Chapter Ninety-Four: Catherine's Plan
Hence the day-to-day affairs of the Church of Light. All were presided over by Bishop Henry. And this time, you asked Faras to come forward and ask for the help of the Church of Light, but Bishop Henry had to directly veto the fact that the Church of Light never interfered in the secular government. Faras had no choice but to forcibly break into the place where we were practicing and found me. β
"So you gave up the penance you were doing and came here?"
"Yes, yes. Red was a little afraid to face Ryan's face, because he had already understood the current situation from Faraz's mouth, and at such a critical juncture, Bishop Henry was still sticking to the old ways, which in Red's eyes was simply synonymous with stupidity.
Red stumbled and explained: "That's right, a long time ago, the Church of Light was the spokesman of God on this continent, when there was no strong government in human beings, and the coronation ceremony of every kingdom had to be seen by the pope of the Church of Light to be considered legitimate, and that was the time when the influence of the Church of Light was at its strongest, and every pastor of the Church of Light had a lot of privileges. However, after the slow rise of several countries in the human race, the powerful empire naturally could not tolerate someone to point fingers, so the conflict arose. After a terrible lesson, the Church of Light decided not to appoint a pope, and the archbishop was in charge of daily affairs, and at the same time, the Church of Light did not get involved in any affairs of the secular government, and the pastors of the Church of Light could only participate in any affairs outside the Church of Light in their personal capacity. β
Ryan quietly listened to Red's explanation, he stood up, walked to Red's side, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and said slowly, "Red, thank you!"
"Thank me?"
"Yes. Actually, it is not very important for me that the Bright Church sect does not send people here, but you can put down your own affairs and help me without hesitation, I am very grateful to you. β
"Well, we're not friends. β
"Yes, Red, we're friends!" Ryan smiled brightly, he took the Bordeaux wine and filled the two crystal glasses on the table, then picked up one of them and said to Red, "Cheers to our friendship!"
"Cheers to our friendship!" Red muttered a repetition of Ryan's words, then quickly picked up the glass in front of him and drank the bright red wine inside.
"Haha, you don't call us when you drink?" Flanner's voice came from the door. Red followed the sound and saw Franna for the first time, and it was Alendor who walked in after Flanna.
A servant very obediently brought another bottle of wine and two crystal glasses, and brought a few simple dishes for Ryan and them to drink. This servant is worthy of being the person next to Luke, and he did not forget to follow Alendor behind Xiaobai, and brought a piece of barbecue for it alone, Xiaobai took the fragrant barbecue in his mouth, curled up at Ellendo's feet and slowly tore it.
Ryan gave a brief introduction to Red and Flanner, and then the four of them happily chatted together. The upcoming battle did not affect their mood, maybe in the hearts of these four men, those orcs are not terrible, as long as everyone works together, the final victory will definitely belong to the humans.
An ordinary-looking carriage drove through the street, and there were quite a few carriages in the imperial capital, which was not unusual, but the carriage was guarded before and after, and there were even a few female knights in armor following behind the carriage, which made the pedestrians on the side of the road feel strange, and they didn't know who was preparing to escape.
Catherine and Faras sat in the carriage, and the destination of their trip was, of course, the Imperial Center Square, located in the center of the imperial capital. Since the news of the orc attack was learned two days ago, the rumors in the entire imperial capital city are becoming more and more exaggerated, and the people's hearts are becoming more and more confused, plus those imperial officials and nobles have fled, which makes those civilians even more overwhelmed. And the latest news shows that since this morning, a small number of citizens of the imperial capital have rushed to the south gate with large packages on their backs, and it seems that they are also preparing to escape.
Catherine sat in the car expressionlessly, and Farass was still wearing the purple magic robe, silently accompanying Catherine. Of course, Faras would never have dreamed that what Catherine was thinking about at this time was the magic robe on her body.
Catherine had been thinking about it in her heart for several days, and she had been looking for an opportunity to quietly figure out how Faraz's magic robe came about, but she was a little hesitant, for fear that if she accidentally revealed a flaw, it would be a big mistake. But now is a good opportunity, because according to Catherine's plan, in the next not too short period, Faras and Christina will be close to her, and it is naturally impossible for the opposite sex like Ryan to get too close to her. At the same time, because the orc attack is approaching, Catherine also believes that Ryan and Faras have no time and will not have the leisure to talk about these things again, and when the war is over, no matter what the outcome is, who cares about these small things?
"Fani. Catherine thought about the whole process a few times, and after making sure that everything was safe, she suddenly asked.
"Ah, Catherine. Faras hurriedly replied, "What are your orders?"
"Oh, don't be too nervous, Fani. Catherine placed her hand lightly on Farath's shoulder, and the two of them sat side by side, and Catherine's movement made their bodies closer and closer together.
"Fani, you don't have to worry too much, I'm sure Luke and Orlando will defeat those hateful enemies. β
"Yes, I believe it too. β
"Well, when we get to the Royal Auditorium, I'm going to tell the citizens of the city through the magic amplification array that I, Catherine, will fight with them until the very end. β
"Catherine, you, you're really, so great!" said Farass emotionally, "Actually, you don't have to. β
"Do you know why I want to marry Fernando?"
"Uh, this"
"My purpose in participating in the AtlΓ©tico Royal Tournament is to help those living in poverty, but unfortunately my power is too small. Later I found out that His Majesty also had great ambitions in this area, which also attracted me deeply, but unfortunately"
"Mourn, Catherine. Faras whispered, "I'm also very sorry for you." β
"It's okay, His Majesty is gone, but I will carry on his will!"
Faras looked at Catherine, who was full of passion, and said excitedly, "I have my full support for you, Catherine." β
"Hmm. Thank you. β
"Nothing, that's what I was supposed to do. My father, and my brother-in-law, they have already done this, and we will all give you our full support. β
"Fani. Catherine looked out the window of the car through the curtains, and deliberately said to Faras with a casual look: "This battle must be very dangerous, you have to follow me closely, I don't want you to be hurt, it will make my heart ache." β
"Thank you. β
"Nothing. Catherine retracted her gaze, looked at Faras and said, "After all, there are several royal magicians by my side, and they can manipulate the magic array to protect me, so you can be with me when the time comes." β
"Thank you so much, Catherine. "But don't worry about me, I'll be careful, and besides, this magic robe of mine also has good defense, which has been proven in the time of Thor's Fortress." β
"Oh?" Catherine asked, pretending to be strange, "This magic robe? Is it the work of Master Victor?"
"Hehe, it's not. Faras smiled and shook her head and said, "My teacher won't give me any magic items, he always says that magicians should not rely too much on external forces, and should focus on improving their own strength." β
"Oh. And where did this magic robe come from? Luke gave it to you, right?" Catherine asked, full of anticipation, but on the outside she looked very normal, as if the sentence was just a casual remark.
Faras naturally didn't notice Catherine's intentions, as soon as she mentioned this magic robe, she naturally remembered Ryan who gave her this gift, and her face was naturally full of sweetness, and even a little mist appeared in her eyes.
"It was given to me by Ryan. β
"Did Ryan give it to you?" asked Catherine.
"yes. Faras's face was flushed and cute, she hung her head, and said with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, "When I went to Thor Fortress this time, Ryan gave it to me." Don't you know, Catherine, this isn't just an ordinary magic robe, it does a lot more?"
As soon as Farass talked about the purple magic robe she was wearing, she couldn't keep her mouth shut, and she gushed about her own robe and what it did. At this time, Farass was like a proud princess, showing off her new clothes to her female companions.
Catherine's face made all kinds of surprise, surprise and even envy to match Faraz's explanation, but in Catherine's heart, she couldn't help but want to tell the lady in front of her who was immersed in love: "Shut up for me, your dress is mine, I don't know what function it has?" Also, a lot of your explanations are fundamentally wrong, that protective magic array must first add a small amount of its own magic energy when it is used, so that it can stimulate its full effect, and the main magic array, do you really think this is just a decoration? Damn, it is a storage magic array that can store sixth-level magic!"
"Ah, that's wonderful!" said Catherine, with a few words of praise against her will, "I would love to have one of these, so why don't you give it to me, Fani, and I'll exchange it with you, okay?"
