Civilization Guardian Front

Followed by a high-ranking priest wearing a gold-rimmed robe with a white background and holding a ceremonial staff and spear.

They recited the magnificent stories of the gods long ago, and raised their sticks and spears in unison, pointing at Chios and Sharon.

【Great Recovery】

Twelve golden lights overlapped, spiraling upwards to create a sun-like dazzling light.

Warm energy enveloped the two of them, instantly healing all injuries and dispelling the fatigue caused by the battle.

Immediately after...

The expensive Tire purple carpet rolled into view from the shadow behind the gate, and continued to spread forward.

It stopped just in front of the toes of the two knights who were farthest away.

no more, no less.

(This scene must be rehearsed at least dozens of times...)

Chios estimated in his heart and looked into the north gate.

The archbishop's figure slowly appeared in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Bright silver hair with lavender streamers, bright eyes reflecting seven kinds of prismatic colors, captivating the beauty of all sentient beings, and a hint of arrogance hidden in a gentle and soft expression...

Once you take a look, it's hard to look away.

At this moment, Chios finally understood why his superiors sent him here.

This woman is very similar to him.

It does not refer to the appearance, but the similarity in demeanor and temperament.

With bottomless ambitions, he will never be satisfied with the status quo, and will do his best to move towards a higher throne of heaven...

Looking at the woman in front of me is like looking at a mirror image.

Familiar, cordial, yearning...

He even couldn't help but have the idea of ​​wanting to possess the other party and destroying him completely.

Emotions that are clearly contradictory are integrated together without conflict.

It sounds a bit weird at first glance.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not completely unreasonable.

There is nothing a person loves more than himself.

At the same time, the most unbearable thing for a person is precisely the appearance of another self in the world.

Chios is a rather narcissistic person.

It should be said that most talented characters have a heavy narcissistic plot.

It is precisely because we are unwilling to fall behind others and affirm our self-worth that we strive to improve and become even better.

But it was this kind of mentality that made him have an unprecedented twisted desire for the archbishop he had never met.

He didn't know if the woman in front of him had the same idea.

but mostly yes...

"If you can't get it, you will perish"

Chapter 890: Ring Finger Disturbance

"Two contestants, please step forward."

A familiar voice came to his ears, and Chios looked away from Guinea.

As the head of the Templar Knights, Alice, who was well-deserved as the representative of the military officer of Aureas, appeared on this occasion, which is not surprising at all.

Chios should have expected it.

However, when he saw the archbishop up close, the conflicting emotions in his heart took all his attention and caused him to ignore the matter.

Now, things are clearly not looking good.

The abnormal performance of her eyes lingering on the archbishop for a long time certainly did not escape Alice's eyes.

Misunderstood in his heart, Chios looked at Alice.

The chief knight looked unexpectedly calm.

It should be said that the calmness is too much, but it gives people a subtle sense of dissonance.

In addition to avoiding staring at each other, looking into the empty space, the cold eyes...

You're sulking.

He was warned only this morning to be careful of the archbishop, but in the end, his behavior seemed to ignore the other party's advice.

Gee...

Chios felt a little headache.

How should it be explained later?

I can't tell the other party truthfully that he sees another self in the archbishop, and because of the narcissistic plot projection, he has a strange feeling...

But half-baked lies are also hard to cover.

Just don't explain it.

Sometimes inaction is better than bad decisions.

Thinking of this, Chios and Sharon stepped onto the purple carpet together.

Just as they passed the third group of high-ranking priests standing on the left and right, five steps away from the archbishop, the chief knight spoke again:

"Stop."

"The runner-up goes out, step forward to lead..."

"No need." Guinea raised her hand to stop it.

She took the initiative to walk towards the two contestants.

Seeing this, the audience in the stands suddenly became commotion.

"Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the convention..."

On the archbishop's left, an old man wearing an exquisitely embroidered priesthood robe whispered a reminder.

"Indeed, it doesn't match, but the excitement of this final is also extraordinary. I think it is necessary to make an exception." Gui Nila turned her head and looked at the elderly man beside her.

The eyes that reflected the prismatic color narrowed slightly.

"Do you have any dissatisfaction with my decision, Cardinal Castile?"

"No...no, according to your holy will."

The cardinal, whose face suddenly turned pale, quickly lowered his head and replied respectfully.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Gui Nila drew a smile on the corner of her mouth and moved on.

Soon, she came to Chios and Sharon.

"You two warriors from the northern country, you performed extremely well today. I can say without hesitation that this is the highest level of finals I have ever seen. It is a pity that I cannot award two laurels at the same time.. ..."

The archbishop's eyes fell between the two as he spoke.

But Chios knew very well that the opponent's attention was always on him.

That obsession that was comparable to killing intent and penetrated into the skin of the body could never be an illusion.

After the other party handed out the silver epaulets, amethyst ring, and gold coin box to Sharon, and turned to face him, this feeling became even stronger.

"Chios Pesheim."

"Yes." Chios took a step in accordance with the etiquette, clasped his right fist on his left chest, and knelt half-kneeling in front of the opponent.

As if walking toward a flame.

The closer you get, the hotter you feel.

"Your Majesty." Cardinal Castile held the gold laurel crown engraved with the champion's name and handed it to Guinila.

After the archbishop reached out to take it, he bent down to put the crown on the youth.

"Rise up, my champion."

Guinea helped Chios up.

Then, put an ancient ring inlaid with emeralds on Chios's left ring finger.

"what!"

"Alice, what's the matter?"

Guinea asked Alice.

"No, nothing..." Alice looked away unnaturally.

The hand on the hilt of the sword was quietly clenched.

"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty."

"It's fine."

Gui Nila turned around and handed the carved wooden box full of gold coins to Chios.

"Although I really want to talk to you a few more words, let's save the interesting topic for tomorrow."

"In the cathedral, I have plenty of time."

...

The setting sun sank into the edge of the field of vision, and the sky darkened accordingly.

People who walked out of the arena one after another, rushed back to the city along the main road with oil lampposts before the time when the bell rang at ten o'clock in the evening and the city gate closed.

The camp where the contestants were temporarily stationed held a party just like last night.

Due to the affirmation of the archbishop for this year's event, the specifications of the Gouhuo Gala tonight are different from those of the past. Not only the quality of ingredients and drinks have been improved several levels, but the number of bands and dancers performing has also doubled.

However, it is a pity that neither of the two champions and runners-up attended this feast specially prepared for them.

In the basement preparation room, Chios, who left the arena a little late after listening to the clergy's instructions on many matters related to the official audience tomorrow, was immediately besieged as soon as he returned to the tent.

"Teacher, you seem very happy."

"No, I don't have a smile on my face at all..."

Chios shrugged and replied.

He set off after being mentally prepared, and had already expected such an outburst.

"Then may I ask..." Lyfa continued to ask:

"Why do you still have that ring on your finger?"

nonsense.

Anyway, if you take it off, you will say it is a guilty conscience, so why bother...

When women and men quarrel, most of the words are in their favor, or what meets their needs, so they don't care about the so-called reason.

The point is not to pay attention to the content of their accusations, but to be patient and wait for the other party to vent their emotions.

Admitting mistakes is the last move when you are forced to have nothing to say and when you are in a desperate situation.

As long as there is still a way to go, you must not make such stupid behaviors.

Otherwise, from now on, women will always hold this handle and use it as a treasured sword, and wield it if they have nothing to do, to seize the right to speak.

"[Green flower ring] is my championship prize. Wearing it can greatly enhance the speed of my physical recovery. It is also very light in weight and has no effect on my daily activities. Is there any reason to put it away?"

"But you wear it on your left ring finger..."

"Well, according to our general perception, this should be the place to wear a wedding ring." Chios responded calmly.

"It's just that this ring is not a wedding ring."

First, use a calm statement to express the controversial points clearly.
