Chapter 14: Small Talk
"The two of them have already entered the city and are now staying in a small inn on Third Street. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" The middle-aged man wearing a gold-colored cross badge on his chest said respectfully to the old man sitting in front of him.
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, the old man nodded slightly and said, "Let people look at them." Don't act rashly until your whereabouts are ascertained. ”
"Yes!" the middle-aged man bowed.
The knight in silver armor, who was originally standing respectfully on the sidelines, frowned when he heard the old man's words, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Lord Bishop, we can directly attack and catch them, why wait for them to show their feet?" The knight paused for a moment, and after seeing that the old man was not angry, he continued, "At the beginning, in Kaidas, because there were Yuan He's people, we didn't take the liberty of making a move. But now, they're in Merse. If the 'scepter' is really in his hands, then we can ......"
"Nuis, we're not targeting the 'scepter' now. Before the knight named Nuis could finish speaking, the old man lying on the chaise longue categorically interrupted him.
"But the 'scepter' ......," the knight named Nuis seemed a little surprised by the old man's words. Not only Nuis, but even the middle-aged man beside him frowned, looking puzzled.
More than a thousand years ago, it was precisely because of the birth of the "Scepter" that the Soul Yan Empire, which originally ruled the entire soul world, collapsed, and the Cult of Light, which was revered as the "state religion", collapsed. If it weren't for the fact that there was an artifact "Light Crown", and the five masters of the "Scepter" a thousand years ago were not completely of the same mind, then there would be nothing related to the "God of Light" in the soul world now. Although in the end, it was the "Crown of Light" that defeated the "Scepter" and sealed its five parts in five places in the Soul Realm, after nearly 300 years of war, the Cult of Light only occupied the Great Plains in the middle and established the Temple of Light. Don't think that this great plain is the most fertile and vast land, but it is surrounded by the other four powers. With the Sea Emperor Alliance in the east, the Ice and Snow Kingdom in the north, and the Fire Empire and the Fallen City in the south and west respectively, these four major forces are eyeing the Temple of Light.
To add insult to injury, 300 years ago, someone unlocked the seal that sealed the "scepter" in the first place. Although it was only a part, it was with one-fifth of the "scepter" that the powerful man named Ahimoga quickly unified the islands and coasts of the East China Sea, and then went straight to the holy capital of the Temple of Light. Although outside the Holy Capital City, it was once again defeated by the "Light Crown", but it did give a big blow to the Temple of Light, which had just recovered a little breath. But now, only more than 150 years later, the "Scepter" has once again appeared on the Soul Continent.
If someone else said such a thing in front of Nuis, he would probably have passed the "Sword of Light" with one move. But the other party is an archbishop, and the most beloved of the three bishops, Archbishop Panier.
"Nuis, don't worry, listen to me. A hint of bitterness flashed across Archbishop Panier's face as he continued, "You should know about the temple and about LaBel. ”
At the sight of the name "LaBel", both Nuis and the middle-aged man bowed their heads, and their faces were extremely painful, as if they had received unbearable shame.
Archbishop Panier sighed, ignoring the gaffe of the two in front of him, looked out the window, and said, "Although this time it's about the 'scepter' again, it may not be a turning point for the Temple of Light. ”
"Silver!" After a while, Archbishop Panier suddenly spoke, "only keep an eye on them now, and never attack them unless they do something." ”
When the middle-aged man wearing the cross badge heard this, he was shocked, paused for a moment, and then said, "Yes." ”
――――――――――――――
Merse, in the guest room of an inn.
A young man dressed in black leaned back in a chair, his dark black hair draped over his shoulders, his eyes fixed on a short black rod in his hand. And this short rod is full of lines, just like this young man, which makes people unreal.
"Squeak-"
Suddenly, the door was pushed open. From the outside, a young man about 1.7 meters tall, dressed in a light blue suit, with long light blue hair tied by a white rope, and on his left shoulder lay a mink covered in purple hair, and at this moment the mink had its eyes closed, as if it was napping.
As soon as he heard the sound of the door being opened, Leng Chifeng quickly put the short stick in his hand into his arms, and when he saw that it was Abbas, he was inexplicably relieved.
Originally, when I came to Merse, even if I lined up outside the city for a long time, I was safe. However, not long after Leng Chifeng entered the city, he felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable, as if he had been entangled in a thread.
"Why don't you go?" As soon as these words came out, Leng Chifeng felt that he had asked too much. Because he knows the answer even if he doesn't ask.
Leng Chi Feng met Abbas in Yecheng, and then walked together. Although Yecheng is close to the territory of the Temple of Light, it was formed by some large chambers of commerce and other forces, so the people in the city did not completely believe in the God of Light. Abbas is one of them.
"I should have asked you that, right? After Abbas closed the door, he walked over to Leng Chifeng and sat down. The phantom lying on his shoulder suddenly opened his eyes at this time, jumped off violently, ran towards Leng Chifeng's bed, and finally got into the quilt.
"It's boring, there's almost no one on the street now. With that, Abbas poured himself a glass of water.
Leng Chifeng smiled slightly and said, "Since it's boring, let's talk." ”
Abbas glanced up at Leng Chifeng and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Well, I don't know much about Soul Luo, anyway, you're Soul Luo, tell me about it. ”
