Chapter 79 Red Maple City
Follow the [Lost] enemy...?
Luo Xiu’s mind changed slightly.
In fact, this is not the first time he has faced [lost] believers.
Luo Xiu thought of another extraordinary guard of the "Golden Iris Caravan" at that time.
"The Curse Master" Cavill is the extraordinary person who [lost] his destiny.
"Follow the [lost] enemy?"
Luo Xiu then made a puzzled expression and asked Priest Leonard: "... [Lost], is it an enemy from the Theocracy?"
——The Holy Tower Theocracy is an ancient country located in the northern part of the Norland Empire, with [Lost] as its destiny to rule.
The relationship between the Theocracy and the Empire has never been harmonious, so Luo Xiu asked this question.
In the "Judgment War" of version 1.0 of "God's Destiny", in addition to facing behemoths like the "Dark Principality", the "Holy Tower Theocracy" is also the enemy of the empire.
However, in the previous life, the Theocracy used "holy war" as an excuse to intervene in the war when the war was intensifying and the situation gradually became clear, and it took a large piece of the cake of profits from the empire's iron cavalry.
"There is indeed their background." Leonard nodded and said, "I will take you to meet Pamier and the others. They will tell you the details."
…
The boundary of Songyuan territory, outside the city of Sina.
On the post road leading to "Red Maple City", a four-wheeled carriage was traveling through the jagged mountains.
This carriage is a unified standard for the Nolan Empire and city lord-level officials. Only the white curtain cloth of the carriage window is painted with a golden "sun" pattern to symbolize that it comes from the church of the "Holy Court".
Luo Xiu was sitting in the carriage of the carriage. Opposite him were another young priest and a paladin covered in heavy armor.
"Luo Xiu."
Connor smiled, "This should be your first mission of 'adjudicating heretics', aren't you scared?"
"...A little bit." Luo Xiu said in a deep tone, "To be honest, I don't know much about the methods of [Lost]'s enemies. The unknown is always scary..."
This is a lie——
He is very excited now! If there wasn't someone watching, he would have even wanted to find a bandit's nest and kill them on the spot.
Moreover, Luo Xiu, apart from not knowing which unlucky guy who obeys [Lost] he will meet, he may have a better understanding of [Lost] destiny than the bishop of the "Holy Court" Church.
Pamier, who was under heavy armor, glanced at Luo Xiu's position, and a cold female voice came from under the helmet:
"Fear is normal. Well... rather, fear is the motivation to survive."
Then, Palmier's tone became solemn and he got to the point: "The enemy we are going to face this time is a secret society called the 'Ancient Hermitage'."
"Ancient Hermitage"? I’ve never heard of it, but the name sounds quite ancient...
Palmier continued: "This is a small group of hermits who follow the [Lost] teachings."
"According to the information we have, members of this secret society usually show up where they find 'ancient beings' and try to steal the ancient secrets."
"..." Luo Xiu nodded.
Got it, they are ancient tomb robbers...
"So," Luo Xiu then asked, "Did a new 'ancient existence' seal appear in Red Maple City? And who requested assistance from the church for this task of 'adjudicating heresy'?"
"It's the Lord of Lodiv."
Pamier said, "I don't know any more than you about the 'ancient existence'... Captain Anthony will explain the other things personally after arriving in Red Maple City." Luo Xiu nodded, and then Say no more.
…
The carriage swayed all the way and arrived at Red Maple City three days later.
It was a medium-sized town.
But it is more like a "military fortress" than a town.
Because the location of Red Maple City is the border of Songyuan Territory and even the entire Nolan Empire.
There is only a continuous mountain range between here and the "Dark Principality", and the border with the "Holy Tower Theocracy" is only separated by a winding river.
Therefore, "Red Maple City" needs to be prepared at all times to resist the sudden invasion from the "Dark Principality" and the "Holy Tower" Theocracy.
This kind of geographical location will achieve the status of the "player main city" of Red Maple City in the previous life - because during the "Trial War", due to the strategic location of Red Maple City, this was one of the center points of the main battlefield. .
However, the "chaotic zone" at the junction of the Three Kingdoms like "Red Maple City" is a geomantic treasure in the eyes of players.
What the natives fear is what this group of fourth natural disasters craves - deserter organizations, criminals, cultists, secret black markets, battlefield corpse touchers...
Red Maple City, full of chaos and crisis, is where the "opportunities" that players are pursuing are located!
As a result, a large number of players poured into Red Maple City, and it gradually became an iconic area where frontline players gathered.
After that, after the "Judgment War" ended, the players who stayed there carried out a series of urban expansion and transformation, building it into a new type of city with player characteristics.
Although nominally, "Red Maple City" is still under the jurisdiction of the Nolan Empire, for some reasons, the Nolan Empire in the previous life gave players a considerable degree of delegation of power.
Luo Xiu opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the fortress city in front of him.
The familiar gray-brown magnolia city wall, the familiar double-layer triangular watchtower... Looking at the scene in front of him, Luo Xiu felt inexplicably like he was going home.
…
When the carriage arrived at the gate of Red Maple City, Pamier handed out the "Holy Judge's" pass document from the curtain of the carriage.
The guards on duty checked that everything was correct, so they neatly raised their swords and watched the "Holy Judge"'s carriage drive into the city.
"This is the little privilege of the 'Holy Judge'."
Connor's voice came from the opposite side of Luo Xiu. He smiled and said, "We don't need to be interrogated by the guards. This is the convenience brought by our identity."
This is quite convenient, Luo Xiu thought, and at the same time he heard the voice from Pamier: "After entering the city, we first go to the 'Glory Church' to meet Captain Anthony, and he will make the next arrangements for us."
Red Maple City - Glory Church, this is equivalent to the lower-level organization of the church in Red Maple City, and is on the same level as "Morning Town - Glory Church".
Captain Anthony? Pamier seemed to mention this name often... Luo Xiu pondered.
According to convention, the complete "Holy Judge" team does need to be led by a transcendent who has at least the third destiny of [Glory].
When Connor, Pamier and the others came to Morningside Town, Luo Xiu hadn't thought too much.
But now it seems that this "Captain Anthony" should have been somewhere else, performing some other mission.
"Okay." Luo Xiu nodded, but saw that Connor's expression on the opposite side was a little complicated. He was gritting his teeth and whispered bitterly: "Captain Anthony... If you don't pay Anthony back the money you owe..."
"He still owes me forty gold coins...forty gold coins..."
"..."
Luo Xiu seemed to smell the fragrance of melon.
There will be more tonight, let’s start with a chapter==
