While the wizard was in full swing with a conspiracy to trap the Duke to death, the wizard and the Edmont family were undisturbed during this time. []

If he gave up his plan to fight the Night Mask because of his quarrel with the Serles, and even plunged Simon into deeper turmoil because of this, it would undoubtedly be more than worth the loss in the eyes of Bishop Qajar.

In particular, he knew Penny's identity well, and he knew that this conflict could not be easily resolved, so he was even more worried.

As the minions of the righteous lord, the higher the priest, the more similar the temperament of the lord to the lord, because the priests use to perform divine magic is the methodology of the god to which they belong - the deeper and more correct the practice and understanding of this methodology, the stronger the power of the clergy, and the higher the status in the church.

For this reason, devout believers who bow down to the same doctrine may not have known each other before, but they will definitely understand something.

As the chief of the temple guard and the paladin favored by Tyr, Serra naturally knew a little about the archbishop's troubles, so when the archbishop saw the paladin fully armed in front of him, he was also stunned for a moment; Lady Grofia, the night is over. ”

In order to keep Simon safe at night, the warriors of the Temple of Tyre volunteered to patrol every night, as the captain of the guard, Kira naturally had to set an example, day and night was commonplace, early in the morning she had just finished cooking, but after sleeping for three hours, she put on her armor again, and her face was still a little haggard.

The archbishop was a little puzzled by this;" There are no new tasks for today. ”

"No, but I can't just rest like that, Bishop, I know you have troubles, and I can help you. Sierra shook her head.

"Troubled?" the archbishop's eyebrows moved, and he quickly understood what Serra meant, and lowered his eyebrows and sighed; Serra, this might be a good opportunity. ”

"Yes, great opportunity. "Sierra bowed respectfully;" My Lord, I will persuade him to end his dispute with the red-robed mage as you wish. ”

"No, it's not. The archbishop shook his head, his eyes fixed on the paladin; I didn't mean that, Grofia, I can often feel your hesitation these months, and that former red-robed mage has a special place in your mind. ”

"Please believe that my faith is not shaken. The archbishop's gaze and tone of voice frightened Serra, and she raised a hand with a pale face and assured in a serious manner.

"I know, I know, Serra, I know you're a good boy, but there are emotions that can seriously interfere with our position, and I've wanted to ask for a long time... ・・Although it is very presumptuous to ask questions about personal feelings. Khazar hesitated; But please believe that this is to better serve our Lord. ”

"Please give me a lesson. Serra saluted respectfully again.

Khazar waved his hand;" Knight Grofia, have you figured out what to do with this relationship?"

"I... Her face continued to change, revealing hesitation in her heart, and the corners of her mouth were twisted especially when she was bitten by big teeth.

"I don't mean anything else. "Sensing that the paladin had misunderstood, the archbishop raised his palm;" I hope that you should have a clear choice, whether you give up or seek, and that hesitation is not a good way to deal with it. ”

Serra was stunned for a moment, then nodded, said goodbye to the archbishop who sighed at her back, and hurried to the mage tower where the wizard lived.

"Dear Mr. Diesel, I think we haven't seen each other for a while. The polite greeting at the meeting made Penny know that the paladin had come on business, and the mood of anticipation that was inexplicably strange and anticipatory cooled a little bit, and he also ordered the apprentice to serve tea with a somewhat helpless smile.

"Our Lord Bishop has sent me to consult on how you are going to deal with the dispute with the Serre Concession?" The smile on the wizard's lips made Serra's mood a little uncomfortable, but a sense of fear that the divine grace could not resist made her choose to continue to retreat from these feelings; You know・This will seriously interfere with the fight between us and the Night Mask, and most of the eyes of the people in Westgate City are watching you, which is not good for our cause. ”

Serra's face was worried, too;" You know, Lord Diesel, if you attract a high-level red-robed mage from the Searle Country, then there will be changes in this area, and a legendary mage may not be able to conquer Simon, but he can destroy many things. ”...,

"Oh?" Penny, who knew the style of the red-robed mage, thought that Serra's worries were unreasonable, not to mention the intricate factional power in the red-robed mage guild that outsiders could not figure out, even those legendary mages might not be willing to move their noble bodies because of this kind of thing, not to mention that he had actually controlled the Searle Concession, and no matter how big the trouble here was, it would not be possible for Searle to spread in a short time.

And by the time the news reached Kiel, it was estimated that it had subsided for a long time.

If the slightly inferior red-robed mages came, Penny would not be afraid of them now.

Today's Penn Diesel is not a miserable petty official on the edge of a country, in the area of the Dragon Coast, he has a considerable amount of power in his hands and secretly There is also a mage tower that can greatly strengthen his strength, and he has a lot of eyes, ears and foreign aid, under the protection of such power, even if a seat-level archmage comes, he has to think carefully before planning to kill Penny.

This is already a rather difficult bone to gnaw.

A long time ago, Penny understood that the battle between mages, the difference in the magic attainments of several levels was really not a decisive factor, and there were not a few high-level mages who died at the hands of the low-level spellcaster during the head-on battle, after all, the body of the mage who broke that layer of skin was not stronger than that of ordinary people.

The same is true in Serge, where the chiefs are able to drive him more because of his group of minions all over the country, compared to which Penny's strength is neither strong enough nor loyal enough, and of course there is only one way to break under that level of blow.

But after this period of operation, Simon has now become half of Penny's home field, and Serre's high-ranking red-robed people have worked hard to bypass Agralon's ears and eyes, with the surveillance of the minions of various hostile camps, and have traveled thousands of miles to the west coast of the Falling Star Sea.

And if they dare to make a big splash and don't use Penny to deal with them, there will naturally be some behemoths to deal with these red robes, and if they make small moves in the shadows, he is not afraid.

This is also the reason why the wizard dared to take advantage of the Serre Concession at this time.

But he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to spread the word about the evasion, even if it wasn't for the duke's taugur who was lurking somewhere in the West Gate and hadn't yet shown his head, he didn't want the fact that he was controlling the Searle Concession to be widely known.

He had a hunch that the power of the righteous summons would eventually be irreconcilable with him.

He knew this from the time Bishop Khazar recruited the paladins of Lansendel, and the new order that Khazar was trying to establish was probably not something he could accept, needless to say, if the rulers of the city had become messengers of the good gods, he, a conspirator who had accumulated power and sought hegemony, would certainly have nothing to sing.

Penny had full confidence in Serra's piety, "That is, he didn't have any hope for the secrecy of the paladin, he never asked for it, and she didn't promise it, so he knew very well that Bishop Khazar definitely knew that he was a former red-robed mage, and if he really let these good god messengers take power, no matter how much power he put into power, he would only be marginalized out of Simon's power."

Not only does he have to deal with the biggest obstacle in front of him, the Mask of Night, but he also has to reserve some secret hands, ready to squeeze the power of these good gods out of the West Gate.

So he chose to hide it, and of course, in the face of his allies, he would also be grateful;" Thank you very much for your concern, but I will not compromise on this, and the Serge Concession will have to pay the price for what they have done. ”

"You're crazy!" said Serra, eyes wide, leaning over to bring her face close to Penny, who could smell the scent coming from the collar of the paladin's armor; You know, with your status, they're really going to recruit high-ranking red robes for this. ”

"And what should I do?" the wizard said, " They've found a flaw, so it's only a matter of time before they bring in a high-level red robe, so I have to take action. ”

"That's not the way to do it. Sierra shook her head; Whichever side you are on, sir, you know that if you keep fighting them, the consequences can only be like that. ”

"Do you have a better way?" the wizard raised his eyebrows and brought the teacup to his lips......

"I have. Sierra nodded, looking at Penny's face gravely; Depart from Simon. ”

The solemnity of the paladin made the wizard frown, and he put down his teacup; Serra, this joke isn't funny. ”...,

"It's the only way to go. She looked at Penny intently;" Leave Simon, at least superficially, and let Ms. Edmont give up the pursuit, and things will settle down. ”

"But it's not a good idea. The wizard shook his head and turned his gaze into the distance.

There is only a small shadow under the mage tower at noon.

Serra followed the wizard's gaze to the shadow, turned back again, and sighed slightly; You ・・・・・・ I know what you want, but it's too difficult, you know how hard your enemies are. ”

For the first time, a sad look appeared on her face, and she reached for Penny's wrist; I would like to ask you... ・・Change your plans, okay?"

"Change your plans?" the wizard's heart moved.

"The people of the Dragon Coast need a bright order, not a careerist who will drag them into war. Serra's eyebrows tightened deeply, and she shook her head; With all due respect, I was happy when I knew you were leaving that country, but you still changed, whether it was your style of doing things or something else. ”

She raised her head, her gaze paused on the upper floor of the mage tower, as if she sensed something, her eyelids slightly twitched, then lowered her head, and sighed slightly.

"Serra, we're still friends. Penny tilted his head.

"Of course. The paladin nodded solemnly.

"Aren't friends supposed to respect each other?"

"Not exactly. Sierra shook her head more solemnly; By the will of the Father of Justice, you are my friend, and although I respect you, I would rather be able to influence you into our camp, and I do not want hatred to dominate your will, and bring greater calamity to the innocent, and it is also a pain for you. ”

The wizard was speechless, he looked at Serra, who had an expectant look on his face, and finally shook his head; I'm really sorry. ”

He didn't have that big heart, and he could only regret what Serra had said.

An expression of disappointment, confusion, and pain appeared on her face for a moment, and she let go of the hand that was covering Penny's wrist, got up and turned her head, and staggered towards the door, and the wizard felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and spoke again; Not to think I have the idea of involving this country in a war. ”

As for starting a war, with a total of only about 200,000 local populations on the Dragon Coast, needless to say that there are only three million Seres with a human population alone, no country in the surrounding areas can be easily provoked by the Dragon Coast.

This additional explanation made the holy warrior slightly startled, and she stopped, she turned to look at the wizard's calm face, a trace of blood appeared on her pale face, and she was silent for a long time before she nodded; Thank you. ”

Penny's heart widened slightly.

"If you take action that could lead to that outcome, as a friend, I'll stop you. As if remembering something, Serra frowned again and added.

She turned away, her steps becoming steady, and the wizard was slightly upset, and he rubbed his wrist, which had been slapped by Seramo, and sighed again.

At the same time, on the balcony of the upper floor of the Mage Tower, a woman stared intently at the wizard's wrist and eyelids throbbing violently from the place where it could not be seen from the outside due to the heavy spells.

She was dressed very thinly, as if she had deliberately made a very lazy appearance, but when this beautiful face was full of anger, it seemed to have turned into a murderous female leopard.

Seeing her tightly clenched, trembling fists, Hiccol and Nephess in her arms sat on the other side of the bed, terrified.

"What is that, the paladin of Tyre?" Lannie's tone was full of anger; Hell, our Sean-sama is really a disgruntled guy who dares to touch any woman. ”

"That person... "Hiccor hesitated, but decided to tell the truth; It seems that they met before Penny joined the company, and they have been good friends for a long time. ”

"What! you know!" Lanny's eyelids twitched again, and she raised her fist with a look of great grievance; Why am I the only one who doesn't know?"

Hiccol and Nephelis looked at each other and shook their heads silently, a fool would know what kind of sparks a holy warrior loyal to the good god would burst out of when he met a temple warrior who had just been displaced from the Black Hand tyrant's camp.

Lannie's reaction has apparently confirmed this.

She quickly put on the night suit she used to sneak in, and since she reached Simon, she hadn't gotten a new suit of armor, after all, she didn't go out often, and she didn't need it - more importantly, she was no longer used to heavy metal armor, and it was lighter to wear, but easier to move.

For example, when you kill someone.

Seeing Lanny find the greatsword and dagger and carry them on her body, Nephis hurriedly ran up; What are you going to do, Mistress Lannie?"

"And ask?" Lannie raised an eyebrow; Of course, to hack this woman to death, and to look at her idiotic appearance as a messenger of justice, I will not allow her to have any unclear relationship with my things. ”

Although she has escaped from the gods, as a temple warrior who once respected the evil precepts, she has a hostility to the good camp in the depths of her heart.

Nephies opened her mouth to say something, but Lanny threw her away; Don't worry, she doesn't know me, and I hacked to death and I don't know who to go to take revenge, so you can rest assured. ”

A dizzy Nephis got up from the bed, but seeing that the Black Knight had already left, she and Hiccol looked at each other for a while, and went to the balcony to greet the mage, but saw that Penny no longer knew where to teleport.
