Lord of War

Xiao Si reached out and knocked on a door.

Soon, footsteps were heard, and the door was opened.

Standing behind the door was Cefanio.

At this moment, she is wearing a light-colored nightdress, her graceful figure is looming, and she is holding a book in her right hand, which has been read nearly half of its contents. Xuefanio, who was born as a village girl, was illiterate at first, because her village was so remote that even the Temple of Wisdom was not established there, but when Xuefanio's blood was taken by Esther After Erji became active, she not only mastered the lingua franca of the mainland, but also thoroughly mastered the language of gods and elven characters.

But this kind of mastery is not really his own after all, so Cefanio likes to read books, especially when he has nothing to do.

Of course, Cefanio's reading range is indeed very wide, not limited to a specific field at all, or basically as long as it is a book, he is interested in reading it, just like now, the book he is holding is obviously a book. This popular romance novel reads nothing more than a vulgar plot such as a knight slaying a dragon and saving a princess.

"What's the matter?" Xuefanio asked with some doubts.

"Well, there's something I want you to help with." Sean said, "You know the old man Eli Kate mentioned earlier, right?"

"I know, didn't you start contacting him tonight?" When Cefanio said this, she realized that there was only An Nuo standing behind Sean, and there was no Alfred, "Where's Fred?  … ...are things not going well?"

"I don't know whether to say it went smoothly or too smoothly." Sean sighed helplessly, "There are two groups of people who are eyeing this old man, one of them may kidnap this old man, and the other group should be Responsible for protecting this old man... I asked Fred to send this old man back, but I was still worried, so I came to you."

"You want me to also be responsible for protecting this old man?" Xuefanio said, with some dissatisfaction in her tone, "I'm a priest with a knife!"

The priest with a knife is a sharp blade of the church, and its essence is very similar to the knight order to which the church belongs, but there are still fundamental differences between the two. The Church Knights are a symbol of the church's regular combat power, and they are the defenders of a church's legitimacy

Whether it is offense or defense, a large part of the reason why the church of gods in the world is strong depends on the combat power of the knights owned by a church.

Under normal circumstances, the Knights of the Church cannot be used at will, because once it is used, it will often evolve into a war-level conflict. Therefore, most of the missions that require combat are dispatched by the priests of the church. In this way, even if a battle occurs, it will only be limited to a certain range and will not become a large-scale war.

Of course, different churches have different names for the priest-sending organizations under them. For example, the Church of Dawn is the religious order that shocked the entire continent, the Hall of Dark Judgment of the Church of Goddess of Twilight, the Hall of Sanctions of the God of Justice, etc. According to these special titles, the titles of the ranks of the temple church will of course be different.

The priest with a knife is a special advanced profession that belongs to the special institution "Holy Hall of Winter" affiliated to the Church of Ice, Snow and Winter. In the words of the game, it is a hidden advanced occupation after the fourth-level priest, and for the believers who believe in Ace Winter, the Winter Great Hall is the gathering place for elites, and only the most elite priests and priests can do it. Enter the Winter Great Hall to continue your studies and learn stronger combat magic.

Therefore, priests with swords are not essentially followers and protectors.

It is a sharp blade specially used to punish enemies and heretics.

It is indeed a kind of disrespect to the priest with a knife to let Xuefanio protect people.

If Xuefanio were to fight, kill people, etc., she would be very happy to hold the saber named Bing Lin and then rush out cheering.

It is difficult for normal people to understand the fighting desire of priests with swords, but in fact, this is indeed a profession that can only become stronger in battle - only through countless battles can the divine arts and martial arts they have mastered become stronger. It all becomes a kind of fighting instinct of oneself, and this is also the only way to a higher realm.

Every real strong man is made by fighting.

"I'm not asking you to protect this old man." Sean knew Sefanio's temper very well, so he smiled, "I just want you to see who those guys are who are trying to get this old man's idea. … With Fred's strength, I believe that those guys will definitely not be his opponents, but I am afraid that someone stronger than Fred will intervene. Then the only person I can rely on at this time is you. After all, now Rui Na's identity is my fellow traveler, I can't let Rui Na show up, only your identity is unknown."

Xue Fanio thought for a while, then nodded: "Then what if no one makes a move?"

"Then you don't need to do anything." Sean said, "The purpose of our visit this time is only to obtain the contract documents for the territory, and other things have nothing to do with us, so it is best not to get involved in these troublesome disputes inside."

"In this way, don't I still have to protect people?" Xuefanio was still a little dissatisfied.

"It's not the same." Sean shook his head, he was too aware of the tendencies of priests with knives, so he started to fool around, "Fred is our companion, you are doing this out of concern for the safety of your companion. Action, and this can sharpen your observation and judgment, which is also a very important part in battle.... Being able to keenly detect the opponent's movements and goals so that you can attack in advance, this is It’s easier to take the initiative in battle.”

Obviously, Cefanio was quickly swayed by Sean.

She thought about it for a while, and found that it seemed to be the case, so she happily picked up her beloved saber and left.

"My lord, what are we doing now?" An Nuo asked with a puzzled expression.

"Go back to the room and sleep." Sean looked tired.

"Go back to the room? Sleep?" An Nuo blinked in disbelief.

"If you don't feel full, you can continue to eat in the chess hall." Sean said casually, "I'll go back to my room and sleep first."

"Oh...oh." An Nuo nodded blankly, and then he just watched Xiao En go back to his room.

An Nuo always felt that something was wrong, but he just couldn't think of what he should do. However, barbarians in the north are not good at thinking. This is almost the same as barbarians, even worse than barbarians. At least barbarians will fight for honor, but barbarians in the north...

Give them three meals, and they can fight for you.

Of course, the premise is that you really know how to train these northern barbarians.

Therefore, An Nuo soon turned around and left happily like Cefanio. The only difference between the two is that Cefanio is very eager to meet a real strong man who can fight against him, although because of his faith and the blood in his body, Cefanio wants to become a sanctuary Being strong is only a matter of time, but being able to become a strong man in the sanctuary does not mean that you will have the strength to match it.

You must know that strength does not simply refer to the size of strength, but also includes the understanding of strength, combat experience, combat awareness and so on.

This is also the helplessness of spellcasters—magicians and priests are the easiest professions to upgrade their levels. They don't need to wander between life and death like warriors to break through the limit. But because of this, although spellcasters often have powerful power, they don't have the matching combat experience and fighting awareness. Therefore, in the face of fighter professions of the same level, spellcasters often end in misery.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand Cefanio's eagerness to acquire knowledge, to have richer combat experience and awareness.

As for An Nuo, it was purely because he was able to eat his fill in the Grand Round Hall, as for other things, it was not within his consideration at all. Anyway, for him, he listened to what Sean said, even if Sean asked him to die, for the future life of the clansmen, An Nuo probably wouldn't even frown.

After returning to his room, Sean really fell asleep as he said, and it seemed that he really didn't care about what happened next.

After sleeping until noon the next day, Sean was finally awakened by a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, he found that it wasn't Alfred or Rena who knocked on the door, but Ali Kate, which made Sean a little surprised. But after he saw Ali Kate's face was a little weird, Sean frowned slightly: "What happened?"

"I'm afraid we have to make some changes in our plan." Eli Kate said eagerly, "You can wash up first, I will wait for you in the private room, or that one."

"Okay." Sean nodded, and then began to wash.

Because the rooms on the second floor are not high-end rooms, there is no bathroom. If you want to take a bath, you have to go to the public bath in the city. But if it's just a simple wash, there are two toilets and four toilets on the second floor, so Sean has to go to the bathroom to fetch water if he wants to wash. Fortunately, Sean is not the kind of person who is really pampered. Even after he came to this world and became a lord, his life is no different from before, so it is not difficult to fetch water and wash himself.

After tidying up everything, Sean went downstairs.

In the hall downstairs, the scene that Sean saw yesterday was repeated. It was neither deserted nor lively~ Of course, this was compared to what Sean had seen last night. However, Alfred and Annuo were already sitting at a table in the hall, enjoying their lunch. After seeing Sean going downstairs, Alfred immediately got up to greet him, while Annuo He got up and trotted over after scooping up the last piece of steak on the plate and swallowing it into his mouth.

"Where are the others?" Sean asked softly.

"Rina left the tavern early in the morning, following your instructions, trying to attract others' attention to her." Alfred replied, "Cefanio should still be in the room, she has had breakfast, lunch It was called back to the room., Chuan," Alfred paused for a moment before continuing to say, "Last night, I sent that old man home according to your instructions..."

"Let's talk about this later. Eli Kate called me to the private room to talk to him, saying that our plan needs to be changed. Come with me."

"Okay." (To be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Group @龙燕天] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
