The Rise of the Cemetery

This is an extremely simple hut, without gorgeous and exquisite furnishings, nor expensive and exquisite decorations, and it does not have the plethora of books in the houses of ordinary church people. Never saw another household item again.

There were not many people in the room, only three.

Sitting in a wooden chair and meditating silently is the human spokesperson of the God of Justice, the great Pope Nicholas I. His skin was gray, his muscles were slack, and the wrinkles all over his body drooped as if they had lost their vitality. The thin and withered body made this old man look so inconspicuous, but there was vitality in his quiet and wise eyes.

As a devout believer who transcended the common world, Nicholas I has been Pope for 63 years. In his hands, the power of the Temple of Justice has finally stopped its downward trend, and it has improved a lot in the past ten years. As the second-ranked religious force in the Tritheism, the Temple of Justice can have the current development trend, and the credit of Nicholas I is indelible.

Archbishop Anthony Latin was making an impassioned speech in the room, and he could be regarded as a representative of the radical side in the Temple of Justice. He was dressed in a clean purple-red sacred robe covered with beautiful poems praising the gods. Archbishop Anthony was tall, almost over seven feet tall, with broad shoulders and a sharp-edged face. In a pair of cold blue eyes, there was a serious imposing manner shining a little bit. golden light.

And the one who has been silent all the time is a middle-aged man with a black beard, a shaved head and a strong but not clumsy body, which seems to show that the master has an extremely resolute character. The knife-like facial lines are full of fortitude, the straight standing posture and the simple knight armor covering the majestic body, as well as the sword and shield badge on the chest, it is easy for people to guess his identity, Saint Martin Knights Captain Kent.

The arrival of Archbishop Van Kreiss made Anthony put away the impassionedness just now, and stood quietly on one side with a slightly red face, waiting for the Pope's decision.

The wrath of the gods is a top priority for any church. Ever since it sensed the inexplicable shock of divine power, the Temple of Justice has issued clear and clear instructions.

A group of cultists held an evil ceremony to steal divine power, and trapped the people of God. The time is 3 pm today, and the place is located in a certain sea area in the far sea area of ​​the Gem Sea. Due to the insidiousness and cunning of the heretics, the oracle did not point out to give more detailed information, but it emphasized that it was mixed with the remnants of the Arcane Empire period.

After closing his eyes and listening to the oracle, Fan Keris looked more solemn. Unlike the aggressive and militant Anthony, he tends to be more moderate and compromise in his actions. Therefore, he has his own different opinions and understandings about this oracle.

First, a crusade against the heathen was inevitable. As the people of the gods, the watchmen of the gods in the pastures of the world, it is their duty to eliminate the heretics who erode the order of the gods. On this point, no matter whether it is a radical or a moderate in the Temple of Justice, there is no objection.

However, how to conquer is related to the overall situation of the Temple of Justice. The oracle must be executed, but the way it can be executed can be considered at will.

The hiding place chosen by the cultists is overseas, where the power of the temple is relatively weak. Moreover, the oracle did not clearly give the specific coordinate location, which required the expeditionary force to conduct a long-term search in a vast sea area.

More importantly, it is the territory of the Sea Clan.

Even though it was only a remote area of ​​the ocean empire Patesel, it was extremely difficult for the expeditionary force of the Temple of Justice to act freely there. A small group of elite sneaking into the investigation may have little impact, but a large-scale search will inevitably call for the intervention of the Sea Clan.

Therefore, it is extremely necessary to send a real big shot there to coordinate the relationship with the Sea Clan, so as to thoroughly investigate the details of the cultists.

When the mature and prudent Van Kriss was bowing his head and meditating, Nicholas I, who had been resting with his eyes closed, finally opened his dark and cloudy eyes.

"Fan Kress, what do you think?"

"My lord Pope, the place where the cultists held the blasphemy ceremony pointed out in the oracle is in the northern sea of ​​the Gem Sea, which is close to the Principality of Novis. We might as well strengthen the strength there first." Van Kriss pondered for a moment, and continued: " Novus Diocese can also do some preliminary investigation work first, and once they find the lairs of heretics, the follow-up expeditionary force can strike with a thunderbolt and eradicate them completely!"

"Well, you're right. But Novus Diocese only has the 14th-level High Priest Heyman there, so..."

"My lord Pope, I am willing to go to Novus Diocese!" Archbishop Anthony, who was already prepared, stepped forward and bowed eagerly.

"Anthony, there is no room for you to fight and kill. Some incompetent heretics only dare to hide on overseas isolated islands to engage in conspiracy and tricks, using the sea clan as a barrier, and there needs a person who is good at coordinating to preside over it. Let Van Kriss handle the matter of purging the heretics this time! Kent, some members of your St. Martin Knights will also go with you!"

Although His Excellency Pope's words were weak, they carried irrefutable weight, and the three of them could not help but bow at the same time, awe-inspiring.

Half an hour later, orders were passed on one after another, and the giant temple of justice immediately began to operate quietly, and an elite team was quickly assembled. At the same time, under the efficient connection of the magic circle, several small parish priests far away in the Principality of Novus also received similar orders.

As a result, some pastors and church knights who were participating in the trials here took off their conspicuous church costumes one after another, mixed with passenger ships and merchant ships leading to the open sea, and set sail to different sea areas...

...

The portal is still open at the magical residence just designated by the young mage, and the coordinates are provided by Crow's Mouth who stayed here. Of course, when the mage is away, it is also responsible for the security work here. If there is an outsider visiting, Li Xun, who maintains a soul connection with it, can also find out in the shortest time.

As soon as the young mage got out of the portal, the crow's mouth flapped its wings and flew to his shoulder, and then whispered secretly in his ear.

"What's the matter?" Seeing the sneaky looks of the two, Siris couldn't help asking.

"Uh... that Betty is outside the door."

"Betty? That female apprentice who wants to seduce you? Isn't she in contact with the mysterious person? Does she want to try to approach you again?"

The questioning hearts of the two curious women were immediately provoked, and the fire of gossip was blazing, and they immediately urged the young mage to see what was going on, so Li Xun was staggered and pushed to the gate.

Li Xun looked back speechlessly at the two gossip girls who crept into the bedroom, shook his head and sighed, and opened the magic door casually.

Under the urging of the magic power, the two steel doors that fit perfectly slid open silently, revealing the female apprentice Betty who was anxiously pacing left and right outside the door.

Compared with the last time, she has restrained herself a bit. The clothes she wears have returned to the normal dress of a female apprentice, which is simple and plain, but her beautiful figure still cannot be concealed from some tiny places. It's a pity that she is not in the mood to show off her charm at all now, and she is so restless that she can't stand quietly at all, and can only suppress her boredom by walking briskly.

Just when she was still hesitating whether to knock on the door, the magic door opened silently, revealing the calm and steady figure of a young high-level mage inside.

The unprepared female apprentice suddenly took a step back, covering her mouth in surprise, with a look of shock in her eyes. Whether to ask to see the young mage, and what to say after seeing the young mage, she hadn't thought about these things before she suddenly saw the Lord, and she was flustered, and she didn't know how to react.

"come in!"

Li Xun took a step to the side, giving way to the door, and his simple words were full of undeniable toughness.

The female apprentice lowered her head and walked into the gate from beside the mage silently.

After the two sat down in the hall, Li Xun raised his eyes and looked carefully at this female apprentice who was full of thoughts and had other plans.

Bai Jingxin's long neck, brown soft long hair, slender and slender white fingers, including the sadness of biting red lips, these are the intuitive feelings that the female apprentice brought to the young mage.

Just as Li Xun was looking around, the female apprentice suddenly stood up from her seat, rushed to the young mage, fell to her knees, hugged his thigh and burst into tears.

"Master Li Xun...you save me!...I...I really...have nowhere to go!"

This unexpected move left Li Xun stunned and speechless. It wasn't until two dissatisfied cold snorts came from the depths of his soul at the same time that he came back to it, bowed his head in embarrassment and said, "Get up and talk!"

But the female apprentice seems to be convinced of his "kindness", and she just clings to his lap crying pear blossoms with rain, which makes me feel pity. It's a pity that there was someone behind the young mage, and he didn't dare to do what she did, his expression gradually became serious, and there was no sign of being moved on his fair and handsome face.

Li Xun held up the female apprentice's chin with his hands, looked at her panic-stricken with a blank face, dodged her eyes in shock and fear, and looked cold and heartless watching the show.

Seeing that the play could no longer continue, the female apprentice simply put away her tears, her eyes became shrewd and sharp again, and she looked at the young mage without blinking.

"Are you not afraid of me?" Li Xun asked in a deep voice.

"My lord is a kind man, why should I be afraid?"

"You have something to do with me?"

"I want to make a deal with my lord."

"Trading?" Li Xun couldn't help laughing and said, "You, a little mage apprentice, what can you bring me?"

"If I have no value, why should the adults follow me?"
