It took them three days to get from the distant town to the imperial capital.

During these three days, the church members also told Elrod about the situation in the imperial capital.

When the bishop heard about Elrod's deeds, he transferred him to the Imperial Cathedral, wanting him to serve under the bishop.

The imperial capital had specially prepared arrays to test magic power and special magic. Many people wanted to see how strong Elrod's magic power was, as he was said to be so powerful.

Elrod was very worried about this and told Gu Sui Nuan about it.

Elrod had also taken the test when he was young, but the result was not very good. Not only was his magic power scarce, he didn't even have any special magic. If he went to the imperial capital, he would definitely be exposed in public.

Elrod lowered his brows, feeling a little depressed.

Over the years, with the help of Gu Sui Nuan, Elrod has mastered many magics. Unfortunately, the magic power in his body is pitifully small, so he can't use any magic.

It was as if the dignity maintained by relying on the power of others would be exposed sooner or later, and a feeling of powerlessness swept over Elrod.

Elrod lowered his head and felt a slightly cool palm touching his cheek. He lifted his face and Gu Suinuan's voice had a special magic.

"Don't be afraid, Elrod, you'll be fine. Just do what they say. Your magic will return to your body soon."

Gu Suinuan's comfort swept away the haze in Elrod's heart. Elrod chose to believe and no longer worried about what would happen next.

However, during the three days of traveling, Gu Sui Nuan began to disappear from time to time, as if he was busy with something very important.

Because he had to hurry and was always accompanied by other church members, Elrod never had the chance to ask Gu Sui Nuan what had happened.

Until the night before they arrived at the imperial capital, Elrod and his men were ambushed.

A dozen blood-sucking monsters surrounded them and rushed towards Elrod with a clear goal.

Including Elrod, there were only five of them, and each person had to deal with at least three blood-sucking monsters. Even though they all had strong magic powers, it was still a bit difficult.

Especially the monsters that attacked them seemed to be the elite ones. They would not rush forward blindly to die, but would cooperate with each other to give Elrod a fatal blow.

The church members were unable to protect themselves, so they could only throw a silver sword to Elrod and let him fend for himself.

Elrod, holding a long sword, followed the sword technique taught by Gu Sui Nuan to resist the monster's attack. Every time, he was able to hit the monster exactly.

If they were not so busy, the other church members would have definitely noticed that something was wrong with Elrod. He always avoided something when swinging his sword, and also avoided some places when stabbing the monster.

When a church member saw a monster attacking Elrod's head from the back and swinging a sword at Elrod's back, he also saw Elrod suddenly turn around and... pull a handful of air?

Elrod's strange behavior made the man stunned for a moment, and he was unable to react immediately, which gave the monster a chance to fight back and pounce on him with its claws waving.

It was Elrod who threw the silver sword and pierced the monster.

The last blood-sucking monster was solved. The man thanked Elrod for his help, but found that Elrod was silent with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking about, and he didn't move.

At this moment, Elrod could feel that he was holding Gu Sui Nuan's wrist. Just now, the situation was sudden, and he subconsciously reached out to pull, but he didn't expect to pull Gu Sui Nuan into his arms.

This was the first time they were so close. Elrod could feel Gu Suinuan's warm breath on his neck and could feel Gu Suinuan leaning against him.

It was a rare opportunity to touch Gu Sui Nuan, and to be so close to her, and Elrod was inexplicably tempted to raise his hands and hug Gu Sui Nuan.

The hand he had just extended was pressed down, and Elrod felt that the person in his arms disappeared in an instant, and his hand was grabbing nothing.

Elrod's mood visibly dropped.

The other church members saw that Elrod was in a bad mood and thought that he was in a state of shock because of the monster attack. When they passed by Elrod, they praised him for being very powerful.

Without using magic, he was able to kill monsters with his excellent swordsmanship, even comparable to the Knights.

Because this raid seemed to be premeditated, people came from the cathedral quickly and even alarmed the Knights Templar.

Not long after the people from the church arrived, the people from the Knights Templar arrived, along with them was a nobleman in gorgeous clothes.

Simingbo reminded Gu Sui Nuan who was hiding in the corner: [That is Gal Pekka, the young master and only son of the Pekka family.]

Gal Pekar scanned the crowd and quickly locked onto Elrod.

He walked forward with a smile, extended his hand to Elrod, introduced himself, spoke flattering words, and even asked his entourage to take out the gifts that had been prepared long ago.

It was a storage bag inlaid with gemstones, which looked very gorgeous and expensive. Gal Pekka smiled and stuffed the storage bag into Elrod's hand, asking him to accept it.

When he touched the storage bag, Elrod found that there were still gold coins in it, and quite a lot of them. It was obvious that this was a bribe for him.

"I heard that Priest Elrod is very knowledgeable about medicines, and many people come to you for medical treatment and medicine. My father had symptoms of fever and cough not long ago, and I came here this time to ask for some medicines."

Gal Peka spoke sincerely, as if he really came to ask for medicine.

Elrod did not miss the calculation in Gal Pekka's eyes. He hesitated and looked like he was thinking about the condition.

Long before coming here, Gu Sui Nuan had told him about the general situation of the Imperial Capital. The Pekka family relied on the monopoly of the medicines distributed by the church, and was rich enough to rival a country, and had a considerable status in the Imperial Capital.

Elrod had many potions for curing diseases, and had even cured the plague. This news must have spread in the imperial capital before he came to take office.

No one knows what purpose the Pekka family has in coming here this time.

Gu Sui Nuan, who had just been beside him, became motionless after disappearing in his arms. Elrod was at a loss as to what to do when one of the knights suddenly laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha, doesn't the Pekka family sell medicine? Does your family also need medical treatment and medicine?"

The knight said as he walked up to them and looked at Gal Pekka, then at Elrod and the church members around him.

"Gar, it seems inappropriate for you to be so impatient to ask for medicine in front of other church members in the cathedral, right? Do you think the potions in the imperial capital are inferior to those of this little priest?"

This didn't sound like it was directed at Elrod, but rather it sounded like it was meant to sow discord between the Pekka family and the church.

Elrod looked calm, but Gal Pekar's face turned blue and red, and he had a hard time maintaining a smile.
