The Path of Ascension to the Priest

The time agreed with Cambecas to go to the werewolf territory is set in ten days. Apart from the time spent on the road, the time she can stay in the Goss Empire is not long.

The next day after reuniting with Lucille, Tang Qiu took someone to meet Delphine at the location of the elves.

Although Delphine was willing to help Tang Qiu protect the Goss Empire, their family's hostility towards the Holy See did not ease much.

Just as the carriage entered their territory, a rain of arrows suddenly flew from the woods and stopped the convoy.

A dark-skinned dark elf appeared on the tree trunk holding a longbow, staring indifferently at the Holy See's convoy, as if as long as they took a step forward, the next rain of arrows would fall on them instead of in front of them .

Mario motioned for the team to stop, with a serious expression on his face. It was also the first time for him to see with his own eyes how deep the elves' hostility to the Holy See was.

Tang Qiu stepped out of the carriage, raised his eyes and glanced at the dark elves in the woods, and whispered to Mario: "You guys wait here."

Mario subconsciously refused, "It's too dangerous for you to go in alone..."

Karen, who was standing behind Tang Qiu in armor and a silver mask, was not happy when she heard these words, "I will protect the safety of Bishop Grace."

This person is obviously the priest who follows Reiss, so why does he always pretend to be a knight of light when he is beside the blond bishop.

Karen curled her lips, obviously she was the light knight of the blond bishop.

Mario didn't seem to hear Karen's words. He jumped off the horse and said blankly, "I'll go in with you. Archbishop Reese asked me to protect your safety."

Tang Qiu glanced at him, thought for a while, and nodded in response, "Okay." It's such a time, maybe there is no need to hide some things from Ruisi,

Planning to assassinate Cambecas requires Reese to deal with the aftermath.

The convoy was on standby. Tang Qiu only brought Mario and Karen into the forest. Some of the dark elves didn't know the blond bishop. Seeing them approaching the territory, the arrow rain flew over again.

Karen drew out her long sword to stand in front of Tang Qiu, and cut off the flying arrow. Mario raised his staff, and was about to chant a spell, when Tang Qiu bent down and picked up a black arrow that fell to the ground from the corner of his eye. , he frowned, and was about to remind her that the arrow condensed by the power of darkness would erode into her palm, when she saw her holding the flying arrow and flicking it casually, leaving a few afterimages in the air and then disappearing.

Mario: "..."

The staff in his hand paused, and Mario looked at the blond bishop in surprise, forgetting to chant the spell.

The flying arrow pierced the top of the dense tree, and a dark elf with long silver-gray hair jumped down from the top of the tree, still holding the black arrow thrown by Tang Qiu in her hand, and the arrow slowly dissipated in her hand.

"I'm here to find Delphine." Tang Qiu smiled at the dark elf with long silver-gray hair and said, "Aren't you welcome?"

Patricia had spotted the blond bishop long ago, but Patricia, who had been watching the show in the dark, snorted coldly, raised her hand to stop the dark elf who was still attacking, and stared at Tang Qiu with silver-gray eyes, alienated and indifferently Said: "What are you doing here?"

Tang Qiu stroked his chin and thought about it, then said jokingly, "Come to catch up on the old days."

"Delphine sent me a message to see her."

Patricia's expression was tense, she looked at her deeply for a while, then turned around expressionlessly, "Follow me."

I heard Delphine mention that this dark elf seems to have just come of age?It's fun to tease children, Tang Qiu chuckled, and followed Patricia.

When Tang Qiu and the others first entered the territory, Delphine noticed it. She took the initiative to go out to greet them, and happened to meet them halfway.

"Long time no see." Delphine tilted her head, looked at Karen and Mario behind Tang Qiu, doubts flashed in her light green eyes, "Why didn't you come here by yourself?"

Forget about a group of people from the Holy See outside, and now they bring in two more. They don’t welcome people from other Holy See. The blond bishop should know about this.

Tang Qiu shook his head helplessly, sighed and said, "My current identity is the envoy of the Holy See."

Delphine blinked, "What messenger?"

"A messenger to negotiate with the elves."

The smile on Delphine's face slowly disappeared, "Oh? What are you talking about?"

Both Mario and Karen noticed the change in Delphine's expression, and they secretly became vigilant.

Tang Qiu didn't care about Delphine's change of face. She turned to Karen and the two behind her and whispered, "Wait here for me."

After she finished speaking, she did not give the two of them a chance to speak, and winked at Delphine, "Speak alone?"

Delphine glanced at her, turned slightly sideways, and motioned for her and himself to enter the tree house.

Due to the limited time and environment, the newly built tree house here is not as comfortable as the elves' territory. Tang Qiu and Delphine entered the tree house. Patricia lowered her eyes and thought about it, and then went in together.

Delphine glanced at Patricia who came in with them and said nothing. She looked up at Tang Qiu, frowned and said, "What do you mean by the messenger?"

"It's not interesting." Tang Qiu knew that Delphine would definitely not agree to the Pope's proposal. Speaking of it might deepen her dislike for the Holy See. It would be bad if it affected the "friendship" between them up.

So Tang Qiu never planned to help the Holy See and the elves negotiate anything from the beginning.

"It's just some absurd ideas of the Pope."

Delphine's face turned cold when she heard her mentioning the Pope, but later, seeing that she didn't seem to have any intention of delivering a message for the Pope, her face softened a little.

Tang Qiu had been paying attention to the changes in Delphine's expression, and after seeing the coldness in her eyes slowly dissipating, she continued, "Actually, I'm not here for the Holy See this time."

Tang Qiu glanced at Patricia and said, "Your little guardian should have told you, right? So, what do you think of my previous proposal?"

The previous proposal... Delphine smiled lightly and said, "I'm considering it, otherwise I wouldn't have brought my people here."

"But I have no intention of helping the Holy See drive away the darkness. I want to make this clear to you in advance."

Tang Qiu thought for a while with lowered eyes, and said helplessly: "You are too stubborn. If the Holy See is overthrown by the Black Witch and the Sittau Continent is completely occupied by darkness, even if the elves can take back the Tree of Life, I am afraid that in the future they will only Can breed dark elves."

Delphine frowned, but said nothing.

"The dark forces are greedy, do you think the dark elves can survive with them?"

The black witches have weird personalities and crazy ideas. When they control this continent, they kill all human beings, and their eyes will be on other races in the next step.

So what if the elves are powerful, the scarcity of people is always their disadvantage.

In the same way, the werewolves will also encounter this.

Only light can accommodate the peaceful coexistence of all races on this continent, and darkness will only erode dissidents step by step, and eventually lead to destruction.

It is not that the Starto continent has never been ruled by darkness. After the gods left the Starto continent, this continent began to be controlled by a powerful and united blood clan.

The dark forces cannot tolerate dissidents. At that time, all races were the prey of blood clans. The living environment of werewolves and elves was worse than it is now.

And the black witch will only be more cruel than the vampire.

The Delphines mentioned by Tang Qiu hadn't thought about it, including Faye, they all knew what the continent would look like after the Black Witch succeeded.

It's just...they don't trust the Holy See.

Seeing that Delphine's expression was a little loose, Tang Qiu knew that she was also worried about the coming of darkness, so she smiled slightly and said, "Suppressing darkness must rely on the power of the Holy See."

Her hand changed the topic, "However, when the darkness is suppressed, the Holy See can no longer be the original Holy See."

Delphine looked up at Tang Qiu, and said calmly, "How can you guarantee it?"

Tang Qiu leaned slightly, her sky blue eyes were full of seriousness, "What has been threatening the elves is the blood force behind the pope, let's join hands..." She stretched out her hand and made a gesture of erasing.

The Holy See took away the Tree of Life because of the order of the vampires, and the vampires have always been in demand for the elven fruit.

Delphine lowered her eyes slowly, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Your purpose?" She looked at Tang Qiu with a trace of inquiry, "Do you want to be Pope?"

The blood clan behind the Pope is powerful and mysterious. If it was easy to deal with, Delphine would have joined forces with Faye to attack.

But now the blond bishop is thinking about it. She doesn't seem to have any connection with these blood races. Apart from wanting to be the pope, she can't think of other reasons.

Tang Qiu knew that if she didn't solve Delphine's question, she would definitely not believe herself, "This has nothing to do with the Pope." She paused, and said calmly, "It's just that those blood races threatened my last important people's safety."

"Oh?"

"Do you still remember the vampire next to me?" Tang Qiu said with downcast eyes: "A three-generation vampire named Yiden has been trying to catch her."

Delphine thought of something, and his eyes flashed, "You killed Evan?"

Tang Qiu didn't hide anything, and nodded slightly.

Delphine was a little surprised by this incident. She put her hand on the table, bent her fingers and tapped on the tabletop. After thinking for a while, she said solemnly: "I think there is something I should let you know."

"Among the blood clan forces standing behind the Pope, Evan is nothing."

Tang Qiu frowned. She really didn't know much about this aspect. Although she knew an Elder Eden, she didn't know the details of this blood clan. She looked at Delphine quietly, waiting for her next step. if.

Delphine pursed her lips and said in a deep voice: "The real blood force behind him is the entire Xitai clan."

"Iden is just a three-generation elder in the Xitai clan."

There can be more than one elder in a clan, and although it has been said that the second-generation blood clan fell into a deep sleep after the holy war ended.

However, when the Pope was assassinated more than 1000 years ago, a second-generation blood family participated, although Delphine heard that the second-generation blood family involved belonged to the Thorny Clan.

Tang Qiu was stunned for a moment, her eyes dimmed. She did not expect that the entire Xitai clan would be involved in the creation of mixed blood.

The pressure facing the entire clan is much heavier than that of a single three-generation elder.

Tang Qiu was silent for a while, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, his voice was soft but firm, "Although it's more difficult than I imagined, my thoughts remain the same."

Without eradicating them, Lucille is forever in danger.

Delphine looked at Tang Qiu and said softly, "I will seriously consider your proposal."

This involves the survival of the elves, and she has to make a careful decision.

Tang Qiu didn't expect that Delphine would make a decision right away. She just came here this time to test and see her reaction. Knowing the details of Eden now is an unexpected gain.

The atmosphere in the tree house suddenly became silent. Delphine, who was in deep thought, suddenly thought of something, took out an envelope from the space gem and put it in Tang Qiu's hand, "By the way, this is for you."

Tang Qiu glanced down and questioned, "What is this?"

Delphine motioned her to put it away, and said with an inexplicable expression: "I don't know, someone asked me to hand it over to you."

Tang Qiu opened it and glanced at the signature, raised his eyebrows in surprise, but still put the letter into the space gem.
