The forest was already shrouded in fog, and the sky was nowhere to be seen. The Lernaia Hydra's silhouette had long been hidden behind the fog, and no one knew if it was still standing in the valley. Brando suspected that at least part of it had vaporized, or else the forest would not be so shrouded in fog.
The figures behind the fog quickly approached, and Brando was slightly startled. They were not vaporized Knights, but real humans. The Knights wore golden-red cloaks with fire crows embroidered on their chests. The cleric in the middle wore a golden-red silk robe with a triangular bishop's crown on his head. The word 'Flame' was embroidered on his shoulder straps in a fiery red Cruz font. Only a cleric of the Holy Cathedral of Fire could wear such luxurious clothing.
Brando recognized him from the shriveled old face. It was Amman, the high-ranking cleric of Einke. He frowned. This guy is not easy to deal with, but on the surface, he appeared humble. Brando sheathed his sword and placed his hand on his chest. He bowed slightly. "Cleric."
But in his heart, he thought, 'That bastard. Why did the Holy Cathedral send such a notorious bastard? Aren't they afraid of offending the druids?'
Amman looked at the young man who appeared out of nowhere and was satisfied. His attitude was a thousand times better than the mercenaries he met before. "A noble is a noble." He looked at Brando and thought, "At least he's educated and reasonable. But he seems to be from Erouine?" Amman did not know that the players in the game had a way of dealing with high-ranking NPCs like him. Brando's reaction was basically second nature to him.
Even Scarlet gave her lord a strange look, wondering if he was a little too 'unruly'.
Amman and the others came out of the forest to check if there were any Knights like before. There were no Knights around, only trainee knights. This made Amman very cautious. The Knight Raymond had died in the battle with the Lernaia Hydra, and everyone was shocked. Since the November War, the Holy Cathedral had not had a high-ranking Knight return to the 'Sacred Flame' for many years.
But Amman felt the object on his chest and thought that the Knight Raymond's sacrifice was not in vain. He sighed softly. The cleric looked up with a kind expression. "Young man, you're not bad. Where are you from? Where is this place? How far are we from the Pass of Wolves? "
Amman to ask three questions in one breath. Even though he tried his best to control, Brando could tell that he was nervous.
What is a high-ranking cleric nervous about?
Brando was a little puzzled. Is it just because of the monster? But the people of the Holy Cathedral would not be so afraid just because of the death of a hundred or so people. They were all fanatics. Amman was not a good person, but at most, he had a flaw in his personality. Anyone who could become a high-ranking cleric was a person with a strong will.
He lowered his head and did not think too much about it to avoid arousing the other party's suspicions. "I am Baron Firburh. Esteemed Priestess, I'm afraid that you have never heard of Trentheim, a remote and desolate place, so my name is not worth mentioning. On the other hand, Esteemed Priestess, I don't know where this place is, but we are not far from Wolf's Pass."
Brando said a lot of nice words to get rid of this guy. He was worried that Veronica would catch up with them at any time, and the people of the Holy Cathedral of Fire would definitely not stand on his side. But Brando did not dare to show his eagerness. It was a small matter if he aroused suspicion, but it would be fun if he was labeled as disrespectful to the Holy Cathedral. Don't be fooled by this guy's amiable face, Brendel knew what kind of person he was.
Amman nodded. They were not far from the Pass of Wolves. This news lifted his spirits, and the fatigue on his wrinkled face disappeared. But he felt that it would be too unreasonable to leave just like that. Although the Holy Cathedral was high and mighty, it was not good to give people the impression that they were arrogant and domineering. So the cleric stopped and said to Brando, "Mr. Baron, we are in a hurry to leave this area. Would you like to come with us?"
Brando sneered. The Holy Cathedral had always been a lone wolf, and this guy had invited him with a face full of rejection. Fortunately, he did not mind. He shook his head and said, "You should know that I'm also here for the Lionheart Sword. Even if I'm not destined to have it, I don't want to have any regrets. So I have to continue."
Amman nodded. He resisted the urge to use his skinny fingers to check if the thing was still in place. He could not wait for Brando to reject him. But when Brando mentioned the Lionheart Sword, he raised his head and looked at Brando curiously. "If that's the case, then we won't hinder you. Mr. Baron, you have an extraordinary upbringing. When we return to the Holy Cathedral, I will write a letter to His Majesty to express my gratitude. "
Amman promised with an amiable face. For a moment, it seemed that his originally gloomy mood had been reversed.
Brando smiled slightly and did not comment. He seemed to be full of the elegance of a noble. But in his heart, he was cursing Brendel for saying so many high-sounding words. Get out of here! Are you still the arrogant and greedy Amman? Please don't destroy the original setting! Also, my time is limited. Can't you make it short?!
Brando scolded Amman for a long time. Finally, he was ready to leave. Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. Just as the Priest of Einke was about to leave, a person suddenly appeared from the bushes behind him. It was none other than Veronica.
When the Goddess of War from Cruz saw Brando, she did not say a word and directly slashed her sword at him. The sword brought along a slanted ray of light. Brando hurriedly dodged, and with a whoosh, the sword aura split a black pine tree behind him into two halves. The tree fell back with a cracking sound.
Her slash —
Amman and the Holy Cathedral Knight who were about to leave were stunned. The Priest raised his eyebrows and was about to fly into a rage. But when he saw who the woman in front of him was, he suddenly shuddered and swallowed his words. Although his status was high, he was still inferior to the four commanders of Cruz. In terms of reputation, they were about the same, but everyone knew that the real power of nobles was to have soldiers under their command.
Not to mention that Veronica was the Azure Sword Saint and the leader of the Firmament Army. She was also from one of the twelve oldest families in Kirrlutz. In terms of strength, Amman was no match for her. Perhaps some of the Priests in the wealthiest areas could be on par with this woman, but Amman was not one of them.
But since he was sure that the woman in front of him was not to be trifled with, he immediately turned around and looked at Brando coldly. The meaning in his dull grayish-brown eyes was obvious — what was going on? Brando could almost read the question from his eyes. He really changed his attitude faster than flipping a book.
After the slash, Veronica appeared beside Brando without a word and reached out to grab Brando's shoulder. Brando hurriedly stepped back and blocked in front of Scarlet, afraid that the woman would use the same trick again. But this time, Veronica was charging straight at him. After her first attack missed, she immediately pressed down on him again.
Brando could not dodge and could only block with Halran Gaia. A row of rock spikes stood up and blocked Veronica. But Veronica was already furious. She directly punched a hole in the rock spikes and reached out to grab Brando's shoulder.
Priest Amman could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he saw the two fighting, especially when Brando's Halran Gaia made his eyes move.
Brando knew that his strength was far inferior to the Cruz Goddess of War. At this moment, he no longer cared about his image and fell back and rolled to the side. The bumpy ground of the forest hurt his back, but he could only endure. He rolled back and immediately shouted, "Scarlet."
Scarlet understood and immediately got up and fled to the side. Brando's Charge cooldown was almost finished. He threw a Card of Fate on the ground. Of course, no one could see it. They only saw a flaming red magic circle suddenly appear on the ground, and then a huge Fire Djinn rushed out from it and pounced on Veronica.
This sudden attack surprised Veronica. She instinctively wanted to withdraw and retreat, but she felt that the Fire Djinn was only a Silver-tier. She thought that Brando was trying to stall for time. After a little hesitation, she rushed straight at the Fire Djinn. She turned the Azure Firmament in her hand and wanted to give the Fire Djinn a fatal blow.
She did not think that this was exactly what Brando wanted. Brando retreated and snapped his fingers at the Fire Djinn: Explode!
A ray of golden light burst out from the Fire Djinn's body. The majestic power contained in it made Veronica, who bore the brunt of it, pale. This was the terrifying power of a Silver-tier elemental creature releasing all of its magic and fire elements in an instant. The attack almost crossed the threshold of Elemental Power.
Then there was a loud bang, and the white light penetrated into everyone's eyes. Everyone could not help but close their eyes. Only Brando, who was already prepared, took this opportunity and frantically retreated in the direction of the forest in his memory. But at this time, he heard the familiar voice of Priest Amman:
"Wall of Holy Words!"
Brando immediately felt that there was an inexplicable power behind him. He did not need to look back to know what it was. This translucent wall of light was one of the few field control spells of the Priest. Brando immediately stopped. The length of the wall of light created by the Priest's Holy Words was more than 100 meters, but the height was less than 10 meters. He lifted his sword up, and a rock spike suddenly rose from the ground. Brando intended to use this rock spike to cross the wall of light. But the next moment, the sound of air breaking came from afar. A white sword aura swept through the center of the rock spike that had just grown out like lightning. With a crack, the rock spike suddenly broke from the middle.
Brando's plan naturally failed. He turned around and found that Veronica had recovered from the previous explosion.
