Chapter 121 Queen’s Pawn, Hilud’s Promotion
The Mages Guild and the Church have never dealt with each other.
Candra, a powerful mage, appeared in front of Andres, leaving the black monk silent for a long time.
“It seems that I can’t save your souls.”
Priest Andres picked up the black suitcase, looked at Yeats coldly and said:
"There are too many fallen souls in your territory, and perhaps they can only be saved by more holy and kind messengers."
The monk in black leaned forward and said: "Please allow me to leave and go downstairs." A place waiting for salvation."
Yeats complained in his heart that he was indeed a hypocritical priest, and he could still find a high-sounding reason for giving up.
This thorn is buried in Yeats’s heart, but it is not convenient to attack Father Andres directly and make insinuations about his whereabouts:
“I don’t know what Father Andres is going to do next. Place? ”
"I am going to cross the Jueli Mountains and head to the north to spread the teachings of the Holy Light in the barbaric and ignorant country."
Andres chuckled and said: "If fate is destined, maybe there will be a relationship with Mr. Yeats has a chance to see you again, so, goodbye..."
Under the gazes of Yeats and Candela, this priest in black with a thin cheek and a temperament as cold as iron carried a metal gleaming cold light. black suitcase, the back gradually fades away.
Kandela gently put his hand on Yeats's shoulder, and a burst of mana poured into Yeats' body, saying:
"This is why I asked you to be careful of the Preaching Brotherhood. The reason..."
With Candela's help, Yeats's vision suddenly improved further, and he seemed to have clairvoyance, seeing the objects inside the black suitcase.
Three-edged nails, hooks, tooth saws, hammers, ax saws... the creepy torture tools were packed in Father Andres' suitcase, glowing with pure silver.
Yeats was in a strange mood.
This is more complete than the eight pieces of crab.
If this person is not eliminated, he will become a serious problem.
Could the ice dragon ‘Isidora’ be more powerful and spray him with a breath of dragon breath when he entered the mountain?
Obviously, Yeats was not opposed to the church and had no reason to keep Andres. And Andres' arrival this time also made Yeats seriously think about the issue of faith in the territory.
In the Middle Ages, the system of unity of government and religion prevailed in Europe. State power and religion were integrated into one, religion became the state religion, and canon law was the national law.
After surviving the beast tide, Yeats has established a very high prestige in the territory, and he can make the laws of Morning Frost Ridge become the belief of the people in the territory.
If you don’t recommend belief in the Holy Light, there is another very practical consideration: Belief in the Holy Light requires paying a ‘tithe’ to the Pope.
Among the teachings of the Black Knight is this teaching: Find the enemy of your enemy as your ally, and be prepared to compromise temporarily.
Yeats began to think seriously about the hostile forces of the Holy Light in "Phantom Wings".
"The forces of hell, the black knight, the goddess of magic, the goddess of moonlight... all seem to dislike the holy light."
Yeats secretly said: "There is also the King of the Wild Hunt, this is a The strong man who fights the gods alone seems to be... quite friendly to me?"
Unconsciously, Yeats couldn't help but think of the King of the Wild Hunt's actions in helping him lift the curse, but he was not sure of his true intentions.
Yeats sighed softly and began to miss having his teeth drilled.
If Drill Tooth is there, there will definitely be a way to create a fire between the Holy Light and the Gods. The key is to ensure Yeats's personal safety.
"Speaking of the drill tooth, could it be that it is also a mythical beast like the 'resurrected sacred pig' under the hand of the God of Food?"
Yeats guessed that in May, The spring event, Valkypus Night, should see the tooth drill again.
As for the present, Father Andres, whose intentions are unknown, and the ice dragon that is about to awaken, are Yeats' headaches.
In the Lord's Mansion, Yeats, Gray, Hillard, and Candela discussed the black monk just now.
Yeats praised Gray for stopping Andrés from preaching, and the praise made Gray scratch his head in embarrassment.
“Honestly, that guy turned out to be a fourth-circle pastor, which shocked me!” Gray was stunned. “He is also a well-known figure in the Preaching Brotherhood, right?”
Hilud pondered and said: "I heard that a cardinal generally needs to be held by a master with six rings. The fifth ring corresponds to an archbishop, and the fourth ring can be rated as a bishop."
Yeats secretly thought... Andres has the strength of a bishop and can stay in the diocese, but he still travels around as a priest and is also a tough-minded character.
Candela glanced at Yeats's expression and said in a broad voice:
"I will send my animal messenger to keep an eye on the movements of the monk in black. If he does anything out of the ordinary, I will take action on your behalf. "
Yeats was a little moved and said: "Thank you, teacher."
Candra's eyes were soft and he smiled slightly and said:
"I don't like church pastors at all. Besides, you and Snow Owl are my students, so it’s natural for me to help you, and I can’t even say thank you.”
As he spoke, Candela picked up a piece of gingerbread, took a bite, wiped his hand on his white robe, and blinked: "You think so?"
Yeats nodded dumbly.
At this time, Yeats noticed that Herod looked a little worried.
Involuntarily, Yeats couldn't help but think of the prophecy given to Herod by Father Andres -
"You can't change your destiny, you can only sit back and watch the people close to you die in front of you."
'But fate has been rewritten. ’ Yeats thought to himself, ‘I rewrote Sora’s fate in the game plot, which also left a piece of the puzzle missing in Herod’s growth. ’
Just like every Spider-Man in the world will die an Uncle Ben.
Sola is also like a key to Hilud that helps her awaken.
Compared to the Valkyrie who will be as good as the gods in the future, Hilud is still a sixteen-year-old girl. Although she hides her mood with an eagle helmet, she still reacts to Andres’ words. And feel confused and unconfident.
"Forget it... I also need to help Herod untie her heart knot." Yeats secretly thought, "Just use conversation, which is called conversation therapy!"
Hey, it seems like this joke has been played before? Forget it, never mind, I just praised Gray;
Let’s discuss life with Sirud tonight and get some goodwill...
*
Night falls.
Yeats learned from Candela that Father Andres had entered the Jueling Mountains.
"It seems that he really plans to go to the north to preach." Candela said using the text message technique that can span thousands of miles. Yeats replied: "I hope so."
Lord's Mansion, back garden.
The night was already dark, and Yeats could still hear the sound of the wooden sword chopping down the training pile.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, Yeats saw Herod tying her red hair into a ponytail, her eyes piercing, and her sword slashing hard on the wooden stake.
Seeing Yeats out of the corner of his eye, Herod wiped the sweat dripping from his cheeks and whispered:
"Sorry, I made you so noisy, I'll leave now."
"Wait a minute. "
Under the moonlight, Hilud stopped and looked back, and saw the silver-haired boy inviting:
"Want a game of King's Chess?"
Hilud was startled for a moment, shook his head and said, "Please forgive me, I don't have this intention right now..."
"If I guessed correctly, you should be considering your next plan." Yeats said, " By playing chess, I may be able to provide you with new ideas, and you can also have someone to discuss it with."
Hilud was silent for a while, and nodded slightly: "I'm going to change my clothes."
In the lord's hall, next to the king's chess table, Yeats smelled the fragrance wafting from Hilud's body. She had just finished taking a bath, with a blush still on her white arms, and she lowered her head to arrange the chess pieces on the chess table.
"Then, let's begin." Yeats motioned to Herod to play chess first.
Hilud nodded silently and played chess with Yeats. Within a few steps, he was killed and defeated.
When Yeats came up, he showed his master-level chess skills and played chess with Hillud. He was really suspected of crushing the children.
Just when Herod's king was besieged on all sides, she played "Eagle's Move" and destroyed the most powerful 'Queen' chess piece in the king's chess.
After losing the game, Hilud did not behave as irritably as before when he lost. He reorganized the chess and said in a low voice:
"I actually... am I would like to resign from you.”
"Why did you choose this time?"
"I promised to help you survive the beast tide. Now that the crisis is over, I should go to the next place."
"Where to go?"< br>
"Go back to the north..." Hilud whispered, "Sometimes people take the wrong path, and fate will push them back on track."
Click.
She accidentally knocked down the chess piece, and the sound echoed in the quiet room. A trace of disappointment flashed in Hilud's eyes.
"You mean, because you are a descendant of the red-haired king, you are destined to fight for the throne?" Yeats asked.
"No...Yeats...I'm just, just a little scared."
Looking at the defeated chess game, Hilud put his hand on his forehead and said:
"I seem to have a feeling that Sora will die in front of me sooner or later, and even you will suffer misfortune because of me..."
"Recently, this feeling has become stronger and stronger. I think it's time for me to leave Morning Frost Ridge and find a solution..."
"Your hunch may not be accurate..." Yeats said.
Hilud smiled bitterly and said: "My premonition has already come true with my adoptive parents and my teacher... I don't want it to come true a second time, so I leave now before it's too late."
Yeats was silent for a long time and said:
"In king's chess, the weakest chess piece is the king. He is not even as good as the imperial army. The only thing this king has to do is to be protected. .”
Yeats leaned over, picked up the chess pieces on the ground, and placed them in front of Herod.
It was a Black Queen. The candlelight shone on the queen's crown, reflecting Herod who bowed her head and remained silent.
“The strongest chess piece is the queen. Once there is someone to protect, she will become an invincible warrior who can clear all obstacles on the chessboard.”
“Xilu Germany."
The young man's voice fell in her ears. Hilud looked up, and the smiling silver-haired young man was reflected in his eyes, and he handed a queen chess piece in his palm.
"Don't be a king who is protected by others, be a queen who protects others."
"Protect?" Hilud said in a daze.
“If the people you don’t want to be close to die in front of you, then use your power to protect them.”
Yeats said with a smile: “Isn’t that what your sword is for? "For fighting?"
Hilud's eyes flickered, looking down at the queen's chess piece handed over by Yeats, feeling her heart beating inexplicably.
She slowly reached out and picked up the queen chess piece in Yeats' palm, feeling all the blood in her body rushing to her brain.
"Become...queen..." Hilud murmured softly.
Yeats: "..."
Huh? Are you mistaken?
The red-haired beauty looked at the queen chess piece in her hand, her cheeks were flushed, she was so charming, and her shoulders relaxed as if she had put down a heavy burden.
The circle of life that had been suspended for a long time suddenly broke through, inspired by the way of guardianship.
Hilud was promoted to Knight of the Four Rings!
Yeats: "..."
Telling her now will be wrong and she will be killed...
