Chapter 717: The Widow
Vilnius, the city is located more than a hundred kilometers in a straight line from Minsk, the capital of Belarus.
It is also the only city within 100 kilometers of Minsk where the inhabitants are still living normally, because it is the capital of Lithuania.
Whether the capital falls or not is a profound matter for a country, so even though the purple carpet of the Queen Mother of the West has almost reached the outskirts of Vilnius, the people of the city have not retreated.
In addition to the government's determination, this must of course be supported by the people.
Part of the factor that gives people this confidence is the coexistence of multiple religions.
The three major sects of the Holy See, the Tensho, the Proprietor, the Crescent, and even the Aetherism and the Ilu Sect outside the European Curia, have groups here.
Facing the danger of annihilation, all the gods and goddesses have their own magical powers, although they have no substantial role in resisting the Queen Mother of the West, but they can fool people.
And the Patriarch of the Crescent, St. Norman, retreated to the city this afternoon.
Unlike the two old fellows, the Tensho Pope and the Patriarch, St. Norman is still in the prime of life, forty-five years old this year, and is a bit of a maverick compared to the traditional clergy.
He himself was a tall man, two meters tall, as strong as a cow, and had a red beard.
Within the Crescent Sect, the bishops of other factions privately call him "Redbeard".
His style of behavior is more direct, relying on a strong cultivation, and he is not convinced.
The candidates of the previous several sects, it was he who was beaten one after another and "took the initiative" to give up, which allowed him to sit in his current position.
And this inheritance in his own body, which is the most famous in the whole of Europe, is the head of the Knights of the Round Table, King Arthur.
Saint Norman was born with divine power when he was a child, and his cultivation talent was good, and by the time he was twenty-eight years old, he had already stood at the end of his cultivation in the world.
Since then, no one in the entire European continent has been able to make three moves under him.
At that time, in the Eurasian cultivation circle, it was said that there were three peaks in the east and one in the west.
The two on the east side, one is Lin Le Mountain, the other is Zhang Lianhai, and the west one is St. Norman.
The Crescent in the European Curia is probably the most successful religion in history to date.
Because the people who have led the great changes in the world in the past five hundred years are the Crescentists.
The great geographical discoveries, the slave triangular trade, the plundering of colonies, and the rise of capitalism were all the handiwork of the Crescentists.
It was the Crescentists who single-handedly pushed mankind forward to the process of industrialization and created the first industrialized powers on the earth.
It can be said that the earth is as big as the crescent moon cultists made the plate how big it was.
It's a pity that the plate is bigger, and there are more conflicts of interest, and it is inevitable that there will be many factions and their own mountains.
After the two world wars were fought and the New World of North America rose, the Crescentists who remained in Europe began to weaken and shrink sharply, regardless of their financial resources, strength or discourse.
And now, even the Crescent Sect in Europe is full of factions.
St. Norman, the so-called Archpatriarch of the Crescent, is also an honorary title. He was actually the head of the largest faction in the country, the archbishop of the Anglican Episcopal Church.
Except for the Anglican Church, the other Crescentists, including those druids in Scotland, are not very birdy to him, and there are not many great cultivators under his command who can drive.
And once this operation to kill the head of the Hunting Sect is successful, the profit of the Crescent Moon Sect is the most direct.
Most of the people in Northern Europe are Crescentists, and if the Holy See wants to enter the world, he, the Patriarch of the Crescent, is the best choice to lead this territory.
Therefore, Saint-Norman was very motivated this time, and at the same time felt that the little money in his hand was not so thick, and he had to be cautious.
After spending some time near the territory of the Queen Mother of the West, St. Norman felt that the signs of this was not quite right, and it felt as if the two old foxes, the Pope and the Patriarch, were calculating themselves.
He also learned that the hunting party was not so soon finished, so he simply withdrew to Vilnius, intending to wait and see for a while.
This St. Norman is a supreme master of cultivation, and he is not the same path as the Pope Patriarch, a priest of light and a spiritual warlock.
The three of them really want to do it one-on-one, and Saint Norman can say that he will win, but the premise is that he will do it when they meet, and he will directly kill the two old men in seconds.
But you must not sit down and talk about things, otherwise the telekinesis of the two old things can play with flowers, and Saint Norman will not be able to guard against it.
If the spirit is controlled, then the Crescent Moon Sect will belong to someone else.
Therefore, St. Norman, the Patriarch of the Crescent, does not meet with the Tenshin Pope and the Patriarch of the Orthodox Patriarch, and there is something for the Blessed Knight to pass the word.
People have the feeling of meeting, and if they don't meet to talk about things, the suspicion between each other will naturally be heavier.
Now back in Vilnius, he is scared.
Sure enough, the two old things didn't do well.
He brought out more than 300 cultivators, and almost all the cards in his hand were bet, and they were originally ambushed in the northern area according to the agreement.
And now there are less than fifty of those who have withdrawn to Vilnius with them.
There are still 250 cultivators, and so far, there is no news at all, that is, there is no life, no death, no corpse.
Sensei asked, he must have been ambushed.
Who did it, Saint Norman felt that there was no need to think about it, it was the Tensho Pope and the Patriarch of the proprietor.
Because the Crescent Cult as a whole is the most powerful in the Holy See in Europe.
At present, it is not very united, resulting in the strength of himself, the chief patriarch, not as good as the Tianzheng Pope and the proprietor patriarch.
But if this thing really happens, and Nordic gives itself such a large place, it can be regarded as having a basic plate.
Then in another Reformation, it will unite the hearts and minds of the people, and pinch all the Crescentists in Europe together at the moment, which is a matter of course.
Then next, when he is in the prime of life, his ambition is still there, so he will naturally take the Tianzheng Sect and the Orthodox Sect to dominate the Holy See in Europe.
Since such a situation is what he himself wants to see, it is naturally what the Pope and the Patriarch do not want to see.
So it's normal for two old foxes to join forces to hand over themselves.
Saint Norman only hated himself for not seeing through it at the beginning and being fooled.
......
That night, St. Norman went to a Vilnius tavern, intending to get drunk and relieve his boredom.
This is also the main pastime of St. Norman for so many years, if something goes wrong, he will go to the tavern, and then use the strength of the wine to fight with people.
If he hadn't been too drunk at the time and knew how to keep his hands on it, the person who fought with him would have been seriously injured.
If you are too drunk and don't know the weight of your hands, then even if the other party is unlucky, you deserve to be killed, and then spend money.
After so many years, he has beaten all the bars in the British Isles, and everyone remembers his face.
In recent years, he doesn't have to say anything when he goes to the bar, and it automatically has the effect of clearing the scene.
Today I came to the tavern in Vilnius, Lithuania, yes, no one here knows him.
Although he is the Archimam of the Crescent, he does not attend any public events, and not many people know him anywhere else in Europe, except in England.
Moreover, in this part of Lithuania, Slavs are the predominant, and there are many tall and tall people.
His height of two meters is not unusual for him to rest here, so he is not very eye-catching.
When people entered the bar, they found that this tavern was doing good business, and the wine tables in the lobby below were all full, and there was still a place on the bar.
So Saint-Norman sat down, and found a little girl sitting beside him.
When I looked closely, I saw that this little girl was a little interesting.
Although her skin is very white, looking at her facial features, this is an Oriental woman, she is very beautiful, her face is almost tender, and she is in her early twenties.
But her hair was silvery-white, tied up with a black head flower, and she was wearing a black mourning dress.
The wine in the glass in her hand, St. Norman recognized it at a glance, the vodka dripped into the lemonade, and the mouth of the glass was smeared with salt, which was called Margaret.
When the Margaret cocktail was made, it was the bartender to commemorate the deceased lover, and the lover's name was Margaret.
Saint-Norman was a coarse and delicate man, and he had not yet drunk at this time, and his mind was clear, and he thought that this woman was a little strange.
But no matter how strange a woman is, he doesn't take it seriously at this time.
After all, he is the strength at the end of the world's cultivation, this woman sits almost close to himself, at this distance, Saint Norman asks himself that he is invincible in the world, this woman has to lie down even if she is a tiger, and she has to coil even if she is a dragon.
Saint-Norman asked the bartender for a whiskey on the rocks, and then accosted the woman, "Alone?"
"Hmm. The woman in mourning clothes answered, and then continued to drink.
I don't know how much the little girl drinks, but it's really bold to drink, so I'll go down for a glass in two sips.
The liquor roared, and the flush came up, and a beautiful little face was white and red.
Saint Norman looked at the woman beside him, and before he had drunk the whiskey in his hand, he felt that he was already half drunk.
So he decided to change his game tonight and stop looking for someone to fight.
He touched the beard on his face, and now he regretted it a little.
Before you go out, you should take care of it and shave your beard so that you look younger.
But after thinking about it, this girl is drinking spirits alone in a bar, and she is probably not a timid woman, and her appearance should not scare her.
So Saint-Norman said to the bartender, "I will ask for this lady's wine tonight, and you will give her another drink." ”
The woman in mourning clothes didn't speak, and took the wine handed over by the bartender with an expressionless face, and drank it in two sips.
As soon as Saint Norman saw this posture, he understood in his heart that it was not enough for him to invite him to drink, but he had to drink more than her.
And when it comes to drinking, St. Norman is in business.
So you drink a glass and I drink from nine o'clock in the evening to two in the morning, the drinkers are gone, and the tavern is almost closed.
How much he drank, Saint Norman couldn't remember clearly, he only felt that the woman next to him had a ghost.
And this woman in mourning clothes, her face was still a little flushed before, but now she is white again, and she doesn't look like anything is wrong.
Saint Norman thought to himself, tonight is a busy day, and he can't drink it.
Since the text is not good, then come to the martial arts.
As soon as Saint-Norman's mind turned to this, the woman in mourning clothes spoke:
"My husband died. ”
That's the woman's first word tonight.
As soon as Saint-Norman heard it, he knew that there was no need to use force tonight, there was a play.
So he suppressed the wine that kept coming up, and said:
"My wife is also dead. ”
The bartender at the bar was cleaning up the bottles, and when he heard this, he didn't hold it, and he fell down.
Just as the bartender was about to clean up the glass shards, the woman in mourning clothes spoke:
"When my husband was alive, you were as famous as him.
So I came here this time to see what kind of character you are.
As a result, it turns out that people can't be trusted, and it's better to be famous than to meet. ”
Saint Norman was drinking at this time, and he was already drunk, and he didn't understand what this woman meant, so he asked, "Who is your husband?"
"My husband's name is Lin Leshan. ”
After saying this, the glass shards in the bar suddenly flew up.
These fragments seemed to be pinched together by an invisible hand, forming a transparent dagger in mid-air, which instantly sank into Saint Norman's heart from behind.
St. Norman stared blankly at the woman in mourning clothes, her mind had not kept up with the situation, and she had lost all her strength.
And the glass dagger, passing through Saint Norman's body, hovered in front of the woman in mourning clothes.
The woman in mourning clothes reached out and took off the dagger and placed it on the bar, which had been transformed back into a full wine bottle.
After doing all this, Miao Xueping said lightly to the stunned bartender:
"I asked for his wine, check out. ”
