Noble Emblem

Watching Sophie leave, watching her graceful body disappear into the darkness of the secret passage, Ignaz clicked his tongue and said with half pity and half relief: "What a good girl."

The adjutant said from the side: "Prince, how about we intercept her? Anyway, Archbishop Arnold hopes that she can live, and I think this girl is quite suitable to become a princess. After all, she has a very weird relationship in the Temple of Hades. Wang, as far as I know, many people in the upper echelons of Hades Temple are interested in her."

Ignaz thought about it for a moment, then shook his head. There was a hint of coldness in his gentle smile: "No, although she is indeed a good candidate for the princess, she is hostile to me. Maybe she feels that the death of the protagonist Arnold , it was me who caused it. That’s why I think such a woman is in a lot of trouble. She doesn’t even have the most basic logical judgment. Arnold stayed behind. That was a choice of interests and had nothing to do with me. I just gave a trading option. , Accept it or not, that's Arnold's business... But that's fine, her death is a good thing for me, after all, the fewer people who are hostile, the better."

The adjutant stepped aside and stopped talking. He completely understood what the second prince said, and he thought so too. It was just that he thought the second prince was interested in the girl, so he said what he said before.

In fact, Sophie thought so too. She knew very well that the crisis in the Temple of Hades could not be entirely blamed on the second prince. This was the choice of the Temple of Hades itself. Compared to spreading the glory of the goddess, the lives of believers are completely insignificant. They can also use this opportunity to be loyal to the goddess and continue to serve the goddess after reaching the underworld.

However, despite all the confusion, Sophie still harbored a grudge against the second prince. If he hadn't come to the Temple of Hades, how could something like this have happened? If he hadn't insisted on fighting for the throne, how could something like this have happened? If he hadn't offered a condition that even his father couldn't refuse, how could something like this have happened? Such a thing!

It's all their fault. No matter the eldest prince or the second prince, they are all damn bastards!

Resentment and anger grew in Sophie's heart like weeds. Her face was slightly distorted, and she ran in the secret passage full of skulls. Her eyes kept looking forward. At this time, she only had one thought in her mind: go back and help. Father, even if you die. He also had to die with his relatives.

But she didn't realize that where she ran, every skull on both sides of the secret passage was filled with traces of black energy. The black energy was twisting one by one, like hair dancing in the air, and they followed each other. Behind Sophie, people gradually gathered as she ran. Finally, it sank silently into her body.

Gradually, Sophie's black Hades cannon became darker and darker. It's getting darker and darker, as if it's like a darkness absorbing the surrounding light.

By the time she came out of the secret passage and stepped into the temple, her clothes had become very weird. Totally black. It was a kind of black that made one's spirit get lost in it at a glance. However, in this black that was so dark that one could lose one's mind, there was a little bit of white light flowing slowly and weakly. Flashing slowly.

If the black on the robe represents despair, then the light spots in it carry a kind of peaceful will that makes people wake up from such a dark color after staring at it.

But she still didn't notice the changes in herself, because she was already petrified by the sight in front of her... There was a fire burning in the temple, and the hot air burned her delicate skin, and soon there were big drops of blood. Sweat poured out of her body.

She covered herself with a heat-resistant shield and ran directly to where the noise of the killing was loudest.

But after running a few steps, when she turned a corner, she saw a person, a person she hated very much.

Dragon.

He sat on the ground, leaning against the wall, covering his heart, breathing heavily. His clothes were still stained with a lot of blood, both his own and those of his enemies.

In front of him, three soldiers lay dead.

When Dragon saw Sophie, his gray-white face suddenly showed a bright color, as if reflected by the light. He straightened his body and shouted with his last breath: "The source of disaster, you are the source of disaster." Yuan, the reason our temple is what it is today is all because of the bad luck you brought! It’s you!”

The last one was 'It's you'. With endless sorrow and unwillingness, Dragon used all his strength, stretched out his intact left hand, staggered, and weakly pinched Sophie's neck. His vitality was rapidly decreasing. Chuan, in the end, he just kept stretching out his left hand to pinch people, refusing to rest in silence.

The cold language, the resentful expression, the ambiguity of hatred and malice rushed out from Dragon's short sentence.

Sophie looked at Dragon, who had not closed his eyes until his death, and who exuded cold hostility and malice toward her until his death. Her heart was ice-cold, and her whole body was in an ice cellar, not in a fire.

"Why?"

Sophie looked at Dragon's body with a confused look on her face. She didn't understand why Dragon was so hostile to her. Obviously, she had a good relationship with him three years ago, but what happened in the past two years caused Dragon's attitude to change 180 degrees.

The roar of battle and loud shouts came from the distance. Sophie quickly regained her composure and rushed over. Then she saw two sisters in the temple being besieged by several soldiers.

The soldiers smiled obscenely and surrounded the two sisters, attacking without killing them. Their swords and weapons struck at their clothes. It didn't take long for the two of them to hide their beauty.

What women are most afraid of...Perverts, the most cruel thing is perverts.

When Sophie saw this, her face was as cold as frost, and she chanted a spell directly. The starlight in the black robe lit up at the same time, and then a huge black ball appeared in front of her.

Such a huge and solid dark magic power was really surprising, even Sophie herself was shocked.

But it wasn't over yet. The black ball fell to the ground and in the blink of an eye it transformed into a skeleton warrior made of dark magic and holding a huge black long-handled battle axe.

As soon as the skeleton was completed, it turned around and knelt down to Sophie. The air buzzed and vibrated. Although it didn't speak, Sophie still understood what it meant.

"My Lord...what are your orders?"

Although she didn't know why she turned into a huge skeleton when she cast an ordinary dark element impact, Sophie was just surprised for a moment and then gave the order to the skeleton: "Kill those three men."

"As commanded."

The skeleton stood up, turned around, and then appeared directly in front of the three soldiers. Then with a sweep of the giant ax, the three heads flew into the sky, and then fell to the ground with a thud.

At the same time, the three headless corpses, with fountain-like blood pouring out from their broken throats, fell softly to the ground one after another.

When the two female Hades followers saw this scene, they screamed at the same time.

Sophie was on the side with her eyes widened. She really didn't expect that the dark magic skeleton warrior she summoned was so powerful. The moment just now was definitely teleportation. It was the first time she heard that dark elemental beings could actually teleport.

But now is not the time to be surprised. Sophie buried her emotions deeply in her heart. Then she trotted to the side of the two female believers and shouted: "Get out of here quickly and walk through the secret passage. Hurry."

When the two female believers heard this, they immediately got up and ran to the apse. Then one of them turned around and shouted: "Sophie, Archbishop, your father is still in front of the temple. He is surrounded. If you want to save him, go there now." .”

When Sophie heard this, she suddenly felt anxious. She ran towards the front hall with all her strength, and the skeleton warrior followed closely behind, carrying a huge dark element axe.

Halfway through, Sophie also saw a sister being pushed to the ground by two soldiers. Her clothes were torn and thrown aside. One of the soldiers, with his lower body naked, kept making piston movements on her body. .

Sophie's heart grew colder and she hated the eldest prince and the second prince even more deeply.

The two soldiers were quickly killed by the skeleton warrior. Sophie did not stop this time and continued to rush forward. Along the way, she killed several sisters, but more brothers fell in the passage of the temple. Of course, , many heavily armored soldiers died around them.

When she rushed to the front hall, she found her father surrounded in front of the stone steps, with a looming black magic shield covering his body. Not only was he surrounded by soldiers, but there were also four magicians beside him, who were casting light magic on him.

Every time light magic hits his shield, Arnold's body will shake, and the dark magic shield will become lighter again.

The most important thing is that Arnold's eyes were bleeding, his nose was bleeding, and there was blood foam coming out of his mouth.

Light magic and dark magic restrain each other, whoever is stronger will be more powerful. As a bishop, Arnold was naturally very strong. In a one-on-one fight, none of the four magicians was his opponent. However, when he was one against four, he was at a disadvantage.

It's a miracle that he can survive until now.

Whenever a miracle happens, there is always a very simple reason or cause.

Arnold was already in a daze, as if the next moment, he would turn into an idiot or faint directly due to the backlash of magic.

But he still managed to hold on, and he lasted for several minutes. He only had a small wish, to help his daughter Sophie delay for more time, so that she could go as far as possible.

But suddenly, he seemed to hear his daughter's voice calling him. He used all his strength to twist his upper body a little, turned around, and then saw his daughter standing on the stone steps in front of the temple door.

"Why are you back!"

Arnold shouted to his daughter in confusion. He thought his voice was loud, but in fact he just moved his lips. At this time, he no longer had the strength to speak.

He was already at the end of his strength, but as soon as he spoke... the magic shield immediately disappeared.

Five white magic light balls took the opportunity to sink into his body, and then exploded violently. Archbishop Arnold suddenly turned into broken bones and flesh, flying everywhere.

Sophie stood on the stone steps, stunned, her eyes were blank and unfocused, like a blind person. (To be continued.)
