Chapter 1 [Lauri Vick]

Goose-featherlike snowflakes fluttered and fell from the sky wantonly, like dancing snow-white elves, dancing in the sky and beating cheerfully. The wide street is crowded with pedestrians, making Ayibagh Street look particularly cold in winter.

The architectural style of Ayibagh Avenue is mostly in the form of circular vaults, which is also one of the characteristics of the architectural style of the Holy See. After all, Ayibagh was not the capital of the Byzantine Empire.

Speaking of Ayibag, it is a city with a long history. Legend has it that the savior Mosaya was born here, and it was his hometown. As the godfather of the founding of the Holy See, Mosayleh commemorated his contributions, and the descendants of the Holy See renamed it Ayibagh, which later became the capital of the Holy See.

Ayibagh means hometown in mythology......

When it comes to the Byzantine Empire, it's a legendary empire. Two thousand years ago, there was no such country on the territory of Izumo. Three thousand years ago, the Messiah Samoyed founded the Holy See, and since then the Church has grown in number of believers on the continent, and its strength has grown rapidly, and then they have their own guards and their own army. 1,800 years ago, the patriarch of that generation, Ian Yaap, raised his arms and called on the papal seekers and believers all over the continent to stand up and create their own kingdom of God! It was a protracted war, and almost the whole world was plunged into the baptism of war. Eventually, Ian Yaap finally founded the Byzantine Empire, the kingdom that came to be known as the gods, and Ayibagh was known as the closest thing to the gods on the continent of Izumo.

After 1,800 years of unremitting development, the Byzantine Empire is now known as one of the three great powers on the mainland, and it is by no means the weak, poor, and seriously underpopulated country it was at the beginning.

There is also a reason why the Byzantine Empire would be ranked as the third most powerful country on the continent. Although its strength is not a little worse than the previous two powerhouses, even the Dou Sheng is only three or four, and the Dou Shen powerhouse is even more none. But it has a large number of believers, religious beliefs know no borders, even in the northernmost ice and snow on the continent there are their followers, the entire Izumo continent counted, their believers may be more populous than the Gal Empire, and the centripetal force cohesion is also stronger, once this force is united, it will be extremely terrifying.

In addition, this generation of popes of the Holy See is known as the existence closest to the God of Fighting, known as the first person under the God of Fighting, and it is even more exaggerated that it may take at most ten years for this generation of Pope to be promoted to the level of God of Fighting and become the top existence on the continent. And once he is promoted, the status of the Byzantine Empire will definitely rise, after all, the other fighting gods are all dragons, and there has been no fighting god on the continent for hundreds of years, so the Pope is likely to become the first fighting god in the world, and this deterrent is extremely huge. In addition, the Holy See enshrined the Heavenly Deities, and there are some extremely strange exercises, which even the Dou Sheng's powerhouses do not want to confront them. There are also rumors among the Dou Sheng's powerhouses that the Holy See can obtain the power belonging to the gods through rituals, although it is not long, but the combat power is extremely terrifying, not weaker than the Dou Shen.

For various reasons, the Byzantine Empire became more and more powerful and more brilliant......

On the eastern section of Ayibagh Street, a house on the side of the road that has been abandoned for many years has recently rejuvenated its second spring and ushered in a new owner.

It can be seen that the new owner of this mansion is very rich, and he has renovated the whole yard to one side, which has cost a lot. In addition, it can be seen that the new owner is also a very devout believer, and it is said that he always wears a cross made of sterling silver around his neck, and he is reluctant to take it off no matter what he does, even when he is sleeping and bathing.

The new owner is called Laurivic, and it is said that his family is in the Far West, and he is also a well-known local family, and the business is very large. But Vic doesn't seem to like business very much, instead preferring to go around preaching doctrine, bringing the light of the Lord to the world, making them feel a little bit more connected to their hearts, and baptizing their souls.

Vic wasn't very old, and at the age of twenty-five, he made a great and stupid decision. He abandoned the large amount of property he could inherit, and without hesitation, he took his housekeeper and his beautiful wife on a long journey through thousands of mountains and rivers, and it took him two years to come to Ayibagh.

This move is indeed great and stupid. In the eyes of the average person, this is extremely stupid. They even privately accused Vic of being an idiot, an idiot who had been brainwashed by the Holy See, who was so full of doctrinal gifts that he had given up so much gold and silver treasure. And in the eyes of the believers, Vic's actions are great, which shows that his yearning for the Lord has covered up the greed carried by human beings themselves.

For the past two years, Vic has been enthusiastically preaching the teachings everywhere he goes on the way to Ayibagh, and he feels very satisfied that his soul has been sublimated, and the dirt hidden in the deepest part of his heart has been washed away.

Speaking of this Laurivick, he is really a rare handsome guy, and what is even more exaggerated is that his wife is also as beautiful as a fairy.

"Master, where do you think these things are going to be?" Pader, who had just been recruited to be the housekeeper of the mansion, bowed down in fear and asked the young man in front of him. This young man is a talented man, and his spirit is magnificent. A signature black hair makes one feel very energetic.

This is Laurivick.

Vic smiled gently, raised his hand and waved, and said, "Steward Pad, where you see it, put it there." ”

Pad looked surprised, then nodded in surprise, and kept reassuring, "Yes, yes." I will definitely live up to my lord's high expectations and dress up my home beautifully. "Pad didn't expect his master to trust him so much, it's a great honor for him, and he must work hard in the future.

In the space of a day, Pad felt like he was in a dream, and a bizarre dream. A day ago, he was just a bartender in an ordinary tavern in the city of Ayibag, when he happened to meet Laurivic, whose family had moved here. With the fiery essence that he had cultivated over the years, Pad could see at a glance the wealth of the family, and thought that if he served well, he would definitely have a lot of tips, so he was very attentive.

Because of this, Pard was appointed as a butler by chance, and has been following Laurivick ever since.

For such a request, Pad was naturally happy to jump. After all, the status of a butler is not comparable to that of a bartender. Not only is the power very great, there are many people under him, they are high-ranking people, and even the salary is several times higher than that of the bartender. Unexpectedly, such a good thing actually fell on his head, and Pad felt that he was going to wake up laughing from his dream.

Pinching his face, until the pain came, Pad smiled and ran to the backyard.

Standing in the middle of the courtyard, Vic looked at the goose feathers and snow in the sky, and always had a shallow smile on his face. The whole person fell into deep thought, and he didn't even notice that the fluffy collar was covered with snowflakes.

At this time, out of the room behind him came a very beautiful woman, her blonde hair flowing softly and dazzling like a ball of golden light. The ends of the hair are naturally bent and knotted, and a light blue ribbon is wrapped around it, making the real person look feminine and dignified. She was dressed in a snow-white light veil, which seemed to complement each other in the white world in front of her, and it seemed that she was from the sky and integrated with the whole world. Her fair face was unblemished, and her cheeks were a little crimson because of the weather, like ripe apples, so bright and dazzling.

The woman walked up to Laurivic's side, her eyes warmly fixed on the man in front of her. It took a long time to come back to his senses and gently dust off the snowflakes on Vic's neckline. Suddenly, a hint of cunning flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she shoved the dusted snowflakes into Vic's clothes.

"Humph!" Vic turned around with a wicked grin, grabbed the woman by the waist, and pulled her into his arms. The next moment, the woman's whole body was attached to Vic's body.

The woman smiled stupidly, the blush on her face became more obvious, she bit her lips lightly, and then said softly: "My Mr. Vic, you are also a devout believer, do you still want to bully me, poor weak woman?"

"Uh!" Vic was dumbfounded, touched the tip of his nose with a wry smile, and then put his mouth close to the woman's ear, muttering in a very small voice that he didn't know what to say, and suddenly made the woman exclaim that she was about to escape from his clutches.

"Hmph!" The woman's pretty face was like a flower, pretending to be a trace of anger, and then said: "Why didn't I find out that you were such a bad embryo at the beginning, but instead pretended to be a sanctimonious appearance, making a woman in the family take the initiative like that." ”

Vic smiled, with a look of memory on his face, and a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth, "That's not called sanctimonious, but unmoved, after all, you stole my bladeless heavy sword in the first place." Beautiful woman, why be a thief!"

"Ahh ”

Suddenly, the whole courtyard resounded with laughter and frolic.

That's right, this Vic is actually Lin Tao, and the woman is Loria.

At this time, it had been more than two full months since Lin Tao left the Great Plains of La Cadre, and the time had come from late autumn to cold winter. In the past two months, Lin Tao first led his men to the border town of the Byzantine Empire, where he joined Loria and "Shadow", and then everyone hurried leisurely to Ayibag, the capital of the Byzantine Empire.
