Chapter 239: Technological Frontier (10)

The white wolf always felt that the white-robed man's eyes were a little strange when he looked at him, and this guy's previous actions were a little exaggerated, these together couldn't help but make the white wolf have some strange associations.

In his original world, there used to be a legend that priests liked little boys, maybe these priests from another world also have some unknown quirks... This thought immediately sent a chill down the white wolf.

However, the white wolf is here to do business this time, and the businessman must be guided by his own interests, as long as he can exchange good things, he can try to avoid bringing personal likes and dislikes to the business field.

After the greetings, the guests and the host sat down, and Lu Feng, as the organizer of this transaction, did not say anything like the beginning of the "meeting", but silently prepared the tea and handed the topic to the two guests.

Steve picked up the plate on the table and carefully stroked its rough edge, and the white wolf noticed that there was a large gap in the plate, and he vaguely remembered that there was no such gap before, so he glanced at Alyssa.

"This gap was left in the battle when I escaped from Hesse, when a monster tried to kill me, and I knocked off a corner of this plate while I was dodging, but fortunately, I didn't break this plate, otherwise I would not be standing here today. Alyssa understood the white wolf's eyes and explained the reason for the gap.

"The Far South... Hessian City... It is a place of shame for all of us in the Church of Light..."

Hearing the three words of Hesse City, Steve put the plate on the table, his eyes were no longer as enthusiastic as just now, they became sharp, and the temperament of the whole person changed, so that the white wolf had to revise his previous evaluation of this guy, from a suspected pervert to a suspected pervert with firm beliefs.

"We have failed to protect the ordinary people who believe in us, this is the failure of our church, not the failure of the Light, those cultists who believe in evil gods! We must make them pay with blood!" said this, Steve's eyes burned with fire, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"I've heard about Hesse as well, and I've heard that there are no living people in that place anymore, and the cultists are nowhere to be found.

"To say that there were no living people at all would be an exaggeration, and as far as I know, this Miss Alyssa was one of the survivors of the Holocaust, as well as many refugees who had moved to other provinces, and they also survived. Steve glanced at Alyssa next to him and withdrew his gaze.

"So... You mean, no one who fled was dead, right?"

"That's right, the city of Hesse, the Duchy of Hesse, and the one hundred and twenty villages and towns around it, as well as the small towns, there is not a single person left alive. ”

"How many people do you have to die?" the White Wolf estimated that it must be an astronomical amount. ”

"According to estimates, at least 100,000 people died in this catastrophe in the extreme south, and Hesse City died the most, probably 20,000 or 30,000 people. ”

Steve gave the white wolf a vague number, and the white wolf didn't know if there was any suspicion of exaggeration in this number, if it was true, the human extreme southern world really suffered an unimaginable catastrophe.

Every number is a living life, they have their own life, their own social relationships, but when they appear on the death list, what they represent is just a cold number, as the white wolf who has personally commanded many battles, he feels this very deeply, the goblin who was still talking to him one second ago turned into a corpse the next second, which he has experienced many times.

As a commander, the white wolf naturally knows that this kind of thing is inevitable, but as a modern person, he is always thinking about minimizing casualties in his subconscious, so every battle is fought carefully, and the heavy armored spearmen are the product of the implementation of this concept of reducing sacrifices.

As the old saying goes, "mercy is not in charge of the army", so the white wolf thinks that he is not a qualified commander, so he handed over the task of commanding the army to the black wolf, who treats human life as a mustard, and the humans she killed with her own hands are probably as high as hundreds of thousands, and naturally she does not care too much about the lives of goblins.

If a commander can look at the lives of soldiers as quantitative numbers, then he can concentrate on the war, and take the victory of the battle as his goal, rather than the preservation of the lives of the soldiers as his own goal, so that it is more likely to win the war, the white wolf understands this, but he finds that the morality of modern people has been restricting himself, so he simply leaves this matter to others to do.

Although the white wolf's practice violated some of the rules of war, it had a positive political benefit, and he established an image of a soldier like a son in the goblins, and by extension, he loved the people like sons, such a benevolent character that the rulers before the goblins had never had, and those rulers completely regarded the lower goblins as livestock and cattle and horses, and wanted to squeeze their last bit of strength, while the white wolf was so kind to them.

Goblins who can realize this have become die-hard fans of the White Wolf and the Rune Sect, many of them are willing to live under the rule of the White Wolf, and more and more people believe in the God of Runes.

The so-called Saion lost his horse, but he knew that it was not a blessing, and the military disadvantage turned into a political advantage, which the white wolf did not expect, after realizing this, the white wolf also better understood another sentence, that is, everything has two sides, if you want to correctly understand a thing, you must consider its impact from multiple angles, and you can't say that he has a shortcoming, so he directly vetoed it.

Back at the negotiating table, the bishop in front of the white wolf finally ended his accusation against the cultists, in a word: the cultists are very bad, very bad, bad to the extreme, and the white wolf thinks so.

"What the hell is going on with this cultist, why are they slaughtering humans?" asked the white wolf, wanting more valuable information before getting to the point.

"The name of this cult is the Sect of Destruction, since ancient times, they have begun to harm the world, and have always been the great enemy of our Holy Light Sect, it is rumored that the god they believe in is called the God of Destruction, and its form is a huge black demon wolf....."

Hearing this, the white wolf felt that his heartbeat had missed a beat, okay, it turns out that this bullshit cult still has something to do with the black wolf? As for the god of destruction, isn't it sealed in his body now?

Resisting the urge to jump, the white wolf did not show any abnormality, he had just had a slight heartbeat, but after a few breaths he returned to his normal level.

After an introduction to the origin and current status of the cult, Steve finally decided to get down to business.

"I had the privilege of reading the battle notes of the Supreme Bishop of the Far South, and it specifically mentioned this plate, according to him, this plate can cause serious damage to the mad monsters summoned by the cultists, and he marked this point with a red pen water, so I was quite impressed. ”

"According to him, because there was only one plate, it could not have much influence on the course of the war, and in order to avoid damage or loss in the war, it was not requisitioned, but returned to its original owner, Elisa, and I am right. Steve looked at Alyssa.

"That's right, that's what the Bishop said to me at the time, and his exact words were to tell me to keep this plate, and to tell me that the secret on this plate has the potential to change the current situation of the war against the cult. ”

"That's it, I received a notice to investigate the plate, and I succeeded in finding Alyssa, but she gave it to the Lady Green Phoenix, so I found the Lady Green Phoenix again, and asked her to borrow the plate, and studied it carefully. ”

"What about the results?" the white wolf was a little curious about what the other party would say about his work.

"Honestly... Personally, I don't know anything about rune arrays, and the only thing I know for sure is that this plate is not a holy relic, but a pure rune instrument, and the miraculous effect it produces to restrain monsters is completely the result of the operation of the rune array. ”

"Surprised, I also wanted to find the author of this magic circle with great interest, according to Alyssa, the author of the magic circle is a white wolf, and the whereabouts are unknown for the time being, I didn't believe her words very much, but after meeting you, I immediately knew that she was telling the truth, and only a magical beast as wise as you could create such a mysterious and powerful magic circle. Steve was a compliment again, what he said was just right, not only praising the white wolf, but also praising his rune array, which can be said to be a pat on the back in the right place, and the white wolf listened to it very useful.

"Do you want more plates, or do you want related technology?" said the white wolf to open the topic of the meeting.

"The proposal is this, our Holy Light Church will pay for it, and the Society of Truth will pay for it, on the one hand, hire you to produce such a rune for the church, and on the other hand, I hope you can be a teacher and teach other wizards how to depict this rune and the principle, what do you think?" Steve asked.

"Tell me about your conditions. "The white wolf was quite calm.

"Several white-clothed bishops have already discussed with the Pope that if you can train 10 wizards who can carve such runes, and create 10,000 runes for us that can be used to kill enemies, we can give you the title of 'Sage' and invite you to become our guest whitecoat. Steve paused word for word, making the conditions clear.

The white wolf didn't understand the meaning, so he didn't react yet, but the green phoenix next to him gasped, and Alyssa let out a "huh?", and her mouth was already closed in shock.
