After defeating Elena, the Sanctuary of Light has a new assessment of Beta's combat ability. Among the paladins, it is also ranked in the top ten.
There are 23 paladins in the whole sanctuary, and only 3 are female. Elena's combat power was almost at the bottom among paladins, but that didn't mean she was weak. All paladins were strong, but some were stronger.
There are only seven paladins remaining in the sanctuary. Everyone else was running around outside, solving some pretty tricky problems for Sanctuary.
Since Bright Sanctuary intends to join the crusade against the coalition forces, it must send one or two paladins to suppress the formation. Tina offered to go to the battlefield, and the higher-ups of the sanctuary would naturally not refuse. Both the pope's line and the saint's line felt that if Tina, a future star, could grow up in the war, it would be of great benefit to her future growth limit.
As for Beta (Cook Green), Sanctuary's views on him are quite polarized.
Some archbishops in red felt that of course the strong had to be recruited, but they had to be put outside, so as not to affect Tina's growth.
Others believed that Tina had a firm and pious belief, otherwise her paladin level would not have risen so quickly. Moreover, in order to become a true legendary paladin, one has to go through various experiences, including emotional ones.
Cook Green should be the 'sharpening stone' sent by the Goddess of Light.
He is the 'nourishment' for Tina's growth.
During this period of time, the two sides had numerous quarrels. In the end, the Grinding Faction prevailed, acquiescing that Cook Green would stay in the Sanctuary. As long as he can abide by the rules of the sanctuary, the matter between him and Tina will be ignored by the higher-ups.
With this in mind, Tina said that she was going to the battlefield, and she also said that she would "bring" Cook. As the leader of the grinding faction, the Holy Maiden of Light naturally wanted to meet Beta.
The Holy Maiden of Light has never seen Beta's two duels. From the analysis of the information she passed, she thinks that Beta is a man who is very arrogant, very powerful, and knows how to coax women.
A very powerful playboy.
Probably, this is the impression.
But now that the two sides meet, the Holy Maiden of Light knows that her previous judgment was wrong. Cooke Green is indeed a very attractive man, but definitely not the kind of playboy who specializes in hunting women.
In fact, it should be the other way around, he is the kind of man who can make women fly to the flame and rush forward by themselves.
Personality, charisma, ability.
No wonder Tina likes such a man. It's just that she felt that Tina might not be able to handle such a man, who was obviously very assertive. The more assertive a man is, the stronger his resistance to beauty and feelings.
"Are you willing to protect Tina?"
When she asked this sentence, the Holy Maiden of Light stared at Beta seriously, and she even activated her special ability.
polygraph.
This is a special ability, not magic, so there will be no magic fluctuations, and it will not detect anyone's spirit, so it will not let anyone know.
Activating this ability will put a heavy burden on her body, so under normal circumstances, she will not use it indiscriminately. Normally, as long as people who are not as good as her, there is no way to counter her polygraph detection.
Beta smiled and said, "Of course I would."
Tina laughed, very happy.
But the Holy Maiden of Light frowned slightly. Her detection ability, according to the other party's answer, will give back either 'yes' or 'no' information.
But what came back this time was 'nothing'.
This is the third time this has happened over the years. The first time it was used against the Pope, and the second time it was used against Cardinal Bridges. These two were extremely high-level, and it was normal to fail.
But the young man in front of him, who is above the master level, is indeed a good fighter in terms of combat ability. It is a bit strange that he may be immune to her special talent for detection.
If a person has the ability to distinguish between true and false, then she will be very dependent on this ability, and if it doesn't work, she will become very suspicious and even a little unconfident. The Pope and Bridges are both comparable in strength to her, so it's normal not to be able to detect it, but the young man in front of him is not high-level, but he can't get feedback, which is very abnormal. She even thought, what if There are many people like Cook in this world, what should we do
The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel.
When Beta saw the Holy Maiden of Light frowning, he showed a slightly puzzled expression: "Holy Maiden, is there something wrong?"
"No." The saint smiled flatly: "I just thought of something else. Since you are willing to protect Tina, then I am relieved. Next, you two talk, I will let this place For you guys."
After she finished speaking, regardless of Tina's shyness, she stood up and left first.
Although the saint walked slowly and had a normal expression when she walked, Beta always felt that she seemed to be stimulated by something, and she walked in a hurry.
Beta's gaze couldn't help but fall on the back of the saintess leaving.
cough cough!
Tina coughed lightly, drawing Beta's attention back to herself: "Fanny is very pious, don't try to get her idea, it's impossible."
There was a hint of jealousy on the girl's pretty face.
It turned out that the Holy Maiden of Light was called Fanny.
Beta shrugged and said, "I'm just a little strange. Shouldn't the Holy Maiden of Light be blond?"
"Yes, but Fanny is a special case. Her belief in the Goddess of Light can be said to be the most devout in the entire sanctuary. It's just that she is slightly worse than the Pope because she doesn't fully understand some of the teachings of light."
Beta doesn't know how high the Pope's level is, but a young woman of lv16, even a saint, is powerful enough.
After all, even if she is little princess Emma, she has just passed the master level. In comparison, Fanny, the saint of light, is obviously more talented.
"Thank you for agreeing to join me in the war." Tina didn't want to talk about other women with Beta, even though this woman was her good friend: "With you by my side, I don't think I will be afraid even in the face of death."
Tina was affectionate, and Beta sighed softly in her heart, and said, "You're welcome, I should be the one thanking you, I have my own mission here, and you have already helped a lot by not reporting on me."
"I believe in the goddess of light." Under the moonlight, Tina's face seemed to have a holy gleam: "But compared to the goddess, the person who is much more important to me is right in front of me.",
...
...
After coming out of the Holy Maiden Hall, Beta sent Tina home, and then he came to a grove near the Alien Hall.
Joan of Arc flew down from the air and landed on Beta's shoulder. Under the moonlight, its feathers reflected dazzling golden light.
"Let me stay outside every day, eat the wind and drink the dew, do you have a conscience?"
It yelled aggrievedly while pecking at Beta's head vigorously. But it still retains strength, even if it makes Beta feel pain, it won't really hurt him.
"Well, here you are."
Beta took out a piece of jerky from the mansion technique, which he marinated himself, because of the cooking technique, this jerky is much more delicious than ordinary ones.
Joan devoured the dried meat, and then almost cried: "During this time, I have been eating raw meat every day, and sometimes I have to eat worms, do you know how hard it is?"
"Well, I'm sorry, just bear with it." Beta thought for a while and said, "Why don't I seal you in the pet space."
"Forget it, staying in that narrow and dark place, I might as well eat raw meat every day."
There are very few people in this world who can contract magic pets, and Joan of Arc's appearance is too conspicuous and distinctive. With pure golden feathers, it may be the only one among the falcon monsters in the world.
If it appeared beside Beta, it would be easy to be found out. Beta was the Pope of the God of Wealth Sect.
So during this time, Joan either hovered in the air every day, or flew to a tall tree to build a nest by herself to rest.
It has been used to the soft quilt, and it changed back to the wild mode for a while, and some couldn't adapt.
But there is no way, in order to hide his identity, Beta can only continue to wrong it.
"By the way..." Joan took a nap, a piece of jerky was quite big, and for it, it was almost enough to consume energy for a day: "I have been observing the light ball above the sanctuary for the past few days, and found that it , seems to have faded a bit."
Beta looked up, looked at the white ball of light in the sky, thoughtful.
In fact, it was not Joan's illusion.
In the Great Hall of Light, the old pope looked at the archbishop in red in front of him: "In other words, the Heart of Light has indeed weakened?"
"Well, it's just these two days." The archbishop in red is no longer young, and looks old: "It seems that it started when we decided to participate in the war."
The Pope was lost in thought.
The Heart of Light has also weakened several times in history, and every time it weakens, it is when the Temple of Light encounters a trough. This is a warning from the Goddess of Light.
According to the conclusion after the event, every trough in the Temple of Light is related to some inexplicable things. And it is often the kind of little thing that is ignored, the chain effect caused by it.
Participating in crusade wars, whether it is speculated from common sense or viewed from a political point of view, is no problem.
The warnings of the Heart of Light are usually the kind of small things that are difficult to be noticed by others. From this point of view, sending troops does not seem to be a wrong choice.
So what could be the reason.
"No matter what, let the high-level people know about this in advance, and don't spread it to the outside." The Pope thought for a while, and continued: "The Holy Maiden, please also inform me. At this time, there is no need for a battle of ideas."
"Okay." Archbishop Hongzhu replied.
"By the way, what happened to Cook Green's identity?"
The archbishop in red shook his head: "I haven't found anything suspicious for the time being. There is indeed such a person in Lago County. And he is also in Echo City, and he has helped Nadette a lot."
