Chapter 985: The Old Man of the Temple (Three Thousand Nine, Full of Discipline...... )

Carrying the bloody head, ask who is for and who is against. In fact, it is asking who wants to die or wants to die......

The results speak for themselves.

After a slight delay, the two teams became one. Tang En and the others turned into inconspicuous guards and merged into the honor guard of the second prince. The next step was naturally a hurry, and it was also the beginning of the suffering of a group of old nobles of the negotiating group......

Previously, although the second prince and his entourage were also like arrows, they hated to fly back to the southern capital immediately, so as to preside over the overall situation and stabilize their own forces. But because there are too many elderly and immature nobles in the team, they can't withstand the bumps, and they can't be fast if they want to.

But now that Tang En is in charge of the team's journey, how can he waste time on this, and immediately ordered to abandon all unnecessary things such as extravagant carriages and gorgeous honor guards, and change them to fast horses and rapid travel to increase the speed of progress.

Naturally, this move took the lives of those nobles, who had been pampered for most of their lives, how could they have experienced such a harsh battle? Just after a while of tossing on horseback, the face of the second prince, who was still young, turned pale, not to mention those old nobles who were already old. I only feel that the bones are scattered, and the body is not my own numbness......

That's it, the demon named Don still has undisguised dissatisfaction on his face, urging the team to increase his speed again and again.

Seeing this, the old nobles dared not speak out, although they continued to scold and slander in their hearts, but looking at the bloodstains on their clothes that had not yet dried, the courage to mention disappeared, and they could only grit their teeth secretly and struggle to support.

They have now completely understood that their identity, status, etc. will not work here, once they fall behind. The demon must not hesitate to give up on them. And until then. Think about where you belong to the ground beneath your feet. Alone, they are no different from suicide here......

In fact, these old aristocrats still haven't been able to fully figure it out. It was painful to follow Don, but the pain was only temporary. With Tang En leading the team, all the remote teleportation arrays in the Northern Realm were naturally at their disposal. In other words, they no longer have to go through painful overnight travel, and the time to go back to the south will be greatly reduced. What's more, if they go back a little earlier, they will lose less of their power in the south!

In a way. This is actually Tang En's subtle dedication with the help of the second prince and his party.

Originally, although Don was too strong before, he didn't explain it, but when the two teams were really not on the same team, the two sides were also people in the same boat. At this time, if someone is looking for trouble with the second prince and his party, it is also looking for trouble with Tang En, and he must take care of it.

It's just a pity that the curly-haired old nobleman was greedy for a while, and the older he gets, the more confused he becomes, and not only did he not get what he wanted. also put his old life into it, which is a model of death!

......

All right. The rush process is always boring. Let's take our eyes off here for a moment, and follow the direction of Don's shoes, south, south, and south......

But where there is power, there will always be a center that represents the importance of power, economy, and so on. From the nest of the village of bandits and water bandits, to the manor building of the aristocratic family. From the imperial city of the Northern Wilderness tribe to the royal castle of the Bran Empire.

And the Temple of Light, as a huge force that is in the same vein as the Bran Empire and depends on each other, naturally has its own center. The difference is only that the latter is not a political and economic center, but a theocratic center.

This difference will not diminish the slightest prestige of the temple, on the contrary, although the thousand-year temple with thousands of believers is stationed in one place, the potential impact is that it covers almost two-thirds of the area of the continent, which can be called terrifying!

Of course, this is before. After the northern part of Bran was controlled by the Gray Army, the power of the temple also shrank greatly along with the empire, and the rivers were declining, and now it can only affect the southern territory of Bran, and its majesty is not as good as before.

Perhaps, this is the real reason why the temple is still unwilling to fail after the empire is weakened, and secretly desperately calculates the gray army...... Without further ado, let's get back to the point and return to the theocratic center of this continent - the Shrine General Association!

Unlike the Northern Temple Branch, which was built on the plains of the wilderness and created a generous style of welcoming believers from all over the world, the Temple always seemed to disdain this kind of superficial pretentiousness, and the appearance was diametrically opposed, maintaining a rigorous distance from ordinary believers, and playing with a sense of mystery and majesty in a high-end atmosphere!

This is not a casual remark, just from the location of the temple association.

Hundreds of miles east of the royal capital, a huge lake as smooth as a mirror is boundless, rippling slightly. In the center, the only isolated island with a vast area stands outside, surrounded by no obstruction.

If you look at the isolated island from both sides of the lake, the faint mist surrounds it, condensed but not dispersed, and you can't help but feel a sense of yearning and worship.

The temple will be built on this isolated island. With the exception of a few piers on the shores of the lake and the boats that belonged to the temple alone, there was no passage or means of transport to reach the central island. In other words, no one would be able to get close to the shore and get a glimpse of the temple unless the temple always allowed it.

This style is not as good as the so-called country within a country!

However, this majesty seemed to the clergy of the General Assembly of the Temple, but to someone who had just landed on the island, it was no different from a prison, and it was still the kind that was all too familiar......

Sitting by the window, looking at the familiar environment around her, Xia Wei soothed the blanket on her lower abdomen, sighed lightly, and felt that things were wrong, very strange, and even boring and disgusting.

It stands to reason that this should not be the case, because she has been here for more than ten years, and except for a few forbidden places, she is familiar with every stone and tree on the island, including every building in it. Now is only a year or two away, and there should be no strange disgust. But......

Perhaps it is because of the different position I am in now, and then looking at this familiar scenery, whether it is the angle or the senses, it is also different, and naturally I no longer have the sense of admiration and respect in the past...... Thinking of this, Xia Wei'an couldn't help but shake her head lightly and sighed softly again.

That's when he said, "Huh. I'm going to be a mother. It's not okay to be in a bad mood. Jiao laughed. The door behind her was pushed open, and a young woman with a gorgeous face who was unwrapping a scarf around her head stood at the door, squinting and chuckling at Xia Wei'an, who looked slightly stunned, and said in a familiar tone, "Long time no see...... Ugly girl!"

"Mia!" exclaimed, and said the other party's name.

"Well, it's not bad. I haven't forgotten my old friend. The gorgeous young woman named Mia seemed to be satisfied with Xia Wei'an's reaction, her watery eyes narrowed again, and she smiled and nodded in agreement.

"It's really you, Mia!" Charvian showed the joy of reuniting with her old friend, and subconsciously got up, and the blanket on her lower abdomen and legs fell to the ground, "Where have you been all these years? I have looked for you, but I couldn't ......"

Before the words fell, the gorgeous young woman had hurried over and forcibly sat down on Xia Wei'an's shoulder. "Oh, I don't know how you're in good health, I thought you were the flower of a majestic knight. Why don't you sit down yet......"

While complaining, Mia picked up the blanket on the ground to dust off the dust and put it back on Xia Wei'an's bulging lower abdomen, "Of course I know you've looked for me before, but I don't want to see you, it's embarrassing." Obviously, we trained together in the Knight's Hall, but you became the flower of the famous knights, but I couldn't stick to it and became a mistress for the old man...... With such a big gap, what if we laugh at me again? Of course I have to avoid you......"

"Uh......" Xia Wei'an was stunned when she heard this, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly in defense, "How could I laugh at you......"

"The problem is that you won't laugh at me, but I'll laugh at myself even more. But you still really want to care about me, which makes it even more infuriating. After arranging the blanket in a huff, Mia suddenly raised her head, her eyes hid a sly smile, looked at Xia Wei'an, who muttered and didn't know how to explain, and covered her mouth and laughed, "Ha, it's a joke." I didn't expect that after so many years, you are still the same serious and wooden, I can't help but laugh!"

"Ahh I was just about to ask again along the topic just now, but I couldn't help but hesitate a little.

"Then you ...... now"

"It's still the old guy's mistress, it's a coincidence, but I didn't expect him to catch you this time. Mia didn't care much and spread her hands easily, "You know, once a clergyman is found to be having an affair with a woman, it is impossible for them to make progress in the temple. That old guy is the vicar, and he is only one step away from the cardinal, so of course he is reluctant to give up...... So I had to leave the temple and live in the place he had placed for me outside. Well, it's not bad, being served, and having no worries about food and clothing. ”

After a pause, he looked at Xia Weian and chuckled, "Speaking of which, he still has to thank you, otherwise he will have to be punished when he comes back this time." ”

"Thank me?"

"yes. That old guy led the elite mage group of the temple out this time, but not only did he fail to complete the task, but he also failed to pick up a few cardinal archbishops who went with him safely, can he not be punished? Fortunately, I caught you, which is considered a credit and demerit. ”

Such a reason for thanking Xia Wei made Xia Wei cry and laugh, but she was also familiar with the other party's personality and knew that there was no teasing in her words. just smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How can I have so much value, it should be the result of his own activities." ”

"You don't know?" Mia looked at Xia Vian rather strangely when she heard this, "Or do you not believe me, and think that I came this time to rely on friendship to trick you?"

"Uh...... What, what do you know?"

"Well, I don't think you really know. Mia looked at Xia Wei'an, who was dazed and did not look like a fake, and turned her head speechlessly, "Then I'll sue you, just because you were arrested, the Gray Army and the Northern Wilderness tribe have suspended their plan to attack the Bran Empire." Do you think you're worth much? Believe me, as long as this situation continues, they will be able to offer you as a Father. ”

"Ahh......h After being stunned for a moment, he subconsciously glanced at the room that was not luxurious but also quiet and clean, and nodded suddenly, "I see...... No wonder I was only in prison for a short time before I was sent here right away. ”

"More than that. Didn't you ask for a few experienced women to accompany you when you were caught?" Mia gestured to herself, "That's why I'm here." ”

"You?" Rao is Xia Wei'an was already extremely shocked now, and her eyes still widened when she heard this.

Seeing this, Mia immediately shouted dissatisfied: "Hey, what do you mean by this tone, look down on me, right? I'm already a mother of two children now, oh, hmph, if that old guy wasn't useful, I could have given birth to a cavalry squad." ”

"Uh...... Really?"

"Nonsense, of course it's true. It's still two boys, otherwise you think that old guy will keep raising me until now? By the way, do you remember what we talked about when we were young? I have no hope in my life, and I will be a mistress to an old man. You ......"

After a pause, looking at Xia Wei'an's bloated lower abdomen, Mia squinted and smiled, "I remember that the basic condition for you to choose a man is to surpass you in strength." Well, if you look at it this way, it will not only be able to overwhelm you in terms of strength, but also have the means of influencing the Gray Cloth Army and the Northern Wilderness Tribe...... Tsk, you also found an old man? Ha, now it's okay, none of us sisters have to laugh at each other now. ”

Xia Wei'an pursed the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and shook her head with a smile, "No, he is not an old man." He...... It should be smaller than me. By the way, I told him about you. ”

"Hah, don't hold on. I'm not going to laugh at you, at least for so many years of sisterhood, and I'm not going to laugh at you to your face...... Don't think that if I don't cultivate now, I don't know the situation. With the strength of your female tyrannosaurus, how many of the younger generation are your opponents?"

"No, he's really younger than me. Yes, swear in the name of God the Father!"

“......”

"Uh, what are you doing?"

“...... So many years of sisterhood...... Don't pull me...... You won't even give me a moment to laugh! Don't pull me...... I'm going to jump into the lake......"

“......”
