In the endless gravel field, a hooded figure walked slowly.

It was a place of chaos and sin, bandits, rebels, goblins, gnolls, trolls...... All the creatures you can imagine that could take your life during a journey have a chance to appear here.

But now, after a sweep by the Knights of the Holy Sword, the wilderness, which was full of noise and carnage, and could not be quiet even at night, seemed to be able to enjoy peace at last.

Along the way from the small town, Ellie encountered only a gang of goblins - and after Ellie killed a few of their companions, they scattered in all directions.

Elle vividly remembers that when she first passed through here four years ago, she was not as calm as she is now, and of course, there was not a ghostly follower around her at that time.

Fearing that fighting in the city would attract the attention of the church, Elle gave up her plans to stay in the city. She hurried out of the city, trying to shake off the inexplicable old man. But she soon discovered that not only could she not shake him off, but what was even more surprising was that the old man with a white beard seemed to passers-by as if he were a non-existent person—no one noticed him, no one noticed him, no one responded to his voice, no one could catch him in sight...... Except for yourself.

"You...... What is it?" said Ellie.

"I ...... What is it?" the old man stroked his beard and seemed to fall into a memory: "Fifty years ago, I thought I was a genius, I thought I could do something that all the martial artists on the entire continent could not do, so I gave up the throne in my hands, gave up my true love, and became a lonely walker. ”

"Thirty years ago, my country was wiped out by the war in the Northlands, and although I didn't think about it, I returned to my homeland and slaughtered the royal family of the invaders, but one prince survived hiding in the well of the palace. I knew he existed, but I left without care, and at that time, I was still a walker who followed my own path. ”

"Five years ago, I met the prince again, and he revealed his identity to me, but instead of avenging me, he tried to win me into his church, which I refused. Subsequently, we had a battle...... I lost, and although I barely escaped, I seemed to have lost my way from then on. ”

"A lifetime of pursuit, but it can't withstand the borrowed external force. The old man said calmly, with no joy or sadness on his face: "I have been wandering on this continent for too long, so long that it is ...... I almost forgot who I was. So even if you ask me now, I can't give you an accurate answer. ”

In the open wilderness, the sky has been slightly dark, but the most active time is the mosquito, such a long paragraph, the old man finished in a slow tone, standing in place he was dressed in a white robe, clean and dusty, but Elle had to endure the bite of mosquitoes.

Luckily, Elle has always been patient.

After listening to the old man's words, she spoke, "Why do those humans turn a blind eye to you?"

"Human ...... I always subconsciously avoid too harsh light. The old man replied slowly.

"So, who was that prince thirty years ago?"

"You've guessed it, haven't you?"

Elle was silent for a while, and then she asked again, "So, you're an Avenger?"

"No, I'm not. Now there is only one Avenger standing here. The old man stroked his beard.

"So, why are you following me?"

"I told you, I just wanted to see your sword. ”

"Bang~" a soft sound.

The sword is unsheathed.

......

"So, they've been dominating the Northland for a year?"

"Yes. On the top of the hill in the royal capital, the owner of the White Spring Palace replied affirmatively: "A year ago, the last kingdom of Ilmat had already perished, and after that, although the overall situation had been decided, there were still skirmishes with the remnants of various places...... Until now, after a year, His Majesty the Pope of the Holy City must have almost cleared up these resistance forces. ”

It's been a year...... Sure enough, the information he had collected when he was in Ailay was too long-lasting, and Enid thought helplessly. However, intelligence gathering is not something that can be done overnight, after all, it is only a few days, and in the process of sorting, induction, and errata she has already had to use spells to assist, and in this regard, Enid's prophecy spell cannot give her more help.

This world has lost contact with the outer realm, so many high-level prophecy spells have become invalid, because the essence of these high-level prophecy spells is actually to ask a question to a high-level being in the outer realm through magic. Of course, this so-called "high-level being of the outer world" does not have to be a god, but can also be a devil, a demon, or something else. As for the accuracy of the answers, and the cost of answering the questions, those are the specifics of the spell.

In short, without this simple and convenient way of gathering information, Enid can only rely on the kingdom's information system for the time being.

"So, how did you gather the information about the powerhouses in the papal state?"

Hearing Enid's question, the purple-haired girl next to her picked up a scroll and read it: "The known legendary-level powerhouses are: Pope Leiter, who is suspected to be related to the Faro royal family that died thirty years ago, the second Shining Sage of the Divine Sequence, whose whereabouts are currently unknown, and the quasi-legendary powerhouse has ......."

This paragraph is not long, but it has silenced the room for a long time.

"So, what about the power you have?" Enid asked again.

"If you mean a high-level professional...... Now, we don't have any power to do it. Lei Feng said helplessly.

"Oh, this doesn't match what I've heard, and if that's the case, then who gave you the confidence to launch a purge in the royal capital three years ago?" Enid raised an eyebrow.

"That's because Master Egger acquiesced in our actions...... With his support, we have the confidence to take action. ”

"Master Egger, this is the third time I've heard that name today. So, are you falling out now?"

"Of course not, it's just that after that time, his attitude became ambiguous...... "Lei Feng spread his hands, "I don't doubt his loyalty, he was born into a family that has a very close relationship with the royal family, and back then, it was my great-grandfather who personally sent him to Sophie, opened up the relationship, and made him a disciple of His Excellency the Storm Master, so ......"

"So you can only think that Master Egger has other considerations?"

"Yes. Luckily, there is a lot more we can do. ”

"Okay. Tell me about it, then...... What's going on with the parliament. "Enid was a little curious about the institution that didn't seem to be here.

Lei Feng shrugged: "Actually, it's just a liaison agency. The agents of the great nobles from all over the country would be there to discuss with me matters of national importance, such as the construction of roads, for example...... Invasion from the North. ”

"That doesn't sound like a fun thing. ”

"Yes, many fiefdom nobles think that I am unfounded, and the other party may not come over. They always like to say, 'The Northlands are a special case, and there will be no wars between nations on the continent of Aaron.' This is very deceptive, because from a historical point of view, what they said is indeed right, there is no evidence that they will invade the south, but the unification of the north is also an unprecedented thing......"

"Alright. Enid interrupted as she looked out the window at the sky, "I've heard enough today. ”

"As you wish. Lei Feng bowed, "However, please also remember that now, the entire royal capital ...... are waiting for your decision, Your Excellency!"

"Yes, I remember. Enid rubbed her forehead, "I'll make a decision, until I know enough." ”
