Chapter 44: The Saint

Who Came to My Door A week passed by unnoticed.

Ophelia has been very anxious lately.

She had purified the corrupt believer before, but the spread of corruption in the royal city was not only not suppressed, but it became even faster.

Almost one-third of the people in the slums have been infected with the disease, and the number is still rising, causing panic among the people in the entire slums.

The Golden Church and the royal family have blocked off the slums and stepped up night patrols.

The search for Princess Millia is also underway. The Vatican has announced that it was a corrupt sect that kidnapped the princess, clearing Lear of suspicion.

During this week, in addition to the spread of corruption, another trouble was also plaguing the royal city.

He was the guy known as the Blood Apostle who escaped that day.

The Blood Apostle would appear every night, and even newspapers began to publish his deeds.

[Demons haunt at night! ], [Why does the bloody demon punish the villain? Is he righteous or evil? ], [The bloody demon's conspiracy! ]...

Reports like these continued to appear in newspapers, and the girl she rescued even accepted an exclusive interview, saying that Mr. Munger, the Blood Apostle, was a good person.

Oufengina couldn't understand why a pagan would punish villains every night. This must be a conspiracy, she was convinced of it, and it was the blood apostle who slandered her in the newspaper. Such a heretic should go to hell!

Ophinina clenched the newspaper in her hand angrily. After a long while, she left the cathedral in a bit of annoyance. She hadn't relaxed much this week. It was not good to bury her head in work all the time. She needed a break.

I came to the street outside alone. It was raining outside and the road seemed a little deserted. Many citizens were hiding at home because of the threats from pagans.

She walked forward aimlessly with an umbrella in her hand, and before she knew it she had arrived in front of a mansion with the word Stuart written on the doorplate.

Ophinina was a little surprised. After thinking for a while, she knocked on Stuart's door.

…

In the room, Lear was holding a bottle of white powder, which he had just obtained from the black market in the royal city.

It is said that a drug that can knock people out with just one drop of it will make them fall asleep. Unless they are professionals at an extraordinary level, even high-level professionals will fall asleep after drinking a drink mixed with just one drop of it.

He got this thing in order to kidnap Ophelia.

Ever since he escaped from Ophinina's hands that night and then awakened his new Blood Apostle skills, this thought has appeared in his mind again.

Blood Thirst can devour the target's magic power by sucking blood. Once the magic power is exhausted, the professional will fall into a state of powerlessness and cannot use skills. Although the physical strength is still there, it is only necessary to stun the opponent.

Perhaps we don't need to wait for Jim to get the item that can seal the power of the law. We can start imprisoning Ophelia now.

Lear thought, although he knew that such behavior was abnormal and Ophelia didn't even have any grudge against him, but such thoughts lingered in his mind.

Maybe this is the side effect of the golden finger? Those carriers of the law source will be attracted to him and it is hard to resist.

Since you can't resist it, just let it be.

He smiled indifferently and put the drugs into the storage ring.

"Master, there is a lady named Ophinina outside looking for you." Ino's voice suddenly came from outside the house.

The smile on Lear's face paused, Ophelia?

…

Sitting in the living room, Ophinina looked around curiously.

The decorations were all very ordinary. As the residence of the Stuart family, it was not as luxurious as she had imagined. Compared with other aristocratic residences she had seen, it looked much simpler.

While she was observing, footsteps were heard outside the house.

Lear walked into the hall and saw Ophelia sitting on the sofa.

When he received the notification from Ino, he was still a little bit unbelievable that Ophinina would come to him on her own initiative, and it seemed that she was alone.

He had been thinking of some means to coax Ophelia over.

"Welcome, Her Highness the Saint." Lear walked forward with a gentle smile.

"Just call me Ophénina, Mr. Lear, there's no need to be so unfamiliar." Ophénina stood up and smiled.

After all, the two had fought together, and Lear had saved her when they were in the slums, so she still had a good impression of Lear.

Lear nodded. "Then I will call you Miss Ophelia. Well, since you have come to our Stuart, please let me entertain you well."

"I'll ask the cook to prepare dinner, and I'll make sure you can taste the specialties of Brayfield."

Ophelia looked at the gentleman-like Lear and smiled politely, "Sorry to bother you then."

"No, it's not a bother at all. Rather, it's my pleasure."

Lear laughed, a smile that was kind but also had a hint of something special.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"There's still some time before dinner, why don't I show you around and we can talk while we walk?" Lear suggested to Ophelia.

"Of course." Ophinina agreed happily.

The two walked out of the living room together and came to the garden at the back.

"Miss Ophianina, what do you want to talk to me about?" Lear asked casually.

Ophelia showed a hint of embarrassment. To be honest, she didn't know why she knocked on Stuart's door.

She just wanted to come out and relax, and when she came here, she thought about Lear's experience and wanted to get to know Lear.

Ophelia was silent for a while, and then she made up an excuse. "Mr. Lear, you should have heard about what the heretical sect has done in the royal city recently. Actually, I came here today to get your help."

Hearing this, Li Er raised his eyebrows. He knew that the royal city had become chaotic recently. He would go out every night to do good deeds. Now the spread of the Blood Law had reached 30%, and it would not take long to complete the task.

Coupled with the rapid spread of corruption, the Golden Church and the royal family became very busy, and even his sister rarely came to see him.

After learning that the princess was kidnapped, Avian was more anxious than him and vowed to help Lear rescue the princess, which made Lear feel a little guilty.

"Miss Ophinina, I am willing to help with the matter of the heretical sect, but as you know, my fiancée has been kidnapped by the corrupt sect, so I will only prioritize searching for Millia's whereabouts." Lear said, pretending to be sad.

Ophinina played with her hair and listened to Lear's answer, and suddenly her heart became heavy.

The corrupt sect kidnapped Millia. Based on her understanding of the corrupt sect, she was likely to have been harmed after such a long time, but Lear still wanted to rescue the princess.

Lear is such a pitiful person.

She looked at Lear and finally decided not to dash Lear's hopes, as that would be too cruel.

Just when Ophelia felt sorry for Lear, Lear suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Miss Ophelia, why didn't I see your guard today? There are pagans rampant outside now, you should pay more attention to your safety."

Ophelia was stunned for a moment. Is Lear concerned about her safety?

She was a little surprised, but still said proudly: "Mr. Li Er, don't worry about my safety. I am the saint of the Holy See. Those heretics are no match for me."

"I was just a little annoyed by work, so I came out to relax alone. Those guys in the Vatican don't know about it!" Ophinina blinked playfully.

Li Er smiled when he heard this, "Is that so? Then I feel relieved."
