"This is the artillery that bombarded the demons?" From the first moment the
girl boarded the Baisha, she was attracted by the long metal tube on the bow
deck-it looked so special, not so much. The barrel is more like a steel column
used to build a machine.
"Yes." Xia Fan nodded.
"Can I see what it looks like inside?"
"That won't work... It is Jinxia's top secret, and only officials from the
Bureau of Mechanical Engineering are qualified to contact it."
"Really, it's a pity." Taxis smiled regretfully.
Compared with the spirited look when she first entered the city, she was
obviously haggard at this time, with bandages on her arms, the color of her
hair was slightly dull, and there was a dark circle under her eyes. It can be
seen that the aftermath of the trial team is not optimistic. Coupled with the
changes in people's views on the church, the situation is even more
complicated.
Xia Fan did not take her to the stern tower captain's room, but led her onto
the front deck of the Baisha. The view here is wide, and the whole busy harbor
area has a panoramic view. Compared to a cup of elegant rock sugar black tea,
he feels that the blowing sea breeze is more relaxing.
"How are your subordinates?"
"Not so good." Taksis held on to the railing and looked at the direction of
the sea. "Six people died in the trial team, and four were seriously injured.
I have entrusted the Cleft Tooth family to send the injured to Sheila for
treatment. I don't know if they can. Until then."
"Where is the guardian knight?"
She shook her head.
Sure enough, Xia Fan said in his heart that even with a thick-skinned body
like a dragon, he could not escape bad luck after breaking his wings and
falling from the air.
"If it weren't for them, we wouldn't be able to rush in front of the demons."
"..." Taxis said after a moment of silence, "Are you comforting me?"
"You can understand that." Xia Fan spread his hands.
She glanced at him slightly unexpectedly, "It seems that my cognition has gone
wrong... none of the Easterners who have been in contact with you before are
as direct as you. There are also the new artillery and elves on the ship's
attitude towards you. …I’m a little curious now, what happened to your side
after the route was interrupted."
"This is what you think of?" Xia Fan pretended to be helpless. "After
resigning from the trial team, you must be very suitable to be a historian and
archaeologist."
"Thank you," she said suddenly.
The moment this sentence was uttered, Taksis's tone became very light.
The two were silent for a while without an appointment.
By the time she spoke again, it was already dozens of breaths later, "I am not
here to ask you to complain. Although such a major loss is rare, the
dragonborn who joined the trial team are ready to dedicate their lives to the
church. You are not a member of the church, so I don't want to bring the heavy
atmosphere to the boat."
Xia Fan was noncommittal, "If you are here to thank you, I think it's enough."
"Of course it's not enough. I said that the church never treats anyone who is
gracious. Sheila Sanctuary has sent a formal invitation letter. Please go to
the church headquarters to accept the award." Taksis took out a golden
official letter in her arms. , Changed hands and handed it to him, "Since you
came to the Holy Wing Islands for the Son of Hera, I guess someone is waiting
for treatment? Now that the Son of the Holy Spirit has an accident, the church
may be able to meet your requirements in other ways. ."
"You mean... the other people in the Pope?" Xia Fan was taken aback, "But I
heard that God Blessing is a double-edged sword..."
"It seems that you are fully prepared for this trip." Taksis took a deep
breath and got rid of the low state just now. "It is true that this magical
technique will hurt itself, but the followers of Hera are good at resisting
themselves. Evil erosion, combined with holy water baptism and imprisonment
spells, can eliminate the erosion little by little. As long as you don’t
suffer too much at one time, the harm of this technique to yourself is
completely controllable. After all, the sons of the Holy Spirit will also take
on important positions in the church in the future. Maybe a group of diseased
seedlings destroyed by evil spirits will lead the world, right?"
"It sounds like it will take a lot of time to eliminate the influence. Are
there any church leaders willing to save people?" Xia Fan received the
invitation letter, still with some doubts in his heart.
"There is no precedent for this, but I will try my best to fight for you." At
this point, Taksis's expression took a lot of seriousness. "Your achievements
are fully worthy of this reward. The Pope also praised you in his reply. So
the possibility of an exception is not small. Even if it doesn’t work, there
are many good things in the church’s treasury for rewards-such as the magical
amulet that protects the body from the evil demons and the potion that
prolongs life."
It sounds pretty good.
Xia Fan wondered in his heart that if the Hera Church was willing to make a
move, Felayton would naturally not need to cooperate.
After all, the robbery is not a good choice no matter how you look at it.
In addition, Olena wants to go to Sheila to meet her younger brother, so it
doesn't hurt for everyone to take a trip to the king.
"If that's the case, then I'm disrespectful." He replied.
"It's fine if you are willing to accept it." Taksis's tone was also a little
brisk. "I have already greeted you on the earl's side. The White Sands can
enter the inland waterway and head north at any time-this time it won't be
anymore. Someone stopped you."
"This saves me a lot of time." Xia Fan put the golden official letter into the
long sleeve. "I thought that the affairs of the Son of the Holy Spirit and the
gods would hit you tremendously, but you don't seem to be deeply trapped.
Among them."
Her gauntness is more from the busyness and the injuries all over her body,
but the look in her eyes still exists.
"If I am also lost, wouldn't I fail the faith of those who are still willing
to fight with me at the last moment?" Taxis leaned on the railing, looking at
the workers in the wharf area who were trying to rebuild. In fact, when you
think about it carefully, the god’s appearance only happened in the last
hundred years. Before that, the doctrine of Hera has always existed.
Everything we do is by no means meaningless. As long as the sun will rise, the
church will do. I will perform my duties to the last moment."
Xia Fan couldn't help feeling a little bit ~www.mtlnovel.com~ If all the
believers were as firm as her, the evil spirits might end here. However, the
real dangerous enemy is not the evil demon, but the group of hidden and
behind-the-scenes promoters.
From assaulting the parade convoy to carefully selecting the trial group
before it arrives, the other party's purpose is obvious.
Now that the church has finally exposed the flaws, how can they miss this
opportunity?
Hillah's response to the Holy See is the top priority.
Taxis must know this too.
That’s why she invited him to the royal capital so urgently. From the
perspective of the church, the Eastern forces are equivalent to an outside
force. If they can stand on the side of the church, they can more or less give
the restless believers a little bit. Confidence can also curb the ambitions of
the opponents by the way.
It's just that the East and the West are separated by an endless sea, and how
much her effort can play, I am afraid that only the gods can answer.
Xia Fan thought for a while, but finally didn't say these words.
At least for this moment, Taksis still lives up to the name of the sun.
Even if it was dusk soon, he wanted to make this light last longer.
