However, although the "Shadow Technique" is very good, for Gordon, although the spell "Knowing the Legend" cannot directly enhance combat effectiveness, it is the most useful spell today. This spell belongs to the school of prophecy and allows the caster to grasp the stories and legends behind a person, an object, or a location. This spell allows the mage to greatly improve his information-gathering ability, which can be used at certain critical moments.

In this form, there is not much time for Gordon to be able to learn spells with peace of mind. Four days after the Requiem Blessing Day, he had fully mastered the "Legends of Legends" and had a fairly in-depth study of the art of shadowing, and an opportunity came.

On this day, Ms. Dudeka, who had come to Freiris City to preside over the overall situation, invited the nobles of the city and the high-ranking members of the Church to attend the meeting she presided over in order to summarize the attacks on Requiem Day and draw up a new plan to deal with the new threat of the Death Cult.

Although Gordon had little influence in Freiris City, he was invited to the meeting as the man who had personally killed a cult leader on Requiem Day and had a direct confrontation with the dark elf who had seized the demon's heart. From this it can be seen that although the lady Dudika was harsh and not very likable, she was at least a person who was practical and not vain.

Such lengthy meetings are always full of lethargic clichés and all sorts of boring and complicated disputes, and Gordon usually hates such meetings. This time, however, he looked looking forward to it. Because Renus had finally been freed from the various assignments of the Lady Dudeka, she was able to consult with him and carry out a plan that had been prepared for a long time.

It's the same as the ceremony on Requiem's Blessing Day. The meeting was also held in the Temple of Dawn on the Temple Hill. After many days, the traces of the attack on the day of the Requiem Blessing Day have disappeared without a trace, but the solemn expressions on the faces of the nobles and clergy attending the meeting can still see the impact of the cult attack.

Gordon arrived in front of the Temple of Dawn half an hour early. He glanced up at the still magnificent and polished marble column, and frowned slightly.

"The blood stains on the walls can be cleaned lightly, but the scars in people's hearts. But it's not so easy to erase. A man's voice rang out behind Gordon.

Gordon looked back and saw that the person who spoke was Geralt, the witcher hired by Lady Dudeka. He involuntarily looked down, glancing at the delicate silver pendant on the other party's chest. That one came to life. The wolf's head in the shape of an angry roar is the hallmark of this Mr. Geralt.

"Mr. White Wolf." Gordon nodded to Geralt.

"To be honest, I don't really like the nickname. It's just that there are too many people to spread it, and in the end, I can only accept it helplessly. Geralt shrugged. His voice was still low. Husky is full of magnetism. Gordon felt like he was a woman. Or if you are a woman who doesn't like a man, I'm afraid that you can easily fall into the hands of this charismatic witcher.

After the last meeting, Gordon did some research on the witcher nicknamed "White Wolf" and learned many rumors about the other party. As expected, this guy is indeed a very popular man with women. Of course, Gordon wasn't bored enough to dive into a man's private life. These were just the extra bits he had gotten when he was investigating Geralt's life history.

Mr. White Wolf's name is Geralt, and his surname is unknown. He introduced himself. Always add "from Livia".

That's right, Livia is Geralt's hometown. It was a remote area in the western part of the Green Gap province. Many years ago, it was part of the unexplored frontier of the empire like the Hybon Peninsula. Livia has a foggy and cold climate, as well as a barren and humid swampy dense forest terrain, and is sparsely populated and full of mysteries.

When many people think of the Livia region, they conjure up an eerie image of crows and wolves crowing in the foggy forest at night. Deep in the woods, is a mysterious log cabin. Looking through the orange-lit window, an ugly witch in a peaked hat was smiling wickedly as she boiled a pot of foul-smelling liquid......

The real Livia is a little more varied than this stereotyped imagination, but the area is indeed a stronghold for witches.

Although because of the Nesserduran Magic Empire, the arcane system of the eight major spell schools has now been accepted by the entire main material world, and even the entire Tyros World Multiverse, and has become the mainstream. Before the Third Age, however, the system of magic was far less complete than it is today.

At that time, there were not only elemental magic theories that were simply divided into four categories: wind, fire, water, and earth based on the appearance of arcane energy, but also dragon magic doctrines that were divided by the tone of their chanting when casting spells, and various other rudimentary magic systems with primitive nature worship.

However, in the later development and growth of the Netherduran Magic Empire, the casters of various schools in the main material world, whether voluntarily or forcedly, gave up their doctrines one after another and accepted the eight major magic schools of magic arcane system. The process of unification of this arcane system is even more intense and bloody than the unification of a country. In addition to the collision of ideas, there is also the collision of swords. In order to implement its own system, the Magic Empire did not hesitate to launch a total of thirteen academic wars, conquering all the magical heretics in the main material world.

The Witches are a special group that studies necromancy and dark energy, and blends magic and alchemy. Their spells can only be used by women, which is why they are called witches.

This group maintained a humble low profile when communicating with the powerful Nesseran Magic Empire, and took the initiative to embrace the Empire's eight schools of arcane art. It's just that they are very clever in absorbing the imperial arcane system, and at the same time, they have not forgotten their own traditions. When the vast empire was destroyed by a natural disaster, the witches took the opportunity to break away. He revived his own traditions and established his own influence in the Livia region.

Later, in the Fourth Age, the unification of the Freedon emperors in order to expand the territory. It also targeted the region of Livia, which was not part of the Imperial Empire at the time. In particular, the three major churches, which claim to be light, righteous, and civilized, regard witches who study dark magic as natural enemies.

Thus, the war broke out.

That war is recorded in the history books as the "Witch War". In the end, Ferreton won, conquering the Livia region and eradicating the organized witch forces completely. But the Empire also paid a heavy price - the Anduin family, the royal family of Ferreton, to be exact.

Command the army. Winning the battlefield is not a specialty of witches. But when it comes to poisoning the curse and playing insidious tricks, I'm afraid it's an orthodox academic mage or an experienced battle mage. None of them are their opponents. Because of the witches' spells and poisonous spells, the Anduin family almost lost their heirs. Gordon is not clear how the feud between the witches and the Anduin family ended, but the Anduin family still rules Ferreton today. And the witch clan has disappeared from the public eye. However, it is still operating in the shadows.

Now, after the baptism of the Witch War and a series of overt and covert battles that followed, Livia is now completely under the control of the Empire and has been incorporated into the province of Green Gap. But the area was particularly dangerous because of the war, and the influence of the witches who had lived here for a long time, and the wilderness was littered with evil monsters and cursed ruins.

In such an environment, even the most ordinary life can become extremely difficult. Relatively, though. Such an environment can also make the strongest warriors, the best witchers.

The witchers from the Livia region are always exceptional. Geralt, on the other hand, is the best of these witchers. There are even rumors that his body has been transformed by the witch's secret spells, and his strength, agility, physique, reflexes and other indicators are far beyond ordinary people, and he can use a variety of unique spell-like abilities. His conspicuous white hair is the sequelae of body transformation.

For the ignorant and ordinary people, perhaps the experience of the white wolf Geralt and his transformation identity are frightening, but a mage like Gordon obviously doesn't care about this. For him, the witcher was at least better to deal with than the revered Lady Dudeka.

Gordon picked up Geralt's words and said, "I think the nickname 'White Wolf' is apt. You give the impression to others that you are about a lonely, fierce and powerful lone wolf. ”

"Maybe. At least this nickname can make the woman take off her dress more lightly and climb into my bed. Geralt smiled.

"Today's meeting, I don't think you like it with your temper, Mr. Geralt, I think you must have a special reason to come."

Geralt nodded, "Yes, there is a reason. I can't live up to the sums of money that Ms. Dudika has paid me. I have discovered the true purpose of the Death One Zhi Sect. In a moment's time, at the meeting, you will be informed at the request of Ms. Dudeka. ”

An outstanding and experienced witcher like Geralt naturally has his own unique set of intelligence gathering channels, so even if the other party claims to have found the true purpose of the Death One Sect, Gordon will not be surprised. In fact, after he met the dark elf with the heart of a demon and greatly increased his power on the Requiem Blessing Day, he had already vaguely guessed the final purpose of the other party.

It's just one thing to know, and it's another thing to stop the other party.

While Gordon was chatting with Geralt, Renus also arrived at the Temple of Dawn. When Gordon saw the paladin, he immediately walked up to her: "Renas. Miss Reinhardt, you're finally here. I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. ”

Gordon was so close to Renus that he uttered the words almost face-to-face. Renus looked a little unaccustomed, although her face was still the same, but she looked around left and right, and there was a hint of nervousness in her beautiful blue eyes.

Although when she was alone with Gordon, she was used to it, and was even willing to take the initiative to do something intimate in order to fulfill the responsibility of "perfect lover". But in public, she still wants to maintain her image as a paladin.

Seeing the girl's slightly nervous appearance, Gao Deng smiled narrowly, lowered his head to the side of her face, and took a deep breath: "It tastes good, it should be a high-end perfume sold by Lingcui Flower Firm." And you're still a little damp in your hair. Gordon reached out and gently brushed the ends of Renus's hair, "You took a shower before you left?" Looks like you're looking forward to today, too. ”

Miss Paladin took a deep breath, trying to ignore the various stares that had already gathered around her. He said to Gordon: "I am your lover, so as long as your request is not too much, I will meet it." What's more, we do this as well as to make this . Anissa showed his feet and made heavy progress in the investigation of the Death Cult. ”

"Do you really trust me so much? What if it's all an excuse, but it's just that I want to play tricks on you? ”

A hint of annoyance flashed in Renus's eyes. But he was still trying to control his tone: "I have promised that I will try my best to be your lover." So even if you deliberately trick me and make me lose face in public. I can only endure in silence. ”

Who would have thought that the heroic and awe-inspiring Miss Paladin would put on a posture of obedience in front of him. Although there is a lot of stiffness in this suppleness, it makes people feel that she is not obedient because of love, but out of commitment. But no matter what. Gordon was quite satisfied.

But so. He didn't make such an affectionate gesture to Renus to show affection in public. Gordon did this just to put on a show and show it to someone. Now, when Gordon felt a sour gaze of jealousy and resentment on him, he knew that his purpose had been achieved.

Gordon parted from Renus, and saw that she was dressed modestly. Ben, known as the saint of the city of Freiris. Mr. Bishop Anissa.

"This guy must be jealous of me and Renus's intimacy just now. You want to kill me right now, right? ”

Although Ben. Bishop Anissa looked the same as usual, but Gordon knew what he was thinking. The hateful and jealous gaze just now came from this bishop. It's just that he has lived in a mask for so many years, and he has well concealed his feelings in front of everyone. If Gordon hadn't known the other party's true face, so he paid special attention to every facial expression of this bishop, I am afraid that he would not have noticed the change in his eyes.

"Gordon, will your method really work?" Renus asked, lowering her voice.

"Of course, I know men well, and I know how to make a man hate me to the core." Gordon whispered softly.

Renus knew that she knew too little about men to contradict Gordon, so she nodded to him and walked into the temple first.

"Lord Earl Freeman, on Requiem Day, your actions are exemplary and admirable."

At this time, Ben. Bishop Anissa also walked in front of Gordon. His expression was as usual, as if he hadn't seen the scene just now, and greeted Gordon cordially, and complimented him by the way.

"Your Excellency, your deeds of providing free divine healing to the citizens after the attack are truly commendable." Gordon said politely.

No one could have imagined what kind of turbulent waves were hidden under the cordial greetings between the two.

"I still have something to discuss with Archbishop Dudeka, so let's go first."

Gordon nodded in acknowledgment, "Please." ”

Looking at Ben. With the back of Bishop Anissa, Gordon's mind once again demonstrated the carefully laid out plan.

Root. Anissa is the most important figure in Gordon's possession of the Onishi Cult of the Dead. Most of the cultists captured on Requiem Day were low-level cannon fodder and had brainwashed loyalty. The city guards simply couldn't get useful information from those people, so Gordon could only lock the breakthrough on this bishop.

However, it was not easy to bring down the bishop. It was especially difficult when Ms. Dudika, who was the Archbishop of the Diocese of Changxia Province, arrived.

Renus at the first time will Ben. Anissa's matter was reported to Ms. Dudeka. It's just that the lady didn't believe the Paladin's report at all, and even for Ben. Anissa had no suspicions at all and immediately dismissed Renus's objection to Ben. Anissa initiates the investigation of Tiyì.

If an investigation is initiated, a special ritual is held to attract the attention of Melidia, the goddess of dawn, then Ben. Anissa's mask must have been punctured in one fell swoop. But it's a pity that Ms. Dudeka is very interested in Ben. Anissa was convinced that this bishop, who had lived in poverty for ten years and was like a saint, would be a villain who had colluded with the cult.

Moreover, a stubborn person like Ms. Dudeka not only has her own hatred for Ben. Anissa was convinced, and would never allow anyone else to be suspicious of Ben. Anissa investigates. Her reason is also very high-sounding, she believes that now that the enemy of the Death One Zhi Sect is currently facing a crisis, the entire Fryris City, and even the entire Changxia Province, is facing a crisis, so everyone should be closely united, and they should not doubt each other and mess with themselves.

So, Gordon had to take a radical approach and make Ben. Anissa threw herself into the trap.

If this bishop is really a person with a perfect personality, without worldly desires and lowly tastes, as he seems, then Gordon is naturally at a loss and unable to start. Luckily, however, Gordon knew that the other side had one of their biggest weaknesses: Ben. Anissa is deeply in love with a woman, a woman who is exactly the same as Renus's appearance and temperament.

On Requiem Blessing Day, when the cultists attacked the temple, Gordon saw with his own eyes that in an unexpected situation, Ben. Anissa's concern for Renus. So he was sure that the bishop had already loved Wu and Wu, and transferred his deep feelings for his lover to Renus.

Now, things will be easy.

Root. Anissa is madly in love with Renus because she agrees with the delusion. Renus, on the other hand, is Gordon's lover. Whether it was because of the blood contract or Renus's own character of keeping her promises, in short, Miss Paladin was willing to follow Gordon's orders.

Then Gordon uses Renus to provoke Ben. Anissa's jealousy, making this guy want to kill himself immediately, became an easy thing to do.

Gordon's intimacy with Renus in public was only the first step in this hate-attracting plan.

Root. Anissa is cautious and cunning, and it is almost impossible to sit back and wait for the other party to make a mistake. So Gordon can only take the initiative and lure Ben. Anissa had to make mistakes on his own.

"I thought to myself that you are very good at dealing with women, but I didn't expect that you are also a master, Lord Earl." Geralt said.

Gordon didn't expect the witcher to leave yet: "It's over." ”

"I didn't win any awards." Geralt looked at Gordon, "Since I saw a very interesting scene just now, I also have to warn Lord Earl that Archbishop Dudeka has a very strong rejection, even hostility, towards any man who tries to get close to Miss Reinhardt. ”

Gordon had just deliberately made intimacy with Renas in a public place like the entrance to the temple, just to provoke Ben. Anissa, he didn't want to mess with that lady Dudeka. Although he was not afraid of Ms. Dudeka's strength or the identity of the other party, it was also a very troublesome thing to provoke such a stern and stubborn old woman.

He asked, "Mr. Geralt, the paladins of the Temple of Dawn do not prohibit marriage, and I don't think that Lady Dudeka has the right to interfere with any man Renas associates with." ”

"You're quite right." Geralt shrugged his shoulders, "It's a pity that Archbishop Dudeka doesn't think so. She has a protective desire for Miss Reinhardt that goes beyond the average superior to his subordinates. And I have also heard that Archbishop Dudeka is preparing to train Miss Reinhardt to be the Holy Maiden of the Temple of the Dawn.

On Requiem Day, both the Temple of Erasis and the Temple of Bahamut have their own candidate for the Holy Maiden. Although the Temple of Dawn did not say it explicitly, since Renus had taken on the position of an important sword-wielding officer, even if it was not officially announced, the significance of the future would be self-evident.

Of course, the Holy Maiden and the Holy Candidate must be pure, so if Lady Dudeka intends to let Renus be the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Dawn, she will definitely not be kind to the men around her.

Renus once told Sù Gordon that she had no interest in becoming a saint in the Temple of the Dawn. Because she is not a believer in Meridia, she can usually disguise herself with a broken day, but if she takes the position of a saint, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not wear a gang in full view.

And the reason why she stayed in the Temple of Dawn was also for her own revenge goal. Renus is absolutely unwilling to let the identity of the saint be bound by her symbolism, which is far more symbolic than practical. (To be continued......)
