The One Hundred and Fortieth Section: The Female Fanatic

  When people encounter happy events, their spirits are lifted. Now it's not just the poor Taoist whose spirit is lifted! Moreover, almost everyone related to me is overjoyed! Even the king and Ishihara Kojiro are no exception! After experiencing countless failures and setbacks, they finally learned their lesson, each placing heavy bets on me, resulting in a landslide victory! With faces full of joy and pride, they're beaming with satisfaction! It's making me feel increasingly annoyed!

  Apart from the high-ranking nobles of our Great Han Empire winning, I also heard another piece of news! The Seventh Princess of Wana also made a fortune off me. Who would have thought that this princess's eyes are so poisonous, and she took a liking to me at first sight? Depressing!

  "The Protection of the Four Elemental Gods" has arrived in the afternoon! It's a small, round shield. The simple pattern, the black material, emits a metallic luster unique to metals! My divine sense penetrated into its interior for observation and discovered that inside there are four places where massive elemental energy is gathered! They are earth, wind, water, and fire, these four types of energy! The intensity is very high, just taking the earth-type energy as an example, it's definitely not inferior to the best!

  A gentle input of magic, and a membrane radiating various colors immediately formed on the surface of the shield! The more magic I put in, the thicker the membrane became, and its area could also be continuously enlarged! I was delighted to discover that all of this was controllable - truly worthy of being a divine artifact! However, I didn't think much of it, because compared to the various magical treasures I had used before, this thing was no different from trash! If not for the fact that I hadn't yet cultivated the magic power needed to drive those treasures, I wouldn't need this piece of junk! Now, I could only humbly use it.

  But this thing is of no use to me. With the 'Great Seal Curse' on my body, I'm not afraid of any magic, so I casually gave it to Kuri for research!

  Just as I had finished dealing with it, a servant rushed over and said: "The Holy Light Cavalry Regiment, the commander requests an audience!"

  I heard it clearly in my room upstairs! The people downstairs are all excited! They went out to welcome under the leadership of the king!

  The poor Taoist's heart skipped a beat, thinking that the old lady this time was like a weasel wishing a happy new year to a chicken - not good intentions! Must be here for the "Protection of the Four Elemental Gods"! Humph! The fat meat that has entered my mouth, how can it be spat out? However, facing head-on, I'm afraid I'm not her opponent! Still, the 36th strategy is better to retreat!

  Thinking of this, I hastily called out to Keli and said: "My grandma must be here for the 'Four Elemental Gods' protection! We can't give it to her, but we also don't want to offend her, let's just make a run for it through the window!"

  "Good!" Someone came to take away his research object, Kuri was not willing at all! He agreed very simply! We jumped out of the window onto the street, ignoring the crowd's astonished gaze, and ran away!

  In the hotel lobby! Upon learning that we had run away, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became awkward! My grandmother's face turned iron-green as she glared at my father.

  Father is a sword saint, but under the sharp gaze of his grandmother, he was actually trembling with fear! He looked like a big tabby cat facing a lion!

  "You've raised a good son! He doesn't even give me face!" Grandmother said angrily.

  "I'll go get him back!" Father wants to take advantage of the situation to run away!

  "Come back! Do you know where he went?" Grandma asked!

  "I don't know!" Father said!

  "Then where are you going? Is Shengdu that big? Can you find it?" Grandmother scolded: "Obviously, you're also thinking of finding an excuse to avoid me!"

  "How dare you! I will definitely find it!" Father said with a wronged tone!

  "Hmph!" The old lady snorted, "He must have known my intentions, or he wouldn't be hiding from me! But I still want you to pass on a message to him: it's not worth offending the Sevyn family for a broken shield! They're a big trouble, and they'll stop at nothing for their family's honor. I hope he can think carefully about this. Tomorrow, I'll wait for his response at headquarters!"

  Grandma stormed off, and Father finally let out a sigh of relief, saying: "You little scamp, you're in for it when you get back! Just wait till I'm done with him!"

  "It seems you have lost the right to discipline him?" The king said with a smile.

  "Alas!" His father helplessly slumped into a chair!

  I'm free from the troubles of being a father! I'm strolling around the streets with Gai and Kuri. Since I'm now a public figure, to avoid being recognized, I had Kuri cast a "Blurry Technique" on me so people can't see my face clearly. Gai has also shrunk down quite a bit, probably no one will be able to recognize him either, this is why I can walk around freely!

  Walked for half a day but it's getting more and more meaningless! After thinking about it, I finally understood that it's because Xianya is not by my side! A feeling of loss surged up in my heart. Athena hasn't been found yet, and now Xianya is also not by my side! It's really lonely!

  Just as the poor Tao was blaming himself, a sudden fight broke out in front! Haha! How could there be excitement without being present?! Hurriedly rushed to the scene of the incident! From afar, I saw a group of people watching a confrontation!

  The two sides of the confrontation had a significant difference in numbers, I recognized the side with more people as the two young masters of the Sevyn family, accompanied by their gang of followers! The side with fewer people only had one person! A little girl who looked even younger than me!

  At first, I thought it was a typical case of a ruffian teasing a young girl and even planned to step in as a hero to save the beauty. Later, after careful observation, I found that the one who seemed more arrogant was actually the little girl!

  The girl is very beautiful, with fiery long hair like a flame that flows straight from her head to her waist! Her regular features reveal a kind of spiritual and lovely appearance, and her snow-white skin shows a different kind of firmness.

  Her attire was extremely simple, probably even among the poor, there were no ornaments, only a linen shirt wrapped around her slender body! The most eye-catching thing was the object in her hand! Good heavens, it was a steel rod about one inch thick and nearly two meters long, I guess it's similar to Lu Zhishen's shovel. From the color of the rod and the sound it made when it hit the ground, I can be sure that it was made of high-quality steel, which means it weighed at least 70 or 80 kilograms!

  "Keli!" I asked strangely, "I don't think that girl is a demon beast in disguise, do you?" She made me think of my grandmother's mount, which is why I had such doubts!

  "I'm sure she's human! Lord!" cried Krie.

  "Then her strength seems to have increased a bit?" I told him my doubts!

  "Judging from her attire and the aura of sanctity emanating from her, I'm convinced she's a very special kind of professional - a fanatic!" Keli is indeed an old fox, knowledgeable and experienced!

  "Tell me about it!" The poor Taoist came with a curious nature, having long heard of the great name of the devout believer, and today finally opened his eyes!

  "This is a unique profession of the church, their predecessors were the ascetic monks of the Vatican! Thousands of years ago, when the demon tribe invaded on a large scale, at the critical moment when the Vatican had no soldiers to send, this group of people who usually only knew how to practice asceticism stood up! They didn't have the strong fighting spirit of warriors, but their many years of ascetic practices gave them a physique that was almost as strong as that of magical beasts! They also didn't have the powerful magic cultivation of priests, but relying on their extremely firm beliefs, they were able to cast many incredible spells that even orthodox pastors couldn't! The combination of both made them an extremely powerful force on the battlefield, and in the battle against the demon tribe, they achieved great merits time and again. In the end, due to their great contributions, they were specially permitted to retain their formation and officially became one of the five major legions of the Holy Light!"

  "What's so special about it! Be more specific!" The poor Daoist said dissatisfiedly!

  "Their physical strength is abnormally high, and they can also use magic to enhance it! Moreover, their defense is strong, especially their recovery ability, which surpasses that of the demons!" Kuri sighed: "I've fought them before, and it was really abnormal!"

  "What kind of pervert law!" I curiously asked!

  "I pierced their hearts with my bone spear! They just cast a few recovery spells on each other and were able to heal their wounds at a visible speed, and after a few minutes they could fight again!" Kuri said gloomily: "My bone spear has reached the power of 9th-level magic, and it's poisonous, even if an ordinary 5th-level demon beast is scratched, it will definitely die. But these fanatics actually healed in just a few minutes! Even more powerful than a priest! A priest can't even heal heart damage!"

  "Is there anything else?" The poor Taoist gained interest and continued to ask!

  "They have no attacking spells, and although they have many auxiliary spells, it seems that they are only effective for people with strong faith! The stronger the faith, the better the effect. And then there's their crazy fighting spirit! That's what's most terrifying!" Keli said with a lingering fear: "Even if the ground is covered in giant poisonous thorns, they will charge at their opponent without hesitation, until they smash him to pieces! You know, they never wear shoes!"

  "So ruthless?" Poor Dao smiled and asked!

  "Not bad! The harm of religious beliefs is sometimes worse than any magic!" Keli said helplessly: "Their way of practice emphasizes one word - 'bitterness', whether in peacetime or wartime, they only drink clear water and eat dry bread. They wear hemp clothes, and their weapons are always those pure steel iron rods! It's simply self-tormenting madness!"

  "How can there still be women?" Poor Dao asked regretfully!

  "I don't know, anyway I've never seen a woman before, this is also the first time I've encountered one!" Keli replied.

  Is it because people think men and women working together won't get tired? Was it intentionally set up this way? I've had a wicked thought!
