What era is it, still traditional card making

Chapter 456 Melissa’s Pendant
The arrival of outsiders attracted the attention of the simple villagers.

After all, the combination of one person and one sword is too conspicuous.

The blond man at the head is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament. It is obvious at a glance that he is definitely an ordinary person. He is wearing a thin black coat and a hemp-colored cloak. His right arm is completely hidden under the cloak, and only his left hand is exposed.

As for the sword floating in the air, some elderly people didn't know why, but they felt familiar.

Ye Qiong looked sideways and saw a silver-haired old man walking in his direction. There was a very conspicuous scar on his right face. It could be seen that the old man was definitely not someone to be trifled with when he was young.

And this person is Ye Qiong's target for this trip.

He glanced at the old man and finally fixed his gaze on the emerald pendant on his chest.

This emerald is just a container, and the pure black powder hidden inside the gem is what he needs.

In the long history of civilization, he had seen the story of High Priest Melissa. She was wearing the same pendant as the old man in front of him, and this pendant was rumored to be a container used to seal the bones of the Calamity Boy.

Being so close, Ye Qiong felt that the rumor was not wrong.

He did feel an extremely strange power in the pendant.

The old man came to him with a cold face and no good attitude at all, while Ye Qiong put on a business smile, like an upright paladin.

"Calvis, I wonder what the old man should be called?"

"Heh, you were honest and just told me your name."

Ye Qiong glanced at the wanted notice posted on the stone pillar. Isn't the blond man painted on the wanted notice Calvis?
As mentioned before, this place is very close to San Caner City. Coupled with George's unyielding attitude, it is normal for Calvis' wanted notice to be posted here.

He had expected this, after all, the power of the sky monitor was not a decoration.

The reason why he came to the Saint Village without any concealment even though he knew he was wanted.

The reason is simple. He saw something very interesting through the power of the Sky Monitor.

Wish-filled grass.

Something extremely popular among the upper echelons of Saint-Canard.

During his last reincarnation, Bishop Abele asked him to smoke once.

The right to plant this kind of thing is in the hands of some nobles, and it is absolutely prohibited for civilians. After all, the profit margin of wish grass is huge.

This kind of behavior in the Saint Village undoubtedly offended the interests of the nobles. Once discovered, the death penalty will be imposed.

It can be said that these villagers are really courageous to do such a thing near St. Kaner City.

Seeing the unkind look of the old man in front of him, Ye Qiong did not panic at all. He glanced meaningfully in the northeast direction and just said lightly:

"It's almost winter. Those things should be ripe soon, right?"

Unlike normal plants, the wish-fulfilling plant only matures in winter and exudes a charming fragrance. Growers usually pull out the wish-fulfilling plant from the ground by its roots in December.

"Are you threatening me?"

"I don't dare. How about talking somewhere else?"

He noticed the expressions of the surrounding villagers. He had mentioned information related to his wealth and life, but they did not make any move, as if they were waiting for the silver-haired old man to give orders.

It can be seen that this old man has a very high status in the Saint Village and should be the village chief here.

The silver-haired old man's face became visibly serious. If possible, he wanted to take down this wanted criminal directly.

It's a pity that he knows that the opponent's fighting power is not something they can compete with. After all, this is the villain who killed the eye of the sky, the guardian beast of Shengkan'er City.

"Barney Bryce, the village chief here, come with me."

Bryce?

It seems that this old man is a descendant of High Priest Melissa. No wonder he holds her pendant.

Ye Qiong followed the back of Village Chief Bani and walked toward a wooden house in the northwest.

Floating in mid-air, Fred quietly came to Ye Qiong's side:

"Brother Calvis, what were you talking about just now? Why can't I understand a word of it?"

Indeed, his conversation with the village chief Bani fell into the ears of unsuspecting people, just like the conversation between two Riddlers.

He briefly summarized the fact that he was wanted and the wishing grass, and told Fred.

"In other words, you found the village chief's handle, so you dared to appear here unscrupulously?"

"more or less."

"Wishwort? That guy George didn't strictly prohibit it and even extended it to the hands of nobles? Damn that guy."

One person and one sword walked into the wooden house. The interior furnishings were extremely simple. Apart from the basic furniture, there were no other unnecessary furnishings at all.

Logically speaking, growing wish grass is an extremely profitable industry. As the village chief, Barney can make a lot of profits, so the house he lives in should not be so simple.

Is it disguised like this specifically to cope with the Paladin's inspection?
He said nothing and sat opposite the village chief Bani.

Of course, he didn't get the hospitality he deserved as a guest, not even a cup of tea.

A wanted criminal with multiple lives under his belt and the secret of Saint Village, how can he still expect Barney to entertain him?It's already fine without giving him any shame.

No, he is already showing off his face.

Ever since the first meeting, the old man had always had a cold face. For those who didn't know, he thought Ye Qiong owed him tens of millions.

"Tell me, what do you want? A traitorous Paladin."

"Melissa's pendant."

He told the truth and directly stated the purpose of his trip. After all, in this barren village, apart from the wishing grass, this thing was the most valuable.

Village Chief Barney was not too surprised. There were so many outsiders who asked him for Lady Melissa's relics. Basically, he met a few every year.

"You should know what is sealed inside. Without the blessing of the saint's blood, this thing will only bring disaster."

"In that case, why not just destroy it?"

"This is the sacred relic of Lady Melissa. Please be respectful to outsiders."

Village Chief Bani, who was already very unhappy with Ye Qiong, turned a little darker now. He had not been in a better mood since he met this stranger.

Regarding these words, Ye Qiong was not angry, but kept a polite smile. He actually had a guess about the pendant in his heart.

"What the pendant seals is part of the Disaster Boy. If it is destroyed, it will attract the Disaster Boy. I am right.

This is the trump card of your Saint Village. If you encounter a life-and-death crisis, you can smash the pendant and attract the Disaster Boy. This way, you can at least fight to the death.It is said that High Priest Melissa's holy eyes can peer into the future. What did she see that would make her hand such evil objects into your hands? "

For this pendant, he chose to call it an evil object.

A thing that can only bring disasters, what else is it if it’s not an evil thing?

In fact, there is one thing he deliberately did not say. This pendant can even be understood to mean that Melissa has reached a deal with the Disaster Boy. If the Saint Village is in danger, her descendants can smash the pendant and summon the Disaster Boy. Come and bless them.

But this is just a guess, and it can also be regarded as a slander against High Priest Melissa.

If he really said this, the old man might not be willing to fight directly.

Some things just need to be understood by heart. There is no need to explain everything clearly.

After hearing what Ye Qiong said, Barney's face turned gloomy again. He did not expect that this traitorous Paladin had already found out all the details of the Saint Village.

"If someone other than the saint's blood uses the pendant, it will only bring disaster. I hope you can understand this."

This sentence basically confirmed Ye Qiong's previous conjecture. Sure enough, Melissa and the Calamity Boy must have a deal.

If the person who broke the pendant was not her descendant, what would the Calamity Boy do?

It must have been an indiscriminate massacre.

But Ye Qiong didn't care about this. He didn't want to summon the Disaster Boy, he just wanted to use these bones as materials to build the demon goblin.

"I still said what I said, what I want to get this time is Melissa's pendant."

Village Chief Bani moved his lips slightly, obviously wanting to say something, but Ye Qiong snatched the words away:

"Don't worry. I'm not a bandit. I won't commit robbery. I'm just here to propose a deal. Don't refuse in a hurry. Just listen to what I have to say before making a decision. How about that?"

Village Chief Bani didn't like this sudden arrival of a foreigner at all, and would really like to drive him away immediately if possible.

However, thinking of the other party's record of defecting, his anxious heart finally calmed down.

He looked coldly at the blond paladin sitting opposite, the expression on his face seemed to say:
"You said it, and I heard it. No matter what deal you propose, I will never hand over the pendant."

Such a reclusive attitude is normal. After all, Melissa has the ability to peer into the future. There must be a reason for handing such a pendant to him, whether it is for the Saint Village or the Saint. He will not hand over the pendant easily to his descendants.

As for what Melissa was spying on, Ye Qiong could actually guess it.

After all, when it comes to the disasters of the Apocalypse Empire, the most famous one should be the evil god sacrifice.

"High Priest Melissa handed the pendant to you, presumably because she wanted to use it as an amulet to protect you.

What kind of disaster drove this saint to reach an unknown secret with a monster?

The Demon Breaking Army, the Temple Guards, and the Royal Legion. If there is trouble in the Saint Village, you can go to these forces. As the descendants of the Saint, they will not refuse.

But from the looks of you, you probably haven’t been in contact with these forces for a long time. "

"Haha, you are wrong. My daughter is the captain of the third detachment of the Demon-Breaking Army."

"That's strange. Since you are related to the Demon Breaking Army, why are you so anxious to increase your combat power? What's wrong, you can't trust the Demon Breaking Army?"

When Village Chief Bani heard this, his face became a little gloomier, and he replied coldly:

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"No, you know, even though they are engaged in a hugely profitable business like growing wish grass, the whole village is so poor.

Where did all the money earned go?

Is it because the prophecy of the high priest gave you a sense of crisis, so you desperately increased your combat power in an attempt to protect yourself in the troubled times in the future? "

Village Chief Bani slammed the table and his tone became extremely irritable:

"Outlander, what do you want to say?"

"It's nothing."

Ye Qiong pointed to the mark on his right neck and continued:

“Since you don’t believe in the people of the Apocalypse Empire, then why don’t you consider trusting me, a traitor.

I was deemed a heretic by killing 23 Holy Knights including the Eye of the Sky, the beast that protects the country, but I am very trustworthy.

After all, no matter what I do, I can't be a pretender, right? "

After saying this, he looked straight at the silver-haired old man in front of him. He could feel that the aura of this guy named Barney had become extremely unstable. Obviously, there were already signs of wanting to take action.

However, he restrained himself very well, and it took only a moment for him to stabilize.

But Ye Qiong didn't intend to end his topic just like that. He pursued the victory and wiped out Barney's last expectation.

"The Calamity Boy is a monster that takes pleasure in witnessing suffering. Although I am not a traitor, I am still better than that thing.

Isn’t it just peace that you seek?What the Calamity Boy can give, I can also give. "

After that, he patted the sword floating beside him, as if to say:
"Xiao Fu, come and give him the whole job."

Fred was completely confused at the moment, why was he suddenly involved.

"Don't you think this sword is a bit familiar? It's not like descendants of saints don't have this kind of discernment."

Seeing the confused look on the face of Village Chief Bani, Ye Qiong simply stopped talking and announced the answer directly:
"The Sword of Hyera, the sword that Emperor Fred once wore, you should understand when I say this.

Let me tell you one more thing. In fact, the king did not die, but his remnant soul resided in the sword body, waiting to save the Apocalypse Empire again. "

"what?"

Fred was about to say something when he saw Calvis wink at him suddenly.

It's like saying:
"Brother Rex, help me act."

Suddenly he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that his identity had not been exposed yet.

Fred also understood what he should do at this moment.

The blade of Hiera's Sword flashed with bright purple light, and black writing appeared in mid-air. What was written on it were the names of all the villagers in the Saint Village, as well as a brief introduction.

Because the Sword of Hiera is not complete at the moment, it can only do this to this extent.

If they were in their heyday, their life experiences could even be shown one by one, and then they could be convicted.

This is the power possessed by this holy sword.
