After saying goodbye to the rector, Ofra left the room quickly and neatly, while Hao Ren remembered who this "Marshal Ofrah" was after recalling it for a while.
Except for the church which has great influence but does not participate in secular power, the Kingdom of Holleta has three supreme powers, the leader is the current king Moroen, and the rest are two important ministers, civil and military, who serve as the king's right-hand man. One is Prince Haverman, the supreme administrator of the kingdom, and the other is Marshal Ophra, the kingdom's number one military force known as "Iron General".
Yes, that young woman who just left, the best puncher in the country — in theory.
Hao Ren had heard information about the kingdom's current ruling class from various channels before, and he also knew about Marshal Ovra, but he never expected that the other party would be such a young man who looked a year or two younger than him Woman, when he first heard about the title of "No. 1 Person in the Kingdom's Armed Forces", he thought that the other party would be a big and round eight-foot villain—just like Yzaks, it would be better if there were two hairtail tattoos on his shoulders.
So now he was completely stunned, and it took him a long time to realize that it was the big man who left the room just now: one of the most powerful people in this country, the leader of all the knights of the kingdom, a young-looking Beautiful woman, apart from her military demeanor, that Marshal Ofrah doesn't feel any powerful at all. "My dear... big man," Lily stuck out her tongue, but her exclamation stopped there. She glanced at Becky, "You seem to admire her?"
Betsy's head clicked like it was on vibrate mode. Standing by the side, Hao Ren felt like he was in a hurry...
Hao Ren also wanted to inquire about the situation of Marshal Ovra, but now seems not the time. The rector of Girton next to him was still hanging by them. He looked at the emaciated old man who seemed likely to go back to see the goddess at any time: "Then what. We've finished reporting the situation..."
The old man nodded slowly, his voice seemed weaker than before: "Thank you for your information, it is very timely and very important, tomorrow I will send ascetic monks to check the situation in the mountains, and see what happened to the crack scene you mentioned What happened. Take a good rest in the town tonight, you should be quite tired too."
Hao Ren nodded, but he still had something to say: "Will those stone men run out from here? We also encountered monsters on the east side of the mountain road. They seem to be going to the grassland. It's best to take precautions there." .”
"The Knights of the Church and the Knights of the Kingdom will take care of everything." The rector waved his hand. Hao Ren's status here is just a group of mercenaries who have just arrived, so there is no need for him to discuss many things with the group in front of him. Hao Ren also thought of this himself, so he suppressed more doubts in his heart. Vivian remembered something: "By the way, we are going to the Blood Lake. It seems that we need to get a pass from you?" "To the Holy Lake?" The rector raised his wrinkled eyelids and looked at the group of people in front of him, "Oh Yes, you are mercenaries, you should be here for the task of finding the orb of the temple—now you still want to go?"
Hao Ren suddenly became nervous: "What? Is it blocked now?"
"No, that's not enough," the rector shook his head, "but the situation around the holy lake is very unstable these days. Many mercenaries have already withdrawn, and with the incident this afternoon, no one knows what the holy lake is like. There's something going on around the lake. It's not very smart to rush past."
The rector still has some words to say directly: the disappearance of the temple orb happened two months ago, and the situation in the Beinz area has been deteriorating in the past two months. All kinds of abnormal phenomena emerged one after another, and more and more visions made the knights of the church and the knights of the kingdom in a hurry. Baozhu is just one of many chaos now, looking for Baozhu to be honest... it doesn't make much sense anymore.
But such words must not come from the mouth of a devout believer like him.
Nangong Wuyue took a step forward: "We know it's dangerous, but we have to go there, and we have to find someone."
"Looking for someone?" The rector raised his eyes to her.
"Um, that's it..." Now that we've reached the point, Hao Ren also mentioned the mysterious woman's situation, "...that's just such a person, she should have stayed in this town two days ago."
"I don't know who you are talking about, but I can give you a pass," the rector took out a completed form from a stack of documents on the table, and carefully stamped it with two seals, "May the Goddess His mercy protects you."
Hao Ren and the others took this pass and retreated from the rector's room. Outside the door stood the serious man who had led them the way. He seemed to have been waiting here: "I'll take you to the Knights' residence to rest."
Due to the fact that mercenaries have been entering the Beinz area from all over the kingdom in the past two months, there are no hotels or houses in this small town to accommodate these outsiders. Therefore, many mercenaries are scattered in the two major knight orders. .
Lily was always in a carefree state. After she came out of the church, she hopped along beside Hao Ren: "By the way, that old man seems easy to get along with. I thought the rector was an old-fashioned old man."
"Ahem, don't say that," Hao Ren coughed twice, but the black-robed monk leading the way didn't seem to respond to Lily's words, "It seems that the woman didn't come to Layton Town."
"Can I go to the Blood Lake area without going through Layton Town?" Vivian looked at Becky.
"Yes, it is possible," Becky didn't know why the group of people in front of her cared so much about a traveler who had never met, but she still replied seriously, "It's just that you have to go directly through the Twisted Woodland from the dangerous area. From the town It is a relatively safe road to enter the Blood Lake area through the official road and church outpost outside. This road has always been used by people, and there are regular patrols to clean it up. There are also long-term security circles on both sides of the road, but if you enter directly from other places Twisting the woodland is not so safe - it may be attacked by monsters."
"I hope nothing will happen." Hao Ren sincerely prayed for the unknown visitor from another world, but he just didn't know whether calling the name of Raven 12345 at the end of the prayer would work or not. The biggest tragedy of the genuine "saints" is: ordinary believers can feel at ease when they pray to their gods. Whether God listens or not, at least the believers themselves are at ease and bold, but a guy like Hao Ren who chats with God every now and then is not. Dare to be so honest, he even panicked when he mentioned the name of his own god, that goddess sister is no more reliable than the husky beside him...
Y'zaks has been silent since he entered the church just now, probably because the atmosphere inside made him a little uncomfortable, and he was relieved when he came out at this time: "You say...why did the Marshal of a country come to such a place?"
Hao Ren thought of Marshal Ovra whom he had just met. A beautiful woman is always easy to impress others, especially when this woman has many incredible qualities. However, Hao Ren can be regarded as a master who has seen the world now. He has no other thoughts about Marshal Ovra, but feels that such a woman does not match the various auras behind her: "Probably for the purpose of investigating St. About Tang Baozhu... This seems to be a big deal. I really didn't expect Marshal Wang Guo to be a young girl."
"You're prejudiced just now!" Becky seemed to be a little dazed by her admiration for Marshal Ovra, and immediately jumped up when she heard Hao Ren's words, "What's wrong with young women?! Are you prejudiced against age? Gender prejudice? Let me tell you, there are many powerful female warriors, and you can see that I am quite powerful—and who told you that Marshal Ophra is young? She is hundreds of years old... "...
"How many years old?!" Hao Ren was taken aback, "Isn't she human?"
"Marshal Ophra is a descendant of the ancient species." Becky looked at Hao Ren, "How closed is the Northern Empire, and you are such a strange creature."
"Ancient species, oh, ancient species," Hao Ren laughed dryly, "It's okay, it's okay. It seems that you admire her."
"Of course I adore her," Becky's eyes were almost green, "there is no female mercenary who does not adore her. She is a legendary female warrior. It is said that she was a famous hero hundreds of years ago. She quelled several rebellions on the border of the kingdom. She has been the swordsmanship instructor of every crown prince since she served for the Holletta royal family, how powerful do you think this is?"
Hao Ren knew what, so he could only continue to laugh dryly at this moment: "Hehe, hehe..."
It was impossible to communicate with Betsy in this state.
