Chapter 223 Dragon Warrior

There are almost no decorations in the main hall. It is hard to believe that this is the place where the saints of the Divine Sect sent to the Kingdom of Sauron by the Temple of Roland.

Augustine followed the black veil and then closed the door behind her to isolate the gaze of everyone outside.

Hei Shing slowly turned around, stared at Augustine, and whispered: "Okay, Augustine. Now you can tell me what you are going to do."

Augustine looked around and smiled bitterly, "Miaosi, don't you even have a place to sit here?"

Hei Wei looked cold and pointed to a stone platform next to him, saying, "I am practicing here."

Augustine walked over and gently stroked the cold stone platform, and suddenly sighed: "Why are you doing this? No one is blaming you, at least we are not blaming you. Even Fielding did not hate you. Why did you torture yourself like this?"

Hei Shing was unmoved at all and said lightly: "You are wrong, Augustine. I did not torture myself. I locked myself here just to improve my strength. I didn't feel sorry for anyone...and..." She seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still said: "It also includes Fielding."

Augustine frowned: "Miaosi, you have changed a lot! When we were in the temple, you were not so cold!"

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of the black veil's mouth: "Once upon a time? Augustine, but was the temple in the past like this?" She asked back without waiting for Augustine to speak, "You are the Paladin of the Temple. You are one of the commanders of the Sacred Knights. I ask you, what is the purpose of the Sacred Knights' existence?"

Augustine stood up straight instinctively and said proudly: "The existence of the Holy Knights is to defend the dignity of the temple and the power to guard the temple! Our swords are to fight for the temple, and our blood is to flow for the temple! Anyone who dares to blaspheme the dignity of the temple must first trample on the body of the Holy Knights!"

His thick voice echoed in the empty hall, full of pride and heroism, and his eyes were extremely firm.

Hei Wei shook her head, and the mocking smile on the corner of her mouth became stronger: "Augustin, what are you talking about in the past! So, now?" She seemed to slowly approach Augustine and whispered: "Why should the Temple expand the Sacred Knights? Why should the number of Sacred Knights stationed in various kingdoms be added? Why did the Temple start a war that is no different from the death? Why did the 800,000 loyal believers of the Pantheon be sent to the Southern Continent? Why did the Lord suddenly become interested in the position of the Pope? Why did the Kingdoms that were originally respected for the Temple now talk about the color change of the tiger when they mentioned the Temple? Why did the Temple open three additional taxes? Could it be that those devout believers offered the last piece of food to the Temple to the Temple, which was exchanged for the sword in your hands and the armor on your body?"

Her tone was neither anxious nor slow, and she slowly asked questions, but Augustine was speechless!

Yes, Augustine couldn't answer any of the questions from Heiwei. Or, even if he had questions in his heart, he, who had been trained to become the most loyal paladin of the temple since he was a child, instinctively forced himself not to have any doubts about the temple he had always believed in!

Looking at Augustine's expression, the black veil slowly raised the last string of questions: "Also, why did five new paladins suddenly appear in our Sacred Knights? Are they really the so-called "miracles" of that adult? Is it really the God of Heaven, the Father of the God who moved the faithful and devout elders of the temple, who gave us powerful warriors? Augustine, I ask you. How many tempers do a human need to go through to practice becoming a paladin?"

Augustine was silent for a long time, and finally sighed long, looked at the black veil, and said slowly: "Miaosi, you have really changed. You have become so cold. Even if there is anything wrong with the temple now, after all, we once practiced together, and your brothers and sisters are fighting for the cause of the temple. Do you really have to stand by and watch?" He shook his head and continued: "Graycloth died in the Roland Continent, and the 'God Killing Bow' was also lost. Fielding suffered a defeat, plus you... he was almost in a slump and was no longer the brave and majestic knight of the past! Now all kingdoms are preparing for war, and the direction of the sword is aimed at the temple. Can you pretend to be invisible? The temple has given you supreme honor and extraordinary strength. Can you abandon your faith now?"

Hei Shing sternly shouted, "Enough!" A little angry appeared on her face, and she said resolutely: "I have never betrayed my faith!" She stared into Augustine's eyes and said coldly: "You are right. All kingdoms seem to be preparing for war, and conflicts with the temple are inevitable! But is this also God's will? I think it is the will of that master, right? God pleads with the world, God will not give war to his devout believers, and if this war is unavoidable, then it is simply the one imposed on the Roland people! I want to ask you! Lord Augustine's Paladin!" Her eyes became sharper and sharper, and she said coldly: "As a proud paladin, is your so-called sword of "defending the dignity of the temple" to deal with those Roland people who were originally devout to the temple?"

Her cold voice echoed: "It is not Misi who betrayed his faith, but the temple! If you continue to be under the leadership of that adult, the temple will gradually betray his faith!"

"Bold!" Augustine shouted in anger! His hand couldn't help but hold the hilt of his sword, and a sharp aura suddenly burst out from his body, his eyes were like lightning, and he stared at Black Veal hard. Black Veal did not dodge at all, and looked up at the angry paladin in front of him with his head raised to look at the angry paladin wearing golden armor in front of him, but his eyes looked so sarcastic.

The two of them glared at each other for a long time, but Augustine finally sighed a long time and let go of the hilt of the sword in his hand. He lowered his head and whispered: "Miaosi, what do you want to do? Do you want to publicly rebel against the temple? Even if you are a saint of the black veil, you won't know what the outcome of rebel against the temple is!" His expression was a little hesitant, but he still whispered: "Before I came, the temple's presbyterian church had discussed your affairs, and some could no longer bear your current attitude. Some people advocated summoning you back and imprisoning you immediately, and some even suggested... to deprive you of your identity as a saint and execute you on the charge of violating your crime!"

Heiwei's body shook slightly, but there was no sign of fear on her face. She just said coldly: "Is that? Is that lord who proposed to execute me?"

Augustine shook her head and whispered: "No! On the contrary, the one who insists on protecting you is the master! Miaosi..." His tone gradually softened: "No matter what, you are the Black Veil Saint of the Temple! You are a rare genius in the Temple for hundreds of years. You are also the only saint among the twelve saints in the Temple who have reached the realm of a great practitioner! No matter what, the Temple needs your support now! Haven't you ever thought about it? If a temple's saint rebelled, what kind of blow would it be to the prestige of the Temple!"

Speaking of this, he seemed to hesitate for a moment and gritted his teeth and said, "Miaosi, if you are willing to come back and fight side by side with us, then in the future... in the future... I, Augustine, swears with my knight's dignity, that I will always stand on your side in the future. Even if you become an elder, the chief elder, or even the pope, I will do my best to support you!"

A trace of lost gaze flashed in the black veil's eyes, and she quietly waited for Augustine to finish her words, before she whispered: "You finished? Augustine, you disappointed me too much." Her wonderful eyes were filled with tears: "Is it true that in your heart, I, Miaosi, is the kind of person who is greedy for power? Do you also think that I am against the temple now in order to fight for a higher status and bargaining chip?"

Augustine was shocked by the tears in the eyes of Black Veil and whispered: "Yes, I'm sorry."

Hei Sa took a breath and said slowly: "I have already thought about it. I will not publicly betray the temple. If it really doesn't work in the future, I will leave quietly."

"Leave?" Augustine said anxiously: "Where can you go? As long as you are in Roland, you can't hide from the temple! Could it be..." His majestic body suddenly trembled: "Are you going to the Light Continent? Go and find the Duke of Tulips?!"

A warm smile appeared in the black gaunt's eyes, and her eyes seemed a little free, and she murmured: "I don't know, maybe, or maybe not. I, I just hope that everything is fine when he is there."

The expression on Augustine's face became even more ugly: "Is Fielding's true words? You, you actually fell in love with that pagan devil with Roland's hands covered with blood? Butcher?!"

"He is not a devil! nor a butcher!!" Heisha shouted loudly, and the Mugang in her eyes quickly became cold and said in a deep voice: "If there is someone in this world who really understands me, then it is him!"

Augustine seemed to take a step back, his voice became hoarse, and the expression on his face was helpless: "Miaosi, you are crazy!"

"I'm not crazy!" Hei Shi shook his head: "The madness is that lord, the temple now, and even you, Augustine! You are all having an absurd daydream, and they all thought that the dream of the temple unifying the world hundreds of years ago! They all thought that they could return to the era when the Pope was dictatorial!"

Augustine clenched his fists and he lowered his head. By the time he raised his head again, his face had become cold and no longer had a trace of expression.

"Mus!" His voice also became cold: "I, Augustine, the Temple Paladin, were ordered to bring the orders of the Presbyterian Church! The king of the Kingdom of Sauron made a mistake and colluded with pagans in secret on the continent of Light. I was ordered to kill the envoys from the continent of Light! And as the Temple Sauron, the Temple Paladin, I ordered you to help me with all your strength!"

He glanced at Heiha deeply and whispered: "The news I received before I came, the Paladin Amohus was ordered to intercept it at sea... It has failed! There are twenty-four magicians, three warships, five hundred and sixty sailors, one hundred knights, and Lord Amohus, no one can come back!"

Looking at the cold expression of the black veil, Augustine took a deep breath, and his tone was still cold: "The Chief Elder has a secret order! Lord Muse, if you continue to disobey, I will be ordered to kill you on the spot! And Lord, if you are willing to cooperate with the temple for the last time, then Lord, let you leave 'in a peaceful way'!"

Black veil stared at Augustine's face and sneered, "Is that right? Execute me to death? Augustine, how sure do you think you are to kill me? And what does that mean to leave like the so-called 'peaceful way'?"

Augustine lowered her eyes, looked at the long sword around her waist, and whispered: "Miaosi, don't force me to take action. At such a close distance, I am fully sure to kill you. You know, if you really do it, even if you are a great practitioner, I have a way to kill you!"

The black veil's expression seemed a little strange, and she whispered: "I know." Her tone gradually calmed down: "Augustin, I was the youngest among the temple practitioners back then. I have always remembered your care for me. You, your secret... I have never told anyone."

Augustine smiled bitterly: "Thank you, thank you for keeping the secret, and thank you for never looking down on me for fear and cowardice."

"No, you are not cowardly!" Hei Shi shook his head and sighed: "I think it is simply unreasonable compared to the ancient decree and divine decree that is simply absurd!"

Speaking of this, Heisha suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, if you want to kill me, then come on."

Augustine couldn't help but change his face and took a step back: "You, are you really going to break up?"

Hei Wei's hand seemed to be trembling: "I understand, if you can't report, then that lord will not let you go. Augustine, you are really kind! Do you think that lord didn't send other paladins, but sent you? Do you think that lord suddenly had so many paladins in the temple for? Sending Fielding to the southern battlefield was just intentionally asking him to die! Don't you understand this? The lord of the temple wants change! In his plan, there is no you, no Fielding, and even my place!"

Augustine changed color instantly, and a word came to mind involuntarily.

Clean!

Hei Shiu continued to smile bitterly, "If I'm not wrong, those paladins are the people that the Lord really trusts? Did you know about the interception at sea just now? Why do you hide it from you, the commander of the Sacred Knights?"

Seeing that Augustine finally couldn't speak, Hei Shing slowed down and said slowly: "Augustin, I ask you, although you are still loyal to the temple now, if one day, if that lord becomes the pope and orders the sword that makes you proud to stab at those believers of the originally devout God, will you accept the order? Will you accept the order without hesitation? Will you continue to maintain your loyalty? You must know that as long as there is war, you must shed blood! The soldiers of the kingdom, the army, and even the civilians are originally innocent believers! They just don't want to be ruled by a dictatorial pope! But they cannot say that they betray the gods for this reason!"

She continued to stare at the Paladin in front of her: "If one day your sword faces such an 'enemy', can you, the Augustine Paladin, still bear to take action?"

Augustine was speechless. He really couldn't answer!

Hei Sa sighed: "That adult's intelligence is above you and me! I can think of this question, and he has naturally thought of it a long time ago! So, do you think he will leave a paladin who is disobedient and has great prestige in the army?"

The paladin's body trembled slightly, and a bit of pain appeared on his face. The eyes gradually became as sharp as a blade. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Miaosi, maybe you are right. But if you don't see that day with your own eyes, I will definitely not betray the temple! Now, you are ready to take action!" He took a deep breath: "Don't worry, if that day really comes, I will definitely give you justice! Even if I am executed, I will kill the culprit first! But now, just a few simple words of yours will not convince me!"

He slowly drew out his long sword, pointing the tip of the sword obliquely at the ground, and his majestic figure was like a huge rock that has existed since ancient times. It was cold and unshakable!

His tone was filled with murderous aura: "Hei Shi, I asked you the last time, are you really unwilling to compromise?"

Hei Shing smiled calmly: "Augustin, you don't need to ask anymore! That adult has long thought that I will not compromise, so he sent you here today just to take my life!"

Augustine gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! According to the secret order of the Chief Elder of the Temple, the Black Veil Saint Muse betrayed the Temple and executed for violating the crime! Six people in the Temple of Saint Knights, four leaders of the team of the Saint Knights were sentenced to death together!"

"What!" Hei Shiu exclaimed: "Execute them together!!" She sternly said: "Augustin! They did not do anything against the temple's intentions, why did they execute them!"

Augustine gritted her teeth and said, "I don't care! I'm only ordered to kill people! The matter of sin is decided by the Presbyterian Church!"

This Paladin, who has been the longest-known Paladin in Roland and claims to be the strongest, has stabbed his sword like lightning!

The sword tip brings out a gorgeous and brilliant light!

In the quiet hall, tranquility was broken, a brilliant blood rose up, and miserable blood fell on the cold floor...

Just next to a dense forest a few miles away outside the Temple of Soren, three black horses sat upright with three knights covered in black robes. Under the moonlight, a little golden light appeared in the gaps in the robes. Theirs immediately hung a golden spear!

The three horses stood there quietly, presenting a standard triangular ridge. The man on the left suddenly took a deep breath and said, "It's almost dawn."

The man in charge turned around and smiled: "What's wrong?"

The man on the left said lightly: "I just said it was almost dawn, and the air here always made me feel a little disliked, it was wet and hot. Only this cold evening breeze in the early morning every day can remind me of my hometown."

The person in charge couldn't help but take a deep breath and said slowly: "Yes, the weather here makes me dislike it. I always miss the ice and snow of my hometown, and the chill that can freeze the world on the top of the mountain..." He suddenly turned around and smiled, and whispered to the person who had never spoken behind him, "What are you thinking?"

The man on the right face was hidden under the huge black cloak, but he showed a pair of burnt eyes. His voice was faintly filled with a bit of metal clanging meaning: "I was wondering, if the saint of black veil continues to refuse to compromise, then can that guy Augustine be determined to do it. I heard that there will always be a lot of rich feelings among humans."

The man in charge nodded and said coldly: "We don't need to think about this! If he doesn't do it, then let's do it! Kill it together with them! Humph, a great practitioner and a paladin. I have always been curious about how powerful these so-called strong people among humans are. Especially that Augustine, that guy looks really strong."

The man behind the right seemed a little hesitant: "There is no news for that guy Amohus. I really doubt that he has encountered something unexpected. But I doubt even more, can anyone among humans be powerful enough to kill him?"

The man in the first place snorted coldly: "Don't have to be that trash in Tiamhuus. Even if he can come back alive, I will kill him with my own hands! He is simply a shame to our great race!" His tone gradually became somber: "I was defeated by humans! There is no need for such a shameful dragon warrior to exist!!"

The man behind the left kept looking at the east sky indifferently. He suddenly sighed in depression, with a little annoyed: "Oh, that damn sun is rising, and it's dawn again!"

The sun in the east had indeed risen, and a red sun slowly sprinkled its light on the earth. The light of the sun shone on the three people, pulling their shadows diagonally on the ground.

The person in charge turned around and a smile appeared on his face: "Okay, I know. As an ice and snow dragon, you hate this warm climate."
