Thirteen years later, in the autumn of the 34th year of the San Calendar, a large ship slowly approached the city of Danello in the Engido Kingdom. It was a seaport. In recent years, sea trade had gradually become more and more prosperous. Although there were still not many ways to deal with the sea monsters and the Children of the Sea, humans had learned how to avoid them and open up safe routes.
This orc city, which had flourished because of trade, was a perfect blend of the exquisite and elegant human style and the rough and wild orc style. Its magnificent outline could be seen from afar on the sea. There were many merchant ships moored in the port, some from various human kingdoms, while others belonged to the orcs. A large number of porters and haulers were busy working on the port. It was a very lively scene.
There were endless buildings in the city, and on top of the stone walls, there were people coming and going. One could see the tall spire of the clock tower and the magnificent church. The ship was anchored at the port, and two figures, one tall and one short, appeared on the dock.
The two of them were wearing the same sky-blue sweaters, black trousers, and boots. However, the one who was shorter than the other was wearing a sweater that was longer than the other, reaching his knees. The two of them had the same short hair and were equally handsome.
The tall one was a bearded man with black hair and black eyes, while the short one was a blonde lion-man. Each of them was carrying a package and a long sword on their back. They walked off the ship with a box and entered Danello City.
Along the way, Lu Zhiyu could see that in this commercial port city, there were many different races coming and going. Not only were there orcs from various races, but there were also a large number of human merchants. In a church in the city, Lu Zhiyu saw a dog orc wearing a black priest's robe.
This was the Church of Light of the orc kingdom, but it was slightly different from the human one. They called themselves the Church of the Sun, and they believed in the sun goddess, Maria. Not only had the name changed, but even the scriptures and doctrines they believed in were very different.
The Church of the Sun could be said to be the native Church of Light of the orc kingdom. For decades, the Church of Light had been trying to spread their beliefs and doctrines to the orc kingdom. Although they had achieved some success, they had not been able to do so.
However, in the war thirteen years ago, the Kingdom of Menkaure had been destroyed. The battle between the Church of Light and the Judgement Priests had destroyed the power of the Kingdom of Menkaure. Not only had a large number of orcs become hostile to the Church of Light and humans, but it had also thoroughly developed the Church of Light in the orc kingdom. Fear and power had brought unexpected results.
The beliefs within the orc kingdom had also undergone several changes. Reforms, battles, mergers, and finally, the current Church of the Sun was formed. Although their foundation was weaker than the Church of Light, they had developed extremely quickly. After more than ten years of development, the faith of the Church of the Sun had begun to appear in most of the orc kingdoms. Many tribes had also begun to convert to the Church of the Sun.
Lu Zhiyu shouted as he walked into the church of the Church of the Sun. The orc priest of the Church of the Sun immediately turned around and saw Lu Zhiyu. "Hey, what do I see? Baron Randil Eranbell, and our handsome Will! Both of you have grown so much. Look at them, they look just like you, but they are a little short. They don't look like a lion-man, nor do they look like you."
When Verthandi heard the old orc's words, she immediately rolled her eyes in anger. Her height had always been a sore point for her, and Lu Zhiyu had often teased her about it. Now that the old orc had mentioned it again, she was like a cat whose tail had been grabbed. She immediately snorted at the old orc.
Lu Zhiyu happily hugged the old orc. "My old friend, Cory, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"I haven't seen you in ten years, but you are still as energetic as ever."
"I am old, but look at you. You haven't changed at all since ten years ago."
After the two exchanged greetings, Lu Zhiyu was invited into the reception room at the back by Cory. The two chatted as they walked. "I heard that you are going to be a bishop soon?"
Cory looked very happy. When he heard Lu Zhiyu's words, he immediately grinned. "All the bishops have been transferred away. I am now an acting bishop. As long as I wait for the appointment, I will be able to wear a white robe."
Lu Zhiyu was also happy for Cory. He was a devout believer and had joined the Church of the Sun since ten years ago, when it was still just a fledgling church. He had been moving around everywhere, but had always been suppressed. Later, he had been transferred to the city of Danello, which was different from other places. The bishop of the city of Danello had great power. Within the Church of the Sun, he was considered to have made a name for himself.
"Congratulations, you can finally take charge of the Cathedral of Danello. This is the dream of many priests of the Faith of the Sun."
Chris accepted Lu Zhiyu's congratulations without hesitation. "If there is a chance, I would like to go to the legendary St. Sarl City and meet the legendary Saintess of God, as well as the legendary artifact, the Mask of Faross. It is a true miracle left behind by the gods. The Faith of the Sun is still too weak, and has not received the attention of the gods. I hope that one day, we can also receive the divine artifacts and divine power from the gods."
"Haha, I am too ambitious. If I can enter the temple of the gods after I die, I will be satisfied. I am too greedy."
Lu Zhiyu knew that the Faith of the Sun had been searching for the relics of the gods through their apostles. They had also tried to communicate with the gods, but they had not received any response. In addition, they had been searching for the Sword of the King, which had been lost more than ten years ago, but had not found any clues.
After Cory and Lu Zhiyu sat down and chatted happily, Lu Zhiyu finally got to the point. "I heard that an evil dragon has appeared in the Engido Kingdom. Is that true?" he asked.
Cory's expression suddenly changed. "Don't mention it. I heard that once the evil dragon hears someone summon it, it is likely to appear."
Cory closed the window in a superstitious manner, then said carefully, "Yes, it is a white evil dragon. It appeared a year ago, and after it appeared, it robbed villages and caravans many times. Later, it became even crazier, and began to rob cities. A month ago, it even kidnapped Her Royal Highness of our kingdom. It fled back to the Amos Icefield and demanded a ransom from the king. Currently, the king is offering a reward for killing the evil dragon and rescuing Her Royal Highness."
“。。。。。”
Of course, Lu Zhiyu could find the location of this dragon. However, this time, he had come to arrange a trial for little troublemaker. He wanted to improve her strength and give her a chance to grow smoothly, so he had put on a full act. However, Lu Zhiyu had not expected this dragon to be so arrogant here. Its personality and actions were exactly the same as those of the evil dragons in the legends. Was it really because of the personality of the original design? When Lu Zhiyu had designed them, he had designed them to love treasures. Apart from that, there was a small difference. He remembered that the white dragon's personality seemed to be … lewd?
But why would it want to capture an orc princess? The size of this species was also wrong. What was this white dragon trying to do? Lu Zhiyu thought about it a few times, then immediately asked, "What's the most convenient way to get to the Amos Icefield from here?"
Cory looked at Lu Zhiyu. "You're not thinking of killing the evil dragon and rescuing the princess, are you? Damn, you're an old tree blooming, but I don't recommend you to do this kind of suicidal behavior. "
Lu Zhiyu was infuriated by the old orc's words. "What old tree blooming? Can't I understand?"
Cory laughed loudly. "If you want to go to the Amos Icefield, the most convenient way is to follow a caravan, or choose to hire one. However, I know a caravan that travels this way, and its owner is very familiar to you."
"Who is it?"
"Elias."
