There are almost no furnishings in the main hall. It’s hard to believe that this is actually the place of practice for the religious saints sent by the Roland Temple to the Kingdom of Sauron.
Augustine followed the black veil and walked in, then closed the door behind him, blocking the eyes of everyone outside.
Black Sha slowly turned around, stared at Augustine, and whispered: "Okay, Augustine. Now you can tell me your purpose."
Augustine looked around and smiled bitterly: "Miaosi, don't you even have a place to sit here?"
With a cold expression on his face, Heishai pointed to a stone platform next to him and said, "I practice here."
Augustine walked over and gently touched the cold stone platform, and suddenly sighed: "Why are you doing this? No one is blaming you, at least we are not blaming you. Even Fielding does not hate you. Why do you Do you want to torture yourself like this?”
Heisha remained unmoved at all and said calmly: "You are wrong, Augustine. I did not analyze myself. I locked myself here just to improve my strength. I did not feel sorry for anyone... either. ..." She seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still said: "Including Fielding."
Augustine frowned: "Miaosi, you have changed a lot! When we were in the temple before, you were not so cold!"
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of the black veil's mouth: "In the past? Augustine, but was the temple in the past like this now?" She didn't wait for Augustine to speak, and asked: "You are the paladin of the temple. You are the commander-in-chief of the Holy Knights. First, let me ask you, what is the purpose of the existence of the Holy Knights? "
Augustine instinctively stood up straight and said proudly: "The existence of the Holy Knights is to defend the dignity of the temple and the power to guard the temple! Our swords are fought for the temple. Our blood is shed for the temple! Any Anyone who dares to desecrate the dignity of the temple must first trample on the corpse of the Holy Knights!"
His rich voice echoed in the empty hall. It was full of pride and heroism, and the gaze in his eyes was extremely firm.
Heisha shook her head, and the mocking smile at the corner of her mouth became stronger: "Augustin, you are talking about the past! So, what about now?" She slowly approached Augustine and whispered: "Why does the temple want to expand the Holy Knights so much? ? Why increase the number of Holy Knights stationed in various kingdoms? Why does the temple start a war that is almost a death? Why send 800,000 loyal believers of the temple to the southern continent at this time? Suddenly, that adult became interested in the position of the Pope? Why did the various kingdoms that originally respected the temple become so talkative? Why did the temple set up three additional taxes? The money from the sale of the last grain of grain was given to the temple in exchange for the swords in your hands and the armor on your body?"
Her tone was unhurried and unhurried. The questions came slowly, but Augustine was speechless!
Yes, Augustine could not answer any of these questions from the black veil. In other words, even if he has doubts in his heart, he has been trained since he was a child to become the most loyal paladin of the temple. Instinctively forcing myself to never have the slightest doubt about the temple that I have always believed in!
Looking at Augustine's expression, Heisha slowly asked the last series of questions: "Also, why did five new Holy Knights suddenly appear in our Holy Knights? Is it really what the Lord called a 'miracle'? 'Is it true that the loyal and devout elders of the temple inspired God to give us powerful warriors? Augustine, let me ask you. How much training does it take for a human to become a paladin
Augustine was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, looked at the black veil, and said slowly with a complex expression: "Miaosi, you have really changed. You have become so indifferent. Even though there is everything wrong with the current temple, after all, We once practiced together, and your brothers and sisters are fighting for the cause of the temple. Do you really want to stand by and watch?" He shook his head and continued: "Hui Yi died in Roland Continent, and the 'Wiping Divine Bow' was also lost. . Fielding suffered a defeat, and you... He was almost depressed, and he was no longer the brave and majestic knight he was back then! Now that all the kingdoms are fighting hard, their swords are pointed at the temple, how can you pretend to be so? Can’t you see? The temple has given you supreme honor and extraordinary strength, can you give up your faith now?”
Heisha shouted sternly: "Enough!" A bit of anger appeared on her face, and she said decisively: "The boss has never betrayed my faith!" She stared into Augustine's eyes and said coldly: "Did you say that? Yes, all the kingdoms seem to be fighting hard, and conflict with the temple is inevitable! But, is this also God’s will? I think God is merciful to the world, and God will not give him war. A devout believer, and if this war is unavoidable, then it is the Lord who forced it on the Roland people! I would like to ask you this!" Her eyes became sharper and she said coldly: " As a proud paladin, is your so-called sword of 'defending the dignity of the temple' meant to deal with the people of Roland who were originally loyal to the temple?"
Her cold voice echoed: "It is not Miaosi who has betrayed faith, but the Temple! If we continue to be led by that adult, the Temple will gradually abandon its faith!"
"Bold!" Augustine shouted angrily! His hand involuntarily pressed the hilt of his sword, and a fierce aura suddenly burst out from his body. His eyes were like lightning, and he glared at the black veil fiercely. Heisha didn't dodge at all. She raised her head and looked at the angry paladin in golden armor in front of her, but the look in her eyes looked so mocking.
The two glared at each other for a long time, but Augustine finally let out a long sigh and released the hilt of the sword in his hand. He lowered his head and whispered: "Miaosi, what do you want? Do you want to openly rebel? Temple? Even if you are the Black Veil Saint, you don’t know the consequences of openly rebelling against the temple, right?" The expression on his face was a little hesitant, but he still whispered: "Before I came, the elders of the temple once said We have discussed your matter, and some people can no longer tolerate your current attitude. Some people advocate calling you back immediately and imprisoning you. Some even propose that you... deprive you of your status as a saint and execute you for disobedience! "
Heisha's body shook slightly. There was no trace of fear on his face, and he just said coldly: "Really? Is it the lord who proposed my execution?"
Augustine shook his head and whispered: "No! On the contrary, it is the Lord who is trying his best to protect you! Miaosi..." His tone gradually softened: "No matter what, you are the black veil saint of the temple! You are the temple A rare genius in hundreds of years. He is also the only one among the twelve saints in the temple who has reached the level of a great practitioner! No matter what, have you never thought about it? What a blow to the prestige of the temple if the saint Kong Kai rebels!"
Speaking of which. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Miaosi, if you are willing to come back and fight side by side with us, then in the future... in the future... I, Augustine, swear with my knight's dignity that I will always be on your side in the future, that is, when When you become an elder, chief elder, or even the pope, I will do my best to support you!"
A look of disappointment flashed in Heisha's eyes. Waiting quietly for Augustine to finish speaking, she whispered: "Are you done? Augustine, you let me down so much." Her beautiful eyes were already filled with tears: "Could it be that in your heart, I, Miaosi, am Are you the kind of person who is greedy for power? Do you also think that I am fighting against the temple to gain a higher status and power? "
Augustine was shocked by the tears in Guishao's eyes and whispered: "Yes, I'm sorry."
Heisha took a breath and said slowly: "I have already thought about it. I will not openly betray the temple. If it is not possible in the future, I will leave quietly."
"Leave?" Augustine said anxiously: "Where can you go? As long as you are in Roland Continent, you can't avoid the temple! Could it be..." His stalwart body suddenly trembled: "Are you going to Guangming Continent? Find that Tulip Duke. ?”
There was a warm smile in Heisha's eyes. Her eyes seemed to be a little wandering, and she murmured: "I don't know, maybe it will, or maybe it won't. I, I just hope that everything will be fine when he is there."
The expression on Augustine's face became more and more ugly: "Is what Fielding said true? You, you actually fell in love with that pagan? In love with that pagan devil whose hands are stained with the blood of the Roland people? The butcher? !”
"He is not a devil! He is not a butcher!!" Heisha shouted loudly. The look in her eyes quickly turned cold and she said in a deep voice: "If there is one person in this world who truly understands me, then it is him!"
Augustine seemed to take a step back, his voice became hoarse, and the expression on his face was helpless: "Miaosi, you are crazy!"
"I'm not crazy!" Hesha shook his head: "What's crazy is the master, the current temple, and even you, Augustine! You are all having a ridiculous daydream, thinking that you can reappear for hundreds of years. The former temple’s dream of unifying the world! They all thought they could return to the era of the one-man dictatorship of the Pope!”
Augustine clenched his fists and lowered his head. When he raised his head again, his face had become cold and there was no longer any expression.
"Lord Muse!" His voice also became cold: "I, Augustine, the Holy Knight of the Temple, was ordered to bring the order of the Council of Presbyterians! The king of the Kingdom of Sauron has evil intentions and secretly colluded with the heretics in the Bright Continent. I was ordered to kill him. The envoy of the Dead Light Continent! As the Saint of the Kingdom of Sauron, Lord Muse, I order you to assist me with all your strength!”
He took a deep look at the black veil and whispered: "The news I got before I came here was that the Holy Knight Amosius was ordered to intercept at sea... It has already failed! A total of twenty-four magicians and three warships , five hundred and sixty sailors plus one hundred knights, including Lord Amosius, no one can come back!"
Looking at the indifferent expression of the black veil, Augustine took a deep breath, and his tone was still cold: "The Chief Elder has another secret order! Lord Muse, if you continue to disobey, I will be ordered to execute you on the spot! And your Lord's It means that if you are willing to cooperate with the temple for the last time, then I will allow you to leave 'in a peaceful way'!"
Heisha stared at Augustine's face and sneered: "Really? Execute me on the spot? Augustine, how sure do you think you are of killing me? And what does the so-called 'peaceful way' of leaving mean?" ?”
Augustine lowered his gaze. Looking at the long sword at his waist, he whispered: "Miaosi. Don't force me to take action. At such a close distance, I am fully confident that I can kill you. You know, if I really take action, even if you You are a great practitioner, and I have a way to kill you!"
The black veil's expression seemed a little strange. She whispered: "I know." Her tone gradually calmed down: "Augustin. I was the youngest among the temple practitioners back then. I will always remember the many ways you took care of me. You, yours The secret...I never told anyone."
Augustine's smile was a little bitter: "Thank you, thank you for keeping my secret, and thank you for never looking down on my cowardice and cowardice."
"No, you are not cowardly!" Black Sha shook her head and sighed: "Compared to that ancient commandment and divine decree, which are simply ridiculous. I think it is simply unreasonable!"
Having said this, Heisha suddenly smiled and said, "Okay. If you want to kill Cheng, then go ahead."
Augustine couldn't help but his face changed color, and he took a step back: "You, do you really want to break up like this?"
Heisha's hands seemed to be trembling: "I understand, if you can't come back to life, then that adult will not let you go. Augustine, you are so kind! Don't you think why that adult didn't send someone else? The paladin came, but you were sent here? Do you think the reason for the sudden increase in the number of paladin in the temple was to send Fielding to the southern battlefield on purpose. You didn't do this! Understand? What the Lord of the Temple wants is change! There is no place for you, Fielding, or even me in his plan!"
Augustine's color changed instantly, and a word came to his mind involuntarily.
Clean!
Heisha continued with a wry smile: "If I'm not wrong, those paladins are the ones that the Lord really trusts, right? Did you know about the interception at sea just now? The transfer of the paladins, And the transfer of the Holy Knights, why should I hide it from you, the commander of the Holy Knights?"
Seeing that Augustine was finally speechless, Heisha slowed down her speech and said slowly: "Augustine, let me ask you, even though you are still loyal to the temple now, if one day, if that adult should When the Pope orders you to pierce the devout believers of God with your proud sword, will you accept the order without hesitation? Will you continue to maintain your loyalty? You have to know that as long as there is a war, there will be blood! The soldiers of the kingdom, and even the civilians, are all innocent believers! But that doesn't mean they don't want to be ruled by a dictatorial pope! They are betraying the gods!”
She continued to stare at the paladin in front of her: "If one day, your sword faces such an 'enemy', can you, the Augustine paladin, still have the heart to strike?"
Augustine was speechless, he really couldn't answer!
Heisha sighed: "That adult is more intelligent than you and me! I can think of this problem, and he has naturally thought of it a long time ago! So, do you think he will leave a disobedient person behind? Are there any holy knights who are very prestigious in the army?"
The paladin's body was trembling slightly, with a somewhat painful expression on his face, and the gaze in his eyes gradually became as sharp as a blade. Then he gritted his teeth and said: "Miaosi, maybe you are right. But I can't see it with my own eyes. When that day comes, I will never betray the temple! Now, prepare to take action!" He took a deep breath: "Don't worry, if that day comes, I will definitely give you justice! , I will also kill the culprit first! But now, you can’t convince me with just a few words!”
He slowly drew out his long sword, pointing the tip of the sword diagonally at the ground. His tall figure was like a huge rock that had existed since ancient times. Cold and unshakable!
His tone was full of murderous intent: "Heisha, I ask you for the last time, are you really unwilling to compromise?"
Heisha smiled calmly: "Augustin, you don't have to ask anymore! I have already thought about it and I will not compromise, so he sent you here today just to take my life!"
Augustine gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! According to the secret order of the chief elder of the temple, the Black Veil Saint Muse betrayed the temple and was executed for treason! The six guards of the Sauron Temple and the four captains of the Holy Knights were executed together for the same crime!"
"What!" Heisha exclaimed: "Execute them together!!" She sternly said: "Augustine! They didn't do anything against the will of the temple, why should they be executed!"
Augustine gritted his teeth and said: "I don't care! I am only ordered to kill people! The matter of guilt is decided by the Presbyterian Council!"
The paladin who has been renowned for the longest time in Roland Continent and is known as the strongest has thrust out his sword like lightning!
The point of the sword's edge brings out a gorgeous and brilliant light!
In the quiet hall, the tranquility was broken. A bright blood surged up, and the miserable blood fell on the cold floor...
Just a few miles outside the Sauron Temple, beside a dense forest, three knights covered in black robes sat on three black horses. Under the moonlight, a bit of golden brilliance was faintly revealed in the gaps in the robes. There is a golden spear hanging on their horse!
The three horses just stood there quietly, forming a standard triangular prism. The man on the left suddenly took a deep breath and said, "It's almost dawn."
The person in charge turned back and smiled: "What's wrong?"
The man on the left said calmly: "I'm just saying that it's almost dawn. I always dislike the air here. It's humid and hot. Only the cold night breeze in the early morning every day can remind me of my hometown."
The person in charge couldn't help but take a deep breath and said slowly: "Yes, I don't like the weather here. I always miss the ice and snow in my hometown, and the kind on the top of the mountain that can freeze the whole world. Chill..." He suddenly turned around and smiled, and whispered to the silent person on the right behind him: "What about you, what are you thinking about?"
The face of the man on the right is hidden under a huge black cloak, but a pair of burnt yellow eyes are exposed. His voice has a hint of metallic sonority: "I'm thinking, if that black gauze saint continues not to If you are willing to compromise, can that guy Augustine take action? I heard that there are always many rich feelings between humans."
The person in charge nodded and said coldly: "We don't have to think about this! If he doesn't do it, then let us do it! Kill them together! Hum, a great practitioner, a paladin . I have always been curious about how powerful these so-called strong men are, especially Augustine, who seems to be really strong."
The man behind him on the right seemed to be a little hesitant: "There is no news about that guy Amosius so far. I really doubt whether he encountered any accident. But I am even more doubtful that there is anyone in the human race who can be powerful enough to kill His situation?"
The man at the head snorted coldly: "No need to mention that loser Amosius. Even if he can come back alive, I will kill him with my own hands! He is simply a shame to our great race!" His tone gradually became serious. : "To be defeated by humans! Such a shameful dragon warrior has no need to exist!!"
The man behind him on the left had been looking at the eastern sky indifferently. He suddenly sighed in frustration, with a bit of annoyance: "Oh, the damn sun has risen, and the sky is bright again!"
The sun in the east has indeed risen, and a red sun slowly spreads its light to the earth. The rays of the morning sun shone on these three people, drawing their shadows diagonally on the ground.
The person in charge turned back with a smile on his face: "Okay, I know. As an ice and snow dragon, you probably hate this warm climate."
