The side hall of the Temple of Light.
"Lord Malan, Miss Fergus has arrived, and Mr. Leslie is here."
The envoy in white who led Liu Yu in bowed to the head of the side hall and saluted.
"I met Master Malan."
Liu Yu lifted the hem of his skirt and bowed gracefully.
Sitting in the first place was a young envoy wearing a black star moon robe.
He has a cold face, with a pair of falcon-like eyes, when looking at people with those eyes, it seems to see through the whole person.
This is a character who is completely inconsistent with the bright temperament—
He looked too gloomy, and even scared a child to cry when his face was straight, but Liu Yu remembered him.
Throughout the novel, Maran Cecil, who appeared as an absolute villain, died for his faith in the end.
She still remembered that passage: "...Maran Cecil looked at the top of his head, the blue sky still had the miracle of the God of Light, and he closed his eyes contentedly: he finally died for the light."
What impressed Liu Yu even more was Ma Lan's talent in punishment and extorting confessions—
And, of course, his extreme ruthlessness towards "heresy".
His belief in the God of Light is the extreme of extremes, the fanaticism of fanaticism, and therefore, he cannot tolerate any blasphemous behavior, including lust for the God of Light: In the original book, Malan is also Cinderella's Bon Voyage In the life along the water, there are a few stubborn stumbling blocks that are not affected.
Therefore, when Liu Yu saw Malan Cecil, he knew that today's level would not be so easy to pass.
This is a person who is as careful as a hair and extremely cold.
He is the Left Envoy of Light in the Temple of Light in Ellen Continent, in charge of punishment.
It seems that her uneasiness was discovered by the teenagers around her.
Gaia glanced at her.
"Miss Fergus, Mr. Rice."
Malan Cecil stood up, put his right hand on his left chest, and solemnly bowed to the two, to be precise, to Gaia.
"Master Malan."
Gaia also saluted him.
Ma Langao sat in the hall, while Liu Yu, Gaia, Prince Carlo and other envoys stood in the center of the hall under the steps.
"Miss Fergus, I'm sorry, I should have let you rest for a while, but..."
Malan Cecil's attitude was much better than Liu Yu had imagined, but she didn't dare to relax her vigilance. This is a character like a mustache dog in the original novel, a ruthless character who will never let go once she finds something is wrong.
Malan continued:
"...However, this matter is very important to the Temple of Light and to the continent of Ellen. I hope Miss Fergus will cooperate."
"of course."
What's the best way to please a fanatic
More fanatical and pious than him.
"...God of Light, I, Beria Fergus, was entangled by the Dark Apostle. It is a heinous crime. I should be hanged and killed ten thousand times—"
The young girl's face was pale, as if she had been greatly insulted, she was ashamed and angry.
Maran Cecil was not moved by her statement, he interrupted her:
"Miss Fergus, please tell me the ins and outs of the matter again, especially what happened that night."
“… My horse was whipped by Princess Mary during my riding class that day…”
The girl frowned slightly, she seemed to be caught in a terrible memory, and murmured, "At that time, the horse carried me and ran so fast, I thought I was going to die, but who knew, I was saved by Mr. Leslie... Later, a man wearing The cloaked dark apostle haunts me..."
She changed the order, and things were completely different.
And looked at Prince Carlo behind him:
"Prince Carlo can also testify on this matter."
Lord Malan looked at Prince Carlo:
The heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Sauron, the loyal believer of the Light God generation—seems trustworthy.
Prince Carlo nodded:
"Yes, Mr. Edward used the melting card at that time, and called many white-clothed angels over. Ms. Fergus almost died-this matter is known to many people, including Mr. Edward. Yesterday during the day, the dark apostle was still there Hounding Miss Fergus in the library, he forced Miss Fergus to join the dark camp... "
"Why didn't you report yesterday?"
Maran Cecil asked suddenly.
This question is quite sharp, if one fails to answer, even Prince Carlo will suffer.
"This… "
How could Prince Carlo say that he flinched because of a girl's tears of fear.
"Because I'm afraid."
Liu Yu replied.
"Holy light believers, how can you be afraid of darkness?"
Maran Cecil looked at the girl with contempt and coldness.
Prince Carlo frowned subconsciously.
He glanced at Gaia, and found that he stood motionless, even though his beloved lover was ashamed to the point of shame, he didn't show any other emotions.
He felt a trace of dissatisfaction:
This kind of infatuation, in the final analysis, is nothing more than not wanting Mr. Leslie to know the unbearable things...
Prince Carlo noticed Gaia "look" at him.
On the other side, Liu Yu seemed to muster up his courage.
"I was a little scared at first... but I am not afraid anymore. The dark apostle is very sensitive. Since he can lurk in the temple for so long, it shows that he is very cautious. As the most devout believer of the God of Light, even if he risked his life, Also kill the dark apostle."
The girl suddenly showed a sweet smile, "Master Ma Lan, I also succeeded, didn't I?"
Prince Carlo felt a little unbearable in his heart, and this unbearable fermented and grew stronger with her smile.
His heart seemed to be poured by a burst of acid rain.
Miss Fergus doesn't know yet, the dark apostle she left behind at the risk of her life... ran away.
"Sorry, that dark apostle ran away."
Maran Cecil told her this fact, and managed to see the smile on the girl's face stop abruptly.
"Please describe in detail what happened that night—"
"Master Malan, you are so harsh, you are not a gentleman for a lady who has been reborn after a catastrophe."
Prince Carlo said.
"The interests of the God of Light are above everything else, and I have no desire to be a gentleman."
Maran Cecil said coldly, "Or can Prince Carlo guarantee Miss Fergus' innocence?"
Prince Carlo stopped talking.
Of course he felt that Miss Fergus was innocent, but in the future...
Who can tell in the future
"But if Miss Fergus had something to do with darkness, why did she fight him last night and was on the verge of death?"
"Maybe it's too inappropriate to play with the dark apostle."
Maran Cecil was never afraid to use his worst guesses to get the facts.
He looked at Liu Yu:
"Please describe in detail what happened that night."
The girl's eye circles were red. I don't know if it was because the Dark Apostle ran away, or because Ma Lan questioned him mercilessly.
She clenches her fist:
"... That night, the Dark Apostle suddenly appeared in my room, and he asked me for ten cups of blood... As a devout believer in light, I knew that my power was too weak, but I didn't want to miss this opportunity, so I gave it to me with a knife. Bleeding yourself... If you feed too much blood, you will get a little drunk. Sure enough, in the seventh cup, I seized the opportunity and stabbed the opponent's heart with a silver cross... "
"Silver cross?"
"Yes, Lord Malan. Before leaving the temple yesterday, I borrowed a silver cross from an oracle. You can ask him. His name is Owen. In addition, I also asked Mr. Leslie to ask Lord Bruce for a silver cross. Here comes a glass of holy water."
What kind of words can win others' trust
Three points are true and seven points are false.
But if you want to win the trust of a suspicious person like Maran Cecil, you have to be at least 80% true.
She doesn't have a single lie now, but speaks the truth selectively and biasedly, and even pulls down Prince Carlo and Leslie to testify for her truth—
Isn't it right
correct.
All these things happened.
She pulled Prince Carlo, Gaia, and even Bruce who gave holy water—
It will make this statement more believable.
At least, the deepness on Maran Cecil's face was much less:
"Prince Carlo, Mr. Leslie, is that so?"
"Yes."
"Yes."
The two said together.
He tapped the scepter, and a white light enveloped Liu Yu:
"Lie Detection Technique."
"The first question, you swear that everything you just said is true."
"I swear."
At this time, the white light turned into dots of light and shone on Liu Yu. For some reason, he was not as comfortable as Gaia.
"Lie detection technique." Master Malan seemed to lose interest in listening slowly, "The second question is your relationship with the dark apostle."
"The enemy."
The white light still managed to turn into thin light and fall on her body.
Liu Yu then knew that the technique of detecting lies was related to his state of mind at the time.
Now she hates Louis' persecution and regards him as an enemy, so the deception technique will not expose it.
She succeeded in seeing Maran Cecil's emotions slowed down.
His doubts about her were dispelled.
"Lies detection." Malan tapped the scepter, "The last question, has your body been defiled by the Dark Apostle?"
As extreme worshipers of light—
Malay Cecil cannot accept anyone who has an affair with the dark side, even if forced.
Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, she subconsciously looked at Gaia next to her, but only saw the young boy's delicate and overly quiet side face.
He doesn't seem surprised—
Prince Carlo saw that the already pale face of the blond girl was suddenly so miserable that it was comparable to the wall behind her.
Poor Miss Fergus, the secret she is trying to keep from Mr. Leslie...
There was a long silence in the hall.
"Master Malan," at this moment, Gaia, who had been silent almost silently, suddenly stretched out his hand, and a white light wrapped and melted the hoarfrost representing the deception technique, he said, "When Miss Fergus is willing to ask the Dark Apostle When she uses the butcher's knife, it is enough to prove that her heart belongs to the light."
"The light must not accept the dirty!"
Maran Cecil stood up suddenly, "Mr. Leslie is willing to vouch for Miss Fergus, proving that she has always been pure in body and mind, and has never been defiled by that dark apostle—"
"—Malan, that's enough."
The door of the side hall suddenly opened from the outside.
Master Bruce stood outside the door, looking at the girl with red eyes with loving eyes:
"Miss Fergus, you have been wronged. Go back, this is what adults should do."
"But she..."
Malan refused.
"Marlan Cecil, don't forget God's will. Kindness, forgiveness, loyalty. Don't extend your ways to these lovely children in the college. Now, Miss Fergus, Mr. Leslie, Prince Carlo, you should go."
Lord Bruce let them go first.
The girl seemed ashamed, and rushed out covering her face. Prince Carlo chased after a few steps. Seeing that Gaia Leslie was still walking calmly, he couldn't help saying:
"Mr Leslie you..."
"What does Prince Carlo want to say?"
Facing such a cold face, Prince Carlo couldn't say anything.
While speaking, the two had already walked out of the hall.
The girl was waiting outside the door, her eyes were as red as a rabbit. She didn't leave, but stood stubbornly outside the door: "You knew it when you were in the library yesterday, didn't you?"
"Yes."
Gaia never cheats.
Prince Carlo stopped hesitantly, and quickly walked away quickly. He thought, at this time, the proud Belia Fergus must not want others to see.
"Then you...you refused to kiss me later because...you disliked me and I was defiled by the Dark Apostle...you heard Prince Carlo's heartfelt voice, right?"
She seemed overwhelmed, covered her face and squatted down, crying bitterly.
The boy sighed slightly:
"no."
"no!"
She choked and said, "...you knew it a long time ago, you knew it a long time ago...you looked at me, jumping up and down like a fool...so, you kept it from me...you set up a magic circle in my room...because you didn't believe it Me, you think I have something to do with the Dark Apostle... Gaia, I am so sad... Like Lord Malan said, a person like me is not worthy of living... he should die... "
A warm hand touched her head.
The girl raised her head, and Gaia knelt down to look at her through a layer of tears:
"Protection, I set up a magic circle just for protection."
"Protect...?"
The girl said in astonishment.
Liu Yu was also surprised by this unexpected answer.
But God never lies.
His incarnation will never lie.
"why?"
Gaia said frankly and extremely gently:
"Belia, you are just a child. Child, you deserve a chance to forgive."
A thin layer of rain suddenly fell.
Liu Yu raised his head and walked along the eaves and tall pillars, feeling at a loss for the first time in his life.
No one ever said you were just a kid.
there has never been.
Really... Gaia, what is it like
Is it the gentle boy in front of you
How much does he really know
She concealed it very well, even if she revealed it, it would only be at the Guangming Academy... All he knew was that she had a relationship with the Dark Apostle... That's why he had to protect her.
There seemed to be a thick fog in front of Liu Yu.
"So, you care about me?"
She couldn't overturn the lie she told in front of Carlo, otherwise, it would definitely lead to a deal between her and Louis—compelling seems more acceptable than making a deal with the dark camp.
But in front of this loyal and almost stubborn God of Light, she, who is "not loyal enough"—
Is there still a chance
Liu Yu decided to try it out.
Gaia patted her on the head:
"Belia, it's time to go back and rest. I will ask for leave for your professor."
"Gaia... you don't dislike me, do you?"
She stretched out her hand, grabbed his wrist tentatively, and gradually moved up until she hooked the boy's neck, "My feet are numb."
Gaia gently wiped away her tears:
"Don't always play your temper."
"My feet are numb and I can't walk anymore. You carry me on your back."
"Belia..."
"I'm still just a kid."
The boy turned his head away:
"Come up."
Liu Yu happily climbed onto his back.
She was sure he had been very patient with her.
But before that, he denied his disgust and admitted his concern.
No dangerous mountain is easy to climb.
Liu Yu made up his mind in an instant: "I won't give up, Gaia."
Gaia didn't answer her.
a long time:
"Gaia, would you do it with a child...?"
"... Belia."
