Blanche's expression kept changing, and the elves slowly lowered their longbows. It was obvious that the elves of this village were kind by nature. They had been hostile toward Han Jin because they thought he was a spy who had infiltrated the village. Now that they saw that Han Jin didn't intend to hurt them, their hostility gradually weakened.
Blanche was the first to come back to her senses. She gave the elf at the door a look, and the elf hurried out. A moment later, the little elf who had delivered the water carried the wooden bucket back into the hut. She looked around, then walked up to Han Jin and filled the cup with water.
Han Jin picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp. Comfortable! Forget about the situation or the battle, just these two cups of water made his trip worth it! Although he didn't absorb much energy from them, when he faced the test of the Immortal of Taiyi one day, the Taiyin Qi he absorbed today would be of great help to him!
"What … spell did you use just now?" Louise asked in a daze. She wasn't the only one curious. Panven and Blanche all pricked up their ears. That spell had the same effect as teleportation. A magician who could continuously teleport was close to being immortal. Other than time, nothing could defeat him!
"Mother Earth's Embrace." Han Jin made it up.
"Bah! What kind of nonsense is this? How come I've never heard of it?! "Louise didn't believe him at all.
"There are many things you haven't heard of." Han Jin smiled. Only then did he realize that the little elf hadn't left. He looked again and saw that the wooden bucket was still half full. Han Jin's heart began to itch again. Greed … was a sin. As a cultivator, Han Jin couldn't control his desire, but he was too embarrassed to ask for more. He looked at the little elf and then at the empty cup, hoping that she would understand his hint.
The little elf understood. Perhaps it was because she had never seen such an insatiable person before. She glared at Han Jin and then turned her gaze to Blanche.
Blanche nodded. The little elf pouted and picked up the wooden bucket grumpily to refill Han Jin's cup. This time, she had learned her lesson and ran out before Han Jin drank, afraid that Han Jin wouldn't stop drinking.
In the end, she was too young and underestimated Han Jin's sense of shame. He had never done anything for these elves and was being treated for no reason. Drinking three cups was already Han Jin's limit. Of course, if the little elf poured more for Han Jin, he would definitely continue drinking, but he wouldn't ask for more in any way.
"Honorable guest, may I ask where you're from?"
"Ask me, I know." Louise patted her small chest. "He's from the Northeast!"
Blanche rolled her eyes at Louise. "Why are you looking for Aude …?"
"Yes.
"What is it? Can you tell me about it? "
"Isn't your request … a little too much?" Han Jin smiled.
"Aiya, it's the same if you tell her," Louise said casually. "She's Aude's wife. Is there a need to keep it a secret?"
Han Jin was stunned. His intuition told him that Louise wasn't lying. If she really wanted to trick him, she could have found a suitable excuse.
"A Light Knight and an elf …" Han Jin smiled bitterly.
"What? Do you think I'm not good enough for Aude, or Aude isn't good enough for me? "Blanche said calmly.
"No, no …" Han Jin paused. "A Light Knight believes in the God of Light, and an elf believes in the Goddess of Nature. This seems a little …"
"I admit that our different beliefs have indeed brought us a lot of trouble. That's why I'm in the elven village and he's always in his army." Blanche sighed. "But … when feelings burn like fire, it's hard to control yourself. We used to think that we could overcome all obstacles. Perhaps you haven't experienced this feeling, so you don't understand."
Blanche's words sounded pretentious, but her expression was calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
Han Jin was silent for a moment, then smiled. "I understand."
"Okay, you should believe us now, right?" Louise couldn't help but ask. "Why are you looking for Aude?"
Han Jin looked around. "Everyone here seems to hate Nicolas."
"Of course. Do you hate him too?" Louise said with a smile. Comrade! She now considered Han Jin a comrade …
"I've never seen him before." Han Jin muttered to himself. Nicholas didn't know Han Jin's existence at all, so it was impossible for him to set up a trap for him. He decided to trust the people around him. "Actually, I don't know Aude either. I came here because I was entrusted by someone."
"Who?"
"Archbishop Jeddis."
"Archbishop Jeddis??" Blanche and the others couldn't help but stand up. Panven, who was watching from the side, was also stunned.
"You all know him?" Han Jin asked.
"Nonsense!" Louise said angrily. "Among those fools in the Vatican, he's the only one worthy of respect!" After that, Louise realized that she had said something wrong. She sneaked a glance at Blanche and added, "Oh … there's one more, our Knight Aude!"
"You're from the northeast? Why did Archbishop Jeddis go to the northeast? "Blanche was stunned.
"I'm from the northeast, but I met Archbishop Jeddis in the Tarasha Mountains."
"Why didn't he come?"
"Because he was attacked by someone and couldn't come."
"Attacked?" Blanche's eyes widened. "Who dares attack him?"
"Nicolas."
Blanche, Louise, and Panven were dumbfounded. Their faces turned pale, and Louise's body trembled slightly. After a while, she suddenly jumped to her feet. "Nikola has decided to make a move, hasn't he? Idiot! Jeddis is also an idiot! My sister told him so many times that if Nicolas really wanted to fight, the first person he would kill would be him! Why didn't he be more careful? Idiot! "
Blanche and Panven were still dumbfounded, unable to speak. The significance of this news to them was too great. A ferocious beast out of its cage was bound to set off a storm of blood and carnage!
Louise screamed even louder. "And you! Why didn't you tell us earlier?! "
"Do you think I should tell anyone I meet? Why should I believe you? "Han Jin asked.
Louise was speechless for a moment, but she was still unwilling to give up. Her eyes flashed left and right as if she was looking for something to vent her anger on.
"When did you meet Jeddis?" Blanche asked.
"About … almost ten days ago."
"Ten days? It's too late … "Blanche looked desperate.
"Let's go to the Vatican!" Panven shouted. His voice was originally very old, but now it was sharp and trembling like Louise's. "Only the Pope can stop Nicolas's madness!"
"It's useless." Han Jin shook his head. "Jeddis told me that the only hope is to find Aude, expose Nicolas's conspiracy, and bring the Knights of Light and the Cardinals out of St. Petersburg before Nicolas acts."
"Who told you that it's useless to find the Pope?" Panven shouted.
"Jeddis said so." Han Jin hesitated and felt that there was no need to keep it a secret. "The Divine Crown was lost more than a hundred years ago, and the Pope doesn't have the ability to open the Gates of Heaven."
"That's impossible … impossible!"
"You're saying that the Vatican doesn't have the ability to restrain Nicolas?" Louise's expression suddenly became gloomy. "From the beginning to the end, they've been emboldened to scare Nicolas. When they can't scare him anymore, they're done for?"
"Although your words are extreme …" Han Jin paused and nodded. "But that's the truth."
Louise glared at Han Jin fiercely. Han Jin didn't know if Han Jin had offended her or if she thought that he was a member of the Vatican.
Han Jin looked around. Jeddis once said that the most terrifying thing about Nicolas wasn't his scheming, but his unfathomable strength. Scheming wouldn't be able to destroy everything. If one person couldn't do it, they could gather everyone's intelligence. Moreover, Jeddis, who never lied, could force Nicolas to maintain the status quo and not dare to cross the line for several years. In terms of scheming, Jeddis wasn't much worse than Nicolas, but when it came to Nicolas' sword, he was at his wit's end. Jeddis admitted that even if he knew that Nicolas wanted to kill him, he wouldn't be able to win or escape. Only death awaited him.
Theoretically speaking, the only one who could stop Nicholas was the Pope. Using the Divine Crown to open the Gate of Heaven, the Pope could summon dozens or even hundreds of angels to help him in battle, depending on the level of the power of faith. This was a power that even Dragon City and Dragon Realm had to be cautious of. In comparison, the powerful professionals under Nicholas, including Nicholas himself, were too weak.
Han Jin wanted to pass on Jeddis's words to them and tell them not to underestimate Nicolas, but now he found that it was unnecessary. Who would dare to underestimate Nicolas? On the contrary, everyone here showed fear, which was enough to prove Nicolas's image and status in their hearts.
Jeddis also said that another terrifying thing about Nicolas was that he had a huge and complete state apparatus. Nicholas treated his followers well from the bottom of his heart. Similarly, the Advanced Professionals were loyal to him from the bottom of their hearts. The Generals were loyal to him from the bottom of their hearts. The people of the Kingdom of Magnificent Light also supported him from the bottom of their hearts. Nicholas was able to command the Kingdom of Magnificent Light with ease. His will was the direction of the Kingdom of Magnificent Light! There was no hesitation, no doubt, and no opposition. There was only madness and obedience.
It was a different kind of belief. Nicolas was the God of the Kingdom of Magnificent Light! Just like the Knight of Light who believed in the God of Light, the Kingdom of Magnificent Light also had believers of the Holy See. However, Jeddis believed that if those believers had to choose between the God of Light and Nicolas, most of them would choose the latter, because God's grace was too ethereal, while Nicolas's actions were real.
Blanche suddenly stood up. "Didn't Jeddis say … we still have a chance? Come with me! "
(First of all, thank you brothers Sleepy and Starmoon for helping me manage the book reviews. Actually, I should thank them in person, but when I go online, it's always after midnight. My friends list is almost all black and white, and I can't find them. During this period, I've been very upset. Pharyngitis has been tormenting me for almost half a year. It's always good, bad, bad, good, good, and painful! There's another reason. When I was young, I was poisoned by 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. I thought that women were made of water, and that they needed to be loved and protected. Even if I occasionally met a wanton one, I could respect her. I thought that girls would never want to fall into depravity, and that it was because they were hurt by men that they went downhill. In the past, when I broke up with my girlfriend, I would never say anything hurtful. It was fate that brought us together, and we parted on good terms. But now, I'm completely speechless. How should I put it … to completely familiarize herself with a strange man, this process is irresistible to her. It's her nature, it's her nature. What's even more infuriating is that I met many of her classmates and friends through her, and I became friends with them. But when I was with her, my friends gathered together and laughed. No one warned me about anything. After we broke up, they all confided in me about how she used to be and what she did. They even congratulated me and said that breaking up was the right thing to do. Why didn't anyone say anything at that time? Were they all laughing at me?! Maybe it's because I was too young when I read 'poisonous grass', or maybe it's because I yearned for the concept of 'family' too much. After so many years of ups and downs in society, I've always maintained an attitude of appreciation, trust, and modesty toward girls. Also, I think that when two people are together, they shouldn't let their imaginations run wild. Only by giving more than the other person does it prove that I like the other person more. Now, it seems that my head has been kicked by a donkey! Play, I know how to play too. Also, I found that playing these few days is very good for inspiration. It's much better than being cooped up at home all day. I only saved some words at the beginning of this book, but I used them all when I was sick. After that, I couldn't save anymore. But after playing for a few days, I actually saved more than 10,000 words. It's amazing. Maybe my previous attitude toward life was a fundamental mistake …)
