Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 267 William of the Inquisition

Xingluo continued walking in Prontera with Monica. The two were not walking very fast. There were many special delicacies of the Fallen God Empire on the bustling streets. Monica stopped from time to time to buy some to taste. Her bulging cheeks reminded Xingluo of the Grand Duchess Sophia. Xingluo muttered, "I don't know if that guy has adapted to the life of a duke. It must be very hard for him."

Sophia was currently lying on a table piled with documents, writing furiously. In the past, these things were handled by her father, but since the Abyss incident, she had to handle everything by herself, and because of her promotion in title, there were even more documents.

"I want to go out." Sophia muttered angrily, but now she was a duke and couldn't go out casually, so she just said it.

While Sophia was yelling, Xingluo took Monica to visit many small shops. It was unknown how much Monica had to eat to be full, so Xingluo almost took her around the entire Prontera. Monica was not idle either, and ate up all the food that Xingluo found.

After a day of shopping, Monica also bought a lot of small things. Xingluo had a rare rest, so he did not go to comprehend magic, but stayed by Monica's side and accompanied her for the whole day. Monica seemed to have forgotten her previous miserable life today and played to her heart's content. Because the two of them had been in Prontera for too long, many people had seen them, and many people began to point fingers at Xingluo.

Xingluo, who was extremely thick-skinned, naturally wouldn't bother with these people. Instead, he dragged Monica around in front of them in a show-off manner, and even Monica couldn't help but laugh.

Good things are always short-lived. At night, Xingluo brought Monica back to the Sky City base from Prontera.

It was the first time for Monica to appreciate the night view of the Sky City Mercenary Group's base. A huge castle stood before her eyes, and the shocking impact came over her, giving her an indescribable feeling. Even at night, it could be seen that the base was a Baroque-style building, showing its magnificence and solemnity. The castle towered into the clouds, and the spire pierced the starry sky, shining brightly in the night.

The entire mercenary group's base was shrouded in mist, looming. The buildings with blurred outlines in the mist looked even more mysterious. Walking into the main hall of the castle, the magnificent hall came into view. The towering vaults were decorated with exquisite murals and reliefs, which were delicate and gorgeous. The murals depicted the mercenaries fighting bravely and moving forward under the starry sky. It turned out to be a magic scroll that would constantly change with the changes in the outside environment.

Walking through the hall, we came to the outdoor square, where the artificial lake quietly lay at the edge of the square. The blue water reflected the castle and the surrounding environment, as clear and transparent as a mirror. Small boats and reflections floated on the lake, rippling gently in the breeze, and the artificial lake was even more tranquil at night.

The Sky City Mercenary Group's base, with its Baroque-style architecture, magnificent scenes, and fog, creates a mysterious and magnificent atmosphere. In this environment, Monica completely fell in love with it, as if the starry sky had witnessed the glory and legend here.

Monica followed Xingluo to the observatory, which was the highest point in the entire station. Xingluo and Monica looked at the stars in the night sky. After a tiring day, they got a short rest at this moment. Monica looked at Xingluo and said, "Will we always be like this?"

Xingluo did not answer until Monica became increasingly disappointed. Then Xingluo slowly spoke, "The continent is in turmoil. I just got the news that the Inquisition of the Holy See of Light has been dispatched and officially stationed in the Fallen God Empire. I'm afraid the quiet days are coming to an end."

Monica asked in confusion, "Aren't you a cardinal of the Holy See of Light? What are you worried about?"

Xingluo said after a long while: "I am just a non-light magician who joined the Holy See of Light halfway through. Do you believe in the God of Light?"

Monica was shocked. She didn't know whether this was Xingluo's test or a subconscious inquiry. However, since the other party was Xingluo, she just had to answer according to her heart and didn't need to think too much: "I don't believe it! I believe in the power in my hands. Until I met you, no one was worthy of my trust, not even God."

Xingluo smiled and rubbed Monica's head. "Well, you are really beautiful under the moonlight. Don't slack off in meditation. You will become a being comparable to a magician. You are very talented."

Xingluo walked away after he finished speaking, while Monica looked up at the starry sky. After an unknown amount of time, she slowly said, "Whether it is the Inquisition, the Church of Light, or even God, as long as they stand in the way of Lord Xingluo, I will eliminate them one by one."

Monica uttered some bold words as if to cheer herself up, and then left the observatory.

This year, not only did the alien continent suffer two attacks from the abyss, but the Fallen God Empire moved into the Holy See of Light and became a legal church. Xingluo was appointed cardinal, in charge of the religious affairs of the Fallen God Empire, and Tiffany was in charge of the specific matters. In the same year, the Inquisition moved into the Fallen God Empire, and the number of believers in the Holy See of Light increased rapidly. A large number of blasphemers were arrested and taken to the Inquisition of the Fallen God Empire. The horrific wailing sounds were as if they were in the abyss.

Xingluo rushed to the Inquisition overnight and faced William, one of the three giants of the Inquisition, alone. The Holy See of Light attached great importance to the Fallen God Empire and directly sent one of the three giants there. Xingluo did not leave the Inquisition until the morning. After Xingluo left, the Inquisition no longer arrested blasphemers on a large scale, and the wailing stopped abruptly.

After Xingluo left, William, one of the three leaders of the Inquisition, looked at the figure who had walked away with interest. Sitting on the chair was a man in a black robe. His whole image exuded a solemn and mysterious aura.

He wore a black wide-brimmed hat, the brim of which covered his deep and sharp eyes. His face was resolute and solemn, and under his thick and deep eyebrows were a pair of blazing eyes. These eyes revealed a sharp gaze that could see through everything in the world and examine the good and evil in people's hearts.

The black robe fits tightly against his slender and upright body, highlighting his muscular strength yet elegant and harmonious. The robe is embroidered with an exquisite silver-white cross pattern, which shines brightly in the darkness. This cross symbolizes glory and justice, and is also the source of his belief in power and majesty when enforcing the law.

His lower body is neatly dressed, and under the black robe one can see a pair of straight, slender, and powerful legs. He wears a pair of black leather boots, which are simple and elegant in design, complementing his overall image. This outfit highlights his pursuit of perfection in details, and he looks like a knight of light overall.

After Xingluo returned to the base, he let out a long breath and chatted with Mo for a long time before returning to the dormitory and starting to meditate.
