Chapter 13: Iros Receives Reinforcements

General Iros is now the nominal commander of the city of Birti, and although he can actually lead a small number of soldiers, both the Countess of Destiny and Talenc Crawford must report back to him before making a final decision. He was a pawn sent by Emperor Defiot to balance and restrain Albert, but the general himself saw this as a good time for him to make a name for himself.

The sharp-eared black elves of Bishop Mirière in the church of Bilti accidentally caught the interest of the bearded general, and the strange fellows were still imprisoned in Bilti prison. They have little meaningful activity other than eating, drinking, and Lazar, and they don't communicate with each other, let alone confide in humans.

Tarun repeatedly reminded Iros to prepare for a possible magical raid in Kentan, but General Beard, like the others, had no idea how to guard against spells. The story of the unexpected earthquake and the raid on Bishop Mirière by the Black Elves clearly touched him, and he thought he had found a way.

Since we need to share the same hatred for the enemy, why not win them over as well? It is better to have more strength than one more enemy. However, his idea was immediately strongly opposed by Tarun. Albert's military advisor repeatedly reminded: "Although there is no evidence that the earthquake is related to them, it is clear that these guys are still very dangerous." You don't know what's in their minds, and you can't predict what they'll do next. Although these elves of the Danse Forest are nominally subject to the jurisdiction of our Tamborance Empire, they are in fact independent existences. The risks are too great to outweigh the losses. ”

General Iros didn't listen to this, he was a man who liked to go his own way, and this time he came to the country of Stinipe, and the general brought with him the necromancer who had shown his skills in the past in Gred City. As the saying goes, peers are light, but this necromancer was able to abandon this bad habit and ask to meet with the dark elves who could wield the power of nature. The necromancer is a magical maniac who is obsessed with all kinds of strange and obscene tricks, he does not pay attention to morality and does not care about any public order and good customs, but blindly tries to find a way to exhaust all kinds of strange spells in the world.

Neo, taught by Cortés, has not appeared in public since Albert's side saw through the tricks, and has never expressed any personal opinions. It wasn't that he was guilty, nor was he afraid of any blows and retaliation. He looked down on Pisius and always thought he was worthy of being the Pope of the Cortése Sect. He has been recuperating and planning for a long time, and now he has finally found a breakthrough.

The necromancer under General Iros became a close friend of him. The scope of magic that two people know can just complement each other, and the two people's attachment to magic can also be superimposed. Neo had long been interested in those Black Elves, but at that time there would be no one in the entire city of Bilti to support him, but now the situation is very different, the Duchy of Borot and the Kingdom of Destinipe have a general of Iros on their heads, as long as the general agrees, there will be no hindrance.

The Black Elves would not have said a word, but the Necromancer and Neo had shown admirable persuasion skills. They don't ask where the other came from or what their purpose is, they just desperately explain their obsession with magic and their vision of freedom if they are willing to contribute.

The pointed ears of the leader were obviously a little tempted, but he said in the third chapter: "First, the golden seal on his forehead that restricts the use of magic must be removed immediately and unconditionally. Second, we don't want to be too visible and get involved in human strife, and we can ask for help, but we have to hide our identity. Thirdly, we must be allowed free access to the Birthi Church and all its underground and ancillary facilities, without being hindered or disturbed by the polydocs. If so, we can help you. ”

The necromancer discussed with Neo for a moment, and then responded in a very polite but very formal tone: "Of course, the first one is no problem, because what we need is your magical ability, if you can't cast spells freely, what's the point? It is this third point, I must ask, is there really any special secret in the church of Birthi that is worth your great trouble? Those brethren have no worldly power, but they have a polydocical pope on their heads, and even Emperor Divot has to avoid three points, and it is better not to provoke them unless it is absolutely necessary. ”

As soon as the pointed ears of the leader heard this, he shook his head again and again and said: "The third one is a key element related to all the Bodi Continent and even all living beings in the world, if you don't agree with this one, then there is no point in saying anything!"

The necromancer couldn't read the other party's mind, and he didn't have much confidence in provoking Bojiao. As a Cortex cultist who was officially recognized as a heretic by Bojiao, Neo was vaguely aware of what the other party was looking for, and it was likely that Bojiao would dig up the great secret that Bojiao had tried to hide for thousands of years.

From the very beginning of its birth, the Kotés cult was destined to compete with the fate of the Bo Sect, and these so-called heretics kept digging up the black history of the Bo Sect, always fantasizing that one day they could overthrow this supernatural giant and let the Kotex Cult they believed in dominate the Bodi continent.

There may be something to be admired about their intentions, but the reality is that it is difficult for this sect not to be spurned by the vast majority of the people of the Tamborance Empire. They rise quickly, but fall even faster. While they have exhausted the sins of teaching, they are also doing the same or even more intensified things. According to their official account, the monasteries and churches of the Liberal Sect collected tithes from the surrounding people, and according to their official account, this was because the Prophet Cyril had said that one-tenth of all the agricultural and commercial products of the world belonged to the Heavens, and that the Liberal Scholars were merely acting on behalf of the Heavens. Because the popularity of Cortés is far less than that of Bojiao, the tithes he levied can be called tithes or even tithes, and such arbitrary taxation is obviously difficult to win people's hearts. The only gathering place they had on the table was the Kotés headquarters outside the imperial capital of Sisa, which was secretly protected by the emperor, and although there was some great momentum in other places, it was difficult to take root, so they could only find some natural caves or abandoned dwellings outside the wilderness to transform them into secret meeting places. They were tightly suppressed by the Liberal Sect, so they had to resort to some special terrorist means to form gangs in order to increase and absorb new followers.

Neo came close to joining the ranks of the Liberal Arts, but due to the fierce competition within the Liberal Arts, he finally chose to take what he thought was a shortcut, and went to the relatively scarce Church of Cortex to pursue his career. Some people can easily go on a white-and-black path, and Neo is such a character. Since he had identified the Kotés Sect, the Bo Sect was immediately completely smeared by him with the color of a demon. Since he is not a lamb in Enlightenment, he is destined to be the executioner of Enlightenment.

He understands the truth of people's hearts and minds, and also understands the power of tearing down walls, so he began his journey of reading various history books and liberal arts classics a long time ago. He was always thinking about applying what he had learned, fantasizing that one day he could make a blockbuster and theoretically push Bojiao into the abyss of no return.

The legend of the Polymathic prophet Cyril and his eight disciples was remembered upside down in his mind like three meals a day. The necromancer under General Iros also mentioned the movement under the graveyard of Gred City during a small talk, although it was a nonsense after dinner, but the alert Neo immediately realized the meaning behind it. Bojiao is certainly not as glamorous as it seems, and it must have its own hidden shadows and black holes waiting to be discovered.

The rhetoric of the Black Elves naturally intrigued Neo. He summoned the necromancer to consult with General Iros, and asked the actual commander to find a way to pacify the monks in the church of Birti.

Since Iros was bent on making a contribution, he decisively agreed to Neo's request, and the black elves were released as a matter of course.

When the Countess of Destiny learned of the news, she immediately rushed to question Iros's intentions. These pointy ears are the main culprits in the murder of Bishop Mirière, how can it be said that they can be let go? This is the city of Birti, although the great enemy is present, and the emperor is in charge of the whole situation, the detention and disposal of these people obviously belong to the internal affairs of the local government, how can you casually stretch your claws here?

The countess was unceremoniously and reasonably, and did not think in the slightest to save face for General Iros. If this had been someone else, I'm afraid it would have already turned the world upside down. But the bearded handsome man with a gloomy face considered that the other party was a female baby, and there would be no actual loss if he scolded himself like this, so it was better to endure it, gain a good name, and let the emperor know his atmosphere in the future.

He kept rubbing the beard on his face, and stood there calmly looking at the little girl who was trembling with flowers. At this time, Talen Crawford also rushed over, and he immediately suppressed Claudia's untimely resentment, and kept admonishing her to calm down. Iros's necromancer and Neo, the Cortés cultist, also said some high-sounding words in an attempt to calm things down.

Once Claudia, an isolated and weak woman, broke out, the energy was still very considerable. In order to calm her down, Tarun picked her up in public, and whispered some comforting words in her ear. This is a gaffe and an abnormal move, but it is also a measure that is helpless and unavoidable. Because Claudia is obviously about to turn her mouth into a hands-on action. After she was stopped by Talen, she still seemed to be suppressed by inertia, and kept hitting the face and chin of the Great Army Division with her elbow. Tarun was even bleeding from his nose, but he was still whispering into the countess's ear.

Claudia had no strength to struggle, no strength to resist, and she swooped and rushed out alone, leaving only the sneering Iros and the unstoppable nosebleed of Talen Crawford. Neo took out his spare handkerchief and handed it to him, but Tarun didn't accept it. He just said goodbye to General Iros, and hurried out, apparently bewildered by a heavy preoccupation.

After he walked away, Neo only said lightly: "General, I think there must be some secret between these two people!"

"Oh, yes? I think so, but let's put this matter aside for a moment, and let's discuss the countermeasures against the Kentan rebels first. ”
