Magical Strategist

At this time, Meishi was waiting at the door in a carriage. Zhenlong jumped on the carriage, and the two set off together.

Because the monastery is located in a remote area, people have to go to a town dozens of kilometers away to purchase daily necessities. The round trip and the purchase of goods take a whole day.

The two sat on either side of the shaft, with the real dragon in charge of steering. The whip was raised, the wheels rolled quickly, and the exquisite monastery carriage bumped on the winding mountain road. The road was so steep and narrow that people dared not look down at their feet. Soon, the monastery disappeared behind them.

Because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they were both silent at first, with only the ticking of horse hooves and the sound of wheels rolling, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. The reason why Zhenlong didn't take the initiative to speak was because he recalled that he had a profound experience with Meishi in Podor, and he felt a little guilty. He didn't dare to look at Meishi any more, so he had to keep his eyes on the front.

"You've changed a lot. The young boy back then has become a different person in the blink of an eye." Mei Shi broke the silence and murmured.

"Growing old, huh?" Zhen Long replied, his expression somewhat unnatural.

Meishi glanced at him and saw that his delicate face had become more angular, his eye sockets were sunken, his eyes were more profound, he had a light beard on his cheeks, and his body was much stronger. After a look, Meishi said, "He has matured."

Zhenlong could only smile. "By the way, what made you want to become a nun? With Senior Meishi's skills, you can definitely become an excellent knight."

Meishi replied: "The nun is very good. With faith in my heart, God will protect me, save me from adversity, and keep me away from disaster. I prefer peace and quiet to a life of fighting and killing and uncertainty."

"So that's how it is. Anyway, what senior likes must be the best." Zhenlong replied.

Meishi glanced at Zhenlong calmly and said, "What about you? What do you plan to do in the future? Why don't you stay in the monastery and become a child of God? I will go back and ask the head nun to help you get a priest position."

Zhenlong declined politely: "I will consider your suggestion, but I have more important things to do."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"Kill all Gangyi!" the real dragon suddenly said angrily.

As soon as the words came out, Mei Shi covered Zhenlong's mouth with a slap.

The word "killing" is a taboo for Christians. God will punish those who easily take the lives of others. "My God, Mr. Lil has sinned against you. I feel ashamed and regretful. Please have mercy on him and forgive him. Amen." Meishi prayed silently. "Don't talk nonsense in the future." Meishi warned sternly.

"Yes, I won't say it again." Zhenlong said with shame. "It's like this, my comrades in the Light Group are waiting for me to make a comeback together. Although I failed once before, my power was also..."

"I believe in you because you are not a man who gives up easily." Meishi encouraged. "My sister has mentioned you a lot these days, saying that you are full of courage and integrity, and she likes you very much."

"Sister?" Zhenlong sounded a little ambiguous.

"I forgot to tell you that Sister Maria Theresa is my biological sister." Meish said with a smile.

Zhenlong nodded in agreement. No wonder Sister Sha took such good care of Meishi and loved him so much.

"Don't underestimate her, she is a musketeer who never misses a shot. People outside call her the 'Holy Spear Nun'." Meish said proudly.

"Sister Sha is the Holy Lance Sister?" Zhenlong asked in surprise. As for the Holy Lance Sister, Zhenlong had only heard of her name but never seen her in person. Her fame was no less than that of the "Three Musketeers of Humanity", "God of Fire" and "God of Thunder". It turned out that the master lived in seclusion.

In today's world, magicians, swordsmen, and summoners are popular professions, while few people delve into unpopular professions such as musketeers and boxers.

Along the way, the two chatted a lot, talking about everything. They seemed to have returned to the days when Podor practiced.

From Meishi, I learned that the nuns of St. Bernard's Monastery are divided into two types: combat nuns and rune nuns. Combat nuns are responsible for defending the safety of the monastery, while rune nuns are mainly responsible for prayer and theology. With the rise of the Fortitude Alliance and the resistance to "theism", monasteries around the world are facing demolition, and many nuns are forced to return to secular life. Therefore, the nuns of St. Bernard regard fortitude as a sin...

After driving for more than 30 kilometers, we arrived at a small town. This retro white town was quiet, leisurely and harmonious. People lived happily and were completely unaware of the outside world.

Most of the townspeople believed in God, and when they saw the carriage from the monastery, they all looked at it with respect and gave way. Meishi responded with a smile.

Finally, the carriage stopped at the door of a grain store. Meishi told Zhenlong to take care of the carriage while he went to the grain store to buy rice.

It was boring to just sit in the carriage and wait, so Zhenlong parked the carriage on a big tree at the entrance of the grain store and wandered around...

At this moment, at the door of an open-air teahouse not far from the grain store, two down-and-out soldiers in armor were watching the real dragon's every move.

"That man looks so familiar, I feel like I've seen him somewhere." A soldier thought, holding his chin.

"There's no doubt about it, he is the most wanted criminal of the Fortitude Alliance, Lieyan!" said another soldier.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go and catch him. His head is worth ten thousand blue diamonds!" As he said this, the soldier stood up and prepared for action.

"Come back! Do you want to die? I am a raging fire, I can kill you with just a flick of my finger."

"That's true, what should we do then?"

"Don't be impatient, let me think about it... Hey, look, Lieyan seems to be with the nun... They got on the carriage, well, judging from the carriage, the nun should be from St. Bernard's Monastery."

"Oh no, no, they're gone! Should we chase them?"

"Need not."

"Brother, that's a head worth 10,000 blue diamonds. Are you just going to let him go?"

"He can't leave. Let me ask you, who wants Lieyan to die the most?"

"Nonsense, of course it's my Fortitude Alliance. As long as Lieyan doesn't die, Fortitude will have one more scourge."

"It's Shimizu Ichiro. In my opinion, Lieyan has gone to the monastery. If we tell Shimizu about Lieyan's whereabouts and have him kill him, we won't have to take risks and we can get a bounty. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

"What a great idea! Let's go to the Qingshui family right away without further delay, shall we?"

The two of them rode away on fast horses...

After leaving the grain store, the two men stayed in the town for a while, visiting several blacksmith shops and incense and candle shops, and only set off back after filling the carriage.

The afternoon passed quickly. The sun was setting, and the afterglow stretched the shadow of the carriage very long. The fully loaded carriage was moving slowly along the winding mountain road.

Meishi was really exhausted. She had been busy all day buying rice, incense, candles and gunpowder. Now, she rested her head on Zhenlong's shoulder and fell asleep soundly.

Zhenlong was driving the carriage alone, feeling a little uneasy. This uneasiness was not without reason. Being good at seeing things, he noticed the strange looks from the townspeople. Although he had lost his power, he still had a clear mind and rich experience in investigation. He thought that the townspeople must have recognized his identity and that was why they were so frightened.
