Li Qi missed saying that Lao Cao and Lao Cao would arrive, but there was no Lao Cao here......

The person who came was none other than the White Bird Knight and his attendants, but the White Bird Knight was not one of the two middle-aged men, nor was it the short-haired girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but a woman who looked to be in her early twenties and her actual age was unclear.

The light blue long hair has a goose egg face, and the turquoise eyes are somewhat similar to Finney, bright and dazzling, and it seems to hide the vicissitudes of life.

This is an extremely beautiful woman, her slightly frowning brow and pursing the corners of her mouth make her diffuse a thick solemn pressure, no matter where she is, she is the kind of central character.

"I'm Su Enna, the Ninth White Bird, and I'm cruising the south, and I've noticed a disaster here. ”

This female legend did not deliberately restrain her breath, and the power similar to the divine power of justice covered Li Qi and others, and pricked a little pimple on their skin, which was not sharp, and there was a trace of warmth.

"You're an adventurer sent by Count Dirichrin, aren't you? ”

The female legend named Su Enna examined them, and her words revealed the background of the discord between the White Bird Knight and the nobles of the kingdom, but this was not the focus of Li Qi's concern.

Reporting the identity of the pseudonym and the wandering Mirage group, fearing that the White Bird Knight would continue to review his identity, Li Qi said: "I heard that a village has fallen in, and if you move quickly, you may be able to rescue the survivors." ”

The witch armaments worn by Richie, Tina and others are all attached to the camouflage module, which is still reconstructed with micro-magic technology. Even if the other party is a legend, it stands to reason that they can't see through their true bodies. At most, it can be seen that Tina is a night professional, Karin is a druid, Retana is the divine knight of Donfin, and Li Qi is like a priest of the fallen goddess of suffering, all of whom are level four or five.

However, this is a kingdom with a history of tens of thousands of years, who knows what special abilities these white bird knights have, and Li Qi doesn't dare to be too big.

"There is a big difference between your inside and out......"

Su Enna squinted slightly, and her words were full of "What else are you pretending to be, your cecum has been seen through by me".

"But Shiratori didn't warn me that you did come with good intentions. You're right, it's important to save people. ”

She looked at the two boys who were starry but timidly hiding behind, "But do you want to go down with two civilian children?"

Li Qi spread his hands: "It's just as dangerous to let them stay here." ”

The boy named Lenny has a slick bald scoop: "We're not a burden, I'll hide it well!"

The freckled face called Jairo: "I will install a stone statue, and I won't move during a meal!"

Su Enna snorted, "Then the responsibility to protect them is yours, if you can't do it, I won't be polite." ”

He is a legend and powerful in the kingdom, but he does not regard the common people as a mustard. Looking at the plain clothes of her and her attendants, Li Qi secretly sighed, such a character is simply a saint of the eternal order.

"So ......"

Su Enna looked at the deep crack, pulled out the long sword at her waist, stuck it on the ground, and the faint golden light overflowed on itself, and then penetrated into the ground from the sword body.

The power covering Li Qi and the others disappeared, the ground trembled slightly, the smoke and dust gushed, the soil under the sword disappeared, and there was an inclined ditch two or three meters wide and hundreds of meters deep on the edge of the crack. The whole furrow was cut unusually neatly, so that the two children could not stop talking with straight eyes.

"Demonstration, hum ......"

Karin was unhappy and sent a text message on the team channel: "Change my transformation, and directly blow up this mountain!"

Then it was recognized as the evil demonic beast in the mirage that stood on top of the sky and the earth and fought with the ancestor?

Richie rolled his eyes back, but it was a demonstration, warning them to put away any strange thoughts they might have.

Tina noticed the anomaly: "This power is a bit like the divine power of pain, is it the divine power of the Lord of the Dawn?"

Li Qi also had a sense, and it seemed that this ninth white bird believed in the Lord of Dawn.

So far, the Intelligence Bureau has not figured out how these White Bird Knights gained their power from the fallen gods, and if they use the large computing array of the Micro Magic Research Institute to analyze it, they should be able to find something, but unfortunately no White Bird Knights are willing to cooperate.

Let's take a step at a time, and first figure out what happened below and how it relates to Finney's anomaly.

Just as he was about to descend the sloping ditch that Sunna had opened, there was a neighing from behind, and the horse that Karin had ridden was finally crushed by fear, and broke free of the ropes tied to the tree, spreading its hooves and rushing away.

In plain sight, the Sifern pack horse let out a cry of joy like a run to freedom, leaped down, and fell into a crack of unknown depth.

Under the strange gazes of the White Bird Knight and the attendants, Li Qi sighed: "I said Karin......"

Karin was stunned: "Don't ask me, I really haven't done anything!"

Retana thought of something: "Did you come to that?"

Karin covered her face: "Not really!And even if it's that, how can this be!?"

Li Qi hurriedly explained that the horse should have accidentally eaten the psychedelic grass in the mountains, and used the skill of the fourth level of the circle field to expose the matter.

Ignoring this episode, the encounter with the White Bird Knight and the upcoming adventure can be considered a standard progression.

..................

Towards dusk, deep in the savannah, by the river bay, there are many tents and several wooden and stone buildings, which are the steppe towns that can be found everywhere in the kingdom of Betamund.

In the dimly lit corner of the tavern, four people wrapped their bodies tightly in hoods and cloaks, eating and drinking silently.

Tasmi, Ankaret, Xili, and the eldest sister, they are not afraid of being seen, but they feel cold. From the bottom of my heart, the biting cold, even rum can't warm the body and mind.

"Ankaret!"

Xiyili snatched the bottle from the black-haired girl's hand: "You can't drink anymore, we have to keep going!"

The black-haired girl didn't react, but suddenly pulled out her sword, startling Tasmi to almost jump.

Ankaret didn't make a move on Xiyili, the tip of her sword pointed at the outside of the table, and the eldest sister stood up with her dagger in her hand.

The tip of the sword was held up by a finger sticking out of the darkness, and a voice as low as if squeezed out of the abyss said, "I have no ill intentions, I just want to talk to you." ”

Tasmi felt the air around him become slimy, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the table next to him was actually crowded far away, as if his own table had been swallowed by some strange barrier, which made his heart tingle.

A hand slapped on Tasmi's body, and the cold power took away his whole body strength and even the control of his body, and he couldn't even turn his neck, so he could only sit and listen.

A man sat down next to Tasmi, and judging from the look of the eldest sister and Ankaret, he should not be able to see his face clearly, only the serpent-like voice.

"Najhita, I'll do something for Princess Podina......"

What kind of emblem did that person show, which made the vigilance in the right eye of the eldest sister's head lower a lot.

"The princess thinks that you may not be able to handle the Syndica, after all, you have just come out of the north, and you are not familiar with this boiling new era, let me pick you up. Looks like you've got it done, it's just...... A very costly look. ”

Including Tasmi, the four of them were shocked in their hearts, and it was done?

The man sighed and understood: "Then it wasn't you who got it, it's just that Syndica was unlucky and was ...... The remnants of the Demon Navy were easily solved. ”

Although he didn't know what was going on, Tasmi felt a burning sour rush rush into his throat, Syndica was dead!

And then there was a great deal of panic, what about Yusha?

"Even the slaves were taken away by them, and they did it really cleanly......"

The man's words made Tasmi want to scream that it was too good, and then his heart fell into the ice cellar again.

Wait, wasn't that kidnapped by the Red Devils?

The man continued: "Anyway, you have acted, Syndica is dead, and the princess will approve of your efforts. And you and Ankaret are still alive, and the princess welcomes you to Valentine and be her help. ”

The eldest sister lowered her head and said bitterly: "You are right, the world in the south is like a boiling oil pot, and we people have been abandoned in the shadow of time. What else can we do? how can we be a princess if we can't even deal with a little slave trader?"

The man chuckled: "Indeed, if you still cling to the ideas of the old era, you will be crushed by the historical wheel of the new era, and then buried in the soil as fertilizer." ”

"However, the preciousness of mortals lies in their change, and no matter how the times change, they can always adapt to it, and then rely on their own will and ingenuity to exert what may be greater than the old era. ”

And the old era is not completely abandoned, and the history of Finn's tens of thousands of years in these epochs is being stirred up little by little by the turmoil of the new era. The power hidden in it may be far greater than this commotion. ”

"I can see the sadness of losing your teammates, and the confusion of the new era, and the frustration and even despair that comes from it. But...... You are alive, your soul is still your own, and you are happy enough compared to the thousands of souls struggling in the underworld, purgatory, and the abyss. ”

"You still have a future, and it depends on whether you are willing to leave the past behind and reverently welcome a new world. In a time when the gods frowned, let their name appear in the bard's writings, and even in the accounts of the omniscient. ”

The man's account was emotionless, but like the devil who was best at seducing mortals, it made Tasmi's heart burn.

Absolutely!

"You ......"

The eldest sister asked with a hint of fear on her head, and asked with more respect: "It must be some big person next to Her Royal Highness the Princess, right?"

The man laughed again: "No, I'm just hers...... Friend. ”

He threw the emblem on the table, and the figure vanished, leaving only the faint words: "When you get to Valentine, take this to the public station in Northburg to find the caretaker." Remember, avoid the Holy See, especially the Inquisitionists. ”

The slimy feeling vanished, and the voices that had been separated from the distance rushed in, and Tasmi realized that the force that had covered them was gone.

There was a clattering sound on the table, it was the handle of the dagger in the eldest sister's hand knocking on the tabletop, not intentionally, but the eldest sister's head was trembling.

"It's a ...... Very...... Very awesome guy......"

The eldest sister tried her best to control her arm, and said with emotion: "It's a legend, and it's not an ordinary legend, fortunately it's not our enemy." ”

Ankaret nodded silently as she looked at the bayonet with the blade curled in a circle at the tip.

"That's good news!"

Xiyili raised her wine glass and tried to boost her morale: "At least the princess approved of us!"

The four wooden wine glasses clashed together, and the splash of wine was like a rekindled fire in their hearts.

In a tent on the edge of town, the man who had just spoken to the remnants of the Dark Moon Light waved a light curtain, and the white-haired old man in the light curtain was Cardinal Brinto, the Holy See of Order.

"The Red Devil's Floating Ship has no valuable parts left......"

"I want to say...... Do you have to do something like this?"

"Or is the empress gone, and the goddess won't ask about the trivial matters of mortals, so you think you can ride on my neck and give orders?"

"Don't forget, I can communicate directly with the goddess, I can get the oracle!"

The man said coldly, not at all afraid of Brinto, who held one of the supreme powers of the empire.

Brinto said leisurely, "Okay, McGore, don't think I don't know that you're taking the opportunity to help those people. I'm actually opening the door for you to keep that secret organization alive. Otherwise the new emperor ...... Of course, the main thing is that Offrin, and Baudouin's gang, who have already branded your gang as evil heretics in the name of adjusting the imperial institutions. ”

McGore frowned, as if surprised by the other party's willingness to take a stand, he quickly calmed down and asked, "So, you still decided to ...... with Baudouin."

Brynto said ambiguously: "It's not the point where I stand, it's what you, McGore, should stand for." ”

His tone became aggressive: "I know you're going around and around, with the Tangus brothers, Simbner, Mosmut, Zold, and even Hathaway, and you're hooking up with Podina's gang of northerners who are dissatisfied with the Holy See, and honestly you're like a lost dog." ”

McGore just snorted and didn't react violently, and Brynto continued, "But you have forgotten me, do you not want to be tied to me?" But we've been bound together since the Empress was a mortal, and when she was a Theresia. ”

"Have you forgotten what I told you a long time ago, the Empress will eventually rise above us, and the mortal world will belong to us. ”

"Isn't it time now? What are you afraid of joining hands with me?"

McGore said in a low voice, "Because I don't know what you want......"

Brinto chuckled, much like McGore's laughter at the four men in Dark Moonlight: "We are all people who are destined not to go to the front desk to bask in the glory and glory, McGore, but you can also see that the people who stand in the front desk and enjoy the glory are puppets." ”

"The eternal order of the Goddess is coming, and the world will be divided into light and darkness. The Night Lady has confirmed her fall, and as the arms of the Goddess of Order, shouldn't we, take on the responsibility of maintaining eternal order in the darkness?"

McGore sighed, "I still don't understand, but are you so optimistic? Lady Crimson, for her part, will not sit idly by and watch the arrival of Eternal Order." ”

"It doesn't matter......"

Brynto said: "Whether it is loyal to the Divine Court, the Holy See of Order, the Empress or the Goddess, no matter what the order, there will always be two sides. Didn't you go to purgatory, talk to Gorazk? ”

A pair of eyes under the hood lit up: "If you're talking about this level, then I vaguely understand." ”

Brynto nodded, "Then let's continue to work together, McGore, I know you're wavering over the obscurity of the oracle." Don't be stubborn, even I, the cardinal, have a hard time receiving clear oracles, only vague tasks are specified, how can you overcome me?"

"So, you go ahead and reach out to those people, but instead of going to them, you carefully select the people who will be useful to us and wait for the right moment. ”

McGore hummed, and the light curtain vanished.

After spending a while in the tent, McGore sighed, "It's really a new boiling new era......
