Chapter 44: Worshipping the Mountain
After getting out of the carriage and looking ahead, Qin Shaofu was still a little confused in his heart.
"My lord, there is the Duchy of the Rhine ahead, and according to the regulations, we can't go there. You can follow that address to the local ants and they will help you. ”
There are ants behind him who are carefully advised, but they are also worried, after all, Qin Shaofu is only a fourth-grade Xuan rank now, and there is news that the patriarch is very fond of this young demon hunter and is afraid that something will happen to him on his land.
Qin Shaofu shook his head: "I'm not going to go to them, since the Patriarch has given me such a task, then I will come in my own way, I want to know what kind of task this is." That heretic, now a bandit, is in that mountain, isn't he?"
"Yes!"
"Then please help me do something, inform the ants of the Rhine, if the Principality of the Rhine wants to encircle and suppress this bandit, give me information in advance. ”
"There is no need to ask them, according to our intelligence, in five days, the army of the Rhine will come. If nothing else, I'll go first, and be careful yourself. ”
The man saluted, and then drove away in his carriage.
Qin Shaofu took a look at the direction of the mountain, touched the long knife on his waist, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the mountain.
It was late autumn, the weather was cold, and for some reason, he had a feeling that maybe something even colder was waiting for him.
A pagan is a believer who believes in other gods. The most direct manifestation of this is that what they cultivate is different from that of the Holy See's Light God believers.
And the most fundamental thing to cultivate is the power similar to magic.
Just like the Holy See, which believes in the God of Light, the light magic practiced by the monks is the orthodox power of the true God of Light, while the knights can only be regarded as minors in the power of the God of Light. This is also why, in the Holy See, the position of a monk is higher than that of a knight.
The Saracens practice occult arts and believe in the beginningless god.
Melia, who uses Brooke, practices the secret art of the dead and believes in the god of the underworld.
This time, the pagans were different, and the information showed that they were practicing fire magic and believing in the god of chaos.
Flames create chaos, and this heretic has become a bandit and a part of it. According to intelligence, he is not strong enough to unleash some fire magic, but not to the extent of creating great destruction.
Such a man should not have used the Dark Arbitration, but Hadros sent himself anyway. He must know the cause and effect, and Qin Shaofu didn't have many clues that he could know now, and there was one of them that made him pay special attention.
The target this time, Buck, was a knight before becoming a heathen, a knight who believed in the god of light.
I took out the portrait, took one last look, remembered the appearance deeply and tore it up. Then enter the mountains and go deeper. There are no basic trails here, which shows that it is really uninhabited.
The Duchy of the Rhine is the largest principality within the Holy Empire, with the largest area, the largest population, and even the largest army. Because they have to defend not only the country, but also the West Sea.
The relationship with the royal family, Qin Shaofu already knew something, it was already sensitive, but now, it has become even more delicate.
Alex became the carrier of Michael, and the Sword of the Holy Spirit should have belonged to him, but now it was in the hands of Grand Duke Henry of the Duchy of the Rhine.
Some people say that the royal family will unite with the Holy See to force the Holy Spirit Sword, and some people say that the Principality of the Rhine has long been dissatisfied with the heaven-given sword and covets the throne, in short, the civil war will break out at any time.
It is precisely because of this that the ants of the Dark Arbitration are careful, and the ants of the royal territory will not easily enter the Duchy of the Rhine.
And this place is the border between the Rhine and the royal family, and in order to converge, or to avoid touching a random broken silk thread, the two sides did not send heavy troops to garrison, so the bandits had room to survive.
After turning over the mountains, to a place in the depths, seeing the mountain stream in front of him, there was a thatched path, Qin Shaofu pressed one hand on the handle of the knife on his waist.
A few steps further, a few feathered arrows were heard swishing through the air. Qin Shaofu had already prepared, his body was slightly sideways, he easily dodged, and then stood still.
There was silence for a moment before someone in front of me shouted, "Who are you?"
"My name is Roger!" Qin Shaofu shouted loudly: "I can't live outside, come here to beg for food." ”
There was a commotion over there, and after a while, a person came out, wearing a leather jacket, with gray hair, followed by several thin men, with cold eyes, walking three meters away, staring at Qin Shaofu.
After a while, he asked, "How can I trust you?"
"You have to believe me!" Qin Shaofu said: "Don't think it's still safe here, I brought the news to make a nomination, and in three days, the Rhine's army will reach the outside of the mountain, and after a day's rest, it will start searching the mountain." ”
Hearing this, the gray-haired man immediately turned pale: "What evidence is there?"
Qin Shaofu spread his hands: "It's not easy for me to find out this news, do you think it's possible for me to get the evidence?" In short, believe it or not, I brought the news. ”
The gray-haired man frowned, thought in his heart for a moment, and then laughed: "How can you let me believe you? I knew that the Rhine's army was coming, but you actually went up the mountain." If it's not an idiot to death, it's a spy sent by the Rhine. Obviously, you're not the former. ”
"Is this all you have to do?" Qin Shaofu shook his head: "For me, there is nothing more enjoyable than defeating those pretentious knights. Even if there aren't many people, there are still some. Those guys in armor don't have half an advantage when they go to the mountains. ”
In the Holy Empire, only knights are qualified to lead the army.
The gray-haired man frowned again, and he didn't speak after thinking for a long time.
Qin Shaofu shook his head: "I don't understand, you are a person of the ninth rank of the Xuan Rank, is it necessary to be so afraid of me, a guy of the fourth rank of the Xuan Rank? Don't worry, after defeating these Rhine troops, I will leave." ”
The man stared at him and asked, "What is your origin, and why did you come to help me?"
"Of course it's not plain. Qin Shaofu shook his head: "There is a condition, after defeating the Rhine's people, your people can only harass the Rhine, and cannot step into the royal family's territory for half a step." “
The white-haired man suddenly realized: "It turns out that you are from the royal family." “
Qin Shaofu stretched out a finger and shook his head: "I didn't say anything." “
"Understood!" The white-haired man nodded, walked over and held out a hand, "My name is Freeman, and I'm the head here." “
Qin Shaofu also stretched out his hand and shook it: "My name is Roger, and I just want to stay here for a few days." “
Freeman pulled Qin Shaofu and patted him on the chest: "Okay, you friend, I've made it." “
Qin Shaofu smiled and didn't say much.
When the group walked into the mountain pass in front of them, they saw a stockade, and after entering, Qin Shaofu saw a person sitting in front of a wooden house at a glance.
With red hair and a face full of vicissitudes and tiredness, it is the target Buck.
