CHAPTER XXXI
However, the Holy Alliance has been established for thousands of years, and it is difficult to find some clues from the erased history, and it is only possible to have a little luck in addition to being meticulous.
However, the most important thing Chen Fusheng lacks now is time, Dancheng is a product, at least three or four hundred years of longevity, the true water of the Northern Darkness nourishes the body, and the Kunpeng bloodline obtained from the wind has a miraculous effect on longevity, as long as there is no big fork in practice, there is a great hope to live for thousands of years, these things can be operated slowly without being in a hurry, even if you can't find out any information at that time, you can directly ask the Rose royal family with the magic power of Tongtian.
Until they reach this point, these two coins would be better kept secret, as Latour said.
Chen Fusheng stood with his hands in his hands, rubbing the tulip pattern under the cover of his sleeve robe, and looked at the coat of arms in front of him with interest, the bottom was a yellowed parchment scroll, more than a dozen lines of square text were like iron casting knives engraved on it, the top seal was slowly facing the lower right side of the parchment, and the most striking thing was in the middle of the coat of arms, which was a black iron base bronze balance as a tray, and in the middle was a strange symbol inlaid with Mithril.
This is the name of the God of Contract and Justice. Adam, the housekeeper of the Owen family, was an unusually quiet middle-aged man, and when he saw Chen Fusheng's gaze resting on the Mithril seal in the middle of the scale, he reminded thoughtfully: " Like many Templars and Priests, the mercenary is said to have been the predecessor of the title Guardian of the Faith of the God of Contract and Justice, and the mercenary at that time was a very high-level professional, even more difficult than becoming a magician in some ways, requiring proficiency in at least one weapon, proficiency in the use and maintenance of multiple weapons, proficiency in the use and maintenance of various weapons, proficiency in the use of lingua franca and any other ethnic language to communicate with people, and proficiency in stealth, tracking, counter-tracking, and detection of traps and poisons, as well as a variety of survival skills, such as identifying weather directions, geography, minerals, botany, and zoology, which only druids and alchemists can not be proficient in but must be extensive。 ”
"Of course, the most important thing is to swear under the emblem of this god of contract and justice to fulfill the promise and contract for the rest of your life, and value justice more than your own life, otherwise it will be the same as the priest and knight who betray their faith, and their strength and even their lives will be counterattacked. Shaking his head and looking at no one around, Adam lowered his voice and said: "It is completely different from the current situation where a professional is qualified to be called a mercenary as long as he registers in the mercenary union for a certificate, there is no risk of this kind of faith backlash, and even the most basic word of mercenaries cannot be guaranteed, the most important thing for them is only gold coins, and the larger mercenary groups also pay more attention to reputation, and other mercenaries are the most appropriate to describe them as practical adventurers, so be careful when hiring them." ”
Before this, Claudia and Vito brothers and sisters were bent on improving their strength, and they had never had the experience of traveling, although Chen Fusheng was strong, but in order to avoid exposing strangeness in their conversations, when they first met Viscount Mars, Chen Fusheng showed that he and Ao Li were also washed near the whaling ship in a storm when they first went out on an adventure, so this Adam butler was specially left by Viscount Owen to take care of his daughter, and at this time he took this opportunity to secretly mention Chen Fusheng.
In fact, he didn't understand why his young lady had to come to such a mixed place, although it was against the Loire River from Nantes to the Imperial Capital, but for both the Owen family and the Mena family, sending Claudia and her party to the imperial capital smoothly was just a trivial matter, and it was really not good, and it could also follow the caravan of the Rose Chamber of Commerce.
In the end, he could only think that Claudia had practiced martial arts and fighting spirit for many years, and wanted to seize the opportunity to show some of them, or that he was attracted by the legends and stories in the bard's mouth and wanted to emulate one or two. Although this is different from the usual personality and style of the young lady he grew up watching, Claudia is young after all, and it is not uncommon for her to have this kind of thought, in his opinion, it is much better than those noble young masters who only know how to eat, drink, and have nothing to do.
In fact, Claudia also used the reason that martial arts need to be tempered, and Vito also needs to increase experience, convincing both Mas Mena and Kyle Owen.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, I would be able to meet friends who know my god in this place in Nantes. ”
With a sigh of emotion, steady footsteps slowly came from behind Chen Fusheng and Adam.
Adam turned around suddenly, his face was a little blue, he was also a mercenary before working for the Owen family, about the relationship between mercenaries and the god of contract and justice, he happened to hear a high-level mercenary who had awakened the origin mention, he had been rolling and crawling in the rain of knives and arrows for seven or eight years, but he did not leave any serious injuries, let alone be crippled, and he could retire with all his beards and tails, he naturally has outstanding characteristics, relying on one is cautious and the other is an innate keen sense of danger, just because he was sure that there were no outsiders staying here to let go, but he didn't expect that someone actually listened to what he said completely。
Although he only knew fewer people about these things, and there were no blasphemous remarks, the strength of the other party alone was enough to shock him.
"This person should almost have Dancheng's strength, right?"
Appearing in front of Chen Fusheng and the two of them was an old man with gray hair and an abnormally old age, although his body was thin and thin, it seemed that a gust of wind could blow him down, but there was a divine light in his eyes, and his body released a sharp and fierce sword intent to repel the three feet of his body, and a linen robe swelled up, swelling like a ball, and the old man glanced at each other, Adam only felt a tingling pain in his eyes, almost wanted to shed tears, and his skin was like a needle prick.
Chen Fusheng touched his chin and looked at the person with interest, Adam didn't find this person, but he couldn't hide his divine sense, but he didn't think that Nantes was actually Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon before he came to the mercenary union.
Previously, the Vito brothers and sisters had indicated that in addition to the priests and priests of the Queen Church of the Sea and Storm Gods, the most powerful person in Nantes was only the president of the Magic Association, a high-level silver magician, and even the chief knight of the Mena family, Winde, was only a middle-level silver before he broke through.
And Chen Fusheng enveloped Nantes City with the sound of Xiao that day, and probed the strength of the monks of Nantes City through the ripples of the qi machine, and the conclusion he obtained was also consistent.
But he didn't expect that there was actually a gold-level powerhouse hidden in the small mercenary union, which is a bit interesting, you must know that in addition to the sea and storm god queen church, the temple church has the power of the gods to protect him from the somewhat hazy perception, even the magic arrays and magic tools in the magic association can not block his vision.
How did a gold-level professional hide his divine thoughts that day?
If he was in that world, he would naturally not be unusual, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism have countless miraculous secret techniques, and the Demon Sect is no exception, he cultivates a mystical sect, which has a mysterious effect on covering up the appearance and the aura of the surrounding environment, and it is not strange for others to practice similar supernatural powers.
However, the vitality of this world is manifested, based on the four elements, and the cultivation system derived from this is also much more extensive, although the progress is fast and powerful, but it is much worse in terms of subtle control of how to control the power in the body and how to converge the aura.
Moreover, the sword intent emanating from this old man's body is also going all the way strongly, although the other party has cultivated to the point of priority, rigidity and softness, but it is impossible to do this step at all.
"Is it because of this thing?"
Chen Fusheng's eyes narrowed, staring at the plain black iron badge on the other party's chest, and the scratches were not hidden under the oil and dust, but became more and more obvious.
This badge has exactly the same pattern as the coat of arms that Chen Fusheng saw before, of course, any mercenary who has registered in the mercenary union will be issued such a badge, but except for those low-level mercenaries whose strength is too low, few people keep it, and most of them are immediately replaced by the coat of arms of their own adventure team or mercenary organization.
However, Chen Fusheng felt a strange fluctuation on this rough badge, obscure but powerful and abnormal.
Subconsciously took advantage of Kunpeng's discerning eyes, wanting to take a clear look at this special item.
A white light suddenly bloomed in front of the old man's chest, and all Chen Fusheng could see was a scale, but it was much more delicate and gorgeous than the one on the badge, and a frank and open-minded aura was revealed, suppressing all the sword qi on the old man's body that seemed to be able to split mountains and boiling waters.
"Huh?!"
This change was obviously unexpected by the old man, he touched the badge on his chest, the brilliance gathered, and he moved his gaze from the butler Adam to Chen Fusheng, put his palm on his empty waist, drew his sword in a gesture, made a gesture on his chest, and bowed his head slightly, " Are you the one who was invited to the temple by the bishop of the Storm Church, I've heard those boys mention your name many times in the guild these days, and they all say that you are a gold-level bard, and you are really powerful, why did you come to a place like the mercenary guild with your strength?"
Without answering his question, Chen Fusheng looked at the badge on his chest again, and asked curiously: "Could it be that you are a believer in the God of Contract and Justice, but he has already ......?"
"That's right, my god has indeed fallen a long time ago, otherwise the mercenaries would not have fallen into such a situation. The old man nodded calmly, without the slightest irritation that his faith was insulted, pointed to his chest, and said: "But as long as the world believes in the sanctity of the contract, as long as the heart of justice is endless, my god will never perish, compared to these kingdoms of God and the names of gods are illusory foreign objects." ”
The badge on his chest once again glowed with a faint white light, as if it was testifying to the old man's words.
"Although your strength is not low, you should not be able to say such a thing, may I ask where its real source is......"
After savoring it, Chen Fusheng shook his head, this kind of statement is not very unusual in the world he came from, but in this world, the taboo of saying it is much more serious than Adam's few gossip, it is hard to imagine that it comes from the mouth of this pious disciple who is obviously the god of contract and justice.
However, to a certain extent, this does point out the essence of the existence of the gods, if it is really the old man in front of him who has personally comprehended it, it is absolutely impossible for the strength to be limited to the golden level.
"It's my mentor, a powerful swordsman who has awakened to his origins. The old man's face was slightly gloomy, "Of course, his old man died fifty years ago to fulfill the contract, so don't mention it, but you don't seem to have answered my question yet." ”
Chen Fusheng smiled and didn't answer, this time he was to accompany Claudia and the others to the mercenary union to register an adventure team, and to take on a few tasks of moderate difficulty to cultivate the awareness of battle.
However, Chen Fusheng didn't think that this old swordsman who was still in the hall didn't know this, obviously he just wanted Chen Fusheng to say it himself, although the strength of the other party was not in Chen Fusheng's eyes, but Chen Fusheng, who had experienced it once, naturally knew that it was not so simple after involving the gods, even if the other party didn't know how long it had fallen, there were almost no believers on the Norland Continent.
"I'm dying. ”
Seeing that Chen Fusheng didn't answer, the old man said to himself: "It has been fifty-six years since I became a mercenary at the age of fifteen and left my hometown, and I don't know how many battles I have experienced, and now I am finally about to usher in a peaceful death. ”
Chen Fusheng nodded, although the lifespan of the monks in this world is still greater than that of mortals, it is extremely polarized. Elves and other high-level bloodline monks can easily live for hundreds of years, but because the cultivation system of this world is too biased and not good at cultivating their own bodies, even if they have strong strength with diligence and chance understanding, their lifespan is not much lower than the former, and the longest is only two or three hundred years.
"But I have another regret that I didn't find a suitable owner for this badge. Removing the badge from his chest, the old man said: "When I left my hometown, I vowed never to return. So I chose Nantes as the place where I met my mentor, hoping to find someone who was qualified to inherit this badge. It's a pity that Nantes is too small to have any outstanding people, and their hearts are indeed too far behind as he says, contrary to the doctrine of the God of Contract and Justice. ”
"I have a companion of noble status, outstanding talent, and good heart, she has come today to become a mercenary, and I think the old gentleman will be satisfied with her. ”
