Chapter 9: Orbis's Wondering
The man was dressed in a green robe, his hands were white and slender, folded on his knees, only his head was covered by a green hood, and from Orbis's angle, only the delicate chin and rosy lips of the other party could be seen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's a woman!
Orbis thought to himself.
However, he didn't dare to think of anything else, not only the emblem of the flaming tulip outside the carriage, but also the respectful sitting posture of Tlaca always reminded him of the extraordinary identity of this woman.
There was a slight shake under his feet, the sound of wheels rolling from the outside, and the carriage began to move.
The woman didn't speak, and didn't seem to notice Orbis coming in.
I only heard Terraka whisper, "This is Lord Lynch!"
Lynch?
Is this an unfamiliar name, or a surname?
Orbis was not sure and stole a glance at Tlarka.
With the familiarity of both parties, Tlaca immediately understood what Orbis meant: Go on! What is the identity of this adult?
He shook his head silently.
Can't say?
Still hard to say?
What does that mean?
Orbis was dumbfounded.
Ignoring the meaning in Orbis's eyes, Tlaca turned to the woman and said respectfully:
"My lord, he's coming!"
Orbis hurriedly bowed and saluted:
"I've seen Lord Lynch!"
"Orbis!" the Lynch's voice was low, but extremely pleasant, and though young, it carried a hint of exhaustion that could not be concealed.
"Yes!" Orbis hurriedly replied.
"You've just returned from the Imperial Capital, and you've heard about the murder of Archbishop Daniel of Ristham. The woman turned her face to Orbis.
"Yes, I also made a special trip to Listham. Orbis hastened to reply.
Because of Chris's care, he and a few companions broke away from the previous Iron Wolf mercenary group last year, and began to specialize in intelligence collection, and soon he tasted the sweetness, and had a small foothold in Kibu Town and the imperial capital, not only to provide information to some groups of people for sale, but also to spend money on some secret and valuable news.
Then, he was very happy to find that he didn't have to work as hard as before, but his life was better.
Thanks to Chris's initial support, Orbis has always spared no effort in the rumors and news about Chris.
Orbis was not present on the day of the battle between Chris and the Angel Montos, and although he did not see the exhilarating scene with his own eyes, Orbis heard about it on the way to Kib and immediately turned back to the imperial capital.
For he was keenly aware of two things that were unfavorable to Chriss in that battle:
First, Chris slew an angel!
Due to the propaganda of the Temple of Light, angels have always been the messengers or spokesmen of the God of Light, that is, they are all on the righteous side of the teachings of the Temple of Light, and if the Temple of Light holds Chris accountable for this matter, conflicts are likely to erupt.
Second, during that battle, many people saw with their own eyes that Chris's magic had destroyed the main building of the church in Kibb, which could not be denied in any way.
In this Tianlan Continent, where power is supreme, even if you are not a professional, you have more or less seen the battle of magicians, and the magic of both sides is flying around in the battlefield, so it is normal for both sides to dodge, and the statement of accidental injury is actually reasonable.
But in the world, there are many things that are afraid to be true, such as this one. Some people say that Chris's magic was deliberately cast on the church, and of course some Chris's supporters say that it was a mistake in the battle, just like the holy light purification cast by the angel, didn't it also destroy many buildings in the city?
Because of these two things, Orbis was worried about Chris's situation, or rather, about the reaction of the Temple of Light after receiving the news.
The power of the Temple of Light is so great, although Orbis has not been to the Booth Empire, he also knows how terrible it will be for a religion that can influence the power of the country.
And even if you are not in the Booth Empire, with Orbis's current intelligence capabilities, you have heard that not long ago, in a border town of the Luo Lan Empire, a commoner looked at a nun who was practicing singing hymns when he was delivering tribute into the town's church, and perhaps laughed a few words, and then was seen by a monk passing by in the church, this person then fled, thinking it was not a big deal, but the next day, a family of four, including this person's seventy-year-old mother and seven-year-old child, were all condemned as sinners by the Knight of Light who rushed to the door, and then they were killed together, and the body was hung in the town for public display, but the empire only acquiesced, which did not express any dissenting opinion.
That's how the Temple of Light behaves - brutal and domineering.
Just a small thing can lead to such a big consequence, so what kind of treatment will Cris, who killed the angel and destroyed the church, suffer?
Orbis couldn't have thought about it any further.
Traveling almost day and night, it took Orbis only two days to rush back to the imperial capital.
The first thing he did after returning to his foothold was to let several of his subordinates put aside everything in their hands and make a special trip to all corners of the imperial capital to inquire about the follow-up news about this matter.
Even he himself came to the main hall of the Temple of Light, pretending to be a devout believer, and stayed there for three whole days in the name of repentance and unpaid labor.
To his surprise, the Temple of Light didn't seem to hear the news of Chris killing angels and destroying churches, and for three days, he didn't see a large-scale assembly and outing of those temple guards.
Some confused Orbis returned to the imperial capital, recalled a few equally exhausted subordinates, and did not get the news that the temple or the empire sent someone to condemn or send troops to crusade against Kib Town or Chris, according to the normal procedure, even if the Temple of Light cares about the status of Darnell, the lord of Kib Town, or Kris, at least one envoy will be sent to Kib Town to convey his dissatisfaction, and the political wrangling is afraid that it will last for a long time before there is a final conclusion, maybe Chris will finally express regret and apologies for his accidental injury, and finally fund the reconstruction of the church in Kib Town, which is also a normal result。
But nothing, as if nothing had happened, what is the matter?
Orbis was really a little confused. (To be continued.) )
