Lemons does not like to promote the streets, although this is the fastest way to spread the goddess’ faith. Missionaries traveled in many vassal states, and almost every city has the church of Lucia. The goddess of light is the sun in the sky, and people will look up and see it, which is closer to the shallow material world of mortals than Gaia and Heather. But the holy city of Zangwell does not need publicity. She is the sacred land closest to the kingdom of light, Lucia’s earthly kingdom. She has different meanings from god creations like the pool of shining.

He stared at the rising of flames with an unpleasant expression. Purification was a sacred ritual and should not be so barbaric. The demon begged on the firewood, and the priests read out all kinds of crimes - murder, theft, rape and depravity. People cheered enthusiastically, as if they were enjoying monkey performances. The famous Black City was once a city of tobacco and slaves. One-third of the nobles believed in the goddess Heather so that the plants could grow vigorously. They turned farmers into slaves to plant tobacco leaves, and after praying, they threw the strongest of them into the arena to fight for fun. This became a custom that has been passed down to this day. Lemons was "fortunate" to experience slave gladiatorial fights, and the audience in the stands were so excited at that time.

But this is a necessary measure. Bishop Edge told him that once he loses fear, his faith is not reliable. The Paladin did not doubt this, but people behave differently when facing fear: some will obey, and some will resist more fiercely. The latter is mostly an unstable factor in the collective, because they often do not act on reason, and the damage caused is immeasurable. Alykhia is unfortunately the latter. The Coronal Lord of the Proxy believes that she will continue hatred to Ulier, but Lemons knows that her dialogue makes the strong feelings that exist are fear.

Some of the despicable people feel glad. Hatred destroys reason, but it also makes people desperate. Fear makes Yali cautious. She chooses to use Cardel to do things, and the master of the bishop, Jibert Cossian, who purifies him, is her mentor. If she kneels down and begs hard, even the cardinals of the Glorious Parliament will be soft-hearted. Perhaps they are simply conspiring.

A wail came from the stands, and the flames finally burned to the feet of the sinner. The golden sacred fire was not an elemental assembly, but a flame of divine arts. It was more like a ball of leaping light. Lemons could not move his eyes at the flames for a moment, imagining the pain when the flames rushed out from his toes, burning the soles of his feet and bones. Burn it, burning all sinful thoughts. The flames burn the heart, and justice will last forever. My faith is invincible. The empty realm is almost unaffected by the hot weather in the Holy City, but he felt that he was almost cooked by his armor.

The stolen lasted for seven minutes, and the guards poured holy water on the charred bones, picked up the lumps and put them into the burlap bag. As the priest claimed that the flame of light could purify all sins, the remaining parts of the burning mortals were regarded as baptized pure things and rushed to buy them. Lucia was generous at this moment, and He allowed the mortals to regard foolishness as comfort.

While sorting out the venue, Jose came to report to Lemons on the mission. "At 8:44 pm, they spent the night at an adventurer bar called "Long Live Easter". Its location is near the church, and the Nightingale promised that they would go directly to celebrate after they left." The Paladin stated meticulously, "At nine o'clock, the bard Saudi Apper entered the bar, and the paperclip mercenary group he followed was recently stopped in Zangwell."

"Paperclip Mercenary Group?"

"A group of Western adventurers. They are said to be escorting a caravan to Breth." The shuttle station of the Holy City can go to a vassal state of any glorious parliament, and thousands of merchants and travelers pass by Zangwell every day. Fortunately, the parliament sets the public shuttle station outside the city wall, and Lemons only needs to arrange the Paladin to take the shift of the order ladder every day.

But it is rare to see the Oasis of Soderia. The flow of people is too high, so the shuttle station of the Holy City implemented a bill that restricted the number of people passing by every day long before Bai Zhi's prophecy. The mortal kingdom never used the staircase as the main mode of transportation, and the seven fulcrums each had their own means. The measures of the parliament can ensure that the roads are unobstructed in emergencies, and the price is for travelers. The paperclip mercenary group is not locals, so they may have been waiting here for a long time.

"The bard is not worthy of attention, sir, but there is a fog elf in the mercenary group. He is the Wind Walker."

At this moment, two bandits who robbed wealthy businessmen were hanged. The scene of hanging the criminals was no longer beautiful, and the audience in the stands stopped making a sound and looked at them boredly. Lemons stood beside the railing of a loft in a shop, and the huge canvas dried on the side made a shadow. The sun was high at dawn, but people wanted to watch the fire. The Paladin knew their thoughts. "Is this fog elf illegal?" he asked.

"Not yet. But Favtanner—"

"The envoys led by the Earl of Red Valley are far away from Eastman. The mission of Broken Moon has ended. Jose, I cannot stop them from visiting their ancestral land."

"Yes, sir. But Favtanner is likely to send the Nightingale into the Holy City to inquire."

"Yes, Nightingale is in this kind of business, it's different from the Paladin. The detection station will stare at him, so I don't need to worry." A cool breeze blew, and Lemons opened his face armor in time. "Did this fog elf also go to the bar? Have you ever communicated with the Tower Messenger?"

"No. Only Saudi Aipper."

"Then leave him alone." He began to miss Kader, "continue."

Jose continued: "At six o'clock this morning, they left the bar and went to Gaia's Church. But the priest refused to enter."

The Gaia Church in Zangwell is as unpopular as the Lucia missionaries in the Iceland. Insufficient staff will lead to many problems. Gaia, who is short of hands and feet, cannot accept prayers. Lemons does not understand the details of the conflict between Urial and Gaia Church in Eastman, but he will not arbitrarily think that Urial will cause trouble when going to the church. Fortunately, the detection station did not mention them. "Is he going to force himself?"

"No, sir. There is only one priest left in Gaia's church. He sold indulgences to them after he refused to open the door. The pagan bought all his stock, perhaps to support the church of faith."

It was so naive. The wind had stopped, and the priests began to promote again, and the heat waves and incitement cries followed one after another. Lemons took a deep breath. "Then they came to listen to Lucia's mission?" The attic was located at the corner of the square and the narrow streets, and was open in front of it. From here, you can see the stands and the crowds. Outside the blacksmith shop selling weapons in the southeast corner, the young messenger and the mercenary Sita stood together, and Zoer hid behind the crossbar that was hanging the door curtain. He didn't expect them to come here.

"During this time they went back to the bar."

"Is our bard still inside?"

"Long live Easter? No, Saudi Apper will leave with the mercenary group this afternoon. The rest of the bar are low-ring adventurers, so there is no need to worry."

Jose's words did not reassure him. As long as Uriel stayed in Zangwell for one day, the Glorious Council would be responsible for his safety. Not to mention Ally, there were many people who were willing to kill him. Magdalena was assassinated at the outpost in front of the Holy City Gate. Lemons searched the entire Zangwell but did not find the murderer who manipulated Kader.

The demons who died at the hands of the Paladin left no corpse. He suspected that this was not the work of Lord Glimmer. In the seven demon lords of the Starless Night, Lemons had only seen the original cardinal Anlini. As the Paladin, his understanding of the secret association is far inferior to his predecessors. For this reason, Lemons had no way to change it. Who killed Lord Magdalena? Although the agent had long known the content of the prophecy, in the eyes of those who were unaware of it, it was Uriel who completed her prophecy. Will he be ambushed? Or the secret association sent a new nightingale?

Soon Lemons got the answer.

The firewood has been replaced, and the soldiers dragged the second criminal. This time it was a woman. She looked ugly and had a disheveled hair. She kept scratching the soldiers who were dragging her, and issued a vicious curse. The crowd called her a witch, and I don't know what the real witch would think when she heard it. The harp witch is respected in the mysterious realm, while the White Moon Witch and the Iceland Witch are different. The criminal is just a mortal, and she was sentenced to death by the Holy Inquisition for sheltering the nameless person. Her curse has no effect at all, no fire, and the mystery will not pay attention to her...

...But someone responded.

The sky suddenly lost its light, and the square was shrouded in darkness. The audience's panic shouts suddenly surpassed the actors on the stage. Chaos broke out in the execution ground. Before the first scream, Lemons drew out the holy sword Durandal, and cut the darkness like a silver blade and stared open the darkness. The light shone in. He saw the railing in front of him shattered by magic, and fell into the streets with the huge canvas on the side. Finally, a little splash of water splashed in the sound of shouting and cursing.

Immediately afterwards, the sunlight illuminated the world, as if the darkness just happened to be Lucia's blink. Lemons immediately looked for the target of stalking among the crowd, but the blacksmith shop was filled with strangers. Not to mention Uriel, even the conspicuous Sita could not be found. He was about to continue searching, but someone shouted: "The witch is gone!"

The paladins and mortals looked up together. When they found that the woman waiting to be purified on the stoke vanished without a trace, the panic that had slightly calmed escalated again. No one knew where the witch had fled, but they all knew the witch's curse on the stoke stoke. So people ran away unstoppably, like a swarm of bees on the stoke stoke vanished and left their nests. Two soldiers raised their guns in a daze, and the priest who presided over the ceremony fell in panic in firewood, and the white robes were covered with oil. Look at their appearance, you would believe that only the goddess descended to earth could maintain order in this situation. Lemons believed that he could not do it.

"Sir!" Jose nervously pointed the blade at the opposite street, "Devil!"

Lemons turned his head and saw a smoky figure penetrated into the crowd and ran straight towards Ulier's back. But before he could make a sound reminder, the tower messenger suddenly squeezed to the side and passed by the figure.

The latter disappeared without a trace.
