The middle-aged man took out a pocket watch and looked at it. Seeing that it was almost time, he took a step forward and raised the circular badge with one hand. Suddenly, angry, hateful, and noisy people appeared in the square.

It suddenly became quiet, all at the same time.

"Poor sinner, you are deceived by the devil and want to gain evil power. Your body and soul are full of filth. Only the Holy Light can purify you. This is both the Lord's punishment and the Lord's gift. It is the Lord's response to the lost.

The forbearance of the Lamb.”

"Burn her, burn her!"

The people around were shouting loudly, and they were more excited than the church personnel. They were full of hatred for the mage, and their eyes were full of violence. Such ignorant people were really frightening. Ivan Vincent felt the truth for the first time.

The church is scary, and I feel how scary extreme beliefs are!

"Before purifying you, the tolerant and merciful Lord asked me to ask you one more question: Are you willing to repent? Sincere repentance can allow your soul to be completely purified and enter the kingdom of heaven where the Lord is."

The middle-aged man was an Episcopal priest. With fake compassion like crocodile tears, he asked the woman in black robe with an extremely gentle and compassionate tone, hoping to hear words of mercy from the magic apprentice.

The woman who had remained silent showed a change in her expression for the first time, with admiration and admiration on her face. She spoke to the middle-aged man with a smile in an extremely firm tone.

"What I pursue is the truth of magic, the reality of the world, and it is definitely not the false god of truth. Even if I am burned by this ruthless flame, I will never regret it. The truth will last forever and will not disappear because of my death. I

I believe that one day, the truth will come. At that time, the God of truth will fall, the kingdom of heaven will be destroyed, and the flame of truth will be burning in the church!"

"madman!"

"How evil!"

"The bishop's kindness actually resulted in a curse. These wizards who were blinded by the devil really deserve to die!"

"Burn her to death!"

The middle-aged man's face was extremely cold and his eyes were sharp. He stared at the woman in black robe with murderous intent. He raised the cross badge in his hand, and a bright light rose up, like a small sun, hot and dazzling.

Solemn and sacred, all the people around lowered their heads and prayed devoutly, with a bit of fanaticism.

"Repent! Sinner, you will be purified by the Holy Light and go to hell!"

The middle-aged man's voice was so loud that it made his ears feel pain. It was full of indifference and aloof, like a god who dominated all living things. The light shining above the cross badge flew into the air and was about to fall towards the firewood piled around the cross.

go.

The woman in black robe closed her beautiful eyes, her face was pale, and her body was trembling slightly. She was just a young girl. She was just young. How could she not be greedy for the world? But she had her own belief in her heart. That belief was not the God of Truth, but the God of Truth.

Magical truth, even if it costs her life, she will not regret it.

"It's really frustrating!"

"Ivan's trick!"

Ivan Vincent lowered his head and said impatiently. He still could not stand by and watch indifferently. Although this woman in black robe was of low strength and was only a magic apprentice, she had a firm belief and resolutely pursued the truth of magic. She was the same as Ivan.

Vincent is the same person, like-minded,

Even if they were the same kind, even if they met by chance, the less he wanted to watch such a young and beautiful woman being burned alive by the ignorant and overbearing church, he couldn't help but take action. First, he used an illusion spell to cover up his appearance.

appearance, so as not to reveal your identity later.

"Natural Wind Blade!"

A low voice sounded in front of the church, and sharp wind blades appeared out of thin air. This was a first-level elemental spell. After being modified and perfected by Ivan Vincent, its power was comparable to that of a second-level spell.

These sharp wind blades were extremely fast. The wind blades cut through the air and made a whooshing sound. They slashed towards the steps of the church almost instantly, heading towards the bishop and the priest guards behind him.

"ah!"

"The evil witch actually has an accomplice, everyone, run for your lives!"

Suddenly, the scene was in chaos. The people seemed to be frightened by this scene. Rats ran around like crazy and ran around. It was a mess and noisy.

The middle-aged man is a third-level bishop priest. Although his spellcasting level is higher than that of Ivan Vincent, Ivan Vincent's strength cannot be limited by his magic level. The middle-aged man faces Ivan Vincent's strength.

Attacking and responding hastily, the light shining above the cross badge suddenly changed and turned into a light shield blocking the body.

"Bang bang bang!"

Dozens of wind blades pierced the light shield and shattered upon impact, but hundreds more wind blades emerged from the void and continued to rush towards the light shield.

Although this light shield was a three-ring divine magic, a shield of holy light, it still could not stop the continuously evolving wind blades. Under the attack of the wind blades, it turned into light spots and dissipated.

Although Ivan Vincent can only cast second-level magic now, his mental power and soul are extremely powerful, which allows second-level spells to exert the power of third-level magic, and the number range has also increased.

The middle-aged men, priests and guards quickly dodged, and countless wind blades were shot at the steps they were standing on, causing stone chips and dust to fly.

"Bold, evil sinner, you dare to commit violence in front of the church. The Lord will not forgive you!"

The middle-aged man dodged the wind blade in embarrassment. The cross badge in his hand shone with rich holy light and turned into light armor to wrap him tightly. He looked at Ivan Vincent's position angrily.

At this time, Ivan Vincent was completely wrapped in a large black robe, and his appearance had changed. He looked like a red-haired man in his thirties, with a heroic appearance and a calm temperament. He exuded a powerful and terrifying aura.

Momentum, faint black mist is wrapped around it, it is Yin

The power of shadow is a kind of dark power. This black mist is more like a breath of death. Just seeing it will cause fear in my heart. Horrifying illusions emerge in my mind. This is Ivan

.Vinson combined the necromancy and illusion systems to create the fog of death.

The middle-aged man was unprepared and fell into the trap. He fell into a hallucination and was unable to escape for a while. Ivan Vincent quickly used magic to save the black-robed woman. Under the obstruction of other priests and guards, he used magic to clear the way.

, escaped in an instant, and disappeared in a flash.

After Ivan Vincent escaped with this magic apprentice, he used the escape route he had left in this area to sneak out of Alto City, not daring to stay in the city for a moment.

He was able to successfully save people this time because the location he was in was a slum area and the church was not powerful enough. The most powerful person was the middle-aged man, a third-level bishop and priest.

Alto City is the capital of the Violet Principality and a strategic location in the northwest of the church. There is a Holy Spirit Priest in the church in the city. He is a legendary priest and the top of the mainland pyramid. If this Holy Spirit Priest is alerted, even if

Even Ivan Vincent can't resist.

Outside a small town a hundred miles away from Alto City, Ivan Vincent still looked shrouded in black robes and gave instructions in a calm voice to the woman in black robes in front of him.

"You'd better leave Alto City as soon as possible. I can save you once. The southern continent is a territory ruled by the church and is not suitable for magicians to live. You can go to the Kingdom of Holm in the north. That is the kingdom of magic and the truth.

Heaven is more suitable for you to study magic!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without stopping at all, acting extremely indifferent and seemingly unkind.

The woman in black robe stared blankly at Ivan Vincent's leaving figure. She did not expect that Ivan Vincent would leave like this. When she came to her senses, she shouted anxiously.

"Mr. Magician, my name is Emma, ​​can you tell me your name?"

Ivan Vincent stopped and looked back at the woman in black robe. His voice was still calm, without any ups and downs. This voice was disguised. It was a small magic trick. It was considered a zero-level magic that could change the frequency of the sound.

.

"Magicians living in the territory of the Southern Church should know how to hide themselves and not tell others their names casually!"

"Obviously you didn't understand this. Now I finally understand why you were caught. You really lacked caution and vigilance!"

The black-robed woman's expression froze. She was not really a fool. She was exposed for this reason. She was just unlucky and made some noise while doing magic experiments. The night watchman of the church happened to hear it, so she was exposed.

, but there is no need to say these.

"I just want to know the name of my savior. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you!"

Emma's pretty face is full of seriousness. She is a person who knows how to repay kindness. She understands how much risk Ivan Vincent took to save him. If he is not careful, he will be caught.

Burned together on the cross.

Ivan Vincent paused after hearing this and hesitated for a moment. It was impossible for him to tell the magic apprentice in front of him his true identity. It wasn't that he didn't trust Emma, ​​but there was no need to take this risk. Behind him was the Vincent family.

There cannot be any omissions in existence, but he is not willing to deceive Emma. He admires Emma who insists on the truth of magic, otherwise he would not save people.

"I don't want to lie to you. Keeping your identity secret is a prerequisite for a magician to survive in this land. It cannot be exposed, even to the same kind!"

"You can call me by my codename, Truth!"

"Truth?"

Emma's face was moved. Magicians are a group of people who pursue the truth of the world. The code name of truth is very suitable. She nodded and solemnly remembered this code name in her heart.

"I love my teacher, and I love the truth even more!"

"Magicians are a group of people who tirelessly pursue the truth. I hope you can remember the words you said on the stake, pursue the truth and persist in the truth throughout your life, even if you repay my kindness for saving you!"

Before he finished speaking, Ivan Vincent's figure disappeared from Emma's eyes, leaving only Emma mumbling to herself.

"I will do it. I will pursue the truth of magic throughout my life in the kingdom of magic, the paradise of truth, and never give up!"

When Ivan Vincent returned to Vincent Manor as if nothing had happened, the entire city of Alto was under martial law. Ivan Vincent's action angered the church. This was the first time that a magician was so bold and dared to do so.

He attacked his companions during the day, causing numerous commotions and even alerting the Cardinal, the Holy Spirit Priest Salde.

This cardinal, the legendary priest is the presiding officer of the Church of Truth in the Principality of Violet. He has been living a semi-hermit life, staying in the deepest part of the Alto Monastery to practice asceticism.

This 200-year-old priest is a strong man in the legendary field of this world, and he is one of the group of people who stand at the pinnacle of the world. There are not many such figures in the Cult of Truth. It is said that among all the cardinals, there are only a dozen or so.

There are probably no more than twenty Holy Spirit Priests, even if you include the heads of some knights affiliated to the church, the giants of the Inquisition, the leaders of the ascetic monks, etc. You must know that the Cult of Truth is the largest in the world, including other dimensions.

power.

From this we can see how noble the status of this Holy Spirit priest is. Even if Grand Duke Violet sees him, he must salute and maintain enough respect.

Ivan Vincent ate dinner with Count Vincent as if nothing had happened. Count Vincent looked a little heavy, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he didn't know how to eat, as if he had encountered something troublesome.
