"… Hollier City's recent situation isn't too peaceful. There is already news that the Viper Cross has not given up on showing goodwill and roping in the nobles of the city. However, the situation is still under control. You can rest assured about this …"
Bishop Benjamin furrowed his brows as his quill swam across the yellowed parchment. He raised his hand to dip the tip of the quill into the ink bottle and continued writing. The "Viper Cross" he mentioned was a religious sect active in the southeast of the Empire. Although the name was similar to the "Rosy Cross", they were actually enemies that had lasted for decades. The other party split from the "Rosy Cross", and the founder twisted some of the teachings that originally belonged to the Rosy Cross. They then wantonly recruited believers in the southeast of the Kingdom, and in the end, they were unable to avoid the situation of "Li Kui meets Li Gui". About thirty years ago, the two sects had a series of conflicts, and now, it had resulted in a large number of casualties, to the point where they were as incompatible as fire and water.
"There are many children in the monastery with outstanding abilities, but Miss Sally's characteristics are something I've never seen before. Her path of magic cultivation will be smooth sailing, and she's already at the threshold of advancement. If possible, I hope to recommend the "Holy Cathedral of Rose" to focus on her. I will write another report on the specifics … "
"Everything is fine in Hollier. The Dukes Of Angmar's condition has not changed, but this is a bad sign. I suspect that his body will not last much longer. As for the internal affairs of the Lucifron Family …"
Replying to Bishop Rubens was one of Benjamin's tasks today. The old bishop was already sixty-three years old, but because he was a clergyman with the longest lifespan, his mental and physical condition had always been good. The reply to Rubens was Benjamin's "old friend". Both of them were "old colleagues" when they were young, so the tone of the letter was not too rigid.
After writing two whole parchments, Benjamin picked them up and blew on them, then put them aside to wait for the ink to dry. When he looked out of the window, he saw Sally, Chris, and the others chatting as they walked towards the church. The bishop smiled and sighed, "It's good to be young." He then turned around to seal the letter with wax.
Not far away, the sounds of chattering and discussion continued —
"Let's guess what story the poet is going to tell today … I think it's going to be, uh, something about mages?"
"Scouts, knights, squires … I mentioned that they went to the Wall of the Dead … Is that the Tasman Kingdom?"
"The Kingdom of the Undead! It sounds so scary, but I want to continue listening. Will we meet those walking dead people? "
Kris and the others were all excited about the story they were about to hear today. They walked briskly towards the church, but when they met the priest, they consciously restrained their expressions, and then continued to discuss in hushed voices —
"Ryan, if you're interested, you can ask him if he really experienced a battle. I think the things he said sounded real. For example, how soldiers treated their wounds after they were injured, what the enemies shouted when they ran away, and what he said in the Orc language that day. I can't remember it clearly, but it does sound like it's real!"
"It's impossible for anyone to understand the Orc language. Those guys speak in gibberish. Who can understand what they're saying?"
Ryan and Booker were no longer at each other's throats like they were in the morning. They walked in front of Sally and talked about the bard for a long time. However, neither of them noticed Sally standing behind them. The nun seemed to have thought of something interesting. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but she held back her laughter.
The scene where Roddy used the Orc language to scare the Wolf Riders and killed them with one slash left a deep impression on her. Sally wanted to laugh heartily when she thought of this, but then she felt an inexplicable emotion spreading in her heart. This made her a little flustered, but when she realized that no one was paying attention to her, she quickly followed Chris and the others into the back door of the church …
At the same time, Roddy stopped in front of the monastery outside the main entrance of the church.
The two temple guards who were bored to death raised their eyebrows and looked at the person standing in front of them with a puzzled expression. Just when they were about to ask the adventurer why he was here, they saw the adventurer mumble a few words that they could not understand. He then lifted his neck and looked at the surrounding buildings doubtfully.
Heh, another outsider who took a wrong turn.
The temple guards shut their mouths and lost interest in asking questions. They looked away.
The sound of the Vielle reverberated through the streets, and the atmosphere in front of the monastery seemed to be the same as usual. But in Roddy's eyes, everything had changed.
The 'Character Status Information Bar', 'Surrounding Buildings Information Bar' and 'Surrounding Objects Information Bar' were all opened. Rody's world was instantly covered by a large amount of text that no one else could see. In the past, most players would not activate these auxiliary information bars in a bustling area like the 'city'. This was because when they activated all of them, there would be so much information that the players would not be able to see.
But now that Roddy activated them, it was not to check the durability of the buildings or the amount of water a wooden barrel could hold. It was because of these powerful fellows in disguise that made him instinctively prepare for battle!
Where was the best place to shoot, where was the best place to escape, and where was the best place to take cover. Roddy scanned through the information of all the nearby buildings and found a suitable 'sniping point'. When he confirmed that he could reach there in two minutes, his heart slightly calmed down. When he turned his gaze to the church, he coincidentally saw a group of young monks and nuns chatting as they walked out of the hall.
Under the sunlight, Sally, who had an oval face, was gently combing her long hair and chatting with a nun beside her. Her eyes inadvertently swept over here …
Almost instantly, Roddy quietly moved his feet and stood in the blind spot of Sally's vision. Then he slightly turned his head and looked at the several red names in his field of vision.
The believer sitting in the corner raised his head and slowly stood up …
In the distance, the fat merchant glanced over here, and then with snacks in his hand, he distributed them to the surrounding children and walked towards the monastery …
On the other side, the singing bard bowed to express his gratitude, and then picked up the parcel with a grateful smile on his face. His eyes passed through the crowd and stared straight at the front of the church.
"I hope I'm not … in trouble."
As he muttered, Roddy really had a bad premonition in his heart. He then ignored Sally who was only ten meters behind him and rushed into the distance, disappearing behind the mansion opposite the church …
On the other side, Booker, who had just walked out of the church, was discussing the possibility of killing the Wolf Riders with a bow and arrow —
"The probability of shooting from the front is relatively high. If it's shooting while running horizontally, you also need to calculate the prediction, otherwise 99% of the time it will miss. And according to the bard, the scout is riding on a horse …"
Ryan was talking about the relationship between the landing point of the arrow and the running speed of the Wolf Riders. Halfway through, he found that they had already walked out of the church, so he stopped and looked back at Sally who sent them off, saying, "Then we'll go out first, Sally."
"Okay, I wish you all a good time. Remember to come back early, otherwise the bishop will scold you."
Sally smiled and stood in front of the gate of the monastery to say goodbye to them. Her platinum long hair glistened under the sunlight, her outstanding appearance and spotless white robe almost became the "scenery" in front of the monastery, attracting a lot of attention — there were even words like "Praise God, she must be an angel" and so on …
To be honest, such compliments and sighs made Sally blush a little. Kris took the opportunity to tease her a little. These nuns and nuns were ready to walk out of the monastery, while Sally looked at the two mercenaries and a contact that she had ordered to guard outside the street …
But when she looked up, her original smile suddenly froze.
Because she saw that the person who was going to contact her did not even bother to hide his identity. He was waving his hand at her from dozens of meters away with an anxious look, and pointed to … in front of her!
It was a pre-determined signal, which meant that the monastery was in danger, and that the person should not come out …
This kind of early warning system was originally arranged just in case, but Sally did not expect that she would really encounter it. When she came to her senses, she saw that the "believer" who was walking straight towards her was reaching for the package in her arms, and the coldness in his eyes was completely undisguised!
Francis is going to attack.
After such a thought popped up in her mind, she was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted. She immediately stepped back and loudly warned the people in front of her —
"Ryan! Booker! Get out of the way! "
Sally did not want these companions to be involved in such a dangerous matter, but it was obviously her wishful thinking. Booker and the others happened to be blocking the entrance of the monastery, blocking the path of the assassin.
Hearing Sally's warning, Ryan was gesturing with his hand to see if there was any difference in the destructive power of the arrowhead in his hand against the armor. Hearing the hurried shout in his ear, he stopped and turned around, his hand still raised. The young monk looked puzzled and asked, "What happened —"
"Whoosh!"
Before he could finish his sentence, what happened next made his eyes widen. Not only him, but Chris, Booker, and the others were also completely shocked by the scene that happened in an instant.
Ryan made an "OK" gesture with his hand. He wanted to tell Booker how big the hole the arrowhead would leave in the leather armor, but before he could blink, a long arrow went straight through the "circle" made by his fingers and nailed to the ground with a "thud"!
When his eyes turned to the long arrow, Ryan found that the arrowhead had sunk deep into the stone floor, less than five centimeters away from the toes of the guards!
"Attack!!!!"
