"Faith?" Isabella looked at him in amazement. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes, faith!" Marven nodded heavily, extremely convinced: "I want to find the faith that belongs to our Xia people, so that my people will no longer bear the name of heresy!"

"This is also my promise to the countless brothers who have died. Thinking of Aite who gave him courage in the dark mines, and thinking of the countless brothers who died fighting for freedom in Morowing, Marven couldn't help but clench his fists.

Isabella was silent, her gaze falling again on the coins on the table, tilting her head slightly, as if caught in a deep memory.

"You got this coin from Hypatia...... "It was a long time before Isabella let out a long sigh.

"Yes, she helped us a lot. Marven nodded nondeniably.

"Hehe......" Isabella smiled bitterly after hearing this, "I didn't expect that after so many years, she was still so stubborn......"

"Marven, you are bent on pursuing your Xia people's own faith, but you can tell me, faith, what is it?" Isabella sat down on the sofa, her face vicissitudes and tired.

"Faith ......" Marven was choked all of a sudden, after experiencing the demon invasion and the cruel religious war, he now can't figure out what faith is and what it can bring to people.

"Faith, maybe...... It can bring peace and tranquility to the world, and make people no longer hate each other......" Marven muttered as a matter of course, but as soon as the words came out, he wanted to slap his mouth, and in the Iliad kingdom, he saw with his own eyes how much harm and suffering faith has brought to people.

"Human beings mainly believe in the two major religions of Illuminati and Moses, the demons believe in the demon god, the dwarves and orcs believe in the god of war and the beast god respectively, and the elves are polytheists with the moon god as the main object of worship......" Isabella's metal gloved index finger tapped heavily on the table, and said lazily: "You see, how complex the belief system in this world is, and how huge the power of faith is, but the major races are still hostile to each other and fighting endlessly......"

Marven fell into deep thought, and after a moment, he spoke: "I take the liberty of asking, Captain Isabella, did you leave the Eternal Forest and choose to be a mercenary because you hated these beliefs?"

"Eternal Forest?oh no, I'm a valley elf, another branch of the elves, and mercenaries are our people's favorite profession. Isabella smiled and pointed to the crescent badge on her chest.

"Oh, no wonder......" Marven suddenly wondered, he also wondered why he had never heard of a strong man named Isabella in the Eternal Forest, it turned out that she was actually a river valley elf.

The Valley Elves are close relatives of the Night Elves, who do not live in the forests but have built their own cities in the river-dense hills, and unlike the quiet Night Elves, they are passionate and adventurous, and their love for the mercenary profession is second only to that of the Dwarves.

"Marven, faith is a thing, no one can say what it can bring to people, I have been pursuing, but in the end I am completely lost......" Isabella sighed softly again, as if immersed in the memories of the past.

"That's why you ordered that members of the Holy Sword Mercenary Regiment be forbidden to accept mujahideen employment. Looking at her pained expression, Marven seemed to understand something.

"That's right......" Isabella smiled bitterly, "You may not know that fifty years ago, when the Holy Sword Mercenary Regiment was first established, it was involved in a religious war, and in that war, more than a dozen human countries were completely destroyed, and countless people died in the war......

"The Battle of the Holy City of Aizaro?" Marven said the name of that battle after a little thought, in the past few years, he has studied magic and martial arts in addition to reading a lot of history books of Middle-earth, and that unprecedented and tragic religious war has made the "undefeated general" Marshal Rocherio famous.

Isabella nodded bitterly, "You may never know what happened after we were hired by Rocherio, we fought for God in name, but in fact became accomplices of the devil, and the funny thing is that we had the opportunity to stop that war madman, but for this absurd mission, we watched countless so-called heretics being bloodied and slaughtered......"

"Since then, Hypatia and we have parted ways, and I don't think she has forgiven me to this day......" Isabella's decadent words revealed infinite sadness.

"But you're a good man. Marven stared at the mercenary leader with a little gratitude, "At least, apart from Hypatia, you and the mercenary group under your command are the only ones who do not regard us Xia people as heretics. ”

"Your Excellency, our Xia people have been oppressed and discriminated against for thousands of years, and have suffered from religious persecution, if one day we become stronger, we will never impose the pain we have endured on others......"

"So, please help us with this mission, it's very important to us!" Marven stood up straight, and then bowed deeply to the head of the regiment in front of him.

"Marven, to tell you the truth, although I can help you find the whereabouts of the Great Magus, no one can guarantee whether you can find the faith you want, do you understand?" Isabella suddenly stared at Marven very seriously.

"I understand that many things may not get the results I want even if I try my best, but I'm willing to try hard!" Marven took a deep breath and said in a firm tone.

"Okay. Isabella smiled helplessly, "In that case, then I'll do what you want." ”

Isabella picked up the coin from the table again and said solemnly, "This coin looks like an ancient coin, but it is actually a medal from the era of the Dark Horse Empire. ”

"Medal?" Marven's eyes were immediately attracted by the strange coin, which was simple and unpretentious in appearance except for the more complicated ornamentation, and the material was also the most ordinary bronze, which did not look like a medal.

"And such a medal, and what is its origin?" Listening to Isabella's tone, the coin-like medal seemed to have a great origin, and curiosity surged for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you much. Isabella smiled and shook her head, "The archmage is reluctant to reveal his information to anyone, although I know his general location, but whether I can meet him or not depends on whether you are destined or not." ”

"I see......" Marven nodded thoughtfully, Hypatia had warned him that although he could use the help of others to guide him, the true faith was to be pursued by himself, and because of this, although she had helped her grow a lot, she had never revealed the slightest additional information about the Great Magus to him.

Isabella put down the medal, took a map of the Marne Federation from the drawer, took off her heavy metal gloves, stretched out her slender white finger and gently pointed to the south end of the map, "This is where we are, Kada City, go northwest from us......" Marven's gaze slowly moved up with her fingers, "After passing through several neutral city-states, you will come to Brut City in the north of the Marne Federation." ”

Isabella's finger nodded heavily on the logo of Brut City, and her face showed a solemn expression, "Although this Brut City is also a neutral city-state, the inhabitants of the city include almost all religions......

"I understand, Your Excellency, Commander. Marven took a deep breath and said slowly: "No matter what danger there is here, even if it is possible to die, I am willing to take a risk, since I have come this far, there is no reason to give up." ”

"In that case, I can't say anything. Isabella smiled and held out her right hand, "Then I can only wish you good luck." ”

"Thank you for your help. Marven shook hands with her and said goodbye, then called Zhang Feng and started a new journey.

"Brother Marven, are you about to leave so soon?Where are we going now?" Zhang Feng looked back at the majestic and magnificent Kada City, and there was obviously some reluctance in his eyes.

This is probably the first time since he grew up that this child has wandered and played carefree in a prosperous city without discrimination and persecution, and now that he is leaving, this child's still immature heart naturally has a lot of nostalgia.

"Yes, Zhang Feng, although we are very free here and come quickly, since we are here to pursue faith, we can't stay here too long. ”

"Faith?" Zhang Feng blinked his eyes and asked, "Could it be that you are about to find that very powerful Great Magister?"

"Well, sort of. A wry smile appeared on the corner of Marven's mouth, he was not sure whether he would succeed this time, and he thought about it almost all night last night before calling Zhang Feng. It can be seen that Zhang Feng is so nostalgic for Kada City, perhaps, he shouldn't let him take risks with him.

"Oh, great!" Zhang Feng suddenly cheered and said excitedly: "Brother Marven, then you must let that master teach me magic! I will definitely work hard to become the most powerful magician!"

"Okay, okay, I'll promise you. Marven smiled and touched Zhang Feng's head, his eyes full of doting. Although Zhang Feng's talent is mediocre, he has an almost fanatical obsession with magic, and he is also quite diligent, and in time, he may really be able to become an excellent magician.

"Haha, little one, don't worry about learning magic! Actually, it's good to learn some martial arts from me!"

"Cut! Uncle Hammond, whoever wants to learn martial arts from you, your martial arts are rotten!" Zhang Feng grimaced at Hammond and quickly ran away.

"Hammond, why did you come with you? Shouldn't you be at the headquarters of the Holy Sword Mercenary Regiment?" When he met an old acquaintance on the road, Marven was naturally happy in his heart, but he didn't know what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd.

Hammond stopped teasing Zhang Feng and said with a straight face: "Marven, our regiment leader said that you may encounter some dangers when you go to Brut City this time, since your task is what I received, then let me escort you all the way." He shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Help to the end, besides, that's what our head of the regiment meant." ”

"Hehe, that's fine. Marven thought in his heart: This Isabella has a lot of relationship with Hypatia, and he is so familiar with the Marne Federation, but he is afraid that he also has some connections with the Grand Magister, and she will at least not harm herself, not to mention that he can also trust this Hammond, with him with him, at least he can protect Zhang Feng, which is also a good choice.

Marven immediately punched Hammond in the chest without hesitation, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go together!"
