"Master Otis, he is here."

There were whispering voices from the crowd, and they were quite surprised at

the arrival of the Paladin Knight Commander. Although the scene today is a bit

chaotic, it is not a major event. After a while, the Ten Sword Palace can

mobilize personnel to easily disperse the troubled pastors, and then talk one

by one to slowly eliminate the matter.

But now that the large group leader personally appears, the nature of the

matter will become official, and it will not be so easy to suppress it.

"Why are you making noise here, disturbing the order of the holy mountain."

Captain Odis had a serious face, his sharp eyes slowly swept across, and those

present did not dare to look directly at him and bowed their heads.

The scene fell silent, and after a while, a pastor's voice trembled a little

to explain.

"We have suffered injustice, thinking, wanting to ask for an explanation, and

fairness." He looked nervously at the lion-like man.

"What injustice have you suffered." Odis's voice was calm as a mountain.

"We have all these years..." After that, he began to explain slowly, and some

of his companions gradually began to talk to help supplement.

The implication is probably that a group of pastors who had similar

achievements in the past, because of the different churches and regions, as

the years passed, the status and treatment gaps were significant. They worked

harder and paid more, but they did not receive the corresponding respect and

Instead, they were mocked and looked down upon by the pastors of the rich

regions.

"Why is this? We are dedicated to the church in the most difficult place and

fulfilling our responsibility for the peace of this world, yet we have to

suffer such humiliation!"

"The mud priest, the coal priest, the shabby guy from the country, etc., this

is the title they place on us, no matter how long we work, no matter how much

we give, the chance of promotion will not be our turn. "A group of people

talked and talked, recalling the hardships of these years, some even shed

tears, which made many onlookers feel sad and moved.

"Your efforts and hardships are seen by the church and will be remembered

forever." Otis' tone at this time also eased slightly.

"But your behavior like this is not good after all. In this way, everyone is

like this. What is the order? It is absolutely not advisable to distribute

according to the trouble."

"You go back first, believe this matter, Ten Sword Palace and the church will

give you an explanation."

People who had been extremely harsh in the past showed this soft feeling at

this moment, which immediately moved the pastors, so they all admitted their

mistakes, saying that such an excessive procession should not destroy the

order and peace in the sacred mountain.

Finally, under the arrangement of these holy spear knights, they returned to

the guest mansion outside the Holy Flame Palace to rest. This was the

residence of the branch church when it came to the headquarters.

After watching this group of people disperse and disappear into the night, the

guards of the Ten Sword Palace frowned slightly. Today this incident was

really sudden. They just received the news and rushed over. They didn't expect

things to develop like this.

"What to do, Captain?" asked a guard next to him.

"Let's report to Master Sibis first, this matter doesn't seem simple." The

golden armor guard put away his weapon and walked quickly to the Palace of Ten

Swords with someone.

---------

After the incident on the opposite side of the mountain, the crowd dispersed

and slowly recovered quiet, and in the restaurant under the Holy Flame Palace,

seven students from Emenes were enjoying their dinner.

Compared with other palaces, the restaurant here seems to have more meat,

which greatly satisfies the recent lack of taste of this group of students.

"Come on, have another drink." The boys drank a little, blushing and thick

necks.

"dry!"

Although the language and culture are completely different, the scenes on the

wine table are always so similar. Lorrain Hill looked at the people in front

of him, shook his head slightly, and then turned his gaze to the small wine

glass beside him. Among them is the light red fruit wine, which seems to be

brewed from a kind of red plum from the holy mountain, the degree is not high,

and the taste is sweet and sour.

She seldom drank alcohol, but at this rare gathering, she didn't want to be

too maverick, so she ordered a glass of fruit wine.

"Rocher, Boli, come, let's have a toast too."

Jelica was holding a blackjack and wanted to clink with the two people beside

her. She seems to drink well, and seems to drink often before.

"I can only drink a little bit, otherwise I'll get dizzy." Boli looked at the

liquid left in her glass with a little fear, as if it was something extremely

difficult and bitter to drink.

"Okay, okay, you won't be embarrassed. Luo Xier, how do you drink, if you

can't, don't force it." Jelica turned around and looked at the silver-haired

girl who was slightly dazed with the wine glass.

"It's nothing, it's okay." There was a smile in the girl's voice, and then the

girls touched the cups again before they slowly finished drinking the liquid.

Compared with liquor with a high degree, most liquors on the Western Continent

are not too high in degree. There are not many merchants who use distillation

technology. Alchemists often use distillation to extract some substances.

The seven were just like that, and they ate and chatted until the night

darkened.

"It's too early. Let's stop here for today's party." After eating the dishes

on the table, the few people drank almost, so it was time to partake.

"I will go back with Roshill and Boli. You boys should take care of each

other." Jelica said first, she didn't want to help these drunk boys, nor did

she want her two friends to help.

"Well then, be careful on the way."

Hesen nodded to the three of them, and then one by one, he directly carried

them on his shoulders and walked out of the restaurant slowly, like a rare

strongman. The others held hands to each other and walked out of the

restaurant slowly.

"Let's go, too. Boli don't look, don't worry about them. Among us, except for

you, all of us are above Sequence 5, and there will be no safety issues on the

road."

"Well, although...but...you are right, but I always feel offended." Boli

murmured a bit unwillingly, and then she was dragged away by Zelika grinning.

Up.

The three of them returned along the mountain road. Because they were more

sober and didn't need help, they walked relatively briskly and slowly

disappeared into the night.

---------

The Palace of Ten Swords, the Inner Palace of Flowing Water.

Sibes is eating, and the large table is full of swept-up plates. His appetite

seems to have been good.

belch--

The potbellied man finally put down the cutlery in his hand and stretched out

his hands. The attendant on the side came immediately, wiped his hands with a

wet towel, and then asked people to start cleaning the table.

"It seems a bit noisy outside today, let the captain on duty come in and

report." He lay on a comfortable chair, closed his eyes, and let the nun

behind him massage his head, speaking softly.

"Yes, Sir Sibis." Then an attendant went to inform the captain of the guard

who had been waiting for a long time at the door.

"Sir Sibis..."

The captain saluted first, and then slowly reported what happened in the Holy

Flame Palace this evening.

After he finished the report, Sibis did not respond immediately, but was quiet

for a while.

"I see. I will wait for you and the few who were there to transcribe the

details of the time and put it in the palace. Someone will analyze it slowly."

"Yes, Master Sibis."

"Well, then you go down first." He raised his fat hand and waved it slightly,

letting the people on both sides exit the palace, leaving only a nun who

helped him with the massage and a close attendant.

"Odis...heh, when did you become so cunning." He seemed to sigh something, and

then asked the two people beside him.

"You tell me, is he doing things with good intentions and impartially, or he

has no intentions."

"Of course it's not intentional." The attendant on the side said so, seeming

to be happy to have the opportunity to perform.

"Oh, then you can analyze it for me." Sibis closed his eyes with a smile on

his face.

"If the original normal development, the guards of our Ten Sword Palace will

arrive, disperse the group of disturbing priests, and then detain a few

leaders, slowly ask for a few months, and wait for the heat to pass, then give

them to them. It’s just a little benefit."

"But now is the critical moment of the Pope's election. In this way, although

he helped us stop the incident, we will be a little passive in our follow-up

no matter how we act."

"If we still ignore this matter and let it go on, the stigma on our heads will

not be eliminated, which will greatly affect the recent elections."

"But if we solve it, the situation will be worse. It is much easier to pick

the wrong thing than to solve the problem. A little carelessness will cause

greater conflicts. When more people see the benefits, they will think that we

are the Ten Sword Palace. It’s good to bully, and like this group of pastors,

they will trigger the conflicts over the years one by one."

"It could have been forcibly suppressed, but after this group of Paladins

appeared, we would be stopped by them when we went to arrest people near the

Holy Flame Palace. At the same time, such behavior would in turn prove that we

were guilty of conscience and did not dare to announce it. The crowd, greatly

damaging the prestige of the past."

He happily analyzed, speaking more and more, seeming to be proud of his

intelligence.

Bang bang bang ——

Sibes patted his palms and said, "Very good, not bad, it is true. But do you

have any good countermeasures?"

"This..." The excited attendant suddenly got stuck, and couldn't think of any

good ideas for a long time.

"Then keep quiet. If you can't solve the problem, don't raise the problem

aggressively. No matter what organization it is, where it is, there must be

various problems and problems. If you can see it, but you can't find an

effective solution. The solution is to pretend not to see it."

"Things that give people hope and take away are the most hated."

"Yes, Sir Sibis." The attendant who had just been publicly quieted suddenly

and stopped speaking.

Sibes leaned on the recliner, enjoying the coolness in the courtyard of the

Inner Palace of Flowing Water. He slowly played with the gadgets in his hands,

his eyes condensed slightly, as if he was thinking of some questions.

When it was late at night, he signaled and asked someone to call in the

captains of the guards outside the palace. After a few soft orders, he went

back to take a bath and then went to rest.

--------

After returning to her place of residence, Boli went to bed early. After

taking a shower, Lorrain Hill sat at the desk with a pen in her hand and wrote

under the dim light of a candle. What are you paddling?

As the pope's election approached, she also began to consider her future

choices, whether to participate in it and interfere, or to keep a low profile

and not participate in this event.

It is foreseeable that once you participate, you will definitely be at risk,

either because your identity will be exposed or it will trigger a conflict

between the two countries.

However, it is not appropriate to not interfere at all. If the Sanctuary is

biased towards the Frost Rose, then Crancia will face an extremely difficult

opponent in the future.

The church has its own branches all over the mainland, and its reputation is

good, and it has a considerable public base. If it is done right, it will not

only face hundreds of thousands of extraordinary people, but also deal with

the surging public opinion. These will become huge instability. Factors, shake

the foundation of the country.

It seems that you still have to get involved, at least you have to choose a

pope who is neutral.

Lorraine shook his ears with some wet hair. The night wind blew through his

body and felt a hint of coolness. He drew four names on the paper,'Charente,

Otis, and Sibis'. Beines'.

According to its daily behavior and rumors, ‘Sibis’ is not a good united

partner for Crancia, and there is a huge gap between the values of the two

sides.

Although ‘Odis’ usually has a rigorous style, he is the kind of person who

attaches great importance to his own interests, and he will be very

troublesome and unwilling to join with him. He is only on the side of interest

and has great ambitions. For Crancia and Frost Rose, he is not a good ally.

Only choose him when there is no choice.

"Charente" himself is too mysterious and powerful. The personnel of the two

parties dare not easily draw in and contact them so as to avoid them from

feeling bad. Perhaps he is more loyal to the duties and justice of the church,

and using small means in front of him will only take it for himself. disgrace.

The only one who seems to be able to speak well is ‘Beenes’. She is not bad in

her own strength, has a kind personality, and has a group of loyal and close

supporters.

But since they have become Sequence 9, their character and wisdom are not idle

existences, and they are not people who can easily coax and persuade.

If you want to really win over this priestess, you have to show your

sincerity, otherwise it's useless.

Lorrain Hill used a pen to draw a circle on Beines's name, and then wrote some

information beside it to aid thinking.

'Angel Sequence 9'Water Dew Golden Branch Moon'' Aquarius Palace Scepter

Priest'' Emenas InstructorIntellectual partiality'' can communicate Calm

and wise'' Public and private distinctionsI already know my identity'' Live

She stopped her pen~www.mtlnovel.com~ and looked at the page in front of her,

thinking slowly, and her body remained motionless.

After a long time, she continued to write a line of characters, and then put

down the pen in her hand.

It seems that we still have to talk to the priestess to see what her views

are, and how similar or similar parts of these views can be found in Crancia,

so as to strengthen mutual recognition.

She is not the kind of person who can be easily shaken by profit, but she will

give in because of some ideals and righteousness. This is also what makes

Lorrain Hill quite good.

Hope each other can become friends.

Lorrain Hill blew out the candle in front of him, put away the paper sheets on

the table, and went back to bed to sleep.

The moon fell westward, and it was as cold as water late at night.
