Chapter 118 Vulnerability
Ilea thought about it for a while and finally found out what the problem was.
Although she did not give Li Yu the right to preach in Luye, she did not prevent the people in the territory from voluntarily believing in Saturday, which led to a loophole.
Li Yu could never mention Saturday at all on weekdays, but by constantly showing miracles in her territory, she attracted people to the Shuangxiu Church's territory and completed all subsequent missionary work there, so that she would not It was a violation of the previous agreement between the two of them.
For example, Fitzwilliam now knows nothing about Saturdays. However, because Li Yu saved his dependent sister and did something that no other church or god could do, he is determined to convert to Saturday. Taught.
This problem was not particularly serious in the past. After all, most of the people in the green field had a blood feud with the lizard people, and they were also very wary of Saturday.
But now isn't there a new batch of people coming to her territory?
The Wettin family originally believed in Claudius, the god of the sea. However, after experiencing a series of events, it is obviously questionable how much piety they still have for Claudius.
If it were not for Li Yu and his Shuangxiu religion, most of the people from the Weiting family would have been gradually assimilated into this land like other immigrants, and eventually they would all convert to Bixiya.
But now, they have another choice.
Miss Rabbit had already smelled a hint of the approaching rainstorm in advance.
With the way the Silver Moon Church works, it won't be long before they send people to preach to these new people who have just entered the Western Territory. By then, they may have to come into direct contact with Li Yu's Shuangxiu Sect.
As for the battle between gods, no matter who wins or loses in the end, she, the lord caught in the middle, will definitely be unlucky anyway.
The girl felt her whole body numb.
She had just been criticized by Priest Tessa yesterday. Although the old priest stated that she was only admonishing Ilea from a personal perspective, this also represented the attitude of the Silver Moon Church to a certain extent.
Otherwise, how could Priest Tessa, who was dedicated to treating illnesses and saving people and serving the goddess, hear about Li Yu and those lizard people so quickly?
Miss Rabbit also gradually figured out the meaning later. This should be a subtle warning to her from the Silver Moon Church.
But before she had time to worry about this, she heard another bad news.
Li Yu helped the boatman up and asked the latter to go back and take care of his sister first. After his sister recovered, he would go to the place with black smoke to the west to find him. Then he turned to look at the girl again and said seriously.
"By the way, I also encountered one thing when I went back this time. According to the original plan, the dragon-seeking team should have left the swamp three days ago to rest and replenish food and supplies. I asked the lizard people to do it in advance. Prepare, but they haven’t come out until now.”
Li Yu has always attached great importance to the dragon that may exist in the swamp.
Not only because in the descriptions of the lizardmen, the dragon was both powerful and cunning, forcing all the lizardmen to leave their homeland at the risk of being annihilated by the aristocratic army in the West.
It is also because the dragon is also a novel and unknown creature to Li Yu.
No matter what happened before, he was able to firmly control the situation. In addition to a calm brain, he relied on knowledge that was far beyond this era.
This gives him a kind of prophetic ability.
However, facing a brand new species that has never existed on earth, Li Yu's ability will be greatly reduced.
How big has that dragon grown now? How high is its level of intelligence?
Do you have a language? If there is a language, can Li Yu use his own translation function to negotiate with it, or even go one step further and recruit it?
If negotiation is not possible, the only option is to find a way to drive it away or kill it. Is there any fatal weakness under those hard scales?
…………
Li Yu has too many questions and doubts, but before answering these questions and doubts, he first needs to find the dragon, and it is best to find out where its lair is.
The complex environment in the swamp is not suitable for drone reconnaissance operations, which is why Li Yu has been urging Ilea to form a dragon-hunting team.
Ms. Rabbit herself also attached great importance to this matter, and it only took five days to decide on the final candidate.
Including the Golden Snake Knight who was implicated by Purple Sparrow and eager to prove his loyalty. One of Alfred's nephews had followed Alfred in the battle to capture the city two months ago.
One of Pablo's retinue knights, six orc veterans who have served the Arias family for more than twenty years and have experienced hundreds of battles, and two of them are sharpshooters who can penetrate the enemy with a hundred steps.
There is even a member of the Arias family in the team. Although he is from a side branch, plus the two guides from the lizard people, there are a total of twelve people. They are all warriors with strong physiques and excellent martial arts. The lineup is incredible. Not luxurious.
With excellent equipment and the guidance of natives who are familiar with the swamp, everyone felt confident before setting off.
But after walking around in the swamp for nearly twenty days, I didn't even see the shadow of the dragon.
If it weren't for the discovery of some footprints, feces and traces of activity that were suspected to be left by the dragon, the Golden Snake Knight and others would have suspected that this was a lie made up by the lizard people to gain sympathy.
But just this little gain obviously doesn't allow them to go back and do business.
So after a short rest and supplies, the dragon-seeking team quickly started their second exploration. This time they planned to divide the search area into areas, and slowly search area by area.
The first area is not that big, and it was originally expected to be searched in eleven or two days. At that time, the dragon-seeking team will return to Shuangxiujiao's territory closest to the swamp and rest there for a few days.
But now it has been fifteen days since they entered the swamp for the second time.
Miss Rabbit hesitated for a moment, "Are they delayed due to some sudden situation?"
Li Yu nodded, "Indeed, there are many accidents in the swamp, and if they really find any major clues, they might change their plan and continue tracking. Anyway, there should be some food left, and there are two lizards. The guides are here and they know where to look for food, so just wait.”
And this time, another ten days have passed.
Jane's health is getting better every day at a speed visible to the naked eye. All the previous symptoms have disappeared. Not only can she get out of bed and walk, but her appetite has slowly returned to normal levels.
But there is still no news about the Dragon Hunting Team.
Sorry, this chapter is late. I had insomnia last night and didn’t sleep well.
