The hell-like rain of bone spears and arrows finally stopped, only a crisp sound of "Kaka..." was heard, and a person walked out of the shadow.
He was wearing a thick cloak, which covered most of his face. The long cloak was blown up by the wind and snow, making a whoosh sound, and a pair of black eyes shone brightly, which appeared against the white background of the sky and the earth. extremely dazzling.
The strangest thing is that this person does not walk by himself, but rides on the back of a skeleton, which walks like the wind at a very fast speed.
One of the guards of the Holy See had his shoulder blade pierced by a bone spear, and he was still alive for a while. He raised his head and opened his eyes, trying to see the figure in front of him clearly.
"You... who are you?" The soldier asked feebly, he wanted to die to understand.
Hei Ying didn't answer, but raised his hand in the air, wrapped in black mist, and after a while, a white bone spear appeared in the man's hand.
There was despair in the soldier's eyes, when he heard a very soft voice.
"I'm the necromancer you're looking for—Ron..."
After all, he raised the spear and dropped it, directly piercing the soldier's chest.
There was a clear and crisp sound, and the blood under the soldier's body stained the snow-white ground red.
The soldier's eyes widened with disbelief in his eyes. He pointed at Ron and said the last sentence of his life.
"No... no... can... can..., undead... mage... master... no... you... this... so... strong..."
After speaking, the soldier tilted his head and died.
"Really? I'm not a necromancer?" Ron murmured, with a thoughtful expression on his face, "Why does everyone say that? Could it be that they have seen a necromancer different from me? ?”
After thinking for a while, Ron didn't think of anything, so he just shook his head, "Forget it, don't think about it, just leave here first, I'm afraid it won't be good if the Holy See finds it..."
He neatly packed up the booty on the ground, and then quickly disappeared into the vast snow.
Heavy snow fell down one after another, and the corpses on the snow were gradually buried...
Gold Glitter Town, Holy Cathedral.
In the martial arts training ground behind the church, a series of booming sounds came out.
Father Aryan was fighting with a white-clothed boy in heavy armor. The two fought back and forth, especially fiercely.
Bursts of white light were released, dazzling like the sun, and the strong attack caused the ground to vibrate.
The boy in white was the main attacker, and the Aryan priest was the main defender. The two attacked one and defended, one attacked violently, and the other defended calmly. The fight was evenly matched.
The ground on the martial arts training ground has been cracked piece by piece, and there are crushed stones everywhere. There are a few servants around who are also watching nervously, whispering from time to time.
The young man in white armor was holding a two-handed sledgehammer in his hand. Judging from the size of the hammer, it was definitely not light, perhaps weighing more than a hundred catties. As if there was nothing there, a hammer hit it, and the ground immediately bloomed.
Father Aryan held a white jade-like scepter in one hand and a solid shield in the other. Under the attack of the boy in white, he retreated steadily.
"Look at the trick, the hammer of critical strike..."
The boy in white shouted loudly, jumped up high, and exerted all his strength. All the sacred power was poured into the heavy hammer in both hands. The heavy hammer emitted a strong white light, and the sacred power was unmatched.
Seeing this situation, Priest Aryan didn't hide it anymore, he might even be injured by this move if he was not careful.
"Power Word—Shield..."
When Father Aryan raised his white jade scepter, a transparent shield suddenly appeared beside Father Aryan. It protected the front, back, left, and right positions of Father Aryan, and it was impeccable.
"Boom..."
The heavy hammer with both hands hit the void shield summoned by the Aryan priest, emitting a dazzling holy light, and the entire martial arts field seemed to be shaken, a strong air flow radiated, and the surrounding attendants stood a little unstable.
"What a terrible attack..." said a servant with lingering fear.
"Your Excellency Guderian's strength has improved again..." another attendant said.
"However, Father Aryan is stronger..."
"Of course... Father Aryan is a teacher-level strength..." an attendant said proudly.
…
While the attendants next to him were discussing, Father Aryan stopped, raised his scepter and waved it, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, stop beating..."
The boy named Guderian also stopped when he heard the words, with a triumphant smile on his face.
Guderian, a paladin, is good at using a two-handed sledgehammer, and he is powerful. This time he came to the town of Gold, and he took the initiative to compete with Aryan.
Guderian has another identity, that is, the Holy Son of the Holy See. It is impossible for the Holy See to give a waste the status of a Holy Son. Anyone who can become a Holy Son is a genius.
Guderian entered the Holy See at the age of twelve, ten years, just ten years, has reached the pinnacle of the paladin profession, senior paladin, at this time, he is only twenty-two years old.
If he goes one step further, he can reach the division level, that is, a glorious paladin, and his future is absolutely limitless.
Facing the Holy Son Guderian, the Aryan priest did not dare to neglect him. The Holy Son has a very high status in the Holy See, and everyone must respect him. This is the rule.
"Your Excellency Guderian's martial arts has improved again. It seems that the day of becoming a glorious knight should not be far away..." Aryan smiled and said flatteringly. The red man in front of the pope.
"Hmph... Of course..." Facing Father Yad'an's flattery, Guderian was full of embarrassment, with an extremely arrogant look on his face, "What is a brilliant knight? Given time, I, Guderian It's not impossible for me to reach an unprecedented height, an honorary knight or even a holy knight, with my talent, you know, I'm only twenty-two years old now... "
Regarding his age and strength, Guderian seemed quite confident. He didn't put Aryan in his eyes at all. Priest Aryan was in his forties, and he was the strength of a teacher. It was too inferior.
The ranks of paladins are divided into apprentice paladins, paladins, brilliant knights, honorary knights, holy knights...
Among them, the glorious knight is at the division level, the honor knight is at the master level, and as for the holy knight, he is the legendary sanctuary powerhouse.
As for apprentice paladins and paladins, one is apprentice level and the other is soldier level.
Each level is divided into three levels. For example, Paladins are divided into three levels: Junior Paladins, Intermediate Paladins, and Advanced Paladins. The division, master, and even sanctuary are the same.
"Hmph, I'm not ashamed to say..."
Father Aryan snorted coldly when he heard this, and cursed secretly, "This guy is so proud, does he really think it is so easy to become a shining knight?"
Father Aryan's strength is that of the priest of light, that is, at the teacher level. His strength has been obtained through many trials and tribulations. Guderian is young and does not know how important it is. Knights, it seems that there is not much difference from the division level, but in fact, from the soldier level to the division level, that is the difference between heaven and earth, and it is not that easy.
Aryan scolded in his heart, but there was no disrespect on his face. He knew that the current Pope Ernst was very optimistic about him. He smiled and said, "Of course, at the age of His Excellency Guderian, The future is really limitless, and becoming a teacher is not very difficult."
"Well..." Guderian smiled proudly, "Aryan, your strength is not bad, you have survived my attack for so long, hehe, otherwise, you will use your healing technique..."
When Father Aryan heard this, he was so angry that he almost jumped up. This kid is so crazy that he can't even tell that he has kept his hand. Although your strength is very strong, it is easy for me to kill you , If it wasn't for His Majesty the Pope, I would have fucked you up long ago. I really thought you were invincible.
There is a huge gap between the sergeant level and the division level, and it is indeed not difficult for the Aryan priest to win.
Father Aryan's face twitched a few times, showing a rather reluctant smile, "Then...then...thank you, His Excellency Son Guderian, for your mercy..."
"Hehe..." Guderian waved his hand generously, he narrowed his eyes, "Um... hehe... Aryan, I think you are a good person, hehe, if I take any important position, I will definitely promote you yours!"
The Holy Son has a special status in the Holy See, and will definitely be reused by the Holy See, assuming an extremely important position.
There are more than one Holy Son and Holy Daughter in the Holy See, but they are also very few.
Father Aryan smiled with difficulty, "Then thank you, Your Excellency the Son..."
As Aryan spoke, he lamented the ruthlessness of the changes in the world. Guderian, who was originally just a poor commoner's child, was the third child in his family. He was one of the virgins he personally selected to be sent to the Holy See.
Guderian was also very competitive, not only becoming a candidate for the Holy Son, but also becoming the Holy Son, among whom the Aryan priest contributed a lot.
At that time, Guderian was very polite to Father Aryan, and he kept calling priests one by one, unlike now, calling him by his name directly.
It seems that when a person climbs to a high position and is used to flattery, he can easily become arrogant and conceited. Guderian is such an example.
After becoming the Holy Son, Guderian's attitude towards his guide and mentor, Father Aryan, became extremely disrespectful, as if scolding his own subordinates, bossing around.
From the moment he arrived in Gold Shining Town, Father Aryan, who was extremely happy, became extremely unhappy, and Guderian's arrogance made him even more depressed.
But Father Aryan still knew how to measure it. His Majesty the Pope wanted Guderian to come to Gold Shining Town this time, and he was fully responsible for this action. To put it bluntly, he was here to grab credit.
Necromancers have special significance to the Holy See. It is extremely rare to find necromancers in the Holy Roman Empire. This is not a small contribution. If this matter is done well, Guderian is very likely to rely on this matter to rise to power , or even hold an important position.
Saying that it was reported to the Holy See, he could only deceive an idiot like Geralt. Father Aryan would not do such a thing. After learning from the bearded man that Ron was indeed a necromancer, Aryan was so excited He didn't sleep well for several days and nights, and he thought that the credit should belong to him alone.
He immediately sent his subordinates, that is, the gang of Holy See guards, to hunt Ron around. Through some clues, he learned that Ron had gone to the dark forest, and Aryan led people to search without stopping.
However, the weather at this time was already winter, the wind was fierce, and the snowflakes were flying. How could the pampered Aryan priest endure such suffering.
Father Aryan searched for a few days without finding anything, and gradually lost his patience, so he had to find an excuse to go home and warm himself by the fire. Another point, he didn't believe that Ron could survive in such a harsh environment in the dark forest, and he might have died long ago. But it seemed a pity to give up this credit, and had to order those Holy See guards to continue searching, making these Holy See guards miserable.
But what makes him depressed is that the guard of the Holy See who entered the dark forest disappeared for some reason. Now that the mountain is covered by heavy snow, there is no way to find the body. Ann went to Gold Shining Town to preside over the task of arresting heretics.
Aryan was clear about this, the pope's anger was false, and it was true to make excuses. This involved the struggle of the upper echelons of the Holy See. Aryan didn't know the specific reason. Father Aryan was quite happy when he sent Guderian. After all, he was the holy son whom he held out with his own hands, but now he wanted to send this arrogant guy away as quickly as possible.
