Chapter 157 The Eternal Flame of Novigrad
Chapter 157 Novigre's Eternal Fire
Need the help of the warlock? Philiba felt that everything was back in her control.
"Your idea of 'diversity help' is very interesting. If you need it, I will help you contact the Brotherhood. But you should not trust those warlocks who come alone to find them, because there are also those who oppose you and maliciously intend to enforce your bloodline power. If they are asked to find you, they may not contact you as calmly as I do."
The old PUA has made some tricks, and the woman almost told Lane directly, "Don't contact the warlock that was not brought by Philippa."
Lane raised an eyebrow: "I have my own judgment."
Within the Brotherhood of Warlocks, although Lane now has support from Yennefa and Triss, Tris is a real "young warlock" and has no say; while Yennefa is a little older, he is alone and has no support from the organization within the Brotherhood.
In contrast, Philipba has already stepped into the top leadership of the Brotherhood organization and can leverage more resources. Although Lanen has half of the enemy and me now, before Lanen grows up completely, absorbing her nutrients to grow herself is also a very good choice.
This kind of sorcerer is always easier to fool than a king or something...
With the system and foresight, Lane is very confident that she will grow rapidly at a speed that everyone can't react, and then surprise these people who are trying to manipulate themselves.
…………
After the conversation with Philipba, both sides did not make any statement in a tacit understanding.
With all the cards Lanen has in his hands now, he may be able to kill Philiba if he is used. But that's not worth the loss.
The overall strategy has been decided, although it is ultimately destined to fight with the enemy; when to fight, in what form, and to what extent, these must be decided by Lane himself, rather than being led by the enemy.
Philiba's calculation made Lane very angry, but now he wants more than just breathing. Since he has the advantage of foresight, he has many things to do. Killing the enemy is just the basis. On this basis, he also needs to knock the enemy's bones and suck the marrow and eat it.
Wigofortz, Philipba, and other current and future political enemies are all remembered in my heart, wait...
Because all his subordinates were plotted against, Lan En chose to stay for more time to repair the cattle castle, which could make everyone reflect and adjust their state.
During this period, the soldiers were all blaming themselves for being attacked by the enemy without knowing it. As guards, they actually let the count they wanted to protect face the enemy alone, which was simply a shame.
Under the influence of this self-blame emotion, the low pressure around them during this period made Lane secretly shocked. But he was happy to see it happen.
Philiba's incident sounded a wake-up call for all of them. After all, some people did not play according to the routine. There were many people who were too confident in the rules of rights in the original work, and the result was that the king died in large numbers.
This also gave Lane another sense of urgency. He needed to increase his strength as soon as possible and form a stronger guard team.
I was actually brought in without realizing it. You have to know that he is the one who should be the one who should be lifting the table the most.
During these trimming days, Lane also had frequent exchanges with Dandelion, Shani and "Rust" Milo, and determined their plans later.
Dandrien stayed in the Cattle Castle, and he lived a comfortable life here. He didn't dare to run around until Reines died; Shanie did not intend to abduct her for the time being. Medicine is a subject that requires a solid foundation, so the Cattle Castle can give Shanie a stable learning environment.
"Rust" Milo has promised to go to Sintra after the semester's course. Lane gave him the Lannister family's coat of arms and agreed to send soldiers to escort him at that time.
The physical formula that Lane asked Milo to hand over - actually Newton's first law - attracted the attention of many scholars. They are said to have begun to organize and start experimental arguments, but none of them have gone to see Lane for the time being.
Lane doesn't care much about this. The researchers are understanding that they keep away from the powerful. What's more, Lane is just an earl who is about to fall out of his country, and he is not as powerful as the "powerful" to make the researchers let go of their reserve.
This is a seed he planted and will surely grow into a towering tree; he is not worried that the other party will embezzle his academic achievements, and Milo and other scholars will testify, and he also said that there are subsequent derivation formulas in his hands, which are enough to attract these scholars.
After settled down these things, Lann bid farewell to Vizmir II and headed towards Novigre.
Although Novigre is located in Redania and is nominally ruled by Vizmir II, it is actually a free city.
This city of freedom is very close to the Cattle Castle, and it can even be said to be located in the same area. Lanen and his group arrived at the gate of the city in just two days. Lanen looked at the city that spent almost all his time in his previous life. Looking at the elf-style building that was very similar to Sintra, he felt a lot of emotion.
It is the largest city and the most important port in the Northern Kingdom, and is even called the "capital capital of the Northern Kingdom".
People of different professions and races gather in this city. The city's amazing wealth, influence and strategic importance made Vizmir II himself afraid. It was therefore that Ogilde Iverick was able to lead his "Wild Boar Gang" and the armed private army stationed here without worrying about attracting the encirclement of the kingdom.
When Novigre was several miles away, prosperous villages began to appear around. At that time, there were still many soldiers from Redanian patrol. Lann revealed the documents given by Vizmir and could pass through unimpededly.
At this time, the soldiers stationed at the gate of Novigri were changed into clothes. They no longer carved the eagle emblem of Redania, but were wearing simple white and red robes outside their armor.
This is the private armed force of the mainstream religion in the north - "Eternal Fire". This religion has a strong influence in all countries in the north. Because Novigre is its origin, the sect's control here is even stronger than that of Vizmir II.
Of course, in addition to the Eternal Fire, Novigre has other more complex political components, which will be discussed in detail later.
In addition to these complex strengths, Novigre itself is also a huge treasure house. Many master craftsmen live in seclusion here, as well as ungrown Jinka characters living here, and warlocks set up secret laboratories here, these are memories brought by Lane from the game in his previous life.
What are some of the things you can try to make a plan now?
Lann was pondering.
The arrival of their group had already attracted the attention of the Eternal Fire Guard who was guarding the city. The guards shouted loudly to let Lanen and his group dismount for inspection. Perhaps they had seen the eye-catching noble emblems, so these guards were quite polite.
The leading soldier, as a result, the document in Lanen's hand looked at Lanen's dark golden lion's eyes for two seconds, then looked at Zhuoltan and others in the team, and asked, "The king sent you here?"
Lane nodded: "We will come to visit Mr. Schappelle of the Eternal Fire as the king's instructions. The king has some information to convey to me."
"Mr. Schappelle." The soldier showed a respectful expression on his face. After confirming that Lanen and his group had no problems with the identity and procedures, he also took the initiative to arrange two soldiers to lead the way for Lanen.
On the way, Zoertan left the team, and then he wanted to start his business business, which was no longer the same as the purpose of Lann's trip.
"Sintra should be in need of supplies. Make a list for me. When I lead the team there, I will definitely give you a sufficiently discounted price!"
Lane was indecisive. After saying goodbye to the Dwarfs, they were led to the headquarters of Eternal Fire by the soldiers of Eternal Fire.
Novigre is a port city with rivers everywhere. The headquarters of Eternal Fire is more grand and is directly set on a small peninsula extending outward with Novigre as the center, called the "Shrine Island".
When Lane walked into the real temple under the guidance of the guide soldiers, he saw a short man giving a morning prayer to everyone:
"The flames ignite us and protect us from evil.
The pure and supreme flame heals our hearts.
The most sacred flame drives away all the beasts.
The flames burn everything and burn the enemy's hearts.
The flames keep dancing, shining the brightest road for us.
The red flames flash brightly, protecting us from suffering.
The flames will never go out and will guide us after death.
The flame gives warmth and guides the direction of our lives.”
Standing in front of the short man was a group of soldiers in black armor and white robes. After the short man finished praying, they also gave warm responses:
“We pray to you of eternal fire.
For eternal fire, we bet on you.
The fire of eternity, there is no other god in our eyes!"
The short man nodded with satisfaction and shouted "Go!" and all the white-robed soldiers walked out of the Temple Island.
They are not the group of extreme and bloody non-human race hunters in later generations, but are ambitious people who are full of faith and are burning with flames in their hearts. They uphold the noble sentiment of "warm the world and dispel evil", and each is full of fighting spirit and high spirits.
When Lanen has now moved to many powerful countries, he will sigh at him for a very elite.
The short man had noticed Lanen long ago. His attitude was very cold, but he actually took the initiative to explain to Lanen and his group: "We received a tip today that a gang wanted to organize an armed battle near the square. We need to ensure that the damage they caused would be controlled within an acceptable range and would not harm ordinary citizens."
He took the initiative to walk towards Lann and his group, wearing a white tights and a gray coat, and the gold necklace around his neck shaking with his pace, flashing with dazzling golden light.
He is Shapele.
As the security officer of Eternal Fire, Schappelle can be said to be one of the most powerful men of Novigre. He is said to have been a cruel, cold and extreme religious madman, but since he recovered from a stroke, he seemed to have realized it and become more kind and compassionate.
Of course, he did not lose his basic qualities as a military officer. This iron fist and soft wrist acted more than just a good reputation in Novigre, and invisibly made the city more prosperous.
And if Lann remembers correctly, there is something else about Schappelle's "rebirth".
"If you are going to act in Novigre later, you should also pay attention to these gangs. They act fiercely, but they also have basic rules." Schappelle said. "Vizmir II wrote to me about your affairs. I will give you information, but my soldiers will not act for the king. All they can drive them is the supreme eternal fire."
