The old pastor did not answer, but just looked at him, shaking his head and sighing with some disappointment. Young people always like to think of things too simply. "Don't underestimate any opponent. Confidence is an excellent virtue, but blind arrogance
People will suffer a lot."
The paladins lowered their heads under his gaze, but the old man knew that they may not really realize the seriousness of what they were facing, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed - although these little guys have no right to know the secrets of this operation.
, but they obviously still didn't notice some of their deliberate reminders, after all, they were still too young.
However, perhaps it is precisely because of their recklessness that the church chose them as its collaborators - in order to relax the other party's vigilance to some extent, this group of people is just a kind of bait.
But even so, things may still not be that simple. The towering Mage Tower in front of you is enough to give people a headache. Obviously, no one has the so-called 'Mage Tower' mentioned in the intelligence.
Paying more attention to it - what a mage apprentice built in two or three months may be just superficial.
However, the reality is far beyond everyone's imagination.
Even though the priest did not have a deep understanding of arcana, the old priest could already determine at the first glance that the tall tower in front of him was a genuine magical building - under the interference of the layers of magic circles on it, anyone who wanted to monitor that
The whereabouts of the young mage lord are as difficult as going to heaven. As for the church of Bellena...it is indeed very close now. However, this close distance is equivalent to falling into the opponent's territory.
Under surveillance.
And now the location of the temple that I have chosen... is indeed a bit too dazzling, even considering its function as a bait.
But what can be done? There is only one believer in Lansendre in the entire city. In fact, he is closer to a pan-believer. If he hadn't used some divine power to expand the source of his belief, he could
It is simply a dream to dedicate the house at hand and have a surveillance base!
Fortunately, he probably hasn't noticed yet, and the backup plan he prepared has not resolutely driven his group out of the city, so there is still a way...
A knock on the door interrupted the old pastor's thoughts. He raised his head and noticed that the door had been opened and a group of heavily armed soldiers were standing at the door. One of them had already walked in.
The curves of the lady's armor revealed a bit of the secret of her identity, and under the lifted mask, the face revealed was quite young - just like an adult, with short green hair sticking smoothly to her forehead.
But the sharp gaze in her eyes of the same color made her look quite capable.
"I am Theresa Lieutenant of the Burgundy City Urban Management Comprehensive Law Enforcement Brigade...the deputy captain. I have been ordered to come here to warn you about your behavior."
The beauty in uniform raised her pointed chin, as if she was trying her best to show off a condescending air. However, in front of a group of fully armed paladins, this feeling seemed a little too weak: "I'm sorry, but
Your Excellency, priest, have you decided who will leave this building?"
There was a slight silence in the house.
"Miss, your actions have interfered with our freedom of movement, right? If there is no misunderstanding, this city has not exercised a wartime ban, right? Such familiar neighbors, can't they visit each other?" A paladin
He glanced at the old pastor and noticed that the latter had no intention of speaking, so he couldn't help but retort.
But the female warrior—Teresa Hunter Lane, seemed to have been prepared for this.
Squinting her eyes slightly, she glanced at the paladin—all of them—and then spat out a string of fluent words: "Since you have announced that this is not a residence but a temple, then according to Burgundy's rules
, well, the provisions of the regulations on housing occupancy and use...the temple and the residence
Depending on where you live, it belongs to a for-profit public space, and gatherings of more than ten people in a for-profit public space should be regarded as... In short, it is an illegal assembly, so we have the right to ask you to disperse as soon as possible. At least ensure that
The minimum usable space of this building shall prevail.”
"This is simply unheard of! Don't there be more than ten people walking in your streets or squares?" The paladin's face was ashen, but he still argued - as the law enforcers of the gods, they have strict control over the laws and regulations of various places.
They all have a certain level of understanding of the law and are willing to cooperate with various regulations as much as possible.
Of course, that's assuming those regulations don't go against common sense.
"I'm sorry, my explanation just now was not clear enough. Streets and squares are non-profit public spaces with heterogeneous infrastructure. There is no problem of illegal gatherings." The female warrior stared at him with a thoughtful expression, as if she was trying to recall something.
Some memories: "Oh, by the way, in Burgundy, public preaching is prohibited in such public places."
"This is without reason! It's..." Being choked by the watertight regulations, the paladin finally couldn't help raising his voice in anger: "What power do you have to restrict us from spreading the glory of the Lord of the Dawn?
What are you doing..."
"I'm sorry, but the kingdom's laws do not prohibit the local lord from restricting this right, so he has the right to restrict it, sir. My personal suggestion is that you'd better get used to all this, because the rules in this place are so many that it's crazy.
"
The female knight interrupted him coldly, raising her pointed chin high: "Also, I should probably warn you that your behavior is already that... Oh, by the way, this is called obstructing law enforcement.
According to the Public Security Management Punishment Regulations, the Burgundy City Urban Management Comprehensive Law Enforcement Brigade has the power to impose ten, um, no, fifteen days of detention and labor punishment on you! Do you want to plant trees and dig holes or go to the mining area to smash them?
Stone?"
"You!" The paladin's face was ashen, and his hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
"Pfft..." A small chuckle came from the members of the "Burgundy City Urban Management Comprehensive Law Enforcement Brigade" outside the door, breaking the awkward stalemate and making the lady's eyes snap to the guy.
Direction: "...Vice Captain Teresa is so awesome. I can't tell you that half a month ago you were the same one who was punished for planting trees, playing pits and throwing stones..."
"Terry, are you itching? Or do you want to have your salary deducted?"
"Uh, Vice Captain Teresa, don't imitate the lord's trick..."
"Bastard, who would learn from that damn thing... Stand at attention! Watch me deal with you later!" He threw two blows at the guy who dared to cause trouble. The eldest daughter of the Lane family was thinking about whether to punish her immediately.
She looked at this idiot who dared to ruin the serious atmosphere at a critical moment, but then she noticed that the old priest was standing in front of her at some point.
"Miss, thank you for your sincere warning. We will immediately follow your request and let some of your companions stay in the hotel." The smile on the old man's face was gentle and kind, making people feel close to him at first sight.
Feeling: "Please allow me to offer you the blessings of the Lord of the Morning. May a kind heart always be with you in your life."
He opened his palm. A golden ball of light the size of a fist rose from his hand. It slowly flew towards Miss Teresa, making her slightly startled - the light flowed like a liquid, even in the daylight.
It didn't diminish at all, and I don't know if it was some kind of illusion. When the girl squinted her eyes, she looked at her as if she found that the light was actually a living thing - in the golden light, a small humanoid shadow was spreading its wings towards her.
She flew over.
But before she could react, the golden ball of light hit her silently and disappeared from her forehead, and a warm halo immediately shone around her. Her mood seemed to become peaceful at this moment.
Warmth, she blinked her eyes. As if everything just now was just an illusion.
"Well, you're welcome, Your Excellency the priest." After a pause, the girl responded. Her tone became much gentler without realizing it.
"Ah. I'm not being polite. Since our temple is built here, there may be many things that need to be communicated with you in the future... Oh, it's called the City Management Brigade, right? I have to communicate with you, so I may need to
I would like to rely on the help of enthusiastic young people like you." The old man said kindly.
Smiling: "Well, we will soon make the number of people in this room meet the standard. However, I think we may have some things to trouble you. Oh, first of all, I want to meet your commander. You know,
Paladins always like to work closely with the guards of a place..."
Behind the old man and the young female warrior, the paladins looked at each other, then lowered their heads and followed them out of the door tacitly.
Several of them already knew that there was no need to say anything more now, because they recognized the light ball - a kind of celestial creature, the so-called holy light envoy, and what the old man just used was naturally not an ordinary one.
Blessing...
…
"Let's see what other tricks these Lansendre's slaves can come up with this time!"
A few dozen feet away, on top of Edward's magic tower, Miss Lisa was holding her belly and giggling non-stop: "Well, haha, illegal gatherings are not allowed... Haha, those guys look like they have eaten something on their faces.
That dirty expression made me laugh so hard! Edward, you have a way, this is such a great idea! No matter whose church it is in the future, don’t even think about spreading their fallacies in Burgundy!"
"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple, Miss Lisa. If the opponent's purpose is simply to expand the diocese, it will certainly be effective for them. I'm just afraid that their purpose is more than that." Anna Sui shook her head and said,
Then she glanced at the psychic who was deep in thought on her seat. She lowered her head and showed a rare hint of fear: "I'm sorry, Lord City Lord, I didn't even see this thing when I patrolled the city this morning.
This is my negligence, I..."
"Forget it, it's going to rain and my mother is getting married. I can't help it..." Edward woke up from his little meditation and waved his hand: "If you apologize again, it won't be like you. You never take responsibility.
What’s the responsibility?”
As expected, this answer turned the staff lady's guilt into an angry snort, but the half-elf quickly stopped her from thinking about counterattack: "Anna Sui, you mean, they don't just plan to preach, there are other things.
Purpose?"
"There are a large number of believers in the God of Dawn. Generally speaking, they rarely care about the construction of temples in a new city. Moreover, according to the general configuration, a small temple, a priest and three to five paladins are already the most suitable
It's high-end, twelve... too many." Anna Sui frowned.
Light gray brow: "Since they have other purposes, even if they can only leave one or two people, they will still continue to stay in the city. Lord, you'd better take some precautions against these people, because Lansen
Although the followers of Del uphold justice, their actions are somewhat...crazy."
"That's not madness. It's just paranoia..." Edward sneered and corrected: "It seems that these middle school idiots are determined to cause trouble with me... The local church? Humph, that old guy's
The ability can at least cast seven or eight levels of divine magic! If such a person is sent to my small town to open a new temple, then it would be really strange that Chen Xi has not become the leader of the gods yet!"
In fact, if it were other churches, Edward could also adopt the strategy of turning a blind eye, but the problem now is that it is Chenxi.
Lansendre and Bellena, one is called Dawn and the other is called Darkness, and it is natural that they dislike each other. This is not only determined by the names, but also by the opposition between the rules, but it is different from the world that Edward knows.
, War of faith is already a behavior that is not recommended in this world. Generally speaking, there are few missionary activities between churches that trigger large-scale armed conflicts.
Of course, it's not because the world is peaceful and peaceful, it's just that those so-called evil god believers have been suppressed throughout the world and can only be scattered underground. Even if the remaining god believers don't like each other, as long as they are not suppressed
If you grasp the handle, there won't be any big conflicts.
The priests of Lansendre knew that Edward was involved in the royal power, although many believers of the God of Dawn should have seen him teleporting part of it out of order that time in the capital of the empire.
, However, obviously the rough method did not dispel their suspicions.
Coming to the door at this time may not mean that you really intend to cause trouble, but you are just leaving a surveillance method, right?
But the problem is that Edward's territory is really a "place of filth and evil." Even if we don't mention the prison of "enemy of the gods" on his body, there is only one follower of Rose in the mage tower.
Things are enough to cause trouble. If there are more of these people, I will have to cover up many things, including training killers, weapons produced, etc.
But if you want to do everything possible to drive away these guys... then you are basically claiming that "I have ulterior secrets here", and more strange things will definitely come here in the future.
"Hey, Edward, I know I'm paranoid, but what do you mean by second grade?"
"Well, that is to say, caring too much about an ideal goal, desperately trying to achieve it, but not caring whether it is reasonable or not. Just like they say, where the morning light is, all shadows are invisible... Ha,
Without shadows, how do you define the existence of light?"
"Hey, Edward, what you said is so good. There is no shadow, and the existence of light cannot be defined... Well, I should talk to the lady and ask her to add this sentence to the canon!" Miss Half-Elf was surprised.
His eyes widened, and then he clapped his hands: "Say Edward, why don't you believe in Her Majesty Bellena? If you become her believer, you will definitely become the pope of the sect!"
However, the psychic obviously had no interest in paying attention to her whims.
"Yes." Ms. Staff "The first batch of half-elf immigrants from Gushan City have arrived. The food you replenished before is enough for the city's daily expenses until next summer. However, according to our construction capabilities, after that
In the next three months, the house will be in a state of considerable tension. Now that the weather has begun to turn cold, temporary shelters such as tents cannot last long.
In addition, the group of soldiers brought back by Miss Leia and the soldiers you recruited from Camino have elected a representative and requested to interview you three times. I refused him in accordance with your instructions, but he seems to have begun to
