Chapter 191: The Heart of Winter
On the street, people are coming and going.
The finals have entered the final stage, and the entire Pelican Town has never been fuller.
Ta-ta-ta-
The staff of light fell gently to the ground, leading the priest through the crowd.
The holy wafer has a smile on his face and smiles back to everyone who pays homage to him.
Above the heads, the sun was shining softly, and people slowly took off their winter clothes and began to put on lighter clothes.
only……
Such a crowded street is indeed not very suitable for restoring the magic power of light.
The holy wafer greeted the visitors and walked toward the east side of the town.
Soon, he left Pelican Town and came to the path leading to the Shining Forest.
He stood on this empty plain, looking at the forest in the distance that had gradually faded away from its silver-white decoration, and took a deep breath.
He inserted the staff of light into the soil in front of him, opened his hands, and fully felt the light falling from the sky.
Closing his eyes, he could clearly feel that the land was slowly recovering. The light element contained in the air was also rising continuously, and his body, which had been exhausted due to the lack of magic elements during this period, was also slowly recovering.
It's just that the speed of recovery may be really slow... I guess it may only be enough to survive the last two finals, right?
Thinking about it carefully, Holy Waffle couldn't help but feel funny about his behavior.
The reason why I stayed in Mermaid Song was to restore the magic power in my body as much as possible so that I could continue my journey after the winter.
But after struggling like this for a winter, my magic power has not recovered much at all, but it seems to be even more lacking.
So, was he being exploited by that little girl Ariel without knowing it?
Thinking of Ariel, without realizing it, Holy Waffle began to think of his daughter again in his mind.
If this child were still alive today, where would she be? What would she be doing now?
In this cold winter, is she living a fulfilling life? Or is she sitting in front of the fire with people who care about her, keeping her body warm and eating sumptuous food?
Or, is she already married? Has she already established a happy little family of her own? Has her old father become a grandfather without knowing it?
Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Holy Bread's mouth couldn't help but become more intense. He took a deep breath, opened his arms wider, raised his head to face the sun, and let the warm light shine more on himself...
"The ghost tree in the mausoleum!"
A familiar voice sounded, causing the Holy Bread to open its eyes suddenly!
But before he could open his mouth to recite the defensive spell, some dry and dirty black branches sprang out from the soles of his feet at this moment, tied up his body, and even directly used a huge
The burl was stuffed into the mouth of the holy wafer, preventing him from saying a single word!
The holy wafer, whose magic power had not been restored much, could not move. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the person standing in front of him who had just finished casting the spell——
Sophora lin·Xinyu.
The forest mage held a staff in his hand, and his upper body was naked, but the lower body of his entire body was made up of many branches intertwined to form four legs, allowing him to stand there like a four-legged animal.
Seeing that he hit the target in one breath, a smile appeared on Huai Lin's face. This smile touched his broken skin, which was really scary to see.
"Well done, Huailin."
Another voice sounded, and the holy wafer could only turn his eyes and saw three other people slowly gathering from all around.
The leading person was none other than the guard who came to Mermaid Song and asked to see Airl, standing next to Viscount Norris. Now the holy wafer also knows his name.
Crowbar Unbeliever was holding his chest, his face looked a little pale, and his steps seemed to be limping as he walked over, as if he was seriously injured.
Look at the other two members, they are both seriously injured now.
But even so, when Holy Bread wanted to struggle, Huai Lin still raised the vine staff in his hand and wrapped it around him tighter, so that he could not utter a single word.
"The damn mermaid song... really caused us a lot of trouble!"
Crowbar walked to the holy wafer and pulled out the staff in front of him.
The staff of light was held in the hands of others, and the light that originally emitted from the head dimmed immediately.
"Oh, it is indeed a weapon made by the Holy See of Light, but it still has the power to recognize its master?"
Crowbar snorted coldly, weighed the staff in his palm, and then handed it to the follower behind him.
Huai Lin walked forward slowly, looking fiercely at the holy wafer that was now unable to move, and opened the corners of his mouth to reveal a smile, which touched the spider web-like wound on his face, making him look even more terrifying: "President,
Do you want... to kill him now? If there are no accidents, he is the strongest existence in Mermaid Song. If you kill him, Mermaid Song will be no different from a puddle of mud."
The crowbar made two sounds, and he looked up and down at the holy wafer in front of him, with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes!
However, this murderous intention only lasted for a short while. Soon, he waved his hand and said: "Although I really want to, Viscount Norris does not want to be hostile to the Holy See of Light. If the Holy See of Light is allowed to
Knowing that one of their high priests died in our hands, do you think His Excellency the Viscount will reward us? Or cut us up directly, tie us up and hand them over to the Holy See of Light?"
After being told this, Huai Lin realized what a bad idea he had come up with, so he could only shut up and step aside without speaking.
After calling away his men, Crowbar stepped forward again, looked at the holy wafer with a smile on his face, and said slowly——
"Your Majesty the High Priest, please forgive our brothers for what they did before. To be honest, we really have no intention of being hostile to the Holy See of Light. Therefore, we will never harm you at all."
The holy wafer's eyes widened, and there was anger in his eyes as he looked at the crowbar.
"The goal of us and our master is always to make money. As long as we can make good money, we are not interested in things like human life at all. We also investigated before this operation against you, and only after understanding it did we know that you are not
Belonging to the official guild members of Mermaid Song, they are just temporary residents in their guild name. It is precisely because of this that we have no choice but to ask you to stand here and listen to us quietly."
Crowbar's expression looked very respectful. If you look closely, you can see that apart from being full of flattery, there is indeed no disrespect at all.
After nodding and bowing to the holy wafer with this smile, he continued -
"Your Majesty the High Priest, our master wants to make little money from Mermaid Song, and at the same time, he also wants to take the name of 'Guild War' under his own name. For this reason, this Guild War in Pelican Town is
It can never end perfectly, there must be a big mess as the final ending."
"Our member Huai Lin told me that the main reason why Mermaid Song can ensure that there will be no casualties in the guild war is the defensive magic from the high priest. In other words, as long as there is no magic from the high priest,
'Saint's Grace', then Mermaid Song will definitely fail in the next two games. After there are casualties in tomorrow night's game, in the last game, either Mermaid Song will completely ignore the consequences and use big money to invite both guilds to continue.
Fight, or declare it over."
"No matter which one of them it is, the Mermaid Song will definitely hurt the vitality. If there are casualties in both guilds, they will redirect their anger to the Mermaid Song. For us Killer Bee, these two guilds have problems.
This is also what we are happy to see.”
"Therefore, we are thinking of making the High Priest temporarily unable to use magic to achieve this goal. Considering that the High Priest has used so much light magic before, and the weather is so good today, there is a high possibility that you will leave the town.
, we followed you. Fortunately, you came out alone as I predicted."
The holy wafer's mouth was gagged and he could not express any opinions at all. But Crowbar knew exactly what he was talking about. He nodded and said with a smile: "I know, I know exactly what I am talking about. And the high priest
I can probably guess pretty much what you are thinking. You must be thinking, why should you help us? And if we treat you like this now, aren't we afraid of being criticized by the Holy See of Light in the future?"
As he spoke, Crowbar smiled and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Afraid, we are really scared. We are just a small guild in Lagoon City. Even if we have a good relationship with the Viscount, it is impossible for the Viscount to resist for us.
Let’s talk about the issue of the Holy See of Light~~~”
Putting down his hands, Crowbar's face was filled with a dangerously flattering smile: "So, we want to make a deal with the High Priest..."
"As long as you do a little research on the High Priest, you will know that the High Priest has been looking for his daughter who was separated in the first border war these years, right? Well, this is indeed easy, after all, every high priest of the Holy See of Light
They all need to disclose all their personal pasts to express their purity and piety to every believer. And for so many years, the high priest has been running around the country, inquiring about the situation of a red-haired girl. To find out these
Come, it’s not difficult.”
"So...if we are willing to provide the High Priest with clues about your daughter...are you willing to make this deal with us?"
In an instant, the holy wafer's originally angry eyes turned to surprise!
The body that had been trying to struggle stopped at this moment, and just stared blankly at the four people in front of it.
Chapter completed!
