Chapter 0296 - On the Road Again
Eventually, Richelieu was persuaded by Nock.
At the end of the day, he's ambitious, too.
Otherwise, he would not have faced the queen for the sake of the last king's will.
In the end, he was defeated and degraded.
Now the opportunity is in front of him.
As long as he becomes a cardinal, he can make a strong comeback.
With the name of the current godfather of the king, he can return to officialdom.
When the time comes, he will be the cardinal, and he will also be the important minister of the state!
Especially this time I also met this young child,
A brilliant, equally ambitious bishop.
If they join forces, they may not be able to fight for a future!
And so, in the presence of an excited Roger Fit and a terrified Finet.
Richelieu and Nock reached an agreement on verbal cooperation.
After dawn, the five of them left the woods directly and walked along the official road, all the way to the south.
It wasn't until late afternoon that the town was discovered.
Five people, only Nock has money.
Richelieu is because he doesn't have much salary, and there are envoys on the road to cover the cost of the journey,
Therefore, he left all his money in the residence of the royal capital.
Finet and Rod's money, inside the adventurer's ID card.
If you want to get it, you have to find the adventurer's guild.
Only Nock found the broken money bag from Forrest Gump's body,
Dozens of gold coins were looted.
So, Nock generously asked for four rooms.
Originally, Richelieu and Roger Fit said that they only needed one room.
But Nock was adamantly opposed.
If he didn't need someone to take care of him, he would have wanted to open five rooms.
Anyway, he decided, and he will repair it here for three days.
That night, under the surprised gazes of several people, Nock used the Holy Light Redemption to save Rod.
It also made Finet let go of the worries in his heart.
At least his life was held.
If the Bishop wants to kill him, he doesn't need to save Rhodes at all.
Rhodes was devastated when he learned that his life had been saved at the cost of the bishop.
He knelt down on the spot and pledged his allegiance.
Nock could only lie in bed and accept his allegiance.
Seeing this, Finet didn't understand Nock's plan,
He immediately knelt down and pledged his allegiance to Nock.
said that when he returned to Reims City, he would find a chance to return to his original adventure team and resign.
After all, he and Rhodes just didn't have their place because the adventure team didn't have their place.
will come out to experience alone.
Now he has taken refuge in a master with excellent divine skills, low status, ambition, and wisdom,
It seems to be good.
Anyway, being an adventurer is also about living.
Being able to join the church is also a shade under the big tree.
For the next two days, Nock was taken care of in bed.
There's no way, although the people around me can be trusted,
But it wasn't enough for Nock to share his secrets completely.
Over the course of two days, Nock arranged for Finet and Rhodes to buy a new carriage.
Then carry out the transformation.
It stands to reason that there were five of them, and it would have been more appropriate to use two wagons to carry supplies.
But it was denied by Nock, and instead spent a lot of money to build an elongated,
A horse-drawn carriage with an iron sandwich was also made inside the wall.
Four horses were also prepared to pull the cart, in case there was not enough to ride in case of danger.
About 100 catties of food were prepared, as well as a barrel of wine and a bucket of water.
Who makes the champagne collar rich in wine?
Quench your thirst and drink wine, and use water to cook rice.
Then five quilts and blankets were prepared, after all, it was almost late autumn.
Winter is just a month away.
When they were ready, they left the town where they had settled.
Continue on the road and head south.
Richelieu had the identity certificate of the cardinal candidate and the certificate of clearance, both issued by the Holy Order.
Fortunately, he was close to him, so he was not destroyed in the mountain col.
Nock also had a clearance certificate, which was given to the envoy when he issued his mandate.
Because the matter of going to the Holy Court to report on his work was decided early in the morning, and the pass was already done.
These two passes are obviously not simple, and they can be unimpeded as long as they are in the countries under the jurisdiction of the church.
Otherwise, without proof, it is easy to be regarded as a spy and arrested by the local state.
On the way, Roger Fit drove the carriage, and Rod sat on the side.
On the special seat on the roof of the car, Finet was in charge of lookout and vigilance.
Inside the carriage, however, Nock's exclamations could be heard.
"What! You say that there are no after-effects for people in the church to use 'divine salvation'? Won't be weak either?
You didn't lie to me? ”
Nock glared at Richelieu with suspicion.
Richelieu calmly stepped back, making his ears feel better, and then said.
"Really. According to the records, there are indeed no sequelae,
There are even people who can perform this magic three or five times in a row. ”
Richelieu's words devastated Nock.
Why is he the only one who is hurt!
It turns out that the full version of "Divine Salvation" actually has no side effects!
Nock felt that his sins had been in vain.
But think about it, for so many years, no one in the church except the older generation has learned this magic at all.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with him being a little guilty.
However, he still has to learn this complete version of the Holy Light Redemption.
Otherwise, it will not work if you use it once in the future.
Even if his current strength is only enough to show it once or twice, as long as he is not weak, it will be earned.
With Richelieu as his companion, Nock is not lonely along the way.
The two exchanged theology and magic experiences with each other.
Each other has gained a lot.
This is an experience that Nock has never experienced.
Since Father John's death, he has been on his own in terms of theology and theology.
It wasn't until he got the fragment of the [Destiny Tapestry] that he took his magic further.
Although there are some flaws, it makes him even stronger.
Along the way, Nock has gained a lot.
The mood is also much better.
The group did not encounter much trouble on the road.
The occasional Warcraft was also solved by the three of Roger Fit.
Even after midnight, even dark creatures and weirdness have not been encountered.
It can be said that it is rare smooth sailing.
In this way, they left the champagne collar and entered the Burgundian collar.
Having entered the Burgundian territory, Nock and the others found that the style of painting here had changed.
Although the environment is also the same as the champagne collar,
But there is less of a vibrant scene and more of a lifeless atmosphere.
So much so that when a group of strangers like them entered a village, no one bothered them.
Instead, he was busy with the things in his own hands.
Even when they parked the carriage at the door of the village's tavern, the proprietress standing at the door did not greet them.
It wasn't until they tried to enter the tavern that the proprietress moved her steps to get in front of them.
"You're outsiders, aren't you? I advise you to leave the village as soon as possible. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave if you want to. ”
The proprietress said that Nock and the others were curious.
I saw the business in the store in the past, but I haven't seen the business come to the door and rush out.
Finnet couldn't help but exclaim: "Boss, what's the matter with you, how can you go outside to catch guests." ”
The proprietress gave Finet an angry look and sighed, "You think I'm willing!"
If you look at our village, you don't see that there are only women, not a single man?
Not even the old man. ”
After being reminded by the proprietress that Nock and the others discovered the strangeness of the village.
"Really, is there something strange going on with you?
Could it be that there is a banshee who specializes in seducing men to kill? ”
The proprietress took a sip directly: "Phew! If it was a banshee, we would have accepted it. ”
"So what's going on?" Richelieu couldn't help but ask.
The proprietress had a gloomy expression, and couldn't help but scold in a low voice: "It's not a damn lord yet, and I don't know what to smoke crazy!"
The men locked in the village have been arrested, and if they don't go, the village will be slaughtered!
Without men, we women are the only ones to support our families, and we can only work in the fields every day.
Where is there still the mood to do anything else.
Like my tavern, the men have been arrested, who still comes to drink.
Occasionally, passers-by came in to rest, but they were also captured by the lord's guards who came to patrol.
So, if you don't want to be captured by the lord, you might as well leave quickly. ”
When Nock heard this, they looked at each other, a little unsure of how to respond.
Richelieu thought for a moment and said, "It's better to be like this, hostess, you sell us a barrel of wine in your store,
Give us some more water and dry food, and we'll leave at once. ”
When the proprietress heard it, it was okay, anyway, she hadn't opened for a long time.
"Okay, you guys come and carry the wine with me. As for the water, there is a well over there near the middle of the village.
You can fight whatever you want. I don't have much dry food, only bread that I prepare for myself. I'll give it all to you.
I can sell you some of the grain. It's a waste for me to put it away, and I can't sell it without customers. ”
Richelieu thought about it and thought it would work.
So, he told Roger Fit to go with the proprietress to carry the wine.
Nock told Rhodes to fetch water, and Finnett went to the village to inquire about the situation.
The crowd split up, with Nock and Richelieu staying where they were, watching the wagon.
The two stood by the carriage and exchanged opinions.
"Ryan, what do you think of the situation?"
"Richelieu, I don't think we should care about whatever the situation is."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because I think it's going to be a big problem. We need to hurry now, and we can't afford to get into trouble. ”
Richelieu thought for a moment and felt that Nock had a point.
It's just that they don't want to get into trouble, and trouble seems to be finding them.
Just as Rhodes brought back the bucket full of water, and Roger Fett got the wine into the wagon.
A cavalry appeared on the other side of the village.
This scene made Nock and the others feel bad.
"Fence them up!"
The menacing cavalry directly surrounded the four Nok and the carriage.
"What are you doing!"
Richelieu calmly questioned the cavalry around him.
"What for! The lord is recruited, and all men must report to the lord's palace. You dare to disobey!
Come on, get them for me! ”
"Presumptuous! I'll see who dares! ”
Roger Feldt drew his sword directly, and Rod didn't bring a weapon because he went to fetch water, so he could only clench his fists and put on a posture.
Get ready for battle.
Richelieu's face sank and he rebuked, "Ridiculous! Who gave Trump the guts to detain the people privately! ”
"Bold! How dare you insult your lord! Sin is one more! Don't get them down for me! ”
The cavalry squad leader waved his hand angrily to give the order, but was interrupted by a loud shout from Nock.
"Bold? I think you're really bold! Even the private guards dare to attack the bishop of the church!
Blind your dogs! See clearly! The one who stands before you,
But the Church is not a candidate for cardinal! You're on your way to the Holy Court to compete for the position of cardinal!
Who are you instigating the cardinal candidates of my Holy Church?
Say! Otherwise, the Church will surely tread you Burgundian leaders and find out who is behind you! ”
Nock's words suddenly frightened the soldiers who wanted to do it into a cold sweat.
"You...... Are you members of the church? ”
The captain of the cavalry sat on wax, and it was not that they did not forcibly take away the passengers who passed by.
But those people were obedient.
Unexpectedly, the group of people in front of me actually had such a background.
But you have such a big background, why is the carriage you ride in so shabby!
If you ride in a luxurious carriage, we won't dare to beat your idea!
The thought of offending the big people of the church will surely be unlucky when they go back,
A fierce glint appeared in the eyes of the cavalry captain.
This scene happened to be captured by Nock, and Nock hurriedly preemptively attacked.
"What! You still want to kill people, but you can't do it! Unless you slaughter the whole village,
Otherwise, the crimes you have committed will never be hidden! A candidate for cardinality is missing,
The church will definitely look into it!
You want your relatives to go to the gallows together!
If you don't want to, don't hurry up and lay down your arms! ”
Nock's words finally broke the hearts of the other soldiers.
They surrender now, at most, they have offended the nobles, and their sins are not unto death.
But if you really attack a nobleman, it is a capital crime!
A capital crime that the lord can't cover!
When the cavalry captain saw his men throw away their weapons, he regretted why he didn't strike first.
Even if he is asked to do it now, he won't dare!
As the young man in front of him said, as long as the village gets rid of a living outlet, they can't hide what they are doing today!
So, he could only roll over and dismount, and fell to one knee on the ground.
"The villain just acted on orders, and he didn't know that the nobles were coming, offended the nobles, and asked the nobles to forgive him!"
The squad leader softened, and the other cavalrymen dared to stand, kneeling down and begging for mercy.
Nock and Richelieu glanced at each other, and saw a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.
Nock glanced at Richelieu, who nodded knowingly.
"Well, my bishop remembers your business. Go back and tell Trumps,
Let him quickly release the captured villagers. Otherwise, when I return from the Holy Court,
I must go to His Majesty and sue him!
You let him do what he wants.
Now, get out of here! ”
