Parallel Armies——The Sound of the Turning Tide Chapter Sixteen Spreading the Curse
"I see..." After all, former Bishop Ronan was a corrupted clergyman, so he still had to be vigilant. There is a saying that living like this is a bit too tiring.
"What is that sealed thing specifically? Can you tell me?" Fageni asked.
"This... to be honest with you two, this matter was mainly carried out under the guidance of the Sea Clan. This was a seal on the evil god, and the seal lasted for more than a hundred years. If it weren't for my special responsibilities and I often consult ancient books, I wouldn't have known about it.
This matter is a top secret, and neither of you wants to reveal it to outsiders."
"We will definitely pay attention to this. Secrecy is also the professional quality of mercenaries. You don't have to worry." Alexander thought that maybe this evil god was the one Ronan converted to.
Fageni also nodded: "We will not tell this matter."
"So are there any other suspicious things happening in the city recently?" Alexander continued to ask.
"I am not responsible for the monitoring of population movements, and nominally the church does not have this right." The bishop shook his head, probably because he was really unclear.
"Is that so... Do you have any information about people with strange scales on their feet? We have seen such people recently." Alexander thought for a while before asking.
The bishop sighed. "I have prayed to God sincerely, but this disease with a curse is very strange, and ordinary powerful purification and drug treatment will not work."
"Alexander, do you think Ronan came here because he knew about this?" Fageni guessed.
"Speaking of Ronan, we have received news before that he appeared in church attire here. Do you know anything about this?" Alexander remembered this.
"It was a trainee priest who saw it. When he was escorted back by the church's paladin, he saw a man dressed as a priest, and he was sneaky. I only heard about it a little bit, not very clear. By the way. Two
In order to travel as quickly as possible, you must have dug into your own pockets on the way. It is also very dangerous to track down the apostates from the church. I cannot entertain you two well during this special period. This is my personal opinion and I hope you can accept it."
The bishop took out a topaz ring and planned to hand it to Alexander.
"Ah, since it's your kindness, Bishop." Fageni didn't expect that he could make money from this trip.
"This..." Alexander hesitated for a moment, but decided to refuse. "Our remuneration has already been paid before. I feel uneasy about charging more. Thank you for your kindness."
"Wouldn't this also be helpful for us to track Ronan? It seems that this ring is of great use to us? Is this a magic equipment?" Fageni looked at the ring.
"To be precise, this was once a piece of magic equipment, but now it is just an ordinary gemstone ring. But even so, it can at least be pawned and sold."
"Is that so?" Fageni felt that since it was given by the bishop, the selling price would probably be high.
"Please don't refuse. To me, it's just a gift from the nobles, but it will be of great use to you."
"Then... thank you very much." Alexander began to wonder if he was judging people by their appearance, and finally accepted the ring with a guilty conscience. "Where is the trainee priest?" The ring looked very ordinary, and the archer couldn't notice it.
There are magic waves on it.
"I should be enjoying my vacation at this time. I have been away for a long time due to official duties. Do you need my help to check where to stay?" the bishop asked.
"Then I'll excuse you. Although it's so late, the previous movements in the sea are really disturbing. I'm sorry." Alexander finished his greetings and prepared to leave.
“Every believer has the obligation and responsibility to prevent bad things from happening,” the bishop said righteously.
"It's indeed admirable. Anyway, I'm sorry to trouble you." After Alexander finished speaking, the bishop moved hard and left.
Alexander stood there and waited for the bishop to disappear from his sight before stuffing the ring into his pocket. Then he asked the paladins and trainee priests if there had been anything suspicious in the city recently. By the way, he asked the man who saw him.
Story about Ronan’s trainee pastor.
Fageni stayed aside doing nothing, thinking about how to teach Chester to pass the boring time.
It took a lot of time to find the trainee priest and paladin who were on duty to inquire about the matter, but unfortunately there was no gain. It was already late at night, and the church was about to close.
Alexander expressed his thanks and left, and Fageni followed slowly, yawning.
"Let's go around the hotel from where you met that person. If we bump into that person, I can try to negotiate." Alexander said to Fageni after walking a few steps.
"I forgot a long time ago. Let's try it." Fageni shook his head and tried to lead Alexander to that street and then to the alley.
Unfortunately, there are not as many streetlights in Copenhagen Castle as there are in Lamesa. Alexander and Fageni spent a lot of time trying to meet the cloaked hooded man, and ended up being interrogated several times by the guards. Although they finally found him
But I didn't see any suspicious people in that alley - except for the patrolling guards, there were only two people wandering around in the streets and alleys at this point.
"It's getting late, you have to look for it yourself." Fageni felt sleepy and decided to go back to the hotel.
"Are you sure this is the place?" Alexander walked into the alley and knocked everywhere with his hands.
"Not sure." Fageni replied immediately, but in fact there was nothing wrong with this place.
At eleven o'clock in the night, Chester woke up from a momentary drowsiness. At this time, Heath's translation work came to an end.
Although Chester was literate, he had little use in the village, so he couldn't understand the ancient words in this book. After copying, Heath also needed a lot of time to identify the original meaning of the words and try to straighten them out.
The word order, however, still contains many errors and inconsistencies.
"Chester, you must be tired. It's getting late. You should rest now." Heath said with concern.
Chester tried twice and successfully dispersed the unknown magic book into spell symbols and returned it to his body. "Sister Heath, you should go back to bed early."
Hitz just responded and then continued to translate. Generally speaking, this is indeed a novel, but it records a large number of special swordsmanship that requires the use of magic power - it is essentially a spell, which is not as good as Fageni
It's a special move that uses magic flow to form air waves.
The content of the story is that a sailor named Rogge has rich combat experience and created a set of swordsmanship by himself when fighting pirates. This is also the swordsmanship that has been abandoned by the regular army of the Kingdom of Bakato.
Before it was abandoned, this set of swordsmanship also had many unreasonable postures and movements that ordinary warriors would never use. This secret disappeared after Rogge's son died in the line of duty when he was the commander of the navy.
In addition to telling Rogge's deeds, this book also contains many of the author's own insights, and makes up for the shortcomings of swordsmanship. In the end, before his death, the author instilled all his magic power into his own notes, forming this magic book.
That is to say, this is a newly formed magic book after the Four Kingdoms War.
The last sentence was written very illegibly, and Heath could not identify the words in the ancient common language. He probably died after writing the last paragraph.
After understanding it, Heath copied these contents in the current common language. The last sentence could not be deciphered for the time being, so he could decipher it later. He planned to give this part of the contents to Chester first. However, Chester was already asleep.
"Ah, the child has already fallen asleep. Forget it, let's give it to him tomorrow, ha~" Hitz rubbed her eyes, feeling dizzy and a little sleepy. She put away the copied parts and returned to herself
rested on the bed in the house.
About one o'clock in the morning Alexander and Phageni returned.
Alexander was getting ready to wash up and go to bed. "Oh, I didn't get any useful news today. Go to sleep." She whispered to herself so as not to wake up Shiz. Before going to bed, she had better put arrows near the doors and windows to avoid being attacked at night.
And put the bow and arrow beside him. "Good night."
After Fageni returned to his room, he threw himself directly on the bed. [Ah, I'll beat whoever wakes me up early tonight.] The exhausted warrior slowly fell asleep.
The gathering time was relatively late the next morning. After guiding Chester and exchanging information, it was time for lunch. It was already a quarter past twelve after having an exquisite but decent lunch.
"Let's go to the Cavan Church again. I guess if the bishop really checked, there should be results." Alexander wiped his mouth and said: "Also, you can find someone to check the ring before going."
"Okay, let's go after you finish eating." Fageni put the plate with no noodles left on the table and wiped his mouth.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Hitz licked the sauce from the corner of his mouth and wiped his saliva.
"Do you have anything else to do?" Alexander asked.
"No." Heath thought for a moment and then shook his head.
"Then let's take action." Alexander stood up and prepared to set off.
"Okay, Alexander." This elf was really annoyed.
After arriving, although Bishop Slovin was not in the cathedral, he had already asked the priest on duty to tell the three people the address of the trainee priest.
Alexander thanked the priest on duty and casually asked where the bishop was. The priest told her that the bishop was in a centralized ward outside the city. All patients with ichthyosis were gathered together and placed there. Although purification cannot expel them, it can alleviate them.
The curse continues to spread.
Alexander's heart moved, and he asked for the address of the centralized ward, and then learned that the centralized ward was in a village on the back of a hillside five kilometers outside the city.
This place is very close to Copenhagen Castle, and because there is no grass growing there is no one visiting it. The most important thing is that it is not visible to the nobles.
Because the nobles originally did not agree to build a centralized ward near Copenhagen, until a noble became a patient with ichthyosis without any warning.
