The priest bowed his head reverently, with solemnity.

But his black veins and red eyes are too dazzling for people to associate with the word sacred.

Lorne stepped back as well, holding down the Queen's Blade behind his waist. Father Tallinn folded his hands over his chest and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. ”

As he spoke, he took a step back and stood in front of the stone statue of the Grace of the Virgin, arms outstretched. There was a stalemate for a while, and the priest did not attack, and Lorne and the others calmed down a little.

"Guys, you shouldn't have come at this time. "But since you have come, you are my guest." Please come with me. ”

"Wait, Father. Rod stepped forward.

"I know you have a lot of things to ask, so come with me first. The priest turned and left.

Lorne and the others looked at each other, seeing that the priest did not seem to be hostile, but there were too many potential mysteries, so they had to follow up first. Mumu tied the horses to the marble pillars, and Morrick hid behind Fei'er and whispered, "Fei'er, you have to protect me." ”

Fei'er gave him a blank look, and didn't speak. The five of them bypassed the screen and walked through the elevated corridor in the backyard to a room on the right.

Father Tallinn lit the candlesticks on the table, sat them down at the table, turned around and fumbled around the cupboard, taking a packet of dried fruit and a packet of cereal. Five modest wooden bowls were placed on the table one by one, and after the food was distributed, the priest sat at the top of the table.

The eyes of Lorne and the others fell on the priest, and no one dared to touch their food. They are still suspicious, afraid that everything that the priest shows is a false illusion and that the food is a trap.

The priest seemed to see their concerns and sighed: "I know you can't trust me, but I swear in the name of Our Lady Celine that this food is pure. ”

"Why don't you eat, Father?" said Lorne, expressing the doubts in the hearts of the crowd.

The priest shook his head: "I don't need food. ”

"So you're a monster. Lorne said.

"Physically, I'm a monster. But I'm different from the monsters you've come into contact with. The priest replied.

The crowd did not speak, as if unable to fully comprehend his words. The priest paused, and then asked, "Where are you from?"

Before Lorne could answer, the priest shook his head as if he thought his question was stupid, and said with a wry smile, "How is that possible?" The fog was released in the king's capital, how could anyone be spared. Strange Rock City...... It should have fallen long ago. ”

Rod took a deep breath and exchanged views with Lorne. Then, Rod said, "We are from Cape Sails in the south. ”

"White Sail Corner?" the priest was stunned, "Knight Rod, how did you get to that kind of place?"

So Rhodes gave a brief account of the large army moving south, stationing in the south, and being forced to go on the road, but did not explain the route of the march. This information should not pose a threat, so it can be revealed.

After hearing these words, the priest sighed: "Our Lady blesses. His Highness Yughya...... While alive, there is hope for the kingdom. ”

"We are working on purified serum, but we are not yet complete, and when the finished product is ready, we will put it into use on a large scale. "The serum removes the blood and turns the monster back into its original state. ”

These words were even more inspiring, and the priest's voice trembled slightly: "Yes, yes...... I and the residents of Haixin are looking forward to that day!

His speech and demeanor are no different from normal people, but he is indeed a monster. The priest seemed to have a lot to ask: "By the way, Knight Rhodes, you ...... Are you with Lord Ludwich?"

"Yes. Rod nodded.

Lorne whispered, "Who?"

"Centurion. Rod replied. Ludwich, President of the Lionhearts, aka Centurion.

The priest took a deep breath: "So, have you seen my dear child......?" Balza. ”

Lorne was stunned. Early that morning, everything on the fishing boat came to light again, and Balza, who had been pierced by the fish-men, collapsed in a pool of blood. His lips trembled, and his gaze glazed over.

Rod didn't answer, looked at Lorne, and waited for him to answer. Seeing that no one answered, the priest naturally thought of the worst outcome.

He ...... He's dead. It was a few seconds before Lorne whispered a reply.

The dining room fell silent, Lorne's expression frozen in the candlelight, stiff like a ghost. The priest took a deep breath, tilted his head, closed his eyes, and exhaled slowly. But after a long time, he did not continue to inquire about the cause of Balza's death, as if he had chosen to accept reality.

"Please dine. In the end, it was the priest who managed to calm down and break the silence.

After a few short conversations, the suspicions of Lorne and the others gradually subsided. Morrick was so hungry that he grabbed a handful of cereal and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it hastily before swallowing it.

Seeing that there was nothing abnormal after Morick ate the food, Fei'er and Mumu couldn't bear it anymore and began to eat dried fruits. Rhodes felt that Father Tallinn should be trustworthy, so he also pinched a few dried fruits and put them in his mouth.

But Lorne was in no mood, and sat down on the wooden chair in a daze, the deaths of his companions flying before his eyes, and he did not come to his senses until the priest whispered a question.

"What do you call this young man?"

"Lorne Greene. ”

The priest nodded, "You encountered the clan of the evil god in Baifan Town, and you were forced to embark on a journey. So ......"

Lorne paused, inexplicably nervous, but heard the priest ask, "Is that family member with tentacles, or is it a snake tail?"

"Snake tail. Lorne replied, relieved. But after reacting, both Lorne and Rod paused.

"It seems that the current situation is worse than expected. The priest shook his head, "The family of Hagarn is beginning to be awakened one by one. ”

"Father, how do you know these things?" the priest's words made Lorne and Rhodes wary again. It stands to reason that this priest is not a member of the Secret Sacrifice Society, so how can he know so much about the evil god family?

The priest waved his hand and motioned for the two to not be nervous. He coughed lightly and said, "I have too much to tell you about the release of the mist. After I have finished speaking, please be sure to convey it to Her Royal Highness. ”

For these things are related to the future of the kingdom, whether they belong to the evil gods or to the human race. The priest whispered, "First, if you want to return to the royal capital, you must go to the Isle of Silence on the way, and go as soon as possible to prevent the resurgence of your clans. ”

"Second, if you can kill the clansmen, you must destroy their bodies. ”

"Third, if that person is in your large army, be vigilant. For I do not know if he belongs to the Atonement as I am. ”

Lorne and the others' eyes widened. They didn't know what the Atonement was, but the priest's words shook them like a thunderbolt: "Who is it?"

"Knight of the Lionhearts, Renus. ”
