"What rumor?"

Sophia raised her head and looked at Fein with a little scrutiny.

As the god of Goddess Eve, she has always been very sensitive to news about the goddess, and Fein's hesitant expression made her feel badly premonition.

Fein hesitated for a moment and looked up and said:

"Lord Sophia, there are many rumors in the south now that the goddess crown prince had already gone to the abyss when the war between gods and demons began, and was ambushed by the evil gods of the abyss and sealed..."

After hearing Fein's words, Sophia's expression changed slightly, and she snorted coldly:

"absurd!"

Fein quickly lowered his head again.

And after a few seconds of silence, he heard Sophia's voice again:

"Fine, where did you hear these rumors...?"

Fein replied respectfully:

"There are such rumors in many places in the south now, but... after I traced the source, I found that the source seemed to be coming from the underground world."

"Underground World?"

Sophia raised her eyebrows.

Seeing Sophia's thoughtful expression, Fein hesitated for a moment and asked carefully:

"Lord Sophia... There are rumors in many places now that the Goddess Crown has not arrived until the demon invades the world of Seges. It is because something happened to the Goddess Crown... Is this true?"

Sophia glanced at him, and she saw that Fein's eyes were full of worry, and in addition to the worries, there was a little confusion.

The girl sighed in her heart and said:

"Fenn, don't think too much, this is all rumor."

After saying that, she glanced at the document that had not been presented in the Knight's hand, rubbed her temples, and said:

"Leave your investigation report, I'm a little tired."

Fein nodded, put his hands on parchment paper and then leaned over and took his back.

After the Knight left, Sophia sighed and opened the file.

The fonts reported are not good-looking. At least from the perspective of a former imperial nobleman, it can only be said to be barely recognized, but this is already quite rare for a knight who was born in a hunter.

In fact, if Fein hadn't been an apprentice in Augs for a while, he wouldn't have known so many words.

However, although the words are not good-looking, the content of the report is in order, which is why Sophia sent Fein to the south. This young knight was discovered by her when Zeroland was working.

When Sophia browsed the report document, her brows became tighter and tighter, and her fingertips holding the parchment paper were slightly pressed.

"At least million levels of demons have been teleported..."

Her eyes were a little solemn.

Fein's documents record the news of the war in the south in detail.

Among them, what made Sophia feel the most heavy is the shocking numbers.

Among them, not only are there more and more demons as time goes by, but also one powerful demon monarch after another emerges as the territory falls...

In just a few months, at least seven legends fell in the Holy Mannian Empire, more than 500 high-level professionals were killed, and the army destroyed by the demons probably exceeded 200,000...

If this exaggerated number was placed a few years ago, it would have been all the military forces of the entire empire.

In other words, in recent years, the magic of Segs world has rebounded and professionals have experienced a blowout so that they will not collapse completely...

But even so, between the lines of Fein's record, Sophia saw the crisis of the situation.

The Eternal Church has issued orders many times to expand the number of judgement knights. Even several miracles have appeared in the Eternal Holy City Mannia, and several seraphs have come.

However, even so, the empire did not stop the demons' offensive.

Looking at the various descriptions on the parchment and the tragic situation after the demon invasion recorded in the document, Sophia's expression became more and more serious.

"Maybe there will be two months left to attack Fengyue Free Leader..."

Staring at the falling place names, the girl murmured.

Two months, that was Fein's speculation based on the current situation.

However, after Sophia read the document and looked at the map behind her, her brows were deeply locked.

Fengyue Free Leadership goes straight to the downstream battlefield through the Vimur River. If the demon army continues to attack the Fengrao Plain according to its current offensive, it will indeed take two months to reach Fengyue Free Leadership.

But if they change the way they attack and go straight up the river, it will be different.

For some reason, looking at the map, Sophia always had an ominous premonition, especially after hearing rumors spreading from Fein in the south...

Something happened to the goddess's crown?

This kind of thing can only be passed down among pagans and shallow believers.

But even Sophia, who is a god-loving person, still feels shocked and suspicious after seeing the reasons given in the rumor...

When the maple leaf collar rebelled, the evil god appeared. From the beginning to the end, the goddess's crown took action in just two months, directly destroying the evil god and sprinkling the light on the maple leaf collar.

However, now, the demons descended in the south of the empire at a more rapid speed and invaded the Segs world, the top leaders of the Life Church have not been moved for a long time.

Sophia knew clearly that the earlier the invasion of the abyss, the easier it would be to drive the demons out of the Seges world, and the longer it would be, the more difficult the war would be.

The abyss is so great that the Segus world is just a main material plane. If the abyss launches a full-scale invasion, it will be difficult for the various forces in the Segus world to resist without the power of the true god.

So... from the beginning of this war, the key to victory or defeat was the Goddess' crown.

However, since the war began, the Holy Mannian Empire and the southern Kingdom of Iris, which was also affected, have sent envoys to ask for help from the Church of Life many times, but the church's top leaders only sent some of the chosen ones to participate in the battle, and did not give any news of the arrival of the goddess.

Not to mention the rumors, even Sophia vaguely realized that something might have really been wrong in some place she didn't know...

As the God-loving follower under Eve's crown, Sophia's faith is very firm.

But it was precisely because of her firm belief that after hearing the rumors, her expression became more solemn.

Feeling the blessing necklace given to her by Ms. Zero, Sophia could clearly sense the soft power under the goddess's crown.

This power shows that the faith under the goddess' crown is still there.

But since that is the case, why has the goddess crown not yet arrived incarnation?

This is indeed a confusing question, even if she is the Goddess’s favor under the goddess’ crown.

During this period, even when Sophia prayed to the goddess's crown prince, she received very few responses. Even if she responded, she often had vague and simple instructions, which was different from the previous accurate and clear response styles.

The feeling was like a layer of mist between her and the goddess, and it seemed as if there were other existences responding on behalf of the goddess' crown.

It seems that when this sign first appeared, it happened to be consistent with the news of the demon invasion.

Sophia... dared not think deeply about this matter.

However, no matter how confused he is, Sophia firmly believes that the goddess's crown must be fine, and that he must have his own considerations.

As the Goddess's favor under the goddess' crown and the consul of Fengyue Freedom, Sophia can do the only way to unite all possible forces and resist the devil's invasion outside the territory.

At this point, Sophia stood up from her seat and ordered to the guard outside:

"Prepare the carriage, I'm going to the Church of Life."

...

About twenty minutes later, Sophia arrived in front of Zeroland's Temple of Life.

After the notice, she finally met the chief priest of Fengyue Freedom Diocese, a beautiful female elf, in the temple.

"Master Priest, the pace of demon invasion is getting faster and faster. With our current strength, we may not be able to resist their army. I will recruit brave men from the various Elves Selected Guilds to guard Fengyue's Free Leader."

Sophia said seriously.

The elf priest looked solemn and nodded:

"Sir, I understand."

After saying that, she summoned a handsome elf priest and said to the other party:

"His Excellency Natsume, Lord Sophia has a new task and will release it to the chosen ones..."

Seeing the summoned elf priest, Sophia's heart moved.

She recognized that this was an Elf Chosen.

It is said that there is a magical telepathy between the Elves' Chosen, and as long as the news is conveyed to one Chosen, all Chosen may know it.

Looking at the iris logo on the other party's clothes, Sophia also recognized that the chosen one should be a core member of the super-large guild named "Heart of Nature".

Is the heart of nature...

Thinking of this guild name, another familiar figure appeared in Sophia's mind.

A cynical smile, a weird hairstyle, and a short but not bad time to cooperate.

A trace of nostalgia flashed in the girl's eyes, and the whispering voice was a little emotional:

"His Excellency Demacia, where are you doing now?"
