After listening to Shaloman's description, Luo Lan felt the trickiness of this matter for the first time.

He was considering whether to report it to the Pope, which was too wide-ranging, and although he was still skeptical about it, hoping to get more clues from other sources so that they could corroborate each other, in his heart, he felt that most of what Sharoman said should be the truth.

Although he thought that if he could use it properly, this would be a good opportunity to drag the Central Continent down, but he didn't want this bottomless whirlpool to pull him in, and he had to find a suitable and proper way to get out.

After thinking about it for half a night, when it was dawn, Luo Lan finally thought about it, and came to Shaloman's room, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Shaloman, I will spare your life and take you back to the diocese this time, I believe that with your ability, maybe you can find a better home." ”

Shaloman also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "Since Bishop Landiston let me go once, I will also remember this kindness." ”

Luo Lan showed a slight smile on his face, Sha Luoman didn't know what was going on, and he felt a little weak in his heart inexplicably.

"My lord, news from the guild," a thief silently appeared beside Luo Lan, holding a sheepskin scroll in his hand.

Luo Lan waved his hand and said, "Mr. Shaloman will be his own person in the future, said." ”

Although Sha Luoman knew that this was just a gesture made by Luo Lan to make himself feel at ease, he still felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.

The thief bowed and said, "A few days ago, the Dark Grand Duke Zner sent a team, consisting of about two mages, two thieves, and three Dark Knights, led by the first chief of the Duke's guard, the High Priest of the Council of the Dead, Achill, all the way to us, with the aim of reclaiming the Duke's daughter, Elma. ”

Luo Lan raised his eyebrows. "Seven people?"

Sharoman glanced at Luo Lan. Then he said very carefully: "This may be the most combat-effective guard squad under the command of Duke Zner." Achill is a tough fighter. This man is brave and famous in the kingdom of light. When the Bishop enters the Dukedom of Zner. He seems to have carried out an important mission. Therefore, the daughter of the Grand Duke was married and there was no him in the wedding car. ”

Luo Lan directly took the parchment scroll with detailed information written on it and looked at it. Then he pondered for a moment. "They are not here to block us. It's to hold us back. There must be more people in the back. ”

Sharoman hurriedly said: "Achill knows your identity and strength. He will not dare to fight you head-on. For now. In this area. There are no heavyweights to compete with you anymore. So if you will. I also have the confidence to be a qualified guide. Take you on a spin in the Dark Realm. ”

There was a hint of banter on the corner of Luo Lan's mouth. He glanced at Sharoman out of the corner of his eye. "Mr. Sharoman." Thank you for your kindness. But I can be sure. When I learned the information about the annihilation of your team. The Council of the Dead will surely focus its efforts on searching your whereabouts as well. In my eyes. You can weigh more than Elma. ”

Shaloman smiled bitterly, "It's the ground." I know so much. They won't be willing to find my corpse if they can't find it. ”

Luo Lan sighed. "The next road back to the Holy See will be the beginning of a frenzied pursuit. But you've gone from being someone I need to kill to someone I have to protect. It's a wonderful thing. ”

Shaloman was silent for a while before he said slowly: "Bishop Landiston, don't worry, I know what to say when I see the Pope. He glanced around and said in a deep voice, "It's not that I'm suspicious. Will there be a deep eyeliner in your subordinates?"

Luo Lan smiled and didn't speak.

Shaloman also closed his mouth in amusement, sometimes the communication between two intelligent people only needs an expression, or a hint to understand the deep meaning.

"I don't bother you, just take your time. Luo Lan stood up and walked out of the room without looking back.

Shaloman stood up unconsciously, and only sat down after watching Luo Lan's figure disappear. Subsequently. He let out a long sigh.

Luo Lan, who returned to the hall, instructed a few things first, and then found Xiao Gu. "For an elite squad like this, if they harass us, it will greatly delay our progress, so we don't have to move forward as a team, but we have to disperse into several squads and finally assemble at Mount Gonopis, two of which are extremely important, one is the squad escorting Elma, the daughter of the Duke of Zner, and the other is the squad escorting Shaloman." ”

Luo Lan paused, and then said: "I have decided that the task of escorting Arma will be handed over to you, you are the leader of this team, I don't have any specific requirements for you, you just need to remember that no matter what method you use, you must also bring her to me alive to the Holy See, she is one of our bargaining chips, and she is very valuable." ”

Xiao Gu straightened up and said, "Yes, my lord." ”

Luo Lan looked at Xiao Gu's face and said, "You may meet a truly strong person this time, different from any person you have met before, are you confident?"

Xiao Gu thought for a while and said, "The mentor told me that if you dare to face a strong person, you must be another strong person, I think, I dare!"

"Okay!" Luo Lan nodded, and he said in a deep voice: "The team you lead must go first, and leave immediately, the Council of the Dead will definitely notice you first, so you are both a bait and a trapper, I can't give you too many people, everything depends on you." ”

Xiao Gu felt that this was another test of himself by adults, and after leaving the hall, he found that there were already three people standing outside the door leading horses and waiting for him.

He didn't say much, but walked directly to the ornate carriage where Elma was imprisoned and examined it carefully, and when he found that he had not done anything wrong, he turned his head and looked back behind him.

This time, one of the three men he led was an old one-eyed paladin, and Xiao Gu had a vague impression of him, because this man was silent all day long, and seemed to be an outlier like himself, while the other was a cowering young priestess, with a shy blush on her face, and the last one, an ugly-looking Templar swordsman, who seemed to be quite unpopular. So the "fame" seems to be very big. It seems that Luo Lan sent several unsociable people in the team this time.

"My lord, shall we go?" asked the priestess timidly, she had always seen the magician follow Bishop Lantiston, and she had always watched with envy when others gathered around Bishop Lantiston, but she had never expected to be so close to Bishop as she was. This made her heart excited, and she secretly glanced at the young mage, the other party's handsome face has never had any rich expression, even at this moment.

Xiao Gu didn't answer immediately, but lowered his head, as if thinking about something, and then he suddenly raised his head and said, "We have two paths to go, one is to go straight to the Holy See, and the other is to turn around and fight. Choose to kill them. ”

The old paladin's face did not fluctuate at all, but he rarely spoke: "If you go to the Holy See, then as long as you act fast enough." We may be able to evade the pursuit of the Council of the Dead, and we have a better chance of winning, but if we turn around and face it, we may be wiped out, but if we succeed in one fell swoop, we can clear all the troubles. ”

Xiao Gu thought carefully for a while again, and said seriously: "I have decided, choose the latter path, and take the initiative to face the battle!"

When he was thinking, he unconsciously imitated Luo Lan's appearance. There was a faint sense of awe that could not be described, but the ugly Templar couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Xiao Gu subconsciously touched his head and explained: "Since even we think that the chances of escaping are very high, then the people who are chasing us must also think the same, so if we take the initiative to attack, it should be something they can't think of." ”

The Ugly Templar froze, then jumped to his feet and exclaimed, "Good idea!"

There was a glint in the old templar's eyes, and he took a closer look at the bone. Then nodded slightly.

The female pastor didn't say a word, but there was a hint of curiosity and admiration in her beautiful eyes.

At Roland's request, they left the Duke of Saberlin's domain in full view, but instead of going far, they stopped at the edge of a wood.

Looking at the blazing bonfire in front of her, the female priest suddenly asked Xiao Gufa, "Mr. Mage, are you afraid of death?"

Xiao Gu was stunned, dead?" he shook his head. He glanced at the priestess strangely and bewildermently. "Are you afraid?"

The priestess first looked at the bones with admiration, then shook her head. After a while, she leaned over and whispered, "I'm afraid of pain." ”

Xiao Gu said very seriously: "This, I'm not afraid. ”

The ugly templar suddenly burst out laughing and said, "A man who is not afraid of death or pain, haha, Master Mage, you are really good at laughing, if there is such a person, who else can defeat him?"

Xiao Gu looked at him strangely and said, "Why?"

The Ugly Templar was stunned, then frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "Because, because we are all afraid, everyone is afraid......"

His voice gradually lowered, and all that remained was the crackling of the campfire, and after a while, the ugly templar suddenly jumped up and burst into a foul mouth, then drew his sword and danced a sword flower, and shouted, "The four of us will surely be remembered in the parchment scroll in the future!"

The young priestess bent her knees, clasped her hands around her shoulders, and smiled as if she had thought of something happy in the past.

The Old Church did not say a word, and the tattoos on his face looked heavy and vicissitudes in the light of the beating flames.

Xiao Gu glanced at each of them, as if he understood and comprehended something, but in the end, this feeling was like a wisp of smoke that he couldn't grasp, but he just added a little inexplicable melancholy to his heart.

This night, the four of them rested silently, while Xiao Gu sat still without moving, until the sky showed the white of the fish's belly, he stood up in the eyes of the three people, and then stepped on the bonfire, looked up at the morning light in the distance, and said with high morale: "Go!"
