Tian Xian was among the people who wanted to be in the Holy Spirit Temple, including Eugene, who came to go undercover at the beginning, but the Pope still didn't believe him in the end, and always imprisoned him, and did not appoint any official position, Tian Xian felt that this person might as well come to Fire Leaf City, he was a veteran of the Blood Alliance, his own strength was outstanding, and he was far-sighted and experienced, which was the type of person that Fire Leaf City needed the most.

The Pope decisively rejected the request.

In addition to Eugene, several important positions in the Holy Spirit Temple, the Pope also "considered", which made Tianxian very unhappy.

The Blood Sect didn't blink their eyes, and everyone agreed in one breath.

For these personnel of the Holy Spirit Temple, it is inevitable that they will be idle, because this is the foundation that supports those holy knights to be able to fight.

These people are either knights, special equipment repairers, or special grooms, all of them are peripheral personnel around these holy knights, and it can be said that without them, the Holy Knights would not be able to play.

Tianxian only knew that the Pope would not let go of these people easily, and like those holy knights, the cultivation of these people was not easy, and the number of these people was scarce compared to the holy knights, although people like grooms had no status, but it was also very troublesome to cultivate a groom who could take care of the holy knights' war horses.

Because the Holy Knights are an extremely special army, knights, war horses, equipment, training, and education are a set of things unique to the Holy Spirit Temple from beginning to end, and those war horses are specially bred by selecting excellent breed war horses, and they have been screened since birth, and they have lived with knights since childhood, and received training together, which is an inseparable part of knights.

This kind of war horse, except for the knight himself and the groom, does not get close to anyone.

On the battlefield, it is an existence like a heavily armored chariot, and the collision, stampede, and even combat footwork have been specially trained, and the entire human continent can no longer find such a war horse.

The entire Holy Knights is not an ordinary knight and then add a title, Tian Xian knows this very well, if he doesn't get the supporting personnel, the ability of those poor holy knights who are already less than half will be left.

It doesn't matter if it's a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron, and when the time comes, it's really fatal to take that group of divine servants.

Tianxian sat in the palace early, this time there was only one Tianxian, Guli and Xiangben were coming, Tianxian refused.

There was something they didn't want to see this time.

The Pope arrived belatedly and seemed nonchalant, with a "don't get an inch" expression on his face.

Sitting down, the Pope took a sip of tea and exhaled slowly, "Grand Duke, we have spoken first, and we can't interfere with the normal operation of the Holy Spirit Temple, but some of the people you want are just as necessary and unique as us. ”

As he spoke, the Pope shook his head.

"But they can be cultivated within a certain period of time, if the Holy Knights are long-term results, then the people I want are short-term results, and in the entire continent, only the Holy Spirit Temple has personnel supporting the Holy Knights, where did Your Majesty tell me to find those equipment repairmen, those grooms, and those knight captains who can command the Holy Knights?"

Tianxian shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the agreement with the Blood Alliance is an additional condition for our transaction, the original content is the person I need, and the way you need to control the formation, now I am responsible for it, and I have almost completed the agreement with the Blood Alliance, but you only give me the defective product......"

Looking at the Pope, Tianxian looked at him and said: Do you still want to trade something?

The Pope was very stubborn, "Honorable Grand Duke, we have spoken first, the people you want are urgently needed, this is not in line with the agreement, you will not be repaid." ”

Tian Xian's heart jumped slightly, looking at the sneer on the corner of the Pope's mouth, an idea suddenly popped up in his heart.

For such a long time, the Pope has not been in a hurry to support the specific method of the formation, obviously not very concerned about this, could it be said that he has solved this problem himself.

After thinking for a few seconds, Tian Xian also smiled.

It is impossible for the Holy Spirit Temple to solve such a problem, because that formation has been transformed, and it is specially used with the Hangu Tower, not to mention other methods, even if it finds other towers left over from ancient times, it will not be able to support the formation.

If that's the case, then ...... I guess I thought I had found the know-how to the formation.

Tian Xian smiled secretly in his heart, in fact, in the process of transformation, the formation did some tricks, the stability of the formation does not seem to be very difficult, but in actual operation, it will always be a little bit worse, this little bit...... It's almost heaven and earth apart.

"It seems that Your Majesty doesn't have much to talk about, so you might as well stop here today. Tian Xian got up directly, and put something on the table without waiting for the Pope to speak, "These days, Your Majesty must be suffering from the stability of the formation and not making much progress, so you might as well try this, and then we will talk about it." ”

The Pope didn't speak, until Tianxian really left, and then he looked at the things on the table with some surprise, it was a fragment of something, only half the size of a peanut, not iron or wood, and I don't know what material it was.

Picking up the pieces and looking closely, the cracked surface of the pieces looked a little like wood, but one side was neatly cut, and it was obvious that the scraps were left over from the cutting.

The Pope frowned, stared at the fragments for a moment, then suddenly closed his eyes, and a few seconds later a ring on his hand suddenly lit up, shooting out a ray of light and hitting the fragments.

The fragment trembled slightly, and suddenly the light shone brightly, and a gust of wind was set off in the palace, and the smell was all over the hall.

The Pope was hit by the wind and flew up, but fortunately, a black shadow appeared behind him in time to catch him, but it was a tall knight covered in black armor, and the hall was empty just now and I don't know where he came from.

"Your Majesty. The knight put down the Pope and knelt down with great respect.

The Pope didn't look at the knight, as if he didn't exist at all, but just stared at the fragment in his hand, his eyes full of astonishment, "This...... Is this a quick ...... Get ready to ......"

"Yes!" the knight vanished like a light smoke.

In the evening, Tian Xian was wondering whether to ask Senna to go to the Dante Empire to prepare some extra Mithril to build armor, and the messenger of the Holy Spirit Temple had already arrived in a hurry.

"It came really fast. Tianxian smiled slightly, and the victory was in hand.

This time it was a strange messenger, but Tian Xian didn't bother to pay attention to who he was, and asked directly: "Don't you know what happened to the Pope?"

The envoy was also strictly admonished, and after saluting, he said directly: "Honorable Grand Duke, Your Majesty said that all your conditions are agreed. ”

"All?"

"Yes, all yes. ”

"Very well, then you go back and tell the Pope, and I will wait here for further news. ”

"Yes. ”

In a few words, the messenger left in a hurry.

Luna frowned, "The fragment of your core was given to the Pope, but that thing is very limited, are you going to hand over the piece of your body in the future?"

Tian Xian still has the sealed core hanging on his waist.

"This thing didn't come easily, and of course it can't be given away, huh...... I haven't figured out what to do yet, but there's always a way, so let's get the benefits first. ”

Luna smiled wryly, "It's really human-style. ”

Tianxian also smiled bitterly, "This is actually in line with the current practice of living beings in the mainland." ”

"But what do you want those knights to do, even if they are very powerful, they can't deal with the divine servants. ”

Tian Xian looked at Luna, her expression calm and a little strange, "Good sister, there are some things that can only be done by humans, not by other races. ”

"Why?" Luna shook her ears proudly, "So far, I haven't found that humans are better than elves in any way, at least if humans can do it, elves must be able to do it, you don't need loyal and reliable elves, why do you have to go to the Holy Spirit Temple and the Blood Alliance to borrow people?"

"Wisdom, strength, courage, learning...... I don't think the elves are weaker than humans. ”

Tian Xian smiled bitterly, "Perhaps, in most aspects, humans can't compare with elves, but under the premise of the Eastern Crusade, humans have a great advantage. ”

Luna took a breath and grabbed Tianxian's ear when she came up, "Say, if you don't say the right thing, you can ask for your own blessings!"

"Humanity, without faith. Tian Xian said lightly.

Luna froze.

Tian Xian slowly took Luna's hand away and slowly stretched his waist, "Naturally, the people of the Blood Alliance need not be said, even if they are knights of the Holy Spirit Temple, they are not strong because of their pious beliefs, but because of sufficient resources and extreme loyalty. ”

Patting Luna's soft little hand, Tian Xian sighed: "To humans, extremely loyal to yourself. ”

This made Luna fall silent, and her expression grew heavy, "You mean...... Because of the moon god, the elves are reliable now, but they will ...... in the future."

"It will take time. ”

Tianxian gave Luna a reassuring look, "Elves have a long life, they have believed in the moon god since they were born, every adult elf has a hundred years of faith, and humans don't have so much time to pray and meditate, humans are busy." ”

Luna looks at Tianxian and suddenly realizes that this is an extremely serious problem.

Today's elves still believe in the moon god, and there is a statue of the moon god in the most important position in the new royal city, only a very small number of elves know the truth about the disaster in the old royal city, and the former gods have already abandoned their own people in order to return to this world, and even prepare to use the original people as sacrifices.

However, the belief that has lasted for thousands of years cannot be changed by change, although the current elves are all the younger generation, and the disaster in the old royal city almost took away all the old, weak, sick and disabled, even so, it still took a lot of effort to leave the Eastern Kingdom and come to the human world.

It can be seen that traditional consciousness occupies an extremely important position in a long-lived race like the elves.

The moon god abandoned the elves, and even wanted to sacrifice the elves alive, this truth was revealed, enough for the elves to completely collapse, a typical example of which is Lennie, if it wasn't for the new solace found in Tianxian's body, she might have dried up her soul and died.

So, what should I do if I meet the moon god in the future?

Now Tianxian still relies on the identity of the divine envoy, and most elves regard Tianxian as the incarnation of the moon god, which is why the current elf clan is prosperous.

The elves are under the protection of the gods, and this is the current perception of most elves.

In the future, Tian Xian will hold up the banner and say that he will resist the return of the gods, so what will the elves do? If they face the moon god, who will the elves' arrows be aimed at?

"You've thought of that a long time ago?" Luna frowned.

"It's all a question that has to be thought about. "It's also helpless," but it doesn't matter, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, we have thought many times that we are cornered, and in the end it is not to save the day. ”

Luna didn't say a word, and turned to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"We didn't wait for pie to fall from the sky, I went to find a way. ”

"Sister, ...... you" Before she finished speaking, Luna had already left in a hurry, and Tianxian could only continue to smile bitterly.

Gods, for humans, in the end, are still too difficult opponents to resist, Tian Xian can only hope that this crusade can condense all the strength, at least can make a final fight.

The next day, the people of the Blood Pact arrived.

What made Tian Xian very happy was that this time the Blood Sect was obviously very attentive, these people rushed to Fire Leaf City as quickly as possible, and they all carried out clever camouflage, and entered the city separately, it was difficult for outsiders to see their flaws.

These people, Tian Xian didn't want them to be exposed too much, they were still all secretly active, responsible for intelligence spying, and some secret operations, and the command was directly handed over to the four girls.

And the 100-nation alliance has been held until today, and finally has its first major results.

That is to determine the distribution of responsibilities of the Eastern Crusade army, those countries have more troops, those countries are responsible for logistics and supply, those countries are responsible for sighing news, opening bridges and paving roads, and those countries are responsible for delivering news.

This kind of step-by-step thing in a country's army, once it involves various countries, becomes outrageously inefficient under the influence of interests.

I can only watch, and now that the Supreme Council has decided on big and small matters, this is already a very good result.

Let's hope it's just in time.

The next big issue in the council is to decide the route of the expedition......

At the end of the morning meeting, Tian Xian was too lazy to listen to the content of the afternoon meeting, although the envoys of various countries were enthusiastic and quarreled endlessly on every detail of the meeting, but Tian Xian was no longer able to raise his spirits about these things.

couldn't help it, Tian Xian still stood in front of Bai's small courtyard, and Tian Xian still wanted to ask about the fact that Bai and the other three old monsters were silent when Eros appeared.

"Oh, you're here. Bai stood in the courtyard, wearing a white robe with a fluttering demeanor, turning around and smiling at the sky.

Tianxian suddenly trembled, why didn't this drunkard drink today, he was still so sober, and he didn't even stand there when he was playing with a sword.

And why are the eyes so strange.

"I thought you'd come earlier. Bai smiled and walked to the small table and sat down, "It's a good thing that young people can be patient, come on, come on, just say something." ”

I feel cold on my neck now, how can I ...... Bai today? This weirdness?
