Chapter 15 Returning Again

A week passed quickly. During this week, Richard's body was drained every day. He ate kidneys with tears in his eyes for three meals a day, and continued to be drained after eating. Finally, on the seventh day, the Solar Furnace was fully charged.

During this period, human troops began to attack here in waves. Except for one time when they were beaten badly by a half-elf named Primatis, the other attacks were stress-free. After receiving the death order, Zonoz began to attack frantically. In six days, he occupied the entire territory of the three demon kingdoms and captured countless prisoners. Zonoz led the carefully selected prisoners back, while the others were doing various labors on the spot.

"Now the saint has escaped from the church and is probably at this location. I have sent a small team to protect her secretly."

In the room, Richard drank tonic and watched Vashj pointing on the map.

"I guess she saw something she shouldn't have seen, otherwise how could a saint be hunted by the church."

"Yes, master, the surveillance technology showed me everything the saint went through. After the saint escaped, she went straight back to the city where the church was located, but was forbidden to enter by the guards..." "

Oh? The saint was not allowed to enter either?"

"Yes, the guards said it was the order of the bishop. The saint used the tunnel she had discovered before to sneak into the church. In the church's tunnel, she saw the church's top leaders cruelly abusing demon women, and discovered a secret we didn't know..."

"Wait a minute, tell me in detail about the top leaders."

"Wow, it turns out that the people in the city know how to have fun. They are really amazing, Vashj, go on."

"Yes, Master. The purpose of the church's people capturing demons is to seize their hearts. Demons can absorb the magic power between heaven and earth and store it in their hearts, forming a small crystal called a 'magic core'. Humans can use this crystal to create various artificial products, and then use these artificial products to destroy the demons."

"Tsk, it's really a good deal. We also need to conduct research on this, but the crystal core cannot be taken from living bodies. Take it from the demons who died in battle. Anyway, they are dead, so it's better to make use of the waste."

"Yes, Master. After the Saint saw these secrets, she was discovered by the Bishop and taken to the church. The Bishop tried to assassinate the Saint but failed. After the Saint escaped, the Bishop stabbed himself and claimed that it was the Saint who did it. He began to hunt for the Saint. The Saint temporarily escaped the hunt with the help of the seriously ill Pope."

At this point, Vashj looked up at Richard and said with a smile, "The Pope revealed her identity to Selena. She is the former Demon King. The daughter of Zanfad and the human princess Muse, the two also gave birth to a daughter, and that daughter is the demon queen Lucina who was captured by us. This demon king and the princess signed a coexistence treaty together, but when peace was about to come, both of them were killed...

Richard said: "It's simple, because these two people destroyed the interests of certain people, they would naturally be killed, but I didn't expect that the saint actually has demon blood."

"Yes, master. But it seems that the Pope doesn't care about these, and he let the saint escape from his own secret passage."

Richard suddenly thought of a paladin who abandoned racial prejudice, and said: "Because this pope is a true clergyman, without any prejudice or hatred. "

"Unfortunately, the clergyman was killed by the bishop, and the crime was pinned on the saint. Now the human kingdom is looking for the saint."

"Oh? That means the saint can't go anywhere else except here with us?"

"Yes, master. She only has us to rely on."

Richard's eyes became sharp: "Then she can't leave again this time."

A few days later, Selena, who escaped back, was brought to Vashj.

Vashj looked at her coldly and said, "You still have the face to come back!"

Selena said, "Can you take me to see Richard?"

Vashj seemed very angry: "To see the master? You have broken the master's heart! The master will not see you! "

Selena said anxiously, "I need your help now. The whole continent is looking for me. Only you can help you."

Vashj calmed down and said, "But why should we help you."

Selena choked. Selena thought anxiously in her heart: Yes, they don't need to help me, but can we let the church go on like this? It's a small matter if my reputation is tarnished, but it would be terrible if the truth of history is buried forever. What should I do?

Vashj saw her twisted little face and said slowly, "It's not impossible to help you."

Selena widened her eyes and listened carefully.

"We have always advocated equal exchange. If you can pay enough, we will help you. "

Selena thought carefully about what she owned, but tragically found that she had nothing.

Vashj smiled and said, "You have something we need."

"What?"

"Yourself."

"Ah!"

Selena's cheeks suddenly turned red, obviously thinking of something unspeakable.

Vashj didn't understand, and continued, "If you join us and become a part of our army, I can persuade the master to help you."

Selena thought for a moment and said, "I promise you."

Vashj was surprised and asked, "So soon?"

"Yes, by joining you, I can also contribute my own strength, so that the truth can return to the world as soon as possible. "

"Then what about your beliefs? ”

“Even when I am with you, I can believe in all gods…”

Vashj interrupted her: “No, I have my own belief in our army, and that is to believe in our God, Richard.”

“How can this be? I will not give up my belief.”

Vashj looked at her strangely and said, “Who said that a person can only have one belief? You can believe in our master while believing in Thalia.”

Selena shook her head and said, “How can this be!”

Vashj said sternly: “No doesn’t mean it can’t be done. We have a common belief, so we can trust each other. Your belief is different from ours. How do you think we can trust you, especially…”

Vashj’s voice suddenly became cold: “You escaped from here not long ago and broke the master’s heart.”

Selena had no choice but to say, “Then… I’ll try.” ”

Vashj calmed down and said, "Since you agreed, I will go and tell the master about this now."

Vashj looked at her and asked, "Anything else?"

Selena said hesitantly, "Lucina is my biological sister. She is still in prison. Can you let her out too?"
