Regarding the poison, Sherlock asks a seemingly serious question. However, he seems to have asked the wrong person, Luo Ming has been a mercenary for less than a month now, purely from this point of view, where would he know so much?

However, in order to maintain his image of being "well-informed" and "knowledgeable", Luo Ming still spoke very simply with the help of Aya.

"As far as I know, the so-called hybrids are completely unreliable most of the time. Although there are occasional successful examples, such a complex and expensive method is obviously not present in a battle for succession in a barony.

As for chronic poisons, as long as we are victorious, we will have the time and money to get a good pastor to examine our bodies. If you really find out any chronic toxins, it would be nice to spend a lot of money and ask a bishop to help you get rid of the toxins and heal the wounds. ”

Grant naturally knew that Luo Ming was really a novice in terms of mercenaries, and she led the door by herself. And he is so young, even if he has been studying day and night for more than ten years in his life, how much knowledge can he accumulate? At best, he can reach mastery in one or two fields.

However, Luo Ming is indeed able to speak freely in all aspects, and seems to be as deep as the sea and knows everything. This strengthened her belief that this person must be a saint descended from the gods on earth, who is about to accomplish great things.

Of course, if you keep it like this, more people will think so. This is Luo Ming's intention.

There is no doubt that this kind of trick of great men from heaven can be popular in some parts of the earth in the 21st century, and it is even more deceptive in this world.

And Sherlock also unconsciously became more dependent on him in the process.

After an hour, everyone was finally well fed and drunk, and nothing happened to the poison, and it seemed that Sir Severn's servants were still very loyal. Or maybe the enemy on the other side doesn't have enough manpower to infiltrate all parts of the territory, which is a good thing.

Then Sir Severn immediately gave the order to go down and prepare the carriage and horses, and the party was now to go to the town.

Speaking of towns, there is actually only one town in the Barony of Miana. There were about a few thousand people living in it, and the baron's official residence was about two kilometers from the town, and it was not easy to meet those usurpers who tried to take the throne.

And the only temple in the Barony was built on this town.

Unlike the earth, there is no doubt that there are gods in this world, some of them have descended to the mortal world, and some have changed the heavens or shaken the earth to show their majesty. And the most well-known of them are priests who serve God - those who can use magic are considered qualified priests.

Priests are able to wield supernatural magical powers, which naturally makes their prestige and sanctity unquestionable, but this practice also has a drawback: divine magic is limited.

This world is not idealistic, but equally materialistic, except that many laws are different from the earth, but the conservation of energy is still universal. Not even a god can generate an infinite amount of energy out of thin air to squander at will.

Where the power of the gods comes from, ordinary people may not know, and even a former paladin like Granty who has a good grandfather is ignorant, and only half-understood. But Luo Ming's status as an apostle of His Highness the Black Sun made Aya have no scruples about talking about such things to him.

"Although there are a few exceptions, a large part of the power of a god in general depends on the number of followers and whether he is religious.

To put it simply, it's like a country's fiscal and tax system. Believers unwittingly hand over their power to the gods, who put part of this power into warehouses and distribute the other part to their officials, that is, the priests, to form a divine magic to ensure the consolidation and spread of the faith. ”

Not only is theology limited, but it is not easy to train a qualified pastor, so many churches face the same problem, that is, the number of pastors is limited.

It's not bad that there is such a temple in a barony, with two priests and a few assistants who have no divine skills.

After all, more pastors prefer to stay in more prosperous places where magic is in great demand. Or they would simply go to more remote areas to preach—occasionally hiring armed men to go deep into enemy territory to kill entire families of infidels, which was also a good way to get the gods to do so.

The group came to the town in a grand way because the priest was almost indispensable when it came to dealing with cults.

Bestowed by the power of the gods, the priest is clearly a better refrainer than many magicians in general.

There were no other spellcasters in the group except for Sherlock, a half-hung warlock—and even in the entire realm, there were no other casters other than these two priests.

Therefore, it is very necessary to win them to their side.

However, when Luo Ming saw the temple with his own eyes and saw the two priests, he was greatly disappointed.

One of them looked like an old farmer, and the other was a very tender little girl. Either one admits that he is third-rate, and he has almost no combat experience.

After all, their god is the goddess of agriculture and certainly has an advantage when it comes to protecting against pests and diseases, but when it comes to fighting...... Even the priest of the goddess of spring water is more useful than them......

However, despite the joint testimony of the four of them, the two pastors still took the cultist matter very seriously.

& amp ; quot ; Although I dreamed of smashing the cultists' heads with a flail to see if their brains were black, I really couldn't, sir. & amp ; quot ;

The old peasant priest bowed, his tone was very unwilling, but there was a kind of self-aware helplessness :& ; quot ; We don't have the ability to fight directly, but if someone is wounded and needs to be healed, or if there's something evil that needs to be purified, come to us.

In order to fight against evil, the divine services of the temple will no longer be open to the public for these two days, and they will all be left to you without charge. & amp ; quot ;

The young priest looked at the old priest and said in a tentative tone :& ; quot ; Teacher, can we give them weapons and scrolls? & ; quot ;

The old man hesitated and said: & ; quot ; However, the temple ...... & ; quot ;

& amp ; quot ; If a swordsman wants to attack the temple, we can't resist these things without them. & amp ; quot ;

Since I said just now that I have no combat effectiveness, I naturally can't change my words here.
