Chapter 186 is here
"Anahad."
Due to the hot climate of the Holy Land, Anahad, who knew that he was wearing a shabby bearskin cloak and had passed the eye-catching, wore only a linen shirt and turned his head when he heard the words.
"Your Excellency, you're back."
He bowed his head humbly.
The demon hunter who was originally cold and hard-tempered, like a stinky stone in a pit, when he saw Lothar again today, he only felt that Lothar's temperament was even more terrifying than when he saw it the day before.
If you have to describe it, in his senses, Lothar is like a dragon entrenched in Hellfire, spitting black demonic fire from his mouth, nose, and scales.
It makes people feel a sense of horror that they want to bow and worship.
"Who would have thought that the revered hero of the Holy Land would be a wizard specializing in dark magic."
Anahad felt a sigh of emotion in his heart.
He was sure that Lothar was a wizard who cultivated dark magic, and he was a very powerful one, otherwise he would not have been able to have such an aura.
He began to wonder if he was the right thing to do to work with the wizard lord.
Lothar led the mount and asked casually, "Haven't you found your fellow disciple yet?" ”
Anahad shook his head.
"Are you sure he's really in Jerusalem?"
Lothar frowned, he had asked Anahad many times this question.
He was sure every time, but he never explained why.
"I'm absolutely sure."
"Give me a reason."
Lothar said in a deep voice, "Demon Hunter, I hope you don't try to fool me, the consequences will be serious. ”
Anahad lowered his head, the top of his head, sideburns, and back ridge, oozing a fine layer of sweat.
The pressure Lothar brought to him was several times more terrifying than the most powerful monster he had ever seen in his life.
"I don't dare fool you, but I dare not say it."
Lothar asked, "What does it have to do with the Temple Mount?" ”
"For the past two days, I have noticed that you have been wandering around the Temple Mount, Anahad, why are you sure that your fellow demon hunters will haunt this neighborhood?"
Anahad was stunned for a moment and whispered, "If you have to know, I hope you don't blame me." ”
"You've got to talk about it first."
Anahad hesitated and whispered:
"My fellow disciple wants to rely on the holy relics of Jerusalem to restrain the power of the demons, so as to ensure that he successfully completes the ritual of containing the demons, and you also know that there are witches in Gaul, Albion, and Germania, and it is too difficult to steal."
"Only Jerusalem, where there are more relics, and I have never heard of a witch working for a king—of course, this proved to be a big mistake."
Anahad glanced at Lothar and the two ladies behind him, and silently added in his heart: not only yes, but also a powerful wizard lord.
Lothar pondered, "Holy relics—so the goal of your fellow disciples is the fragment of the true cross hidden in Jerusalem?" ”
"No, not necessarily...... Holy foreskin, fragments of a true cross, a holy spear that has disappeared, anything. ”
Anahad whispered, "You know, taking the Holy Foreskin as an example, there are more than a dozen churches that claim to have this holy relic in their collections, and even the Pope can't identify which one is the real one. ”
"No wonder you don't want to say it directly, you want to attack the holy relics, you are so bold."
Lothar's voice was cold: "But Anahad, why are you sure that your fellow disciples will not succeed?" ”
As if he had completely broken through the psychological defense, Anahad no longer hesitated, and said bluntly: "Lord Lothar, if there really is a holy relic, then it must have a spirit and will not be touched by people with evil thoughts. ”
"What you say makes sense, but don't your fellow disciples understand what you know?"
Anahad gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, my fellow has been bewitched by the devil, and he firmly believes that he is a devout believer on the path of justice. ”
"He believes that power does not distinguish between good and evil, just as the butcher's knife does not distinguish between good and evil, and can be used to kill evil and uphold justice, or it can be used to slaughter the weak - in his eyes, he is undoubtedly a very decent character."
Lothar was silent.
Fringira whistled and said a little flirtatiously, "My lord, this is a familiar word. ”
Lothar said something similar when he first spoke to Uldin.
But in reality, power is good and evil.
A werewolf transformed from a human will subtly change his mind, and he may be able to maintain his sanity at first, but as the number of cannibals increases, sooner or later he will lose control and become a beast.
Just like Abelardo, if he hadn't died at the hands of Lothar, he would have become a man-eating beast.
The servant produced by the system doesn't seem to be affected by this kind of influence, because he is there.
"Anahad, I think there's a better chance you'll catch your fellow men by staying outside the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre, because there's a collection of Holy Shrouds, fragments of the True Cross. The Temple of God on the Temple Mount was originally a Zoroastrian temple that had just been converted into a church during the First Crusade. ”
Not only the Holy Temple, but almost all the domed churches in Jerusalem were converted from Zoroastrian temples.
Anahad was stunned: "I'm sorry, my lord, I don't know this—in fact, I'm not a believer. ”
Lothar smiled: "It is understandable, Anahad, the West Slavs have only just begun to convert to the true faith in the last two hundred years, and there are still many people on the Baltic coast who still adhere to polytheism, which is not something to make a fuss about. ”
"Prepare, your fellow will most likely arrive at night - you see, if you had made it clear earlier, you wouldn't have wasted so much time, but hopefully he hasn't succeeded yet."
Lothar rolled over and jumped on his mount on the flat road at the foot of the mountain: "Anahad, we are in the same boat now, and I hope you can be more open and honest than be so secretive." ”
Anahad lowered his head, hesitated, and said, "In the seal in the hands of my fellow disciples, there is a demon named Eliza, who is the Abyss Lord representing love, and if it breaks the seal—I mean if it does, please be sure to get rid of it as soon as possible." ”
"At the beginning of breaking the seal, it is also the time when the demon is the weakest, if he is allowed to escape, when this vengeful demon recovers, he will definitely launch a crazy revenge on us."
"Don't worry, this isn't the first time I've dealt with demons."
Lothar glanced at Anahad, her face relaxed, but there was a hint of solemnity in her heart.
The last time she dealt with the demons, Jeanne was there—without her holy spear, Lothar was still a little apprehensive.
But the situation is urgent, and I can't wait for Jeanne to come back.
Wait a minute......
Lothar suddenly realized one thing, the holy spear, it seems to be Jeanne's talent, not skill.
So does it mean that you can share it yourself?
Lothar tried to make a choice.
…
When arriving at the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre.
Archbishop William was personally preaching to a group of nobles who had come on pilgrimage.
Lothar waited for a moment, and Archbishop William approached him with some helplessness.
"Is there anything I need help with?"
Lothar shook her head with a smile on her face and said, "Your Excellency, I am not here to ask you for help, but to help you. ”
"Help me with what?"
Archbishop William's face was full of vigilance, obvious disbelief.
Lothar coughed lightly: "Someone is going to do something about the holy relics stored in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. ”
"You can rest assured, since that time, the Holy Sepulchre's defense has been much stricter than before."
Archbishop William waved his hand.
When Lothar brought it up, he came to blackmail him.
"What's that?"
Lothar blinked: "Your Excellency, you mean that the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre has been stolen once?" ”
Archbishop William said angrily: "So you just say what you want me to help you, right?" ”
Lothar coughed lightly: "It's not that I want to help, it's that I have recovered the Diocese of Alaindere, and I think this place should be run by Father Uldin—the poverty of the Order of St. Lazarus, we all see it, and he deserves it, doesn't he?" ”
Archbishop William snorted, "You're talking about the witchcraft who buys people's hearts and minds—I even regret that you asked me to grant him the position of parish priest in Jogrussburg, and that such a person should be branded a heretic." ”
Lothar stared at him without blinking.
Archbishop William was a little hairy.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Well, this is the last time I will help you, but you remember, this is definitely the last time." ”
Lothar smiled and said: "Your Excellency, don't think that I am trying to blackmail you, we are partners in helping each other, as I said before, recently, there will really be thieves to steal the holy relics." ”
Archbishop William gave the order to evict the guest with a calm face: "Okay, I know, now please leave." ”
He was at a critical juncture in his bid for the Patriarchate of Jerusalem, otherwise he would not have been threatened by Lothar.
"Although you don't welcome me, I can't leave, because what I'm saying about a thief coming to steal the relics is true, and this thief is an evil creature of darkness - not something ordinary people can deal with."
Lothar said sincerely.
Archbishop William was silent for a while, and then whispered, "You can stay in the tower of the church. Lothar, I hope you didn't lie to me. ”
"Don't worry, if you're lucky, I'll be able to get a new werewolf corpse today."
Lothar smiled and bowed.
This witcher has the power of a werewolf in his body, and his body should be similar to that of a werewolf after death.
…
Lothar then took Prajna and Fringira to stay in the tower for the whole afternoon.
Captain Hogg was outnumbered, and Lothar didn't take him with him.
There are too many places for him to use his money now, and he will not use the gold coins stored in the system's loot store easily.
Because this is the only improvement that can be made to the servants in the face of war.
"It's coming!"
Anahad suddenly whispered.
I saw a man in a hooded white robe, at this time, with his head down, slowly walking to the square in front of the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre.
