Demonic items are uncommon, as the Radiant Council always sends knights and priests to collect them for unified purification. The demonic things left behind by the war for a thousand years have been basically destroyed. However, when he came into contact with the name of Winnie Watts, Uriel suddenly remembered the shadow that once enveloped the entire Biniaio - the demon hunting movement. .
The apprentice realized that whatever he could think of, Joey must have thought of it too.
Paladin, Weenie Watts, Demon. Now that the Paladins have appeared in Wineworth, no matter what excuse they have, they have gathered two elements of the massacre that year; the goods confiscated by the Paladins and priests will most likely be the last ones.
"The people in the caravan have repeatedly assured me that their goods are only spices, wine, and random fruits... tropical specialties. I can only believe them."
The adventurer replied: "I have to say that these knights did not conflict with us head-on when collecting the goods. In fact, they only dealt with the caravan, and we took the initiative to come to them later."
"This is unreasonable." The dwarf suddenly realized.
Joey couldn't help but frown, and seemed to agree.
"What's so unreasonable?" Uriel had to ask York quietly. He knew that there was some kind of conventional connection, but as a newcomer, he had just come into contact with it. The latter did not implicate his temper on anyone else. He rubbed his orange fingers uneasily on the bagpipe, showing no trace of how much he disliked it.
The hesitation didn't last long. "The council hopes to eradicate the devil." The light element replied in a low voice, "Whenever a devil's item is found, the priests will trace it to the end. Anyone who has been in contact or may have been in contact will be inspected, and the former will have to go to the church to be purified. .”
"If there are demonic objects hidden in the caravan's goods, both the caravan and the escorting mercenaries will be implicated."
It was obvious that York did not agree with the parliament's approach, Uriel could see this from his doubtful expression. But after all, it was a mysterious organization that believed in the gods in his heart, and this behavior made him very disappointed. Maybe he would find various excuses to explain the Paladin's actions, but the light element knew in his heart that these were just self-deception.
Uriel tried his best to turn his attention back to the conflict between the mercenaries and the knights: "So according to common sense, the entire caravan should be inspected and purified, but now the Paladin only confiscated the goods. The matter has nothing to do with the devil."
"You were mostly right, young man. I just heard about you from Ez - he said you were his shop assistant." The armband shook.
"Huh? Oh...thank you."
"Are you fighting?" the dwarf asked eagerly.
"There is no doubt. It's just that the leader of the Paladins is Lemmons, so we have to withdraw from Venevoise... You'd better go to Bonfire Town first. Even if you don't take the Evergreen Vein, it's not too far there."
"But-" York wanted to say something, but suddenly the magic disappeared. He picked up the armband with great annoyance, and after hesitating for a moment, he put it on his shoulder. "We can't go to Whinney Watts."
he said apologetically to the messenger.
Uriel also didn't expect that there would be an accident in Winnie Watts immediately after Yotsuba Castle. The undead were ravaging the Four-leaf Territory, but the Glorious Council, which was determined to eliminate them, sent people to the Ice Territory.
Fortunately this time it has nothing to do with demons. What's even more fortunate is that none of them have to go to Winnie Watts. Once they leave the forest, the two teams will go their separate ways. Bonfire Town is approaching
"We will not change the route," the messenger replied.
Of course, the mercenaries had no reason to let Uriel and Joey follow them to Bonfire Town. In fact, it was already very difficult to go with them halfway like this. Although Croita's envoy could not be said to be a loner, it was obvious that Joey was not very good at it. Get used to collective action.
"Then we'll say goodbye here." The dwarf put the warhammer on his waist without any hesitation. He grinned, dirt from his beard falling onto his collar. "What an unforgettable adventure! When we return to the city, we can hear long poems praising us in the streets and alleys."
"I still have the flute to prove it," York added.
But Joey said, "Not yet. We have to go to Whinney Watts."
"Why?" The one who was most surprised was the apprentice Uriel. He thought that the envoy was eager to separate now so that the two of them could go straight to Iron Claw City.
But now the messenger uses "we", which clearly means everyone.
"Paladin Captain Lemmons is in Venevoise, and he is also a mystic in the Sky Realm." Croita's messenger explained, "I must fulfill my obligation to monitor his movements until Demosis gives new instructions."
"But the Holy Knights have already entered the territory of the Eastman Kingdom——"
"Lemons is different from ordinary Paladins."
Of course Uriel understood the difference between the sky realm and the ring level, but he also found that there must be something weird in it. The Holy Knights must have entered the country much earlier than Joey. Whether it was crossing the Eastman or crossing the Morris Mountains, reaching Winnie Watts was not a short and time-consuming trip. He was just giving a random reason, a reason to go to Winnie Watts.
But he couldn't say it face to face, so he had to look at the two mercenaries in silence and ask questions.
"Then why should we go too?"
This question is much easier to answer. Joey answered almost in succession: "Calder, the leader of the mercenary group, asked you to go to Bonfire Town, but behind the town are snow-capped mountains."
The big-nosed dwarf didn't understand: "What's this?"
But his companion understood: "It doesn't make sense. We shouldn't go to Bonfire Town."
The Paladin's destination is also the Snowy Mountains, and Bonfire Town is the last supply station before entering the Morris Mountains. Therefore, if they retreat, the mercenaries should go north. Originally, passing through Bonfire Town meant that they were about to leave the Ice Territory along the Eternal Green Vein, but now that the Valley of Sleep has disappeared, the Knox Mercenary Group can even directly cross the Four-leaf Forest and enter the wilderness.
As a result, Calder did not mention changing the route at all during the exchange, and with the envoy as a guarantee, the adventurers obviously would not think that they were talking nonsense, so he deliberately avoided this issue.
"After getting the news, the Knox Mercenary Group should choose to retreat to the forest. Only we know the situation in the Valley of Sleep." The apprentice also pointed out.
"Perhaps Calder has arrived in Bonfire Town with his adventure group."
"This is impossible." Joey was sure. "The Holy Knights will not all leave the town. Even if Knight Commander Lemons goes to Winniewats, there will still be someone stationed in the town."
"What's more, Kongjing is not an opponent that the ring level can resist. Your friends are not evacuating... I'm afraid the war is raging in the city."
Uriel's heart tightened. He looked at York subconsciously. The young light elemental being's face was pale at this moment, and even the light was not working well.
Relating Calder's instructions, he wanted to keep his mercenaries away from Winnie Watts because he was unwilling to put them in danger.
"The leader is not in danger, right?" Painter naturally reacted.
York was distraught. "I have no idea."
"But you are right, my lord, we must go to Whinney Watts."
Mercenaries do not abandon their comrades. Uriel thought it was abnormal for them not to choose this way. He glanced at Joey's face secretly and suddenly added: "The Glorious Council gave up the kingdom, and Croita will not let them mess around in the territory of the vassal country. of."
Fortunately the messenger remained silent. Not only the apprentices, but also the mercenaries looked slightly relaxed.
Uriel didn't expect Joey to agree to help. After all, they had other purposes, and going to Winnie Watts was just the envoy's personal wish. The matter involves the Glorious Council, and I'm afraid their whereabouts cannot be concealed.
But why would Joey go to Winnie Watts instead of letting all his previous methods go to waste?
Uriel couldn't help thinking about this problem. He followed the team around the bushes and woods, and his mind was active until the sky dimmed and the morning stars awakened.
The tender green is irreversibly turning into dark green, and the mountains outside the forest land are undulating, rippling with red, blue, golden and brown purple. The towering city walls on the horizon come into view, and the sky is covered by waves from silver to pure white.
Since leaving the Four-leaf Forest, the temperature of the air has dropped all the way. The sun of the flaming moon could not penetrate the cold mist, and Uriel could not see Joey's true thoughts behind his expressionless face. Under the protection of magic power, he would not shiver from the cold, and he could still appear dimly when he breathed out the heat.
But despite everything he could see, he felt the abnormal spread. Magic, condensed with mystery, is swirling among the high and low roofs surrounded by a dark fortress.
Winnie Watts——
