Volume 9 The Journey of Slaying the Dragon Chapter 40 You Are a Smart Man (II)
A man crashed into the room, he looked left and right, and then shouted, "Dangerous fellow, you are really here." He rushed up and grabbed Luo Lan, then dragged him and ran out, muttering as he ran: "I said, dangerous guy, why does that middle-aged little white face look so familiar?"
He spoke to himself, unaware of the whiter face of the Monk Morgowards, who had been left behind.
What an apt metaphor for the middle-aged little white face, Luo Lan shouted in his heart.
As usual, Luo Lan avoided this person, but today he felt that the other party was unprecedentedly cordial. Just a moment ago, Mogowards's body rippled with a strange aura that seemed to be nothing, just as Luo Lan's heart swelled with uneasy feelings, with this person's reckless intrusion, the originally frozen atmosphere was suddenly shattered, and in a good mood, he glanced inward from the corner of his eye, and mocked in a mocking tone: "Florsanders, you don't know this honorable and noble lord? Could it be that he is standing too high and too far away, so that your vision is blurred?"
The corners of Frosandros' mouth crooked, and he said, "Dangerous guy, don't you know that your human heart is the most complex and difficult to see?"
Luo Lan glanced at Flor Sanders in astonishment, and he sighed, the latter has always spoken directly and embarrassingly, and today there is still a little philosophical metaphor in it, but the lethality has not diminished at all. Listening to the voices of the two people getting farther and farther apart, a cold glow flashed in the depths of Mogoworth's eyes, and then, he smiled indifferently, and the white glow hidden in the palm of his hand quietly dispersed.
After the two of them ran out of the hall, Luo Lan let out a long breath, although he had been out of Morgowards' sight just now, the feeling of extreme danger was like spider silk. It seems that he can be tied up at any time, and if he is not freed in time, he may fall into a quagmire until he becomes an ant trapped in a cocoon.
Only then did he remember to ask, "Frosandros, what's the matter with me?"
"It's Priest Devany who wants to find you, hehe, they don't know where you are, but I know when I smell it. Florsanders looked triumphant.
The terrain inside the Great Wave Fortress is complex, with dense corridors and towers. There were also an unusually large number of empty halls, which had been built purely for military purposes, but after the arrival of the Monks, they became the camp of the nobles. Of course, with such a large fortress, the increased protection also makes it more difficult to find someone alone.
Luo Lan frowned slightly, he secretly speculated that Devany was in such a hurry to find him, and there was a chance that something suddenly happened.
Daphne's home is on the west side of the fortress, next to two tall spired towers, and there are several tight checkpoints to pass through. The priest guards on both sides who were in charge of guarding all looked solemn, which further confirmed Luo Lan's judgment.
Looking out through the porch window, you can see the vast and endless sea. Half of the body of the red sunset has sunk into the sea level, as if it will sink anytime and anywhere. The mountains on either side of the harbor have pale cyan outlines, like giant wings to protect the place, and the dim light reveals strange shadowy reflections on the ground, and the sea breeze swishs on the cheeks with droplets of water drifting from nowhere, with a slight hint of saltiness.
Before he could get close to the inner hall, Florsanders had already shouted loudly, "Daphne, I've found you the dangerous guy." ”
A voice of surprise sounded from inside, "Is Pastor Landon here?"
Luo Lan stepped into the hall with one foot, and greeted him with a pair of clear eyes, but they were in the depths of those eyes. But he saw a hint of worry and anxiety, he and Daphne had not seen each other since they got on the ship, but he felt that the relationship between the two was not as distant as expected, but there was an indescribable affection, like two invisible threads pulling each other together. It can neither be cut nor brought closer.
He noticed that in addition to Devonie, there was an old man dressed as a priest sitting in the room, and a thin young man standing behind him, who seemed to be a servant. The old man didn't say anything about Luo Lan's arrival. He sat there without saying a word, looking at him with unfriendly eyes.
"Pastor Langton. Allow me to introduce you to this Rust priest from the diocese of Morganmona in the Western Continent, and this is his disciple Matthews. Devany said with a smile as she pointed to the old man and the young man behind him.
Rust Priest stood up reluctantly, he nodded reluctantly, said hello to Luo Lan, and then sat down on his own, with a calm face and a word.
Luo Lan smiled slightly, and put all the thoughts in his heart on his face, although this priest lord is not low, he is not a difficult person to deal with, but what are they doing here? He clearly remembered in his mind that because the Western Continent was full of believers of the Heavenly God Sect, it was called the desert of Radiant Believers, and he had never heard that there was actually a parish there.
In contrast, he focused more on the young man, who had a tie-around hat peculiar to the South China Seas, bright eyes, and brown skin that informed people that he was a true Cynthia, and he couldn't help but wonder when a clergyman was born in this race known for its slavery and production.
In contrast to the attitude of the Rust sacrifice, the Cynthia smiled kindly at Luo Lan, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"I have taken the liberty of bringing Pastor Landon here this time to discuss an important matter with your wisdom. ”
Daphne frowned with an incomprehensible melancholy, she invited Luo Lan to sit down, clapped her hands, and a slender waist waitress with a white veil covering her face and revealing a snow-white belly walked over and poured him a cup of fragrant tranquility dew with a delicate long-spouted copper kettle. This exotic maid is one of the "produces" of the South China Sea: the Esch slave girl. Not only are they good at singing and dancing, but they are also particularly good at brewing the unique "drinking dew" of the South China Sea, and of course, because of their rarity, only the noble are entitled to enjoy it.
Luo Lan didn't answer immediately, he thought for a moment, and then said seriously: "Do my best." ”
Devoni nodded happily, Luo Lan didn't accept it. And the steady and old style is what she admires the most, it is more reliable than any verbal oath, but the latter gave an affirmative answer without asking what it was, in Daphne's opinion, this is a trust in her person without any reservation, and she can't help but feel a sweet feeling in her heart, and when it comes to her mouth, her voice can't help but become a little softer, and said, "Presumably Pastor Lanton has noticed, today's council." Brother Midler did not show up. ”
Luo Lan nodded, the absence of a chief monk was probably one of the reasons why it was difficult for the meeting to go smoothly.
Devine sighed and said bitterly, "It's not that Brother Midler is deliberately absent, but that he has returned to the arms of the Lord and entered the eternal land of light. ”
"What?" Luo Lan was taken aback, then he frowned and said in a deep voice, "What is the cause of death?"
Devany said with difficulty, "He was killed yesterday. "The chief monk was killed?
This explosive news only moved Luo Lan's expression, and he immediately fell silent. He thought to himself, since this was yesterday, the monks must have known the news today. But they didn't say anything. Not even a representation. However, it is very subtle that three of the five monks in this dragon slaying battle are from the Holy See, and Brother Midler is one of them, and they originally had an absolute overwhelming advantage in this operation, but with the death of Midresius, this situation was broken.
"Brother Midler is the only diocesan bishop of the Western Continent, and the Rust Priesthood is subordinate to him, and this time he brought with him a three-hundred-man Templar elite swordsman guard and a fifty-man priesthood, which is already all the strength of the Diocese of Morgan Mona. Devany explained, frowning, "And the Rust Priest is worried. What will be the fate of this guard after the loss of Brother Midler? ”
Luo Lan's eyes flickered slightly, he had already roughly seen the doorway, this Senior Brother Midler was likely to be very close to the temple forces represented by Devany, or rather. There was some kind of agreement, and after the unexpected death of the man, the Rust priest was afraid that the power in his hands would be swallowed up by someone to destroy the black dragon, so he had to come to Daphne in the hope of her help.
The Rust priest snorted. "Priest Daphne thinks. Pastor Langton was thoughtful and deeply devoted to the Lord. So I tried my best to recommend you, in her words, that you are a smart person, that you must have a solution to this little problem. Rust Priest said lightly, glanced at Luo Lan's body again, and said with contempt: "But, I didn't expect you to be so young, I'm thinking, should I choose you?"
Luo Lan quietly picked up the copper cup, took a sip gently, and a refreshing coolness suddenly poured from his throat into his heart, and the whole person suddenly felt a burst of comfort, he smiled at the other party, and said, "Is this just a trouble?"
Although this priest had a tough tone, Luo Lan had already seen the hesitation in his heart.
All the forces of the Diocese of Morgan Morgan, the 300-member Templar Elite Swordsman Guard, and the 50-member Priesthood, what does this mean? This shows that the Diocese of the Western Continent is probably suffering from a mutation, so it is just under the pretext of exterminating the Black Dragon as an excuse to bring all the clergy into the Middle Continent!
This is indeed a considerable wealth, and it is an ownerless wealth, and it is absolutely impossible to say that no one covets this power.
They are like gold exposed on the beach, and there are countless pairs of greedy eyes that are shooting a naked light, which may be pounced anytime and anywhere. The reason why they haven't done it yet is because these people know very well that the watching forces hiding in the shadows are also watching them, but this situation will be broken sooner or later, and it will be soon. Luo Lan slowly put down the copper cup, smiled deeply, and said, "I seem to feel that the two of us meet each other, and it is God's guidance in the dark. ”
