42. Angel, deep sea, devil
Jinrongzhou, church.
Two burly figures like eagles were standing on the circular vault, their white wings tightly folded, and their handsome and beautiful faces had an unpredictable expression.
"Marn is discharged from the hospital." said the female angel among them, "the saint is going to see him again. Do we want to..."
"Have you forgotten what happened to Elsa and Rule?" The male angel shook his head, "If we show our whereabouts at will, it will be easy for the demons to catch us. The murderer who killed them is still there.
It hasn’t been found yet.”
"But what if he makes the saint waver again?" The female angel said anxiously, "The saint is kind and righteous, but his attitude towards this younger brother is not in line with the dogma."
The male angel said:
"No matter what, mortal matters should be left to mortals to resolve. This is also a necessary test for saints. We should believe in her."
The female angel said:
"I believe in the saints, but what if now is not the time for the test? What if there is a poisonous snake hidden in the test? What if that Marn is actually the incarnation of the devil?"
"If the saint's heart is really stained because of him..." He knew very well how much his companion cared about Chen Yun, "some mortal will deal with him."

Atlantis, Intramuros District.
Ellie stuffed the ancient books on the table back into the bookshelf.
The Watcher, the Father, the Prophecy, and the Land...
The princess walked out of her residence. The sky above the city was filled with sea passages created by magic. Warriors riding sharks and dolphins kept swimming towards the outside of the city - they were conducting military exercises.
War was about to break out, and all three wise kings passed resolutions.
Ellie is not a pacifist. She also participated in the two-year war with the Sea Tribe as a magician accompanying the army. She has also seen the nests of those bloodthirsty creatures and knows that they have their own language and descendants and are not simple monsters.
Therefore, she also knows very well that not every problem can have a happy ending.
The reason why Ellie wants to stop the war is simple.
In other cities, she is a princess with a high status.
But in the royal city, rumors have been with Ellie since she was born. No one has ever seen her mother, and her father has traveled to land. Rumors that Ellie is a mixed race are everywhere, and she herself is
I have heard no less than a dozen stories.
But only the story from my father has some grain of truth.
But before her father went to meet the wise king, Ellie did not fully realize the significance of her identity.
My father didn't want the wise kings to attack the land, not only because he had lived with the people on the land and knew that they were no different from him, but also because his mother was born there.
If she could prove that attacking the ground was not a wise choice, she might be able to convince the Three Wise Kings to change their minds and let her father leave the dark dungeon.
Ellie originally wanted to find out the reason for the riots of the sea tribe, but in fact she didn't have high hopes for this. But after meeting Ma En, she had another idea - she could also prove that she could attack the ground
It won't be a winning battle.
Thirty years ago, the wise kings sent thousands of spies to the land, including Ellie's father. They tried every means to find out the technological level of the land. Then they discovered that the land almost no longer uses magic technology.
There are only a few traces of the magician's presence.
And their comprehensive technological level is far lower than that of Atlantis. They are not even aware of the existence of these thousands of spies. Some of them have even infiltrated into the official organizations of the land government and collected considerable information.
Important information.
Finally, the Three Wise Kings decided to conduct a tentative attack.
He used the power of the artifact to submerge several coastal cities, and then appeared in front of the people on land, claiming that it was an attack by the sea tribe, and offered to claim those submerged cities in exchange for helping to make the sea water recede.
But from Ellie's point of view, the strong man who can free his soul from the royal city of Atlantis may even be able to compete with a wise king, and even the strongest shaman in the sea tribe can't get involved.
The central royal city is protected by a temple.
The information brought back by the spies may be wrong, and perhaps the land is more dangerous than they imagined.
Maybe she could figure out the situation on the mainland while collecting intelligence for them, and then she would have the opportunity to make the wise kings change their minds and reconsider the method of contacting the mainland.
The princess walked firmly towards the library.
…………
Southern part of the Eastern Federation.
Xiang Yu Di swallowed.
If what just happened was not an illusion, then I really have a chance to escape from my current life. No, no, I can't be carried away by ecstasy so easily.
What he saw might even be the incarnation of Ranudast, a devil known for his pranks. Perhaps this was a lie, a trap to completely corrupt him.
but……
Xiang Yu Di lowered his head and looked at his arm. The dense scars formed a magic circle that was difficult for ordinary people to understand, but he could understand its meaning just by looking at it - this was his talent.
When he was seventeen, he attempted suicide and almost succeeded.
His heart stopped beating and his chest stopped rising. Modern medicine could do nothing to him, but the leader found him. The man who took the baby out of the orphanage could do anything.
He dragged the soul of his adopted son back - at the cost of the blood of two innocent people.
Moreover, he also left a special magic circle on Xiang Yu Di's body.
Now even if he successfully commits suicide, his body will turn into a magic circle used to summon the devil.
He threw the knife and fork casually on the table, stood up and walked towards the exit of the restaurant.
Crunch.
There were two congregants standing behind the door. One of them asked doubtfully:
"My lord, have you completed the Holy Communion?"
"It's done." He said expressionlessly, "Take me to the basement. I have made up my mind. I want to learn magic, as well as the knowledge of our master and our enemies."
Both congregants looked surprised:
"The leader will definitely be very pleased to hear this.
"And if we can get your help, our ceremony in Eastern New South Wales may be completed earlier."
To get rid of their control, you have to collect enough intelligence, and you have to make sure that the monitor is not a devil, but this also means that he has to be forced to come into contact with forbidden knowledge - some words really have the power to corrupt people's hearts.
But when an opportunity arises, he has to seize it.
Xiang Yudi still remembered another thing Ma En said.
Chapter completed!
