Chapter 634: Red Alert (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The three Lorraine followed the squire as they walked along.

Tonight's Vatino is very different from usual, although under the silent night sky, there is no figure on the road, and the buildings on the side of the road are all black-lit, but under the dark shadow, there is a faint figure standing.

The squire didn't say anything to these guards in the dark, just walked briskly with his head down, and Lorraine didn't ask much.

Passing through a few alleys, soon they went around a small garden and through two hidden small doors. The squire and the heavily armed Templars inside the door nodded, and led Lorraine up two twisting staircases.

I don't know how many times I walked along the way, and Lester complained in a low voice as he walked: "This damn place, like your teachings, is simply designed to fool people. ”

Lorraine smiled secretly, feeling that what this old guy said was not wrong at all, even Lorraine had been dizzy, and he didn't know that he had reached that corner of the city, at least, if he didn't look at the stars in the sky, he wouldn't be able to find the direction.

At that moment, the attendant turned around and said, "Gentlemen, we have arrived." ”

Lorraine looked up and saw that they were standing in a small courtyard, surrounded by silence, and in the middle of the courtyard, there was only a wooden church.

Although it was only in the moonlight, Lorraine could see that the little Holy See was extremely simple, and in order to save labor, even the windows were opened very widely.

This is not at all like the Vatino's elaborate style, according to the style of the bishops, how can they tolerate such an ugly guy standing in the Vatino City, which does not conform to the image of the city at all, and is simply blackening the image of a healthy and civilized city.

Lorraine couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart, these people didn't sleep in the middle of the night, just to come to such a place?

But when Obakhim saw the building, he carefully checked his clothes, wiped the little hair left on the top of his head, and straightened his waist.

And Lester next to him also put away the expression that he didn't wake up just now, with a solemn face, looking like the dean of the magic college.

Lorraine suddenly understood that this was the Hall of the Sages.

After the Patriotic War, one of the priests of the Three Sages, St. Paul, came here and built this humble church in this land that was still a wilderness at the beginning, attracting believers, spreading teachings, and helping the world.

Here, the teachings of the God of Light are spread and carried forward. From scratch, brick by brick, this huge institution is now located in every corner of the continent, laying the foundation of the Vatino City for thousands of years.

He couldn't help but be in awe.

Seeing that humble building, there is a feeling of being struck by the vicissitudes of history that have traveled through time and space for thousands of years.

It was here more than a thousand years ago that a legendary man embarked on a business that seemed impossible at the time.

This feeling is like someone pointing to a corpse and suing you, look, this is Cao Cao, the peerless hero in the Three Kingdoms. A legendary character in the epic. Historical version of the Prince of Arthas.

The glorious history of those golden iron horses and bloody and tragic songs was created by him.

Isn't that exciting?

Of course, if the man pointed to the skeleton of another child next to him and said, "This is Cao Cao's childhood." ”

That's another story.

At this time, Lorraine faced this humble chapel and tidied up her clothes slightly.

The so-called 'ignorant have no fear'.

As long as you understand a little bit of the power it represents, you can't help but be in awe of this building, which is like a small church in the countryside.

In the face of this historical and most famous building, if you are not solemn enough, you will not show how extraordinary you are, but you will be despised as a hillbilly, and you will be scolded for not having any education at all.

Whatever the current depravity may become, it did make the most outstanding contribution to the entire continent in the beginning.

The three of them stepped inside.

This chapel is not like the grandiose and imposing cathedral that was built later, it is not large enough to be seen through at a glance.

Despite its heavy significance, it has remained its original appearance for thousands of years, without fine patterns and superfluous ornamentation.

The interior of the church is not large, only a few rows of benches, and the magic light source is placed in the room, which illuminates the place in detail.

At this time, I saw an old man in a white robe standing under the statue of the Holy Cross at the top of the church, and there were more than a dozen cardinal archbishops next to him.

When they heard the commotion, they turned their heads to look this way.

These people are the most powerful people in the entire Holy See, and every one of them is a manager in the Holy See, but now they all have a stern expression on their faces.

Lorraine saw that their faces were tense one by one, as if they were facing a great enemy, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, what was going on?

Obakhim, who was next to him, was still stunned, and immediately gently pulled him.

The three of them stepped forward. He came to St. Paul's presence and bowed to him slightly.

St. Paul's also nodded and said, "Very good, you are here." Have a seat. ”

Lorraine turned around and saw that Hilmelia was also sitting in the chair behind her.

He also stepped forward and sat down beside her.

Lorraine saw her solemn face, and her expression was still uneasy and worried, and she felt strange at the moment, and wanted to open her mouth to ask her, but then she stretched out a spring onion-like index finger and put it between her lips, and made a silent gesture, pointing to St. Paul in front of her, signaling Lorraine to listen to the Pope.

Lorraine shrugged her shoulders indifferently, and then, taking advantage of everyone's absence, reached out and gently squeezed her plump thighs.

Sylmelia was unprepared, she didn't know what she was thinking about, and she was secretly rubbed with oil by Lorraine, and her delicate body trembled immediately, and she almost screamed. She turned her head and glared at Lorraine viciously, then reached out and slapped Lorraine's paw away, and pinched Lorraine's waist and eye with her hand.

St. Paul's silent observation of the people in the chapel continued, and then two cardinal archbishops hurried in, at which point St. Paul's coughed lightly and said, "Very well, everyone is here." Some people may not know why I called everyone here. Here's the thing......"

He paused for a moment, then took a deep breath before he said softly, "We have received information that the demon clan is very likely to launch an invasion. ”

"What~"

"How is that possible?"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a scoop of cold water poured into the hot oil pot.

Everyone screamed in disbelief as if they had exploded.

There was a strong typhoon blowing in the chapel, and nothing could be heard clearly.

Demon invasion~

Thousands of years ago, the earth-shattering war of defending the saints of ghosts and gods has been sung in the epic of mankind, and there are detailed records in the history books, and almost everyone is familiar with it. People on the mainland grew up listening to stories about the Patriotic War.

The Great Three Sages.

In the morning light, the maple flag fluttering on the top of the maple leaf Danlin Castle. Soaked in gunpowder smoke and fire, but it never falls~

The city is densely packed, with millions of hideous-looking demon soldiers, as well as skeleton warriors with white bones.

A death knight wearing a white bone helmet and galloping on horseback.

Death spells that crisscross the sky.

Under the lead-gray clouds, flying in the sky, a mighty fortress of war. Their figures cast a terrifying shadow of darkness on the land.

In the direction of the enemy, there was only darkness.

And in the darkness, the fire and billowing smoke in the distance can still be faintly seen.

With the eternal wind, you can faintly hear the wails and cries of the people who have not had time to escape......

These have been deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone on the mainland.

While yearning to praise the heroes who led the army to resist the demon and undead armies, and appreciating their great exploits, they are also secretly glad that they are not living in that turbulent and bloody era of terror.

At that time, the entire continent was embroiled in a war that lasted for decades, with daily battles and sacrifices, and tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, of lives were wiped out in a matter of days.

Now, instead of fighting hard and struggling to survive, you can sit in a spacious and bright room and seriously consider national affairs, such as which nightclub to spend at night, or which second and third mother's house to spend the night.

But now, as soon as this news came out, it immediately reminded everyone of the era that was once a heroic spirit. And now, this history will become a reality again.

The era full of war and gunsmoke, the era full of blood, I have to face with my own eyes.

See with your own eyes the millions of demon alliances, see with your own eyes their overwhelming, like the frenzy of the sea, their terrifying spells and powerful war machines, facing their sharp swords and merciless killing.

I have to be in the middle of it, facing that bleak life and dripping blood......

The tip of everyone's nose can even smell the blood and gunpowder smoke rushing to their faces, which cannot but make people feel frightened and frightened.

The sacrifices made in that war were so great that no matter how powerful the warriors and mages were, they could not control their fate at that time, and they would die in an unknown battle on the front line at any time.

For a moment, some people were panicked, some were timid, some were afraid, and some even questioned the Pope almost out of shape.

St. Paul's understanding of these people's feelings was so good that he was not angry at all.

He said calmly: "Just like the demons and the undead have been constantly infiltrating us, they have the Dark Council, there are secret agents of the demons, and our Holy See has also been sending intelligence personnel to the Demon Continent, and it has never been interrupted, we noticed the movement of the demons a long time ago, so we have increased the intensity of investigation."

And this news came at the cost of three of our best informants. They sacrificed their part for the comfort of the whole continent, and may they rest in peace under the blessing of God the Father."

The crowd was silent for a while. It is not only shocked by this definite news, but also a moment of silence for the three unsung heroes.

St. Paul's eyes were blinked, and when he saw Lorraine's stunned expression, he said mockingly: "What? Do you think that our Holy See will spread all over the continent?

It's not for the sake of unification, so that we can make full use of resources to fight against the demon invasion again. ”

Lorraine couldn't help but sweat. It turned out that the whining words he secretly made actually reached the ears of this cheap old man.

But he just grinned and didn't care.

Lord Lorraine has always been a hooligan, and his credo is: when you say good things about others, you must speak loudly. But when you say bad things about others, you must be louder~

If you say it, you won't be afraid, you know.

But at the same time, he also understood: why do many empires have cardinals as prime ministers?

Originally, he thought it was unreasonable. Because of the unity of church and state, it is easy to threaten the safety of the royal power, and as soon as the power of those clergy expands, the king will get rid of them at any time, and then change another one. Just like the eunuchs who manipulated the imperial power, they could do whatever they wanted.

But now it seems. The empires on the continent also had their advantage in doing this - it was also to guard against future invasions and to facilitate unified communication.

After all, the demons and the undead have always been the public enemies of the mainland. Hovering over everyone's heads, lingering clouds.

"It's the Japanese on this continent, and he will jump out and bite you at every opportunity. This is what Lorraine thought after listening to all kinds of rumors, but after meeting Adling, Lorraine's opinion of the demons has changed a little, knowing that they are not one piece, and there are also differences and infighting.

St. Paulo looked at Lorraine and continued, "After Lord St. Paul repelled the demon alliance back then, he was already far-sighted and fully foresaw that this would definitely happen in the future. After all, we have only defeated them, not eliminated them. They could come back at any time.

Therefore, the Three Sages established the Holy See and the Maple Leaf Danlin Academy to unite the strength of the entire continent as much as possible and strengthen the strength of the entire continent in order to fight the demons again in the future.

Later, His Majesty Urban II launched a cross-sea expedition. Take the initiative to attack the territory of the demons, and want to burn the flames of war to the enemy's territory, completely solve the demons, and solve our crisis once and for all.

Although he later failed, he was charged with a charge of incompetence and great joy. However, there are also internal disagreements. The battlefield was too far away from us, the kings were unwilling to give it their all, and the battle line was too long.

Because although that expedition was a loss of troops and heavy losses. But we have to admit that no matter what, we have to do this last time to really know if this method will work. And although it didn't achieve our goal, that war succeeded in weakening the power of the demons, and kept them together for hundreds of years. ”

Lorraine was speechless for a moment.

In the eyes of these politicians, human life is regarded as a mustard, but it is also difficult to evaluate whether this is right or wrong.

At this time, everyone found that no matter how noisy they were here, they couldn't solve the problem, and the discussion gradually subsided. Then they all looked at St. Paul.

Although these people used to cheat and deceive, step on their colleagues, pat their superiors, and coax their subordinates. Tong guò has climbed to their current position by various means, but I have to admit that it is through the competition and fighting of the weak that they have become a qualified politician, but at least they are a qualified politician.

All of them are calm and steady characters.

After the final period of panic, they immediately calmed down. I thought about all kinds of countermeasures, and I was ready, and as soon as I received the order, I began to act.

St. Paul's looked at everyone, smiled at the moment, and said, "Everyone, in fact, the current situation is not so bad, we just received the news. And they have not yet mobilized. What's more, there is a wide ocean between us. Thank you, Father~

All of this gives us plenty of time to prepare. ”

The crowd let out a long sigh of relief.

It turns out that everyone still has plenty of time~ In that case, you must hurry up and enjoy it. The last time I saw the little star, after I went back, I must have an unspoken rule.

The wine that has been hidden for many years does not need to be put in anymore. Be sure to uncork the bottle and drink a few glasses, too.

The last time I saw the BMW carriage, it was embezzled from public funds, and it must be bought......

Anyway, after the chaos came together, there would be no such opportunity in the future. It is not even certain whether he can escape the catastrophe or not, and die in this chaos.

St. Paul's eyes looked at the expressions on everyone's faces, and he couldn't help but smile slightly, and continued: "But now, in the face of a strong enemy, you are still undecided about the choice of the next pope. ”

He looked up at the dome and let out a long sigh, "It's a pity that my time is running out......"

Everyone quickly shook their heads at the moment, and then slapped their ass.

St. Paul's shook his head and said, "I know my own business. You don't need to say more. ”

He paused for a moment and said, "But it's not a matter of procrastination in the selection of candidates. And this time the intelligence gave me an idea. ”

Everyone looked at him with bated breath.

St. Paul's said: "Because of the extremely vague transmission of this precious information.

Time, place, troops, equipment, who are the leading generals, how much food and supplies there are, and how long they can support the war. What are their strategic goals. None of this is clear to us.

So we need someone to go to the demon side to do some reconnaissance and find out their movements.

Of course, if you can incite them to civil strife - by the way, because there is information that between the demons, between the demons and the undead, is not monolithic. After they were expelled from the mainland, there was no shortage of infighting with each other there. ”

He paused for a moment, then continued, "So it would be better if we could disrupt their attack and defuse this crisis." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It turns out that we don't have anything to do~ This time I can rest assured.

While thinking, everyone turned their eyes to Patrick and Silleria, and more people passed past Schillelia and directly set their eyes on Lorraine with full expectation.

These ruffians just didn't say directly: "Young man, you understand both military affairs and economics, and you are still young, go ahead~."

The Prince of Alsace is calling you.

In order for us to live well, you can send us to death. We support you spiritually. ”

After St. Paul's introduction, he looked at Patrick and Lorraine and said, "That's the case. What I mean is that each of you sends someone to the demon clan to see who has done better, and then who will succeed the next pope. What do you think?"

Patrick tensed his body and thought about it for a moment, if he retreated at this important juncture, he would naturally have no hope of succession. At that moment, he said dryly: "I don't have a problem. I have several good knights under my command who should be up to the job. ”

St. Paulo nodded, and went straight past Hilmelia to look at Lorraine. In his opinion, this matter is also none other than Lorraine.

Lorraine was about to answer, but then she felt a tightness in her right hand.

He turned his head to see that Hilmelia's face was pale, and she clutched her hand tightly, and then shook her head lightly imperceptibly. Clearly, she would rather give up the pope than risk it.

Lorraine sighed lightly, and then said in a low voice: "If there is a real war, you can't expect me to fight the enemy with a black eye, right?"

He paused, then squeezed his eyes, and said, "Besides, we have people over there." ”

Sylmeria froze.

Lorraine raised his head, looked at St. Paul, and sighed, "We don't need to send someone else on our side." I'll go anyway~"

When everyone heard this expected answer, they let out a soft sigh. This lord is really worthy of his reputation as the god of war of the Flying Eagle, and he is indeed heroic.

Now that the economy is in a recession, there are more and more people who are afraid of death, and there are fewer and fewer people like this who lack heart.

Seeing that both sides agreed, St. Paul's decision was to adjourn.

The cardinals got up and walked out of the church in twos and threes, whispering the astonishing news.

St. Paul's Doro, however, let Lorraine and Patrick stay for a while.

He turned to Patrick and asked, "When will your men be dispatched?" ”

Patrick hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll tell them when I get back now, but it will take a little time." ”

St. Paul's nodded and said, "Very good, in that case, you can go back and prepare now." When the others are here, let them come here. ”

Patrick agreed, then gave Lorraine a thoughtful look, bowed to St. Paul, turned and walked out.

When St. Paul's saw him walk out of the gate, he asked Lorraine, "What about you?"

Lorraine smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, the sooner the better. If I could, I'd do it now. ”
