Chapter Seventy-Three: Qualified Stalkers

This year's birthday of San Antonio was particularly deserted for the church. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The commemoration of the Saint's birthday is a custom that has been formed in the Half-Moon Alliance for a long time, and legend has it that Saint Antonio preached in the west and south of the Half-Moon Alliance a long time ago, so that the power of the Holy Light could be spread to every corner of the Alliance.

However, such commemorative ceremonies are not very popular among the Light Races in other countries, because although San Antonio has entered the level of the gods, he is still a physical existence. Most of the Light races are reluctant to commemorate physical objects with rituals, so they believe in the Light and give thanks to the Holy Spirit, but they do not like to commemorate the Holy Spirit in a certain way.

And the Half Moon Alliance is definitely an exception in this regard. This kind of commemoration ceremony, which has a somewhat funny flavor in the eyes of the bright races of other countries, should be solemn and meticulous, but this year, due to changes, the commemoration ceremony has become an extension of the previous farce.

When people from other parts of the Principality come to Ontario and see that the church that should have stood tall has become a pile of rubble, they may feel more than just disappointment. Moreover, unfavorable remarks against the Templar had spread throughout Ontario and throughout the Principality, adding to the distrust of the faithful towards the high-ranking clergy of Ontareth.

The worship service was held next to a small church on the edge of the city of Ontario, and in addition to the local clergy of Ontar, there were bishops, priests, and paladins from all regions of Finir. Because they had greeted in advance, there weren't many clergy from other places this time, but even so, the vicinity of the small chapel was crowded with worshippers.

"Damn, when does this ghost ritual start? I'm going to faint from the heat. ”

The complaint was a paladin squire who would be in charge of security in the vicinity of the Chapel all day today. The so-called acolytes are logically similar to apprentices, but it is clear that the things that the Templars give them are more than just apprentices. This would never happen to the "knightly squires" of the principality, who were mostly children of nobles.

Now, looking at the crowded crowd in front of them, the paladin squires who were already hot but preferred to be fully dressed complained about it. For the first time as a race of light, they felt how precious darkness was, the bright light stabbing their eyes, and the heat of the sun burned their metal armor and swords like soldering irons.

Even the girls who didn't pray to the Holy Spirit just to come over and catch a glimpse of the glorious paladins couldn't help but laugh when they saw these sweaty heroes, probably thinking that this was really stupid.

The really stupid things don't stop there, though.

In the best seats in front of the small chapel, in addition to the representatives of the Bright Race sent by each city, there were two women, one fat and one thin.

Compared to the men next to them, who were either dressed in robes or armor, Alice and Anne's casual attire was a little strange, so much so that they attracted a lot of attention throughout the commemoration ceremony. The priest and an elegant paladin, who sat beside them, were respectful when they learned that they were distinguished guests from afar, and that one of them was a nobleman.

As spies, the two were undoubtedly very successful. Even Pierger suspected that even if Anne had not voluntarily revealed her identity, even if she had been sitting in the bishop's seat, no one would necessarily find out that she was a night race, because after all, with the abilities of these clergy in the Duchy of Finir, they were not strong enough to allow Anne to reveal her true identity.

"I'm sorry for everything you saw in Ontareu." The priest next to Anne whispered, "Actually, we suspect that Bishop Harvey is also puzzled by what happened before, because before this incident, we had rarely had such a large-scale conflict with the Night Race, and their attack this time was completely sudden. ”

Anne showed her graceful demeanor as a noble lady, bowed slightly to the old priest in respect, and then said without losing her wit: "The Duchy of Finel is worthy of learning from any nation in the way it keeps peace, but I think it is dangerous at all times and in any place to forget the threat because of tranquility." ”

The priest didn't expect this seemingly weak girl to speak so sharply, and he didn't know how to respond for a while, but nodded mechanically.

But then Anne seemed to give him a step down, but in fact she said with ulterior motives: "But I heard that Bishop Harvey is actually quite good at dealing with the Night Race, although we let them take advantage of it because of our negligence at the beginning, and there are still many opportunities for revenge. I wonder if the Bishop has communicated with you about this? ”

Originally, Anne planned to take this opportunity to see if she could get some information about the plans of the Templar, but before she could ask this, the old priest's face became more and more embarrassed, and he shook his head a little dejectedly: "Actually, I will soon leave the priesthood, and now I will leave all the affairs in the city to the other priests, and I haven't heard anything about them recently." ”

Anne nodded in understanding. It was clear that this was an old guy who had already stepped out of the circle of power in the Templars with half a foot, and even the power had been hollowed out, and all the news that had been passed from Ontario had not been told.

Anne was not disappointed by this. If the Templar really had a strict plan, it would not be easily leaked.

She turned her head to look at Pigg's location, only to find that the vicious dog didn't know when it had left.

As a competent spy, you certainly won't be satisfied with staying in the same location to get information. Unlike Anne, he appears in front of everyone in the form of a vicious dog in most cases, and he doesn't have to worry about being found out by others and becoming suspicious, because no one thinks that a dog can understand complex information, let alone that a dog can spread information.

Just like at this point, when Pyrger was about to get closer to a few of the guys in the First Templar of Ontariel, he saw a young paladin attendant sneaking towards the back of the small templar.

The vicious dog was wondering if he should go with him, and inadvertently noticed that a holy woman in a black hat in the crowd had come to a corner of the temple, looked left and right for a while, and walked in the direction where the paladin attendant had left.

In this way, Piger felt that he had to go over and take a look.
