Chapter 67: Experience
Naya, the House of Lords.
Rommel had come to Naya for the first time, and the elven world was full of things that were very different from the human world.
Rommel walked and stopped, looking left and right, and finally, led by Arya, came to the lord's house at the top of the canopy of the Ancient Tree of Life.
Looking at Will, who was sitting at the table, Rommel said respectfully: "My lord, we have obtained the construction rights of Lyon from the hands of the Valen royal family, and there are no major problems in the project. But I heard a rumor on the way here. ”
Will scooped a spoonful of hot water from a nearby iron pot and poured it into the clay barrel cup.
The gurgling hot water touched the tea herbs at the bottom of the cup, and suddenly the color was bright yellow, and the fragrance was fragrant.
Will handed Rommel a cup of tea and asked, "What rumors?"
"Recently, rumors have been circulating in the southern realm that there are alien treasures in the Land of the Wild Moon, which has attracted a large number of adventurers. ”
Speaking of this, Rommel took a sip of tea, the sweet taste filled the tip of his nose, and continued: "Originally, such rumors would spread on the mainland almost every few months. However, this time it was different, because the rumor was referring to the sandman. Moreover, the second group has also come to the small town of Lyon. ”
"What is the matter?" asked Will, confused.
"It's from the Church of the North!"
"Church, their hands are so long!" Will smiled, took a sip of tea, and asked curiously, "Which god does the church believe in, the gods of Asgard?"
Rommel explained: "The eternal god of the Church of the North is the personification of the oldest will, Orlaug. There is one pope in the Holy See, and twelve privy bishops are in charge of the church. The Church has a great influence in the north, and basically every big city has a cardinal in charge of local affairs, with dozens or hundreds of apologists and priests. In addition to this, the armed forces under the direct control of the Pope include the Inquisition, the Knights of the Cathar and the Order of the Sound. Every year, the Holy See recruits young people of the faith from all over the world into these three direct institutions. As the influence of the Church expanded and more and more people joined the Church, the Holy See organized the elite of these teenagers into an independent organization, the Second Son Regiment. ”
"I see!"
With a breeze blowing in, bringing a little coolness, Rommel continued: "If there is no accident, the young men in the second group will be the future middle and high-level candidates of the Holy See. Before they officially join the three major institutions, they will be led by a paladin to travel around the continent. And the second son group who came to the south this time is led by the paladin Duranda!"
"Is that him?"
Duranta is so famous that even Will, who grew up in Wallen, has heard of it.
The youngest and most powerful paladin in the Holy See, he has unparalleled swordsmanship and has never met an opponent in his life. In the most famous battle, he broke into the lair of the Dark Council alone, killed a necromancer of the legendary realm with a sword, and fought a bloody battle with a group of dark mages for a long time, forcing Rezade, the president of the Dark Council of the Stigmata realm, to flee in embarrassment.
Since then, Duranta has become famous in the First World War, and his fame has shocked the north, and he is the evil spirit in the hearts of a group of dark magicians.
There was a hint of worry on Rommel's face, and he said, "Duranta is now the head of the Knights of the Holy Aegis, the most elite of the ten Knights of the Cathars. This time he personally led the team, and things were a little unusual. ”
"Indeed, but what I care more about is where did the rumor that there is a treasure in the Land of the Wild Moon come from?"
In the final analysis, the intelligence force in his hands at the moment is somewhat insufficient. Originally, the dark elves were the best race to find information. They excelled at stealth, assassination, and espionage, and were born assassins and intelligence masters. It's just that now, the number of dark elves in Naya is too small, and there is also a lack of systematic training.
"What do you mean?"
Looking at Will, who was thoughtful, Rommel asked.
"This is a temptation! someone wants to try the depth of the Golden Harvest Chamber of Commerce!"
Rommel stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.
"If you let them try out the depths, maybe it won't be a good thing. Rommel looked around, and beyond the treehouse, the scenery was lush. The world of elves is quiet and full of mystery.
"After all, an elven stronghold, such a temptation is too great for a person. An elven slave can be sold for a sky-high price on the mainland, and the value of the Ancient Tree of Life and natural magic is not something that ordinary magicians can resist. If Naya's existence is discovered, then human armies, adventurers, and magicians will probably flock to it. ”
Arya's brows furrowed, her heart full of worry about the words of the old human in front of her.
"So what are we going to do?"
Rommel glanced at Arya, then turned his attention to the longbow she was carrying behind her. However, Rommel retracted his gaze for a moment and said, "If you can make the ancient tree of life continue to grow and grow into the tree of eternity." When the time comes, even if the human kingdom in the south wants to do it, it will need to be weighed again. ”
"Why?"
Will asked, a little confused. Will clearly didn't know as much about the elves as the more knowledgeable Rommel.
"When the Ancient Tree of Life grows into the Tree of Eternity, the Druid can summon the Chimera with natural magic. The land of the barren moon is difficult to supply, and with a powerful demonic beast like Chimera guarding it, the human army is just sending it to death!"
In order for the Ancient Tree of Life to evolve into the Tree of Eternity, a large amount of Heva Springs is needed! Everything is back to square one, the Temple of the Dead in the Sandman stronghold.
It's just the trouble that now this temple of the dead is occupied by the sandmen. Obviously, they will not be willing to share the fruits with others.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Will's face.
Arya saw it in her eyes and said a little strangely, "My lord, how is your smile... Such a 'treacherous'!"
Arya pestered Will these days to learn the language of the human race, and quickly put it into practice.
"What... Treacherous!" Will waved his hand, a little unhappy at Arya's inappropriate words. "I'm obviously smiling with wisdom!"
Ignoring Arya's obvious disdain, Will beckoned and asked, "You just said that the second group is almost in Lyon Town?"
"Yes!" Rommel nodded.
"And what about them?"
"What do you mean?"
"Their character!"
"The boys of the Second Son Regiment are all pious in their faith, and in their adjectives, they are honest, heroic, fearless, just, and intolerant of evil. ”
"Since they are so upright, then I am relieved!"
