If this news is true and reliable, then aren’t we making unreasonable noises these days? Painter couldn't help but wonder, could the messenger deceive us? This is probably unlikely.
He turned his attention to the deputy leader. As Calder's deputy, Cai Xi was not as good at fighting as him, but Surt did favor this human being more. Sometimes the dwarf would pretend to be ignorant of the facts, but in critical moments, like now, he would reluctantly listen to the guy's opinion. Of course, it must be considered, and thinking is indispensable. Thinking is an act of wisdom.
"Yes, we knew from the beginning that the culprit was the gang. Later, Jais told the truth. But they were under the banner of the Holy Knights. How can people not care about this?" Golden Beard said.
"You never told me this." The dwarf was very dissatisfied.
"I thought the followers of Surte would definitely figure it out." Kaishi took off his hat. "Are we going to go to war with the Paladins because of a dishonest businessman? Since Keton did not explain in time the mercenary group and him After the contract is terminated, he is no longer worthy of our revenge. The Glorious Council is a monster that is not easy to mess with, and the Holy Knights are even more difficult to deal with...Jet, tell him what we are for."
"For the leader." The mercenary replied.
The dwarf fell silent. He glanced at the golden beard and realized to his annoyance that he could find nothing wrong with it. If you don't unite, you won't be an adventurer, and Kaixi's actions are beyond reproach.
And the messenger is not an adventurer, nor does he honor this wonderful unity. All he cared about was where Uriel and York had gone after the Wheel Gang. "Do you have any news?"
"Those villains are not too stupid. They have left Winnie Watts a long time ago. But I think this is indispensable for Jaice's tip-off. We can ask the old snake." Kaixi lowered his voice as he spoke. "He was originally worried that the gang's excessive methods would bring him trouble. Now we have to help get rid of this threat. I believe the manager will be happy to do so."
…
Delphine swallowed the last bite of gingerbread and felt a lot warmer. Who knew there was even a place in the Eastman Kingdom where thick furs were needed during the Fire Moon? She regretted it as soon as she left the city gate, but her regret was of no use. Fritz stood on the tower and watched her leave. Danlfien knew that he just wanted to have a good relationship with the Earl of Ice, not his sister who was not very close to him.
But even so, she felt comforted because her mother, Tracy, was busy with the reconstruction of Yotsuba City and did not come to see her off at all. In front of Frostleaf Castle, the Grand Duchess put on the pure white cloak that she wore when she married the Lancaster family twenty years ago, and then left behind the clumsy maid Nina.
Ansa was sitting opposite, replacing smokeless charcoal and spices for her hand stove. In the past, Nina would never have thought that such a job could be used to please her master. But Delphine still missed her. Ansha is like a witch who can see through people's hearts, which makes the princess of Yotsuye City feel uneasy.
Oh, now the Earl of Lancaster. Once they arrive at Weniworth, Danlfion will become the legal ruler of the Ice Territory. Croita did not care about Eastman's aristocratic change, and Delphine was of great significance to Winnie Watts, so Tracy hoped that the cardinal of the Glorious Council could baptize her.
She only knew that Tracy didn't like Bishop Payton at all, and she also had a cold attitude towards the believers of the Goddess Gaia. This may be the sequelae of the Broken Sword Revolution. Dandelphine suddenly remembered that she could decide for herself whether to hire a history teacher at Winnie Watts.
However, due to various reasons, Danlfion hated the Glorious Council even more. She has thought about what would happen to the Eastman Kingdom without the Demon Hunting Movement and the Glorious Council more than once. Unknown people wreaking havoc? That might not be as scary as the return of Gavash.
The disaster in Four Leaf City seemed like yesterday. In his dream, Danlfien saw Gavin's dagger, the thick books stacked on the table, and the green flames all over the floor. This vision did not end until the arrival of the Cardinal. Dandelphin did not see the Sparks Ceremony, but he saw another scene that was not inferior to the grand ceremony - the rain of light fell on the earth, and all the trees in the city revived in an instant. Lilacs are even blooming again.
The altar was set up on the bell tower, but Dandelphin did not go up. She bathed in the golden drizzle and listened to the cheers of the people. Tracy and Fritz, Clover Wiggins. And I am Lord Danlfion Lancost of the Ice Land.
She suddenly threw away the tea cup. "Isn't there any fresh fruit tea here?"
Dandelfien waited for Ansa to reply, "This is the freshest one." She always did her best. She would definitely say this, so that I would have a reason to evaluate the products and environment of the Ice Territory. It doesn't matter how harsh the words are. The maid may have more choices in Bonfire Town, but there is no other choice here. However, she still underestimated Ansa. The maid just lowered her head obediently, "I'm sorry, Lord Earl. I'm going to buy a better one." She was about to ride to the town on horseback.
At this moment, Danlfion misses Nina so much. She is my close friend and she is a stupid maid. The girl could tell that the cunning and loyal old maid in front of her said this deliberately. "That's enough. Let's go later. I don't want to drink anything."
However, the carriage stopped without warning.
Danlfien sensed something was wrong when the wheels gradually slowed down to an unprecedented level. "Are we here?" She didn't dare to open the curtains, even though the cold wind no longer stirred them. At first, the girl still had a longing for the snow and mountains, but the cold wind and fine snow that hit her face quickly dispelled this enthusiasm.
Ansha jumped out of the carriage without being asked and soon brought the news. But I would rather you not go anywhere, just stay with me in the carriage so scared. Delphien thought critically, watching the maid climb back into the warm carriage: "There has been an accident in Bonfire Town, Lord Earl. The bishop suggested camping on the spot, but I think you'd better come out and take a look."
Ansa has brown hair, which is often a characteristic of Northlanders. They are generally very curious and good at expressing and communicating. They always arouse the curiosity of others. Delphine stuck his head out and couldn't take his eyes away anymore.
"This is Bonfire Town?" The surprise came unexpectedly, and she couldn't help but feel grateful to Tracy. "What a beautiful town! Is this my fiefdom? I want to live here. Why should we stop?"
The devotee of Lucia, riding a steed, approached the window. The Glorious Council is a mysterious organization with a parliamentary system in which cardinals participate in decision-making. The Episcopal Conference is an institution that exists to correct the behavior of its agents. This is no different from the Church of Gaia. But the School of Silence is not a church organization.
"Please be patient, my lady."
Daniel Edgar was a gentle, polite man with a soft beard on his chin and an unadorned crown. The sun disk emblem is on his arm, and the ring armor is close to the skin. Only the golden robe hangs down from the shoulders, with tassels and silver velvet embellishment at the corners.
"This is not Bonfire," he said.
Dandelfion had not heard that there was another small town on the way to Bonfire Town. Ansa told her that Bonfire Town was the last stop of the Evergreen Line. This place is at the foot of the Morris Mountains, where there is constant wind and snow. There is still a short period of fire moon in Winnivac, but there is nothing in Bonfire Town. The people here rely on the supplies delivered by the Evergreen Vein to survive the darkest night. This is the coldest border of the kingdom.
"Bishop Edgar, what happened here?" Most of the abnormalities come from mystery. Danlfion is not a mysterious creature, but he already has a certain understanding of the world of magic.
She said with some melancholy.
The Cardinal of the Council looked at the solid city wall in the distance, and the Evergreen Vein was leading to the main entrance of the town. "Greenbrier City, that is the city of elves. Bonfire Town was replaced, a mystery of great scope."
"Miss, have you got any news?" he asked.
Dandelfein also believes that reporters and newspapers will not let go of such an obvious mysterious phenomenon. But what she learned had nothing to do with Bonfire. The servant responsible for managing the magic pansies and cat's ears is called the gardener. Ansa brought him over. The gardener answered with the flower in his hands: "The new news in Winnie Watts focuses on the four-leaf forest. The sleeping place there. The valley has disappeared, and the Evergreen Vein is no longer the only way in and out of the Ice Territory. There are only these, my lord."
"The good news just comes a little late. It seems that either these reporters' hands and feet are stiff in the cold wind, or the good news always comes late." Danlfien said with some complaints. "What happened to Bonfire Town, Lord Bishop?"
"I have seen such magic in the Holy City. It is both incredible and real." Bishop Edgar looked very old, and Danlfien suspected that he would use the same words for every mysterious place. "As you can see, Miss Lancoster, this is a mysterious manifestation of 'real projection'."
"Real projection?"
"You can understand it as a mirage of reality. It's both illusion and touchable."
"Then is it real or a dream?"
"It depends on your definition of reality." Edgar replied. His fingers touched the folds of his chest, where an ivory brooch was pinned. The brooch is decorated with a ring engraved in gold and a center embellished with rubies and star peridots.
Dandelphin glimpsed the flash of light on the brooch when the bishop used his magic. Sometimes she unconsciously compares the mystic to the noble lady.
"I wish to see inside." My truth is undefined. She endured the pain of the gap and begged in a low voice. "It's not dangerous, is it? No word from the people in Bonfire."
"Yes." Bishop Edgar replied without hesitation, "If I follow you into the town, any mysterious threat will not be considered a danger."
"Aren't you coming with us, sir?"
"I come with a mission, my dear lord. I must go to Venevoise alone and find the Holy Knights."
"I understand, the dragon of time does not cherish treasure."
"You are so kind." He smiled.
"I'm just the Earl of the Ice Territory, Bishop, you don't need to call me that." Danlfien was a little flattered.
"What I respect is not the status of a mortal. Miss Lancost, you are not yet an adult, but your heart is so pure and moving. The God of Light is an eternal girl, and girls can always be favored by Him."
The bishop's gentle words made Delphine feel ashamed of his previous slander. She realized that she only felt justified in being angry at others, and the Cardinal's humility and courtesy made her experience another kind of nobility.
"My Lord Count." The annoying maid Ansa interrupted, "The gardener has new news."
Preferably not about the Veins of Evergreen. Dandelphin ordered: "Let him come and say it."
As expected, it has nothing to do with the Eternal Blue Line, and Danlfion still deserves the title of "Berti's Norn". When the gardener carefully opened the cat's ears, the news came that the messenger from the Sky Tower and the Holy Knights were going to Bonfire Town.
"Lucia's guidance." Bishop Edgar sighed, "Let's go to the town and wait. Lemons will be surprised to see me. And Bai - I knew it was him as soon as I heard it, who saved the four lives." The envoy of Yecheng.”
He shook his head, "It's a joke."
Delphine's heart was pounding. The messenger of the Sky Tower? That weird sky-bound mystic? Is he here for the Venerables agreement?
