"You should have seen him in Frostleaf Castle." When Bishop Edgar mentioned Bai, the expression on his face was unpredictable. "Better have no illusions about him, my Miss Angel. He is an odd man."
Then you must not know how weird you are, because mystics are basically like this. "I'm thinking about Mr. Lemmons." Dandelphine lied. When she thought about Joey, she couldn't help but think about Gavin. That was the real nightmare. "I have never seen him, but I have heard of him. He is an upright knight."
The Cardinal spurred his mount. "Lemmons was my student."
"I'm not surprised at all, Mr. Bishop. You both represent justice and light. You are the most devout priest I have ever met."
"There is no such thing as the most pious thing about faith." Edgar responded with a smile, "And light is justice. Lemons is also a devout believer, and he has always felt guilty about Winnie Watts. After all, no one would have thought that the unknown person would push things forward. To that point, it even implicated the Four-leaf Leader. We deeply apologize for the lax investigation back then. We are here, the mysterious town."
Ansa relaxed the curtains at her signal.
Danlfien held the stove and couldn't help but recall the incident at Frostleaf Castle. Whinney Watts will be a part of my life, and I hate snow and ice so much. She thought of the adventurer, the mercenary gentleman who saved her life but indirectly killed Gavin.
I would rather be like the stupid heroine in the storybook and fall in love with the poor brave boy who was lucky enough to save the princess. Anyway, I will never see him again in this life.
There is no one guarding the town's walls, and only two knights are placed in front of the gate. They were no ordinary knights—Delfin saw their silver armor, sturdy mounts, and swords shining with cold light. These were the holy knights of Zangwill.
"It seems they arrived first," said the bishop.
The motorcade attracted a lot of attention as it entered the city. People whispered in low voices at first, and then screams and cheers began to spread into the distance. Doors and windows opened, and the townspeople rushed into the streets, chanting Delphine's name.
The bright sunshine in the Greenbrier City made the maiden count take off her cloak. She looked through the glass at the street outside the carriage. The familiar greenery and flowers in her field of vision were cuter than the people. The only thing that she didn't expect was that the town's temperature was not inferior to that of Yotsuba Castle in the Flame Moon. I should have come in summer clothes, Danlfien glanced at Ansha who was packing her bags.
After the motorcade passed through the crowd, Dandelfion did not lift the curtain. The thick fur in front of the door was put away, but Ansa thoughtfully put down the gauze decorated with amethysts, and the glass was tightly closed. While trying to ignore the sounds seeping through the thin layer of wood, she was startled to realize that her nails had caught the wool.
Finally, the rapid sound of horse hooves was heard, accompanied by a solemn, low voice: "Bishop...Mr. Edgar?" It was the voice of a man who was neither young nor old.
Dandelphine could hear his surprise. It is like the airflow in the throat waiting to be swallowed, with a forced reserve of wanting to talk but not being able to speak, wanting to talk but not being happy. That feeling was familiar to her. "Lucia, I really didn't expect it was you."
"Chloe sent a messenger, and the parliament must also respond. Although the Eastman Kingdom belongs to the Tower of Sky, the mission entrusted to us by the goddess cannot make any mistakes." Bishop Edgar answered.
"I've let you down, Your Majesty Bishop." Lemons' tone involuntarily deepened.
But before the bishop could respond, a female voice interrupted rudely: "In fact, all the responsibility for this lies with me. Your Lord Bishop, Knight Commander Lemons is experienced and organized, and I... I always I have other opinions.”
Bishop Edgar burst into laughter. "The mission hasn't even started yet, and you're already fighting for responsibility."
"But the matter of Winnie Watts——"
"So I'm here. How can the council blame you? Lucia will never ask believers to do things that are impossible." The bishop said, "I deeply regret what happened to Alexia, but Bai Zhizhi distance This is no enemy you can deal with. The judicial system is ill-considered, and Winnie Watts does not belong to the Parliament in the first place."
She had heard about the Judgment Agency. It had a more pleasant name called the Holy Inquisition in Zangwill, the headquarters of the Glorious Parliament. Before the demon hunting movement, Danlfien didn't think that demons would be frightened when they heard about it, but now no one dares to ridicule it to their faces.
The Holy Knights seem to be an organization affiliated with the Judgment Agency, so what are the identities of the members of the Judgment Agency? Cardinal? Dandelphin didn't know, but it didn't matter anyway.
Soon she caught her name in the conversation.
"Are you coming with Miss Delphine Lancost?" Knight Commander Lemons' voice regained his composure, "She will become the Earl of the Ice Land, may Lucia bless her."
"Yes, we'd better not waste time in front of the Countess."
I have plenty of treasure and plenty of time. When the coachman tightened the reins, Ansa jumped out of the car, while Danlfien felt uneasy. She rubbed her stiff calves, determined to face the "illusory reality." However, what greeted Danelfein was the Priestess in white robes. She was extremely holy and could not be seen thousands of miles away.
"Countess, your beauty and purity are rare in the world." Priestess praised. "I am Arabella, a white-robed priest. Would you like to follow me to the manor to taste fresh fruit tea? The projected fruits are also real."
Thank goodness Arabella didn't look at her rudely. Maybe my worries were unfounded. She was as easy to get along with as those noble ladies, and the mysterious creatures were people too. Danlfion allowed himself to smile. "My pleasure, Miss Arabella. You are the one favored by Lucia."
Maybe Gaia will bless you too.
…
Dandelphine did not expect that Arabella would invite him to participate in the discussion. Bishop Edgar was reminiscing with his students, and the girl heard the name Alexia through the door. Priestess opened the door, and they stopped talking about their previous topic.
There was no attitude on Arabella's face.
"Countess." Lemons stood up. He was a courteous gentleman, and his features were hard not to like. His speech and behavior are not as rough and straightforward as a warrior, and his belief in the God of Light gives him a unique temperament. The paladin captain looked a little pale, and Danfion couldn't help but start to think about the reason for this.
"We have all heard your name, Miss Dandelfyn. Whinney Watts needs your leadership, and so does the Ice Territory. This will be a heavy responsibility, and your courage and determination are admirable."
It wasn't until he politely praised himself that Danlfien came to his senses. Why am I thinking so wildly? This is so rude. She shook her head, "Thank you, I... I just took over. I really can't bear such praise."
The knight commander stopped answering. "In fact," the bishop said, "praise has some ulterior motives." He said it bluntly and winked at her. "We need your help, Countess."
Bishop Edgar was more affable than his juniors. If all the cardinals of the Glorious Council are like this, then it's no wonder that Lucia is the god with the most followers. "Just ask, Lord Bishop. Thank you for your assistance to Yotsuba City and your care along the way. I will try my best to make it convenient for you."
"It will not violate the laws of the kingdom, and there is no need to force others to do things." Bishop Edgar said his request: "I hope you can allow us to blockade the Morris Mountains until the matter is over."
"Morris Mountains?"
"We have important tasks to complete, but there is no guarantee that huge damage will not be caused during the period. Therefore, the hunter - the Elf Gold Cup was picked up by a hunter - and even Bonfire Town, we hope to temporarily relocate the people. Of course, there is no need now. , Bonfire Town has been included in the scope of the mysterious land."
Dandelphine was still confused. "What's in the Morris Mountains? Where is the Elf's Golden Cup?"
"That's what we want to know," Lemons replied. He looked a little upset, but it wasn't directed at anyone.
"The Elf Gold Cup is in the hands of the White Envoy."
Arabella solved the girl count's doubts. She was filled with shame, "Originally I had bought it, but the envoy took it away."
"I haven't left Zangwill for a long time." Bishop Edgar looked unhappy, "But I didn't expect that he would be so unreasonable."
However, the Holy Knight Commander said: "The White Envoy did not come for the gold cup, but to bring up the old affairs of Veniworth."
"Chloe is also involved in the demon hunting movement."
"No, there is still a difference." Lemons glanced at the girl on the sofa opposite, "Allow me to offend, Lord Earl. The messenger is not seeking justice for the people of Venezia. The Tower of the Sky believes that all things Their trajectories are predetermined fates, and therefore follow the path of balanced law. Their sympathy is pitiful, and their minds are filled with starry skies, the future, and vague illusions. This is the Observer who monitors the entire world of Knox and is aloof. Tacroy of the firmament.”
Each mysterious organization has its own creed. The Radiant Council implements light justice because of their belief in Lucia, while the Astrologer Tower adheres to principles, explores the future, and rarely interferes. This is undoubtedly an absolute indifference to the subject country. They will pay a little attention to the adjacent airspace, but ignore the ground.
I have understood this truth for a long time, Danlfien remained calm. "Then what is the messenger for?"
"The disaster of the undead in Yotsuba City. I'm so sorry, Countess, the Holy Knights were trekking in the snowy mountains at that time, and we really had no time to care."
"Bishop Edgar has given Yotsuba City the utmost help. I think my mother, Duke Yotsuba, must also be very grateful. Please continue, Mr. Knight." Maybe I know the reason.
"You are so merciful. I know that the people of Venivas call you 'Berti's Norn', and now it seems that you are indeed worthy of the name." Lemons Theodore praised sincerely. He obeyed immediately. "Newell, the necromancer of Clover City, comes from Wynneworth. He is a civilian who luckily escaped from the demon hunting movement. It took fifteen years for him to truly transform into a demon in human skin."
"The White Envoy was affected by the incident in Yotsuba City." Bishop Edgar said.
"That's right, sir, the Croy Tower's station was hit hard, causing one of the Sky Tower's defenders to leave the mysterious world. I found out the identity of the defender. Eds Haynes , forest profession, has been working in Yotsuba City for more than ten years."
"He often comes to Frostleaf Castle." Danelfein said, "I also know him. He is a hard-working and good man, and he once served as a mercenary in the adventurer team."
"Yes, Eze was once a member of the Knox Mercenary Group, which means that this group of adventurers is likely to be related to the Tower of Sky. They have been causing trouble for us in Winnivas, and I am also learning about it. They found out about it later."
Lemons made no attempt to hide the conflict. His actions may have drawn rebuke from other cardinals, but Bishop Edgar was different from the others.
The bishop said nothing.
"Soon the White Envoy came to Wineworth. He raided the Lancoste family's manor, took away the gold cup after killing the invited master of appraisal, and we were powerless to stop him from walking away." The Holy Knight Commander After a pause, the Priestess continued: "We are not even allowed to stay in Venevoise."
"He is not qualified to make decisions for the lord." Even so, Danlfien didn't think there was any harm in Bai's approach. The messenger saved my life, but the danger was due to the Council's negligence. She admitted that she had a favorable impression of the Paladin and Bishop Edgar, but this favorable impression was not enough to offset the bad consequences of the demon hunting campaign.
She changed the subject: "That's why the messenger came to Winnie Watts. But why did he want to snatch the gold cup?"
