Chapter 121: The Paladin, Calthas (2)
After writing, Qin Chu blew on the words on it, watched the ink steam dry, carefully folded the paper into square pieces, and then silently put down a thousand-mana bill on the counter.
After doing all this, Qin Chu rushed to the position next to the window. _o_m
Angelica, Natia, Violet, and a noble girl that Qin Chu didn't know.
Not...... This figure ...... One horse flat river.
Although Qin Chu knew that such an idea was rude, there was no way that this girl's figure was as eye-catching as Athena, although it was in the opposite direction.
Of course, he would never make a rude move, and he had a slightly exaggerated smile on his face: "Ah, today is really my lucky day, who can tell me the name of this angel?" ”
Luisa covered her mouth and chuckled, although Qin Chu's posture was a little exaggerated, it was very useful for a girl, after all, no girl would hate to be praised by others for her beauty.
In front of the brave, Luisa also subconsciously restrained a little bit of her grinning personality, and rarely showed a trace of quietness: "Louisa, Louisa. Lusfield, the praise of the brave lord is really beautiful, by the way, what were you just doing in front of the counter? ”
"I just paid for the meals here." Qin Chu shrugged his shoulders.
"What an elegant gentleman you are."
"I think this is the quality that any man must have, every man is an elegant gentleman."
Luisa is a very talkative lady, she can take the topic very well, so as not to let the scene cool down, but I don't know if it is Qin Chu's illusion, I always feel that Luisa seems to often shift the topic to Natia, and she does not hesitate to praise herself in her words.
Well, that's normal, too.
Natia is indeed a very good woman.
At such a young age, he can reach the strength of the Great Sage level, and the entire Heavenly Dome Continent can't find a few.
"It's a shame, my Natia is also old enough to get married, and I don't know which bastard boy will be cheaper in the end." Luisa gently shook the coffee in her hand, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Hey, Natia is so simple, I'm really afraid that she will be bullied, if only there was a good person who knows the roots." ”
Natia just took small bites of the cake, and when she heard Luisa's words, she raised her azure jewel-like eyes and said in a reassuring tone: "Don't worry, Luisa, don't worry about me being bullied, my magic can easily blow him to pieces......"
Louisa gave up aristocratic etiquette, her face pressed against the table like a limp slime, and the small fork in her hand poked at the cake......
The small mouth is like a frog, bulging one after another.
I can't take it with me.
Miss Natia, please, being able to blow people to pieces with magic is definitely not a plus for women seeking marriage.
I didn't see the brave lord on the other side, and there was already a look of shame on his face!
Moreover, Is the cake that delicious?
When complimenting you, can you keep up with my rhythm and show a little bit of feminine charm appropriately?
Seeing Louisa's depressed appearance, Violet smiled all over her face, although she was a saint, she was obviously not the type who did not eat fireworks in the world, she knew Louisa's purpose very well.
This woman almost shouted in Qin Chu's ear with a loudspeaker, you elm pimple, go and marry Natia!
She was like an audience member watching everything on the stage silently, which she felt was funny and a little warm.
Oh, no!
Luisa shook her head vigorously, she felt that she couldn't be discouraged, after all, this good girlfriend could only rely on herself in this life, if she didn't help, she would really be lonely for the rest of her life.
Luisa regained her strength, and she was ready to start a new round of assists.
But at this moment, Natia, who was enjoying the cake, suddenly stopped what she was doing, she gently pressed her ears with two fingers, Qin Chu knew that someone was using information magic to contact Natia.
I only saw Natia frown slightly, as if something had happened to make her unhappy.
things.
Half a minute or so passed before Natia's fingers left her ear.
"What's going on?" Qin Chu, who was on the other side, raised his eyebrows and asked.
Natia shook her head slightly: "The news of the Holy See, on the one hand, is about the death of Bensen, and on the other hand, it is about dealing with the matter of Catherine and Lothweiser taking the brave out of the city without permission......"
Come to think of it, how important the brave is to the Heavenly Dome Continent, Catherine and Lothweser actually took the brave who had not yet grown up out of the Imperial City privately, if there was any three long and two short, the Heavenly Dome Continent would be finished.
I just came back last night, and today I have to explain my behavior and accept a certain punishment.
"As one of the parties, I also need to go to the Holy See."
"And, near the Cabañas Mountains where Benson was killed, a camp of three thousand two hundred paladins was slaughtered, and all three thousand two hundred paladins were killed, nearly half of whom were beheaded, and the Pope was furious and wanted to ask if we had noticed anything special when we rescued Benson."
"Lord Brave, you'd better go too, some people are curious about Miss Violet too."
Between the Holy See headquarters and the troops sent abroad, they will keep in touch with each other through message magic every once in a while, confirm the status, and once they lose contact, they will immediately arrange for other paladins in the vicinity to investigate, and it is normal to find out that the paladins have been slaughtered so quickly.
However, what Qin Chu didn't expect was that there were three thousand and two paladins who were slaughtered, and this guy Karthas was really black enough.
For this guy, slaughtering 3,200 lives is probably like trampling a nest of ants to death, right?
Qin Chu was prepared and did not panic, he just looked at Natia with some suspicion, this girl did not immediately get up and leave for the Holy See after finishing speaking, but still sat in her seat, and only stood up after eating all the cakes on the plate slowly.
Qin Chu was sure of one thing, this woman likes to eat sweets very much...... It's really embarrassing for her, she likes to eat cakes and other foods so much, and she can maintain such a perfect body, this should be considered a kind of talent, right? I don't know if it's power?
Qin Chu looked at Luisa unhurriedly and stood up: "So, this angel...... Ah, I'm going to praise you again for your beauty...... If I continue like this, I may be seen as a frivolous man. ”
"Well, Miss Louisa, we have other things to attend to, so we're leaving for the time being, and I look forward to seeing you again."
Luisa obviously didn't regard Qin Chu as a frivolous man, she stood up elegantly, pinched the corners of her clothes with her slender fingers, and performed a farewell ceremony.
Although Luisa's reputation in the aristocratic circle is not good, she is also a lady in any case, and the etiquette that should be learned has not been left behind.
After the goodbye was over, Qin Chu and the others walked towards the door.
Although it was a call from the Holy See, Qin Chu was not panicking, he was speculating on the current situation over there, so that he could arrange different ways to deal with it according to different situations.
As soon as he walked to the door, a royal guard suddenly appeared, he didn't say anything but nodded at Qin Chu, and then handed a special, bright silver identity plate to Qin Chu.
The identity nameplate is a prop that can only be produced and issued by the organs recognized by the empire, and its function is similar to that of an ID card on the earth, and Qin Chu also has it.
However, this identity nameplate is not Qin Chu's, but Violet's.
Violet is now a person with status, and she is directly a royal nobleman.
Because on this identity plate, there are two rows of words imprinted with magic: Violet. Abel Sheehan, twenty-nine, royalty, Wadsworth. Cousin Abel Sheehan!
With this identity nameplate alone, Violet can basically walk sideways in the Imperial City, and few people dare to mess with it. _o_m
When Qin Chu and the others came to the Holy See slowly, a few priests at the gate who were in charge of greeting them seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and they didn't think much about it after asking about Violet's identity, this seemed to be the fetish of the brave, and the first generation of the brave was like this, always bringing some inexplicable people back.
Perhaps.
Sensing the gravity of this matter, the apparent tension could be seen on the faces of the priests and nuns who came and went inside the Holy See, and the air was filled with depression.
In the Sanctuary, Augustus, Santa Monica, Wadsworth, who had just separated from Qin Chu, and Zimmerman, the representative of Sage Mountain, were all here, and the members of the Brave Squad had also arrived. _o_m
The air was oppressive and tense, and some anomalies were evident from the positions of the crowd, with Augustus sitting in the center, Wadsworth on the left, Santa Monica on the right, and Zimmermann on the far right.
Santa Monica's right hand rested on the armrest, leaning slightly to the right, and the distance between Santa Monica and Zimmerman was noticeably closer.
The four members of the Brave Squad are at the bottom, with Roswieser and Karthas being slightly closer, and Catherine and Athena being clearly separated.
Athena, in particular, could even peep into her gaze, sweeping over Rosewieser and Karthus from time to time, and sometimes even glancing at Catherine with a suspicious gaze.
Although it is not known what Athena was thinking again last night, it is clear that this woman now doubts everything.
The atmosphere was depressed and tense, and Qin Chu's appearance instantly broke the almost frozen air.
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes fell on Qin Chu, and everyone stood up to greet him, with different expressions.
Augustus, Santa Monica with a soft smile on her face.
Zimmerman seemed to be a little curious about Natia and Qin Chu appearing together, and seemed to be suspicious of the relationship between the two, wondering if his cabbage had been arched......
Wadsworth is still a little rude but not tiresome, but Qin Chu knows very well that this Wadsworth is actually as careful as a hair.
Catherina's eyes lit up slightly, and she quickly disappeared, just nodding imperceptibly at Qin Chu.
Athena's eyes were full of loss and disgust, it was obvious that Qin Chu was not Geralt, she looked at Natia with a little mockery, this poor woman didn't even know that the person she fell in love with was not Qin Chu at all, but another better and gentler man. What kind of thing are you, like Lord Geralt, and you deserve it too?
Lothweiser's body tensed instantly, obviously afraid that Qin Chu would tell the events of that night.
As for Karthas himself, he didn't think about it so much, his disgusted gaze swept from Qin Chu, and immediately fell on Violet, and it could be seen from the pair of fire-breathing eyes that Karthas was quite dissatisfied with his previous failures and wanted to get back on the field.
Qin Chu didn't care about the eyes around him, and after entering the Holy Hall, he quickened his pace a little and walked towards Augustus.
This move made Roswiser's eyes shrink violently, and a pair of big eyes stared at Qin Chu.
"Ah, my Pope......"
"I've heard about it, I'm sorry for the sacrifices of those paladins, it's sad news, they are all good warriors."
As Qin Chu spoke, he walked up to Augustus, shook hands with Augustus, who had already stood up, and then hugged him.
Augustus's expression remained unchanged, and there was a slight sadness in his eyes: "Your Excellency, thank you for your kindness. ”
The two didn't communicate much and soon separated.
Seeing that Qin Chu didn't say that Karthas was the murderer of the paladin, Roseweiser breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Excellency, please take a break, I want to prepare for the meeting." After parting, Augustus said softly to Qin Chu, and immediately turned to leave.
Qin Chu also began to greet Wadsworth, Santa Monica, Zimmerman and others in turn, the upper class is not happy with this, if it is a civilian, waving his hand and shouting from a long distance is considered a greeting, but the upper class is different, and the cumbersome etiquette alone may take a long time.
Even the order of the salute has very strict standards, the order is related to identity, seniority, status, strength, the slightest mistake, it may be regarded as disrespectful by the other party, and then it will be enmity.
At the end of the ceremony, Rossweiser came to Qin Chu's side and smiled sweetly at Qin Chu.
This is to thank Qin Chu for abiding by the agreement with himself and not telling the matter that Karthhas is the murderer.
…… In Lothweiser's opinion, taking the initiative to give him a smile is already a great gift.
Qin Chu dared to swear to the heavens in the name of the Holy Light Goddess, he really didn't say anything.
……
On the other side, Augustus, who had left the templar, appeared alone in the confessional.
He waved his hand to set up an enchantment to block out all magical visits, and then opened his right hand, and in the palm of his hand was a piece of paper folded into four squares.
Augustus didn't make any moves, and the pieces of paper automatically floated up from his palms and spread out.
A line of text appeared clearly in front of Augustus.
Kill the Paladin, Karthas!.
