"Are you leaving?" In the small courtyard in front of Wang Yu's house in Aleister City, the orc Emon and his boss Elliot and Wang Yu were talking, and Wang Yu asked a little strangely.
"Well, the suppression of the Night Church in the Royal City has become more and more serious recently. Before, it was just targeting us on the ground of the Royal City and not allowing us to conduct missionary activities. Now it has escalated to using very poor reasons to arrest the followers of the Lady of the Night. Went to the dungeon."
Elliot was a little helpless. The face of this little goblin showed hesitation and reluctance. It was obvious that he felt uncomfortable making this decision.
"There have also been a lot of gangs targeting our Night Church in Wangcheng Shadow recently. Although it seems to have nothing to do with the attacks from Wangcheng, according to the analysis of Holo and the boss, these should also be caused by the things he did before. organization’s handiwork.”
Eamon added next to him, making Wang Yu further aware of the situation of the Night Church in the Royal City at this time. It was basically considered a formal cult.
Lady Night's faith is registered, but under the overt and covert "special care", the situation is no different from some cults that will be attacked by the Blade of Night.
"We will choose a suitable day to leave the Royal City. It should be the latest. We are responsible for looking for a place first. Find a place for the Church of Night to develop stably and spread the faith of the Lady of the Night. Later, we should take away the believers of the Royal City. , take whatever you can and are willing to take to new places.”
Elliot told Wang Yu, the titular archbishop, about his plan. I don’t know when, but the little goblin businessman who was pulled to help Wang Yu with the construction of the Night Church gathering place because of his acquaintance had already He is a very important member of the Church of the Night and a loyal believer of the Lady of the Night.
Elliot's connections, his vision, his accumulation of wealth, and even his business experience all make him the perfect choice to open up a new base for the Church of Nightfall outside the royal city, and even outside the Kingdom of Arestle. select.
"Oh, it's true. It's really pitiful to go here. I have accumulated a lot in the royal city. I can earn gold coins honestly. It's true. At that time, this old guy Holo proposed the idea of moving the stronghold. This guy Eamon I immediately suggested taking the lead."
Elliot muttered, with a hint of annoyance in his tone, and kicked the thick thigh of the orc next to him.
"Yes, the boss has made a lot of sacrifices for this. I will work hard and try to make back the money that the boss lost as soon as possible." A silly smile appeared on the orc's face, and he scratched his cheek. He said it seriously.
"Why? It's all about your strength? You can't pay back the gold coins I lost this time by being my bodyguard. I'm so angry."
The more Elliot thought about it, the angrier he became. The roots of the goblin's unique long, pointed ears, which were shorter than those of the elves, turned slightly red.
"Then let's work for the rest of our lives first," Eamonn responded.
"Hmph, don't worry about dying in any bandit attack." Elliot snorted coldly, expressing his disdain for Eamon's words.
Looking at the boss and his bodyguard who kept bickering, Wang Yu knew that these two guys had a good relationship. He really didn't expect that Elliot, a goblin who loved money, was actually willing to abandon himself in the royal city for the Church of Night. 's foundation.
What is so attractive about the Church of Night, which was established under his watch and is essentially a group of alien races helping each other? Wang Yu doesn’t know.
But I can understand part of it, it is a certain sense of belonging, or a cherishment of a place where I can be treated equally.
"Then I wish you all the best. By the way, where is Ms. Wenna? Why didn't you see her?" Wang Yu smiled and wished Elliot could successfully complete his mission of leaving the royal city to find a new gathering place, and asked Elliot Where is the second employee, Ms. Elf Ranger.
"Oh, Wenna will also go with us. She went to bring Mr. Zig's sister over. It's not suitable for us to let her stay there now. Let her stay with you later. For a while, then let Mr. Sieg come and take care of you."
"Saint Darkness likes this smart and sensible little half-dragon girl very much. She gave her a permanent blessing of night protection. It should be the same as staying in the Church of Night and being blessed by the goddess."
As Elliot said, the sound of a carriage was also heard outside the yard. A carriage stopped at the door of Wang Yu's house, and two people, one tall and one short, stepped out, their faces covered with hoods.
Wang Yu, who had already noticed the two of them, opened the door to the courtyard and let them in. One of the taller hooded men took off his hood, revealing the delicate face of an elf underneath, with a serious expression and a slight smile. The scar is definitely Ms. Wenna.
"Noelle, follow Mr. Wang Yu carefully. We have told your brother that he will come to pick you up later."
Wenna knelt down, took off the hat of the dragon girl Noelle, and showed a smile. This elf lady, who was always cold-faced in Wang Yu's impression, was very gentle at the moment, and squeezed her childish and babyish look. Fat face, said.
"Okay, sister Wenna, I'll be waiting here."
The girl with the conspicuous dragon horns nodded seriously, very well-behaved.
"If you encounter any danger, just hold the pendant given to you by Saint Darkness. Lady Night will protect you, do you understand?"
After touching Noelle's red hair, Wenna warned.
"Yes." Noelle held the small metal pendant carved in the shape of the Lady of the Night on his chest and nodded seriously again.
Wang Yu felt a very strong aura of Lady Night's power from it. This should be what provided Noel with shelter.
"Then when can I see everyone in the Night Church again?" Noelle stared at Wenna and asked pitifully.
"Soon, when the royal city calms down and the war with Seventan is over, we will almost be able to find a new stronghold. Then just ask your brother to bring you to play with us." Wenna said softly. With.
"You should study hard the magic fire that Mr. Holo taught you. He said that not only are you very talented in fire magic, but your body contains unimaginable power of life. The magic fire is definitely the most suitable power for you. one."
Wenna took out an old red book from the pocket behind her. What was engraved on it was a hand with a blazing flame burning in the palm of her hand, and handed it to Noelle.
Noelle held the book in his arms, and then waved vigorously to Elliot and his group who were about to leave, "Goodbye, I will come back to see you all!"
"I wish everything goes well, Ms. Night bless you!" Wang Yu also waved his hand seriously to say goodbye.
"Mr. Wang Yu, take care."
"Lady Night bless you."
“I’ll contact you later when you’ve settled down!”
The responses from the three people came. Looking at the backs of the three acquaintances who left at the corner of the street, Wang Yu still felt a little emotional. The world is very big, and ultra-long-distance communication is not very developed. He doesn't know when we will see each other again. .
But there seems to be nothing to worry about. Anyway, there is a prayer communication network. Although he can't use it, it is okay to ask the girl to help contact him.
Thinking of this, Wang Yu's little emotion disappeared. He glanced at Noel next to him, who was still looking at the direction of the three people's departure. The next step was to wait for Sieg to come over, but just let him wait like this?
"Hmm... Well, can you lend me your book on Spell Fire?"
Wang Yu planned to say something, but in the end he didn't know what to say to this dragon girl who was a little too young mentally. In the end, he decided to focus on the book of Spell Fire in Noelle's hand. .
To be honest, Wang Yu was very curious about what was written in this book that seemed to have a new power different from witchcraft, spells, and fighting spirit.
"Okay." Noelle was probably a little confused by Wang Yu's words, but he still handed the Spell Fire book to Wang Yu without hesitation.
"Thank you, alas." Wang Yu took the book with great interest, and then let out an ouch, which sounded quite funny and...deliberate.
Well, because Wang Yu had long noticed that Aviya was approaching, the little mage pushed Wang Yu's lower back with his elbow with some dissatisfaction, and Wang Yu also made strange screams in cooperation.
"Go to the house with your sister. Stay outside and let the wind blow. If you have any questions about magic, you can ask me. I remember that you were able to cast second-level magic last time, right?" Aviya said softly. Noelle's hand led her into the house.
Aviya and Noelle knew each other. Aviya, who helped the professor complete the engraving of the magic circuit on the dragon's body every week, would also help guide Noelle's magic work class.
As expected of a race with a natural affinity for magic, dragons, as a young red dragon, Noelle's talent in fire magic is not inferior to that of Aviya, a true genius.
Shaking his head, watching Aviya bring Noelle into the house, Wang Yu picked up the book "The Fire of Spells" that he was very interested in. It seemed that, sure enough, he was not very good at getting along with children, or Ai Weiya. Wei Ya is reliable.
…
"Sister Aviya, do you think my brother thinks I am a burden? He is always busy and rarely comes to see me. After coming to the Kingdom of Aleister, he spent more time learning knowledge. On."
"Although everyone in the Night Church is very kind to me, no one regards me as a dragonborn as an alien, and Saint Darkness also takes good care of me, but"
The red-haired dragon girl sitting at the dining table of Wang Yu's family asked Aviya, who was sitting opposite with a magic book, ready to instruct Noelle in a slightly low tone.
"Mr. Sieg?" Listening to Noel's question, Aviya put down the fire magic book in her hand, and then thought carefully about her impression of Sieg, Wang Yu's evaluation of Sieg as his boss, and Some of my own thoughts...
"No, Mr. Sieg is a very gentle man and is very serious about his work. Because of this, he has many things to do. If he doesn't come to you, it's definitely not because you are dragging him down, but because he is It’s been really busy.”
The little mage told the dragon girl about his understanding of Qi Ge. The figure and questions of the dragon girl in front of her gradually overlapped with her former self in Aviya's eyes.
When I was first rescued by Wang Yu, I was very unsure of myself, especially when I looked at Wang Yu who looked indifferent no matter what bad situation he faced.
When Wang Yu proposed to be her knight's attendant for a year, in fact, apart from his good impression of Wang Yu, he felt uneasy, worried that he was dragging him down and might be abandoned.
When you get something precious, you will always worry about gain and loss. A girl who has lost a loved one or been betrayed will regard the hard-earned people she can rely on as extremely precious.
However, after testing out the extremely powerful dual talents of wizards and spells, showing powerful alchemical abilities, and being able to use powerful spells, Aviya discovered that Wang Yu's attitude towards her has not changed at all, no matter what she has No talent, is it strong...
It was also under the influence of Wang Yu that Aviya regained her own confidence and found what she truly valued in fighting side by side with the two of them again and again.
There's no such thing as one being a drag on the other, they both need each other, that's it.
"Don't worry, if you still feel that you are dragging down your brother, you can become stronger quickly. Your fire magic talent is very good, and it won't take too long. As long as you work hard and learn, you will soon become stronger. Are you confident that we can help Mr. Sieg?"
Aviya's tone was brisk and she asked Noelle, who was still a little confused, just like Wang Yu asked her if she had the confidence to redeem her castle with her abilities.
Aviya's words were very effective, pointing out the direction Noelle could move forward, which made the dragon girl's eyes filled with a different kind of light.
"Yeah!" The dragon girl responded.
…………
"Oh, it's such a wonderful power. It's a bit like fighting spirit, but not exactly the same. It's expressed in a similar way to a spell, but the source of the power is not magic power, but your own vitality. It's essentially a variant of Druid's life spell. .”
"The stronger one's own vitality and the more advanced the life form, the more powerful the magical fire produced by burning one's own dissipated vitality."
"Although Sieg's sister is just a young red dragon, she is a dragon after all. No wonder the talent is so amazing in the eyes of Holo, a druid."
"I feel like I can use this thing too..."
Wang Yu put his finger on his chin and thought about it. The more he looked at the book "The Fire of Spells" that he "cheated" from Noel, the more interesting it became to Wang Yu.
Moreover, the content in it that clearly had nothing to do with fighting spirit made Wang Yu feel that the two were somewhat related.
Wang Yu, who was pondering, raised his head, and his keen five senses had already allowed him to sense the person coming. Still wearing the neat clothes, with his trademark gentle smile, Chigurh stood outside Wang Yu's yard, knocking on the door gently with his hand.
"Come to pick up your sister?" Wang Yu smiled and opened the door.
"Well, although I am an incompetent brother, at least I can't fail to pick up my sister."
Sieg showed a somewhat embarrassed expression. He had always felt that as an older brother, he was not very qualified, whether in terms of companionship or teaching.
"There is also some information about the royal family's targeting of Lady Night's faith. The royal family is indeed increasing its efforts to eliminate the Night Church, with the purpose of weakening the influence of Lady Night's faith in the royal city."
"This is a very simple theory in magic. The smaller the influence of the gods here, the smaller the power of the magic here. The same is true for the effect of the prayer communication network. This is their purpose.
"Tsk, it seems that moving the Night Church to another location is indeed a good choice."
Wang Yu curled his lips. The atmosphere of the Night Church was indeed incompatible with both the shadow of the royal city and the entire royal city.
"I will tell you some special information this time. The royal family has also considered that the Nightfall Church may choose to move away, so it has set up some personnel in the name of private soldiers around the royal city to be responsible for tracking the Nightfall Church and leaving the scope of the royal city. , you can do it easily..."
Sieg's tone was serious and dignified.
"Damn it." Wang Yu's brows twitched with veins and he cursed.
"The Church of Night has a very good relationship with our Night Blade, so we will not watch them be attacked. We will use the authority of the Night Blade to organize a team to deal with the problems of nearby villages in name. In fact, we will The team composed of the first migrating members of these Night Churches left the city directly."
"But, when the team returns, it will be seen because of the number of people." Wang Yu asked.
"It doesn't matter. Although we, the Night Blade, are nominally loyal to the royal family, we are only truly responsible for the entire kingdom. Obviously, the influence of the Night Church on the entire kingdom is absolutely positive. Therefore, even if it is noticed, It doesn’t matter, it’s also a statement.”
"Okay, I like it." Wang Yu raised his lips.
The two men bumped their fists.
