42 Iron hooves struck

The city was surprisingly quiet in the early hours of the morning, and the heavily armored soldiers led by Karn outside the city were pressed down like dark clouds.

The bishop, who had just arrived after using multiple teleportation spells, stood on the city gate and asked the soldier commander on the side, "How many soldiers are there here?" ”

The chief thought for a while and said, "After Lord Langa escaped, there were only thirty left, and some of them were all drugged, and there were only a dozen people who could wield weapons. ”

The bishop sighed and said, "O Langa! I have some expectations for you. ”

Then the bishop walked to the gate of the city and said to Karn: "I hope that the commander on the other side can talk to you, perhaps the two countries have not yet reached such a point. ”

Karn stepped forward and stood ten paces away from the Bishop, and said in a reproachful tone, "If it weren't for the fact that you often steal our minerals and send assassins to attack us, we wouldn't have been idle and bored to attack you. ”

The bishop twisted his beard and looked at his surroundings before replying: "I will inform the Church of a thorough investigation of this matter, and I hope that Your Excellency can give us some time, and we must not use troops without permission, which will only make the people of the two countries more sad." ”

After saying that, the bishop directly bent down and bowed, and Karn was a little helpless about it.

Karn then took a few steps forward, and suddenly heard a whooshing sound around him and underground.

Karn thought to himself, "I'd have heard that he is a master of manipulating the Shadow Demon, so I should be cautious!" ”

Karn turned back to the army and said, "I'll give you half a month, and don't blame me for being ruthless if you can't give me the solution I want." ”

Seeing Karn leaving, the bishop also turned to the soldiers and said, "Now I feel that all the people are withdrawn to the rear, and only the soldiers need to be left here to wait for support, and I will go back and report to the church later." ”

After saying that, the bishop directly used his last teleportation skill to come to the town near the Ghost Cry Canyon and from there took the griffin to the city of the giant tower quickly, this time he even used his power to let himself directly ride the fastest griffin directly back to the inner city.

When he returned to the inner city and just pushed open the door, the bishop sat on the ground because he was too tired, and when he saw Ankh, who had just finished changing his clothes, he quickly stood up and pretended to be solemn.

Ankha stepped forward and asked, "You look a little tired. ”

The bishop said, "How is it possible, I was just feeling the call of Mother Earth God. ”

Then the bishop said: "I need to thank you. ”

Ankha tilted her head and asked, "What?" ”

"You have shown me hope that the curse of the Holy Maiden will be cured," said the bishop. ”

Ankh rubbed her head and said, "It's just a mutual benefit, and she also helped me with my headache." ”

After Anka said goodbye, the bishop watched him being carried up by the nuns.

Then the bishop turned to the presiding nun and said, "Look at him." ”

The bishop dug under the table and looked up and asked, "Where's my crystal ball?" ”

The nun said, "You handed it over to the Holy Maiden last time to fix it. ”

The bishop then walked up the stairs, and the nun followed him and said, "The saint is healing the guest, maybe you should be late." ”

The bishop rejected the proposal of the nuns, saying: "This is a big deal. ”

After that, the Bishop broke into the lobby on the top floor, took the crystal ball in front of Ankka and Idle, and turned to leave.

The crystal ball in the bishop's hand suddenly reacted before he walked out, and the bishop projected the faces of six other archbishops into the air after receiving the buzzing crystal ball.

"Why didn't you know about Caldara's attack in advance?"

"Not even one of you could have detected something that far ahead," the bishop retorted, "and I didn't expect Caldara to strike so early as soon as he experienced a regime change. ”

"Maybe you want to establish your prestige in a hurry!"

The bishop nodded in response, "This time it's a young man, probably Karn, who has taken back the throne in legend." ”

Hearing Karn's name, Ankka screamed in shock.

And this sound also attracted the attention of those bishops.

One of them reproached: "How can you start a conversation with us in front of others? ”

The bishop quickly reacted: "It was you who suddenly started the conversation, and I drove out all the others, and these two are a saint and the other is a legendary Destiny Brave, if they are on the side, there is no big problem!" ”

After an hour of prevarication, the Bishops finally decided to leave the City of Towers and the Paladins of the rest of the region to deal with the matter.

Before closing, the bishop said, "I'm going to prepare." ”

Then a bishop asked: "Don't you need to report to the Pope?" ”

The Bishop snorted softly and said, "Who knows what exactly he and the others are doing in the Golden City of Sacred Words, we haven't heard from the Golden City of Divine Words since the last time he passed." ”

At the end of the communication, the bishop turned to the Holy Maiden and said, "Now write down the oracle for the surrounding legions to attack!" ”

The saint nodded, took out the paper from the table and wrote.

Ankka leaned over to the bishop and asked, "May I ask if it was really Karn who attacked the Golden City?" ”

The bishop looked at Ankha and asked, "Do you know?" ”

Ankh nodded.

The bishop then asked, "Will you help us?" ”

Ankh hesitated for a moment and replied, "From my point of view, it was indeed you who were the first to attack and even assassinate the other party, and you also dropped something like a brain-eating worm. ”

The bishop shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, maybe it is the order given by the Golden City of Sacred Word to the assassins, the situation in our country is actually very complicated, even the Holy Maiden does not know the specific situation of other cities. ”

The bishop then asked, "So you want to be a spectator?" ”

Ankh responded: "If he goes too far, I'll help." ”

After receiving the holy message, the bishop turned to leave and turned back and said, "If all the front is lost, you should go and hide in other places, but you must not go to the Golden City of Sacred Words. ”

The saint nodded in response.

Then the saint asked Anka, "Do you want to go for a walk together?" I recently found the key to the basement. ”

Ankka nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Ankka and the Holy Maiden were guarded by the nun and a paladin dressed in ornate ornaments to the front door of the basement.

The two then pushed open the door and entered the basement filled with gold and treasures.

The saint asked, "Is there anything you are looking for?" ”

Ankh searched through countless treasures for a long time, and finally returned to the saint and shook his head.

The saint said, "What a pity! ”

Ankh said, "Looks like I'm going to look elsewhere again." ”

The nun said, "I'm afraid I can't go now." ”

Ankha asked, "Why?" ”

The nun replied: "You are restrained from leaving here because you are coming from Caldara, but you can rest assured that as soon as they withdraw their troops, the restraining order against you will expire immediately." ”

Ankh did not continue to speak and left the basement directly, after which the saint saw him on the balcony on the third floor.

The saint said, "It's okay, this time will pass soon." ”

Ankh nodded and said, "Hopefully! ”

The two of them stood on the balcony and looked into the distance without saying a word.

Suddenly, a cry broke the silence, and Ankka looked back to find that the saint had fainted and fallen to the ground for some reason.

The chief nun, who was guarding the gate in the distance, saw the saint fall to the ground and quickly ran over to check.

The nun then moved the saint to the room on the roof of the building for treatment, while Ankh was confined to the balcony.

After a while, the head nun returned with news.

The nun said, "Let him go if there's nothing to do!" ”

Ankha stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The nun responded: "It seems that the body is a little weakened because of the continuous use of the ability, and it is good to rest for a few days." ”

Ankh was then allowed to meet the resting Virgin.

The Holy Maiden's faint voice came out: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be able to help you with your headache in the next few days." ”

Ankha responded: "Thank you so much, please rest well!" ”

When Ankka turned to leave, the saint suddenly stopped him and said, "Please grant my two wayward requests. ”

Ankha responded, "Please speak. ”

The saint said intermittently, "Can you let your flying dragon accompany me?" She's so cute, I've always wanted to actually touch a dragon. ”

Then the saint whispered, "I'm sorry that I suddenly made such a request. ”

Ankha responded, "I'll consult with her and ask for her opinion. ”

Then the saint said, "One more thing, I want you to go to the slums again, the last time I saw the traces of those people is a bit like the one I saw in the book, I want you to help me get some samples I need to develop a cure for that disease." ”

Ankha listened and agreed.

Then, before leaving, the holy woman said to the paladin, "Bring some men to help him!" ”

Ankha said to Alanhi as she returned to her lodgings, "The Holy Maiden wants you to accompany her. ”

Ellanch responded: "If it's for you, I'm willing." ”

Ankka said, "I want you to be around her and help me with as much information as possible about Sansera." ”

After saying that, Ankka gave a hat to Elanshi and put it on his head and said, "This is what I bought for you when I came back, you can put the dragon crystal in the pocket inside the hat." ”

Ankh then handed over all the magical equipment he had bought to Ellanthi and said, "I heard that the one named Ranga has escaped from the Golden City, so he gave you these things to protect yourself, and if you are in danger, you can use this rune stone to summon yourself to me." ”

After that, Anka sent Elanxi to the saint with her own hands, and the saint slowly stretched out her hand to caress Ellanhi's body and said, "It's soft and cool to touch, so comfortable." ”

Ankha said, "Then she'll leave it to you." ”

Ankh then quickly returned to his lodgings, preparing a full-body covered chain mail hidden underneath him, as well as three throwing knives and a bottle of healing potion.

Ankka slapped her waist pouch and said, "It should be enough." ”

Ankka then went to the slum with the paladins waiting at the door.

Anka looked out of the carriage window and saw that the people of the slum had only three reactions to the arrival of the paladin.

Either they scattered and fled, or they hid in hatred, and some knelt around the paladins in the hope of receiving the blessings of the gods.
