The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

"Why did you steal it?" Li Muchen asked, "Since you have eliminated the mark of Holy Light in your soul through black fire, you can escape without being noticed."

"Yes, if it were just me, I could escape even without the black fire purification. Because of the earthquake, my baptism went wrong and my soul imprint was incomplete. However, I need the black fire because I still want to Save my wife."

"Your wife?"

"Yes, I joined the Holy Light Society because of her. My wife was originally a beautiful and kind-hearted woman. She loved me and our family very much. But since she joined the Holy Light Society, her whole person has changed . She dedicated everything she had to God and no longer cared about me or our family. At that time, I only knew that she was religious and did not know the existence of the Holy Light Society."

"She filed for divorce from me, and I knew she was going to give up on me completely. That night, I followed her to their secret meeting place, and then I saw that terrible scene."

"There was a white light in that room, and all the people, men and women, were standing in the white light, and there were no shadows on the ground. They were not wearing clothes, they just stood like that, praying devoutly. Then they started to do something Things get messy and everything becomes dirty and obscene."

"This is nothing. If it was just like this, I might choose to call the police or simply call the brothers I met in Sicily to rush in together. But what happened next scared me to death. I saw them With a knife, he cut open my wife's chest, took out the heart and internal organs, and put them one by one into a basin filled with clean water."

"I was so frightened that I didn't dare to make any noise or even run away. I just shivered in that corner all night."

"Impossible!" Mrs. Yin immediately discovered the flaw in Joyce's words, "According to what you said, they were baptizing your wife, and there would be at least one bishop-level figure present at the baptism place. You hide How could they not find you there?"

Joyce said: "I was only afraid at the time and didn't think much about anything else. I also thought about it later. The corner I was in at that time was the only dark place in the whole room, and the holy light could not reach there. Church The bishop's spiritual practice is actually very weak, and he relies on the power of the Holy Light through spells. As long as there are no angels or Templars present, they won't be able to find me if I hide in that corner. But..."

He paused.

"What puzzles me is that the location of that corner is not particularly remote. At least I can clearly see everything happening inside. Logically, the holy light can shine. But I remember that it was very dark there, so dark that there was no light at all. , and also very cold. I am usually afraid of the dark, but that day, the darkness gave me a rare sense of security."

Li Muchen felt something was wrong as soon as he heard it.

From this point of view, the corner where Joyce was hiding was probably covered by some kind of magic power, which prevented the baptizing bishop from discovering him.

He turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Yin. From the look in Mrs. Yin's eyes, he was sure that they had the same idea.

I just don’t know who the person who protected Joyce was and what their purpose was.

"and after?"

"I came home and didn't go out for many days because I was scared. Then one day, my wife came back unexpectedly. I thought I saw a ghost. No one can survive after being disembowelled and having their heart removed."

"My wife asked me why, and I told her everything I saw. She said that in this case, there were only two choices left, either to join them or die. I knew she still loved me, otherwise she wouldn't give her It was my choice. Out of love for my wife and fear of death, I agreed to join them."

"When I was baptized, there was an earthquake in Jasmine City, and the Holy Light Society was holding a very important ceremony at that time. The earthquake had a great impact on them, and my baptism was also forced to be interrupted. It took a long time to be able to continue."

"The priest who baptized me said that I was lucky because the Holy Light was briefly extinguished and my internal organs and body were separated. Theoretically, I must die. But I survived, and because of this the Holy Light in my soul The mark was incomplete, which caused my faith to be unstable. Fortunately, they didn't discover this. This also made me the only rebel of the Holy Light Society in the past hundred years."

"Are there any apostates a hundred years ago?"

"Yes, there was a black fire disaster a hundred years ago. It is said that when the black fire was studied at that time, it accidentally spread, annihilating the holy light of the entire church, and also causing all the holy lights on the believers who were practicing in the church at that time. The light mark disappeared. The Holy Light Laboratory in Jasmine City was established from then on, and from now on, such research will be placed in the Holy Light Laboratory to prevent similar disasters from happening."

"The laboratory has strict confidentiality requirements, so even the handymen are held by members of the church. I was an insignificant figure in the church, so I was transferred to be a handyman. So, when no one was paying attention, I came into contact with the Black Fire, completely It washed away the faith in my soul. After I confirmed that this thing was useful, I wanted to use it to save my wife's soul, so I stole the Black Fire."

"Where is the Black Fire?" Li Muchen asked.

Joyce was silent, obviously not wanting to hand over Black Fire.

Li Muchen said: "You have no chance to use the black fire to save your wife. The only chance is to give the black fire to us."

"Can you help me save my wife?" Joyce looked at Li Muchen eagerly, "I know that with my ability, I am lucky enough to be able to hide and not be found by the church. I have no chance to save her. My wife. You are Eastern monks with mysterious powers. You can defeat the Victor Angel and the Golden Knight. If you promise to save my wife, I will give you the Black Fire."

Li Muchen frowned slightly. This condition was not too much, but Joyce's wife may not be willing to be saved. She was probably completely voluntary. Even if there was black fire to cleanse the spell in her soul, it might not be effective.

"I can promise you, but only if the black fire really works and your wife is willing to come back to you."

"She will be willing!" Joyce said excitedly, "She was forced! She was deceived! She loves me, and she will not abandon me or our warm and lovely home! Please , save her!”

"What's her name? Where is she?"

"Her name is Agatha, and she is in Jasmine City. But I am not sure which church she is in. After I was transferred to work in the laboratory, I have not seen her again. I heard that she went to St. Sariel Church, too. It’s called the Church of the Moon. It’s a mysterious stronghold of the church, under the jurisdiction of the holy angel Sariel.”

"Sariel?"

"Yes, Sariel. She is one of the holy angels of the Holy Angel Order, known as the Moonlight Angel."

"Where was that Victor just now?"

"Victor is just a member of the Angel Corps, a patrolling angel, far from the level of a holy angel."
