In this way, he will be able to clear himself clearly, and when the incident occurs, the most he will be charged with is the crime of failing to guard properly. Even if he is temporarily dismissed and demoted, by getting rid of this troublesome saint, he will be promoted by those hidden bigwigs in a few years, and by then he may even have a position above the cardinal.
It was really a well calculated plan, but it was a trap that she could never escape from.
The bishop went out after saying this. Since the demons were cooperating with him, it was impossible for him to take action as soon as he went out. That would inevitably arouse suspicion and give people an excuse to accuse her. So she still had a few minutes of safety.
Gwendolyn waved to call the bishop of her faction, Gekar, who had white hair and a long beard and was a protagonist of the seventh rank. She then walked towards Yazi and the others.
"Is it really okay? Gwendolyn's safety. I always feel like this is a conspiracy targeting you."
Although Alice repeatedly warned her that the fact that she could hear the goddess' words should not be known to others, Yazi was unable to keep secrets and asked anxiously.
The bishop must do his best to protect the saint in the temple, unless he really doesn't want to be in the order anymore. Now asking the paladins to split into two hundred soldiers gives him an excuse to leave, which is very disadvantageous to Gwendolyn.
Yazi thought and said this, but Gwendolyn, who didn't know whether she could hear it, just thought that she was concerned about her, and the expression on her face became lively.
"Don't worry, I will protect you even if something happens!"
Gwendolyn patted Ako's shoulder to reassure her even though it was clearly her own danger.
"The paladins must be separated. We cannot ignore the safety of the people in the city just because of possible risks."
"Ah, I see. It's like the Sage's cat."
Hollyanna was the only one who was kept in the dark, and she was still saying something that Gwendolyn could not understand.
"What is a sage's cat?"
"To put it simply, there is a sealed box whose state cannot be sensed. A cat is placed inside and poison gas is added. No one can know the cat's condition without opening the box for observation. This is a famous cliché from the Sage's novel, and it is very similar to the current situation."
No one knows whether Gwendolyn will be in danger until she is actually assassinated. Gwendolyn's choice is to give priority to those who are already in danger rather than to such uncertain things.
But she had clearly opened the box and knew that she would be in danger and die, but now she cut off her own chance of survival with her own hands and put herself in danger.
She is not a gentleman, but a woman.
I can only say that this is Gwendolen's enlightenment, she is more compassionate to the world than her own safety.
"Anyway, don't worry. I will never let anything happen to you. I have to take care of some business now, so I need to be apart from you for a while."
"Then, Ako... forget it."
There are so many crises and I may never see Yazi again. I wanted to say I love her at the end, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. I don't want anyone to see through the clues and involve this child.
"I'm good at dealing with crises, maybe I can help you." Gwendolyn wanted to leave, but Alice reached out and grabbed her wide sleeves.
Watch out for Alice, she's your only chance for salvation.
Alice.
Gwendolen smiled and brushed her hand away.
The Bishop teamed up with the demons to set a killing trap for her, which must be full of dangers. Even if Alice is her only chance of being saved as the goddess said, it is only a chance and not a certainty that she can be saved, because she has put the girl in a dangerous situation where she is almost dead, and she can't do it.
"no need."
Even if it's stupid to give up hope of survival.
However, I will bear the crisis and danger alone.
#Gwendolyn is also our daughter. #
ps: I couldn't log in last night because of a problem with the backend, so I didn't post the chapter I had written. Now I wake up and hurry up to update. The update ends at noon, so this is also considered as yesterday's update. I won't accept any rebuttal, hum╯^╰
Sorry.
I'm so lazy, I finally want to write, but I encountered something that I can't shirk. I'll just write for today, and I'll update it later. I want to rush to S this month, and I want illustrations!!!
216. Enter the Game
"Wait."
As her hand was brushed away, she grabbed it again, and Alice did not let Gwendolen leave.
Yazi, who was talking to the goddess, had already told her everything through palm reading, and she also understood the general situation: Gwendolyn was betrayed and would be in danger, and the goddess designated her as the only person who could break the impasse.
Faced with such a girl, Gwendolyn still chose to leave because she was not 100% sure and was afraid of dragging her down, Her Highness the Saint.
It's totally worth lending a helping hand.
If she had chosen to help Gwendolyn only because of Yazi before, now it was Alice who decided to save Gwendolyn.
"I'm super capable, are you really not going to consider it?"
Alice chuckled and snapped her fingers, and immediately several guests came over here.
The city has been too quiet since what happened to Yazi. Something must be wrong when things are abnormal. A smart person like Alice had already increased the defense around her. The thirteen seventh-level shadow guards plus four sixth-level ones are also a force that cannot be underestimated.
But what the goddess meant was not to consider combat power above level three. Gwendolyn didn't understand, but she didn't doubt that there was anything wrong with what the goddess said. She just couldn't guess it.
What kind of situation would cause all beings above level three to be wiped out?
So, still...
"Don't be so arrogant. Haoliana and I are both of noble status. We are in the same danger. The best strategy is to gather our strength together."
Alice had revealed between the lines that she understood the meaning of the goddess' words, but Gwendolyn was so anxious that she didn't think about it and didn't notice it.
"Can......"
He really didn't want to implicate Alice, but he had missed the opportunity to get rid of her during the struggle. There was a loud sound of breaking through the air, and suddenly the assassin lurking among the guests showed his fangs, and his figure swung the shadow dagger hidden in his sleeve like a ghost and rushed towards Gwendolyn, but after the clanging sound, he was firmly held by Thirteen, Alice's shadow guard.
"Not a demon?"
He was not frightened, and the questioning tone he murmured was what it should be. Only a human assassin could have avoided the Temple's investigation. Is there really a powerful force on the human side colluding with the demons?
She really wanted to catch him alive and interrogate him, but when she saw that the other party showed strength comparable to Thirteen, Alice stopped this tempting thought in her mind and silently gestured to Yazi and Haoliana to get closer.
The goddess's warning still needs to be put into practice, because they are the only three levels in the temple, and the four of them are likely to become a community of shared destiny in the coming period of time.
From time to time, exclamations were heard in my ears. Thirteen was a cold-blooded assassin, a devil in the shadows. He would not care about other guests while trembling. What he wanted was the same as the other party, all of them tried their best to kill the enemy. The aftermath of the fighting between the seventh-level strongmen had already injured several people.
Gwendolyn was anxious when she saw this, but the passage ahead had been surrounded by the Knights Templar. Bishop Gkal of her own faction was afraid that there were other assassins and did not dare to act rashly. He stayed close to her and could no longer care about the lives of other believers participating in the Rangoon Festival.
"Templars, listen up! Subdue the assassin with all your strength!"
"But your safety, Saint..."
"This is the order of the Saint!"
Giving up the lives of believers because of possible crises is not the aesthetic of a saint. Not only will she be disappointed, but Yazi will also be disappointed.
Even if the person in danger is a stranger, she should do her best to save him because of the kindness in her heart. This is what Yazi taught her.
In that first encounter that will never be forgotten.
"Yes!"
The evil ways that use any means necessary will always gain more advantages than the righteous ways.
Most of those who could become Knights Templar were kind-hearted people with devout faith. They could not bear to see their believers being affected. When they heard Gwendolyn's order, they immediately sent some people to help Thirteen subdue the assassin, which was exactly what the other party wanted.
Seeing that the defense force around Gwendolyn was reduced, several assassins immediately threw away their disguises and rushed towards Yazi and the other three, fighting with the Templars.
"The temple has been infiltrated like a sieve."
With her hand on the hilt of the sword, Hao Lianna couldn't help but click her tongue as she looked at the scene in front of her. She didn't believe that so many assassins had sneaked into the Yangon Festival without a powerful insider. They were all human, but they cooperated with the demons to assassinate the saint and caused chaos. In front of the common enemy, the demons, the greatest crisis always comes from within humanity, just like in the past and now in the southern border.
Humanity, war, will never change.
"Let's consider the present first. Although the situation has been suppressed, I still feel that it is not good. Being controlled so easily is totally unworthy of the big hand in the city."
"really."
If they were really determined to kill, a Saint lurking alone would be enough to kill them. But now it feels like the other party's intention is not to assassinate, but to delay intentionally, as if waiting for something.
Alice bit her fingers unconsciously, agreeing with Gwendolyn and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, a magic arrow pierced through the chest of the enemy's seventh-level. The school principal had heard the news and rushed over. The power of the Holy Level was so overwhelming that no one could stop it.
"That's it, be careful!"
Alice finally found the highlight and shouted immediately, but it was too late for her to realize it.
With a clanging sound, while everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, a small round mirror rolled to the feet of Yazi and the other three. They couldn't retreat as the dark light grew stronger. The four people enveloped by the dark light disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Alice!"
After a brief dizziness, Ako opened her eyes and immediately called out Alice's name.
"Stop arguing, I'm here."
When encountering an emergency, the first thing she did was to call her name and pinch the soft flesh on Yazi's waist. Even though she was in a strange space, Alice's face couldn't help but blush.
But Gwendolen's expression was much gloomier.
This feeling of losing.
"Okay, stop acting like a romantic drama here and figure out what happened first."
Reminded by Hollyanna, the three love-brains shrouded in pink bubbles finally calmed down and looked around. They found that the layout was the same as in the temple, but the huge temple was empty and lonely, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. It was no longer as chaotic as before.
Looking up and looking around in confusion, I realized that it was a very terrifying fact.
There are only four of them left in the world.
#The one who only cares about Alice in a crisis is a jerk! #
ps: How can I put it? I know there are some problems with this chapter, but how can I put it? There is no other way. I can't update it in the past two days because I can't write it well. Many places feel awkward, there are bugs, the plot is not smooth, and it is very uncomfortable to write. I tried several times and only wrote a little bit before putting it down to play games and change my brain. In the end, it is only this level.
Be a little more tolerant~
217. Detective Alice
The world changed in an instant, but the surrounding scenery remained the same.
There are just many fewer living people.
The Templars, Shadow Guards and Assassins who were fighting just now all disappeared, and the air was filled with deathly silence. In this silence, the four people who held each other's backs to ensure that they could see each other from every angle could only hear each other's light and slightly trembling breathing.
The mirror that rolled to their feet was strange and was shrouded in light, and they fell into such a strange space.
"It must be an alternate dimension. Except for the four of us, all the others have been isolated outside."
"No wonder they only consider the third-level combat power..."
