Order has issued an arrest warrant." Yvonne said, "As long as Eddie is found, bring him back immediately."

The old man who was reciting the scriptures raised his head, a sigh flashed in his pale eyes.

"Eddie was the one I watched growing up, he was a kind kid."

"But being too kind will make him lose himself." Yvonne said, "I also watched him be promoted from a knight candidate to a paladin with my own eyes. Unlike you, I noticed his shortcomings. His belief is not firm enough, It is easy to be confused by unnecessary foreign objects. That's why this time, he made the move to defect from the temple."

Du Yi, who has been promoted to the head of the Holy Knights of Light, has a cold tone. When talking about Eddie, it is like talking about an irrelevant stranger, not a partner who has depended on him several times.If it is said that Yvonne was rigorous but still a bit angry when he went out on an adventure with Searle, now he is like a plaster sculpture, perfect in appearance, but without blood and soul.

He said: "We dedicate everything to Dui. Eddie betrayed his oath and must be punished. I am here to inform you that I have sent my knights to arrest Eddie, regardless of life or death."

The Holy One sighed.

"The matter has come to this point. Eddie's struggle and hesitation in faith are also an indispensable sacrifice for us on the way to practice the truth. We will remember him."

Yvonne bowed deeply to the saint, turned and left.

"Which knight did you send after him?" the Holy One asked finally, before he stepped out the door.

"House."

In the tavern, Eddie struggled to get up, and his blood-stained hand touched the back of the chair beside him, leaving a bloodstain.

"I didn't betray my faith." The platinum-blonde short-haired knight said, even though he was seriously injured, his gaze never became weak. "I left the temple just to stick to my faith."

The paladin known as House apparently didn't believe him.

"You let me down, Eddie." He said, "When I first saw you outside the White Rose City, I was a candidate for a knight in 'ordinance'. Both you and Lord Yvonne Excellent paladins, you are my target! But now, look at you, betraying the temple, hiding in the tavern and being chased like a street mouse. Where do you have the honor of a knight? Where do you have faith? "

Eddie coughed, "I didn't betray..."

"Enough!" House suddenly roared, "You disobeyed Lord Yvonne's order when the temple needed you most. This is betrayal! Now that the bishop of Guangming is missing in many areas, it is because people are panicking, but everyone is still united Dealing with 'Magic Addiction'. And you, you're a runaway coward."

Clap clap, someone applauds.While everyone else was watching the play quietly, the applause came from the corner of the tavern, which seemed very abrupt.Along with the applause, there was a joking voice.

"That's right. The Temple of Light united to deal with the crisis, but the traitors fled the battle and flinched. In comparison, everyone else in your temple seems noble. However, what are your achievements in dealing with 'Magic Addiction'?" Addiction' has not been suppressed until now, and the Temple of Light is really efficient in doing things."

"Who is it?" House turned his gaze to the tavern, "If you are dissatisfied, please advise in person."

No one spoke. Facing the piercing eyes of the paladin, everyone wanted to pretend to be a gopher and sneak into the cracks.

At this time, a figure staggered out of the corner as if being pushed by someone.

"It's you." House stared at him, "Your Excellency seems to have some opinions on the Temple of Light?"

Neil was indeed pushed by someone. He glared at Bethian. It was obvious that the mage himself was provoking, but he pushed him out as a shield.However, the situation was irreversible, and he could only force himself to be calm.

Eddie also looked up at the aqua-haired stranger, and his heart skipped a beat when he noticed his emerald eyes.

"Our business has nothing to do with outsiders, House!" He tried his best to stand in front of Neil, trying to block the other party's sight, "Don't involve innocent people, isn't this Dui's teaching!"

House hesitated.

"You're right, I shouldn't be angry with other people. For the sake of your adherence to the doctrine at this time, Eddie, as long as you obediently go back with me to accept the trial of the temple, I will not embarrass you anymore."

Eddie raised his hand: "...OK."

Just as the paladin was about to shackle the Fallen Knight's hands, someone suddenly made a sound from the slanted ground.

"Wait a minute, I didn't seem to say that this matter has nothing to do with me." Neil couldn't help but said, "My lord knight, you just said that the Temple of Light is doing its best to deal with the'magic addiction'. But you Do you know the news that the Western Sea of ​​Trees is under siege?"

House looked at the stranger, and froze for a moment when he saw Neal's emerald eyes.

"you……"

"The blood of the elves can prevent 'magic addiction'. This rumor has spread throughout the continent. As a result, instead of researching how to fight against demonized creatures, all the living forces in the entire continent are trapped in the sea of ​​elves trying to extract every drop of blood from the elves. Dare to ask, does this have anything to do with the "exhaustive effort" of the noble temple?"

"This is slander." House said angrily, "Lord Sarandeer is our venerable ally, how could we do something unrighteous to his people?"

"Then Sarandir and his people are under siege, why didn't you and your temple send anyone to help this 'respectable ally'?" Neil asked back.

House was dumbfounded for a moment. In fact, these things are not known by a person of his level.

But Neil caught his pause, and went further: "You just said that this 'fallen knight' betrayed the temple because he didn't fulfill the order of the temple, escaped without permission, and even betrayed his faith. Whether he betrayed his faith is not yet known. Talk, didn't you ask him what order the temple gave him, so that a loyal paladin would rather take the risk of betrayal than execute it? Is this order against the doctrine or against him? beliefs, even against morality!"

Neil traveled the continent as a bard, and his eloquence was not comparable to that of a paladin who only knew martial arts.House was momentarily speechless by his questioning, embarrassed and embarrassed.

"Even... even if he has doubts about the order, he can ask the saint to rule instead of running away directly."

"Saint? Oh, you mean the Holy One of Light. Why don't we ask him in person." Neil looked down at Eddie, "Mr. Former Paladin, since you encountered injustice and injustice, why didn't you ask your Holy One , God, ask for a fair verdict?"

There was pain in Eddie's eyes, and the once high-spirited paladin lowered his head at this moment.When House saw this, his heart suddenly became cold.

"Eddie, you—"

"It seems that he saw far more truths in the Temple of Light than you, a self-righteous paladin!" Neil suddenly bent down and helped Eddie up, "And today, you can't take this person away!"

A burst of smoke suddenly exploded in the tavern.Neil took the opportunity to support Eddie and wanted to leave.

"No, I can not……"

"Don't struggle." Neal whispered to him, "If you want to see Sarandeil, come with me."

Eddie glanced at his emerald green eyes and stopped resisting.

When House waved his arms and escaped from the smoke, he saw only their figures running far away.

"Chase!"

He was about to command the servants of the temple to chase after him, but a cold arrow shot from a corner, blocking their way.After the rain of arrows passed, Eddie and Neil were still in front of them.

House's face was livid, and he shook his hands and left.

Neil took Eddie away out of a moment of anger, but he hesitated halfway because he didn't have a complete plan.He himself is still half a prisoner of others, how can he go to the sea of ​​trees with a wounded person?

Eddie saw his hesitation.

"Don't worry about me, please get away yourself first."

Neil glared at him, "Are all you paladins so 'selfless'? Don't worry, I said I would take you away, and I won't break my promise."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt that he had spoken a big word.The way he left the sea of ​​trees is itself suspicious, how to bring this knight back?

"If you want to go back to the sea of ​​trees." At this time, someone came out from the shade in front of the tree, and the pointed ears were particularly noticeable. "We can show you the way."

……

On the fifth day of the siege of Shuhai, the enemy had already started to build a crossing project on the Aixi River.Monte watched this scene from afar.

"Are those mages really unusable for us?" He asked Searle, "If there are mages, these gadgets can be destroyed in a moment."

"In the sea of ​​trees, the abilities of mages are limited, and they may not be able to play a big role." Searle explained, "And I can't trust them yet."

"Then who do you believe? Do you think Bossian really killed his own student?" Monte asked again, "The mage said that Bossian killed the prophet Olivier, don't you believe it? ?”

This time, Searle didn't answer.

After a long time, Monte heard his voice.

"I will use my own eyes to find the answer."
