Chapter 8: The Church of the Stars
Brian pushed open the door and saw an old man with gray hair and a ruddy complexion, wearing a velvet waistcoat and wide silk trousers underneath, and not wearing leggings or boots like other nobles. Dunbar is not tall, he is also thin, he looks amiable, and there is no such thing as the strong of the strong, but all this is superficial, Brian firmly believes that even if he is a red dragon, he does not want to provoke the old man.
"Drink something, lest you go out and say that the people of the Fergus family do not know how to be hospitable. Dunbar smiled, "Temple, it's a bad day today, let's make the room a little brighter." ”
Brian was wondering who the old man was talking to, and the lamp hanging from the roof actually sounded, "Yes, Dear Mr. Dunbar, the lamp demon complies with your request. ”
"Okay, you can be quiet. Fergus pulled out a crystal bottle with a red liquid in it. "Home made wine, welcome to taste. ”
"You're welcome, let's talk about something important, or you won't see me. Brian gets straight to the point.
Dunbar looked at the young man seriously and said: "This matter is indeed very important, I don't even know where to start, let's talk about how you know about St. Ossidine, this name, the entire Lukai Continent has been more than four hundred years, and no one has mentioned it again." ”
Brian took the crystal chic glass handed by Dunbar, took a sip of red wine and said, "Four hundred years, that's right, Bartlett said before he died, four hundred years ago, we should have surrendered to the feet of St. Ossidine. ”
Dunbar's gray eyebrows trembled and said: "That lumberjack owner is right, St. Ossidine used to be the god worshiped by the Chenxing Church, four hundred and thirty years ago, the Chenxing Church ruled this land, and established two huge empires in the north and south, at that time, there was no Wisdom Holy Light Church, let alone the Amellot Empire, all the rebels were heretics, and they were found to be executed. ”
"Is it your ancestor who solved St. Ossidine?" said Brian's eyes with reverence.
"No, no, no, no one can deal with that terrible god, and as their devotees say, St. Ossidine is invincible, not even one of his apostles, none of us at all. Dunbar fell into memory, "But I don't know why, the strength of the Celestial Star Church has rapidly declined, and no one can figure out what problems have arisen within them? ”
"How come I don't know about this history?" said Brian, curious.
"Child, the history you see is a long story that has been embellished by the church, and that is not the real historical fact. Dunbar said, "But for the sake of rule, ordinary people don't have to know that." ”
"Can't we even beat an apostle?" Brian worried, remembering that Bartlett called the resurrected Occam a messenger, and was probably an apostle. "Even the Great Sword Saint and the Great Magus are not his opponents?"
"Yes, if the apostle completes his development, he will have the ability to be close to that of a god, and the strong who reach the holy realm cannot match it, unless it is another god, he can fight him. ”
"Oops, a newborn apostle, right under my nose, fleeing into the Misty Forest. Brian was a little annoyed, if he knew that it was so serious, he would chase after it desperately, and never let the child escape.
Dunbar's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "This matter is related to the fate of the entire continent, it will take a few years for the apostle to grow, and he can't wait for him to become stronger, he must immediately notify the church and check the misty forest." ”
Brian stood up and said, "Then I'll do it right away." ”
Dunbar shook his head: "Your words are slight, you won't attract much attention from them, it seems that I am the only one who has made a trip myself." ”
"You're going out of the castle yourself?" said Brian, surprised, the old nobleman had not been out for many years.
"Yes, that kid from Alcott is rushing here, and now in Maple Leaf Town, I'll talk to him, his temple guards should be able to cut off the crisis. ”
Brian was extremely respectful in his heart, the old man sat at home, but he didn't know anything, how many people could call the cardinal a kid in the empire?
Dunbar came to the square table and sat down, picked up a long metal pipe with a flare, and ordered inside: "Palmer, I will leave the castle in half an hour and go to Maple Leaf Town, you immediately make the necessary arrangements." Yes, it's me alone, let the blue-haired griffin carry me there, and you prepare a sumptuous dinner to entertain my guests, and Mr. Brian has brought extremely important news, he is the benefactor of the Empire, and has asked Helois to accompany the guests in the evening. ”
"It's really disturbing, I don't think I need to eat, I just happened to encounter this incident, and other people will do the same, and I am not a benefactor of the empire. Brian excused himself.
"You're wrong, I dare say that if it were someone else, I'm afraid that we wouldn't have such a keen judgment and wouldn't feel that St. Ossidin is an important piece of information, then we would have missed the best opportunity to save the entire plane. Remember, it's the entire plane, not just the Lukai Continent. Dunbar suddenly smiled, "Herois, my granddaughter, has been spoiled by me since childhood, you should be careful at dinner." ”
"Whole ...... The whole plane?" Brian was taken aback, about Helois, but didn't pay attention to it. Although he didn't know much about the concept of the plane, he probably knew that the plane was much broader than the continent, and it could be said that the entire space where the continent was located, including the realm of the gods. "Will even the gods we believe in be immune to this catastrophe?"
"It's all a matter of luck, God, and it's not as omnipotent as you think. In other words, the god you believe in may not be the true god at all. Dunbar took off his velvet waistcoat, "Nick, bring me my coat." ”
"Okay, I'll do it right away. A shrill voice replied, and the mirror of the wardrobe suddenly rippled like the surface of the water, and in the center of the ripples came a small green-skinned monster, with slender limbs and a large head, and no eyelids bulging outward, and it looked ugly enough.
"My God, even the demons are just the old man's servants. Brian watched Nick take out his coat, which was an eye-opener.
"Remember, child, that we are not to talk to anyone about our conversation today, especially not to let Herois know that if her madness comes up, she may run into the misty forest first. Dunbar solemnly instructed before leaving.
