At this time, in a luxurious tower.

Iliaba's Grand Merchant, Mandel, stands in the lobby at the top of the tower, nervously whispering to a player in a black cloak.

"Lord Lone Demon, I have already followed your instructions, and I have bribed the captain of the garrison of the town hall and a high-ranking priest of the Temple of Fortune, and they are both willing to continue working for us." Mandel Road, a big businessman.

"Bane will remember your exploits."

The player 'Lone Demon', whose face was covered with a black metal skull mask, said lightly in a tone that did not fluctuate in the slightest: "The most elite scouts of the Santarin Society are already following them, and there will be information back in a while...... It's funny, I didn't expect to meet an old friend I haven't seen for a long time, I heard that he has recently built the territory well, and you can hear related discussions every day, hey......"

Mandel, a famous businessman in Iliaba, didn't dare to take a few more breaths in front of this player.

Mandel knew very well that, on the surface, Eliaba was still controlled by the Woking Church, and the big businessmen were still engaged in extravagant tower competitions, but in fact, the dark tentacles of the Santarin Society had long since infiltrated all corners of Eliaba.

Now there is only one opportunity left, the head of the city will change the banner of the king, and Iliaba will be able to echo with the Dark Keep, completely consolidating the sphere of influence of the Santarim Society in the Westearth region, and no longer fear the harpist organization in this region.

Except for the important members of the Santarin Society, I am afraid that outsiders will never know that this strategic task related to the expansion and conquest of the Santarin Society is actually led by a Holy Presence and holds all the right to speak. The other day, Mandel had seen a priest of Bane bow his head before the Lonely Demon, the Holy Presence.

The priest. He is the leader of the Santarin Guild in the 'Green Fields' area. Mandel dared to say that he had not admitted his mistake. Several chambers of commerce under his command must pass through the 'trader's road' and several other trade routes, and they must be allowed by the Santarin Society, otherwise the chamber of commerce convoy may be bloodied by the wilderness monsters that suddenly appear on the vast trade road at any time.

Mandel has seen too many such examples. It was with the wings of the Santarin Society that he gradually rose to prominence in Iliaba and succeeded in becoming a city councilor.

Mandel believes that more than half of the members of the city council of Iliaba are serving the Santarim Society.

"Bang"

The windows of the tower were opened. Mandel perked up and looked at the player who had grabbed a carrier pigeon, Lone Demon.

"Interesting, giving relief to the poor in the slums. Why does that guy have such idle time......" The lone demon took out the information book and looked at the first few lines, and couldn't help but laugh, but continued to look down. He gradually stopped laughing.

"Angelina, the paladin of Adas, messing with him?"

The Lone Demon frowned.

The situation in the lower areas of Iliaba is very strange, the city does not have the temple of Losanda or the temple of Ilmat, and the temple of most of the good gods is deliberately excluded by the Santarim Society. It has gradually faded out of the urban circle.

But the church of Edas, the goddess of peace, is in a city that is filled with the stench of copper and the conspiracy of the Tarin. Tenaciously surviving and spreading its influence in the lower and middle areas of the city, the Edas Church has now gained the recognition and trust of almost all ordinary people.

On the contrary, the Woking Church, which dominates the city, is faintly ostracized and disgusted by ordinary residents. Of course, this has something to do with the deliberate propaganda of the Santarin. After all, if you don't pour dirty water on the Woking Church, how will Santallinn justifiably take over the city in the future?

It was because of the terrible influence of the Church of Edas among the people of Iliaba that the 'Lone Demon' saw his old friend mingling with the paladin of Idath. Subconsciously, I felt that it was not good, and I felt a sense of danger in my heart.

"Lord Mandel. There is something very important that you need to do for the church right now. ”

The 'Lone Demon' had a cold look in his eyes and said, "I remember that you hired several powerful exemplary professionals, and even a half-hero, right?" ”

"Yes."

Mandel hurried to be. In the vast dark intelligence network of the Santarin Society, there are no secrets at all about him.

"Very good, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, you have spent a lot of money to hire so many high-level professionals, and it is time for them to move their muscles." The corners of the Lone Demon's mouth flashed with a cold killing intent, "I will send a notice to the councillors in charge of security in Iliaba through the internal communication channels of the church, so that they can ignore the brawls in the lower areas. ”

"Your people are free to do as they please, and I have only one request - to kill the priests, warriors, and bards of our church's scout markers."

"If you can, kill Angelina's stupid woman too, she's too much of a nuisance, more disgusting than her mentor, and I have a hunch that she's going to be a stumbling block for our church to get around."

Mandela, the great merchant, nodded, turned around and left the hall at the top of the tower through the refined magic ladder inside the tower.

When only the lone demon was left in the hall, the god of Bane pulled off his hood, removed the mask on his face, and reflected it on the colorful glass windows of the tower, a neutral face that could be described as "beautiful".

But if you look closely, you will see that the "female" player's Adam's apple is more obvious.

……

Lower area.

"Thank you for the kindness and beauty of Lady Adas!"

"Praise Adath!"

"Miss Angelina, thank you, if it weren't for you, we would have had to leave our homeland away from Iliaba."

Charles, Qianfan, and Ren Qingwu, following the paladin Angelina, made their way through the blocks of the lower districts, flanked by low, dilapidated dwellings, with a stinking pile of horse manure on the ground, and many dust particles mixed in the turbid air.

Now the three of them are like Angelina's helpers, holding dimensional bags, and every time Angelina knocks on the door of a house, the three of them take out food and coins and stuff them into the hands of the people.

Though it was only a few white breads and silver coins, everyone knelt down and kissed Angelina's dusty boots with great gratitude, and muttered words of praise that made their ears calloused.

In the past, this kind of injustice of scattering wealth must have been Shire alone. However, this time, the Luskan warrior Qianfan got on the thief ship, and in the midst of the charre's coaxing and deceptive verbal offensive, he finally took out 1,000 gold coins as sponsorship funds. Charles himself took out the same amount of gold coins, and went to the big bazaar in the middle area with Angelina to buy, and they all filled the dimensional bags on their bodies.

Fortunately, such a scattered wealth is not without gain.

Dusk is coming.

The trio and Angelina finished their work and stood in the plaza of the lower area, everyone smiling.

Angelina smiled with satisfaction and joy, holding the emblem and bowing her head slightly. Facing the statue of Idas in the open-air fountain in the center of the square, his mouth kept telling something.

The laughter of Charles, Qianfan and Ren Qingwu stems from a good harvest this afternoon.

"Your reputation in the 'Iliaba' region has been raised to [Respect]."

"Your Church of Edas reputation has been raised to Friendliness."

"The achievement [of Iliaba's generosity] has been obtained."

Although he didn't gain experience points, Charles helped the paladin Angelina achieve his goal.

The prestige of the city is the most obvious thing. Especially when it comes to the [Respect] stage, there will be an endless stream of NPCs who walk on the city streets and nod or bow to the player.

What the Charr lack now is influence in Iliaba.

He was sure that he would be warmly welcomed if he visited the town hall and the Woking Temple again tomorrow.

"There's a rally ahead!"

Angelina suddenly spoke up.

"Huh......"

Xia Er, Qian Fan and Ren Qingwu looked at it when they heard it.

Behind the open-air fountain stood a dozen people. Everyone is in civilian attire. It was as if they had an argument, and an emotional man even grabbed someone by the collar and waved his fist as if he was about to use violence.

"Stop!" Angelina hurriedly walked over, "You can't do this in front of Idath's fountain!" ”

In addition to peace, Adas's priesthood also has pools, springs, etc.

Therefore, in front of the fountain where the statue of Adas is erected, it is against the teachings, and it is for the holy warriors of the other gods. Properly drew the sword directly.

Angelina is still too young.

"That's not right!"

The next moment, Charles, Qianfan and Ren Qingwu. Smelled bad from the reactions of those dozen people.

When these people saw a god's holy warrior, they did not disperse in a hurry, but on the contrary, the angry citizen who had been angry before suddenly put his hand into his arms, and his clothes were shining with silver stars.

"Be careful—" shouted Charles, "he's got a crossbow hidden in his clothes!" ”

But by this time it was clearly too late.

Angelina wore armor but no weapon or shield, and the Assassin prepared to shoot an armor-piercing crossbow arrow, which was so poisonous that it stabbed into the body of the maiden paladin with a single bite.

"You ......" Angelina's eyes widened in disbelief, the assassin's tactics were extremely spicy, and an arrow was shot at her chest.

Thick black blood dripped down the arrows and fell to the ground.

The Maiden Paladin will not die violently, after all, he is a priest and has a tenacious life like Xiaoqiang.

Angelina stepped backwards and crashed into Charles's arms, who had come up to support her. Just when the aboriginal girl was confused and desperate, a quiet voice came from her ear: "Holy healing, use your holy healing ability!" ”

A flash of lightning suddenly swept through the girl's confused mind.

Right!

She also has the ability to heal!

The girl paladin, who hadn't fought for a long time, had obviously forgotten her professional ability, and only reacted after being reminded by Charles, and the white palm that touched the arrow wound suddenly flashed with divine light.

Her health is recovering quickly, but the crossbow is highly poisonous, and the [Holy Healing] has no antidote effect. Angelina seemed to be stimulated, her little head was much brighter, and she took out the emblem of Edas herself, chanting the magic spell smoothly.

"[Neutralize Toxicity] (Four Rings!) ）”

The maiden paladin was instead surrounded by a soft glow of magic.

"it!" Seeing Angelina use a four-ring magic on herself, Qian Fan exclaimed behind her, "The highest magic that a holy warrior can cast is the four rings, right?" It seems that only the Holy Samurai of the hero rank can unlock the fourth layer of the magic net......"

His gaze at the Adas Paladin grew stranger. (To be continued.) )
