"Well, I know. Richard nodded pretentiously and began to talk nonsense, "I also know that the Holy Light God spent seven days to create the world, and I also know that there is a kingdom of God in the sky, and believers will go there after they die." ”

"You think I'm joking?" said Bishop Paul.

"It's not that I thought you were joking. Seeing that there was no more alcohol to drink, the lord did not want to stay in this old mossy monastery for long, so he pushed open the door and walked out into the street.

The street lamps on both sides have been lit, and the dim lights shrouded in the branches and leaves of the sycamore trees cast a very beautiful mottled shadow on the ground.

"The church did have an offensive divine art, but it was abandoned later, and it was abandoned by the church on its own initiative, and only the auxiliary blessing divine magic was retained. Bishop Paul followed from behind, "Do you know why?"

"Because you are all mentally retarded. Richard stretched.

Of course, he didn't believe it at all. The Church of the Holy Light can reach today's status in the entire human world, and the probability of being mentally handicapped is basically negligible.

Even if you have a hole in your brain, you won't do something stupid like taking the initiative to abandon the offensive magic technique. In his hometown, there are various special words to describe this kind of action, which is called self-defeating martial arts.

Unfortunately, that's not a compliment.

On the contrary, it was a milestone for the Church of Light. The soft light shone from the overhead streetlamp, making the handsome bishop look extremely serious, "In the beginning, the Holy Light Church was just an ordinary member of the sects, and it was difficult to develop. It wasn't until he made up his mind to abandon all offensive magic that it went smoothly. ”

"Oh?" the lord was finally interested, and he wanted to know what the hell this thing was going to say.

At that time, the confrontation between royal power and divine power was very fierce, and the various sects with a large number of theorcerers were not willing to be lonely, and they all embarked on the principle of competing for power. ”

"The Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess is like this, it has always relied on the Ice and Snow Priest to actively interfere in the world. Richard shrugged, "There are various reasons why Pompey expelled them, but there must also be a part of the reason why the royal power naturally does not tolerate threats. ”

"We are different, priests who can only assist in divine arts can't fight alone, even if it's at the Holy Cardinal level. Bishop Paul smiled slightly, "Attachment rather than dominance, and a church that lacks the ability to be independent, can easily become a friend of the royal power rather than an enemy, and this has won us many supporters." ”

"Holy. Richard instantly understood what the other party meant.

To be honest, it was a bit of a shock, something he had never thought about.

"Look at him. Paul pointed to an old parishioner sweeping up fallen leaves on the side of the road.

St. Vatis's occasionally opens the door to devout believers who are unable to support themselves, and asks them to do some chores to make ends meet, as is the case in this one. Although he is so old that he can't even straighten his waist, and he has to stop and rest for a while after a few sweeps, he is still very attentive.

"The hard teeth have long since been lost, but the soft tongue is intact, and this is the philosophy of our Holy Light Church. ”

"It's kind of interesting. ”

"It was a pleasure to chat with you. Paul was ready to take his leave, "It's getting late, we'll ...... next time

"Wait, I have something to ask. Richard grabbed him.

"You Holy Light Church has been operating in Stuart for so many years, you must have collected a lot of information, right?" the lord saw that he was about to open his mouth, and immediately added, "Don't say no, I'm not a fool and I'm not so easy to fool." ”

"Well, there are a few. Paul nodded slightly, "But even if Stuart has turned away from the Light, it would be a shame to divulge other people's secrets. ”

"I just want to see some information about the Blood Knights in the past, it shouldn't matter. Richard still had Dracula in mind.

Since the use of the Blood Magic Stone, this thing has become more and more handsome and more pretentious. Every day, I sigh at every turn, "why are beautiful colored clouds so easy to drift away", or "the delicate glass actually breaks my heart".

It makes people listen to the sour hair to the tail bones, and you don't need to eat barbecue with lemon.

If he hadn't been out day and night every day, his work and rest would have been staggered with everyone, and he would have been hammered to death.

"Richard, I might as well say it bluntly, the Blood Knight is definitely a very evil, very bloody, very twisted creation. Paul's expression was visibly displeased, "You're strong enough, that kind of thing won't give you any extra help." ”

"I didn't say I wanted to use it myself. The lord couldn't help but laugh, "One of my subordinates used the Blood Magic Stone, but the sequelae were very serious, so I wanted to see if I could find someone in a similar situation." ”

"Well, the ones that don't have a high level of secrecy, I can call the shots and show you. ”

"Okay. Richard agreed.

He thought to himself that he would take a look at the low-level ones first, and then it would be good to have enough at that time, but if it was not enough...... Then find another way. Anyway, how can a big living person suffocate urine.

What's more, it's still a big living person like him who is full of ghosts.

............

Time flies, and soon it is time for mediation to begin.

Richard followed the other members of the legation and sat in the huge conference room that could accommodate hundreds of people, and he crossed his legs.

He has not been involved in much of the private negotiations in the past few days, but just looking at Prince Schmidt's face that is getting gloomy day by day, he also knows that the situation is probably not optimistic.

Therefore, he hung a communication magic stone at Gaoshan Fort every once in a while, and told Buckland to supervise the production of ordnance, purchase military supplies, and strengthen the training of soldiers, in short, to make more preparations for war.

In Flis, Archmage Dupon had told him to try to take the initiative, but the current situation made Richard feel like he was resigned to fate.

It's really complicated to a certain extent-

Pompeii's appeal was for peace.

Stuart's appeal...... It's hard to guess, it's hard to say what Beruni is going to do, but at least he should want to shake the cauldron of the undead out of him.

San Jose's appeal must have been for Pompey and Stuart to continue the war so that they could bleed for a long time.

The Church of Light's appeal is to mediate successfully, to settle the spirits of the dead, and to show its image of influence and charity.

The Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess can also be regarded as a faction, judging from the results of the negotiations in the past few days, it seems that they want to take revenge on Pompeii who betrayed the ice and snow, and maybe hide the deep blue magic well that does not know whether it exists or not.

From a purely appealing point of view, Pompeii and the Church of the Holy Light can be regarded as a group, while the Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess is on the side of San Jose.

And none of the five parties involved in the mediation was able to maintain friendly relations with the other four parties at the same time. And Stuart's unclear attitude so far makes the already difficult to see situation even more unpredictable.

As soon as he thought of this, he felt that it was better to fight a battle.
