Chapter 144: Return to the Front Line 8
Instead of having to go to the crystal statue to receive Delia's blessing ceremony like other ordinary warriors, Ed pondered for a while and completed the process of communicating with him.
After studying the mystery for a while, Ed came out with his two companions, and by this time they had reconciled and were no longer in dispute over the matter.
Some of the people outside, as if hearing the news of Delia's arrival, gathered together to meet her, and when they saw the holy woman in their hearts, they fell down on their knees and sang hymns of praise to Delia's greatness.
Ed recognized many of them as people from the previous Di Lia's personal guard, and looked at the frowning brows of the girls around him, obviously displeasing but there was nothing that could be done by this group of fanatics.
Seeing this scene, Andrei walked over, and several leaders in the crowd seemed to be very familiar, they talked a few words, and the crowd slowly dispersed under the command of the leader, looking at everyone's satisfied appearance, as if it was their greatest wish to come to pay homage to the saint every day.
Ed understands that there has always been a huge disagreement between Andre and Delia in the attitude towards this force, although the girl has also held many speeches in the early stage, and has gathered the skeleton of the Holy Maiden Army with one hand, but she thinks that it is only to gather strength against the Ingier army, which is not necessary when it has the support of the Roland royal family and is justified.
And Andre obviously doesn't want to give up this potential power just like that, with the power of Di Liya's star spirit, these ordinary people in front of him can be transformed into a powerful armed force at any time, coupled with their will to not be afraid of death for the saint, the power that erupted for a while makes people tremble excitedly.
André is ambitious, but he succumbs to the way of the gods of Deria. At present, there are no differences between the two sides on the general direction, and it is still necessary for each other to cooperate and learn from each other's strong points. Eddard didn't look like he had seen the original three-man team fall apart, trying to maintain harmony within.
He took a neutral stance. Instead of getting involved in such a sensitive issue as the Holy Maidens, it earned him a relatively high position among these fanatical warriors, second only to the Holy Maiden, and everyone who devoutly served Delia hoped that one day he would be treated like Eddard and be one step closer to the Holy Maiden.
Maybe this is also Andre's influence in secret, showing favor to the boy, but whatever, Ed figured out all this but still doesn't want to participate in this troubled water.
After seeing the giant crystal statue, Delia instructed him to meet Malorne, the son of the buck. The leaders of the druids, hearing that his ranks had expanded considerably, not only brought back a new batch of young druids from the clan, but also merged the team of forest rangers led by Shirin.
Earlier, Ed had a little ambiguous feeling when he saw these two mercenary leaders, but he didn't expect that now it seems that they are really coming together, and the hard work pays off, Malone has really won the favor of Delia with his several outstanding performances, and there are many important tasks that will be considered to be handed over to them. The young druids under him were fully trained, and he himself gained the extremely precious friendship of the big guys.
Ed and Malone have a good relationship, not to mention the influence of Delia, the first two life-saving graces alone make it impossible for the teenager to refuse any requests from the other party. Perhaps the rescue from the underground was mainly due to Kiri, and Larry survived the battle due to the unknown influence, but it is undeniable that Malone's help to him is tangible.
Meet Ed. The son of the buck was also very happy, and hugged each other and confided in each other. Ed noticed that the beard on the other party's face no longer seemed to be as dense as before, revealing the smooth face underneath.
"I can't see it. You seem to be a lot younger!"
Malone smiled bitterly and raised her hand to touch her chin, but only some sparse stubble remained, poking her hand very much.
"Oh, don't mention it, Shirin doesn't like it, and I can't ......help it."
"Haha!" Ed heard this, and burst out of laughter uncontrollably, but he didn't expect that this leader was actually a strict wife, and the two were talking and laughing, but Shirin came out of the room.
Graceful swaying steps, Ed was served a glass of wine, and Shirin, a mature woman with ancient elven blood, leaned on Malonen and joined in their conversation, making the big man immediately much more docile and less heroic.
During the conversation, Ed realized that it was only thanks to the help of Maloen and others that Delia was able to find such a large piece of crystal.
"Although the crystal itself that the commander needs does not require much transparency and is not valuable in the market, it is not common to have such a large natural one, you need to strengthen the protection work, if you lose it, it will be very difficult to find it!" said Malorn solemnly, it seemed that it took him a lot of effort to find this thing underground.
"You idiot, this is a heavily guarded camp in the middle of the army, not to mention that there are knights like Eddard stationed, where would there be a thief's idea to fight that thing, and how can such a big piece be transported away, broken and taken away, that is not worth it!" Shirin interrupted his sweetheart's stupid words angrily, I really don't know why I chose this guy.
"Oh, yes!" said Malone, still habitually raising her hand and touching her beard.
Ed's heart moved at this time, "It's hard to find natural ones, I don't know if there is a way to make them artificially?"
Malorn thought for a moment, "It's not hard to find a hedron of purity like this, the key is that the head is generally not big, and I haven't tried to artificially stitch it into a whole, so I don't know what the method is." ”
Ed nodded, and Shirin said, "If only those magicians were still around, they must have a way." ”
Ed remembered that Mr. Gray, who had developed the gunpowder of this world for himself, and his group of apprentices who had to do their homework every day, did miss it a little, but after the city of Ovaret was saved, the other party ended the employment relationship with the army of Delia and left for the other side, otherwise he could still ask him about the relationship with Carmen, why both of them have the same gray mask.
"Anyway, I think there will be a lot of demand for this kind of spar in the future, please continue to help in this matter!"
Malonen nodded, signaling that he would take the matter to heart and work out a fusion as soon as possible, and as he left, he gave Ed a few more gadgets as gifts, including the Life Pendant, which had been of great help last time, and a scabbard made of hedrons.
After Ed thanked him, he picked it up curiously, and began to scan it with the engraving while waiting for the other party's detailed explanation. (To be continued......)
