Chapter 13: Worship
"Abbas, didn't you say that no one is in the city at this time?
At this moment, Leng Chifeng and Abbas are lining up outside the city of Merse. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but seeing that they are at the end of a long "human snake", I don't know when they will be in line.
"I don't know," Abbas took the horse by the hand, leaned forward, looked at a "long snake" in front of him, frowned, and looked puzzled, "I have been to Melse before, and I can enter the city in a few dozen minutes at most." ”
As he spoke, Abbas looked around again, and continued, "Melse is not a military location, a commercial treasure or anything like that, and there are no mineral veins nearby, why are so many people going into the city now?"
"Two little brothers, don't you know?" Before Abbas could finish speaking, he saw a middle-aged man in front of them, who looked to be in his forties, turn around and ask.
"What?" asked Abbas and Leng Chifeng almost simultaneously.
Looking at the puzzled faces of the two young men in front of him, the middle-aged man understood that they really didn't know. Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man began to speak, "You should know that there are three major knights and three bishops under the command of the Pope of the Temple of Light, and among the three major bishops, there is an Archbishop Panir who is called the 'Sage Sage', right?" Seeing one of the young men nodding, the middle-aged man continued: "Today, even today, this 'Holy Sage' will preside over the service in Melse. As he spoke, his tone became more and more respectful.
"Oh, no wonder there are so many people!" After listening to the middle-aged man's explanation, Abbas suddenly realized and said, "Although Merse is also a city affiliated with the Temple of Light, it is a remote city after all, and it is across the river from the Fire Empire. Not to mention bishops, even ordinary deacons and elders rarely come to such a place. ”
"Yes, that's right. Hearing the young man in front of him say this, the middle-aged man strongly agreed, and said, "So, this is a rare opportunity, and this is Archbishop Panier himself to preside over the service." Several nearby villages, towns, came to Merse early in the morning to hear Archbishop Panier preside over the service. ”
Hearing this, Leng Chifeng frowned, felt a little strange, and asked out loud: "Since this is the case, then why does that archbishop still want to come here...... Well...... Presiding over the service?"
"I don't know exactly why I'm here. Hearing Leng Chifeng's inquiry, the middle-aged man replied without hesitation, "However, I heard that Archbishop Panier is here to ...... Well...... I don't remember exactly where it went, but it was said to be dangerous, and it was shrouded in a black fog. That black mist, with just a little bit of it, is enough to corrode your whole person cleanly, regardless of any living being. Even if you can resist the black mist, as long as you get in, you will never be able to get out, and no one has come out after entering it anyway. You must know that this black fog is only a hundred miles in radius. ”
Black Mist Dense Forest! Leng Chifeng's heart suddenly tightened.
Because Leng Chi Feng was standing behind Abbas, Abbas did not notice the abnormality of Leng Chi Feng. And the middle-aged man apparently didn't notice, still talking with relish about the gossip he had heard from others.
"But recently, it seems like half a month ago, the black fog there has disappeared. ”
"Gone?" Abbas apparently didn't know about it.
"Well, maybe that's why Archbishop Panier went there. Then on the way back to the temple, I passed Merse, and it happened that today was Sunday, so I stayed and presided over the service. ”
Abbas and the middle-aged man were still chatting with each other, but Leng Chifeng didn't have the heart to listen.
Why is it because of the dissipation of the black fog, just because of this, that a dignified archbishop can be allowed to investigate? The Black Mist Jungle was the Yuan He he met there, was it so coincidental? Perhaps, that thing was really a Horcrux.
In this way, Leng Chifeng followed behind Abbas with a heavy heart.
I don't know how long it took, I don't know how Abbas found an inn, how he haggled the price. Anyway, Leng Chifeng finally finished eating in a hurry, and went back to his room to rest without saying a word to Abbas. And Abbas could see that Leng Chifeng seemed to have something on his mind, so he didn't bother him.
――――――――――――――
In a room in the very center of the city of Melse, an old man in a cloth robe lay on a chaise longue, holding a cross in his hand, his eyes looking out the window, his eyes half-closed, but full of wisdom.
"God of Light is above. As he spoke, the old man grasped the cross tightly, closed his eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and said something in his mouth.
After a while, the old man slowly opened his eyes, faced the door, and said, "Come in." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open from the outside. Then, through the door, a middle-aged man in leather armor entered, with long blond hair draped over his shoulders, and a gold-colored cross badge on his chest. Behind him was a young man who looked to be no more than thirty years old, dressed in silver-white battle armor, with a helmet in his right hand and a knight's spear nearly two meters on his back, and when he entered the room, he locked the door from the inside.
It wasn't until the knight in armor locked the door that the middle-aged man with the cross badge began to say:
"The two of them had already entered the city and were staying in a small inn on Third Street. ”
