Chapter 498: Emissary of the Holy See
readx;
In order to experience the different mercenaries or thief cities, we didn't choose to go back the same way, but chose a completely different direction. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Calculate the distance, as well as the speed of our current travel, it will take more than half a month to leave the Nikolasha Empire and enter the territory with the Orat Empire.
I have to say that it is very pleasant to have the Phantom and these people to escort all the way. Although I don't think much of their strength, they are more than enough to deal with ordinary thieves. And, or perhaps the habit of killers, every time they don't wait for the thieves to do anything, they have already killed the past, turning the passive into the active, which I deeply appreciate. The only one who is dissatisfied is probably the lively and active Alice, because this will make her lose the opportunity to do it.
Elder Hailin automatically took on the role of steward, and every time he rested, he would take care of everything properly. She didn't mention her own people, nor did she say that I would be their holy lord, but she was very dutiful in arranging everything in our way. However, the occasional eager glance at me still made me feel her deep anticipation.
I completely ignore this. My intuition tells me that even if I can easily lift the bloodline seal of the Dark Clan, it will definitely not be so simple after lifting, and it will most likely become a big trouble. Therefore, I am not enthusiastic about lifting the seal on Elder Hailin's body. My deep understanding of the meridians allowed me to come up with more than a dozen ways to break the bloodline seal, but until I tried it, these were just ideas.
Seven days later, we arrived at the City of the Heavenly Winds.
Tianfeng City is just a very ordinary peripheral city of the empire, and it is a large thief group Tianfeng that occupies here, and it is not a weak force in the periphery of the empire, and it has always been very united. Therefore, on the periphery of the empire, where wars were very fierce and frequent, Skywind City did not fluctuate much.
"Captain, shall we rest here for the night?" asked Helen, leaning over. "It seems a little weird here. "In Tianfeng City, there is depression everywhere, and occasionally I see a few people on the street, and most of them are soldiers on patrol.
"There are indeed quirks. I laughed and said, "Such a depressed city looks like there has just been a war, maybe there will be a good show to watch." How about you? Would you like to stay here for the night?", the latter sentence naturally asked Filia who was sitting in the carriage.
"Yes, yes!" Before Filia could answer, Alice, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, had already poked her head out excitedly and said loudly. She hadn't been robbed by thieves for a few days, and she was already very stuffy in the car.
"Alright then! I smiled and tapped the bridge of her nose and agreed.
Fresh Wind Hotel, this is the largest hotel in Tianfeng City, although the rest of the city is very deserted, but it is still full of traffic and people. After hearing that both the service and the food were top-notch, Alice, who had just settled down, couldn't wait to pull me and Philia out of the house. It's a pity that when Philia and I came here with Alice, we couldn't even book a private room on the second floor, so we could only find an unobtrusive corner in the lobby on the first floor, and naturally we couldn't feel how outstanding the service here was. As for the food...... "Brother, there are so many people here! If we knew this, we might as well eat the food cooked by the two sisters before coming out." Alice stirred up the food in front of her with a lack of interest, and said disappointedly. "I think, let's go back and eat again!"
"You were the one who wanted us to come in just now, and now it's you who want to leave right away. Philia taught her a serious lesson: "Since you have ordered a meal, no matter how bad it is, you have to eat a little." ”
"Brother......" Alice looked at me pleadingly, pitiful Sissy said.
"Eat!" I shook my head, and said, "Aren't you going to follow your brother on adventures in the future?
"Oh!" Alice looked down in disappointment, frowning at the food in front of her.
I couldn't laugh at it, and it was so funny to see her face dealing with the delicacies in the eyes of others. However, seeing that she is already so depressed, I don't stimulate her. It just so happened that the conversation at the next table piqued my interest.
"Young Master, you said that the Holy See sent a cardinal to lead a delegation to the Empire, is it true?" The speaker was a swordsman at the table next to us, who seemed to deliberately want to attract everyone's attention, and he said it very loudly.
"What I said can be false?" the speaker was a young swordsman with bright armor, looking at his radiant appearance, his eyebrows fluttering, it was obviously when he was full of ambition, but his arrogant and commanding face was very disgusting, and the fiery eyes that fell on Filia from time to time made me very disgusted at first sight. "I heard my father say that he will soon be the new lord of the city, so the council told him to be ready to be greeted. Probably, it will be there in the afternoon. ”
"So, young master, won't you be able to become a young city lord soon?" A few people next to him said flatteringly: "That's really to congratulate the young master, oh, no, it should be the young city lord, and when the time comes, the young city lord will have to carry him a lot." ”
"That's for sure. The young swordsman's face was full of pride, and he looked like he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and said, "When the time comes, you will all be beneficial." ”
"Thank you, young city lord. Several swordsmen were overjoyed, and they were suddenly full of sycophants, and I was amused to see that look.
"It's really strange to say, this civil strife is obviously a conflict between the Holy See and the Imperial Council, why send any cardinals to the Empire?" said a swordsman after a long pause. "Aren't you afraid that something will happen to this cardinal?"
"Who knows!" said the young swordsman disappreciatively, "I heard that this Manro riot, the people sent by the Holy See suffered a big loss, and even the angels appeared, but they still couldn't help the council. Maybe they're trying to compromise, right?"
"Isn't it? Not even an angel, and the council is so powerful?"
"Probably!I'll tell you, this time the Empire is determined to oppose the Holy See, and I was in my father's study yesterday, and I saw the council order expelling the Illuminati?"
I shook my head disdainfully, the Imperial Council issued an order to expel the Illuminati, and it was already in place when several territories rebelled at the same time. Even now, he still shows it off, and the transmission of news here is really slow enough.
"Doesn't that mean that there will be a war soon? the Holy See is so powerful, how can the Empire deal with it?"
"So," said the young swordsman proudly, "so my father has always pressed the order, and neither of them can be offended." Rest assured, even if it does start, we don't need to deal with it. What should you be thinking about now, what should you be looking for at night?"
Everyone responded in unison and began to discuss the wind and snow. I retract my attention to the fact that this is not uncommon, and along the way, many of the outer mercenaries or thief cities have defied the council's decision, but I'm sure Fide will have a way to solve this problem. However, it is a bit strange that the Holy See actually sent a cardinal to lead a visit, and I certainly don't think that they want to compromise anything.
"Xiaotian, what are you thinking?" Filia asked strangely, looking at me thoughtfully.
"Nothing. I smiled and shook my head, leaving the matter behind. The war between the Holy See and the Nicholas Shah Empire is absolutely unavoidable, probably this is just a temptation of the Holy See, or the Holy See still needs some time, what does it have to do with me?
"This young lady, why is your voice so familiar, have we seen it somewhere?" The young swordsman next to him had already noticed Filia as soon as he entered, although she was veiled, her charm was still irresistible. The reason why the young swordsman behaved so flamboyantly was actually just showing off, hoping to attract her attention. At this time, seeing that we wanted to leave, I finally couldn't hold back and walked over.
"Xiaotian, let's go!" This kind of scene has been exposed to a lot, and Phiya has long been used to it, so she just glanced at the other party coldly before she said softly to me.
I nodded indifferently, as if the young swordsman didn't exist, and walked first. His position is coincidental, and if we want to go there, we must pass through his position.
"Don't go, stay and talk to me!" The young swordsman's face changed slightly, and it was naturally not something he could bear to be ignored like this. As soon as he stretched out his hands, he wanted to stop us, but found that when I approached, his body had unconsciously given way to the side, and he was pushed away by the invisible hand.
"Stop!" The few people at the same table with him, seeing that their "young master" was so ignored, they didn't understand that it was an opportunity to be courteous. In the flicker of the figure, seven or eight swordsmen had already stopped us. "Young Master talks to you, how dare you be so rude? Do you know who he is?"
I frowned slightly, there were so many of these things happening, so much so that I already knew what kind of method to use to solve things the fastest. So, I still didn't pay attention to it, and walked over to them first. It's just that they were shocked to find that the other party should have collided, but they began to retreat to the side inexplicably, and they were just a few points away from the encirclement calmly by the other three people.
