Mercenaries and Adventurers

"God of Saturn! Am I not mistaken?"

Priest Lothar-Batar was still drunk and hazy just now, but just got up and looked at Kiel, the whole person seemed to have been punched in the chin, and he stood up suddenly, widening his eyes. Eyes on Keel.

Kiel raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was going to be blackmailed later. This kind of good deed was blackmailed by the victim, which often happened in his previous life.

Can't tell at all.

Fortunately, this different world is often not a reasonable world, it talks about physics.

"What, what's the matter?"

Keel stiffened his tone to deal with the drunk who looked at him in surprise.

On the other hand, Bloodyaster is an old man. After carefully observing him under the dim light in the tavern, he realized that this man was not a drunk, but a young Saturn priest.

The emblem of the God of Saturn is displayed on the front of the torso of the robe worn by the other party. Although it is a bit worn out, just look at the complex emblem of the God of Saturn embroidered with expensive gold thread, as well as the decorations sewn with silver thread on the neckline and cuffs. This one is genuine.

And if you are familiar with the clothing and decorations of various churches, you can also tell that this priest is a pastor.

At this time, Xueyasite tugged on Kiel's clothes slightly, and when Kiel looked over, he slightly indicated with his eyes the identity of the other party's church.

But the priest's reaction was strange.

"There is something, there is something! Yes, yes, thank the great God of Saturn, the great Lord. You are the person I am looking for! Right? Right?"

Priest Batar looked excited, but he confused Kiel and the others.

"I'm the person you're looking for? What do you mean?"

Keir pulled a chair from the side and moved up one, hoping to hear what the other party could say.

Seeing Keel sitting down, Blood Gast also found a chair, and asked for two drinks of the kind he recommended from the tavern bartender.

"Here, drink and talk, drink and talk."

Keir took the wine glass handed over by his partner, tasted it a little, and realized the beauty of this ale.

"Not bad! The one you recommended is not bad. Come and touch it."

Keel and Bloodfang drank it like this.

Priest Lothar Batar, who was left alone, finally regained his ability to think at this time. He poured half a glass of wine from his glass onto his cuffs, wiped it on his face after getting wet.

"Phew, it's much better. This one, what's your name?"

Priest Batar calmed down, but his breathing was still very short. He had been waiting anxiously for several days, and finally, the visitor arranged by Saturn finally arrived in front of him.

Keel looked at the strange behavior of the other party, chuckled and said: "Joe Keel. A knight squire, from Kendall County in the Northwest Province. Where is this priest? Why are you so excited to see me? We haven't seen him. pass?"

Xueyasite also took a sip of his drink, thought for a while and said, "Are you a priest of Saturn? I am familiar with it in the local area. I have never seen a priest of Saturn at your age."

Priest Batar, who unconsciously showed a smile on his face, coughed lightly and began to introduce himself: "You two, my name is Lothar Batar. I am from the southern province of the kingdom, not a Saturnal priest from the diocese of Montoka. However, I am indeed an official Saturnalian priest with the position of pastor, but due to some accidents, I came here."

When talking about the accident, the priest who was smiling showed a lonely and sad expression on his face.

"Oh, what happened? Is it related to me?"

Kiel had a funny face. He had never been to the southern provinces yet, so it seemed that something was coming to him.

Let's listen first.

"I was originally a missionary sent by the Saturnalia Church in the countryside, in a place called Changmai Village. It was originally peaceful and peaceful. Although the taxes were a bit heavy, the food was harvested year after year, and life was good."

"but."

Keel shrugged and said a but.

This sentence seemed to make him laugh, but the other two people present did not laugh.

"However, since the defeat in the war with neighboring countries on the southern border last year, the situation in the southern provinces has gradually deteriorated." With a heavy sigh, Priest Batar painfully recalled that night a few days ago.

So and so, so and so.

Keir couldn't laugh anymore. Of course, normal people can't laugh when they hear such stories.

Following the priest's narration, some people raised their ears, or surrounded them with wine glasses.

"It turns out that the southern province is so chaotic now."

"Isn't it? No wonder those refugees want to flee to us."

"It's all due to those useless nobles and useless troops in the south. Even the small country in the south can't beat it. It's really useless."

"Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you insulting nobles, you will be imprisoned."

Keir's face became weird, because the other party's words became more and more outrageous.

"After I arranged for the children of the believers, I made a solemn and long prayer to my god. The **** responded to me, and he told me to come here, Montoka City, wandering among the taverns, and wait for him A comer was arranged to save the people of Changmai Village. The redemption and punishment will be done by that comer.”

Keir raised his eyebrows and pointed to himself: "I'm the one who came?"

He and Xueyasite looked at each other: "Why didn't I know that I was arranged by the gods? No one told me?"

Xue Yaster didn't know what to say, so he had to drink in embarrassment.

Everyone around looked at the young Kiel, who was only in his teens and less than 20 years old, with a look of surprise.

Kiel didn't wear any armor today. Because he was going into the city, he changed into civilian clothes and put on a thin windproof cloak. The weapon did not carry Yueshui's head or a long sword to hunt and kill, which was too conspicuous.

He just picked an ordinary steel sword that he didn't know when he got it from the weapon rack in the dream, and then brought a dagger and a set of hand crossbows, armed with such a 'simple', and walked with Bloodfang From the barracks outside the city to the city of Montoka.

His appearance is not very good, so at this time the spectators around him are not very optimistic about the "comer" chosen by the god.

"Doesn't look good?"

"Yeah, not even a suit of armor, mud on the boots, and no horse."

"I'm being disrespectful, will the God of Saturn miss you?"

Keir rolled his eyes: "I'm really sorry for letting everyone down. Haha."

With an awkward smile, Keir chuckled and drank the high-quality ale in his hand: "Let's go, Ster. The story is over, it's very interesting. Shall we go somewhere else?"

After finishing speaking, Keir hurriedly squeezed away the crowd of onlookers, and the two walked out of this unknown tavern after paying the bill.

But Priest Batar didn't care about his unfinished drink, and hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, chasing Kiel and the other two.

The people around saw that there was no excitement, and gradually dispersed.

-

"Wait, wait. Ki, Kiel warrior, please wait."

Kiel turned around and stopped, crossing his arms and looking at the chasing Priest Batar: "The story is very tragic, and I believe it may have happened, but let me say first, I am not some unemployed adventurer or something I have a responsibility and a duty on me.”

He raised his hand and gestured towards the direction of the military barracks outside the city: "I said before that I am from Kendall, and there is an army from our Kendall County expedition outside the city. Although my position is not high, I also have a forward scout responsibility."

Kiel shrugged: "Your question, maybe you can spend money to find a group of outlaws or mercenaries, and let those people rescue the kidnapped villagers. If they are still alive."

Bloodfang also shrugged. Keir had finished speaking, and he had nothing to say.

"I'm sorry, I said it so suddenly, no one can accept it, right? But please believe me, as a priest, all this is true. The great Saturn did arrange for you to find me, no, I should find you .”

Priest Batar sighed, hoping to wait so hard, and to be so caught off guard, he was very nervous at this moment.

I'm afraid that all hopes will be messed up by his clumsiness.

"You say Keir is the one who came, how do you prove it? And why do you think he is the person you said? Not someone else?"

Bloody Gist hits the nail on the head with the key issue of spending.

"That's right! When we met just now, you thought I was the person you were looking for. How did you judge?"

Priest Batar breathed nervously for a while, then looked at Kiel with burning eyes, glanced up and down, and nodded solemnly again: "Yes, it is you. Because I searched the entire city of Montorka, But there is no other person who is not a Saturn priest, but is full of powerful Saturn divine power."

Keir widened his eyes, pointed to himself, and then pointed to the pedestrians around him.

"Can you see it? Just look at it with your eyes?" Keel asked in surprise.

Priest Batar looked at Kiel with a strange expression on his face, as if that wasn't the case.

Keir slapped his forehead with his hand and muttered: "I knew it, I knew it, the benefits never come in vain."

Blood Fangst asked Kiel in a low voice what was going on, and Kiel also whispered to his companion that the young Saturn priest who accompanied the army had used a large amount of the Saturn priest who was carrying the Harpy on his body before. The thing that divine power poured into him.

"The original phantom divine power seed in my body germinated because of this, and the divine power circulated throughout my body."

Blood Yaster looked surprised, and then envious.

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Keir replied casually: "I thought it was a good thing before, but now I'm not sure."

He curled his lips and turned to Priest Batar who had been waiting at the side: "This priest."

"You can just call me Priest Batar, and so can Lothar. Warrior Kiel."

Seeing the change in Kiel's tone, Priest Batar said immediately.

"So, Priest Batar. My side may, perhaps, be the 'comer' you're waiting for. But I don't have much time to help you save the villagers right now, although I do have the idea of ​​doing good. But after all, I have a position in our army, and I can’t decide where and what to do at will. At least I have to get the consent of my teacher, Knight Doddell-Crow and the commander of my army: Baron Kendall.”

Kiel's words made Priest Batal look nervous.

"That's it, then can you give me a chance to meet the two adults? I believe they will agree to my request. After all, the lives and futures of hundreds of villagers are at stake."

Kiel looked embarrassed, he didn't think he could really save hundreds of villagers by himself. He couldn't even name the hundreds of militiamen in the army.

But he knew that he had already obtained the benefits from the gods first, and that this matter was arranged by the **** of agriculture. Perhaps, possibly, probably, the two adults would really agree to this matter.

After all, Keir's role isn't as important as he says it really is.

"Okay, okay. You can ask, I don't really care. It's actually a good thing to save the villagers who are suffering."

Kiel sighed heavily, and shrugged at Blood Fang: "So, it's a pity that I can't visit this big city today."

"Haha, there's nothing really wrong with Montalka City, it's just an ordinary big city. You'll definitely come back sometime in the future."

Bloodfang smiled.

"That's right, then, Priest Lothar Batal, are you returning to the barracks with us? It may take a while, the adults have all gone to visit the local viscount's mansion, and they probably won't be back until evening."

Priest Batar was about to agree, but his nose became sensitive immediately, and he smelled the alcohol and other smells on his body.

"I have to go back to church to clean myself up. Can you two go back with me? Wait a minute, soon, I'll change my clothes and scrub my body."

Keir shrugged: "Okay, at least I can drink good wine this trip, and I can also visit the local Saturnalia Church."

After finishing speaking, the three of them walked towards the Saturnalia Church in the local parish.

Priest Batar hurriedly walked ahead, while Kiel and the two who followed behind were talking about the bustling and wealthy street scenes along the way.

-

The Saturnalia Church in Montorka City was built in the central area of ​​the city. It was separated from several other surrounding **** churches by streets, but they were all gathered together, which was regarded as a local religious area.

Others still in the central area of ​​the city include an inner city castle with a large number of soldiers stationed, contiguous noble manors, and streets where many knights live together.

In addition, there are several streets where the government offices with the most traffic are located, where the city agencies that manage the entire city of Montoka are gathered.

Compared with other directions, the parish here is not so lively. In other words, as long as you walk in here, you can pass through the trees and architectural decorations on the street, making people feel calm.

It's not just because it's very quiet here. Keel took a deep breath and felt the many decorative plants around him, and the fragrance of flowers gave off a feeling of calm and comfort.

Unlike the narrow streets in other parts of the city, the streets in the parish are wide enough for seven or eight carriages to walk on them at the same time.

On both sides of the street, there are tall Chinese pines stretching out their branches, and under the trees are the beautiful flowers that are common in spring, clusters and clusters are pruned and cultivated by professionals.

When the three of them walked through the street where the Church of the Sun God was located, the sides of the street were decorated with intricately carved stone pillars, and large pieces of pure white rock were fixed on the towering stone pillars.

According to Xueyasite, at night, the white stones at the top of this row of stone pillars will emit bright light.

The whole street will be as bright as day at night, and it can't be seen during the day, but at night, it looks very lively here.

In this regard, Batar priest just smiled.

When they walked through the street where the God of Animal Shepherd Church was located, the style of the street changed again.

Tall stone sculptures of horses stood on both sides of the street one by one, and the appearance of each horse was carved lifelike. If it weren't for the appearance of a stone, Kiel would have thought that these were real horses here.

Curiously, he looked closer and found that under each horse sculpture, there was a detailed description of the horse's legendary experience in common language.

Xueyaster knows this very well, because his previous work relationship has dealt more with the Church of the God of Animal Shepherd.

"These are the war horses of heroes in history, and of course there are many other famous horses. This is Peter the Pegasus. It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, it dispelled the eclipse crisis and drove away the darkness covering the earth. But at that time There are no us humans, and it seems to have nothing to do with us."

He then pointed to other sculptures: "This is Outotec, a war horse with the blood of the dragon clan, and it is the mount of our first magic emperor~www.readwn.com~ After a brief introduction, Blood Fang pointed to the street The last statue: "Hey, this is the sculpture of the 'Old Overlord'. Although it is not the mount of the heroes, it is at least the most famous horse in the local area, and it is still alive. It is hard to say what famous achievements will be made in the future. "

Keel noticed that besides the legendary origin of the horses, all the statues had a sculptor's name on them.

And all the sculptors are one person, and he, Keil, has actually seen this sculptor.

Because the sculptor is the well-known Lean Hude sculpture master in Kendall County.

"This sculptor is the one who sculpted these horse sculptures, Master Lean Hude, we are from Kendall County. I talked to this old master last year because of work!"

As soon as Keel said this, the other two were taken aback.

Xueyaster was very interested in this, and hurriedly asked about the situation of Master Lean Hude.

When I heard that the master was still seeking to explore the skills of stone carving and sculpture in his old age, I couldn't help sighing that a master is a master, and it is far beyond the reach of ordinary people like them.

Then he said that if he, Bloodfangs, had achieved such an achievement, he would have been addicted to fame and adulation long ago.

"Haha, that's right, we ordinary people are like this. Is this why they can achieve such achievements?"

-

After crossing the street of the Church of the God of Animals, you will come to the street where the Church of the God of Saturn is located.

The environment here has changed again, the size of the street has not narrowed, but there are more big trees and decorative flower beds on both sides of the street.

Keel took a deep breath and smiled in satisfaction.

The mixed floral scent is really nice.
