The Arondawa Crater is located south of the entire continent of Vitlian, at the junction of Cedra and Uragon.

Because it is a valley, it is in the middle of the continental plate, and it is surrounded by mountains.

The humidity of the sea breeze does not blow here at all, and the weather is dry and hot all year round, and there is little or even rain.

Such a living environment is somewhat difficult for human beings who have not been modernized to adapt.

But for the orcs, it is freedom and bliss.

The large area surrounded by the crater mountain range stretches to the Ryunoya and the Spring Forest in the rear.

This is the base camp of the orcs.

They are accompanied by countless protists that have grown here since ancient times, and have lived here for a long time.

Not only are they at peace with each other, but they also get along very well.

Humans rarely set foot here.

In addition to the environment and resources, there is not much demand, and more importantly-

Humans, whether orcs or protists, seem to be very popular.

Selfishness, cunning, and greed are synonymous with humanity in the realm of Alondava.

Of course, it wasn't like it at the beginning.

After suffering enough losses, the creatures in the simple and upright mountain area also have a full understanding of human beings.

This bias has been around for a long time.

may have to start at the earliest, when the human king Wallenda used a broken painting to deceive the countless fine iron of the Angu orcs.

In the human world, it has always been talked about as a joke and talking point.

The innocence and ignorance of the orcs contrasts with the insidious cunning of humans.

But what's inherently wrong? Art and wisdom are priceless, right?

Lin Xiao originally thought that what Leona wanted to go to would be the Valley of the Dragon, but he didn't expect that from the direction described by Xiaolong, it didn't seem to be like that.

The direction in which the three of them headed was perfectly intertwined with the Land of the Dragon Valley, pointing far away to the other end of the Ring Mountains, the Spring Forest.

What will be there?

Lin Xiao was still a little curious for the time being, but he also waited patiently.

Playing with the softness of Miss Knight, this boring journey is not just monotonous and boring.

Just before they were about to enter the crater.

In Lin Xiao's perception, an aura that could be called powerful even among the sages was quietly pestled on their path.

And, as Leona kept getting closer and closer, a strong holy light shone down in the air, shining straight in front of them.

There's nothing offensive about it, or rather, it's more like a greeting.

The people of the Mithril Church finally can't help it?

In Lin Xiao's heart, he didn't care.

However, as the guardian of Vitleyan, it would be strange if he had not reacted to his unscrupulous move to open the gate of the abyss.

Judging from this gentle way, this group of people does not look like they have come to Xingshi to ask for sin.

The matter of Uragorn and Cedra has been spreading for some time.

If you want to encircle and suppress him, this extremely powerful Lord of Ruins, it is obviously not enough to have only one Saint-level archbishop.

As for what they want to do, now that they've been invited, just take a look.

Lin Xiao patted Leona's back and told her to come down.

High in the sky, Parod was quietly waiting there with a few Templars and two elders.

As a team personally appointed by the Pope, a bishop, plus a few ascetics of the Templars, did not show too much wariness and hostility.

And the two elders of the Elder Church, although they are not necessarily outstanding in strength, in the Mithril Church, they are both highly respected and knowledgeable elders.

In terms of identity, it also shows enough attention.

All the old Pope wanted was to have a calm exchange with Lin Xiao.

After all, his movements are getting bigger and bigger, and the whole continent is about to know about it.

Even the old Pope couldn't hold his breath and had to do something.

The door to the abyss cannot be opened lightly.

Parod clasped his hands in front of his chest, as he usually did, his fingers tapping lightly on the backs of his hands.

When he thinks about it, he almost always does.

The archbishop didn't expect that the old pope's tolerance for Lin Xiao would reach the point where it is now.

What did that old man know about the time realm wheel?

Ever since he had a disagreement with the old Pope over the issue of dealing with those who were out of this world, Parod had always wanted to do something.

However, now is not the time.

Although there are many people in the Church, there are already many people who are dissatisfied with the old pope's protection of the relics.

But after years of rule, the old pope still has a lot of power, and he still has a group of deep-rooted supporters.

Rash action will only outweigh the gains.

However, he will never let go of those damn otherworldly people.

Cromwell, the best young man in the Templars, his own child, his pride, still lay like a dead corpse for ten years.

This feud, no matter what, Parod could not let go.

So, can you do something from the Lord of the Ruins?

It would be great if it could hit the prestige of the old Pope and succeed in causing turmoil in the Mithril Church.

It's just that all this has to be built on Lin Xiao, what kind of person he is.

Whether to secretly reach a cooperation, or simply provoke the conflict between the ruins and the Mithril Church, depends on Lin Xiao's attitude.

In Parod's heart, something was silently planned.

In front of him, the rumored Yan Dragon also flapped its wings and slowly lowered its body.

With a thud, Leona gathered her wings and came to a steady stop at the entrance to the Arondawa Crater.

The dragon's head was raised, and he looked curiously at the few small bodies in front of him.

"Your Majesty, we are here on behalf of His Holiness the Pope and hope to ......"

As soon as the dragon's body stopped, Parod immediately changed into a formulaic smile and bowed slightly.

Although he has a lot of ideas in his heart, he has always done a good job on the surface.

It's just that he was only halfway through his words, and when he looked up, he saw clearly the person who walked slowly down the dragon wings.

Parod's voice trembled, and his pupils twitched violently.

"It's !! you"

Despite Parod's words, he has long been accustomed to hiding his emotions.

But such a voice in extreme astonishment still revealed some flavor of horror and anger.

Lin Xiao raised the corner of her eyes and looked at Parod.

The archbishop in front of him, who looked to be in his forties, had no impression of himself.

He was a little strange, was he being treated for someone?

Without Lin Xiao opening his mouth, one of the two elders behind Parod spoke:

"Parod, you know?"

I can't think too much about the intersection of the church and the lord of the ruins, the last time Nadarax appeared, it was a thousand years ago.

Parod picked the corners of his mouth without smiling:

"Of course I know, the prestige of the Lord of the Ruins has long spread throughout Vitleyan, who wouldn't recognize it!"
