Chapter 16 Sorry, if you have a relationship, you can do whatever you want
The Church of the Night has thirteen archbishops and nine senior deacons.
And these twenty-two gentlemen and ladies are the top of the church in the usual sense, and it is said that there are many high-ranking powerhouses among them.
Although there is a slight difference in strength, they are completely equal at the level of status.
Follow only the oracle of the goddess of the night and be accountable only to the Pope.
And Senior Deacon Crestai Cesima, who came this time, is a strong man in Sequence Five.
All of the above information was told to Klein by Dunn.
And in fact, less than ten minutes after Dunn said all this.
A man in his thirties wearing a black trench coat and a white shirt entered the room.
His blond-brown hair was shaved short, his dark green eyes looked like a moonless lake in the middle of the night, and the neckline of his shirt and trench coat stood high up, hiding his entire chin in shadow.
"Your Excellency Cessima."
Before the others could react, Dunn immediately saluted.
"Hmm."
Crestai Cesima bowed slightly, sat leisurely on one of the chairs, rested his right leg on his left leg, and said with a smile, "It seems that you all already know how to play it?" ”
"Yes, Sir Secima."
Dunn's expression moved slightly, and he took two steps forward to explain.
"It's okay."
Crestai Sesima waved his hand and said leisurely, "I can understand the feeling of wanting to help my colleagues, and a leak before I swore an oath to the goddess is not a leak. But I'll make sure,"
After a pause, Crestai Cessima's gaze swept over everyone, "You know that the people who play the law should be here, right?" ”
"And Team El."
Dunn explained, "They're guarding Chanis Gate right now. ”
"I see."
Crestai Sesima nodded slightly.
Then, he stooped down and lifted the silver-white box at his feet and placed it on his lap.
He raised his right hand and pressed it down, and something suddenly shattered and disintegrated on the surface of the silver-white box like a piano case, and the tide receded.
Almost at the same time, Crane felt all the glow around him be drawn to the inside of the box.
Then he saw that the room was pitch black, except for the box that was flowing with silver and white brilliance, and the scene was very strange.
And in the box.
It is a pure white bone sword.
Its surface may seem immaculate, but if you look closely, you will find that the depths are densely covered with layers of symbols and logos, and these mysterious patterns form an inseparable whole with the blade.
Crane looked at the holy sword, and suddenly realized that he couldn't take his eyes off it.
His gaze was sucked in, and his brown eyes slowly lost their luster.
"Dunn."
Crestai moved the Pure Bone Sword and spoke, "Put your hand on it." ”
The others woke up in an instant, and their eyes looked at the pure white bone sword with a little awe and fear.
But soon.
Dunn stepped forward and pressed his hand on the sword.
"Follow me."
Crestai said in a deep voice.
"The goddess of the night who is nobler than the starry sky, older than eternity;"
"I swear to you by my real name and my spirituality."
"I, Dunn Smith, will never reveal the details to anyone who doesn't know how to play from now on."
"If you disobey, you will be punished."
"Bear witness to my oath."
Dunn followed Senior Deacon Sesima and solemnly recited the oath in Hermes.
Then he withdrew his right hand, drew a crimson moon on his chest, and whispered:
"Praise the Goddess."
"Praise the Goddess."
Crestai smiled and saluted.
Then.
Klein, Leonard, and the others repeated the previous operations one by one, and they all wanted to take the oath of the goddess.
When he was done, Cresta snapped the lid shut and let her right hand press heavily and slowly.
Darkness was lit up in an instant, and the glow of the gas lamp filled the room once more.
Klein saw Senior Deacon Secima's eyes dyed dark black, and at the same moment, they returned to dark green.
"Go and call El Squad."
Crestai spoke slowly, "You will take their place for the time being. ”
"Yes, Sir Sesima."
Dunn bowed slightly, gave the rest of the room a look, and led them out of the room.
"Crane, Leonard."
Dunn walked out of the room and immediately ordered, "You come with me, and the others go back." ”
Klein nodded, and the group quickly parted.
Frye and the others return to their jobs, while Crane follows Dunn to Chanismen to replace El Squad.
And soon, the three members of the El team also swore an oath to the goddess under the 'witness' of the pure white bone sword.
In the end, only embers remained.
"You go out first."
Crestai closed the box again, looked at Al and the others and ordered.
"Your Excellency Cessima."
Al's heart tightened, thinking that Sesima was going to punish Ember for revealing the trick first.
"Don't worry."
Crestai smiled slightly, "That's not a bad thing. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Al lowered his head and silently led the other two out of the room.
Crestalt is a high-ranking deacon, presumably there is no reason to deceive him into a low-level extraordinaire of Sequence Seven.
"So."
When the others left, Crestai immediately put on a serious expression, "Your Excellency, I think I must be obliged to inform you that the existence of the Acting Law must be kept strictly confidential and cannot be leaked at will. ”
"I know."
Ember bowed slightly, and took the initiative to ask, "Then I take the oath now?" ”
"No, no."
Crestai had a strange expression, "Goddess oracle, just let me remind you not to spread the law at will, you don't need to take an oath. It's just that if you want to teach other people how to play in the future, remember to talk to the church. ”
"Okay."
Ember was slightly surprised, and nodded lightly after a moment of silence.
"That'll do."
Crestai nodded, and continued, "One more thing, we need to escort the seal back to Beckland immediately, are you with us or staying in Tingen for the time being?" ”
"Let's do it together."
Ember thought for a moment and said slowly.
After all, Beckland is the capital of the Kingdom of Rune.
According to his previous experience, the Black Emperor was most likely in the capital.
And his instincts told him that there was no point in staying in Tingen.
"Okay."
Crestai nodded, stood up and walked towards the door, then turned back and said, "You keep both seals in your custody, take care to isolate their influence." ”
Ember did not object.
Because for him, isolating the influence of these 'seals' is actually very simple-
Just throw it into the soul space.
And in fact.
When he got '2-049' and the Antigonus family notes from behind Chanis, Ember did exactly that.
Although this made Al and his expression extremely terrifying, fortunately, on the return trip, they no longer had to charter an entire carriage for fear of the impact of the seal.
Instead, you can pretend to be an ordinary person and return to Beckland with other passengers-
After all, it's actually quite expensive to charter a carriage.
From the city of Tingen to Beckland, it takes only about four hours by steam train.
So the ticket is not too expensive relatively speaking.
The deluxe first class is three-quarters of a pound, which is 15 sucks, and the second class is 10 sucks, half a pound.
Very crowded, in very poor condition, the 3rd class is quite cheap, costing only 5 sules.
But even so, even the cheapest third-class carriage would cost nearly six hundred soles, a full thirty pounds!
That's the equivalent of two and a half months' salary for Klein –
Or Ember's weekly salary for a week.
Although Ember so far, there is not too clear an idea of these currencies.
His mind was still stuck on shopping with his soul.
As for the money saved, it was certainly not saved for the church, but divided equally among their squads.
After all, these expenses can be reimbursed.
You can not spend, but you can't not reimburse, and you can't report it in vain!
"I knew it was like this."
On the steam train, El Hassen said bitterly, "The money that came to Tingen can also be saved." ”
Lorota rolled her eyes, don't bother to pay attention to him.
