Chapter 68: The Dark Guard
"Edward, how many guards do you have?" Masturbation asked.
"What does His Highness the Sage mean?" Edward frowned when he heard this, is this guy trying to threaten himself?
"I don't mean anything else, you know what Hilton is like right now." "The Witch of the Forest has begun a clean-up plan, and many heretics have infiltrated it to assassinate nobles, and several territories near the Great Wasteland have died in one night, and many knights have died overnight, and Weidi is afraid to go out." ”
"Oh, that's terrible." Edward sat down and covered his forehead with his hand and said, "I know all this, the earl has written to me to strictly prevent suspicious people from entering the town, and they have already sent bounty hunters to deal with it, these damn guys, I hid in the countryside because of the Black Death, do I want to hide somewhere else because of them!" ”
He didn't speak, he looked at the maid behind Edward, the maid understood, she bent down and reminded Edward, "There is His Royal Highness the Sage to protect the town, Edward, you don't have to be so anxious." ”
"Will the Witch of the Forest listen to you?" Edward raised his head when he heard this, and then he himself laughed, "Those remnants of the destruction of unknown centuries want to restore the country, and this belief cannot be persuaded even if God comes." ”
"But we have a lot of dark nobles here, and it's more than enough to defend a town as small as Blackcurrant." "Don't forget that there is also a bear and a blood-colored nun here, and they can't deal with heresy without more than a thousand heresies." ”
"So we're all safer here than Hilton City." Edward was in high spirits for a while when he heard this, and he no longer mentioned anything about harboring trouble, "I used to just like mysteries, but I didn't expect to be protected by wizards one day, I seem to have faith." ”
"So don't worry, Edward, there are still several territories separated from the Great Wasteland, and if the bounty hunters can't deal with it, the Earl will also send troops." The maid said.
"The Earl sent troops? Eventually, he will have to resist, even if it is symbolic... Isn't that why I'm going to take people into battle too?" Edward, who was in a good mood, shrugged down when he heard this.
"I can go in place of the Baron." Cabriel, who was kneeling behind, said.
"Get up." Edward shook his hand when he heard this, "You still have a child in your belly, no matter how afraid of death I am, I can't let a woman who is pregnant with my child play." ”
"If you go on the expedition, I'll go with you to have a look." Teaser said.
"Let's see." Edward shook his head, "Once those forest witches advance as a whole, the entire kingdom may not be able to stop it, not to mention that he is an earl of Hilton, it stands to reason that with you wizards, I will not be able to keep the territory by plunging into the darkness, but the family of the royal city will definitely be liquidated, alas! I'm so hard! ”
Unable to persuade a tangled man, he left the manor and returned to the church, where he saw a group of apprentices huddled together, while on the other side there was a large vacant space, and the blood-colored nun who had changed into a dark nun dress was cleaning the church.
"Teacher." Ryan saw Shaw come in, got up and said to him, "A passing bounty hunter said that the Witches of the Forest not only assassinated nobles, but also the common people, and that they deserve your protection as listeners of your teachings. ”
"What do you think?" He asked, no matter how powerful a person is, he can't do a doppelganger, so it's impossible for him to kill another wave of heretics.
"I asked the bounty hunters to tell the inhabitants of the various realms to write some slogans telling the forest witches that this is the place of indoctrination of the Sage, and that the innocent must not be harmed, otherwise it will provoke the wrath of the Sage." Ryan replied earnestly.
"Hang a sign at the entrance of the village that says "Holy Protector?" Before he could speak, the alchemist in the apprenticeship pile said, "The kind of brand you said won't work at all, you take it for granted!" If you were sent to tell them this, your corpse would be enough to be sent back, and it would not be an ordinary person who could gather tens of thousands of heretics to rule the barbarians and savages. ”
"Indeed, behind the forest witch is the surviving archduchess of the Dark Kingdom, who has outperformed her dead uncle by many times in the magic of confusion, that is the only existence in the world that is comparable to Anechis XIV, both mentally and powerful, is much higher than you, such a person, would care about the advice of a wizard who is a dog for nobles? This kind of attachment is not expected by orthodox wizards in the first place. ”
The scarlet nun who swept the floor was raised by what they said, and stopped to interject, but when she finished speaking, the whole church felt silent, and all the wizard apprentices looked at her, including Jerry.
"Did I say something wrong? I have been through the Witch's Forest alone...", the nun said and saw that everyone was still looking at her in unison, and she couldn't help but close her mouth and pick up the barrel and walked outside, and before she went out, she muttered, "I'm not wrong, he will have some small things that can't be put on the table." ”
The nun was gone, and the church was bustling again, with a lot of discussion about the poor people and whether His Highness the Holy One's fame was working.
"If you want me to say that he is still a little famous, he broke into the Hilton Cathedral and rescued all the heretics in the North!"
"It's useless, the rescued people have been arrested again, and whoever is okay will go out and say that he capsized and let someone else save him, if it were you, would you? I won't. ”
"That can't fake killing at least eight Templars!"
"It's small, isn't it? There are tens of thousands of forest witches, and you tell people eight things?"
"Ryan, go back and make sure everything is ready." He commanded.
"Please rest assured, I won't let chaos happen in your parish!" Ryan saluted and then turned to leave the church.
Ryan was gone, looked at the noisy church, knocked on the table and shouted, "Everyone be quiet, let's not talk about the outside beforehand, let's arrange for the Blackcurrant guard to stand guard." ”
At night, with the crowing of chickens and dogs in the town of Blackcurrant, a green light came from the road in the distance.
It was a wizard who had crossed several villages and battled the bounty hunters, and the green lantern he carried was the breath of the devil, and double digits of commoners and nobles had died under the green light.
The town in front of him was a little broken, but as the only wizard to penetrate the defenses of the guards and bounty hunters, he had to do something about it in order to add a legend to his status.
The sorcerer, who was carrying a lantern, walked slowly to the entrance of the town, and suddenly, he saw ten magical flames lit up under the mouth of the town, illuminating the people who had been waiting for a long time.
