Chapter 604 Is Your Intelligence Too Late?
He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just shook his head and turned to look at his men who were following him:
"Anyway, since we're already in Castel, we might as well be guests. It's a good opportunity to see the believers. We've let them down so much."
The priests of the Church of Silence wanted to say something, but when they heard Ignatius mention the believers in the church, they all fell silent.
It was the believers of the White Crow Principality who made the greatest sacrifice.
They lost their land and could only wander in the north, being driven everywhere by various lords. After finally gathering a resistance force, they were abandoned by the church.
No matter how many reasons these priests have, they know that they owe the believers.
The temple failed to protect its own people, and all they could do was perish together with the White Scourge. If Nora had not found Castel as a home for the resistance, the believers' future would surely be bleak.
The priests in the church were truly filled with guilt, a guilt that even made them feel it would be better to die in the fog.
No priest could refuse the reason of "going to see the believers".
Besides this, the priests of the Church of Silence were actually somewhat dissatisfied.
Ignatius has a high prestige in the temple, and these days have not been wasted, they have made a lot of efforts.
But in Nora's words, these efforts were meaningless. The church was just repeating the sacrifices of the past again and again. This deeply hurt the hearts of the priests.
They also want to prove themselves to some extent. The temple may have taken the wrong path, but it is not meaningless, right?
After all, everyone was really determined to sacrifice.
Naturally, they were angry because their will was denied. They also didn't really believe Nora's praise for Castel.
It is also said that Count Hughes is also a border earl.
The Border Earl, whom they had met.
Basel is like that. Although that person has some abilities, he lacks some foundation. Can such a lord really run a good territory?
Perhaps it was just luck that they discovered some new technologies and managed to find a safe haven in this chaotic world.
Nora was the youngest among those buried. After all, the ceremony had only been carried out a few years ago and she did not have much experience, so she might have been deceived.
They still need to investigate whether Castel is really the refugees' home.
The priests had no ill feelings towards Castel. After all, the expeditionary force had saved them, and they had also heard about Count Hughes's expedition to the north for Nora and the resistance army.
Even if the facts are inconsistent with what Nora said, the priests are willing to contribute to this situation - they definitely have the ability to do so. You have to know that the people standing here are extraordinary people from the entire Silent Church, and even the Candlelight Society can come into direct contact with them.
The Imperial Royal Army was previously driven out by these priests. Whether it is a secular war or an extraordinary confrontation, the Temple of Silence will not be afraid.
Well, since Castel is an island, it must have had dealings with sea creatures before, right? Whether it's the remnants of the Church of Poseidon or the Pirate King of Gem Bay, the Silent Temple can lend a hand. While gaining an advantage on the enemy's home turf might not be an advantage, it's still necessary to show some respect.
——The Silent Temple has been studying how to deal with the White Disaster and has not paid much attention to the coastal areas of the empire. After the Queen was assassinated, they gave up the northern border and headed to the empire. At that time, even the sea had not dried up.
After arriving in the Empire, their main source of intelligence came from the Candlelight Society, which deliberately concealed a lot of key information. Therefore, their understanding of Castel was still stuck in the past. Even if they specifically inquired about it later, they only found a lot of scattered information.
And they didn't really care.
The Undertaker's concept of time is somewhat different from that of ordinary people. Their eternal life makes it easy for them to ignore the changes around them. What happened a few years ago? It seems not much different from yesterday.
How much can change happen in just a few years?
The priests of the Church of Silence quickly reached a consensus and decided to follow Ignatius to visit Castel.
As for how to treat Count Hughes and Castel in the future, let's wait and see how the situation develops.
"Everyone, since you are awake now, why don't we go for a check-up to facilitate the subsequent treatment?" Seeing that they had reached a consensus, Richard walked into the house.
"No need to trouble you, Mr. Richard." Ignati rubbed his head. The knowledge that Gwen had previously thrown at him with the flail was still there. It was mainly some basic information, such as the name of Richard in front of him.
"The damage we suffered was all to our souls, caused by the characteristics of the Forgotten Temple. We can discuss this matter later. In short, we don't have any other injuries."
"Really?" Richard glanced at the faint traces of blood in Ignati's white hair, and his eyes twitched.
"Don't worry, these are just superficial injuries. They won't have much impact on the person being buried, and they'll recover soon." He reached out and touched his forehead, his eyes squinting in pain.
The people who were buried there only then noticed that they all seemed to have some injuries on their heads, and it went without saying who the culprit was.
——Gwen was still holding the flail, eager to try.
"Well, thank you Ms. Gwen. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have woken up. Your grip is quite strong."
"It's okay. I learned this from doing farm work. You can always come to me if you need treatment in the future." Gwen said with a smile.
For some reason, when she faced Ignatius, the Patriarch of the Temple of Silence, she did not feel the nervousness and awkwardness she had felt before when facing Alexi. It was obvious that the man in front of her was the one whose stories she had grown up listening to.
Maybe after being hit on the head with the flail, the relationship between the two naturally improved.
Well, the incense burner in the Temple of Silence has the effect of enhancing friendship. Gwen silently kept this in mind, secretly glanced at Nora wearing a helmet, and wondered whether she should give it a try later.
"Hello, hello, I'm Nini, a journalist by profession, and an honorary member of the Knights Hospitaller of Castel. The Banshee regiment will be here soon, and I'll be able to take you on a tour!" Nini enthusiastically squeezed into the house, got into the crowd, and shook hands with seven people at the same time.
Ignati held the tip of her tail and shook it politely, with no expression on his face.
But the reactions of other members of the Silent Temple were much greater.
They first looked at Nini with caution, but soon they covered their foreheads with their hands and showed expressions of fear.
It wasn't that Nini attacked them, it was mainly because Gwen had just hammered the idea into their heads that "banshees are good people and good demons."
