Driven by Carol, the Griffin flew to the north of Twilight City, the main camp of the Holy Clan.

Different from the main city of Muxi City, the Holy Religious Army Camp looks like a huge military camp with a mixture of various buildings.

The wooden long house where the orcs live, the low house built of stones by the werewolves, the tall spire church built by the elven craftsmen...

Before Carol approached the gate of the camp, a sharp warning sounded from a distance. Two valkyries with spears and bows and arrows on their backs rode griffins and approached the orcs from the left and right, ordering him to land immediately.

Watching the Valkyrie stretch her hand to the quiver, Carol gritted his teeth and slowly landed towards the square of the camp.

Stopping the Griffin at the feet of a black dragon statue that was several tens of meters high, Carol jumped off the back of the mount, opened his arms, and signaled that he was not carrying any weapons.

"You made a mistake."

A Valkyrie pointed at Carol's nose with the tip of a spear, and shouted: "Leave your post without permission, rush into the market, and **** the griffin! Either one can sentence you to a heavy sentence!"

Carol lowered his arm and said in a deep voice, "I heard that some people in the Crusade have arrested my partner...Barbara and Randall..."

The Valkyrie who spoke before was taken aback, then exchanged a look with her companion, then looked at Carroll and asked: "This is the purpose of your coming here?"

"Yes."

The two Valkyrie glances at each other.

One of them said: "You can return to your companion now, but your crime will be judged later!"

Carol nodded indifferently, and strode towards the temple of the camp.

Stepping into the Temple of the Dragon God in the middle of the camp, Carol first saw a sea of ​​alien races.

Orcs, werewolves, elves, dwarves, tauren...Members of many races gathered in the hall of the temple in a hustle and bustle, talking cautiously.

"I have always wondered before, why would the Crusaders tolerate the existence of a human?"

"The bloodlines of the members of the Crusade Army have all gone through the purification ritual. We should not leave the old species of human beings among us."

"I heard that an elven woman fell in love with that human crusade."

"Fall in love with humans? Don't those stupid elves still wake up? Isn't the previous elves named Jacqueline the best example?"

"Pay attention to your words! If you dare to insult our race again, I will appeal and arbitrate to the rally!"

Listening to the gossip coming from his ears, Carol clenched his fists, the green veins on his forehead undulating, and the whole person was like a gunpowder keg that would explode at any time.

Through the crowded crowd, Carroll came to the front of the hall of the temple.

The five shamans, including Minnie, sat at the bottom of the dragon **** statue, looking at the audience, their faces dignified and silent.

Between the shaman and the crowd, there was an area that was specifically cleared out, and the two factions were separated from each other on the left and right, facing each other there.

The faction on the left has a large number of people, roughly speaking, there are also 20 or 30 people, most of them are elves, and there are a few tauren and dwarves.

On the right, there are only two lonely people, Randall and Barbara.

Because of the anger, the light blue pattern on Barbara's whole body flickered like a stream of light, and her two pointed ears were closed back. Whether it was movement or expression, it looked like a cat with its tail stepped on.

"Who I fall in love with, who I want to be with, this is my business!" Barbara waved her arms, lit a light on her fingertips, and shouted angrily: "I don't understand at all, today's What is the significance of the trial?!"

At the end of the elven crowd on the left, a woman walked out, slowly came to the middle, and looked at Barbara's eyes, filled with endless sadness and sorrow.

Seeing this woman, Barbara widened her eyes and said softly: "You are Jacqueline, the one who was deceived by humans..."

Compared to the past, Jacqueline looked thinner and paler, and the blue markings on her body were dull and dull. She said to Barbara: "My sister, the same look and the same words are on you. Seeing your past self, you are making all my mistakes..."

Barbara frowned and said, "I'm not like you..."

"I said the same at the time. I am not the same as those of my clan, and my love is not the same as those of human beings. Our love is pure and noble, and should not be stigmatized and questioned... But in the end, it is again. How?"

Jacqueline lost his blood on her face, and her whole body was shaky, relying on the support of a fellow elf behind her to prevent her from falling to the ground.

"Human beings who have not undergone the purification ritual, selfish, cruel, and deceitful thoughts are buried in their blood and soul, and it is impossible to disappear! This is their inherent defect! It is also a nature that can never be changed!"

Jacqueline stretched her hand to Barba: "My sister, look at me, see how miserable I am now... wake up, it's not too late..."

Barbara took a step back, shook her head and said: "I am different from you..."

Randall walked forward, protected Barbara with his body, and said in a deep voice, "This dispute is caused by me. You shouldn't be against her."

Hearing the human voice for the first time, the elves were angry and yelled at Randall.

An old elven shaman sitting in the first place, slowly stood up, reached out his hand to stop the accusations of his clan, and slowly said to Randall: "There is a rumor in the Holy Order that before the transformation ceremony , There are a group of children chosen by God first, including Barbara. Is there such a thing?"

Recalling Wayne Dunlop’s human experiments back then, Randall nodded and said: “Yes, there are three of the earliest Crusaders, one of them is Barbara.”

Elf old shaman closed his eyes and nodded: "It turns out that the rumors are true. I heard that although you are a human, you are very close to the three holy troops. Isn't this true?"

"Yes, the three priests, including Barbara, are my companions, my best friends, and my life and death friends."

The old elven shaman suddenly opened his eyes and snarled at Randall, "Then, why don't you participate in the purification ritual and join the ranks of the priests?!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was stunned.

Even Barbara turned her head and looked at Randall, waiting for his answer.

Randall closed his eyes in pain, and the dream in the thick fog reappeared in his mind.

On the old tree with a crooked neck, the suspended feet swayed back and forth, and the rope bearing the corpse made a harsh creak.

The mother who committed suicide in despair opened her blood-red eyes, stared at her child, and screamed: "Why? Why did I give birth to you as a monster?! Why are you not a normal person?!"

Kissing!

The sense of guilt emerging from the depths of his soul made Randall tremble all over and he could not stand steady. He said in a shivering voice, "I can't do it."

Hearing this answer~lightnovelpub.net~ Barbara fell soft and sat on the ground, as if she had been drawn away from her body.

The old elven shaman turned around and returned to his seat: "Fear of the failure of the ritual? Fear of physical changes? Forget it, the reason is not important. You refuse the gift of God and the purification of the soul. This is your sin."

Barbara struggled to get up, stood in front of Randall, stared at the other person and said: "You have been running away from our feelings. Whenever I talk about the future, you always smile and turn away the topic... Actually , You don’t want to be with me at all, think I’m weird? Think I’m like a monster?"

Randall shook his head painfully, "No, it's not like you think... I love you, but I am guilty. I am not worthy of such a perfect you..."

The old elven shaman looked at each other for a moment, and said: "The matter is already very clear. A coward who is afraid of approaching God is not worth our effort to judge him..."

Before the words were over, a huge green figure quickly rushed to the platform and walked straight to Randall. Unexpectedly, he punched the frustrated human being!
