Chapter 789 The Point of No Return
"That's it. As I just said, Lord Lucius"
Goshawk, who had a resolute face but was covered with bruises, took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. : "In accordance with your order, I approached the east side of the main peak of Sumir, and discovered something strange on the cliff on the mountainside. There was an aura there that is difficult for me to describe in words. , yes, even though I am a knight, I still feel a... uh... a very vital force permeating there. "
"Drink the medicine "
Lucius sat back on the chair with a serious face, threw a bottle of light green liquid to Goshawk, and said in a deep voice: "Keep talking."
"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Lucius."
Goshawk took a big sip of [a powerful therapeutic potion of unknown ingredients] with a pale face, and his body, which was originally extremely weak due to the plane crash, suddenly warmed up. , the various values in the panel also began to rise rapidly.
Lucius nodded noncommittally, indicating for him to continue.
“I was a little nervous at the time, and I didn’t pay much attention to hiding my figure. Instead, I chose to close the distance immediately.
Goshawk lowered his head in shame and whispered. Said: "Then I saw a field of light coming and going. Some places were very dazzling, and some places were fine."
Lucius tapped the table twice and interrupted rudely: "So what did you see under that light?"
"Uh"
Goshawk hesitated at first. Half a second, and then his expression He said strangely: "I should have told you just now, my lord."
Lucius narrowed his light gray eyes slightly and said coldly: "Yes, I know very well, but I need you to repeat it now Once again, Mr. Goshawk."
The latter suddenly stiffened and repeated what he had just said without thinking: "Yes, there are war horses under that light, many war horses, and they are motionless. Standing there, it looks a bit scary with a murderous look, and there are as many knights on it. At least I think those people are knights. They are wearing golden armor and sitting on horses like statues. "
"Yeah."
Lucius's expression seemed to soften a little, and then he nodded slightly and continued to ask: "Then, what else did you see?"
Goshawk He frowned and muttered: "There are many people. I saw a lot of orc shamans, and some people wearing golden or white robes, holding sacred scriptures, hammers and a lot of messy things in their arms."
< br>"Golden or White Robe Sacred Scripture Mace"
Lucius pinched his eyebrows, a trace of fear flashed across his lowered eyes, and asked slowly: "Do you know about the Holy Religion Union? What does the emblem look like? ”
"I'm not sure, sir. Although I spend most of my time in the Northeast Continent, I have never been a believer in the United Holy Religion. In fact, I feel that I can't get along with those people, or some individuals within them."< br>
Goshawk shook his head sincerely, and after a long silence, he said in a deep voice: "But I did see some emblems, although I don’t know if it’s from the Holy Church.”
“Draw it out.”
Lucius took out a piece of blank parchment and handed it to Goshawk. He said: "It's enough to be similar. I still have some research on those bastards from the Holy Religion Alliance."
"Yes!"
Goshawk nodded and began to draw.
A moment later
“This should be the emblem of the Dawn Sect.”
I held the extremely abstract painting and studied it for a long time, almost blinding myself The stunned Lucius rubbed his eyes, casually picked up the quill and wrote on the strange painting of the goshawk. With a few strokes beside the strange painting, he quickly completed a lifelike emblem of the Dawn Sect. He raised his head and asked, "Is that so?"
Goshawk nodded vigorously and looked at it with special admiration. Looking at Lucius: "Yes, sir, not bad at all!"
"Oh, mine is not bad, but yours is much worse."
Lucius laughed dryly, and then quickly took out the parchment of the second chapter, and drew on it one by one with a flying pen. He took out the emblems of the Justice Sect, the Sun Sect, and the Plenty Sect, the three most representative sects in the Holy Alliance like the Dawn Sect, and asked in a deep voice: "What about these, have you seen them during the investigation?"
Goshawk shook his head honestly and said in a low voice: "Well, I was really far away at that time, even if I was wearing the Eagle Eye Scroll that I had been issued previously."
"I know you were far away from them at the time."
Lucius interrupted him coldly and said sternly: "But you still have to answer this question, Goshawk, even just a little bit Good impression, tell me if you have ever seen these damn signs!”
Goshawk was silent for a long time, and then hesitantly raised his finger and pointed at the emblem of the Sun Sect: "I think I have seen this, sir. As for the other two, I am really not sure."
"Dawn Sect , Sun Sect."
The last trace of blood faded from Lucius's originally rather pale handsome face. He stared at the dazzling emblems on the parchment with splitting eyes, gritted his teeth and said: " Damn it, why are they in that place? How could they be in that place!"
Goshawk, who felt an obvious chill, subconsciously shrank his neck and asked with a tense expression: "Sir, Are those people really the Holy Alliance?"
"It's very possible, but it's not certain yet."
Lucius, who tried his best to calm down, rubbed his forehead and said in a low tone that sounded more to himself than to Goshawk: "Maybe it's just some cover-up. If you continue, see those paladins and priests. After that, how on earth were you discovered?"
Goshawk swallowed unnoticeably and said in deep thought: "Everything happened too fast. I originally wanted to see it more clearly. , but the light around those people flashed into my eyes. As a result, when I came back to my senses, Dudu had been hit by several golden light arrows, and then... I fell with Dudu, if not The snow below is thick enough, and I may not even be able to come back to see you alive."
"Killed you down with just one blow?"
Lucius stood up suddenly. Come, while pacing back and forth behind the long table, you murmured: "You must have been at least a few hundred meters away from those people at that time. The person who can accurately locate you and attack you with divine magic at the first time is absolutely powerful. No less than an epic level, Goshawk, could the person who attacked you be some great shaman in Tianzhu Mountain?”
The latter shook his head honestly and answered without thinking. Said: "No, although I didn't see clearly who sent the attack, I can swear that it was definitely a divine spell, not the elemental spell of those shamans!"
Lucius' eyes narrowed: "Why are you so sure?"
"I once participated in a war and saw with my own eyes several priests of the Dawn Sect using the same magic."
Goshawk immediately gave an answer that could not be faulted at all, and then his expression suddenly suffocated, and he lowered his head in embarrassment: "Sir, although I did associate with the Holy Cult back then, We have fought side by side with the same people, but that was just..."
Lucius waved his hand a little irritably, and said lightly: "I know, that was all before you believed in our Lord. As for being concerned about this matter."
"Yes." Goshawk raised his head again and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your tolerance."
Lucius nodded noncommittally, then suddenly stopped and cast two sharp eyes on the goshawk: "Is what you just said true?"
Cang Ying was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded vigorously and said loudly: "There is absolutely no lie."
Then
He obtained a full 1,500 points [Regional World Mission: Holy Mountain Clearance War] ? 】Contribution.
Personal Contribution: Third Place - 2031
Goshawk looked straight at his task panel and swallowed tremblingly, feeling as if he was dreaming.
Lucius thought that the young man in front of him was scared by him, so he quickly squeezed out a slightly stiff smile, nodded to the goshawk with a gentle expression: "Don't worry, I have no doubts. What you mean is that the implications of this matter are too important and you have to be careful. Okay, you can go down and rest first."
"My lord, I."
< br>Goshawk opened his mouth, but as soon as he said three words, he was lightly interrupted by Lucius.
"Go and have a rest. I will send a few more people to investigate the situation over there, if it is true."
Lucius straightened the chair that was almost overturned by him and said a little tiredly: "You, a scout with the best air mobility, should work harder and fly to the Whispering City to report the situation to Archbishop Eden. Right."
"Yes!"
Goshawk looked relieved, bowed to Lucius, and muttered quietly. A message went out——
'Brother Hei Fan, with the latest information, the commander of the cultists should send another group of people to investigate the main peak! ’
‘Copy that, thank you for your hard work, keep in touch anytime. ’
Mo Tan, who was on the opposite side of the message board, replied to a message in seconds, and the response was as fast as an automatic reply.
“Go.”
Seeing that Goshawk’s mood had calmed down, Lucius raised his chin to indicate that the latter could leave.
Two minutes later
"Are the guys that Goshawk saw really members of the United Holy Church?"
Tom Lestrange appeared quietly behind Lucius and threw himself out with a single sword. problem.
The latter did not answer. He just leaned back in his chair and pondered as if he was asleep. After a while, he asked slowly: "What do you think?"
"I didn't. What do you think?"
Tom shook his head, and then yawned boredly: "I don't know anything about strategies and plans. You have to know, dear Lord Lucius, just be a human being. When the power of power reaches a certain level, all those fancy and complicated things will become worthless, and I will never put any effort into something worthless."
Lucius turned to look at his son coldly and said sternly: "You are too arrogant, son. If you continue like this, you will pay the price for your arrogance sooner or later."
But Tom was As if he didn't hear Lucius's resentful words. Chenggang raised his eyebrows as if speaking, but asked without interest: "So do you want to answer my question?"
"I also said just now, you can use magic in hundreds of Hitting a goshawk from a distance of 100 meters requires at least an epic level. "
Lucius sighed, lowered his eyes and said: "Coupled with the truth serum prepared by you, I am 70% sure that there is indeed a Holy Religion Alliance on the main peak of Sumir. Man."
Tom snorted. : "So what? You must know that there is absolutely no way that the expeditionary force can mobilize its manpower under the eyes of the Whispering City. Even if they really send some rotten fish and shrimps to the main peak of Sumir to help, they may not be able to hold the top of the mountain. .”
"The important thing is not whether they can hold it, kid."
Lucius smiled bitterly, and pressed his forehead with bulging veins in frustration: "The important thing is that the expeditionary force of the Holy Religion Alliance Attitude, if they really send some elites to Sumir, even if there are only a few hundred people, our situation will become very delicate."
Tom, who really knows nothing about strategy, glanced at Lucius. He glanced at it and asked curiously: "For example?" ."
Lucius's eyes almost narrowed into two thin lines when he looked at the sand table in front of him, and he said solemnly: "There are many worse possibilities. In short, we have to deal with this no matter what. Tell the news to Whispering City and let Archbishop Eden make the decision.”
"Are you shirking responsibility?"
Tom laughed dumbly.
"That's right, just shirking responsibility."
Lucius nodded slightly and admitted bluntly: "Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages has never been a shameful quality. In fact, Lucius The Strange family is what it is today because we know how to put ourselves in the safest place."
"Oh, that's just because 'you' are not strong enough."
Tom smiled contemptuously, turned around and walked into the darkness that suddenly appeared, and disappeared from Lucius's perception in an instant, leaving only a cold sentence
"Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages" It's just a whitewash by the weak."
"Alas"
Lucius Lestrange sighed and murmured: "Maybe you are right. Yes, but the problem is that the words "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages" have never been a compliment, so how can they be used as a whitewash? ”
At the same time
The main peak of the holy mountain Sumir, behind the intimidation position
“In most cases, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is a valuable quality.”
Mo Tan sat on a makeshift In front of the stone table, he drank up the coffee in his hand and smiled: "But if the information Goshawk gave me is not too flawed, then now, Lucius Lestrange, who has such valuable qualities, The gentleman is about to embark on a road of no return."
Yizuan, who was sitting next to him (using the Seal of Dawn) as a small human body heater, blinked in confusion and asked in a low voice: "But senior, Didn’t Mr. Goshawk just come into contact with the cultist commander? Why does he know so much about the latter?”
“No, Goshawk probably doesn’t know him.”
Mo Tan shook his head, stretched his body lazily, and then casually threw a black chess piece in his hand on the table.
“But the content he simply described to me was enough to make me understand. Mr. Lucius felt the same way.”
