Chapter 134: The Caged Girl
(Cat pounces Chinese http://www.mpzw.com.)
www.mpzw.com) After the noisy and barbaric banquet, there is a straightforward negotiation.
The two sides quickly reached an agreement at the initial stage: Count Snowman approved the Church of Light's missionary work in the realm, provided the Scarlet Crusaders with a sufficiently large church site in the city, and the necessary funds and manpower for renovations, and the Scarlet Crusaders promised to come to the aid of the city in the event of an attack on it, and sent paladins to train the Count's soldiers.
As a side rule, for each Nord priest or paladin trained by the Scarlet Crusaders, Count Snowman was rewarded with 2,000 gold coins.
Further negotiations for cooperation have stalled, with Loria wanting Count Pavlov to convert to the Light, and Count Pavlov wanting Loria to accept his canonization.
As the daughter of the Duke, and one of the only two heirs of the ruined Steinblad on which hill it was, Loria could not have accepted the canonization of an otherworldly barbarian.
As one of the Nine Lords of Skyrim Province, Pavlov, who calls himself the 'Great One', has no intention of bowing to anyone, any force, or even any god.
Everyone wants to have an advantage in the negotiation, and no one wants to back down from their bottom line.
The Scarlet Crusaders would have a hard time spreading the Light without the permission of their local lords, and Count Snowman could not ignore the turmoil caused by the forced closure of the Church of Light.
So, after much temptation, Loria and Count Pavlov chose to compromise.
The Countess publicly declared her conversion to the Light, and Qianqian, a member of the Scarlet Crusade who was not yet anyone's vassal, accepted the Earl's fiefdom in the small village at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, Ezekiel.
After learning the outcome of the negotiations, Qianqian went from disbelief to ecstasy to bewilderment, and the recent fluctuating life chart made it impossible for her to judge the future.
Overnight, Qianqian went from being a poor mercenary lured into an extremist religious group into a Baroness Miss, and it took a long time for her to adjust to the change in status.
She didn't even know how to celebrate and celebrate, and finally chose to spend all the money she had in the store in Snowman, giving a bag of high-end candy to the two little girls in the team, Alice and Loria.
As for what she called Loria in private, she also changed sharply from dead Lori to dear Loria.
……
Clement walked through the snowy city, and was about to take over the church site as she walked through the streets of the snowy city.
The local residents looked tired and hurried, and she couldn't understand why the people who lived in such a beautiful land didn't always have happy expressions.
After a while, she finally remembered the time that felt so far away, and before the Scourge invaded, the people of Lordaeron never seemed to be grateful to live in a fertile land full of life.
The vulgar saying was probably true—only what is lost is precious, and she remembered what her eldest lady used to say: 'Resources are scarce, and because they are scarce, they are resources, and perhaps the air you breathe in is also a precious resource somewhere.' Isn't it normal for things to be scarce and expensive, so why bother with those meaningless feelings. ’
Thinking of the petite eldest lady saying strange things in a serious manner, Clement laughed.
An old man dressed in what looked like a sacrifice caught her eye, and he was shouting something to the people at the intersection of the roads, but the passers-by avoided him.
With a special interest in his peers, Clement stopped to listen. And the old man, who finally attracted the audience, became louder and louder.
For a long time, Clement understood only a few phrases from the old man's slurred, logically confused, and repeated words.
The world is about to be destroyed, the dragon, the Songard is defiled and a word called 'grasping the root treasure' is probably the name of a person.
Probably nothing more than crazy talk, Clement, who thought so, lost interest in listening any further, and turned to the most prosperous and spacious thoroughfare in the city.
A large but abandoned stone temple suddenly appeared on the most prosperous road in the city.
After asking a few passers-by, none of them knew about the building's past, and they only told Clement that no one wanted to take over it because of its proximity to the Temple of Death, and it was left unruly.
Clement carefully observed the building inside and out, and came to the conclusion that it could be used as a church of the Holy Light with little remodeling.
Then, she walked into the adjacent Temple of Death.
The entrance to the temple was a descending staircase, which reminded her of Lordaeron-style tombs—even if a ghost popped out of nowhere, it wouldn't be strange.
The Temple of the Dead underground, with its huge shelves full of dusty books, looks less like a temple than a forgotten library. There seemed to be a staircase leading to the lower level in the corner, but the door at the end was tightly bound by thick chains.
Clement had heard rumors about this place, a low-key, very moderate sect that seemed to believe that death would bring ultimate tranquility to the earth, and that it was God's most precious gift to man.
The general public has an instinct to yearn for life, so for a long time, this place has been avoided and neglected.
An old voice came intermittently, as if it was saying goodbye to someone.
Clement followed the sound, turned a corner, and saw the withered back of an old man in a shabby black robe, hunched and bowed head, speaking to a man who had been blocked.
"I'm worried about this, so please you couldn't be better, little girl. The old man's voice sounded so calm that it almost immediately made people feel good about him, and he laughed dryly twice before adding, "Don't worry too much, you are still yourself...... When you have free time, please come and read a book and talk to me. ”
"Thank you, Priest Sandru. ”
This was clearly Loria's voice, and just when Clement was surprised that Loria had actually taken the first step to establish a good relationship with the neighbor, her eldest lady continued: "Come here, Clement, I have something to tell you." ”
When the female knight saw Loria's petite figure being blocked, Loria said to her with her hands on her hips and at a very fast pace: "Find out where everyone is going in the early hours of this morning, and ask the knights who participated in the patrol if they have seen any strange people or things." A couple of kids were attacked by unknown guys last night, find him, and then eliminate him. ”
If this incident can be resolved, it will be very beneficial for the spread of the Light in the snowy city, Clement thought. What's more, the guy who hurts the children will never be forgiven!
