Chapter 39 You are also afraid of the Church, right?
"You…" Lathel was about to say something when Lafien's voice rang out again.
"Do you dare yell at me?!" Lafien angrily shouted: "I am the captain of the church's law enforcement team - Lafien, no one has ever dared to yell at me."
"Even the Saintess has never yelled at me, how dare you yell at me? I… I…"
Lathel: "…"
'She introduced herself already.' Lathel felt a bit of a headache.
On the surface it seemed like Lafien was a cold fighting machine, but in reality she was... a bit of an idiot.
No, she was very stupid.
"AAA!!! Dirty man. Dirty monsters, in the name of the gods, I will judge you."
"Wait! Stop, we're still in the cab." Lathel was startled when she saw Lafien raise her arms, a spear of light appearing in her hand.
"Judgment on you!" Lafien threw out her hand but the spear was still in her hand.
"Heh?!" Lafien was startled.
Lathel held her forehead: "Are you stupid? You cannot harm me or Charlotte."
"AAA! I don't believe it. I will judge you… judge you."
"Oy! Oy! Don't swing such a dangerous thing around! Ah! It's about to explode, hurry up, throw it away!"
"I… I can't throw it."
"Then quickly eliminate it, it is your magic."
"I can't eliminate it either."
"AAA!!! Are you stupid?
"You dare scold me…"
"I said throw it away! Hurry up!"
"I also said I couldn't throw it, it is like it's stuck on my hand."
"Throw it away!"
"I can't!"
BAM!
…
On the wide road lined with marble leading to the capital of the Karol empire, a group of people could be seen walking, their clothes were all burned, making it a bit difficult for them to walk.
No, in reality there were only two people walking, and a little girl was lying on a man's back.
That's right, it was Lathel, Lafien and Charlotte.
Only Lafien and Lathel had burned clothes, while Charlotte was completely unaffected.
After all, they are Half-Vampires, their healing ability is extremely powerful, and even a small wound will quickly heal.
Charlotte was a pureblood Vampire, and also their master, so Lafien's attacks have absolutely no effect on her.
Cauldron had shrunk to the size of a thumb, and was now hooked to the back of Lathel's pants.
When Lathel saw that the city wall was more than 10 meters in front of her he breathed a sigh of relief: "i have finally arrived." Thanks to someone, I had to walk for almost a day looking like a beggar."
"You… try saying it again." Lafien was angry, her chest was heaving and due to this her burned dress revealed some wonderful white skin.
Lathel angrily shouted: "Do you think I dare not say anything? Because of your stupidity, we had to walk all day to get here."
"If you don't want to ride in a carriage, you can walk. You destroyed that carriage, I must both apologize to the owner of the carriage and compensate him."
"In addition, I had to walk more than 10 kilometers to get here, while carrying a little girl on my back. Do you think I want to walk?"
"Listen carefully, you… stupid, ugly woman, your brain has no wrinkles."
Lafien clenched her teeth, she didn't know what 'brain without wrinkles' meant, she only understood the previous words. But she was sure that statement was also cursing her.
"I will judge you!" Lafien shouted.
"Ah!?Try to judge me."
"You…" Lafien was so angry that her face turned red, but she knew she couldn't harm Charlotte or Lathel.
In the end, she swallowed that anger inside and said coldly: "Huh! When I return to the church, I will take you to the guillotine and cut off your head."
"Good! Now go back to the church immediately, I'll sit here and wait for you."
"You…" Lafien gritted her teeth. In fact, she also couldn't return to the church because she was ashamed.
She came to assist Lizaru's group in retrieving the stone, in the end she was unable to retrieve the stone. On the contrary, she became a Half-Vampire.
Lathel saw Lafien's lips pursed tightly, her eyes wet as if he was bullying her, so he sighed.
"Okay, calm down and listen to me."
Lathel felt that a woman's most terrible weapon is her tears. As soon as Lafien's tears appeared, he immediately couldn't get angry.
"I will ask you questions you will answer."
Lafien bit her lip and nodded slightly.
"What is your name?" Even though Lathel already knew Lafien's name, he still decided?to ask her.
"Lafien."
"What organization are you from?"
"church."
Lathel used two fingers to rub his temples, as he felt a bit of a headache: "Second sister, is it okay if I call you second sister? I've agreed to talk to you, can you at least talk properly?"
Lafien bit her lip, she took a breath and said: "I am Lafien, captain of the Church's law enforcement team."
"Um… this is ok." Lathel nodded: "Let's go over there and talk."
Hearing that, Lafien looked around, there were indeed many people around. After all, this was the main road leading to the capital of the Karol Empire.
Lafien nodded, then she and Lathel walked to the shade of a tree on the side of the road, where they?rested and continued talking.
"So… what is your purpose?"
Lafien thought for a moment, she stared at Lathel, wanting to speak but then remained silent.
Lathel sighed: "Lafien, like I said, we are on the same boat. If we don't cooperate then I don't want to keep you here."
"A little trust in each other, don't you have it too?"
Lafien bowed her head and said: "I... I came to help my subordinates, ensure that they can bring that stone back to the Church."
"Stone? You mean a five-colored elemental stone, right?"
"You know the?stone?" Lafien said in surprise, her eyes suddenly turned sharp as she stared at Lathel.
Lathel shook his head: "If I said I didn't know what that stone was, I only heard those people mention it, would you believe me?"
Lafien stared at Lathel, her eyes filled with scrutiny, but she felt that Lathel probably didn't really carry that stone with him.
However, she was still a little skeptical.
"Do you know the shape or use of that stone?"
Hearing Lathel's question, Lafien gritted her teeth and shook her head.
"Will anyone know what that stone looks like?"
"I don't know what the use or shape of that stone is, only a few people know."
"Ah! No one knows the use or shape of that stone, why do you think I was the one who took it?"
Lafien frowned, she thought for a moment then said: "Then... I will use detection magic on you. Do you dare to let me use magic on you?"
Lathel immediately nodded: "Of course."
Lafien clasped her hands together and muttered some kind of language. Then, a diamond-shaped magic symbol appeared between her hands.
"Hold out your hand."
Lathel obeyed, reaching out his right hand towards Lafien.
Lafien gently placed her hand, accompanied by a magical seal, on Lathel's hand.
Their hands touched, and suddenly, Lafien's heartbeat accelerated, startling her.
'What? I… why do I feel a little shy?' Lafien didn't understand what was happening to her.
But when her hand touched Lathel's, it was as if an electric current stimulated her brain and heart, startling her.
Lafien's face was a little red, but she quickly calmed down and focused on casting her magic.
Lathel was also extremely nervous at this time. Even though he had the Sheath skill (B), he didn't know whether his skill could hide his true power or not.
If Lafien's magic was of a higher level than his skills, he was afraid...
A moment later, Lafien frowned, pursed his lips, and canceled the magic.
"What's wrong?"
Lafien shook his head: "You're nothing special. You really didn't keep the stone."
Lathel breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: "I told you, how could an ordinary person like me get something important to the Church?"
Lafien also felt thst this was extremely reasonable, while thinking in her heart: 'Saintess said that no one can absorb that stone except that person.'
'Even though Lathel absorbed that stone, he only possesses one talent, Earth elemental (F). If he absorbed a normal five-colored elemental stone, he wouldn't be that weak.'
'My magic can also be attributed to the entire pocket of space he is holding. Maybe… Lathel is right, he doesn't have that stone.'
Lafien sighed: "I trust you for now."
"Good!" Lathel smiled happily: "Next question, why don't you return to the church, why do you follow me?"
"Let alone the fact that you need Charlotte to continue living, is there no way for the church to save you?"
Lafien nodded slightly: "Actually... I... I'm too embarrassed, I don't dare return to the church."
Lathel: "…"
'Is your honor more important than your life?' He thought to himself, but he didn't want to say it out aloud.
"Besides… the church has no way to save me other than… killing me."
"Hm?! Would they do that?"
Lafien gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Hahaha… it seems, the Church is not a good organization either. It's just an organization with an extremist ideology."
"I will not allow you to speak ill of the Church!" Lafien suddenly shouted.
Her voice was so loud that it made people walking on the street pay attention to them.
Lafien blushed, bowed her head, and muttered: "The Church just wants to purge all filth."
"Ah! That's why they will kill you, even though you have been loyal and served them all your life? Lathel laughed, his voice carrying a bit of contempt.
"I also find it strange, your church has probably existed for a long time, right?"
"Yes, the church has existed for a long time, at least more than 10,000 years." Lafien said proudly.
Lathel nodded and said: "Um, an organization that has existed for more than 10,000 years, but has no way to solve your problem, do you think there is any meaning in returning to the church?"
"If the church is as good as you say, why don't you return to the church, let them protect you, let them find ways to help you?"
"Lafien, be honest with yourself. Currently, you are also afraid of the Church, right?"
