Chapter 121: Have you ever been to Shura Field before?

“Hey, Young Master, we are Hall’s two subordinates.”

“It’s fine, the two departments of Sigurd.”

He had to pull Lov, who was still confused, for a moment.

Because Hall had never expected his own cousin to appear at this time!

“Saintess Candidate Christine,” from afar, he could hear her greeting.

It seemed Himan hadn’t noticed him.

So, Hall was temporarily safe.

He pulled Lov and moved towards the third and fourth-class carriages’ area on the platform.

The people getting off and waiting for the train here had not been noticed by Himan.

“Did you protect Miss Christine?”

A deputy knight captain should be in the station.

With that, Lov hid in the crowd first.

His own cousin was actually here at this time.

“Hello, what a coincidence.”

He could also hear Himan’s surprise towards Christine.

So he wasn’t afraid for the time being.

He turned to observe the situation over there.

Lov also looked over there, covering her small mouth in surprise.

Himan had taken the Holy Train from Saint Louis yesterday morning, and when it stopped at Saint Olan, due to the recent attack on a Saintess Candidate, the Holy Train would now specifically be guarded when entering the station.

After reporting, there would be a certain degree of escort, so when the train arrived at the imperial capital of Bal, it was exactly the right time.

And because of her special status, she had also specially gone to see Andre and handed over the gifts for Duke Faxtius to the brigadier general.

And she had even complained to Andre.

It was because of this complaint that Andre had keenly noticed that something was wrong.

In his impression, Himan and Hall’s relationship was quite good.

Although the Young Master’s reputation had been bad these past few years, it wasn’t to the point where such an important matter would be handled this way.

Himan had also told Andre that she was here in the Bal Empire to carry out a mission to investigate the previous attack on the Bal Saintess Candidate.

Then, since it was the same matter, why hadn’t Hall told Himan?

Logically, Himan should have been with Hall.

With a soldier’s instinct and sense of secrecy, Andre had also said, “Maybe the Young Master is also on an important secret mission for the knightly order?”

Anyway, he hadn’t revealed any information about Hall to Himan.

But seeing Himan’s gloomy and appetite-less appearance, Andre felt a little sorry for her.

After all, when Himan was a child, Andre, like most of the Faxtius family’s relatives, had thought that little Himan would be a future Faxtius.

As for not reporting to Himan when going on a long trip.

Seeing Himan’s appearance, his heart ached for her.

So, when Himan was leaving, he said, “Maybe the Young Master needed to bring his own maid for his secret mission? And he’s afraid of implicating you?”

Although he really wanted to refute and say what kind of secret mission required bringing one’s own maid.

But considering that Lov might just have gone back to her hometown to visit her relatives.

Himan’s mood calmed down a bit.

Come to think of it, if Hall hadn’t notified Leticia of his trip, from Himan’s perspective, Leticia was the most likely one to steal him away.

On the day of the engagement, Hall had gone to find Leticia.

This time he hadn’t, and Ye Wangxue and Lorraine were at home.

It was impossible for him to elope with a maid.

What was Hall’s purpose in eloping?

If he really wanted something to happen with Lov, it could have happened long ago.

After coming to this conclusion, Himan felt much better.

She even felt motivated to do things.

When she set off from Saint Olan, she felt that something good would happen again.

Then she saw the bustling crowd at the station.

When she first got off the train, she was a little confused, thinking some duke or noble was here.

She also had some understanding of the nobles of the Bal Empire, especially the eldest princess Frida, who was hailed as the most self-reliant human woman in the Western Continent.

If you were to talk about Her Majesty of Cateline, that was already in the non-human category.

The Eternal Winter bloodline and the rules in that bloodline had a bit of a mythological color.

So this time, when she came to the Bal Empire, besides investigating the attack on the Bal Saintess Candidate and the possible relationship between Hall and the vampires, she also planned to meet that eldest princess and ask her for some advice on politics.

But she found that it was Christine who was here, so she went over to greet her.

“Long time no see, Saintess Candidate Christine.”

“Long time no see, Miss Himan.”

From the moment Christine discovered Hall running away with Lov, until Himan greeted her, her expression had not changed a bit.

She just smiled warmly at the people.

“Are you here to do missionary work? It must be very hard.”

“Yes, and is Miss Himan here to do something?”

The somewhat solemn and limited distribution of tasks to the White Knights.

“I have a mission from the White Knights to do.”

“By the way, I just saw a back that looked a bit like Hall, Saintess Candidate Christine.”

But she didn’t think Hall would be here at this early time.

He must be sleeping with some woman.

‘Tsk tsk tsk.’

“Baron Hall? I don’t know. I wanted to meet him during the New Year, but something happened. I haven’t seen him for a month.”

Christine’s eyes showed a hint of loneliness.

Seeing this, Himan felt a little soft-hearted.

This cousin of hers, even a Saintess Candidate was smitten.

Originally, Himan should have been angry, but inexplicably, that angry emotion was gone.

It was just a calm statement, “I will find him, Saintess Candidate Christine.”

“Oh? Does Miss Himan have any related clues now?”

Christine showed a curious expression.

Himan said a little awkwardly.

“Not at the moment. I have to carry out my mission first.”

“Oh, I see.”

Hearing Christine smile a little, she clasped her hands on her left chest, “May the Lord guide you, Miss Himan. Then the train is about to depart again, and I will be leaving the imperial capital.”

“Yes, Saintess Candidate Christine, farewell.”

Himan felt a little awkward.

Why was Christine so amiable today?

No, that’s not right.

In her impression, Christine had always been a very kind girl.

Her impression of Christine had changed because of her involvement with Hall a while ago.

Right, why was it that as long as a girl was involved with Hall, her impression of them in her heart would change?

They were all very outstanding girls.

Whether it was Himan, Christine, or Julia, or even Ye Wangxue, whom she had always thought of as a spy.

They were all very outstanding girls.

But after getting involved with Hall, she gradually felt that they were not worthy of Hall.

It should be that Hall was not worthy of them.

Hmph, he just affects her mood.

She would first go to the royal family of the Bal Empire to report and meet Princess Frida.

As Christine watched the blonde female knight leave, she turned around.

She locked onto him in the crowd.

Then she raised her eyebrows.

Hall, as if he had received a secret signal, also looked over.

“Young Master, was that Miss Himan just now?”

“Yes, it was her.”

“Should we hide from her?”

“Anyway, I didn’t tell her about this trip. If she catches me, I’ll definitely get an earful. Besides, if she knew I was going to Sunset City, she would definitely be very against it. It’s best if she doesn’t know.”

Hall replied to Lov.

Lov nodded in deep agreement.

Then they returned to Christine’s side.

The train, after a brief stop, was preparing to depart.

The carriage they were in this time was a special one.

But the tickets they had actually bought were for the fourth class.

This was to prevent what had happened to Ilora.

And their destination this time was the third-largest city in the Bal Empire—Wolfsburg.

Wolfsburg was a city not far from the border of the Cateline Kingdom.

The scale of this town ranked third in Bal.

A thousand years ago, it was a military fortress.

It was used to exile prisoners to the bitter cold north, which is now the Cateline Kingdom.

It was also used to resist the invasion of other races.

After the Demon God died, the first Winter Saintess established the Kingdom of Cateline, further compressing the territory of the surviving Demon Lords.

Here, it gradually began to develop into a normal city.

And the trade with the Cateline Kingdom made the economy take off rapidly.

But problems also followed.

That was when Wolfsburg was expanding its urban area, it had encroached on a part of the Cateline Kingdom’s territory.

The population of Cateline was mainly composed of two parts.

One was the indigenous people who had lived in Cateline during the Demon God era.

The other was the people of Bal who couldn’t survive in their own country and had followed the Winter Saintess.

No matter how you put it, these two sides were not on very good terms with the Bal Empire.

So in the past thousand years, Wolfsburg had not been very peaceful.

On the surface, it was a city of Bal, but there were also secret societies formed by the people of Cateline.

The boss of the gang formed by the people of Cateline—Morivec—was meeting with the local church’s Bishop Wang.

“Bishop Wang, why do you have time to see me today?”

Morivec was wearing a black trench coat.

He was a rather sturdy man with a somewhat fierce face.

But as the person who had gradually integrated the nearly a hundred gangs of various sizes in Wolfsburg and the nearby cities in the past ten years, his methods were unquestionable.

In terms of strength, it was said that someone had seen him kill a nearly seventy-level monster with one blow.

He had received the honor of the [Throne of the Ice] in his early years.

But on the surface, with his many halos, Morivec was actually just the second-in-command.

His real big boss was the godfather of the entire Cateline gang.

Six years ago, the godfather had cooperated with someone from the Salvation Church to accelerate the settlement of the chaos in Wolfsburg and repel the encroaching forces of the other bosses in the Cateline Kingdom.

Therefore, he had gained enough prestige in the Cateline Kingdom and had truly become this acting godfather three years ago.

“I have a big deal that I want to entrust to your gang.”

The white-robed Bishop Wang ordered the guard in the white Silver Knight uniform to open a box.

The box was filled with sparkling gold coins.

Just a rough estimate, there were nearly ten thousand.

“This is the deposit, big boss.”

Although he was the boss of Wolfsburg, he still showed some respect to the local bishop.

“Whose life does Bishop Wang want to buy?”

Morivec had his subordinate light a cigar for him.

This was a big business.

He had long known that the local Bishop Wang would surely bring him a big business.

And what he desired even more was that the church and the government of Bal were not on very good terms.

If the church cooperated with them, Wolfsburg could be considered half a Cateline city.

“Not buying a life, just injuring someone will do. Of course, you can also buy a person’s life. It’s up to your gang to choose.”

“Oh?”

Morivec knew this bishop was a bit of a riddle-master.

He said, “Just say it directly. In my Wolfsburg, unless it’s a military gang, even the deputy mayor, I can get rid of him if the church doesn’t interfere.”

Hearing this, the white-robed bishop just shook his head and said, “It might be even more difficult than the deputy mayor. The people who are making a move on the Frida faction, that madwoman might lead a large army out. Moving him would be too costly.”

Morivec was in a difficult position.

He didn’t dare to touch the mayor.

He had not been able to outplay the government even after integrating so many gangs.

And the other party even intended to provide weapons and equipment to secretly support the local gangs of Bal to resist them.

“Big boss is overthinking it. The person we want to injure is the Saintess Candidate—Christine.”

“Christine, that’s Cardinal Roan’s person…”

Morivec found it difficult.

Roan’s sphere of influence was not here, and he was also a very dangerous cardinal.

Although he was not afraid of this distant cardinal, he also felt a deep sense of reverence.

“That’s right. But the one who is doing this is Cardinal Saint Gregory. Cardinal Saint Gregory won’t make us the scapegoat, will he?”

“How could that be? You are the people of Cateline. In Cateline, the influence of the church is far inferior to the empress’s. Whether it is Cardinal Saint Gregory or Cardinal Roan, they cannot have a substantial influence on you. So this matter is most suitable for you to do.”

The white-robed bishop said faintly.

It seemed he saw that Morivec still had a layer of concern and continued.

“Christine is not bringing many guards on this trip. And because of the recent vampire and cultist attacks, they will focus their defense on West Town. Archbishop Malik has gone there, and the only guard who has come to Wolfsburg is a so-called William.”

“We judge that this William’s strength will not exceed eighty at most. He may carry a weapon that can restrain monsters and cults, but you should not be afraid. You have two choices: injure Christine, or kill this William. Both will be considered as completing the commission.”

After the bishop finished speaking.

Morivec fell into a long period of thought.

Injuring a Saintess Candidate would attract the cardinal’s revenge.

Although the sky was high and the emperor was far away, it was not safe.

Comparatively, the deposit of nearly ten thousand gold coins, and there would surely be tens of thousands of gold coins in the follow-up.

And doing this for the church could also bring them closer.

As for a Saintess Candidate’s guard, if he died, he died.

Who wasn’t a high-level cannon fodder, as long as it wasn’t the cardinal’s own deputy knight captain?

“Alright, we’ll take it. Before this mission is completed and we leave Wolfsburg, we will definitely give the bishop an explanation.”

“That’s good. Saintess Candidate Christine’s train will arrive at seven in the evening. She will stay in Wolfsburg for at most three days. I hope you will seize the opportunity as soon as possible.”

The local bishop of Wolfsburg finished speaking and left the room.

Then he reported the situation to Archbishop Otto, who was far away in the imperial capital, with magic.

The other party replied with great satisfaction.

—Let Christine stay in Wolfsburg for as long as possible. I also have to go to West Town to see what Malik is doing.

“Baron Hall, have you been to Wolfsburg before?”

“I don’t think so.”

“But I feel like I’ve been here before. I was also on a Holy Train, looking at the silver wilderness outside the window.”

At this moment, the sky was gradually getting dark.

The train would arrive at its destination in an hour.

And because it was heading north, the scenery in January was only a large expanse of snow.

“Is that so?”

Hall actually also had a sense of déjà vu.

Especially when he turned his head and saw Christine, who was sitting by the window with her chin propped up, lazily looking out.

This scene might have happened before his eyes at some point.

Perhaps, he and Christine had also taken a Holy Train and traveled in the northern region.

But at that time, he should have only been thirteen or fourteen, or even younger.

…

He knew that he had a fateful connection with Sophia’s sister, and then they had come to the north together.

He and Christine had taken a Holy Train and come to the north.

Then add to that the fact that Sophia had specially invited him and Christine to the banquet.

This made Hall immediately have a terrifying guess.

Damn it?

Had there been a shura field before?

Christine’s passive in the game, which would make him only be able to go on Christine’s route, otherwise he would be stabbed.

Then the Elizabeth who had died in the game but was still alive in this world, did she count as a heroine?

Hall’s back went cold.

After all, there were also players on the game forums who discussed which of Sophia’s and Christine’s mythic-grade weapons was better, and what would happen if the two of them fought at the same level.

Could Christine eliminate the after-effects of being attacked by the Eternal Winter Sacred Sword, and other situations?

Anyway, it was like Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong, and everyone had their own say.

Some said Sophia’s swordsmanship was strong, with high burst damage.

Some said Christine’s ability to ignore abnormal statuses and her continuous navigation were stronger.

But Hall now suspected, what if Christine had really fought with Elizabeth?

From Sophia’s performance and language, Elizabeth had disappeared, and he could now judge that Christine had lost her memory.

Coincidentally, he had also lost his memory.

“…No way, it shouldn’t be. If it is, then why did I lose my memory?”

From the symptoms, Hall felt that he and Christine should have received the same threat.

But Elizabeth alone shouldn’t have been able to beat the two of them, right?

That was a five-sided warrior paired with the strongest support C.

“Young Master, what’s wrong?”

Lov saw that Hall had something on his mind.

She could even see the sweat on his forehead.

“Nothing.”

Hall and Christine handed him half an orange they had boiled.

“We’re about to arrive. Get ready.”

At the same time.

In the royal city of the imperial capital of Bal.

Parousia was about to go and see the eldest princess Frida.

But when she arrived outside the other party’s palace, she was stunned.

Because the wind brought Hall’s aura.

Although she was not sensitive to magic auras, she still had the usual level of a vampire for biological auras.

Then.

She saw the blonde, white-stockinged female knight.

The two of them looked at each other, sizing each other up in the dim night.

“Are you also here to find Princess Frida?”

Himan asked first.
