Early the next morning, Geralt sent Jordin and McKinsh away, aristocrats like them could not stay in this small country place for too long, and it would be very embarrassing for Geralt to stay for two days. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)
After Jordyn and McKinsh left, Geralt took Kitley and the Grand Butler to the Holy Church in Shining Gold. [Search for the latest updates.]
This is an extremely magnificent, gorgeous, and solemn building, covering a huge area, and a magnificent cathedral has been built in such a remote town, which shows the great power and wealth of the Holy See, and even the mayor's house is not so luxurious.
Kitley looked at this holy church with envy, if only he could work in it, even a small guard would have a much higher status than the lord of Naka Manor.
The door of the church opened, and a thin old man walked out of the door, and he saw Geralt, "Who are you? What are you doing in the Holy Cathedral of Shining Gold?"
Geralt smiled and said, "This gentleman, I am the master of the Naka manor, and I have come to visit the Aryan priest, and I have something important to ask to see......"
The janitor of the Holy Church, Geralt didn't dare to offend, and he had to look at the owner's face to beat the dog, right?
"Oh......" The thin man replied haughtily, in fact, he was only a commoner, but because of the accumulation of virtue by his ancestors, he obtained the position of the janitor of the holy church, so he naturally had to get up, and everyone in the surrounding big towns and towns, even the mayor of the town had to nod his head when he saw him, which made him very satisfied.
He arrogantly glanced up and down at Geralt, they were extremely well-dressed, and roughly estimated each other's income in his heart, and snorted coldly, "If someone asks to see the Aryan priest every day, and everyone says that there is something important, then our priest doesn't have to do anything, just receive you people......"
When Geralt heard about the Great Khan, the janitor couldn't afford to offend, so he had to resign, "We do have something important to do......"
The thin man snorted again, and said in a strange voice, "I don't care if you want to do anything, but if you want to see the Aryan priest, you have to follow the rules......"
"What rules?" asked Geralt.
The thin man was a little dissatisfied, "I said that you are also dressed like a dog, why don't you understand the rules at all?" said and stretched out two fingers, "This...... Do you understand this?"
"Understood...... Understand ......" Geralt saw this gesture, no matter how stupid a person could understand, he immediately took out two gold coins from his pocket and handed them over.
"Hmm......" The thin man took it, looked at it sharply, but found that the number was wrong, and his eyes glared: "What about the son, you want to see the Aryan priest for only two gold coins?"
"So, how much is that?" said Geralt, stunned.
"Twenty gold coins......" said the thin man without hesitation.
"Ahh
Hearing this price, several people were shocked, it was not that they could not afford twenty gold coins, but they felt that it was too expensive, and they couldn't imagine that a holy church gatekeeper would have so much.
"Don't you have any money, if you can't afford it, get out of ......" The janitor glared and was about to close the door.
At this time, Kitley was dissatisfied, "How do you talk, believe it or not, I make you look good......"
"Hah...... You actually threatened me......" The thin man sneered, opened the door, and crossed his waist and shouted, "I'll just wait, why do you call me good-looking......"
"You ......" Kitley's face turned purple liver, and he stretched out his hand to draw his sword.
The skinny man sneered there.
"Don't ...... Other...... It's all a misunderstanding......" Geralt was startled, thinking that this stupid boy had more than enough to do, and he dared to use his sword in the Holy Cathedral, and he didn't want to live, if so, the Holy Roman Empire wouldn't have to stay unless he fled to another country.
Geralt softened his tone and took out a bag from his arms, "This gentleman, my son is not sensible, please don't bother with him, here are twenty gold coins, please see the Aryan priest......"
"Hmph, that's pretty much ......" The thin man reached out and took Geralt's bag, shook it, smiled with satisfaction, and opened the door.
Geralt's heart was a little depressed, he hadn't seen Father Aryan yet, and he had already given away a lot of gold coins, this man clearly said that it was twenty gold coins, but the first time the two gold coins were not returned, and he had already given away twenty-two gold coins, but thinking of the reward of five hundred gold coins, Geralt was also relieved, he still knew the truth that small wealth is not out, and big wealth is difficult to enter.
He followed the thin man into the cathedral, and saw the Aryan priest worshipping under the seat of the god of light in the center of the church, with his back to them.
The priest was dressed in a black priest's robe, with angel wings embroidered on his shoulders, and he clasped his hands together, not knowing what he was praying.
"Shh......h The priest is in service, so wait a minute...... "The thin man said.
Geralt had to wait a little longer.
After a while, the priest finished the service and turned around, and Geralt saw the priest's appearance clearly, with a bare head, a thick beard on his chin, and a cross-shaped angel statue hanging on his chest, and the whole person exuded a smell of holiness. When he saw the three of them, he asked the janitor, "What are they doing here......
"Father, they have something to ask to see you...... "The thin man said respectfully.
The Aryan priest nodded, "Alright, you go down......"
The man retired.
The Aryan priest looked a few people up and down, but did not say hello, and said lightly, "If there is something, tell me quickly......
"Yes, Father Aryan......" Geralt could not hide his excitement, "as a citizen of God, I should report to God the sins I have seen, let God spread the light, and purify the world for a ......."
Geralt took a deep breath, "Father Aryan, I found a cultivator of necromancy in Maple Town......"
"What?necromancer?" the priest's closed eyes snapped open, his eyes like lightning, and he stared at Geralt for a moment, "Is this true?"
"It's true...... Geralt swore by him, "I am the master of Naca Manor, and my butler was attacked by a necromancer on a night's errand, and I have two servants who have been killed by a necromancer." β
The Aryan priest turned to the archsteward and asked in a deep voice, "You...... Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes...... "The butler nodded bitterly, "He summoned four skeletons and killed my brother at once, I was also injured, and luckily escaped with my life......"
"Show me the wounds......" said Father Aryan.
The chief butler undressed and showed the Aryan priest the wound.
"Well, it's a bit like necromancy, but how can necromancy do such damage?, on the contrary, it's very similar to a thief's wound......" The Aryan priest finished speaking, waved his hand, and a holy white light lit up, dispersing the venom around the wound at once, and then, the wound was miraculously healed.
"Thank you, Father Aryan......" the butler thanked with joy.
Geralt felt a pang in his heart, Father Aryan's hand is not simple, it is called advanced healing, and churches in small places have this skill, and the power of the Holy See is undoubted.
"No thanks, it is the duty of our Holy See to save the wounded...... "Father Aryan said with a blank face.
Puzzled, Geralt asked, "Father Aryan, isn't necromancy useless magic, how could he hurt my butler?
Father Aryan glanced at him, "Necromancy is indeed ineffective, but that refers to ...... compared to the same class."
In other words, it means that his housekeeper is too poor.
Geralt was speechless for a while, his butler was at least an apprentice intermediate strength, and he was not an ordinary person, of course, he didn't dare to say this in front of the priest.
Father Aryan thought for a moment and said, "Although this necromancer is still a small child and poses no threat to us, it is the glorious mission of our Holy See to eradicate the evils of the world, and heretics like the necromancer must be cleansed......"
"We don't care what happens to the Roland Empire, but in the Holy Roman Empire, there must be no necromancer......" Father Aryan said loudly.
"The God of Light is ......above," said Geralt reverently, "Father Aryan, I will show you the place where last night's incident took place. β
β¦β¦
The tragedy that happened by the river last night could not be hidden from others, but not from the residents of the town, and for a while, the whole town suddenly became lively. , people have been around the stone bridge to point.
On the stone bridge of Maple Town, more than twenty papal guards slowly walked over, wearing red and white uniforms, as the main escort force of the Holy Cathedral in Shining Gold Town, in order to eliminate the necromancer, the Aryan also brought them out.
By the creek, the papal guard drove the Aryan priest to take a closer look at the headless body of the brown-haired man, and then said, "This is a fatal knife, and the cut is flat, but this alone does not prove that it was a necromancer, but rather the work of a thief or a swordsman." β
The Aryan priest turned to the body of the man in black, "The four swords pierced from different angles, and it seems that the assassins cooperated tacitly, but this also does not prove ......"
"There is no evidence, there is no conclusive evidence at all...... "The Aryan priest pondered, and after a moment he turned to one of the papal guards and said, "Call me a townsman who knows him well......"
"Yes...... Father ......"
After a while, the chubby Aunt Susan stood in front of the Aryan priest, and she couldn't help but be a little nervous when she saw such a big man for the first time.
"That kid's name is Ron, and he's been here for a long time?" said Father Aryan with a pleasant face.
"Yes, Father, he has been here with a wandering old man for more than ten years...... Aunt Susan replied honestly.
"Then let me ask you, have you seen him practice necromancy?" asked the Aryan priest.
"What is necromancy?" Aunt Susan didn't understand.
"Well, it's ......," said Father Aryan, who didn't know what to say, after thinking for a moment, "did he behave strangely, such as a skeleton next to him or something?"
The Aryan priest's words were full of guidance.
"Not really!"
"Really?" said Father Aryan disbelieved.
If you don't believe me, the priest can ask the other townspeople, who are familiar with Ron. Aunt Susan thought for a moment, "But there are really strange behaviors, he goes to the Maple Grove Ancient Road every afternoon, rain or shine." β
"Huh?" Aryan sensitively caught this, "what is he going there for?"
"I don't know, I heard that he wants to apprentice and learn magic, oh, by the way, his dream is to become a great magician. Aunt Susan said with a smile. "Stopping the mages passing by and begging them to teach them magic is such a naΓ―ve idea that only a kid like Ron can come up with......"
Father Aryan nodded expressionlessly, "Oh, I see, you go back." β
