Mien and Sameer talked a lot in their study about the changes in the Holy See over the years. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Especially for the Holy Knights, which are composed entirely of silver knights, a hundred silver knights under the leadership of a high-ranking knight, even within the Holy See, there is a lot of criticism about Sami holding such power.

Not to mention the local aristocracy and the royal family, who have always been exhausted.

The Berans, who were originally local warlords, were particularly afraid of such armed forces that were outside their control.

Just over a month ago, a regulation was adopted within the Holy See to limit the power of the Holy Order.

The Holy Knights who had all gathered in the Holy City of Lotta were scattered and assigned to various local dioceses, leaving Samiyah with only ten people, including Rhodes, to mobilize.

In fact, Mien was very curious why Samiyah did not strongly veto this rule, with the power of the Holy Knights, backed by the Holy Light, if Samiyah was unwilling, Mien did not feel that anyone could force her.

Even annoyed the female knight and fought her way to the palace.

It's just that Meen didn't say the doubt in his heart.

During the conversation, the knightess vaguely mentions to Meen Moran's attempt to leave the church on his own.

It was the first time Minn had heard of such a thing, and no one had ever mentioned it to him in Lydney.

Frowning slightly, in addition to extremism, do you want to go out independently?

At least at the beginning of the church's founding, Meen had never discovered that Moran was hiding such a huge ambition.

A few more digressions, until evening, after the two had dinner, Mien would depart for the Barbarian Dominion the next morning.

If it weren't for the fact that Samiyah had been secretly helping those dwarves on behalf of the church all these years, I am afraid that they would not have lasted a few months in that cold and frozen area.

Samier also knew Hilda's true identity, but she didn't mention it.

Although Mine's attitude never changed, the female knight was a little embarrassed to face Meen, and made an excuse to leave in a hurry after dinner.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Samiyah led the way with four holy knights, and the group of six set out on the road to the barbarian dominions.

Because of its remote location, it takes at least two days to reach Hilda's area.

Along the way, except for the occasional encounter with some adventurers who are active in the north, the more north you go, the more complex and barren the geography becomes.

There were no roads at all, and the rolling hills and ravines made it difficult for Minn and the others to walk.

Even after a day's advance, Mien and the others simply abandoned their horses and walked north on foot.

The Northeast has always been known for its barrenness, and although Mien has heard many rumors about it, it is only when he actually comes here that Mien understands why the great nobles of the kingdom would be so generous to give this area to barbarians who they consider to be inferior creatures.

Even if they have the heart to conquer such a place, it is simply a thankless task in the face of huge military spending.

Wrapped tightly in his coat, the cold and humid air made it even colder, and even hiding in the heavy coat, Mien couldn't feel the slightest warmth.

The Holy Knight who was exploring the path in front came back at this time, his face was a little solemn, "Lord Knight, I found more than a dozen corpses of adventurers and adventurers in front, according to my deputy, they should have died in the past few days, and they were killed by some animal. ”

"Killed by animals?"

Mien was a little surprised, he was able to attack and kill a dozen adventurers who knew martial arts, could it be that those people had encountered a pack of ice wolves?

The Holy Knight looked at Mien and nodded, his tone was serious, "I also found a huge paw print with a diameter of about three meters on the ground, if it is a predator, it is impossible to keep so many intact corpses, I guess there should be ice and snow magic creatures with a very strong sense of territory in this area." ”

After listening to the report, Samiyah glanced at the Holy Knight and said lightly, "Go ahead, if there is a magical creature that is too powerful, I will deal with it." ”

It is not uncommon to find the corpses of adventurers in the wild, those powerful magical creatures are not easy to mess with, and adventurers who come to the north to 'pan for gold' should be mentally prepared for death.

Walking to the place that the Holy Knight had just said, seeing the huge paw prints on the ground and the remaining ice that had not yet melted, Mien frowned slightly.

A creature with such huge footprints would theoretically be at least twenty meters long, and those unnaturally huge ice blocks on the ground.

Mien shifted his gaze to the corpses of these adventurers, except for those who had been torn apart, there were three adventurers who had fallen not far from the ice without any scars.

It was supposed to be killed by a spell.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and such a big guy who was active in the south made him feel a little threatened.

If it breaks into the northern cities, it is likely to cause great damage.

It seems that he still underestimates the anomalies in the far north.

Keeping a slight note in their hearts, a few people only stayed next to these corpses for a short time before leaving, as for these corpses, it is estimated that it will not be long before they will be disposed of by the foraging carnivores.

After giving up the horse, the walk will only take longer.

It wasn't until the evening of the third day that Mien and the others arrived at the location Samiyah had stated.

Hundreds of barbarian-specific hides were erected on the high ground in the distance, surrounded by a ring of low wooden guardrails.

Meen could already see a number of dwarves busy in their clan's territory.

The potato cultivation techniques learned from the barbarians were the only food source they could guarantee.

Humans appeared outside the tribe, and a group of dwarven guards in charge of security walked up to the Mien, and when they saw the familiar face of Samiyah, the captain of the guard said in his very stiff and broken Ghanaian language, "I've seen you, woman, what are you doing here?"

Sameer glanced at the dwarven guards, stood beside Meen, and said, "This lord wants to see your patriarch and take us in." ”

Several dwarves looked at each other and spoke a bunch of dwarven words that the female knight did not understand, and then the dwarven guard said, "The patriarch said that she doesn't want to see humans again, so please go back." ”

Naturally, Meen could understand the conversation between them, and seemed to be someone who had been there before the discussion.

Listening to them, that man had made Hilda angry, and had even become the most unpopular representative of the Golden Hammer tribe.

Samiyah's face remained unchanged, "Since you won't let us in, then tell your patriarch that the Pope wants to see her, and I don't think she will refuse." ”

Hearing Samiyah's voice, several dwarves talked for a while, and the captain of the guard glanced at the few people present, "You guys are waiting here. ”
