Chapter XVIII: The Infidels
This is the capital of the Duchy of Eloy, Rongguo City. A big city with a lot of Western architecture. The Duchy of Aloy is known as the land of knights, so you can see knights from all over the world. The special griffin knights of the Principality of Aloy have achieved good results in the previous NPC power struggles, which makes countries daunted. And those with the martial arts profession among the players can also take the quest here, because the mercenary guild and the high-level fighter academy are all over the Principality of Aloy. In addition, although there are a small number of Holy Churches here, because they advocate force and do not believe in religion, all the Holy Churches are not strong here.
I came here because I had to complete a religious mission. The difficulty level of the mission is B.
And the information of this mission is: It is said that someone reported seeing black-robed heretics somewhere in the southern town of the principality, spreading the belief in the dark demon god. It is also said that the caravan passing by the southern mountains was attacked and no one survived, and that huge footprints, human blood and corpses were found somewhere afterwards.
The Holy Sect ignored it, after all, the southern mountains of the Principality of Aloy contained a large number of orcs and demonic beasts, and it was not uncommon for orcs to attack people.
But there was one detail that made the church decide to look at it because they found that the attacks were all about food and weapons, apparently planned attacks, and that they were hoarding weapons and food. It could only be the work of a bandit syndicate, but it couldn't be. No robber would be stupid enough to gather in that mountain. It's one of the most dangerous places on the continent.
And Bishop Pallas, who is the cardinal archbishop, took the initiative to go here, this old man is equivalent to a mentor who reminisces the past, and by the way, he wants to bring the past here to experience, the latter sees that the task is not very difficult, and can follow the cardinal to teach things, so he gladly accepted the task.
What she didn't expect was that there was another player following in this quest, a left-handed Templar named God. It stands to reason that to become a Light Mage and a Templar of the Holy Cult requires people with pure hearts and light, but this guy is definitely not a good person in her opinion, absolutely!
"I said Xixi, if you are afraid to ride a griffin alone, you can actually ride with me in flight, so that I can take you to enjoy the feeling of soaring in the sky." God's left hand smiled with a hippie smile, and the eyes stared at the slender waist of the past.
Reminiscing about the past, I felt goosebumps all over my body, and hurried away from this pervert.
Could it be that the so-called supreme god of the second world is also blind? Let this kind of guy enter the Holy Sect, she lamented in her heart.
Pallas and the Knight Leader Seon had been talking, Sein's face was full of respect and humility, although the power of the Holy Cult had not penetrated here, no one dared not respect or welcome them.
According to Thein, the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Aloy wanted to ask the cardinal to stay here for a few more days before investigating the pagan situation in the south of the principality, but Pallas politely refused on the grounds of urgency.
At Sein's insistence, Pallas had no choice but to agree to stay here for three days, and had made the Grand Duke of Aloy as a landlord.
Although this high-level Pallas high-level NPC seems to be very hesitant, looking back on the past, I feel very happy, this mission seems to be not only easy, but also to play different places.
Then they followed Sain to the Duke's Palace, passing through the Duke's private park, where all kinds of beautiful flowers bloomed to the fullest, and the strange grass scattered its unique fragrance, which made people intoxicated. There are also all kinds of rare animals on the mainland, scurrying among the strange flowers and plants.
Reminiscing about the past, I always felt that this garden gave her a sense of comfort, and I wanted to stay in the humid environment all the time, and suddenly came, under the warm sun. She could feel something unusual, but she didn't know what the way it was.
"It seems that the Duke is a man of great taste." God's left hand suddenly spoke, "Though it's not even a tenth of mine." ”
I wanted to give him a vomit look in the past, but I had never seen such a narcissistic person.
When Pallas heard this, he kindly asked, "Tell me, where is the taste?" ”
God's left hand smiled with confidence, which made the memories of the past, who had always despised him, look at him curiously, and wonder if this guy still has some ability?
"For example, these animals are very tasteful, and they must be very tasty when they set up a grill and sprinkle some seasoning." God's left hand touched his mouth.
Ben pricked up his ears to hear the memories of God's left-hand reminiscences and wanted to kick him away and tell anyone he didn't know him.
Sein, who was walking in front, couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Otherworldly people ((1)), these are the duke's favorite animals, don't mess with your thoughts." ”
"Of course, I won't eat other people's rations."
Hey, hey, big brother, can't you see that these are ornamental animals?
After walking a while, the garden began to dissipate, it was a rockery, and the road began to become uneven, and I remembered that it was difficult for Pallas to walk on crutches, so I went over to help him walk. When I looked back on the past, I thought he was just an old man, and I reached out to help him, so I unexpectedly got the opportunity to join the Holy Sect. Unlike others, including He Bing, who thought that these NPCs were just programs programmed in data, recalling that from the beginning of entering this world, everyone here was a life.
Pallas nodded at her, complimentingly.
"Captain Theon." The cardinal shouted suddenly, and now only a few steps away from the crowd entering the large house.
"Huh?" Sein looked back, with a questioning look.
"Are there still followers of the goddess of nature in the Duchy of Eloy?"
Sein was stunned, apparently not expecting the Bishop to ask him this question.
"Lord Bishop, as we all know, the Goddess of Nature Cult was wiped out by the Holy Cult decades ago." Sain said seriously.
"Then why are there other seasonal flowers and herbs in this park? This is obviously something that only natural magic can do. ”
Reminiscing about the past, I heard Pallas suddenly begin to use a questioning tone, and the cloudy eyes suddenly appeared with a sophisticated essence.
The atmosphere froze instantly, she felt bad, and subconsciously looked at others, but the daze of God's left hand, and the swallowed saliva, indicated that he might be thinking about what to do with the park animals, and this waste didn't realize what was happening.
"This ...... I don't know, I'm afraid you'll have to ask the Duke. Sain's calm demeanor suddenly panicked.
Looking back, she hadn't figured out the situation yet, what kind of nature goddess religion, she had never heard of this church.
Note: (1) High-level NPCs can know the existence of players and call them otherworldly.
