Old man Marcus was right, Milady was indeed fine.
When the heat wave was about to swallow her up, she was rescued.
The person who rescued her was Nok who hurriedly arrived after leaving the Demon Suppression Pass.
Nok held the unconscious Milady, suspended in the air above the heat wave, looking down at the city below that was protected by an energy shield.
It seems that in ten years, the city of Lance has changed.
There are actually people who can take action against his people in Lance City!
Nok cast a healing spell to heal Milady's injuries.
At the same time, I am waiting.
What are you waiting for?
Wait for the person below the heat wave to take action.
Nok believed that the other party had captured his and Milady's aura.
The fluctuations in the magic that Nok used to treat Milady were not concealed at all.
He wanted to see who dared to run wild on his territory after not returning for ten years!
Nok's guess was correct.
Marcus, who was under the heat wave, quickly noticed Nok and Milady above the heat wave.
"It turns out someone intervened."
Marcus suddenly said as he noticed Milady's aura and another unfamiliar aura.
But he didn't take action immediately.
Even if they want to fight, they have to wait until Lance City survives the heat wave.
To avoid being careless and being taken advantage of.
Old man Marcus felt heartbroken at the thought of destroying a quarter of Reims Cathedral.
These are all the property of the church!
Although it is still in Nok Lane's name now, in another twenty or thirty years, it will not be easy for the church to obtain the property rights of Reims Cathedral from a dead person.
As for the current "owners" of Reims Cathedral, they are already under his indulgence and there is nothing to fear.
Otherwise, where he is in charge, can these juniors be allowed to form cliques in private and engage in small actions for their own benefit?
It was only a matter of time before people like Leo started to fight among themselves, and how could they hide this from him who had been the pope for nearly a hundred years.
In terms of conspiracies and intrigues, the Holy Court side is much more exciting.
If he hadn't been dealing with some issues at the original lord's mansion tonight and hadn't rushed back immediately, how could Milady have destroyed so many places.
He had already pinned Milady to death on the martial arts field.
After all, for him, Leo and Diana's ambitions were within his acceptable range.
He has arranged for people to contact both sides and is ready to take it for his own use.
A paladin who hides his strength and can also train soldiers can be considered a talent to some extent.
As for Diana, although she doesn't have any outstanding talents, she can serve as a transitional person for the church to take over Reims Cathedral.
It happened to be destroyed by a Milady.
Unexpectedly, she who was supposed to be in Wangyue Town overseas would actually show up in the church and make a scene.
Marcus was completely caught off guard.
The most important thing is that Marcus was busy dealing with another person. He didn't expect that neither of the Leos and his wife, coupled with Diana, could deal with the lonely Milady, which made him extremely disappointed.
If it weren't for the fact that Leo was a saint and could train soldiers, he would have slapped Leo Gareth to death when he saw the mess on the ground just now!
We can't vent our anger on Leo Gareth, because Diana was killed by Milady again.
Marcus could only vent his anger on Milady.
But now, the person he wanted to kill was actually saved.
It's a lie that he's not angry.
Although retired, he is also a retired pope.
How dare someone deny him face?
If it weren't for the church's reputation among the people, he would have left the people of Lance City alone, breaking through the heat wave to see who was behind it who was not afraid of death and dared to interfere with his affairs.
Although Marcus did not take action immediately, he still let go of his momentum, rushed into the heat wave, and went straight towards the two Nok.
The powerful aura came out, and a trace of surprise flashed across Nok's face. He stretched out his right hand and punched the incoming aura.
Boom!
With a simple punch, Nok shattered the opponent's attack.
"Interesting, I really met a peak saint. It seems that Milady's revenge is not easy to avenge!"
Nok said it was hard to take revenge, but his face looked calm.
He touched the rope still hanging around his neck with his right hand, feeling not at all panicked.
If you didn’t use it ten years ago, then ten years from now, use it to kill a peak saint and announce to the world the return of Nook Lane!
"嘤~"
Nok was distracted, but Keren'er in his arms had already woken up.
Milady slowly opened his eyes and saw a face that was longing for him.
"It's over, can I still dream about Nok even if I go to hell?"
Nok looked at the still confused Milady speechlessly, and sighed: "Oh, although I don't mind continuing to hold you. But you are a big girl now, and if you are seen, the impact will not be good.
Moreover, our enemies are about to attack. Come down quickly and prepare to fight. "
"Yeah! No... Nok? I'm not dead? Ouch!"
After hearing what Nok said, Milady was so embarrassed that she got off Nok, but forgot that she was in the air and almost fell down.
Fortunately, Nok grabbed her in time.
"Be careful. This is heaven."
Knock felt troubled by Milady's recklessness. After all, she was already an eighteen-year-old girl and could get married.
Yes, he has been missing for ten years.
After the immediate troubles are solved and she stabilizes, she will help her find a good man to marry.
But we can't really let this girl spend her whole life in the church.
Nuns cannot get married.
Not even looking for a lover.
This is much more harsh than male clerics.
If a nun is found to be unclean, the church will basically put her to death.
Only a few with background could save their lives and be expelled from the church.
But absolutely no unclean nun can remain in the Church unless no one knows about her uncleanness.
"Nok, Nok!"
The distracted Nok heard Milady's anxious call in his ears.
"Uh, I'm here. What's wrong?"
Nok came back to his senses, looked at Milady and asked.
Milady pointed his finger downwards as if facing an enemy: "The enemy is coming."
Nok looked in the direction of Milady's finger and suddenly frowned.
"Why is he here? Why did you confront him? This is troublesome!"
Nok recognized Marcus immediately.
Although ten years have passed, the appearance of the powerful Marcus has not changed much.
For a saint, there is no obvious difference between one hundred and fifty years old and one hundred and sixty years old.
It's not surprising that Nok recognized Marcus.
In contrast, Marcus did not recognize the scruffy, bearded Nok.
He waited for the heat wave to be completely consumed by the "Heavenly Guard" before flying up.
Before Milady noticed him, he had already seen Leo and Milady.
Marcus didn't pay much attention to Milady.
This girl's talent is strong, but if she doesn't reach the Saint level, she won't be a threat to him.
Therefore, Marcus focused all his attention on Nok.
"An unfamiliar Saint. His aura is very strong and long, and his strength is not bad. It is difficult to deal with him!"
Although Marcus felt that this sloppy man was no match for him, it was not easy for him to defeat him.
After all, he is no longer the Pope of Light who could defeat more than a dozen people at the same level during his peak period.
Without the Pope Suit, his strength dropped by more than half.
At most, Marcus is only a little stronger than the average holy-level peak person, or maybe two or three points stronger? No more, anyway.
Marcus knew this well.
Marcus is too old to take down a witch disguised as a lord.
Precisely because he has grown old, he is no longer as impulsive and domineering as he was ten years ago.
"Young man, although I don't know who you are, the little girl next to you is a traitor to my holy church. Please hand her over. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Marcus came near Nok and the two, released his aura of peak holy level, and asked Nok directly for someone.
Using force and threats, and then pointing out that this is an internal matter within the church, this is to gain the upper hand and scare Nok away.
Nok shook his head and did not explain his identity.
"Old man, you say she is a traitor to the Holy Church? What evidence do you have?"
Marcus was stunned for a moment. He thought that the saint in front of him would attack him without saying a word, and he also thought that the other party would be scared away by his own strength.
But he never thought that the other party would reason with him and ask for evidence.
Could it be that the other person was not someone Milady knew? But the holy steps passing by? Just saw Milady in danger and came to rescue him?
wrong! If that was the case, the other party would have said goodbye and left long ago after hearing that this was an internal matter of the church.
Where will leave asking yourself for evidence.
Thinking of this, Marcus became a little more alert.
"Young man, what do you mean? Do you want to meddle in the affairs of our church?"
Marcus looked unkind and said in a somewhat aggressive tone: "I advise you to mind your own business. This girl suddenly became a demon and went on a killing spree in Lance City, wanting to sacrifice the entire city's people.
If I hadn't arrived in time, Lance City would have been a river of blood by now. Are you sure you want to stand up for her? "
Marcus tested Nok with words, but secretly he was already brewing a spell.
He had already determined that the other party was Milady's helper.
"You fart! When did I become a demon? I was just executing traitors! When did I attack the people of Lance City!"
Milady was unhappy and jumped out to defend herself.
She had already woken up from her violent state, and she would not admit that she really wanted to kill the people in Reims City after killing all the people in Reims Cathedral.
After listening to what the two of them said, Leo had some speculation in his mind.
Milady must have killed someone, and he didn't get away with it, but it was definitely not as exaggerated as Marcus, the old guy, said.
As for the crime mentioned by Marcus, it is too watery.
Is it too much for him, a disciple of Nok, to kill a few of his men? Not too much at all.
Even if he had to be convicted, it was he, Nook Lane, who had the final say.
When was it the Holy Court's turn to intervene?
So, Nok smiled and said: "Okay, old man Marcus, you don't have to scare me anymore. Give me some face, let's forget about Milady's matter, and I will give you a satisfactory explanation."
After hearing what Nok said, Marcus was so angry that his beard stood up.
"Hahaha, give you a face? Who do you think you are? I'll give you a face, so who will give me Marcus a face? Young man, don't be so shameless!"
