On the streets, people come and go.

The finals are in the final stages, and the whole Pelican Town is now fuller than ever.

Click-click-click-click-

The Staff of Light landed softly on the ground, carrying the priest through the crowd.

With a smile on his face, the Holy Breads returned the favor to everyone who saluted him.

Overhead, the sun shone softly, slowly removing the winter clothes from people's bodies and changing into lighter clothes.

Merely......

Such a crowded street is really not very suitable for better restoring the magic of light.

The Holy Cake greeted the visitors all the way to the east of the town.

Soon, he left Pelican Town and came to the trail that linked to the Shining Forest.

He stood on this empty plain, looking out at the distant forest that had faded its silver-white decorations, and took a breath.

Sticking the Staff of Light into the dirt in front of him, the Holy Bread spread his hands and felt the light falling from the sky.

Closing his eyes, he could clearly feel that the land was slowly recovering. The light element contained in the air is also constantly rising, and the body, which was exhausted by the lack of magic elements during this time, is slowly recovering.

It's just that the speed of recovery may be really slow...... I guess it's just enough to last the last two finals, right?

When you think about it, the Holy Bread can't help but feel amused by his actions.

The reason why I stayed in the Mermaid's Song was to recover the magic in my body as much as possible, and then I could continue to set off after the winter.

But after such a tossed winter, his magic power did not recover much at all, but seemed a little more lacking.

So, was I unknowingly exploited by Ariel's little girl?

Thinking of Ariel, before I knew it, Holy Bread's mind began to think of his daughter again.

If this child were alive now, where would she be? What are you doing now?

In this cold winter, is she also living a full life? Or is she sitting around the fire with the people who care about her, roasting her body very warmly and eating hearty food?

Or, is she already married? Have you already formed a happy little family of your own? Did his old father become a grandfather before he knew it?

Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of the Holy Cake's mouth couldn't help but become even stronger. He took a deep breath, opened his arms wider, and raised his head to face the sun, letting the warm light shine more on himself......

"The ghost wood in the mausoleum!"

A familiar voice rang out, causing Holy Bread's eyes to snap open!

But before he could open his mouth to recite the defensive incantation, some dry and dirty black branches burst out of the soles of his feet at this moment, bound his body, and even stuffed a huge tree nodule directly into the mouth of the holy bread, preventing him from saying a word!

The Holy Bread, which had not recovered much of its own magic, couldn't move, and his eyes widened as he looked at the man standing in front of him, who had just finished casting the spell—

Huailin Heart Whisper.

The forest mage had a staff in his hand, and his upper body was naked, but the lower half of his body was made of a multitude of branches that formed four legs, allowing him to stand there like a four-limbed animal.

Seeing that he hit the target in one breath, a smile appeared on Huai Lin's face. This smile touched his shattered skin, and it was really a little scary to watch.

"Good job, Huailin."

Another voice rang out, and Holy Bread could only roll his eyes to see three other people slowly gathering from all sides.

The lead person was none other than the Mermaid Song who had asked to see Arrow, the guard standing beside Viscount Norris. Now the Holy Bread also knows his name.

The Crowbar Unbeliever clutched his chest, his face a little pale, and his steps as he walked over seemed to be limping, as if he was not lightly injured.

Look at the other two members, who are also seriously injured now.

But even so, when the holy cake wanted to struggle, Huai Lin still raised the cane in his hand and wrapped him tighter, unable to spit out a word.

"Damn Merfolk Song...... It really added a lot of trouble to us! ”

The crowbar walked up to the bread and pulled up the staff in front of him.

The Staff of Light was held in the hands of the others, and the place where the head had been slightly glowing immediately dimmed.

"Heh, it's worthy of being a weapon made by the Holy See of Light, and it even has the power to recognize the Lord?"

The crowbar snorted coldly, weighed the staff in the palm of his hand, and then handed it to the retinue behind him.

Huai Lin slowly stepped forward, looking at the holy cake that was now unable to move with fierce eyes, and the corners of his mouth opened to show a smile, pulling the cobweb-like wound on his face, making him even more terrifying: "President, do you want to ...... Kill him right now? If there are no accidents, he is the strongest existence in the Mermaid Song. Kill him, and the mermaid's song will be no different from a puddle of mud. ”

The crowbar snorted twice, looking up and down at the holy bread in front of him, his eyes revealing undisguised killing intent!

However, this killing intent only lasted for a short time, and soon, he waved his hand and said, "Although I also want to, Viscount Norris does not want to be hostile to the Holy See of Light. If the Holy See of Light were to know that one of their high priests had died at our hands, do you think His Excellency the Viscount would reward us? Or do you want to cut us directly and tie us up and hand it over to the Holy See of Light? ”

After being said like this, Huai Lin realized what a bad idea he had again, so he could only shut up and retreat to the side and stop talking.

Drinking back from his subordinates, the crowbar stepped forward again, looked at the holy cake with a smile on his face, and said slowly—

"Your Excellency High Priest, please forgive our brother for what he did before. To be honest, we really don't want to be hostile to the Holy See of Light. Therefore, we will definitely not hurt you in the slightest. ”

Holy Bread's eyes widened, and there was anger in his eyes as he looked at the crowbar.

"Our goal, and that of our hosts, has always been to make money. As long as we can make good money, we have no interest in human life and anything like that. We also investigated before this action against you, and learned that you are not an official guild member of Merfolk Song, but only a temporary resident under their guild name. That's why we have no choice but to ask you to stand here and listen to us quietly. ”

The expression of the crowbar was very respectful, and if you look closely, there is indeed no disrespect other than full of flattery.

After nodding his head at the Holy Cake with that smile, he continued—

"Your Excellency High Priest, our master wants to make the Mermaid's Song unprofitable, and at the same time wants to take the name 'Guild Wars' into his own name. For this reason, this guild war in Pelican Town must not end perfectly, and there must be a big mess as the final end. ”

"Our member Huai Lin told me that the main credit for the Mermaid's Song to ensure that there will be no casualties in the Guild War is due to the defensive magic of His Excellency the High Priest. In other words, without the High Priestess's magic 'Holy Blessing', the next two matches of Mermaid Song would have failed. When there are casualties in tomorrow's game, the last game will either be completely reckless and ask the two guilds to continue playing with a large amount of money, or it will have to be declared over. ”

"Either way, the mermaid song is going to hurt your spirits. And if there are casualties on both guilds, they will redirect their anger to the mermaid song. For us killer bees, we are happy to see problems with these two guilds. ”

"Therefore, we thought that His Excellency the High Priestess would not be able to perform magic for the time being. Considering that Your Excellency High Priest has used so much light magic before, and the weather is so good today, there is a good chance that you will leave the town, and we will follow you. Luckily, you did come out alone, as I had predicted. ”

The mouth of the holy bread was gagged, and he could not express any opinion at all. But the crowbar knew exactly what he was talking about, nodded at the moment, and said with a smile: "I know, I know exactly what I'm talking about." And what His Excellency High Priest is thinking, I can probably guess the same as ten. You must be thinking, why should you help us? And if we treat you like this now, won't we be afraid of the Bright See's rebuke in the future? ”

As he spoke, the crowbar smiled and raised his hands in surrender: "I'm afraid, we're really scared." We are just a small guild in Lagoon City, even if we have a good relationship with His Excellency the Viscount, it is impossible for His Excellency the Viscount to resist the problems of the Holy See of Light for us~~~"

Putting down his hands, the crowbar's face was filled with a flattering smile with a dangerous aura: "So, we want to ...... with His Excellency the High Priest Make a deal. ”

"A little investigation of His Excellency the High Priest will reveal that His Excellency has been searching for his daughter who was separated in the First Border War all these years, right? Well, it's easy, after all, every High Priest of the Holy See of Light needs to reveal his or her entire history in order to express his purity and piety to every believer. And for so many years His Excellency the High Priest had been running around the country, asking everywhere about a red-haired girl. It is not difficult to find out. ”

"So...... If we would like to provide His Excellency the High Priest with any clues about your daughter...... Would you like to close this deal with us? ”

In an instant, the eyes of the Holy Bread, which were originally full of anger, immediately became astonished!

The body that had been trying to struggle stopped at this moment, just staring blankly at the four people in front of him.

Seeing this, the crowbar raised its hand, and the locust forest retreated from magic, and the nodules and branches that blocked the holy bread slowly shrank back into the dirt.
