Stephanie's guess was right.
Not only the eldest princess's manor, but also many other nobles who received outsiders, their manors were harassed by the Inquisition Bureau.
The weaker nobles were so angry that their guests were taken away directly. If they dared to stop them, the two sides would even fight.
There has been a lot of bloodshed.
Stephanie once again brought Andonara into the palace. She had the same idea as a large number of noble officials who were qualified to go to court.
In their opinion, the Temple of Light is crazy.
Roland went to the Magic Association.
He is a member of the Red Magic Tower and has a 'number' in the France Magic Association. Now that such a big thing has happened, the top management of the Magic Association will naturally summon him to the Magic Association.
There were at least three hundred magicians sitting in the spacious conference room.
Most of them are old people, and there are very few young mages. Including Roland, there are only seventeen.
Therefore, they received a lot of attention, especially Roland, who was unfamiliar to them and was often glanced at from time to time.
Then they asked each other in a low voice who this young man they had never seen before was.
Roland sat at the back, facing the crowd of old magicians, acting quite naturally.
This attitude made everyone think highly of him.
It is not uncommon for young people to be capable, but it is quite rare to be capable and stable.
Roland sat and waited for a while, when Alford came in from outside.
He saw Roland sitting at the back, smiled slightly, then looked around at the people in the conference room, and said, "It seems that everyone is here. The situation is urgent now, so I won't talk nonsense. Sanctuary of Light Among them, there is the corruption of the paladin. I think everyone already knows it. I am sure that it is the devil. The Light Cult is going crazy now. Even the mad dog of the Heretic Inquisition Bureau has let go of his leash. The situation seems to have changed. Some are uncontrollable, and our biggest problem is to put ourselves in the middle, a more detached attitude. But this is impossible. The more detached and neutral you are now, the more sudden it will be. Give the Guangming Cult a 'ghostly' impression."
He looked at the people below and saw that everyone's attention was attracted to him, and continued: "So our Magic Association is now going to carry out strategic contraction. Try to stay at home or in the association. If there are people from the Heretic Inquisition Bureau, When you come to the door, try to reason first, and then take action when the reasoning doesn't make sense. It's OK to hurt people, but try not to kill people."
"What the president means is that we should be afraid of the Light Cult?"
"You should be afraid." Alford pointed at himself: "I can't beat the Pope, you can't beat the Saint and the Paladin, why aren't you afraid?"
"But we have a lot of magicians."
Alford slammed the table and cursed angrily: "Are you stupid? We have more magicians? More than battle priests? More than a billion believers of light in the world? It is a good thing to work hard to study magic, but don't take it for granted. My brain is clogged with research."
The old magician who just spoke was blushing.
The number of light believers is only slightly less than that of life believers.
If the war potential is really fully unleashed, no secular force can stop the Light God Religion and the Life God Religion.
The most terrible thing is that the relationship between these two divine religions is quite good.
After all, the goddesses of the two sects are good friends.
"If it's ordinary things, our Magic Association is not afraid of trouble." Elford sighed: "But the fall of the paladin involves too much. An archbishop I know said that the light and divine power have been rising in the past two days. The fluctuations are quite obvious. It seems that the Goddess of Light in the Kingdom of God also knows about this matter and is angry. She may even have cast her gaze down to see how the Light God Religion handles this matter."
"Is it so serious?" An old magician smacked his tongue.
"If it's not handled well, both the pope and the saint may be replaced." Elford snorted: "So, it's not a good thing to be a dog for the gods. You can't even control your own destiny. We mages should be free, To us, Mythra is just a clay sculpture."
Hahahahaha!
All the magicians in the conference room laughed happily.
Except Roland.
After these people had finished laughing, Elford continued: "I still say the same thing. The situation now is very complicated. You'd better not engage in any tricks to make money out of the fire. Don't think you are smart and just show off your politics. If something happens if you don't listen to the advice, the Magic Association won't just save you."
Hearing this, everyone looked stern.
"Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said. It's up to you to decide whether or not to listen." Alford cast his gaze to the end of the conference room: "Roland, come with me."
Roland stood up and followed Alford away.
In the conference room, the figures of an old man and a young man disappeared, and then there was a commotion.
Most people are asking who is the young man who is favored by the president!
Roland followed Alford to the president's room.
Alford sat down first, and then after Roland also sat down, he asked, "I heard that not long ago, people from the Heretic Inquisition Bureau went to the eldest princess's manor to look for you."
Roland nodded: "Yes."
"Then your little queen took action and cut a fanatic believer in two?"
"Yes."
"Things are a bit troublesome." Elford crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair: "Even the top leaders in their own church don't dare to mess with such things as fanatic believers. How about you take your woman with you? Want to avoid the limelight first?”
"Andonara still has to protect Stephanie." Roland explained: "So we will not leave the King of France for the time being."
"How can you help the eldest princess, if you can't protect yourself?"
Roland smiled and said: "Now Andonara is stronger."
Alford's face was stunned: "Stronger? I heard that she could kill the legendary archmage by herself before, and it was still one against two. Now she is stronger, can one against three?"
"I think we can hit five!" Roland said lightly.
If it were a legendary mage like the previous Space Magic Tower, it would probably not be a problem for Andonara to defeat ten of them now.
But as a person, you have to be humble.
And only speaking half of the words will also help preserve your trump cards.
"Hiss! Wouldn't that be able to beat me at least six times?" Alford touched his head: "This is a bit outrageous. How did you get such a powerful wife? Is the king of Hollevin an idiot? So A powerful woman, actually pushed to the outside? Is this his XP? "
Roland's face turned a little dark: "President, why do you focus on the word wife?"
"This is a fact." Alford chuckled: "Looking at your serious face, I can't help but want to tease you."
Roland felt a toothache.
Moody.
"Okay, that's the end of the joke." After all, Alford is an old man with enough experience and high emotional intelligence. He knows the appropriate level of jokes: "Since you want to stay here to help Stephanie, I don’t have any objections, so you should be careful.”
"I know."
"Actually, I'm not worried about you. After all, you are the son of gold and you are immortal." Alford was a little envious: "And you also have a friend who is also a paladin. It's just a pity that he went to the devil's holy war, otherwise he could borrow your money. relationship, please ask him for some help. In addition, you are not in danger, so Stephanie will ask you to take care of it. The situation is going to be chaotic now. As the future queen, there is no guarantee that she will be targeted and take advantage of the chaos. Do something to her."
Roland nodded: "That's right, she is also my friend after all."
Then Alford waved his hand, and Roland stood up to say goodbye and left the Magic Association.
When I returned to the eldest princess's manor, I found that both she and Andonara had returned.
The two of them and Mrs. Bluebird were drinking fruit wine.
Roland sat in front of them and asked, "What did the king say?"
"He asked all the nobles to keep a low profile and try not to conflict with the Light Cult." Stephanie smiled bitterly: "He also specially criticized me a few words, saying that it was not a wise move for me to fight against the fanatics. "
"He means to ask you to hand over Andonara?" Roland's expression turned a little cold.
"It doesn't mean that." Stephanie said helplessly: "Roland, you have some confidence in our royal family. In any case, we have no reason to be afraid of a fanatical believer."
"What does the king mean?"
"What he means is that it's best for Andonara to hide."
At this time, Andonara interrupted and said, "But I want to protect you. You are actually more dangerous than me."
Indeed.
Andonara's strength is too strong. Although she is targeted by fanatics, in fact, she is almost in no danger.
Even if the Pope takes action, it is hard to say whether he can stand in front of her for a minute.
Stephanie said happily: "Thank you Anna."
Blue Bird looked at Andonara with some envy.
The weaker the woman is, the more she lives in the aristocratic class, the more she realizes that the so-called noble woman is essentially no different from a prostitute.
Just the word 'advanced' is added.
And women like Andonara, who are obviously very beautiful but can control their own destiny, are too rare.
Almost all women will admire the same sex.
It is a woman's pride.
After thanking Andonara, Stephanie looked at Mrs. Blue Bird: "Betty, you haven't been going home for a while now, just stay here with me. Your man is too weak to protect you. You are It’s so beautiful. If the people from the Guangming Cult take advantage of the chaotic situation and have evil intentions, it might be too late if we go to rescue after receiving the news.”
Mrs. Bluebird nodded repeatedly.
Although what Stephanie said was a bit exaggerated, it also made some sense.
Human nature is the last thing that can stand the test. In a chaotic environment, people's evil desires will be amplified.
Then Stephanie stared at Roland: "I heard that you went to the Magic Association just now. Do you have any ideas there?"
"Like the royal family, they all strive to keep a low profile."
Stephanie chuckled: "As expected, even the magic masters would not dare to capture the Tiger Beard of the Light God Cult."
"So, the Magic Association, the Royal Family, and the Light Cult are not in the shape of an equilateral triangle." Roland clicked his tongue: "They are in the shape of a right-angled triangle. A Temple of Light is worth two."
Although she didn't understand terms such as equilateral triangle and right-angled triangle that made people feel stomachache, Stephanie still understood the general meaning.
She shook her head: "As long as the Light Cult doesn't go crazy, the strength of our three families is indeed about the same."
"Well, as long as they don't go crazy." Roland took a sip of fruit wine: "But now they are crazy."
Just like Roland said, everyone now feels that the entire sanctuary is filled with an aura of oppression.
The Pope led three paladins and strode to the conference building of the Heretic Inquisition Bureau.
Unlike the Temple of Light, which is full of white and gold buildings, the Inquisition building is gray.
Most of the furniture is black, and just looking at it from the outside gives off a depressing atmosphere, which is quite uncomfortable.
There are many stretchers placed on the stone field square outside the building.
Some of the people on the stretchers had their faces covered with white cloths.
This is a sign of death.
And more are receiving treatment.
The situation of one of them attracted the attention of the Pope and the three holy warriors.
It was a heretic interrogator that had been severed in two, but this person was not dead. Whether it was the upper or lower body, someone was using light therapy to activate the body.
Although a lot of internal organs were leaking out and it looked miserable, the medical staff around him still tried their best to save him.
They first stuffed the man's internal organs into his stomach, and then carefully put the two severed bodies together. During this process, the magical healing power of light was never broken.
After the two parts of the body were connected together, under the influence of Guangming's medical magic, flesh sprouts quickly grew on the contact surface, and the bodies spliced together on their own.
And inside the body, the severed internal organs also find fracture connections on their own, and connect, regenerate and fuse at extremely fast speeds.
Soon, the man woke up from his coma.
Although his face was frighteningly pale, at least he could survive.
The heretic interrogator opened his eyes and said to the people around him: "Hurry up, take me to see the director. I found a demon spy. He is a legend. The corruption and depravity of the paladin is probably related to him."
After hearing this, the people around him naturally did not dare to neglect. At that moment, two people lifted the stretcher of the speaker and trotted into the building.
The pope's expression changed and he followed closely.
The director's room of the Heretic Inquisition Bureau is on the fourth floor. When the Pope went up here, he saw the heretic interrogator lying on his back in the large conference room opposite, talking to his own director.
"The smell of demons on her body is very strong, quite strong. President, I can guarantee that she is definitely one of the enemies."
"Is the demon-like woman in the eldest princess's manor still a legend?" The director raised his head from his desk position. There were five or six deep horizontal lines on his forehead. Under the sword eyebrows, there were a pair of cold and ruthless pupils: "You You're not lying? The other party is really a legend?"
"Yes!"
"Thomas, take five hundred people with you to the Grand Duke's manor and help me bring them back."
At this time, the Pope stepped in from outside the door: "You can't do that, Macaron, that is the place of the royal princess, the future queen, we still have to leave the necessary respect to the royal family."
