CHAPTER 6 CHAPTER XXXIV
The voice of the Minotaur High Priest's oath echoed in the main hall for a long time, as if it was very powerful and service-oriented. But when the High Priest returned to the table, Lancelot shook his head faintly and said, "High Priest Tima, this oath alone is probably enough. ”
The High Priest's browless brows furrowed together, and the two flames in his eye sockets were exuberant. Before Tima could speak, a dozen or so minotaur guards at the gate of the palace had already let out an angry roar and rushed in directly with the double-sided axe that was a man high. From the moment these seven people walked into the main hall, their eyes and attention never left. Like the Templars, they also have a lot of fire and killing intent in their hearts. And such suspicion is not only disrespectful to the horned demons, but also an insult to the high priest.
"You still don't believe the oath made by the shrine, what do you hairless monkeys want?, do you think we're still as treacherous and godless as you are?" rooler screamed. The Harpy does not believe in the Horned Demon Sect of the Minotaurs, but her reverence for the gods she believes in is common to all subhumans.
The minotaur who rushed over had already wheeled up the big axe, and the huge body that was nearly three meters tall and the power of the huge double-sided axe was even more fierce than a rhinoceros hitting it. But the seven Templars at the table were still seated, unmoved.
"Enough. The voice of the High Priest of Tima rang out like a drum. The Minotaur warrior's footsteps immediately stopped. The High Priest looked at the Templars, and they did not move, even if he knew that if anyone moved, someone might die.
"Okay. I understand. High Priest Tima waved at the two minotaur guards. "Go and bring my two sons. Soon after, two and a half sized small minotaurs were brought into the main hall. The human-like height suggests that the two minotaurs are far from underage, and even those who are not very familiar with the minotaurs' physiognomy can tell that they are twin brothers.
"These are my two sons, the only two sons. I can send them to Celeste as a pledge of our covenant oath. The High Priest's voice grew heavier and heavier. "Well, Lancelot Paladin, do you think such a guarantee should be enough? ”
Lancelot's eyes scanned over the two little minotaurs, and he seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally nodded.
"Okay, that's it. ”
After writing a letter, Lancelot handed the letter to the Pope and two of Celeste's unique teleportation scrolls to the two young Minotaurs. Then the two sons of High Priest Tima used the teleportation scroll and disappeared from the main hall. Seeing the figures of the two sons dissipate, the expression on the face of the high priest of Tima twitched a little, and he snorted heavily and sat down on Shi Qi, and the minotaur guarding the entrance of the palace had a low roar in his throat, and the heavy snort indicated that the emotions of these monsters were extremely unstable.
The expressions of the Templar Knights were much more relaxed. No doubt. This means that they have indeed gained the upper hand. But only Lancelot still looked unhappy, looked at the Minotaur High Priest, who seemed to be in a very depressed mood, and said, "In that case. We can also feel your sincerity. Then ask High Priest Tima to tell us about your plans and details. "Negan has a teleportation magic array. Granny El still has a scroll, but Asa can't use it. He wasn't a guest in the underworld, and even if he was alone, he didn't have the confidence to find where he was going in a completely unfamiliar environment.
It is said that the teleportation magic circle is located in the middle of the Minotaur's territory, where countless labyrinths crisscross it that can starve any foreign creature to death.
And he was accompanied by Aimeh and Talis, and Asa couldn't do it that way. Fortunately, he had already been mentally prepared for the long journey, and several of the scrolls he scavenged from the Tower of Teeth were high-level elemental summons.
From the Calondo Basin to Negan, it was almost customary to indulge in the east and west of the continent, even if it was the extravagant way of traveling with the air element.
It will take twenty or thirty days to arrive. Luckily, the scrolls are sufficient.
At first, Asa asked Aimei to go to Erathia and wait, but Aiyime insisted on following him and Talis. And Granny El actually approved of her going with her.
"Your trip to Negan is either unhindered. Either that, or it's not a small problem. Sandru has let it go, and I will never wade into this muddy water again, and it is my limit to get to this point now. I can't do anything more for you. Having a water mage among you should be of some help. ”
Asa shook his head: "Since the trouble is not small, I can't let Aiyime go." ”
Ai Yimei also said firmly: "I only have Sister Talis and you now, two relatives, no matter how big the trouble is, I must go with you." ”
In the end, at Aiyime's insistence. Asa had no choice but to let her sit on the Qi Elemental with her. Ever since she had taken Talis as her sister, the little girl had finally regained some vitality and vitality. Talis's face had not been very good, ever since she heard Granny El's words.
"Do you want to know what's going on? Well, let me tell you, twenty years ago, Magnus, who was still Cardinal, hired me to kill Deken. Then he took the opportunity to sit on the papal throne. Of course I use this half of the scepter as a memorial, and I have to admit that he is the hardest of all I have ever killed. It was also the last one I killed before I accepted the hire. Granny El looked at the female knight who would never give up if she knew the truth, and said lightly.
"No way. How can you kill His Majesty Deken.....? But ......?" Talis was shocked by the truth before she said this.
"Killing people and fighting head-on are two different things, didn't that kid Lancelot teach you that? And I'm not the only one who did it, and of course that Magnus guy helped a lot. That guy seems to have a little bit of an idea of going down the ground and killing me, but luckily he just seems to have this thought, or the pope of the day would be Ronis or Eschel. ”
"That kid Lancelot should know a little bit about this, even though he wasn't a member of the church at the time, you can go back and ask him. But I advise you not to ask Magnus himself, or I promise that he will kill you, and perhaps show me your head as a sign of his apology and sincerity to me. ”
"It can't be, such a thing..... How could such a person be a pope? How could he sit in such a high position?"
"Don't be intimidated by this little thing, I don't need to tell you more complicated reasons for it. You must know that the more noble and glorious the place is, the more complex it is, the more complicated it is, the dirtier it is. Celeste and the Pope are so high that of course they can't climb up by ordinary means. Compared to Shining Castle, the toilets in the inferior hotels seem to be cleaner. Granny El paused, then added with a smile. Patching up Talis's imminent collapse made her faint along with Asa's head. "But your teacher, Lancelot's boy is a good man. It's rare to see such a good person, or a good man, but it's a pity that he is still a little hairy, and his temper is a little rushed, and he missed the opportunity to pursue me, hehe. ”
If it had been Talis before, it would have been enough to make her draw her sword desperately, but she was at least able to live with these things that sounded strange and completely different from what she knew, because everything that had happened in this time had taught her that it might indeed be true.
However, knowing is knowing, enduring is enduring, and accepting and agreeing from the heart is certainly not something to be done in a short time. The summoned air elemental can only last for half a day at most. Fly every day until after evening. The three of Asa would camp and rest by the ditch fire on the game they caught, and then set off after dawn. Although there is no need for movement above the qi element. But facing the strong wind of the flight for a whole day will make anyone tired enough.
"The world ..... How can it be like this? Even the highest incarnation of light in the continent, the Pope, is like that, so ....... What about justice, what about light, is there any such thing?' For two or three days, the young knight of the Goddess Temple muttered this sentence in his mouth, and his expression was in a trance.
"I'm just now realizing that you're really like a friend of mine....... A former friend?" Asa said one night when he heard Talis's words again, not knowing whether to complain or talk to herself.
"Your friend, like me?" asked Talis, stunned. She was in this trance all day long.
"yes, it's very similar, at least it's the same when I'm confused. Asa smiled. "It's the captain of the Paladins who betrayed us in the royal capital of Ironfast. He's a friend of mine, a good friend of mine before. ”
"I'm like him, that shameless villain who colluded with Javey, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"A long time ago, he also believed in the ideals of justice and light. Probably more than you believe....." Asa smiled and looked at the ditch fire, which was burning vigorously, constantly beating in his eyes, his eyes were misty, immersed in memories. Although it was only two years ago, it has long since become inhuman, and even the slightest trace has disappeared, and it looks like a world away in retrospect.
You are at least a Templar and capable of carrying out your ideals to sustain yourself, so you believe it. But he was just a young knight who had just returned from Erathia, and he still had to believe it..."
