Within a long time, the people of the village learned that Father Ryan and the knight Gareth had been kicked out of the tavern by Magina.

After all, dozens of adventurers, as witnesses, saw Father Ryan and Knight Gareth walking out of the "Markina Tavern" with a large baggage, and then carrying their luggage in the direction of the church on horseback.

After that, the two did not see each other again for the whole day, let alone go back to the tavern.

Contacting the scene witnessed by the villagers at the entrance of the village, they still didn't know that Magina had fallen out with the priest.

For a moment, the red-eyed Magina villagers began to move.

Even the village girl who worked as a waitress in the tavern began to be angry.

Not to mention the adventurers in the tavern, they all speak presumptuously.

However, they didn't know if Father Lane had really broken off their friendship with Magina, so they were just presumptuously tempting it, and it wasn't too much.

After all, they don't want to be reckoned with.

At night, in the church office, four benches carried from between prayers were simply put together into two beds.

The originally small office was crowded.

The desk in the office had been moved to the reception room by Nock.

The reason why the two of them chose to squeeze into the office was because the reception room and confessional room would continue to be used.

With the house and tavern as compensation for Magina, and even giving up the tavern dividends, the two had little money left.

Especially today when Nock squandered fifty gold coins, leaving them with only a few gold coins left in their cash.

This is still the reward left by Nock and Leo for their adventurous missions.

As for their other assets, they've been investing in the Magina's Tavern and the newly opened Adventurers' Guild property for the past two years.

The dividends were on the books of the tavern, and Nock and Leo never withdrew them.

Because the two never thought that they would fall out with Magina.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that woman to be like that." Leo roasted the mountain finches he had hunted from the back mountains and apologized to Nock.

Nock also roasted a mountain finch and replied, "If you say anything stupid, I should apologize." I'm too headstrong. If you can't bear her, we can go back, and I'll apologize to her. ”

"No need! It's just one woman, and we take what we need. Besides, we compensated her enough, and she didn't suffer at all. ”

"Uh, Leo. That's not how emotional things matter. ”

"Sorry, there's no emotion in this. I only have a physical need for her. ”

"Uh......" Nock was embarrassed by Leo's words and didn't know how to take it.

"How much money do we have left?" Leo flipped through the roast finch in his hand and asked casually.

Nock smiled bitterly, "There are less than three gold coins. It's all my fault for spending money indiscriminately today. ”

"It's not a mess, it's a parting gift for that girl."

"Hehe, are you really willing?"

"I can't bear it, that girl doesn't like me."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Leo with a heart of stone."

"When are we leaving?"

"You guessed my decision again?"

"If you don't decide to leave, you won't move out of the tavern at all."

"Well, I'm guessing. However, we will stay for a while. First, we have no money, and second, winter is coming, the Seine is about to freeze, and if we want to leave, we can only take the land route. When winter comes, heavy snow will close the road, but it will not be easy to do. ”

Nock's words made Leo silent for a while, and then he burst out: "You are worried about their mother and daughter, so you didn't choose to leave immediately!" ”

Nock jerked his head up, his eyes wide.

Leo laughed, "You're really guessing. You're worried that Helen will rise after she gives birth, and if we leave, she will say that Anos will retaliate, and Makina mother and daughter will bear the brunt. ”

Nock sneered, "It's so obvious! Besides, I didn't say anything about Helen and Fred. ”

"You didn't say it, but Anos said it himself drunk."

"Fack!"

"Actually, I think it's better to worry about the villagers than about Helen. You've left Magina too much. Her kind of character can't keep this wealth. ”

"With Ron, the town can accommodate the villagers."

"But if he knew that his father and brother were calculated to be killed by you, do you think he would be angry with them?"

"This ...... No, everyone in the know has already ...... except me."

"There's one more."

Leo interrupted Nock.

"What?" Nock looked at Leo suspiciously.

Leo affirmed, "There's one more insider alive." ”

"Who?"

"Viscountess."

"He's under house arrest by Fred, so he shouldn't be able to make a fuss, right?"

"Nock, you underestimate the means of the nobility, let alone a noble woman!"

Leo continued, somewhat didactic, "She can get three men to betray Anos for her, and there must be a way for more people to betray Anos."

It's not even a betrayal at all, just bribe a subordinate and help her tell her about your calculations against them. Neither Ron nor Arnos will let you go. So, don't underestimate women! Nork. ”

Nock was stunned, and forgot to rummage through the mountain finch in his hand.

Fortunately, Leo hurriedly took over, and this saved Nock's dinner.

"It turns out that we are left with so much trouble? So what should we do, we can't just walk away, right? ”

"Why not?" Leo looked at Nock strangely and said, "We are not related to the people here, we are just using each other. Didn't you hear the group gloating when they saw us leave the tavern? ”

"Leo, don't be so cold-blooded, there is a woman you slept with for two years."

"Hehe, I paid."

"I'm Fak, you're a circle, can you not be so ruthless."

"As I said, my life of Leo Gareth belongs to you from now on, and no one can take it. Neither can women. ”

Leo's attitude made Nock both moved and helpless.

"But I don't want anything to happen to Jasmine."

"Then you take her away."

"I said, can you not say such heartless words so calmly. I'm already feeling the winter temperature in advance! ”

Seeing that Nock was a little angry, Leo shut up. Hand one to Nock and pick one up and nibble on it.

Nock took the sparrow, tore off half of it, and returned the other half to Leo.

A mountain finch is about the size of a duck, and half of it is about two catties, which is enough for Nock to eat.

The two ate dinner silently and never spoke again.

In this way, Nock and Leo live in the church.

Aside from Leo's occasional horseback ride down the mountain, where he went on quests to earn money and buy food, the villagers never saw Nok again.

If it weren't for the occasional information about Father Lane from the nobles who went to church and some of the faithful, they would have thought that Father Lane had had an accident or had left.

In this way, Nock and Leo's life is regular and ordinary.

On the contrary, Magina's tavern has experienced several twists and turns.

First Markina got into an argument with the waitress, and then fired the village waitress. Two women from the city were invited to work as waitresses.

The two waiters were wide and fat, with a strong build, and were two professionals who were injured and retired.

Although Magina spent a lot of money to invite the two of them, she successfully frightened the villagers who were about to move, and even some low-level adventurers did not dare to be presumptuous.

The annual salary of the two waiters is settled in gold coins, which is actually not too expensive. The main thing is to eat and live.

The arrival of these two made the villagers who were planning to take the opportunity to make trouble and ask for benefits, and turned to the village chief Ron to protest.

Unexpectedly, Ron stood firmly on Magina's side and did not let the villagers succeed.

Later, on the day of Divine Grace, a villager finally let go of all her thoughts after seeing Makina's daughter Jasmine wearing a strange dress to church and bringing back a lot of gifts.

Obviously, things are not what they think. Father Lane did not break off relations with Marquina's mother and daughter.

It is likely that it is only Magina and Gareth who are at odds.

After all, Gareth frequented the village, but never stopped at the tavern.

Even though Magina knew that Gareth was passing by the tavern, she didn't go out to meet Gareth.

The villagers thought they had guessed the truth, so they extinguished their hearts for bullying orphans and widows.

Anos had also heard the news come to visit, but was simply dismissed by Leo.

Anos himself was in trouble, and his wife was about to give birth, so at this time, he couldn't leave for too long, so as not to cause trouble.

After learning that Leo and Ryan were fine, Anos returned to the castle disappointed, unaware that someone had secretly delivered a letter while he was away that day.

The person who delivered the letter was still the tax collector he trusted.

The tax collector entered the Seine, gave the letter to the owner of a shop, and left.

Soon after, the letter traveled south along the frozen banks of the Seine with a merchant ship, entered the domain of a nobleman, and was placed on the lord's table.

The surname of this lord's family is: Lyman.

After reading the letter, Mr. Lehmann wrote two letters in the same way, sending a knight with two good horses and luggage, and disappeared into the snowstorm.

All this is going on quietly.

The spring of 1520 came.

As soon as she arrived, a newborn baby arrived in the village of Tarn.

The village chief's house made a fuss all night, and finally gave birth to the child.

Sadly, the child's mother died due to a childbirth collapse.

The mother's parents couldn't stand the blow and passed away one after another.

The child was adopted by Chief Ron Village.

This happened very abruptly and incomprehensibly.

After all, in the church of Tarn, there lived a priest who was more powerful than most of the priests in Seine.

Father Ryan, who has the magic of rebirth of severed limbs, is just a bloody collapse, and it shouldn't be difficult for that priest.

But it is strange that the woman died so suddenly.

However, it was just the death of a rural mother, and no one paid attention to it at all, except for the villagers of Tarn Village.

Except for their lords.

"Good death! A also wants to blackmail the Viscount! It seems that this guy named Ron is quite knowledgeable, and he is very sharp. ”

"Then, it's time to do something to that woman!"

The viscount looked at the tower where his wife was under house arrest.

Fastia was supposed to have given birth a month ago, but she didn't expect that she hadn't given birth yet.

However, she almost couldn't listen anymore.

According to the maid who took care of her, Fastia was getting weaker and weaker, and it was likely that she would not even be able to give birth, and she would die in the process of giving birth.

In that case, Anos thought, it would be great! lest he have to waste his hands and feet dealing with the woman and her child.

However, what Anos didn't know was that at this time, a knight entered the city of Seine with two letters and went straight to the city lord's earl's palace.

At the same time, a snow-white bipedal dragon landed in the parish of the city of Seine.

Robert Noyce, who had been waiting for an eventful time for a long time, and all the clergy of the regional church above the priest level, came forward to meet the visitor.

"Welcome to the arrival of the Holy Envoy, it is windy here, it is better to go to the inner sanctum for a while. We have prepared wine and hot soup, as well as a little tasty food, for the Holy Messenger to ward off the cold. ”

The man who jumped from the wyvern was wearing a white cloak, and the cloak mountain was indeed white with snow.

"Well, I'm tired."

A cold voice rang out, and someone lifted the cloak that covered his face.

A snow-white hair scattered like a waterfall in everyone's eyes, and it fell on the shoulders of the visitor.

On a delicate face, a hideous scar destroys the beauty of the whole face, so that those who witness this face can't help but feel a secret pity in their hearts.

There was a hint of indifference in his golden eyes.

It's a pity that this is a man.

Although he is very good-looking, no one will mistake him for a woman.

Because, he is too heroic.

Standing there, he was a cut above everyone present.

According to preliminary estimates, the person is at least two meters tall.

Led by Bishop Robert Noyce, the crowd entered a large hall already filled with fine dishes and utensils.

The dishes are made of fine Oriental ceramics, and the cutlery is made of sterling silver knives, forks and spoons.

"Holy Envoy, is it time to serve the food?" Bishop Noyce cautiously greeted the guests seated on the throne.

The man nodded and said, "Come on, hurry up." I was indeed hungry. After dinner, we'll get down to business. By the way, my name is Sost William, you can call me Sost, or William, the Holy Envoy or something, I'm not used to hearing it. ”

"Yes, Lord William. It's the subordinates who are abrupt. Noyce smiled cautiously, turned his head and shouted out the door:

"Come on, serve the food, hurry up! Main course first! Didn't you hear that the adults were hungry! ”

As for Noyce's conceitful performance, the clergy who accompanied him felt uncomfortable, but they did not find it ridiculous.

For the messenger sitting on it is a messenger from the Holy Church headquarters in the south, the Holy Court of Rome.

And a member of the "Silver Wings" Knights!

Although the "Silver Wings" are known as the Knights, they are no ordinary Knights.

Because their mounts are all wyverns! A two-legged wyvern with an all-white body.

It is said that these flying dragons are all descendants of the sacred dragon of the Holy Court, which is why they are all silver and white, and look like snow.

But unlike the Frost Dragons of the Far North, these Wyverns are light, not ice.

It is said that there is also a snow-white flying dragon in the Northland, but it is of the ice nature.

If the two dragons meet in winter, it is estimated that it will be difficult for outsiders to tell which of the two dragons they belong to.

It is said that there are not many members of the "Silver Wings" Knights, and when they are full, there are only thirty.

However, it is said that there are less than ten members of the "Silver Wings" in the church.

But even so, every "Silver Wing" Flying Dragon Knight is a strategic-level combat power.

Because, each of them is said to be the existence of the pinnacle of the gold level, plus the mount, it is not difficult to challenge the holy level.

Not to mention that there are rumors that in fact, the members of the "Silver Wings" are all existences above the saint level, and if they can't reach the holy level, they are not qualified to become a member of the "Silver Wings" at all.

It's just that this rumor is too exaggerated, and not many people on the mainland believe it.

After all, there is no saint-level combat power in ordinary kingdoms.

Only within the territory of the powerful empire are there some retired saint-level figures.

Of course, this is not absolute.

In case a certain principality is the hometown of a certain saint, it makes sense for people to live in seclusion in their hometown.

All in all, the holy level is the peak combat power of the continent, and the divine dragon sees the beginning but not the end.

On the bright side, there are no more than twenty known saint levels in the entire continent, and if there are nearly ten saint ranks in a subordinate cavalry regiment of the Holy Church, then how many holy ranks are they still hiding in secret?

You know, the previous popes who retired may not have died.

Therefore, people would rather believe that the news is false than believe in the power of the Holy Church.

But this did not prevent the clergy present from revering and worshipping the man on the throne.

Because, this man is the protagonist who went to the Lionheart Kingdom two years ago, overwhelmed the entire Lionheart Kingdom, and forced the entire continent to change the professional pattern!

A real member of the Saint-level "Silver Wings"!

How this makes them not in awe.

Does this mean that the declining church is still there?

The rumor that the members of the "Silver Wings" are all saint-level is likely to be true!

Carefully accompanied by everyone, after a full meal, Soster William did not change places, and directly talked about his intention at the table.

Soster William opened his mouth with a serious expression and asked, "Which one is Theo Bruce?" ”

"It's down there." Father Bruce stood up and bowed slightly.

"Very well, the Pope is pleased with your performance. At the same time, I also agreed to your request, as long as the disciple meets the minimum requirements, you can take him back to the Holy Court for the succession trial. ”

"You deserve it, though. The Pope said that the reward that should be given to you will not be less, let you think about what reward you need, and tell me later, I can help you convey it, and you can bring the disciples back to the trial in the future. Whatever you want. ”

"However, I still have to say more, is the news you reported accurate? The Pope does not doubt your information, but I am skeptical. You know, our Knights have been secretly searching for many years, but we haven't found any clues. But you gave the news with great certainty, and I have to be suspicious. ”

Thorst William and Father Bruce had a dumb riddle, which made the people, including Bishop Noyce, very unhappy, but they did not dare to show it on their faces.

"My lord, the news was told to me by my disciple. From his description, I'm pretty sure it's that thing. That person is probably the person we are looking for. It's just that he is now living in seclusion in the countryside and doesn't seem to want to be born. ”

When Soster William heard this, he suddenly became a little serious.

"Then it's up to him. If he really is the owner of that thing's generation. I'm going to tie him back even if I do. But if not, I'll kill him and bring things back. ”

Hearing Sost's words, Father Bruce couldn't help but object: "My lord, this is not appropriate! Even if there is a misunderstanding in it, he is our person, there is no need to ......"

"Huh? Are you teaching me to do things? Sost interrupted Father Bruce with a single look.

"The subordinates don't dare!" Father Bruce bowed his head in aptitude.

Although he was only one level away from Sost, it was like a chasm, and he couldn't afford to resist.

He hated himself, if he hadn't given up that position and didn't run away, he might not have to be so aggrieved, maybe the one who was forced to bow his head today was Sost on the main seat.

The others were still confused, but it was clear that this was not something they could mix.

I didn't see the scene was a little tense!

Obviously, Father Bruce overstepped the level to report something, which attracted the Holy Messenger.

It's just that the Holy Envoy's attitude towards solving the matter exceeded Father Bruce's expectations, and the two got into an argument, and Father Bruce was forced to bow his head.

Bishop Noyce hated Father Bruce for reporting the matter without telling him, but he also knew that what Father Bruce didn't let him know must be a big deal.

Because he was the only person here who knew Father Bruce's identity other than the Holy Messenger.

It must be a big deal to be able to attract news of the oracle.

Even the Pope was shocked.

The Pope in the mouth of the Holy Envoy is not the Pope.

Because, although the "Silver Wings" belong to the Holy Church, they are not under the control of the Pope, but by another special institution of the Church.

The person in charge of this body is the Pope.

Incidentally, the Pope is in charge of the Twelve Cardinals and their powers. and the Holy Order, the Holy Cross.

Subduing Father Bruce, Sost opened his mouth again and asked, "Which is your disciple?" ”

Father Bruce looked at Father Vakan, "Vess, stand up and let the Holy Messenger see." ”

Bruce deliberately leaned at the word "Holy Messenger".

Sost certainly heard Bruce's disapproval, but he didn't care.

Don't say that this person is no longer that identity, even if it is still, not at the saint level, he doesn't care at all.

In the Holy Court, there are not many people who can make him jealous.

However, when Wakarn stood up, Sost was stunned.

He looked at Bruce and asked in disbelief, "This is your disciple?" A guy who has just entered the sixth level of silver? I don't think he's age, right? Not forty years old, but also in thirty, is this what you call a genius? ”

He couldn't help but be surprised, after all, he received news that the successor of that line had appeared, and as long as he passed the trial and assessment, he would be able to succeed him.

But now, that's how the so-called genius is? Is the silver level in his thirties a genius?

In ordinary people, it is indeed a genius.

But this is the Holy Church, and under the cultivation of church resources, silver levels in their twenties abound, and even gold levels in their early thirties.

Compared to those people, the person in front of him is not a genius.

Seeing that the other party looked down on his disciple so much, Bruce was furious.

"Vis is a genius who can stack healing magic! If it weren't for the fact that I didn't teach him other techniques in order to consolidate his foundation, why would it be difficult for him to advance to the gold level now! Don't look at him as only Silver Level 6, but even if he is a Silver Level 7 or even Gold Level 8, don't even think about defeating him easily! ”
