Chapter 188: Altminster Abbey
A day later, Tous left Vantabilgrum and traveled to other cities under his command.
Although it is said that the enemy in the north has not yet invaded, as the so-called precautions, Tous immediately decided to personally mobilize and gather troops from all over Hampshire and rush to the northern border.
Xia Di and Kayilu were the guests of the Tous family, and stayed in the Lord's Mansion to assist in the investigation of the bipedal poisonous dragon.
But to be honest, Xia Di was a little surprised by the current situation, and even felt overwhelmed, not to mention whether the bipedal poisonous dragon could be found, but also said that if it was not found, whether Kayilu could fulfill his promise also made him doubtful. Therefore, on the day of the appointment, Xia Di asked Kayilu about her thoughts.
"My thoughts? Of course, immediately find the poisonous dragon and save the beautiful girl from fire and water. Kayilu crossed her shoulders and her eyes half-closed, still looking like she didn't know how thick the sky was.
"As for whether there is a way to keep the promise...... Well. ”
Kayilu stared straight at Natsudi.
"How?" Xia Di suddenly had a bad premonition.
"When you were in Yeovil, you said that you came to our rescue after breaking through the rebel encirclement alone, right?"
Xia Di nodded.
"Then can you do a little more favor this time and wipe out the main force of the rebels?"
"Huh?"
"If it really doesn't work, it's okay to just assassinate the one who took the lead, once the leader is lost, the rebels will easily collapse, and it shouldn't be difficult to exchange the original promise with Tous on this condition......
"Hey ......"
"By the way, don't you know who the enemy's general is, it's okay, when the war starts, the other party should go to the battlefield, and then ......"
"Slow, slow, what do you think of me!?"
Xia Di interrupted helplessly.
Although his combat effectiveness is much better than before, after all, he is not a spearman who enters and exits in thousands of troops, and the enemy is not a meritocracy, so it is unrealistic to let him alone find the leader of the enemy army from so many enemy troops on the premise of ensuring that he can retreat from so many enemy troops, take his head, and escape smoothly.
Although it is not impossible to use the power of the fist gloves, it has not been long since the last crusade against the ancient demonic beast, and the energy required to release the skill has not been collected, he doesn't want to harm himself again, maybe he will really die on the battlefield this time.
"Cut, can't you do it......" Kayilu frowned slightly, looking very disappointed. She really seemed to think that Xia Di would agree.
Xia Di looked at the girl speechlessly, and suddenly felt that he couldn't be angry, and couldn't help but scold: "Mentally retarded, don't always think about unrealistic things." If you continue to play like this, sooner or later you will play a crash. Rather than having time to talk to me, you might as well write a letter to your father quickly, or go home and cry honestly, and have a good chance of success. ”
"Who are you scolding for being mentally retarded! I'm not going back! Also, I wrote the letter a long time ago! ”
"Then send it quickly, idiot."
"Huh? Do you think you're smart yourself!? ”
"Nonsense."
"Hmph, if you're so smart, you'll help you think of a way to kill the rebels single-handedly!"
"I can't do it!"
The two quarreled again.
Of course, this dispute is not over.
In the end, the two decided to go their separate ways, with Kailu going to find the poison dragon as agreed, while Xia Di stayed in the house as Etiel's bodyguard.
And just like that, the first day passed.
Early morning.
Kayiru set off with the search force.
Although it was now time to use troops in the territory, Tous left behind a search force of sixteen men, who he left to help Kayilu before leaving.
They are all scouts with years of military experience, and they are not even better than Kayilu in terms of combat effectiveness alone, but they are all elite in terms of search ability.
“…… I'm gone, huh! "In the entrance of the lord's house, Kayilu glanced at the Xia Di, and led the subordinates of the search team to leave the mansion in a huff.
Xia Di waved his hand casually and immediately looked away.
His gaze focused on a group of strangers outside the window, in the courtyard.
They were the temporary guards newly recruited by the butler Sinad, numbering half a hundred, all of them adventurers.
Like Kayilu, they came to apply after seeing the commission announcement in front of the Adventurer's Guild.
As for the personal qualities and abilities of these personnel...... Xia Di felt that it was quite bad, but after all, it was not a time of peace, so there was no need to be picky, so Sinade still recruited them in and prepared a training house for them on the periphery of the lord's mansion.
"So, ...... next"
Xia Di looked up and enjoyed the morning breeze, seeing the bright morning sun swaying on the earth, for some reason, he felt a little bored.
"Let's save the beautiful girl from fire and water."
So, reciting the words that someone had once said, he also left the mansion.
……
Winchester Cathedral.
Formerly known as Altminster Abbey.
This church is the largest church in England, with a 160-metre nave aisle, making it also known as the longest church in Britain.
The church has been built for more than 20 years, so it has a small history, but with its magnificent Romanesque architecture and stained glass painted by first-class oil painters, it has also gathered a lot of fame among local Christians. On Sundays, the lecture hall of this church is crowded with men, women and children who come to worship.
However, it was not a Sunday, but in the center of the lecture hall, there were still a few figures.
One of them was a beautiful girl with orange hair, who was kneeling on the ground with her hands in prayer gestures.
In front of her was a wooden bench on which lay a young man with a severely twisted joint in his left arm.
Judging by the costumes, he was supposed to be a civilian laborer somewhere.
The man was short of breath, his face was cold in a sweat, and his expression was very painful.
The girl looked at his arm with pity, and then stirred up the magic in her body.
"God, have mercy on the world, I will obey the will of Our Lady......" the girl said with a holy expression. Immediately after, as the girl's voice fell, several white beams of light shot out from the girl's fingers.
Shined on the man's body.
"Ahh......hh
The man couldn't help but snort.
The joints of his arms were slowly displaced, which made him a little frightened and a little painful, but as the joints gradually moved back to their normal positions, his expression became calmer and calmer.
"Well, that's pretty much it, by the way, as a bonus, I'll give you a ......," the girl said as if she had thought of something.
"That's it."
Behind the girl stood a man in monastic robes and glasses, who immediately stopped her.
He was the priest of this church, Van Kexin, and he couldn't help but want to get angry when he saw that his job was deprived by the girl in front of him, and that the other party was going to do thankless things.
"Hey, why not." Qiu Feng asked with a puzzled expression.
"He's healed, you don't need to waste extra mana." After Van Kexin finished speaking, he patted the man on the shoulder and said, "This gentleman, we have already healed your hand. If nothing else, please go back. ”
"Hey, it's really ......" The man immediately got up, moved his left arm slightly, and let out a surprised exclamation, "Oh, the fracture is really healed, thank you, Miss Reverend, that, this is a little bit of my heart......"
The man pulled out a dozen copper coins from his arms.
Van Kexin glanced at it and shook his head.
"This gentleman, the normal treatment fee for our side is thirty ......" Before Fan Kexin finished speaking, Qiu Feng on the side immediately interrupted him.
"Please put the money away, devout believers, we won't take your money." Qiu Feng stood up and said with a smile, "Have you ever heard such a saying, God has given people a healthy body so that everyone can live a good life, so you don't need to pay us extra money." ”
"Well, but ......" The man looked at the girl's bright smile, and then at the priest beside him, who wanted to say something but was embarrassed, and looked a little confused.
"It's not money that you have to pay, it's what you believe in." Qiu Feng put his hands on his chest and looked reverent, "Therefore, the trust of believers is the greatest happiness of our priesthood. Do you still need to pray, sir? If you don't need it, please go back. ”
"Oh, oh...... All right. Seeing that the other party refused again, the man, although still a little confused, could only scratch his head and turn away, "Then, please allow me to say thank you again." ”
"You're welcome."
A minute later, the figure of the man disappeared into the doorway of the church.
"Ugh."
Van Kexin looked at the girl and sighed heavily.
He can be said to have lived like a year these days.
Because of the presence of this orange-haired girl.
His job so far has been to teach the congregation on Sundays, and on weekdays he has been a pastor to treat the sick and wounded, similar to a physician.
However, in the past few days, his job opportunity has been deprived by the girl in front of him.
If the girl were a normal priest, the problem was the girl......
Ahh
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to scold himself for taking in the girl a few days ago.
