Gregory raised his left hand with difficulty, and a piece of bread suddenly appeared in his hand. But his hand seemed unable to bear the weight of the bread, and fell back to the ground weakly, and the bread also fell out.
After receiving medical attention, his health gradually improved. Even so, his body was still covered in bandages. Although he was able to stand up and walk, it was still very difficult to take steps. There was no obvious injury on his left hand, but he couldn't even hold bread.
And because there were many believers of the Abrahamic Orthodox Church gathered around him, his magic power recovered first rather than his body.
"Is it enough for me to return directly to Cologne, or to transfer three people within a short distance in Hamburg...?" Gregory assessed the recovery of his strength.
According to the oral accounts of new arrivals in the past few days, priests and nuns in Hamburg are still hung in the square for public display. Duke Otto deliberately prevented them from dying early and would send food and water every once in a while. And the priests and nuns did not resist. When Prince Otto brought food, they ate; when Duke Otto brought him water, they drank. In this way, they struggled to maintain their own lives - even if living would make their lives worse than death.
Gregory knew that they were waiting for a savior to appear.
It's not difficult to rescue these two people. All you need to do is prepare a carriage near the square, use Gregory's magic to transfer them to the carriage, and then escape to Stade in the carriage. Even in Hamburg, if the magic power is sufficient and only a short distance transfer is carried out, the two people will not be injured by the magic.
However, this plan can only save "two people". The Alemannic Federation will only intensify its persecution of the Abrahamic Orthodox Church after that. This was unacceptable to Gregory.
Just as he was thinking hard about how to save people, Duke Otto's voice came not far away:
"King of Sweden, I don't know why you sympathize with the Church of the Tianfang Empire. But if you bring too much of your own emotions into politics, you will never achieve great things."
Another girl replied irritably: "Are you done? I still say what I said, the Pirate Kingdom remains neutral. If there is a dispute, it's up to you to resolve it as you see fit in Stade!"
Gregory was lying on the ground and could not see the two people. But there is no doubt that the speaker is the "triumph".
Duke Otto's voice came again: "King of Sweden, since you have made up your mind, let me give you a piece of advice - you may be a hero, but you are by no means a qualified king. You know how to win, but You will perish in victory after victory!"
Listening to the conversation between the two, it seems that Duke Otto wanted the King of Sweden to hand over the believers of the Abrahamic Orthodox Church, but the King of Sweden refused. What puzzled Gregory was that the King of Sweden did not respond verbally to Duke Otto's offensive words, and seemed to acquiesce to what he said.
But Gregory couldn't bear to hear the king who saved the Orthodox Church of Abraham being so accused. When Duke Otto's voice faded away and the King of Sweden's voice came back, he shouted with all his strength:
"I am the Archbishop of Cologne, the supreme leader of the Alemannic Diocese of the Abrahamic Church. I want to see the King of Sweden!"
…
Gregory was carried to a room and helped to a chair. Ella sat opposite him, staring straight at him, not knowing what she was thinking.
They were both extremely shocked. Gregory once thought that Amy was the King of Sweden, but he never imagined that the little girl who had brain problems while doing math problems was the world-famous "Triumph". Although Ella knew that Gregory was a believer in the Abrahamic Orthodox Church, she did not know that his status was so high.
Before Gregory could speak, Ella asked first: "You are the highest person in charge of Alemany Diocese, that is to say, you are an 'apostle'?"
"Yes, I didn't expect the King of Sweden to know so much about the Abrahamic Orthodox Church."
"Then your magic must be very powerful? What can it do?"
"It can't do anything big, it can just move something from one place to another."
"Move from one place to another? Can anything be done? If you can even move an entire army, that would be awesome!"
Gregory did not understand the meaning of Ella's question. For the purpose of shocking the King of Sweden, he replied calmly: "It's a bit difficult, but it's not impossible."
"Can other apostles do the same thing?"
"Each apostle's magic is different. I am the most embarrassing one. Once I enter the land of the pagans, my power is not as good as before."
Seeing that Ella had finished asking, Gregory made an understatement and asked: "I heard that the surname of the King of Sweden is Scipio? This seems to be the surname of the royal family of the Seven Hills Empire. I don't know if this rumor is true. Or is it fake?"
Ella shook her head.
"Baselisa of the Seven Hills Empire was indeed captured by the King of Beasts, but she poisoned the island owner there in Antilia and was executed. I was one of her followers, and I was lucky enough to kidnap a few of the King of Beasts. I did a favor and climbed to this position. Because I was born as a commoner, I was afraid that it would be difficult to convince the public, so I borrowed this surname out of my own selfishness."
"I see that your hair, King of Sweden, is dry, and you seem to have some disease." Gregory said calmly, "I was lucky enough to get a prescription that can cure your hair, which allows me to take a closer look at you. hair?"
Ella hesitated, then cut off a lock of hair and handed it to Gregory. Gregory brought the hair to his eyes and looked at it for himself, rubbed it with his fingers, smelled it before putting it to his nose, and finally even put it in his mouth and sipped it.
"What are you doing!" Ella was angry.
"Sorry, I'm just making a diagnosis." Gregory spat out the hair in his mouth, "I'm sorry... My prescription may not be able to cure the problem of the King of Sweden's hair."
A few short conversations were a judgment on Ella's life and death.
Ella's hair was turned black by Dan's alchemy potion. For people who didn't know her well, they would never think of her as the blonde Baselisa from the Seven Hills Empire.
But Gregory knew that Baselisa of the Seven Hills Empire was captured by pirates. The Swedish king of the pirate kingdom was named Scipio, and he could not help but suspect that it was the same person. I asked for Ella's hair just to see if the black hair was dyed with dye.
Alertness to the Apostles and Dan's alchemy helped Ella.
From a few words from Gregory, Ayla had already determined that Gregory was the apostle who transferred the Seven Hills Empire's fleet to Antilia. When Gregory asked about her identity, she made up a story based on Amy's experience.
And Dan's alchemy goes beyond dyeing Ella's hair black. At that time, he poured the potion into Ella's mouth. Since then, Ella's hair has been trimmed several times, but every time the new hair grows back the same dry brown color.
Seeing that Gregory still looked suspicious, Ella buried the fear in her heart and asked aloud: "The apostle of Tianfang Empire wants to see me, shouldn't it just be to treat my hair?"
Gregory decided to put this matter aside for the time being. After all, even if Ella was really Baselisa of the Seven Hills Empire, now was not the time to deal with her.
