Chapter 59: Knights of the Church III.
Appearing at the door were several of his church's familiar companions, as well as three young men who were complete strangers, two men and one woman, dressed in ornate armor that was very different from the style of the church, and the sparkling gemstone embellishments and openwork patterns on the metal armor looked beautiful—but this also made Gawain secretly disdainful in his heart, this flashy protective gear has never been liked by aristocratic gentlemen who have never been on the battlefield, because beauty and lightness have lost too much solidity. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info However, the jingling sound of walking is indeed very attractive to noble ladies and lonely ladies.
Gawain's gaze lingered slightly on the three strange young men and women, and then at Chris.
"What about Bishop Cliffor? Chris. ”
Gawain's tone was calm and fast, and the three strange young men didn't attract much of his attention. He got up from his seat at the table and greeted Chris warmly. As for "Justice" [Jatis], he has decided to fight for it, and Chris Douglas is now just his opponent. He believed that his thoughts and plans were difficult for the members of the team to discern in the slightest, and the only one to be afraid of was the Bishop, who always had a blank face and could not read deeply.
As for the strange young men and women? Gawain looked at it secretly and quickly put it aside, he had already made a judgment - a few rookie knights from noble backgrounds.
"The Bishop has returned to the church, and it is said that he has found a clue to the necromancer."
Chris answered truthfully. He took a cursory look around the room and soon spotted a young waiter. The waiter was wearing a short brown coat with a white lining, which seemed to belong to the tavern, and Chris suddenly had a puzzled expression on his face, and looked up at Gawain and Amy.
"Haha, we're asking this gentleman something. Now that the Bishop has found out, there is no need for us to continue to disturb this gentleman. ”
Gawain smiled softly, walked over to the waiter, and once again very politely pulled out a handful of Rael. His eyes were clear, his eyes were upright, and he couldn't see the hideous appearance he had before. The young attendant had been in a state of extreme fright all the time, and it was not until the knights were far away that they could not hear the footsteps that he woke up and grabbed a white tablecloth and wrapped it around his waist to hide his somewhat wet crotch. Then, picking up a Rael, putting it in his mouth, and biting it with his teeth—
Genuine silver rael!
In the afternoon, the sun is strong in the town, and the scorching air gradually makes pedestrians scarce. A group of church knights walked quickly through the streets, and most passers-by avoided the iconic costumes, while in some of the shops, under the shady eaves, they stole a few glances.
Gawain Joyce was at the front of the line, his silver armor blades shining in the strong sunlight, and he walked to one part of the main street, and turned into another street—from this T-shaped junction to the other side of the distant peak, a continuous mass of houses, no longer as wide as the main road. There are very few large chambers of commerce that have chosen to be stationed here, and mostly, just a few small towns, local residents and people in various basic industries, live here.
The knights of the church came to a white stone masonry building. Unlike the low, low-rise houses in the surrounding area, the building was tall and majestic, with spotless white stone steps, and two guards stood in front of the arched gate—sword-wielding guards of the Church, mostly civilians who had joined the Church. Compared to the Chosen Knight, it resembles a servant-like existence.
Gawain nodded and smiled, greeted the two guards, and went straight into the church's main hall, which was nothing more than a spacious room. Gawain secretly commented that compared to the Holy Radiance Cathedral in the Holy City of Vest, the church seat in this northland town is indeed too shabby and simple.
"Uncle!"
After passing through the vestibule and cloister, the view gradually widened, and the knights of the church walked back and forth into a large hall. There were few people in the main hall, except for a tall middle-aged man, who bowed his head and whispered a prayer to the statue carved from the fine jade in front of him.
Chris's shouting interrupted his prayer ritual - the middle-aged man turned, a face that was no longer young but still ruddy, with calm eyes and a sparse beard, and the sunlight from the lattice of the window above the side of the wall hit his face, reflecting a few signs of age spots.
But the face had nothing to do with aging, solemn, solemn, unsmiling—the return of the knights did not change the expression of the owner of the church in the town of White Stone, and Bishop Cleaver turned around, clutching a fragment of armor in his hand.
"You're back—"
Bishop Cleaver maintained a flat expression and handed the fragment of armor in his hand to the knights. The blackened piece of armor was about the size of a hand, with a few delicate embosses on it—but these appearances weren't the point, as the white bishop of the Church of the Radiant, Cliffor could already feel the remnants of necromancy in his dry bones.
This was discovered by the militia in the town after the black smoke appeared in the sky this morning, and it was found in the mountains and forests. However, these rough and ignorant mud-legged men and mercenaries did not notice it, and it was not until the church sent someone to inquire that this fragment was found in the backpacks of the militiamen.
For this reason, the knights of the Church were unhappy with the militiamen, who in the eyes of the untouchables, this fragment of armor was equivalent to a heavy Rael. As for the dry-mouthed necromantic aura of the knights, it seemed to them that it was far less than the temptation of silver coins.
It wasn't until three young traveling knights suddenly appeared, drew their swords, and after a few turns, placed their swords on the shoulders of the militiamen—the fragment was counted.
Bishop Cleaver's gaze moved away from the familiar knights to three strange young men and women, and a warm smile suddenly appeared in his cold gaze, "Holy Radiance bless you, young man!" ”
With this whisper of blessing, a faint soft white glow rose from the body of a young female knight in the crowd - the female knight bent down in greeting and thanked her in return with a standard aristocratic salute.
"Alyssa Cecilia, thank you for your gifts, and may the Holy Radiance be with you and me!"
After leaving the necromantic village, Miss Knight and her party traveled all the way to the town of White Stone. When she saw the church knights arguing with the militia on the street corner, the message in her ears made her stop.
Clues to the undead. The knights of the Church tried to investigate, but were hindered by the militia.
What a bunch of cute idiots—Alyssa shook her head as she looked at the church knights. These guys don't seem to understand that the sharpest words in the world are swords!
She listened with her ears open, but when her fingertips inadvertently ran across her cheeks, the shallow, scabbed wound that made Miss Knight almost violent again—she decided to help the Church Knights, and then, with the help of the Church, destroy the undead.
Especially, that abominable anomalous skeleton!
