Chapter 8 Narration
When Zhao Xi finished saying this, Cornelia also glanced at Bishop Darren in surprise, unable to figure out why the other party would intercede for her.
"Cornelia?"
Bishop Darren softly pronounced out the name of the sanity girl, as if he remembered something, and his face was embarrassed.
"You should know about the complete withdrawal of the church from the north thirty years ago, after all, the Kingdom of Erel rose at that time, and you should know it very well as a nobleman. ”
"I know, you go on. ”
Although Zhao Xi's face was calm, he was actually confused, he even heard the news of the church's evacuation from the north from Dorothy's mouth, he was a traverser he knew a fart.
"Thirty years ago I was an ordinary priest, but luckily I was following the Holy Maiden of the time, Her Highness Edwina. ”
"Edwina, the legendary saint?"
Before Zhao Xi could say anything, Dorothy had already opened her mouth and exclaimed, she had grown up listening to the story of that saint since she was a child.
"It is the Great Highness. Bishop Darren nodded.
Zhao Xi glanced at Dorothy in surprise, he didn't know who that Edwina was, so he had to hope that Dorothy would explain it to him.
"The story of Edwina was told to me by my father, the last saint of the Church of Wisdom, who healed countless humans and aliens, and spread the light of God throughout the North. ”
Dorothy understood Zhao Xi's eyes and whispered to him beside her.
"And then?" Zhao Xi continued to ask.
Then, because of her opposition to the bishopric's plan to abandon the north, Her Highness was exiled by the bishops' order to abandon the northern border, and the seals were guarded. ”
Without waiting for Dorothy to speak, Bishop Darren opened his mouth to explain to Zhao Xi.
"There's a reason? Zhao Xi raised his eyebrows and asked.
"The reason? The reason is that Her Highness has misinterpreted the will of the gods, and the Holy Maiden has misinterpreted the will?
When Bishop Darren said this, his face was flushed, his hands clenched into fists, and he was very angry.
"What does this have to do with letting me go?" asked Cornelia on the side.
"Because I feel the scent of a saint in you, Miss Cornelia, have you seen Her Highness the saint anywhere?" Bishop Darren asked Cornelia with a kind face.
"I'm sorry, but I haven't met the Holy Maiden you spoke of. Cornelia shook her head.
"That's right. Bishop Darren said with a look of disappointment.
"But it doesn't matter, I believe that Her Highness will return to the North again one day, and then she will definitely bring the true will of God. "Speaking of this, Bishop Darren has a holy face.
Zhao Xi looked at Cornelia on the side and found that the other party was also looking at him.
"Don't you really know that saintess named Edwina?" Zhao Xi asked Cornelia in a low voice.
"I don't really know it, I don't have the slightest impression of the name in my head. Cornelia replied in a whisper.
"Since he pleaded for you when he was so dangerous, and what he said doesn't seem like a lie, I guess that Edvina may have something to do with you. Zhao Xi guessed.
"Perhaps. Cornelia nodded.
"Okay, do you have any other questions to ask?" Bishop Darren put away his excitement and looked at the three of them calmly.
"I wanted to know what the truth was that my father had given his life to find. ”
Dorothy stepped forward and looked at Bishop Darren across from her with a serious expression.
"The truth!" Bishop Darren sighed, then gestured to the stool beside him.
"It's a long story, if you can, please sit down and listen to me talk slowly, anyway, I'm just an ordinary person now, don't worry I'll run away. ”
Cornelia was cautious about refusing, but Dorothy across from her had already taken the lead in sitting across from Bishop Darren.
"He's right, he's really an ordinary person now. ”
Zhao Xi also probed Bishop Darren's panel, and saw that it was indeed as he said, just like ordinary people, and even inferior to ordinary people in some places.
"Don't be so vigilant, if you want to run, I'd have left yesterday when I saw Sifa and didn't come back. ”
Bishop Darren saw the caution of the two and smiled.
"Sister Cornelia, the general toxins have no effect on me now, and he can't hide it from me if he wants to use any means. ”
Dorothy was a little hesitant when she saw Cornelia, and directly said the changes that the bloodline transformation potion had brought to her.
Cornelia nodded after hearing this, but for the sake of safety, she still released three magic spells for herself and Zhao Xi, and then sat next to Dorothy with peace of mind.
When Bishop Darren saw that the three of them were ready, he cleared his throat and began to talk about the past for the three of them.
"The people in the town say that I was rescued by the old viscount, and I stayed in the town in order to repay the old viscount's kindness, in fact, this statement is wrong, the reason why I stay here is because this town is my family's fief, and the old viscount is my own brother. ”
Although Dorothy was prepared, knowing that the facts in Bishop Darren's mouth would be different from her own understanding, she did not expect that even his identity was different from her own understanding.
"We came from a merchant family, and my father was very smart and knew that nobility was essential if the family wanted to survive, so my brother was sent to a nobleman's house to be trained as a knight when he was very young, and I joined the Church of Wisdom. ”
"Speaking of which, my brother is also one of the beneficiaries of the evacuation of the church, he is one of the first knights to defect to Archduke Xavier, although his strength is not very outstanding, but he also did a lot of things for the Archduke, and finally was seriously injured in a battle, and was made a viscount by the Archduke, and was given a surname and rewarded this fief. ”
When Bishop Darren said this, he smiled at Zhao Xi.
"I heard that the nobles of the Magic Council gave Archduke Xavier a lot of help at that time, maybe your parents even had a friendship with Archduke Xavier. ”
"My family is long gone, and I don't know Archduke Xavier. ”
Zhao Xi hurriedly denied that he didn't want to fight with Grand Duke Xavier's tiger skin, if he really ran into the main lord in the future, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"That's a pity, Grand Duke Xavier is really a generation of heroes, he started out as just an ordinary knight, and he ruled the north in just ten years. ”
"But what does all this have to do with the truth of the matter?"
Dorothy asked impatiently, after all, she had heard these things countless times when she was a child, and even some famous examples she could tell vividly, but these were not what she wanted to hear.
"Don't worry, it all started in the second year of Grand Duke Xavier's reign in the north, when the Duchy was in ruins, but that year, the invasion of Chaos began. ”
"Although the main force of Chaos was not on the northern side, but chose to raid the Church Federation in the middle of the continent, just a few ordinary demon legions also plunged the northern territory into a bitter battle at that time, and it was almost the most difficult period in the northern realm. ”
"Although my brother was not called into the battlefield, he still took over the task of escorting supplies to the front line, and it was because of the task of escorting supplies that my brother saw the power of those demons. ”
"I don't know if you know anything about demons, excluding that kind of ordinary inferior demons, orthodox demons don't have to cultivate hard like humans, they will become stronger and stronger as they get older, and the king of the upper demons is the legendary rank. ”
"You have seen the Blood Demon, the Blood Demon is only one of the high-ranking demons, and there are no less than five demon races stronger than him. ”
Zhao Xi was a little shocked when he heard this, after all, the system had told him that the adult blood demon could be the enemy of the dragon, and it was stronger than the blood demon, didn't that mean that some demons were stronger than the dragon?
"Although the battle was fierce, Archduke Xavier was victorious, and it was only then that my brother realized that his strength was nothing in the face of a real crisis, and his qualifications were not good, and it was a fluke to be able to break through to a knight in this life, let alone a senior knight later. ”
"That's why it was at that time that my brother called me back from all over the world, firstly, I was also an extraordinary professional at that time, and I could provide a protective power for the territory, and secondly, I also wanted to ask from me about some ways to improve my strength. ”
"So the advice you gave him was to seize the power of the demons?" Zhao Xi asked Bishop Xiang Darren.
"How is that possible?" Bishop Darren chuckled, "Even the two of us together would not be a match for a Blood Demon, the only thing that would do so was to make him eat more abundantly today, and you really think that the method of seizing the power of the Demon was researched by me?"
"Isn't it?" Zhao Xi asked rhetorically.
"Although I have followed Her Highness the Holy Maiden, I am just an ordinary priest, how can I have such great ability. Bishop Darren said with a wry smile and shook his head.
"And at that time, we didn't want to plunder the energy of other creatures, my brother came to me more to solve the problems of Sifa, because Sifa has been weak and sickly since he was a child, and he has no qualifications to be a knight at all. ”
"You are also a nobleman, you also know that if a nobleman loses his extraordinary power, there are only two results, one is to be annexed by other nobles, and the other is to be deprived of his title, after all, the responsibility of nobles is to guard their own territory, but if you even lose the power to guard, how can a nobleman be a nobleman for a long time. ”
"How did that blood demon end up in your hands?" Zhao Xi continued.
"You may not believe it, but that blood demon was picked up by my brother and I when we went out looking for herbs for the West to cure the disease. Bishop Darren said with a wry smile.
