Chapter 70: A Conclave Meeting between the Rebels and the Order
In the ruins, Casadra and Germain and the others had put away their tense attitudes, and they sat down to exchange necessary information with each other.
"I see, you've lost all the way. Hmph, it's not an unpredictable result, after all, that Leah is ......"
"Oh?
"Well, that's not something you need to know. â
"Oh, don't you trust me? â
LÊa, dressed as a maid, spread the blanket on the floor, and Kuta laid out a small picnic basket on top of it, which was supposed to be lunch for several people, but now it was just used as a snack for conversation.
"I won't trust you so easily, but one thing I'm sure of is that there is an absolute power gap between you and the so-called royalists, and that's the crux of the matter. â
Casadra picked up a sandwich, sniffed it cautiously like a small animal, and took a reassuring bite to make sure that nothing strange had anything in it. In order to get rid of the pursuers of Mage City, neither she nor Tereddy had eaten much during this time.
"Oh, so is there anything you can do? Like -- the creatures called the Chimera. â
Germain asked.
"It doesn't make sense, Nirfi in the hands of Leah Fareen is the Chimera's sworn enemy. â
As if believing that there was no need to keep the enemy's information secret, Kashadra simply told Germain about Nilfi.
"I see, the artifact that controls the space...... It seems that Arman has lost unjustly. â
"By the way, even if Nilfi isn't in the way, the Chimera can't lend it to you. There are also difficulties here. â
Casadra shook her head.
"Don't you want to talk about that difficulty?"
Germain asked.
"What if you say that? even if you add up all the Randall traitors. Nor is it an opponent of the Great Sage. â
Kasadra shook her head disdainfully.
"I see, is it Hanufain who is chasing you?"
"That's right. How's that, do you regret having anything to do with us?"
Seeing Germain's embarrassed expression, Casadra laughed maliciously. No one with a normal brain will be hostile to the Great Sage, she just wants to see the other party troubled, and once she is rejected, she will kill them immediately.
"Well, it's quite troublesome, but it's not that there is no solution.
No, seriously. That's where I can help. â
However, the other party looked up and said a reply she had not expected.
"Are you serious? That's the Great Sage!"
"Holy Church of Salman. â
"Huh?"
"I mean, if you're going to hide from the Great Sage, the Holy Sect Congress is a good place, it's a forbidden place for mages, even the Great Sage can't openly hunt you down in such a big country without a suitable reason, right?"
This is a very reliable reason, indeed, even a great sage can't casually run to the Holy Sect to arrest people, however......
"Are you kidding me? The Holy Church doesn't welcome mages, but it doesn't welcome me either!You don't think that everyone can come and go in that country!?"
Kasadra asked, glaring at Germain. The Holy Church is notoriously xenophobic, and in all seriousness, mages are just one part of it. Anyone or race who does not embrace Orthodoxy is excluded from the country.
"Luckily, there is a man here who can come and go in and out of the Holy Cult Country. â
Jermain smiled and pointed to himself.
"Ah...... That's right. You are the king...... appointed by the pope"
Realizing that she had made a goofy mistake, Casadra blushed.
"How. That's a good idea, isn't it?"
Germain held out his hand.
"I ...... Can I trust you?"
Instead of holding the hand, Casadra asked vigilantly like a small animal. Although the conditions given by the other party made her unable to refuse. But deep down there was still a voice in his heart that told him that he couldn't trust the man in front of him.
"Huh? Are you a fool? Of course you can't trust it. â
"Huh!?"
Unexpectedly. The other party did not choose to numb her vigilance, but asked exaggeratedly.
"What's that look of surprise? Even if I told you - because I'm a paladin, a squire of the goddess of light, and therefore someone you can trust, you'll trust me?"
Germain tilted his head playfully.
"When...... Of course not!, do you think I'm a fool!?"
The girl suddenly exploded.
"Well, that's it. But we can work together, you need a safe shelter, and I need your strength, you see, at least until you lose your power, I have no reason to betray you, do I?"
Jermain smiled. The other party is very vigilant, and instead of pretending to be a good person, it is better to convince her by analyzing each other's interests.
"Hmph! But remember, if you dare to make any small moves, I can kill you at any time!"
Casadra hesitated, but finally took Germain's outstretched hand.
"Well, that's it. â
Jermain nodded with satisfaction, and then said:
"So, we can shelter you, is it your turn to show some sincerity?"
"It's okay, it's not my style to just take it.
Embrace Chaos, Ankaty!"
The wings of chaos stretched out, and a storm rolled up within the ruins.
"It's ......"
Germain's eyes widened, this was the first time he had come into direct contact with the power of those gods.
"Hmph, how's it going, it's amazing, isn't it?"
As if pleased with the other party's reaction, Casadra clasped her hands to her chest with a triumphant look.
"But this time I can't go directly to the war, damn Hanufain, if it weren't for her, I would have been able to kill that woman a long time ago. â
From Germain's words, she knew that she had missed the best opportunity, from the time after the rain to the Holy Cult's attack on the Iron Wing Castle, this period of time was simply the golden period to kill little Lori, but she was exhausted and took care of herself.
"But that's okay, according to you, the man named Arman Britt is still there, right?"
She calmed her head, then asked.
"Ah, but it's almost completely decadent, and at the moment the man has shut himself up in his room, chattering about 'family' and 'glory' every day, and I don't think he can help him with the loss of the Knights. â
Germain shook his head.
"Great power, terrible obsession, if it were him, maybe it would work. â
However, Casadra ignored Germain and thought with her index finger against her chin.
"What works?"
"Now, do you know the taboos on this continent?"
She asked rhetorically.
"Betraying the Goddess and destroying souls?"
Germain replied.
"Well, but on top of that, there is a third taboo, and that is - embrace Chaos!"
She pulled a feather from Ankati's wing, an ominous thing that symbolized the reversal of order, exuding an indescribable color, and she held it between her fingers and said triumphantly. (To be continued......)
