Chapter 41: Ogre
The newly formed Dragon Voice adventure team has now returned to the base camp first, that is, the Dukedom of Crystal Fire, firstly, to go to the mission site just passing here, and secondly, Linde and William also want to go to see the newly built Gaia Cathedral, the headquarters of the Earth Church is now the second holiest place in the hearts of believers on the continent of Airo, and its official name is also named by the "Son of God" and "Uncrowned King" Mijas himself, which is different from Linde, who is favored by the gods and blessed with blessings. Linde is actually more similar to an upgraded version of a "god" like Jeff, but Mijas can be said to be half a "god son" in the true sense, after all, he was born from the belly of the current earth goddess, and a miscarriage is also a birth, isn't it?
"Oh my God, is this really obsidian?" None of the five in the room, except William and Jeff, were the kind of lords who cared about wealth, and rather than the extravagance of an entire church made of obsidian, a precious magical material, Lind and Butch wanted to figure out how the Earth Goddess had turned them into a holy marble color without altering all of the obsidian's properties.

William on the other side was originally a high-level thief, and now seeing such a large amount of wealth, he was about to lose his patience, so he could only ask Jeff to constantly stimulate his nerves with holy light, so as to remind him from time to time of the consequences of stealing in such a place. Although the behavior of his companions was quite unbearable, Jeff did not react in particular, after all, he himself was shocked to the point of incoherence at one time, especially after being selected to become a Templar reserve, he and his companions have been living in the backyard of the temple, those minotaurs and dwarves have not had a faithful faith, they would have already begun to dig the foot of the wall to make equipment, especially the dwarves, Jeff saw that many dwarves fell asleep with one hand holding the forge hammer in one hand and the other hand holding the forge hammer in the other. As for Jeff himself, I'm embarrassed to say that he is even worse than these companions, but compared to the minotaurs and dwarves who are at least mid-level professionals, Jeff, who had only 6 professional levels, dug for a night, and was stunned that he couldn't dig up a single fragment.
"Alright, come to this circle." Seeing that one of his young people behaved so badly, Bishop Green, who was appointed by Mijas as the second-in-command of the church, shook his head with a wry smile, and asked Jeff to move William to a circle in the center of the hall. "What just happened?" William sat down on top of the circle, puzzled by his performance just now, after all, William thought that he was not the kind of person who had no lower limit, and that kind of performance close to "out of control" was challenging his confidence in his self-control ability as a high-level professional.
"After all, Archbishop Mijas is a legendary red dragon, and the archbishop now prefers to act with his half-dragon state, the magic of the dragon clan itself carries a curse, and the more valuable the treasure, the easier it is to be infected with the magic of the dragon clan, and the easier it is to carry a strong curse." Even Bishop Grimm is helpless about this, which is why Gaia Cathedral has not been able to open to the public until now, and even the original group of Templar reserves cannot resist this curse, so you can imagine how much impact it will have on the civilians. This curse that inspires greed in the hearts of mortals is indeed very tricky, and even if Mijas contributes a magic circle that can absorb the magic power he inadvertently emitted, it will take at least two months to completely purify the cathedral.
"Alright, Jeff, William, we're going to get down to business, and there's time for you to visit this church later." Alice turned around and called her teammates, Lindh and Butch were immune to this level of curse, and Alice, as a knight, was basically immune to any spell of the mind type.
"Mistress Alice, your gear is ready." A dwarven Templar walked into the hall, although Jeff became the head of the Templar Order with a similar career, but these dwarves and minotaurs were originally above Jeff, just like the dwarven Templar who came in now, he was originally a high-level warrior, and he was re-promoted to a high-level Templar only less than three days later than Jeff, he is also the current deputy head of the Templar Order, and during Jeff's absence, he needs to rely on him to command the entire Knights and protect Gaia Cathedral.
In fact, Mijas assigned Jeff to follow Alice out on adventures also has this consideration, although Jeff turned out to be a serious academic knight, and he can't be said to know anything about the art of commanding, but at the age of 16, he is still too young, let him join Alice's adventure team to increase Jeff's experience, and secondly, to retain the image of him, the head of the Templar Order, in the hearts of the knights under his command, otherwise a newcomer who is too young to be the leader of a group of high-ranking Templars, It is estimated that not many people will be convinced, for example, the deputy head who came in now only saluted Alice, and even Bishop Green did not pay attention to it, let alone Jeff, the head of the Templar Order.
The "equipment" in the mouth of the deputy head of the regiment is naturally the standard equipment of Alice's scheduled adventure team, due to the different occupations of everyone, these equipment are also different, but their role is the same, as a contact prop, these equipment are engraved with a spiritual link array, and people wearing this batch of equipment can communicate with other members through this circle without barriers, and this function alone is enough to make these equipment rated as excellent.
Jeff is a Templar, and he is wearing a heavy armor, and the additional equipment he can wear is very limited, so he chose a red scarf, with his armor with gold on a white background, giving people the feeling of the male protagonist in a traditional Japanese RPG, which is also Linde's evaluation of his paladin teammate, although everyone doesn't quite understand what this means.
And Linde himself chose a men's stud earring, which was designated by the plague queen, when Linde stepped into the temple of the earth goddess, the plague queen was naturally aware, but now Her Majesty the queen is chatting with the earth goddess through this "earth god", until Linde began to choose equipment before he specially told Linde to choose this purple men's stud earrings, which also means that Linde is going to have an ear piercing, although Linde himself is not very willing, but he does not dare to try to disobey the gods he serves.
Alice took a bracelet herself, Butch chose a headband, William took a belt in the end, and Alice also brought 10 pieces of similar equipment for backup, so if someone joins in the future, she won't need to come back to get it.
"Alright, let's go!" Alice waved her hand, and all 5 of them rode on the "fine snow" provided by the lord's mansion, although William and Butsy's own mounts, that is, the unique mounts of the elves wildebeest, are also very good, this animal that lives in the forest is the crystallization of unicorns and pure white horses, although it has lost most of its abilities, but it also surpasses most ordinary horses, and even surpasses the top horse of the knight empire in terms of explosiveness and jumping power "fine snow". But the Dragon's Voice adventure team will definitely travel all over the continent, so the wildebeest with average endurance is not so suitable, so everyone in the crystal fire collar has changed to the specialty "fine snow" here, which is still bought by relying on Alice's relationship, otherwise except for Alice and Jeff, the other three can no longer buy "fine snow" in the list, of course, if Linde goes to the relationship with the Earth Church, it is still very likely to get one or two.
Relying on excellent mounts, Alice and her party only took three days to arrive at the location described in the mission, among these counts in the northwestern part of the Knight Empire.
"These, are they fields?" Jeff dismounted and plucked a dried wheat, and rubbed it with his hand in surprise, and the fine wheat that fell from the ears of wheat confirmed his suspicion, "Are all the crops here dead?" ”
"Yes, I don't know what's going on, the wheat in the field is dying in patches, and it's about to grow, and now we still have some surplus grain, but if it goes on like this, our village really doesn't know how to live." Although the quests in the Adventure Guild were issued by these lords, Alice decided to go to the surrounding villages to find out first.
"Old village chief, are you sure it's just the crops that are dying?" Alice asked aloud, because the surrounding mountains and forests were still very normal.
"No, as long as it's eaten, that is, those fruit trees and the like, whether we plant them or have them in the mountains, they all die." When the old village chief said this, his brows furrowed even tighter.
"It seems that you are right, the situation is indeed urgent!" Alice suddenly stared into the distance and said solemnly.
"Adventurer, what's going on?" The old man saw that Alice and her group of five suddenly turned their heads to look into the distance, and couldn't help but ask a little nervously.
"Ogre, at least there is an ogre in the camp, you quickly let the villagers return to their homes, let the militia guard the entrance of the village, we will deal with them, if there is a fish that slips through the net to break through our blockade, you let the militia entangle it, we will support it as soon as possible." Alice finished formulating tactics in the shortest time, and then got on the horse and rushed to the entrance of the village with her team, although it is not their task to fight the ogre, but in the civilized world, "cannibalism" is the most unforgivable capital crime, and Alice does not mind cleaning up the ogres in such a camp.
"Captain, why are there ogres in such a place?" On the way, William asked with some doubts, he was not very worried about the outcome of this operation, after all, ordinary ogres only have 12 to 13 challenge levels at most, which belongs to the category of mid-level professionals, and it is natural for these high-level professionals to defeat a group of ogres.
"Just because they're called ogres doesn't mean they like to eat people." Although Alice said so, she did not show the slightest mercy for this primitive and brutal race, as long as she saw that the order she gave to the adventure team was to be annihilated, "Now that there is a famine here, the beasts that have nothing to eat will naturally come out to find 'food'." "For ogres, the village behind Alice is naturally the best target.
"Get ready!" Alice can already see the figure of the ogre, and she still needs to use her perception to investigate, but now she can use her gaze, which can also show how amazing the speed of "fine snow" is, "Destroy them!" ”
