Chapter 145: A New Situation
The mission that has come to an end has given players an extremely large stream of experience and a great deal of prestige for the Goddess of Fortune and Commerce.
Looking at the message given on the system panel, Clematis smiled: "I am also the Zhongjin pastor in the church now." It's not as transparent as it was at the beginning! ”
The interior of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce is divided into 4 levels, with the highest level being the equivalent of the Pope's Holy Coin. However, the next 'Shangjin' is a group that has the characteristics of both cardinals and archbishops. These high-ranking clergy are qualified to run for the 'Holy Coin' and are at the same time the leaders of the major dioceses.
The next 'Zhongjin' priests covered a wide range, from the chief priest of Walkerson City to the small paragon priest like Clematis. But they are all clergy who have contributed a lot to the Church and have been given certain privileges. In a sense, they are the backbone of the church. For example, if the current Klammatis is willing to apply, it is not too difficult to directly obtain the identity of the head of the Temple of Winter Springs Town.
As for the 'money', it is the basic level and authority that the official clergy in the church will receive. As for those believers who cannot become clergy and cannot enter the church system. The Goddess of Wealth and Commerce Church can only tell them that there is a barrier to entry for everything. To put it mildly, the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce Church is not accessible to everyone.
The status of the golden class and the 'golden-eyed messenger' gave Clematis the qualification not to fall behind in the face of the fluttering winged lion flag. On the contrary, it was Mr. Yodele on the side, after meeting the commander of the 'Atakosi Warband'. Immediately he ran up and saluted.
And Mr. Aragon also consciously stood behind Clematis at this time. As a smart man, he found out that Kleimatis did not take the initiative to step forward. I understand that this is the only choice that will least offend people. After all, the organizational structure and traditions of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce make it possible for no one to be out of the picture. Those guys who don't know how to judge the situation can only mix at the bottom for the rest of their lives.
And the leader of the 'Bounty Band' began to grasp his scalp and meditate after looking at Klymatis for a few moments. Because in his memory, he definitely saw that face somewhere.
Here, the 'Bloodstained Grey Flower' team and the 'Bounty Band' kept their distance in the evening sea breeze and watched each other. On the other hand, Mr. Yodl has temporarily joined the 'Atakosi Warband' after confirming the password and token. And the three of the 'Wild Stone Mercenary Group' were even more in this weird atmosphere, subconsciously distancing themselves from the players of the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower'.
Just when the black-clad leader of the 'Atakosi Warband' was about to intervene in this strange atmosphere. The silver-haired man in the ornate armor of the Bounty Warband. Finally, somewhere in the corner of my head, I found information about Clematis.
After checking the facial appearance of Clematis. This elite warrior cultivated by the Church of Repulse City really couldn't connect the little girl with the 'Golden Eye' ornament on Klamatis's chest - although with the situation of the Temple of Wintersprings, Klamatis couldn't get together the full set of 'Golden Eye Emissary'. But the jewelry used to prove his identity was still turned out in the warehouse.
After repeatedly confirming that he was not mistaken, the silver-haired man who looked like an audience took the initiative to take a step: "I didn't expect to meet a fellow countryman in this kind of place!" Pastor Bot, you've only been out of shallow water for over a year! I didn't expect to mix well when I was out alone, which made me feel a little bit like I had been in vain for the whole year. ”
As the so-called sedan chair is carried by everyone, in the face of the compatriots who have now got ahead, as long as there is no obvious conflict of interest. At the very least, there are still a few words to say on the scene. And the leader of the 'Bounty Warband' deliberately emphasized that it is not for nothing that Clematis has grown.
Although the root cause of Clematis and Claudia leaving Repulse City. It's to find the treasure hidden in the ancient ruins. But the turmoil before leaving made people feel more like they were deported. In the eyes of the other party, young people like Clematis and Claudia often choose to try to prove themselves after going through that kind of thing. Wait until a certain amount of achievements have been made in the future, and then use it to prove that some people at that time have no eyes.
It was precisely because of this understanding in his heart that the silver-haired man would be obedient to Clematis. Don't look at the Bounty Warband, which has just defeated the mammoths, mastodons, and their minions. However, judging from the situation in the entire Northland, the situation is still very unfavorable to the Church of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' in the same camp as the Seven Cities Alliance. Therefore, in the face of the possible help of the next action, this person will naturally not be reluctant to waste saliva.
Since the other party has already handed out an olive branch, Clematis naturally responded in a friendly manner: "Mr. Clifford, you are still brilliant!" I really didn't expect to be able to be in this damn place, the 'Bounty Warband'! With you here, the plans of the damned mammoth barbarians and the skinners of the Council of Nobles will never succeed. ”
Mr. Clifford thought for a moment before he remembered Clematis's message. Klammatis knew a lot about the leader of the 'Bounty Warband' detachment in front of him. After all, when they were in Repulse City, the 'Bounty Warband' was not only an armed church, but also one of the faces of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' church.
The members of this armed force are not only good in strength, but even their appearance is above the average level. Every time they compete in the arena, they receive countless flowers and applause, and in a sense, they work part-time as urban idols in addition to their own jobs.
And Mr. Clifford in front of him, as one of the three sub-leaders of the 'Bounty Battle Band', is a big star, if not a household name in Repulse City. Klematis begging for a living within the same organization. How can you not recognize this person who often appears in the spotlight!
Response to Clematis. Mr. Clifford turned his head and let Haifei blow his bangs. It's not that he wants to be handsome. Rather, it is an instinctive habit left over from years of training. Who made the church ask them when they were in Repulse City to maintain their best image in front of people at all times!
Of course, such a subconscious behavior did not affect the other party's discussion of serious matters: "It seems that when other temples contacted you, they didn't tell the truth completely!" If Pastor Bott understands the situation in the Northland, you'll understand how much we are in a difficult situation right now. ”
"Is the situation so bad?" Clematis's face seemed to be clouded.
Mr. Clifford turned his head: "Forget it! We'll wait until the temple to talk about the specifics, so don't keep standing here. You see, Israel, they've cleaned up and gone into town. ”
While Clematis and Mr. Clifford were talking, the 'Atakosi Warband' should finish cleaning up their own part of the battlefield. Walking in the town of Winter Springs. It can be seen that although the two teams work together when facing the mammoth, the relationship between the two sides is not so close.
At this moment, Barrett suddenly spoke: "The 'Atakosi Warband' will not go to the docklands to collect prisoners now!" When I was on the roof of the temple before, I also paid attention to the situation in the docklands. Relying on the ships inside, it would be difficult to transport the mammoth's descendants. Not to mention the servants. I've heard that the Church of the 'God of Tyranny' has a lot of means of reorganizing this ragtag army, so that they don't want to take advantage of it when the time comes. ”
"This is!" Mr. Clifford turned his gaze to Clematis. The latter did not hesitate to speak directly: "This is the leader of our current team, the favored side branch of the Boreham family. ”
"Mr. Boram?" Mr. Clifford fixed his gaze on Barrett, "Your guess is exactly right. But we don't need to fight with the believers of the 'God of Tyranny' anymore. If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have come with us to relieve the siege of Wintersprings. Those captives are now their reward. ”
So four or five hundred captives were sent out as payment. How bad is the situation outside? Even the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce, which has always been careful, is trying to find a way to strengthen its allies...... 'Barrett, who thought of this, suddenly felt an urge to get out of the Northlands. However, he understands that whether or not they can get out of the Northlands now is not entirely up to the players' own will. They have waded into this muddy water. Now I'm a little bit out of my mind.
As the players led the Bounty Clan into the Winterspring Temple, everyone on the hydra lizard's line let out a deafening cheer. The voice reverberated through the corridor. seems to be wantonly venting everyone's long-standing grievances and depression.
But Mr. Clifford didn't have time to talk to them, and he went straight up and whispered something in Pastor Gatsby's ear. Then he gave Klaimatis and Barrett a look. Then he was led by Reverend Gatsby into the depths of the temple. And after Clematis and Barrett looked at each other, they had no choice but to start to follow.
When the Reverend Gartzby used a spell to isolate the inside and outside, Mr. Clifford spoke very solemnly: "All right! Since there are no outsiders here, then I have something to say. Now the situation of the Seven Cities Alliance is very bad, in addition to the original Walkerson City, which is still fighting in the streets, two more cities have been broken down and fall into the same situation. ”
"There were three cities that were caught up in street fighting. In other words, there are only 4 main cities left that can provide support now? Barrett frowned as he spoke.
Such a message had not been conveyed in previous temple communications. Of course, Barrett can also understand the practices of other temples in the Seven Cities Alliance. After all, the temple of Winterspring Town was under siege at that time, and if those bad news came at this time, the impact on morale would be too great. That might not make it up to Mr. Clifford. Therefore, a certain degree of concealment is also a necessary means.
However, Mr. Clifford is not at all afraid that the few in front of him will not be able to accept the blow of reality: "In fact, three of the remaining four cities are also under siege. Only the dwarven Black Iron Fortress was too difficult to attack, so it was temporarily abandoned by the Mammoth Dynasty and the Council of Nobles. But as you know about the dwarves, they don't have much of an advantage when it comes to fighting on the ground against others. So relying on their reinforcements is a drop in the bucket. ”
"How could this be, when did those two families gain such overwhelming strength." Klaimatis acted in disbelief.
Mr. Clifford shook his head and sighed: "How did the other side get such a victory, to be honest, we also want to know now." But for now, let's find a way to get through the current difficulties! ”
"It stands to reason that the Church of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' doesn't actually need to fight with the Council of Nobles. Haven't they come up with any solution to the previous friction so far? After getting so much information, that's what baffles Barrett the most.
Mr. Clifford's face at this time is completely comparable to that of pork liver in the vegetable market: "You asked a good question!" But we also want to know if the guys in the noble council are in the water or something. It's not just that we have plundered our lord's temple in Walkerson. Then they also laid down on the temples in their territory. Although they had prepared in advance, only the three largest temples were still supported by today, and the rest had been captured by them. ”
"Wait! Wouldn't the Pan-Continental Church Union intervene in this case? Kleimatis asked hurriedly. She didn't believe that the rest of the churches would sit on the sidelines.
"You also know that in our churches everywhere, there is often some shady behavior. This time, they used the name of the conflict as an excuse. Mr. Clifford said and sighed, "For this reason, the most powerful 'notary master' has no excuse to intervene. The rest of the churches, without this leader, have become a scattered sand. (To be continued.) )
PS: The modification is complete. Thanks to the three big monthly passes, "Get It", "Magic or Magic" and "Little GEnd". At the same time, I would like to thank "BingHuo" and "Altar Fat Biao" for their great rewards.
