She Is Not a Witch

The sacred mountain of Karen Riel.

　　 As the highest altitude area in the Western Continent, except for the Sighing Mountains, it is surrounded by mountains. Snow-covered peaks overlook the earth, like long swords erected on the ground.

　　 On the steep cliffs, iron ropes and stairs hovered along the rocks, and pilgrims from all over the world climbed up the stairs, only to pay tribute to the angel statues remaining on the top of the mountain, the miracles that remained after the chaos disaster.

　　 Among these people with different clothes, a man in a gray-haired trench coat is also among them, unremarkable.

　　 The peaks surrounding the holy mountain are the headquarters of the church’s major institutions.

　　 Among them are the Lam Ye Palace which specializes in teaching young children, the Aquarius Palace which specializes in treatment, the Shanxiang Palace which is good at building, the Requiem Palace, the Ten Sword Palace which is responsible for the maintenance of public order and so on.

　　 Now one of the three major knights, Otis, the leader of the Knights of the Holy Spear, is also in a steep fortress in the mountain.

　　 He is wearing a thick silver armor with a golden pattern and is nearly two meters tall. Behind him is a big red cloak. The fleece cloak makes the overall figure and armor a lot thicker, making him as firm and steady as a mountain.

　　He was standing on an observation deck, overlooking the many knights training and shouting in the valley below, and there was no expression on his slashed face.

There was a knock on the door in the room behind 　　.

　　 "Go in."

　　 The door opened, and a knight in silver armor walked in with a paperwork. The knight had blond hair and a handsome face. He should be about 30 years old.

　　 "Master Otis, there are some things I want to report recently."

　　 "Let's talk." He turned his body around, followed the sound of armor collision, and sat down behind the desk.

　　 "At present, among the members of the Knights in the local chapters, some members need to take time off and go home for a period of time, about a month."

　　 "This kind of thing has always happened, and it's normal." Odis commented briefly, but he knew that this smart young man must say more than that.

　　 "Yes, but this year's ratio is much higher than last year. If last year was two thousandths, then this year it was four thousandths."

　　 "But now there is no war, and there are no special circumstances. This is not normal."

　　 "Then most of these people were sent to the local parish headquarters in the form of letters. Although they are usually busy, I deliberately found some of them and compared them with previous letters and found that the handwriting was not the same person."

　　 "In other words, these people's letters were written by someone else, and maybe something has happened to them?"

"Yes, according to the normal process, the knights in each town and small city will report to the local diocese headquarters every other month. During this time, some recent orders and instructions will be communicated. At the same time, strengthen contacts to ensure the loyalty of the members of the Knights. "

　　 "But if you ask for leave like this, you can go there for up to three times, that is, less than three months for the parish headquarters to report, then the whereabouts of these people becomes a mystery."

　　 "Interesting." The leader tapped his finger on the table a few times, and after thinking for a few seconds, he continued to ask.

　　 "Have you ever asked about other palaces and knights?"

　　 "I didn't ask directly, but took advantage of official business to inquire. The situation in other palaces is similar to that in previous years, while the situation in the Knights is somewhat similar."

　　 "In addition to our Holy Spear Knights, the Church of the Church, the Knights of the Song of the Dead and the Knights of the Blue Nautilus have also experienced similar situations, but they are not as fluctuating as ours."

　　 "It is estimated that you are so careful and found this subtle difference in data." Odis said with emotion.

　　 "That is also for our Knight Order, and to do this, it is often the insiders of the church, otherwise there should be similar situations in other twelve houses."

　　 "Yes, look..." the young knight asked in a low voice.

　　 Odis did not answer immediately, slowly analyzing the current situation.

　　 Now in the church, the candidates for the next pope are being discussed. Since the death of the previous pope, the archbishops of various dioceses have rushed back, and the general election will be held in a few days.

　　 If you want to be the Pope, you must be one of the regional archbishops, or the leader of the Zodiac and the Three Knights.

At present, there are about 70 people who meet this requirement. Except for some who are less experienced and obviously insufficient in their own strength, there are 15 suitable candidates. Among these 15 people, there is really hope to reach that threshold, which makes everyone more convinced. There are only 4 people.

　　 One of them is himself. As the head of the Knights of the Holy Spear, one of the red-robed archbishops, he has not only been a part-time post but also a pastor before, leading the party, and his resume and strength are extremely stable. It is also the pinnacle of Angel Sequence 8, and it is only a step away from Sequence 9.

　　 In addition, the scepter priest of the Palace of Ten Swords, Archbishop Sibes is also popular. He served in Lam Yeh Palace for 10 years and served as the Archbishop of the Diocese of Dominia. Now the Archbishop of the Diocese is also his student. In addition, the leaders of the Dormition Palace and the Holy Flame Palace also make friends with them, and are their firm ally.

　　 Then there is the scepter priest of Aquarius, Beines. She has served in Emenas and also served as the archbishop of one of the diocese. The Knights of the Blue Nautilus, the Elephant Palace, and the Palace of Anthem all have good contacts with them. In addition, she has served as a teacher in Emenes. Students, in the church, there are also many high-level supporters.

　　 Finally, the scepter priest of the Star Trail Palace ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Charente. This very senior existence, although over 150 years old, still looks like about 30 years old. It is said that he was blessed by angels when he was young. Although he rarely talks about foreign affairs, his own strength is very strong, coupled with the support of some elderly people, if he becomes the pope, not many people will object.

Among the four, he and Sibes are both at the pinnacle of Sequence 8. Bines just entered Sequence 9 5 years ago, and Charente is said to have existed in Sequence 9 a hundred years ago and had participated in Xuehua. The Seven Kingdoms and the Green Empire's "Broken Bow War".

　　Although his ally is only the Scepter Priest of the Silver Blood Palace, the Knights of the Holy Spear, as the church's most numerous combat legion, has more soldiers than the other two knights combined, and its momentum is higher.

　　 Odis was silent for a while, and for a long time he spoke, "To transfer the Cavaliers from the headquarters, 300 people per squad, go to various places to change defenses. Externally, it is necessary to conduct training and rectify the gradually obsolete military discipline.

　　 After these teams arrived in the local area, they rushed to the problematic towns and cities directly according to the list to investigate and find the missing members by force.

　　 "The momentum is so big, it's hard to hide it from others."

　　 "What if they can't hide it? Since they are secretive, there must be some conspiracy and tricks. We directly disrupt the rhythm and turn their dark schemes into battles on the surface."

　　 "While fighting the enemy directly, our Paladin Knights have not been afraid of anyone."

　　 "I see, sir." The blond knight bowed his head, and then walked out of the room with the signed document, calling out a messenger knight on duty along the way, and they would quickly send orders to all directions.
