Noble Emblem

A young Brave walked out of his village, gathered companions to his side, defeated the Great Demon King, became famous, then came back with beauties in hand! This was a legend that appears in the world of Seyrol every 200 years! Our protagonist, however, isn’t a Brave. Even so, for over a thousand years his figure has loomed throughout its history. Unwittingly, the name of the Red Priest began to resound throughout the world. Red Priest’s legend included extraordinary sword techniques and magic, erudite knowledge, and an almost prophetic ability to lead young Braves toward the proper path. People of the world think of him as a descendent of the ancient Golden Race which led to his omnipotence. In essence, however, this was just the characteristics of the profession known as ‘Noble’. A word from the fabulousest translator/editor on Earth which is me I took upon this translation/editing project for the same reason I started translating my first Chinese novel. There are just too many big ass gems buried in a deep cesspool. I've long guessed that Qidian stopped introducing good Chinese novels on this platform in order to give some breathing room for English (and other) originals, but I don't agree with such approach. From a reader's standpoint, it is such a shame that we don't even know how many brilliant works we are missing because of the language barrier. To be honest, I'm mainly copypasting from the site called Novelhi. It is a really good resource and their machine translation is the best I've seen so far, and they also translate up to the latest available chapter. Still, they have several issues. For some reason they always miss the last paragraph which make you can missout on a potentially very important information related to a story, and they also have parts where just a couple of words gets repeated for a whole paragraph and it actually replaces the original text. They also translate an ad together with a chapter which is immersion breaking. I'll be correcting the inherent sins of such MTL with manual editing and translation and I will also polish some rough edges so that the readers will have as much seemless reading experience as possible. You will definitely have a better time reading this than me for sure

Killing the archibishop

The flames of the Fire Phoenix were extremely damaging to evil creatures. If it was a normal spellcaster, his shield would not have been broken by Kail so easily. But Edgar was different. He was the archbishop of the Church of Life, and the goddess of the Church of Life was Rose!

An evil goddess who promoted betrayal and killing through conspiracies. Her believers, especially the high-ranking ones, could not be good people. No matter how gentle and kind they pretended to be, they were still evil in their bones.

They could deceive ordinary people and even most professionals, but they couldn't deceive Kail's Fire Phoenix Bloodline. If a Hero didn't even have the ability to distinguish between good and evil, then this profession would be too easily led by the nose.

After all, most of the Heroes did not know how to play tricks. They could only rely on this kind of good and evil perception radar to determine their enemies.

Edgar was shocked to see that his magic shield was cut open by the sword. He hurriedly retreated and immediately used the life-saving divine spell, Mind Shock.

The powerful mental power burst out in less than a tenth of a second … Kail was directly pushed back two steps. This kind of Mind Shock spell would be very powerful if it was cast by chanting a spell. Those with weak willpower and mental power would have their brains turned into mush.

But this kind of sudden burst of mental power was not condensed into a beam, so it was not very powerful. If it was a non-professional, they might be seriously injured. But Kail was not only a professional, but also a Hero. This profession was born with a strong mind and will resistance.

Kail stabilized his body, his eyes were a little surprised … In his view, any evil person would lose their mind and battle power would be reduced by at least 30% when they saw his Fire Phoenix flames. But this Edgar, although he was affected a little, it did not affect his consciousness and judgment.

Edgar pushed Kail back, then quickly took two steps back. When he was about to use magic to attack the enemy in front of him, he saw the young man with bright golden hair also rushing over with a long sword.

Although his speed was not as fast as the young man with the flame sword. But it was still much faster than ordinary people.

What shocked Edgar even more was that this young man was wearing a black magic robe, a three-piece set of Nether God. This meant that he was a spellcaster, but a spellcaster could be so fast.

Moreover, he also saw a long sword that gleamed coldly under the moonlight.

Although he had the protection of the magic shield, Edgar was still pushed back a few steps by the sword. Although this young man's attack was not as creepy as the young man's attack, there was something strange about it that made him anxious.

If one were to say that the young man gave off the feeling of a ferocious tiger. This young man gave off an ice-cold feeling, as if he was some kind of incomparably cold-blooded, yet holy, contradictory and terrifying creature that resided in the clouds.

The Magic Shield of the Church of Life had a special effect. If the shield wasn't pierced through in one go, it would reflect part of the impact to the attacker.

Although Liang Lidong managed to repel Edgar with a single strike, Edgar was not able to do so. But he was also affected by the impact. He bent his hand, which was holding the sword, backwards.

Seeing this scene. Edger felt that this was a good opportunity to counterattack, but in the next moment, he was shocked by what he saw.

Although Liang Lidong's upper body was pushed back slightly by his right hand, he took advantage of the situation to raise his right foot and heavily kick the opponent's Life Shield. The bright blue Magic Shield twisted again, and Edgar was forced to take a few steps back. The spell that he was casting was interrupted, and the mental power feedback made his head hurt.

Liang Lidong, on the other hand, stood on one foot after the kick. His entire body was thrown backward by the counterforce of the Life Magic Shield, but his right hand, which was already bent backward, held the longsword and used it as a fulcrum. His whole body did a beautiful somersault and landed rather elegantly, and most of the counterforce was offset.

The whole process took less than half a second. Both of them stepped back at the same time. Kail had already recovered from the stun. He took a step forward and slashed the longsword diagonally, as if he wanted to cut Edgar in half.

The Life Shield once again saved Edgar's life … … Although the longsword with blue flames and blazing aura cut through the Life Shield, it didn't completely cut Edgar's body due to the Life Shield's obstruction. Only the edge of the sword left a wound on Edgar's chest.

Edgar spat out a sharp cry of pain from his throat. His chest was stained with blue flame, but the flame soon burned at an extremely fast speed, as if someone had poured a bucket of gasoline on Edgar's body.

Fire Phoenix could burn with evil energy. Edgar became like this in an instant. It was not hard to imagine how many bad things he had done.

Seeing that Edgar had turned into a human torch, Liang Lidong made a hand gesture. The two of them retreated at the same time, as if they were guarding against something.

If it was a professional, even if it was a Master, they would be turned into ashes in less than ten seconds. However, Edgar was still shouting and struggling.

Liang Lidong and Kail both retreated more than a hundred meters. They watched Edgar struggle in the flames, rolling around on the ground, and smelling the thick smell of burnt flesh.

Alice was still summoning creatures. Above her head, there was already a group of small black creatures gathering.

If it was a normal person being burned and screaming, Liang Lidong and the others would naturally go and save them.

However, the one being burned was Rose's Archbishop. Not only did they watch calmly, they even felt a sense of comfort in their hearts.

As he burned, Edgar's voice changed. It was not weak, but the pitch changed. From the original human voice, it became a strange sound.

Following that, his entire body swelled up, and in just a few seconds, he turned into a gigantic white-haired human-faced spider that was more than two meters tall.

A black magic shield popped up from his body, dispersing the blue flames that were stuck to him. It looked at Liang Lidong and the others with a pair of green compound eyes, its eyes filled with unforgettable hatred.

"This is the Spider Queen's White-Faced Human-Shaped Spider. It's very strong." Liang Lidong looked at the spider that had just transformed and smiled. "If it were before, I would've probably tried to run away when I encountered such a thing, but it's different now. We have Alice."

Kail turned around and looked at the half-elf girl behind him.

A small cloud had already formed above her head, and it was humming louder and louder.

Kail had good eyesight. He couldn't help but shiver when he saw the "cloud." "I would rather die than fight such a thing head-on."

Something that even a Hero was scared of naturally couldn't be anything good. The human-faced spider's hearing was very good. It had originally looked at Liang Lidong and the others with hatred, but when it looked up and saw the dark cloud, it let out a frightened squeak. Then, it turned around and wanted to escape.

However, this place was within the range of Emma's storm. To break out of it, one had to be physically tough or know spatial magic.

However, while the human-faced spider was strong, it was an agility and magic support type, not a physical type. It didn't know spatial magic, either.

It tried to break out of the eye of the storm twice, only to be bounced back by the barrier.

At this moment, Alice had finished the summoning. Her face was covered in sweat. Then, she pressed her finger forward and shouted at the panicked human-faced spider, "Go!"

The cloud was under her command. The spider flew over with a buzzing sound. When it got closer, it realized that the cloud was actually composed of countless colorful bees the size of a fist. There were so many colorful bees that it looked just like a cloud from afar.

These were the Celestial Bees … strange insects that liked to eat spiders the most. They could eat all the spiders in the world as long as there were enough of them … Of course, they couldn't do anything to gods like the Spider Queen.

When the human-faced spider saw the colorful bees flying over, it was so scared that it once again crashed into the wind barrier. Unfortunately, it was quickly bounced back. It turned over and spat out a few spider webs in the air. Although it succeeded in catching a lot of Celestial Bees, there were too many of them.

Those that were not caught in the web continued to rush toward it and soon covered it.

The Human-faced Spider let out a blood-curdling screech and rolled on the ground with all its might … If it was an ordinary bee that was crushed like this, it would definitely die a lot. However, the Heaven Realm Bee was a Magical Beast and its body was very strong, so it would not be easily crushed to death.

At least 20,000 or so Celestial Bees completely covered the human-faced spider. The latter looked like it was covered with a layer of black film. The human-faced spider rolled a few more times on the ground and gradually stopped moving.

Emma put away the Eye of the Storm and walked in front of Liang Lidong. She put her hands behind her back and said, "Beta, I'm tired. I want to eat the supper you made."

After being together for so long, they naturally knew that Liang Lidong had excellent cooking skills.

Looking at the girl's sparkling eyes, Liang Lidong nodded. Although it didn't take much effort to kill an archbishop, it was indeed worth celebrating.

In the palace, the eldest prince smashed countless precious porcelain. He gasped and looked at the intelligence personnel below: "Now even Edgar has disappeared, and even his body has not been found. You guys can't even find where Emma and the others are. Maybe I should consider hanging all of you at the city gate."

A few intelligence personnel bowed deeply and lowered their heads. Their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

At this time, an intelligence personnel rushed in from outside. He directly knelt on the ground and said while panting: "Your Majesty, we found the second prince … No, we found the hiding place of the traitor."

The eldest prince's face lit up: "Really?"

"We followed a merchant and found that he bought a lot of food and wine, but he didn't transport them out of the city. Instead, he went north of the city." The intelligence personnel licked his lips and said: "We found it strange, so we secretly went to investigate and found that there were people related to the traitor in the Nether Temple in the north of the city."

"Ok, ok." The eldest prince laughed: "Well done, you will receive the reward yourself later. You will be rewarded if you have done a merit, and you will be punished if you have done a demerit. This is my rule, and you should remember... Parker, you will take my troops and surround the Temple of Underwolrd directly. Don't let that flee fly away."
