67 Hot Air Balloon (Medium)

After Ankka and Sodeyith came to the northern plains, Ankka looked at the cattle and sheep roaming the grassland and asked, "Do you want to use these?" ”

Sodeith shook his head and said, "These are just bait. ”

"Bait?"

"Yes, I need a hard and tough material like a flying dragon bone, just wait a while, I found the faded dragon scales nearby, there should be a wandering dragon nearby."

After that, the two sat together on the grass and waited for the dragon to arrive.

Sodeis suddenly asked, "Mr. Anka, why are you so strong, why do you obey the words of the Holy Maiden?" ”

Ankh scratched her head and said, "I just think she wants to save people, so I'll go and help her." ”

Sodeith laughed out loud when he saw that Anka couldn't say anything else.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just think you've been deceived by the saint too."

"What do you mean?"

"She's a powerful mage, she's so perfect in every way that she can be called an all-around genius, and maybe all of us haven't seen what she's really like under her mask."

"You're saying she's no different from those rulers?"

"Yes, it's just that she may be better at disguising her ambitions with her saintly identity and gentle disposition."

Ankh pondered for a moment and said, "Why do you say that? ”

"When did she begin to rule Santa Seca?"

"It should be after the news of the death of the bishop and the fall of the Golden City of the Holy Word!"

"No, she began to influence a series of decisions three years ago after mastering the Paladin, and it was then that she was ready to establish a new ruling body in the City of the Towers."

"How do you know?"

"When I first arrived in the city of the tower, I collected information from the newspaper in my spare time, and I found from some of the above details that the appearance rate of the saint is gradually increasing, maybe this should be regarded as the propaganda of the church, but I found that the deeds of the saint appeared at most in the people's livelihood and diplomacy rather than the church's special newspaper, and I found that after that, the ordinary soldiers around the saint disappeared completely, and all were replaced by paladins, However, in the past, the Holy Maiden was not allowed by the Church to have an army under direct management, but the Holy Maiden broke this rule, and even set up camps and fortresses in various places to increase the number of paladins. ”

Ankh was silent for a while and said, "You mean that the Holy Maiden has been building up her military strength since three years ago?" So how did she manage to get those paladins to be loyal to her? ”

"Actually, many paladins are not very loyal, but I found that only all the members of the Holy Wrath organization are completely at the mercy of all the orders of the Holy Maiden, and I think it is the magical talent of the Holy Maiden herself."

"The wrath of the saint? Why is the name of Santa Seca's military organization so complicated and fancy! And what are you talking about magical talent? ”

"Wrath of the Holy Maiden is a very secretive organization that directly obeys the Holy Maiden, they are usually only found in the propaganda newspapers, but when I was collecting medicine in the field, I looked out on a hill and saw them carrying out orders, they were all equipped with rare enchanted equipment, and they were all powerful mages and powerful warriors of all kinds of skills, they were hunting a huge out-of-control subhuman, the kind of monster that usually took a dozen people to subdue, and they only had three people to complete the crusade against it."

"As for the talent for magic! Once, when the Holy Maiden came to the academy to teach rare knowledge, I found that the noble heirs were very rampant and debauched at first, but after communicating with the Holy Maiden, they suddenly became fanatical believers in the Holy Maiden herself, so I thought that she should be able to make others completely loyal to her through her magical talents. ”

Anka thought for a moment and said, "But I think she's a good person, she heals me when I have a headache, and she's going to save the slum people, and I don't think I'm going to oppose her if she was good to the civilians even if she was doing everything to her." ”

"But she didn't completely abolish slavery, and even if she openly claimed that there was a pilot, we don't know the specifics, do we?"

Ankka listened to it and recalled what had happened when he had been a slave in Santa Seca and was whipped with a whip by the overseer and despised by the paladins who were watching, and Anka's sad voice came.

"I'll go there and see, maybe what she said is true, maybe she's really completely freed the slaves."

"And what are you going to do if it's not true?"

"Then I will take the magic sword and personally free the slaves."

"But where are they going after freedom? There were at least a million Cades slaves in Santa Secca itself, and what would happen to them after they were liberated? ”

"Isn't it going back to Cades?"

"But the war there has not ended, and a series of facilities have not been built, and there is not even a unified government."

Ankh said in frustration, "It seems that I have nothing but the magic sword, and I can't completely liberate them." ”

"No, as long as you and I return to Cardus, with everything I've learned in Santa Seca and your strength, we can definitely make Cardus stand again."

Ankh smiled wryly and asked, "Why do all of you want to control my power to accomplish your goals?" ”

"Mr. Anka, I just wish we could save our fellow citizens together."

Ankka was silent for a moment and then said, "Now that the demons are all over the place, I will go to Kades to deal with the demons when I solve the initiators of the Golden City of the Holy Word." ”

Sodeis sighed and said, "I hope that day is not too late. ”

Ankh covered her head and said, "I'm sorry that as a Caddes, I don't have any extra feelings for Cades, am I bad?" ”

"That's normal, after all, you shouldn't have lived in Caddes long before being sold to San Seca!"

Ankh nodded and said, "I've been sold for as long as I can remember, after serving the nobles. ”

After that, Ankka sighed and said, "One day I will use my strength to make this world free of slaves." ”

Afterwards, Sodeis asked, "Can Mr. Anka give some speech of encouragement to his fellow Kades when he arrives at the border?" ”

"I'm not too good at it, but I'll try."

Suddenly, with a dragon roar, a red adult dragon swooped down and fell to the ground.

Sodeyith looked at the red dragon with black gas coming out of the wound and shouted, "What's the matter? ”

The two then stepped forward to check and found that there were a large number of black gas scratches on the red dragon's body, and the flying dragon struggled for a while before losing his breath, and the two looked up together to find that there was nothing abnormal.

"This wyvern can't have fallen to the ground after being attacked during the flight and trying to escape back to its lair but not holding on! ”

"Look at the size of this scratch, the monster that attacked him must be not small."

"Mr. Anka, let's bring it back to camp first!"

The two then tied the dragon to a cart pulled by five oxen and returned to the camp together.
