Chapter 266: May the Holy Light Be with You?
"The griffon is coming!"
As an elf, and still a primordial extreme, Silwin's eyesight is much better than Kyle's. Even in the dim shadows of the World Tree, you can see the griffon knights flying in the sky.
"Well, as expected." Kyle nodded indifferently.
He cleared the clutter that stuck to his body when he fell, tidied up his robes, and held the terrifying 'Void Black Dragon's Spine', making himself look very like a ** teacher.
Griffon's Mountain is one of the largest human territories on the continent of Norinaire, with a population of up to one million.
As a coastal mountainous area, the city-state is home to a large number of griffons.
Hence the name Griffon Mountain.
Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, griffins are abundant here, and the humans living in the city-state of Griffin Mountain are also good at domesticating griffins, and griffin knights are a standing army.
And when Kyle and Silwin teleported over, the space gate emitted a bright light like the sun, and it was even more visible for hundreds of miles in the dark environment of the Norin Il continent, if there were no griffin knights to come and check, it would be strange.
"Let's go, let's get out of here." Kyle doesn't want to meet these griffon knights.
The purpose of his visit was to find out about the situation and get Ernest whereabouts, and he didn't want to get in touch with the local political forces and waste his time.
"It's up to you, boss."
Sylvain has nothing to do with this.
And Fenrir's opinion is even less to consider...... Kyle opened the shelter and shoved it inside.
The giant wolf is large and difficult to mess with at first glance, making it an excellent talisman to avoid trouble, and Kyle brought Fenrir out......... By the way, let it lose weight.
"Let's go!"
"Hmm."
The two of them glanced at each other, put on the invisibility cloak made of primordial silver, and walked silently, quietly away from here.
Griffin knights are all people who have excellent eyesight.
Coupled with the eagle eye technique solidified on his body, coupled with the telescope, he naturally saw the scene of the two of them leaving.
But the distance was too far for the griffin knights to stop, and they could only shout and shout in vain, startling countless owls.
……
"The entrance tax, ten... Twenty copper plates. ”
The city guard stammered to Kyle, his body wincing, not at all with the swagger he had just had towards the average merchant.
And all of this comes from Kyle's gorgeous magical equipment and the ** division badge on his chest that has been certified by the Tower of Stars......... In Tyguras, the most authoritative certification of the ** division is several major magic kingdoms and the platinum empire.
As a world where transcendents rule everything, it is impossible for Tyguras to have a soldier powerless against the strong.
Even when he saw Sylvin's eyebrows, the guards didn't dare to look at them, he trembled all over, and tried to face Kyle with a businesslike attitude, for fear of angering Kyle and leaving him with no good fruit to eat.
The mage's thing... Who's right?
Kyle reached into his dimensional pouch and pulled out a gold coin, issued by the Tower of Stars, which can be circulated around the world.
"And then."
With the soldier's apprehensive and surprised face, Kyle handed him the gold coin...... There is really no smaller currency in the dimensional bag, which is a waste of storage space.
"No need to look for ......"
Waving his hand, pulling Xi Erwen, the two Shi Shiran walked into Griffin Mountain.
"May the Light be with you both!!"
The soldier excitedly pinched the gold coin and shouted at the backs of the two men...... This is a lot of money that comes from being above board.
……
"May the Light be with me? Tsk, that's what I said, but the behavior doesn't match it at all. ”
The guard's words, Kyle naturally heard.
On the one hand, he was amazed at the growth of the Church of the Holy Light, and even the army was heavily infiltrated by faith, and on the other hand, he was skeptical that this soldier really understood the doctrine.
Ever since he eliminated Segir, Belinda has been instilling in Kyle the purpose and doctrine of the Church of the Holy Light whenever they meet, much to Kyle's annoyance.
Moreover, thanks to his strong memory, you can't forget it even if you want to.
However, after seeing the guard's behavior, Kyle also uncovers his true nature as a hypocrite...... The Light wants believers to respect others and to be equal, but the Soldier has two completely different attitudes towards the Merchant Hawker and towards Kyle Hillwen.
………
Kyle regrets coming here!
If you had to give him his first impression of Griffon Mountain, Kyle would have one word.
Rotten!!
Very, very bad!!
The whole city is filled with a stinking smell, which is caused by human and animal feces on the streets, as well as wooden buildings that have been eaten and molded.
The streets are full of dirt, weeds, straw, and human and animal manure, which have long since rotted into a pot of porridge and stinks, and from time to time people have poured rice on the streets to add new pollutants.
As for the sewers? Public toilets?
Not at all!!
Compared to the clean, beautiful modern European town-style of the Platinum Empire and the magical futuristic city of the Tower of the Stars, Griffon's Hill is a bitter medieval scene.
"Be content, boss."
Sirwen covered her scarf and comforted her, "Griffon Mountain is pretty good, at least the roads are still hard pavements made of 'turning mud into stone' magic, I've been to other human territories in Noreen Il, and it's much worse than here." ”
Due to the dispatch of 'Hao', in order to protect Thortord's lodge for three hundred years, Hilwen traveled to almost all the human settlements in Tygulas.
The Noreen Ear Continent is naturally among them, and it can be regarded as well-informed.
Since she said that, Kyle couldn't be more than sure of her.
"Let's go, let's find a place to live......... I really don't want to be on the street anymore!! ”
Kyle is glad that he is a mage, and that he has the luxury of using 'Frost Armor' to craft an ice shell to prevent their boots, trouser legs, and robes from getting dirty on the ground.
"It's unfortunate!"
Sylwin said with a wry smile: "In a place like this, the hotel is not much better, unless you can live in the mansion or manor of the nobles, don't think of a clean place." ”
"Do you know any nobles here?"
"Nope!" The female elf shook her head decisively, indicating that she had no acquaintances here.
"Then why are you talking about this!"
Kyle said angrily, "Since the hotel is not good, let's open a room at random, and we will go to the room and go directly to the 'shelter' to rest." ”
Compared to the filthy environment of Griffin Mountain, the shelter subspace can really be described as a 'portable mansion'.
However, Kyle didn't want to open the door in front of the crowd to prevent being surrounded by people, so he chose to open a room first and enter the subspace in the room.
"You're the boss, of course you have the final say!"
Hilwen still has this attitude.
In the heart of the female elf, she really didn't want to come to such a place:
"How good is the Tower of the Stars, I have to come here to suffer!"
