But why was it exposed
Everything has been fine for so many years!
And was my prediction wrong
I have clearly presented the gift that represents the future to the noble people, right? Shouldn't I be seeing an incomparable reward
Before he was completely frightened to death, the captain had similar doubts in his mind as the leader of the slave-hunting team.
They had clearly fulfilled the prophecy, so why weren't they waiting for abundance and rewards
But in fact, if they think about it carefully, they will understand this problem. How can such a person, the leader of a slave-hunting team and the captain of a smuggling ship who robs other thieves, have a happy ending
The prophecy was not wrong.
For example, the team leader, as an out-and-out villain, all he deserves is death.
As for the captain, there is no better "reward" than to atone for his sins to the gods and kings. After all, he is destined to be remembered for eternity because of this!
So this is just their wishful thinking that the outcome of the prophecy will be in their favor.
The Archduke of Nuremberg probably guessed something, and then he looked at the captain who had fainted in surprise.
Not only did this guy kidnap the Wolf family members on their land, he also blasphemed so many gods
This, is he really just a mid-sequence
Shouldn't something of this magnitude be a 'great undertaking' that even a demigod wouldn't be qualified to undertake
The Grand Duke of Nuremberg asked with a hint of curiosity:
"Isn't this guy blaspheming the gods?"
The old bishop's face suddenly changed slightly and he whispered:
"Not only that, he also blasphemed the kings!"
The Grand Duke of Nuremberg looked at the many bishops behind the old bishop with horror and asked tremblingly:
"All of them?"
"right!"
At this moment, the faces of everyone in Nuremberg, even Audrey, changed drastically and they were filled with fear.
It's fine if you mess with the gods, but you even dare to mess with the kings? ?
Forget it. This time, not to mention the demigods, even the angels can't do such a great feat.
I guess it would take several days of meetings among several big figures in the church to carry out this execution, right
Fortunately, no god had thrown a divine punishment on them and sent them to heaven.
After shaking his head in fear, the Grand Duke of Nuremberg asked incredulously:
"How dare he do that to a fellow like that?"
This was also what the bishops were most puzzled about.
It's okay for such a small character to dare to do that, but how did he survive until now
However, this problem was solved after they uncovered Mozo's "frame-up" and the prophecy scroll!
This guy is actually a fanatic follower of the evil god!
And he was able to hide for so long, he must have some kind of shelter for secret blasphemy!
After thinking about this, the old bishop said to the Grand Duke of Nuremberg seriously:
"This matter may very well involve the evil god. We must be extremely cautious."
As he spoke, the old bishop looked towards Audrey and the elf's cage.
The Grand Duke of Nuremberg also hurriedly explained:
"Please rest assured, this lady is from the Wolf Family in the North. There will be absolutely no problem!"
This made the old bishop feel more at ease and also restrained the malice and scrutiny in his eyes.
The Wolf family still has to give face.
Immediately, the old bishop put on a kind face and said:
"Hello, dear lady. Just in case, please allow me to perform a small ceremony for you!"
"Don't worry, this will only point out whether there is something hidden behind you! Such as the blessing or curse of the evil god!"
174 The Elf's 'Helping Hand' (3k)
Audrey nodded as a matter of course to this reasonable request and said:
"Of course, please start!"
Seeing that the other party was so cooperative and of such a distinguished status, everyone present relaxed for a while.
Today's matter has basically come to an end here. It is said that the cultists will be tracked down later, but according to everyone's experience, this is where it ends.
After all, even among the cultists with poor brains, there are rarely such crazy guys.
But when the old bishop began to perform the ceremony for Audrey, something unexpected happened to everyone.
It was just a routine verification ceremony just in case, but there was a reaction?!
The simple but precise inscription arrays carved by the old bishop around the cage are lighting up one after another. Normally, there should be no reaction at all!
Because this ritual will only work on those who have been blessed or cursed by the higher powers.
Such as the saints or the damned.
And now...
The old bishop took a step back and asked:
"Dear lady, are you a believer of a certain god?"
The Archduke of Nuremberg had quietly left here, and the knights around him also took a few steps forward.
Audrey also noticed something was wrong. Could it be that she was cursed without knowing it
Audrey knew her own affairs very well. She was not a believer of any god, so naturally she would not accidentally receive the blessing and protection of a god.
And the old bishop’s reaction only indicated that something was probably wrong.
So she was cursed by some evil god or righteous god
She frowned and said:
"No, I am not a follower of any of your majesties."
The old bishop carefully observed Audrey's expression and reaction. From the astonishment and panic on her face, he roughly judged that this person should be cursed, not a believer of the evil god.
It would be easy if he is not a follower of the evil god. Although the curse of the evil god is also very tricky, aren’t there so many bishops here
It's nice to do a favor for the North.
So the old bishop said confidently:
"Please do not worry. We are all servants of the true gods, and we believe that your majesties will be happy to lend you a helping hand."
This made Audrey feel more at ease. Yes, with so many bishops here, there shouldn't be any major problems.
But the next moment made everyone stunned.
Because when all the inscriptions lit up, what flowed and appeared from the magic circle that constituted the ritual was not the evil god's curse that they had judged in advance, nor was it the blessing and protection of a certain evil god.
But an emerald green glow!
Feeling the sacredness coming towards them, the old bishop and others subconsciously took a few steps back.
Before it was fear, now it is awe.
Seeing the truth revealed by the ceremony, the old bishop said in amazement:
"This is the color of the Twin Holy Trees. My dear lady, do you believe in the Holy Trees?!"
Without waiting for Audrey's answer, the emerald green light shone even brighter!
Suddenly, an extremely dazzling green light burst out. Although it was so dazzling that attracted everyone's attention, it did not bring any stimulation or discomfort to everyone. On the contrary, this violent burst of green light brought indescribable comfort!
This is undoubtedly the blessing of the Two Holy Trees.
At the same time, Mozo, who was waiting outside the main city, was stunned by the green light emanating from the window.
Could it be that Audrey brought that up? !
They performed the Unmasking Ritual on Audrey?!
Mozo, realizing this, stood up straight.
Audrey was the personal servant of the Sun King, and the Sun King and Audrey were separated by countless generations. In this case, how would people explain Audrey, the personal servant of the Sun King who should not have appeared? !
Just thinking about it, cold sweat broke out on Mozo's forehead.
But what made Mozo feel a little strange and relieved was that after the green light flashed, everything seemed to return to calm.
Mozo stood there, his eyes constantly fixed on the surroundings of the main city.
It stands to reason that after Audrey, the Sun King's personal servant, was subjected to the Unmasking Ritual, not only would the ritual itself emit a dazzling green light, but it should also lead to other strange phenomena, right? After all, this place was very close to the Twin Sacred Trees.
For example, the Twin Trees or a giant phantom of the Sun King, but why is there only a green light
And within the main city.
The dazzling green light had completely dissipated, and at the same time, all the ritual inscriptions carved by the old bishop had disappeared.
It seems like everything is back to normal.
But all the bishops looked at Audrey in surprise. There was no doubt that this young lady from the Wolf family miraculously possessed the blessing of the Twin Holy Trees.
Being not an elf but having the blessing of the Two Trees is extremely rare in history.
Audrey herself was also in great shock and astonishment.
Could it be in that ancient ruins
But didn’t Mozo say that he had solved it? No, maybe Mozo had solved it, but he only solved the slave mark.
After all, the mark didn't show up this time, which means something else happened that I don't know about? !
But thinking of the Green Angel's panic and the mysterious Mozzo last time, Audrey became suspicious of the matter again.
However, she hid these things well on her face, only revealing her doubts and questions about the blessing she received from the Twin Sacred Trees:
"Why am I blessed by the Holy Tree?"
The bishops were also confused by Audrey's question, but since it was not the blessing of the evil god, there was no problem. Although the elves and the Merchant Alliance were fighting fiercely.
But they are not members of the Chamber of Commerce, and all major churches have maintained a wait-and-see and neutral attitude towards the elf invasion.
Therefore, even if Audrey was blessed by the Holy Tree, it had nothing to do with them. After all, although it was not known whether the Twin Holy Trees should be classified as true gods, it was obvious that no one, force, or god believed that the Twin Holy Trees were evil gods that needed to be resisted.
The old bishop tidied up his messy bishop's robe and said to Audrey kindly:
"Perhaps you have won the favor of the Twin Sacred Trees because of something. Although you are puzzled by this, my dear lady, this is not something you should be afraid of or avoid. On the contrary, you should hold your head high and thank the Sacred Trees for their blessing!"
"Because not everyone can have such a grace!"
As the old bishop spoke, he signaled to the Grand Duke of Nuremberg with his eyes. The other party immediately realized and said:
"Release Miss Hepburn!"
However, his words no longer had the initial enthusiasm. Audrey had the blessing of the Two Sacred Trees, and the Merchant Alliance had recently been fighting with the long-eared people.
How could he trust Audrey and the North? He didn't show his teeth because he didn't want to offend the North, whose situation was unclear.
Humans are such realistic creatures.
As the Grand Duke of Nuremberg's voice fell, the elf who should have been asleep actually withdrew his hand from Audrey's ankle in front of everyone's eyes.
This was something that was clearly witnessed by everyone, but everyone, even Audrey, who was grabbed by the ankle, ignored it.
That was why everyone was only looking at Audrey even though she was also in the cage just now. They completely ignored her existence until she withdrew her hand. The concept of her existence quietly appeared in everyone's sight and cognition.
The Knight of Nuremberg used his sword to break the lock and release Audrey. Audrey looked back at the elf and said to the old bishop, "Your Excellency, I wonder what you are going to do with this poor elf?"
The old bishop glanced back and forth at Audrey, the Archduke of Nuremberg and the elf.
