Chapter 257: Passing by
A day later, the news of the assassination in the Holy City was quickly reached by those who needed to know by various forces at any cost.
In the Cathedral of Litan in the city of Litan in the Odanian Empire, Archbishop Odin Leinster saw the news and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
But in the Muuni Cathedral in the city of Muni in the Drew Empire, Archbishop Bocuse roared like thunder, extremely angry.
Now the various forces of the entire continent are watching what kind of reaction the Church of Light will have, but the supreme of the City of Light, the human representative of the God of Light, has been silent.
In the city of Matt in the Odan Empire, Hui Gang and Leona's second meeting was not awkward, but there were some inexplicable things in it, presumably after that, Hui Gang and Leona would have their own tastes in their hearts, but when the nuns returned from the church or prayer room after the day service, they saw the holy woman gently send out the 'paladin candidate' Walter Fleet, who had insulted him.
This thing is so incredible that many people rub their eyes and see clearly, and then turn around and pray to the god of light, presumably asking about everything in the world is so incredible.
In the "Redemption" cloth shop, Fei'er sat quietly in the office behind the cloth shop, watching the people outside through the window being busy, after all, she was still a little young, and many things couldn't help, but Alina has been running around since the change in her home, so she knows a lot of things.
Now in the cloth shop, as the second shopkeeper, he has helped Baron Fleet a lot.
However, today's Alina has a strange feeling, that is, Fei'er seems to be a little distant, not that Fei'er herself is doing something intentionally, but that after people see her, they will distance themselves, or have a feeling of extreme awe.
Alina felt a little strange, and wanted to talk about this matter to Hui Gang in the evening, the old baron was not working hard in the shop now, and many things were helped by those young people and this capable girl, which was very easy and comfortable. Old Fleet had already begun to consider which one of his sons would marry.
At this time, the old baron suddenly felt a shiver on his body, and hurriedly tightened his clothes, feeling strange in his heart, how could there be such a feeling at this time when it was officially early autumn and hot. A wonderful voice sounded in the background;
"Excuse me, is this the Fleet shop?"
It turned out that no one in the diligent shop answered, and the surprised old baron came out of the inner room, and was a little stunned, Fei'er and Alina are extremely beautiful girls, and the old baron is also used to it, in other words, it can be regarded as having the ability to be immune to beautiful women.
But seeing this greeting woman, she still froze for a moment, and the word cold and glamorous may be to describe the female noblewoman in front of her, this woman is dressed in a snow-colored hunting suit, and transparent crystals are used as accessories in buttons and brooches, with a near-perfect face that coexists with arrogance and reserve.
It looks like a snow-capped mountain in the distance, extremely beautiful but difficult to approach.
After all, the old Baron Fleet was in his fifties, and he was just shocked by the beauty in front of him, and quickly recovered his emotions, the woman in front of him was not the nobleman known to him in Matt City, and the title of this noblewoman would not be low.
"I'm the owner of this shop, Fleet, honorable lady, is there anything I can do to you?"
As the old baron expected, and in line with his guess, the noble woman who came in smiled and said very politely to the old baron:
"I'm Bastia Lekins, and I'm looking to buy some party clothes from you. ”
It was the marquiss who had been boiling up recently, and the old baron knew that he could not be lazy, so he hurriedly respectfully made the etiquette sufficient, and at the same time said with great embarrassment:
"I'm sorry, your honorable marquis, but we're just a cloth shop here, and the ready-to-wear garments are all for the common people, so I'm afraid they won't satisfy you. ”
The marquis took the folding fan in her hand to hide her smile, nodded, and replied softly;
"I know, but I'm very interested in your shop and staff, so I'm here to take a look. By the way, there's a big ball at Matt's Treasurer's house in a few days, I hope you and your family will be able to attend, sorry to bother. ”
The attendant who followed behind, one of the two drivers of the carriage, was now dressed as a personal servant, and respectfully handed a fine invitation to the old baron, who had already walked out of the shop with great grace, and Bastia went out to meet Carter, the butler, who had returned from the goods, and Carter's gardener's son.
The gardener of the old baron's house was still a young man with strong blood, and his mouth suddenly opened wide when he saw such a beauty. The old baron looked at the invitation in his hand with great confusion, and it had the joint signatures of the governor, the treasurer, and the marquisess. But why invite yourself a little nobleman who is just getting better? Old Fleet couldn't figure it out.
Seeing the young gardener's stunned appearance, the old baron couldn't bear it, and gave a gentle slap in the face, and the gardener continued to be busy with a flushed face.
"Huh, why is it hot again? It's incredible. ”
The old baron shook his head, he was busy, he didn't notice that the dozen or so druids who were sorting out the goods in the counter just now were all in a defensive posture, but there was not courage in their eyes, but deep despair, but from beginning to end, the marquis didn't even look at them.
Alina sat behind the counter with empty eyes, her arms clasped tightly, and her head plunged deep into it.
In the inner hut, Fei'er was still sewing her clothes there, and she didn't see the little winged lion hairball lying nervously by the door, hunched back with its wings outstretched, ready to attack at any time.
The powerful power felt by the druids, the endless despair that Alina felt, and the little winged lion felt the arrival of the great enemy, but Fei'er, who had always felt sensitive, sat there without knowing anything.
Because he was with Henry, the monk returned home earlier today, and from the conversation on the way, he knew that Morton served in the Knights of the Light Guard directly under Archbishop Odin and Sword Saint Claude, and was now a mid-level officer. Camilla has returned to her home in the East.
Henry was a little embarrassed and said:
"We are going to get married next year, and I hope you can officiate the wedding for me when the time comes. ”
The monk was also very happy, and learned from the chat just now that Henry and Morton were the sons of the marquis who held a high-ranking military position in Litan City, and Camilla's family was one of the top three aristocratic families in the Odan Empire.
This attitude of indifference to fame and fortune made Henry, who was already respectful, even more admired, and the two of them came back early, so they took Henry to the cloth shop by themselves. With the lively Ness, the two walked to the edge of the street where the shop was, and a black carriage whizzed past the monk.
The speed of the carriage was very fast, and the person and the carriage passed by in an instant, but the instantaneous reaction was very strange, Hui Gang slowly turned his body sideways, although it looked like a slow movement, but before the carriage galloped over, he had already adjusted his posture. It just happened to keep Niss in her back.
If it were the old days, the lively Ness would have to go to the front to see what was going on. But at this time, he also shrank behind Huigang, clutching the monk's robe tightly, and he didn't even have the courage to stick out his head to look. Henry's was still the same equipment that came to Matt City, his armor and weapons were not left of his body, and at this time his body bowed slightly, his feet retreated, and his hand was already pressed on the hilt of his sword, which was very different from the standard pre-battle posture of the knights.
But it is easier to exert force, which is the power trick of the world where the Shaolin Temple is located taught by Hui Gang, and the power up and down the body explodes through the simplest force posture of muscles and meridians.
When the nobleman's carriage was driving on the road, it had always been unscrupulous about others, and this carriage was especially fast, almost whistling past Hui Gang and his party.
The driver of the carriage was engrossed in driving, and the windows on both sides of the carriage were airtight with curtains, so that nothing could be seen. But Henry, who was standing on the side of the road, only felt a cold long sword slashing against his skin, and a tingling sensation on his face.
But he didn't dare to move at all, only Huigang stood there with a motionless expression, looking at the speeding carriage faintly, Niss nervously tugged at the hem of the monk's robe, and didn't even dare to look at it, but he could still hear the crackling sound of electric light bursting faintly in the air.
The monk did not use his senses to peek inside the carriage, but he knew that the man inside was watching him from the window facing him, although the curtains hung on the carriage.
The brake passed by, and the person concerned felt that it seemed to be infinitely slowing down, and in a trance he heard a chuckle in the carriage, which was very pleasant to the ear, this perception made the monk slightly confused, and he could now judge through the breath in the car that the person inside was the 'Ice and Snow Sword Saint' who had fought with him, but the voice inside was a woman.
