Chapter 652: Ingrid's Fury
Call.
Standing in the doorway, listening to the music coming from inside, Charles finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Charles, I can't see it." Mavis came back to life, sending a teasing thought, "I think you should follow the guidance of that lady priestess, let go of your body and mind, enjoy yourself at the banquet, and release your stress." β
"I don't think the reason why I can't walk in front of me must be that woman cast a charm spell on me!" Charles is serious.
"Hehe, you are a god, a pious prayer, unless it is a legendary level of charm spells, or divine power charm, it is impossible to quietly affect your mind." The silver dragon ruthlessly exposes the Shire's lies.
"I'm afraid I'll indulge in it if I open it." Charles was speechless.
"What are you worried about, Chenny's church has no interest in intrigue politics, they don't seek any influence, just indulge in it and visit it often, and I think the priestess will welcome you too." Mavis chuckled.
"Haven't you heard that the official Arabe has a laissez-faire attitude towards the activities of the Chenie Church? If Shannie was a conspirator, then she would have let her followers weave a huge network of power by relying on beauty, but unfortunately Shannie's priesthood has a good side, and the priesthood restricts her. β
"You're right."
Charles had to admit that Mavis had an eye.
For example, the 'Feast of Love' that is going on in the Garden of Eternal Love, which may be a very inconspicuous event in a year, still gathers seventy or eighty percent of the high-class nobles of Arabe, and even military attachΓ©s who control the army.
If Shanny were careerists like Sha'er, Bane, and Ciric. Then the situation on the mainland will certainly be a different one.
After all, when it comes to strength, Shanni is also a member of the [Powerful Divine Power].
But unfortunately, the believers of Shinee are aesthetes and hedonists. Only the lack of careerists and conspirators, coupled with the loose structure of the Shini Church itself, whether the leader can be promoted is based on appearance rather than ability, so it is not difficult to see that this church is destined to have little influence.
The high-ranking female priest who kept inviting Charles just now was very likely to be the priest of the Shuni Church in Arabe, and the beauty of the quaint and elegant classics overshadowed the Ren Qingwu of Qing Shui Furong. It's no wonder that Charles can't walk.
"At the second meeting of the gods, Ms. Shannie did not abstain, but voted against me." Charles's words silenced the silver dragon Maywes.
"No wonder......," Mavis suddenly realized. No wonder you didn't dare touch her priest, who may have received an oracle to approach you and pull you into her camp? β
"Don't talk about that."
Charles talked to Mavis but was a little cold to Ren Qingwu, who was following him.
He touched his stomach and smiled bitterly: "If you don't eat again, you will be satiety again." I'm going to starve to death. β
"I'm calling Leah back. She set up shop in Arabe's living quarter. Ren Qingwu said with a serious face, and always grabbed one of his arms, as if he was afraid that Xia Er would turn his head and return to that absurd banquet.
Leah is an expert chef who has recently put Nodashiel's life system in order.
The team pays to fund the skills of the contracted life players, but the props produced by these life players will naturally be all handed over to the team for sale, and then divided into fifty or fifty.
Leah had reported to him a few days ago that Nodashir had no shortage of contacts in Arabe. Soon rented a single-family three-story shop in a busy neighborhood, and Leah has been focusing on store construction these days. It's impossible for Charles to recall Ria back to cook for the sake of his own stomach.
So, Charles nibbled on dry food and jerky that night and went off the assembly line early.
The next day.
In the flow of people in the morning market of Rock Ling, there was an extra pair of men and women who were somewhat intimate.
Ms. Shini's 'Banquet of Love' seems to have dispelled the sense of strangeness and estrangement in the hearts of the two. Ren Qingwu may also have realized that Charles knew her identity, but the two of them still have a tacit understanding to stay as they are, and neither of them has opened the layer of window paper.
"The scale of this morning market is comparable to that of some small cities." Ren Qingwu exclaimed in the flow of people.
The charr are also very pleased with the progress of the construction of the territory.
Looking at the territory panel data, there are now more than 3,000 NPC residents in the Rock Territory, which is almost half the same as the player. The 3,000 players of the 'Rock Leader' Guild are based in the new city and are constantly clearing the outskirts of monsters.
The thousand-strong army of Longyan and Wingwind has advanced to the tail end of the Sunset Mountains, intending to establish a permanent military fortress on the border of the desert and the mountains.
The Six-Pointed Star Fortress was guarded by Zhang Ze and An Ying themselves, and most of the players of the 'Emerald Sword' were now gathered there, gradually exploring the Storm Horn Mountains.
Qi Guangming took the people of the Galaxy Club to open up the Thun Swamp, but it seemed that he had encountered some trouble, and no information had been transmitted back for a long time.
"Buy another batch of orc slaves from Milman, and maybe you can start dredging the Thun River and build an inland river route to Dragon Lake." Charles was thinking about it, and he wanted to promote the prosperity of his territory.
The two were visiting the morning market when the crowd suddenly rioted without warning.
"Stop!"
"Catch them!"
A group of armed knights of the territory, rampaging through the morning market, two thieves in cloaks and masks, wandering around in the flow of people, the knights in heavy armor were exhausted and out of breath, and the thieves, as if laughing at these hulking warriors, stood on the roof, stared coldly at the rioting crowd, and did not flee immediately.
"Damn it!" Pansy, the captain of the knights, shouted, "Lord Yufe has an order, for every shadow thief captured, you will get a thousand gold coins and ten acres of newly cultivated land!" β
At this moment, the knights of the territory beat the shadow thieves on the roof one by one.
"Hehe......"
A female shadow thief let out a low laugh and said disdainfully, "Just because you want to catch the shadow thief too? Accept our existence. No city can say no to the Shadow Thief. β
"Otherwise, you will have to suffer even more terrible revenge from the shadow thieves!"
The words of the female shadow thief made the rioting morning market even more chaotic.
"Let's goβ" The male companion beckoned to the female shadow thief, but as soon as the female shadow thief turned around, a flaming arrow was fired at her.
Rumble. The female shadow thief between the electric light and the stone and fire actually made a dodge move, but unfortunately the flame arrow exploded before it could hit her, and the house where the two shadow thieves were standing was suddenly engulfed in flames.
Moments later, Pansy, the captain of the Knights, and his men dragged out two twisted corpses from the ruins of the dwelling.
"Your Lord!"
Pansy led a team of knights and lined up neatly in front of Charles and Ren Qingwu. The knight captain bowed his head and saluted, unable to hide the excitement on his face.
"You're finally back, and the rats are coming to an end!"
Around the ruins of the house, the frightened crowd pointed at Pansy and Charles, especially the one-handed light crossbow that Charr held in his hand and glowed crimson, which became the focus of discussion.
"What's going on?" Charles muttered.
The morning market is the beginning of the day, and the shadow thief is disrupting the economy of the territory.
"That's right......" Pansy recounted the incident.
"They attacked my temple yesterday?!"
There was anger in Charles' eyes.
The temple was a key point in his future career plans, and if it were destroyed, it would take at least a month to rebuild it.
"Go back to the Lord's Mansion first!" Charles didn't have the leisure to hang out, and hurried to the hinterland of the city with Ren Qingwu.
In the crowd, an ordinary-looking newcomer looked in the direction Charles had left, his eyes flashing with a cold glint.
"It's him!"
"He actually erased the restrictions on the use of that holy artifact!"
The leader of the shadow thieves thought in disbelief.
"Relic - Flame Thrower!" The half-heroic shadow thief's heart then became hot, and greed-desire was eroding his reason, "If I can get this holy relic, I can immediately become a true hero, and I have the possibility to challenge the half-legendary professional!" β
As his mind turned, the leader of the shadow thieves couldn't control his excitement.
"In this territory, there are only two heroes worth noting, one is the berserker Salin, who poses no threat to me."
"Another, Drow Sorcerer, I want to be careful with her curse spells. Wait, in two days, I'm going back to make a detailed arrangement! β
Temple of Knowledge.
Salin, Yufed, Ren Qingwu, and Antinoya stood outside the temple gate, and could only faintly hear the sound of conversation coming from inside.
"Pastor Charles, why do you have the smell of that woman in you?"
The first words of the Lich Oracle's words made Ingrid freeze Charles' face.
"You're not going to be to Chenny's party, are you?" Ingrid surrounded Charles, sniffing him constantly, "Sure enough...... You can't go wrong with this ridiculous taste! You've been having an affair with a priest of a lady lately! β
Ingrid was like discovering her cheating husband, her reaction was much more fierce than Ren Qingwu's, there was a tendency to go berserk, and her voice was sharp: "Yeyao said, the betrayer, there is only one end, he was made into an immortal puppet, and he crawled under my lord's throne day and night licking her feet and repented!" β
"Don't have a convulsion."
The corners of Charles's mouth twitched, and he spread his hand and said, "What a betrayer, I have never followed Ye Yao, how can I betray it." Besides, I'm a believer in Ogmar and I'm not a Puritans, so it's nice to go out and let off steam. β
His casual words simply added fuel to the fire, and Ingrid immediately brought her delicate face closer, leaned her cold forehead against his forehead, and stared at him with her ice-blue pupils.
After a while, the lich's anger suddenly disappeared, and a smile gradually appeared in her pupils.
"You've taken control of yourself, Reverend Charles." Ingrid took a small step back and straightened his white robe, "I only smell the familiar smell of perfume, but not bodily fluids, which means that things are not too bad." β
"I know your intentions, as an atonement for my anger earlier, I will personally help you find out that group of shadow thieves and ensure that none of them are missed!" (To be continued.) )
