"No, I just rejected the greedy ......"

After speaking, Leo nodded, no longer gave Ilya a chance to speak, and turned around and left directly, as for the church's thoughts and whether there is a follow-up? Whatever, as the Duke of Lancaster said before, they don't have the courage to do anything in the imperial capital now

As for returning to the Northern Territory? Oh, don't forget, on Leo's system construction list, there is still an option for a church......

Somewhat moved, he first apologized to the duke who was still waiting for him, and Leo comforted the worried Elena a little across the carriage, and then rode on the horse with Auston, and after bidding farewell to the duke and his party, he returned to the marquis's palace under the escort of many knights

Following the team of Leo and the others who were moving away, Ilya stood in place with his hands behind his back and did not speak for a long time, the expression on his face made people not look happy and angry, and after a while, Ioris couldn't help but come over and asked him in a low voice

"My lord, that's it? To know the power of gemstones......"

Glaring at each other, Ilya was really a little angry, "Aioris, I don't want to remind you again that restraint and caution are the foundation of our survival!" ”

Glancing at the somewhat stunned Templar Commander, he couldn't say it too harshly, so he thought about it and said comfortably

"I know that you are desperate for strength, rest your heart my friend, that one day everything that Leo has will become our property, and then, no matter what, a dragon's tear will be entirely yours and the Church will not forget your contribution and loyalty......"

"As for now, it is not yet time, and when all the arrangements are completed, the arrogant people who dare to refuse the good intentions of the church will pay the price for what is happening today...... Take care of you and your men, don't provoke Leo and the people around him for the time being, let them be proud for a little longer! ”

Nodding, Eoris personally put Elijah in the carriage, turned over and rode on his horse, and followed his men on both sides, and as he marched slowly, his thoughts returned to that time......

**********************

"Captain, this is all the way things have happened, and I haven't hidden any details!" Griffin said respectfully

Holding his shoulders, Aioris walked in place for a few laps and reconfirmed with some dissatisfaction

"Griffin, do you mean a baron close to the Northern Lord, who first gave you a warm welcome as you passed through his castle on your mission, and then at the banquet this devout believer, out of respect for His Holiness the Pope, commissioned you to ...... Well, what is the name of the jewel of the dragon's tears dedicated to His Majesty? ”

"Yes, my lord, I admire your memory!"

Ignoring the men's praise, Eoris continued to ask, "And on the way back, you met several mysterious strange knights in black robes or black armor, who suddenly attacked you without warning when they saw that you were a member of the Church, right?" ”

Hearing this, Griffin's face turned a little pale again, and he was afraid for a while when he recalled the original situation

"Yes, Captain, I remember very well, three men in black cloth robes resembling retinues, and one knight with a pure black cape and mount, and when I met them, they were tidying up a campfire at the edge of the woods, as if they had camped before......"

Subconsciously swallowing the saliva in his mouth, Griffin had fear on his face

"I didn't think much about it at the time, it was always good to meet people during a long journey, and at that time, the cold of the morning made me just want to ask them for a bowl of hot soup to warm up...... As a result, before I could speak, several people who were alarmed by the sound of horses' hooves ...... the moment they saw me Damn, those 3 entourage-like strangers were facing me, and their mouths were uttering hateful and poignant syllables, a language I wasn't familiar with......"

Speaking of which, Eoris could clearly see that Griffin's forehead and sideburns had a lot of sweat on his forehead and sideburns on a winter day

After that, while I was still wondering and trying to communicate, the knight, who had been clasped from beginning to end, rode quickly on his horse...... Yes my lord, good training for a long time saved my life, fortunately the enemy did not use a cavalry spear at that time, but after barely blocking two heavy sword attacks with a shield, I was terrified, such a terrifying power and speed, I had only felt it in you before, and I didn't even have time to draw my weapon to fight back! ”

Carefully looking up at the thoughtful commander, Griffin continued, "I am timid, this is an enemy that I absolutely cannot defeat, through a gap, I threw away my shield and rode my horse and fled desperately in the direction of the imperial capital, at that time I was already very close to the imperial capital, as long as I could meet the patrolling knights and soldiers, maybe I could get out safely......"

"But the speed of the Black Knight's mount far outpaced me, and in a few breaths or so, he easily caught up with me and circled ahead, and then ...... He drew a pitch-black spear, the cold tip of which seemed to have an aura from hell, and instantly pierced my chest, and I didn't even react"

Speaking of this, Griffin subconsciously touched his chest, and the edge of the broken armor was a little cold......

"Maybe it's my luck, until I fell unconscious, my hand subconsciously tightened the reins, and the black-armored knight probably thought that I would definitely die from such an injury, so he didn't chase after it again, after all, I said before, it's already close to the emperor......"

"From the corner of my eye, I saw him hurriedly beckoning his men to leave, and I was cold and unconscious, and at this moment, from the gem given by the baron, a warm stream spread throughout my body, which made me barely able to endure the bumps of the horses, and finally saw the walls of the imperial capital alive with the last trace of sobriety......

"As for the rest of the matter, you must already know, before falling into a complete coma, I met our people and finally sent me here, and you told me that it was this gem that saved my life, praise the Most High God, and this must be the reward of my usual piety!"

With a sigh of relief, Griffin finished speaking

Aeolis nodded, and it was clear from the two accounts that Griffin was not lying, otherwise he would not have been able to tell the details exactly the same every time, and patted the other person on the shoulder comfortingly

"Well, do you feel anything strange about your body now?"

After feeling it carefully, Griffin scratched his head and said with some uncertainty, "It does feel a little different, I don't know if it's an illusion, I feel that I have inexhaustible strength in my body now, and it seems that my body is much lighter......"

"Huh?"

Aioris, who asked casually, suddenly remembered that before, when Griffin had just woken up, he subconsciously kicked himself out of the air with a volley, if that's the case? Aioris's eyes flashed with excitement, and he suddenly commanded the others

"Give him a longsword, Griffin, I need you to engage me in a fight so I can confirm if I'm right!"

……

Twenty minutes later, Griffin looked at the broken armor on Aioris's shoulder, the long sword in his hand was neither thrown nor thrown, the majesty of the regimental commander for a long time made his legs and stomach tremble a little, if the previous time it could be said to be an accident, this time it was really impossible to explain

However, to his surprise, Aeoris did not anger and punish him, but kept looking at him with strange eyes, and laughed wildly out loud

"Hahaha, okay, great, Griffin, your strength and speed have increased at least twice, and the flexibility and other aspects of your body have been significantly improved, come with me, I need to take you to meet His Majesty the Pope in person, he will definitely want to know more about this gem......"

**********************

The clatter of horses' hooves on the pavement was heard far away in the silent night, and Aeolis, who had come to his senses from his recollection, looked admiringly at the position of the carriage, and it was none other than the Venerable Cardinal Elijah, who, after the incident, immediately ordered the prisoner of Griffin

At the same time, he persuaded His Majesty the Pope to start a secret and detailed investigation, so that the church quickly collected a lot of information about the Dragon's Tear Gem, and also preliminarily concluded that Leo was the real owner of the gem

Thinking of the maddening power of the time, the corners of the Templar Commander's mouth inadvertently brought out endless hideousness and greed......
