In the evening, the colorful glow on the horizon is as red as blood, delicate, but it has a special meaning.

Standing in Gray's position, the sunset just happened to envelop the town.

A white dove with a gold trim at the end of its wings took off from the town of Buck and flew northeast, as fast as Catherine.

"He is informing the Holy See. That's a special carrier pigeon that we have bred for them, and it's many times faster than the normal pigeons. Action should be taken soon. ”

"What action will be taken?" asked Gray.

"I don't know. Catherine reluctantly said: "Things are getting more and more complicated. The Holy Spirit has said that he will not interfere in your affairs. So, a lot of the actions they don't even need to be informed. ”

"Can we, then, not know the Holy Spirit acting on them?"

Catherine was stunned for a moment before she replied softly, "Yes." But I don't want things to get to that point, after all...... Again, I think that if you are completely torn apart from the Holy See, the happiest person must be the devil. ”

"Why should we care about whether the demons are happy or not? Shouldn't we be concerned about what we are doing right?" Gray asked rhetorically, "You say that demons will deceive us, so why should we define ourselves by their likes and dislikes? That would only be lost." ”

"Okay...... You're right. ”

Carl still held the Silver Moon Banner and stood quietly by Gray's side.

A bonfire had been lit in the camp.

Shelley sat in front of the campfire and pouted, glancing at Gray's back from a distance, and then back to Vivien, who was sitting beside her.

Anyway, it has been exposed, and Vivien is simply no longer invisible, and directly acts in the camp like an ordinary person.

"It's baked. Vivien handed a skewer of barbecue to Shelley and smiled sweetly, "Sister Shelley, I added special spices." It's delicious. ”

Shelley looked at Vivien suspiciously, carefully took the barbecue, sniffed it, and found that it was really very fragrant. However, for the sake of face, she didn't immediately speak, but asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Vivien. ”

"Why are you in our camp and seem to know Gray well?"

"Because...... The Paladin saved me, so I followed him. Vivien said with a wink.

Shelley's eyes widened slowly: "He saved you, when?

Vivien pursed her lips and said with an aggrieved expression, "You must have seen that I am not human. I'm a poor ...... Blood Elves!"

"Poof!" Andrew, who was drinking water next to him, sprayed a mallet in the face and almost choked to death.

The mallet that was suddenly sprayed in the face glared at Andrew.

Glancing back at Andrew, Shelley frowned and asked, "Andrew is also a blood elf, why do you look different?"

Vivien said seriously, "Actually, I'm the authentic blood elf. You see, blood, elves. My hair is red, and my eyes are red, isn't it more like blood?"

"That's right. Shelley thought and nodded.

Andrew deliberately walked past Vivien with a glass of water, and whispered in her ear: "The reason why the blood elves are called blood elves is because the blood elves have a blood feud with humans. Blood means blood debt and blood repayment, not because of any red. ”

Vivien smiled and turned her face sideways, gritted her teeth and widened her eyes, revealing a "fierce and vicious" expression: "Drink more water and talk less when you have time, otherwise you don't know how you will die." ”

"Okay, I understand. Andrew smiled dryly and walked away.

Turning her face, Vivien laughed harmlessly again. Like a well-behaved, ordinary girl.

"What did he just tell you?" asked Shelley.

"It's nothing, he told me that his father was a human, and he was half-blood, which is why he had black hair and black eyes. ”

"I see. Shelley nodded.

Looking at Shelley pitifully, Vivien changed her words and said, "Sister Shelley, in fact, I am a blood elf who has been abducted and trafficked. ”

"Elven trade?"

"Yes, it's the Elven Trade!" Vivien choked up, "Originally, I lived happily with my parents. However, one day, a group of humans appeared, and they killed my parents and took me captive. And then...... And then they sold me to a bad old man, and I was left to live a life that was worse than death!"

At this point, Vivien was already in tears. Crying became tears.

Shelley listened with her mouth wide open, and her heart was about to melt.

Finally "relieved", Vivien continued: "Later, I met the Paladin, and it was he who rescued me from the Demon Cave. Not only did he save me, but he didn't dislike me for being a blood elf, and he took me with him when I was alone. He was my benefactor, and so was Sister Shelley. ”

"Why am I too?"

"Because, Sister Shelley is the fiancée of the Paladin. You're really a good match, a natural pair. It's so enviable. Vivien looked at Shelley with a grateful look.

Shelley was a little shy, thought about it, hugged Vivian in his arms, and swore solemnly: "Don't worry, there will be no bullying of you in the future." Not only will the paladins protect you, but I, I will protect you!

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

Andrew, who was in the distance, rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice: "It's just a lie, do you need to die a parent?"

Turning his face sideways, he suddenly found that Vivien, who was held in Shelley's arms, was staring at him deadly, and he was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and continued to pretend to drink water.

......

At the end of the wings, the white dove with the gold edge swept through the clouds and continued to rush towards the northeast at a rapid pace.

......

The candles have been lit.

In the quarters arranged for the bishop, Levi sat upright and ate. Facing it is the balcony facing Camp Gray.

The dishes on the table are the simplest and most simple, such as bread, cream, greens, and fruits.

Bishop Fides, who was standing outside the door and was communicating with the attendants, ended the conversation, gently pushed the door and walked in, glanced at Bishop Bert who was standing on the other side, and said softly: "His Majesty has sent someone to spy on Lord Levi's news. ”

"Got it. Levi replied without looking up.

Looking at Bishop Bert, Bishop Fides asked softly, "Did Lord Duke Bert send someone too?"

Bishop Bert nodded slightly.

......

Gray stood on the hillside, quietly looking down, watching the occasional fast horse coming and going between the two camps and the small town of Buck.

Before Levi showed up this morning, there had been little contact between the two camps and the small town of Buck. It's as if they've forgotten about the town that was the cause of the war. Now, there is a lot of going back and forth.

......

White Fox Camp.

"The relationship between the two paladins doesn't seem to be very friendly. Which side do you think we should be on? Jean II asked his staff in a low voice.

In the tent, the staff members looked at each other one by one, unable to answer.

Camilla, who had been ordered to sit quietly, sat quietly behind Jean II, her head bowed.

After a while, one of the staff members whispered, "Paladin Levi is only one person, and he doesn't have an army like the Silver Moon Knights. In contrast, Paladin Gray is clearly a bit more powerful. But we're on Paladin Gray's side, is Paladin Gray willing to be on our side? According to Miss Camilla, we don't feel that Paladin Gray has a clear intention to support us. ”

Someone said, "Let Miss Camilla go again tonight, preferably ...... Something happens, and that will be good for us. ”

Camilla's head was buried low, and her hands were unconsciously clasped.

"And if nothing happens? Tomorrow is the time for the competition, and we can't ask to see Paladin Levi as soon as Miss Camilla meets Paladin Gray. If I were Paladin Levi, I would feel humiliated. ”

"So what should I do?"

"We should think carefully about this matter, once we choose the wrong one, there is no turning back. ”

......

Golden Serpent Camp.

"The situation is not good for us. News from the other side said that Paladin Gray liked Camilla. As long as he was a little biased in his decision, we had almost no chance of winning. Perhaps we should immediately enlist the support of another paladin. ”

But he didn't have an army. ”

"Enlisting his support doesn't necessarily require him to have an army. He's a paladin, and if he's willing to fight on our behalf, I don't believe anyone on the other side can defeat a paladin. And Paladin Gray, as the arbiter, could not have fought in person. ”

"Let the paladins fight on our behalf? Are you kidding? It's good to get some mercenaries, after all, no one knows them. The paladin is loyal only to the Pope and the Cardinals, and unless he reneges his oath, what reason can he participate in the competition?"

"What else should I do?"

Sitting on his throne and looking at the arguing staff below, his face became more and more ugly, but he was helpless.

Prince Arthur behind him was silent.

......

The white dove flapped its wings and flew directly into the main hall where countless cardinals and even the Pope were gathered. Soon, he flapped his wings and flew out, flying back the way he came.

......

Catherine said: "Tomorrow's competition is definitely going to be variable, so you better be mentally prepared. ”

"I know. Gray replied softly.

"Is it possible to declare war on the Holy See?" asked Karl on the side.

Gray looked at Karl.

Karl continued, "Vivien has told us that the paladin is questioning us. We are ready to fight for glory. ”

"Karl, this is different from the previous war. Before, you were dealing with ordinary humans. Julian could make a shot, we could lose. Catherine reminded.

"I know. Karl replied lightly, "Does it matter? We're all dead, but one more death...... If that could be called 'death'. Living should not just be living, we should have dreams and perseverance. There is no shame in dying for a dream. On the contrary, it was the glory of the knights. ”

Catherine was silent.

......

Time passed little by little, and gradually, it was completely dark.

Today is another crimson night, with a dark red moon and a starry sky.

The wind blew gently past Gray, stirring the weeds around him like waves after waves.

The Silver Moon Banner hunts in the wind.

"It's back. Catherine said suddenly.

In the distance, Gray saw a white dove coming from the northeast, all the way to the southwest, and in the blink of an eye it had landed on Levi's balcony.

......

The two bishops, who had been guarding Levi's side, hurriedly walked to the balcony, brought the white dove in, and handed it to Levi.

He took the letter from the white dove's feet, opened it and looked at it, then put it on the candlestick next to him and burned it.

"How?" asked Julian.

"The Pope and the Cardinal unanimously agreed to my proposal. Turning his face sideways, Levi whispered to Bishop Fides on the side, "Help me make an appointment with Lusian V." Just tonight, now, immediately. ”

Bishop Fides nodded, saluted respectfully, and turned to leave.
