Chapter 292: On the eve of the second round
Let's turn the clock back half a day ago.
This is a luxurious annex on the edge of Lancaster City, with a total of five floors, and when viewed from the height, it has a zigzag shape, with an opening facing south, an atrium in the middle, and a lush back garden in the back.
On weekdays, this luxurious annex is always vacant, and if you ask the surrounding residents, you will know that the owner of this annex is none other than Cowlinf, the owner of Lancaster.
In fact, this annex is the guest room used by Kaulinf to entertain his guests, but after the fall of Tiera, the great nobles of the Valla Empire deliberately kept a distance from Kaulinf, a 'former courtier', and basically did not come to Lancaster to visit, and letting low-ranking nobles live in it at will also make Kaulinf, the lord of the city, appear cheap.
Therefore, he would rather have the annex vacant all year round, even if it could be used at any time to maintain the luxurious annex, and he would have to spend a lot of money every year.
At this time, with a certain degree of cooperation between Lancaster City and Tunaia City, and the hosting of the Twin Cities Cup, the annex finally welcomed its first guests in years.
"So you're going to accept the Knights of the Wyvern of the Temple of Splendour?"
Jem and Tom made a special trip to the annex to find Angela, who was currently the highest talker among the players, and relayed the words of Isaac, the leader of the Dragon Knights.
"Why not."
While Angela didn't know what the current situation of the Temple of Splendor was, whether it was walking on thin ice or growing rapidly, it didn't prevent him from guessing some of the Leader's thoughts.
Obviously, the current Northland is not stable, and the new emperor has been thinking about finding a soft persimmon to establish his power after fighting a battle with the Grand Duchy of Romero, and the Northland is likely to be the soft persimmon he chose.
Even if the Temple of Splendor is one of the largest churches on the mainland, it can compete with the recognized first Chongbai Church, but the 'state religion' recognized by the royal family in the Valla Empire is still the Chongbai Church.
As the competition for limited resources between the two sects intensifies, it is clear that friction, conflict and contradiction are intensifying.
If the Kingdom Army really started to attack the Northland, it is difficult to say whether the Chongbai Church would take advantage of this opportunity to deliberately attack the living force of the Brilliant Temple, so as to expand in the Northland after the war - in the war-torn land, relying on healing magic and various specifications of holy water to quickly plunder wealth and spread faith, this is the Chongbai Church's specialty.
It is precisely because of this that although the Chongbai Church has a good reputation among the people, relying on a team of priests who treat diseases and wounds, it has created a character that seems to be peace-loving, benevolent and friendly, but in fact, it has always had its share in the black hands of the black hands that stir up trouble in various countries and promote the opposition to carry out civil wars and revolutions.
Many people believe that in addition to the 'Pure White Courtyard, Erasure Mechanism' and the 'Underground Sanctuary Ground 13th Floor, Inquisition', there is also a third secret agency dedicated to doing this kind of dirty work with invisible light.
It is also because of this that many people who know the inside story do not want to be in the same league as them, and instead support other church forces, and do not let the Chongbai Church become a monster that monopolizes the beliefs of the entire continent and can choose people to devour at will, so that the situation is maintained in a delicate balance.
But as the gods began to wrestle with each other and fell silent in a rare silence for fear that a fourth divine war would endanger the world, the situation on the continent began to change, and this fragile balance seemed to be upset at any moment.
With that in mind, moving closer to the Temple of Splendor is a good option, at least until the Church of the God of Games grows stronger, and has a banner of its own that can be used to bluff people.
Although the Temple of Justice also seems to have an alliance with the Church of the God of Games, the believers of the God of Justice are all elusive, and apart from a few wandering temples, there is no fixed sacrificial ground, so there is no way to bluff people......
"You go and reply to the other party, if the leader of the Wyvern Knights wants something definite, just let him come to me directly." Angela said to the two players in front of him, "After that, I will use my authority to apply for a task reward for you, hard work." ”
"Then thank you, Lord."
Jem was neither humble nor arrogant, thanked the other party politely, and left with Tang Rui and the dog, who didn't say a word and seemed to be in a daze.
Walking to the staircase, Jem poked Tang Rui with his elbow: "What were you thinking when I was talking to Lord Lord just now?" It's too rude to say nothing like a fool! ”
"No, I just saw a red-named person on the way here......" Tang Rui scratched his head and replied.
"Red name? Probably church believers who are hostile to our Church of the God of Games. Although it is relatively rare, it is said that a large number of outsiders have poured into Lancaster in the past two days, and it is normal for such a guy to exist. Jem glanced at him: "Besides, a red-named person, do you need to be there for half an hour?" ”
"Isn't it a habit to shoot or be killed by a red name in one go when you see it?" Tang Rui scratched his head and showed a silly smile: "Seeing that the red name can't be played, I always feel a little difficult to let go." ”
"Well, save your strength for the next game."
Jem sighed, looking at his stupid friend with some weakness.
"It's good, it's good......"
At this moment, a voice like a wraith sounded behind them, startling Jem.
He turned his head to look and saw that it was Princess Leia.
At this time, this usually glamorous girl was nestled in a sofa, looking as dry and depressed as a rose about to wither.
Like Angela, Liya also lives in this annex, but the two of them live on the two legs of the Rim with their subordinates, Angela lives in the East Wing, and Ria lives in the West Wing.
"Her Highness Leah...... What's wrong with you? Jem asked cautiously.
"Your Highness has been banned." It was Princess Leia's entourage who answered him, and the other party showed a helpless expression: "It's still an oracle specially issued by Lord God." ”
After all, Leah is the princess of Tiera, and although not many people know her appearance, there may be a nobleman who has come from afar who happens to have seen her.
If those churches and countries were able to tolerate the emergence and rise of the Church of the God of Games at the beginning, but when the descendants of the royal family of Tiera appeared in it, I am afraid that they would not hesitate to destroy the Church of the God of Games with the power of thunder, completely killing the only seedling of Leah.
Whether it is to protect Ria or the church, it is obvious that Leah cannot appear in public until the Church of the God of Games is strong enough to fight on multiple fronts.
In this regard, Jem and Tang Rui could only look at each other, not knowing what to say.
It seems that as a dignified princess, everything is not satisfactory.
At this time, their bracelets vibrated slightly, and new words gradually appeared on the markers embedded in the bracelets.
With these words, the items of the second round of the competition finally surfaced.
