009, Frans
Five days later, on the deck of a merchant ship. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Hearing Martin's words, Adam was hard to accept: "The good news you said is that we will land in Midland, the port of the Kingdom of France, tomorrow morning, are you kidding?" ”
If Adam had just come into this world, it wouldn't matter where he landed on Uppler. But after killing two Silver Bishops of the Church of Dawn in a row, Adam minds very much.
You know, according to Luke, when the enemy kills the priest, the gods sense the murderer. Since the killing of the Silver Bishop in Falcon City will be known to Luke, will the killing of Silver Bishop Luke a few days ago be known by more members of the Church of the Dawn?
This is also the reason why Adam was a little difficult to accept for a while after learning from Martin that the landing place that was about to land tomorrow was a port belonging to Frans.
"I don't want to land at any port in France, but there is no other option." Martin touched the non-existent sweat and looked very embarrassed.
"Come on, I'll wait for your explanation." Martin knew that two silver bishops had died at Adam's hands so far, and since he had made such a choice, Adam should listen to his explanation, if he was not satisfied......
Martin was very prepared, took out a map, and unfolded it in front of Adam, "Look, this is Celtic, this is Eupla, ......"
This was the first time Adam had seen the world on a large map, with maps of the whole of Uppler and Celtic, which was located in the westernmost part of Uppler, like an upside-down pear, large at the top and small at the bottom.
"This is Frans, look here." Martin's chubby finger pointed to a country in the far west of Uppler, which was narrow at the top and bottom and slightly wide in the middle, and explained to Adam, "We have no other choice. ”
On the map, Adam sees the kingdom of Frans with its long coastline, which is shaped like an elongated semicircle and occupies the middle part of the western coastline of Yupler.
Regardless of how the merchant ships departing from Celtic progressed, it seemed that Frans was the only option.
Pointing to the north and south of the Kingdom of France on the map, Adam asked, "What if you land in these two places?" ”
"This place is actually more dangerous, the south is the Emerald Forest, that is the territory of the elves, and the natural elves of the two major branches of the elves are here to establish the elven royal court, and they do not welcome the arrival of humans." Martin pointed to the large area to the south.
This Adam expressed his understanding, after all, the original elven empire was overthrown by humans, not to mention that the vigilance between different races would naturally be a little heavier.
"What about the North?"
"The north is the territory of the Romano Empire, and the last thing you welcome there is the White Mage." Another reason that sounds plausible.
"Why?"
"I don't know very well about this, but maybe it's because of the hostility to Frans. You know, Frans is now the most prosperous place for the Church of the Dawn, and the relationship between the Romano Empire and Frans is pretty bad. ”
Adam sighed, powerless to refute.
"If the lord is worried about revenge from the Church of Dawn, I don't think there is any need to worry about it in the short term." Martin looked at Adam, who was not in a very good mood, and said cautiously.
"Really?"
"Of course, I still count on the Lord Lord to help me complete the mission of the Buffison Business Alliance, and I won't joke about this kind of thing." Martin patted his chest, full of confidence, "As far as I know, there is a blacklist of enemies of the church within the Dawn Church, and the people on this list are powerful and powerful. While I may be disrespectful to you when I say this, I don't have enough strength to kill two Silver Bishops and Bronze ranks to make this list. ”
Adam's mood was a little complicated for a while.
"In other words, no one at all knew in a short period of time that it was the Silver Bishop you killed. As long as the adults hide their clothes a little, it is safe in France. ”
"Okay, but if something goes wrong because of this, I'll have to say goodbye to your mission." Although Adam did not regret killing Bishop Silver, Adam was still a little scared when he was about to land in Frans, the stronghold of the Church of Dawn.
In fact, this is also human nature, don't look at Adam's killing of the silver bishop so neatly, it's not that they are not strong, but they were all picked up by Adam.
And the Church of the Dawn is a well-known force in Frans and even in Yupler, because there is a god behind him, the Lord of the Dawn.
Adam was not ignorant of the gods, as far as he knew, the gods of this world lived in the outer void, and although they could not directly interfere with the world, they all established their own churches on the continent.
There are many natural masters in the Church, including a Pope of unfathomable strength in the Church of the Dawn, a College of Cardinals composed of ten cardinal archbishops, and a large number of silver bishops.
Each cardinal archbishop is of the Golden Rank, and their name is sung and celebrated everywhere in the Frans.
"Don't worry, sir."

"This is the port city of Midland, Frans." Adam stood on the deck, and in his vision there was already a huge city, about the size of Falcon City, but it was denser and more prosperous than Falcon City.
It is a port city with a large number of ships docked, some fishing boats and some merchant ships. The docks were full of workers carrying goods, and it was in full swing.
"My lord, when we go ashore, we must remember not to say a word that is not good for the Church of the Dawn." Martin told Adam again.
"Got it." This is the third time Martin has said the same thing to Adam.
The reason is that under the control of the Church of the Dawn, the French have very strict control over the faith of the people in the kingdom, and every people in the Kingdom of France must believe in the Lord of the Dawn, otherwise it is a great sin.
Every child is indoctrinated from birth with the greatest and omnipotent mind of the Lord of the Dawn. There were even special priests and warriors who were randomly selected on the streets for them to recite the doctrinal texts of the Church of the Dawn.
If it is a Franconian and cannot recite it, it will be punished with caning. If the circumstances are serious, they are more likely to be thrown into prison and face even more horrific punishments.
No wonder their mission in Celtic was so unsuccessful, and who would want to live in a city where even their minds are controlled unless they are really in a desperate situation.
Fortunately, this is Midland, a port city where merchants and adventurers from all over Jupra go to sea, and a full third of the population is not Franconians. So the church's rule over Midland is more about order than faith.
Here, as long as the beliefs of the local people can be respected, and a certain degree of respect for the Lord of the Dawn, there will be no harassment from the priests.
To pay homage to the Lord of the Dawn is to donate a small bag of gold coins to the temple in Midland.
After a few days at sea, Adam's feet were once again on the thick, smooth ground, and he felt refreshed.
Only this time his identity is no longer a traveling white mage, but an employee of the great merchant Martin.
In Midland, the priests had the highest status, they were the rulers of the city, followed by the great merchants who came and went. They were very popular because they often contributed large sums of gold to the temple, giving the priests more money to repair the temple and spread the faith.
As for adventurers and mages, if they are followers of the Lord of the Dawn, it is even better. If not, they will find it out of place with most of the city.
"Wait a minute, my people will be coming here to pick me up shortly." Martin whispered to Adam as he instructed his men to bring down the ship's cargo.
About five minutes later, Martin's people in Midland came to the docks to greet Martin. Under his leadership, Adam and Andrew followed Martin to Midland's quarters, where they were to rest for the night and set off again tomorrow for their destination, Gaia, the capital of Sock.
On the way to Martin's quarters, Adam saw a familiar figure in a white magic robe walking in front of him, and that figure seemed to be called Carlos, a white mage he had met in Falcon City.
