Chapter 42: The Dynasty and the Church II

I'm Hong Qi, who was originally a writer of Western fantasy novels, but inexplicably traveled to the Western fantasy world. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As a traverser, he didn't have the aura of the protagonist, but he could only be a mage apprentice who couldn't do magic, and in the end he was actually brought back to Earth by a weird white magic book, and the sad thing is that Lao Tzu actually became a penguin.

It doesn't matter if you become a penguin, God has eyes to let me cross again, and as a result, when I return to the Western Fantasy World, I am still a penguin.

I can't stand this, you Tema let Lao Tzu become a traverser, and let me maintain this bird appearance.

This time, Lao Tzu decided to do great things! I want to control my own destiny! I will no longer be played with at will!!

All right...... The above is a portrayal of Hong Qi's current mood, it seems that the last few sentences are still a little arrogant, but let's go back to the topic first.

Now Hong Qi is riding in a carriage with a young girl, but it seems that the atmosphere is not right, because the topic of the two sides is beginning to smell of gunpowder, and he can't help but think about his life so far.

The word piety does not seem to be equated with an ordinary Amun believer, after all, some people only follow the faith because the dynasty has listed the Church of Light as the state religion, and they have no incentive to do it if they want to cooperate with certain religious matters such as donations or volunteer to help the church.

However, for some believers, who are willing to dedicate their bodies and souls to spreading the Gospel of the Lord and glorifying the image of the Lord, they are definitely devout, and these people are usually explained otherwise in the dynasty, they are believers.

Catholics are basically members of the Church, from a small clergyman who helps to spread the doctrine to the high Templar Pope, who are the most devout servants of the Holy Lord.

However, when the word piety is mentioned in the upper echelons, it usually refers to certain people in the upper echelons of the Church, who are more doctrinally able to hear the gospel of the Lord and who are more religious than ordinary people.

And now, Hong Qi deliberately said these two words, which can be regarded as telling his guess to the other party.

"Why? Doesn't Mr. Penguin disdain to share a ride with a little girl?"

At this time, the girl's tone was already a little sarcastic, as if she took Hong Qi's so-called speculation for granted, but when she said this, she carried a deep anger, as if the next moment this little girl would rush up and beat him up.

Fortunately, the girl still seems to have some sense, and she is afraid of Rusius who is driving, and she does not directly indicate Hong Qi's true identity in her words.

"Haha...... You think too much, it is my honor to have the opportunity to ride with such a beautiful lady, how can I feel disdainful? ”

Hong Qi also knew this, and then he apologized with a smile and showed that he had just done it unintentionally.

"No, I just said it in a moment of emotion, but sir, you won't bother with a woman, right?"

"Of course, how could I bother with such a beautiful lady as you?"

Having said that, Hong Qi didn't think so in his heart.

Can you stop talking in that tone......

"Okay, seeing that you are so nervous when you speak, let's rest. ”

The girl directly said that Hong abandoned his current state and leaned back in the chair to rest for a while, ignoring him no more.

Hong Qi also breathed a sigh of relief, at least for the time being, he didn't have to chat with her for the time being, and at the same time he also had time to sort out his thoughts, if Hong Qi's guess was not wrong, he was just confronting a high-ranking church official, how could he not be nervous?

Hong Qi, calm down, calm down, you don't have to be afraid of her, she won't eat you, you are a traverser, and you are also a strong man who has crossed three times, how can you be afraid of that girl?

After giving himself confidence, Hong Qi turned his mind to sorting out the information he had gained from the conversation he had just had.

It should be true that this coachman's strength is in the Great Sword Master, but why does she distrust her subordinates? Could it be that she is really being watched?

Many questions hung in his mind, but Hong Qi could not find the answers, so he had to continue with the journey.

As night approached, the three of them passed through a small village on their way, so they decided to rest in this place for a day.

Wait.,Isn't the plot going to be that there's only two empty rooms left and then I'm going to live with the other girl??,It's very possible?,When the time comes...... Hey.

Thinking of this, Hong Qi suddenly had some expectations.

Upon arriving in the village, Lucius found a resident with a rest for the traveler and paid five copper coins for two rooms in the homestay.

All right...... As a result, the truth deviated from what Hong Qi thought, not the beautiful thing of a lonely man and a widow living in the same room, but two big men huddled in the same room, and Hong Qi was bored before going to bed and had to talk to Lucius.

"I said, since you are the one who protects her, why don't you just sleep in her room, isn't it safer?"

"Because I think in this village, I just need to guard you off. ”

Looking at Hong Qi, the other party replied coldly.

...... Although the words were a little harsh, what he said made sense.

"Besides, I don't trust you, a strange man who even sleeps with a mask, and if it weren't for Mademoiselle's insistence on riding with you, I would have driven you away long ago. ”

As he spoke, the other party's eyes became more and more unkind, and Hong Qi vaguely heard the other party make his fingers rattle, as if he wanted to do it to himself.

...... I'm still sleeping.

Hong Qi didn't pay attention to him, and slept directly on the chair, anyway, it didn't matter where he slept, as long as there was a place to rest, and the other party was still vigilant during sleep.

To put it simply, the three of them spent a Christmas night, and after breakfast, they hurried off on their way.

The next day, neither of them wanted to chat, as if what they needed to talk about had already been said yesterday, or that the other party was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to open a new topic.

However, the reason why Hong Qi didn't want to talk was very simple, because of trouble.

He knew that curiosity kills people, and yesterday's temptation was no longer convenient to use today, and the place he passed through now did not allow him to let down his guard and talk casually, because this was the gray area of the Kingdom of Kense, that is, the dangerous zone frequented by bandits.

Amon Sword God, the founder of the Amun Empire and the founder of the Amun Dynasty, he went to the Divine Realm after 800 years of existence in the mortal world, but he did not hold power for 800 years.

Tired of the power of the world after 600 years of dominating the empire, Amon decided to hand over his power to his children and grandchildren. It is recorded in the history books that he selected the best nine young people from his bloodline, who were about twenty years old.

Within five years, they were trained by the Sword God of Amon himself, and then they split the Noble Empire into nine territories and handed them over to these nine people to show their skills.

Although this move attracted a lot of criticism from the courtiers below, in the face of the gods, they usually did not dare to express their true opinions in their hearts, and could only choose the new masters they wanted to follow within five years of training.

As a result, the Amon Empire was divided into nine kingdoms, namely the Kingdom of Maz and the Kingdom of Firi, which controlled the northern ice region, and the Kingdom of Tayin and Sak, which ruled the adjacent abyss and the Dead Lands in the west.

There are also the Kingdom of Kencer and the Kingdom of Kodor, which control the southern Warcraft Forest Zone, the Kingdom of Fanoen and the Kingdom of Sintia, which dominate the east and the Elven Clan, and finally the Kingdom of Alexandria, which is located in the central zone.

Interestingly, the only central kingdom of Alexandria happens to be the location of the headquarters of the Bright Templar, and there will inevitably be some communication between the two forces whose territories are very close to each other, so after the disappearance of the sword god Amun, the kingdom of Alexandria is often referred to by the people as the Templar Kingdom.

Although the empire was divided into nine kingdoms, the demon hunters in charge of the Amun dynasty were not controlled by the kingdom, and they were above the kingdom but were ordered to protect the king's power.

It has been rumored that it was the Demon Hunters who brought peace to the kingdom because of their existence, and they seemed to be the backhands of the Sword God Amun, whose function shifted to preventing the descendants of the Sword God of Amon from killing each other and maintaining the stability of the dynasty after the destruction of the mages.

This is quite curious, the relationship between the two organizations, one in control of the central kingdom and the other in power above the kingdom, is their relationship an ally or an enemy?

The point is that there are some border issues between each kingdom, and although Deta City is located in the Kingdom of Kenser, there are some points on the way to Tamo City that will conflict with the Kudor Kingdom, which also rules the south, and it is impossible to determine who should manage it.

So the two countries put these places as gray areas, where there are basically no people who want to live, and maybe a war breaks out between the two countries as soon as they settle down, and the people in that place will never survive, so those areas will become a paradise for crime.

Of course, it is a bit more than a criminal's paradise, most of the bandits will have their base camp stationed in the gray area, so Hong Qi and his party passing through this place must be careful to encounter this group of people.

Hong Qi was actually a little puzzled, although it would take more than a day to get around these areas to reach Tamo City, but Rusius and the White Bear Girl didn't seem to want to take a long detour.

"I said, 'Is that okay?'

Finally, Hong Qi couldn't bear it anymore and asked the girl.

"What do you mean?"

The other party responded with a smile on his face.

"Directly through the gray area, not afraid of encountering bandits? Even if you, Mr. Lucius, are the strength of the Great Sword Master, if you encounter a heavily armed hundred-man regiment, you will also encounter accidents, why take this risk?"

"It's very simple, because we have investigated this area beforehand, and it is a weak area in the gray area, and there are still you, even if you encounter robbers, you don't need to be afraid. ”

As he spoke, the other party's smile was even bigger.

......

Just as Hong Qi was about to say something, he suddenly turned to the woods on the right, and at the same time, Doug, who had been sleeping all the way, also raised his head with a wary expression.

"Miss White Bear, it seems that you just said that you don't need to be afraid of robbers, right?"

"Huh, what's wrong?"

At this time, hearing Hong Qi's words, the girl asked the other party in puzzlement.

Seeing that the girl was puzzled, Hong Qi had no choice but to point to the woods on the right with a wry smile and then said.

"It seems that you may have some gift for prophecy. ”

In the woods appeared a group of horsemen, numbering about fifty, but each of them had weapons and some of them wore armor, a scale comparable to that of the local guards.

However, those people have the most obvious identification to let others know who they are.

It's a toothy mouth, but it doesn't make people happy, because the flag is white-toothed and black-faced.
