Chapter 104: Rewards
Qin Ran was invited to the open space side of the tent.
The upper evil spirit and the young cathar knight walked into the tent, not because they didn't want to arrange a better place for Qin Ran, but because there was only this tent in the entire camp that could be used as a place for negotiations.
The rest of the tents?
The dense beds had already made it difficult to settle inside the tent.
In fact, even this tent belonged to the new lord of the Sika Lord, not to the Misty Church, which was in some ways even poorer than expected.
"Good afternoon, Your Highness Colin."
Once a baroness and now the new lord Erin. Sika greeted Qin Ran very kindly.
"Good afternoon, Lord Sika."
Qin Ran responded politely.
Then there was silence.
On the premise that there is no task, Qin Ran is not a person who will take the initiative to speak, let alone take the initiative to set off the atmosphere.
And the new Sika Lord?
Can you expect a woman who stays at home every day to read a book to be sociable?
So, both sides were silent.
However, such silence is not embarrassing.
Because, Qin Ran was concentrating on inspecting his loot.
This relieved the new lord of Sika's territory.
Then, the new lord's gaze involuntarily looked at the long sword in Qin Ran's hand.
"Made of steel, with a wide blade, a punch longer than a normal longsword, and those magic marks...... The best of the Temple of War? ”
The new lord was not very sociable, but his vast knowledge gave her extraordinary insights.
In fact, the information of the long sword displayed in Qin Ran's eyes was basically the same as what this new lord knew.
[Name: Sword of Radiance (Replica)]
[Type: Weapon]
[Quality: Rare above]
[Attack: Strong]
[Attributes: 1, sharp; 2, sword attack; 3. Praise]
[Special Effect: None]
[Need: God of War with a certain foundation]
[Can I bring out this copy: No]
[Notes: It was only a replica and was originally intended to be used for large-scale manufacturing, however, it failed, but it also proved to be a good item.] 】
……
[Sharp: Special steel and arcane inscriptions, making it sharper and sharper, attack level +1]
[Sword Attack: For a single target within 15 meters, slash out a sword qi that is judged to be a stronger level by attack, 3 times/day]
[Praise: When you have faith in the God of War, you can use sword qi to envelop a range within five meters in diameter, and each sword qi will have a powerful level of attack, 1 time/3 days]
……
"Chicken ribs."
Qin Ran commented like this.
Without the restriction of God of War faith, this long sword can be said to be quite good.
But once you have it?
That's really worthless.
Not to mention, it is not yet possible to bring out the dungeon world.
A prop like this, for Qin Ran, it is the best choice to satisfy his appetite for 'gluttony'.
However, it is certainly not possible now.
"Wait, wait."
"It's not time yet."
Qin Ran soothed the drooling 'gluttony' like this, and his eyes looked at the new lord of the Sika Lord.
The other party immediately blushed in embarrassment.
"I'm just curious about this sword, I've seen it in books."
"Its provenance is legendary, and it is rumored to be a testimony of the friendship between Aitandine I and the crown of the god of war."
Erin. Sika explained.
Friendship testimonies?
Qin Ran, who had gradually learned about this world, disdained it.
According to Gelsack's memory, it is impossible for Etandin I and the god of war to have any friendship at all, or to be precise, in the early stage, there was a half-enemy and half-friend competition between the two sides, but in the middle and late stages, they were completely enemies.
As a collaborator of Etandine I, the 'Silent Night Secret Order', he was also hostile to the Temple of War.
Unfortunately, with the unexpected death of Etandine I, the 'Silent Night Secret Order' had to be hidden.
It wasn't until the birth of the lady in the 'Black Plague' that it became open.
Of course, Qin Ran would not explain to the other party.
He just nodded noncommittally.
Qin Ran thought that his attitude was enough to make this new lord, who was not good at communication, retreat.
What I didn't expect was that Irene. After he nodded, Sika took the initiative to speak.
"You have a good relationship with Simon, can I ask you, does Simon have a partner for life?"
The new lord stammered for verification.
Qin Ran was taken aback.
He was genuinely frightened by the new lord's audacity.
It's nothing to say that he is usually a person with a sharp style, but for an otaku, it really surprises him.
However, it also deserves to be commended.
In particular, the performance of the high-ranking evil spirits in the recent period is also commendable.
So—
"No, he's always alone."
Qin Ran said with certainty.
He, not deceiving.
Simon, really single.
"It's wonderful."
The new lord rejoiced.
Qin Ran's gaze didn't stop here, he looked at the entrance of the camp.
The priest Termino was standing respectfully in front of an old man at this time.
The other party was wearing ordinary linen clothes, just like the civilians around him, and even, even worse, he didn't even have a cotton jacket, and the shoes on his feet were very ordinary.
The face is also similar to that of a person walking down the street.
But when a priest bows to such a person, everything becomes different.
What's more, the other person's eyes.
Anyone who looked at him couldn't help but shudder.
That is the gaze of the superior and the strong.
A gaze that dominates life and death.
None of the Etandine royal guards at the door dared to look at each other, and the members of the 'Mist' church held back their fear, silently chanting the honorific name of 'Mist' and staring at them.
Soon, one by one they became tearful and retreated.
Even Rogett is no exception.
However, this bear-like young man gritted his teeth stubbornly and did not retreat.
A look of appreciation appeared in the old man's eyes.
Subsequently, his gaze became cloudy, as in the average old man.
"I'm Privy Counsellor Motor of the Temple of the God of War, and I would like to see Bishop Simon."
The other person introduced himself and said the request.
"Your Excellency is meeting a guest."
The young man replied firmly.
There was not even a word of inviting the other party into the camp.
The Temple of War is not much of an ally to the Church of the Mists.
In some ways, it is the enemy.
There is no need to be polite to the enemy.
If he didn't know that he was invincible, the young man would definitely draw his tomahawk and fight to the end.
However, this did not prevent the young man from being vigilant, and he stared at Motor with a tomahawk in his hand.
Motor didn't care about Rogett's attitude.
A pretty good young man.
He has seen a lot of such young people, and there are even many such seedlings in the God of War Temple.
Don't care at all.
Not only because it takes too much time for them to grow, but also because, even if they do, they will not be his opponents.
There is no difference between blowing a breath and being crushed by a hand in the eyes of the privy council.
On the contrary......
Motor looked at Qin Ran, who was sitting there in the distance, and a fine light flashed in his cloudy eyes.
Heir to the royal family of Aitandine.
Heir to the Serpent Sect.
Such an existence is inherently wrong and should not exist.
Unfortunately, Sean failed.
Moreover, great mistakes were made.
Sensing the hateful gaze of the two old-school nobles, Little and Valentine, the privy bishop couldn't help but sigh.
I thought it would be a talent.
I didn't expect ......
It turned out to be just an opportunistic guy.
With this assessment in his heart, the privy bishop looked at the tent.
The thick curtains and the protection of the secret arrangement made it impossible for him to see through the situation and hear what was going on inside.
This made the privy bishop more and more curious.
The news of Aitandine's palace was even more important than he had imagined.
Etolin's death naturally has another hidden meaning.
Even, Gino is special.
As for what Sean said about Gino?
Let's take a look at some of the things they did.
Such an assessment must be unfair.
Or, it's a leaf obstacle.
I'm afraid that the other party's heart has already been polluted by the power he is about to gain, and he doesn't treat a thing objectively at all.
Then, Motor's question returned to square one.
What did Gino find?
Minutes and seconds passed.
With the arrival of Motor, the entire 'Mist' church became depressed, especially Silvaca, the former deacon of the Temple of War, hid in the crowd and did not even dare to show his face.
Only Qin Ran's performance was as usual.
This made Monte, who was standing beside Qin Ran, breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
He didn't want his temple to bow his head when he faced the temple.
Of course, we can't be too tough until we are underdeveloped.
What is needed is a combination of rigidity and softness.
Sure enough, I have a long way to go!
Just when the minister sighed to himself, the people in the tent finally came out.
Simon's face was serious.
The young Gino seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
And Motor breathed a sigh of relief.
Because, when the young Gino saw him, he immediately stood up straight and saluted.
Motor smiled and raised his hand, and after signaling Gino's excuse, he looked at Simon.
"Please come in."
With his usual gentleness, the superior demon invited Motor.
Then, at the invitation, Motor went straight into the tent.
"Can I know what's going on?"
Motor asked dryly.
As Motor, he rarely chooses to cover up.
As the spokesperson of the crown, in his opinion, anything is nothing more than that, nothing more than the number of chips.
But contrary to the Privy Council's expectations, Simon in front of him did not have any intention of sitting on the ground, but simply nodded.
"Yes."
The superior evil spirit looked at the puzzled other party, and couldn't help but show a wry smile, and it said, "Actually, if you don't show up today, I will also go to you." ”
"What?"
The privy bishop raised an eyebrow.
He discovers that things may be more complicated than he thought.
"Because, we have a common enemy."
"An enemy who hides in the shadows, stirring and bewitching us."
"He is in charge of 'tricks', 'conspiracy' and 'destruction'!"
"He is cholera on earth."
"He is the culprit of the 'Black Plague' and everything that comes after!"
The superior evil spirit said word by word.
Motor's brow furrowed with every sentence he heard.
When the words of the superior demon fell, the privy councilor shook his head again and again.
"Impossible!"
"It's impossible!"
"If there is such an existence, how can His Majesty the God of War not find out?"
The Privy Counsellor asked rhetorically.
"Under the 'mist', have you found out?"
"If we hadn't come forward on our own initiative."
"What about the former 'Lady Calamity'?"
"If it weren't for the plague, would you have found out?"
The superior demon asked rhetorically.
This kind of question is really not a problem for it, it has been preparing for a long time, and it is not worried about people asking, but worried about no one asking.
As long as someone asks, it is sure that the other person will fall into its rhythm.
In fact, that's exactly what it is.
Motor's brow furrowed again, but he didn't retort.
The superior demon immediately continued to speak.
"We've made an agreement with the Silent Night Order."
"They've made an alliance with us."
"And, start looking for that guy's messenger."
"What?"
"You made a deal with the Silent Night Order?"
Motor, who got this secret news, was stunned.
The Privy Counsellor looked at the superior demon in disbelief.
The Silent Night Order and the Demon Hunters are mortal enemies, and the Mist Church, which has a close relationship with the Demon Hunters, should not give up its original allies at any time.
What's more, this ally is still outside.
Obviously, the relationship between the two sides is very good.
Unless......
There really is some great enemy.
As for coaxing?
The Privy Council did not think that the superior demon would deceive him with such a one-and-stabbed lie.
However, to be on the safe side, he said, "I would like to ask His Highness Colin in person. ”
"Of course."
The superior demon nodded.
Qin Ran, who had been preparing for a long time, walked in.
"Your Highness Colin, are you aware of the alliance between the 'Mist' Church and the 'Silent Night Secret Order'?"
Motor's top hat asked.
Etandin, the heir of the Serpent Sect, even if he is the messenger of the God of War, he does not dare to be careless.
"Yes."
"Moreover, the alliance was initiated by me."
Qin Ran replied.
"Lunch before?"
The privy bishop had clearly guessed something.
And when he saw that Qin Ran didn't answer, but just nodded, Motor's heart turned upside down.
You must know that the young man in front of him represents the Etandine royal family and the snake faction, and an alliance initiated by the other party means that the Etandine royal family and the snake faction are also involved.
In other words, except for the Temple of the God of War, almost all the forces in the Hokuriku are united.
No!
Not now!
But as early as when this young man was sent to the Serpent Sect by Etandin VI, the signs of a group appeared.
"Is that being so terrible?"
Motor asked.
Qin Ran didn't mean to answer.
The superior demon sighed softly.
"Your Majesty the God of War, is it powerful?"
Faced with such a rhetorical question, Motor was speechless.
……
The discussion in the tent went on for a long time.
When it was already dark, Motor walked out with a heavy face.
"Your Excellency."
Gino, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately walked over.
"Kid, you're doing well."
"Good thing you noticed something was wrong with Sean."
"Otherwise, we need to suffer unimaginable losses."
"What do you want?"
"You deserve a reward."
Motor looked at Gino with a kind gaze.
"I want to learn more about it, as well as swordsmanship, so that I can protect the cathedral."
Gino said.
The sincerity in the sentence is unmistakable.
Motor looked at such a sincere young man and couldn't help but nod.
"I'll give you what you deserve."
Motor said, glancing at the [Sword of Radiance (Replica)] on the young man's waist, and without waiting for Motor to speak, the young man confessed: "It was given to me by His Highness Colin, saying that it was my reward for courage." ”
As he spoke, the young man took off his sheathed sword and handed it to Motor.
"No, kid."
"It's your reward."
Motor waved his hand.
He wasn't going to be tempted by a replica.
He's seen all the originals.
A replica, what is counted?
With this in mind, the privy councilor no longer paid attention to the replica.
He did something more important: to ask His Majesty.
Qin Ran stood in the shadows, watching the departure of this privy bishop, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
His stuff is so easy to hold?
Even if it's something he doesn't need.
