"The preparations have been made, and now we can go. ”

Zhao Xi casually found a place to sit down, and Cornelia and Dorothy behind him also sat behind Zhao Xi.

"Who was that Buffy just now, you were so respectful to him. ”

Thinking of Bishop Darren's attitude towards the man named Buffy just now, Zhao Xi was full of doubts.

"He?" Bishop Darren smiled and said, "He is not an ordinary businessman, but the president of the Shodria Chamber of Commerce, and it seems that he has something to do with the great nobles. ”

"Why are there so many outsiders in the town, and it seems like they are going to stay here for a long time. ”

After Dorothy saw that there were no outsiders, she directly asked the question she had since she went out.

"I heard that Shodria is not very peaceful, and it seems that the shadow of a demon believer has appeared in the city. Bishop Darren shook his head.

"The capital of the Principality of Erel actually has the existence of demon believers?" Zhao Xi felt a little incredible.

"Believers in demons are like rats in the sewers, and it is not surprising that they appear anywhere. Bishop Darren said with a shrug.

"Didn't Grand Duke Xavier personally sit in Shodrea, those people don't want to live?" Zhao Xi's face was full of doubts.

"Who knows, maybe they'll have a backhand? Bishop Darren stretched out.

"Those huge woods outside are fragrant wood?" Zhao Xi remembered the huge wood in the square.

"That's right. Bishop Darren nodded and said, "That's a specialty of our town, and Dorothy should know about it." ”

Dorothy heard Bishop Darren mention her, and nodded as well, "I've heard Dad talk about this before. ”

"Otherwise, how could a viscount's fief be just a small town and this forest, and it would be more than enough to give it to a baron, but it would be too small for a viscount. ”

Bishop Darren said with a smile: "This wood is extremely hard, not to mention that its own aroma can repel mosquitoes, and it is a good material for making furniture." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xi couldn't help but nodded, and also figured out why there were so many carriages with wood outside.

"Okay, it's not too early, the caravan will depart tomorrow, and you're still checking to see if there's anything missing. ”

Bishop Darren's face was a little tired, and the old man who was over half a hundred years old was really overwhelmed by all kinds of things in the past two months.

Zhao Xi and the three of them saw Bishop Darren's tired face, so they got up to say goodbye to him, and turned to leave the church.

The three people who left the church saw that the square was still so busy, and one of them, a merchant named Buffy, was personally directing the merchant to place the timber.

Sid, who was behind him, smiled at Zhao Xi and the others when he saw them coming out of the church.

Zhao Xi nodded, didn't say anything, and prepared to return home directly with the second daughter to see if there was anything missing.

The three of them walked slowly on the way home, looking at the busy pedestrians around them, and the atmosphere between the three of them was a little dull at this time.

Cornelia was still the same, but Dorothy was in a trance at this time, not knowing what to think.

"Dorothy, what's wrong?" Zhao Xi looked at Dorothy next to him and something was wrong.

"Huh?" Dorothy seemed to be startled by Zhao Xi's voice: "No... Not much. ”

"It's just that I'm going to leave all of a sudden, and I'm a little reluctant. The girl lowered her head and said these words slowly.

"That's right..."

Before Zhao Xi finished speaking, his eyes instantly became sharp, and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed and directly rested on the neck of a stranger behind Cornelia.

"What are you going to do to my companion, sir?"

Zhao Xi squinted at the stranger who was sneakily trying to get close to Cornelia, and the sharp blade made the hairs on the stranger's neck stand on end.

Cornelia on the side didn't look back at the stranger at all, the holy light in her hand dissipated, and she silently walked to Zhao Xi's side.

Dorothy on the side didn't seem to react to the situation, but she still stood obediently behind Zhao Xi.

Several mercenaries in the distance seemed to be the stranger's companions, and seeing the stranger being pointed at by Zhao Xi with a sword, he drew his weapon and walked towards Zhao Xi and the others.

"What am I going to do?"

The stranger who was pointed at by the long sword didn't seem to be afraid of Zhao Xi, but stared at Cornelia on the side with his eyes.

"The Duchy of Erel doesn't welcome these lackeys of the church, get out of here!"

After hearing this, Zhao Xi really had a headache, not because of Cornelia's identity, but because of this mercenary who didn't have a long brain.

"Sir, I don't know what's going on here, but can you let my companion go first, in case you miss. ”

At this time, several mercenaries on the side also came to Zhao Xi's face, and one of the mercenaries led by them looked at Zhao Xi vigilantly with weapons in hand.

"Then can this sneaky gentleman apologize to my companion?" Zhao Xi looked at the mercenary led by the other party and said lightly.

"Damn," the mercenary in the lead cursed secretly, "Il, what stupid thing have you done again." ”

The stranger, that is, Il, was angry when he heard the scolding of his companion.

"I'm not doing anything stupid! Are you blind? That woman is a priest! Priest! When did the Duchy of Erel allow the priest to come in. ”

Hearing Yier's words, Zhao Xi was a little big, he didn't know whether people with an attitude like Yi'er were in the majority or a minority in the principality.

"What's wrong with pastors, are all pastors members of the church?"

Zhao Xi looked at Yi'er coldly, and the other party's noisy appearance really made him a little unhappy.

"This..."

Yier didn't seem to think of this, and seemed to be a little speechless about Zhao Xi's question.

"Okay, Il, apologize to this young lady, you must know that you will definitely beat you up again if you cause him such trouble. ”

The leading mercenary knew that it was really his own mistake, and glanced at Zhao Xi with some embarrassment, while scolding Yier.

"Yes... I'm sorry!"

Yier apologized, but he still looked unconvinced, and at the same time, his eyes kept scanning Zhao Xi and the three of them, as if he wanted to remember the faces of the three of them.

Cornelia didn't even look at Yi'er, and Zhao Xi saw that although the other party still looked unconvinced, he thought that he would have to get along with the mercenaries in the future, and he didn't want to make the relationship too stiff.

"Alright, let's go, pay attention next time. ”

With that, he put the crimson blade back into its sheath and waved his hand.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, sir, if you need our help, feel free to ask. ”

The mercenary led by Zhao Xi saw that Zhao Xi let go of Yi'er and put away his weapon, and looked at Zhao Xi apologetically.

"It's nothing, next time let your companions pay attention, don't be so reckless. Zhao Xi waved his hand and said.

"Thank you for your forbearance, and may the fire of order bless you. The lead mercenary also breathed a sigh of relief.

"May the fire of order bless you. Zhao Xi also bowed slightly.

In the past two months, Zhao Xi has also been crazy about the knowledge of this continent, and he has more or less some understanding of the customs of the continent.

Fortunately, the old viscount is a serious person, and most of the books in the collection are about mainland history and anecdotes, and there are no love stories with sad endings.

In addition to the gods of wisdom and justice, there is another god recognized by all races on this continent, and that is the fire of order.

It is rumored that the entire world was created by the fire of order, and it is also because of the existence of the fire of order that the world can resist the invasion of chaos.

At the same time, the Fire of Order is also the destination of all souls, and it is rumored that all living beings will go to the Fire of Order after death and become a part of the Fire of Order, and the transcendent is no exception.

Except, of course, the believers of the church, who are described in the texts of the church as saying that godly believers can ascend to the kingdom of God and receive eternal life in the kingdom of God without suffering from the sufferings of the world.

When Zhao Xi saw this, he laughed directly, this propaganda method is exactly the same as the previous world, and he is a little skeptical that the Bible is a universal template.

But he also knows that although it is a bit old-fashioned to ascend to the kingdom of God, this is also the most attractive point, who doesn't want to live forever and have no pain.

Especially for the people at the bottom, even slaves, as long as they pay a little bit of faith, there is a possibility of eternal life, and it is still necessary to try.

This is also the reason why the Church has been able to spread to the human kingdom so quickly that even the nobility cannot stop it.

The conversation in the area where the church is located ends with the words May the gods bless you, as was the case in the former North.

However, after the Church has fully withdrawn from the North, the end of the chat between the civilians in the North will become, may the Fire of Order bless you.

After all, the church had done too much damage to the north, and when they left, they took the personnel of their headquarters and some rich and powerful believers with them.

The rest of the believers were all left behind by them, and the hatred for the church was as strong as the previous faith was strong.

Looking at the backs of the mercenaries leaving, Zhao Xi's face was a little gloomy, if people like Yir in Xiudria accounted for the majority, it would be a bit bad.

"Let's go, let's go home. Zhao Xi took a deep breath and said to the two girls beside him.

"It seems to be a bit of a problem. Cornelia said softly.

"It's a bit of a problem, but it's not a big problem, a set of clothes can solve it, you don't have any dogma that you have to wear this dress. Zhao Xi asked.

"As far as I know, no. Cornelia didn't really mind wearing anything else.

"Whether or not to go to Xiudraia is a very dangerous thing for Sister Cornelia. Dorothy asked cautiously.

"No, there are some troubles that you have to go through to get around, and there will always be these troubles no matter where you go. ”

Zhao Xi touched Dorothy's little head beside him, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Moreover, it is also a good thing for Cornelia, after all, how can girls wear robes every day. ”
