On the ninth day of Roland's arrival in Bethlehem. [Latest chapter reading.]

Two large teams were moving in the northwest and northeast directions of North Sereim, as if two sharp horns were sticking out of North Sereem.

When the barbarian nobles heard once again that the new slave caravan was still in the midst of seemingly endless "negotiations" with the Knights, they looked regretfully at the unending gambling board and went back to sleep with a yawn.

And they probably did not know at this moment that a crisis was about to uproot the barbarians from Bethlehem, and that the two groups of men, who were now nothing to mention in their eyes, or even a pastime, would in the near future raise their swords and stab their final blows at the wounds that had already been badly wounded, after the bone spear from the wild highlands had stabbed Beiselen.

In the afternoon, there was a terrifying vibration in the sky, a dazzling white light beneath the lead-gray clouds, lightning like a silver snake shuttling through the sky, and a collapse vibration at the end, causing the eardrums to echo with a lingering aftersound, like a wind sweeping from the sky to spread the broken and messy land of the gods.

In the spacious tent, there was a long black wooden table, Luo Lan was sitting at the top, on each side were ten spear-wielding Templar swordsmen, behind him, on the left and on the right stood disciples Lemon and Janice, respectively, and Xi Jiesi put on a glittering holy Templar armor, standing solemnly on the corner of the table, holding a rolled up banner in both hands.

From the moment I walked into the tent. All know that the sacred moment is coming.

Rust nodded a few times on his chest and forehead, muttering something. And Hedamic was inexplicably excited, Lady Belinda's beautiful eyes were shining, and her breathing couldn't help but be a little shorter, and several Templar swordsman captains glanced at each other, all showing excited expressions, they, slowly sat down on the right side of the long table, and the banshee patriarch loved Sarah. Stick, the succubus Morgantana, and the undead captain Simpuk are seated on the left.

Luo Lan's face appeared with a rare seriousness, and he said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Bethlehem is the preaching place of the first pope, the closest heavenly kingdom to my lord, even if it is in a deep sleep. You can hear God's breath in your ears. His words were close at hand, but they felt as if they were coming from far away: "This place is simple, but one day when you are surrounded by garlands and divine light, I hope you can remember the sound of us drawing our swords together!"

"Boom!"

Luo Lan pulled out the saber on his waist at once, a light and shadow flickered and jumped, and the strong wind through the tent drove the candle flame to sway, and he said loudly: "Under the witness of brilliance." I, Lundy Lantiston, hereby swear that on the path to the source of light, I will lead you in slaying down evil enemies and splitting thorns. True to faith and heart, and I ...... with my followers" He swept around majestically, and everyone's head hung down, and he heard the slow utterance: "You will have eternal life!"

Everyone's hearts trembled, this was not the ceremonial declaration before the establishment of the Illuminati diocese, but the meaning in it made them involuntarily cheer up and kneel down one after another. Draw your sword. He said in unison: "Glorious witness, we are here to make an oath." Surrender your life and loyalty to Your Excellency. ”

Cedar stepped forward and slowly spread the flag in her hand on the long table, and the moment it unfolded, there was a strange silence in the tent, as if a divine force had descended.

Luo Lan stroked the wide earth flag and said with emotion: "This is our parish flag!"

The sky darkened suddenly, and then the light of a bolt of lightning shone on the flag, and suddenly showed a striking emblem.

Two swords, one black and one white, were crossed on a kite-shaped shield, and the three were firmly bound by a series of entwined chains, leaving only a gap in the middle of the shield, and if you looked closely, you could see that it seemed to depict a pupil that shimmered with silver light!

Everyone's eyes fell deeply, but they felt that the flash of light forced their eyes to blink involuntarily, and at the same time a grand voice seemed to come from the void and rise from their hearts: This is the faith that you must be loyal to and maintain!

At the same time, the clergy of the Holy See, who had originally come from the Holy See, suddenly realized that no diocese had ever used weapons and shields as emblems, and that Bethlehem had already revealed its fierce minions and erupted into a roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth before it was established, and the ambition in the hearts of the bishops had been revealed, but was this not exactly what they had dreamed of?

Gradually, everyone's expressions were full of enthusiasm and excitement, and their breathing became heavy.

Luo Lan stood up, from this moment on, all of them were tied together, and they would work together to create a shining future, and they would no longer be allowed to shrink back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after the night has passed, the splendor will rise. Luo Lan concluded with this sentence, but his eyes told the Sdick and the others that the night was only temporarily dormant, waiting for the moment to replace the light.

While the people in the tent were almost gone, Lady Belinda was still sitting there, sighing, and said, "My lord, I would like to speak with you alone. ”

Luo Lan nodded and said lightly, "Come with me." ”

The sky was overcast, the wind of Bethlehem could not help but roll up the robes of the two people, Belinda looked at the tall back walking in front of her with a complicated expression, her heart was very disturbed, and before she knew it, they had come to a high slope, and standing here, they could just reach the majestic whole view of the city of Beiselen.

Luo Lan turned his back to Belinda and said, "Alans Sacrifice, please say anything." ”

Belinda took a few breaths, turned her head to the side, and whispered, "Lord Bishop, I must be honest with you, I, I'm actually a spy who was ordered to sneak up on you. ”

Luo Lan said casually: "Hmm? I know." ”

"What?" Belinda exclaimed. With a pale face, he took a step back, and his coquettish face was the first to show panic.

Luo Lan turned around and smiled, "You know what. Belinda, as the only descendant of the Alans family, I have always wanted to give you a chance to wait for you to say it yourself. ”

Belinda gradually calmed down, at least on the surface, she quickly regained her usual calmness, now that she had spoken, there was no room for turnback, she sighed, and said, "When did the adults start to doubt me?"

Luo Lan was silent for a moment. Said slowly: "From the first day we entered Beiselen, that time, when I was with you, I encountered the death of a quark giant elephant, and in hindsight, if someone deliberately arranged for me to have a conflict with the barbarians, then this timing was really well mastered, although I already had doubts at that time." But it was only suspicion, and what really caught my attention was the incident when you were kidnapped by the Knights. ”

Belinda was stunned for a moment, her beautiful eyes showed a little dazedness, and said, "Did I go wrong?"

Luo Lan smiled faintly and said, "You're right, in fact, your acting skills are excellent from beginning to end." I can see the flaw, but it's actually the person who arranged the whole thing that made a mistake. He pouted, "I thought it was very strange that those knight commanders didn't pull you out to threaten me in the first place, but now that I think about it, it should be the truth that they have been partially blinded." I suspect that it should have been like this, that Netomund had kidnapped you and drawn me to the Order, and then invited the heads of the Knights to come together under the pretext of something important, and by the way revealed the news of my arrival in Bethlehem and the establishment of the diocese, which naturally threatened the leaders. That's when I broke in. So there was a collision between us, and it was an outcome that Netomund would love to see whoever failed. Everything fell into place, but in order to do so, you have to know the details of me, and not only do you know, but you are the key to the whole thing. ”

Belinda looked at Luo Lan in a daze, with a look of great admiration in her eyes, and sighed after a while: "You are right, in order to learn your true strength, I also used some small means in the free city-state. ”

Luo Lan thought for a while, frowned, and said, "Black Blood Mercenary Group?"

Belinda smiled wryly and nodded.

"Actually, if it's just this matter, I won't make up my mind about it," Luo Lan said in a deep voice: " What really convinced me of my judgment was another thing, when I was still in the Knights' station, the Knights of Netomund actually appeared near the camp and then retreated for some reason, this move seemed to be because they were not sure about breaking our camp and had no choice but to retreat, but Netomund ignored one point, that is, if he had sincerely cooperated with me, he would have given me a satisfactory explanation afterwards, but he didn't, which means that this action was for other purposes. ”

"If Endomund is such a scheming guy, if he doesn't know my details, then how can he do such an uncertain thing as attacking the camp?But he did, so his action is precisely to tell me that he doesn't know what strength I have, why should he do this?" Luo Lan smiled and said, "That is to prevent me from suspecting that there are spies in my team, many doubts have come together, and I finally got the answer." ”

Facing Luo Lan, Belinda suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, she slowly closed her eyes, and a string of crystals hung from the corners of her eyes, waiting for the upcoming trial.

Luo Lan looked at her gorgeous face for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Belinda, I have never understood, why did you go to Netomund?"

"Netomund?" Belinda opened her eyes, shook her head, and said, "How could I give in to him?"

Luo Lan frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Then who is the person you obey?"

"I don't know," Belinda showed a confused look, "He is good at mental control, I understand that everything I do is wrong, but whenever I resist, his voice will ring in my ears, so I can't help but do it." ”

Mind control? Luo Lan was shocked, this kind of mind control spell that allows the recipient to know himself has never even heard of it, he thought about it, and said, "Since when did you feel that the control was weakened?" Since Belinda confessed everything to herself, there are two possibilities, one is that the other party gives up the control of the other party, and the other is that the control temporarily fails for some reason.

Belinda thought seriously for a moment and frowned, "I don't know, since I came back from the Knights of the Double Blade last time, I feel like his control over me has weakened a lot......"

Last time, mind control? Well, could it be......

Luo Lan's eyes suddenly flashed with a scorching silver light, and his voice was like hypnosis, "Look at my eyes." ”
