Chapter 664
"Your Highness, the Saint, how are you?"
"Your Highness, how are you?"
The pious and beautiful hymns echoed in the church, and the girl in the high-level robe shuttled through the streets. Passers-by stopped and saluted her.
At the end of the street, the sacred tower towering into the clouds can be seen, with the mottled silhouette of stained glass on the top.
The long dark blue bridge, like crystal, also exudes an incomparable holy atmosphere because of the white buildings reflected in the water.
The blue sky and the white clouds, like cotton, smoke and dancing, interspersed into a thick ink painting.
The rows of white and bright yellow buildings, with the cathedral farther away, formed a three-quarter circle, connecting the smooth long bridge.
The buildings spreading outward outside the circle also have obsessive-compulsive regular symmetry.
The entire Holy Road City looks like a huge bird bending its wings downward into a hug, and the center of the hug is the world's largest goddess statue.
However, at this moment, the goddess statue, which should have been holy and majestic, had a dark tear mark at the corner of its eyes.
Iris's face was tense, not as friendly and dignified as usual, and only worry and solemnity remained on her face.
Surrounded by several bishops, Barbara and Archbishop Ophelia, she walked to the foot of the goddess statue, looked up, and her lake blue eyes were full of sorrow.
The statue... has a problem.
A close look can show several fine cracks, and the tear marks at the corner of the eyes seem to have been deliberately smeared on it, and cannot be eliminated.
They were already terrified when such a situation occurred yesterday.
Arrange all the believers in the Holy Road City, as well as the Pope Saint Bishop, to pray.
But obviously after a day, it was useless.
The goddess is using this method to remind them that the disaster is coming, and even she is powerless.
Iris knelt in front of the cracked statue of the goddess, clasped her hands together, and prayed with the most pious sincerity.
"Please give mercy to the goddess, at least... when the disaster comes, give the poor people shelter."
The tears of the goddess seemed to deepen, and Ophelia, who was standing behind her, sighed.
Barbara waited for her to finish praying, and then said: "Your Highness, I heard that the brave man has found the holy sword. Now the continent is fully prepared for war, and even the new demon king has the intention of reconciliation and joint resistance. You don't have to worry too much."
"But I always feel panic in my heart, as if... something bad happened."
Iris stroked her head gently, and she was embarrassed to tell these elders.
Recently, even her aho-hair body has been listless and has no vitality.
"Your Highness, please rest assured..."
Before Barbara finished speaking, the bell of the Vatican rang, which was an emergency assembly and a notice of something big happening.
Iris and other bishops did not bother to continue praying, and hurried to the cathedral.
After entering the church, Iris came to the chair beside the Pope and sat down.
Other bishops and clergy stood up.
The Pope, who looked a little old, was not as energetic as before, and he coughed when he spoke.
"I received a message from the archbishop."
"Ye... died in the Shelley Empire fighting against the sea monster... Please pray for him."
Willard opened his mouth with such shocking news.
The whole conference hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Iris couldn't help but cover her mouth, and her eyes were filled with tears.
Soon, she sobbed softly with the others.
"How is it possible? Ye is the archbishop, how is it possible..."
This is one of the top combat forces of the church.
Willard said sadly: "The ban on Yuankong Continent has been completely lifted, and a large number of sea monsters suddenly appeared in the sea. Ye... has tried his best. Now Webster is leading other churches and the Shelley Empire to resist together."
"In addition, the negative impact brought by the dead mirage is getting more and more serious, the undead army is increasing, and the situation of Archbishop Tiga is also worrying."
"The rebellion in the Holy Empire's Scat City has been so powerful so far. The dragon has not been subdued so far. The bishops and paladins we left there have retreated."
"The only good news is that the new demon king has cleaned up the mess left by Samael on the meteorite, and the meteorite empire can now free up its hands."
The continuous bad news hit everyone's heart like a drumstick.
But they didn't come every three or five days, but were directly slapped in front of everyone.
It was as if it was agreed that good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone, and it will be like this after all.
They were worried, panicked, and sad, and their expressions were complicated and difficult to understand for a while.
Iris bit her lower lip, blaming herself.
When the City of the Dead appeared two years ago, if only she could... do better.
At that time, her level was too low, and as a healer, she had no ability to protect herself, so the church did not allow her to go.
Not only was she protected, but even the heroes were said to have failed to make it there and got into trouble.
At that time, the continent had the highest demand, and the geniuses who met the requirements, except for the Thunder Sword Master, seemed to have gone there, and then... never came back.
The City of the Dead failed to withdraw from the world, and the Undead has since grown stronger.
Until now, the situation has become extremely critical, and a catastrophe is imminent. How could the goddess not shed tears of compassion?
"The ban has been lifted. According to the prophecy of the sage, now is the moment when the entire continent is facing a critical moment of survival. We must do our best."
Villard stood up, the dark circles around his face darkened, but his eyes, which were cloudy with grief, were firmer at this moment.
"We can't just sit there and wait for death. Under the goddess's watch, we must lead humanity through difficulties and obstacles."
"Bishop Barbara, organize the students of the light class in the academy and the Fourth Knights to provide support."
"Bishop Ophelia, lead the Fifth Knights to provide support to the Shelley Empire."
"Little Iris, I'll trouble you with Scat City. This is also a test for you. I have contacted the Meteor Empire through the communication magic device and asked Selina Sword Saint and her daughter to join you to deal with the dragon."
"You... mainly learn from the side, treat and comfort the injured, and be sure to pay attention to your own safety. A team of knights will follow you."
Iris nodded repeatedly, with tears on her face: "Goddess, I will not let down the Pope's entrustment."
"There is no time to lose, you can set off immediately."
When the crowd dispersed, Iris was still in the hall, looking dazed.
The little saint who could issue a military order before, now had a sore nose and couldn't hold back her tears.
"Wow, Archbishop Ye, is he just sacrificed like this?"
She still found it hard to believe.
It's not that they are very familiar with each other.
In fact, since she was canonized as a saint, she has never seen this archbishop far away in Shelley.
But when she was studying in the church, she always heard various legends about several archbishops.
In her eyes, every bishop was the most trustworthy elder.
Now suddenly heard that a pillar of the church fell, it was inevitable to be moved by the scene.
After crying for a while, Iris wiped her tears and cheered herself up.
"Iris, don't cry, you are not the little princess you used to be."
This time, she must not let herself regret it.
She must cooperate with the Sword Saint to kill the dragon and suppress the rebellion!
Chapter 236 There is really nothing I can do about him
Both Iris and Emilia were in good condition, and they began another future story of their lives.
Only Momo's story is still unclear, and no one knows what happened to her.
Rin is still relieved about her.
After all, this is the designated king, and the Grim Reaper must have her deep meaning for this operation.
If she can be taken out alone, there will be no danger.
Retracting the soul perception, Rin let out a long breath, opened his eyes, and hugged Xiye tightly.
At this time, he was being carried forward by Xiye.
He was not tired, but he wanted to be closer to Xiye.
He had already won half of her back before, and now he was trying to open her other half.
The way to pry open is... to act like a spoiled child.
Bah, it's impossible to act like a spoiled child. I will never act like a spoiled child like a girl in this life.
This is giving her a chance to take care of her brother.
And it does feel closer this way.
Rin thought, and blew a breath into Xiye's ear.
Xiye's body did not tremble, but her ears were red, and her tone was helpless.
"Brother, stop making trouble."
"I saw some dust blowing. Sister, be vigilant and be careful of the monsters' sneak attacks."
There were so many high-sounding words, and Lin was not slow to bite her earlobe again.
"Brother, I am easily distracted when you do this."
Rin had to put his head on her shoulder: "Okay, okay, I shouldn't play a prank. It's true that we haven't reached a safe place yet."
"Well, I don't mean to blame my brother." Xiye seemed a little at a loss.
"Just tell the truth, I won't make trouble for you."
"No, my brother is very helpful."
Rin rolled his dead fish eyes, yawned, and squinted again.
He felt that if he closed his mouth, he would be the greatest help to Xiye.
This leisurely time did not last too long, and the island shook again.
Rin, who had experienced it several times, immediately woke up and decisively jumped off the back of the tall beauty.
Xiye checked the magic covering the two people, took a deep breath, and waited for the tide to come.
Soon, they were soaked in water again, moving forward along the stone wall of the cave.
Although this cave is relatively wide and long, the end is a dead end.
This is the flaw of Lin's exploration with elemental magic. A large range can only rely on luck.
Fortunately, this is just a dead end, not a trap, and there are no lurking monsters.
God knows how many times they have experienced this day.
The moth island is really big, far from the drifting island that Lin encountered in the first trial.
They still don't know how far they have walked down, and how long they have to go down to see Behemoth.
However, with each other's company, the claustrophobia and loneliness have disappeared.
Even Xiye had to admit that she still wanted Lin to be with her rather than walking alone.
Except for suddenly using her beauty to hit her critically and occasionally playing a prank on her, Rin really didn't cause her trouble, and he was not a burden in battle.
She no longer needed to spend too much time protecting him during the battle.
Because her brother actually knew space teleportation magic.
It is hard to imagine that a little fire magician can create fire elements that can condense under water without being extinguished.
He can cast curse skills, rune skills, and even space magic.
Anyway, up to now, Xiye has never seen Lin use fire magic.
