It took less than half a day to leave from the rock collar, going around and around, and finally Xia Er still walked back to the predetermined track with Ren Qingwu.

Farming efficiency is too low. After some weighing, Charles decided to start the plot of the Dark Keep!

Herusva is the first plot site in the true sense of the word.

Morlandale received Charles's affirmation, his vigilant eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, and he paced around the parlor with his hands in his hands, and did not give Charles an answer for a long time.

Charles understood Morandal's caution very well, smiled slightly, and leaned over with Ren Qingwu and said, "Your Excellency, let's leave first, if you think about it, you can come to the largest hotel in Hrushwa to find me." ”

Bang.

The door to the parlor opens and closes.

The room fell silent, and the half-legendary priest of Heim sighed, looked at the portrait of Heim on the wall, his face clouded for a while, and muttered to himself: "Dark Castle, Dark Castle...... Bane's church is aggressive, and if the Dark Fortress is not removed, there will be no peace in Hrushva......"

"You wonder why I didn't stay a little longer, did you?"

Standing on the steps of the entrance to the Temple of Heim, Charles tilted his head and explained to the bard, "The situation of the Heim Church in the Northern Continent is terrible, and its numbers and influence are shrinking. The Reverend Heim was the head of Hrushva, and it was remarkable that he was able to hold the city under the pressure of Sheric and the Bane church. ”

"Isn't Haim a minion of the Most High God?" Ren Qingwu was puzzled, it seemed that she had only roughly studied the background information of the 'turbulent era', and at least knew that Haim was Io's cronies.

"You've seen the information. You should know how the second generation of the goddess of magic hung up, right? Charles smiled wryly.

"The second generation of magic goddesses who were knocked to the dust and became a saint wanted to return to the divine realm by the ladder of heaven, but Haim strictly carried out the orders of the supreme god. The Goddess of Magic was blocked, and the two sides clashed and a war broke out, and the Goddess of Magic in the form of a Sage was killed by Heim without mercy. Ren Qingwu said.

"So, ah......"

Charles spread his hands, "You think how much the followers of the goddess of magic hate Haim and his church? ”

"And it's not just the goddess of magic. The churches of Bane, Ciric, and Shar are all sworn enemies of the church at Heim. To describe the plight of the Heim church in one sentence, it is that both black and white are unpleasant. When they fell, they were all a group of reliable allies who had fallen into the trap and had no help at all. ”

"In short, the Church of Heim is now in the Northern Continent. It's not even as good as some of the weaker gods. I can understand the caution of the pastor Heim. ”

The two of them first went to the largest hotel in Hrushwa to open a room, and then left the hotel to explore the city.

Ren Qingwu's backpack was already full when she brushed the cycle task, and Xia Er accompanied her to farm the lion in the desert two days ago. I've already collected some nice blue-green quality equipment. Therefore, Charles accompanied the bard and made a special trip to the city's trading house, patiently waiting for Ren Qingwu to hang up all the equipment to be sold at the trading house.

An hour later, the two returned to the inn, only to find that the inn and the surrounding area were isolated by the Temple Guards, and that the priest of Heim, Morondale, was waiting in the lobby of the inn.

"How's that, Pastor Morondale. Have you decided? Charles asked.

"I'd like to hear what your plans are first."

Morandale spoke in a serious, rigorous tone.

"In my plan, Hrushwa is the first fulcrum for the attack on the Dark Fortress." Charles said slowly. "With soldiers and priests loyal to Heim, and a leader like you, Hrushwa is fully qualified to be the most important fulcrum of this plan."

"And then?" Morandale didn't react to Charles's untraceable sycophants, and his eyes were still full of alertness.

"I will follow the trade route south, from Hrushwa to Asbrewin, and from Asbrewin to Iliaba, the 'City of a Thousand Towers', and finally to Beldask."

Charles was just a light statement about his travel route, which sounded unrelated to his plans to deal with the Dark Keep.

Morlandale frowned slightly when he heard this.

"Asbrewin's situation is similar to that of Hrushva, but they have been in trouble lately, and the red-robed cavalry are dealing with a large group of tomb robbers, and should not be able to fight against the Dark Keep."

"As for Iliaba, it's a commercial city controlled by the great merchants of Wojin, the goddess of wealth." Speaking of this, the corners of Morondale's mouth curled slightly to reveal a hint of sarcasm, "The big businessmen never pay attention to external threats, they are just showing off their wealth to each other and fighting for wealth. Don't expect any response from Iliaba Guardian, I'm afraid the Dark Keep army will be overwhelmed, and the merchants will only smile at the rule of the Santarim Guild without the slightest resistance. ”

"So, Asbrewin can still fight for it, Ilyaba you give up."

"I have to give it a try, and it just so happens that I've been in contact with the church in Woking lately." Charles smiled slightly, "If I can convince these cities to use troops against the Dark Keep, then Hrushwa will follow suit, right?" ”

"I swear to Heim!" Morondale's expression became serious, "If Your Excellency the Guardian can successfully form a coalition of rebels, Hrushwal will be one of them!" ”

Seeing off the priest of Heim, Charles stood in the empty lobby of the inn and snapped his fingers.

Mission information has been updated with a new purple campaign mission hanging from the mission panel:

"[Resistance Alliance - Initiation] (Campaign)."

[Description: The Dark Castle, a huge military fortress built by the Nexariel Empire enslaving the Elemental Elders, Santarin would become the master of the fortress, and the towns around the Sunset Mountains would always face the threat of the Dark Castle. So, you take the lead in pulling several cities in the Westlands, from Hrushwa to the harpist's headquarters of Berdask, and use your oratorical talents to make the rebel alliance as strong as possible. 】”

[Requirements: Public support (eligible) from at least 2 cities.] 】”

[Rewards: Title 'Resistance Leader' (100 achievement points), Background Specialty 'Alliance Lobbyist' (+2 verification for negotiation, bluffing, intimidation, and observance.'] 】”

"Note: This campaign mission is shareable."

The last row of words is the key, and Charles did not hesitate to share the task with Ren Qingwu.

Ren Qingwu browsed through the information, blinked his eyes and joked: "If I and you both complete the task, then who is the 'leader of the resistance'?" ”

"Isn't that nonsense?" Charles pointed to himself, "I am the initiator of the campaign mission, and you are my follower and assistant, the achievement of the 'Leader of the Resistance' is impossible, and it is not bad to be a 'Pioneer of the Resistance'." ”

Hearing this, the corners of the bard's mouth slanted slightly, as if she had calculated the priest's reaction.

"Do you want to move on to the next city?" She asked.

"Don't worry, there is no time limit for campaign missions, let's brush up all the tasks that Hruswa can take first, so that you can at least reach level 11."

Charles beckoned Ren Qingwu to sit down, and loudly greeted the waiter of the inn, who knew that the innkeeper trembled and came out of the front desk and roared to the kitchen: "Little Zack, where are you hiding, get out of here to receive distinguished guests!" ”

Then the innkeeper smiled at Charles and Ren Qingwu and said, "Wait a minute, our Riverside House Inn will definitely serve the most exquisite lunch." ”

Soon, the innkeeper's exquisite lunch was served to a yellow-skinned human teenager.

Slices of white bread coated with low-quality cheese.

Two bowls of clear soup with small pieces of chicken floating around.

There was also a plate full of steamed peas, without alcohol and meat.

Ren Qingwu frowned and glanced at the lunch on the table, then glanced at the human boy who was standing in front of the table secretly swallowing and foaming, and couldn't help but say, "It seems that the life of the residents of Hrusva is not very good......

"Herushwa is not a commercial city, strictly speaking a military fortress, but not to mention the Sunset Mountains to the east, the riverbank forests to the west are very vast, so there is no shortage of food for life." Charles was puzzled.

There was a hint of hatred in the eyes of the human boy and said: "We have a fixed hunting ground in the riverbank forest, and we also have fertile farmland on the outskirts of the city, but the Dark Fort has been harassing us, and the tentacle mountain town of the Dark Fort where the robbers, bandits and murderers there are often exiled to Hruswa to commit crimes, and now the civilians dare not leave the city!" ”

Charles glanced at the young waiter in surprise.

"Little Zach!!" The middle-aged owner of the inn stood behind the young man unconsciously, grabbed his collar and roared, "Get out!" Don't spread such rumors in my hotel! ”

"Mountainside?" Charles stared at the overreacted innkeeper, his eyes shining strangely, "Is his word true?" ”

He quietly communicated with Mayvis in Mithril Armor and used a charm spell.

The innkeeper was stunned, his expression quickly changed from anger to calm and humble, and he lowered his head and said, "Yes." The situation was even more serious, the forests and suburbs were full of dark professionals who wantonly killed people, and Hrushwula was understaffed, and Lord Morlandale could only order that civilians should not leave the city......"

"Mission is coming!"

Charles stood up and glanced at the lunch on the table, slapped a gold coin on the table, and then patted the young waiter on the shoulder, "I'll leave this food to you, don't waste it." ”

"Is that okay?" The human boy was pleasantly surprised, and secretly glanced at the boss, but when he saw the boss's calm face, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Later, Charles and Ren Qingwu went to the Temple of Heim in the center of the city again, but this time the two did not visit the temple, but stood in front of the notice board of the temple.

"1. [Bandit Clearance] (Blue): You need to kill 20 bandits in the outskirts of Hrushwa and cut off their ears to bring back as a kill token."

"2. [Patrol the Forest] (Blue): Two days ago, a group of murderers went into exile in the northeast corner of the riverbank forest, killing the hunters of Hrushwa, and a small mercenary group that believed in Heim also disappeared in this area, if you are brave enough, please patrol the forest for the Temple of Heim and destroy the den where the murderers are hiding."

"3. [Red Robe Sermon Merchant Group] (purple) ......" (To be continued.) )
