Chapter 293: The Beginning of Action, the Discovery of the Silan Theocracy
"Kalinxia"
The month of water launch, March 20th.
"Colorless Tranquility" Hotel.
The huge figure of the evil dog lay at Tang Zheng's feet, shaking its tail from time to time. Even when it was lying down, its entire head was completely above the table.
Two black horns were exposed to the air, emitting a cold glow.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat quiet.
Tang Zheng placed one hand on the back of the evil dog's neck, gently rubbing its thick black hair, and placed the other hand on his leg, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Opposite Tang Zheng, there were three figures sitting.
Pavel, one of the nine colors of the Holy Kingdom, a short-haired young man wearing light armor, and a priest wearing an aqua-blue holy seal.
"I'm sorry, although I know "King Wu" Ge Jin, we are not as familiar with each other as you think." Tang Zheng shook his head and spoke softly to break the silence in the room.
"But according to rumors, the reason why the "King of War" Ge Jin left the empire had a lot to do with His Excellency Tang."
The priest crossed his hands and placed them flat on the table, speaking with a hint of respect.
As a member of the temple's "Priest Corps", he has never been very fond of the Adventure Guild and adventurers, but the man in front of him is not only powerful, but also a priest who believes in the gods.
Facing a powerful magic caster of faith, the priest naturally had to be respectful.
"This matter is a result of rumors, which makes it seem like there are many hidden secrets."
Tang Zheng was somewhat helpless and explained softly: "In fact, the whole thing is not that complicated. The "King of War" Ge Jin joined the Empire's fighting arena in order to become stronger."
"But fighting in the arena can no longer make him stronger. I told him that there are powerful demi-humans in the Abelion Hills, known as the "Ten Great Demi-humans."
"But I didn't expect that the "King of War" Ge Jin would really leave the empire. Because of this incident, I received a bounty from His Majesty the "Blood Emperor." "
Tang Zheng sighed and said sarcastically: "You are so stingy."
This sentence.
Pavel and the priest looked at each other subconsciously, but did not respond.
The "Blood Emperor" is the king of a country after all. As an adventurer, Tang Zheng may be able to make an evaluation without too many concerns.
But they represent the Holy Kingdom, and no matter what the reason, they cannot make arbitrary comments on the kings of other countries. This is not only disrespectful, but may also involve serious diplomatic issues.
Aside
The young man with short blond hair suddenly clenched his fists and said with some uncontrolled emotions: "Is this the reason why the "King of War" Go Jin appeared in the Abelion Hills..."
"Roberts." Pabel put his hand on Roberts' shoulder.
Tang Zheng looked at the three of them with a puzzled look on his face.
"So, what happened?"
"Is it related to 'King Wu' Ge Jin?" Tang Zheng asked.
"Tang, you don't know how much trouble this "King of War" Ge Jin has brought us."
When Pavel thought about what had happened during this period, a rare hint of anger appeared on his cold and calm face.
Those news could be hidden from ordinary people, but not from him. He was also a member of the nobility, but he felt angry and sad about those idiots who dared to trade with subhumans!
Pavel couldn't help but want to open the heads of those pig-like guys to see what impulses were in the heads of these useless people.
“There is one more thing I need to ask you about the Martial King Go Jin.” The priest suddenly interrupted Pavel and spoke seriously.
Tang Zheng's eyes flashed.
It seemed that the “Black” Pavel, who had the highest status among the three, was not the leader, but this male priest.
"A man from Kuirat?"
This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, and he nodded without changing his expression.
The priest asked questions with a mixture of true and false information, and it was obvious that he intended to conceal some intelligence, especially the situation in Abelion Hill.
Tang Zheng naturally pretended not to know. After a brief thought, he said, "From what I have learned, Ge Jin's character would indeed lead him to do something like this."
"Although the opponent is a demihuman, he is a warrior with a noble spirit. I am sure of this."
Speaking of this.
Tang Zheng looked at the priest opposite him: "Of course, there is another possibility."
"What?" The priest was shocked.
"I did it on purpose." Tang Zheng responded.
Pavel and the priest exchanged another glance. Their expressions grew more serious. This was consistent with their previous speculation.
The situation in the Abelion Hills might be more complicated than they had originally expected.
"Sir Tang, I know you have a lot of doubts, so we want to invite you..." The priest looked at Tang Zheng eagerly.
According to Lord Kuirat's wishes.
If "King of War" Go Jin really let Roberts go on purpose, then he must be conveying some kind of message to them.
They need to contact "King of War" Go Jin as soon as possible to further determine the situation in the Abelion Hills.
The threat posed by the united subhuman races is simply too great!
"I refuse." Tang Zheng spoke directly to the priest.
The priest's expression was a little stiff.
Pavel was not surprised. He glanced at the priest with his sharp eyes and thought to himself, "Too impatient."
"I don't mind providing you with some information."
"But the three of you must remember that I am an adventurer and have no interest in participating in any of your Holy Kingdom's plans."
Tang Zheng paused while stroking the evil hound's hand, and said seriously: "Of course, if you need our "free will" to provide some kind of assistance, then please go to the Adventurer's Guild first to place a commission."
These words.
The priest felt a little ashamed and realized that there was something wrong with his words just now.
"I will report this matter to my superiors," Pavel said promptly, his attitude very serious.
"Free Will" is not an ordinary team of adventurers. Although the opponent's current rating is "Gold Level", information from all sides shows that this is a team of adventurers with "Steel Level" strength.
It can be called a "national-level" power, which is no exaggeration to say that it is a proof of a country's strength.
Wanting to ask for help from such a team of adventurers with just a few words is not only a sign of contempt for them, but also a different kind of ignorance.
"I personally apologize to you, Mr. Tang." The priest stood up, bent down and spoke.
After a moment.
Pavel and the other two left together.
"I didn't expect it would be so soon. Has the Holy Kingdom already started planning to enter the hills for the second time?" Tang Zheng seemed to be thinking.
This time the purpose is obviously clearer.
Tang Zheng picked up a book called "Biography of the Holy Kingdom of Lobul" on the table and started reading it. It recorded some history, anecdotes and legends of the Holy Kingdom, which could help people better understand the Holy Kingdom.
at present.
The grain trade between the hilly area and the Holy Kingdom was completely cut off. The Holy Queen Kalko and the temple took thunderous action, allowing Tang Zheng to witness a "severe crackdown" with his own eyes.
A large number of nobles were "invited" to the Holy King's Capital. Except for a part of the rebellious nobles who were dealt with by the Paladins, most of the nobles were not in any danger of life.
This does not mean forgiveness.
On the contrary, these nobles were all stripped of their titles, which was more painful than killing them all.
Not only that!
According to the intelligence gathered by the Green Leaf Witch, despite such a big incident, there was no unrest among the nobles, and no rumors of "nobles trading with demihumans" spread among the people.
"We only dealt with the nobles at the earl level in order to stabilize the situation. Given the national conditions of the Holy Kingdom, all parties will do their best to prevent the news of "trading with demihumans" from spreading, otherwise it will definitely cause turmoil in the entire country."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Tang Zheng flipped through the book in his hand, thinking: "The territories left behind by the nobles who were stripped of their titles can not only strengthen the power of the royal family, but also be a piece of fat meat that is exposed."
After this incident.
Tang Zheng suddenly realized that all the unfavorable situations were developing in a direction that was favorable to the Holy Queen Kalko.
Such a cruel method.
It should be the method of my best friend and advisor, the highest priest of the Holy Kingdom Temple, Kuirat.
Faced with the cessation of food trade.
Tang Zheng looked relaxed and not worried at all. This was completely expected and it even took longer than he had initially expected.
The entire "grain transaction" has lasted for two months, from late January to late March now.
The massive infusion of food from the Northern Holy Kingdom and the Southern Holy Kingdom allowed Tang Zheng to accumulate a huge amount of food reserves.
There are so many that some cannot be counted.
In short, it is enough to easily carry out the "breeding plan" in the Tob Forest and the Abelion Hills.
"The only 'resources' I have are currently level 10 blank scrolls, and I have accumulated 65 of them."
Tang Zheng thought of the props in his hands that could really be used and sighed softly.
The 10th-level magic scroll was made one by one by using the "Papermaking Technique" 10 times every day.
at the same time.
The other side.
While the Holy Kingdom was shocked by the complicated situation in the Abelion Hills, the Silan Theocracy, which was located just to the east of the hills, also discovered the abnormality in the hills.
The deepest part of the theocracy.
In a sacred and holy room, six statues of gods are enshrined.
Six people of different ages, all over 40 years old, were holding various cleaning tools and cleaning the room, which was already spotless.
Everyone had a solemn expression and was doing their own cleaning work. There was no sound of talking in the room, only the faint sounds of breathing and cleaning.
They all wore tall hats and very similar priest robes, but the colors of the embellishments on the clothes were slightly different.
The identities of these six people are not simple.
The red color corresponds to the chief fire god, Benice Nagya Santini.
The blue color corresponds to the chief water priest, Sinedine de Lan Guelfi.
The color green corresponds to the chief god of wind, Dominic Ire Baidos.
The brown color represents the chief earth priest, Raymond Zagu Laurence.
The white color represents the High Priest of Light - Ion Gassner Delacroix.
The last one is the Dark Priest Maximilian Oreo Laguie.
The Silan Theocracy is different from other human countries. It is a country with a very strong religious atmosphere. The country closest to it is the Holy Kingdom.
only.
Even the Holy Kingdom is ruled by the "Holy King" who cooperates with the temple forces, rather than ruling the country entirely in a religious manner like the Silian Theocracy.
Because of this, the political power is not complicated. The highest-ranking officials are the chief priest and the six chief priests.
Below them are the presidents of the three institutions (judicial, legislative, and executive) and six priestesses.
As the six most senior people in a country, it would be unthinkable for them to clean the house themselves in other countries, because such a small task could be left to servants.
Each of the six chief priests cleaned the room very neatly and efficiently. With the abilities of six people, using the first-level "cleaning" magic was enough to clean the entire room.
No one would do that because it is blasphemy against God.
It took a long time to clean it thoroughly.
“Thank God!”
The six chief priests bowed in unison to the statue, lowered their heads deeply, waited for a moment, and then slowly stood up.
Everyone came to the round table in the room and sat down slowly. There was an empty chair, which was the seat of the High Priest. Today's topic did not require the High Priest to come forward.
"Then the meeting begins."
The chief wind officer Dominic spoke first. He was the master of ceremonies for the meeting today.
This is an old man who looks kind and gentle. He was once a member of the "Sunshine Festival". Based on his current appearance, no one would have thought that he had wiped out countless alien races.
It is unknown how many sub-human and alien species died at the hands of this man.
As a staunch adherent of the doctrine of "human supremacy", the elimination of all alien races in the world is the lifelong pursuit of Dominic, the chief officer of the God of Wind.
"According to the unexpected discovery of Astrology Qianli, there seems to be an unexpected abnormality in the Abelion Hills."
As soon as the words "Abelion Hills" were mentioned, the mellow image of the Chief Wind Officer Dominic disappeared, and there was a hint of gunpowder in his tone.
He had long been annoyed that the numerous alien races in the hilly area were right before his eyes, but he had never eliminated them.
If the former chief priests had not forbidden any major actions, he would have led the "Sunshine Festival" into the Abelion Hills long ago.
"Abnormal? Did something happen?" The chief officer of the God of Fire, Benice, asked.
This is the only female among the six chief priests. She has a round figure, a very friendly face, and a reassuring feeling all over her body.
There are many powerful sub-human groups in the hilly area, and the "Ten Outstanding Sub-Humans" are sub-human warriors who have entered the heroic realm.
Even the Silian Theocracy needs to treat this power seriously and with caution. In the eyes of the chief priests, it is enough to keep the hills in chaos.
