Chapter Ninety-Six: The Baptism of the Celebration Square (Part I)
Back at home, Wang Cuo thought about every detail of the day, whether the two paladins had discovered their identities. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Yuffie also returned, and because he would go to the bank every morning, he almost got into the habit of going to bed early...... But today she was still in front of the door.
"Coming back?" stood in front of the door lit by a candle. She looked at Wang Cuo who came back, her hair had been taken off and scattered behind her back, looking slightly sleepy.
In Wang Cuo's impression, Yu Fei is a silent and very capable person, she just looked at the door and did not come out.
"Hmm. He replied.
The door then closes, and Yuffie locks herself in the room.
Wang Cuo had no choice but to return to his room, followed by Mora......
"Master, I feel a familiar breath coming into the city. "Mora is a puppet, and sometimes her feelings are incredible.
"That's right, another bunch of troublesome guys. Wang Cuo said.
In the City Lord's Mansion, a large courtyard was specially set aside for the paladins.
It was a daily habit for the teams to be away all year round, and every evening the paladins would gather to discuss what had happened throughout the day. Only a hundred or so high-ranking paladins need to participate in such a meeting.
"Rivia, you seem to be interested in the archmage today, I've tested him before, and I always think the magic in him is familiar. No, it's not like magic but more like a special kind of energy, like I've seen it somewhere. "High-ranking paladins can wield the power of the Light, and they are as sensitive to the flow of tiny energy flows as a magus feels about magic.
"I just thought he looked familiar. Livia replied simply.
"It's very familiar, and I've inquired about him. It seems to have become a household name throughout the city of Vanna, and it is also capable of using supernatural magic. It's almost the future star of the entire city. Another paladin said that it was news from having attended Essolda's welcoming ceremony.
Pastor Essolda Lynch thought about this man, who belonged to the same organization of the Light Faith. When they came to Vanna City, they didn't put each other in a good place...... Maybe you should talk to him about this archmage.
"Any questions?" asked Livia, curious.
"It's okay? I just want to make sure. ”
Looking at the smile on the corner of Lynch's mouth, Livia had a hunch...... I hope it's not what I think.
..............................
Over the next few days, the craze for the arrival of the Paladins faded. The conquest of dragons has once again been a hot topic among the citizens of Vanna. This time, there will be the help of the paladins in the city, and if you add the expeditionary force in the city, you will have a landslide victory.
Dragon slaying has always been a matter of conversation in human society. Although the loss is completely disproportionate to the gain, it can show the majesty of a region and even the honor of an entire country. In the long history of mankind, there are many countries that have legends of dragon slaying...... Each of them was the most famous power in the world at that time. The closest one took place in the Adhras Empire.
The king received a report that a dragon had been found in a high tomb, and then organized a crusade of thousands of men. It was an elite force that finally killed the dragon with a loss of three layers, even though the dragon's huge rhino horn was still hanging in the imperial capital of Adrath.
Although dealing with dragons requires a lot of risk, and may even cost lives. But this time the expeditionary force had the help of paladins.
After slaughtering tens of thousands of villagers and destroying the entire mountain, it's time to be punished!
Kill the dragon and hang its head in front of the cathedral door in repentance...... This sentence was gradually affirmed by the citizens of Vanna City, the cathedral and the paladins are both members of the Church of the Holy Light, and they are supposed to lead the people to the light, so the cathedral and the paladins are the first to accept the crusade mission.
For them, the love of the people is far more cherished than their own lives.
With it came the army of Vanna City and the Wizards' Guild...... In a short period of time, the four forces actually recruited an expeditionary force of several thousand people.
At the same time, there was another message from the Paladin.
In order to wish the expedition a triumph, the Paladins will perform a holy baptism in the ceremonial square of the cathedral before the expedition will be held by all the captured members of the "Witch Order".
Wang Cuo looked at the invitation note in his hand.
"What is a holy baptism?" said Yuffie sat beside him, returning from the bank early to-day, because of this.
Yuffie leaned on his glasses, a flash of disgust in the corner of his eye.
"It is to kill all the captives in front of all the townspeople, after a chant of light...... Of course, it mainly depends on the mistakes committed by the other party, some may be poisoned alcohol, and some will be burned alive or other punishments. Yuffie instinctively felt disgusted by this scene, not sympathetic but disliked the scene of the whole people watching the killing.
It's like a kind of fun, and it seems that people everywhere enjoy this kind of torture process. Wang Cuo thought to himself.
"Are you still going?"
"If you don't go, you'll be blamed for sympathy. Yu Fei said, "Especially your status as an archmage, if you don't go, there will be many people who will take advantage of the problem." ”
Yes, it's my own identity again...... In order to survive in the environment of the human kingdom, sometimes you have to take these things into account. It's boring!
He put on his magic robe and dressed up a little. Accompanied Yuffie, he looked back at his home when he walked to the door.
This is the house given to him by the lord of Torre Roswell, and it is also the first home since he came to this world, although it is only 'one person', and the furnishings and displays are very simple, and many things are brought with Yuffie when he moved here.
"What's wrong?"
Yuffie asked, then shook her head.
"It's okay...... I just suddenly wanted to see it. Wang Cuo's voice is not loud, and it is rare to encounter such a whispered voice.
Yuffie just smiled.
"Let's go, I'll be stuck at the door again when it's late. ”
Not everyone has access to the Celebration Square, and many are still exiled from the outside, only watching from afar, or relying on various methods.
Next to the Archmage's Mansion is the City Academy, and many students did not attend classes today, just to watch this baptism of the heathen, which is another time to show honor, and it should be a good day to celebrate the defeat of evil by good.
As the carriage approached the cathedral, the discomfort that came from the body returned, and every time it approached the place, it felt that way.
It's uncomfortable!
The slightly taller buildings around it were all crawled over, and these were probably the people who weren't invited, and could only watch the situation in this way.
When he got out of the carriage, the king was wrong to see the entrance to the cathedral.
