Chapter 166 Dongshanhong Returns

“Elsie, I suggest you also abandon the Tiran Canon, lest the Holy Church find a loophole.”

Elsie hesitated slightly in response to Ekado's words, and was about to agree when Rig suddenly said, "No need, Duke Ekado."

"As I said before, the Blood Crown Poems are superior to the Tiran Poems, and with the interference of the Shia Poems, the Tiran Poems only play a supporting role!"

"Is that so?" Ecardo narrowed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa.

Rig watched Elsie from the side and reached out to pat her head.

"Elsie, I'm entrusting Count Ellen to you. You're confident you can rescue him, aren't you?"

Elsie's eyes were resolute; she...

[I lack confidence.]

"?"

[Elsie! Don't be fooled by this woman!]

Have you forgotten what I said all this way?

Kill Allen! Kill Allen! Kill Allen!!!

[It's almost the finale, and you're saying you won't kill him? You want to save him? How? How are you going to save him?]

You think you can wake him up with just six months of feelings? Have you forgotten how your mother died?

"To be honest, I feel like you're insulting me..."

[I've been cursing!]

[Elsie! Be decisive! Tell them! What you really need to do is kill Alen, and I will not back down on that!]

[Quick! Tell them!]

"What's wrong, Elsie?" Rig asked, puzzled.

Elsie hesitated slightly: "I'm sorry, Sister Rig."

Rig: "!"

Could it be!?

Elsie: "I'll do my best."

【？】

Look me in the eye, you bastard! In what way will you try? Kill or save?

Elsie: →_→

It seems Elsie doesn't want to pay attention to the narration; whether to kill or save, she can only take it one step at a time.

It's getting late, time to wash up and go to bed.

...

After years of fighting, Elsie rarely gets to enjoy a bath.

During the nighttime meeting, Connor and the others also arrived in the city, where they settled down under the arrangement of Alcardo.

Inside the bathroom, steam rose as Karin took off her clothes and then helped Elsie take off hers as well.

There's probably nothing more comfortable than taking a bath in cold weather.

As the two entered the pool, their skin...

Okay, same old story, I've finished watching it for you guys. It's boring, I'm off.

...

The light of dawn is so gentle!

Elsie was combing her silver hair in front of the mirror, biting her hairband. With the high ponytail tied up, she was all done, right?

In the following days, she continued to gather information about the sanctuary.

Since losing the power of the paladins, the sanctuary seems to have stopped confronting her power directly, and its actions appear very slow.

Pope Paul of the Holy Temple is located in Mirror Lake City, which is on the outskirts of the Saijing royal family. Unfortunately, she cannot cross that far to save Mirror Lake City.

Even more interestingly, she gathered information about a royal family in Ghent that they had actually withdrawn their troops!

The sanctuary did not send troops or envoys to communicate, as if the Genna royal family had witnessed the sanctuary's failure.

Now only the Holy Shield faction of the Henghai royal family and the Lanting royal family remain.

The Holy Shield's cult of Tiran drew them into the war, while the Lanting royal family felt they were a major puppet of the Holy Church.

"The Holy Temple doesn't seem to have completely lost its fighting power; the Grand Master of the Holy Knights, Hagen, is still alive," the witch Rig said groggily, lying on Elsie's bed.

"According to the opposite prediction, they are now on their way to Orwick City."

“That’s perfect,” Elsie laughed. “It saves us the trouble of going to find him ourselves.”

Witch Rig did not respond. When Elsie turned around, she saw that the lazy witch was asleep!

Damn it! You just woke up, didn't you?

"Neigh!" Suddenly, Puck's hawk flew to the window and tilted its head as it looked at Elsie.

Elsie immediately realized that something had happened, and quickly got dressed to find Connor and the others.

At this moment, Connor was also happy to welcome Elsie, it seemed that something good had happened?

"My lord! Guess who we've found?" Connor led Elsie to the main street and headed towards the city center square.

On the main street were Connor's Shea family army, patrolling in columns. When they encountered Elsie, they all paid their respects and looked up at her.

The paving stones in the square seemed to have been repaired, and there were almost no traces of last year's fierce battle left. It seems that Alcardo and his men spent a lot of money.

Stepping on the new paving stones, Elsie pulled on the reins, bringing the white horse to a stop.

In the distance, Parker and Trisna walked hand in hand, followed by a group of mercenaries from the Eastern Merchant Alliance, the two leaders of whom had their hoods pulled down.

It was Dongshanhong and Yinlang!

They bowed to Elshit with smiles on their faces...

In subsequent conversations, she also learned that Dongshan Hong had gotten separated from the team.

That year, they were scattered by the Holy Army. By the time they broke out of the encirclement, Elsie and the others had already left, and the entire street was filled with enemy troops.

Moreover, Yin Lang also learned that Ellen was coming soon, and they knew they would be unable to fight her, so they withdrew from the south gate.

But not knowing the direction Elsie had evacuated, they had no choice but to follow the coastline to the Saijing Royal Family.

...

Inside the manor castle, the maids refilled Dongshan Hong's cup of hot tea. He nodded his thanks a few times and continued, "This whole journey..."

"We have seen too many villages destroyed by war."

"The Holy Temple's massive attack has prevented us from advancing any further." He touched his teacup and continued, "Fortunately, we encountered members of the Merchant Guild on the road."

"I also met my junior fellow disciples, which allowed me to rest and recuperate in peace."

In the time that followed, he tried to get his brothers from the East to check on Elsie's fate, but the news was being kept under tight control, so they had to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​reuniting.

"..." Yin Lang looked at Dongshan Hong, hesitated for a moment, and added, "Later, my junior brother brought news of our master, so we took a boat back to the East."

"The East?" Elsie had always been curious about the continent beyond that misty region.

"Yes, Master has come out of seclusion. Yin Lang and I went to see Him..." Dongshan Hong hesitated, seemingly unwilling to say it.

“He said, His meaning is...we still have to come back, so we came back.”

It's a bit too obvious.

Elsie rested her chin on her hand as she looked at Higashiyama Red, wondering about the matter he was hiding from her...

Her gaze was drawn to Trisna beside her, who was looking at Dongshan Hong with a shocked expression!

It seems her mind-reading ability allowed her to see something?

Trisna looked at Elsie and mouthed, "My lord, they..."

Elsie shook her head, choosing not to delve deeper.

She smiled contentedly and said, "I respect your privacy."

“I will not pursue this too much, and you do not need to explain to me about trust issues.”

"as……"
