Chapter 890 Isabella...Her Majesty

When seeing this familiar city again, Isabella couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Unexpectedly, in just over a year, the church has changed from the only hope for mankind to defeat the devil to an obstacle in the battle of divine will.

Although she lived here for a long time, she didn't have much affection for the church. O'Brien's teaching day after day made her understand that the result is always more important than the process. If the devil cannot be stopped, all gains and losses are meaningless.

She carried out this teaching, chose Zero, who was more promising than Archbishop Mayne, and joined Roland Wimbledon after Zero's defeat. If there was a leader with more potential than Roland, she would still make a similar choice.

Because this is righteousness.

Compared with personal interests, she puts the continuation of human beings first.

But having said that, Isabella still had some unshakable regrets in her heart—it was just that she couldn't figure out what went wrong for a while. She didn't understand until she returned to the old holy city.

She was feeling sorry for Zero.

As a pure person who has gone through a long time, Jieluo should be separated from her; there are also many pure people who have secretly complained about the moodiness of the mind flayer, but unexpectedly, she feels that the other party is inexplicably easy to get along with, compared to those who have their own hearts. A pure person with private thoughts and other pursuits in the battle of divine will, Zero's thoughts are undisguised, and her beliefs are far beyond the reach of others.

Isabella found that there was actually not much difference between Zero and her. The only difference was that she was more used to being an assistant, while Zero was the guide.

This point probably has nothing to do with nature, it is just the inevitable choice of the other party after living for more than two hundred years.

If he had met Roland ten years earlier, the Holy City would not have become what it is today.

Too bad it all happened a little too late.

After circling twice, Maggie landed steadily in the camp outside the city.

"We're here, let's go down," said Agatha behind her.

Isabella nodded, turned over and jumped off the giant beast. Soldiers immediately greeted her, "Mistress Edith is already waiting in the tent, please follow me."

In addition to her during this trip, His Majesty Roland also asked Maggie to pick up the Ice Witch, and told her bluntly that she was still "serving her sentence" and needed to act under the supervision of other witches. Isabella didn't care about such a "blunt" statement at all. She didn't wear the God's Retaliation Chain, her hands and feet were not shackled, and even her clothes were brand new. This was an unexpected preferential treatment for her.

Walking into the tent, a woman stood up from behind the table with a smile, "I am Edith Kant, a member of the Defense Department, and the temporary person in charge of the battle against the Holy City."

A mortal of extraordinary beauty, thought Isabella. "I thought you would control the Hermes Plateau first, and then go west to recover the old holy city."

"That's the plan, but the people from Chenxi came too fast." Edith briefly described the situation, "Your Majesty's order is to ensure the safety of the monastery, which is not a problem, the difficulty is how to be safe Transfer out the orphans in an orderly manner—if I remember correctly, they were all raised by the church, right? If you forcefully drive them out, I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect, so I think you may have a way. After all, before the expedition, His Majesty assigned this task to you by name."

Isabella couldn't help frowning, "Wait...you guys came here from the clouds?"

"Why, is there something wrong?"

"That's the main road that the church focuses on. Logically, it shouldn't be left unguarded."

"Is that so?" Edith also lowered her voice, "But the businessman thought it was a secret passage that few people knew about, and Sylvie didn't notice anything unusual."

"The church has been operating here for hundreds of years, and they have been able to figure out every grass and stone clearly. How could they let such a trail that is not controlled by the city wall pass?" Isabella shook her head, "It is only the gang of smugglers who are allowed to pass It was done on purpose, it was originally prepared to deal with the Xieyue Allied Forces of the Four Great Kingdoms, and its outposts are all set up in natural caves among the mountains, so it is normal for them to be ignored."

"Could it be because of the collapse of the order in the holy city?"

"The warning order of the ladder in the cloud is still above the outer city wall. It is logically difficult for such a situation to happen," Isabella was quite surprised. How does this seem like a breakdown of order? It's almost like abandoning the city and fleeing. "If possible, it would be best for me to go to Hermes to have a look in person."

"Let's settle the matter of the monastery first," Agatha reminded, "You should be able to see the situation in the monastery from the air, right?"

"Indeed, Miss Lightning has checked all the three main monasteries, and found a big trouble - the orphans inside seem to be organized, as if they are ready to guard the compound, which is why we have always One of the reasons why no action was taken." Edith spread her hands, "I don't want the soldiers to defeat the Dawn Army unscathed, and end up here."

"An organization?" Isabella pondered for a moment, "Let me go in and talk to them."

"you alone?"

She wanted to say that one person is enough, but she stopped her words, "No, Agatha will come with me."

...

"Yi, Lord Isabella!" Seeing Isabella, Maggie immediately stood up straight, and subconsciously pressed her right hand to her chest.

"I've said it many times, you don't need to add honorific titles, just call them by name," she said with a blank expression, "We are no longer pure."

"Yes, my lord!" Maggie nodded hurriedly.

Isabella secretly sighed. Although His Majesty stipulated the scope of her actions, he did not restrain Maggie, Vanilla and others. Later, they would occasionally come to the Diplomatic Building to see her, chatting about new and strange things in the Witch Union. It's just that they still carry the habits of the monastery, and they haven't completely changed it yet... Fortunately, Agatha doesn't mind these details.

"Take us in." She pointed to the city not far away.

"Aren't the First Army going?" Maggie summoned the Magic Ark and looked at Edith who was seeing her off.

"They will not enter the old holy city until safety is ensured."

The ark sank quickly into the ground, leaving only a transparent ceiling - through the soil layer above, you can see the lightning guiding the direction in the sky.

Although there are four monasteries in the old holy city, they are actually equivalent to one. They are built around the Church of Reflection, connected by passages underground, and a secret road leads directly to the Privy Sanctuary in the mountain, mainly for the convenience of sending new witches to the transformation ceremony. However, since the Awakening of the Extraordinary caused a monastery to be burned down, the connection channel has been closed.

The Magic Ark quietly sneaked into the monastery in the western region closest to the outer circle. Just as Lightning said, the huge courtyard was empty, and there were two thin, yellow-faced girls standing at the entrance of the lobby. The spears in their hands were taller than their heads. high.

"Float up, just send it here." Isabella said.

"Don't you need to sneak in first?" Maggie asked in surprise.

"There are too many sacred stones hidden inside, so there is no need to take this risk." Important places like monasteries often place giant sacred stones, and the coverage can reach more than a hundred steps, far beyond the scope of her elimination.

The ark quickly jumped out of the ground, which caused a burst of panic among the guards—in their eyes, the two of them almost appeared in the courtyard suddenly.

A sharp whistle sounded immediately, and the closed doors and windows were opened one after another. A group of orphans, led by more than a dozen nuns, swarmed out, holding swords, wooden shields, and short bows and crossbows towards the two of them. Agatha's hands had condensed ice, and as long as the opponent shot an arrow, she could wrap Isabella in it at any time.

"Wait, wait! Stop!" Suddenly, the leading nun shouted loudly.

"You... are you... Your Lady Isabella next to His Holiness the Pope?" Another nun asked in a trembling voice.

Following this question, everyone stopped in their tracks.

"It's me." Isabella nodded calmly.

It seems that they have not forgotten themselves. In this way, the task assigned by His Majesty should be completed satisfactorily.

However, the reaction of the crowd caught her by surprise.

"It's really Lady Isabella! Great, we're saved!"

"No...it's Your Majesty Isabella! Your Majesty, please save us!"

"My lord! Please don't leave us!"

More and more people threw down their weapons and knelt down on the ground, and the voice of His Majesty resounded through the compound for a while.
