Bane's temple was unlike any of the other gods, and its appearance reflected his strict class divisions: towering buildings made of angular boulders, decorated with spikes and narrow windows, were as powerful as a fortress or castle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Beneath the fortress-like temple, there is an undisturbed secret room, in which Edward, armed with a scepter, closes his eyes and listens to the report of his men, "Metir has been captured......

"Yes, sir." This man cringed back, it was the Great Sage Koro, who had previously operated on the outskirts of Mertil, and his deployment had not come in handy because of the unexpected success of the siege on the one hand, and the fear of Buck's followers on the other.

Edward's face was expressionless, "Tell me all about this operation, don't try to get away with lying!" ”

"Yes, sir. Everything is under our grasp in the beginning. After using the simple gods, the people have come to trust me. Corot said.

He weighed to clear himself of his responsibilities. "But things suddenly took a turn for the worse, and a powerful assassin came who knew our plans!" As for him being forced to leak church news, it was naturally skipped.

"Finally, I heard him seem to speak of Lady Erica...... I didn't dare to act, for fear that I would miss that adult's business. ”

Edward began to recall, "Coro, I remember you and I have been with you for seven years. At that time, I saw that you were clever, so I ransomed you from the slave traders."

"I dare not forget the life-saving kindness of adults."

Edward was furious, "Don't dare to forget? Then why do you dare to accuse Lord Erica if you are not doing things well! ”

The more Edward spoke, the angrier he became, and he stood up directly, the scepter between his hands flickering, and powerful energy fluctuations emanated from it. "Do you think I don't dare to kill you?"

Kro knelt on the ground, sweating profusely, "I am willing to swear in the name of the god of dissension that there is nothing lying in what I say!" The man really mentioned Erika-sama! My entourage was on the scene at the time, and the adults called me to ask about it. ”

Edward breathed a sigh of relief, calm, as if nothing had happened. "Get up. I've known about your piety, but failure is failure, and you need to explain it......"

Corot fell prostrate on the ground, crying silently, "I willingly accept the punishment. ”

He gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to suffer a hundred lashes!" "Flogging and torture within the Bane Church were carried out with special torture instruments. The amount of a hundred lashes is already his limit.

"Good!" Edward nodded in satisfaction, "Come with me to the Lord and tell me what you have seen and heard during this experience, but you have to make sure that what you say is true." ”

Corot followed Edward out of the secret room, his back was completely soaked, just now, life and death were on the line, he knew that the legendary realm really wanted to kill him, he had no chance to react, so when Edward was angry, his heart had actually calmed down, on the contrary, the previous time when he did not show joy and sorrow made him suffer deeply.

……

After returning to the palace, the maid was surprised to find that the little princess Helway seemed to be a different person......

The mountains of knightly novels have not been read for a long time, and the pranks that were essential every day are gone. Every day, I just read books, practice spells, and occasionally recite poems.

They were both surprised and delighted by this change.

After all the homework for the day, Helway stretched, and it was easier than she thought to accept this knowledge. The profession of bard helped her to better appreciate the suffering of the people. This long-sleeved profession has greatly exercised her political ability, and she can't help but sigh that artists and politicians really have something in common.

"Teacher, what are you doing in a daze?" Helway asked curiously, Erica's reaction was not normal, and from the beginning of reading the book to the end, Erica's posture had not changed.

"Nothing." Erica reacted immediately, she skillfully picked up the tea, hiding the panic in her heart, intentionally or unintentionally changing the topic, "What did you read today?" ”

"The Origin and Evolution of the Mage." Helway replied seriously, she was meticulous when it came to studying. "Through this description, I found a very interesting phenomenon."

"In some planes, the light of the goddess of magic is difficult to reach, and naturally there is no magic net there. But the magical civilization there is thriving......"

"So that's it." Erica nodded, she had already entered the legend, which could naturally explain this phenomenon, "The so-called magic net is just a setting to assist in spellcasting. When you enter the legend, you will understand this. ”

Helway found that this opened a new door for her, and couldn't help but ask, "What is the real source of the mage's power?" ”

"Learned and spiritual." Erica replied in the affirmative, "So innovation and truth are our lifelong pursuits!" ”

Erica said this, and she was also helpless in her heart, she was a cadre of the Santarin Society, but there were many factions in the Santarin Society, and her views from the perspective of a mage could not be agreed with by everyone.

Helway's eyes lit up, she had a new research topic tomorrow, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Erica.

"Your brother has gone to the front and captured the Murtil Harbor...... "Erica said hesitantly, "I hope you can help me deliver a message to him." ”

"Just tell him that, no matter what, put business first, and try to tolerate some of the temple's actions."

"Then why don't you deliver this message yourself?" Helway asked, puzzled.

Erica shook her head and explained, "I'm just an outsider after all, and I'm not as close as you brother and sister. "She is a cadre of the Santalin Society, and not many people know about the love affair with Jones.

Helway agreed, "Okay then. ”

She didn't pay much attention to the news of the Empire's attack on the Federation, but suddenly found that the army was about to hit the Emerald City. A figure flashed in his heart, and he wondered if he was still in that city at the moment. If they hadn't left, safety would have been a problem, but there was an agreement between them to explore the Dragon's Lair.

Helway pursed her lips and didn't think about it, if she couldn't ensure her safety in this situation, it wouldn't be worth her feelings.

Come to think of it, she had attached a short text at the end of the message she was sending to Erica. It probably means that her brother should pay attention not to hurt this man who knows martial arts, can cast spells, and is called Buck. At the end, a portrait was drawn. As a qualified bard, drawing and the like are essential skills.
