Chapter 41: It's hard to refuse

"Sorry! That's really bad news. Barrett lowered his chin palm, "We were also involved in the plane subsidence event that happened in Karada before. Naturally, they have a good understanding of their harmfulness. Personally, I really hope you'll get rid of all the damn ones soon. ”

Hearing this, the holy warrior Cortad sighed lightly: "It's a pity that those suspicious elements escaped after all. And after this opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to find their clues again. ”

"It may not be a good fit, but given the years of friendship between the Boreham family and your church, I feel like I should say more." After a little deliberation, Barrett decided that he had to express his thoughts: "There are too few people who have come here this time, and even with the help of the local lords, it will not be able to hide your lack of preparation in advance. ”

Barrett's voice was not small, and most of the priests and paladins in the vicinity could hear what he was saying. After hearing this, Rielly, who was on the side, immediately grabbed Lalu's palm and cast a questioning glance at him.

In the mage's thoughts, Barrett's 'provocative' behavior will be at odds with the members of the 'Lord of Notary' church in front of him. What's more, at the stall where the other party's actions have just been frustrated, if you are unlucky, there may be a direct physical conflict. So Rielly was a little unbelievable that Barrett, who had always been cautious, suddenly made such an impulsive move.

However, in a completely different way from Rielly's assumption, these members of the Church of the 'Lord of Notary' not only did not look at Barrett angrily, but many of them were ashamed to turn away - it seemed that in their hearts, it was all their own responsibility to fail to arrest those cultists in time and prevent the next tragedy from happening.

And the holy warrior Cortad also shook his head slightly: "After getting the news, we are the only ones in the church who can rush over in a short time. Since the last Karada plane subsidence event, those cultists on the continent have emerged from the ground one by one like mushrooms after the rain. Those scattered cultists who are committing crimes everywhere have really choked on the mobile power of our church. Now the picket teams are scattered in all corners of the Western Continent, and as a result, there is intelligence here that after the accident, only a few of us can be transferred. ”

"I've heard people talk about this before. I didn't pay much attention to it, but now that I hear you say that, I realize that the situation is so bad. Barrett pressed his neck as he spoke, "It seems that we are actually quite lucky, except for those damned evil creatures in the territory of Viscount Goldenhorn. For the rest of our adventures, we didn't encounter any trouble caused by other cultists. ”

"Viscount of the Golden Thorn Bird? You probably just mentioned Port Volta! Hearing this, the holy warrior Cortad also seemed to think of something: "The invasion of the unspeakable thing there can be said to be the second largest invasion of the lower planes in recent years after the plane subsidence event in Karada. In this way, it seems that you are not so much lucky as bad luck! ”

"That's right! It's really bad luck for you to encounter this kind of incident in a row. Don't talk about the fact that you haven't met ordinary cultists. Those who are petty fighters, you are not professionals, and you may not be able to detect their flaws when you walk up to them. At this time, another member of the 'Lord of the Notary' church holding a large shield suddenly interjected. Obviously, their accusations against Barrett just now are not all without guilt in their hearts. It's just that they can tell the good from the bad, and even if they want to talk back, they will choose the right way.

Hearing this, the faces of the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' players all became ugly. Everyone recalled their own itinerary and experience in the past few days, and then immediately found that their trip was indeed a typical example of bad luck - although it cannot be called a humanoid natural disaster that happened anywhere, but no matter how you look at it, it is also the type of where there is trouble.

Just like the clergy of the 'Lord of Notars' church said, there may be many cults hidden in the crowd, but there are few who can really make big news. Don't look at the number of sacrifices, which caused these front-line personnel to be indignant one by one. But in the eyes of the higher-ups, it was the large-scale sacrificial ceremonies that really got valued.

Because that kind of sacrificial ritual will not only have more direct victims. What's more, if the ritual is successful, the catastrophic consequences may even turn the already densely populated city into a lifeless scorched earth. If a bridgehead is established for those creatures in the lower planes to attack the main plane, I am afraid that the whole continent will have to mobilize to resist the invasion of the alien plane.

Coupled with the fact that the entire Western Continent is so large, there have not been a few such major incidents in two years. So the players are able to participate in this continuously, and they really don't know how to describe their luck.

"The indescribable invasion of Port Volta is only in second place after the plane subsidence event in Karada? So is there anything else going on? How come we haven't heard anything about it? Barrett, who didn't want his companions to ponder like this any longer, immediately diverted the topic. Otherwise, the players may come up with some strange and bizarre ideas.

"It was the Advent Rite of the Lord of Hell that took place in the Pamir region. Although it was detected in time, it was not able to completely stop it. Speaking of this, the paladin Kortade's expression immediately became serious: "It is precisely because of this that in order to prevent panic, the relevant news has not spread widely. But I think professionals of your level would have no problem even if they knew. But remember to keep it a secret! All of you who are 'blood-stained gray flowers'. ”

The Pamir Kingdom was located in the easternmost part of the Western Continent, and the slavery, tribal structure adopted by the United Emirates was so alien to the mainstream of the Western Continent. Coupled with the other side's open slave hunting, the exchange between the two sides was mainly limited to commodity trade. It was precisely because of such prerequisites that the news of the Hell Lord's advent ceremony was relatively easy for the authorities to control.

And after the identity is confirmed. A lot of the 'great achievements' of the players on the mainland have also reached the ears of these members of the Church of the 'Lord of Justice'. Through the information gathered through the internal channels of the Church, they are willing to believe that the players of the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' are the ones who are qualified to know this information and know how to keep it secret.

"Need to block messages?"

"Didn't stop it completely?"

Clematis and Claudia exclaimed one after another. Rielly, on the other hand, turned to Barrett, "If I remember correctly!" The last time you went alone, you went to the Pamirs! In this way, it seems that the broom star in the team should obviously be the captain! ”

"I went to the Pamir Kingdom last time, yes! But I didn't get involved in any cult action. Barrett immediately defended his lucky level. Then he tried to turn the topic back on track: "But having said so much, we don't know what the after-effects of that incident are, and we actually need to block the news." ”

"The main thing is that the projection fragment of the Hell Lord and the two Lust Demons managed to escape. If we can't find them in time, who knows what kind of trouble will ensue. Paladin Cortad deliberately lowered his voice at this time.

Hearing this, Clematis immediately raised his voice: "For such a major event, you actually blocked the news?" ”

"The lady of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' church, although this news is under lockdown, the high-level people in the Western Continent know about it." The paladin Kortad began to patiently explain, "These rulers will naturally make a solution. As for the civilians, they have no way to expose the devil's disguise, nor can they fight the devil after they are exposed. Rather than sending them into a panic, it is better to live happily day by day. ”

"What a fucking world." Hearing this, the anvil couldn't help but curse.

And the paladin Cortad followed the words and said, "So in order not to let this world continue to fuck up, we have to work hard." Threats from below are completely solved in the embryonic stage. ”

"I personally agree with your philosophy. If it weren't for the fact that we had something to do and urgently needed to get to Poitou, we might have stayed to do you a little favor. As if sensing that the other party had the idea of pulling the strong ding, Barrett immediately opened his mouth to prepare to seal the route.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the paladin Koldard's smile twitched imperceptibly. But he still managed to keep that smiling face: "What's the matter with you, maybe we can help!" Let's not forget that it is very convenient for us to communicate with the faithful in Poitou. ”

The city of Poitou is one of the few holy sites in the western continent as the Church of the Lord of Justice. Naturally, they are very attentive to their business. It also became an important stronghold of the church in the kingdom of Norhan. When the Church of the Lord of Justice was operating in the country of Nohan, Poitou repeatedly acted as a command center. Hence the arrangement of a considerable number of messaging oddities. So as this guy just said, it's definitely very convenient to get in touch with it.

Although the reputation of the Church of the Lord of Justice has always been good, it is not appropriate for them to know about the conflict with the Cruze royal army. So......' Barrett then said, "One of my teammates just had a conflict with the 'Queen of Dragons' church. So we fought them a few times in the Cruze Kingdom. Some time ago, I heard that the 'After the Dragon' church has excavated a large ruin, and now I am ready to remind our friends who are related to us to get ready before the other party's strength increases. ”

"That relic of the 'Queen of the Dragon' church? I really don't know why, all the good things have been encountered by those evil people in the past few years. Speaking of this, the holy warrior Cortad exclaimed: "Is fate still too little sorrow and suffering in this world? ”

"No one can fathom fate." Klaimatis also lamented the various experiences he has had since he entered the game.

Immediately afterwards, the paladin Cortad turned to the real purpose of the conversation for so long: "We can help you pass on the news about this." But there's also something we want you to help with! ”

Is it coming? It seems that I really can't avoid it. Barrett immediately felt a pain in his head now.

It's okay to shout slogans like fighting for world peace, but we must really take this as a creed and maintain the unity of knowledge and action in a down-to-earth manner. That's definitely not a burden that ordinary people can bear. Even just a period of participation can be physically and mentally exhausting for many people.

However, if the paladin in front of him really wanted the players to stay, neither Barrett nor the other companions could refuse. Because the players in 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' are too high-tempered. In the face of these warriors who are on the front line of the fight against the lower planes. When they need reinforcements, players who still have a bit of romantic and idealistic space in their hearts are really hard to refuse!

"Let's talk about it first! If we can really help, we won't say no. Barrett had no choice but to go up at this time.

Paladin Cortad blushed and said with a little embarrassment, "You just mentioned that our church is now understaffed. But that's the limit of what we've been able to get here in the last few days. Of course, in this case, we can apply for foreign help. Will you join us in the fight against those damned cultists? ”

"The work of fighting against cultists is indeed very meaningful." Barrett immediately took a step back, and then pushed Clematis to the front row with a wave of his hand: "This is the treasurer of our team. Her opinion needed to be taken into account in that regard. ”

After paying attention to the emblem of Clematis, the Holy Warrior Cortad spoke directly: "Although you can't pay cash directly, you can get the church contribution of the 'Lord of the Notary' Church. I think even the Church of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' does not reject this kind of reward! And as a member of the Boreham family, this gentleman should understand the magic of it.
