[Chapter 294: Heading to the Capital of Tilan Again]
The missionary Raines from the Temple has been in Winter City for quite a while, but his mission has made almost no progress.
No matter how hard he tries, he can’t develop a large number of believers in this strange place, Winter City. He has tried his best and used all means, but there are only three people who are willing to become believers of the Temple… That’s right, he finally developed a few believers, but two of them ran away because there was no progress for a long time.
Raines didn’t know that as the intelligence on his side was almost dug up, and the work of the Winter City intelligence department was getting more and more, the two people were actually withdrawn.
According to the original plan of the Temple, in addition to developing grassroots civilian believers, missionaries should also try to develop more noble believers, and it would be best to develop local lords into believers of the Temple.
But since Raines came to Winter City, he has not been able to attract the attention of Lord David Earl of Glamorgan, and he has no good excuse to approach the lord.
Treat the lord?
The lord has just turned 20 years old, and he is very healthy and strong. Not to mention serious illness, he has never felt unwell.
He even thought about poisoning the Lord, but after learning that there was a power called Holy Light in Winter City, he knew that his plan would not succeed.
Especially after talking with the Holy Light Bishop, the elf named Liadrin, he learned that the Lord of Winter City, Earl David Glamorgan, was a Holy Light user himself. It seemed that in the eyes of Liadrin, the Holy Light Bishop, Earl David Glamorgan himself was the incarnation of Holy Light.
Although Raines thought that the incarnation of Holy Light was nonsense, and that all other gods except the gods believed in by the Temple were false gods, at least it was certain that Earl Glamorgan understood the mysterious power and was quite powerful.
In addition, the Holy Light could heal and remove poison, so the plan of poisoning was abandoned as soon as it emerged.
He also considered taking the back house route. This Earl David Glamorgan was indeed as fickle as most young nobles, and had ambiguous relationships with many women. This method seemed to be the most reliable plan.
However, after Raines spent some time investigating carefully, he found that the confidantes of Lord Glamorgan were not much less difficult to approach than Lord Glamorgan himself. After
working for half a year without any results, Raines began to have serious doubts about his ability.
At this time, he received a call to cooperate with the actions of the Temple, which was really difficult for him.
He couldn’t cooperate at all!
After complaining to the contact person and applying for more support, Raines believed that if the Temple really wanted to establish influence in the northern plains, the best way was to win over the Lord of Winter City, Earl Glamorgan.
As long as the Lord of Winter recognized the Temple, the Temple could definitely “occupy” the entire north easily.
During the time he lived in Winter City, he had seen some of Winter City’s strength. As long as the population continued to increase steadily, Winter City’s influence would continue to rise until the entire north surrendered to Earl Glamorgan.
Even the entire Kingdom of Tilan might be swallowed up by Winter City in turn.
“At that time, perhaps the temple can take advantage of this cold wind from the north and shine the glory of the gods on the land of the entire Brunnia continent.”
After Rains fantasized for a moment, he quickly returned to reality.
“However, it may be difficult to do this.”
Not far away, Wilcox, who was sweeping the church, glanced in the direction of Rains and wrote down the position, angle and all the details of the missionary’s sunbathing. When there is a chance, go and see if there are any secret codes left…
David turned around and did not handle any government affairs today.
To be precise, as various orders were issued, various tasks were officially implemented, and each plan had a person in charge, David, the lord, became more and more idle.
After confirming that there was no problem again, David went to say hello to Princess Sofia and asked her to pack her luggage and prepare to leave.
Then he notified Tony, Jaina, Sylvanas, Medivh and others.
David was a little surprised that Medivh said he would not go with David. He was going to go out and see all the places on this continent called Brunnia.
In this case, it was confirmed that the people who would be traveling with him were Jaina, Sylvanas, Laura, and Sofia.
In addition, there were the ceremonial officer Elias, the personal guard knight Floyd, the escort Arcee, and Sofia’s personal guard knight Magnolia. In addition,
there were ten winter knights and the envoys led by Baron Willy-Sorken.
“Three Quinjet fighters are enough.”
Three Quinjet fighters can accommodate all the members of the team going to the capital, and there is even room for them.
In addition, some members of the Cybertron Legion will be on standby in Winter City. If an emergency occurs, Jaina Proudmoore will have the opportunity to show her talent in teleportation: first teleport back to Winter City, and then teleport to the designated battlefield with the assembled troops.
“Aren’t you going with a priest?”
“You want to go too?”
Liadrin shook her head. She had to go back to Quel’Thalas to recruit more priests, and she also had to teach apprentices in the Cathedral of Holy Light in Winter City. She really couldn’t get away.
“I think Casillas is a very talented priest. Bringing him along could be of some help.”
Liadrin wanted to recommend Casillas, a foreign student, to accompany them. Although David himself was a powerful Holy Light priest, it was not possible to trouble the lord to do everything personally, right?
Although the long-term goal of the Winter Knights is for every knight to become a paladin or hunter, it has not yet reached that level. There are still only a few people in the Winter Knights who have learned the Holy Light or the arcane.
So when traveling, if the Winter Knights suffer some minor injuries or get a minor illness? Just let an ordinary priest treat it. Why bother the Lord for such a small matter? I guess these Winter Knights themselves dare not ask.
But if minor injuries and illnesses affect the main business, it will be very stupid, so it is better to bring a priest.
At present, the excellent priests in Winter City, excluding David, are only Liadrin and Sally Whitemane, and then there are Mordo and Casillas, two international students.
Because they are mages who are good at using mysterious powers and have a good attainment in energy control, as long as they understand the Holy Light and get the Holy Light’s recognition, the two can immediately become qualified priests.
It was recently that the two were recognized by the Holy Light and officially became Holy Light priests.
“Then take him along.”
David found it very interesting to see Casillas, who had completely embarked on another life due to various strange influences.
In addition to Pastor Casillas, there was another acquaintance among the accompanying Winter Knights this time.
Brock Rumlow, also known as Crossbones!
After arriving in Winter City, Crossbones worked hard to improve himself and finally “mixed” into the Winter Knights.
In addition to his rich experience in special operations, Floyd specially brought him along on this trip.
“Where’s Tony?”
After basically confirming the list of the team going to the capital, David found that Tony had not replied to him yet, so he called him specifically.
“Do you still want to go to the capital?”
“Uh… I thought about it carefully, and I decided not to go.” Tony originally wanted to go and take a look, but suddenly thought that if he went with David, there was a high probability that he would meet the king of the Kingdom of Tiran, so would he have to salute His Majesty the King?
After thinking about it, Tony felt that he would definitely not be able to accept this situation, and he didn’t think that he could fool around with a few jokes.
“Okay then!”
“Anyway, if I want to see it, I can always fly out and look around… As long as I don’t fly to the synchronous orbit, there will be nothing to worry about.” He
was not sure before, but after David’s previous experience, he has confirmed that the “inside” of this world is safe enough, and they can let go a little, so Tony is not without things to do.
Maybe when David comes back from this trip, Tony will have come up with some new things.
After cutting off the communication and confirming that Tony will not go, the members of the team going to the capital have been finalized. David asked Elias to inform Baron Soken to set off tomorrow morning.
With the speed of the Quinjet, it will soon reach the capital, and David can even take Princess Sofia to have lunch with His Majesty the King.
“I shouldn’t have missed anything important, right?”
After thinking about it, David felt that he had considered it very carefully. Next, he would have a good night’s rest and set off early tomorrow morning.
As for what will happen after going to the capital?
He is also looking forward to it in his heart. It should be something interesting, right? By the way, will Earl Sutton-Stewart continue to sell shoes and socks in the capital? Will he get another share?
While being curious, David did not forget to call Eva. He would separate from Eva tomorrow, and he should pay the share for the future period in advance before leaving.
For a moment, he considered whether to call Helen as well?
At the last moment, he chose to follow his heart. He was not sure whether doing so would cause a conflict. Although they seemed to get along well on the surface, who knew what they were thinking in their hearts? He did not want these two to fight at home while he was away.
The night was long.
The next day, David got up early to bathe and change clothes. Under the command of Elias and with the help of a group of servants, he changed into the dress of the Kingdom of Tiran.
“My lord, you may go to the battlefield this time, so you must prepare a set of armor.” Elias was reminding his lord not to forget to bring the Light Messenger suit next to him.
“Where’s the cloak?”
“It has been prepared for you in advance.”
