Chapter 102 The Female Knight of the Holy See
Hearing the name "Hleti", the Eagle Army chuckled, leaving the female knight a little confused.
"Are the Holy See's Bright Knights so rude?" Faced with the female knight's question, Nancy raised her chin: "This is not the attitude you should have towards your savior!"
“Saviour?” The beautiful knight was startled. Next, her eyes swept across the Eagle Army in the hall, and then fell on Raven's face. Thinking of the soldiers' attitudes, she came to a conclusion that she couldn't believe:
"... Are you their leader? You defeated the Sand King?"
"It's not defeat, it's beheading." Nancy raised a finger and corrected: "Heleti's head is still hanging at the door of the scorpion nest!"
The beautiful knight looked at Raven.
Although Raven's physique is considered strong among ordinary people, he does not stand out in the ranks of knights. Moreover, the skin of his palms is very smooth, and there are no traces of long-term training.
According to her standards, Raven is not a weak man, nor is he a well-trained knight. He alone cannot deal with the notorious Heleti!
Maybe he is another guy who uses family power to put money on his face.
However, now that it was confirmed that these people were not in the same group as Heleti, the female knight's attitude softened a bit:
"My name is Savannah, a Holy Knight of Light, affiliated with Cardinal Thomas, Archbishop of Nord Diocese. "
"Raven Ota Griffith, Imperial Baron, it's an honor to meet you." Raven said with his hand on his chest.
Savannah's mind was racing. She did not remember that there was such a noble family with outstanding military power in the Nord province: "How do you prove your identity?"
"I will give him the proof. "Nancy's voice was arrogant: "Nancy Fox, the daughter of the Earl of Montreal, I think you should have heard of my name."
Hearing this, Savannah became even more confused.
Nancy's name, Savannah, is indeed familiar to her, and she knows that it is a unruly, difficult and arrogant noble.
With his iconic red hair, a body as petite as a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old girl, a beautiful and delicate face, and a seemingly innate arrogance, he is definitely not a fake.
But at this moment, this "Fire Rose" actually appeared next to a baron whose reputation was unknown. He was very proud of him in his words, which was beyond Savannah's ability to understand.
Isn’t it rumored that Nancy never treats men with pretentious words?
Could it be that this man does have some strengths that I can't see?
"Lord Baron, I apologize for my previous words and deeds." Savannah apologized in a low voice and glanced at Margaret: "But I still recommend that you try to stay away from such heresy."
As a light knight of the Holy See, Savannah is extremely sensitive to dark energy, and Margaret is simply a walking devil in her eyes.
“Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, can you untie my shackles now?”
“Not yet.” Raven shook his head: “Because I am not sure about you yet. ”
This almost reciprocated sentence made Savanna feel a little offended, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes.
Lei Wen was keenly aware of this and explained clearly:
“Don’t worry, it won’t be long. I will hand you over to you after I return to my territory. The local priest can determine the authenticity of your identity."
"I hope you can understand. After all, the Bloody Highlands are very dangerous, so I have to be more cautious."
Savanna's face turned slightly red. She fell into the hands of a horse thief because of her carelessness. The trap became the prisoner of Heleti.
But she had her own mission, and could only sigh helplessly: "There is an autographed letter from Bishop Thomas on the lining of my breastplate, which can prove my identity."
"Margaret. "Raven gestured to the witch with his eyes.
"Don't let this filthy creature touch me!" Savannah's voice rose, and then she cast her pleading eyes at Raven's side: "...Miss Nancy, can you please do it? ?”
Nancy nodded proudly, and it was so happy to see the proud female knight bowing to her!
Nancy, who is proud, cannot bear to see others being more arrogant than her.
She walked behind Savannah, took off her armor, took out a letter, and handed it to Raven's hand.
Taking the envelope, Raven looked at the flames carefully.
On the fire paint is the private seal of Priest Thomas, and next to it is the ∞-shaped coat of arms belonging to the Church of Light. Judging from the degree of wear and tear, it does not look like a forgery.
The content of the letter must be confidential. Lei Wen had no intention of involving himself in it, so he did not open it and check it. Instead, he brought the envelope to his nose and sniffed it.
This scene immediately aroused the glares of Savannah and Nancy.
Knowing that they had misunderstood, Raven explained with a smile: "It smells of butter, but not of blood. It is indeed produced by the Holy See and cannot be stolen."
Raven put his hand on his belt and wiped a group of The key was thrown to Margaret: "Unlock it."
The key was looted from Heleti's body.
With a click, the shackles fell to the ground, and the fighting spirit in Savannah became active again. A layer of milky white fighting spirit lit up on her body, illuminating the dim room with a smile on her face. The joy of regaining strength.
She stepped forward and took back her letterhead.
Raven handed over a water bag: "Ms. Savannah, as a Knight of Light, why would you come to a place like Bloody Highlands?"
"Secret." Savannah took the water bag and gently He took a sip, but his face was cold and his tone was rather stiff: "It has nothing to do with Bishop Thomas's entrustment, and it has nothing to do with you."
"I will act with you from now on until we leave. During this period, I hope you can keep track of me while driving to Bloody Heights.”
“Humph, what a big show of confidence.” Nancy’s voice was filled with dissatisfaction. She didn’t show any expression at all, she had a cold face, she was vulgar and rude!”
Savanna’s face turned red and then turned pale. As a knight of the Holy See, she really lacks experience in quarreling with others.
"It doesn't matter, it is an honor in itself to be able to walk with the Holy See's Bright Knight." Raven's words gave Savanna a step forward: "Ms. Savanna, if you are not used to activities with us, you can continue to work in the original place. Rest in the room, and we will move together when we leave."
"Thank you for your kindness." Savanna nodded quietly, stood up and left, taking a small bag of dried meat and bread with her.
Savanna gradually walked away, and Nancy looked at Raven: "What are you planning?"
Leaven was stunned for a moment: "No."
"Well..." Nancy's eyes rolled, and she finally snorted, hugging her quilt and retreating into the corner: "If you don't want to tell me, don't tell me, I will find out sooner or later anyway!"
Raven felt a wry smile in her heart.
He really didn’t have any plans for Savannah. The reason why he behaved warmly and appropriately towards her was purely because she was the Holy See’s Knight of Light and was directly responsible to Archbishop Thomas.
Not to mention the good impression she left on Bishop Thomas, letting Bishop Thomas know that there is a nobleman like him in the Nord province is already a profit.
Nancy's breathing gradually began to become steady, and a reassuring smile appeared on her apple-like face.
"Margaret, you come to keep vigil tonight. If I don't get up tomorrow morning, tell Eric and Volaf to take someone to count the loot."
After saying that, Raven also leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. Today he had almost exhausted his magic and mental strength. Even with the magic core to replenish it, the emptiness and fatigue did not ease. Now that he finally finished handling the matter, he felt relieved and fell asleep almost immediately.
In a daze, Raven saw a square, a circular square that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.
The ground is paved with unknown silver-white bricks, mirror-like, with almost no gaps visible. In the center is a huge fountain. What gushes out from it is not spring water, but is so rich that it condenses into substance. The magic!
Women.
There was a woman standing next to the fountain. She was tall, wearing a soft silver silk skirt, and her body was shrouded in a pure and sacred light. She had her hands folded on her chest and chanted a prayer that Raven was not familiar with.
This prayer inexplicably made Raven feel at ease, which made him unconsciously attracted and slowly approached it.
The closer he got, the clearer the voice became. Raven slowly stretched out his hand, trying to brush away the fog that shrouded the woman.
At this moment, the woman slowly raised her head: "Baron Raven..."
When she raised her head, she was facing Margaret's face!
"Ah——!"
Raven opened his eyes suddenly, and then saw Margaret's big face in front of him, still calling:
"Lord Baron ! ?”
My heartbeat almost stopped!
Subconsciously, Raven kicked Margaret up and rolled her to the ground several times.
Raven's heart began to beat again. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Margaret who stood up slowly. He was even more angry: "Call me if you call me. What are you doing so close? You want to scare me to death?”
“I can’t even wake you up...” Margaret said aggrievedly, “Besides, I have something important to tell you.”
Raven glanced around: "Why are you calling me, where are Eric and the others?"
"It's hard to tell for a while." Margaret whispered. Said: "They are all outside the Sand King's treasure house now, waiting for you to go over and make a decision."
Raven stood up: "Then let's talk while walking."
Soon, Raven understood the cause and effect of the matter.
After a night's rest, Eric and Volaf followed Raven's previous instructions and began to count the loot. Naturally, no one else was allowed to watch this process.
Savanna strongly demanded to get her sword back. Eric and Volaf couldn't make a decision, so they sent someone to ask for help. Nancy responded without hesitation.
Of course the arrogant and unruly Nancy would not give in in front of Savannah, while Savannah upheld the usual pride of the Holy See’s Bright Knight. The two sides stood together like this. In desperation, they could only let Ma Gretel comes to Raven to solve a problem.
When Raven came outside the Heleti Treasure House, the two women were still arguing.
"...I said, I just want to get my sword back!" Savanna's face turned pale.
Nancy crossed her arms to her chest. Although the top of her head could barely reach Savannah’s shoulders, she was even more powerful: “Huh, that’s it, who knows what you are planning?”< br>
Savanna's chest heaved with anger: "I am the Holy See's Knight of Light, and I can't lie!"
"That's not necessarily the case." As a child of a great nobleman, Nan Qian is very familiar with the history of the Church of Light: "At the beginning, Gregory I also said that he just wanted to retrieve the artifact left in the Storm Dynasty. As a result, the capital of the Storm Dynasty became the Papal State!"
Leaven My heart skipped a beat when I heard it. What Nancy was talking about was a famous public case in the history of the mainland, and it was also a stain that the Light Church could not erase. Saying these words was almost equivalent to breaking up with the Holy See!
"Ahem!" Raven coughed heavily and quickly walked into the treasure house.
“Raven!”
“Lord Baron!”
Raven nodded, accepted everyone’s salutes and greetings, and returned the salutes one after another without waiting for anyone. Speak yourself first: "I already understand the cause of the dispute."
He bowed slightly to Savannah: "I'm sorry, Ms. Savannah, my soldiers are fulfilling their duties loyally and have no intention of offending the majesty of the Holy See of Light."
After speaking, he turned to Eric and shouted loudly: "What on earth did you do? It's simply unseemly to block such a distinguished guest from the door!"
"Hurry up and open the door and let Sa Ms. Wanna gets her sword back?”
Raven’s doing this has given Savanna enough face to let the latter He couldn't get angry even if he wanted to, so he could only say dullly: "Thank you, Lord Baron, for your understanding."
Although he was scolded, Eric also knew that Lord Baron was protecting him, so he quickly lowered his head. Admit your mistake: "Lord Baron, I didn't think well!"
As he said that, he quickly turned around and opened the door.
When the heavy steel door opened with a bang, Raven's breathing stopped slightly. He finally knew why Eric and Volaf refused to let Savannah in no matter what.
Heleti’s inventory is too rich!
The sets of enchanted armors hanging on the shelves and the enchanted weapons displayed side by side seem to be alive, breathing a light blue magical halo.
On the walls on both sides are large and small boxes. I don’t know what is inside, but the boxes themselves are valuable, and the wood, metal, and ores used are all rare.
The most eye-catching thing is the gold coins, which are piled behind the treasure house. There are big boxes of gold coins, just like a hill!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Raven bowed and held out his hand: "Ms. Savannah, please."
Sawanna walked into the treasure house expressionlessly, took down a scabbard from the shelf nearby and put it on The knight's sword dotted with pearls was slightly opened, and a milky white halo flowed out.
After confirming that it was correct, she turned around and left without staying any longer.
As she passed by Raven, she stopped: "...Thank you, Baron Raven."
"Humph, the guys from the Holy See are really annoying." Nancy deflated. He pursed his lips and turned around to leave.
She has no interest in Sand King's inventory. She came here mostly to compete with Savannah. Now that her rival is gone, of course she won't stay.
After solving the problem, Raven also chose to leave after ordering Eric and the others to continue counting the loot.
Although I really want to dive into this pile of gold coins and take a bath, as a baron, I still have to be reserved.
It wasn’t until night that Eric sorted out the number of gold coins. When he reported it in front of Raven, his voice was trembling:
“Lord Baron, Heleti’s treasure house Among them, there are 68,723 gold coins! ”
When he heard the exact number, Raven was still shocked.
The treasury of many viscount families is probably of this size, let alone the extremely poor Griffith family.
Raven even suspected that Donald had never seen so much money in his life.
Nancy was holding a baked potato aside and was blowing and eating it. When she heard Eric’s report, she kicked Raven with her little feet and praised:
" Very good, comparable to the annual tithe of Hovey City!”
But that's not all the good news.
