"The process of reaching your conclusion is difficult to fool with quick reactions." The Paladin Captain stared at him, "The agent will not tell you these things."
If Miss Agatha were here, she might talk about her reasoning eloquently for two hours. Uriel omitted her roundabout introductory words and rhetorical questions that added suspense, and came up with a reason that the other party could never falsify: "I am from Croita, Your Excellency, and I was also the 'Silver Cross Star' Osvid Sir's apprentice. He taught me the mysteries of astrology." It was then that he suddenly realized that Lemmons' accusations were not unjust.
"It was Kader. He took the opportunity to assassinate Lady Magdalena after the demon attack." Lemons' tone still sounded suspicious. "Lady Magdalena is a member of the Parliament. She foresaw the disaster of the undead two hundred years ago. Regarding the White Prophecy... did your mentor tell you?"
Your Majesty is your representative. Uriel met the spokesperson of the goddess Lucia for the first time yesterday, and he mentioned the White Prophecy. He hung on his every word. "That's almost it. But he didn't teach me how to deal with demons." Forget about fighting a lunatic like Lord Mercury, Uriel didn't want to follow the Holy Knights from house to house to search for ordinary people who were living in hiding. Isn’t the lesson of Winnie Watts enough? Frequent contact with detected magic can easily lead to burns.
"You don't need to worry about the internal problems of the Holy City, heretic." Lemons said coldly, "I came to you for other reasons. Lady Magdalena is a Harp witch. She was killed before she was assassinated. I anticipated my own death, but I failed to prevent the murder from happening. Maybe this was also within her expectation... In short, she left me her last words, which mentioned you."
"I?"
"The messenger comes from the Tower of Sky, above the clouds beyond the reach of mortals. It's not you, could it be that drow?" Dalton looked up in confusion upon hearing this.
"Well, that's me. She knew I was coming to Zangwill." Because of the Prophet's orders. "What else did this Lady Magdalena mention?"
"No more. She said you brought us the message."
Uriel glanced at him in surprise, not because the prophecy was unclear, but because he discovered that Lemons had lied. "Then I can also tell you, Your Excellency, that I was in Eastman when I received the order from the Prophet. He ordered me to come to the Holy City immediately without any letter."
"Funny," muttered York, "he sent you as a letter."
Lemmons looked at the apprentice: "Your Majesty the Advocate will not be mistaken, and Lady Magdalena's prophecy has indeed come true. The problem can only be with you."
"It was you who made the mistake, Lord Paladin." Uriel pointed out, "His Majesty's purpose is different from yours. He wants me to solve the problem. At present, it is the legacy left by Lord Magdalena. , about the difficult problem of predicting the future.”
"Are you an astrologer or a clergyman? What is the mystery that Magdalena did not solve during her lifetime?"
"I know nothing, Your Excellency. I can only guess."
"I think your guess is quite accurate." Lemons said, "You can even guess the demon assassin appearing in the Holy City and who will be killed. The prophecy is related to the survival of the order. Uriel, you'd better not be emotional. Demons are hard to guard against. , I have reason to believe that Lady Magdalena’s prophecy is related to them.”
Finally getting to the point? The survival of the order was a shockingly big proposition, and Uriel felt that the paladin captain was probably hinting that their lives might be in danger. No matter what agreement the Lord Prophet and the agent reached, they are currently at the headquarters of the Holy Council of Radiance. "For the sake of safety, we cannot leave the room too far. Of course, our safety cannot be compared with the safety of order." He was quite amused by saying this seriously, "But even if I use astrology to predict, I will get The information may not be accurate. After all, sir, I am unprepared for the future I foresee."
Lemons frowned: "Where do you want to go? The detection station?"
I'd rather go to the shuttle station. "No, it's not safe to leave the temple. Is there a library here? I have to find out what you are worried about and the reason why Lady Magdalena was assassinated by the demon." The Holy Knight Captain didn't even know the answers to these questions. , I’m afraid there is no possibility for others to know the truth. Of course, the witch herself knew the reason absolutely. The key was that she was the one who died.
If it were someone else standing here, Uriel's conditions would never be accepted, but the Holy Knight Captain had the power to relax some of the restrictions on the guests. "Some books in the temple are indeed open to the public." Lemons said slowly, "I hope you can find the information you need. If you are talking nonsense, Uriel." His palms were placed on his waist in the shadows. hilt. "As long as the Holy Knights still exist, your life safety will still be guaranteed. But I am personally happy to compete with you again."
The mystery weighed heavily on his spine, and Uriel could barely lift his head. He realized that the gap between himself and Kongjing was far greater than he imagined. Without Joey, Kamaria's miracle would never happen again. Behind him, Sita York subconsciously pulled out a blade, but was pushed back by Dalton.
"No ifs, Your Excellency."
The paladin snorted and pulled down his visor. "It's best not." He turned around and led the way resolutely. The silver blade of the holy sword Durandal turned into the sunlight and shone in the dawn.
…
The team had already assembled, and Lemons was almost late. Alexia was waiting for him in front of the staircase, with Finger standing and a knight standing behind her. When the man heard the sound and turned around, Lemons remembered that he had previously ordered Jose to take Cadel's place. Arabella Reese has another mission. No matter how she tries to get rid of it, she is still the disciple of the Actor.
"You're late, sir," Yali said mischievously.
"Actually, there are still three minutes left before the scheduled time." Jose defended Lemons. He had been studying the parchment in his hand carefully. The will of the goddess Lucia had to be written on ancient baptized scrolls to avoid damage and contamination. Judging from the coat of arms on the edge, this is probably another instruction notice from the Holy Inquisition to eliminate monsters.
"Something unexpected, sir?" His lover raised an eyebrow. She looked so energetic that she overshadowed the entire Order of Holy Knights. The absence of Priest Arabella originally meant a loss of some power, but she thought that the Holy Knights had returned to their original appearance.
Lemons couldn't bring himself to bring her back to reality. They both knew that time would never come back. "No, it's just a delay. Let's go." He drove his mount and stepped into the shuttle station. Jose and Finger followed immediately.
Alexia stayed where she was for a moment and followed the team.
The border of Sodria is a sea of sand, and countless monsters are hidden under the rolling hills. These things are anomalous creatures derived from mysteries. They possess fire but no intelligence, and druids have difficulty communicating with them. The mysterious realm includes the vast majority of life related to mystery, but even the Oath Keepers Alliance, a mysterious fulcrum composed of alien races, refuses to recognize one of the monsters. They are indeed mystical creatures of order, which is the only reason the Radiant Council still tolerates their life in the desert.
If there were demons among the monsters, Lemmons thought, the desert would have been cleansed long ago. Their reproductive ability is meaningless in the face of the gap in mystery. Even the army of the evil dragon Wintherspoon was defeated in front of the Alliance of Order. Monsters are compared to the invaders of the abyss, like dead branches to iron tools. Of course Lemmons hopes to implement the goddess's justice, but he would rather deal with the former.
"Lemons." Yali walked beside him at some point. They were walking along the main road in front of the city. The sun was high and there was no one else on the road except the Paladin. Priest Finger was rolling up the parchment, having untied it when he passed the checkpoint earlier. Jose took a young knight to guard the surrounding area, but he pretended not to see Alexia's movements. "You didn't come to see me last night."
"I'm sorry, Aly, Magdalena is dead, and there's Cadel's matter... I'm too busy."
"I went to see Kader, but Bishop Cocian forbade anyone to communicate with him." She said worriedly, "Will he leave the Holy Knights?"
"No," Lemmons said. "Bishop Cocian will rid him of the demonic influence. Kader just needs to rest for a while. Everyone does, and they will return to normal soon. Trust your mentor, Aly. .”
"Of course. So Lady Magdalena's prophecy is the main problem?" Alexia held up her hat that was blown askew by the wind. Unlike Arabella, she did not pay attention to her manners to the extent of applying magic on her clothes. . "We can't help with that kind of stuff."
"She left me her last words."
"We did it." The agent personally lit the fire and burned the witch's body to ashes.
"The problem is not resolved. She believes that the message brought by the tower messenger will determine the fate of the order, but the apprentice knows nothing."
Her face suddenly turned cold. "Did you go find them this morning?"
"They can help with things like prophecies."
"The Glorious Council does not need a heretic to influence the will of the agent, Lemons. Besides, he is the apprentice of the White Envoy and there is no way he can understand astrology."
"Uriel is also an apprentice of the Silver Cross. Ari, you can't be hostile to him because of the White Envoy... Well, at least you can't let this hostility interfere with your judgment. He was born after the Battle of the Saint, It’s been less than a year since I became the White Envoy’s apprentice.”
