"Heresy?" Linde pondered this accusation.
"He was not only born in the church, but also received the priesthood under the blessing of the goddess. He should have set an example for the church." Tedonaradu sighed, "It's a pity that the Eastman Kingdom is too far away from the sacred kingdom of Gaia, and the local bishop did not Being able to guide him well is why we unfortunately lost this rare comrade."
I feel deeply sorry for it too. "Perhaps this is the will of the goddess. She guides the believers of the church to pay attention to remote places and promote the spread of faith. Unreliable guides will break trust in God. The Gaia Church and the school of thought belong to the same body. How can we sit back and watch you get into trouble?" Linde spoke. He didn't even adjust his expression to a kind expression. Anyway, the Nightingale leader opposite was much more experienced than him in this regard, and his hypocritical smile was unconvincing. "Depending on the situation, perhaps the Ascetics and Theologians will devote more attention to the church to assist you. The Judge is just the beginning."
Tedonaradu sniffed in displeasure. "The main mission of a judge is to eradicate demons. There is no need to waste energy on small things."
“Without them, the church wouldn’t be able to solve even small problems.”
"After all, my lord, I am not a warrior."
The guy was a master at deflecting responsibility, and Lind realized that it would be difficult for him to get Fang Yan to comply with conventional methods. Aimok was not worthy enough to carry his shoes. This damn Nightingale deliberately took the punishment on that idiot bishop, I bet.
Despite this, the attitude of the Nightingale leader made him somewhat reassured. Linde knew many stubborn monks who would rather worship miracles in front of stones than believe in the existence of truth. A bunch of hopeless fools. But if fools welcome any messenger of the goddess or even a wizard, the school will be disgraced. It was his turn to be unlucky in front of Lord "Tattoo". Before, Linde didn't care about the ideological differences in the church, but now he has no choice but to not care.
"The Judge is not just wiping your butts when he is idle every day. Recently, the hunters discovered a small demon society in the Mint Field, and they are busy cleaning the room to bring order. Let's talk about it." He ordered, "With the Paperclip Mercenary Group, Why help that apprentice?"
"Uriel is no longer an apprentice, although his mentor has not yet granted him a graduation ceremony. The tower messenger is a special position, the same as the patrol messenger of the White Envoy. This is enough to prove his status in the Tower of Croy."
Thinking of Bai Zhizhi, Linde felt uncomfortable all over. There was no way I could do anything to the White Envoy, who was Croita's longest-serving commander. No matter the holy book or something, as long as he wants to take it, people will make way for him. You have to hide even if you don't let him. Perhaps the only thing he can't get is the truth. Even "Tattoo" looked like a mortal in front of the White Envoy. Linde really hoped that he would die in the Six-Finger Fort. "The Paperclip Mercenary Group wants to gain Croita's favor?"
"Perhaps not the decisive reason. The Paperclip Mercenaries are war mercenaries who specialize in providing help to both sides in large-scale wars. They should be impartial. But their most famous deed is to defend the motherland and fight against Brestatik. Declaring war is indeed a heroic act." Tedonaradu praised dryly, "Generally speaking, even if such an action does not persuade the employer to quit, it will lead to revenge from the Bures people. However, the Paperclip Mercenary Group is still in disarray. He was so good that he was even hired to participate in the Lords’ War of Bures.”
"How can a group of mud-legged adventurers get the respect?" Linde felt incredulous.
"This group of adventurers is backed by the Gem Merchant Guild and is based in Faftanna, the country of mist elves."
"Is this fact, or is it your 'cautious' speculation?"
"This is not difficult to verify, my lord. You know very little about the world of the lower classes."
Why should the Paperclip Mercenary Group help Uriel? Or is this the hand of friendship from the fog elves? "I haven't heard that Croita has a secret communication with Fife Tanner."
"The relationship between the tower and the fog elves is normal, sir. There was also an accident where the 'Earl of Red Valley' swallowed the tower ring. No one is sure whether she did it on purpose. The problem lies with the mercenaries." Neither did the leader of Nightingale. Telling the truth, "In addition to favors and status, there are legitimate ways to gain the support of the Paperclip Mercenary Group. Obviously, this guy paid the bill."
Unexpected. "Where did he get the money?" The wealth required to hire war mercenaries may only be paid by the big lords. After all, it itself is a weapon for large-scale wars. Could it be that the tower is really helping behind the scenes...
"As far as I know, a large number of wanted arrests in Danlau have been announced recently. The city defense team is very busy, and the bounty hunters have almost changed careers. Even the local security has improved by two levels. In a sense, our The messenger really looks like a messenger of justice."
"What's the use of Gaia's need for justice? He is a merciful mother." At this time, it is helpful to echo the fanatic believers.
Tedonaradu smiled. "Of course...but now is not the time for mercy, we must protect His honor."
"Easy said. How?"
"How to deal with heretics, deal with them." Leader Nightingale lost his smile. When he is serious, his voice is like a snake spitting messages. "There is no need to worry about the Paperclip Mercenary Group. They will never be able to defend their employer like they defend Cat Hill."
"That's because their employer doesn't need to be defended. Uriel and that damn drow - I should have killed him in Knight's Bay - can only be dealt with by archbishop-level clerics." Of course Lind himself can do it, but now The situation was still under control and it wasn't worth the risk for him personally. "There is also a Theta adventurer. I really don't know how he gathered this team. Aimok plans to solve the opponent with his own strength. Do you have a better way?"
"I said, deal with his team first. Since the Paperclip mercenaries accepted his employment, they may betray them for a higher price."
"Unless you plan to collect your own bounty, Tedonaradu, this won't work."
"It's not a matter of wealth, my lord. If we claim that the other party is connected to the demon society..."
"Who? Uriel?"
"Adventurer. Croita is not a decoration. No demon dares to penetrate the astrologer's territory. What's more, the White Envoy himself is a resident demon hunter, and his apprentice will never associate with the demon's companions. Sir, are you willing? It is a ready reason to send a judge to assist.”
Lind thought for a moment. "It is easy to prove that the fire does not belong to the nameless one, but it is always inevitable to deal with the devil unintentionally." He picked up the death list on the desk, "Now the judges are dealing with a bad incident in which the detection station colluded with the devil. This This kind of thing is simply impossible to prevent.”
"It's hard to guard against it. It's not his fault. But knowing that the collaborators may have connections with the devil, of course the alliance cannot exist."
"Why can't it be someone else, Tedonaradu? For example, that drow. The Paperclip Mercenary Group is nothing. The key is the mystery of these two high rings."
"It's still the same thing. Uriel will not associate with the unknown... It is not easy to let people believe lies, my lord. Sita York Shain is a member of the mercenary group that Eastman's former garrison joined. And that drow , he didn’t just come from anywhere to make up the numbers.”
"You don't know, Tedonaradu," Linde told him, "I know that guy. He doesn't have a good background, does he?"
"Indeed. But he fought alongside the White Envoy on Gray Wing Island. No Nameless One can hide under the nose of the Tower Commander."
Lind gritted his teeth when he realized that he had asked a stupid question. Not to mention he is such a wizard, not even the Pope dares to say that the White Envoy is harboring the devil. The accusations against Dalton and York are all unfounded. It seems that only the Paperclip Mercenary Group can make a fuss. Forget it, why bother worrying about these things? I just need results. "Since you have a plan, do it quickly." He said, "Otherwise, you will envy Aimok's fate."
"What happened to our Lord Bishop?"
"If he fails again, he will have to preach to rats."
The leader of Nightingale smiled. He bowed to Linde without any respect, then put on the disguise of a cross knight and pushed open the door. The wizard realized that the other party was not afraid of his threat, but he would try his best for the time being. After all, the apprentice appeared out of nowhere and was shaking the foundations of the church, and they had the same goal.
When I saw His Holiness the Pope "Tattoo", the leader of the judges, Kilbewick, was already waiting in the hall. This is a gloomy and boring person, and you can get a glimpse of it from his appearance. He wore the armor of a Cross Knight and was even more meticulous than the disguised Nightingale leader. His chest is covered with medals, a seven-pointed star armband is worn on his shoulder, and his right hand rests on the hilt of his sword. He looked straight and held his head high, even though his forehead was covered with old wrinkles. He looks like a dedicated guard dog. However, every priest who passed by had to bow to him.
Linde had met him once in the wizarding world. At that time, this guy was just a temporary demon hunter, hesitating in front of the gate of the theological sect. Lord Roxanne granted him the gift on behalf of the goddess, but it was too late. Poor old Kilbywick will have to be helped to the toilet in a few years. Linde simply did not believe that he could still lead troops in battle. The judge did not belong to him, and the so-called leader was just a title.
The Pope was very interested, as usual: "Dear friend, Linde! When I see you again, I really hope I have good news to share with you." His face suddenly changed, "I'm afraid none of us have."
Linde realized something was going on. Kilbewick complained to him? Or do the theological factions want to intervene in church disputes? "I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
"No, what are you sorry for? I want to reward you. You have handled the church's recent affairs in an orderly manner and brought me a surprise." Jizuk said with a bright smile, "Surprise, Linde, surprise." His performance Unnerving to the wizard.
"I haven't realized that yet, Your Majesty."
