Chapter VIII: St. Granburg

"Hoo ......"

Seeing the four fierce mercenaries leaving, Orn, Lei Luo and several knights couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Orn extinguished the fireball in his hand and said with a sigh of relief: "The name of a magician is really useful, it is much more bluffing than a scholar, it finally scared them, I don't want to die on the way to the Gran Academy of Natural Sciences!"

"Angartura Crerina Yesusa......"

The elf girl came to several people, speaking elven language with tears in her eyes, and stood at a loss, tears in her eyes that could fall at any time.

Orn saw Lei Luo who still had a stiff expression on the side, and quipped, "Hey, okay, okay, they're gone, return my notebook quickly, I'll find out if there is a book on Elven language in the space box." ”

The knights dismounted their horses, took off their helmets, and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

The female knight looked at this beautiful elf girl like a painting, looked at her helpless appearance, and was suddenly full of sympathy, and looked back at Orn, who was rummaging through Elven books in the space box, and said, "She needs clothes and food more now than Elf!"

"Huh?"

Orn suddenly said, "I forgot!"

On the side, Lei Luo had just recovered from the tense confrontation, but at this moment, he was frozen again because of the space box in Orn's hand.

I saw Orn take out a box the size of a makeup box, and when he opened it, he took out dozens of books and miscellaneous things, as if there was infinite space in the box.

After a while.

After drinking some water and eating some soft bread, the elf girl who put on her clothes looked at everyone with gratitude, and kept speaking Elven language, Orn was sweating profusely and translating, but she only barely translated a few words, and she was not sure yet, which also made Lei Luo see the more real side of Orn.

"That...... I know some Elfish language. ”

Lei Luo, who had not spoken, suddenly whispered.

Everyone suddenly fell silent and looked at Lei Luo in amazement.

Seeing everyone looking at him like this, Lei Luo blushed and said: "When I was studying in the church before, because I wanted to become a missionary, serve the great God of Light for life, and go to remote areas to spread light, I learned some elven language, but it was only the most basic and simple part. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier, look at my embarrassment!"

Orn grumbled, putting back the Elven book he had barely read.

Lei Luo seemed to be deeply shocked, and said in a low voice: "Because, I have lost my faith. ”

Saying that, in the disbelief of everyone, Lei Luo took out the Bauhinia badge and the "Evolutionary Mystery", looked at Orn and said, "Father gave me this. ”

"Contribution Badge of the Grand Academy of Natural Sciences!"

Orn recognized the badge in Lei Luo's hand at a glance, and was stunned in disbelief at first, then reacted and said in amazement: "Classmate?"

Several people were shocked by Lei Luo one after another, but they didn't expect that this random civilian on the side of the road was actually a scholar who went to the Grand Academy of Natural Sciences to sign up!

Relo sighed: "Antonio the Pioneer said that the progress of knowledge lies in the process of constant self-doubt, while the pious faith requires constant self-determination, so it is never possible to have both, I ...... Betrayed the faith. ”

Lei Luo's tone was a little lost.

Orn said excitedly, "If I had believed in the God of Light, I would have asked my father to dedicate the gold coins I had used for my study and experiments over the years to the church for a knighthood! Compared to believing in the God of Light, boring recitation of the Bright Festival day after day, challenging the never-ending achievement of mathematical cornerstone achievements makes me more excited! They pity me for not having faith, and I pity them for being ignorant! Hahaha!"

For a while, the elf girl who was supposed to be the protagonist turned out to be Lei Luo.

Orn continued: "Great, we will be classmates from now on! You have a contribution badge, and when you arrive at the academy, the academy should arrange an enlightenment mentor for you, do you plan to study the mysteries of evolution?"

Looking at the enthusiastic Orn, Relo responded, "Uh? But let's talk as we go, in case those mercenaries come back, it won't be good, and ask this elf by the way...... Ma'am, what the hell is going on. ”

"Yes, good!"

Orn snapped back.

The group packed up the camp, and Raylo and the Elven Maiden followed Orn into the carriage and continued on their way, escorted by four knights.

As the sun rises, so does the fog in the forest.

Along the way, Lei Luo used his almost never used suffocating elven language to communicate with the elf girl, plus sign language gestures, and finally figured out the other party's life experience.

"My name is Krevana, I'm from the Moontree tribe, and when I was out collecting honey, those bad guys caught me and brought me here, and I'm so scared ...... it."

Sure enough, it was an elf female slave who was captured and sold by those mercenaries!

"Captain Barcelona guessed right, this group of mad mercenaries, selling elf slave girls for gold, actually built their happiness on the pain of others, captured innocent elf girls as slaves of those corrupt nobles, satisfied their lust + evil + lust + desire, and damaged the reputation of the principality!"

The female archer outside the carriage gritted her teeth, patted the elf girl's shoulder through the curtains, and comforted her heartache, while looking at Orn's eyes full of admiration, admiration for Orn's rational justice.

Orn said: "Although those mercenaries are hateful, the real hateful are those corrupt nobles who raise elf slaves! I have long heard that some corrupt nobles, on the surface, believe in the god of light, but behind the scenes they do some dirty and dirty things, they are as evil and depraved as the wizards of the Dark Ages!"

Lei Luo opened his mouth, hearing the words of wizard, but he didn't know what to say.

The dark ages of wizarding are long gone, a time ruled by the Church of Light, at least on the surface of humanity on the bright side.

The God of Light, as the only true god that mankind believes in, has completely saved mankind from those years full of fear of death, and the sorcerers have disappeared from the burning stake forever with the Black Death they created, leaving only some remnants that can no longer turn over the wind and waves, trembling and hiding in the shadows of the corner, trying to hide themselves.

Orn didn't notice Lei Luo's abnormality, and solemnly said to the elf girl: "I swear with the honor of the Ridge Family, I will definitely send you back home safely, I solemnly apologize to you for the Duchy of Gran, please believe that those dirty and rotten nobles are only a few, and the vast majority of the humans living in this land have a heart that insists on light, justice, and beauty!"

"Thank you...... Thank you!"

At this moment, the elf girl finally completely relaxed, looking at Orn who was full of justice, looking at Lei Luo who was struggling to translate, and looking at the female knight full of sympathy outside the window, and shed tears of gratitude.

......

Two days later.

With the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the bluestone pavement, Lei Luo and the others finally came to the capital of the Duchy of Gran, Fort St. Gran.

Although there are countless human city-states established around the Bright Empire of Aurora, there are only six large principalities that can be called large, and the Duchy of Gran is one of the six large principalities among the many principalities of mankind.

The town of Lake Onyx is located in the heart of the principality, and it took Leylo less than three days to get to Fort St. Gran, while Orn traveled all the way to take eight days, which shows the size of the principality.

It was only in these large principalities that they had enough financial resources to build the Royal Academy of Natural Sciences, set up a royal academician committee, establish a mercenary association, etc., to offset the ruling power of some churches and allow the royal family to have more secular rights.

As for the many small pocket-sized countries, the beliefs are often extremely harsh, the idea of pursuing truth and freedom has never been truly enlightened, the atheists are heretics, and the so-called kings are far less important than the church in the hearts of the common people, so naturally they have no ability to build an academy of sciences and produce so-called magicians and scholars.

Boom......

The magnificent bell rang.

Through the curtain of the carriage, Lei Luo looked at the gorgeously dressed passers-by on both sides of the street, and looked at the Cathedral of Light in St. Granburg in the distance, and couldn't help but lose his mind and mutter, "It's really magnificent." ”

The pure white domed marble church is 100 meters high!

From afar, the church seemed to be shrouded in a golden glow, a holy light that had been condensed into a substance by thousands of devotional prayers, converging on the top of the church, where every inch was art.

The bell rang, and passers-by stopped their things and made prayer gestures, even the young knights who were in charge of escorting Orn.

"It is great indeed, and the God of Light always loves miracles. ”

Only the middle-aged knight leader echoed a sentence.

Lei Luo noticed that although the other party bowed slightly, he did not pray.

Sensing Dao Leiluo's gaze, the middle-aged knight leader metal helmet, his eyes still possessed the rational brilliance of self-thinking, and said calmly: "I believe in the goddess of wisdom. ”

The goddess of wisdom is one of the many gods under the true god of light.

Immediately, the middle-aged knight leader looked at the elf girl beside Orn, his serious eyes showed a little love, and he continued to Lei Luo: "After you and the young master go to the academy to register in a while, we will be responsible for sending her to the Mercenary Association and issuing the corresponding tasks to ensure that she returns to her home safely." ”

"Yes,"

Lei Luo didn't say much.

On the other side of the carriage, Orn was holding a picture book, looking at it with the elf girl, it seemed to be an illustrated book of ancient monsters, the elf girl read it with relish, her slender white fingers kept turning the pages, her narrow eyelashes blinked, and she forgot her sadness for a while.

Orn glanced out the window at St. Granburg's Cathedral, and said rationally: "According to mathematical logic, even the Creator of Light is not omnipotent, because he can never create a stone that he cannot move by himself, so the law of truth must be above the Creator of Light, and it is an existence that cannot be influenced." ”

Rero looked at Orn in disbelief, as if inspired by unprecedented wisdom.

Oh, yes!

If the Creator of Light was able to create such a stone, but he himself could not move it, how could he be called omnipotent?

And if he can't create such a stone, then he can't be called omnipotent!

In an instant, Lei Luo's heart was reduced a lot because of the fear of the creator of light in his wizard lineage, and he was also full of confidence in the law of truth that Antonio had been pursuing in publishing the "Evolutionary Mysteries", and the law of truth that scholars had insisted on by burning at the stake in front of the Cathedral of Light in Aurora for hundreds of years.

The Creator of Light is not omnipotent!
