The Path of Ascension to the Priest

The harsh winter has just arrived, and the snow hasn't completely covered the continent of Statu. The Holy See, located in the main city of the Goss Empire, was lit by a fire on a quiet full moon night. All the priests and priests on duty here Did not see the sun the next day.

The charred corpses of priests put the city into a state of martial law instantly. The Holy See has tens of millions of believers in Staru Continent, spread all over the world. Regardless of the attitude of the Goss Empire towards the Holy See, they will Don't take it lightly at all.

The city was under martial law, and knights in armor patrolled the city to search for every suspicious person. The city gate was closed and no one was allowed to go out, but before that, a group of people had already left here overnight before the arrival of the knights. , Tang Qiu was still in a daze.

The cold wind was blowing on her face, but it couldn't blow away her chaotic thoughts. She thought that she had been in the entertainment circle for many years, and how much painstaking effort she had spent step by step to remove the halo of actress from a walk-on. Enjoying life to the fullest, who knew she fell asleep, and came to this strange western world as soon as she opened her eyes.

The Holy See, the priests, the empire, the knights... Tang Qiu tightened the cloak on her body, and raised her hand to touch her neck, which was tightly covered. When the surrounding environment is surrounded by fire, I was really taken aback.

It was just a little short of dying on the spot.

The priest who escaped from the dead, the unfamiliar environment, the ignorant escape and the unknown danger... Tang Qiu felt that he was about to become a grass that was overwhelmed by the heavy life.

Apart from a good skin, she didn't seem to find any other advantages in this body.

The team Tang Qiu was in was a mercenary team with a small number of people, leaving overnight had nothing to do with what happened in the Holy See, it was just that they were in a hurry because they accepted the mission, and why Tang Qiu was here... She squinted and walked away Beside her was someone who was as tightly covered with a cloak as she was.

Irene noticed Tang Qiu's gaze, turned her head to look at her, she was shivering from the cold but she still grinned and said, "Relax, Grace, you have already escaped."

Grace is the name engraved on the nameplate that Tang Qiu found on his body.

"Why should I run away?" Tang Qiu sighed, but she was actually asking herself this question.

After she woke up, she was caught in the fire, and finally ran out. When she was still in shock, she happened to meet Irene. Seeing her in such a mess, Irene insisted that this place was dangerous, so she dragged her dazedly into a mercenary. The team ran away overnight.

After Tang Qiu calmed down a bit, he no longer knew what path he was on.

"The Holy See where you live has just experienced a massacre. If the murderer knows that you are lucky to have survived, it would be too dangerous for you to stay there." Irene touched her nose, sneezed, and looked sickly. look.

Tang Qiu glanced at her, and asked tentatively, "We don't know each other, right?" She had no memory of the original owner at all in her mind.

Irene looked at her in surprise, and when Tang Qiu frowned and wondered whether she should use the omnipotent excuse of amnesia to fool her, she said inexplicably, "We don't know each other."

Tang Qiu: "..."

"I just feel sorry for you." After explaining, Irene asked curiously: "Speaking of which, have you seen the murderer?"

Tang Qiu shook his head, lowered his eyes and said softly, "I fell asleep, and when I woke up, the Holy See was already in flames."

The final destination of the mercenary team they joined was to go to the Miserable Forest. After Tang Qiu asked where the Miserable Forest was, he firmly stated that he did not want to continue with them.

She is not familiar with this world, and she doesn't want to go to such a dangerous place at all.

It happened that Irene didn't plan to go to the Evil Rain Forest either. She took Tang Qiu on the mercenary team just to successfully leave the Goss Empire, because the mercenary team didn't need the official letter of entry and exit approved by the Earl's Mansion to go out of the city.

After bidding farewell to the mercenary team, the two continued to walk together. Irene took out the map and pointed it out to Tang Qiu, "After a day's journey, we will reach Edri." She pointed to the map next to Edri's nearest The conspicuous part of the outline, "Bill's Empire, our destination."

We...Tang Qiu temporarily ignored the fact that she had arranged her own destination, and went over to take a look, "Do you live here?"

Irene put away the map, blinked at Tang Qiu, her gray pupils became lively because of her playful movements, "How is it possible, I am a bard, I have no fixed place, I just want to wander in the mainland."

"Oh?"

"I know that you are a priest and have dedicated your life to the Goddess of Light. You cannot understand my great ideal of pursuing freedom."

Tang Qiu: "...you are right."

She touched her arm through her clothes. Tang Qiu had already inquired a lot of news from Irene and the mercenary team during the time she was traveling together. When priests entered the Holy See, their arms would be imprinted with a mark of light. Eliminate and accompany for life, those who abandon the light belief will be backlashed by the imprint.

Although Tang Qiu still doesn't know exactly what this backlash is, but thinking about it, he knows that it must be related to the word pain of death.

"It's so cold." Irene was half a head shorter than Tang Qiu, and her body was not in good shape. She shivered when the temperature was slightly colder, and her lips were blue and purple. She stretched out her hand to grab Tang Qiu's cloak, and said with her hands: " Give me that ball."

Tang Qiu pulled back the cloak, took out the staff, and chanted a simple incantation. A ball of light fell into Irene's hands. This was just an entry-level small spell without much offensive power.

She learned this little spell when she was looking through the entry-level spell books that every priest of the Holy See carried with her. Seeing that this sphere of light would get hot, Irene always pestered her to put one out to warm her hands.

Irene held the sphere of light comfortably, glanced at the magic staff in Tang Qiu's hand from the corner of her eye, and said enviously: "This staff looks very valuable."

Tang Qiu touched the bright gemstone on the staff with a delicate expression. Speaking of which, after accepting the fact that she had traveled through time, she carefully inspected the things she was carrying. Although the original owner was just a small priest, the unexpected There are actually three space gems on the ground.

Bright spell books of various classes, as well as bright gems, holy water, etc., even Tang Qiu, who doesn't know much about the world, knows that these things are not something that a little priest can get, but now they are in her hands. The huge number surprised her who was not very "knowledgeable".

Tang Qiu, who had escaped from death with unknown assets and changed his face, Tang Qiu, who had the words "associate of the murderer" engraved on his body, was very glad that he ran away with Irene in a daze.

Leaving the Goss Empire and staggering the rainy forest, the nearest to them is the town of Hades in Edri. Tang Qiu's space gem has everything in it, except that there is no food and water. The bread and water on Irene's body It was almost consumed by them, so I had to enter the town to supplement it.

Just as there was a faint light of dawn in the sky, there was already an endless line of long dragons lined up at the entrance of Hades Town. Knights in armor and holding long swords were strictly guarding the entrance, searching everyone who entered the city. , Tang Qiu and Irene are also in this ranks.

Edri is a small country, so small that even the Holy See is unwilling to develop believers here. However, the Goss Empire tried to annex it several times, but all failed.

Edri is small but has a strong military.

"What's the matter? Has the God of Darkness descended? Edri is not at peace..." Irene murmured, looking past the people in front of her, she could vaguely see a few corpses covered in white cloth lying on the side of the street.

The calm and harmonious town was plunged into panic because of several unrecognizable corpses.

There are residents of the small town among the people in line, and Irene can hear their voices talking from behind.

"Oh my god, such a cruel and bloody method must have been infiltrated by monsters again."

"It's so cruel, the Baker family is so nice..." The villager who happened to know the deceased couldn't help but cover his mouth, shook his head and sighed, "What should I do to my poor son who just turned five years old."

"The face is scratched, are these monsters going to eat human flesh raw?"

After hearing a few words, Irene couldn't help bumping Tang Qiu's shoulder, and turned her head to talk to her, but seeing that she had been staring intently at the notice board on the side, she leaned over and asked curiously: "Are you looking at the notice board?" What?"

Tang Qiu raised her hand to peel off the parchment pasted on it, and said perfunctorily, "It's nothing." She rolled up the parchment and put it in her sleeve.

The girl with brown hair and gray eyes was a little dissatisfied with her approach, "We are companions, and you still keep something from me?"

"It's really nothing." Tang Qiu paused, turned to look at her, her sky blue eyes were clear and clear, when she looked at you innocently, no one could bear to continue asking, even Irene No exception, she muttered something in a low voice and skipped the topic.

Tang Qiu touched his face thoughtfully. It seems that the good-looking skin still has some uses.

After successfully entering the town, the two first went to the grocery store to buy a lot of food that could be preserved for a long time, and then the second thing was to go to the mercenary union. .

Unfortunately, their luck is not very good, there is currently no free mercenary team.

Irene and Tang Qiu came out of the mercenary union one after the other, and the warm sunshine brought more pedestrians on the empty street, "Let's stay here for a few days, let's take a look later."

Tang Qiu glanced at her and didn't say a word. Leaving Edri doesn't necessarily mean going out of the city with the mercenary team. After all, it only takes some time for the official letter of entry and exit to be approved.

But Irene didn't seem to have any intention of going through official channels.

Irene took out the silver coins to figure out how to save some accommodation expenses, while Tang Qiu tilted her head and listened quietly. It happened that a group of knights came to maintain order. When Irene saw the knights coming, she straightened up and closed her mouth. She pulled The hood covered his face and leaned closer to Tang Qiu.

"Clear the streets, Marshal Lucille is back in town."

As the knight's voice fell, the city gate opened wide, and the cavalry walked silently on the street with uniform steps. There was a cavalry behind the cavalry, led by a tall black horse, and the woman on the horseback was Marshal Lucille in the mouth of the knights.

"This woman is Eddri's pillar."

Seeing that the knight was far away from them, Irene leaned over and whispered to Tang Qiu again, "Without her, Edri would have been annexed by Bill's empire long ago."

Tang Qiu looked up at the horse team curiously, because the distance was too far, she could only see Lucille's long red hair shining in the sun and the dazzling silver armor.

"I heard that she has more power than Charles II." Charles II is the king of the country of Edri.

Tang Qiu turned to look at Irene, and said with a smile, "You know so much."

Irene blinked, "I'm an omniscient bard."

While the two were talking, Lucille had already arrived in front of them on horseback. When they got close, Tang Qiu realized that Lucille was not only wearing armor, but also covered her face with a veil, with only a pair of eyes exposed.

She flicked her horsewhip casually and hugged her back, not losing the prestige of the title of "the most noble woman in Eder".

Irene raised her head and watched Lucille's back gradually go away. While lamenting her pomp, she turned her head and wanted to talk to Tang Qiu. However, when she turned her head, she realized that there was no one around her. Qiu didn't know when it disappeared.

"... Grace?"

Irene yelled twice, her face was a little ugly, she hugged her shoulders and wrapped herself more tightly, turned her head and looked at the door of the mercenary union behind her, there were multiple exits in the hall, and she wanted to find someone here Really not a wise decision.

"Ah, damn it." Irene tightened her cloak again, and this time she covered her hands. Seeing that the knights patrolling the street seemed to sense something, they frequently looked in her direction, hesitated, and turned around. Get into the mercenary union.

Not long after Irene left, a group of knights came to the place where she was standing just now, some stayed where they were, and the other entered the mercenary union to search.

Tang Qiu, who sneaked away while Irene wasn't paying attention, came out from another exit of the mercenary union, hid nearby and witnessed the whole process of Irene's departure.

They got along quite well from the Goss Empire all the way here, because the two of them had the same destination, so they naturally walked together. With Irene, it gave Tang Qiu, who was still at a loss about the world, a chance to relax , I just need to be careful not to show my feet in front of her.

However, after entering Edri, Tang Qiu began to consider whether to part ways with Irene, because she felt that this person was a bit dangerous.

And her performance just now proved that Tang Qiu's intuition was correct.

Ordinary people saw a priest standing outside the Holy See engulfed by fire, and the first thing they did was to take her to escape, and even left the Goss Empire overnight, how suspicious they thought.

After searching the mercenary union inside and out, Irene was not found. A group of patrolling knights spotted Tang Qiu, stopped her, and asked bluntly, "Where's your companion?"

There are only a few outsiders in the whole town wearing cloaks and hoods, which are easy to remember.

"I have no companions." Tang Qiu calmly put down his hood against the suspicious eyes of the knight, and his long golden hair hung down his chest/front, looking holy and noble under the sunlight, "Your Excellency, actually I am a believer in light."

She took out the hidden parchment from her sleeve and handed it to the knight, with an elegant manner and a warm smile, "I hope my faith can help Eddie."

On the parchment are the official documents of Charles II looking for priests, swordsmen and mercenaries.

As soon as Tang Qiu revealed his identity, the knight's expression became much more relaxed, and his doubts about her were reduced by half. Seeing her appearance and temperament, the other half also disappeared without a trace. As we all know, the priests of the Holy See, regardless of gender, They are all very beautiful.

The knight took her to the main city of Edri. On the way, Tang Qiu inadvertently asked about Irene's identity. The knight didn't hesitate much, and said with disgust, "It's the black witch."

Startu Continent believes in light, and darkness is only allowed to live underground, and wizards who practice dark magic are existences that cannot see light.
