Chapter 60: Fina, the wound of the soul
The severe stinging pain made Fina wake up from her coma.
"here it is………"
She opened her eyes blankly and looked around. It looked like a prison, but it seemed different. The gentle holy light shot down from the ceiling, bringing a faint tranquility and peace. Fina loved this light very much when she was a human being. But at the moment, the originally sacred and gentle light tingled her body like a stream of flames. She tried to avoid the sacred light, but the strong chains restricted her movements. If it were the past, Fina could use the powerful power of the vampire to break free, but now, under the cover of the sacred light, the factors of the blood-sucking species have been completely suppressed. Now Fina is weak all over and is not much stronger than ordinary girls.
Fina thought about it carefully and soon thought of what had happened before. She had never expected that her former friend would sneak attack her in secret while she was unprepared.
"Did I care too much about the past?"
Thinking of this, Fina's heart was slightly sunk. Although she was no longer a priest, Fina never felt any pain when she lived in the temple before. She liked that time very much, happiness and beauty. But now things are different, and she is no longer a priest, or even a human being. But even so, Fina still missed the past. It was precisely because of this that she relaxed her vigilance when chatting with the priest. Otherwise, with Fina's current magical attainments, she would not have been able to not pay attention to the other party's secret magic attack.
"You have to leave here quickly..."
Fina quickly calmed down, she looked around uneasy, while carefully looking at the space where she was imprisoned, recalling carefully. But in Fina's memory, there was no similar room style. She had been in the temple for so long, but she had never seen such a place. What exactly is this? Why was she locked up here?
Fina's mind had just a question, and she immediately stopped thinking. Because she had already heard the footsteps from the corridor outside. Although most of her abilities as a blood-sucking species had been suppressed by the holy light, there were still some that could still function normally. After staying with Anjie for so long, even out of instinct, Fina easily heard the number of people from the slightest footsteps. Her body couldn't help but tense up. As a former member of the temple, Fina knew very well what such a lineup meant.
The door is open.
Five knights in heavy helmets walked into the room first, and they stared at the girl in front of them through their helmets. The serious and hatred eyes made Fina tremble slightly. She naturally recognized that these paladins were the most powerful guardians in the temple. It was obvious that when they appeared here, they meant that they had become the most important guardian in the temple.
After the five knights stood in their respective positions, a middle-aged man in white robe walked in. Behind him was Fina's former friend.
"Fina Alicia."
The middle-aged man looked at Fina who was tied up and spoke expressionlessly.
"What kind of evil is needed to make you fall into such a state as a pastor?!"
Fina trembled all over her body suddenly. She lowered her head, unwilling to face the sacred gaze of the middle-aged man. His expression looked like he was looking at a bug, an evil monster...
"I…………"
"What else do you have to say before the God of Justice?"
“……………………”
Fina was speechless.
Although she did not voluntarily become like this, no matter what she thought in her heart, she had become an immortal soul at this moment. She should have died long ago, instead of living like she is now. However, can her current state be called alive?
"Bishop Kelly."
At this moment, the girl who had been following the man and silently spoke. Her voice was calm and cold, and she had no feelings at all.
"Should we report to our superiors? They should handle this? After all, Fina......"
"Of course I have to report to my superiors."
For some reason, a smug smile was clearly revealed on the face of the bishop called Kelly.
"The waiter of God who they worked hard to cultivate turned into an undead creature. This time, I want to see how those guys should explain it."
""
Fina said nothing, and she was gradually beginning to understand why she was treated like this.
Although Fina herself has a gentle personality and is a little timid, she grew up in the temple after all, and she also has some understanding of some things in the temple. At present, the temple of the God of Justice is divided into two factions, especially in terms of the understanding of doctrine, and both sides have differences. One of them insists on "protecting goodness". In their opinion, as long as goodness still exists, justice will naturally exist. But the other side insists on "fighting evil". In their opinion, as long as all evil in the world is eliminated, the light of justice will naturally be peaceful.
It can be imagined that although they have noble goals, the methods of choosing between the two factions are completely opposite. Fina and Mina belong to the previous faction. They prefer to help others achieve their goals and have no interest in fighting.
Now, from the tone of this bishop, it is obvious that he belongs to the latter, and he may not have any good results if he falls into his hands.
"Raise your head, the dirty undead."
The bishop walked forward, pushed Fina's chin with the scepter in his hand, and forced the girl to raise her head.
"Do you have any sins that need to be forgiven in the light of justice? The evil man? But before that, I want to know more about how you fell into evil and became an undead."
"………………I have no idea."
Fina is indeed to be honest. Angela never told them how they became a bloodsucker. The secrets in this bloodsucker species are currently only lower vampires, and they have no right to know. However, the Bishop obviously did not like such an answer. He waved his cane hard and slapped at Fina's face.
"Bang!"
Accompanied by a crisp sound, Fina lowered her head. She opened her mouth wide, but could not make any sound. Although the bishop's own power was not effective in attacking the blood-sucking species, he was the waiter of God after all, and the sacred power mixed with was something that Fina could not bear.
"A lowly undead creature is still unwilling to reveal the truth under the brilliance of the great god? You were the pastor who served the gods before!"
“……………………”
Faced with the bishop's anger in front of him, Fina could no longer resist except gritting her teeth.
"Sir, will this be too......"
Looking at the scene in front of her, the girl priest showed a hint of unbearable expression. After all, she was her friend. Although the feedback she received clearly told the girl that Fina in front of her was no longer her friend, she was just an evil undead creature. However, even so, the girl still held a hint of fantasy. Perhaps, she did not become an undead creature, but was just controlled by someone... It was precisely because of this that she chose to knock down her friend and bring her to the temple, hoping that the gods could help her get rid of the shadow of evil.
"It's our duty, remember, my dear child."
The bishop once again lifted Fina's chin with his cane, allowing the girl priest to see her face clearly.
"Look clearly, she has given up the glory of being a human being and devoted to evil and death. No matter what she is doing, she has given up the honor of human beings. Now she is just a walking dead. Isn't we protecting human beings just to avoid the temptation and harm of evil? Or are you willing to watch those human beings give up their lives and become such dolls just for the immortality of nothingness?"
“……………………”
The female priest didn't say anything more. She stared at Fina, her expression became a little complicated, but in the end, she returned to her original indifference.
Fina closed her eyes and was unwilling to look at her expression again.
That was not the expression when she was gaze at her past friends, it was just contempt and hatred for the evil ones. At the same time, she also heard the cold and indifferent voice.
"Yes, as the Bishop said, the only thing we can do now is to free her."
“Master, how is it?”
Looking at Li Lin and Nia who came out of the temple, Anjiela asked in a angrily manner. Due to their natural characteristics, neither of them wanted to approach the temple full of sacred aura, so only Li Lin and Nia went in to see the situation. Fortunately, Li Lin was good at disguise, and Nia had "part-time" with the Saint, so she did not take too much time to find out Fina's situation. However, they did not rescue Fina, but chose to evacuate after observing it.
"It seems that the temple thinks Fina is a strange undead creature, so they plan to hand her over for treatment."
Li Lin's expression did not change much, while Angela raised her eyebrows.
"The stupid guy should be taught a lesson."
She snorted coldly.
"Did she think she is still a human? She has put aside her guard against others so easily. Since ancient times, there is only a dead end to not knowing how to protect her blood-sucking planting."
"Miss Angela...you..."
Mina wanted to say something, but Li Lin just made a gesture and stopped her from speaking.
To be honest, Li Lin did not want to lose Fina. Not to mention that it is indeed difficult to deal with a servant who helps them with chores, and Li Lin herself also has some selfish thoughts. After the revenge, the revival of the Magic Empire requires the assistance of many people, but not many people know about the knowledge of the Ancient Magic Empire. It is precisely because of this that Li Lin decided to teach Fina magic. In this way, not only can she become an assistant around her in the future, but she can also teach other people the knowledge of the Ancient Magic Empire on behalf of herself. In addition, Fina is very smart and has a good understanding of magic. It would be a pity if she lost her like this.
However, Li Lin could not rush into the temple directly and snatch her out, which was not in line with his style. Moreover, Li Lin did not want to turn against the temple so soon, nor did he want to be targeted by the temple.
"Let's leave the matter for now."
In the end, Li Lin made a decision.
"We have another way."
