scepter

Although they are both earth mages, Mudd Fan is obviously more than one level higher than Aphra. When Aphra can only use elementary magic related to the earth element, Mudd Fan has already been able to transform Use plants as weapons.

It's just that Yannick, who is the target, doesn't feel so good.

Although the plants that entangled him had no thorns and were not violent - the other party just wanted to keep him, but this feeling of being controlled by others, I believe no one would like it.

Sophia reacted quickly, she drew out her saber and slashed at the green vines entangled the priest, but her wrist was immediately entangled by another green vine.

"Vandelini Gabila, I am the only daughter of Earl Marin, and I will inherit the title in the future. How dare you be so rude to me!" Sophia yelled, staring at the priest.

"I'm sorry," although Mudd Fan said apologetically, but he didn't hear any sincerity. "I have to do this. The importance of priests to us is beyond doubt. Any mage here is my companion. I cannot lose them."

"Your Excellency Fan!"

"Your Excellency Fan!"

The mage next to him heard these words, and was immediately moved to tears.

"..." This guy's tricks to buy people's hearts are no worse than him.If it wasn't for this occasion, Yannick would definitely feel like he was meeting his opponent, but now, he just wanted to punch the mage in the face.

However, doing so obviously goes against the image he has painstakingly created, so His Excellency the priest is still polite and personable, maintaining a posture entangled by four green vines, calmly defending himself: "There are still many magic potions , even if a mage or swordsman is injured by the undead, the potion can still have enough time to suppress the disease until I come back."

Unexpectedly, the other party actually replied: "Whether you can come back or not, no one can guarantee that."

Is this cursing him?Yannick almost couldn't keep his composure on his face. Sophia was jumping in anger. It seemed that she really wanted to punch Master Fan, and she really did.

With a bang, everyone watched in amazement Master Fan was punched to the corner of his mouth by Sophia's other free hand, and took a few steps back.

"You crazy woman!" The mage next to him quickly supported Mu De Fan and accused Sophia.

here you go!The priest admired in his heart, and said with a serious face: "Sophia, is there anything we can sit down and talk about, why resort to violence, it will make you lose your ladylike demeanor!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, the fist didn't work just now, I think it's out of my will, I'll take care of it." Sophia blinked with an innocent look on her face.

"It's okay, but since you can't control your body and behavior, I have to do this." Mu De Fan put down his hand, a piece of his mouth was broken, and the image of a genius mage was instantly a little embarrassed.

He stopped talking nonsense with Sophia, and directly put a holding spell on her, and asked someone to take her directly to the city hall.

As for the priest, he glanced at Yannick, "You don't seem to be very worried about what I will do to you?"

Yannick raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you keep me here to heal the mages?"

Mu De Fan smiled: "Yes, you are a smart person, you should not do stupid things, I will undo the spell imprisonment, but I hope you stay here well, we need a communication opportunity."

Yannick heard his overtones, this guy didn't keep him here just to heal the mage. "I don't think we have anything to talk about."

"It's not appropriate to draw conclusions too early. Maybe you will change your mind later." Mude Fan patted him on the shoulder, turned his head and said to the others, "I will personally send the priest to the city hall, you can still hold on for a while?"

"Of course, sir, we will do as you order."

"thank you very much."

Mulder Fan untied the green vines wrapped around him, but Yannick believed that he still had a way to immobilize himself at any time, so he didn't bother thinking about how to escape from him.

The two came to a small conference room next to the city hall. The city hall is now in a mess, and many evacuated civilians have flocked there, and they are lining up to go to the city of San Mar through the secret underground passage. The city lord Tina Sri Lanka sent out some soldiers to preside over the order there.

La Serena has a teleportation magic circle, which can directly lead to the imperial capital.But it is impossible for the magic circle to receive so many people at once. If the civilians want to pass through the magic circle in batches, it is better to go through the secret passage faster. Secondly, even if the magic circle can accommodate the entire La Serena civilians, such a large number People flocking to the imperial capital all of a sudden will also bring great panic to the latter.

"Okay, now we can have a good talk." Mude Fan made a gesture of invitation, and Yannick sat down unceremoniously.

Mu De Fan closed the door of the conference hall smoothly, blocking all the noise outside, and then said: "Maybe I should show my sincerity first, I assume you don't know our next arrangement?"

"Yes, I don't know what great arrangements you have." The priest raised his eyebrows.

"Dear Priest, maybe I can call you by your name, which is more kind? Well, Priest Yannick, you don't have to feel resentful. After all, we each have our own positions before. My words and deeds may be a little bit to you. Disrespectful, but as a mage, I am blameless, don't you think so?" The young genius mage seemed very patient, and what he showed was calm and calm, which was completely opposite to his age.

"Yes." Yannick crossed his legs, clasped his hands on his knees, and made a gesture of listening attentively to see what the other party wanted to say.

"We are ready to give up on La Serena." Mud Fan said, "The undead have already started attacking from the two city gates, the gap is too big, and there are too few defensive and offensive forces here, even if all mages With the exhaustion of magic power, La Serena can only fall, so before you asked Tines to evacuate the civilians, I agree very much, the civilians are the foundation of the city, without them, the city has no meaning of existence .”

"You're right." Yannick nodded and commented pertinently.

"I am very glad to have your approval." Mude Fan smiled, "After that, we will let the remaining mages and swordsmen gradually retreat from the two sides to the middle, and finally gather at the city hall, and then pass the secret Passage, go to Saint-Mar City first."

"Why not use a magic teleportation array?" Yannick asked.

"In theory, the magic circle is a two-way channel. It may be very convenient, but if we go to another place through it, even if we destroy the exit of the destination, there is no way to prevent the undead from entering through the entrance of the magic circle. They are very likely to be sent to places beyond our control, causing even greater disasters. And until now, no one knows where these undead come from and what purpose they have - if someone manipulates them behind the scenes, if If this person happens to be familiar with the magic circle, the consequences will be disastrous."

As expected of a student of the Fasheng, a talented mage with a bright future, Mude Fan's explanation was easy to understand, and Yannick understood it right away.

Yannick: "Thank you very much for your answer, but I don't understand. What's your purpose for saying so much?"

Mude Fan: "I heard that you have a good relationship with that Master Chris?"

Yannick: "My answer is yes, or no, it doesn't seem to have any effect on your next words?"

Mulder Fan spread his hands: "Priest Yannick, you don't have to be so wary of me. I am not malicious. I also know a little about the identity of Mage Chris. Please allow me to ask abruptly, although your hand You wear a bishop's ring, but you are not a bishop, are you?"

Yannick raised his eyebrows: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago, of course I'm not a bishop, it's just a toy, I'm just a low-level priest."

Mu De Fan laughed: "Well, whether the ring is true or not, I think I still have this insight, don't worry, I'm not going to report you to the Holy See, I just feel sorry, you obviously own the Principality of Santos The legal status of the bishop, but now he can only wander around, don't you want to get back your own position in the past?"

Yannick narrowed his eyes: "Have you investigated me?"

Mu De Fan said calmly: "Your identity is not a secret, and if you want to hide it, you should even change your name and appearance."

"So, you've come full circle, and I still don't understand what you're trying to convey."

"What I want to express is," Mulder Fan paused, "so, we can definitely establish a long-term and stable cooperative relationship."

Yannick said: "I'm just a penniless priest, and you are a student of the Sage of Law, the pride of the mage world. There is no intersection between us."

Mu De Fan didn't care about his refusal, "Of course, please allow me to explain the reasons in detail."

"please say."

"First of all, I don't hate priests, and you have no prejudice against mages. Of course, this is very wise. I believe you should have a general understanding of the long-term confrontation between mages and priests on Olin Continent. Their mutual hatred and misunderstanding It is so deep that it is very difficult to resolve the conflict, but if it can be achieved, it will be beneficial to neither party."

"Secondly, with all due respect, your current situation is not optimistic. Once you put on the bishop's ring, you can't take it off. As long as it is in your hands for a day, the priests of Santos will not be able to get the bishop's position justifiably, and they will treat you For the sake of hindrance, I can help you become the bishop of Santos, or even a higher position."

"So, since we're both sensible and calm smart people, why not start working together now?"

"I don't understand one thing." Yannick took a good rest, "Since it's cooperation, everyone must get what they need, but you don't seem to have said anything, what can you get from me?"

Mu De Fan was silent for a long time before he said: "Perhaps you also feel that from the Black Death to the present army of undead, the timing of their appearance is so strange that one has to suspect that all of this has something to do with monsters."

"I remember that more than 1000 years ago, the monsters had been completely killed, and the passage to the plane had been closed." Yannick thought of the high-level monster attached to Azul, but he felt that there was no need to follow up with this kind of thing. Mulder Fan said that after all, they are still in the stage of testing each other, and they can't even talk about allies.

Mulder Fan did not hide it: "Yes, it should be so, but when I passed by the Principality of Santos a month ago, I found traces of high-level monsters there. You know, high-level monsters have intelligence not inferior to humans. , They are cunning and treacherous, they are good at disguising, and they are also very capable, so they are not so easy to be caught."

Yannick: "You mean, the Black Death and the undead are all controlled by high-level monsters?"

Mulder Fan: "Yes, I assume that in the near future, maybe in our lifetime, a bigger war will break out between humans and monsters. This time, without the blessing of the gods, the advantages of humans will be further reduced. If at this time, the mage and the Holy See are still intriguing for each other's interests, waiting for the only ending for mankind is death and extinction."

"This speculation sounds reasonable." The silver-haired priest smiled, "I assume that you want to eliminate the hatred between the Holy See and the mages, and let them cooperate with each other to fight against monsters. This dream is very great, and I am in awe. But you still seem to have found the wrong person, let me remind you, I am just a low-level priest who is excluded by others, and I really can't help you much."

"Don't rush to refuse, dear Priest Yannick." The blue-robed mage tapped the ground with his staff, and a translucent figure suspended in mid-air appeared between the two of them.

The other party has white hair, wearing a scarlet cloak that hangs long to the ground, holding a silver scepter studded with gems in his hand, and a three-dimensional sun emblem on the top of the scepter. There is another semi-arc in the middle of the coat of arms, which symbolizes that the sun and the moon rise at the same time, which is exactly the same as the pattern of the ring on Yannick's hand.

As the image gradually took shape, the other party slowly turned around. It was a very kind face with a gentle and tolerant smile on it, as if looking at them through the void. Can make people feel warm.

Compared with him, Yannick felt that his self-satisfied smile, which he practiced in front of the mirror before, was simply scum.

Even though he had never seen this person with his own eyes, he couldn't help but spit out the identity of the other person: "The Pope?"

"Yes." The blue-robed mage's staff tapped again, and the image instantly turned into dots and dissipated in the air. "He is the supreme symbol of the Holy See, the embodiment of light, leading you and mastering the spiritual beliefs of the vast majority of people on this continent."

"My teacher, His Excellency Simon Fasheng, is a very far-sighted wise man. He is also dissatisfied with the contradictions and confrontations between the Holy See and the Master, and hopes to find a way to resolve it. However, many years ago, when he proposed this idea to the Holy See At the time, it was rejected by the Holy See."

"If a house exists for many years without timely repairs, it will only slowly decay. The same is true for people and systems. Those with vested interests who have already enjoyed the splendor and wealth in the Holy See will not produce any reforms. Therefore, I am not as naive as the teacher, and I will no longer rely on the response of the Holy See."

Staring into the eyes of the priest, the blue-robed mage slowly said: "I will choose the person I like, cooperate with him, and let us carry out the reform! A great, epoch-making reform that has never been seen before!"

The author has something to say: Although this chapter is a dialogue, the content is more important, because Mulder is a relatively important character, so I spent a lot of ink to shape him, and later he will occupy an important position in the protagonist's role , but he is not attacking.
