Late at night, in a certain dormitory of the Temple of the Ice and Snow Goddess, Serena, the chief priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess, was writing an important secret letter in a coded form with special confidentiality ink. Wasn't it the angel of the Holy See appearing in the Kingdom of Saxony? A good sign, these angels are the guards belonging only to the so-called only lord of the world, the goddess Ishtar. ↖, it can be said that they constitute the central force in the goddess Ishtar's domain. These angels will never appear in the secular world easily until important moments. In the competition for the expansion of faith and influence, the Holy City and the Holy See reached a tacit understanding with each other in order to prevent conflicts from becoming too intensified. Both parties would never allow transcendent existences to appear directly in front of mortal eyes.
Based on a major event that happened before, Serena can only guess that these angels have only one purpose, and that is the extraordinary beings who came to the world before!
"Ishtar┉┉"
Serena silently recited the name of this god who was supposed to be in a hostile relationship. This goddess who commanded the faith of the entire eastern continent was different from the five supreme gods. The idea of the five supreme gods was to reconcile the balance of the world so that all things would not be lost during development. Order, while Ishtar radically hopes to change everything, even himself as a god.
After the arrival of the Extraordinary One, spies and intelligence personnel in the eastern part of the continent sent back reports that the Holy See had sent a large number of personnel to search. Apparently Ishtar was also eager to find the Extraordinary One first. It seems that in addition to searching in the eastern part of the continent, this goddess They are already trying to infiltrate their personnel into the western part of the continent. Although the other party has no intention of destruction and no obvious malice, the Holy City cannot just let Ishtar's attendants break in like this. If necessary, it still needs to organize forces to drive them out. As for how to expel them and how to avoid intensifying conflicts into war, this probably requires the wisdom of Her Highness Saint Flora.
With a little ink on her face, Serena thought for a moment and then started writing again. In addition to the appearance of angels from the Holy See, the recently captured cultists and the destroyed demon altars in the Kingdom of Saxony also need to be reported. Especially based on the interrogation of the captured cultists, it has been determined that these cultists worship the Lord of Darkness, Gra. Graz'zt is a powerful demon lord who has survived to this day in the old era of Zite. Graz'zt once came to the world but was repulsed by the ice and snow goddess Azroma.
And take the sculpture of the blasphemous goddess from the excavated demon altar~Hmm~Although I don’t know why the sculpture pose of the Lord of Darkness is very strange┉┉But through the interrogation of the cultists, the kidnapping of the temple maid Tia, and the subsequent investigation of The desecration plan of the temple of the goddess is enough to show that. Lord Dark An's hatred for the Ice and Snow Goddess is probably not that great. Graz'zt is thinking about how to protect and blaspheme the goddess almost all the time.
But there is one thing that Serena needs to get the authorization of Saint Flora, and that is to interrogate the cultists and learn that the priest in charge of the devil altar is named Xia Leduo, who comes from a territory in the Kingdom of Kalut. A wealthy female aristocrat, it is obvious that there must be many cultists who worship Grazite gathered in the Kingdom of Karut. If an investigation is conducted from the Xialuoduo family and the people who have come into contact with it, there should be more that can be found. Cultists hiding in the shadows. It’s just that the Karut Kingdom is located in the eastern continent, and unlike the Kingdom of Saxony, which accommodates both the Holy Capital and the Holy See, the national policy of the Karut Kingdom only allows the Holy Holy See to preach in its country.
If you want to continue tracing. The power of the Holy City will be suppressed everywhere in the Kingdom of Kalut, and it is impossible to fully investigate Xia Luoduo and the cult organization behind it. If these cancers are to be dug out, it can only be done by the Holy See, which has great influence in the Kingdom of Karut. However, when the two major religious organizations face the devil, the public enemy of the world, although they will not inflict pain on each other, the two parties' The relationship cannot be good enough for mutual cooperation and intelligence sharing.
As the chief priest, Serena did not dare to make any decisions about whether to share the information about the cultist Priestess Xia Luoduo with the Holy See. She could only report it to Her Highness Flora in advance!
After finishing writing, Serena finally let out a long sigh of relief. She soaked the letter in a special potion and waited until the writing disappeared. Then Serena put the letter into a special envelope and handed it to the attendant. Because of the confidentiality code, Serena, as the chief priest, cannot use ordinary recording magic devices to transmit information. After all, once the magic device falls into the hands of others, it will be easily cracked and the contents inside can be read. It is a requirement of the Holy City for every chief priest to write letters with special ink and a special code.
"Thank you, Priest Serena. You haven't had dinner yet. Do you need something to eat?" Priestess Elena greeted at this time.
"Eat a little." Serena nodded: "Is Tia's condition okay?"
When mentioning Tia, the priestess Elena said helplessly: "The wounds on her body have been completely healed, but the mental trauma may still take some time to enlighten her. After all, she has experienced such a thing as a child. What a terrible thing. It’s inevitable to be frightened.”
"She is a strong child, but she has too little experience┉┉"
From Edward's mouth, she learned that Tia had the courage to break into the angel's holy flames and save Alphonse regardless of her own safety. After returning to the temple, Serena couldn't help but admire the adopted daughter of Elena's priestess. This courageous person Strong children may be worth cultivating. Generally speaking, the confrontation between the Altar of Destruction of Demons and the Angels ended well. The only thing that made the chief priest Serena feel disappointed was that in the end she failed to convince the two great people Edward and Alphonse. The children traveled to the Holy Capital.
But judging from what happened this time. Both children are good children with courage and a sense of justice.

"Ah Qiu!"
Sitting in the carriage and being escorted to Belica Fortress by the special guards sent by the royal family, Edward sneezed hard. The sleepy Edward opened his eyes and found that it seemed that it was not yet dawn. This carriage is a specially made luxury carriage, which is equipped with quite comfortable facilities and even a bed. This carriage is usually used for the travel of royal family members and a very small number of nobles, because it was influenced by Miri. Ya requested to send the two brothers back to Bellica Fortress, so the Saxon royal family specially called this carriage and arranged for the court mage Grete to send the two brothers to Bellica Fortress as quickly as possible day and night.
"Brother~ are you awake?"
"Ah! It's nothing Al, it's just that my nose suddenly felt itchy just now." Edward rubbed his nose and looked at the blood-stained fragments placed on the pillow and said, "I don't know who is nagging me again."
Under the power of Sleep's spell, Edward quickly became sleepy even while he was still in the bumpy carriage. After saying hello to his brother to indicate that everything was okay, Edward started playing Hache again to prepare to return to the arms of Sleep. .
Al's voice rang again: "Brother, I have always wanted to tell you something."
Ai Dehua said tiredly, "Let's talk about it tomorrow morning, Al! I'm really sleepy now."
"I think the person with wings before was right. Now I am really just an undead soul without a body. Maybe I really shouldn't continue to exist in this world┉┉"
Alphonse's words shocked Edward. In an instant, Xiaodouzi sat up without any sleep. He looked at Al's blood seal fragments and said in confusion: "How can you think so~ Al? Didn't I swear that I would We will find a way to restore our bodies, and we already have new hope in this new world. How can you have such short-sighted thoughts at this time. "
"I just think what others said is right. Now I am just a burden to my brother. Originally, this was the retribution we got for trying to carry out the taboo cultivation of human body. Maybe I really should rest in peace and leave my time to my brother. ┉┉”
"Shut up Al!"
Edward interrupted Alphonse's words angrily. This loud shout even alerted the guards outside. When the court mage Gretel knocked on the door and asked if anything had happened, Edward quickly indicated that nothing happened.
"What nonsense are you talking about! What do you mean you should rest in peace and leave your time to me? You are not an undead soul or a dead person~ Al!" Edward said loudly to his brother with a somewhat frustrated look: "We have been supporting each other until now. , but you are so irresponsible and say you should rest in peace, then when you rest in peace, will I live alone in this different world? "
“┉┉┉”
Seeing his brother fell into silence, Edward took a deep breath and his tone became slightly gentler: "Stop saying such stupid things, and don't believe the nonsense of that winged birdman, what about the undead and Rest in peace~ Please! We are not from the same world at all, maybe the gods of this world don’t have the right to care about us.”
"I know, brother." Al replied softly.
Edward shrugged helplessly and leaned against the carriage and changed the topic: "After I go back, I will try to find a way to recover Al's body first. It must be very uncomfortable to be unable to move like this. I don't know how to use Al's body parts until they are recovered." Can I use other metals instead? And I don’t know who in this world can help me repair my mechanical armor.”
While Edward was nagging about who should repair the mechanical armor, a new partner appeared in Yalin's study in Ulduar City in the Yanold Mountains.
"Edward-kun's mechanical armor is no problem! I originally made his mechanical armor. As long as I have the right tools and parts, repairing it is just a piece of cake." The girl in technician work clothes held up the wrench confidently. said.
"What~ Completely destroyed! Completely┉┉"
“┉┉┉”
There was a brief silence, and a roar echoed in the room: "That short winter melon~big idiot!!!" (To be continued...)
