Chapter 70: The Situation
Samwan @ Nobodi has been annoying at his bad luck this morning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just over fifty years old, he was the owner of a flower shop in Xi'an, and his shop was opposite Fort Kerak, where the second prince Sperdmund lived, because he sold delicate flowers and needed to be kept moist at all times, and he usually kept vigil in the store, except yesterday because he sold a lot of high-priced goods at once, and there was nothing to take care of in the store, he was lazy and drank a few glasses, and accidentally drank too much, and slept on the hotel table all night.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I got up in the morning, I heard that the second prince Spodmund was a miracle that the entire Kailak Fort was razed to the ground by Sanin because of his belief in evil gods and desecration of Saning, and that kind of majesty could be seen by the whole Xi'an, and he immediately felt very remorseful - he was the most staunch believer in Sanin, and he had to donate half of his income to the Sanin Great Sanctuary every year, but he didn't expect to miss the opportunity to experience the miracle in the nearest place in vain!
While annoyed, he hurried to his shop in the cold morning wind. If you don't see a miracle, it's good to feel the majesty left by God!
"Stop!"
When he was still a few steps away from his shop, a majestic voice suddenly stopped him, and then a soldier wearing the armor of the Radiant Samurai appeared in Samwan's field of vision: "The order issued by the temple and the council jointly prohibits anyone from approaching Fort Kerak except for the investigators!"
"Yes, yes!"
Samwan was startled at first, but after seeing that this was a glorious warrior, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Respected guardian, I'm not a miscellaneous person, my flower shop is just a little bit ahead,"
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the flower shop not far away, and at the same time saw soldiers patrolling the neighborhood: "Those are delicate flowers, which will die if they are not watered in a day—and I will make money from them to worship the Templar, you see!"
He proudly took out a necklace pendant hanging from his chest, on which was a relief statue of the main entrance of the Great Holy Church, and below it were seven abstract patterns representing the light source: "I am the most staunch believer in Sanin, and I donate half of my income to the Great Holy Church every year!"
Only devout believers can be given this 'Sanin Chain', and the seven motifs representing the light source indicate that he has been named an active member of the congregation seven times.
The glorious warrior's gaze swept over the necklace, and after seeing the pattern clearly, his gaze immediately softened a lot, and after looking at the flower shop that was not very far away with a little hesitation, he finally nodded: "--Go and go back quickly!"
"You are as merciful as Sanin, may the light of purity shine on you forever!"
Samwan breathed a sigh of relief, bent down to thank him, and trotted all the way to his shop. I don't know if it's a psychological effect or something really happening, but I always feel that the air around me is much fresher, and my legs and feet seem to be getting younger when I run, and I am full of stamina, much faster than usual, and I came to the front of the store in the blink of an eye.
Opening the door, Samwan took a deep breath, intoxicated with the lingering breath of Sanin, a satisfied and reverent smile on his face, and it took him ten minutes before he came back to his senses, remembered what the Radiant Samurai had said, 'Go and go back,' and quickly got busy.
The flowers around him didn't seem to have changed much, so he sprayed a little water indiscriminately, and then ran to the inside of the shop, took out a well-designed but very old ladder, and climbed up to the attic of the shop in three or two steps, with a window facing Fort Kerak, and should be able to see the whole castle clearly!
As soon as the excited Samwan poked his head out of the narrow entrance to the attic, his excited expression froze on his face - there was someone in the attic!
It was early in the morning, and the light in the room was not sufficient, and Samwan could only dimly see a dark figure in front of him, crouching there on one knee, staring motionless at the floor, as if looking for something.
"Who is it?"
He quietly picked up an old flower shovel beside him, held it tightly in his hand, and shouted loudly. This shop has been his own for more than ten years, except for the occasional hire to deliver flowers, there is no second person in the store, if those unscrupulous guys think they can find some extra money here, he will immediately know that Sanin's followers will also be ruthless!
To his surprise, the black figure in the human form seemed to have heard his shouting, and was still there with his head bowed and looking at the attic floor.
Wrong?
Samwan closed his eyes in confusion, but when he opened them again, he began to adjust to the dim vision, and he could clearly see that it was indeed a stranger!
To be precise, it should be a strange teenager, who looks like he has just passed the age of the coming-of-age ceremony, and the early morning light shines through the window, clearly illuminating the face between the teenager and the youth, clean and clean, looking very gentle.
"Hey, who are you?"
Samwan's hostility was slightly lower. This young man looks very well maintained, although the style of the clothes on his body is strange, but it is clean, and the materials look quite high-end, it should not be a ruthless gangster or a down-and-out homeless child, but more like a young master of a wary family: "This is my shop, I'm going to start working, please go out!"
The strange boy reacted strangely, and after hearing Samwan's voice, he briefly glanced up at him, and then as if he hadn't heard, he still lowered his head and stared intently at the ground.
"Hey, hey!"
Samwan's rude reaction annoyed Samwan a little: "What's the matter with you kid? I said this is my place, I don't care how you got in, you go out quickly!
Hearing the word 'soldier', the young man Huo Ran raised his head, staring at Samwan's face with a pair of indifferent eyes, there seemed to be a light flickering in his pupils, after staring for a moment, he blinked his eyes lightly, suddenly smiled, raised his long fingers in front of him, and snapped his fingers: "Boss Samwan, you came really early today!"
After the sound, he greeted Samwan with a smile.
"Fio, you stinky boy, you didn't water me once of the two pots of heather I specially asked you yesterday!"
Samwan naturally picked up: "I've heard that the great Sanin has performed a miracle, so I'm going to check early to see if you're lazy!"
He seemed to have suddenly forgotten the scene just now, and spoke to the young man in front of him very familiarly: "You have been an apprentice with me for a while, why don't you grow up!"
"Serving these flowers and plants, no one has the ability of yours!"
The boy grinned, the corners of his mouth slightly curled. His appearance is very special, he doesn't seem to have anything outstanding just now, and the combination is ordinary, but after looking at it for a long time, it makes people feel impressed, and he unconsciously remembers it in his heart: "I still have to repair these tools, you go down first, this roof can't support your 'thick' body!"
"Stinky boy!"
Sam Wan laughed and cursed, and was about to return to the store with his head shrunk, when suddenly there was a bang, and then he realized that he was actually holding a tattered flower shovel in his hand: "Huh, what am I holding this, when did I take it? Why can't I remember it at all...... Did you drink too much?"
He muttered strangely, dropped the flower shovel in his hand, shook his head and disappeared into the narrow entrance of the attic.
The smile on the face of the boy known as Fio remained unchanged, and he turned his head to continue to look at the ground.
"It's two of them......" he muttered softly to himself, "one is smaller—" He measured some marks on the floor with his fingers, squinted his eyes as if calculating something, and after a moment he nodded, followed the marks on the floor all the way to the window, looked up at the top of the attic, and nodded: "The other burly man has been here for a long time and sat down......"
His gaze was fixed on the windowsill, and gradually the smile on his face became playful: "Is it 'them'...... There's no trace of it anywhere, it's a bit like that......"
After pondering for a moment, he subconsciously raised his hand, pinched it into a snapping gesture and was about to snap it, when he suddenly came to his senses, smiled slightly, and immediately released his fingers: "Oh, I almost fouled, no, no, I will pay attention to ...... in the future"
He smiled self-deprecatingly, picked up a shovel from his side, glanced out the window at Fort Kerak, which was almost in ruins, shook his head, and leaped down lightly to the exit of the attic:
"Boss, the attic above should be repaired......"
......
......
Not only are there a large number of soldiers around Fort Kerak, but there are also a large number of troops stationed near the Sanin Great Church and the Imperial Palace, which are absolutely heavy in quantity and quality, not only can ordinary people not approach, but even the messengers who have official warrants and go back and forth to convey orders are also ordered to approach on foot alone, and anyone who tries to approach more than ten people will attack first, and then ask!
However, all the armies were composed of a combination of the Radiant Warriors, the Judicial Guards, and the Imperial Guards, and none of them could be seen, the true elite of the Wright Empire, the Second Prince Spedmun's Feather Knight Guard.
"The Knight of the Feather is not worried. ”
In the Sanin Great Sanctuary shrouded in the morning light, an old man was talking to Gregory in a deep voice, his face was old and cold, and the white robe he was wearing was painted with exquisite luminous pure white divine inscriptions made of expensive 'glow shell' shells, the cut was generous and majestic, and with the elder scepter in his hand, the people around him couldn't help but dare not straighten their waists.
This old man was none other than one of the elders of the Radiant Temple Presbyterian Church that Gregory had contacted some time ago, Easter. There was such a big incident in the Wright Empire, even Sanin's divine punishment appeared, and after hearing Gregory's report, he felt that the matter was very important, and rushed over through the teleportation array overnight.
"But they are well-trained, and they have been held in the hands of Spodmund for a long time, and the only thing that has been trained is to be loyal to Spodmund, and now that Spodmund has been destroyed by Sanin's divine punishment, they may not be tamed so easily. ”
Gregory respectfully put forward his opinion, a circle of white cloth wrapped diagonally around his face, covering his left eye tightly, and a trace of blood could be faintly seen: "Although after a night of urgent consultations, the Wright Empire has compromised, but no representative of the Feather Knight has come forward to express his position, and I am still a little worried-"
"What's the matter with your eyes, why are they still bleeding?"
Esther interrupted him suddenly, frowning and carefully examining Gregory's left eye, looking at the faint blood stains on it, the finger of the staff applied a high-level light healing magic 'Song of Healing', but to his surprise, after the holy white light, the blood on the white cloth that bandaged the wound not only did not stop, but spread more quickly, and soon dyed the white cloth red, as if the holy light had made the wound worse.
"This wound was burned by the sudden splendor of the holy light in the sacred pool when the Supreme Sanin descended yesterday. Gregory raised his left hand and touched the white cloth that was gradually becoming wet, and smiled on his face, but his right hand was clenched tightly in his sleeve, trembling slightly, as if he was enduring great pain: "I was so careless!"
Estelle, who was standing beside her, immediately stepped forward silently and handed Gregory a new white cloth, but the boy shook his head slightly, and did not take it, allowing the blood to gradually occupy the entire white cloth.
"Oh, the light burns, then it's no wonder...... You can only recover by ordinary means, and you will be asked to find a doctor for you. ”
The wounds caused by the Holy Light are immune to many healing spells, Esther nodded knowingly, and turned his attention away from the white cloth that was about to turn red, and returned to the situation in front of him: "Don't care about the attitude of the Knight of the Owl, the great Sanin himself came down and inflicted 'divine punishment' on Fort Kerak, this is something that the citizens of Xi'an have seen with their own eyes, and they can't change this conclusion in any way......"
Esther groaned, but his old face was not as firm as his words, and after a moment he snorted softly: "I'm more worried about Sophomandis than about how he's doing?"
After waking up from his coma, he remained silent, ignoring anyone and refusing to eat. ”
A hint of worry appeared on Gregory's childish face, "He's been hit hard by this, I'm afraid my body won't be able to stand it—"
"As long as he can be there at the coronation. ”
Unlike Gregory, Easter's tone was emotionless: "The Wright Empire is a very important gateway, and we sent you here because this is the most important place! As long as we can hold it in our hands, it is like opening a door to the south of the continent, so we must not lose it!"
"Yes, Elder Easter. ”
Gregory did not hesitate to respectfully oblige to the order: "I will do everything I can to accomplish this at any cost!"
"Good!"
Esther patted Gregory's shoulder with satisfaction, and after a little groaning, he took off a ring from his hand, which looked extremely smooth, as if it was a circle of flowing liquid: "This ring is called 'Pious Blade', which is usually a ring with a protective effect, but as long as you input a certain purity of holy light, it will turn into a powerful holy sword, the previous Great Sage gave it to me, and now I forward it to you, I hope you can use piety as a blade to sprinkle the glory of Sanin all over the continent!"
"I will inherit the will of my ancestors and dedicate everything I have to Sanin!"
Gregory took the ring with a solemn expression, and immediately put it on his hand, and with a flash of divine light, the ring automatically adjusted its form as if it were alive, and fit Gregory's fingers tightly and comfortably, although the hoop was tight and there was not a trace of gap, but there was no discomfort at all.
"May the Supreme Sanin always protect you, my child. ”
East nodded with satisfaction, "I can't stay here for too long, this matter is a big shock to other countries, and if it is not handled properly, it will cause 'rumors' that are very unfavorable to us - are the witnesses 'protected'?"
"There are thirty-one survivors of Fort Kerak, all of whom are under our careful 'care'. ”
Gregory immediately replied: "But most of the ordinary people among them have gone insane, and even the original Owl Knight is very unstable, and I have hired several priests who have nothing to do with all aspects and have a relatively detached status to treat them, but the effect is not obvious......
"You're doing a great job. ”
East nodded in satisfaction. The meaning of Gregory's words is clear: these survivors who were sent to neutral priests for treatment are crazy people who have become impossible to reveal any information, and may not even be able to complete their words: "I am satisfied...... It seems that this place can be safely handed over to you. ”
"Please rest assured, teachers, that I will work hard to spread the glory of Sanin to the whole world. The young man bent down respectfully, his face was full of sincere feelings: "Teacher Easter, you should also take care of your health, I am still too young and immature, and I need your guidance and guidance very much." ”
"Have faith in yourself, Gregory. A smile appeared on Easter's old and grim face, and he patted Gregory lightly on the shoulder: "We old fellows are very optimistic about your future! If you continue to work hard, you may surpass the greatest great sage in history, Josaiah VII, and this ring I have given you is one of his relics, and it is said that it was originally the equipment of the angels, second only to Sanin himself." Radiant Armament', now that the Radiant Armament was lost in the last war, this ring is already our highest artifact - I hope you will soon reach a position worthy of it, my child!"
After saying this with a smile, he turned and stepped into the white light of the magic teleportation array of the Sanin Grand Sanctuary and disappeared, not noticing Gregory's sudden stiff movements.
The magic array that had completed its mission quickly dimmed, and Gregory slowly raised his head, no longer with the slightest expression on his face, staring thoughtfully at the place where Esther had disappeared, and the blood gushing out of his left eye had soaked through the entire white cloth and began to flow down his cheek.
Glorious Armament!
Gregory's heart was sudden. No wonder he had always had an inexplicable familiarity with the staff in Tutang Carmen's hand, and as soon as Esther mentioned the Radiant Armament, he suddenly realized that what Tutang Carmen was holding in his hand was not the 'Aria of the Pious'?
...... I wonder if the other parts of the Radiance Armament are in his hands?
Estelle stepped forward silently, and gently untied the red piece of cloth for Gregory, and her slender fingers turned neatly, and quickly put on a new bandage for him—her eyes were fixed on her fingers during the change, and she did not look at Grigory's left eye, which was full of blinding white light.
Grigory remained motionless and let Estelle clean up, his innocent and childish gaze falling on Estelle's holy and beautiful face, as if remembering something, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
"Estelle ......"
A smile slowly appeared on his face: "I remember that in the Holy Maiden Audition three years ago, you defeated other opponents with an overwhelming amount of light elemental capacity...... Right?"
“...... Yes, Your Excellency. ”
Estelle's movements paused slightly, then she lowered her eyes and answered Gregory's strange question softly.
"Hmm. ”
Gregory nodded in satisfaction, his normal right eye turned around, and he stared at Estelle's beautiful face gently: "It seems like a staggering number...... Taller than the mother of the previous saint, that is, Sopmandis?"
"Lady Decassia Sycrophes is a very powerful priest. ”
Estelle shook her head slightly, and after finishing Gregory's wounds, she took a few steps back respectfully and silently: "I can't compare. ”
"When she first became a saint, she didn't reach the level of you. ”
With a strange smile on his face, Gregory shook his head disappreciatively: "You will definitely surpass hers." ”
The boy lifted his childish face, smiled innocently at Steele, and turned to leave.
"Your Excellency the Great Sage......
Very unexpectedly, Steele, who had always been silent and docile, suddenly took the initiative to stop him. Gregory looked back in some surprise, staring curiously at the pretty face of the saint, waiting for what she would say.
"Excuse me......"
Estelle lowered her head a little uncomfortably, "What is the name of the evil god who made the Supreme Sanin so angry?"
“...... Byron Earns. ”
The young man hesitated for a moment, but then he said the name, and then suddenly reached out to cover his left eye, and his fingers began to tremble slightly: "The evil god who angered the Supreme Sanin, the name is 'Byron and Earns' - why do you ask this ?!!?"
At the time of the last sentence, I don't know if it was because of anger or pain, the boy's voice began to become a little irritable.
"I've been asked by several faithful believers. Estelle replied calmly, "They have all made an oath to challenge this evil god for the sake of the High Sanin—"
"Good. ”
Gregory's voice calmed down a little and forced a smile: "However, there is no need for this...... In Sanin's oracle, the name is only known to a limited number of people, and the corresponding actions are only carried out by these few people - so, please keep this secret, okay?"
Estelle nodded silently, and stepped back silently, the boy staring at her soft back, and slowly removed the hand covering his left eye—the white cloth that had just been replaced had been burned to the edges, and in the gaps that were exposed, the scorching white light was churning like an ocean under a storm.
"Byron ......"
The boy muttered the name and opened the door of his own secret room, leaving only a frenzy as surging as the divine light in his eyes on his originally childish face. There is no doubt that Spodmund did cause Sanin's wrath, but there was no intelligence that he was worshipping some evil god—
Will this incident have anything to do with this thing?
In the center of the chamber, where his puzzled gaze ended, an oval sphere with a strange surface and a dull color almost like a stone was lying quietly.
