This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Bai Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, took a step back, and whispered to Ye Yiyi.

"I'm familiar with this feeling. If I'm not mistaken, she must have been from the military, and her rank was not low..."

"Is it?"

Ye Yiyi nodded imperceptibly, but in her heart she sighed that Michaela's reputation was not just effective, she had fanatical fans as far away as the Imperial Army.

"Gulu..."

The green-robed bishop hid at the back, swallowed his saliva silently, and moved back quietly, as if he was planning to escape.

But Erica suddenly turned around and stared at him with her cold vertical pupils.

"Your Excellency, where are you going?"

Everyone turned their gazes back, and the Archbishop shuddered violently and stood still obediently.

The fight was about to start, but you wanted to run away?

The lady looked the bishop up and down, her eyes revealing an inexplicable depth. She then slipped her revolver into her gun belt and pulled a small black leather notebook and an exquisite medal from her coat, showing them to the crowd.

"I'm Erica, a special investigator from the Imperial Audit Bureau, a first-class knight. This is my ID and my knight's medal!

"According to the imperial law, I am now in charge of this place, and no one is allowed to leave!"

"The Imperial Inspection Bureau! And they're Imperial Knights?!"

Wattol and his friends were greatly shocked. The members of the Knight Bureau, who had long suspected the identity of the lady, also looked solemn and broke out in cold sweats.

They had long known that this woman was no ordinary person, but who knew that she had such a powerful background!

No wonder even the archbishop treated her with such respect that he dared not neglect her in any way.

Even without counting their identities as special investigators of the Inspection Bureau, the title of Imperial Knight alone was enough to make them behave themselves.

The people of the empire are already the best of the people, and the imperial nobles are even better!

"Imperial Audit Bureau? What kind of organization is that?"

Ye Yiyi glanced at Bai Yu doubtfully, but received an equally confused look in response from the female knight.

Well, it seems Bai Yu doesn’t know either.

But Wattol and the others seemed to know, but they couldn't ask at the moment.

But can the laws of the empire actually work in Cui Lengbai?

It seems that the power of this Inspection Bureau is extremely great.

Erica showed her ID around, put it back into her coat, and strode towards Ye Yiyi.

She glanced down at the lump of charcoal on the ground, her expression slightly confused, then she put on a serious expression and spoke to Ye Yiyi solemnly.

"Sir, please show me your identification."

You already know my identity, why are you being so formal?

He glanced at the knights around him, and suddenly understood.

Although Erica knew who he was, others didn't. In the eyes of the Knight Bureau, he was just a daring bounty hunter.

But proof of identity?

I came here from another time, so how can I have any proof of identity?

He thought for a moment, then took out the badge that assisted hunters from behind him.

"I'm Michaela, an assistant hunter of the Church of the Hunting God."

"Is this the Silver Holy Sword Badge?"

Erica seemed a little surprised and couldn't help but exclaimed, "You are actually the highest-ranking Silver Holy Sword Hunter in the Church of the Hunting God?!"

"..."

Ye Yiyi couldn't help but feel a frown on his face.

Your acting is so bad, I'm almost getting embarrassed!

"Let's not talk about my identity for now!"

With a sullen face, he put away the badge in his hand, kicked the tree knight under him, and spoke loudly to the pale-faced archbishop.

"Your Excellency, Bishop of the Church of the Earth Mother, please call out your personal knight. I have a few questions for him regarding this foreign deity!"

"Foreign gods?!"

Erica was really scared this time. Her eyes widened and her dark golden pupils unconsciously spread to both sides.

"What's going on? The bishop's knight is actually related to the evil god?"

Wattol and the others had strange expressions on their faces, and even the knights of the Knight Bureau couldn't help but talk about it.

Judging from the fact that the Hunting God Church’s propaganda work at the Tongtian Tree was quite effective, the conclusion that foreign gods were equivalent to evil gods had already been deeply rooted in the minds of the people.

"archbishop!"

After Erica reacted, her face was solemn and her eyes were cold.

"I don't need to remind you how serious the matter of foreign gods is!

"Where's your tree knight? Call him out!"

"He...he's not here..."

The bishop was sweating profusely and kept talking nonsense.

"I sent him on a mission this morning... and he's not in the church right now...

"Sir Erica, I think there might be some misunderstanding. He has been guarding the Earth Mother Church for many years. How could he be connected with the evil god..."

"You mean to say that a Silver Holy Sword-level auxiliary hunter is slandering you?"

Erica's eyes were cold, and murderous intent emanated from her pupils.

"Do you know who this Mr. Michaela is?"

The archbishop wiped the sweat from his forehead with trembling hands, but shook his head.

"All right!"

Ye Yiyi stretched out his hand to signal Erica to stop for the time being, then grabbed the tree knight under him and gestured to the pale-faced bishop.

"Since you said that the knight went on a mission, can I ask what the mission was?"

"This... this is an internal matter of the Earth Mother Cult, and it's not convenient to disclose..."

"Still talking hard."

Ye Yiyi shook his head helplessly, reached out and patted the tree knight's charred face, and spoke.

"My friend, you're not dead yet, are you? Why didn't you say hello when you saw the bishop?"

The Treeman Knight slightly opened his only remaining eye, and his gaze fell on the sweating bishop. In the end, he said nothing, but just let out a faint sigh.

"Ugh……"

Erica frowned, stared at the coke in Ye Yiyi's hand, and finally reacted.

"Sir Michaela, could he be the Treeman Knight?!"

"Yes."

Ye Yiyi nodded, then said coldly:

"Earth Mother Cult, you cultivate immortal fungi in the underground ruins to achieve your unknown goals, and even allow an immortal insect to grow into an overlord!

"Do you know what the consequences would be if that undead insect came to the surface and released the evil fungus on a large scale, allowing it to absorb life and grow?

"By then, the entire Tongtian Tree will be wiped out, all of them dying under the proliferation of the evil fungus!"

“What… what nonsense!”

The bishop was sweating all over, his face was pale, and he denied it immediately.

"Sir, please don't listen to his nonsense..."

"You'll know if I'm talking nonsense if you go down and take a look."

Ye Yiyi sneered, "The body of the immortal worm is still down there, and those nasty fungi haven't been completely removed. A professional will know the truth at a glance!"

Then he looked at Erica, who had a serious expression, and said:

"Your Excellency the Knight of the Imperial Audit Bureau, I demand that the Church of the Hunting God intervene in this matter immediately!"

“You’re talking nonsense!!!”

The green-robed bishop's eyes were bloodshot, almost heartbreaking!

"What about the evil god? Where is he? The Hunting God Church cannot interfere in anything other than the evil god incident! And you still want them to intervene! What are your intentions?!"

"Heh~ Do you really want me to make things clear?"

Ye Yiyi smiled and took out the hymn book from behind him.

“Unfortunately, this Treeman Knight is carrying a hymn book written in sacred script!

"The alien deity, the Lord of the Dense Forest, and the Forest Oak People, born from the blood of the Lord of the Dense Forest, even simulate divinity and transform humans into sacred hymns of the Holy Oak!

"Do you think these things can be used as evidence?"

"..."

The green-robed bishop widened his eyes and was speechless.

"Your Excellency!" Erica said coldly, "Do you have anything else to defend yourself?

"If not, then send someone to invite everyone from the Hunting God Church to come."

"Do it!!!"

The bishop suddenly roared, then turned around and ran towards the depths of the church.

In an instant, several cat knights raised their rapiers without hesitation and stabbed at Erica and Ye one by one.

“Bang bang bang bang bang!!!”

A golden light flashed in the lady's eyes. She pulled out the pistol from her waist like lightning, her finger firmly gripped the trigger, and her right hand continuously pulled the hammer, emptying all the bullets in the magazine in an instant.

Soul Echo +198

Soul Echo +198

Soul Echo +198

Soul Echo +198

The five cat-man knights who suddenly attacked had blood splattering on their foreheads, their skulls were pierced by bullets, their brain tissue was twisted into a ball of paste, and they died instantly.

"No! There's still one alive!"

Ye Yiyi glanced at the simplified light screen, but only saw four prompts of soul echoes.

"Pfft!!"

One of the cat-man knights fell to the ground, and suddenly countless blue-black vines appeared on his chest, piercing through his flesh and wrapping his entire body.

The next moment, the cat-man knight wearing armor made of blue-black vines crawled up from the ground. A large number of vines gathered in his hands and eventually turned into a long tree spear.

"Wait, this is the tree spear!?"

Ye Yiyi's pupils suddenly contracted.

If he remembered correctly, these members of the Cui Lengbai Knight Bureau called themselves Tree Lance Knights?

"Could it be..."

Before he could think deeply about this horrible fact, vines broke out from the chests of several humans and cat people, turned into vines that wrapped around their bodies, and condensed into tree spears in their hands.

"Michaela! Go after the Bishop!"

Bai Yu shouted, "I'm here!"

"We must not let him get away!" Erica also shouted sternly.

"understand!"

Ye Yiyi had no time to think, and subconsciously started the hymn [Gallop], then forced his way past the knights who were trying to intercept him and rushed towards the depths of the church.
