Quadruple split

"That's it. As I said just now, Lord Lucius"

Goshawk, who had a resolute face but was covered with bruises, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said: "I followed your order and approached the east side of Sumir's main peak, and discovered something strange on the cliff on the mountainside. There was a kind of feeling that I was very familiar with. It's an aura that's hard to describe in words, yes, even though I'm a knight, I still feel a... uh... a very vital force permeating there."

"Drink the medicine."

Lucius sat back on the chair with a serious face, threw a bottle of light green liquid to Goshawk, and said in a deep voice: "Keep talking."

"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Lucius."

Goshawk looked pale and took a big sip of [a powerful healing potion with unknown ingredients]. His body, which was originally extremely weak due to the plane crash, immediately warmed up, and the various values ​​on the panel also began to rise rapidly.

Lucius nodded noncommittally, indicating for him to continue.

"I was a little nervous at the time, and I didn't pay much attention to hiding my figure. Instead, I chose to close the distance immediately.

Goshawk lowered his head in shame and whispered: "Then I saw a ray of light coming and going. Some places were very dazzling, and some places were fine."

Lucius tapped the table twice and interrupted rudely: "So what did you see under that light?"

"Well"

Goshawk hesitated for half a second, and then said with a strange expression: "I should have told you just now, sir."

Lucius narrowed his light gray eyes slightly and said coldly: "Yes, I know it very well, but I need you to repeat it now, Mr. Goshawk."

The latter suddenly stiffened and repeated what he had just said without thinking: "Yes, there are war horses under that light, many war horses. They stood there motionless, looking a bit scary with murderous intent. Above them Carrying the same number of knights, at least I think those people are knights, they are wearing golden armor and sitting on horses like statues."

"Um."

Lucius's expression seemed to soften a little, and then he nodded slightly and continued to ask: "Then, what else did you see?"

Goshawk frowned and muttered: "There are many people. I saw a lot of orc shamans, and some people wearing golden or white robes, holding sacred scriptures, hammers and a lot of messy things in their arms."

"Gold or White Robe Sacred Mace"

Lucius pinched his eyebrows, and there was a trace of fear in his lowered eyes, and asked slowly: "Do you know what the emblem of the Holy Religion Union looks like?"

"I'm not sure, sir. Although I spend most of my time in the Northeast Continent, I have never been a believer in the United Holy Religion. In fact, I feel that I can't get along with those people, or some of them."

Goshawk shook his head sincerely, and after a long silence, he said in a deep voice: "But I did see some emblems, although I don't know if they are from the Holy Religion Union."

"Draw it."

Lucius took out a piece of blank parchment from the pile of parchment in his hand and handed it to Goshawk, and said calmly: "The similarity is enough. I still have some research on those bastards from the Holy Religion Union."

"yes!"

Goshawk nodded and began to draw.

a moment later

"This should be the emblem of the Dawn Sect."

Holding the extremely abstract painting and studying it for a long time, Lucius, who almost blinded himself, rubbed his eyes, casually picked up a quill and scratched a few lines next to Goshawk's weird painting. Using his pen, he quickly completed a lifelike emblem of the Dawn Sect. He raised his head and asked, "Is that so?"

Goshawk nodded vigorously and looked at Lucius with admiration: "That's right, sir, not bad at all!"

"Oh, mine is not bad, but yours is much worse."

Lucius laughed dryly, and then quickly took out the parchment of the second chapter, and quickly drew on it the Justice Sect, the Sun Sect, and the Plenty Sect. These three groups, like the Dawn Sect, were also extremely important in the Holy Alliance. The representative emblem of the sect, asked in a deep voice: "What about these, have you seen them during the investigation?"

Goshawk shook his head honestly and whispered: "Well, I was really far away at that time, even if I was wearing the Eagle Eye Technique scroll that I was given before."

"I know you were far away from them."

Lucius interrupted him coldly and said sternly: "But you still have to answer this question, Goshawk, even if it's just a little impression, tell me whether you have ever seen these damn signs!"

Goshawk was silent for a long time, and then hesitantly raised his finger and pointed at the emblem of the Sun Sect: "I think I have seen this, sir. As for the other two, I'm really not sure."

"The Dawn Sect, the Sun Sect."

The last trace of blood faded from Lucius's already rather pale handsome face. He stared at the dazzling emblems on the parchment with splitting eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "Damn it, why are they in that place? How could it be in that place!!"

Goshawk, who felt an obvious chill, subconsciously shrank his neck and asked with a tense expression: "Sir, are those people really the Holy Church Alliance?"

"It's very possible, but it's not certain yet."

Lucius, who tried his best to calm down, rubbed his forehead and said in a low tone that sounded more to himself than to Goshawk: "Maybe it's just some cover-up. If you continue, see those paladins and priests. After that, how on earth were you discovered?"

Goshawk swallowed his saliva unnoticeably and muttered: "Everything happened too fast. I originally wanted to see more clearly, but the light around those people flashed into my eyes. As a result, when I came back to my senses, By that time, Dudu had been hit by several golden light arrows, and then Dudu and I fell together. If the snow below was not thick enough, I might not even be able to come back alive to see you."

"Knocked you down with just one blow?"

Lucius stood up suddenly, pacing back and forth behind the long table, and murmured: "You must have been at least a few hundred meters away from those people at that time. The one who can accurately lock on you and use divine magic immediately The person who attacked is definitely no less powerful than the epic level, Goshawk, could the person who attacked you be some great shaman or something in Tianzhu Mountain?"

The latter shook his head honestly and replied without thinking: "No, although I didn't see clearly who made the attack, I can swear that it was definitely a divine spell, not the elemental spell of those shamans!"

Lucius' eyes narrowed: "Why are you so sure?"

"I once participated in a big war and saw several priests of Dawn Sect using the same magic."

Goshawk immediately gave an answer that could not be faulted at all, and then his face suddenly froze, and he lowered his head in embarrassment: "Sir, although I did fight side by side with the people of the Holy Religion, but that was just..."

Lucius waved his hands a little irritably and said calmly: "I know, that was all before you believed in my Lord. I won't mind it because of this."

"yes."

Goshawk then raised his head again and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Thank you for your tolerance."

Lucius nodded noncommittally, then suddenly stopped and cast two sharp eyes on the goshawk: "Is what you just said true?"

Goshawk was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded vigorously and said loudly: "There are absolutely no lies."

Then

He got a full 1,500 points [Regional World Mission: Holy Mountain Clearance War? 】Contribution.

Personal Contribution: Third Place——2031

Goshawk looked straight at his task panel and swallowed tremblingly, feeling as if he was dreaming.

Lucius thought that the young man in front of him was scared by him, so he quickly squeezed out a slightly stiff smile, nodded to Goshawk with a gentle expression and said: "Don't worry too much, I don't doubt your intentions, it's just this The implications of this matter are too important, so we have to be careful. Okay, you can go down and rest first."

"My lord, I."

Goshawk opened his mouth, but just after saying three words, he was lightly interrupted by Lucius.

"Go and rest. I will send a few more people to investigate the situation over there, if it is true."

Lucius straightened the chair that he had just nearly overturned, and said a little tiredly: "You, the scout with the best air mobility, should work hard and fly to the Whispering City to report the situation to Archbishop Eden. "

"yes!"

Only then did Goshawk look relieved, bowed and saluted Lucius, and quietly sent out a message——

‘Brother Hei Fan, the latest information is that the commander of the cultists should send another group of people to investigate the main peak! ’

‘Copy that, thank you for your hard work, keep in touch anytime. ’

Mo Tan, who was on the opposite side of the message board, replied to a message in seconds, and the response was as fast as an automatic reply.

"Go ahead."

Seeing that Goshawk's mood had calmed down, Lucius raised his chin to indicate that the latter could leave.

two minutes later

"Are the guys Goshawk saw really members of the Holy Religion Union?"

Tom Lestrange appeared quietly behind Lucius and asked his question straight to the point.

The latter did not answer, but just leaned back in his chair and meditated as if he was asleep. After a while, he asked slowly: "What do you think?"

"I don't have any opinion."

Tom shook his head, and then yawned boredly: "I don't know anything about strategies and plans. You have to know, dear Lord Lucius, when a person's power reaches a certain level, those Everything that looks fancy and complicated will become worthless, and I never put any effort into something that is worthless.”

Lucius turned to look at his son coldly and said sternly: "You are too arrogant, son. If you continue like this, you will pay the price for your arrogance sooner or later."

As a result, Tom raised his eyebrows as if he didn't hear Lucius's words, and just asked with a lack of interest: "So do you want to answer my question?"

"As I said just now, being able to use divine magic to hit a goshawk from a hundred meters away requires at least an epic level to be able to do this."

Lucius sighed, lowered his eyes and said, "Coupled with the Veritaserum prepared by you yourself, I am 70% sure that there are indeed people from the Holy Religion Alliance on the main peak of Sumir."

Tom snorted softly: "So what? You must know that there is absolutely no way that the expeditionary force can mobilize manpower under the eyes of the Whispering City. Even if they really send some rotten fish and shrimps to the main peak of Sumir to help, they may not be able to make it happen. They hold that hilltop."

"What matters is not whether they can hold it, kid."

Lucius smiled bitterly and pressed his forehead with bulging veins in frustration: "What matters is the attitude of the expeditionary force of the Holy Religion Alliance. If they really send some of their elites to Sumir, even if it is only a few hundred As human beings, our situation will become very delicate.”

Tom, who really knew nothing about strategy, glanced at Lucius and asked curiously: "For example?"

"For example, when we have made all preparations to launch a large-scale attack on Sumir, we suddenly launch an attack and launch a pincer attack on our main force, which is always active in the front office."

Lucius's eyes almost narrowed into two thin lines when he looked at the sand table in front of him, and he said solemnly: "There are many worse possibilities. In short, no matter what, we must tell the news to Whispering City and let Eden The Archbishop decides.”

"Are you shirking responsibility?"

Tom laughed.

"That's right, it's just shirking responsibility."

Lucius nodded slightly and admitted bluntly: "Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is never a shameful quality. In fact, the Lestrange family is today because we know how to put ourselves in the safest position. place."

"Oh, that's just because 'you' are not strong enough."

Tom smiled contemptuously, turned around and walked into the darkness that suddenly appeared, and disappeared from Lucius's perception in an instant, leaving only a cold sentence.

"Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is just a whitewash for the weak."

"well"

Lucius Lestrange let out a long sigh and murmured: "Maybe you are right, but the problem is that the words 'seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages' are never a compliment, and Why is it whitewashing?"

at the same time

The main peak of the holy mountain Sumir, intimidating the rear of the position

"In most cases, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is a valuable quality."

Mo Tan sat in front of a temporary stone table, drank up the coffee in his hand, and smiled: "But if the information Goshawk gave me is not too flawed, then now, with such valuable quality Mr. Lucius Lestrange is about to embark on a road of no return."

Yi Xuan, who was sitting next to him (using the Seal of Dawn) and acting as a small human body heater, blinked in confusion and asked in a low voice: "But senior, didn't Mr. Goshawk just come into contact with the cultist commander not long ago? He Why do you know so much about the latter?”

"No, Goshawk probably doesn't know him."

Mo Tan shook his head, stretched his body lazily, and then casually threw a black chess piece in his hand on the table.

"But what he briefly described to me was enough to make me feel for Mr. Lucius."
