Chapter 522: The Ice Queen and the Tacit Understanding
Night.
The small town of Kuman.
It was already the base camp of the Holy See for the Holy See and the warriors of several nations.
A pure light enveloped the entire barracks, staining everything with a sense of sacredness.
Outside the barracks, there are several squads of warriors led by the priests of the Holy See of Light, patrolling and scouting the vicinity to prevent the Dark Witch from attacking at night.
The night is the home of the Black Witch Queen, and it is the most powerful time of the day.
In the same way, daytime is the domain of the servants of the Lord of Light.
Although the power of the Lord of Light is not limited to day, and night cannot obscure the glory of the Lord of Light, it is true that the power of the Light Priests is stronger during the day than at night.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The young Light Priest Richard von Augustus, with a calm face, patrolled the area assigned to him, guarded by a band of skilled warriors.
He didn't seem to be in a very good mood, and his face was gloomy, so that the entire warrior squad was a little trembling, and he didn't dare to breathe in the atmosphere, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Born into the aristocracy, Richard had never been liked by Bishop Ivan, the bishop of his diocese, at least that's what Richard thought.
Ivan was born in poverty, and he climbed to this point step by step by relying on his personal piety to the Lord and his sense of the Light.
He prefers the Holy Light Sacrifice to Romon, who is also from a civilian background.
Ivan never assigned Romon to such a tiring and risky job, and each time he prayed comfortably in the barracks.
Richard, on the other hand, is always targeted, Ivan always says that his belief in the Lord of Light is not pure enough, and he needs to purify his faith in the experience and strengthen his faith in the Light, so that he can feel the glory of the Lord more.
This kind of patrol work is something that Ivan feels is conducive to purifying Richard's faith, so every time he is assigned to Ivan's indicators, Richard must be on the list, the kind that can't escape, even if he says that he is sick, it is unavoidable.
In the long run, Richard, of course, will inevitably have resentment, and resentment is still accumulating day by day.
The priest is in a bad mood, where can the elite warriors of these countries have a comfortable life?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Richard's squad had just passed by another patrol team, and the two priests with the emblem in their hands looked at each other in a friendly manner, and the emblem that had been applied "Detect Evil" shone brightly, and then the two teams staggered and headed towards their respective patrol areas.
The two emblems also dimmed immediately.
Only when the evil force is detected will the emblem light up again.
And for the Lord of Light, as long as it is other forces, it is evil.
Of course, this is just a simple magic spell that may be useful for ordinary wizards, but high-level wizards have the ability to hide themselves.
Detecting evil does not necessarily detect evil!
Richard's party walked into the shadowy forest, the boundary of his patrol area and the last place he wanted to be.
The darkness of the jungle always gave him a feeling of unease.
He squeaked as he stepped on the fine, dry branch, and it seemed so harsh in the silence that his heart thumped.
"No, I must apply when I go back, and I must not be sent to carry out this mission again. I'm a noble priest of the Holy Light, a member of the Augustus family, how could I do such a dangerous thing! My life is to be put on a greater cause......" Richard once again rose in his heart with this firm conviction.
At this moment, near him, a black shadow creature suddenly appeared on the trunk of a tree full of misshapen nodules.
It picked up the longbow behind it, which was also made of shadows, and as soon as it pulled the string, a long arrow of pitch-black shadows was born out of thin air.
Shadow Hunter.
An otherworldly warrior summoned by the Black Witch Queen from the Shadow World.
Just as the shadow hunter drew his bow, the emblem in Richard's hand finally sensed the anomaly and released light.
Richard's heart jumped to his throat all of a sudden, and only the names of the sacrifices that died in battle flashed in his mind, and before he could do anything, a silent shadow arrow shot in front of him, easily breaking through the shield of holy light that was aroused on his body and inserting it into his head!

"Behind the Black Witch is the most powerful witch in the Northlands, the Queen of Ice! It is rumored that her power is infinitely close to that of the heroes of ancient times! ”
In the House of the Dwarves, seven dwarves told William about the extraordinary secrets of the land.
Sure enough, the seven dwarves and the Black Witch Queen were aware of each other's existence.
"Moreover, the Ice Queen still has a broken artifact left behind by the Ascender, even if it is the patriarch of the Holy Light Patriarch's See, the Lord's agent on the earth, and leaving the Holy Land, he may not be able to get the Ice Queen."
"Ice Queen, the power inherited comes from the power of the frost giant at the beginning of the creation, and it is rumored that the frost giant is the enemy of the gods!"
“……”
"Therefore, it is not that the Bishop of Light does not know the identity of the Black Witch Queen, but it is limited to the power of the existence behind her, and has to turn a blind eye."
"They have a tacit understanding with each other, if the Dark Witch wants to expand her power, she can't use the mysterious power, which is the power of the wizard. The wars of the sorcerers are attributed to the sorcerers, and the wars of the world are attributed to the world. ”
"Is that why I was able to get into the Dark Witch in the first place?" Listening to all this, William didn't know what it was like in his heart, and said.
"Well, you weren't a wizard at the beginning, you only had a strength and physique that surpassed ordinary people, and it didn't violate the tacit understanding between the Black Witch Queen and the Holy See." The dwarf at the head nodded and said.
William was silent.
"The Ice Queen originally wanted to make the Northland a ruin in the wizarding world, but she was helpless, although the Dark Witch Queen was very powerful, she was unwilling to be the real king of witches, she was only willing to ......"
"She is only willing to stay in the palace every day, and ask the magic mirror over and over again, the magic mirror and the magic mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?" William replied to the dwarf.
"Yes. But maybe it was this attitude of the Black Witch Queen that made the Holy See tolerate her existence for the time being? The dwarf said again.
"It's just that no one thought that the magic mirror would be stolen by you in the end! Moreover, no one expected that you, an ordinary person, were already a wizard when you appeared later. ”
"Who didn't think of that?"
"What is even more unthinkable is that you have done so many things to successfully provoke the Holy See of Light, and directly led to the loss of the tacit understanding between the Black Witch Queen and the Holy See, and the war started directly." The dwarf at the head said with some emotion.
"No one can see fate, can they?" William was silent for a moment before speaking.
