Chapter 63: There is no good feast
"Religion must not be above imperial power. ”
-- University Slandy
A group of ascetics stepped silently into the open door of Jack's house, and the two rows of mermaids entered their feet but they were very calm, and they did not make any sound, compared to the servants of Jack's house, who were like the great enemy, they seemed so calm.
Without being informed by anyone, they did not ask anyone, and walked straight into the hall on the first floor, as if they were going to search it themselves.
When he came to the hall and saw the people sitting on the stone round table, the ascetic led by him was expressionless, bowed slightly, ignored everyone, and said to Jack, "Hello, Master Jack, please come with us." ”
Jack was stunned and didn't know how to answer, and looked at Vice Dean Edward, who was pouring his cup of flower tea into his mouth, and calmly drank the water and exhaled a hot breath.
Before you know it, the weather has reached the season where you can see the white air you breathe out.
"Tell Perth that this kid has nothing to do with that. Edward said lightly, just glancing at the ascetic at the head, and never looked away.
"The Great Elder has instructed, but he only asked Young Master Jack to go to the Bright Church to assist in the investigation, and he did not mean to embarrass Young Master Jack. The ascetic at the head bowed slightly.
"Then you don't have to go. Vice Dean Edward accentuated his tone slightly, staring at the ascetic at the head and said calmly.
The ascetic and Edward looked at each other for a moment, but did not say a word, bowed slightly, bowed slightly, and turned around to leave the Jack's mansion with a group of ascetics.
It was only then that Jack recovered from his tense nerves, feeling as if he had collapsed, and his back was soaked with sweat. In fact, Jack was not the only one, Justin's back was also soaked, and the hand holding the sword in Tigers standing there was slippery and greasy.
Edward glanced at Jack and Justin and said disdainfully, "Just the audacity of you two, the guts of you when you came up with the coat of arms of the academy and the lion of the royal family as the sign of the tavern?"
"Hey, hey. Jack and Justin smiled awkwardly.
"Thank you, Vice President Edward. Jack said, scratching his head.
"You guys. Vice Dean Edward chuckled and said, "You remember, the Church of Light is far from being as clean as it seems, and in this case, not to mention the ascetics, even other ordinary monks can't follow you. ”
"But you were so good just now, you told them away in a few words!" Justin said as he looked at Vice Dean Edward with bright eyes, and that scene just now really made him handsome.
In fact, not only Justin, Carson, Tigers, and Sparrow were surprised, especially Carson and Tigers, who knew what a perverted group of ascetics were.
"That's why I came. Vice Dean Edward raised his eyebrows, and said as if he was a little proud: "That's why I came, you think that you are the opponent of these people." ”
Edward looked at Carson and Tigers, "You two can deal with three ascetics at most, and you will die." As he spoke, he looked at Spari again: "This old gentleman can deal with two, but it will be easier than the two of you." ”
Sparrow smiled at Vice Dean Edward and bowed slightly, and said, "What the adults said is that I am afraid of being young and strong, I am old after all." Sparry is full of affection for this adult who helped his family resolve a crisis, and he can see at a glance that Vice President Edward is at least not a bad person.
"Don't rejoice too soon. Vice President Edward shook his head and said, "The Great Elder of the Church of Light, Pearl, is not an easy person to deal with, and this matter will not be over so simply. ”
As soon as Vice President Edward said this, everyone's hearts that had just settled down were suspended again, just looking at Vice President Edward's indifferent look, everyone's hearts seemed to settle down slightly.
Sure enough, after some time, Vice Dean Edward sat there and drank three cups of flower tea, during which he did not forget to say disdain for Jack and Justin from time to time. The ascetic led by him just now came back again, and Edward calculated his steps slightly in his heart, almost coming directly after returning to the Great Light Sect.
The Grand Elder insisted on asking Young Master Jack to go, and he said that Vice President Edward could accompany him, and Young Master Jack could also bring his attendants with him. In order to apologize for the offense to Young Master Jack, the Great Elder hopes to have a banquet for you in the Temple of Divine Grace. "The ascetics bowed and bowed, as if they were always so humble.
Everyone looked at each other, and then at Vice President Edward, who had been sitting there for a long time.
"Let's go. Vice Dean Edward seemed to think for a moment, then put down the cup in his hand and said.
Looking at Justin, Vice Dean Edward said again, "Do you want to go, if you want to go, just follow it." ”
Justin naturally nodded quickly, in fact, even if Vice Dean Edward didn't say it, he would definitely shout to go.
The group walked through the streets of Loraine City, and when they passed by Jack's own tavern, they could see that the tavern was currently unopen, because a group of ascetics were still standing in front of the tavern.
Jack was surprised to find that most of the people around the door of his tavern were warriors with swords. Curiously looked at Tegus.
"They're mercenaries, and I've been a little bit of a propagandist among them. Tegus smiled and said, looking at the mercenaries, these guys are really interesting, they actually rely on the crowd to surround the few ascetics who are guarding the shop, if you look at the picture alone, the ascetics seem to be the bullied side.
In fact, these mercenaries did not dare to do it, even if the ascetics did it, they did not dare to do it. In this way, they simply protested that the place where they drank was blocked.
Teggs still has a very high status among these mercenaries, and he slightly mentioned to these mercenaries that this tavern was a tavern for the mercenaries of Loland City to gather, so there were so many mercenaries who responded, of course, there were several taverns in the city where the mercenaries often gathered.
Coming to the Great Light Holy See, Jack and the others dismounted, Vice President Edward also got out of the carriage, Jack looked up at the tall dome, this is only the entire complex is not the tallest sail-shaped building, the shock of seeing the Great Light Holy See up close is similar to the feeling of seeing this complex for the first time, or even better.
There are not many people in the Great Light Sect today, to be precise, there are not as many believers as usual, but you can still see a lot of commoners or nobles shuttling around, and there are many people who are watching the people who are said to be from the dark sect who are escorted by a group of ascetics.
Vice President Edward looked around, Pearl's pale blue robe and dazzling hexagonal sapphire were still easy to find in the crowd, not to mention that he did not stand in the crowd, but stood at the entrance of escorting the prisoners into the Great Light Holy See under the protection of a group of ascetics.
Without the guidance of an ascetic, Edward walked leisurely, and Jack and Justin naturally followed with Tiger and Carson. Walking up to Perth, the ascetic guarding Perth stretched out his hand to stop Vice Dean Edward, but Perth didn't reply, "Let them in." ”
The ascetic's half-outstretched hand was not embarrassed, and after withdrawing his hand, he bowed slightly to make way. The ascetics had formed a circle on the ground where Perce was located, and the space in the middle was so large that at least five more people could come in.
"Are you afraid of what I'm going to do to your students?" Perth said with a smile, the delicate features on his twisted face that made Jack and Justin slightly stunned.
They didn't expect the Great Elder of the Church of Light to be so young, it seemed to be a few years younger than Vice President Edward, to be precise, he looked about the same age as their elder brothers.
Edward looked at Perce's face, the smile was still as warm as the morning light, gentle as a stream, but this face seemed to always be this expression, thinking of this Edward couldn't help but slightly frown.
"You're Jack. Perth looked at Vice Dean Edward and ignored him, and then looked at Jack and said.
Jack hurriedly stroked his chest and saluted, "Great Elder, may you be with the God of Light." ”
"God of Light is with you, my child. Perth looked at Edward and smiled and said, "Northridge is our brotherly country, and we are all one family in the land under the light of the God of Light. ”
After saying that, Perth turned his head to look at Carson and Justin again, "Carson, who is this young adult?" Perth knew Carson, a Tyranian who had been mingling with Loraine all year round.
"In front of you are the Three Princes of the Silvermoon Kingdom, His Highness Justin Warren," Carson said, standing up straight, they don't believe in the Cult of Light, so there is no need to be like Jack.
"Hello, Your Highness" Perth clasped his hands in front of his abdomen, bowed slightly, and said, "The Silver Moon Sect has always been a very friendly religion with the Illuminati Sect, we have a lot in common, and we are rare friends in this world. ”
Justin nodded in agreement and didn't say much. Seeing that everyone seemed to be looking at the person who was being escorted into the Great Light Holy See, Perth also turned to look at the crowd who were being escorted in.
"How do you know for sure these things about the Dark Cultists?" asked Vice Dean Edward.
"As you said, these people all have black teardrop-shaped tattoos on the back of their heads, which is a branch of the dark sect, and the dark clouds cover the sun, which is believed to be incarnated by the god of the underworld, so the raindrops that fall have naturally become a symbol of the messenger of the god of the underworld. After a pause, looking at the crowd in front of him, Perth continued: "Look at these poor people, bewitched by darkness, living in darkness, those black people are from hell, they infect good people, let them live in darkness, these people whose skin should be like us have also had and become black men. ”
Jack looked at it and it seemed that almost all of these people's skin was gray and dark in a strange color, which looked like the result of not seeing sunlight for many years.
