"Ryan, if I remember correctly, your ideal... is to fight for your family on the battlefield one day, right? Maybe hearing a story told by a bard makes you feel a little contemptuous, but I think, in fact, you There is also some longing in my heart, right?"
In the past, Sally, who was the focus of everyone, never took the initiative to speak, but because of the three reasons of "candidate priest", beautiful face and fast progress in divine arts, no one would ignore her serious words. So at this time, when Sally came out to smooth things over, the atmosphere at the dinner table calmed down almost immediately.
Obviously, in the eyes of these young people, although Sally kept silent most of the time, her words carried more weight than anyone else, but even so, Sally never put any pressure on Chris and the others. —Chris, Alizee and the others all showed a little relaxed expression after hearing what she said, because they knew that with Sally's words, Ryan and Booker would definitely not be able to continue arguing.
"I—forget it... If you don't want to listen, I won't talk."
They are all unreasonable bastards. Being able to come to the monastery shows that they are good young people who are "sensible". , lowered his head and gnawed the bread.
And Ryan was also hit by Sally, because he was indeed full of longing for "war" and "blood" as Sally said.
On weekdays, he always likes to talk about "knights" and "war" with others when he is free. To put it bluntly, he quarreled with Booker because the other party has attracted too much attention in the past few days and he was a little upset. There is actually no desire to do it. More importantly... If he denies Sally at this time, he will slap himself in the face. Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help being a little depressed, but he still whispered: "Those stories are too fake, real wars are not like this at all..."
His spearhead turned to the "bard" instead of Booker, which was obviously a form of softness in disguise.
Booker on the side chewed a few mouthfuls of bread and saw that Ryan closed his mouth, so he turned his face and nodded to Sally to express his gratitude, and then said: "It happens that we are going to the market after the prayers are over... Uh-look, Sally, do you want to go with us? After all, you haven't been out for a long time."
Knowing that Ryan didn't want to hear the word "bard", Booker winked and motioned, "Let's go and listen to the bard's story, together?"
"Thank you, I still can't." Sally shook her head, but looking at the sky outside the window, she remembered that her subordinates would come to the church to meet with her today, and felt that it was inappropriate for her to be so direct, so she changed her words: "... However, I will take you to the door of the church when the time comes."
"That couldn't be better." Chris took over the conversation with a smile, and the unpleasant atmosphere caused by the quarrel just now dissipated, and then the chat was about which store in the market area had better products, etc. topic.
Not far away, Bishop Benjamin, who came to the dining table with a letter in his hand, sat in front of the four priests. After praying softly before the meal, he picked up the bread for breakfast and asked, "What? What happened just now?" Something interesting?"
After listening to the explanations of several priests, the bishop, who is always tolerant to young monks and nuns, smiled and commented: "Lian's family has always advocated force. Complaining, he probably is under a lot of pressure, among these people, it is not without reason that he is the fastest to practice the magic of 'Retribution'."
"After all, it's a harmful divine art. Boys are always interested in it. But speaking of it, Sally's talent in the 'Benefit' divine art is really rare these years."
The priests talked about the practice progress of these young people. The bishop was very satisfied with the talents and determination of these children, but finally shook his head and sighed: "Although I see them progressing very fast, to be honest, I really don't want They're at war..."
He shook the letter in his hand, and the priest named Ethan next to him asked, "My lord, this letter?"
"Sent by Archbishop Rubens, he has already set off from the 'Holy Rose Temple' and should arrive here in half a month." Benjamin always smiles on weekdays, giving people a warm and warm feeling, but When he mentioned the name of the bishop to the priest, he looked serious, and said in a low voice: "But the road will not be peaceful, the 'Viper Cross' has released the news that the bishop is going to kill the bishop, this group of heretics Always keep what you say, Lord Rubens' journey... may be very dangerous."
"Should we ask the temple guards to make some preparations to meet and protect Lord Superintendent?"
"It should be so. I'm about to tell you these things. The guards on duty in the church today may need to go to the armory in the south of the city to assemble new weapons, so only the two people in front of the door are left." Benjamin put the letter on the Standing aside, he arranged the monastery's busy affairs today as usual, "Ethan, you go to visit Earl Tata and thank him for donating gold coins and food, Mulder, you go..."
This is what happens every day at the monastery clock. Benjamin made arrangements for the priests to be busy, and then came to Sally and the others to say hello, and casually tested the school's teachings. If these young people couldn't answer, He wasn't angry at all, he talked and laughed a few words, and then patiently explained.
The easy-going bishop, the studious monks and nuns, the quiet monastery... This is what Sally experiences every day.
...
Time passed like this, the sun gradually rose, and there were more people on the street, and there were also devout believers who came to the church to pray.
The structure of the monastery is very simple - near the street is a cathedral that can accommodate hundreds of people, with a height of about 20 meters. There is also a small kitchen for the soldiers in the palace, with firewood piled up next to it, and this is the whole building.
Today is not a regular Sunday, and not many people came to pray. In the early morning, the temple guards inside the church went to the armory collectively under the order of Bishop Benjamin, and then only two guards with swords were left on duty. If the strength is divided, these two guards are the lowest level of the temple guards in the "Rosie Crucible" army level-just judging by the player's standard, their level is not low, the basic level is 15, although they have not advanced It can be said that he is a relatively strong fighter in Houllier City.
The view in front of the church door is not very wide, and the two guards will occasionally patrol around the temple, but because no one has ever tried to attack here, they have long lost their original vigilance due to the repetitive work day after day . The gaze under the helmet is always lazy and tired, yawning from time to time, and doesn't pay much attention to any abnormalities on the street.
After all, in the entire territory of Efta, there are very few people who dare to confront the "Rose Cross". It was also because of this that they had no way of paying attention to the suspicious figures who had been passing by the street corner recently...
A guy wearing plain robes who looks like a believer is sitting in the shadow of a three-story residential building in front of the monastery. His slightly loose robe flutters in the breeze. Any difference is just a small package on the back.
Not far away, a fancy-dressed guy was holding a Viele in his hands and playing. Whenever a passer-by threw a coin into the hat in front of him, he would compliment him with a smile on his face, and then let it go with joy. In the black package in the corner behind him.
On the other side of the street, a fat man dressed as a traveling businessman was selling the trinkets he was wearing to passers-by. Some children surrounded him, and the fat man smiled and took out some snacks to distribute to these children. The naive appearance is very attractive to people.
These three people have been here for more than a week in a row. It is not considered "abnormal" at all, because it is very normal for bards, merchants and believers to appear in front of the monastery, but if you deliberately pay attention If these three people are involved, you will find that the distance between the three of them is not far from each other, but they form a triangle...invisibly enclosing the entrance of the church.
Time passed, and after the bell rang in the distance, it was around ten o'clock in the morning.
When Rody appeared on the street in front of the church, his image had completely recovered to his most powerful combat state—the unique shape of the "safari suit" attracted a lot of attention, but commoners often didn't think much of "adventurers" Interest, in this era, the xenophobia against "foreigners" is common, so Roddy is also happy to be at ease, without many unnecessary troubles.
Roddy didn't dare to rush in and name Sally, because he couldn't guarantee that Francis' eyeliner would doubt his identity, so he chose to do the second step of the original "Priest Nilda's Fall", based on the past The image and identity of an adventurer went to Benjamin to hand in the task, and by the way, he found an opportunity to meet Sally.
This kind of plan serves multiple purposes, so Rody walked all the way in a good mood, and at this time, humming the tune of the devil entering the village, he came to the monastery.
The guard standing lazily in front had already seen him. Rody reached out and took out the letter needed for the second step of the mission "Priest Nilda's Fall". He was thinking about how to speak, but when his eyes passed over the believers in front of the church, But the pace suddenly slowed down.
The tune of "Devils Entering the Village" changed to "Zhu Bajie Carrying His Wife". Luo Di continued to hum the messy tune, and then stopped completely. When he looked to the left and right, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Because he entered an "advanced area" like Houllier City, Rody also opened the "surrounding character status bar" on weekdays, so that although the specific levels, names, or attributes of the strangers around him would not be displayed, it could be blurred. It shows the level difference between the other party and yourself - if the level is low, the other party's "address" will be displayed in green; if the level is similar, it will be yellow; Red, when the difference in strength reaches a certain level, it will display black.
Most of the civilians in Houlier City are of a lower level than himself, only a small number of them are yellow, while the guards not far in front of them are bright red - this is normal, but what is abnormal is...he saw The bard not far away and the fat traveling merchant on the other side are both reddish, and the "believer" sitting in the corner is actually red and purple in color!
In addition, there are two unremarkable guys who are yellow with a level similar to his own.
Roddy narrowed his eyes, instinctively aware of something wrong.
