Inside the Council Chamber.

Mehams put a piece of information in front of Luo Lan's desk. His demeanor was unusually respectful.

Luo Lan's expression moved. He didn't go get that information. Instead, he leaned back. He smiled and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"It's not a fake dough. That clue Vice President Mursondall has been following. But it's a different story. About the Council of the Dead. Mehams bent over. Push your head down. Said: "Adults will be interested in it." ”

Luo Lan stretched out his hand and flipped through it. I couldn't help but be surprised: "Interesting." How did you get such detailed information?"

"It's not very difficult to find out exactly what they're doing. All my clues are from within the Dark Realm. Mehamus looked up slightly. Said: "Since the last time the adults explained to me. I have been keeping an eye on this aspect of the situation. In my opinion. Whether it's a manpower mobilization or a big operation. If it's really as big as adults think. Then there will definitely be traces. So I sent a few merchants to the Dark Realm to buy a lot of iron and grain. The result of the grain trading house was. Cargo is tight. There is nothing extra to sell. ”

"Oh?" Luo Lan's eyes flashed.

"The men I sent have walked through the Dark Realms in a few heavy yields. But almost all of them. And the reason why this anomaly has no effect on prices. That's because Shaloman had previously occupied two relatively wealthy provinces within the Celestial Cult's domain. New goods are constantly flowing into the Dark Realm. Interval time fills this gap. Therefore, we monks may not be aware of it. But that's just that. This is a big operation with a detailed plan and purpose. Otherwise, the Council of the Dead would not have made such a big move. ”

Luo Lan nodded. "Go on." ”

Mehams saw that his intelligence aroused Luo Lan's interest. Emotions can't help but run a little high. continued, "I have ordered a few more thieves with good skills to enter the mansion of the administrator of the Dark Realm. The specific accounts and trade trends of the carriage and iron shops in the past few months were thoroughly investigated. A large amount of supplies were found on their way to Berchtar. Nisa Town. Iron Arrow City flows in this direction. For further confirmation. I have men on the roads and rivers leading to these three. Sure enough, I found that every once in a while, many convoys and fleets passed by regularly. ”

Luo Lan said in a deep voice: "The picture!"

Mehams was prepared. He took out a picture and spread it out on the table. Fingers are dotted in several places. "It's just that I don't understand. These are not strategic towns. There is no threat to the kingdom of light. It's not just very remote from the affluent cities. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is somewhat desolate. There are no valuable production or mineral deposits. That's the only thing I can't figure out. ”

Luo Lan's eyes cruised on the map. Frowning and thinking about something. The monk closest to these three points will receive a territory belonging to the Knights' Union. There really is nothing special about it.

Mehamus said in a deep voice, "At this time, there is an emptiness inside the Dark Realm. If the Light Camp can take advantage of the situation. It will definitely catch them off guard. ”

Luo Lan shook his head. He sneered: "Now because the seat of the chief monk is undecided. Several major forces are fighting openly and secretly. There was simply no time to draw your hand to pay attention to the Council of the Dead. These Dark Realm guys have chosen the timing well. Or rather. They created the ......."

Speaking of which. His expression froze. Something seems to have come to mind. His gaze shifted suddenly. Landed on a rather conspicuous peak. A strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes. Subsequently. He smiled slowly and meaningfully.

"Naturally, there will be people to worry about these things. I guess some of the people in the monastic order already knew something in advance. But since they're not in a hurry. There is no need for us to actively get involved. The best thing to do at the moment is to wait and see. There was a pause. He smiled deeply. said, "You go back and prepare." Soon the show will begin. ”

Temple Training Ground. Gold and silver shield-shaped flags flutter in the wind. On the wide field, there are now several more than a dozen apprentices shouting and training.

"Whew!"

A dummy on a stake was cut in two by a neat sword from a young man. He stared at the tip of his sword. Feel the energy body above that responds to your breath. A faint glow flickered on the sword's body. Then it dimmed again.

The boy let out a slow breath. Back off. Retract the slashing sword.

"Andy. You're amazing. A young girl dressed as an apprentice priest looked at the boy with admiration. Dao: "In just a few days, you have learned the Divine Fighting Qi. ”

The boy was a little embarrassed to be praised. He sneered, "It's just that I've practiced a little before." It feels pretty much the same as that. So it's pretty much easy to practice. ”

The girl wrinkled her nose. Shaking his head, he said, "But I see that some Templar swordsman apprentices like you have spent a few months. Some of them take years to learn. ”

"Really?" the boy was surprised. Touched his head. "Maybe I'm lucky." ”

"Hmph! It's just a good teacher. "One wears the insignia of a Templar Swordsman apprentice on his chest. A burly young man walked over. He said in a sour tone, "If it weren't for the luck of following the paladin of Alfre. Do you think he's progressing so fast? Elaine. I advise you to stay away from him. I wonder if someone like this is a nobleman. Maybe it's just a pariah. ”

The girl said displeasedly, "Adonis." Don't say that about Andy. The clergy has always been limited to nobles. Since he is a disciple of the paladin of Alfre. How can it be civilians?"

"That's not a possibility. Adonis glanced Andy up and down. There was disdain in his eyes. Snorted from his nose. "Then why didn't he tell us his last name? Could it be a nobleman?"

"You!" the boy glared at him. His hand pressed on the hilt of his sword. This sentence just poked at his hidden pain. He was indeed just an unidentified civilian. But he has a surname. It's just that before their parents died, they repeatedly warned themselves that they couldn't say this surname. Although he didn't understand why. But keep a promise. This is the only way he can miss his parents.

"How. Want to do it? Let me see how much you've learned. Oh. I heard that you have mastered the Divine Fighting Qi? That's the Divine Fighting Qi. I'm so scared. Adonis said in a strange voice. A look of defiance.

The girl hurried between the two. Push Adonis away. Angry: "You are not allowed to bully Andy." ”

"Bullying him?" Adonis was stunned. Then let out a laugh. He held out his hand and pointed at the boy. "Boy." Hide behind a woman. Are you still a man? I'm ashamed of Lord Alfre. ”

The boy's face flushed. His hand gripped the sword and stared at the other. It seems that it may rush at any moment. But that's about it. After a while. His hand slowly released the hilt of his sword. Said calmly: "Elaine." Let's go. Ignore him. ”

He turned and walked away. The papal see's rules prohibit private fighting in the temple. Otherwise, the clergy will be disqualified. He knows that very well. To be strong. In order to rescue Miranda. He can't do it. At least not here.

The girl glared fiercely at Adonis. followed and chased after him.

Adonis's mocking voice came from behind. Said: "It turns out that it is inferior to a woman." You still want to be a Templar swordsman, dream!"

The boy's body seemed to pause. But there was no turning back. Just left the training ground.

The maiden ran to the boy's side. Walk side by side with him. Patted his chest. After being afraid, he said, "Andy." I'm afraid you'll do it. Adonis is the strongest man we have here. It is said that he will participate in the official Templar Swordsman Trial next week. ”

The boy shook his head. "He's not afraid of him. ”

"I know. The girl's eyes sparkled. She held a boy's hand. Blinked. "Let's go." I'll take you to my sister. ”

"What's so good about your sister. The boy muttered in his heart. But it was held by that soft little hand. Suddenly there was a strange feeling. But he involuntarily pulled and ran.

William's Cloak & Hats is the largest clothing trade in the city. Silk from the Free City-States and the East to the Magic Silk Fabric from the Western Continent. It's all about finding traces here. It's right next door to this cloakhouse. It is the favorite coffee shop of the aristocracy. It was frequented by dignitaries and dignitaries.

When the boy was dragged here. Some scratch your head. "Aren't we going to see your sister?" I don't like to drink coffee......"

"Don't ask. You'll find out when you come in. The girl's face was mysterious. Pulled the teenager in directly.

The attendant at the door apparently knew the girl. Hurriedly opened the door. A flattering smile had just appeared. But the girl winked at her. The squire glanced at the boy for a year. Immediately understood. Bend down to give a salute. Respectfully, he said, "What do you two want?"

"Then two glasses of coconut gel from the South Sea. The girl waved her hand generously.

"Wait, both of you. ”

The attendant originally wanted to take the two to the VIP area. But the teenager clearly didn't like that kind of quiet place. This is quite in line with the girl's heart. The two men finally sat down in the hall.

The boy had never been to such a party before. I can't help but feel a little nervous. Naturally, it is revealed in the demeanor. The girl who watched giggled.

This time. A woman who was a little older than the girl walked over. Got to the two of them. Reproached: "Elaine." How to bring a friend. Don't say a word to me. ”

The girl hurriedly took the young man's hand. "Look." This is my sister. What do you think. Pretty, isn't it?"

The boy looked up. The two sisters were really convinced. But Elaine may still be a little bubbly and mischievous. But her sister is an introvert at first sight. Just smiled at the teenager. But he didn't say much.

The girl's voice was a little loud. A man sitting alone drinking coffee on the side frowned. Glanced at them.

The girl leaned in front of the boy. said: "Don't underestimate my sister. He's a high-ranking priest. ”

"Really?" the boy's eyes widened. He's not the little mercenary who doesn't know anything anymore. I know a little bit about some of the hierarchies of the Holy See.

"Not only that. My sister. She's the one who followed the Bishop of Landiston against Shaloman. In the end, she broke off with a mage next to Bishop Landiston. Covering the retreat of the brigade. The girl said triumphantly.

The boy now knows what the bishop represents. But he was in front of others, and it was the first time he had heard someone talk about him. In fact, everyone who knows the inside knows that he was introduced by a friend of the bishop. Naturally, I didn't dare to talk too much in front of him.

He hesitated. I couldn't help but ask, "Bishop Landiston." Isn't it amazing?"

"What?" the girl's eyes widened. "You wouldn't have heard that Charlemagne, the vice president of the Mercenary Guild, was defeated by Bishop Lantiston himself a few days ago, right?"

The boy was stunned. Stunned, he said, "Charlemagne was obviously stabbed by me." How did it become a credit to Bishop Landiston?"

The man sitting on the side couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. Continue to drink coffee. But the ears were pricked up.

"Brag. "The girl didn't believe it this time. "Charlemagne was obviously killed by Bishop Landiston. ”

"Who said that? Things are not at all what Lord Landiston said. The young man said angrily: "I stabbed Charlemagne's last sword that seriously injured him. And. And. He is obviously not dead. ”

The man next to him suddenly took the porcelain cup to his lips. My eyelids also jumped twice. Rudian's gaze suddenly swept towards the boy.
