Chapter 688 Conflict in the Side Hall

"Who... uh? Your Excellency is meeting with an important guest... Knight Commander Xavian, you can't come in, you can't come in... My lord, my lord... stop her quickly..."

"roll!"

Boom... The thick wooden door of the side hall exploded with a bang, countless wood fragments flew in all directions, and stones and debris exploded from the walls on both sides at the same time. The two senior senior men who were approaching were caught off guard and were hit instantly. They screamed and rolled in embarrassment, covering their bloody faces.

Then, bang, sneeze... several figures from outside the door flew in and slid along the flat ground of the side hall to the feet of Tang En and Byron. The sound of harsh friction finally stopped when they hit the steps!

Tang En blinked and looked at the obviously unconscious Bright Knights at his feet. He moved his eyes aside and found the middle-aged cleric from before. He couldn't help but lick his dry lips and raised his head...

"Lord Byron..." The voice was low and hoarse, and then, a figure holding a spear appeared in the sunlight at the door. It was a bit dazzling and his face could not be seen clearly. Stepping into the side hall, the light and darkness faded, and then I saw a face with a face carved by frost and eyes as silent as an ancient well. It was familiar yet unfamiliar!

It was familiar because Tang En had seen this face belonging to Xia Wei'an many times and even kissed it once. Strange because this face lacks the familiar firmness and heroism, but instead shows rare decadence, confusion, and anger...

Eyes collide!

After stepping into the side hall, Xia Wei'an narrowed his eyes and flashed a dangerous light, "You are not dead... you are actually here!"

With a tone that was both sad and heartbreaking, Tang En felt the awe-inspiring murderous intent and immediately trembled and hid behind Byron.

"Knight Captain Xavian, what are you doing..." Looking at his subordinates scattered on the ground, Byron's face suddenly sank, and he opened his mouth to reprimand. But before the words fell,

Phew...bang! A linen package fell to the center of the side hall, shaking the ground and scattering. Inside were scattered armor fragments and some burnt black cloth.

Xia Wei'an took a step forward, lowered his head and said to himself: "This is the armor fragment of the temple knight... This is the unique armor fragment of the divine grace of the holy knight captain. It must be Isido... This is the robe of the temple priest. The remnants, if I admit it correctly, come from the Holy Church..."

At this time, another person came in outside the door, it was Owens who looked a little helpless. After looking at Xia Wei'an and then at Tang En behind Byron, he couldn't help but sigh.

Owens secretly sent back the news of the destruction of the elite team before, just to prepare the temple, but he didn't expect it to happen now...

Xia Wei'an raised her head, looked directly at Byron like a knife, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, please explain why they appeared together in an inconspicuous small farm. And..."

The spear was slightly raised and pointed at Tang En behind Byron, "His name is Zachary. Someone told me that he is the northern head of the Bounty Hunter Guild. The reason why the reinforcements went to the small farm is to protect him. . Sir, what is all this for...?"

As soon as the words fell, the hall fell into dead silence.

It has to be said that Xia Wei'an's timing was too good, and she happened to block Tang En and the others in the side hall and caught them red-handed. In this case, even if you want to hide and argue, you can't do it.

Byron frowned, his eyes filled with gloom. Xia Wei'an's sudden intrusion was undoubtedly beyond his expectation. After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Knight Commander Xia Wei'an, this is not your business."

Although there is no direct answer, this sentence undoubtedly implies something.

"It turns out it's true..." He murmured in a low voice, and the tip of the gun hung weakly on the ground. The light in Xia Wei'an's eyes dimmed instantly, and the whole person seemed to have his backbone pulled out, and his heroic spirit was gone. "Fake miracles, corruption of clergy, collusion with bounties Hunter Guild... It turns out that all of this is true..."

Owens shook his head slightly when he saw this. Of course he knew why Xia Wei'an had such a strong reaction. In fact, this was not caused by one thing, but by a series of major blows.

Since returning from Beihuang, Owens has noticed that something is wrong with Xia Wei'an's state. It was precisely because of this that he invited Xia Wei'an to watch the miracles and relax. But unexpectedly, the result was just the opposite. The miracle was revealed on the spot, and Xia Wei'an was hit hard as a result.

Immediately afterwards, the ugly deeds of clergy were revealed one after another in various places, which made Xia Wei'an furious and her emotions fluctuated greatly.

Later, they received orders from the temple to protect the 'great good man' Zachary. Originally, Owens was relieved, because at least for a short period of time, Xavian would not have to see these bad things anymore, but who would have thought that this time it would directly lead to a shocking scandal of collusion between the temple and the Bounty Hunter Guild...

Not to mention Xia Wei'an, who had pure faith, even Owens, who vaguely knew the temple's shady secrets, was a little unable to withstand these repeated blows. This is a rhythm that drives good people to a dead end!

…

Seeing that Xia Wei'an was so sad, Byron opened his mouth and persuaded him, "Knight Commander Xia Wei'an, in fact, you should not know these things. You are a martial arts genius that is rare in the temple for a century, and you have an extremely firm belief in Father God. You just need to concentrate on strengthening your cultivation and eradicating evil heresies."

After a pause, he continued, "But since you already know it now, I can't hide it from you. Yes, the Bounty Hunters Guild is indeed an organization secretly established by the temple. This decision was obtained by that generation hundreds of years ago. The approval of the Pope and the Bishops’ Conference.”

"As for the reason and purpose, it is very simple. Just as the code of your Holy Knights Hall says, purify evil and restore light. So you don't have to be so discouraged. Everyone's goal is the same, and they are all fighting against evil forces. , the difference is just some differences in the way of doing things. I hope I can understand this."

Tsk tsk, what a persuasive and righteous reason... Tang En hid behind Byron and couldn't help but smack his lips softly after hearing the words, secretly expressing his admiration.

Admittedly, Byron’s words make sense at first glance. The general meaning is that it doesn’t matter whether the cat is black or white, the best thing is to be able to catch mice.

However, Tang En immediately shook his head slightly, looking very disapproving. Others dare not say it, but Xia Wei'an understands it. These words can easily change her thoughts? Give me a break……

Sure enough, Xia Wei'an came back to her senses, pursed her lips, and said softly: "Sir, do you still remember the first sentence of the temple's teachings?"

"Of course! All believers must regard God the Father as their only Lord, advocate light, and love the world!"

"So, is the light that is dyed evil in order to purify evil still light?"

Byron was stunned when he heard this and opened his mouth, wanting to say something but in the end nothing came out.

Tang En sighed to himself, okay, this is the familiar Xia Wei'an, the big-breasted and brainless Xia Wei'an. Well, I appreciate you a little now...

Putting the gun behind her back and taking a step forward, Xia Wei'an still lowered her eyes, "Then, will the clergy who are infected with the evil light still be benevolent to the world?"

Taking another step forward, his energy gradually increased, "So, even if you are infected with the evil light and have lost your heart of love, are you still qualified to serve God the Father as your Lord?"

Owens saw that something was not right in the atmosphere and quickly entered the side hall. At this time, Xia Wei'an had already raised the spear in his hand and raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of stubbornness: "Let me tell you. Light can only be light forever! Evil..."

Whoosh, the domineering spear light instantly lit up and shot through the air rapidly.

Owens paused. He originally wanted to stand between Xia Wei'an and Byron to prevent the two from conflicting and causing unimaginable consequences. But unexpectedly, these two spear lights were shot to the left and right sides respectively...

"...can only be destroyed forever!"

Boom...boom...

During the cold drink, strong winds and waves rolled wildly in the side hall, and gravel and wood slag flew everywhere, instantly shattering all the colored crystal glasses around. At the place of the explosion, the two senior old men who came with Tang En had completely disappeared.

Pulling back the spear and raising it high again, Xia Wei'an stared at Byron's back with her eyes slightly red, hinting at tears: "Since I am the stupidest one... then, let me continue to be stupid!"

Stepping forward, the spear fell... (To be continued.)
