"I'm afraid that's exactly what happened, my lordship, the Earl." Finn looked into the eyes of Count Drew and said, "The Dark Alliance's eyes are on the land we live on, and they may bring us another formidable adversary. ”

"Another opponent?" Priest Mercas's expression froze, "Warrior Fein, what do you want to say?" Are our enemies not just the undead? ”

The middle-aged priest focused his gaze on Finn's face, and the young paladin then turned his cheek slightly to look at him and asked, "Lord Priest, do you know about the Demon Shepherd's Sect?" ”

"Of course, those heretics." A hint of surprise flashed in the priest's eyes, as well as fanaticism, "The followers of the Demon Pasture Cult are holding evil contracts to shepherd demons, and they are in league with the demons of the Brimstone Hell and even the Bottomless Abyss, all of which are unforgivable mortal sins!" ”

At the end of his words, he subconsciously increased the intensity of his tone, giving people the feeling that he seemed to be such a jealous and hateful person in his daily life.

Within two seconds of the priest's words, the orc paladin, who had been standing beside Count Drew and Priest Mercas with three noble servants and had not spoken, suddenly realized something.

The orc paladin named Bogro frowned, then stepped forward and gently put his hand and mouth into the ear of Officer Mercas and said something.

Soon, the orc paladin whispered the words he thought of into the priest's ears, and the expression on Priest Mercas's face changed instantly, and the anxiety and worry in his heart could be clearly seen on his face.

After a while, the middle-aged priest looked at Fein with a serious expression and asked, "You mean to say that the group of cultists is in the city now?" ”

"I'm not sure, Priest." Finn replied, "But it's not unlikely... At least that's what I think. ”

"And what about the evidence? What is the basis for your assumption? Hearing the conversation between Finn and Officer McCas, Count Drew also had a shocked expression on his face, and then hurriedly followed the topic.

"Purple spot broke out in Hurenger, and this sudden plague is proof of this." The young paladin said, "On my past travels, I have seen doctors remove the hearts of demon babies from the bodies of several patients with purple spot, which proves that the cause of purple spot may be related to demons. And when it comes to demons, isn't the Shepherd cult the best medium for evil creatures to invade the surface world from the Brimstone Hell? ”

As the words fell, he calmly raised his eyes and looked at the priest and the earl in front of him, who were lost in thought, and no longer spoke, but waited patiently for their reply.

Purple spots were born from the heart of the Demon Child, a secret that was not a secret to him, and at this time of the day was not known to the clergy of the Church or to the world living in peace before the Cataclysm.

Rather than making the priest and the count in front of him doubt his over-convinced words, Finn did not tell Priest McCasse and Count Drew all the game information he knew in his previous life, but revealed the facts he knew in a deferential way as he had just done.

After about ten seconds, Priest McCasse took a step out of his thoughts before Count Drew back to reality.

The middle-aged priest raised his head and sighed sadly, then turned to the Count beside him and proposed, "Lord Earl, if the Finn warriors did not lie to us, then the threat we have to face is indeed not optimistic. ”

"So, what was your decision?" Count Drew looked at the former, "Please tell me what you think, the current administrator of the Cathedral of Tiamagos. As a noble lord of Hurenger, I think it is necessary for me to listen to your thoughtful opinion. ”

"My advice is not to startle the snake." "After all, even if the people of the Dark Alliance and the Demon Shepherd Cult are really lurking around us, our enemies are in the shadows at this time, and we still have too little initiative. ”

"But...... "the young Count clenched his fists," should not be a reason for us to be timid. ”

"And that shouldn't be an incentive for us to act recklessly." The priest looked into the earl's eyes and added.

Count Drew's eyes revealed a look of unwillingness. Compared with those old politicians who have been rolling in the political whirlpool for many years, Count Drew is only in his thirties, and he is still too young in the circle of nobles, so he still retains a lot of impulsiveness and blood in his body.

However, Sergeant Mercasse's life experience is clearly much richer than that of Earl Drew. The middle-aged priest did not want the lord of Hurengel in front of him to act rashly, so he was determined to adhere to his steady concept, and did not hurry to exhort the latter: "Lord Earl, I can see from your daily work your love and care for Hurenger, and from your frequent visits to the church these days to inspect the epidemic, I can also see your sense of responsibility to your people. But, Honorable Lord Hurengel, your every command is at stake for the fate of this land and its harbor, and if we can find the perfect way to get through it, why should we take the risk? ”

“……”

Count Drew closed his eyes and lowered his head. Two seconds later, the two rows of teeth in his mouth clenched secretly, and then he let go of the strength of his teeth and sighed softly.

Then he raised his forehead again, and this time the two sea-blue pupils no longer showed angry feelings, but were full of compromising helplessness.

“…… You are right, wise priest. Earl Drew faced Officer McCas and said, "Then I'll go back to the castle first...... It's getting late, we'll see you tomorrow. ”

As the words fell, the young earl turned around, leaving a departing back for the people in the hall, and walked out of the main entrance of the hall with the three guards beside him.

After seeing Count Drew disappear around the corner outside the main entrance of the Great Hall, Priest McCasse also shifted his gaze to Finn, who had caught his attention in the first place.

"Thou hast been in a coma all day, brave and brave against the young man who fights evil." He spoke, "It's the second night since you came to Hurengel. I remember that there were five of you and your companions...... Well, apart from Miss Lilith, who needs to continue to rest here, I will ask the Knight of Bergro to arrange two church dormitories for you, Miss Arya, and Mr. Arroyo and Mr. Raymond, who have not yet returned, so that your accommodation problems will be solved. Is there anything else you can help with? ”

“…… Please take care of Lilith with your church pastor friends. Finn turned his head to look at the black-haired girl who was still sleeping on a single bed, and then politely asked Officer McCas, "Also, Lilith is not in good health, if there is any strange reaction on her, please let me know as soon as possible." ”

"There's no problem with that." McCas nodded, "Is there anything else you need?" ”

"Not yet." Finn smiled appreciatively at Priest McCas, "Thank you for your mercy and generosity, Priest. ”
