Chapter 406: Place of Refuge
Liszt noticed that ever since Sevia went out to meet the people of the so-called secret society, she had been frowning since she came back.
"Is there something bothering you? Let me guess - the other party can't help you?"
He couldn't help it anymore and took the initiative to ask the other party. Really, why don't you discuss it with me? We've been together for a while.
“No, the other party can help.” Sevia replied, “But the people in the camp are arguing about where to go.”
"Arguing about where to go?"
"The other party invited us to join their organization. Some people want to join the Arcana Society, but some people don't think so - the Arcana Society will indeed provide shelter to new members. The hidden power of this organization Very big, but joining the Secret Order means losing your freedom, you have to obey their arrangements, they have the final say on where you go, and you have to do things for this organization - probably the unclean kind against your own will. "
Liszt asked worriedly: "What about you?"
"Me?" Sevia raised her head and looked at Liszt, "I definitely won't. He joined the Secret Law Society and really couldn’t get along with this group of people.”
Liszt breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
"Would it be bad if we continued to stay near Nisburg?"
"We have to deal with the church's search at all times, and with such a large group of people, the supplies prepared in advance in the camp are almost exhausted."
“If you don’t join them, you can’t leave Nisborg?”
“That’s not true, the Mystical Society will also send you out of Nisborg, but then you can fend for yourself. Sigh... Where should we send those who are unwilling to join the Mystery Society? They will definitely not be able to stay in Cape Bay. Not everyone is as good at hiding as Ruskin and I."
Seeing that Sylvia was in a dilemma, Liszt had an idea and said: "If you really can't think of it, I can give you a suggestion. Do you want to hear it?"
Sevia glared at him: "Don't sell it."
"The northwest bay of Aldo Kingdom."
"Your hometown?"
"Yes. Lord Grainman is vigorously introducing talents from other places, and Corner Bay is an important source. My colleague wrote that recently people from Corner Bay have even formed a settlement in Port Fulan. If you are an immigrant, you can definitely do it. It’s easy to settle down in the northwest bay. Uh... Although you are mages, you must have other skills in your daily life.”
“It’s okay for spellcasters to make a living. What is astrology..."
Sylvia was thoughtful, obviously moved by Liszt's words. She knew the lord Paul Gleiman, whom Lister often spoke of.
Liszt's eyes lit up: "Alchemy? Haha, Mr. Grayman welcomes alchemists."
He added: "I have studied some church history recently. I discovered a pattern: In addition to the church's headquarters, the Holy See, for other dioceses, it seems that the richer the place, the greater the energy the church invests, and the corresponding church's control over the area is stronger - for example, Jiaowan is A very typical example. As for my hometown, Northwest Bay, I told you that before Lord Graiman took over, it was a very depressed place. Although there was also the influence of the church there, overall... how should I put it? , generally speaking, it is very weak, because there is little oil and water, and the church seems to have little interest there. In my memory, although there have been incitements to engage in witch hunts in history, there have been no high-intensity cases of persecution. It was a long time ago, almost a legend. In short, if you go to the Northwest Bay, the safety is quite high."
After hearing what Liszt said, Sylvia said bitterly: "I will. Knowing that they are all a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites, they just focus on the places with lots of oil and water."
Then she laughed, with a teasing expression on her face: "If your lord knows that you are like this. I don’t know what a good and loyal citizen would think, but any normal noble would rather not have a single wizard in his territory. It would be better for you to lead a bunch of wizards to the lord.”
"This..." Liszt blushed, "Ahem! Earl Grayman is a very kind lord. Even if he knew about this, he would never go unpunished. I believe it!" < br>
Although he said this, Liszt also felt a huge sense of guilt and fear in his heart. If Count Grayman really knew what he was doing, would he hang himself?
But the words have already been said... Alas, I was just trying to be clever. Liszt stared at the floor blankly. Just when he was feeling regretful, he felt a soft hand on his shoulder. He turned his head and saw Sylvia looking at him very solemnly.
"Thank you, the suggestion was made by you - only I will know about this, and no other people will know about it."
Well, I can't take it back now. It seems that Sylvia has officially considered going to the Northwest Bay as an option. Lord Earl, please don't blame me.
Uh... But by the way... Sylvia is really charming when she is serious.
......
"Sneeze!"
Paul, who was lying on the desk writing calculations, suddenly sneezed, startling La who was reading the letter at the side. Ogi looked over.
"I suddenly felt that some trouble was going to happen to me."
Paul said to her jokingly, and then asked: "Who wrote this letter to you? It was from the previous adventure group Are you a friend here? You seem to have been there for a long time."
La Di shook her head: "No, it's my senior sister in Jiaowan."
Xue. sister? Paul recalled, oh, it was the Grand Duchess. According to that guy Quick, she was a beauty.
"You seem worried? Is there any sad news in the letter?"
"..."
Ladi hesitated for a while, and then said angrily: "The letter said that the church in Jiaowan has gone too far. Countless people with the same identity as me are being persecuted by them. ”
She is now extremely grateful that she and her mother moved to the Northwest Bay early.
In fact, Ladi considered asking Paul for help and asking him to allow her to go to the Corner Bay to guide the persecuted people to take refuge in the Northwest Bay on a large scale.
But if the operation is not careful, Paul will definitely be put in danger. If the news leaks out, how will others view a lord who harbors wizards?
If she were free and had nothing to do with Paul, she would have done this long ago, but not now.
"I escaped from the whirlpool early and enjoyed life alone, but I sat back and watched my compatriots suffer there! Isn't it very selfish?"
Ladi was feeling very painful now.
Paul shook his head and walked to her side to comfort her: "Remember, you are not the savior. There are always so many misfortunes in the world that one person cannot control anyway, and you have nothing to do with them. What obligation.”
“Oh, by the way, if you have any relatives and friends in Jiaowan...with that status, you can take them over, no matter how long the hand of Jiaowan Church is. Come here.”
He wanted to help in any way he could.
