Count Hamish

Twenty-five years had passed since he was fifty-five years old, and his body was still very strong, and his eyes were deep and sharp, which was the characteristic of a knight who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had extraordinary martial arts, but the wrinkles and his breath showed that he had stepped into old age.

In the castle of Dubys, a small study, which is the office of the count.

At this moment, he was casually listening to a man of fifty years of age, gray-haired, and extremely elegant, and the nobles now had scholars, which was his brainchild.

"Mr. McCard, you have bad news for me!" Count Hamish said with a solemn expression.

"Yes, my men have found a secret meeting at Bart Manor, including Viscount Alec, Baron Dennis, Baron Quest, and Sir Paslow, as well as some of your opponents. In addition to these people, there is also a mysterious person who has been invited. The scholar said calmly, "This mysterious mission is likely to be a member of the Church of Light. ”

After thirty years of religious wars, the Holy See of Light has been greatly weakened, while other churches are openly rising and proselytizing, and this situation is naturally not tolerated by the Church of Light.

"Do you want to repeat history again?" Count Hamish nodded unexpectedly and said, now the count controls eight hundred square kilometers of land and owns the largest gold mine in the entire principality, which makes outsiders and even the grand duke very jealous.

Count Hamish pondered silently and knocked on the table.

"Count, you can trust the loyalty of the knights, but what I fear is that some kind of attempt at death is not necessarily unreasonable, Count, you must watch your own safety."

"My dear McCard!" The Count said, "Thank you very much for the reminder, I will take note." ”

The conversation was interrupted for a moment. That's when it happened. Someone came to report.

"What. Daniel. Baron Fix? The Count heard the name. Somewhat surprised.

Originally, the Earl attached great importance to other lands. Daniel can be promoted to baron. He did a lot of work. But then he went into seclusion. This made the earl secretly a little dissatisfied with the investment in vain!

Now he comes. What does it mean? I thought about it. He smiled and said, "Ah." Come in, baron! ”

But. When Fang Xin came in. He immediately stood up: "Oh. Master Daniel. You are very welcome! ”

It belongs to the summer sunshine. It was blazing. But shine on the magic robes. There is only a feeling of warmth. Under the sun. One star and two gold threads sparkled. This represents the sixteenth level mage.

Generally speaking, if you can get a level 1 mage or above, you can be called a sir, and a level 5 mage or more will be called your Excellency, and you will be a VIP of the nobles, and a level 10 mage or more can become a VIP in the court.

Fang Xin bowed slightly: "Your Excellency, Earl." ”

He waved his hand. With a strange power in his voice, he said, "I would like to have a good talk with you!" ”

The scholar naturally withdrew.

"First of all, Count Hamish, thank you for your support of me for the past twenty years, and now is the time for me to repay you." Fang Xin said lightly, and said it clearly at the beginning, without any cover-up.

"Master Daniel, you are so gracious, I am very willing to gain your friendship." Count Hamish also got up, bowed slightly, and said, "You may be seated." ”

The sixteenth level magician intervened. It is difficult to estimate what the impact will be.

"I heard that you are a believer in the goddess of spring water, but?" Fang Xin sat down and asked directly.

"Yes, our family has believed in the goddess of spring water for quite a long time, and legend has it that our family even has the same bloodline as the goddess of spring water and the family of the Grand Dukeland."

"It's an honor to hear you introduce this great man." Fang Xin said, which naturally meant that he wanted him to talk about the goddess.

The Count was a little surprised, but still introduced: "The goddess Emia is the goddess of spring water and protection. It also holds the field of plants. She has always been the goddess of protection in our region and the goddess of our family. I've been there since I was very young. I once felt the grace of the Goddess, and I knew that this was the land of our ancestors, and it was also the land that I would protect! ”

The Count then spends half an hour briefly recounting his past history, including the awards and influence he received in the Church of the Goddess of Fountains.

Referring to his recent recent, the Count's voice was noticeably lowered: "I have recently built a shrine to the goddess of springs, so that her sacred water may appear in the place of my children and grandchildren, and watch over them as our ancestors have guarded for thousands of years. ”

Speaking of which, he looked melancholy, apparently aware of the drawbacks.

"Lord Earl, I think you have understood the root of your situation, yes, the number of people who believe in other gods is increasing now, but you are the first high lord in the nearby area to openly establish a temple of pagan gods, I think the Church of the Bright God calls you and your goddess."

"After the Thirty Years' War, although the Church of the God of Light has been severely attacked, it still has quite a strong force, and in the face of the chaotic situation, when you are about to make an example, I have to say that you have chosen the wrong time." Fang Xin said coldly: "I think the Holy See is very willing to tie you and your family to the stake, and the nobles and churches that believe in the God of Light nearby have been mobilized. ”

"And your lord, I have to say that although they are both descendants of the goddess, their faith has long been shaken, and the territory you now control has reached the level of a marquis, if you consider your strong influence in the goddess faith, I think the Grand Duke's attitude towards you is already very obvious, at least you will not get help." Fang Xin heard a grunt, which was an action that represented uneasiness, the Earl thought about it, he still retained the style of a knight, and asked very bluntly: "Master Daniel, then what do you say?" ”

Behind this frankness, however, the count's misgivings were hidden.

"The first is that you give up your goddess, publicly atone for your sins to the Church of the God of Light, and tear down the newly built temple of the goddess and make it into a temple of the God of Light." Fang Xin smiled.

"It can't be!" The Count didn't want to. said directly in refusal.

"The second point is war, I think, you only have to fight one war, or even several, with those nearby nobles who believe in the god of light. in order to get the final result. Fang Xin continued, "As with other kingdoms and regions, force is used to decide who is right and who is wrong. ”

"Of course, you can find a way to make a sum, but I don't think it makes sense."

After speaking, Fang Xin left a talisman and said, "If you have any decisions, I will come to repay your kindness." ”

With that, he bowed slightly and took his leave.

If strictly speaking. In fact, after the twentieth level, entering the holy realm, it can be regarded as the fifth order.

But because of the rules of this world. It is more relaxed than the main world, so after the seventeenth level, it will have some special powers of the fifth order, albeit an external force.

Clover Continent

Along the coast, tens of thousands of people gathered in front of a new temple.

This is the first large temple on the Shamrock Continent to be dedicated to Medirs, the goddess of the earth and the underworld.

Temples are generally divided into four levels:

The first is the altar, which is basically home to only one official priest and only requires hundreds of believers to maintain.

Small shrines, which are usually a formal priest here. Several probationary pastors, usually more than 500 believers to maintain, have the function of small training pastors.

The medium-sized temple, which is mostly the seat of a diocese and is served by a bishop, is not only a function, but is usually the home of a seminary, a paladin school, and a religious armed group.

Large shrine. This is usually the seat of an archbishop who governs several dioceses, or where a particular religious deed takes place.

The construction of this great temple in the Trimrock Continent marks the establishment of a large base for the belief of the goddess Medis of the earth and the underworld, and the meaning is of course completely different, and now there are only three similar great temples.

Separated by marble pillars, the temple is wide and dark enough to accommodate thousands of people to pray together, and contains seven towers where priests and probationary priests live.

Tens of thousands of believers, who have entered this place with the Pope, have seen a huge space. The eighty-one marble pillars. Solemnly hold up an independent space.

The temple has no dome or windows, but it is full of light. The light seemed to rise from the sky, and the light was soft and hazy, making the person who entered it feel the immensity of God.

Inside, the sacred prayer continued, and just then, not far away, a door of light opened.

Fang Xin stepped out.

The eighth-level spell portal can establish a two-way spatial connection between two locations on the same plane, creating a circular portal, which is coming by locking the breath of Archbishop Barnier, no, now Pope Banier.

Around the temple, Fang Xin felt the chant that resounded through the clouds, and the divine pillar of light that ran through the heavens and the earth.

After the great prayer was over, Fang Xin appeared in front of the Papal Church of Barnier.

In the small prayer room at the back of the temple, Pope Barnier was kneeling alone in front of the altar, silently praying to the divine light of the altar.

Before you know it, the entire prayer room is covered with holy light.

Fang Xin's appearance did not surprise him, he finished praying before he turned around, his golden eyes shining brightly.

However, when he saw Fang Xin, he was still taken aback.

The sixteenth-level mage had not yet been able to surprise him, it was Fang Xin's soul, and he could no longer see clearly, only the brilliance condensed to the extreme.

Fang Xin didn't say anything, he directly took out a ball of black, in this black cloud, there seemed to be countless people crying and shouting in it, he didn't say anything, he didn't urge, just quietly took it.

Pope Barnier stared at the darkness, and he felt the deepest resonance in his soul.

Just thinking for a while, he suddenly smiled, stepped forward, and took it without hesitation.
