054. The Church of Knowledge

A beam of magical aura that exuded a bit of divine luster fell on the dragon vein snow where the traces of battle were about to be buried by the blizzard, and it sank into it.

About ten seconds later, countless silver-gray points of light rose from all directions, like flowing fireflies, gathered together, turned into a piece of parchment, and fell into the hands of an old man.

"Event: The missing third Frost Crown. ”

"On 57 September 325, two members of the Illuminati ???、 Bruce, the second prince of Saraphos, Mular, the heir of the Sand Mountain, Dolores, the heir of the Ice Temple, Talos, the son of the Grand Duke of the Black Sea, Barry, the high priest of the Church of the Goddess of Poison, the Mermaid, and Maeve, the princess of the United Kingdom of Mermaids, searched for the Frost Crown on a nascent dragon vein on the island of Mosanhoek in the Caspihai Sea, and then disappeared, and the whereabouts of the Frost Crown are unknown. ”

Twenty-two minutes later, Archbishop Penelope of the Church of Knowledge used a magic log, done. ”

"Sure enough, right here, a newborn dragon vein, poor Black Dragon Marcas. An old voice said, "The members of the Illuminati have anti-prophecy spells or related magic items on them, blocking my high divine skills. But at least it proved our guess right. ”

As soon as the words fell, a terrible blizzard suddenly appeared out of thin air on the dragon vein, as if an invisible container filled with wind and snow appeared in mid-air, pouring everything inside, and the sight was suddenly white.

With a bang and several exclamations, a large group of figures were thrown out of a twisted whirlpool, some Naga, some frogmen, and some mermaids, and fell heavily on the snow.

"Tár—"

A figure that swam quickly from a short distance was Dolores.

In the past few minutes, the Naga Witch had simply been trapped in the Frost Crown by Urban I, and had not fought Bruce like Talos, so not even a single hair was messy.

She helped Talos to her feet and asked with concern, "Are you okay? ”

"I'm fine. ”

Like the other frogmen and mermaids who fell on the snow, there was a blank look on Talos's face, and his expression was not fake, but genuinely dominated by a wave of horror and worry, because of Urban I's last words about Maeve.

Most likely, Maeve is one of theirs!

Who they were, Talos didn't know, and it wasn't something he could explore at this stage as a high-ranking bloodline knight, and in light of Urban I's repeated admonitions, the four-armed Naga was trying to remove the questions related to them from his mind.

What's more, more than this, Talos is more concerned about the question at hand - was his surprise attack on the battlefield of Strasbourg by Lydia and Morgana because Maeve saw some kind of future fragment related to the Soul Fire or the Chosen One, or was it simply a strategic necessity?

If it was the latter, Talos wouldn't have to face the mysterious Maeve too soon, and if it was the former, he would be in a terrible trouble.

Now think about it carefully, the places where the Frost Crown has appeared twice in succession, Black Dragon Island in the Arctic Ocean and Mosanhoek Island in the Caspihai Sea, have Maeve's figure haunting.

Perhaps from the very beginning, her goal was very clear, the Frost Crown and Urban I.

Talos grabbed Dolores' hand and got up from the ground, as he looked around quickly in a meditative way to find the figure of the mermaid princess Maeve.

Mural, Tynan, the Great Priestess of the Frog with a Bright Feather Headdress......

Finally, Maeve's figure appeared in Talos' sight, a small smile tugging at the corner of her mouth, listening carefully to the reports of the Shark-Man Bloodline Knight and the Mermaid Warlock, as if nothing had happened just now.

Talos quickly retracted his gaze, sensing the world of the watch, where Medusa was wearing the Frost Crown on her head, a few snake hairs wrapped around it.

He knew that since the others had successfully returned to the main material plane, Maeve's expulsion from the Frost Crown meant that the last consciousness and imprint of the former evil god of the Holy Land, the founder of the ancient Sadinian dynasty, and Urban I, had completely dissipated.

"The Second Prince of the Golden Empire and the two members of the Illuminati are gone!" Mural said to Talos and Dolores as he swam in with Tynan and Adelaide, "We were trapped in a snowy field just now, and it is likely that it has something to do with Urban I's treasure, the Frost Crown. ”

"You mean there's a high chance that the Frost Crown will fall into the hands of the missing Bruce and the Illuminati?" Dolores immediately understood Mular's subtext.

Mural nodded: "I can't rule out this possibility." ”

"But—"

Dolores was still a little puzzled by this, but Tainan reminded him very vigilantly: "Your Highness, the people from the Temple of Order and Knights and the Church of Knowledge are here. ”

As a great druid who believes in the dragon of the earth, Tynan has a bad sense of the Church of the Gods, especially the gods of order and knighthood, which have been the most powerful in the human camp in recent centuries.

Looking in the direction of Tynan's finger, Talos realized that the clergy of the Temple of Order and Knights and the Church of Knowledge mentioned by Urban I earlier had just focused all his attention on Maeve and didn't notice it at the first time.

The three members of the Temple of Order and Knight were all flying in the air, although the number was small, but because of Urban I's jealous attitude, Talos observed very carefully: two men and one woman, priests, Templars and Paladins respectively, their clothes were gorgeous and exquisite, and their temperament was very good, he could judge their basic strength without the help of the Eye of Illusion, the fourth order.

On the other hand, as a native force in the Southern Andes, the Knowledge Church has more people coming to the Dragon Vein, about twenty, led by two white-haired archbishops, a man and a woman.

The former wears a monocle and looks polite, like a knowledgeable old professor and is in good spirits, while the latter is on a scepter more than a man tall and looks like the kind of noble lady who has been pampered in the magic manor all her life, holding a piece of parchment that exudes a magical aura in her hand, and is curiously looking at the people who have just come out of the inner space of the Frost Crown.

Truth be told, compared to the three people of the Temple of Order and Knighthood, the priest of the Church of Knowledge looks much more pleasing to the eye.

But in the next second, Talos decided to retract the evaluation.

"Gusardin, Urban. In twelve dark years, the blasphemers perished. But we all know, we all know, that the Evil Frost Crown is divided into three, one in order and one in ......wealth."

The old man's gaze slowly swept over everyone, and in a chanting tone, he recounted the history of Urban I and the Frost Crown.

When the content came to the whereabouts of the last Frost Crown, he chanted his doubts in the form of an aria: "Naga, frogmen, and mermaids who came because of the Frost Crown, I sincerely ask you here, if you ......."

The corners of Talos's mouth twitched twice, and sure enough, he shouldn't expect too much from some priests of the Knowledge Church.

The God of Knowledge is an ancient deity who has long been able to ascend to great power with the two priesthoods of [Knowledge] and [Wisdom], and began to extend the realm of the priesthood to [Records] and [Literature] two centuries ago, and its power is one step closer.

According to the knowledge that Talos had gained from the web and the Nepton family library, the god of knowledge was the favorite of the gods to descend in the main physical plane to play on the human world in an avatar, and it is recorded almost once every century.

He often appears as a young handsome aristocratic young man, a bard or a scholar by profession, who likes to tell philosophical and thoughtful stories or poems to the sound of the harp, if he has a small harp in his hand.

Some priests of the Church of Knowledge try to imitate the way of speaking of the incarnation of the God of Knowledge, a special aria with neat sentences and rhyming sentences, and think that it is one of the correct ways to practice the path of the God of Knowledge, and the old man in front of him is obviously one of them.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it, I don't know. ”

Tynan stood behind the three of Talos and whispered a few words, and Talos withdrew his gaze from the parchment in the old woman's hand and replied succinctly.

After being reminded by the Grand Druid, Talos knew that the parchment in the old woman's hand was most likely the result of "Logging", a higher divine technique derived from the [Record] priesthood, which could directly obtain an objective description of the event itself from the material plane.

In terms of information gathering, there are prophetic faction spells in the field of magic, and there are different methods in the field of magic, the most famous of which is the magic related to the [record] priesthood of the Church of Knowledge.

- Many years ago, the priest of the Church of the God of History was better at digging out the truth from [History] and [Past], but with the fall of the God of History, all related magic became ineffective.

Mural smiled and nodded at the two archbishops of the Knowledge Church, "If you don't mind, we still have to find the whereabouts of the Frost Crown on this dragon vein." ”

"Wait—" In the sky, the Grand Knight of the Temple of Order and Knights suddenly shouted loudly.

He looked at everyone condescendingly, raised his chin slightly, and announced in a business-like and tough tone: "The members of the Illuminati have appeared on the dragon vein, and according to the Convention, I now ask you to cooperate with the temple investigation." ”
