Chapter 110 The Sacred Heart Waits
Since there were two weddings and a knights' conference to be held, the Holy Trinity Castle was crowded and noisy, at least in the annexed city below the hillside. Knights from all over the world, not just Aria or Feinberg's, but also strangely dressed people from further afield, such as the Turtle Rock Desert and the Giant Elephant Grove Valley, popped up. Those who participate in the competition serve the contestants, the spectators who want to earn the audience's money, the benevolent and the roosters and dogs all gather together.
"Is this where the castle occupies the high ground and the nobles live in it, and the commercial area can only be spread out in the lower place?"
"What are you talking about, Lord Feige?" asked Shani, who didn't hear clearly, curiously.
"No, I'm observing these people around me. Fei Qi diverted the topic and pointed to a bare-backed, lean man with tiny iron rings on his skin, and seven or eight people dressed similarly around him, who could be seen to be a group: "Where is that? If there were more iron rings, he wouldn't have to wear chain mail!"
"Look at the dress should be the barbarians of Carbenshan, they have a set of skills in mountain warfare. It's hard to imagine them coming, though. Whether it's Aria, Feinberg, or Exemplary Leader, most of the place is plain, and only the cavalry is the real fighting power. ”
"I'd like to know how the rings on their bodies prevent rust and how they can prevent their wounds from getting worse after they wear them. ”
"Shall I ask them, then?"
"I'll have a chance later. There were too many people here, so I hurried to the Church to report, and then asked where Didrite was. ”
After showing the Holy Emblem and the Monster Hunter Badge, Feige first grabbed an inn room in the business district. The room is not big, only a big bed, and it will be very crowded for three people to sleep. Feige didn't mind, he must have a place to stay on the cardinal's side anyway, and the hotel room was just a backup. However, the shopkeeper kept squeezing his eyebrows, expressing full envy and understanding of Feige's good luck.
This is the territory of the church, and the pastor is definitely taken care of. As soon as Feige held up the emblem, his carriage passed the inspection and left the business district and entered the winding mountain road. However, Shani and Beni caution that due to the limited total capacity of the castle area on the mountainside, the carriage can only be stored, and only the paladins can ride the entire distance. Thinking about it this way, it would be easier to simply leave the car in the hotel.
After walking along the mountain road for more than half an hour, the three of them finally came to the center of the three major sects. The imposing castle and church formed an imposing momentum that pressed from all sides, making Feige feel nervous. The power of the Goddess of Truth Thunder is manifesting in the human world, and it is concentrated in this area, and the devil is being greatly suppressed. Here, not only can he not take out the devil's contract, but he can't even observe the soul fire of others. There will be no more begging for a contract, but a song of praise to the Goddess and a supplication for goodness and justice.
"Are you two alright?" Feige wiped his sweat, disguised his nervousness as the fatigue of climbing the mountain.
"We're fine. Here we feel at peace, the savage part of the half-breed is completely suppressed and will not come out to make trouble. So, we feel good. ”
"It seems that your piety has paid off. Feige compared himself to the two of them, and realized that he could never reach the level of devotion of the two of them, which may be why he was even more uncomfortable. So he strengthened the mana of the aura obscuring spell, just like wrapping his clothes around in cold weather. It was still cold outside, but he could at least feel a little better.
Continuing on, they came to the Sacred Heart Church. The gates of the Church are flanked by a pair of tall angel statues, holding spears and shields in a vigilant posture with six wings together. On the base of the statue, there is a brass plaque on the left and right, on which are densely engraved with the names of people. On the left is the priest and on the right is the paladin, all of whom have died fighting and making significant contributions to the church. There are always bouquets of flowers under the statues, and dozens of candles burn slowly, and the candlelight is hazy.
Passing through the statue, Feige displays the emblem, which can be accessed through the gate on the left. The passage on the left is just under the sun, and the passage on the right is always obscured by angel statues. It is for non-church personnel, who come to the Sacred Heart Church, mostly to report and expose, so they need to be more secretive. But in Feige's view, this is just a beautiful idea that has no practical effect.
Because there is no one in or out there.
Entering the hall through the main door, the sunlight shines through the stained glass, reflecting the place brightly and brilliantly. In the center of the hall stands a towering pure white stone tablet with a long poem "Loyal Paladin" in dark blue font, to the effect that we should always be vigilant against the enemy and always be ready to sacrifice. Passing the stele, at the end of the hall was a man with a thin face, sitting behind a low table, writing a booklet with a quill. He wore a priest's robe, but his sleeves were rolled up high, revealing two slender arms. Feige walked over, just in time to block out the sunlight, which made him look up from the booklet and make a serious expression with his slender black beard.
"What's the matter?"
"I'm Fege Snowman Icepeak, from Icepeak Fortress. Lord Kiprin received news that the Sacred Heart Church had asked me to interpret the oracle and asked me to report here. I ......"
"Got it, say your name again, Feige...... Snowman...... Ice Peak. He wrote the name on the booklet in front of him, and then pointed to the side with a quill pen: "Go and sit on the stool over there and wait." I'll look it up and call your name. ”
Feige took Beni and Shaney to sit down on a bench by the wall. There were five rows of ten benches here, and there were only three of them waiting. Feige spread out his hands, and there was nothing to do, so he took the abacus and charcoal from Shani's hand, continued to deduce the spell, and lay on top of his head at midnight. Xia Ni and Beni took out their parchment checkers board and played with silver and bronze coins.
Checkers were taught to them by Feige, and if he joined in, he would use gold coins.
There were people coming and going, people walking straight past the low desks, into the back office area, or going up the stairs to the higher floors, but no one came to call Feige by his name. After a while, a young man in a gray robe said a few words at the low table, and then came to the bench waiting area and sat down in front of Feiqi.
He couldn't sit still, looking back behind him from time to time. After watching the checkers duel between the two girls for a while, he began to read the booklet in Feiqi's hand again. The runes and calculations in it can only be understood by Fei Qi alone, and to others it is like a book from heaven. But the young man looked at it for a while, and he was able to ask, "Are you studying spells for spells?"
"How do you tell?" the guy immediately piqued Feige's interest.
"I don't understand what you're writing at all, it's in line with the characteristics of spells. Oh, and by the way, my name is Vega, and I'm Rhyz Vega, and I'm a spell researcher. ”
"Good name. I'm Feige Snowman Icepeak, a confession priest and monster hunter, and I'm a spell researcher. Feige shook his hand gently, then asked Shani, "Haven't you called me yet?"
"It's generally slow. "He sees you as a new face, so he deliberately hangs you for a while." It is said that there is a truth that kindness and obedience are embodied in patience. ”
"Oh...... Then I understand. You two can continue to play, don't worry. Feige picked up the quill again. The deduction of a new spell was almost complete, and he wanted to keep his train of thought coherent.
"You're not in a hurry, what are you here to do?"
"Study the oracle. Feige replied while calculating, "The goddess said to let everyone find it, isn't this about for everyone to start looking?"
"You know, I'm one of them. I'm here today to receive the Divine View Great Prophecy Volume. ”
Feiqi raised his head suddenly, his eyes blazing: "Is the general book you said a complete record of all the spells of the Great Prophecy Technique?"
"yes, that's it. Ruiz walked around the bench in front of him and sat down next to Feiqi, "I heard you say that you're a priest, a monster hunter, and a spell researcher. There are four main parts to the study of oracles: the Apocalyptic Priests are communicating with the Celestial Realm and trying to get answers, the True Priests are trying to improve their vision and then use it to find answers, the Paladins are running around and conducting field surveys, and there are miscellaneous spell researchers who are idle and idle. Priests can join the first two, Monster Hunters are about the same as Paladins and can also wander outside, and Spell Researchers are not to mention. Who are you going to join?"
"I want to see all the spells of the Great Prophecy Spell, so who should I join?"
"Pastor True Righteousness is doing this. By the way, what kind of material is your emblem made of?"
"Silver. Do you need a bishop level to see the full spell?"
"You guessed pretty much. I've heard that Pastor True Righteousness is very particular about this. The average silver priest doesn't have much to say, it's probably just an errand job. Ruiz thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you join the Spell Researcher?" I have a way for you to see the full text of the spell. ”
"You, with all due respect, I don't understand why you're doing this, and I don't know how you do it. Can you explain?"
"I'm the youngest of the spell researchers, and I need a friend close in age - the others are too old to talk to, and it's boring. I've always believed that change is better than no change, so I welcome you. Ruiz laughs and says, "As for how to do it, it's actually very simple. Since I don't matter, my job is to run errands for the true pastors, taking this, taking that, and often transcribing some materials and so on. I can lend out the full text of the spell, and then you can just copy it again. As long as it doesn't get out, no one will care. ”
"Sounds interesting, and doable. Feige nodded. The choice of being able to stay away from the high-ranking priests, bishops, and paladins was all good choices, but out of caution, he said tactfully: "Well, if it's not a direct assignment, but if I can choose where to go, then I'll go to the spell research group." ”
"Then there is a good chance that you have come to us, and I welcome you in advance. Oh, I have a suggestion, go to the Tabaku Imported Grocery Store in the business district and buy some white winter tobacco, those old men like to smoke this, and they won't care about you. ”
"Thanks for the reminder. Feige smiled and responded, "Since you talked about greeting gifts, do you have anything you like?"
"Can you tell me what they're playing? Can this game be used for betting? I'm fed up with dice throwing, and it would be great if I could change something about it!"
