Chapter 70 - Tranquility Town
"World nobles, what's that?"
After leaving Kingssandra, the four of them ran all the way, and before it was dark, they had already covered a distance of nearly 100 kilometers.
Although it is not known what means Grant Colin used, after Kai and his party left the royal city, they did not pursue them. At this time, Kai finally raised the question in his heart.
Grant once said that Ellie was a world noble, and let them live because of it. The term "world aristocracy", Kai is also the first time he has heard of it.
"The so-called world aristocracy refers to the families of the four most distinguished generals in the human alliance after the end of the thousand-year holy war. Fiacha, Lancelot, Teslera, and Rebecca. Ellie replied, "My ancestor, Maxson Rebecca, was one of them.
"Oh, that's right. Kai replied casually, but in his heart, he turned the river and the sea, "I just thought that Ellie was an ordinary little girl with beautiful appearance, natural facial paralysis, unsmiling, character flaws, special abilities, and strange interests, but I didn't expect her to have such a noble background." This is no longer comparable to ordinary princesses, Shani is simply a grass man in front of her. â
"So, where do we go next?" Pasha's question pulled Kai's racing brain back to reality.
"Of course, wait," Kai said suddenly, looking back at Pasha and Milo behind him, "Why did you two follow us all the way?
"We're all wanted felons all over the world now. Pasha pointed to Milo beside him and said, "I'm the Black Knight, this guy is a Jiangyang thief, and you are the main culprit in this prison escape." â
"That's right, at this time, it is definitely the best choice to follow the world's nobleman Rebecca. Milo said with a wicked smile on his face, in fact, the real thought in his mind was this, "You can still take Rebecca hostage in a critical moment, and you can definitely be a shield." Besides, since she is a world noble, she must have a lot of priceless treasures hidden in her home. When the time comes, hehehe......"
While Milo was still thinking about it, Ellie suddenly reached out her right hand and put it on his shoulder. Milo instantly felt hundreds of kilograms of boulders pressing on his shoulders, and immediately crushed himself to the ground.
"Don't think anything strange about me," Ellie clapped her hands and crouched down in front of Milo, smiling grimly, "especially if you took me hostage or something." â
"Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't dare anymore!"
Looking at Ellie's "**" Milo scene, Kai thought helplessly: "Ellie's appearance is very similar to Lana." â
"Ellie," Kay asked, "let's go to the place you want to go, it should be inside the World Tree, right?"
"That's right," Ellie stood up, "but before we do, we'll have to go to the peak of Miruk. â
......
The peak of Mount Mirouk, in the middle of Obesilis, is an active volcano that is still active today.
However, what is less known is that this mountain peak is the entrance to the World Tree, which is the door corresponding to the Key of Kronos.
The four of them traveled a long way, and after two months, they finally approached their destination.
"There's a town called Joton up ahead," Ellie said, holding the map and pointing ahead, "where we can rest** and restock." Then go to the peak of Mount Miluk. â
"I agree. Pasha panted, it was now nearly dusk, and he was extremely tired from more than ten days of non-stop travel.
"Your physique is really not ordinary. Kai habitually joked, "No wonder you've always been a little bean who doesn't grow up." â
"Don't call me Little Douding!" Pasha said angrily, "It's because your physique is too weird, how can a normal person walk such a long way without getting tired." â
Pasha's retort is not unreasonable, from Kingssandra to the Miluk Mountains, all the way to the grasslands, deserts, hills, highlands, all the difficult sections, no wonder 15-year-old Pasha is so tired.
But at the same time, the three people who traveled with Pasha, whether it was the D-class knight Kai Leo, the thief of the century, Milo Fedemit, or even the weak-looking Ellida Rebecca, did not look tired at all. It can only be said that these three people are too special. Milo is a spirit of Federimide, who can absorb spiritual power from the natural world to replenish her physical strength, Ellie's ability needs not be repeated, she can hardly sleep for days on end, and Kai, he didn't even expect such excellent physical ability. It may be the reason why he has been using high-intensity spiritual magic for a long time, which makes his body withstand much higher than others.
You must know that Pasha is a talented boy who passed the entrance exam of the Royal Knight Academy at the age of 12, ranked in the top ten in the academy cadet ranking competition for two consecutive years, and was able to graduate from the academy ahead of schedule. But now, the appearance of this genius boy is completely dwarfed by the other three companions.
"You don't need to make excuses," Kai patted Pasha on the shoulder with pretended earnestness, "It's already common sense that you're the worst of the four of us. â
"Ah, shut up!"
......
Later that day, they finally arrived in the town of Jotun.
It is a quiet and peaceful town, and although it is located in a remote area and food and water are scarce, the people here live at ease.
"Oh, it's a good place for people here. They filled their stomachs at the bakery in the town, and when they saw the brightly lit shops on both sides, Kai sighed, "I thought this remote town would be dark at night. â
"Well, it's a little strange," said Milo, "I've been here once before, and it was a completely lifeless town. How come it has become so prosperous in less than a year?"
"Of course, it's the Bishop's work!"
At this point, the bakery owner suddenly interjected into their conversation.
"Hey, Bishop?" asked Kay, "who?"
"Hey, you don't even know the Bishop?"
Not only the owner of the bakery, but also the entire bakery staff and customers showed the expression of seeing a rare animal.
"I really haven't heard of him, is he famous?" asked Kai, taking a bite of the apple he had just bought.
"The Bishop was appointed here by the church headquarters half a year ago, and for three years before that, there had not been a single priest in the church in the town of Jotun. "The fat bakery owner couldn't help but show admiration on his face when he talked about the bishop, "He is a very remarkable figure, the savior of our town of Jotun, and to the inhabitants of the town of Jotun, the Lord Bishop is God's agent in this world. â
"Oh, that's amazing. Kai casually took a bite of the apple and casually replied, "Is there such a powerful guy in the church?"
"You're so rude to the Bishop!" "The bakery owner shouted before Ellie could reply, "The Bishop is a great man who can perform miracles in ZĂ o, it is he who brought our town of Yotun back from the brink of collapse to the present, and it is he who has brought us hope to achieve this prosperity. â
"Well, the church does have a psychic development department," Ellie said, "and they do develop some civilian emitting psychics, but I've been a royal knight in the Papal City for a few months, and I've never heard of anyone being sent to Jotun. â
"Maybe you're a little bit of a loner," said Milo, after eating a delicate cupcake, "though I haven't heard of it before." â
"That's ......"
The bakery owner was just about to speak, when suddenly there was a loud ringing bell outside the door.
"Oh, the time is up. â
As soon as the bakery owner said this, the rest of the clerks and customers also stood up: "Oh, you have to hurry, it's not good to miss the time." â
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" asked Kai, confused.
"Every night at 9 o'clock, the whole town goes to church to listen to the bishop," said the bakery, "and if you don't, you will be punished by the gods." â
"The sanction of the gods, sounds quite interesting," Kai smiled meaningfully, "Let's go, let's go meet this god's spokesperson in Jotun Town." â
......
Although the town of Jotun is a remote town with a population of only a few hundred, the church on the hill of the town is built tall and majestic.
The church is located in the middle of the town, and any road in the town leads to the outside of the church.
The church is a typical Gothic building, with a tall and thin spire, which feels like it is soaring into the sky at night. The entire church is made of large blocks of rock, which shows a sense of brutal power. Its pointed arches, slender columns, and large windows with colorful glass all set off the solemnity of the church.
"This church is also a miracle of the Bishop," said the bakery, pointing to the building in front of him, "and he used a spell bestowed by the gods to transform the original humble and dilapidated chapel into such a majestic building." â
Walking into the church, hundreds of people are already seated inside. Everyone sat quietly in their seats, not daring to make a noise.
"Oh, it looks like the whole town is here. â
"Shhh â
"Oh, got it," Kai said impatiently, "I'll take notice." â
After a while, a gray-robed priest walked out amid the admiration and prayer of the crowd.
Kai was eager to see the true face of the legendary "Lord Bishop", but the hood on the head of the Lord Bishop completely obscured his face.
"Sons of God, my brothers, who live in this land, pray sincerely. Only in this way can the soul reap peace. The Bishop clasped his hands in a prayer posture, and everyone in the church prayed with their eyes closed.
"The great God will wash away every sin with His holy light. Give His divine grace to each of His children. Behold, God has come to earth, and He will give us hope and wash away our sins......"
"Huh?" the others were listening intently to the Bishop's teachings, but Kai jerked his head up, "This voice?
