Praise of the Light to the Dark Knight

But no matter how terrible the image of Helena was spread, there was never any unreliability when he was in charge of the temple.

Not long ago.

The snowy ridge in the extreme north, the deep mountains are full of wind and snow, and the towns at the foot of the mountain still have a few short summers. The location of the Shadow Moon Temple is relatively high, so the temperature is lower. The dark buildings are in stark contrast to the white snow, but It is not particularly jumping off, because the mountain body that has not been completely covered by snow exposes the dry black rocks, making this magnificent ancient palace faintly blend with the rocks.

Shadowmoon Temple sits on a snowy cliff.

Dark red striped banners were hung outside the towering walls of the palace, and each banner was embroidered with a magnificent painting. Come to think of it, this kind of craftsmanship can even be called a work of art, but the premise is that you don't look closely at what the contents of these scenes are embroidered.

Your Majesty, why did you embroider the picture of Kevin bombing the laboratory, and named the painting Qing Yulan?

Melania, the chief ceremonial officer of the dark palace who passed by, shook her head speechlessly.

The elf lady was wearing a black robe with Shadowmoon's holy emblem embroidered on it. In addition to her clothing, there were two additional dark red embroidered belts hanging from the left and right sides in front of her body. They were embroidered with silver thread. A very obscure but beautiful rune—that is actually Shadowmoon’s Commandments. No one knows which grand ceremony official started to embroider Shadowmoon’s Commandments on red silk cloth to hang around his neck as a scarf. A beautiful tradition.

"Youquan."

The elf immediately stopped, turned around and saluted—the entire Shadow Moon Temple, dare to call her elf name so bluntly, there is only one——

High Priest Helena.

"Teacher." Melania replied gently.

The Chief of Rites who is in charge of the Shadowmoon Discipline is actually a very gentle elf. His long hair was originally blue, but Melania probably felt that the image was too gentle and not like a dark priest, (and Kevin has hinted many times that red matches The cultural implication formed by green in human culture is usually relatively vulgar) imitating Helena's hair color and dyed it pure white. Unfortunately, even if this female elf can imitate Helena's color matching, she can't imitate the hair color on him. fierce.

"Are you leaving for the Temple of Light?"

Helena nodded: "Yes, the whole temple will be handed over to you for the time being."

Melania bowed her head in response.

But the elf asked: "Teacher, do you have a choice between Kevin and Et Gaya?"

Helena sneered: "Kevin has never been on my list, it's always because you think he's got something to do, and he doesn't think so himself."

Melania looked up in a trance. In this painting by Kaiwenza's laboratory, the vivid scene of the priest's tears and snot flowing together was vividly portrayed.

The female elf sighed helplessly: "Then you have already decided on Et Gaya."

The heir——Priest Siyue wants to choose a successor. Although the outside world thinks that the priest—Kevin, who has a terrifying reputation no less than Helena’s—will definitely be elected, Helena and Kevin themselves are very clear. He doesn't have the perseverance to be a temple, and even Helena has too much black history of Kevin's childhood, such as——

"If you are so timid, afraid of the dark, afraid of the dead, and even afraid of the soundtrack of bards singing horror stories, you will be scared by your own undead army and dare not sleep in the middle of the night, and you will go to taverns because there are too many drinks to choose from. Sitting there." Helena showed a gentle smile inexplicably, "he has been pretending better and better over the years, but in reality...forget it, I threw the temple to him, and I have to listen to him for everything big and small. Yes, he must not be scared to cry every night? With his nature, he was regarded as a victim of black magic persecution by the holy white knights of Kantana Loa. At that time, my good student was almost ten years old. The black mage of the year."

Mentioning this dark history, Melania couldn't help laughing, saying that the terrifying undead creatures summoned by her were only horrifying in appearance, and they were so scared that they fell pale on the ground and couldn't get up. The Holy White Knight "saved"...

Kevin probably won't be able to regain his face in front of Helena in his life.

"However, Et Gaya doesn't quite meet the requirements."

"No one is born with the requirements," Helena said. "That's why I expelled him. I heard that taking a big blow can make people grow quickly."

Melania: "..."

She especially wanted to say... Teacher, don't experiment with the strange educational experiences you have heard, okay?Have you forgotten that Et Gaya almost asked you to develop undead spell casting materials when he was picked up?

"The first time I saw him, I knew that his grades in the future would not be inferior to mine, and his realm was higher than Kevin at the age of ten... It's just that he has always wanted to be recognized and needed by others, but he It needs to be known that only when he can accept a dark self calmly, can he stay awake, stick to his heart in front of all external objects and vanity, and do what he should do."

"Yes... Teacher, I also hope that he will have that day." Melania said with a smile.

Helena looked at the elf for a long time, and suddenly laughed. He touched Melania's hair abnormally like a little girl, and even messed it up.

Melania blushed immediately, and accentuated her words: "Teacher! I... I am one hundred and three years old this year, and I am older than you!"

Helena laughed loudly, "Yeah, you've lived for so many years...but you're still a young girl, how nice it is."

Among the three students, the elf Melania is actually more in line with the heir standard. Et Gaya is excellent, but there is a very important plus point in comparison - Melania is an outstanding A dark magic spellcaster who knows all the secrets of Shadow Moon.

"You've got 17 more years to come of age, Spring," said Helena.

The elf was called by her real name directly by the teacher, and her shyness became more intense. She lowered her head, grabbed her sleeve, and swayed her body from side to side. The wind and snow in the northern region became so warm for a while.

It was so warm that Melania suddenly wanted to cry.

Compared with Kevin, who has been pushed for so many years and hasn't put a wall on the wall, she is the one who was not on the list of heirs from the beginning.

Even though she lives in a human-dominated temple, Helena still strictly abides by the custom of the natural elves reaching adulthood at 120 years old, and never asks her to take on the responsibilities of adulthood prematurely, and he never even calls her by the human-sounding name.

At that time, Melania secretly listened to the corner. She heard Helena and a priest of the Temple of Light say:

"I don't want to see another elf in the world who can't use his original name and language openly."

Melania has indeed been worried for a long time, if one day she needs to abandon her identity as an elf and become the leader of the Dark Temple, will she really be able to do it?

Fortunately, Priest Siyue never thought of asking her to do this multiple-choice question... Thinking of this, Melania really cried. It's good not to be an adult, and no one would blame a little girl for crying of.

With the igniting of the beacon fire, the crisis of Yinxin Fortress quickly became known all over the world. At the same time, in the capital of Osland, Helena, as the priest of Siyue, was naturally the guest of honor at various banquets of the nobles. When he learned of the crisis in the fortress, he also heard the urgent news from the secret report below:

"A maddened dark knight slashed and killed the poor victims infected by the plague in the silver heart fortress, and kidnapped the priest of light who has made great contributions!"

Helena couldn't hold back a sigh of admiration from the bottom of her heart——

Who said his parenting experience was all wrong?Look how well Atgaya is doing now!

The Oslant Empire can become one of the most powerful countries on the mainland, and it has developed steadily for hundreds of years. It even pushed the front line of the Northwest and the orcs into the mountains, approaching the tribes of the orcs. The ruler of this country must have too many shortcomings. Where people are, Emperor Gesa made a decisive decision and summoned the legion marshal, even skipping the cabinet meeting.

"Send the Magic Legion!"

Overwhelming all the ministers who tried to protest with an unrefutable momentum, after they retreated, Emperor Gesa slumped on a chair, looking at the table full of official documents, and was so irritable that he wanted to throw his hands away!The depressed emperor frantically stuffed desserts into his mouth, and even loosened the belt of his dress to eat more. He also had a baby girl who was kidnapped!Now the Silver Heart Fortress is actually in trouble, and life is almost impossible——

Gesa suddenly yelled, "Who!"

He pulled out the emperor's ceremonial saber, and then swung it violently at the air. If it wasn't for the cake crumbs at the corner of his mouth, he must have been very imposing.

Another whole cake he had placed on the table was carried away with one hand.

Gesa was immediately discouraged, and sat back on the chair—there was only one person in the world who dared to run to the palace to grab the emperor’s dessert—

"Your Excellency, Priest Siyue, can you find me the normal way! I thought it was an assassin!"

Unexpectedly, Helena and Emperor Gesa are actually good friends, perhaps because they both like to eat cakes that are so sweet that they are outrageously sweet?It's just that one is wearing a well-dressed priest's robe, with a slender and elegant figure, and the other... has asked a tailor for the third time this year to move the buttons on his belt forward.

Helena sat on the emperor's desk and said, "Shadow Moon will send out a group of priests to guard the Silver Heart Fortress. You divide half of your magic army and go to the north."

Gesa put on a dirty face and said, "Why don't you guard the temple?"

"The temple is going to the north, and when the paladins leave, they have to follow your magic legion and disguise themselves as soldiers of your legion to hide it." Helena said in an informative tone.

As the emperor, Gesa couldn't hold back from swearing loudly.

He asked: "What are you doing, are you playing exchange? You are too big this time, is the enemy so dangerous?"

Shadowmoon guards the south, and change the temple to Snow Ridge in the north?Go all the way and go to a lot of trouble?

"Because the enemy this time is too familiar with us." Helena finished speaking indifferently, holding the cake, ready to send away, "That's it."

The emperor gestured more than a dozen middle fingers to the position where the black mage disappeared, and summoned the legion marshal again in despair.

After Helena explained the ins and outs of the matter to Ete Gaya and Yalan, as well as their agreement with Emperor Gesa, Ete Gaya had to show a look of admiration.

The great priest likes the adoring eyes of his students, but Et Gaya said:

"Emperor Gesa is really amazing. He actually likes cakes that can kill people as much as you do, teacher."

Slap, Helena couldn't help but wanted to hit him, but she glanced at Yalan, and angrily smashed Sissel against the wall again.

Sissel wanted to cry but had no tears: "Your Excellency, what's wrong with me this time!"
