In front of the Sadenko Cathedral, which is lined with towers, a stone staircase almost as wide as the main building of the church connects the towering gate and the square in front. Just the height of the main entrance requires you to look up.
In the center of the stone steps stands a simple pulpit, facing away from the door, but it has not been used for a long time.
In the past, there were so many believers in the Zakarum Holy See that the main hall of the church could not accommodate them at all, so there was this open-air pulpit. At that time, even the large square in front would be crowded by tens of thousands of people during the Holy See activities. The crowd was completely packed.
But that scene is long gone, not only because the influence of the Holy See has plummeted, but even the current city of Kaltim is far less prosperous than it used to be.
Mo Bei and his party arrived at the square before the deadline given in the announcement, and saw a crowd of onlookers who had arrived earlier than them. Although they were only gathered around the square, a rough estimate showed that there were still tens of thousands of people.
Seeing Conrad's appearance, there were constant noisy discussions among the crowd.
The members of those big families are naturally present. It is not an exaggeration to say that what is about to happen is directly related to their fate, so they have been waiting here for a long time.
Then there are the various ordinary residents living in the outer city, all waiting here with different purposes.
At this time, their identities and positions can be seen from the distribution of their positions. Nobles and servants, believers from all walks of life, and onlookers who have nothing to do with themselves have all found their own organizations and appear to be distinct.
Due to the different intentions of all parties, the ban was completely lifted in the inner city today. In addition, this matter has been fermenting for two consecutive days, and so many people, both related and unrelated, have gathered together, waiting to witness the outcome of this ruling.
There was a lively discussion in the big square, and the onlookers looked either excited or indifferent, each with their own thoughts.
In the chaotic crowd, there were still many people expressing their support for Conrad's side. It seems that the practice of selling various materials at low prices during this period has more or less earned a wave of favor from those who only care about immediate benefits. .
On the contrary, those whose actual interests were harmed by this did not have a good face, but no one dared to shout in person and just looked at them coldly.
Mo Bei looked across the square and saw a line of sergeants in bright armor and dark red capes standing on the stone steps in front of the cathedral.
A team of nearly a thousand people lined up neatly, uniformly dressed, and looked quite elite. They lined up in front of the majestic cathedral, giving them a full sense of oppression.
This was also the subject of discussion among the crowd in the square. Because it was approaching the deadline given by the Holy See, the Holy See’s armed forces were ready to leave. If Conrad did not arrive within the time announced by the Holy See, this small army would take action. Judgment on Conrad's side.
The Holy See suddenly adopted a tough attitude, but many people held a scornful wait-and-see attitude.
From their understanding, the power directly controlled by the Holy See is not enough to suppress the other major forces, and they have seen through their inaction to some extent. It can be said that they have no good impressions of the major forces that control the kingdom, but they are powerless, so these people Most of them hope to see a lose-lose outcome.
How could they not be aware of the embarrassing status of the Holy See, as well as all the past dealings and compromises.
Wiesel stood in front of the window of a church tower and saw the appearance of Conrad and his entourage, with a burning look in his eyes.
Looking back, I saw Tobias and Isidore, who had been sitting quietly on high-back chairs and waiting quietly, also stood up, hid all their emotions, and left the room with the other two bishops, but in their minds However, he is repeatedly deducing the development of things.
He has been planning this layout since the day when a large number of weapons serving the three parties were transferred to the Kurast seaport. After that, surprises continued to appear, and finally he used the desperate Virgil to promote the current situation. situation.
In order to seize this opportunity, he will do anything!
If nothing else goes wrong, today he will step on the square washed in blood and completely change this embarrassing position caused by the balance of power.
Whether internally or externally, this state of mutual restraint must be broken and a more efficient power system must be established!
Everyone from the Federation of Commerce and Industry also arrived early, and under the leadership of Borg, a crowd of people rushed to Conrad's side.
According to the requirements of the notice, these people only came to wait for the result of the ruling, and did not need to submit the source and operating principle of the generator device to the Holy See in detail like Conrad did.
The two parties gestured to each other with their eyes at a distance, but neither spoke, nor did the crowd continue to gather together. It seemed as if they were just tied together by fate, and they met symbolically.
The crowd moved together to the center of the square, and then Conrad stood out from the crowd and walked to the front of the steps of the cathedral under the gaze of countless eyes.
And Mo Bei and the others who were originally standing behind Conrad could always feel many eyes focused on them.
"Look, it's the Amazon you picked up in front of everyone."
Ned nudged Alvin with his foot, tapped the crowd next to him with his chin, and pointed him in the direction.
Alvin looked around, and sure enough he saw Tabetha staring at him sideways, looking a little malicious. After their eyes met, she straightened out her arrogant little breasts, and the malicious look in her eyes changed to There was a hint of provocation, and he still seemed to be brooding over what happened that day.
"She, what does she want to do..." Alvin was a little confused by Tabetha's performance.
Ned shrugged and gloated:
"Her sister has come to ask in person. What else can she want to do? I'm not done with you anymore. Who's to blame for your claws?"
Hearing Ned mentioning Tabetha's sister Valena, Alvin's eyes immediately lit up. He didn't know what he was thinking in his mind, but he leaned into Mo Bei's ear and asked:
"Um...can I give that bow back?"
Mo Bei glanced at him in confusion and responded casually:
"Of course you have the final say over the loot you capture."
As he spoke, he reached out to Milor. Although he disliked the base material, it was Amazon's equipment after all, so he handed it to her conveniently after getting it that day.
Milor took out the Divine Word Bow without hesitation and handed it to Alvin.
Alvin held the bow and smiled. He shook his head towards Tabetha, but saw that the other party's face immediately darkened and she began to gnash her teeth, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
Although the layer of animal skin on the bow had been removed, how could she not recognize Tabetha as the original owner? She immediately thought that Alvin was taunting her with the trophies he had seized from her in response to what she had just said. He was really angry at the provocation, but now was the time to not act rashly.
When Mo Bei saw this, he was speechless for a while. If he hadn't known Alvin's plan in advance, he would probably have thought that this guy was being sarcastic.
After Alvin reacted, he quickly made a gesture to offer his hands. Tabetha, who looked like a small explosive beast, was startled, showed a suspicious look, and hit her teammates who were helplessly watching. Saying hello, the four of them walked towards Mo Bei together.
"what do you mean?"
Looking at the divine language bow handed to her, Tabetha asked tentatively. According to her impression, the person in front of her did not seem like a good person who would do such a thing.
"Return the weapon to you!" Alvin stretched his bow forward with a playful smile.
"Why? What do you want?" Tabetha became more alert.
"Request? What are you talking about? We are all our own people. How can we make any demands? Just take it."
"Who is with your own people!"
Tabetha bared her teeth in shame and anger, but she grabbed the Divine Speech Bow in her hand unceremoniously. Recalling the embarrassing look on that day when he was held in the hands of this stupid bear, he thought that the other party was taking advantage of him verbally this time, and glared at Alvin angrily.
Mo Bei was speechless again when he saw this scene.
This is a hard tease. . .
But then, he heard Alvin say to Tabetha in an almost flattering tone:
"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, don't forget to tell your sister when you go back."
. . . .
Mo Bei suddenly realized.
Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong.
But these bastards are acting cheap, but they are only thinking about their big breasts!
