059 The Holy Maiden Appears

Illario heard this, and put his Hidden Blade away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

He didn't want to offend a terrifyingly powerful mage like Roy. And with Altaïr's Codex, tonight's mission has been completed, and whether to kill the Count of Bordeaux or not is a secondary issue.

"As you wish, Mr. Roy." Illario looked at the deplorable surroundings and said, "Let me put an end to their suffering." ”

Roy nodded.

For the Assassins, killing was a means, not an end. A proper Assassin should abide by the credo of "plow the darkness and serve the light", and be full of reverence for death.

While Illario was mending the poor soldiers who had been killed by the Molotov cocktail, Roy walked over to Stephen's corpse, fumbled around, and found a magic book.

"Advanced Research on Qi Magic."

"By Francis Jean Paul."

The magic system of this world, based on the worldview of the four elements of ancient Greece, is far less advanced than the magic system of the world of Torrell.

Spellcasters are still dividing magical factions by comparing the differences between the elements and energies of appearance. And the use of magic power is also relatively rough, unlike the spells in the world of Torrell, which are not only numerous, but also have a myriad of effects, almost omnipotent.

The magic of this world is divided into six factions: air, fire, water, earth, light, and darkness. And Stephen, who was shot in the head by Roy, is a mage who is good at air magic.

Roy briefly looked through the magic book and found that several spells recorded in it, if divided according to their effects, could be classified as the school of plastic energy.

Although the magic system is rudimentary, it is also a way for Roy to gain access to new types of magic.

He put the spellbook away, and left Red Maple Manor with Illario.

"Mr. Roy, what are your plans?" Illario asked.

That's a good question.

When Roy met Illario, he wanted to connect with the Plantagenet family through the British royal housekeeper. In this way, it is easy to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree, and it is also much more convenient to travel around as a demon hunter.

Now after the battle of Red Maple Manor, although Roy was not discovered by the Count of Bordeaux, but after tracking it down, it was easy to reveal it, so the British territory could not stay.

Where do you go after that?

On the Iberian Peninsula, the two kingdoms of Castile and Aragon are waging a war against the Astral Cultists to regain their lost territories. Wars involving religious beliefs were bloodier than wars between nobles for territorial rights.

Italy? There are many city-states, money is supreme, and behind the extravagant and flashy aristocratic life, there are endless conspiracies and assassinations. Once you get stuck in this kind of place, it's hard to get out. What's more, Rome is also the stronghold of the Church of Light.

...... Holy Roman Empire Well, Roy didn't like the vast forest environment, and he didn't like the cold and humid weather.

Greece? The Byzantine Empire was about to be ridden by the newly rising Ottoman Empire.

Come to think of it, it's best to stay in France.

Britain and France will fight, and it has nothing to do with Lowy anyway.

First of all, he became a demon hunter. With this identity, he travels around, hunting various monsters, researching the nameless manuscript, gathering intelligence, and finding the secrets of the Piece of Eden.

Loy made a simple plan for his future, and said to Illario: "I'm going to Toulouse and then take the Demon Hunter qualification test." ”

"You're going to be a demon hunter?" Illario glanced at Roy curiously, "Although there aren't many mages who go to be demon hunters, it's still a good choice. Moreover, you came all the way from the East to study, and your identity as a demon hunter will indeed help you travel all over the world. ”

"It's a pity that I have to return to Italy early and can't travel with you. Goodbye, Mr. Roy. Illario said with a little regret. He had the idea of recruiting Roy into the Assassin Order. With such a powerful mage joining, he will definitely be able to gain an advantage in the war with the Templars.

However, after obtaining Altaïr's Codex, he had more important things to do, so he had to leave first.

Roy nodded to Illario, watching as his figure faded into the darkness.

The news of the attack on the Count of Bordeaux on his estate quickly spread throughout the county the next day. Groups of British soldiers streamed out of the castle and carried out massive patrols and searches along the avenues.

However, with the help of spells, Loy crossed the border smoothly after a day's walk and came to the French-controlled territory of Toulouse.

To the east of the Duchy of Toulouse, near Provence, is the archdiocese of Mogio in the south of France. If Roy wants to sign up to become a Demon Hunter, that's the closest place.

He bought a horse in Toulouse for 50 grosso silver coins and continued on his way.

Although the climate in the south of France is warm and pleasant, and the scenery is beautiful, Roy found that the people he met along the way, from the nobles and officials to the farmers and peddlers, all had sad faces and were not in good spirits.

When I asked, I found out that it was the war with the British that was not going well, which made them worried.

In this era, nationalism has not yet awakened in the hearts of the people, and the territorial consciousness in the concept of the modern state has not been formed. For ordinary people, land is the private property of the aristocratic lords. Wars broke out because of the nobles' struggle for property. There is no concept such as "the rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible" and so on.

However, if King Henry VI of England really conquered France, then the old French nobility would inevitably face a purge in order to free up land for the king to reward the meritorious.

And the common people will also face the butcher's knife of the conqueror. Ordinary soldiers are counting on the burning, killing and looting that follows the victory to make a fortune.

The tragic scene of William the Conqueror who killed people after entering England is still fresh in people's memories.

Although Loy was neutral about the war between England and France, he did not want to see too much bloodshed. However, as he entered the county of Rueg, near Mogio, he heard some rumors.

"Did you hear that there was a girl from Lorraine who claimed to have been instructed by the God of Light to help us defeat the British? Accompanied by two soldiers, she was on her way to Xinong to meet His Highness ****. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, how can any mortal be able to get instructions from the God of Light!"

"That's right. Besides, what is the use of a woman on the battlefield? ”

"But I heard that the girl named Joan of Arc has a holy sword bestowed by the God of Light, which is infinitely powerful and invincible on the battlefield......"

The gossip may be true or false, but Loy, who knows history, understands that the girl who saved all of France is still alive and well in this magical Middle Ages.

However, Roy has no penchant for watching historical figures, and he decided to stay focused on his mission.

After entering the Archdiocese of Mogio, Loy traveled all morning to the city of Nîmes. The Monastery of Maglona, on the outskirts of the city, was the final destination of Roy's trip.

Demon hunters throughout the south of France, as well as the Duchy of Burgundy, Corsica and Sardinia, used this monastery as a base of activity, where they obtained information, received demon hunting missions, and of course, warriors who wanted to become demon hunters had to go through the procedures in the monastery and pass the test.

Loy, who had been tired from his journey, decided to spend the night in the city of Nîmes.

As he walked through the streets, he noticed that the town was much more hygienic than Bordeaux. And on both sides of the street, you can often see workers digging sewers.

After inquiring, I learned that the local earl had imposed a "feces and urine tax" on city residents since last year, and imposed heavy penalties on all acts of open defecation and dumping of excrement.

Taxes and fines are used to build sewerage facilities.

Roy didn't expect that in this era, there would be such a wonderful person who attaches great importance to hygiene, and he couldn't help but praise the lord in his heart.

After a good night's rest, the fatigue of the journey is gone. Roy came to the Monastery of Maglona.

When the monk at the gate heard of Roy's intentions, he led him to a study in the monastery without saying a word.

As he passed through the door, Roy felt a pure white and golden light shine through his body, even deep into his soul.

He knew that this was about some kind of camp testing method. If there is an evil aura on him, it will be immediately exposed in the light.

"I am the abbot of the Monastery of Maglona, Bishop Tavin. Tell me who you are, young man. A middle-aged man in a white robe and a bishop's crown sat behind a desk, writing on paper with a quill pen.

He glanced up at Roy and stopped.

The bishop was in his early forties, and he was a handsome man in his youth. I don't know how many girls were heartbroken when he decided to dedicate himself to the God of Light.

Roy handed over his identification.

Bishop Taven nodded while looking at it: "Well, it is really admirable that a young man from a foreign country in the East can be inspired by the light and be determined to devote himself to the front line of the battle against evil monsters. ”

Roy pursed his lips, unimpressed by the bishop's words. But there are some things on the scene, he won't break it.

After selling the emerald ring given by the Count of Bordeaux, Roy had about 600 silver Grosso coins on hand. After paying 300 silver, he became a trainee demon hunter.

Next, as long as you complete the test task issued by the church, you can become a regular. These test tasks generally require trainee demon hunters to go to such and such an area to kill a monster in a township, and the difficulty is not too high. Even if you fail, if you give up becoming a Demon Hunter, the church will return 300 credits.

However, this is generally rare. Because most of the failed trainee demon hunters died at the hands of monsters.
