Xu Lai did not attend Count Aini's dinner, but this time he politely said goodbye and left.
Except for Xu Lai, Pierce and others did not participate.
Many knights of the Knights became cold corpses, some can still be resurrected, and some have been completely separated.
At this time, Xu Lai and Pierce, as the supreme commanders of the Temple Knights, are unwilling to participate in such a celebration banquet. No one will think it rude.
On the contrary, among the fellow villagers from Xu Lai, some couldn’t help but hide in the corner and taunted in a low voice:
"This Xu Lai has just been in such a big limelight. He turns around and doesn't give people face. Let's see how many days he can have a good life."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately continued: "This It's only been two months. Does the person named Xu really think of himself as a native? Even after several dead natives, he still has to mourn!"
"You should have some moral integrity.
If you were not convinced, why didn't you dare to rush out when the city gate was not closed? "
"Wang Chao, is there something wrong with you? I went to work as a bodyguard for a mayor’s son, and I came to speak for others.”
Wang Chao, who couldn't stand it, just said a word for Xu, and was immediately besieged by several other heroes.
Reluctantly, Wang Chao shook his head and chose to leave. The resentment of this group of people was really too heavy.
In fact, Wang Chao's own grievances are not small. Like these people, he clearly saw the hero who was also a human being being ruthlessly killed by a native.
Although this was a fuso dog who did not deserve sympathy and the things he did were despicable and despicable, it still made Wang Chao feel very unhappy.
It doesn't matter whether a Fuso dog dies or not. The key is that others can kill Chihiro Nakamoto today without hesitation, and they can also find any reason to kill them tomorrow.
This is a sense of humiliation in which one's destiny is beyond one's control, and is unacceptable to those who have experienced modern civilization.
Xu Lai didn't know what the heroes were talking about behind their backs. Even if he knew, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to it as long as it wasn't in front of him.
He can't seal other people's mouths. Even if he can seal their mouths, they can stop talking about it in their hearts. It's better to keep out of sight.
If they really have the guts to talk about him in front of Xu Lai, then of course Xu Lai also has the guts to not care about the favorability of the human camp.
Count Aini is very efficient. He probably wants to let Duer and Pierce see it before they leave.
Early the next morning, a viscount came to visit in person, bringing with him the 50 trainee knights that Count Aini had promised to Xu Lai.
"Your Excellency Xu Lai, Jimmy Martell would like to say hello to you."
A dignified viscount took the initiative to say hello to Xu Lai, a first-level baron. I'm afraid no one would tell him. letter.
Xu Lai hurriedly replied: "Hello, Mr. Jimmy."
Jimmy Martell waved his hand and said: "My friends all call me Jimmy, Mr. Xu, please don't be polite."
This Mr. Martell comes from the Martell family and is a young 6th-level knight. Because of his title of Viscount, he obtained the position of commander of the Knights from Count Aini.
Obviously, Martell's family does not have the inheritance of heroic blood, but in such a long-standing family, he can still become a level 6 knight. Martell is not like other nobles who only know how to eat and drink. Have fun.
The 50 trainee knights were handed over to Xu Lai. Obviously, Jimmy, the leader of the knights, did not need to personally take part in the task. This task was requested by Jimmy himself in order to have an excuse to get to know Xu Lai.
There may be idiots among the nobles, but the proportion of talented people is definitely much higher than that of ordinary people.
Xu Lai did not stand out in this war. After all, without the help of the Temple Knights, he would have nothing to show off.
But outsiders didn't know what happened on the battlefield. They only knew that Xu Lai personally cut down the royal flag of the stronghold and destroyed the stronghold's headquarters. A baron who had become a monk halfway, his reputation was now only lower than that of Count Aini.
As mentioned above, reputation is intuitively reflected in this world. The things Xu Lai did successively earned him a total of 1630 reputation points.
This is already an astonishing number, an achievement that an ordinary noble cannot achieve in his lifetime. After all, annihilating thousands of wild monsters only gives 10 points of reputation.
Ordinary nobles can cut down the royal flags of other camps several times in their lifetime. The total number of such things for all camps should not exceed 30.
Therefore, Xu Lai has a special aura in the eyes of these indigenous people.
Otherwise, even if Archbishop Duer, Count Aini's savior, helped speak, Aini would not give him such face.
If placed in an online game, Xu Lai is like that, wearing a conspicuous bag with a title bigger than the player character on his head, and even this conspicuous bag will emit light from time to time to blind others. The light of the eyes.
Therefore, no matter whether they have other thoughts in their hearts, many nobles actually want to get to know and make friends with Xu Lai.
In fact, at the dinner last night, many people were ready to get to know Xu Lai.
It's a pity that Xu Lai doesn't like socializing, and the sacrifice of Duma and other holy knights really made Xu Lai uncomfortable and unwilling to stay in such an occasion.
Of course, people came to the door today, and they came with "heavy gifts". Xu Lai couldn't ignore them both emotionally and rationally.
After a few casual pleasantries, Jimmy mentioned whether the territories of the two sides were mutually beneficial, and also mentioned what was discussed when the heroes gathered last night. Xu Lai expressed joy at Jimmy's invitation and promised to send a caravan to the Martell family's territory immediately after returning to Qingfeng Town.
As for the discussions of the heroes, Xu Lai laughed it off and did not express any opinions. He also rejected Jimmy's suggestion of helping him out.
After receiving these knights and adding the archer troops led by Dill, Xu Lai's troops looked more majestic than when they arrived.
In order not to arouse the dissatisfaction of other nobles, Xu Lai negotiated with Archangel Ryan, and he led his troops back to the territory first.
The Temple Knights packed their luggage and purchased supplies this morning and will set off in the afternoon.
After leaving Stone Castle, Ryan will take Archangel to Qingfeng Town in Xu Lai to try a resurrection technique for the knights under his command.
The Archangel flies very fast, so you don’t have to worry about catching up with the large army even if you go back and forth.
And with the priest on foot, the temple knights could not go too far in half a day without worrying about being in danger.
But before leaving, Xu Lai had one more thing to do.
Xu Lai's heavy lance was lost on the battlefield, so he turned back and picked up his heavy lance.
At the same time, he did not forget to collect some high-end weapons on the battlefield.
Now in his space backpack, there are several orc battle axes that are about the same height as a man, half-orc warrior throwing axes, etc.
Only the ogre's big stick, Xu Lai really didn't like it, and Behemoth's claws were too big, which was a waste of space, so he collected almost everything else.
Before leaving Stone Castle, Xu Lai found Wang Chao, gave him several weapons and equipment, and sincerely invited him to visit his Qingfeng Town.
Wang Chao's face turned red, but he did not refuse Xu Lai's kindness.
Xu Lai's space backpack was filled with a lot of supplies. Of course, he was not willing to slowly clean out the backpack for some garbage, so he got some good goods, at least level 6 weapons and equipment.
The one-handed ax of the orcs is perfect for human warriors to use as a two-handed ax, and it is very powerful.
Wang Chao really couldn't bear to refuse such astonishing injury data.
Wang Chao used the flying ax of the orc warrior as a one-handed axe. When the blade of the sixth-level flying ax lightly touched his own wooden shield, a large crack immediately appeared in the shield.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers were all envious and greedy.
However, Xu Lai didn't care what others thought at all. He just rode on his noble war horse that was taller than a man, and led a group of high-level archers and knights towards Qingfeng Town. Go.
Before leaving the Temple Knights’ station, Xu Lai had already bid farewell to Pierce and the others, and relieved himself of his duties as the leader of the Knights.
At that time, Pierce hesitated to speak. He looked at Xu Lai and sighed. The invitation that he hoped to keep leaving could not be uttered in the end.
Xu Lai also had his own thoughts, so although he guessed what Pierce wanted to say, he just kept it in his heart.
Although the time spent with these temple knights was short, Xu Lai still showed his feelings for them after all.
They set off from Hard Rock Castle in the morning. Most of them were knights. The archers who followed them were of high level and had high agility attributes.
More importantly, compared to when he came, Xu Lai had an advanced vanguard flag and intermediate logistics skills. Therefore, before evening, Xu Lai could see the outline of Qingfeng Town in the distance.
After walking for about two weeks, the Qingfeng Town in front of me is completely different from what it was before Xu Lai left.
However, Xu Lai did not have time to find out what changes had taken place in Qingfeng Town. Lane and others in disguise had already been waiting in the church for a long time.
Xu Lai hurriedly said hello to Su Ya and others, and together with Tahan, Yan Feng and others, moved the corpses on horseback into the church one by one.
Dil, who was half exhausted from the day and night, was rushed to rest by Xu Lai. Before the frost melted, Xu Lai and his people personally guarded the door of the church.
In the church, except for Archangel Ryan's beloved disciple Elena and Xu Lai, an outsider, even the two original priests in the church were kicked out.
It’s not that Ryan wants to be mysterious, but the whereabouts and status of the Archangel are kept secret at all times.
An archangel with full mana and an archangel with empty mana are completely different concepts.
Under the witness of Xu Lai, dozens of archangels shook off their gray cloaks, waved the golden wings on their backs, and slowly flew to the center of the church, being hit by the sunlight through the glass on the top. middle.
The archangels put their glowing two-handed swords against their foreheads and chanted incantations that even Xu Lai could not understand.
A stream of golden light shot out from the swords of the archangels and fell on dozens of corpses lying in the center of the church.
The ice on the corpse slowly melted. Under Xu Lai's nervous gaze, the seventh-level paladin was the first to stand up. (End of chapter)
