051 Is it okay for a parish priest who is 391 years old?
Elizabeth glanced at Wang, obviously afraid that his acting skills would be exposed.
The Salvation Squad is familiar with the Lich who destroyed a city, and if it leaks out, the reputation of the Salvation Squad will be ruined.
But she was overwhelmed.
Wang replied with a serious face: "We have been used. ”
He said it in no uncertain terms.
Petro: "Oh? ”
Wang: "You are so well-informed, I think you should know that my teacher told me about the several stages of the World Destruction Crisis, and the third stage of the undead and we will have common interests.
"At that time, the Catalan Legion invaded directly through the portal, and the Order also rode our faces, and the situation was very critical, at this time the lich Elzam appeared and suggested that we cooperate."
Petro: "Are you sure that the Anglican Order of Catala is behind this crisis?" ”
Wang: "I'm pretty sure we have a lot of evidence about them related to the extinction crisis. ”
Pietro nodded: "Understood, give me a copy of the evidence, and I will report to the Pope, and then maybe you can question the Lagarnora Order in the name of the Pope." ”
Wang: "Didn't you question them before?" Obviously, they worship such a suspicious god, and there is not a single priest in the order, only a mage. ”
Petro: "This question is complicated, Catala does not believe in our lord in the first place, they have their own local beliefs, and the main god may be some kind of ancient Catalan creature with mythological attributes, a kind of existence with the body of a man with the head of a dog.
The sage of the seminary wondered which god might be in disguise.
"My lord has always disliked encroaching on the spheres of influence of other gods, unless he is sure that they are evil gods."
Wang: "And then the Ragnora Order rose up and replaced the original local beliefs of Catalas, and you should be other gods in vests to seize the territory?" ”
Pietro: "That's it. Let's go back to the Lich. ”
Wang: "No, you just said that you were questioning the Lagenola Order in the name of the Pope, was it just questioning?" Can't the Crusaders simply turn the gun around and attack Cataloa? ”
Petro: "The crusaders were there to dredge the shipping lanes. And if Catalas falls into turmoil, it will also block the shipping lanes, and there will be a lot of goods to be transferred to Catala by sea, and then radiate to the entire Golden Bay. ”
The Golden Bay is the largest bay in Glaria, and countries including Catalas, Sissel, and Odas all have a stretch of coastline in the Golden Bay.
Therefore, the trade of the bay route in the Golden Bay is very developed, and the output value far exceeds the sea route across the endless sea to the other side of the world.
Of course, the low value of the route to the other side of the world is mainly due to the fact that there is the shield Lugama Xunya River, which is the main artery of the land trade route.
Compared with the sea route, which is difficult to ship at every turn, the land route that can stably transport goods is more popular with merchants.
In addition, nearly a third of this land route is waterway, and it takes much more time to travel by land than by sea.
Wang: "Just because you don't want to affect the trade of the Golden Bay, you just leave the Church that wants to destroy the world alone?" Does this meet your God's expectations? ”
Pietro: "My lord...... As I said before when He was apparitioned, He doesn't like to interfere much in matters of the Lord's physical plane. So we can only speculate on what He means, and if He appears directly and tells us to destroy the Order of Ragnora, then we will naturally go to the fire and finish it. ”
King: "But as long as Lancelot does not show up and instructs you to destroy the Order, you will only question?" ”
Petro sighed: "It costs money to start a war, and this time the crusade came so quickly because of the generosity of the desperate merchants. Besides, isn't there a salvation squad? ”
Wang: "And what if we fail?" ”
Pietro didn't answer, just smiled, and then changed the subject: "Let's talk about the lich." You say the Lich deceived the Salvation Squad? ”
Wang: "That's right, he approached us with a feigned curiosity, and then expressed his willingness to fight the Order together. At first, his undead army didn't even attack the Pelicans, the Docks Gang of Repulse City, who were on the same side as us.
But when Catala's legions were wiped out, he revealed his true colors and began to harvest the living. In total, less than two thousand people survived in the entire Wharf District of Repulse City - no, less than two thousand people survived in the entire Wharf District.
"The Lich took advantage of us, especially against the Master of the Ragnora Order who was in Repulse City at the time, and the Order's Agent."
Petro: "Surrogate? ”
"Yes, Kedia Banujulian of the Banujulian family."
Teresa Knight frowned: "Banuhulian, isn't that the royal family of Catala?" ”
Wang: "Indeed, the agent is Her Royal Highness the Princess of Catala. ”
Petro: "You say that Elzam relied on the Salvation Team to deal with these two?" It's been alive for a long time, and it's the number one in our ranks. ”
"But he's very good at fighting." The king spread his hands, "We killed him once." This time, he was confronted by the Ragnora Order, and was quickly beaten to the point that he was reduced to a skeleton. ”
Teresa Knight: "Is it possible that there is a deliberate show of weakness?" ”
The king was about to say that Elzam's character was unlikely, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he really had a good personal relationship with the lich, so he replied, "Possibly." In short, we were taken advantage of. Now we don't know where it's hidden. ”
Petro stared at the king for several seconds before sighing, "This is going to be difficult. Just by exterminating the undead army, without destroying the lich, the crusader's goal will not be accomplished. ”
Teresa Knight: "Your Excellency, do you know what Elzam's purpose is?" What did he want to do with such an undead army? ”
Wang: "I don't know. I questioned him, and he replied that he was an undead creature and that it was his instinct to sow death. ”
Pietro stammered: "Instinct, it's quite straightforward. ”
King: "He also told me not to trust the lich easily. ”
"You shouldn't trust an evil undead creature lightly." Teresa agreed.
Pietro: "Since you don't know where the lich is, then none of your business is the next. Thanks ......"
Wang: "You can try to detect the spatial fluctuations left by the teleportation spell. Nine-Ring Mages who are familiar with teleportation magic can easily do this. ”
"That's the problem," Petro paused, "this is a crusade organized by the Lancelot church, how many Nine-Ring Mages do you think will participate?" ”
Wang: "What do you mean?" ”
Pietro: "The church has no contradiction with the mages, but it ......"
Wang: "But? ”
Petro spread his hands: "It's hard to say this. All in all, we'll try to use divination to track the Lich's movements. ”
Wang: "Then it's none of our business?" ”
Petro: "Oh, one more thing. Just this morning, the Pope informed us that the parish priest of the Temple of the Floating Island has been elected, and it fully meets your requirements. ”
Wang: "Did you really choose an old woman?" ”
"Yes, I really chose an old grandmother." Pietro nodded, "She's 391 years old, and she's an old grandmother by half-elf standards." She's leaving the monastery now, and she'll be arriving here by airship in about a week. ”
Wang: "The airship takes a week, how far does she come from?" ”
"Her monastery is on Mount Oberon." Teresa Knight replied.
Elizabeth: "Where is that?" ”
Wang: "A branch of the World Mountain Range, it's a long way from here anyway. We will arrange a small welcome ceremony to welcome the parish priest, is there anything else we can do to help? ”
Petro: "No. ”
Wang: "Then let me ask, how is the battle?" ”
"The lich has fled, and it is only a matter of time before the remaining undead army is wiped out." Teresa Knight replied.
Wang: "What about the casualties?" ”
"Acceptable. The first wounded soldiers will be sent back shortly. Teresa Knight continued, "Then we will have to trouble the women of the floating island to help take care of it." ”
Wang: "I thought the wounded soldiers would be treated by the priest. ”
Teresa: "The priest's spellcasting ability is to be reserved for the Death Knight and the Death Witch, and the healing spell is also an attack spell when facing the undead. ”
Rosalie: "So the wounded soldiers were not treated, so they were sent back to be bandaged." ”
"Seriously injured people will still be treated." Teresa Knight said, "The people who came back were minor wounded who could heal naturally. ”
Rosalie: "Understood, I'm going to arrange for someone to help." ”
