Chapter 368: Bloody Phoenix (2)
Glori subconsciously covered his mouth, only to find that the smell was fishy. Clenching his palms, Glori didn't look back, and immediately ran into the back kitchen.
Flipping over the round table and blocking the door to the back kitchen, Glori didn't expect that to stop someone with deep magical powers. At the same time, Glori determines who the leader is—that person is Phoenix, the head of the Knights' Church. Because, one of the believers shouted Phoenix's name.
And the magic in Glori's is Phoenix's best magic power. It's not like the kind of magic that Glori has seen in the past, but the magic power is highly concentrated in a certain place to cause a change in temperature to show the profundity of the magic power.
So, Glori realizes that he has been burned. It's just that it's not the outside that burns, it's the inside. Knowing that he was in a lot of trouble, he could only rush it, first splashed a basin of cold water prepared for the noodles on his body, and then smashed the wooden window with a bench, and Glori left the bakery.
Faced with an opponent of unknown strength, Glori did not want to stop. Phoenix, however, was more powerful than Glori's imagination. Glori didn't expect that Phoenix would actually turn into flames and fly from one place to another, as rumored to be.
In the form of a phoenix's flames, Phoenix stands in the way of Glori. Before he could look at Glori, Phoenix asked, "Where are you going?" They, in order to portray you clearly, rushed to come to me. Later, I chose a portrait with sparkling eyes. ”
As he spoke, Phoenix unfolded the portrait in his hand and showed it to Glori. In the portrait, Glori is depicted as a bear, with only shiny brown eyes, a slightly furrowed brow, and some resemblance to the blue and white armor.
Hilariously, the portrait has a line of markings written on it. Roughly speaking, the armor of the blue star is unique, and it can be summoned and waved away.
So Phoenix smiled, spoke clearly, and spoke softly: "Why aren't you wearing that conspicuous armor?" I've heard that your armor hides an ability to identify its owner. If I take your armor away, will it return to you?"
"Armor?"
Glori straightened his chest and looked at Phoenix as if he had noticed something. Especially, when Glori stares into Phoenix's eyes. If Phoenix is a real bad guy, then there should be a hint of difference in Phoenix's gaze. However, Glori couldn't see it at all, just like Carson in the Rune Church.
Phoenix, who was standing in front of Glori's eyes, had a kind face, and even maintained a gentlemanly posture when he spoke. If you have to say that Phoenix is not a good person, you can only use the "threatening meaning in the words" and the magic coercion just now as a reason.
Confused, Glori replied. "You mean Xingchen Zhankai. However, I can't give it to you. And not just because it's a good partner. ”
"It's, it's a guy who doesn't care about the cost, and is willing to die for you. So, you're not going to give me any good?" Phoenix asked.
Glori didn't know what favor he could give to the head of the Knights' Church. And, Glori had never met Phoenix. What benefit can a stranger give to another stranger without knowing anything?
Moreover, in this frighteningly large city, people come and go in a hurry. Whenever there was an Imperial patrol, people clung to the side of the street. Even, when I came to this street, I saw a few guys who were captured by patrol soldiers. Among them, there is also a young and beautiful young lady. As for others, there was also the old man in a magnificent carriage.
No one wants to ask for help from the other, because the person who asks for help knows the indifference of pedestrians. As Glori had seen, even if someone fell down the street, no one dared to come up and help him. Glori thought to himself that if a shabby-clad man asked for help from a passerby, he would be at a loss. Otherwise, before that, Glori wouldn't have had to deliberately give benefits to the bakery.
Well, Phoenix must also know the difficulties of being in the City of Honor. After much searching, Glori found no sign of help in Phoenix's eyes.
"So, what do you want from me?"
"We're all smart people, you'd better not play any tricks," Phoenix didn't want to beat around the bush with a friendly greeting, "and you'd better not get involved in the Sunflower Salt Works." ”
"What do you know?"
Glori wondered.
Going to participate in the Sunflower Salt Farm was a commission from Lord Javier to Glori. Could it be a bad thing for Lord Javier to entrust him? How could such a thing happen?
Obviously, Lord Javier, as the Minister of Justice of the Kingdom of Alex, is a person with a prominent status.
A person of a prominent status already has enough honor and wealth to show off for a lifetime, so why bother a young man who is pursuing his dreams? If it is more realistic, Javier can cling to his wealth incognito and ignore nothing. However, Lord Javier stepped forward.
So what's wrong with Lord Javier giving a commission to a young man who shares a common aspiration? No, Lord Javier is a good man.
Careful though, Glori couldn't be overly suspicious of Lord Javier. With a hint of curiosity, Glori wanted to hear what Phoenix had to say. Let's pick up the book
Phoenix pouted tightly, nodded to himself.
"Actually, I'm just here to help you. As a supporter of the Norton family, I don't want the Blue Star to be an enemy of the Norton Kingdom. After all, people are complimenting you. Therefore, it is undoubtedly a pity that a bad result occurs. ”
Glori, who was listening, couldn't find a clue.
Although Glori had heard about Phoenix's talk with the Cultists in the store, he was puzzled by the fact that there was a feud between the Nortons and the Flore.
It is only natural that the Knights Church serves the Norton family. So, what about the Floret family?
Perhaps, the Knights Church also served the Flore family, which magnified the influence of the Flore family on the Norton Kingdom. Perhaps, the Knights' Church is the unbelievable pillar of the Norton Kingdom. However, in a kingdom, it is a bad thing to have internal troubles.
Perhaps, the Knights Church should only support the Norton family.
In conclusion, the Norton family is the true master of the Norton Kingdom. So, Glori didn't figure out what the Knights Church could gain from the Flore.
If you have to find out, then things are as complicated as Master Javier said—Glori is the one who doesn't see the situation clearly.
"I know that if you want to fight off the Demon Dragon Empire, you have to rely on the nobles. Like you said, I'm not very good at the relationship between the aristocracy. Are you trying to give me a better suggestion?" looked at Phoenix, and Glori showed a hint of kindness.
It would be great if Phoenix could provide a help. If Phoenix had come here only because of interests, then Glori was going to say goodbye politely. Although there was only a little expectation, Glori didn't want to give up. Waiting quietly is kind of giving Phoenix time to think one last time.
"Advice, I have. That is, you can give me the divine power you have received from the God of Light. I guess the power of God works better in me. And you, as for you, are just a humble commoner whose magic grows. ”
Phoenix thought that Glori would compromise, so he continued his usual habit of speaking confidently. Even in the face of an opportunity to de-escalate the situation, Phoenix confidently gave an answer without any concessions. Even, he knew that cynicism could not make a person like himself stoop to accept, but he was still paranoid.
Just like what happened to Phoenix in the past in order to save the knights' city.
At that time, the knight city was attacked by the Order, and Phoenix, despite his talent for magic, did not have enough magic savings and magical cultivation because he was young. Faced with the danger of the fall of the Knights' City, Phoenix joined the battle as a militiaman. After several battles, Phoenix learns what is called the difference in magic between races. Witnessing the irresistibility of dark magic, Phoenix still refuses to bow his head.
The proposal to regroup was made, but Phoenix was rejected. The commander of the team said that the knight city was no longer protected and had to retreat. As a result, Phoenix became the leader of the team in one cynicism after another. Before the final battle of the Knights' City Defenses, Phoenix works with the people to find a solution. However, when the general situation is set, there is very little that a militia can do. And those cynicisms, once again, swung at Phoenix.
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains.
In the middle of the night, I sat alone in the prayer hall of the Knights' Church, leaving aside those who were supposed to help, looking at the sun sculpture hanging on the prayer table in the hall in a daze. Phoenix knew that the sun god was arrogant, so he used people's cynicism about himself to the sun god.
Accidentally, Phoenix has the arrogant divine power bestowed by the god of the sun.
At that time, the god of the sun told Phoenix: "If you want to obtain the power of the gods, you must pay a price." In other words, the so-called fair dealing. ”
As for the price, it is like a phoenix. Even if the times change, we can only be forced to witness everything happening.
The sun god sneered, "Go, witness what you don't want to see, or try to sing the praises of my gifts in the form of a flame." Let the god of light see who is the one who spreads the dazzling light!"
At that time, Phoenix readily agreed: "God, I need that arrogant strength. Because, the enemy who trampled on my homeland is just outside the knight's city!"
Charging into battle, even if it is struggling, Phoenix does not want to retreat. In this respect, Phoenix resembles Glori, who is always on the go. That's why Phoenix felt like Glori, giving him room to de-escalate the situation—at the very least, not to destroy a man who was looking for the future like himself.
So, let's take a different approach.
Phoenix euphemistically, "We all have the power of God." However, we also know that there are some things that cannot be repented of. If you want to witness the light coming, then you should make a good choice of where you stand!"
