Chapter 636 Ratman Quiro, Adventurer Luca, and Archbishop Seth
When the saint's magnificent flames turned the marble into lava, no one dared to resist.
Then Karin found someone who could be considered the person in charge, gathered the people from the Old Holy City of the Torch Church, and then migrated to the New Holy City in the south.
These people are definitely useless, a group of heretics and weaklings whose ideas are contrary to the orthodoxy of the Torch Church.
If they surrender to Karin, they may also surrender to evil.
However, Karin still planned to deploy these people to the southern front.
There they won't have the chance to compromise with evil even if they want to.
According to Rand's intelligence, the plague has begun to spread. By then, they will either turn into rivets in the New Holy City and fight against the tide of the undead, or die.
In short, it should be able to delay time to a certain extent.
And Karin just needed them to do so, and needed a name.
Although Karin had no intention of subduing these heretics, on the surface, in the eyes of outsiders, Karin, who integrated the three splintered factions of the Torch Church, must be more convincing than Karin, who only represented the nascent faction of the Torch Church.
The reunion of the divided Torch Church, although only in appearance, may arouse vigilance in peacetime, but it will surely unite people in times of disaster.
Human hearts are useless if you say they are useless, but they can also be very useful if you say they are useful.
Karin watches over the heretics in the Old Holy City of the Torch Church, and she will supervise these cowards to the New Holy City.
…
In the south, the adventurers who were serving as an extra-organizational team to handle miscellaneous tasks had also arrived.
The adventurers at the adventurer camp are teaching some adventurers who have never been to the nearby adventure resort.
Although the reputation of the holiday resort adventure resort has spread among the adventurer community because of those photo crystals and word of mouth among adventurers.
But not all adventurers have the ability to travel long distances. If we look at the population ratio alone, nearly half of the adventurers are active in certain areas. After all, adventuring in unfamiliar places and facing unfamiliar environments and unfamiliar enemies will increase risks.
For adventurers who do not come from resorts, being an adventurer is a job that is not highly regarded and has low income.
There are also considerable risks.
Such adventurers are unlikely to be able to travel through mountains and rivers to visit a resort.
Now there are adventurers from the holiday villa coming here to carry out missions, and the Adventurer's Association there has also sent people to set up the camp.
This caused many adventurers who heard about this to come here, wanting to see what the adventurers and the people in the association of the legendary adventurer's holy land were like.
And they did quickly notice the difference.
These adventurers from the Moon Kingdom Resort were obviously richer than them, better equipped, and seemed to have some magical props that they had never seen before.
For example, there are relic lights that can absorb sunlight during the day and emit light at night.
For example, there are some relic constructs that can actually be driven by humans, or resistance equipment and flamethrowers.
These are things that the local adventurers have never seen before.
And when they want to try or buy them, they are reminded that these are things that can only be owned by adventurers with sufficient Sanctuary certification.
Now many local adventurers have realized that the holiday villa depicted in the photo crystal is indeed likely a holy place for adventurers.
Now they are eager to join, and Rand's people also need their familiarity with the local area to learn more detailed intelligence.
Of course, the Sunshine Adventurer Team arrived here earlier than these adventurers. They had a special mission and did not appear in this temporary Sanctuary Adventurer Association headquarters.
This meant that many adventurer fans who had heard of their deeds had no chance to see their idols in person.
The mission of the Sunshine Adventurers is to follow Seth to meet the ratmen leader Quirrell.
Luca came to the gathering place of the ratmen.
This place is different from what one might imagine, being dirty, messy and disgusting. It is very clean and orderly, more like a Crescent City than an ordinary human town.
Two short but well-equipped ratman guards blocked the way of Luca and others.
“Although humans are not prohibited from visiting here, you are still too... scary.” The two ratmen looked at Luca’s men.
Of course, Luca and the others had now hidden the magic equipment given to them by Rand, but their temperament and actions still aroused the vigilance of the ratman guards. These were definitely not ordinary human adventurers.
Luca stepped aside, and a rather handsome man dressed as a bishop stepped forward. "I am Seth, the Archbishop of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest and Health. I bring you news from His Majesty Rand. I want to see Quirrell."
During Operation Scorching Sun, the ratmen Quirrel and Rand parted ways after their cooperation. Quirrel accepted Rand's suggestion to look for the ratmen's holy weapon and established a gathering place for the ratmen.
Nowadays, at least in many places in the south, ratmen no longer need to roam around in human towns and do the dirty and tiring work that most humans are unwilling to do.
The ratman guard looked at Seth in surprise.
They knew of course about the Church of the Goddess of Harvest and Health, and they knew about Rand.
But why is the Archbishop of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest and Health here?
One of the ratman guards quickly went back to report, and after a while, the ratman hero Quiro came to greet them in person.
Quirrell and Rand occasionally exchanged letters.
But their numbers are very small. After all, compared with a great figure like His Majesty Rand, the ratmen as a race are really not worth mentioning.
The ratman Quirrell was unwilling to harass Rand too frequently, for fear that the little affection that existed between the two would be diminished due to such harassment.
And now the Archbishop of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest and Health actually came here in person to deliver the letter.
The ratman Quirrell smelled danger.
"It's because of the plague, right?" Quirrell asked seriously after bringing Luca's adventurer team and Seth to the private reception room of the gathering place.
"Yes, the situation is serious. I brought a letter from His Majesty Rand." Seth handed the letter to Quirrel.
After reading it word by word carefully, Kui Ruo frowned.
Luca's team of adventurers were also looking at the ratman leader Quirrell at this time. At first, they were actually a little confused about why Rand attached so much importance to the ratmen.
But now at least this ratman gathering place is completely different from what was imagined, and as a leader, Quirrel is also different from the weak and dark ratman imagined.
Quirrell's build is no different from other ratmen, short and with rat-like ears and tail.
But he has a strong leadership character that makes people want to believe him, and his strength...
Luca is now a top-level professional, but he has no confidence in defeating this ratman. It is obvious that due to the racial gap, even if this ratman is the top-level, he will not be a match for the top-level human professional.
"So this plague will be carried by rats, creatures that can be found everywhere, and can be transmitted to humans, ratmen." Quirrell quickly understood the situation.
"If this plague really develops into a very serious one, then rats will become the source of everyone's fear, and ratmen will also be hated because of their habits that are not much different from rats. This may cause the ratmen as a race to be destroyed first." Quirrell analyzed.
"We don't know to what extent this will affect the ratmen, but it will definitely be very serious. In fact, the plague is already very serious." Seth said slowly, handing Quirrell a photo crystal.
The crystal movie was playing in the living room.
Before Archbishop Theus arrived, Quirrell had actually discovered that some ratmen were infected with the plague.
After the discovery, Quiruo immediately arranged for these ratmen to be isolated.
Skaven are more resistant to disease than ordinary humans. They are less likely to be infected by the plague, and even if they are infected, the symptoms will be relatively mild.
But after all, there are many ratmen who often do dirty work in dark places or even near sewers, and it is not too uncommon for them to be infected with the plague. Although the ratman Quiro dealt with it in time, he did not take it as a serious matter.
Now it seems obvious that this is not the case.
"Does His Majesty Rand have any suggestions?" The ratman Quirrell looked very ugly.
The ratmen are a race that is very easily captured by other races and used as slaves. It is already very difficult to establish a ratman gathering place here.
Quiro wanted the ratmen to live a slightly better life, so he made a lot of efforts to this end, such as improving the image of the ratmen among humans and establishing a ratmen army to make some bandits and robber barons realize that ratmen gathering places are not to be trifled with.
But if the ratmen are treated with hostility by humans because of the plague, then when the plague is finally eradicated, the ratmen as a race may be destroyed due to the hostility or even direct actions of humans.
Seth looked at Quirrell and said, "His Majesty Rand requires you to immediately relocate all the ratmen that can be controlled to the place designated by His Majesty Rand. His Majesty Rand is very optimistic about you. In view of our friendly relationship, we will provide you with weapons and invite you to fight against the coming plague and the army of undead that will follow."
Quirrel was silent for a while. His Majesty Rand's request was not a suggestion, or even an order. The ratmen certainly did not belong to Rand, and Rand's request was not the most beneficial solution for the current survival of the ratmen.
But it's obvious.
If they do not act according to His Majesty Rand's request, then Rand, the human king who could have been an ally and who respects and understands the ratmen, will inevitably make the situation most unfavorable for the survival of the ratmen.
Rand sent the Archbishop of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest and Health to deliver the letter in person, and his tone was calm and non-threatening, which was a great respect.
If the rat people don't know what's good for them, they will truly lose the chance to survive.
"I cannot control all the rat tribes or rat gathering places at the moment. It is even more difficult to control those rats living in human towns. I can only deliver a message at most, but I will try my best to fulfill the will of His Majesty Rand." The ratman Quirrell replied.
Seth stared at Quirrel for a while. The young boy had now grown into an experienced adult. He knew very well what Quirrel meant by "suggestion" at the beginning and "obeying the will" now.
He smiled, and then said: "We will have the strength to assist you when the time comes, but most of the work still depends on you. We will not have an easy time in this plague."
The ratman Quiro quickly went back to make arrangements, and as an important envoy, Seth would not stay here for too long as there was still a lot of important work waiting for him.
Next, he would go to some places in the south where the Church of the Goddess of Harvest and Health could reach out, and revise some health scriptures.
And doing things within your ability.
Luca from the Sunshine Adventurer Team followed Seth back.
Although this operation did not encounter any crisis, it still allowed them to experience different customs and practices.
This made them very satisfied with the mission, which was highly rewarding but seemed relatively safe.
If it had not been difficult to arrange the Holy Knights of the Sanctuary as guards this time, such a good job would not have been theirs.
Not to mention the unique things you get to see.
Originally, they had always thought that ratmen were really the kind of creatures that hid in the sewers, were short in stature and moved in a clumsy manner, and had habits that were not much different from real rats, so they could be considered a species of intelligent creatures.
But soon Luca felt helpless.
It won’t be completely easy after all.
On the way back, they encountered the enemy.
Five Death Knights, and a group of festering ratmen, some of which looked dead and some alive.
"Sure enough, the mission is not that easy to accomplish." Luca drew out the shining magic sword, "Lord Cece, please step back, we will protect you."
Seth stepped back with a smile: "I will assist you, so don't treat me as someone without fighting ability."
Luca didn't know the combat capability of Archbishop Seth, as there was no report on Archbishop Seth's combat level in the intelligence.
However, the combat skills of someone who can sit in the position of Archbishop should not be too bad.
The Sunshine Adventurer team took their positions and prepared to meet the enemy.
The Death Knight is a high-level undead, and it takes about five elite professionals to defeat one Death Knight.
As for five, it would require a team of adventurers with higher-level professions to deal with them.
Fortunately, there is Luca in the Sunlight Adventurer Team. Luca is a fully armed top-level adventurer with rich combat experience.
Seth clenched his hands, and then the festering rat-man undead fell directly to the ground and turned into dry bones.
Luca's sword slashed at the body of a death knight. The sharp magic blade could easily destroy the undead's skeletal body.
At this time, Luca also felt some kind of blessing from Bishop Seth.
Allows his blade to deal more damage to the undead.
It's like... the Torch Church's special sword oil was rubbed on the blade.
This meant that the Death Knight, who theoretically had no obvious vital points, was killed by just one sword strike.
Now there are only a few crazy ratmen who are still alive, and four death knights.
Seth looked relaxed. Currently only a few high-ranking church members could master the power from the Mother Goddess.
This power has a great impact on sanity, and Seth is more resistant to it.
This divine art of borrowing the power of the Mother Goddess is not popular in the Church of the Goddess of Harvest and Health, but for Seth who can master it, this power is very useful.
It has special effects on both ordinary creatures and evil things.
Soon, all the Death Knights fell.
After Seth and the adventurers dealt with the enemy, they investigated the surrounding environment.
"It's not targeting us. It should be intended to attack travelers and merchants, or even small villages." Luca said.
"It seems the situation is more serious than we expected." Seth sighed.
