Chapter 126: Situation and Tasks (I)
......
......
......
"It's very gratifying to see you all in this together, although I don't know exactly what the upper authorities want Christopher to do when they leave the team, but I will try to fight for this from above...... Ah, by the way, you don't have to worry about it for a while, you can still act together until the specific mission is down. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Thank you. Nodding his head in gratitude, Moll turned his thoughtful gaze to Dondal, "So, what is our mission in the meantime?"
"Don't worry, I just said that there are two things I want to explain, although it seems that it doesn't matter if you don't explain, but the taste of being misunderstood is not very pleasant. Anyway, the tea is going to be cold. ”
Seeing that everyone had taken away the teacups, the middle-aged man, who was finally able to "smile more realistically", continued.
"Well, if you can, tell me how about this tea later, then, here's the second point. Captain More, do you remember what the orders you received when you were in Yaski?"
"Don't participate in the extermination of the bandits with the Order, go to the Magic Academy as soon as possible, and the three points of 'watch out for the temple', right? The first two points can be explained with urgent tasks that need to be explained, although this explanation is a bit weak now. ”
"Haha, talking to smart people is ...... Ah, you go on. ”
"Then, if it weren't for the urgent task that needed us, the words "Beware of the Temple" might have been the explanation of the first two points. Can you give us any further clarification?"
"Very good analysis, maybe losing Lance has made you more sharp...... Ah, it's my gaffe, you're a general who can command a side, and this level of thinking is nothing. ”
To tell the truth, Moore disliked a man like Dondal who talked a lot.
"The second reason to explain is the current situation. ”
"The situation?" it was Vena who spoke, and the deliberate pause in the other party's speech seemed to be expecting a response from others, and the female magician who had this habit had also seen a few, "Since you want to explain, let's be more detailed, after all, we have been away from the Republic for almost three months." Did something happen?"
"A lot has happened. If I explain them one by one, your impression of me will change badly, so let me think about how to summarize it...... By the way, how about saying that our relationship with the Temple has broken down?"
- It would have been easy to say this earlier.
Both Vina and Moore thought the same way, however, the two who understood the reason did not show a relieved or relaxed look because of this, but their faces changed suddenly.
The relationship between the association and the temple is broken, but a simple sentence means that Southwell is about to change dramatically.
"It looks like you understand the seriousness of the matter. ”
With an empty teacup dangling in his hand, Dondal realized his mistake in an instant. As described above, of the five people on the other side, only Moore and Vina reacted to his speech, as for the others......
Troy's small but bright eyes gleamed with curiosity, and as Dondal had learned, the teenager lacked some basic common sense.
Christopher's words were still the same indifferent to everything, and there was no change in the demeanor on her delicate face, but it made the middle-aged man's heart sink and he seemed to think of something.
"What, is there any tea?"
Finally, there is Ralph, and among the information that Dondal knows, the identity of this smacked tongue man is the most "simple" of the team's five people so far, well, it seems that not only is his background, but his mind is also the "simplest".
After all, Troy seems to have a fairly bright mind and learns quickly.
"I'm glad to hear you say that, but let me finish for now. ”
At least ninety-nine out of a hundred people in Southwell believe in the true God. The word "temple" does not simply refer to a place where devout believers gather for prayer, but rather to represent the "supreme" organization in which all believers in the true God obey his guidance. Objectively speaking, the influence of the temple is even greater than that of any country in this land.
Out of their belief in the true God, the people also trusted the temple as an organization that carried out the will of the true God and the priests within it.
The priests of the temple are the most devout believers in the true God, and this piety also gives them the ability to listen to the oracles of the true God. The true God is merciful, and they cannot bear to see the world they have created filled with smoke and war, so there has been more than one time in the 500-year history of the New Earth Calendar when the temple has intervened in wars between nations.
"The reason for the conflict is that the association's goal of 'building a better new world' has angered the 'bottom line' of some of the fanatics among the clergy, who see this idea as tantamount to denying the value of the world created by the true God. What can I say? Fanatics are terrible, do they only live in their own ideals?"
There was a hint of indignation in his words, and in Dondal's view, there were too many "unfair" and "unbeautiful" things in the world, and this was the idea that most of the members of the association had in their hearts.
"Actually, this contradiction between the association and the temple has not been a day or two, and now it is only the other party that clearly expresses its 'hostility'. Hah, in the past three months, eleven teams of Executors have been persecuted by the Temple, and the sudden disaster has brought our efforts in the Republic to a complete collapse over the years, and several Guides have been put on trial for being accused of 'blasphemy'...... Have you ever heard the name Fonz?"
Perhaps the reality mentioned earlier was so shocking that no one responded to him for a while.
"Well, you may be a little unfamiliar with his name, it's my fault. So, how is this so? The first pillar of the 'Six Priests', the 'Knight of the Sky Peng', the fair and true Fonz ......"
As soon as this statement came out, except for Troy, who had not yet heard the term, even Christopher and Ralph changed their faces.
The resounding name of the "Six Divine Officials" is almost unknown to everyone in this land.
"The first pillar of the 'Six Priests', in other words, the leader of the temple. So what did this 'big guy' do to us?"
"Alas...... It's hard to put into words. Shaking his head bitterly, the mention of Fonts was a person who almost bit his lips with mixed feelings, "Just like his name, Fonts is a man who demands 'justice' and cares more about 'truth' than anyone else, and he is jealous and hateful, he can be said to be the nemesis of all evil in the world."
