Chapter 157: The Strongest Holy Warrior of the Ryan Empire
The soldier guarding the gate carefully recorded the name "Erin", wrote down what he thought was the most beautiful words with the most serious attitude in his life, and handed it to Catherine to read.
"Ms. Irene, can you check if this name is spelled wrong?"
Catherine remembered the background she had set very clearly and nodded quickly to indicate that it was okay.
"Irene, what a nice name, it suits your temperament very well. By the way, my name is Albert, Albert Orson. Although I have just joined the city defense team, I am already a third-class private and have been entrusted with an important task by the commander..."
Catherine maintained a polite smile as she listened to the soldier named Albert introduce himself. Although she felt a little embarrassed, she felt a little relieved.
Amberxiu was smart enough to come up with the excuse that he had just swallowed an undead creature and hadn't digested it completely yet. Catherine deeply felt the gap between herself and a veteran adventurer like Amberxiu. His ability to respond was really incomparable.
Albert Orson felt that today was his luckiest day because he met someone he fell in love with at first sight. The human girl in front of him was so pleasing to the eye. Maybe her facial features were not the most beautiful, but her temperament was just like the most perfect partner in his dreams.
The Lord of the Dawn must have heard his prayers and sent this angel to him.
Just as she was thinking this, a figure suddenly appeared beside her, sliding down on his knees at a rapid speed. His iron knees slid on the ground for a distance and stopped right in front of Catherine.
"Oh, beautiful lady, you are the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen in my life. Maybe you think I am a little abrupt, but every word I say comes from the heart. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am..."
Albert angrily kicked the guy away and roared, "Go back to your post, Omos!"
The young man called Omos was not moved at all. With the shoe prints on his face, he continued to say to Catherine: "I am sincere. I can swear to the Lord of the Dawn that I will do everything I can to make you happy!"
This scene, why does it look so familiar?
Catherine recalled that she was surrounded by a group of orcs in the tavern before, and Amberxiu's suggestion was to beat them up.
Now, the situation seems to be similar, so can we...
Catherine clenched her fists, ready to teach these Ryan people a profound lesson based on previous experience.
But the Mercury Zombie jumped in front of Catherine and stopped the fight in time.
Amber Xiu, who was hiding inside the mercury figurine, was afraid. If Catherine took action, it would be a big trouble. This was not a tavern where adventurers gathered, so he couldn't use the same methods as adventurers.
Moreover, these Ryan people were only expressing their feelings in public, which was not a fatal crime. Catherine could just refuse, but the nature of the action would change.
However, seeing that this girl had no experience, Amberxiu could only hide in the body of the mercury spirit figurine and speak for her again.
"Young soldier, this is not a meeting arranged by the gods, but just an ordinary passing by. My master already has a fiancé in his hometown. Please let us enter the city. We have important things to do."
When Catherine heard what Amber Xiu said, she immediately remembered her own character and blurted out, "But, I was forced to marry."
Amber: ...
As soon as these words were spoken, Albert and Olmos were instantly filled with indignation.
Omos said loudly: "Holy Light, how can there be such a sinful act? Don't worry, Irene, I will definitely help you deal with this evil fiancé."
Albert saw that something was wrong and quickly said, "Yes, yes, me too. I will protect you from anyone who comes to harm me. I swear to the Holy Light!"
Amber Xiu is really impressed by this girl. Next time when he does the background setting, he must personally check it.
Catherine had to spend a long time explaining that although she didn't like her fiancé, she was not prepared to accept the pursuit of others. She wanted to use her own strength to make money to break off the engagement! Albert and Olmos didn't expect Catherine's life experience to be so "tragic", and she was so strong, so they liked her more.
But since Catherine had clearly rejected him, they couldn't continue to pester her. Ryan stipulated that it was illegal to continue pestering a man after a woman had clearly rejected his pursuit.
Albert reluctantly completed the entry procedures for Catherine, then watched her enter the city until she was completely out of sight before turning back.
Albert angrily said to his colleague: "It's all your fault, Omos! You were so reckless that you scared my Irene away. Don't you have any sense of modesty?"
Olmos said firmly, "What do you mean Irene? Did she agree to your request? It is everyone's right to pursue love. Why are you blaming me for your hesitation? Although I was rejected, I will not give up... I will be off work in half an hour. I will continue to pursue my goddess!"
"This is against the law!" Albert said angrily.
Olmos said firmly: "The other party has to file a lawsuit to be convicted. Irene is not from Ryan, she probably doesn't know this law. As long as she doesn't take it to the court, I will continue to pursue her! Even if she takes it to the court, I won't regret it!"
Catherine and Amberxiu had already entered the Sand Shadow City. Amberxiu realized that he had underestimated Catherine's influence, and hurriedly told her to wrap herself up more tightly so as not to provoke other Ryan people to confess in public.
Following the instructions of the two guys guarding the gate, the two quickly found the location of the mainland teleportation array, but what frustrated them was that they had to queue up to use the teleportation array. The expensive mainland teleportation array was usually ready for use as soon as they arrived. This thing was specially prepared for high-level officials from various countries.
But the mainland teleportation array of Sand Shadow City seemed to be very busy, with holy warriors constantly coming in and out.
Amber Xiu guessed that they encountered the defense change in Sand Shadow City.
The dwarves have completely retreated, and the war is coming to an end. A frontline city like Sand Shadow City will naturally need to be replaced after the war. The elite paladins will go to the Lion Capital to receive their rewards, and the local ordinary troops will take over the city's defense.
This was a very normal transfer, it just happened to happen to the two of them.
Catherine followed the rules and submitted an application for the continental teleportation array, but the reply she received was that she would have to wait at least six hours.
The two were helpless and could only find a tavern in the city to wait.
The tavern in the Sand Shadow City is quite different from that in the Manna City. First of all, the tavern is full of humans, with no other races. Moreover, the proportion of adventurers is very small, most of them are Lion people, either paladins who are changing shifts or believers of the Lord of Dawn. Even the bards in the bar sing hymns to the Lord of Dawn.
This place is filled with the breath of light everywhere.
Catherine felt very curious. She had never seen such a strong religious atmosphere in either the Alchemy City or the desert. Although the elves also believed in the elven gods, they did not have such a strong religious atmosphere.
The whole of Ryan seemed to be bathed in holy light at all times, and the teachings of the Lord of Dawn had been integrated into every aspect of life.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Catherine said with emotion: "If the whole territory of Ryan is filled with this kind of atmosphere, no wonder this empire is so powerful."
The proportion of holy warriors in the Ryan Empire has always been higher than normal, which is a fact that other countries on the continent find difficult to understand.
But as long as you enter Ryan and take a walk around, you will find that it is not surprising at all that they have so many holy warriors. This place can already be called the earthly kingdom of the Lord of the Dawn.
Amber Xiu whispered to Catherine: "Lian's strength is not only due to his piety, but also because their understanding and research of the power of holy light is the strongest in the continent."
The highest judge of the Ryan Empire is the new editor-in-chief of "Legendary Curse". Although Amber Xiu has a grudge against him, apart from the issue of racial discrimination, the other party's level is also enough to serve as editor-in-chief.
The Ryan people do not just recite doctrines every day. From the imitation of artifacts, it can be seen that they have never given up on academic and technological progress.
Religious lunatics are not scary. What is really scary is the self-disciplined and motivated religious lunatics.
It was precisely because the Lion Empire was thriving that Amberxiu wanted to create a body that was not restrained by the Holy Light. He was really afraid that one day he would return to the surface and find that the nine kingdoms had become Lion's territory, and he, an undead creature, would have no place to stand.
Although Catherine agreed with Amber Xiu's words, she couldn't help but say, "Although Ryan is devout, I don't feel good about this country. It's a good thing to be devout, but if everyone is a fanatical believer, the country will easily collapse. History has proven this conclusion time and time again. Ryan seems to be getting stronger and stronger, but I feel that this country will soon be in trouble."
Ambers did not comment on this.
He didn't know much about politics, so he couldn't discuss this kind of issue with Catherine. He just reminded her, "It's better not to talk about this kind of topic here. It's easy to get into trouble."
Amber Xiu just wanted to spend these few hours in peace, and then use the mainland teleportation array to go to Cuimeng Youlin.
However, the silence ended after two hours.
A paladin wearing silver-white armor and with an old face walked into the tavern.
Amberxiu only felt his soul tremble, and a strong sense of crisis came over him. This old and frail holy warrior gave him a feeling of extreme danger.
Amber Xiu's intuition told him that he could still give it a try if he met him outside the city, but if he fought him in the city, he would probably have to return to the life box to be reborn.
Who is this old man? At this time, the people in the tavern also saw the old paladin, and they all stood up and saluted, respectfully calling out his name - General Wright.
When Amber heard this title, he immediately thought of a name - Winston Wright, and he also had another more famous name - the Silver Moon Knight of the Empire.
The strongest paladin in the Ryan Empire, bar none.
There are many legends about him on the continent. Almost everyone who has heard these legends feels that it is fortunate that Winston Wright is not of royal blood. If he could have put on the magic dragon armor, there would have been only one empire left on this continent.
How could this legendary figure appear in a small place like Sand Shadow City?
Oh no, this old guy is walking towards Catherine and Amber!
