Chapter 345 The Last Request of the Holy Maiden (Day 9 of Riwan)(2/2)

"Several servants of the temple came back from the tour mission outside... They all reported to me that the farms and mountain villages near the town were attacked and looted by invaders..."

The saint's words were plain, as if they were talking about something that was neither light nor serious.

But when the soldiers heard it, they felt endless pressure.

"Those innocent people who only want to survive... I heard that they were all killed by invaders, their families were destroyed, and those who survived by chance had no homes and relatives... They even fled to Bofei Town, and you would not accept them."

The soldier couldn't help but kneel down. Even though it was difficult to kneel down in martial arts, the soldier was also a believer in the temple, and he could not withstand the questioning of the Saint.

He replied weakly: "Saint Madam... It's really not that we don't want to accept everyone... You also know that the two countries have started war now, and the nobles have led their troops to Angle City to wait for the orders of Her Majesty the Queen. There are not many soldiers left behind in Bofe Town. Now the head of the town is the son of the noble! He does not allow us to accept civilians, and even knows the news that the nearby farm was attacked, and does not allow us to attack and rescue..."

The saint slowly came to the temple table, holding the prayer table with both hands, and couldn't help but sigh and showed sadness.

"I've seen that noble child...I asked him to send troops to find Ai Lu, but I just perfunctory me on the surface."

"The nobles of Bofei Town now only want to protect their own territory..."

"Isn't the farms and mountain villages around Bofei Town his territory?" The saint shouted loudly, scaring the soldiers so much that they didn't dare to speak.

The saint continued: "When they need to pay taxes, you will be as diligent as you run! Now something happened to the people who paid taxes to you. The knife was placed on your neck, and you could even pretend that you didn't see anything! Don't you feel ashamed!"

"Saint Madam..."

The saint was powerless to lower his head, took a deep breath to calm down: "No matter what, the important thing now is to find the news about Ai Lu immediately... This is my only request from him! Go back and tell your master that if he is perfunctory to me again, don't blame me for being rude in the temple!"

Seeing this, the soldier hurriedly kowtowed and saluted, and then ran out.

It seems that he is looking for the son of the lord who is in the town.

As soon as the saint got out of fire, several divine servants came in from the side of the temple, some of which were even wounded.

"Sir Saint... Don't get angry, otherwise let the god know and blame our servants for not serving you well."

The saint waved his hand, his eyes rarely showing fierceness: "I don't believe that the gods will ask Ai Lu to bear all misfortunes. This world should not be like this, nor can it be like this! Ai Lu will definitely be fine."

The servants of the gods looked at each other.

They served the Saint for many years, but never saw the Saint being so persistent to anyone other than Her Majesty the Queen.

In particular, Ai Lu has only been serving the saint for half a year as a divine servant, but the relationship between them is very close. Now looking at the moment, the saint is even willing to give up other requirements, as long as the lord's son meets one of the saints' requirements.

That is to send troops to find Ai Lu...

Whether there is any untold story between Ai Lu and the Saint is a topic that the servants of God have been talking about in private.

However, Ai Lu has a very similar temperament to that of a saint, and she shows a kind smile whenever she meets everyone. The relationship between the divine servants and Ai Lu is not bad. Everyone is nervous and worried about the fact that Ai Lu has not come back for many days.

At this moment, the gate of the temple opened again, and it was still the knight.

He hurried in, as if he didn't even have time to breathe.

Seeing this, the saint frowned. Could it be that the lord's son was so disrespectful to give him face and refused to agree to his last request?

"Saint...Saint Madam! Captain Knight is here!"

"Who?" the saint glared.

"He is the captain of the Royal Knights, Lord Xu Mu! He brought Miss Sreta and Miss Betina, plus an army of more than thirty people to Bofei Town!"

"He came to Bofei Town? Could it be..." The Saint thought of something and was a little surprised: "Where is Xu Mu now?"

"Captain Knight knows that you are on the way to the temple behind you!"

Just when the saint heard that he was about to get off the prayer table and wanted to go to the gate to pick up Xu Mu, a man had already entered the temple along the open gate.

The man was wearing light armor and supported the exquisite magic crystal sword with one hand, with a solemn face and majestic appearance.

"Xu Mu..." The saint couldn't help but subconsciously chant when he saw the visitor.

When Xu Mu saw the saint, his solemn expression couldn't help but smile.

"Sir, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Yes... I haven't seen each other for more than half a year."

Xu Mu glanced at the soldiers and the divine servant. The saint was extremely enlightened and waved his hand to let the others retreat. At this time, the two of them were left in the entire temple.

Xu Mu took out a letter from his arms, which contained an emblem with a royal carved pattern. The saint glared slightly when he saw this and clearly recognized it.

"Her Majesty the Queen asked me to send you a letter in person."

The saint took the letter and did not bother to open it in person. When she opened it, she saw only two words on it - Ai Lu.

Her thin lips slightly opened, her eyes were surprised, and then her head turned and thought about it, immediately understanding the meaning of these two words.

She once wrote to Shinia about the importance of Ai Deer, but she did not say the reason, but only told Shinia that she would explain it to Shinia in person after the temple tour.

However, the sudden declaration of war between the two countries made the Saint wonder. She guessed whether the reason for the war would be related to Ai Lu, but she was not sure.

Until Shinia brought the letter with the word "Ai Lu" written on it, it seemed as if Shinia was telling herself.

She already knew everything about Ai Lu, and this war also started because of Ai Lu.

The saint barely stepped back and held the bench handle, looking a little depressed.

Seeing this, Xu Mu couldn't help but worry: "Saint Madam..."

"I...I'm fine." The saint waved his hand, took a deep breath, looked up at Xu Mu: "Is it true that the direct cause of the war between the two countries is Ai Lu?"

Seeing this, Xu Mu's face was no longer gentle, and he turned solemn again, extremely serious: "Yes... During the temple tour, the hunter team that entered the country to survey and search for Ai Lu found traces. On the way, I saved several civilian villages. Those guild hunters said that they found Ai Lu in the queue for the temple tour."

"So that's it...so that's it..."

"Then the news came back to the Kingdom of Kailie, and the Kingdom of Kailie sent a foreign envoy to the capital of Heine and asked for people with Her Majesty the Queen. After all, the people of the Kingdom of Kailie were still afraid of the attack on the temple and wanted to see if Her Majesty knew the origin of Ailu."

"Well...how did Ailu know? I remember you were not in Magic Academy before?"

"I happened to have returned to the capital because of some things, attended the palace council, and met the foreign envoy. So I stopped this and told Her Majesty the Queen about Ai Lu."

"I see..."

The saint was very disappointed. She slowly sat down on the bench next to her and lowered her head, looking very sad.
