In the afternoon, all the recruited nobles came together. This time, the total number of recruited nobles reached an unprecedented ninety-nine. It can be seen how much the temple attaches importance to this matter.
Of course, this kind of emphasis is also graded. If they knew earlier that they were dealing with an awakened ancient god, the Temple of War would definitely not only recruit nobles who only had sky knights at most, but would recruit top nobles.
After David found that his popularity was so poor that almost no nobles were willing to communicate with him, he no longer thought about actively communicating with him, but returned to the room arranged for him.
The room is a suite, a master room, six guest rooms, and corresponding other supporting facilities.
This kind of room is already the worst room in this hotel dedicated to receiving nobles.
On weekdays, guests with an earl title like David would live in a separate courtyard when they came here, but this time among the ninety-nine nobles, the earl was the lowest title.
In the evening, the priest notified all the recruited nobles to go to the conference hall with the sky knights, where the War Temple will issue tasks.
When David walked into the conference hall with the two sky knights, there were already more than 50 people sitting in the conference hall, and everyone was greeting each other. This rare opportunity to get together is also a good time to socialize.
Seeing David coming in, the nobles who were mentally prepared did not stop talking, but lowered their voices.
David didn't take the initiative to sit in the front, he found an inconspicuous seat in the back row and sat down.
More and more nobles entered the conference hall, and the voices in the conference hall resumed.
"Bishop McKinley is here!" With the priest's announcement, the voice in the conference hall disappeared instantly.
Bishop McKinley, wearing a golden robe, walked in holding a staff inlaid with huge gemstones.
"On behalf of the Temple of War, I welcome all distinguished gentlemen!" Bishop McKinley bowed and saluted.
No nobleman sat down at such a time, and all stood up to return the salute. The status of Bishop McKinley was more noble than that of any nobleman here.
And the particularity of the Temple of War made no nobleman dare to show any disrespect to the Temple of War.
From the name of the god of war, one can know what the god is in charge of.
In the Great World of Gods, the Temple of War is the most active and contributes the most in most of the large-scale operations to eliminate evil gods.
Of course, the recruitment this time is not just the recruitment of the Temple of War, but the recruitment of several major temples by the Temple of War.
"Gentlemen, I think you have also heard about the evil god incident on Lumbus. What needs to be explained is that the development of the situation is beyond the expectations of the temple. You nobles will be the first batch of nobles to be recruited. Assemble the combat power, they will be the next batch of nobles to be recruited!" Bishop McKinley said in a deep voice.
Bishop McKinley's words caused chaos in the originally quiet conference hall, and everyone could understand the meaning of Bishop McKinley's words.
In other words, the situation on Lumber Star is worse than the rumors outside, and a large number of fifth-level Templars are needed to take action. This is a war that has not happened in the world of the gods for many years.
Compared with the combat power that the top nobles can dispatch, the strength of the nobles here is extremely low, which also means that this mission, even the most ordinary mission, will be extremely dangerous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a narrow escape.
"Gentlemen, you are all nobles belonging to the great world of God, please maintain your self-cultivation and etiquette!" Bishop McKinley struck the ground with the scepter in his hand, and said in a deep voice.
The nobles stopped discussing, but the atmosphere in the conference hall was no longer as peaceful as before.
Although it is the power of the temple to recruit nobles, the temple cannot allow the nobles to die, and the mission of death will also be questioned by the nobles.
So the eyes of the nobles were all on Bishop McKinley, waiting for his next words.
"The mission issued by the temple this time has also been changed from a combat mission to a reconnaissance mission!" As soon as Bishop McKinley said this, the expressions of the nobles below all relaxed.
No one knew about the situation on Lumbu. If all ninety-nine nobles were put on Lumbu, not many would survive.
If the Temple of War really issues such a task, the nobles here will apply for the help of the Supreme Council, and the Supreme Council will re-coordinate with the Temple.
Bishop McKinley is also very helpless, the temple can forcefully advance the war mission, but in this way, any temple and executors who promote it will be hostile by the noble forces, and no matter what they do in the future, they will be enemies everywhere.
Besides, among the ninety-nine nobles recruited this time, there are only forty-three sky knights. It is impossible for such combat power to deal with the plague god Gladstone.
Even if Gladstone, the God of Plague, can't take action directly, no one knows the situation on the entire Lumber planet. Without information, who would dare to invest all the noble army.
As far as Bishop McKinley knew, the next batch of major temples alone would send fifth-level bishops, and these bishops could invite God.
"The first mission will be released below. Enter Lumber Star and leave the temple's exploratory circle on the surface of Lumber Star. The mission reward will be a great achievement!" Bishop McKinley glanced at the nobles and sky knights present, and said in a deep voice.
Since it is a reconnaissance mission, it is not necessary for everyone to go there. This mission only needs someone to apply for it.
Of course, if no one volunteers to apply, then the temple will assign this task, and no recruiter can refuse.
Bishop McKinley's great merit made all the nobles' eyes brighten. Great merit will only appear in a few tasks. Starting from the title of earl, and then wanting to improve the title or territory, the amount of merit required is beyond imagination.
There are many aristocratic families who spend a lot of energy doing various meritorious tasks, but it is just to prevent their own titles from falling during inheritance, and it is extremely difficult to improve their titles.
Great merit is a very special merit, as long as two great merits can raise the earl's title by one level, this time the temple can give such a reward, which surprised the nobles present.
But although they are excited, there are very few nobles who really want to accept the mission. No one knows the situation on Lumbus, but they know that the Earth Temple has lost a group of priests composed of four-level priests.
When the situation is unclear, going there rashly has benefits, but it also has huge risks.
And this is not the only investigation mission, the early investigation missions will be completed by the stronger nobles.
There are many nobles who have this idea, and the nobles are watching each other.
David didn't speak either, and with the support of the Main family, I believe no one would force him to do the task.
He is also worried about the dangerous situation on Lumber Star, and he is one of the few people here who knows what exists on Lumber Star.
Bishop McKinley frowned, maybe the too leisurely life made these nobles too loose.
"Bishop McKinley, leave this task to me!" A voice sounded in the conference hall.
"Marquis of Mumford, very good, the temple has arranged a 'space ship', the 'space ship' will place you near Lumb, and you will complete the rest of the journey by yourself!" Bishop McKinley smiled Said to Lord Mumford.
He was very satisfied with the Marquis of Mumford's active acceptance of the mission, so he patiently explained the details of the operation.
"I won't go. The two sky knights of my family can do this kind of small task!" Marquis Mumford nodded to the two sky knights beside him, and then said to Bishop McKinley.
"That's good, the speed of the two sky knights can be faster!" Bishop McKinley didn't care, and still said with a smile.
The Marquess of Mumford's family has developed rapidly in recent decades, especially after joining the top noble Beton family, the family has produced three sky knights in a row, and this time they brought two sky knights.
As for the Marquis of Mumford not going to participate in the mission, this is also very understandable. He only has the strength of the earth knight, but he will hold back the two sky knights if he goes.
The two sky knights did not speak. They were very powerful, but their identities were the lowest in the entire conference hall. At least they were all earls here. It was already a kind of care for the sky knights to let the sky knights listen in.
They stood up and bowed to Lord Mumford and then to Bishop McKinley.
A priest took two sky knights out, and from here to the Lumb star, the fastest 'spaceship' would take 30 hours, so after this task was assigned, the rest of the nobles had to wait in the hotel.
One is to wait for the information brought back by the two sky knights, and the other is that the temple may also add tasks at any time.
The two sky knights are led by the priest, and they draw a trace of blood power to stay in the life card. The life card is issued by the temple, so that they can know in time whether the tasker is dead.
The "spaceship" of the temple flew out of the Kailian star ten minutes later. Although the Lumbu star is similar to the Kailian star, it is only relative to the entire divine world.
Thirty hours of space flight is a long and boring journey for those who are used to using portals in the Great World of Gods.
The journey of the two sky knights was boring, and the nobles who stayed in the Kailianxing Hotel were also boring. They used party after party to pass the time.
Every time David used Shadow Waiter to check the surrounding situation, he would find that there was an almost continuous party after party in the entire hotel.
Among the ninety-nine nobles, except for David, who is a special nobleman, they all grew up attending parties since they were young. They met friends and fell in love during parties. Anything will become a party. They It's a bunch of party creatures.
One can imagine what kind of scene it would be if more than 90 nobles gathered together.
Good wine, singing and dancing, this place is not like a scene to participate in the recruitment of the temple, but a super party.
Usually, it is almost impossible to invite ninety-nine nobles with the title of earl or above to be together.
There was no noble to invite David, and David was happy and relaxed. Although the environment here made it difficult for him to practice too much, it was good to continue to complete his new tactics.
At twelve o'clock in the evening of the second day, all the nobles were summoned in the conference hall.
Fortunately, these nobles seldom go to bed at twelve o'clock in the evening. Only a few nobles drank too much, and the priests used divine magic to help them wake up before they were able to participate in the meeting.
"It's disturbing the gentlemen's pleasure!" Bishop McKinley said with a slight sarcasm.
In just over thirty hours, the performance of these nobles made Bishop McKinley unbearable. These nobles did not realize what kind of enemy they were facing.
But the real reason for this is the temple. The temple knew that their enemy was the plague god Gladstone, but the temple did not intend to notify these conscripted nobles.
If the nobles here know that what they are facing is a true god, then the temple will have to face inquiries from the Supreme Council. Although the temple is not afraid of anything, troubles are inevitable.
So Bishop McKinley could only let these nobles have fun, and he couldn't say anything more.
"Bishop McKinley, why did you summon us so quickly? It will take nearly three days to go to and from Lumbus?" A duke asked strangely.
The duke's eyes were still a little foggy, and he knew it was the result of not resting for a long time.
"I'm sorry, Marquis Mumford, your two sky knights left here shortly after leaving the 'spaceship', and the life cards left here show death!" Bishop McKinley ignored the Duke and turned his head to Munford. Lord Ford bowed and said.
The Marquis of Mumford stood up abruptly, and looked at Bishop McKinley with disbelief.
His lips trembled a few times, but in the end he still didn't speak, and he sat back heavily on the chair, his face pale.
The Marquis of Mumford knew that his family was in trouble, and the three sky knights could suppress many external influences, allowing their family to take more benefits.
But without the two sky knights, they will spit out too much of their interests. In addition, the lost family will also lose its effect on the top noble Biton family. Just borrowing the resources of the Biton family to cultivate sky knights, It was enough that his family couldn't afford it.
The surrounding nobles looked at the Marquis of Mumford with sympathy, gloating, and ridicule for his overreaching. The Marquis of Mumford, who was gathering all kinds of eyes, only thought about how to get through the difficulties.
Originally, the Marquis of Mumford still thought that the great achievement after completing the mission, coupled with the merits accumulated over the years, would be able to elevate the title of Marquis to another level. This rare opportunity is equivalent to decades of family success. effort.
"The mission of the Marquis of Mumford failed. This mission is re-released. Enter Lumber Star and leave the temple's exploratory circle on the surface of Lumber Star. The mission rewards 1.5 merit!" Bishop McKinley did not comfort Mumford Marquis, he turned to look at the rest of the nobles in the conference hall, and announced in a deep voice.
In addition, meritorious service is inevitable, and the task that cannot be completed without the loss of the two sky knights cannot be justified without rewards.
