Chapter 168: There's a plan
Centuries ago, Queen Isabella of Castile in Spain, claiming to be the Lord's Edict, asked Pope Sidao IV to establish an Inquisition. Then, there were bloody operations against heresy again and again.
"Over the centuries, the Holy See has been divided and broken, and the Dark Realm has signed a non-aggression pact, but evil organizations such as the Inquisition continue to carry out slaughter. Everywhere they went, they were miserable. ”
Dylan played with the gold coins in his hand, his eyes looking into the void as if in a daze. On the side, Paula and six Spaniards stood with their hands tied, listening quietly to him.
After a pause, Dylan spoke again, "Paula, I have a plan that I need you to help me realize." ”
"Please command. Paula nodded yes.
Dylan flicked the gold coin in his hand, and the gold coin made a graceful arc in the air, flying towards Paula.
Syllable!
Paula didn't raise her head, grabbed the gold coin casually, and then heard Dylan speak: "The witch's hammer is recorded, and the spellcasters who are hiding in the deep mountains and forests or towns. ”
"I want you to take me and find them. ”
"Yes!" Hearing Dylan's words, Paula was puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask.
"We want to gather all those who are persecuted by the Holy See, whether witches, elves, mages, or infidels. As long as enough people are gathered, they can form a force that will make the Inquisition look away. ”
Dylan's eyes shone brightly, and he seemed to think of something exciting.
Paula raised her head, and saw Dylan's expression thinking about what Dylan said, and she had a faint bad premonition in her heart.
"Master, you mean ······. Paula hesitated.
"Not bad!"
Dylan interrupted, "I need to gather all the persecuted spellcasters to fight against the Inquisition and the Crusaders. ”
Paula's eyes widened sharply, and she shouted in horror, "Master, you said you were going to fight against the Inquisition." ”
"You'll help me, won't you!" Dylan turned his head and stared at Paula with burning eyes. From the look in his eyes, there was no joke.
Paula looked nervous, although she hated the Inquisition and the Holy See, the forces of the light side, she never thought of taking the initiative to confront them.
The "Holy See" is a religious bloc that spans dozens of large European powers. Although there are divisions due to different doctrines and countries, it is not something that a small character like her can easily provoke.
In her opinion, it is understandable for Dylan to want to form his own forces, but it is simply impractical to confront forces such as the Holy See.
If it's not good, it will die.
"Why, don't you want to?" Dylan's voice became a little muffled when he saw that Paula hadn't replied for a long time.
Paula shook her head and hurriedly said, "No, of course not! Master, your willingness to take the lead in resisting these evil forces is simply a blessing for the people and the well-being of society." Paula is willing to give everything she has and fight for her master until the last drop of blood is given. ”
Paula's endless praise made Dylan a little embarrassed to hear it. He coughed heavily, interrupted Paula, and then said slowly, "You take a few of them to prepare supplies, and tomorrow morning, we will set off for Port America." Once I'm done with my business, the plan will start to be executed. ”
Dylan could see Paula at this time, and he comforted softly: "Don't worry, I will go with you on this operation, safety is not a problem." ”
Paula nodded vigorously.

Whoa, whoa, whoa······· Whoa, whoa, whoa·······
The sun is in the sky, the sun is scorching, and it is a good weather for travel. There was a burst of thunder, and suddenly it rained in the sky.
The weather in March and April is like a child's face, and it changes when it is said, but Dylan and his party, who are on the way, have to find a place to hide.
Tapping···· Tapping···· Tap ······
Raindrops the size of beans fell in the sky, mixing with the soft soil of the American continent, forming mud puddles. The horses trampled on the mud puddle, and the mud splashed wildly.
Fortunately, among Dylan's party, there is Paula, who is proficient in various spells. Otherwise, with Dylan's current ability, he can only ensure that he will not be splashed by dirty water, but he can't bless everyone with a magic shield to protect everyone from the wind and rain.
Click····· !
The lightning flashed, and Dylan looked far away, and noticed a lush shadow not far ahead.
"There was a forest in front of us and we went inside to take shelter from the rain. ”
With that, Dylan picked up his horse's speed and led the group in the direction of the forest.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and a transparent curtain seemed to open between the heavens and the earth, blurring the whole world.
In this storm, Dylan and his party were not the only ones who were hindered from their journey.
"Hurry up! ”
A big man covered in mud dragged a thin horse through the forest with difficulty, ten meters behind him, followed by two carriages and a team of more than 30 people.
Looking at the direction they were heading, it was a hillside. At the bottom of the hillside, there is a huge ditch just enough to keep out the rain.
In the woods, the ground is full of fallen leaves and rotting fruits, soaked in rainwater, and it takes a lot of effort for people to pull out every foot they enter. The wheels sink into this soft muddy ground, which is also a forward inhibition.
Fortunately, these thirty or so people were all powerful men, and they pushed the carriage forward in groups of four, and came to the bottom of the hillside in less than half an hour.
"Lady Grace!"
The man touched his face, turned around and shouted at the carriage, "We have found shelter from the rain." ”
A childish voice came from the carriage, "Well done, Rudolph. Carry the carriage over at once, I don't want to get drenched in the rain. ”
"Good ma'am!"
With a wave of his hand, the four men lifted the carriage of the carriage and walked towards the ditch.
They carefully lifted the carriage under a large broken stone, and then Rudolph approached and said, "Ma'am, you can come out." ”
Squeak!
The carriage door opened, and a light figure jumped out of it. Then a hurried voice came from inside the carriage: "Mrs. Grace, please get off the train slowly." If you fall here, you will lose the grace of the nobility. ”
As he spoke, out of the carriage came a charming young woman in a bright yellow dress. She hurriedly got out of the car, then grabbed the light figure from before, and whispered, "Grace! ”
The light in the ditch was dim, but with the slightest glimmer of light, the figures and faces of the two could still be seen.
The scolded Mrs. Grace was a young girl who was less than 1.5 meters tall and had baby fat on her face. At this moment, she was glaring fiercely at the young woman who was holding her arm with a pair of big round eyes.
"Andrea, I'm getting married, please don't treat me like a child. ”
Lady Grace puffed out her face and confronted Andrela in her delicate voice. And Andrela is also uncompromising, and the two of them will not admit defeat to each other.
Just then, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves outside.
