The surprised look flashed from manigott's eyes. The golden saint of cancer instantly recovered his ordinary cynical expression, as if nothing had happened just now, and TIA told the handed down myths unknowingly.
Edward and Alphonse brothers listened with interest at the beginning, but soon Edward, who was more mature, soon noticed the content of the fairy tale. It seemed that he had reflected on a familiar person. Then, with the advancement of TIA's story, Xiaodou's face was covered with cold sweat.
"That evil dragon doesn't mean Lord Yalin \ nhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"What?"
Alfonsi asked casually. Before the maid TIA came back, Edward had covered his brother's mouth: "ha ha ha ~ nothing! Al just said the story of the evil dragon. I seem to have heard it before."
"Oh, really ~ eh!?" TIA smiled shyly and suddenly asked, "Mr. Edward, why are you sweating so much on your face?"
"Sweat! Ah, it's too hot ~ ha ha ~" Edward smiled awkwardly and magically took out a handkerchief and wiped his face.
It's too hot? The maid turned and looked out of the window. Small snowflakes in the sky mixed with the cold wind were falling innocently.
Manigott looked at the two brothers and smiled brightly. Sometimes manigott really felt that the two brothers were a pair of happy treasures. As long as he was with them, he would always make people laugh inadvertently. Suddenly manigott put away his smile and looked at the corridor on the second floor. A woman in a priest's robe was watching her party slowly coming here. Manigott narrowed his eyes and soon remembered the identity of the priestess. The priestess Elena, who presided over the master of ceremonies at the duel between Princess rogean and silvado.
"Hello, priest Elena." TIA quickly saluted.
"There's no need to be polite here. Let me show these three visitors around."
Elena's words surprised TIA. The priest with the highest position in charge of the snow goddess Temple of the whole Saxony Kingdom took the initiative to receive three visitors. However, to her surprise, TIA still showed a smiling face to the two brothers and stood aside.
Edward looked at Elena and felt familiar, but he couldn't remember for a moment. After all, Xiaodou was busy watching the duel and didn't care much about other things: "you \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
"The big sister in charge of hosting in the arena."
Alfonsi, who was a little like a child, reacted for the first time. Elena looked at Alfonsi, who was "tall". The priestess had some doubts in her heart. The tall Knight looked like a minor child, and from the conversation between them just now, they were still two brothers.
Priestess Elena didn't think too much about these things, but made an invitation gesture to manigott: "can you three come up and 'visit'?"
Although manigott was somewhat careless, he still heard the implication of Elena's words. Although he didn't know what the priest who should be quite noble meant, manigott still didn't refuse the other party's invitation, especially a beautiful lady. Soon, the two brothers were dragged to the second floor by manigott. Priestess Elena really didn't plan to take the three to visit. She just led the three into a quiet reception room. The layout of the room was simple and beautiful. The most conspicuous thing was the statue of the goddess of ice and snow, Three hot drinks and some snacks have been placed on the central round table in advance.
"Please sit down." Elena waved.
Manigott sat down impolitely. Unlike the two brothers, he was not nervous. He shook and looked at the hot drink in the cup. After making sure that there were no ingredients that should not be added, manigott smiled and drank directly. The hot drink is a kind of fruit juice mixed with milk with strange taste, After drinking the middle of the stomach, a warm flu rises all over the body, which dissipates the cold all over the body, making people feel comfortable.
When Edward saw manigott drink, he finally took a reassuring sip, but Alfonsi in armor could only look at the cup in front of him.
"I wonder if this drink is to your taste." The priestess Elena asked after taking a sip from her glass.
"It tastes good. It's really comfortable to drink something hot in cold weather." Manigott looked very casual, as if he were in his own home. He picked up a small snack on the plate and threw it into his mouth: "but I'm sorry, I'm not the kind of person who can speak a lot of polite words. What can I do for us? The priest lady of the goddess of ice and snow."
Speaking in front of a beautiful priestess serving the gods with such behavior, unknowingly, outsiders will probably mistake manigott, who is always cynical, for a vulgar Street priest. However, the priestess Elena, who was always very serious on weekdays, showed no sign of anger at all, but calmly observed the three people.
"In fact, I should apologize. I was paying attention to your situation when you first entered the temple." Elena stood up and apologized slightly: "please forgive me. For a visitor with the smell of death, it will cause us some vigilance anyway."
"The breath of the dead? Ha ~ I don't understand what you're talking about. At least I think I should be alive now."
"Indeed! It's really puzzling. As a living person, your body contains the power of the dead, as if standing at the junction of life and death. Ordinary people can't feel it even if they are not too high-level magicians."
"Interesting ~ how did you see it?"
Manigott didn't intend to hide it, but he was a little surprised. In such a long time from the town of belika to the king of Saxony Kingdom, in addition to the three undead he met before, someone felt the smell of death on his body for the first time.
"This is the temple of the goddess of ice and snow. No one can deceive the eyes of the gods."
"The eyes of the gods? Hehe ~ the so-called magic, isn't it?" Manigott's eyes narrowed.
Elena did not directly answer this question: "I have been observing you since the moment you first entered the temple. Although your body has the smell of death, it has no malice. Along the way, TIA took you to visit the temple. You and your other two little brothers reveal pure souls."
"I thought the goddess of ice and snow rejected death."
"Although death is a taboo word in the eyes of secular people, birth and death are one and two sides. There is creation, there is destruction, there is light, there is darkness, and there is good and there is evil. Even if people hate death, death will come one day, and the alternation of life and death is the biggest law in the world. Therefore, the five supreme gods do not regard death as a filthy thing, do they For all the creatures in the world, death is just a new beginning. "
After that, Elena turned her eyes to Alphonse: "and this little brother, what you exude is not the breath of the dead, but a very pure soul power. If I'm not wrong, you shouldn't have * *?"
This time it was Edward's turn and Alfons's two brothers were surprised. Edward couldn't care about the occasion. He stood up excitedly and asked loudly, "can you see Alfonso's state?"
"It seems that my guess is right. The little brother named al should just use some power to inject his soul into the armor, just like the undead creature 'undead armor', but your soul is completely amazing, just like a living person. It's not like being bound by people after death. Your soul is fixed on the armor. You should be trapped by people when you are still alive Forcibly stripped off the whole soul and fixed it on this armor? "
"No, that's right!" Edward's heart is extremely excited at the moment. In this wonderful and different world, human beings have a very clear understanding and understanding of the soul, rather than the state of being unable to recognize. Maybe there is a way to completely recover themselves and Alfred: "in fact, I've been looking for a way to recover my brother Alfred."
"It seems that you are really a good brother, but I want to ask one thing. Who stripped your brother's soul so cruelly?"
Elena's expression became more serious with her tone. Recently, Shengdu has received a lot of news that some undead on the island of the dead in esolos have begun to set foot on the mainland. Not long ago, belika town in the border zone also sent a message to King Saxony. Three undead mages entered the town and killed several townspeople and mages, Fortunately, the actions of these necromancers were seen through and destroyed by some adventurers and magicians. Now belika town has strengthened its vigilance. These news can be used to judge which blasphemers who should have been expelled from the mainland are ready to move. It seems that they want to take advantage of the unstable situation on the mainland to rob by fire.
And now there is an innocent victim who has been transformed into 'ghost armor'.
Obviously, the child named Alphonse in front of him should have been forcibly stripped of his soul by a necromancer and transformed into "necromancer armor". The degree to which his soul is almost completely stripped and fixed on the armor shows that the strength of the necromancer is absolutely not low, The most important thing is that whether the undead army is strong or not is related to the strength of the souls injected into it before death and the degree of integrity after death. If the undead mage is allowed to master the method of completely stripping the souls of the living and completely controlling them, the strength of the undead Army on the island of azolos undead will increase exponentially, If it is not put out in time, it will be a terrible threat.
Edward and Alfonsi immediately looked up, and the two brothers stared at each other. They didn't know what to say for a moment.
"In fact," Edward finally said, "it's me who made al like this."
"What! You made your brother like this?" Priestess Elena was surprised. The boy in front of her looked just a 15-year-old child. How could he peel off a person's soul from his body alive.
