"Then he shouldn't have told me." Linde replied. He actually managed to be patient. "The person who really calls the shots is Lord Ravenus."
"But we hope that the wizards will leave Beacon Town. Lord Ravenus is far away in the royal capital of Iron Claw City. If you go back and forth like this, time will be wasted on the journey. The situation of the Gulf War has just become clear. It is not too late for you to leave Eastman now. .”
"We must find the lost scripture." Lind insisted. "There is evidence that vampires should be responsible for the crime of stealing the scripture."
nonsense. Uriel thought to himself. The culprit is the Black Knight, and no one knows the whole story better than him. Well, to be honest, he actually has part of the responsibility here. "You will leave immediately after finding the holy book?" he asked deliberately.
The wizard was not fooled. "This is a necessary task. I must get instructions from Lord Ravenus before I can take the next step." After the initial surprise, Lind Punabag quickly returned to normal. His tone was no longer cautious, and his eyes shone with a sharp gaze that looked through the apprentice's heart. "You said you came on behalf of your mentor. Padawan. Can't he get away now?"
"The White Envoy went to find the Witch. We heard about the assassination that took place in Tide Sound Castle." Uriel saw that Lind's face became a little ugly between the two Kongjing Lords. "He sent me here for a reason. Mr. Linde, I am still an apprentice in the tower, not in the mysterious field." Since the wizard intends to treat him and the tower separately, Uriel can also give the other party equal treatment. respect.
"The School of Silence will not bow to Croita," Lynde Punabag finally said. "To tell you the truth, boy, there is no use for you to find me. We will not flee Knight's Cove like sparrows frightened by a slingshot. Even if your mentor personally orders it. This is related to the honor of the school——"
"You have no honor." Uriel interrupted him, "Eastman is a vassal state of the tower, and it is also my motherland. You have come here all the way from the Wizard's Cliff, looking for a mysterious holy book that you lost carelessly. Code. Eastman generously gave you the right of passage and all the assistance within his power. However, when the Garden of Flowing Waters was flooded, the wizards watched the people in the lower reaches of the Golden Bird River being displaced. The Silent School believes in the goddess Gaia, and I Same, but even people who don’t care about religious ideas understand what kind of honor should be counted among ungrateful people.”
"Your accusation is completely false! The Church of Gaia is rescuing civilians in every disaster-stricken town. This should be your job." Linde declared, "Kloetta is indifferent to Eastman. This is That's how you treat your vassals. Eastman has always been the Theocracy of Gaia, and perhaps the Tower should hand over its ownership of the mystical realm to the School."
"My mentor almost died in Six Fingers Castle." Uriel pointed out coldly. "But the wizards allowed the starless night to provoke order." The Silent School obviously understood this, and it was from the wizards that the lion learned the identity of the attacker.
"As for demons, we can burn one to death every two days in Beacon Town on average. Last week, the church even caught a family--the son is a demon. The whole family knew it, but they didn't hide it. There are also a few little ghosts, about the same age. You're about the same. The ascetics have dealt with them according to law. How can you call this an indulgence of demons?"
Uriel touched the scroll of oath in his pocket. calm. You have to ask. "How many gang members are there among them?"
"No. Those guys are very cunning, even if they send out the Cross Knights. Moreover, the church power also suffered heavy losses in the flood, we can't just leave. Looking for the holy book is one thing, fighting against the devil is another. In Regarding the latter, the School of Silence and the Tower of Sky have the same obligations.”
I've been fooled, Uriel thought. He shouldn't have mentioned the devil at all. Joey had warned him when they were on the ship, but... when they sneaked into Lighthouse Town, they didn't enter through the main entrance, so they couldn't see the hanging heads. The devil will naturally be burned to death, while the ordinary people who harbor the devil only need to be beheaded. Mercury Lord Rametta destroyed the Six Fingers Castle, and the wizards of the school responded immediately. Isn’t that what the world is like?
"Do you want to make a move?" The wizard did not ignore his movement. "Sign with me, boy? You come on behalf of your mentor and the tower, as if it were words spoken from someone's mouth. Listen, School We won’t leave Beacontown, that’s our duty.”
Useless. Uriel understood that the measures taken by Joey were correct, and communication could not change anyone's mind. He thinks he can understand things rationally and move people emotionally, because he is good at using these things to force people into submission. Essentially it's the same thing.
It's not like there aren't other ways to avoid conflict. How much does it cost to buy a mysterious pivot? Even the Eastman royal family couldn't do it. If the tower could pay "Confessions" in exchange for the wizards retreating, things would indeed be much easier to handle. But this is impossible to achieve. Some people are never satisfied.
"Your duty lies." Uriel repeated, "I have heard this sentence ten times. This time is the eleventh time, Lynde Punabag. Do you know how I answered you?"
The wizard frowned. "Pretend to be a ghost."
"I killed you three times, Linde. The first time the topic of the Gulf War turned to demons, the second time we took the lead in talking about alliances and contracts, and the third time was the most surprising. I asked about the Witch of Destiny and Earl of the Bay, then I showed you the holy book." The apprentice felt that the eyes on him were still full of suspicion. He forced himself to smile. "You promise to lead the team away and leave tonight."
"Are you an astrologer?" Linde raised his voice.
I almost did it. "It's not important, Mr. Punabag. I find that for you, the importance of the Holy Scriptures far exceeds duty and honor, and even takes precedence over the orders of His Excellency the Law Wizard."
The wizard seemed to have decided that he was an astrologer. "It is my duty to retrieve the holy book. Boy, I am more curious about how you thought you could kill me. Do you want to give it a try? Or do you think the White Envoy will come to take revenge on me after you seek your own death? ?”
"Since it was you who died, I don't need to answer your questions. Linde Punabag, you didn't have to die the third time. We even reached an agreement. This all depended on your sudden change of attitude. "
The tall wizard snorted from his nostrils. "I'm interested in taking a guess. Could it be that I asked you what you did to Brother Azby in the Silverdome City Church?"
"You mentioned this name for the fifth time." Uriel told him, "You also know the answer. I killed him. But I never kept it as a secret. Use the truth potion to ask Iaconi Fairwin, Or the local bishop, and you’ll understand who’s responsible.”
"We know everything. You sneaked into the church and slaughtered people. You left the dead in every church and monastery from Iron Claw City to Knight's Cove. The School of Silence will remember this blood debt. Come on, tell me, what did you do then? Changed your mind?" He stared.
never mind. Uriel was not surprised. "I asked you if you know anything about Six Finger Castle."
"I'm afraid no one knows that. So it's because I don't show enough regret?"
"I'm sorry. My question was more precisely, 'Have you ever thought about Six Fingers Fort being flooded?' and you answered me, 'No, it's too bad, it's causing some trouble for traffic.'"
"Am I still happy about my current predicament?" Linde tapped his fingers on the table. "And I'm not an astrologer, kid."
It has nothing to do with astrology, it’s the mystical profession Gaia gave me. "Whether you believe it or not, I can tell lies." Uriel took out the "Confessions" and placed it on the windowsill. He saw an obvious muscle twitch on Lind Punabag's face that was difficult to conceal. "You are lying. You have known for a long time that Starless Night planned to destroy the Six Fingers Castle and destroy the Golden Bird River Dam." There was a deep chill in his voice. "Lord Mercury wants to destroy the levees, and you want more, like Eastman."
Lind Punabag's mouth moved, as if he was grinding his teeth. "Is this your conclusion?"
"There is a lot of evidence." Uriel explained to him one by one. "The first is your attitude. Why did you agree to the deal with the Holy Code after I mentioned the witch? After that, I tried many times and finally confirmed that you were in I made some tricks secretly. It was related to Ms. Helen, who was assassinated recently; secondly, in Six Finger Castle, when I took Roma to the shuttle station, and the dark wizard set a trap inside. Before that, it had been The wizards of the school are using the Ladder, and if they hadn’t colluded with you, this trap would have been impossible to set up.”
The wizard was unmoved: "The ladder is not our property. Are there any more?"
"The last thing is that question. The Silent School is one of the allies of Order. I don't seem to have any reason to doubt you. But unfortunately, I learned about the Six Finger Castle from Brother Azby. This is... mine Personal reasons. I was very angry at you for standing on the sidelines, so I asked that."
The room fell into dead silence.
