May 3rd, afternoon.

While the carrier pigeons from Evta were still hovering in the sky, Roddy had already traversed the 1,700-kilometre journey with the help of the "Duck of Reach" to reach the forest outside the "Temple".

To be honest, Roddy had never experienced such a rudimentary and painful flight in his life - this was not the business class of the A380, and there was no coffee from the flight attendant, no music playing in the headphones, and no e-book to pass the time in his hand.

For twenty hours, Roddy faced only damp clouds and fierce cold winds, and even though his whole body and head were wrapped in three layers of leather, Roddy still felt that his body was blown cold. If it weren't for the persistent belief in his heart, Roddy would have chosen to rest a few more times in the middle of the journey - but now, after holding on for twenty hours, he reached his destination as fast as he could!

However, this feeling was too painful, and when he jumped off the back of the pintail snipe, Roddy fell on the spot because of the stiffness of his legs, and then even climbed seven or eight meters before barely standing up with the help of a tree.

Roddy held the trunk of the tree for half an hour before he gradually recovered from the lack of oxygen. Then he began to take off the thick leather coat wrapped around his body one by one, and after eating and drinking lazar, he ran straight towards the interior of the city.

The temple was built 400 years ago, and the structure of the city is similar to that of other cities in the kingdom, except that it has the largest church complex in the world, and here it is the centerpiece of the "Rosicrucifixion".

The atmosphere of the city has always been peaceful and quiet because of faith, and Roddy is in a hurry along the way, but the believers on the roadside seem to be completely unaware of sectarian conflict. Roddy was not surprised by this, and he rushed to the front of the church, took out the first "oracle" he had ever received, and after some talking, finally obtained the "permission to meet" Bishop Rubens when the sun went down.

The majestic and tall church has a Gothic spire, the white marble floor and walls reveal the majesty and solemnity of the pavement, and when walking through the corridor, the stone pillars on both sides are full of statues of the past popes and saints, but Roddy is not in the mood to sigh at this time, he just keeps urging the priest in front of him, and then after a few minutes, he finally sees Bishop Rubens in the study with a surprised face.

"Roddy, what are you..."

Rubens didn't expect Roddy to suddenly come to the temple to find him, and he was a little surprised - he had already trusted Roddy, and he was even more impressed when he learned that Roddy had killed Belom at the border, but it was clear that Roddy was not here to catch up, and after a brief inquiry, Roddy told the story straight to the point.

For this reason, Rubens's face instantly became solemn, he looked left and right, and then said in a low voice: "This kind of news, I'm afraid that the enemy's whereabouts must be confirmed before it can be reported to Mograine, and after waiting for his decision, he can coordinate the troops..."

"But you and I both know it's too late to do this," Roddy's face was still a little pale, as if the warm temperature here still hadn't eased his body from the cold, "Now Sally is still in the forest, and the nearly 10,000 combat troops of the 'Rosicrucius' are there..."

"I know that no one will believe such news, even if you are the first to suspect it... But this is indeed a fact that I have confirmed: if measures are not taken, all the troops within the sect may suffer heavy losses in this battle, or even be completely annihilated!"

"Now it's number three... We're running out of time. ”

Rubens' mouth was slightly open, as if his head had received too much information to react. At this moment, there was a knock on the door next to him, and a soldier handed an urgent letter - Rubens took it, and when he found out that it was Angmar, he immediately opened it and read it...

The contents of the letter made his brow furrow, but after a few seconds, Rubens raised his eyes in astonishment and asked, "Angmar said that you were still in Hollier when the 30th? But how..."

Halfway through his words, he realized that this was not the point of the matter—Roddy's embarrassed and weak appearance at this time had confirmed that it was not a joke.

Rubens was able to take the position of "cardinal", and the credit for Roddy's eradication of the infidels and the destruction of the undead generals was almost the first place in the credit, and at this time, through the evidence of Angmar's letters, he had completely believed Roddy's remarks that could be called "Arabian Nights".

But the problem also came, he put the letter away, sighed, and said in a low voice: "I believe your words, but the situation is not optimistic now..."

"The conflict between me and Mograini within the sect is almost public, and if the entire battle plan is canceled now because of a piece of unsubstantiated news, then he is tantamount to slapping himself in the face, and trying to rely on normal news as a warning may not work at all. ”

Such an accident was unexpected, Roddy rubbed his temples in distress, and after a moment of thought, he asked, "Then they don't have reserves?"

"Because the enemy has not actively resisted, Mograini has not used the three thousand soldiers of the follow-up reserve, who should now be on standby in the town of Paz. ”

The town of Perth is on the east side of the Brill Forest, just one day and one night away from the village of Mogra.

Rubens understood what Roddy meant, but he shook his head very dryly: "I can't convince Mograini to use the reserves, I'm afraid he will be suspicious after I talk too much - my position is very sensitive at the moment, and if I make any moves, Mograini will probably take advantage of the opportunity..."

This is not an excuse to shirk responsibility, but a fact, Roddy understands Rubens's difficulties in this position, but he does not intend to let Rubens go to Mograini, but after taking a deep breath, he slowly asks: "There is only one way to do it now, but I don't know if you are willing to help me..."

Rubens' expression became serious: "I just want to know, is your plan out of your own selfishness?"

"Yes," Roddy admits without hesitation, "I want to save Sally, I don't want her to die." And I have a very important friend in the village of Mogra, and I don't want her to be affected by the war. ”

After saying this, the atmosphere around them fell silent.

Rubens narrowed his eyes, looked away from Roddy for a moment, and then reached out and closed the door to the study.

"So... Tell me more about it. ”

May 4th.

Wandering around the village as usual, Nephie suddenly notices that there is a group of guys in their robes in the village.

There were not many people on the other side, only twelve or thirteen in total, and they were talking loudly about certain teachings, and at the same time they held up the necklace of the cross rosicrucia in their hands in the air, like the villagers around them to show something.

The "Rosicrucius" had a large number of followers in the kingdom of Karen, and such a mission was carried out almost several times a year - in the generally uneducated villages, the faith of the peasants, although it could not bring them much gold donations, could provide them with a better supply of soldiers, so most people have seen a similar situation.

But these guys who appeared this year made Neffi feel a little strange.

Because the "priest" who is leading the speech is the same guy who asked Sally where the village chief is... In my impression, the other party was not wearing a teaching robe, and his body did not look like he had a bright atmosphere.

"Camilla, what, do you still want to join the church as a nun?"

"No, I just think they're a little different, Uncle Sam. ”

Standing in the shade of the trees, Neffy pointed to the guys and replied, while Sam, who was passing by, touched his beard and smiled: "It's really different, the missionaries who came in the past were all yellow and thin, and these guys who came this year seem to have finally eaten a few full meals." ”

That's true, even though the robes are loose and loose, you can still see that most of these people have strong bodies and thick arms, and they are obviously not the weak priests of the past - but Nephi's focus is obviously different from Sam's, and when most people only focus on appearance, Nephie can see the faint light emanating from the surface of these guys' bodies...

It seemed to be innate, she could see the soft blue glow of her mother, she could see the white glow of Sally, and now, he saw a purple mist of light in these self-proclaimed "Rosicrucians".

"This is supposed to be a shadow elemental..."

Sally tilted her head and looked at her for a long time, Sam thought she was really curious, so he said, "I just came back from the neighboring village today, and I heard that there are a lot of such believers in the nearby villages these days, and there are even Templars on horseback, do you want to go and see them?

"It's Uncle Sam, you want to see it!"

Nephie's faceless debunking of his little caution and then bounced home - but after pushing open the wooden door, Nefi's originally relaxed expression revealed a little hesitation and seriousness that he had never felt before...

"Mom said that it's usually the bad guys who disguise themselves. ”

She muttered softly, and with some difficulty moved the wooden stool to the shelf, then climbed onto the wooden stool, stood on tiptoe, and reached out to pull out a seemingly large and heavy tome from the highest level of the shelf.

The book, which was one-third the size of Nephie, was actually very light, and he staggered off the bench, and Nephi placed it on the wooden table, and after reciting a high elf incantation, the huge tome opened like a box from the middle.

In the dim light, three small paper scrolls lay quietly in the center, and Nephie thought for a moment and reached out to take them all.

"Nephi has grown up and has learned to protect himself. ”
