Chapter 14 - The Hidden Darkness
When the elven nobles of Darker discovered that the two counts from the kingdom of Mirakesa had begun to work with the Church army to clear the Gulveigs of the spirits, some of the refugees in the city had begun to receive relief from the Church. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
These reliefs are secret and no one knows about them, only the refugees who are receiving them. The other refugees were curious about why they didn't go hungry and why they had blankets to keep them out at night, so they became jealous and began to snatch their food and blankets.
But none of the refugees knew where they got their stuff.
From the refugees who had not been relieved to snatch the refugees who received relief from the Shadow Church, the refugees were inevitably divided into two factions.
On the one hand, there are rebels controlled by the nobles, who do not listen to the priests and priests of the Shadow Dragon King and the goddess of sin, and are obsessed with the priests and priests of the Poison God and the Spider Queen who were executed, and are ignorant because the ones who spread the geist curse on Gulweg are really protecting their Dakk elves.
The other faction is completely different from the followers of the Poison God and the Spider Queen. They are innocents, because those stupid guys will be implicated, so they don't have a good opinion of those poison god believers. In addition, the food and blankets secretly issued to them by the Shadow Church were snatched away by these poison god believers, so they naturally subconsciously stood on the side of the Shadow Church and spontaneously began to target those poison god believers.
In this situation, the nobles of Gulveg gradually found that their control over the refugees became worse and worse, and after a few days, they completely lost control of the refugees.
The rebellion against the Shadow Church had not yet begun before it failed because of the refugees' own problems. The refugees themselves began to fight fiercely because of their different positions and perspectives. This made the nobles' hopes of reclaiming Gulveig from the Shadow Church come to naught.
When Gulveig's geist spirit was almost resolved, the Shadow Church stepped forward again, severely stopped the refugees' infighting, and arranged the refugees divided into two factions to the east and west walls of Gulveig, and built some simple shelters for them.
Such a move may seem to stop the refugees' infighting, but in fact it further divides them.
The separation of the east and west sides of the city has made the two groups of refugees less and less communicative, and more hostile to each other.
Especially because the Innocents faction is often able to secretly get some supplies from the Shadow Church, which makes the rebels who can only fend for themselves blush, and rob the refugees of the Innocents faction again and again.
As the spirits outside Gulveg and hidden inside the city were eliminated little by little, the nobles became more and more restless, and the hope in their hearts was like those spirits, one by one, the soldiers and priests of the Shadow Church cut off their heads, nailed to the ground and turned into useless ashes.
Perhaps thinking that things were almost done, the three priests in the city's temple, Chimzia, Vegana, and Kazna, gathered all the nobles of Gulveg to discuss something in the magic tower that was used as the lord's house.
The nobles didn't know what the three of them had in mind, but in order to survive this time and have a chance to find the opportunity to fight back again, and not be executed by the three priests of the Shadow Church for some god who knows what to do, the nobles chose to accept the invitation.
The interior of the magic tower is very ornate, the floor is covered with snow-white tiles, the gaps are filled with gold, the chandelier carved from a large piece of crystal hangs overhead, and the walls are covered with various famous paintings, which makes many low-income nobles envious.
And there are some nobles with a long family history and rich family background, but they are very scoffing at this kind of practice that is almost showing off.
After all the Dak elven nobles in the city arrived, Kazna and the other three priests slowly appeared in their field of vision.
The cold Chimzia, the amiable Vegana, and the smiling Kazna. Each of them, in the eyes of those nobles, looked very bad, and subconsciously felt that this meeting was a Hongmen banquet. Otherwise, why did all three priests in the temple appear here? And why are there so many priests in the hall?
With a straight face and dotted her fingers, Chimzia counted the number of nobles on the battlefield, and when she finished counting, Kazna on the side was laughed and said to the nobles: "Since everyone has arrived, let's go into the conference room now and start our meeting today!" ”
Hearing this, many timid nobles subconsciously swallowed their saliva, while the bolder ones gritted their teeth and followed the three priests into the conference room.
"You may be seated!" Standing in her seat, Priest Vegana held out a hand and motioned for the nobles to sit in their seats.
As they sat down, the nobles looked at the thirty or so priests with armoured scepters standing by the wall in the conference room, and the uneasiness in their hearts suddenly intensified.
Watching the nobles sit down one by one, the three priests also sat down one by one. After motioning for the two priests standing at the gate to close the door to the conference room, Priest Kazna smiled and said, "The three of us have invited you here to talk about the spirits and the refugees in the city. ”
Upon hearing this, the nobles were suddenly shocked, and said secretly: "The three of them shouldn't know anything, right?" ”
"Everyone also knows that the problem of the geyrs has been dealt with now, and in about two or three days, the geists on Gulveg's side will be completely wiped out, and then our Gulwig army will begin to clear the geists in other parts of the Hel territory. In order to reassure the soldiers who are going out, we hope to be able to solve the problem of those refugees as soon as possible. Looking at the nervous expressions on the faces of the nobles, Priest Chimtia suppressed the urge to laugh in his heart, and said to the nobles expressionlessly: "Because there are too many refugees, the number of priests in our Shadow Church in the city is simply not enough to solve this problem reasonably. So the three of us unanimously decided to hand over the group of refugees in the east of the city to you to deal with! ”
As soon as these words came out, several nobles were immediately frightened and stood up, looking at the three priests with panicked expressions.
The group of refugees in the east of the city was the group of rebels who had been controlled by their nobles, and the three of them asked them to deal with those refugees, probably to warn them and at the same time to test what they would do. Is it really to solve the trouble, or is it to take advantage of this opportunity to do something.
But whatever the purpose of the three priests, they already knew that they, the nobles, were the culprits behind the refugee problem. How can this not make the nobles who have been oppressed by the Shadow Church frightened!
At this moment, if it weren't for the fear of setting themselves on fire, these nobles wanted to sell one or two big nobles, so that these three priests would take their attention away from themselves.
Seeing that some of the nobles stood up in horror, Priest Kazna looked at the nobles with a smile and said with a smile: "What's the matter with you? Could it be that you want to compete for the task and take the credit for yourself? ”
Listening to Kazna's smiling and playful words, the nobles couldn't help but glance at each other, each sat back in his seat, took out his handkerchief, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
But at this moment, Kazna suddenly said again: "By the way, we have one more thing to say!" That is, about the remuneration given to the two counts of the kingdom of Mirakesa. For the Empress's envoy, one of your nobles, in order to invite those two to come to our Dak'afa, has offered to give them a copy of all the magic books of our empire! Of course, there's moisture in it, as you and we know. But as a big country, since we have promised to be paid, we should more or less give some and let them go back to Mirakesa as soon as possible. Therefore, the three of us hope that if you have a collection of magic books at home, you will copy one or two copies to them appropriately to show our sincerity! ”
Hearing this, one of the nobles suddenly stood up, pointed at Priest Kazna, Priest Chimtia, and Priest Vegana, and said angrily: "What do you guys from the Shadow Church mean!?" You let us deal with those refugees, and now let us hand over our own collections for those Mirakezas, why!? We nobles didn't get the slightest benefit, but you guys from the Shadow Church got a lot of benefits because of your relationship with Lu Ming's guy and the alliance with (hunters)! These magic books should be produced by you! ”
Seeing that the face of the priest of Chimtia was getting darker and darker, and the smile on the face of the priest Kazna was becoming more and more dangerous, those of the nobles who had brains hurriedly stood up, trying to persuade them not to be angry, and to make the stunned young man apologize to the two of them.
But before they could speak, the Vijana priest with the best personality on the side suddenly spoke: "But the problem is that our temple only has a few magic books in total, which is not enough to fully pay those rewards!" ”
Priest Kazna then said, "Moreover, as the only Dark-ked elf in this country, we in the Shadow Church have already given the magic books we can give to those two counts to copy themselves. But it's a pity that whether it's us in Gulveg or the Imperial Capital, the total number of magic books that the church can take out is only twelve or thirteen. ”
Hearing this, all the nobles were instantly speechless. There are indeed not many magic books in the Shadow Church, and even in the temple of the Shadow Church in Gulveg, the magical town of Dak'afa, there are no more than seven magic books. After all, the Shadow Church is a religious force, and they don't need to practice any magic, just divine magic and newly obtained miracles are enough for them.
So the magic book is more of a collection of nobles like them.
There was no way, after the nobles knew that they had to take out some manuscripts of magic books to solve the matter caused by the envoy who was also a nobleman, they had to promise the three priests that they would give some manuscripts of magic books. But no one knows how many copies can be taken out, and how many mistakes and omissions there are.
Seeing that the nobles had promised to take out the transcripts of the magic books, Priest Kazna smiled and said to the nobles, "In that case, let's start dealing with the refugees from tomorrow!" ”
"Yes, Your Excellency!" The nobles stood up, bowed slightly to the three priests, and prepared to leave.
When the three priests saw that they did not continue to make trouble, they asked the priest to open the gate and let the nobles go.
However, when the nobles left, Lu Ming and Loslick, who were in the next room, came to the conference room.
"Among those nobles, there are many ghosts in their hearts. Something should be done in the city tonight. We must arrange the army as soon as possible, keep them on standby at any time, and wait for the moment when those nobles make a move to give them a fatal surprise! Sitting casually on a chair of a high-ranking nobleman, Lu Ming said to the three priests.
In this way, Chimzia immediately made a decision, and immediately asked the priests present to go to the military camp in the north of the city to mobilize a thousand soldiers to prepare for the next counterattack of those bad brains among the nobles.
And Lu Ming and Lothric glanced at each other, and they respectively said that the two of them would go to the east of the city and the west of the city to prevent those Dak elf nobles from playing any tricks.
-----------------------------------
A few hours later, in a makeshift slum to the east of the city, several Dark-elven nobles lobbied the refugees who were originally anti-Shadow Dragon King, Karma Goddess, and Kaeya to protest against the Shadow Church now dominated by the priests of these three gods.
Because these Darkk elf refugees are believers in the Poison God and the Spider Queen, they are very dissatisfied with the current Shadow Church, so under the persuasion of these nobles with ulterior motives, they naturally agreed to stand up against the current 'tyranny' of the Shadow Church.
However, before leaving, the leader of the refugees suddenly had an IQ at this time, and asked those nobles quite worriedly: "This noble lady, we are just some refugees, how can we defeat those priests of the Shadow Church?" You know, even the priests of the Poison God and the Spider Queen have not been able to beat them! ”
Hearing this, the nobleman who was asked this question by her suddenly shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about!?" Are you suspecting that we are not well prepared!? ”
"Don't dare! But now that we're defenseless, it's a bit of a death to fight the priests who have mastered the arts. ”
Seeing that he was still a little worried, another Dak Elven nobleman came over and said to him and the other refugees, "Do you think we will not prepare weapons for you?" Look! This is the treasure we have for you, and with it, you will be able to defeat the priests! ”
As he spoke, the nobleman took out several very strange gems and gave them to some of the able-bodied Dak elves among the refugees.
Looking at these purple-black gems that exuded an ominous aura, the refugee leader gritted his teeth, lifted them up at once, and shouted, "Fight for the Poison God and the Spider Queen!" ”
"Fight for the Poison God and the Spider Queen!!" "Fight for the Poison God and the Spider Queen!!" "Fight for the Poison God and the Spider Queen!!"
In a burst of shouts, the refugees used the gems, and under the horrified gaze of the nobles, they turned into monsters like mud......
