"Tell you what the predators told you, as it was." Shepard stood up from the recliner, his face still a little pale, but he said to the priest in a calm tone.

The nervous priest stumbled to repeat the news, Shepard crossed his arms and thought for a moment, then looked at him and said, "Your name is Draco, right?" ”

The young man with a square face and an ordinary look, a priest named Draco, suddenly said excitedly: "Yes, yes, Your Excellency! ”

Shepard smiled: "Very well, Drake, I am very satisfied with your acumen and response, starting tomorrow, you go to report to the presiding priest of the Dongcheng District Sanctuary, and say that it is my arrangement to let you be his deputy." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, Your Excellency!" Drake was very excited, the church city now has a temple, and two sanctuaries have been set up on the east and west sides of the outer city, to cope with the growing number of townspeople and believers, and it will be easier to receive divine grace by becoming the deputy of the presiding priest of a sanctuary, rather than staying in the temple with a large group of new priests, waiting for the opportunity to rotate.

"Isn't it good to be promoted like this?"

It wasn't until Drake retreated that Othello looked at Shepard and asked.

"Nothing," said Shepard, who was walking into the house, casually, "that is a pious young man, and he was in the first list to be sent to the Eastern and Western Sanctuary, and I just raised him up again." ”

Othello shrugged and didn't say anything.

Shepard took a piece of parchment, wrote a few lines of text very formally, handed the parchment to Othello, and said: "At present, in the church, except for me and the other two bishops, only you can release the level 3 divine magic [Knowing the language], so, only you can do this matter, you take my handwritten letter, go to Hunter, and ask him to arrange for you to have six guardian knights, and a group of temple guards to follow you, and then prepare a gift, let those trappers take you to that place, as much as possible to contact that intelligent race, And invite them to meet me here! ”

"Remember, it's unclear what the attitude of the other side is, but since they saved the trappers and let them back, we are not allowed to make any provocative actions until they attack us! The Knights Cathar will carry out your orders unconditionally, and it is important that anyone who disobeys my warnings and is knocked unconscious in the wilderness, and you must do it carefully. ”

Othello solemnly took the parchment and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Excellency, I will definitely invite the other party over!" ”

Shepard patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "I trust you, go ahead!" ”

Othello took a few steps back in front of Shepard, turned and walked out of the room.

"Your Excellency, this is it......"

The hunters are all dared, after escaping death, the fear is reduced a lot, although they don't want to come to this place again so soon, but the bishop of the church with a large group of heavily armed church force to come to the door to 'invite', the power to agree or not is in his hands, besides, there are so many people to guard, the safety factor is not ordinarily high, simply agreed.

Othello looked left and right, and generously asked everyone to stand in a position that was not hidden, but not easy to sneak attack, and then took out the prepared gifts, some flowers and trinkets woven by the townspeople, and placed them on the table that had been moved.

He unleashes the divine magic, and the divine magic will release the words he says in the form of mental fluctuations at the same time, which can basically meet the communication needs of most intelligent races, and it is also one of the necessary divine techniques for the mission of the Church of the Gods.

"Friends who have never met, I am Othello, Bishop of the Church of Light from the Church of Light belonging to my Lord Tonatiu, the Lord of Light, and our Pope has heard the news that you have saved my Lord believer, and I have asked me to express my gratitude and hope to invite you to our city, and His Holiness would like to interview you."

After saying that, everyone waited quietly for a while, but there was no response.

Othello repeated the same sentence several more times, and suddenly a voice sounded: "Who is your friend!" ”

The voice spoke in an unfamiliar language, fast and graceful, but it sounded like a woman's voice.

Othello rejoiced: "Believe in our sincerity, I swear in the name of the God I believe in, we come with good intentions, and believe that we can be friends." ”

However, the voice fell silent, and after waiting for a while, Othello had no choice but to repeat the original words several times.

"Your Pope, what do you want to talk to us about?"

A male voice sounded, but the position was on the heads of everyone!

Everyone was startled and looked up, only to see a dozen humanoid creatures armed with bows and arrows or long swords standing on the trunk of the tree above everyone's heads in a fighting posture.

The Knights of the Cathar and the Guardians were about to draw their weapons, but Othello quickly stopped them, turned his head to look at the humanoid creatures above him, and said: "What the Pope wants to say is not something I know, but I believe it must be an extremely important matter, and I hope you can see that we are here with the purpose of peace and friendship, and you are pointing your weapons at your friends who desire peace, not the actions of good people." ”

One of the aliens above him made a gesture, and the weapon in his hand was put away, like a leader jumping from a tree lightly, and landed in front of Othello with great dexterity.

Othello and several people around him gasped, not only shocked by the other party's skills, but also shocked by the other party's handsome appearance that had no friends.

A turquoise-encrusted silver headband engulfs the supple gray hair, and his handsome appearance, though not confusing his gender, is enough to amaze humans, dressed in delicate metal armor with unknown delicate patterns engraved on it.

He has a slender figure, and in his right hand he holds a long sword that is incomparably delicate and sharp, and the jaw of the sword is also hollowed out to protect the palm of the sword, and his left hand is tied to the forearm with a delicate pattern engraved with a delicate pattern similar to that of armor.

"Othello, servant of the Lord of Light, bishop of the Church of Light." Othello, who came back to his senses, hurriedly introduced himself.

The handsome male alien nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Lemonkel, the captain of the forest patrol of the [Sylfan Kingdom], we are wood elves. ”

[Note: In the subject of each race, human generally refers to the people of their own race, whether it is a dwarf or an elf or a human, the human in the subject usually refers to the same race of the subject, for example, the human of the elf refers to the elf, but in order to facilitate distinction and understanding, this article refers to each race]

"Elves?" Othello chewed on the word, and his eyes lit up, "Hello, Lemenkel, would you like to go to our city and meet the Pope?" ”

Lemmon Ker nodded: "If you don't mind, I can go and see your Pope." ”

"Yes," Othello was pleased, but he hesitated, "Well, I hope you don't mind me asking, there are other ...... above you Is it the one who can rule over you, or the elves? ”

Lemonkel looked at him and suddenly smiled: "You don't have to be like this, our civilization level is much higher than yours, in fact, my patrol team has already discovered your whereabouts, and has also reconnoitred your towns nearby, so I am willing to go with you to meet your Pope." ”

Othello snorted a little embarrassed, and Lemonkel continued: "Our [Sylvan Kingdom] is ruled by King Landier, below the king, except for the members of the royal family, there is no distinction between other elves, and the royal family is only better than us, which does not mean that there is an extreme disparity in status, and although I am the captain, I am actually just a warrior of the kingdom, just to have a commander who can better play the role of each warrior." ”

Othello made an inviting gesture: "In that case, Lemonkel, welcome you and your warriors. ”

Lemonkel looked up and said a few words to the other elves, several of them disappeared in a flash, so fast that no one could see the movements, and the rest of them also jumped down as soon as they turned over, and one of the petite-looking elves pouted: "Lemonker, are you really going to the human town?" ”

Listening to the voice, it was the first female voice to speak, and the others couldn't understand the elven language, so they could only watch Othello communicate strangely with them in human language.

Lemonkel said calmly: "Elitril, the lifespan of human beings is much shorter than ours, but their passion for life is much hotter than ours, I want to see them up close, get to know them, and then report to King Landil, and let him make the next decision." ”

"Then we'll go with you." Elitriel looked at Lemonkel steadfastly, followed by several other elves, their faces tense.

"Ha, you don't have to be so nervous, our townspeople are very hospitable......" Othello was really embarrassed to invite each other, but it made it look like he was going to part with life and death.

Lemonkel nodded lightly at Elitrielle and the others, and said calmly: "Let's go together, it's okay, my intuition tells me that there is no danger ahead." ”

The Knights of the Cathar and the guards opened the way, and Othello accompanied the elven squad, and everyone walked towards the church city.

The hunters on the side looked at the elves in surprise, especially Elitril, who was observing everyone curiously, and they didn't know what kind of thoughts were turning in their minds.

"I don't like that guy, Lemmonker, his eyes are disgusting!" Elitriel overheard the predator's movements, and whispered quickly to Lemonker in Elven language.

Lemonkel glanced at the trapper: "Control your emotions, Elitrielle, this is what I am bringing you for, not all races love their own people like elves, and can treat other races with kindness and objectivity, you are a warrior, warriors should always be vigilant, and protect themselves and their comrades." ”

Elitriel lowered her head and muttered a few words, and Othello, who was beside her, overheard the conversation between the two, glanced at the casual predator, and said nothing.
