"What do you think?"

After Amiro and his party were taken down, Gehr picked up a cup of freshly poured hot water, and used his chin to catch the hot air gushing out of the cup, his eyes fixed on one point on the map, very focused.

After a long while, Gehr turned around and asked the goddess who was sipping coffee gracefully. Now she was the only one left in this hall except Gehr himself.

"It's a beautiful fruit, but it's hard to tell if it's sweet or poisonous before you eat it. ”

Gehr nodded, agreeing with the goddess's words.

Indeed, the information provided by Amyilo looks beautiful, and if he follows his advice, it is very likely that it will deal a heavy blow to the Slavna coalition and completely reverse the overall pattern of Merzai, which has to be said to be a great temptation.

But what if the information is wrong or simply fake, and what if the layout of the Slark army and Amilo have changed when they left?

Now they are deep behind enemy lines, it can be said that they are invincible, the only advantage is that the enemy is not yet aware of their arrival, but this advantage only provides them with a chance, if they do not seize the opportunity to lead to defeat, then it is not impossible to destroy the whole army.

And the timing of Amyilo's appearance was too coincidental. Although Gehr didn't think that this bold merchant was waiting for him to take Alkanburg, this situation still made him instinctively a little wary, and he didn't think it was a good thing to follow Amillo's words rashly without conducting a verification investigation.

There is never a 100% guaranteed war, and war is an adventure, but this should be expected on the basis of detailed analysis. Until the fog in front of him is completely cleared, Gehr will not make a rash decision. Of course. If he makes a decision, then he will go on with determination. Never offset.

"Then I'll quit first. Carmerita put down her empty cup and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, please. Gehr looked at the beautiful goddess and smiled, "I haven't had a chance to ask you, if you don't mind, can you tell me what you went to so many places for?"

These questions have been in Gehr's mind for a while, and it was normal for Camerita to go to Haysting and Konatas because of her travels, but it was incredible that she could still run to such a desolate Gitai grassland and be so familiar, and it was Gehr who also noticed that although Carmerita's expression at that time had been as calm as usual. But tell him directly that there is an inscrutable vacillation under the unchanging appearance. In order not to let this doubt ruin the friendship formed between the two of them, and not to let this emotion affect the rest of the battle, Geer decided to talk openly and honestly.

The beautiful goddess did not answer immediately, but just looked at Gehr quietly.

Gehr stopped talking, and looked back at her as well, waiting for her decision. Actually, if Camerita didn't want to say it, Gehr wouldn't care too much. After all, the help she had given him was real, and what Gehr was concerned about was nothing more than trivial matters. But Gell felt that the two should be friends, and it was better for him to ask out of the wishes of the friends, and as for whether the other party was willing to say, he did not want to force it.

Time slowly slips away in silence. When the afternoon sun broke into the room through the window, a pleasant voice finally broke the silence.

"It's just my personal business, though, and it's been a long time coming. But it might be nice to have a friend to talk to. ”

Carmelita smiled. began her narrative.

......

"That was in eight years...... No, it should have been nine years ago. At that time, I was a little younger than you, and when I mentioned incense, it was a blooming flower, and when I spoke of light, it was a warm sunshine......"

It was a period of recuperation after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had affected the entire world, and the overall environment was relatively stable compared to now, except for some places where there was still some chaos.

Carmelita was born in a small town in Pulpasacra, and of course the name no longer exists, replaced by Amrock.

The town is called Butangir, it is a very peaceful place, although not rich, but also above the general level, the geographical location is relatively remote, and there is little strategic value, so it is lucky to have escaped the aftermath of the war, and it is one of the few paradises in the entire Pulpasacra region.

Carmerita's father, Baron Bertaxon, was a nobleman who ruled the town, and was loved by the people for his benevolent and gentle governance.

Camerita was lucky to be born in this family, but because her parents believed in the Ingrid Church, she and her younger brother Ronald were sent to the Ingrid Temple on the edge of the town to be trained, and grew up there.

Because of the full support of Baron Bertaxon, the Ingrid Temple in Butangir has developed very well, whether it is with all kinds of equipment that a traditional temple should have, or pastures, farmland, martial arts training grounds, hospitals and dormitories and other facilities, and the temple is not only responsible for the training of male and female priests, but also responsible for the education of children in the surrounding area, it can be said that this temple is not only a religious building, but also a comprehensive college.

In addition to the dormitory of the temple, the Carmerita siblings can return to their homes to live temporarily on holidays, and their home is actually only a few streets away from the temple, so the Carmerita siblings have not lacked family love in their growth.

Due to the influence of her parents, Camelita studied various theologies during her upbringing, and devoted herself to becoming a goddess officer, and at the same time learned martial arts enough to guard the temple, whether it was melee, long-range or horsemanship, she was also very successful in all aspects, in addition to her wide range of interests, she was also involved in other medical skills, agriculture, history, art, etc., plus the training given to her by her aristocratic family background, which made her outstanding among the goddess official candidates in the same year.

Her younger brother Ronald is also outstanding in his studies, not inferior to his sister, and the family has a very good relationship, so her family is very enviable.

Goddesses were forbidden to marry and have children, and even had to remain virgin during their tenure as priests. However, if you give up your priesthood and become a vulgar person, you can fall in love freely, so the temple is open-minded about the emotional problems of young boys and girls. and do not forcibly intervene and deprive them of their right to choose.

At this time. Introduced to her brother Ronald, Camerita meets Bertalman, the man who changed her life and her entire family.

Carmerita met Bertalman at the age of sixteen. Bertalmann was eighteen years old at the time, and he was a fellow Templar who was the last class taller than Ronald. Bertalmann was a tall, blue-eyed young man with sea-like eyes. Although he came from a commoner family, he excelled in his studies and had a modest and courteous attitude, which made him very popular with the teachers and students of the temple.

Good young people are easily attracted to each other, and Carmerita is no exception, and it wasn't long before she fell in love with Bertalmann.

Ronald also revered Bertalman as a brother. He is also happy to see his favorite sister with Bertalmann.

Bertalmann was a very ambitious man, or rather he was very obsessed with getting rid of his civilian status, and he was arrogant and always wanted to make a big difference. He thought that the invaders would not be long in this great land, and felt that he should do his part for the independence of the people.

He and the like-minded youths in his neighborhood gathered to form a youth community, known as comrades, who gathered daily to denounce Konatas's betrayal of the Philippan Empire and his plundering policies against the newly named Emlock, and to curse the unscrupulous nobles who had taken refuge in foreign masters and the lackeys who played for the tiger.

Carmerita was worried about this. Because her father had been classified as an unscrupulous nobleman by these young men, she was not worried that her father would take action, but in fact that as a lord, Baron Bertaxon had a gentle personality and methods. As long as it's not an actual action, he won't have any drastic reactions, but it's hard to say about the lords of other regions.

However, Bertalmann, who was obsessed with the great cause of making history, did not listen to it at all, and the two broke up after a big quarrel. Decided that both of them needed some time to calm down, Carmerita returned home with her brother. No more meetings with Bertalmann for the time being.

It's just that before Camerita could wait for the two of them to calm down, an incident suddenly broke out that made the situation suddenly turn around.

The problem arose with Foster, a member of a youth group of the same name who lived in a neighboring territory. As one of the most radical members of the youth community. His actions have always been positive and have been commended by other members.

As a result, he annoyed the local lord Yarzi when he was propagating his ideas to the people, and he was directly arrested. Originally, Yarzi just wanted to educate this ignorant young man, but the next change was beyond everyone's expectations, and a large number of weapons were found in Foster's home, and there were independent plans for attacking the lords in various places, and there was even a membership list of the youth club.

This time Foster can be said to have stabbed the hornet's nest, and Foster was directly beheaded by the angry Yarzi. Moreover, under the propaganda of Yarqi, the surrounding lords also inspected their own territories, and even found signs that many youth associations were preparing to launch a coup d'état.

The small town of Butangir, the birthplace of the youth community, was also under pressure from the rest of the lords, and Baron Bertaxson had to be spared the qualifications of Bertalman, who had been recommended by the temple to become an official of the town, in order to appease the anger of the other lords.

Although Baron Bertaxon's punishment was milder than that of other members of the youth society, who were exiled or executed, the situation still frustrated Bertalman, who had been working hard for this official for a long time, and Carmerita returned to him to encourage him to regain his strength.

At Camerita's initiative, the two reconciled, and Bertalman set his sights on becoming an official priest.

Soon after, the temple began the selection of priestly qualifications.

Bertalman confidently ran for the election, but unexpectedly the winner turned out to be a person who usually performed far inferior to Bertalman, because Bertalman's previous behavior in the youth club incident was considered immature by the temple party, and it was hoped that he would continue to devote himself to studying for a period of time to hone his mind.

But this blow completely crushed the arrogant Bertalmann, turning his disappointment into despair. He drank and made trouble all day long, and he didn't even pay attention to the work of the temple, and found fault with others every day, even Camerita's persuasion was useless, as if he was a completely different person.

In fact, there were still many people who sympathized with Bertalman, and they comforted and encouraged him, after all, the temple did not give up on him, but the person in question was drunk, and one refused the kindness of others, and kept verbally attacking the person who had obtained the priesthood, the temple, and the lord.

"They are all guys who are jealous of my talents, you don't say cool things, I know that you are laughing at me in your hearts, I have long seen through your filthy thoughts under the mask of hypocrisy......"

People who were surprised by Bertalman's changes began to turn away from him, and after a while, there were only two or three friends left except for the Carmelita siblings, but Bertalmann remained unrepentant and still immersed in alcohol, hurting not only others but also himself.
