For them, I believe in superior firepower

Chapter 18 Announced lover status
To be honest, if the two cardinals confront each other within the Holy Cult, although there is a real chance that the flag will die down, it is more likely that the king will see the king, and both will be hurt.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Oliveira's problem is to secretly change the concept.

Of course, this was Shane's idea.

As for Meric... Facing her beautiful and majestic appearance, the interrogating knight's mind went blank for a moment, only the thought of kneeling on one knee was left, "I'm humble, I pay my respects to Your Excellency Cardinal Oliveira!"

"Okay, Meric, I didn't take off the mask to make you kneel." Oliveira felt helpless, and glanced at Xia En next to him.

Xia En understood, and stepped forward to stand up Meric directly.

With such a small episode, Meric managed to calm down, "Your Excellency, you..."

"Let's call me the saint, it's been three years, do I care about these people, Meric, don't you know?" Oliveira sighed, "Answer my question just now."

"Just now..." Meric thought about it for a while, and said with some uncertainty, "You asked me if there was still danger... But I remember that when you left the capital, there seemed to be other His Excellency the Cardinal... ...have quite a conflict with you."

"I ask you, am I dangerous?" Oliveira repeated.

"...There will be no personal danger." Meric thought about it again, and said seriously.

"That's good." Oliveira nodded, "Going back to the previous question, if I want to send you to perform missions far away, it may be very dangerous, and you may not be able to return to the kingdom for a long time... Would you like to?"

This time, Meric didn't answer immediately.

And Oliveira didn't mean to ask him to answer immediately, but just let him bow his head slightly and think.

I don't know how long it has passed, until the air seemed to freeze, Meric finally raised his head again and looked at Oliveira, "I am willing, my lady saint."

Before the saint could say anything else, he continued to say, "My lord, I am an orphan, and my nostalgia for the kingdom only stays with those who treat me well, and they..."

"If you have concerns about this, I will find a way to help you solve it." The girl replied immediately.

"That's not what you mean, Mrs. Holy Maiden." A smile appeared on the corner of Meric's mouth, "The children who are willing to surround me will be taken care of by the nuns of the monastery...I won't worry about them."

"The elders who were kind to me, they are all healthy and taken care of." Having said that, Meric scratched his head, "I will write to them every six months, and the reply I get is that they are very good... …Sorry, my lord, I never reported these things to you.”

"So you mean, there is nothing to worry about in the kingdom?"

"The only thing I'm worried about is your safety, Lady Saint." Merici's serious expression was somewhat gentle, "But since you said, I don't need to worry about your safety... Then, as long as you ask If it won’t make me violate my faith, then I’m willing to sacrifice myself for it!”

Oliveira looked at Meric silently and did not speak for a long time.

"Meliqi." Just when Meiliqi thought she was hesitating whether to entrust the task to herself, the girl suddenly said, "I don't want to hide you, and I don't want to use you... So, I will tell you the content of the mission now. "

"Yes."

"Do you know him?" Oliveira turned to look at Xia En beside him after hearing this.

"Xia En...the Sequence Nine 'sick person' you rescued from the ice field." Meric was a little puzzled, but he still replied quickly.

"Not only..." Oliveira shook his head, with a gentle smile in his eyes, "Do you know what I was doing before I became a cardinal?"

"The holy religion once preached that you and three other capable users formed an adventure team to explore the secrets of the old world in order to solve the threat from the farther north of the kingdom." Meric said standing up.

"Then do you know who those three capable people are?" Oliveira's eyes became more and more smiling, and there was already a bit of tenderness in the eyes looking at Xia En.

"I..." Meric looked at Shane and Oliveira, and suddenly got stuck.

The Holy Cult did not officially say who was traveling with her, but the legend of this adventurous team has always been popular among the people.

It is said that there are four people in the team, three of them are women, besides Oliveira, there is also a witch and a soldier.

The remaining male pharmacist is in charge of commanding the team, mediating the relationship between them, and assisting them.

I just don’t know why, three years ago, the team was disbanded suddenly, the male pharmacist suddenly disappeared, the witch and the soldier left respectively, and only Oliveira returned to the kingdom alone. ", and barely secured the position of cardinal.

However, if this is the case, then Xia En...

"You should have guessed it, Meric?" Oliveira finally chuckled, "Xia En, he was the captain of the adventure team back then...he was my captain and my lover."

"Olly..." Xia En looked at the girl in shock.

"Isn't it?" Oliveira looked at Xia En with soft eyes, threatening, not coercion, only overflowing affection.

Sean sighed, then nodded slightly.

Seeing his response, Oliveira's eyes seemed to be moistened, but it disappeared in an instant.

Seeing this scene, even if Meric felt unbelievable, he understood that everything Oliveira said was true.

If Xia En didn't have such an identity, then why would the saint treat him with such an attitude?
And why do you feel a little confused after seeing him?

Why was he so angry when he tried to escape?
"Lord Xia En, I didn't know your identity before, so please forgive me for being so rude to you." Thinking of this, Merici turned to Xia En and bowed deeply, "Although you spent more time in the northern and southern borders, but The achievements of the adventure team, even in the kingdom, are known to everyone."

"You don't need to be so polite, Meric, just call me Sean." Sean hurried forward to straighten his body, "Next, we will walk together all the way."

"Miss Saint?" Hearing these words, Meric looked at Oliveira reflexively.

"Just like what Shane said, Meric." The girl nodded lightly, "I need you, I beg you, to escort Xia En from the monastery to the location of the rebel army."

After a moment of silence, she added, "If...if you set off earlier, maybe you can catch up with the rebel squad that left last night and go with them."
