Chapter 7 Apostasy (7)
Hero Calendar 3236 Golden Month 19
"What a magnificent city, it is worthy of being the oldest human city. Compared with other human royal cities, it is not only more prosperous. There is also a kind of aura... how to say it, auspicious and harmonious atmosphere."
Walking on the wide avenue paved with bluestone slabs and watching the white city not far away with only ordinary walls, Maitarot exclaimed from his heart.
He had never been to this ancient city called the White Dragon City. He had long heard that this was a paradise without war. When he saw it today, it was as its name.
The city's architecture faithfully reflects that it has no basic defense measures, which is simply a human settlement without military facilities.
"Yes, since the day Livenyas was founded, he has not been baptized by war. It is a veritable pure land." Walking behind Maitaro was Moya, who had changed back to his original ordinary face. She was wearing a standard black priest outfit, and the eye-catching white roses on her dark robe attracted the attention of everyone around her.
The caravan and the travelers could not help but look at their five-man team.
Behind her was Sistale, who also did not hide his appearance. His silvery hair and elf appearance attracted people's attention more than Moya's double black appearance.
As for Farian's second prince Eric, he wrapped himself in a wide cloak and had never said a word since leaving Scata.
Grey also used his cloak to cover his head that would scare passersby, because the orcs had never penetrated deep into inland areas like Farian.
In order to meet his sister, he followed Moya's advice and did not show his appearance in the city to avoid unnecessary trouble.
But after arriving at Skata, he found that Sunan, who was supposed to be waiting there, had been brought back to Livenas by the Templar Knights of the Church of Light.
Without the magic dragon Luci, Moya had to change to ride a horse and took several days to get from Skata to Livenas.
"Yes, this place is indeed a real pure land compared to the kingdom of Mingsu, Jeriant, which is always full of war. But... Moya, would you be too bold to come in without hiding your identity? In any case, this place is always the territory of the Church of Light." It is impossible to say that you don't worry.
When Mataro learned that Moya planned to enter Livenas with great fanfare, he also objected, but Moya just smiled and did not adopt his suggestion.
"The enemy's base camp is sometimes the safest place. If we enter Livenas blatantly, if the Farian rulers are a little brained, they will not do anything unfavorable to us. On the contrary, they will have to work hard to protect me, the priest of the hostile force. If something happens to me here, the night elves will have excuses and reasons to attack this kingdom, which is claimed to be without war."
"So that's what you planned..." After hearing Moya's explanation, Maitaro woke up.
The purpose of visiting Farian directly as a high priest is to test what kind of response the Church of Light will make.
If you attack easily, it will give the night elves a reason to send troops.
And if Moya is allowed to walk around the city, wouldn’t the face of the Light Church certainly be gone before its believers?
There must be some other purpose in entering Livingas like this, otherwise she would not have done such an act of going deep into the enemy's base camp.
If she came to Livenyas just to become an enemy and a friend with Prince Mingsu, according to Moya's personality, she would definitely be careful. What is the reason that makes her so persistent?
She was so sure that Farian, a neutral country, would not turn to the Church of Light to deal with her, the evil priest, the dark clan in the eyes of humans?
Mataro was full of questions about Moya's actions this time.
"Don't worry, old friend, I've arranged everything. I've made arrangements long before I entered Livenyas. Don't worry, I won't do anything randomly." Seeing Maitaro's concern, Moya's mouth still had the confident smile that had been on her face since she left Bambsua.

"Did you see..."
"It's not wrong...it's her"
"Report to the captain!!"
From afar, seeing the unlucky black in the crowd, the Holy Dragon Knights guarding the city gate sent a warning signal.
The dull warning horn echoed in the city for a long time, which surprised the people of Levinas who were accustomed to peace and the merchants entering and leaving the city.
This horn symbolizing danger has never sounded except for the Lizardman who went crazy for some unknown reason. At least for a hundred years, the horn hanging on the city gate has fulfilled its duty of alerting.
"Blow, blow the trumpet?"
The old people who had lived in the city for decades looked at the huge horn hanging on the main city gate in surprise. The warning that the danger was coming echoed over and over again over the city, awakening many people who were still immersed in naps.
"Come?"
"Yes, Lord Andro." Samian, the captain of the guard cavalry, looked at Andro, who had been dressed in an already well-dressed manner, and could only report it truthfully.
"Line in line and welcome this guest who is coming from afar with the highest etiquette."
"But...you, why do you want..."
"Samian... Although she is an enemy camp with us, she is the highest priest of the clan and the earthly spokesperson of the Lord God. I have sent an emergency message to His Majesty the Emperor. No matter what her purpose is, we can only face it calmly." Wearing formal clothes and holding the sun authority that symbolizes life, Andro walked out of his dormitory in the inner courtyard of the church with a calm and calm expression and personally welcomed the dark messenger who did not know what fate would bring to this ancient city.
"Look, the Holy Dragon Knights of the Church..."
"Oh my God, they actually lined up!!"
"Even the great prince returned to the city, he had never enjoyed the honor of being greeted by the Knights in person. What kind of big shot is Livenas?"
People on the street saw that the church's Holy Dragon Knights were all replaced with their most formal wear - the combat-reading holy dragon armor.
The ornate white silk robe, with blue stripes as its edges, was engraved with three-color badges with red, white and black dragons on the golden armor shining in the sun, a scarlet cloak, a blessed holy sword, a red earth dragon covered with scales, and a flag embroidered with a golden sun badge.
The welcome team of thousands of people was isolated from the noisy crowd of people, the solemn and tense atmosphere made the onlookers feel curious.
Who is the person who will receive such a grand welcome from the Church of Light?
"God envoy, why did you come out in person?"
When the Grand Secretary Victorian heard the sound of the horn, he was taking a nap, and hurried out and saw the God of the Light Church holding authority walking towards the main city gate accompanied by two guard captains.
"The high priest of the night elves is already in Linlivenas. As the highest priest of the Church of Light in this city, I have no reason to stay in my bedroom."
"But your injury has not healed yet..." Victorian wanted to say something, and the noise from the city gate interrupted his next words.
"The Dark Clan!!!"
"The target of the Light Church is the Dark Clan?!"
In people's surprised eyes, the flag bearer raised the church flag in his hand, and the trumpet blower blew the trumpet horn in his hand.
When the woman with deep hair and deep eyes as deep as the night came into her eyes, people's discussion became even more intense.
"Ri'an, God of Andro. May the moon and the night God bless you." Moya folded his hands on his chest and bowed slightly. When she did this action, the crucifixion ring worn on her left hand and the curse authority held between her right hand made a slight low cry, which made Andro, who was standing opposite her, frown slightly.
"Ri'an, High Priest Moya. May the goddess of light and life forgive you." After the same ritual, Andro's authority on life held also responded, but the flash of light did not change the night priest.
Seeing that the other party had no reaction to his blessings in life, Andro's worries couldn't help but deepened.
Looking at the tall figure wearing mitral armor next to the Dark Night Priest, Andro sighed; "Former Paladin Sistall Wenyin, it's time to return the ring in your hand."
"Oh, it would be a bit too much for God's envoy to make such a request for guests from afar."
"The goddess's love was originally a holy object of my church of light. Since he had given up his glorious identity and was willing to fall into a lackey of the dark clan, then I could only travel to the teachings of His Majesty the Emperor and take back the artifact that only the Paladin and the Emperor could wear."
"Haha... the goddess's love can be put aside for the time being. I travel thousands of miles to Livenyas this time. The Lord is to fulfill my promise to my new allies." Eric, who had been standing behind him, pulled out Eric, and Moya pointed his sarcastic gaze at Victorian, the Grand Master standing behind Andro.
"New ally? Prince Mingsu? Unfortunately, I have to tell you, the high priest, Prince Mingsu has given up his alliance with you. The Church of Light will help him rebuild the kingdom and adjust the disputes on the border. You are probably going to have a waste of time this time." After many consultations with Willen, Andro finally convinced the prince who had some problems to give up his plan to form an alliance with the Dark Clan. As long as there is no such reason, you should be able to drive the Dark Night High Priest who came with ambition back to the north.
"Mingsu? That's a pity. I originally planned to discuss with Prince Willen about how to resolve the border issue. After all, as long as an alliance is formed, Onitro, one of the Dark Night Alliances, will not make things difficult for him. Unfortunately... However, the God Envoy was wrong. In addition to having to negotiate with Mingsu, the most important thing I came here this time was to help my new allies regain what should have belonged to him."
"What?" Before Andro understood what Moya said, the young man standing in front of him suddenly took off his wide cloak, and everyone around him exclaimed.
"Prince Eric!!"
"Isn't he dead?"
"I heard that I was attacked by unidentified bandits on the way to Meili and have died..."
People were surprised to see that this young man with a sad face was actually the second prince they were familiar with, the young man with a smile on his face.
“Eric…”
"Long time no see, uncle." Looking at the shocked Grand Secretary Victorian not far away, Eric asked in his trembling voice; "Where is Prince Kuhar, where is the first prince now? Grand Secretary Victorian?"
"you……"
