"It's a bit bad. ”

Lancelot was usually silent, but when it came to the critical moment, he came back again.

"Things are a little bit different from what we expected. ”

A little bit of deviation?

Norman had a faint grasp of the information from Lancelot's words.

Lancelot seems to have anticipated this situation?

Norman wanted to ask Lancelot what was going on right away, but Thomas and the black-robed mage Conrad were beside him, and there were thousands of eyes staring at him, and he couldn't find a chance to ask.

Fortunately, Lancelot seemed to be able to read minds, judged his current thoughts, and said, "You don't have to speak, just listen to me." ”

"These mages who popped up out of nowhere, as well as the army, should all be here for this Thomas next to you. ”

When Norman heard this, his face became even more bitter.

Are you really here to catch them?

It's just a pretence of a black-robed mage, is it necessary to make such an exaggeration? I don't know if I saw it, I thought there was going to be a war here.

And Lancelot continued.

"As we might suggest, Thomas is no ordinary drunkard, but we didn't expect Thomas's true identity to be so sensitive, which is a little bit of a deviation from what I just said. And if I'm not mistaken, Thomas should be an important figure in some non-governmental regime......"

Thomas was not an ordinary drunkard?

Norman wouldn't have believed it before today, but today Thomas suddenly changed his face, and then caused such a big battle, he couldn't help but not believe it.

Norman tilted his head sharply and stared at Thomas's face as if he had only known him today...... Well, seriously, if you just point to this face, he really only met this Thomas today.

If Thomas was not an ordinary drunkard, then who would he be? What does "important person in the non-governmental regime" mean? How did Lancelot tell that Thomas was not an ordinary drunkard?

Lancelot seemed to have guessed Norman's thoughts from the change of perspective, and the conversation changed to the part that Norman was interested in.

"According to the information, on the first night you met Thomas, you once said to him, 'Mom sells criticism', and he also said a word to you at that time......"

Norman remembered that night, because it was the first day he had just started pretending to be a mage to teach Peggy at Colin's house, but he clearly remembered that Thomas didn't say anything to him that night.

"He was speaking in a very small voice, which was difficult for human ears to distinguish, and I used military facilities to amplify the ambient sound before I was able to capture his voice. ”

"'Niang Xipi', these are the three words he said at the time, which is an ancient saying. According to our database, if we can grasp the semantics of the ancient language to this extent, it is obvious that he cannot be an ordinary drunkard, most likely a mage, and in the evaluation model we have created, it is also very unlikely that he is a black-robed mage, and it is more likely that he is a red-robed mage, or even a blue-robed mage. ”

"His second suspicious point is that when you asked him to help you treat your broken arm, he once said, 'Such a precious treatment, the nobles have never enjoyed it', he did not use the term 'noble lord' but 'noble', it is clear that he is a nobleman himself, which conflicts with his self-proclaimed doctor's identity, which increases the possibility that he is a mage. In the end, it is difficult to explain this kind of thing by 'coincidence' that it happened sooner rather than later, and it happened immediately after Thomas's face changed......"

It is also suspicious that "noble" was used instead of "noble"?

Norman was a little puzzled at first, but after reciting it silently in his mind, he immediately understood: in ancient language, "noble lord" and "noble" are not much different, only with an additional suffix, but in the lingua franca these are two different words!

The use of "noble" or "nobleman" reflects a person's subconscious language habits, for example, commoners like Norman will subconsciously use the word "nobleman" when referring to nobles, and he has never heard a commoner call a nobleman a nobleman, but Thomas subconsciously uses "noble"...... Combined with the previous suspicions, it is indeed very doubtful, as Lancelot said.

However, Norman was even more surprised by Lancelot's ability to grasp the details.

He really didn't expect that a simple title would be enough for Lancelot to have so much information.

“...... Important figures of non-governmental regimes, you may not quite understand the meaning of this word. To put it simply, it means that there may be a group in the kingdom that is not under the control of the king, such as bandits, you always know that, right?"

The bandit Norman still knew, and for the villagers of Ashley, it was the most terrifying existence, and the old Norman had even seen the bandits with his own eyes, and had told him about the cruelty and horror of the bandits.

"Judging by the reaction of the Cárdenas government, it is likely that Thomas around you is an important figure in such a non-governmental regime, and he is still very famous......"

As Lancelot recounted the Templars' emergency analysis, Norman finally had a more reliable judgment about the situation in front of him, which had left him confused.

The surrounding troops, soldiers, and the mages in the sky, and those who rode flying beasts should indeed be coming for Thomas, but they were not here to catch the guy who was pretending to be a black-robed mage as he originally thought, but to catch the bandit leader.

Well, that's right, Thomas's current status here in Norman has been upgraded from "old drunkard" to "bandit leader with mage powers".

However, although there was a preliminary assessment of the situation, the situation seemed to be worse.

Pretending to be a black-robed mage, this crime doesn't sound as serious as "colluding with a bandit leader......", right?

Norman wanted to cry without tears, and there was only one thought left: he hurried away now, saying that he and Thomas were not acquainted with each other, and it was too late?

But before Norman could put his ideas into action, there was a sudden commotion on the left.

Norman looked intently and saw a gun fly out of thin air.

It was a black gun, more than five meters long, but incorporeal, and composed entirely of black smoke.

The black spear flew out of the crowd of civilians behind the Holy Cult Army, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere it passed, and no one could stop it, and the extremely hard armor of the Holy Cult Army was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of this black spear.

Suddenly, the black spear had flown in front of Norman and them, piercing through the Mr. Conrad in front of Norman, who was still talking a moment ago but now turned into a stone sculpture and forgot to speak.

Blood splattered and splattered on Norman's face, it was Conrad's blood, and the black gun had pierced his chest.

The gentleman's face was pale, his eyes were scattered, and he looked dead.

The smell of blood poured unscrupulously from his nasal cavity into his trachea, stimulating Norman's blood, causing his pupils to unconsciously open slightly, and then, in a trance in front of his eyes, a man with a burly figure even bigger than him came out of nowhere, stood in front of him and Thomas, stretched out his big hand, held the gun condensed by black smoke, and lay in front of him.

Immovable as a mountain.

"Archbishop. ”

A voice was close at hand, and Norman subconsciously looked along, only to find that a thin old man dressed ordinarily and looking no different from an ordinary civilian was standing beside him and Thomas, saluting Thomas, and the "archbishop" should also be said to Thomas.

The thin old man's eyes were almost open, and he looked like he was about to die, but his steps were agile, and Norman couldn't see how he came here.

However, his name for Thomas surprised Norman.

Didn't you say yes, Archbishop, this is a bandit leader!?

Of course, this title also rekindled hope in Norman's heart: the title of "archbishop" is a member of the Father's Religion at first hearing, so the other party is mistaken? In fact, Thomas is an important figure in the Father's Religion?

Now that he is developed, he holds the thigh of the saint with one hand, and the thigh of the archbishop with the other, and he is just around the corner!

But Lancelot disagreed.

"It's even worse. ”

"If it were an armed force like bandits, it would be better to say, but it turned out to be a religious dispute......

"Religious disputes, that has always been the most cruel......"
