Chapter 5 Distance
Duo was dressed in retro-style armor, the delicate copper buckles shimmered and dazzling, and after the bright red, he walked calmly into the hall, and the majesty of being a superior person became more and more obvious on him, and there was a shocking momentum in his gestures. [No pop-ups.]
As the most powerful man in the Sedaon region today, he enjoyed the feeling, and every day before going to bed, he would peruse the feeling of mastering everything, as if that was the only way to make him feel more secure. He felt as if he was standing on the top of the Temple of Light and looking down on the worship of the many worshippers, and all he needed was a small gesture, or a slight hint, and naturally there were countless armies to enforce the penal code of sword and fire for him.
He now really understands why the old guys in the family still cling to the power in their hands, and this kind of pleasure of dominating everything can indeed be unstoppable.
Some people may climb the seat of this right for other purposes, but once they actually sit in this position, they will find that the process of maintaining and using the right is the most addictive.
For this reason, he can even give up everything else, which is not to say that he doesn't care about everything else, but he knows that as long as he grasps power, money, women, honor, even if he gives up on a hesitant night, he can pick it up in a good morning.
While these things slowly faded from his sight, he felt more deeply that he had grasped the root of life.
Just like Devine's face, which originally made his heart move, has now faded greatly in his eyes. Maintaining their unmarried relationship was, in his opinion, a political deal worth making so far, and he wanted to keep the relationship alive, but he didn't want to go too far.
He hadn't heard of Daphne's plan to capture the necromancer, nor was he unaware of the dangers of it, but the funny thing was that the first thing that came to his mind was whether it would be beneficial to consolidate his power, and he was even thinking about what happened to his beautiful fiancΓ©e. What can be done about the impact of that?
After thinking about it, he finally felt that Daphne couldn't have an accident for the time being, at least not until he made a gesture.
As Ondor's land grew gloomy, there was always a coldness and coercion in his eyes. His figure looked more and more like a stranger in Daphne's eyes, and a trace of gloom could not help but pass through her clear eyes.
"Looks like I'm a step late. Ondor's ceremonial smile and voice would not allow the most discerning court hostess to find faults. He waved his hand, and one of the attendants behind him pulled out an arm wrapped in a flag.
It was dry, ugly, and pale.
None of this matters. Most importantly. It was the hand of that necromancer.
Luo Lan recognized at a glance that it was under the random guidance of this hand that the terrifying living corpse stood up and became a terrifying weapon.
Ondor glanced lightly at the hand. His gaze was disdainful, tasteless, mocking. The corners of his mouth curled. "Daphne." This slippery guy runs so fast that I only have time to leave this one.
Luo Lan couldn't help but glance at Onduo a few more times. Seventh-level paladin, the land is indeed not in vain. Although that necromancer consumed a lot of mana, it was just a moment of contact just now, and he was so easily torn off a hand by Ondor, you can imagine how powerful he is.
Devina shook her head, in her opinion, the value of an arm was dispensable, she was worried about the purpose of the necromancer infiltrating the clergy of Sedaon, and understanding this plot was the best thing a priest should do.
Her expression fell into Ondor's eyes, and the latter smiled noncommittally, and turned her gaze to Luo Lan and Xi Jiesi standing next to her, and it could be seen from the position of the two of them that although Xi Jiesi was a paladin of no low rank, she was Luo Lan's servant.
"When did you two come to Sedaon?" said Ondor's voice, though gentle, but there was always a plausible questioning in it.
Luo Lan's expression was relaxed and natural, with a smile in his calmness, and said, "Not long ago, we only arrived yesterday, and speaking of which, I have also met Your Excellency. He stretched out his hand, slowly removed his hood, revealed his original face, and said, "My name is Lanton." β
He's testing Ondor's reaction, and if he wants to get closer to Devany and avenge Rommels as originally planned, he'll always be in the sight of the other party.
Devany couldn't help but be surprised, she never thought that Luo Lan was the pastor she had talked to that day, she had thought that the latter had disappeared in the mission to capture the Cross Flag.
Ondor's pupils shrank slightly, and his cold gaze fell, and the air was filled with condensation
The smell of killing, after a while, he withdrew his gaze, all the clouds were gone, he showed a good-natured smile, shook his head and said, "Sorry, I don't remember very well." "Now that Sedaon has re-established a new order, he does not need to exacerbate the contradictions, but to eliminate them.
He had paid attention to every well-established clergyman in Sedaon, but his impression of Luo Lan was only so faint, however, this is also a foreign priest with a paladin servant, so his background and family power can also be imagined, if such a person is mastered, it will be extremely beneficial to himself.
In Ondor's view, Luo Lan's arrival in Sedaon also saw the power vacuum of the clergy in this region, and there is no doubt that gaining a firm foothold in a new diocese can be better developed than in a diocese where the mode of influence has been fully distributed. He also had to admit that if he wanted to establish a parish, people like this were essential.
Luo Lan didn't know that just because of Xijiesi's foil, he became an object that could be encircled in Ondor's eyes.
"Sehi," Ang Duo shouted, and a middle-aged waiter with a neat appearance and a neat hair combed walked up, and he bowed his head respectfully and said, "My lord, may I ask you what you have to say." β
Ondo nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I remember that there were a lot of fiefdoms of the clergy that were originally vacant in the Theo Lord's Country?"
"Yes," said the squire, his head bowed deeper, his body completed a bow, "from the Mowen River to the Chain Mountain, there are fourteen such fiefdoms. β
Ondo was very tolerant, and in a kind tone peculiar to those in his superiors, he said slowly: "Pastor Landon, if you are willing to stay and contribute to the development of Sedaon, you can choose a piece of these lands as your food estate. β
Luo Lan was stunned, he didn't expect that Onduo would adopt this method to alleviate the original contradiction between the two. However, there was an elusive glint in his eyes, and it was just right that he could stay here with this identity and facilitate the implementation of his plan.
He will not forget the hatred of Rommels. Of course, he is facing a huge force, and in order to push it, he must first have a solid group of forces.
This fiefdom was exactly what he needed.
"I think I am happy to accept your gift. Luo Lan bowed slightly, a grateful smile appeared on his face, his expression was very real, making people feel that it was from the bottom of his heart at a glance, without a little falsehood.
"Very well, the new diocese of Sedaon will soon be formed, and there will be many vacancies for priests and priests. Onduo nodded, he was very satisfied with Luo Lan's unhesitating attitude, that kind of timid person was not what he needed, and he couldn't achieve great things if he looked forward and backward.
"I think we should find out what the necromancers are trying to do first, rather than forming a diocese. Devonne's calm expression was over, he suddenly felt a burst of annoyance, frowned, and said: "Where there is a war on the mainland, those dirty guys who worship dead corpses will appear, we don't need to care too much about these reptiles, and when they have collected enough dead corpses, they will naturally leave here." β
Daphne looked at Ondor, as if she had seen the power that was expanding and spreading in the latter's heart**, under the urging of this **, he seemed to have a goal that he was constantly chasing, before achieving it, he could allow certain forces to make a leap beyond the bottom line, and he could also tolerate those believers of the god of death to survive under his nose.
For those men seemed to be insignificant in Ondor's position today, and he was no longer a paladin, and he did not want to be any more.
There was a slight disappointment in Daphne's eyes, what would he hope would be next?Bishop?Lord?Or Pope?
She shook her head, as if trying to clear these distractions from her mind, and said solemnly, "But Ondor, after all, I am still a member of the Monks' Society, and I will not easily spread the power of the Grim Reaper anywhere I can see. β
Onduo looked at her slowly, and said with an unpredictable smile, "I never interfere with your wishes. β
Daphne met his gaze, looking at the coldness and strangeness inside, she returned the service with a shallow smile and said lightly, "Me too." She knew exactly what Ondorf meant, he wouldn't interfere with anything, but she didn't want her to affect him either.
At this moment, the distance between the two people is getting farther and farther away.
However, the cold smile in Luo Lan's heart became deeper and deeper.
