Chapter 243: Chapter 243: Saintess of the Church of Light VS Ambitious Maid (Part 9)
The main character of the banquet was undoubtedly Gu Shengyin. Apart from her, the few Cardinals also garnered much attention.
However, the focus of the noble ladies was entirely on those handsome and dashing knights.
Especially Carlos, who was not only charming and graceful, but also possessed great strength, naturally became the most popular figure.
Unfortunately to the disappointment of all the ladies, this Sir Carlos seemed oblivious to all flirtatious overtures, his attention throughout was consistently on Gu Shengyin alone.
If not for the knowledge that the Holy Maiden of Light was destined to never marry, these noble ladies might have thought there was some unspeakable relationship between the two.
“Your Holiness, these areas are where the Deep Blue Empire suffers greatly from the invasions of the Demon Clan,” said the Emperor of the Deep Blue Empire to Gu Shengyin after the banquet, getting down to business.
Gu Shengyin took a look and indeed, it was the two northernmost cities of the Deep Blue Empire. The information provided by the Emperor had no falsehoods, and matched exactly with what the Church’s secret agents had found.
“I will depart for Icefield City tomorrow. These traitors of the God of Light, the Demon Clan, shall receive the harshest of punishments!” Gu Shengyin’s voice was filled with a hint of murderous intent.
“Then, we are deeply grateful, Your Holiness,” said the Emperor of the Deep Blue Empire with a look of gratitude.
On the way back, Gu Shengyin pondered to herself: The Emperor of the Deep Blue Empire could not possibly have such a simple agenda.
But since receiving the baptism of Divine Power, her magic power had reached the Magic Saint Level, and she was further accompanied by a strong figure like Carlos and two Cardinals, ensuring that even in the direst of circumstances, she could always come out unscathed.

So, with that in mind, why not fulfill his wish and take a trip to Icefield City?
Moreover, whether she was willing or not, she had to go.
The caravan stopped in the Imperial Capital of the Deep Blue Empire for only one day before heading towards Icefield City.
The Emperor of the Deep Blue Empire sent them off with a smile, but in his eyes was an emotion that no one else could decipher.
Carlos seemed to sense something and looked back from afar.
He said nothing, loyal as ever, continuing to serve as the most faithful knight, protecting the Saintess.
Icefield City.
When Gu Shengyin got off the carriage, even though she had been mentally prepared, she still couldn’t help but be startled by the scene in front of her.
The entire city was enveloped in a dark fog. As the innate Body of Light, she was particularly sensitive to the forces of darkness and sensed the thick presence of the Demon Clan almost instantly.
The city was desolate, the roads on both sides empty, all the doors were shut tight, with no signs of life.
From a distance, it appeared that someone had seen them and was coming over.
The man speaking was a lean middle-aged man wearing a robe that was neither new nor old. Seeing Gu Shengyin, he was overjoyed: “City Lord Koman of Icefield City, I am honored to welcome Her Holiness.”
Gu Shengyin looked behind him, seeing only a few people, she raised an eyebrow but did not elaborate, instead, she asked about the situation.
“What is the current state of Icefield City?”
City Lord Koman replied with a bitter smile: “The Demon Clan attacks us almost every three to five days. Almost ninety percent of Icefield City’s warriors have died in battle. Now, only the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled are left. Moreover, plagued by the Demonic Qi of darkness, people often fall ill and are weakened. The current state of Icefield City is essentially that of awaiting death.”
