Saint?Just a bad woman

Santa Karina waved to her two companions who were playing in the water. Hero and Melissa were confused, but they stopped playing and walked slowly.

"what happened?"

Hero was a little nervous because Santa Karina's expression was quite solemn. Every time she showed this expression, it meant something was about to happen.Your Lady Saint is not as good at hiding her emotions as she thought.Maybe it's because her abilities are so outstanding that she doesn't need to hide anything from others.

"There are many evil spirits in this river, right under our feet."

"what?"

Melissa was okay, but Hero immediately jumped up in fright, left the river and stood on the bank, looking around nervously.It was very quiet in the forest, there was no one else except the three of them, and the evil spirit that Santa Kalina mentioned seemed to be nowhere to be seen.But before long, the calm river seemed to be boiling, the water surged, and countless bubbles emerged from below.

Many "figures" emerged from the bottom of the river.

The bottom of this river is so clear that it is hard to imagine why it can hide so many resentful spirits.Those resentful spirits are completely transparent, and the pebbles at the bottom of the river can be seen through them.The figures felt the call of Santa Karina and automatically appeared from the bottom of the river.

Surprisingly, those ghosts are all young girls.

The person who just held Santa Karina's ankle seemed to be the leader of these resentful spirits. She was wearing a long white dress and bare feet. Her long brown hair was hanging behind her and reached her waist. Although her appearance was not that of a charming woman, But she is also one of the most beautiful women in a thousand.

The rest of the resentful spirits are not bad in appearance, and their appearance is completely above ordinary.

Santa Karina looked around and saw that the total number of these girls must be dozens.She was curious about what happened to this river that caused so many young girls to die.

"You have something to say?"

She looked at the shy girl, more specifically the girl's resentful spirit.There were tears in her eyes and her expression was sad, as if she had a thousand words to say.

The other people behind the girl also showed sad expressions, and when they saw Santa Carolina, it was like seeing the savior.Maybe it was her special power that gave these resentful spirits hope.

It is not uncommon for people to help vengeful spirits to be saved by chance. Although St. Karina does not completely remember what she experienced 500 years ago, she often works to save them.

She is also a clergyman, and the clergy's duties also include saving the souls of the dead, preparing funerals for the deceased, reciting eulogies, etc. For now, she is just helping out.

"Well... Miss Sister, is it okay to call you that?"

"It's okay, just call it that."

Santa Karina originally wanted to say that she was a saint of the Lorian Empire, but she was worried that this identity would scare them.Anyway, the saint is a thing of the past. She is now a polished commander, and leaking her identity will not be beneficial to the investigation. It is best to hide it and pretend to be an ordinary nun.

"We have plenty of time now. I want to know what happened to you. If you don't mind, please tell me."

With "tears" in their eyes, the girls temporarily gathered around Santa Karina and the girl with long brown hair in a spirit state.The scene now is so amazing, those who didn’t know it thought there was a big party going on.

Hero and Melissa knew that they should not disturb Santa Karina to deal with things now, so they consciously found a tree stump to sit down on.

The leading spirit girl introduced herself first.

"My name is Alexia, and I am a resident of the small town called Zimmerman at the foot of the mountain. But that was decades ago. That town was very conservative and closed, and there were many weird things. According to the tradition, every year on the double moon day, when the red and blue moons appear in the sky at the same time, the town will select two young girls for the twin moon gods and sacrifice them to the twin moon gods."

"So, you are all sacrifices to the Twin Moon Gods?"

"Yes, we all are."

Alexia looked at a mountain in the distance.

"The altar is located in the cave of that mountain. Near the cave is the birthplace of the river. During the sacrificial ceremony, the townspeople will place the selected girl on the altar, and then let the priest perform the divine descending ceremony. The man possessed by the god killed two girls with his own hands and distributed their blood to the townspeople. Finally, the girls' bodies were put into metal coffins and thrown into the river bottom. The priest said that the girls' souls had ascended to heaven and came to The twin moon gods become their envoys, and their bodies need to stay at the bottom of the river to protect the town. Moreover, the priests usually use various excuses to ask for finances from the townspeople. If they don't give it, they will Got the same fate."

Santa Karina's brows gradually wrinkled as she listened.

I didn't expect that a country as open as the Lorian Empire would still have such bad habits. She had obviously carried out a series of actions to eradicate bad habits hundreds of years ago. Although it made many people want her to step down, she also really helped many people who were persecuted by bad habits. of nationals.

However, during the hundreds of years she slept, the number of people persecuted by these so-called "sacred rituals" not only did not decrease, but also continued to increase.Although she couldn't resurrect these dead girls, she could at least do something for them.

Speaking of the twin moon gods, if they can expose each other, this damn ritual should be completely broken, and the townspeople in distress will be saved.

53.Night attack

Santa Karina had no plans to go there in person. After writing down the matter, she planned to leave it to the little emperor to send someone to deal with it later.

However, she still helped with the salvation of the Earthbound Spirit.

After another three days, she finally returned to the capital after a long absence.

During this period, they first took Hailuo to check in where she wanted to go, and played until it got dark before letting Melissa drive the carriage into the palace.

On a dark and windy night, the majestic Saint of the Patriotic Kingdom sneaked into the bed of the current emperor of the Lorian Empire late at night.

"who?"

Brenda was always a light sleeper, and she woke up from her sleep at the slightest movement.

"Shh... don't yell, Your Majesty, it's me."

Brenda knew Santa Karina's voice even when she turned to ashes.

At this time, Santa Karina had stretched out her hand and wrapped it around Brenda's waist from behind, pressing the soft part against her back. The hot breath she exhaled while speaking was blown to Brenda's ears.

"Don't be so close."

The numbing hot air blew through her, making her feel angry and ready to explode.

However, the strength between the two was not on the same level at all. She could not break free from Santa Karina's shackles just by relying on her own strength.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I feel very tired and urgently need to replenish the power of the direct bloodline of the Ernest family."

Of course this was an excuse, the truth was that she just wanted to see Brenda in trouble.

If outsiders were called for help, rumors would spread that the emperor was actually not on good terms with the saint, which would be detrimental to politics. Therefore, even if Brenda didn't like Saint Kalina's post, she couldn't call for help.

"If you just hug and don't do anything excessive..."

Brenda gave in.

"No, I have discretion..."

As Santa Karina said this, she slipped her hands under the hem of the clothes that hugged Brenda's waist.

The fabric of the pajamas was very thin, but Brenda's body was very hot. Her hand against the other person's flat belly was a little cold, which made Brenda shiver in excitement.

The low temperature of her hands was mainly because she had just entered the room from the outside, and the temperature of her limbs was slightly lower than usual.

"Stop! I'm going to call someone!"

The anger seemed to turn into other emotions, and Brenda was so anxious that she almost cried.

She was like an ant on a hot pot, biting her teeth, looking very fragile.

"Calling people...who should you call? Your Majesty, are you the type that makes others feel better when they look at you?"

"you!"

While speaking, a lot of hot air blew on Brenda's ears.

Her body trembled and she held her breath. She felt uncomfortable being unable to go up or down.

"Shh... don't make trouble."

It was clearly Santa Karina who was making trouble, but she acted as if the other person was the one causing the unreasonable trouble.

Her fingers moved and began to roam restlessly on Brenda's smooth belly.

"Ugh... You're the one making trouble, you bastard, I'm going to chop off your head."

Because of her anger, her tall little breasts were swaying messily, and the slightly open neckline showed that the beauty inside was leaking out.

"You are so fierce, Your Majesty. I just want to be close to you."

As Santa Karina said this, she was no longer content with just rubbing her belly, but instead moved her fingers around the opponent's belly button.

If the lower abdomen was still within Brenda's tolerance, a private place like the belly button was too private.

But seeing the opponent being defeated, Santa Karina felt a sense of revenge, and the little devil-like Q-version image in her heart laughed very unscrupulously.

54.Eris Cult

The next day, the angry little emperor handed over a memorial. She knew that what she did last night was wrong, so Santa Karina, who promised to help, was ordered to deal with the recent cases of cults in Partington, the capital. case.

There are always some people among the people who secretly believe in some religions that are explicitly prohibited by the government. Those religions are not serious religions yet. A so-called cleric tricks the ignorant people into joining, promising all kinds of seemingly beautiful things and futures.

Distressed and pain-ridden believers believed those lies, joined without a second thought, became followers of unknown cults, believed in his so-called gods, made offerings to them, and even sacrificed themselves in the hope that to gain His favor.

The name of the cult is the Eris Cult, which worships the evil god Eris who was suppressed under the Grangemouth Mountains, the largest mountain range in the capital many years ago. The first saint and a group of clergy worked together to defeat and suppress it.

The power of the Eternal God Cult is not enough to completely kill this great evil god, and can only make him sleep for hundreds or thousands of years.

Santa Karina had just checked the seal not long ago. Although it was a little loose, the evil god's body was still in the restricted area, and outsiders could not set foot on it.What is happening now is probably that part of Eris's will escaped from the gap in the seal, possessed some people with strong desires, and used that person as a host to control the other person to continuously develop the power of Eris Cult.

The host's will will fall into a deep sleep. As the sleeping time becomes longer and longer, the power of resistance will gradually weaken. In the end, the soul will be completely lost and completely reduced to a walking corpse. It only knows how to work hard for the evil god's goals, which is basically equal to death.

Although the Church of the God of Order is the current state religion, in fact, many people only believe in it superficially and are dissatisfied with the rule of the church in their hearts.The Church of the God of Order has increasingly oppressed the people. It often uses the excuse of strengthening faith and praying for God's blessings to collect food and taxes from the people, and the amount collected has been growing.

Although Brenda is the king of a country, she has no choice but to conquer the powerful Church of the God of Order.

Although she knew very well that the church was rotten from the inside out, with her current power so weak that it could be ignored, except for commanding some troops and the maids in the palace, she was basically a puppet emperor.

Files and documents from various departments were piled on the table. The ministers and nobles who held the real power advised her not to struggle with these things. Who cares about the people's affairs anyway?

Nowadays, the world is so chaotic, who is in the mood to care about the life and death of ordinary people?

These people are so selfish. Brenda wants to govern this country that is riddled with holes and save the people from the dire straits of life. Unfortunately, there are many obstacles and she sometimes cannot protect herself.

What's even more outrageous is that a certain minister with cerebral palsy previously proposed that members of the royal family offer sacrifices to heaven to pray for good weather in the coming year.Brenda argued with him hard and finally did not let the matter be done.

She can't afford to offend anyone now.

"So... I have to leave the matter to you regarding the Eris Cult, Saint Karina."

"That's why you worked so hard last night. I understand."

The same thing happened to Santa Carina, who was lying naked in her arms.After returning from Ilparaiso, the two drank all night long and had a great time.

When the emotions brewed to a certain height, Santa Carolina untied the emperor's robe with ease.The two of them had done this kind of thing more than once, and Santa Karina didn't feel ashamed or worried about it.

Such a thing as shame has long since disappeared. She is still an antique over 500 years old. An antique cannot have a sense of shame. It has been completely wiped out by the passage of time.

"Not entirely. But except for you, probably no one can help me with this matter. Everyone is laughing at me. I just want to be a puppet emperor who only knows how to eat and wait for death. This country's I don’t need to worry about big or small things, but... I really can’t stay in the palace eating, drinking and having fun with peace of mind while documents reporting on disasters in various places pile up."

Brenda's expression was pained.

After getting along for a period of time, Santa Karina also got to know her a little bit.

As far as she knew so far, Brenda didn't have bad intentions, at most she was a little impatient.She worked very hard, reading and studying day and night, hoping to do something for this country, even if most of these efforts were in vain.

She resembles the deeply hurt Ernest VII.Not only do they look alike, they also have similar ways of doing things.Santa Karina looked at Brenda's face, the words of rejection came to her lips, but she finally swallowed them.

The matter of the Eris Cult has reached a point where it has to be resolved. The Church of the God of Order is still in ruins and has no intention of intervening. Santa Karina has no choice but to investigate on her own.Once the great evil god wakes up from his slumber, he will definitely take revenge on those who sealed him in the Eternal God Religion.

Although Santa Karina was not involved, she was one of the few remaining believers of the Eternal God Religion, and it was estimated that she would not be able to escape.Now she doesn't have enough ability to compete with the evil god, and she can't do it forcefully. It's best to take advantage of the evil god's influence before it completely spreads in the capital, and nip his evil plan in the cradle.

"I understand. I will handle this matter. You only need to prepare the funds for investigating this case. You don't need to worry about anything else."

"Well... I also want to investigate together. Can you take me with you?"

"Are you good at it? I'm not good at swordsmanship, and my magic skills are only so-so. It makes it difficult for me to have the desire to take you out to investigate."

Santa Karina is not incapable of protecting Brenda, but she thinks that these messy things should not be investigated by an inexperienced girl.

This was murky water, and there was no need for Brenda to wade through it.

"However, I have been working very hard to learn swordsmanship from the knight commander recently, and I have also been practicing magic. The teachers before were unwilling to teach me well, and you know why. The ministers and nobles were worried that one day I would become fully fledged. If it affects their status, I won’t be able to do anything I want to do..."

The girl in her arms trembled and suddenly started sobbing.

Santa Karina understands her situation very well. The royal family has always been at the top of the food chain. When did it become like this when it was attacked from both sides and suppressed by others all the time?

In this case, you can only seek changes and breakthroughs yourself.Brenda was right. Sitting there and waiting for death would only lead to death.

"Okay, don't cry. This will disgrace the Ernest royal family. Cheer up and bring you along for the investigation. Don't act rashly and listen to my arrangements."

55. Investigate deeply

The destination of the investigation was a small town in a remote suburb outside the capital.

Among the many documents, Brenda discovers one reporting a massive increase in deaths and disappearances in the town.It was caught in many big events and seemed not that important.

That town is built in the mountains and is surrounded by mountains. It is not surprising that disasters such as landslides occur.The surrounding mountains are so steep that just walking on the mountain road can make people break into cold sweats.

In such an environment, it seemed nothing special for the townspeople to have accidents. Recently, the entire Lorian Empire was in the rainy season, and landslides occurred frequently. People below felt that Brenda was making a fuss out of a molehill.

Now the country is in chaos, even the capital is in turmoil, and what happened in a small town is even more ignored.

Brenda compared several documents and found that the places where things happened were in remote suburbs. The Eris Cult was gradually infiltrating the area around the capital, Partington. Once the capital was controlled, a large number of monsters would march straight in.
