Chapter 736 Atonement
In Milo's previous descriptions, Aunt Shana was probably a savior or something similar, possessing extremely high medical skills. Freya probably already had a pretty good idea of ​​everything about her in her mind.

But when they actually met, they discovered that Shana was a member of the Purification Legion, and her so-called superb medical skills came from countless cutting and dismembering of the bodies of the Hierophant race…

...

……

"let's go…"

Freya stood behind Milo and reached out to tug at Milo's clothes.

She did not show any hatred or anger, only a well-hidden fear.

The persecution of the Xiren by the Purification Legion has continued for countless years, and even Freya, who has awakened the bloodline of a dragon, cannot suppress this fear rooted deep in her soul.

Even though she is a dragon, and the other party is just a weak and powerless ordinary person.

She gently tugged at Milo's sleeve, saying nothing, but it felt like she was humbly begging him to leave quickly.

...

However, Milo took Freya's hand.

And the next question was directed at Aunt Shana:

"In your sect's terms, it's called atonement, right? You've come all the way to Losk for this purpose, haven't you?"

……

...

The morning light streamed down the Zulu River basin, but its path was blocked by thick, swollen clouds.

The kingdoms of Hyranris and Loske lay shrouded in gloom, as if something unpleasant was about to happen—perhaps a terrible downpour, or perhaps not.

The Gripen Apostles who rushed to Mount Hitchcock to hunt down the wounded Hitches were all killed.

These low-level spirit seers, who possessed blessings and served the temple, had not yet reached the level where their souls would be guided back to the temple after death. However, the person who killed them resolutely crushed the few blessings they possessed and severed their connection with the temple with a wall of mist.

The body will soon decompose and decay due to the abundant microorganisms in the field.

The only one who escaped this fate was the lucky one who captured Aegon and returned him to the priests.

But his good fortune won't last long.

Because the visitors are also on their way.

……

The last dismembered apostle of the Temple of the Hook told Milo everything.

Even verbal information is perfectly sufficient.

On his way alone to the priest's prayer hall, Milo saw a familiar face wandering aimlessly along the country road.

That was the captain who had gone mad.

He did not suffer any real fatal injury, but his soul may have died; Milo could not sense any life in this man.

...

Milo didn't waste any time on this poor man and headed straight for the city settlement where the priest was located.

Yes, that's right, he came alone.

Freya, who was still recovering from her serious injuries, did clamor to come along, but Milo simply "coaxed" her to sleep with a gentle fire.

At times like these, Milo would inexplicably think of the "heartless" woman in his home...

...

It's unrealistic to try and hunt down the apostle who has taken Aegon hostage.

The closer one gets to the city settlement where the Temple of Blessings is located, the stronger the aura of the Spirit Visors permeates the air.

Moreover, it wasn't just the Temple of Hooked Finger that was present, because the Purification Legion had also arrived. Although the apostles who died in the jungle didn't have the chance to rule them, perhaps because the Purifiers were so dedicated, they were present wherever the Hiyans were.

As previously speculated, this legion is not simply composed of members of the Hooked Finger Temple, but is somewhat similar to a joint knightly order in which various temples send resident personnel.

At least all temples that have dabbled in the "re-creation of deities" should have a place in the Purification Legion.

From hunting, slaughtering, and dismantling, to filling and refining, it has become a complete production chain, even including many downstream parts such as the pot-making settlements around the Ula Xilu Temple, and probably corresponding acquisition and trading personnel, facing those scavenging spirit seers. That's why the scene of spirit seers ganging up on Freya on the Cold Plains occurred.

...

The members of the Purification Legion are dressed as respectably as their organization's name, all wearing silver armor and white robes. The only difference is the temple totem engraved on their armor.

The Hooked Finger Temple is actually a missionary institution that faces the general public. Most of its clergy are the priests mentioned by the captain, who are a level lower than ordinary apostles.

In short, the prayer hall is just a small temple, and it suddenly felt crowded with such a large group of purification troops.

...

Milo happens to be able to help with the overcrowding problem. ...

Behind, the Ula Xilu Temple settlement.

At this moment, a woman dressed in muddy clothes staggered into the settlement.

Her shoes, skirt, cuffs, and fingernails were covered in mud and dried blood.

However, the potters in the settlement, dressed in gray robes, did not stop her. Whether human or mixed-race, they all made way for the woman.

Most of them would also bow and greet the woman as she passed by.

This bizarre scene was caused by the woman wearing a curved metal amulet, a symbol of her identity as a "swordsman" of the Purification Legion.

...

The potters who served the cause of purifying the Greeks were naturally very familiar with everything about the Purification Legion. The white-robed knights and swordsmen who fought and hunted evil were objects of their envy and worship.

Even though the person wielding the knife looks so fragile and disheveled, she is still so sacred and noble in the eyes of the potters.

...

The woman walked silently to the very center of the settlement.

She didn't look at anyone or anything around her; her dark eyes seemed to see only the burning tower before her.

...

The jars that were shipped to all parts of the world and brought back after being filled with the chopped and minced flesh of the Greeks were produced inside the tower. It was responsible not only for burning the jars but also for refining the flesh of the Greeks.

It's less about refining and more about cooking...

...

Under the watchful eye of the potter, the woman slowly ascended the spiraling steps at the edge of the tower.

The potters stopped what they were doing, looking up at the figure climbing higher and higher, eagerly awaiting what this scalpel of the purification legion was about to do.

How many years has it been since the Purification Legion appeared in Ula Xiru? Some potters even died on the job without ever getting a glimpse of the white-robed figure.

They firmly believe that they are following the will of the supreme authority, engaging in the most sacred cause, and that they are the hand of God, purifying the extreme evil in the world on His behalf.

...

The entire settlement was so quiet.

As countless gray-robed potters watched, Shana leaped from the top of the tower into its interior.

...

A dark, terrifying spiral flame spread from her chest cavity, colliding with the ever-burning refining fire within the tower.

Buzz————

And so Ula Xilu fell completely silent.

...

...

A fleeting, relieved smile crossed Shana's face before she fell into the tower.

That means she didn't make these choices under the influence of fearful dreams.

The only thing Milo did was to place a flame of sin within her.

The flames, fueled by her sins, persisted and continued until they finally erupted the moment they touched the tower.

...

……

On the hills near the Qifu Temple settlement.

Milo heard a loud buzzing sound coming from afar, then turned his head and saw thick smoke rising from the direction of Ula Xilu.

He knew nothing of Shana's past, only that she was a person seeking redemption, and that despite her many mad behaviors, her mental world remained clear.

She demanded a way to end her sins, and Milo granted her request.

That's it.

...

Of course, another purpose is that when the Temple of Ulahiru, the pottery maker, is destroyed in flames, all the temple apostles and the purification legions will flock to it, and even the eyes of the entire Kingdom of Losk will be focused on the ruins of the temple.

But within the Prayer Temple settlement, only that priest remained.

...
