"Cliff, why are you ignoring my orders and sending someone to search?"

Angrily breaking into the eastern sentry and glaring at the paladin in front of her, Ellie asked angrily. There was no way she couldn't help but be angry, because just yesterday afternoon, after the patrol lost contact, Ellie had communicated with each other and decided to go to investigate herself. But what Ailie didn't expect was that the other party actually disobeyed her, and she had promised to be good before, but she changed her mind as soon as she turned her head. How can this keep Ellie from getting angry? You must know that she is the plenipotentiary representative of the Templar Order in the Elven Forest, and if everyone does this to her, then how can she, as the Holy Maiden and the Commander-in-Chief of the Front, order and prohibit her in the future?

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being rude........."

Seeing Ellie angrily come to ask the teacher, the paladin with a beard also hurriedly stood up and saluted her respectfully.

"I can understand your feelings, but Your Highness, your honorable status and the commander-in-chief of the Templar Order, I don't think you should take the risk yourself. This kind of thing should be done by us........."

"But there are some things that have to be done by me, and I remember we had a discussion about that yesterday."

Seeing that the other party has chosen to give in, then Ellie is not suitable to force too hard. Even so, she was furious, as two patrols had already lost contact with each other. This means that the average paladin is simply not able to fight the enemy. In this case, the other side actually forcibly sent a new patrol, which in itself is a very risky act.

Luckily, when Ellie arrived. The two patrols had just set off, so Ellie had to force a signal to summon them back. And that's why. These two patrols escaped, otherwise. Perhaps the number of persons on the missing list will increase again.

And what makes Ellie most dissatisfied is not the other party's attitude, but the other party's behavior.

"And......... I've asked you to stop through Irlist, why do you refuse to accept orders? ”

"I didn't refuse to accept orders!"

But what Ellie didn't expect was that at this time, the paladin suddenly jumped up and said with an angry face.

"If it is ordered by your Highness Ellie, then I will definitely obey it. However, I can't take orders from a person of unknown origin! ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Hear what the other person is saying. Ellie was stunned for a moment, and then the next moment, her face suddenly became gloomy.

"What is a person of unknown origin, Irinster is our companion, and she is also the son of the sun god Amunla. You also know what role her abilities play in this battle, how can you say such a thing? ”

"But, she's an outcast, isn't she?!!"

As if pressed by Ellie, the paladin finally roared loudly. Then he turned abruptly and pointed to the quiet side. There was not the slightest expression on her face.

"And that strange psychic ability, Miss Saintess, I doubt she's really who! I don't think a God-blessed Son would be an outcast! ”

"Shut up!!"

Hearing this, Ellie almost exploded her lungs. She almost interrupted the paladin in front of her with a roar. Seeing that Her Highness the Holy Maiden showed incomparable anger for the first time, she just stared coldly at the paladin in front of her, and said word by word.

"Among the Nine Holy Doctrines. The most important thing is not to speculate about others without evidence, because unwarranted malice is the source of depravity. God's outcasts are a mistake. A historical mistake from the Templar Order. And we've fixed the bug, you know what I mean? The Templar Order is not infallible. We claim to be the spokesmen of the gods, but we are not all-powerful gods. We are equally afraid, hesitated, and made mistakes. But that's not a reason to let things go. If you've been clouded by anger and fear, then I want you to calm down and ask yourself. Remember, when we look at others, we don't hear about what they did, but we see with our own eyes what they do. Hearing is false, seeing is believing. ”

Paladins have opinions about Irlist, and it's not the first time Ellie has heard of it. At first, it was fine, but when the follow-up personnel arrived, and after the crowd was mixed, Elinster's influence began to mutate. Many paladins are very disgusted by her behavior of passing information directly into their heads, not to mention that many times Irnest conveys orders and messages on behalf of Ellie, which inevitably makes some paladins wonder if the other party has randomly given orders in the name of the saint. Since the spirit system itself is a rather strange type, and although this kind of interrogation is convenient, it will not leave any evidence. So even if you say something, the other party can dismiss it all. Not to mention, this ability is equivalent to listening to other people's thoughts and words anytime and anywhere, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Of course, so far, Ellie didn't think, and hadn't seen Irnest do that. But many paladins apparently don't think so. They are very defensive about Erin, and many times they even deliberately delay. However, it was the first time that this paladin had shown it directly to his face.

“…………… Yes, Her Highness. ”

Hearing Ellie's words, the paladin was silent for a moment before replying with his head down. Hearing his answer, Ellie nodded with a serious face, and then looked at Irinster next to her.

"Now, now you go and apologize to Miss Elinster, and then go to the wall and meditate for three hours—three days at least, if you are in the White Tower. But now the battle situation is urgent, so the punishment is for the time being. ”

"Yes........."

Hearing Ellie's order, the paladin came to Elinster with his head down, looked at her with a complicated expression, and then bowed his head deeply.

"I'm sorry, Miss Elinster, I beg your pardon for offending you just now."

In the face of the paladin's words, Irnest just shook her head expressionlessly.

(Nothing, I didn't take it to heart.) ）

"Thank you for your magnanimity."

Hearing Elinster's answer, the paladin smiled wryly and turned away. Looking at his departing back, Ellie let out a long sigh, and then she came to Irnest and bowed solemnly to her.

"I'm really sorry, Miss Elinster, and I apologize to you for my men's inappropriate remarks."

(I didn't take it to heart, Sister Ellie.) ）

In the face of Ellie's words, Elinster just shook her head, her expression still so calm. There wasn't even a hint of mood swings in her eyes.

(Well, then, it's time for me to prepare.) ）

"Ah, okay........."

Looking at Irinester's distant figure, Ellie looked a little dazed. She sighed helplessly, her face solemn. Seeing her expression, the priest next to her asked with some doubts.

"Your Highness, why are you so worried? Didn't Miss Ellinger already say she didn't care? And I don't think she's lying, which means she didn't take it to heart. Why should you worry about that? ”

"yes..............."

Hearing the curious inquiry of the priest next to her, Ellie sighed again, and then she lowered her head and muttered to herself.

She really didn't take it to heart......... That's why I'm uneasy. ”

There was one thing that Ellie didn't tell anyone else, in fact, she was worried about Irlist.

As a saint, Ellie knows very well what role the Nine Saints will play in the next battle, and what she hopes is that the Nine Saints will be able to put aside their prejudices and work together to fight the enemy. However, Irimp is the only exception. This is not to say that she is not social, in fact, on the surface, Irnest gets along well with the others. However, Ellie was well aware that Elinster was not really part of them. She's a godcaster, and they're ordinary people. Ellie could feel that from the very beginning, Elinster had created a glass wall between herself, the "outcasts" and the "ordinary people", and at the same time, through this wall, she carefully examined and evaluated the "ordinary people" on the other side of the glass wall. Although it is not good to say this, but when Elester was questioned by the paladins just now, if she could show a little sad and worried expression, maybe Ellie would not be so worried. But it was precisely because she was so indifferent that Ellie felt worried.

Because this meant that Elinster never put herself in the same group as anyone else, and she never expected anything from anyone else.

The so-called unexpected, unharmed is like this. If Irnest deliberately wanted to do something for someone else, she would be sad, sad, and disappointed to be questioned. But if she didn't expect to have any communication with these people in the first place, and never expected anything from them, then what the other party said would naturally not have any impact on her.

In fact, Ellie is also very clear that the reason why Elinster is here is not to protect these people, let alone to fight evil. She's only here because it's the lord's order. This is not a kind of blind obedience and foolish loyalty, but simply a different view of different ethnic groups. In Elinster's eyes, she and others have never been their compatriots, and the lives of those civilians have nothing to do with her.

In fact, Ellie really hopes that in the process of fighting and living together, Elinster and others can make friends with each other, so that she will have a greater sense of belonging to this side of the world. And only in this way is she willing to fight with all her heart and soul for what she values. It's not just a job, as it is now.

But now, Ellie is disappointed to find that this is just her wishful thinking.

In that girl's eyes, the distance between the others and their "God's forsakens" had probably never been shortened.

Is it true that the wounds caused by the accumulation of time and mistakes cannot be erased?

On this question, Ellie has no answer. (To be continued.) )
