Watching the dozen or so people gather in a small group and walk slowly towards this side, talking something along the way, Roland couldn't hear what they were talking about at all.

Even if it's only a few dozen meters away, it's through a closed window after all. The noise outside filtered through a layer and then came in, and it was already blurred. Even with Roland's extraordinary perception, he could only hear their hearty laughter.

Roland glanced at it and knew that the emblems on those knights were from different gods.

For example, the most conspicuous blonde youth in the middle of the crowd was the Templar of Tyre, and the smaller man huddled with him was the Knight of Koranvo. As for the green-haired girl in thin silver armor, Roland didn't even need to look at the emblem to know that she was a Templar of the goddess of life.

The rest of the knights were partially blocked by each other, but Roland could see a little bit of the emblem through their staggered bodies as they walked. With Roland's knowledge of the gods, knowing a little bit is enough to judge where they belong.

There were eleven Templars in total. Except for the knights who did not have Enzos and El Sax, the other gods who participated in the battle of the White Tower were basically all there.

If it had been a month ago, they would have gathered together only to quarrel and fight. Even the best-case scenario is to get into a cold war, distancing yourself from the other gods and knights. How can it be as close as a family like now.

In that respect, they should really be grateful to the White Tower Wizard.

But that's why Roland wondered what they were talking about—how could a group of Templars who didn't leave their presiding god get together, and how they didn't fight?

Roland thought maliciously.

…… It would be nice if Elukado was here.

With her stealth ability, she could get up close and listen to what they were saying.

Come to think of it. Roland couldn't help but sigh.

After the original campaign against Tyre ended, Roland was directly separated from Scott and the three of them.

Esther takes Scott and the two to sign the contract. At the same time, wait for Palbchiko and Clavi to return, and then tell them about the Peace Council.

Left with Roland. There was only one person, Elukado. But after leaving the trio's field of vision, Roland immediately released Elukado and told her to find Joseph.

Roland still remembers that the money he got in the White Tower is still with Joseph.

Just in case, Roland never contacted Joseph again during his time in the White Tower. All communication is done through Elukado.

It was thanks to Elukado's ability to conceal that Roland was able to put the finishing touches on his plan.

In the previous agreement, Joseph was to transfer the huge sum of money to a place that Roland did not know, and then hide himself with him, waiting for Elukado to find him.

Elukado is now undead. But she used to be a brain-eater after all. She had memorized Joseph's taste, and with her predator's instincts, she could find him in half a month at most.

Roland reckoned that Elukado should be on his way back by now.

"Let's miss me first—"

Honar was about aware of the knights' destination, apologized to Roland, and hurried downstairs.

"Huh? Mom? ”

Little Lim looked dazed.

Condin was silent and put on his coat, and then followed.

"Good boy, come and drink some broth."

"Hmm!"

Roland smiled and touched Lim's little head, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Are you here to spend the night......

No, if all of them were to live in, it would simply push the Condin family to a dead end.

According to the teachings of the Lonely Mountain Elders. The mountain people can't say no to anyone who comes to stay overnight.

This doctrine was originally intended to protect merchants. Fararow was originally a relatively closed country, even more so hundreds of years ago. Deep in the mountains, the trade in everyday goods is in many ways dependent on the traders.

When the guests stay overnight, the mountain people will trade some goods with the guests from other places. It is precisely to protect the soil of this trade. Only then will "hospitality" be written into the teachings of the mountain people.

However, it would be a mistake to think that the hospitality of the mountain people is honest and deceitful.

The mountain people are rude to rude, but they definitely do not lack the small wisdom of the countrymen. In the perennial struggle with wild beasts, the fight against bad weather and bandits. The children of the mountain people mature much earlier than some foreign children.

In a country where a child of seven or eight years old has to think about how to kill a life, if deceived by the teachings and honest words and deeds of the mountain people. If you treat them as honest people, sooner or later you will have to fold in their hands.

One thing to note here: The doctrine has evolved to this day, and the concepts of "lodging person" and "guest" have been separated.

For the mountain people, it is the host who offers the food to serve the guests - which is why Roland says "the sincerity of the sight" when he sees the bowl of broth in front of him.

For their guests, the mountain people not only cannot take the initiative to evict them, but even have to shelter them as much as possible.

The purpose of the Templars was clear at a glance - it was impossible for them to make it back to the temple in such freezing weather. I guess the reason why I came to Sodom now is just to stay here.

Neither Titan nor Suze would allow the Templars to live in as long as their master was not stupid.

Originally, under the cold winter, the people's life was already very difficult, and living in one person was a thin meal. Even if no one comes, so many people freeze to death and starve to death every year, and adding one more person increases the chance of death. Moreover, the Templars were all adults, and they all had a considerable amount of food, making it difficult to feed them.

And as for Caral...... That's right, under the great barrier of the druids, Karar is indeed the warmest place in winter. However, as long as the Templars were not stupid, it was impossible to spend the winter in Carral.

The White Tower is in ruins, Karar can't get through it, and Titan and Suze have a hard time communicating - the only solution is for everyone to live in Fararuo.

Roland Lou smiled meaningfully.

The reason why Anvilia left so many things in the White Tower and didn't take them with them was not to show weakness, nor to hide the existence of the Fifth Tower. The real reason is to let them pick up the softness and delay the journey home.

No need to delay. As long as it takes two days to delay, the heavy snow will be just enough to seal Titan. Suze was far colder than the south, and if the road to Titan was blocked again, the Templars would have to go to Fararu for a while.

But Fararo was surrounded on three sides by Caral. The Templars must not have been able to return to their temple from Fararu in the end. They had no choice but to return to the White Tower after the winter snow had melted, and then head south from Titan's original route.

As long as Esther takes the opportunity to lift the seal to the underground at this time, the underground creatures will pour out in one breath.

If there are too many people, there will be chaos. You can't go wrong with this rule.

In the midst of the chaos, no one will notice who actually released the underground creatures. And these Templars who were stranded here were forced to fight with these underground races.

In the dead of winter, it is impossible to have reinforcements from the outside world. These Templars are the only ones who can fight these underground races.

Whether they choose to fight to the death here until the formation collapses, or retreat in disarray and allow the underground legions to spread to Karar and then flood, it will undoubtedly deal a huge blow to the prestige and strength of the gods.

And the plague created by Roland will also be hidden under the chaos of war. If the underground creatures eventually become unmanageable, Roland will manipulate his plague to wipe them out.

It's not worth spending your energy and time dealing with the gods. After all, Roland is only one person, and no matter how busy he is, he can't be busy.

Anyway, the underground race will invade sooner or later. It's better to let them come out early.

When these Templars were destroyed, the gods would not be able to stand idly by.

【Plague Hatching Completed】

Just as Roland's voice was spoken, a line of light azure blue characters was reflected simultaneously in front of Roland's eyes.

The tip of Roland's right finger twitched slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a slight arc. (To be continued.) )
