"Elras?"
Su Mingan didn't expect that the leader of the soul hunters would come to the territory of the Yunshang Church.
"What happened to Sheridan?" he asked.
"It's just a necessary punishment." Elras said, "He let the souls that should be purged escape, and this is his punishment. This is the spiritual fire of the church, which can make people reflect in pain."
"This is the church's territory." Su Mingan emphasized, meaning that the Soul Hunter Leader should not come to such a place.
"Yes, but I also have the responsibility to maintain Praia's safety." Elras said, "Before each sea feast, the Pope will retreat. I heard that something is wrong with this term of cardinals, so I came to take a look... Hmm?"
He raised his head and looked towards the sky in the distance: "Why is there a fire over at the Cathedral of Light?"
"It was done by the cardinal you mentioned as being wrong. He burned outsiders as sacrifices, and I killed him."
"Well... well done." Elras said: "Su Lin, you are still the sword I trust the most."
Behind him, Sheldon was screaming in the transparent flames, and his screams were extremely tragic.
Su Mingan glanced at Xie Lude who was in great pain, and looked away.
"How long will this punishment last?" he asked.
Looking at this horrific scene, if it continues like this, people will probably die from the pain.
Elras stopped what he was doing, as if thinking:
"About ... until tomorrow morning?"
Su Mingan glanced at the time. It was two o'clock in the morning. "Tomorrow morning, will he still be alive?"
Elras said: "The church strictly prohibits favoritism. As a knight, you must set an example... Xie Lude, he let someone escape who shouldn't have been let go, and he should be punished."
Su Mingan didn't reply.
"Then I'll go back to sleep." Su Mingan pretended to leave.
As he turned around, his steps suddenly stopped.
He saw two Soul Hunters escorting a man with trembling steps into the room.
She was wearing a black coarse cloth short dress and was slowly moving towards him.
"...Before you leave, why not witness her ending." Elras' voice came from behind him.
Su Mingan knew that if Soul Hunter didn't let Jiaerde go, she wouldn't be able to leave even if she got on the merchant ship.
Xie Lude is just a knight of light, he can't protect someone that the soul hunter is determined to catch.
Su Mingan just didn't expect that Soul Hunter could actually do this.
——They would rather punish Sheridan and board the merchant ship themselves to bring the old lady back than let her escape.
They actually wanted to kill everyone.
He looked at the door.
The old woman's figure was still thin, just like every time Su Mingan saw her.
She held the photo in her hand, and the light cast a golden glow over the photo.
Then Su Mingan met her eyes.
She was looking at him, her eyes like a thin piece of broken porcelain. The light froze in her white, turbid eyes, like a gradually melting tide.
Her face was red from the cold night wind, her cheekbones were high, wrinkles covered her face, and the corners of her mouth were raised, as if she was comforting him.
"Su Lin." Elras's voice came slowly from the side: "I have never been particular about who I employ. I can let go of people with ambitions, and I can let go of people with ill intentions. I can also... trust an outsider who I don't know the nature of and has no handle on, as long as he has enough power.
“…As long as he’s human.
“He can only be human.
"so.
“I can trust an outsider who suddenly comes back, and I can also trust an outsider soul hunter whose background I don’t know.
"…But I can't trust a soul clan member."
"So what did Jiaerde do wrong?" Su Mingan asked.
"She is wrong because she is a soul clan member." Elras responded.
"Who told you? Did she kill someone, hurt someone, or was she discovered by other soul clan members?" Su Mingan didn't believe that she was a soul clan member. There was no trace of soul clan members on her from beginning to end, so how could she be a soul clan member?
Elras stared at him. "She was indeed once human."
"once?"
"In order to support her family that had lost her husband and son, she made a deal with the Cloud Church... She made a shocking decision." Elras said: "... This is a very long story.
At that time, her daughter and granddaughter were still young, and there was only one laborer in the family.
In order to wait for her husband to return from Yunshang City, she signed up for the human experiment conducted by Yunshang Church at that time.
The Cloud Church transformed her into a soul clan. Because she is a transformed soul clan, her aura will not attract the attention of other soul clans. However, even if she is a failed transformation, we still cannot let our guard down against her. "
"So, when the Soul Clan's movements got louder recently, you couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to cross the river and destroy the bridge." Su Mingan continued his words: "You issued me a second cleanup mission just to ask me, an outsider, to kill this Soul Clan member who is clearly a human?"
Under his gaze, Elras nodded slowly.
"That's right," he said.
Su Mingan laughed: "But you didn't expect that the most ironic thing is that the most bright and righteous church knight who acted with me would be selfish and hide it from me and want to send her away."
Elras nodded.
"That's right," he said.
"So, has she ever hurt anyone?" Su Mingan asked.
"..." Elras was silent.
