"Why is this?"
"The reason is not yet clear... but they are missing now. The envoy found the gang's camp first. When the bishop arrived, there was no one alive there." The white-robed priest paused, "The end of the villain .”
Gangster? I've never seen anything like that. There is no soil for these people to survive in Quatrefoil, but Winnie Watts is different. "Good job." The girl was a little scared subconsciously. Bai Zhizhi really helped her a lot. It's just that villains also need to be judged by the law. Don't forget where you stand, Dandelphine told herself.
The bedroom fell silent.
"Is there anything else you want to say, Miss Priest?"
Arabella was unmoved by the count's subtle hints. "We didn't have that much fun talking in Bonfire Town." She made up her mind not to leave like this. Although she also knew that Danlfion could never escape like he did in Greenbrier City. "It's still about the church. I hope to get your approval."
The Glorious Council plans to set up a branch and a church in the Ice Territory, but Danfion has never thought that anyone would make such a request. Sir Nedon immediately agreed to the meeting - Delphine wanted to open his head and see what kind of paste was inside.
"It's a small matter." When he expressed his stance on behalf of the count, the Lord of the Ice Territory sat next to him. Sir Neden has no problem handling some trivial matters, but when it comes to major decisions concerning the stability of the territory, even the underage Danlfien can see clearly better than him.
If Ans hadn't stopped her, the girl might have stood up and refuted on the spot: The Ice Territory has always been a place of freedom of belief where the kingdom does not interfere. The establishment of churches is not decided by the lord, but is basically built by the people of the territory. The Lancasters themselves made the law and threw the cost of building churches and cathedrals on their subjects.
As for the current beliefs of Venivas: Not to mention the state religion Gaia Church, even Berti, who is second only to the goddess of virtue, does not have a few magnificent churches - the largest one is because the demon hunting movement has ended, and people are fighting for them. Newly built by the little lord. A few hours ago, Danelfion chose to accept the lord's installation ceremony there.
If you want to be accepted by the Ice Territory, you must wear the name "Berti's Norn". Dandelfion felt that it would be better to gain the support of the Veniwasse than to please the local priest Alik, who had a lukewarm attitude towards the goddess Gaia. The latter is completely easy and can also divert the faith of the Church of Gaia. If Sir Nedon gets involved with Alric, she can use Berti's church to see the truth of the matter.
The spread of new beliefs is a good thing for her, but if it must come at the cost of people's trust, it is better not to agree. After the Demon Hunting Movement, the Council of Light actually dared to openly request the establishment of a church. For a moment, Danlfion felt that he was extremely tolerant for not expelling the original missionaries of the Goddess of Light from the territory of Veniworth. Action taken.
Interrupting meetings is not easy for participants, but it is necessary. Ansa spilled a cup of milk tea on her skirt, and Danlfien did not give any hint to the maid, such as that this was her favorite skirt. You can't blame Ansa. Anyway, after the incident was over, she contentedly changed into her pajamas in the bedroom, while the white-robed priest knocked on the Earl's door like a ghost.
"Miss Reese, you know this matter is non-negotiable."
She decided to end the argument with one sentence. "It is not difficult to build a church. What is difficult is to prevent it from being demolished by the angry citizens the next day. This is not the Four-leaf City, let alone Zangwill. There are more than a dozen murders in Winniewats every day. cases, and among them, the unlucky ones who were killed because of their secret belief in Lucia can account for one-third."
When the severe situation was revealed in front of the priest, her expression was very peaceful. "This is exactly why I made the request." Arabella said slowly. "If people boycott Parliament to the point of killing people because of their beliefs, it is even more important that someone should tell them the truth. Guide them, correct them, tell these poor people the truth." What is the right path for people? This is our responsibility."
"I assume you haven't read the file from the Whinney Watts Sheriff's Department."
"I will not go beyond the rules without the lord's permission."
"Thank you for your respect, Arabella." The girl softened her tone slightly, "I am happy to facilitate you with some small things." Otherwise, who knows if you will regard me as a mascot? "Then you must not know that a terrible thing happened in Winnivas a few weeks ago: the body of a Lucian missionary was found in an alley. He was burned alive."
"Goddess." Priestess whispered.
"After the investigation by the Public Security Bureau and the assistance of Father Alik, we were able to discover that the murderer was a werewolf - you must know this mysterious race better than I do. Veniworth was a werewolf settlement during the Crocane era. Fortunately, they It never crosses the boundary between day and night, and exists honestly as an urban legend... But they are believers in the Broken Moon, and have no good impressions of Lucia and her sun. They want me to change their thousands of years of belief, Even Berti can't do this."
Arabella wanted to say something, but Dandelphine didn't give her a chance. "The Ice Territory is not the Four Leaf Castle." I did more homework before coming here than you did. The girl put down the cold wine. "The establishment of the Church of Light will not be a friendly start, a platform to announce the truth and the parliament's difficulties, Arabella, it will be the source of unrest in Veniwaise. I am the lord here, and I have to deal with those mud-legged and dead-minded people. Fools are responsible. What they want is not the truth, but the venting of hatred."
"It is really difficult to change people's preconceived notions." Priestess bit her lip, "But if you blindly escape, the hatred will never be resolved."
"Don't you understand? It's not about escaping, it's about people not listening. The people of Venevoise are not free people. You have to take your time."
Delphine breathed a sigh of relief as Arabella left the room. She didn't have any skill in making concessions, so she persuaded from the perspective of a companion rather than a negotiator, which was more effective when dealing with a simple person like the white-robed priest. If it were Bishop Edgar, I wouldn't be able to fool him like this.
The fire was blazing in the fireplace. Delphine tasted the cold wine, and the midnight candlelight reminded her of the fireworks of the SparkFest. Wooden windows may be more windproof than glass, but I still want to see the scenery outside the window. She tightened the waistband, picked up the wine glass, and opened the cork. But at the same time, the door opened on its own.
The Priestess went and came back.
"Miss Reese." The cold wind blew against his face, but the new earl of the Ice Territory could no longer restrain his anger, "You can't—"
But the priest stepped on the carpet and rushed to the window, "Black Moon Tide!" Her cry could be heard in half the castle. "That's the projection, the projection that's coming to Venevoise! Oh my God, the mysterious land is spreading!"
Delphien suddenly turned his head and looked out the window. A silvery-white beam of light rose into the sky, cutting the night straight into two halves.
…
When the light mist dissipated, Uriel was still stunned.
How is this possible? He kept asking himself, how could Joey be caught by Aurora? She should have no power to fight back in front of Kongjing. He couldn't understand it at all. What the hell was this fact? !
There was a crash. "Uril! Uriel? Are you okay?" The light element fell from mid-air and smashed into a pile of gravel and ice. He groaned and climbed to his feet, calling his companion's name. "Meimi? Lord Messenger?"
"York!" Uriel was so immersed in the side effects of the Scroll of Oath that he almost didn't hear who was calling him. "Where have you been?" He gasped as he knelt on the ground.
"I broke the ice... no, it broke on its own... Hell, I turned into an elemental form and ended up as a bug in amber."
"Can't you change back?"
"It seems that I described it correctly." The adventurer was still frightened. He held his sword and looked around, "What happened?"
"Nikles. He took Meimei...and Bai."
The mercenary was surprised. "How could he do it?"
"He can make you unable to transform in the elemental state... Maybe the King of Alanvor is a mysterious person who transcends the sky. Only the fire is enough to deal with us."
"Fire?" The mercenary shook his head, "If he has that ability, why do he still talk nonsense to us?"
"Resurrection requires three conditions, one of which is a fixed time."
"You don't understand us, Uriel. Sita, no, all elemental beings, our state transitions may be interrupted by higher-level mysteries. I began to think that the messenger activated the magic." York explained, "So The other party might just be Kongjing."
"For me, it doesn't matter whether it's empty or higher."
Uriel's condition was not good, but these words were so reasonable that the adventurer could not think of any words of persuasion. "There is nothing we can do." The apprentice said, "How can we stop Niklos? I saw Shiro motionless. Even the Sky Realm can't do anything."
"There must be a way." York helped him up.
Of course there are ways, there are always ways. The point is I can't imagine it. Uriel leaned against the wall. I'm afraid the Scroll of Oath can no longer be used, it is completely ineffective; the power of the Knight of Proverbs needs to be learned, but the goblins and the Elf King of Alanwo did not give him time; as for York... the sky realm is of no use, he It's nothing more than death. Uriel knew very well that Meme and Joey were useful to them, and he only survived because of his luck. If York were to face off against Niklos and Aurora, the water fairy herself would be enough to deal with him.
"Where have they gone?"
"They disappeared in an instant." He replied, "But I guess they should be in Kamaria's palace, where the pillar of light is."
The adventurer drew his sword without thinking. "Then let's..." But he was immediately pressed down by Uriel. "It's better not to think about it this way."
"Can--"
"I know we must go there, York! But it's to save Meimi and Bai, not to die in vain!" He was a little impatient, why can't this guy use his brain? Could it be that elemental life doesn't have this structure? ? "Give me some time, York."
The adventurer was also very annoyed: "I don't have time for you. You can't think of a solution if you stay here. If you continue to stay here, you can think of it? I would rather do it than think!" He glanced at Uriel's shoulder And the wound on the arm, "You should take a rest first."
