scepter

A week later, Bishop Michel received the silver-haired bishop who had just recovered from a serious injury.

The latter expressed his deep gratitude to him, and then said that he wanted to leave the capital and travel to other cities.

Bishop Michel expressed appropriate surprise and made a hypocritical attempt to persuade him to stay.

Because even Bart and Beck, who were following Yannick, could see his insincerity.

In fact, Yannick can also understand Bishop Michel.

As a bishop who does not seek to make progress but only wants to enjoy himself, suddenly a colleague came to visit him, which brought him a lot of trouble, and may even affect the impression of his superiors. Even if he doesn’t say anything, he will definitely complain in his heart This colleague.

But it’s all about understanding. Yannick didn’t take the initiative to toss all this. If it wasn’t for Richard Dilkin’s challenge, he wouldn’t have to fight it, and if it wasn’t for the Pope’s one-year condition, he wouldn’t have to. Countries are now running around.

So in the final analysis, everything is the fault of that old man the Pope.

Seeing Bishop Michel's smile getting more and more reluctant, Yannick didn't waste any more time, and asked Bart to present a beautiful silk bag. The heavy touch almost caused the knight behind Bishop Michel to drop to the ground.

"Your Excellency...!" The knight immediately knew that there must be gold coins inside, and it was conservatively estimated that there were more than five hundred.

Seeing his performance, Bishop Michel understood a little bit, and he pretended to be surprised: "Bishop Hill, what's in there?"

Yannick smiled and said, "I feel deeply disturbed for disturbing you for such a long time. The one thousand gold coins inside can only express my apology to you."

A thousand gold coins?Bishop Michel was really surprised now, he didn't expect Yannick to be so generous, even for a bishop who spends all day with nobles who spend money like water, a thousand gold coins is not a small amount.

"Ah, no, I can't take it, it's too much! You spent less than a hundred gold coins during your stay in the capital!"

"Please be sure to accept it." Yannick insisted, "I have caused you a lot of trouble during this time, and I have also made you worry. Even these gold coins are not enough to show my gratitude to you. One-tenth!"

He can really talk, as if it would be a crime not to accept it.Bishop Michel thought to himself, and the smile on his face became more sincere: "You are so polite, how can the friendship between us be measured by gold coins?"

It is typical to be good-looking when you get cheap.

Yannick said with a smile: "The friendship between me and you is as tough and long-lasting as the ambriza tree, isn't it?"

"Yes, your analogy is too correct!"

Bishop Michelle glanced at him, and the two laughed heartily.

Yannick said: "There is one more thing, I might ask for your help. During the few days I stayed in the capital, I heard that the frontline war against the undead was very difficult, so I allocated [-] yuan from the budget of our clergy. The gold coins will be donated to the families of the casualties of the seven countries on the mainland and the civilians affected by the war to express the relief of the Holy See for them. This part of the Principality of Mecklen may have to ask you to help me transfer it to His Excellency the Grand Duke."

Bishop Michel was taken aback, thinking that he had heard that the church of the Garter Empire was very rich, and it was indeed true. This Yannick Hill has not been in office for less than a month, and he suddenly took out [-] Gold coins come, it really is a big deal!

He didn't think about the gambling game, after all, no normal person would think that the priest would collude with the mage.

"Is [-] gold coins too much?" He thought for a while, and decided to kindly mention this new bishop who didn't care about the importance. If he spends so much money all at once, the countries will only regard him as a fat sheep and slaughter him. .

"There are seven countries, and it's not too much to be assigned to each country." Yannick moved closer and smiled bitterly: "I think you also know that I came here with a mission. If you can't let His Majesty the Pope Satisfied, I am afraid that after a year I will be replaced by someone else as the bishop, in comparison, if I can spend money to buy some fame, it is nothing!"

After hearing what he said, Bishop Michel also sympathized: "To be honest, I think you are competent enough, and His Majesty the Pope is too harsh on you!"

Anyway, it doesn't cost money to say something nice, with that thousand gold coins, Bishop Michelle lost the reluctant face before, and his attitude towards Yannick returned to the intimacy and naturalness at the beginning, those who didn't know thought that The two are long lost brothers.

Yannick smiled: "It is our honor to be able to share the worries and problems of His Majesty the Pope. We will leave the capital soon, but I hope that the donation will be known to all countries as soon as possible, so that every time we go to a country, we can pass the gold coins Hand it over to their government, and His Majesty the Pope can also know what we have done for the Holy See, I hope this matter can get your help."

To put it bluntly, he asked Bishop Michel to help him publicize and create a good reputation for the Priests of the Garter Empire.

Taking people's money and doing things for them, Bishop Michelle has very professional ethics and readily agreed: "Of course, don't worry, I will take care of this matter and make sure you are satisfied!"

Bart, who was standing behind Yannick, looked at Bishop Michel's unique skill of changing his face, and he looked down on him a little bit, but he also knew that most of the nobles and even the priests of Mecklen had this kind of virtue, so he couldn't help but sighed secretly, feeling more and more hopeful. I admire Your Excellency for donating money to help civilians.

Maybe His Excellency Hill is right, if you want to achieve lofty ideals and great goals, you must overcome these troubles on the way forward step by step, and these can not be solved only by magic or martial arts.

Coming out of Bishop Michel, Yannick immediately returned to the post house, announcing that they were about to leave the capital for Reed Flute City.

Reed Flute City is the city of Mecklen. After the fall of Tumaco City, Reed Flute City became the front line of Mecklen against the undead army. The news came back recently that the battle on the front line has improved. The chief of the city-state commanded properly, and many of the undead that had rushed over from Tumaco City had been wiped out.

As we all know, there is no human cost for monsters to attack human cities, because those undead were once normal humans.

However, now the army of undead has attracted the attention of all countries. With the outbreak of the Black Death being strictly prevented and the public's awareness of vigilance is also strong, the number of people who become undead after being infected with the Black Death is gradually decreasing. It seems that monsters can no longer More undead are provided, and the offensives in various places are gradually slowing down. If this trend continues, humans may soon be able to regain those fallen cities.

The monster that was captured before was under the joint control of the Holy See and the Magic Guild under the negotiation. People put their ardent hopes on these priests and mages who have mastered most of the power and power of human beings. The way to restore peace to Olin Continent as soon as possible.

Yannick knew that with such a small group of people, it was not enough to go to the front line to support the war. Although Ai Fuli and the others were high-ranking priests, they had been staying in the Central Holy See for a long time and had no war experience at all. If they were accidentally on the front line If it is consumed, the group of priests he has painstakingly cultivated will be destroyed.

Due to the Pope's previous instructions, Yannick couldn't blatantly disobey his orders, so after careful consideration, he chose the city of Reed Flute, which was not too dangerous and could give Avery and the others a chance to exercise.

And it's not far from Reed Flute City, which is the elf territory he's going to this time.

Everyone had no objection to Yannick's arrangement, even Priest Darwin, encouraged by the bonus, only muttered a few words in his heart.

Bishop Michel was really interesting. As Yannick and the others left the capital and went to Reed Flute City, the news that the Priests of the Garter Empire would donate to various countries for the pension of the frontline soldiers and civilians soon spread from Mecklen, and The first batch of three thousand gold coins has been donated to the Archduke of Mecklen by Bishop Michel.

While the emperors and grand dukes of various countries praised the wisdom and kindness of the bishops of the Garter Empire, they couldn't help secretly marveling at the richness of the Church of the Garter Empire. It's a pity that the Holy See itself is too powerful to allow them to search for it, otherwise the countries would really be jealous of this piece of fat.

Compared with the minds of the nobles, the mood of the common people of various countries is much simpler, especially those who have experienced front-line wars and have loved ones sacrificed in it. Everyone praises and appreciates the benevolence of Bishop Hill and even the Holy See.

Of course, there are also some people who think that the bishop is trying to gain a good reputation, but these views do not affect the image that Yannick Hill and his priests have gradually established among the common people, and there are even bards soon. Poets began to write Yannick into poems and sang them in the mainland.

Silver hair like a stream sparkling in the moonlight,

Even if no petals fall,

It also never stops blooming stunningly.

Your spring never fades,

Like the best dream of our life,

God's gift sent you to us,

Francis, the god of sunlight, reappears in the world.

When you are immortal with time in poetry,

We will remember your name,

Forever--

Yannick Hill.

This beautifully worded poem quickly spread across the mainland and became the most popular poem. Many people liked its catchy chant, and more people were very curious about the protagonist depicted in the poem, which made Ya Before Nick and the others began to visit other countries, his reputation had spread far and wide.

But now this kind of reputation that is far more curious about his appearance than about his achievements is not good for Yannick for the time being. Taking the newly-acquired maid Amy back to the Imperial Capital of Garter, the two groups parted ways.

Mecklen is a relatively small principality. Unlike the Garter Empire, almost every city in the country has set up magic teleportation circles. However, if you start from the capital by horse-drawn carriage, you can reach Lu in half a month. flute city.

When Yannick and the others were approaching Reed Die City, the convoy quietly divided into two groups. The large force continued to march towards Reed Die City, while a one-man carriage left the team and headed northwest.

Yannick originally wanted to go to Reed Flute City with them before breaking up, but it would be inconvenient to get away, and Avery and the others would have to go through the wind and rain on their own, and the excuses they would need had already been figured out Well, let’s just say that Yannick encountered an important matter in the middle, and it took a few days to delay his arrival. As for Priest Darwin, Avery and the others never let him know that the bishop was going to the elf territory, or he would have to think about it at that time. What a crooked idea.

The elves' territory lives in a corner of the mainland. Even though it borders the Principality of Mecklen, there is still a large dense forest in between. This dense forest is regarded by the elves as a protective forest for the elves, and it is also their most important line of defense.

The dense forest covers a vast area, with tall trees rising one after another, making it easy for people to lose their way. Although it is not as dangerous as the dark forest, it will be trapped in place if you are not careful. Human hunters living nearby sometimes hunt here for greed. The rare animals left the edge rashly and went deep into the dense forest, but they couldn't get out, and finally starved to death.

Of course, for mages or priests, this kind of thing is unlikely to happen. They have enough magic and props to identify the direction, but the deeper they go, the easier it is to trigger the various traps left by the elves. It is also difficult for priests to guarantee their own safety.

Since hunting elves in the Holy See has become a trend, the elves have used many methods to prevent humans from coming here. It is said that they have specially set up traps for light magic to deal with the people of the Holy See.

Therefore, Yannick did not dare to be careless after entering the dense forest through the guidance of the local residents. Driving those potentially dangerous traps, coupled with the direction scroll used by Yannick, one person and one cat went around in the dense forest. After walking for a day, it seemed that they didn't go far, but in fact they had avoided a lot. trap.

"Meow."

The little black cat standing on his shoulder raised one of its front paws and pointed to the southeast, signaling Yannick to go there.

Yannick complained as he walked: "Why do I feel that the direction you are pointing is getting more and more remote, are you sure you are not mistaken?"

"Meow~" The kitten straightened up and patted Yannick's silver hair with its front paws to express comfort.

Yannick Black Line: "Don't touch me with your unwashed paws just after peeing."

The little black cat withdrew its paws, licked it carefully, and then directly printed on the priest's side face, the wet touch immediately made the priest's face black. "Do you want me to have an excuse to throw you down?"

Lose me and you're lost, my dear.The emerald green cat's eyes clearly expressed the teasing, and it moved the cat's face closer, its fluffy head buried in the silver hair on Yannick's neck, rubbing vigorously.

"..." Well, it's finally a cat face, not a human face, I'll bear it.

Yannick twitched the corner of his mouth, and used his staff to push away the grass in front of him. The sound of his footsteps alarmed the red striped snake in the grass, which scrambled away and quickly disappeared into the jungle.

Yannick frowned and stopped.

"Are you sure this direction is correct? How do I remember that the divination book said that the place where the reticulated snake appears indicates that some unpredictable things will happen?"

"Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow?" You know it is unpredictable, so how would I know?

"..." Yannick swore that he actually read the contempt in the eyes of a cat. "Well, I wanted to give you your favorite canned virgin blood mixed with lime blossom for dinner, but now it seems that you can save a lot of money."

The black cat immediately shut up.

After walking dozens of steps, Yannick finally realized that something was wrong.

Because it gradually spread from the soles of his feet upwards, gradually his whole body felt an inexplicable temperature rise.
