The legendary path of the abandoned half-elf

Molly said that the original four families fought against the Empire and the Federation to remain neutral, but the situation is no longer right. Why does it feel like Flynn is the only neutral family while the others have all defected to the Federation?

Hiding the horror in his heart, Lorenno saluted the beautiful blonde girl in front of him: "Miss Jackson."

"Hello," the lady named Amy greeted the maid out of politeness to Molly, then turned to talk to Molly, "My cousin, have you found out about this matter? Are the two families really colluding together? "

"Not sure yet. In my opinion, it's just a rumor. After all, no one knows that the four of us are an alliance."

Seeing that Molly didn't seem to care about the rumors, Amy also nodded in agreement: "You're right. Only when our four families unite can we have the present Cardinal City. The relationship we have built over the years cannot be broken up by one or two things."

emotion?Molly sneered in her heart, recalling the rainy night two years ago and lowering her head to restrain her fierce eyes.

The so-called feelings have been completely wiped out by betrayals again and again. I must make you pay the price...definitely!

The tormenting party for Lorenno finally ended at nine o'clock. As soon as she got into the carriage, she collapsed completely, with cold sweat streaming from her forehead. Molly was so frightened that she thought she was under a curse: "What's going on?!"

The maid was held by the eldest lady to catch her breath. She didn't even have the strength to break away and said, "There are people with sulfur smell in the three families, except you."

This sentence made the slightly smiling Molly's smile disappear, and she stretched out her hand to touch Lorenno's snow-white neck: "There are many in the Sanjiajia?"

"Amy, Tom, Jack..."

As the names were announced one by one, Molly and the others couldn't help but feel their teeth aching. She originally thought that the two families were very outrageous, but she didn't expect that except for her own family, everyone in the family was involved in the lower world. She looked at Lorenno suspiciously and said: " Really all are cultists.”

"It doesn't have to be a cultist, it could also be caused by constant exposure to items in the nether world. I can only smell sulfur."

"Is that so..."

Molly pondered for a moment: "Then tell the Temple of Endless Light about this first and let them decide when to act."

"Can this thwart the conspiracy of the three families?"

Lorenno was very confused. Molly pointed her finger on her face and said, "Of course not. You can't prove that all of them are cultists, so even if they really colluded, they would only be scapegoated and convicted."

"But the paladin can detect alignments and lies..."

"Alas, you are still very naive, Arnold. If only things were that simple," Molly hugged her tightly and said with a wry smile, "They will say that a confusion spell was cast on them, and the spell can detect is wrong."

"That prophecy..."

"They will say that someone interfered with the spell and the prophecy did not hold true."

Lorenno was silent. She understood what Molly meant. Even if the evidence was solid, they could get away with it. Even if they went to jail, they would...

Taking a deep breath, the country girl asked: "Can it be strong?"

Isn’t it the endless light? Why doesn’t His church take care of it? "

"His church members are also human beings. He does not need money, but the church does. How can the donations of common people be compared to those of nobles."

"If there is irrefutable evidence, there will be no problem for the paladin of Endless Light to kill all the members of the three major families. Nobles from other regions will not have any objections."

"But if you do this without evidence, those nobles will begin to wonder whether the Endless Light wants to get involved in their management. The impact after this will be extremely huge."

Molly showed a hint of hatred: "At least that's what Bishop Sal ​​said."

"But in fact, powerful holy warriors killed tyrants and eradicated evil spirits one after another. It's just that Bishop Sal ​​of Cardinal City does not have such courage."

As the girl listened, she felt a sense of violation about the whole thing again, but she didn't know what the problem was.

"In short, before something bad happens, the Church of Endless Light in Cardinal City will only defend and will not take any action at all. Everything depends on me. Don't worry, I will take care of everything."

It looks so much like her...

Molly hugged Lorenno, and the person she once loved appeared in front of her. She was so innocent that she wanted to protect her. No wonder her cousin asked her to come to her. She must have the same feeling...

"Arnold," Molly suddenly asked, "I want to ask you a question, if the three nobles really unite with the cult to rebel, then the city will be devastated, and you can sacrifice your life to save everyone, in which case you will do it ?"

The half-elf girl looked at her with strange eyes: "Of course not, they have nothing to do with me. I just want to do these things for the empire and use the mirror of all knowledge. How could I sacrifice my life for ignorance."

…Well, it’s still different.

Molly laughed, the love in her eyes not diminishing at all. She never regarded Lorenno as a deceased person, which was disrespectful to the two of them.

"However," Lorenno looked at Molly who seemed to be hesitating, and said after a moment, "If you are in danger, as long as it is not harmful to your life, I will save you."

A life-saving grace for a life-saving grace, Lorenno thought this was fair.

"Ah! Arnold is really cute!"

Holding the half-elf maid tightly, Molly rubbed her face against hers.

Back at the manor, Molly yawned, took off her clothes, put on pajamas and lay down on the bed, Lorenno continued to sleep on the floor, and Lenna closed the door and sat on the lounge chair at the door to keep vigil.

Less than 10 minutes later, the door was pushed open. The half-elf girl stuck her head out, raised her finger to signal silence under Lenna's gaze, and quietly closed the door.

"Sister Lenna."

"What's wrong, Arnold?"

Lenna moved to the side and motioned for Lorenno to lie down. After sitting on the recliner, she looked at the room and asked softly: "Why do I always feel that Sister Molly treats me as someone else."

"I don't think of you as her, but your personality is somewhat similar to Miss Sunny, and she has asked the same questions."

Lenna recalled it and asked, "This is a long story. Are you sure you want to listen?"

"Yeah." Lorenno nodded curiously.

"Do you know Reverend Alice's full name?"

The girl shook her head, and Lenna said: "Her full name is Alice Frayne Hope, and she and the owner are distant cousins."

"And Pastor Alice has a biological sister, who was the master's favorite person. Her name is Sunny."

At this point, Lenna became serious: "Next, you will hear about what happened in Cardinal City two years ago and was forcibly covered up. Please listen carefully."

Chapter 29 Strange Feelings

"Sunny Hope is one of the dazzling geniuses in the Temple of Endless Light. She was once predicted to be promoted to Legend, but she was promoted normally with steady progress. She was already an 18th-level high-level paladin at the time of the incident. The three of them were childhood friends. , basically grew up together, and the master has a dependence mentality because he was saved by His Highness Sunny when he was a child." Lenna explained the relationship between the three of them.

"On the day of the incident, Cardinal City was in chaos. The Empire and the Federation were in a cold war, and Cardinal City was implicated. Cults were prevalent, human trafficking was serious, and the four major families began to attack each other. The entire city was like a powder keg ready to explode. .”

"Just like now?"

"Yes, just like now. The most important thing is that there is the conspiracy of the devil Bayer behind this. He wants to eat the soul of the entire Cardinal City."

Lorenno listened carefully and recalled the information about the Devil's Grand Duke Bayer. He was the Grand Duke of Avernus, the first level of the Nine Hells. He rose to power by betraying the former Grand Duke and was good at using intrigues.

"No one knows how it happened. A door to hell opened in the slums. Lemurs and many devils appeared there. Your Highness Sunny set out urgently to go there, but it was completely a trap, a trap aimed at her," Lenna recalled, "After killing the lemures and devils, the mastermind behind the scenes appeared. Bayer sent the avatar to come in person, trying to kill Sunny and steal her soul."

"Is her soul special?"

Lenna said seriously: "It's not that special. The Hope family are the descendants of Lathander, the Lord of the Dawn, the predecessor of Endless Light."

"Are you the Son of Dawn?" Lorenno was extremely surprised. He didn't expect Alice's background to be so big.

"How can it be that powerful?" Lenna shook her head. "The bloodline has degraded from generation to generation. The Hope family has long been no longer as connected as before.

The Son of Dawn is not even considered, but Her Royal Highness Sunny is the most special. Because of her extremely high concentration of atavistic blood, she has the opportunity to get close to the Son of Dawn. "

The maid looked sad: "It's a pity that she sacrificed herself to kill Bayer's incarnation in that battle, and even the 9-ring divine spell [Complete Resurrection] couldn't save her."

"The incarnation of a high-level killer of the Devil?"

Lorenno couldn't imagine that situation. Lenna nodded and said, "Many civilians and paladins who went to support saw that scene. At that time, the light of the temple was inspired by that side."

The maid pursed her lips and looked towards the bedroom: "After the battle, His Royal Highness Sunny died. When the master was searching for the culprit, he found that juniors from three major families were involved. She had gone... a little crazy and gathered a group of people without anyone knowing. The paladin rushed directly into the gathering place and killed them all, cutting off their limbs with his own hands and letting them bleed to death. This is also the origin of the nickname "Red Viper". After that, the master began to try to expand the Flann family. Influence, no matter how much blood is under your hands.”

"Then the temple and the Hope family didn't pursue it?"

"How should we investigate the death of all those involved? After all, the three major families in Cardinal City still have their own background."

The sense of dissonance comes again...

Lorenno touched the center of her eyebrows. With the memory of a time traveler, she always felt that something was wrong, but she could not accurately grasp the flash of inspiration in her mind. As long as she had a little more information, she could connect everything together.

Alice, Molly, Sunny, Gounod Holly, Couch Holly...

The conflict between the four major families, the indifference of the Temple and the Hope family to Sunny's death, the conflict between the Empire and the Federation, Molly's hatred for Thrall...

The cult incident two years ago, and today, two years later, the cultists are once again ready to take action...

Everything and coincidences that happened after she came here, the fat businessman Lawrence was hunted down, and she got the news...

"Then I'll go back to bed first, thank you Sister Lenna."

Lorenno, who still couldn't figure it out, thanked the maid and went back to the bedroom to lie down. He didn't dwell on these old things that had nothing to do with her. He felt relieved knowing that Molly didn't regard her as another person.

------------------------------------

Early in the morning, the sound of gold and iron echoed on the training ground of the manor, as Lorenno and Lenna were sparring.

"You're too slow."

The half-elf girl changed back into close-fitting clothes suitable for fighting and brandished her swords to attack the head maid. Lenna only defended but did not attack. Faced with Lorenno's swordsmanship that specialized in the lower three paths, she could block it with a small dagger every time. , as a wooden stake to help the girl train her skills.

"It's Sister Lenna, you are too fast."

Lorenno was very speechless. You are a high-level assassin and you are still proud of beating a level 2 ranger. He kept moving his hands and slapped the maid with his swords like rattan. It gradually became rhythmic, and the gap between each move shortened. As he entered, In a state of concentration, the half-elf girl's eyes began to solidify, and Lenna was the only pupil.

Seeing this, Lenna wanted to test Lorenno's reaction to the outside world in this state. She kicked up a stone with her feet and went straight to Lorenno's lower abdomen. It was very painful to be hit, but the half-elf girl turned sideways and dodged. The movements of her hands There was no sense of stagnation at all, and she became more and more proficient in using long swords and dual weapons to attack. When the attacks became more fierce, the girl suddenly fell to the ground and gasped for air.

"Ha~~ha~~..."

Putting away the dagger, Lenna commented to Lorenno: "You are exhausted. Arnold, your state just now is suitable for single combat but not suitable for group combat."

The half-elf girl enters a "zone" state similar to that of an athlete. She can easily concentrate on one thing. At that time, except for the things in front of her, she relies on perception and physical instinct to react. If she is an assassin or a shooter type ranger, naturally It's good, but has pros and cons for melee rangers.

"Well, I see."

Lorenno lay on the ground to recover her physical strength. The specialty [Long Sword Specialization] has appeared, and [Determine the old enemy (human)] is still a little short of. She clicked [Advanced Long Sword Specialization] and stood up to stare at Lenna without attacking. Instead, focus on the weaknesses.

"But it's very suitable for training." Lenna felt the sting caused by the gaze, and started to move carefully, constantly adjusting her defensive posture so that the half-elf girl could observe the weakness in multiple directions.

"Maid maid, Mistress Molly asked you to come over. A guest is here."

When Lorenno was getting ready to go, the maid's voice came from outside the training ground. Lenna put down her arm and said, "Arnaud, you go take a shower first."

"Ok."

The half-elf girl put away her sword, wiped the sweat off her head and walked to the bathroom. When passing by the corridor, she saw two guests wearing black robes, so she turned and walked to another path. One of them seemed to be feeling something and looked over. Surprised: "Oh——"

"what happened?"

"It's the kid we met in the arena."

Chapter 30 Imperial Envoy

Molly sat in the garden and felt the warmth of the sun. Her guests were led by the maid to approach her and sat in front of her unceremoniously. One of them said: "Miss Viper, when are you going to take action? You must know that we are not the same as the one above us." I said I would definitely bring back victory."

"Don't worry, my lovely cat lady," Molly put down the tea cup and leaned forward to give them pressure, "I need them to take the initiative. You are not the only one who has made an agreement with me, there are many people staring at these three families. Since the one who trusts me gives

You should fully trust me in my authority for this action, right? "

Lifting her smooth calves from the black robe, the girl known as Miss Cat crossed her legs and said, "Okay, okay, do you need any help this time?"

Molly didn't care about her rude behavior and stirred the tea with a spoon: "I got intelligence that someone is going to break into the manor. I asked you to come here just in case."

"Molly Flaine, you should not have been exposed." The man in black robes who had been silent next to him said.

"Miss Mage, the ones who broke into the manor were the Eyeless Church. They came mainly for the child named Lorenno."

Molly explained the reason, and the mage nodded and said: "I see, the person who lit the gunpowder is here with you. She must be the gray-haired maid I saw on the road. I didn't expect the blind man to not tell anyone else."

"She is the dwarf in the arena, tsk tsk, she is really pitiful, being chased by so many people." It seemed that the cat with ADHD had climbed up the tree and looked down at the two of them.

"The reason they wanted to hunt down Lorenno was very simple. They just wanted to get her eyes, so they didn't hesitate to offend everyone. After all, it was their god's order."

her eyes?

The mage recalled attentively that he didn't care about a gladiator's eyes at first and didn't recall anything special. At this time, Lorenno changed into a maid's costume and reluctantly walked out. Hearing the sound in the manor, he looked up and let The two of them saw their emerald eyes.

"Hello, guests."

Lorenno didn't hear a response for a long time after saluting. Molly smiled and said: "Arnold, come here, they are just surprised."

"Little guy, are you a half-elf? Which clan do you belong to?"

Before she could get close to Molly, the Catwoman on the tree hung down and was face to face with the girl, showing a curious expression. Lorenno was so frightened by the dark inside of the hood that he jumped back and almost made a move: "What tribe? I have been raised by my parents since I was a child. Lost it."

"Well, the Elf Royal Family will indeed do such immoral things, but since another family has the opportunity to do such a thing with the Elf Royal Family to support you, it shouldn't be a bad thing..."

Catwoman muttered and was dragged back by the mage. The mage pointed at her head apologetically: "I'm sorry, Miss Lorenno, my companion is not in a good mind."

"Hey!"
