Section 93: Joint Operations
Throughout the winter, Marin lived a two-point and one-line life, getting up in the morning and eating breakfast made by Maya, Marin took Maya to church to class, and then went home late, Marin cooked two dishes, and ate with Maya and the girl who came to eat.
When Faye is there, Marin will discuss the content with him, and then he will also discuss some problems in terms of techniques, usually the experience of Marin in casting, in terms of learning, Marin is completely a talented player, and the techniques are just for him to read once, memorize, and use.
Faye said that these nine words alone were enough to infuriate almost all the spellcasters on the entire continent.
In this regard, Marin said that there was nothing he could do, because this was really a talent, and it could only be said that the paternal bloodline made Marin a genius in terms of technique.
If Jessie was there, Marlin would take her up to the third floor - since the hapless third-floor tenant died, Marlin rented it from the landlady, remodeled it, and included the third floor in the protection of the circle and used it as a small training ground. On the third floor, Marin would fill himself with a curse and then practice with Jessica.
Marin doesn't make a move, only responsible for defense, it can be said that Jessica's fighting is indeed very talented, she is one of the few apprentices who can cheer up Marin, of course, she is the only one who is in the fifth grade, and the other apprentices are at least in the seventh or eighth grade.
Under Marin's feeding, the wolf girl made rapid progress, and Marin also gained something - learning how to fight with people of similar strength in a low-strength state.
This will help Marlin later if he encounters another giant or a guy with strange powers.
Cross doesn't come much, she prefers her lab and the Mage Tower, but sometimes she spends the night here, sleeping with Maya, and to be honest, Marin is more distressed about Cross - distressed about her past and background, and for Marin, Cross is sometimes more like a shadow of him.
They are orphans in the de facto sense, they are adopted, and they are struggling to survive in the world.
The only difference is that this girl is really fragrant, and he is nothing more than a stinky man.
This made Marlin a little regretful, but in any case, this fragrant Toby Bunny girl was like a cat, proud, lonely, but lonely.
Also, Marin swears that he has never seen any dangerous picture books.
Finally, there was Lilim, the little lamb who had been there almost all winter, and she knew about it at home, but had never gone out to look for her, which made Marlin sigh that the people of Fort Carter were simple, but also liked the little lamb's tail, which was as short as Kloss.
Wait a minute, is my aesthetic a little distorted?
Marin scratched his head, looked at the art on the wall, came to see old Hoffman today, and he said that he had helped Marin find a trial.
I didn't say anything about the trial, which made Marin a little curious - it's still the tail of winter, and the spirits are either hibernating in the wild or doing weird with their tails between their legs in the city, after all, in this season when humans are squatting at home, there is only one standard process for any spirit with an iron head, and that is to die.
"By the way, Colin, how does this guy look like someone owes him money." Marin has always been very curious about the guy on this painting, saying that he is his senior brother, but he joined the army early and fell in love with Chaos in the north, and Marin only knows that this guy is a little interested, his face is so stinky and I don't owe him money.
"Ma Sen will be very helpless when he hears you say this, his face is like this, there is no way." Colin smiled and explained, "By the way, you did a good job of keeping your trial secrets secret this time, I asked the instructor, and he didn't tell me." β
"Really...... I'm a little curious. Marin pouted, then glanced at Hoffman Sr.'s office, just in time to see his mentors push open the door.
What followed was an angry scolding from old Hoffman: "Marin said that if you want to learn, you dare to teach!" He can even do the Five Rings now! If something happens to him! I'll hang you on the top of the cathedral! β
"You're learning the Five Rings again?" Colin looked at his little junior brother, and that face seemed to be looking at a monster that could walk on two hind legs.
"Yes, Faye will have six rings, I can't recognize all five rings, and it's shameless to say it." Marin replied evasively.
"Faye is three years older than you." Colin gave Marin a roll of his eyes: "You're only twelve years old after spring." β
"Marlin! In! Old Hoffman's cry interrupted the conversation between the two brothers, and Marin trotted into the office, and first smiled at the old manβold Hoffman was notoriously cold-hearted, and gave him a smile, even if he threw him out of the tower and smashed it into the lake, he would add an extra feather.
You must know that the surface of the lake at this time of year is frozen, and if you don't smash your neck crookedly, then the fun will be great.
"Today's trial is a joint mission with the Church of Justice, they will give you a briefing on the mission, take my token and go to the Church of Justice to find that old thing."
"No problem."
Catching the emblem thrown by old Hoffman, Marin gave the old man a sweet smile.
"You guy, get out, I'm afraid I'll throw you out of the window in anger." The old man laughed and scolded Marin.
So Marin didn't say a word, beckoned a hand and ran away.
Colin accompanied Marin down the tower, and when he walked out, he also advised Marin: "To go to the Church of Justice to do things, the most important thing is to see the six roads and listen to the eight directions, if you feel that something is wrong, I suggest you run quickly." β
"Huh?" Marin wondered if his senior brother had taken the wrong medicine today.
"What, you don't understand, I followed them to do a joint mission back then, and those apprentices found a cultist gathering ground, and rushed up without saying a word, so that I also rushed up, and finally won the battle, and those fools asked me why I followed." Speaking of this, Colin's face was very bad, and it seemed that he had thought of something that should not be thought of: "I said, didn't you rush forward, in the words of the southern Thais, I sacrificed my life to accompany the gentleman." Then they told me that I should run away at that time, and that if I win, I would be able to send a message to the Bishop, so that the reinforcements could come and kill the whole family of these bastards, and collect their corpses by the way. β
Marin was almost swept away by this answerβhow could the people of the Church of Justice be so iron-headed.
"This is just the normal operation of the Church of Justice, so you must be careful when you enter the mission area, I know you kid can fight, but that cultist is not a good man and a woman." Colin patted Marlin on the head, and outside the church lobby door, he watched Marlin get into the carriage.
When the carriage disappeared into the distance of the street, Colin sighed.
The halfling mentor Calmo standing beside him was a little curious: "Colin, why are you sighing. β
"Because I think that if I say so much, Marin will not listen to me, and if there is really anything evil, he will definitely rush forward with those crazy people." Colin crossed his hands on his waist and replied helplessly.
"Isn't it very good, I think Ma Lin has learned very well, even if he suffers a loss, he can't suffer a big loss, ordinary cultists can't keep him at all, besides, it doesn't have to be a cultist." Carmo said as he looked at Colin.
To this, Colin waved his hand: "No, you don't know about the Church of Justice, these guys are to cultists what fish are to cats. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Marin came to the Church of Justice, and the fair girl who had cooperated before stood at the door, and Marin said hello to her - this girl is wearing a beautiful leather cuirass and thick cloth shirt today, a leather skirt around her waist, and iron boots look very beautiful, and she doesn't look like she is wearing a few pieces overall, but judging from her performance, she is likely to have become a fair paladin - the fair paladin ladder ten can ignore the ambient temperature, which is nothing to her.
"Why am I here? I'll pick you up. Marin's answer was such an answer, and the girl led Marin to the church: "By the way, I heard that you have obtained a holy relic?" β
The twig of the World Tree may be an artifact in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of the Just Church, it is a standard relic.
Marin stretched out his right hand, and a small branch around his forearm poked out.
"It's interesting, it looks like it's self-aware, right?"
"Yes." If it were someone else, Marin wouldn't necessarily say it, but if it was someone from the just church, he would have said it.
"Then this time our mission will be much simpler, after all, you can fight." That's what the fair girl thinks when she looks at Marin.
"Wait a minute, what are we going to do?"
"Mobik Manor north of the city, news came yesterday that the Manor has been unpopulated for a while, but according to Fort Carter's records, the Mobique family, the owners of Mobick Manor, just returned from the north two months ago." So said the fair girl.
"Are they crazy, can their family stand the cold winter at Fort Carter?" Marin followed the fair girl into the church hall, and when she said this, Marin felt that the family's brains were frozen.
"Presumably, after all, their family lives in the north and near the harbor city." The fair girl turned her head and said.
"Matilda, who is he?" A young man looked at him with an unkind face.
"It's Mr. Marin, our joint operation with the Harvest Goddess Church, who is our reinforcement." The just girl frowned, and when she turned her head to look at Marin, her face was full of apologies: "Some young people always like to live a life where everything is under control, but they never think that such a life may not even have kingdoms and legends. β
"I understand." Marin smiled.
"Marlin?" Maybe it was because Marin had been squatting at home for too long recently, or maybe he had been squatting like this for too long, and the young man who didn't recognize Marin snorted: "Is there no one in the Harvest Goddess Church, let such a little cub come and send him to death." β
Without saying a word, Marin pulled out his white gloves and threw them at his face.
Little cub, it's time for you to see the blood and let you experience the iron fist of socialism from another world.
The glove flew halfway and stopped, an old man caught it, and then handed it to Marin with a smile: "Come, Marin, your glove is off." β
Marin was silent for a moment and decided to give face to the bishop of the Just Church, who, according to Hoffman Sr., grew up in an orphanage as a young man, and along the way, his friends died, his lover died, and twenty years ago, he was the only one left in his class of apprentices.
For a hero, Marin did not hesitate to pay respect, so he reached out and took the glove.
The little cub finally reacted at this time: "You find me to duel!" He screamed, then pulled out his gloves as well.
This time, the old man glanced at the guard of his own house, who immediately reached out and tugged at his collar.
"Shut him up, speak ill of his friends from the Friendship Sect, and tell his father that if there is a next time, I will not stop the duel between him and Lord Marin."
"Yes, Your Excellency, your will." The Guardian dragged the little cub away, who had wanted to scold, but had been cursed - don't think that the Church of Justice disdains to use curses, such as silence, and there is no more effective way to silence the little bastards.
Marin pursed his lips, greeted the old man, and continued to follow the fair girl Matilda into the inner area, while asking a small question: "Your suitor." β
"No, it's just an apprentice who has just entered the church, he originally studied in the Church of the God of War, but I don't know why he converted to the God of Justice, and we are also very confused." Matilda said this, her big pretty ears twitching, "I'm not his girlfriend, I don't even have any hair. β
"Me too, you're too big a blow." Marin said with a smile.
"You're different, Marlin." Matilda replied with a smile.
Marin raised an eyebrow, finally deciding to take this answer as Matilda's kindness to him.
Then again, Matilda's tail swings differently than Jessica, who wiggles very randomly, while Matilda swings as delicately as a pendulum.
β¦β¦ Wait a minute, is my aesthetic really wrong?
With this doubt in mind, Marin followed Matilda into the side hall of the Church of Justice.
As soon as he entered, Marlin saw his old acquaintance: "Hi, Jon. β
"Oh my God, how could it be you!" Jon, who was preparing his musket, immediately exclaimed in surprise when he looked up and saw Marin, "I'm starting to worry about the difficulty of this task now." β
"What do you mean?" Marin was a little confused.
"Now there are a lot of people who say that you are a carrier of bad luck who can walk, a troublemaker who can create things when you have nothing to do, and a team of chaotic undertakers who can spawn a spirit by killing a spirit." Jon shrugged his shoulders as he said this, "The third title came out recently, and it seems to have happened when you followed Sheila and the others on their mission. β
Marin looked melancholy.
What is this? Am I that scary? If yes, one of the guys in front of me is straining on the spot.
Just thinking so, a young man suddenly covered his neck: "I, my stomach hurts so much!" β
Marin watched as he was helped out of the side hall, and there was an air called embarrassment in the air.
Marin turned his head and rolled his eyes.
When will I be able to do this without opening the pot?
