Volume 3 The Song of the Dragon and the Wind Chapter 89 The Return of Kanser
On the night of May 24th, it rained heavily.
"Silver's visit was infuriating, but it made things bothering us these days easier. One more thing I couldn't figure out was the young man named Dame Smith. ”
In the bedroom, Corriz muttered to herself. On his table was an oil lamp.
Squeak ......
The door was pushed open. Leo entered the house with a panicked expression.
As a result, Coritz felt strange. "Leo, why are you here? Aren't you already gone?"
"It's dark and cold outside. The road pass is full of people from Mochizuki City, and I really don't know why you're still pretending to be calm here. Leo said sarcastically.
"I'm thinking about one thing, about Dam. One of the many people who assassinated me. I'm still thinking about what he said. He said that Gudo and Moon were united, and that they were hindering us from achieving our goal of church unity. Kryz pondered. At this time, a person who surprised Corriz appeared.
"That's because he lied, how could someone who covets the power of the moon god interfere with the church merger? Dame wanted to make the water muddy and cover up something. At least Gudo wanted to get the power of the moon god, otherwise how could Gudo not stop Lord Coritz, he could no longer give the bishop an antidote, and there was no need for such a strenuous assassination plan. ”
"Speaking of Lord Mochizuki, he asked me to get a clue about the power of the moon god. In case he could not get the clues, he was bound to promote the merger of the two churches, and he consulted with the Gustercian about which side of the bishop to support as pope. As for the union between Gudo and Moon, an ancient Shennuo traitor, a Terran traitor, they are all puppets of the Order Clan, and they all serve the Order Clan, and each has its own fiefdom, Gu Duo is in charge of the Shennuo Church, and the city lord is in charge of the Terran Church. Cancer untied the tether of his cloak and stepped inside the door, continuing to add his words.
"What a coincidence, Leo has just arrived. Canther, my dear friend, when did you come back? Coritz said happily. The think tank is back, and now there is no need to rack your brains to think of a headache, he thought.
"But if they don't want to share the power of the moon god with each other, they will have a dispute with each other. Leo guessed.
As Leo said. There are a lot of rumors out there, and nothing can be easily trusted, it's just a mess. "Canther hasn't collected his thoughts yet.
"Silver has been here, he's a dangerous guy. If it weren't for the matter of the mentor, I wouldn't have helped you, and the current situation is not good for the Dark Curtain Church, because the stronghold of the Dark Curtain Church has been destroyed, and there are few believers left. But I knew it was Silver, and he confessed it himself. Leo said.
"Master Leo, I mentioned to the Bishop in my letter that Miss Irene must have been caught by Silver as well. Amo had been in Moonlight that day, and he could prove that Miss Erin had been captured by Silver, which Lynn had told me when I went to visit Moon. But because I was still allied with Silver at that time, I could only point the finger at the Revival Corps. Even if it's not an ally, Silver is still useful to us. As long as it's good for him, he'll help us fight against Mochizuki City. After all, Master Corryz wouldn't let the young woman become the Pope, and the power of the moon god couldn't belong to her. Cancer explained.
"But will Silver really help us?" asked Leo.
"When it comes to that, I really can't figure it out. On the night of the 18th, Silver sent men to assassinate me. At that time, I was thinking that while he was allied with us, he also made our battle with Mochizuki Castle clear, and pointed the point to us about Miss Erin's disappearance. When I went to clear the Church that day, I took the opportunity to bring up the matter of Bennett's rebellion, but the letters I had brought out to Moon were not from messengers I knew, and I was assassinated by Silver's housekeeper the night after the plan succeeded. ”
Cancer replied. He remembered that the night before he met Moon, a messenger had delivered him some of Bennett's letters to Lynn and the others.
"It seems that our brains need to rest after a long night's travel, how can Kanther have something that he can't figure out. Corriz said with a smile.
"Oh, what about Baron Victor? I haven't seen him for days. ”
Leo asked deliberately. He knew that there must be something between the old fox and Victor, but Baron Victor's sincerity still convinced him. When Victor visited Leo, he sent the head of a messenger from the Night Wandering Church.
He ...... Maybe he's busy dealing with the Lord of Mochizuki Castle. Cancer said, taking a glass of wine.
Schredder served the wine and poured it one by one.
"But, as I said in my letter, Silver is working for the benefit of his family. He ignited the flames of battle between Mochizuki Castle and us. Good for him in a sense. Cancer continued.
"Maybe you're getting in Silver's way, so he's going to let you die that night on the way back. Leo reminded.
"You have some point. If Silver's wishes were to revitalize the family, he would have to re-establish his prestige on the plains, and he would have enough strength to be equal to the existing forces. In this way, from the very beginning of my meeting with Moon, he had already counted all of this into it, and on the way he gave me favorable evidence of Bennett's rebellion, which allowed my plan to dismantle the forces of Mochizuki City to proceed smoothly. After that, his plan successfully entered the implementation phase...... "Cancer said. Then, he was interrupted by Leo.
After that, Silver felt that the city lord was trapped. If a fire breaks out in the backyard of Mochizuki City, and you Kanther is the brains of the Night Wandering Church, this threat should also be eliminated, so that the power of Mochizuki City and the Night Wandering Church will be weakened. Coupled with the matter of Moonlight Town, sooner or later, the city lord will have to pay the price you deserve, which means that your fleets that have not yet arrived at Mochizuki City will die before they come in handy. The internal losses of the city lord, coupled with the loss of the Night Tour Church, and then after this battle, the two major forces weakened even more. Leo analyzed it in a serious way.
"But, Silver didn't kill me. Cancer explained.
"Hmm...... But Leo has analyzed it well. Corriz slapped his palm a few times.
"Of course I'm glad to be alive. But according to Silver's plan, after that, the Plains will be left with the Hunters and the Revival Legion. Now, the reputation of the commander of the Revival Legion has been settled overnight because of the incident in Moonlight Town, and Silver is a highly prestigious figure in the Legion, so it is inevitable that he will not have a place. And the remnants of the Dark Curtain Church are no longer worth mentioning. Ahem, of course, Leo, I didn't mean to provoke your Church of the Shadows, and the merger that Master Corryz said was only through negotiation, as you always know, and we are very respectful to you. Cancer added.
"It's a pity that Leo, who doesn't know how to be polite, won't always be on our side, after all, he is a human from the Church of the Dark Veil. Coritz felt sorry.
"Well, it's human, and the entire Darkveil Church is human. The Church of the Dark Curtain and the Church of the Night Tour were born out of the Golden Covenant...... In the era of the gods, in order to fight against the order, the two major churches of the human race and the Shennuo clan merged under the witness of the moon god to form the Night Church, and the stronghold was set up in the Moon Temple, and the Full Moon Staff was the symbol of the church. Leo was skilled in telling the history of the church.
"Well, as you said, but one thing you're not right about is that there are humans in the Night Wandering Church, like Path. And me? a half-blood. Canther raised his glass. Leo stood up and drank with him as a sign of respect.
"Young man, Leo. Speaking of which, you seem to have met Andrew privately. My faithful servant will not miss a scene in the church. Coritz looked straight.
"Yes, I went, I said hello, but you didn't hear me. I was leaving, but curiosity kept me trying. Leo said with a smile.
"Well, it's nice that you make this place your home, better than my adopted son Paz, who doesn't even dare to help me ask Mr. Kronos about the Covenant. Well, things aren't going well right now, and I don't have the heart to ask the damn Gudo about the Golden Covenant. ”
With that, Corriz took the pill Gudo had given him. Since Silver's visit, the onset of toxicity has been more intense.
"Master Cretz, let's start talking about the plan, we can't just let Silver lead the way. Kanther said solemnly. He sat down with Leo.
"My lord, the young master of the Fan family has visited!" said the old servant Ex, pushing his son Schrader away, hunched over.
"Evan?" said Corryz, surprised, "let him in." I want to hear what he has to say. ”
What did Evan want to do when his uncle Moon was about to start a dispute?Corriz pondered for a moment.
"Yes, sir. Ex went to meet Evan.
Evan wore a white spell robe. The incantation is woven with silk thread. On his chest is the Mochizuki emblem. At his waist hung the famous Sage's Sword, a sword from Xavier, a sword that truly belonged to a powerful magician. Leo noticed the sword at his waist, and calmly watched as Evan approached.
"Hmph, Leo is you again? Every time I find you with Corryse, have you forgotten your mentor Xavier? "Evan Billio had bowed to Xavier's door earlier. He knew that he would not be able to find Xavier on his own, and had to reprimand Leo for something about his mentor.
"Haha, I said Brother Evan, we're plotting how to bring down your demonic uncle. Would you like to discuss it together? Leo smiled and bowed, then politely invited Evan to take a seat.
"My lord, this ......" Canther couldn't say anything. Evan's arrival disrupted his thoughts. Is it going to be a play?
"Evan, I said you would come to me one day. It's okay, just sit down and listen to our plan, after all, you and Moon are on different paths. Perhaps, this is an opportunity for cooperation. "Coritz happily invited Evan to sit across from him. He had just seen Canther's panic.
"My lord, we need the strength of the Revival Legion. ”
Cancer spoke in astonishment. All eyes widened and looked at him.
"Revival Corps? "Coritz was interested.
"On the way back, I was rescued by the young man called the Blue Star and his companions. However, they should not know that the person they saved was me. But I'm sure that by putting things in the big picture, they should agree to our request......" Cancer said with a crazy plan. He wanted to put his former enemies at the service of the church.
Just as Canther was telling his plan, Leo interrupted Canther's thoughts again. "I know them, they're looking for clues to the dragon god. It's time to go to Coral Harbor. He said bluntly.
At this point, a flying insect was driven away from Corritz's study by Schredder. It flew over the cliff, only to be devoured by a tiny blue-clad kano.
The heavy rain did not stop, and all the towns and key intersections of the Mochizuki Plain were all checkpoints of the lord of Wangzuki Castle, and passers-by who entered and exited were carefully searched.
If you look beyond the village of Grimrose, you can see Glori and his companions walking through the night in heavy rain.
