"I'll see who they are. Austin looked at it, saw a few people above, looked at Charlotte suspiciously, and said, "This is a very dangerous thing, but the people who are going to go must have enough ability, for me personally, I don't want anyone to die here." These people, don't go yet. ”

As he spoke, Austin wrote down the names of several people and said, "Let these people go, trust the others more or less, and use other people more." ”

"But......" Charlotte said after a moment's hesitation, "yes, I see." ”

Just after everyone had left, Austin hadn't relented when Hawthorn arrived. As for the reason why Hawthorn came, Austin naturally knew it, and generally speaking, he should have come earlier.

"Your Highness"

"General Hawthorn, what's wrong?" Austin asked.

"I can't say anything about the Holy Maiden, but I can tell you that our purpose is the same, and we will not cause any damage to Your Highness. Hawthorn said.

"Well, I didn't suspect anything. I know what you mean, to be honest, there is a lot of tacit understanding between us. There are a lot of things that you don't really have to say to me, Gray's thing, and I won't stop it. Because that's his responsibility, but I'm not going to dictate anything to you. Austin smiled and said.

After hearing Austin's words, Hawthorn thought about it, and wondered if Austin was angry when he said this. However, it shouldn't be angry.

"However, there are some things that have been overdone and always have to pay a price. Otherwise, some can't be justified. Can you take a tour of the Magic Forest?" Austin asked, "Of course, not for you to go inside the Magic Forest, but to make a tour of the periphery to see if there are any changes." ”

Hawthorn nodded and said, "Yes, since you need me to lead the team, you have other ideas, what to do?"

After hearing Hawthorne's words, Austin smiled and said, "I just mean that you and I have the most tacit understanding." If I can, catch a monster and come back, I need to study it. ”

Hawthorn nodded and said, "Investigate deeply, or arrest?"

"......," Austin said after hearing and thinking about it, "If you can, focus on capture, since the beast tide is close to breaking out, I don't believe that a single monster has escaped from it, but it really can't be touched, just turn around." ”

"Your Highness's requirements for us are really low. Hawthorn said.

Austin didn't think so, to be honest, at this time, it is not a good choice to let them get close to the magic forest, it can be said that this sacrifice can be avoided, but Austin thinks that if you can catch a live magical beast, in terms of research, it is definitely more reliable than a dead one.

"The requirements are not low, even if this is the case, I can only breathe a sigh of relief if you all come back alive. Now that you're in the lead, you're going to let me breathe a sigh of relief. Austin said.

"All you can say is, do your best. ”

"That's enough. ”

Austin didn't intend to hide anything about the saint's coming to town three days later, so it was better to take this opportunity to reassure those who were uneasy because of his bad relations with the church, after all, the saint's prestige on this continent was much higher than that of the king.

Therefore, three days later, the holy woman came to the town with the knights, and the villagers were inexplicably excited, and came out early, waiting for the arrival of the holy woman.

"Wow, there are really a lot of people, it seems that the prestige of our Holy Maiden is really high. Austin said as he watched his townspeople run out to see the saint.

"Probably because His Highness has seen too much, after all, everyone is used to seeing it on the street every once in a while, so when the holy woman comes, everyone is curious to take a look, which is normal. Charlotte said.

"Although I have already seen the Holy Maiden, she was disguised at that time, so she should not be disguised when we meet today. Austin said.

"Well, it is rumored that the saints of the past generations are all great beauties. ”

"Well, I got interested. Austin made a joking remark and went to the conference hall with everyone.

"Your Highness"

"The Holy Maiden"

Sure enough, the saint she saw before was disguised, and the saint she saw in Austin at this moment was gorgeous and holy, worthy of being the spokesperson of the church, at least when she saw the saint Austin herself, she felt that her heart was sacred.

After the two met and exchanged words, Austin said, "Please be seated." ”

"Your Highness, it's really impressive, this place is no longer like a small town, but in time, it can definitely become a metropolis. Your town already has the potential to be a metropolis. The saint said complimentally.

"After all, it will take time, the beast tide is coming, and if you don't deal with them, everything will be in vain. Austin said.

"The Beast Tide is indeed our current worst enemy, and I admire His Highness's willingness to share the gunpowder. Therefore, we are also willing to share our techniques against the beast tide with His Highness, as well as some knowledge of the beast tide. "But what we want is not gunpowder, but the formula of gunpowder." ”

These have been negotiated before, and there are no surprises on both sides, but some of the remaining things are starting to be troublesome, after all, Austin's idea is to sell gunpowder to the church, but the saint wants to get the formula for gunpowder.

"The recipe for gunpowder is our top secret, and about this, sorry, the recipe is not in the scope of the trade. Austin said.

"There is no deal that cannot be made, only chips that cannot be paid, Your Highness, what do you want to know? Just say it, I know it, and I will tell you. In the church, I don't know much. The holy maiden spoke, "We are all preparing for the beast tide, we have been preparing for hundreds of years, and we can say that we have done our best, but, Your Highness, your time is much more precious, let's not waste time." Time is really running out. ”

"Well, we have several demands: First, the appointment of the administrators of the churches in the territory is to be given to us. Second, we may change the doctrine as appropriate in the circumstances. Thirdly, the gunpowder formula can be provided, however, it needs funds from the church to buy, half a million gold coins. Austin said.

"You're opening your mouth widely. Said the man from the Holy Maiden's team.

"This thing, since I dare to sell so much, is because it is definitely worth this money. To put it mildly, this thing, no matter which force it is, is not for sale. Austin said.
