Chapter 40: The Murder of the Dragon
That afternoon, Xia Yu embarked on a journey to Alpha City alone.
In the territory of the St. Kiedon Empire, even the illiterate peasants in the countryside have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people by the belief of the God of Light, and Xia Yu, as the adjudicator, galloped all the way without any stop.
There was no winter snow, no Vivian, and the summer rain arrived in Alpha City in three days.
As the most important fortress in the southeast of the empire, Alpha City was built according to the danger and guarded the key points, and after the faith war with the Tsar, the fortress here was the most important.
The lazy city guards, enjoying the warm sunshine, occasionally glanced at the people passing by the fortress.
Dada-da.
Rushing all the way, Xia Yu did not go directly to find the few follower seeds he had planted, but secretly came to the Alpha Church.
As an arbiter from afar, Xia Yu was naturally brought to the bishop by the priest here.
Not seen in a winter, Bishop Alpha seems to be much older.
"I'm sorry, Bishop Alpha, but I wasn't able to bring back the rest of Team Alpha. ”
After entering the door, Xia Yu muttered in pain, blaming himself incomparably, as if he had reached the heartache, sobbing in a low voice, and couldn't help but repent.
Bishop Alpha looked at Xia Yu for a long time before he said in a low voice: "It's not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself, this is a test for them by the God of Light, and their souls will be rested in eternal peace in the God of Light Realm." ”
With a sigh, Bishop Alpha continued, "Now that you are an arbiter, I am proud of you. Now that you're coming to me, is there anything you need me to help with?"
"Yes. This time the Church sent me on a secret mission, and I wanted to send a few men as coercion, and I asked the bishop to help me secretly transfer me from the city guards here. ”
The status is different, and the way of dialogue is different.
Dressed in precision armor, Xia Yu is like a sharp blade of the Church of Light, and the adjudicator is different from the saints and inquisitors, and generally does not take the initiative to contact the church, but acts as a dagger walking in the darkness, nipping all crises to the church in the bud.
Saying that, Xia Yu seemed to just subconsciously mutter: "Recently, I heard that in the recent principalities, the power of the tsar has increased a lot." ”
......
Night.
A few lazy youths dressed as city guards followed the two knights of the Holy Light and arrived at the Alpha Church at a loss.
In the room, through the snooping of these seemingly flickering soul fires, Xia Yu knew that several people were the little gangsters he had planted in Alpha City before leaving.
Health: 10
Energy: 3
Soul: 1
The person at the head, this little gangster wearing the armor of the Checheng guards, was slightly stunned after seeing the summer rain in the room, and said in disbelief: "Leiluo Holy Light Knight?"
After this winter, these little gangsters have actually cultivated their fighting spirit, and it seems that such a change in their fate has allowed a few guys to find themselves anew, and maybe even truly believe in the God of Light.
Responsible for sending these city guards, the two Holy Light Knights closed the door, leaving Xia Yu and a few people alone in an empty room.
The projection of the sycamore leaves outside the window, as if twisted ghost hands, fell on the window paper, swaying with the night wind, the candlelight swaying the room, the shadows in the corners swayed, the summer rain revealed the arc of the devil's smile, and the white teeth of the forest were particularly conspicuous.
"You've made a lot of progress over the past winter, and I'm really proud of you. ”
Suddenly, after several thugs were confirmed, an undisguised look of gratitude appeared in their eyes.
Before this winter, the five of them were just unworthy gangsters in Alpha City, holding sheep every day, eating and waiting for death, hated by everyone, shameless, and tenaciously lived.
But in this winter, because of Lei Luo's words, the five people completely changed their fate, and from then on they were no longer just insignificant people in the alleys of the market, but had their own social status and became a regular city guard, so they began to train hard and grasp their hard-won life.
Condescendingly, Xia Yu looked at these ignorant people who were infinitely grateful because of their small favors.
Compared to Vivien's poisonous soul to bewitch the devil, these are the followers that the bewitching devil really needs, the followers who open the door to the devil!
After a pause, Xia Yu said slowly: "I have now been promoted to the arbiter of the church, and this time I came to summon a few of you in secret, because there is a special task of the church, and I need the cooperation of a few of you." As a faithful member of the church, I don't think you will refuse, right?"
"Arbiter?Of course!"
The gangster at the head immediately agreed, without thinking twice.
"Ah, you've become an arbiter?"
These little thugs are all about seventeen, eighteen or nineteen years old, more than ten years ago when the Church of Light and the Tsar Faith war, they were only three or four years old, Lei Luo was nine years old that year, and he was able to remember some of the past.
"I don't know what mission you want us to work with? You know, we don't have much power. ”
Xia Yu said flatly: "It's nothing, disguise yourself as a merchant with me, go to the Duchy of Deland, don't be too loud." Pack up and gather here tomorrow morning. ”
didn't give a few gangsters too many opportunities to ask, and didn't explain too much, Xia Yu relieved a few words, and then signaled that he could leave.
After several people left, in the dark hall, Bishop Alpha walked out with the "Bright Ceremony" in his hand.
"Although the Duchy of Teresa has always maintained a neutral stance, we have sent a lot of clergy to the Duchy of Teresa over the years, and the expansion of the faith has not gone well, so you should be careful. ”
"Hmph. ”
Xia Yu disguised Lei Luo's rebellious and confident smile, and said in a low voice: "Bishop, rest assured, this time the church will never repeat the same mistakes as the last war of faith! I believe you have also heard that there are not a few voices within the church advocating the use of force to defend peace, although you are a neutral person, I hope you still have to prepare in advance." ”
"Yes. ”
Silently responded, Bishop Alpha said: "Some secret intelligence information obtained this winter, the pagan saintess you burned to death is likely to be wronged, and the murderer of the priest is someone else, you should be careful." ”
With that, Bishop Alpha slowly left the room.
Kindness!?
Of course, Xia Yu would not think that the Alpha Bishop Church would say this for no reason, and it must be when he has absolute evidence to say this.
As for the one who killed the priest, it doesn't matter if the saint is a saint or not, anyway, they have all been burned to death by the judge as a heretic, listening to the meaning of Bishop Alpha, could the tsar put himself on the blacklist because of this matter?
But it doesn't matter.
This kind of blacklist is not only for the Tsar, but also for the Church of Light, even if it is not for the slaughter of believers and the burning of saints, it is inevitable that he will be blacklisted if he becomes the arbiter of the Church of Light.
......
The next day.
Led by Xia Yu himself, a small caravan loaded with edible salt left Alpha City.
Nine camels, jingling bells and scarves, marching in the blazing sun, this caravan will cross the vast desert next door, and the destination will be the oasis city of the Duchy of Deresa, which will take about seven days to travel.
Three days later.
In the vast desert, the power of people is too small and insignificant, the wind and sand seem to tear people's skin, the sun seems to evaporate the last drop of water in the body, the summer rain is fine, and several thugs have symptoms of discomfort, but they are just holding on.
Suddenly!
As if sensing something, everyone looked at the sky behind them, as long as the cloudless blue, a huge shadow was rapidly approaching, seeing this scene, several thugs were shocked and said: "Dragon, dragon!?"
The dragon, a symbol of evil, power, greed, and destruction, is considered to be the pinnacle creature of this world, and when it occasionally appears, it will inevitably be annihilated in the posture of national war, so that there is the legend of the dragon slayer warrior.
"No way. ”
Xia Yu instantly denied the idea of these little gangsters.
The camels panicked, and judging from the direction of the flight of the shadows, there was no doubt that the target was a few people!
The camel herd has been completely frightened and slumped on the sand, let the slaughter look, several gangsters are also bloodless, open their wings nearly ten meters under the shadow of the bat wings, the wind is fierce, the wind and sand are everywhere, the tyrannical beast breath is revealed, this is a wurm with the blood of the giant spirit, the camel known as the ship of the desert is barely enough for it to have a full meal.
And on its back, a black-robed warrior stood impressively.
"Uh, this guy ......."
Xia Yu looked at the black-robed warrior, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Life:?
Energy:?
Soul:?
There is no doubt that this is a strong man who is far beyond the scope of Xia Yu's soul.
Black gauze robe, inlaid with gemstone animal skin scabbard, refined physique of about 1.7 meters, turquoise amber eyes, calm smile, as if looking at a junior, looking at himself.
Suddenly, Xia Yu remembered, wasn't this person the court worship next to King St. Chiedon?
What is he doing here!
"Hehe, little one, well done, even the hero who might succeed the Pope was killed by you, or did you commit suicide?"
As this person said the words that made Xia Yu's face change drastically, the flying mount monster behind him suddenly roared, and the steel claws that stepped on the sand shook the scaly tail behind him, and with a "snap", a little thug who had not yet reacted was easily whipped out by the scaly tail for more than ten meters, and the sound of broken bones was clearly audible.
"You!"
Xia Yu screamed in shock, but was easily blocked by this strange warrior, allowing the evil dragon monster to use a few thugs as rations and kill them on a large scale.
