Noble Emblem

Payne, a kind and stubborn old man, is quite famous in the Temple of Light. He was also the teacher of the current Saint... the basic enlightenment teacher. Although he only taught for half a year, this experience alone was enough for him to study in the Saint. In the female department, they hold important positions.

So, is Nadette a villain?

Neither! Echo City under the rule of Nadette dare not say that there are no scavengers on the road, but at least the people live and work in peace and contentment. He manages the nobles in the city very rarely, and bullying of men and women rarely occurs. Generally speaking, the people in Echo City live a relatively happy life.

Since both parties are good people, why should they hurt each other?

Nothing more than a different stance. To believers, heretics are ten times more hateful than heretics... A light priest may even forgive a demon, but will never forgive a heretic.

What is a heresy? Everyone believes in the goddess of light, but if you don’t agree with my beliefs, that’s a heresy.

There will always be differences in concepts between people, and there will always be differences in the interpretation of some doctrines. When the differences are so great that they are polar opposites, factional differences will arise.

It is actually very simple to avoid this situation. Just like the Wealth God Cult, there is a universal teaching recognized by the gods.

But the goddess of light has not given a miracle for three hundred years. Now it is said that only the saint can communicate with the goddess of light, but the pope does not believe it.

Contradictions arise from this.

Of course, this is only the superficial reason for the internal strife in the Temple of Light. Beta has no way of knowing what the real reason is.

Late at night came, because Payne was also a kind old man, so he could not die in the city, nor in public, nor could he be killed by the city lord.

Sets of black clothes were handed out, and everyone put them on, covered their faces, and then set off as the originally planned team from the official road behind the city lord's palace.

A long secret passage leads from the underground of the city lord's palace to the outskirts of the city... This secret passage is very narrow and can only be passed by one person. Everyone walked in the dark secret passage for a long time, which seemed to be as long as a century, but this was actually just a psychological illusion caused by the secret passage being too dark and too quiet.

Coming out of the secret passage, there is a sentry stationed in the suburbs. Two expressionless soldiers are guarding the outside. After they all come out, they will seal the secret and hide it. At least from the outside, it cannot be seen that there has been there. There is a secret passage.

The four teams quietly left the sentry post and disappeared into the darkness. The third team where Beta belonged was responsible for the ambush on a high ground and was responsible for the finishing operations.

Although it was a summer night, the nights in the mountains and forests were always a bit cool. The six members of the third team hid in the trees on the hillside and looked at the road below.

Because some of the moonlight is reflected, the road looks much brighter than other places.

Beta concentrated his mental power to the lowest point and squatted behind the bushes, motionless.

After a while, Heidi came closer. Maybe because she wanted to speak in a low voice, she and Beta were very close.

"You seem to know how to hide yourself? Have you done similar things before?"

"Combat is also a part of magic. The instructor taught us how to cooperate with our teammates and also led us to sneak attack on the enemy."

"What kind of enemy?"

Heidi turned around and asked. Although their voices were very low, the area was so quiet, with only the chirping of night insects, so everyone could hear it. Now everyone is gathered around, and they seem to be quite interested in Beta's affairs.

"Orcs, and bear-men." Beta answered without any hesitation or hesitation. In fact, these questions had already been considered by him: "There are also some strange and valuable magical beasts."

"Then you said before that you have no combat experience?"

"I really don't have much experience fighting humans." Beta said helplessly: "Humans are much smarter than orcs. I think the previous fighting methods may not be that useful."

Heidi, who was wearing a turban, smiled slightly and felt that this young man was indeed as Nadette said, hard-working and down-to-earth.

She is different from Nadette. The latter is a noble and a superior person. He considers the overall situation, so he has a lot of goodwill towards Beta, who is also a noble. Heidi is just an ordinary professional. Her intuitive woman told herself, This young man is very extraordinary. There must be another reason for coming to Nadette, so she has always wanted to test Beta.

Heidi gently leaned next to Beta and asked: "When I was a child, I also hoped that I could become a spell caster, but I didn't have that talent. Until now, I am very curious about the world of magic... For example, what is life like in the magic tower? of?"

Beta knew that Heidi was testing him, and he smiled in his heart... Although he had never been to the Magic Tower, there were many mage players who had lived in the Magic Tower for several years, and they had long understood the Magic Tower's system and their usual lifestyle, posted on the forum in the form of a video.

"It was difficult at the beginning." Beta thought for a while and said: "When we first started learning magic, meditation was the most difficult for us. Many people cannot successfully control their mental power and enter a meditative state, and then they Will be punished by the instructor."

"What kind of punishment?" Robben next to him suddenly asked. Although his voice was slightly distorted when he was wearing a mask, it was not so loud that it was inaudible.

"We are a red magic tower and are good at fire-based plastic magic, but this does not mean that we cannot use other spells. In addition to fire magic, my mentor is also very good at lightning magic. We have not finished him at all. If you ask, he will be tied to a hard bed and electrocuted with moderate lightning for half an hour. Although it will not kill anyone, it is normal for him to become incontinent. "

"For this reason, our mentor is privately known as the King of Thunder and Lightning."

The other five people laughed out loud at the same time, but because they were on a mission, they all suppressed their laughter so that everyone could hear it, but it would never spread far.

"Anything else interesting?" Heidi asked.

"Many...the instructor will take us to explore some special ruins every once in a while. We once found a dragon cave that could only be opened with a golden dragon claw. There was a dragon-born undead inside..."

Life in the Magic Tower is actually similar to ordinary college life, but because of magic, it has an extra layer of mysterious aura. Because of this aura, life in the Magic Tower is particularly attractive to the other five people in the team.

The 'story' told by Beta made these people yearn for it.

About twenty minutes later, Beta suddenly shut up and stopped talking. Others did not find it strange, because a red light appeared in the night sky in front of them, and then disappeared after a few seconds, and then there was a rumble.

"There was a fight ahead, and Arnold should have used my big fireball scroll." Beta explained to them.

Heidi was the captain of the third team. She immediately made a gesture. The thief Xion turned into a black shadow, swam down the hillside and ambush in the shadow of the road. The other two team members were pure warriors. They walked He went to the foot of the hillside and hid. Robben was the shield guard. He took out the shield from behind and squatted in front of Beta. The shield warrior's first priority is naturally to protect the spellcasters in his team.

Hai jumped lightly and hooked her left hand on the branch. Her whole body was hooked on the branch like a bat, using the leaves to hide her figure. At the same time, she held the short bow in her hand.

Beta didn't move, but everyone felt that magic elements began to surround him.

The third team is responsible for the finishing work. According to the previous plan, they will ambush here together.

But after more than twenty minutes, there was still no enemy coming, nor any of our own people.

There was some tension and uneasiness in the air.

Beta quietly took a long-distance detection scroll from the mansion's magic space, stuffed it into his sleeves, and then began to pretend to recite the spell. When the spell ended, two transparent water balls, one large and one small, appeared in front of him. in front of.

He pointed forward and the little water ball flew into the night sky.

There is no other spellcaster here except him, because no one can see through his little trick. Everyone thought he used the spell on his own ability.

Heidi jumped down from the branch, put her right hand on her back, and asked slowly: "What kind of magic is this?"

There was an inaudible alertness in her words. Beta pretended not to hear it and said: "I feel something is wrong, so I used a spell to see what happened in front of me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the big water ball floating in front of Beta's eyes took shape... In the darkness, nearly twenty people in white robes surrounded more than a dozen people in black robes. Although the encirclement was a bit large, the people in black robes wanted to break out. But it ended in failure. In addition, there were already three men in black robes lying on the ground nearby. They didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

"They are in danger and we have to help them."

Heidi became anxious and was about to rush down, but Beta held her hand.

"We have obviously fallen into a trap, and the other party deliberately lured us out." Beta said calmly: "If you rush over in a hurry, you will only find yourself in the tiger's mouth."

Heidi threw away his hand and shouted angrily: "They are companions, are we going to die without saving them?"

"Of course we have to save, but we can't rush in blindly." Beta explained: "We have to make a proper plan."

"A proper plan... we don't have that time." Heidi still wanted to rush out.

At this time, the other three team members who had gone down to the foot of the mountain also ran back. The thief Xion stopped Heidi and said, "In this case, I think what Cook said is reasonable. It's not too late to listen to what he has to say."

Robben also helped: "Yes, yes, the spell caster must be smarter than us."

At this time, an old man in the water polo screen suddenly looked over... Then he stretched out his finger, and after a white light, the big water polo disappeared from the screen and turned into a puddle of ordinary water, falling on the grass.

Seeing this scene, Heidi took a deep breath: "You'd better hurry up, they are in danger now."

"Since there is not enough time to make a plan, let's use the simplest tactic. You will listen to me later..."

After Beta finished speaking, he quietly pulled out another group lightness technique from the mansion's magic space, put it in his cuffs, and cast it as if he was chanting a spell.

Feeling that her body seemed half lighter, Heidi took the lead and ran down, followed closely by the other four. Beta deliberately fell at the bottom. After all, he was now playing a warlock with amazing magic power but not very good physical fitness.

On the official road almost one kilometer away from Beta and others, Arnold and others were indeed surrounded, and an old man faced them from a distance.

This old man is Payne. His expression is very gentle. In front of him, there are three men in black robes lying.

These three men in black robes were all killed by him. Before killing each person, he would sing a simple prayer of the Sun God Cult, which was a prayer to bless the souls of the dead to find the kingdom of heaven.

Seeing that the men in black failed to break through several times, Payne smiled slightly, and then he discovered the small water ball in the air. With a slight finger, the white light shone, and the small water ball turned into a burst of steam.

"There is another spellcaster?" Payne looked at the black-robed magician who was obviously protected among the black-robed men, and looked quite surprised: "Where did Nadette find so many talents?"

He did not intervene in the battle. For him, as long as he used himself to lure these people out, then he would win half the battle. Nadette plotted against Payne, but in fact Payne also plotted against Nadette.

Just like Nadette felt that Archbishop Payne should not die in the city, Payne also felt that Nadette should not die in the city. After all, Nadet was a good lord. If the people in the territory saw his body, it would be unreasonable. Know what's going to happen.

Payne also arranged for his own internal agents in the City Lord's Mansion. Although he could find out not much information, he at least knew that Nadette wanted to kill him, so he used his own life as bait to finally lure the City Lord Nadette. Invited from Echo City.

He smiled and watched as three more men in black robes fell down in the encirclement... Now there were only nine men in black robes standing in the encirclement, and all of them were injured. On their side, the white-robed priests had only a few minor injuries, and it would not affect their battle.

Looking at the embarrassed men in black robes, Payne said loudly: "Nadette, you don't want to examine the flaws. As long as you go to the statue of the goddess, admit that your papal sect has deviated from the doctrine, and ask for her forgiveness, then we will really forgive you."

No one in the black robe spoke. They were just taking a short rest and trying their best to regain some strength.

More than 20 priests combined their spiritual power to form a magic circle that effectively blocked the attack of the men in black robes. Although the magic circle used was the lowest level, it was not something Nadette and others could break through. After all, the combat effectiveness of both parties was somewhat limited. Great disparity.

"You guys are too stubborn...eh?"

Payne suddenly turned around and saw more than thirty golden light balls smashing down in the night sky behind him.

Arcane missiles? This thing is not very powerful, so what does it matter no matter how many there are? Payne was a little amused. He raised his hand, and a huge light curtain appeared above their heads. This was a bright magic shield that could resist most magic attacks.

In Payne's judgment, it is very simple for the light magic shield to block the more than thirty arcane missiles that seem to have little power.
