At the lively banquet, the surrounding atmosphere was busy.
But in the corner of this banquet, it seemed very quiet.
Adil chatted quietly with the priestess in front of him, and slowly learned the details of the dark church's appearance that day.
According to the self-introduction of the female priest in front of her, the Dark Church's action to prevent Gruul from returning to the royal capital was not the original intention of the bishops of the Dark Church, but was just the spontaneous action of some radical priests within the church.
"In the kingdom, the church has been suppressed for so long that there is great dissatisfaction within the church. In the end, it was the temptation of some promises that led to this action."
Standing there, chatting quietly with Adier, the priestess named Hilna sighed softly, turned to look at Kudoni and Gruul in the center of the field: "For this reason, Bishop Kudoni
That’s why I came here in person to take this opportunity to personally express my apology to His Highness Gruul and convey the true attitude within the church.”
Adil's face was calm, and he just remained silent as he listened to Sirna's words, without any comment.
Speaking of which, this banquet was nominally held for Adier, but now, it has completely changed.
The meeting between Bishop Cudoni and Prince Gruul was enough to attract the attention of most of the nobles present, drawing their attention to the center of the stage.
As for Adier, although there are many people paying attention, there are even many noble ladies lifting their skirts and wanting to come here, but after seeing Sirna in front of Adier, they hesitated.
It stopped, making this area seem very quiet.
Adil enjoys this quiet atmosphere.
Because of his early experience and being a wizard who spent a long time in a laboratory for research, he prefers quiet situations. Even if a lively situation is not considered a banquet, it will still be very troublesome in his heart.
The Hilna in front of me was also similar.
Along the way, some people came to invite her to the dance from time to time, but the priestess kept smiling from beginning to end and declined everyone's invitations. It seemed that she was also a person who didn't like the excitement.
They chatted here for a long time, until after a while, when it got a little late, Adil nodded, looked at the priestess in front of him and said: "It's getting late, I'll go back and rest first."
"Okay." The priestess smiled and nodded: "It was a pleasure chatting with you. I hope to see you again next time."
"I hope so." At her words, Adil just smiled, then waved his hand, his face returned to calm, and he walked straight out.
Silently watching Adil's retreating figure, Hilna said nothing, just watching quietly, with a calm smile in her eyes and expression.
It wasn't until Adil's figure disappeared completely that she moved her arms and shook the little girl lying aside.
"Wake up, everyone is gone."
"I'm so sleepy, sister Hilna, let me sleep for a while."
The little girl shook her head and lay down on the big sofa on the side, with drool on her mouth. Hilna looked a little speechless and couldn't help but continue shaking her to wake her up.
Looking at the sleepy little girl rolling on the ground, Hilna covered her mouth and smiled, and couldn't help but look in the distance in the direction where Adil left.
“What an interesting person.”
"interesting"
On the way home, thinking about the conversation he had just had with the female priest, a smile appeared on Adil's calm face, as if he had discovered something interesting.
That girl was very special, Adil discovered this when he first met her.
It's not the appearance, nor the temperament and strength, but the transcendent and unique nature, and the sense of burden that seems to hide something.
Just like Adir.
This unique feeling aroused interest in both parties' hearts, so they could talk there for a long time without any violation.
"It is indeed the strongest world I have encountered so far. Although it is not as good as the ordinary world on the surface, it is actually terrifying everywhere."
While walking on the road, Adil couldn't help but think of this idea again.
This world seems to be very weak on the surface. The strongest person in the Kingdom of Tamru is nothing more than gold and is equivalent to a second-level wizard.
With this kind of strength, not to mention the wizarding world, even the several worlds that Adil has visited before, are far stronger.
But beneath this frail appearance, what this world hides is deep terror.
There was Orff in front of him and Hilna in the back. The mere presence of these two people made Adil feel wary.
These two people look ordinary, but in fact they are transcendent in nature. Once their terrifying inner nature breaks out, they will probably not be much inferior to Adil's true form.
Orff belongs to the God of Slaughter, and Hilna belongs to the God of Darkness, so will other churches have similar monsters?
What's more, in addition to these monsters, there are also gods who are said to be high in the clouds, immortal for hundreds of millions of years, and holding high the Kingdom of God.
"It's really interesting."
Inexplicably, Adil smiled, then raised his head and looked at the sky.
Above the sky, because night had come, the entire sky was dark, except for the full moon, which was very bright and emitted a faint silver light.
The radiance spread across the earth and shone on Adier's body, as if covering him with a layer of silver frost, making his whole person's temperament appear more peaceful, profound and sacred.
After a while, he left this place and walked towards his residence in the outside world.
At the moment he left, inside the manor, Kudoni looked thoughtfully in the direction of Adil, and then continued to have a smile on his face the next moment, and continued chatting with Gruul in front of him.
, looking very happy for a moment.
That night, after the banquet was over, in the dark church.
Kudoni's face was old, his aging face looked full of wrinkles, and his aura was full of decay, as if he could be buried at any time.
But despite this, his movements are still very agile, completely different from those of ordinary old people. His movements are wide open and close, even more intense than some young people jumping up and down.
He changed into a robe. The previous sacrificial robe had been replaced by him because it was tainted with the smell of alcohol. He walked into the depths of the church and waited in a somewhat dim room.
"How's the observation going?" A voice suddenly sounded.
"I don't know." Kudoni shook his head. He was not surprised at all by the sudden sound. He just shook his head and said in confusion: "That Prince Gruul has very little potential. He can't even reach the Silver Knight now. With his
Considering my age, I’m a bit shaky.”
"The protagonist on the stage may not be the youngest, and his temporary potential doesn't mean anything."
"I know." Kudoni nodded: "But this at least proves that the possibility of Prince Kudoni being the protagonist of the stage has been greatly reduced."
"It's the Yasuo knight next to him."
"What's wrong?" The voice inside continued, and then a slight sound of broken footsteps slowly came.
At the end of the room, a middle-aged woman wearing a dark black robe and a simple face walked over. She looked at Cudoni expressionlessly, as if waiting for his answer.
"I can't see through it." Kudoni shook his head: "This knight is very powerful. He has reached the peak of the Silver Knight. He is only a little short of being promoted to the Golden Knight and becoming the strongest person in the entire Tamru Kingdom.
one."
"There is no doubt about his potential, but I cannot see through his true nature."
"Even if you hold the Eye of Dimness?"
"It's good that the Eye of Darkness is an artifact left behind by our lord, but its greatest power is protection rather than detection. What's more, now that the Eye of Darkness has fallen into silence, I don't have enough power to activate it. It's normal that I can't see through it."
Cudoni shook his head, with some helplessness on his face. When he thought of the scene he had used the artifact to spy on, there was still some confusion in his eyes: "However, his fate line is much stronger than ordinary people. No,
It is limited to this place, but there is a bigger stage.”
"He may not be the protagonist on the stage, but he may be a supporting role."
"That's not bad."
The middle-aged woman in a dark black robe mused: "How can it be so easy to meet the protagonist of destiny? Even if you just meet a supporting role, it is a rare gain."
"Also, take good care of the young people in the church."
She turned around and raised her head, with some dissatisfaction in her eyebrows: "Before we gave the instructions, we felt that it would be too bold to directly participate in the full-scale dispute within the kingdom."
"Especially at this critical time"
"After all, they are all a group of young people." Kudoni shook his head, but there was no dissatisfaction on his face, just a smile: "They have not experienced the dilemma when we were in desperation and couldn't even find a place to stay.
Having not experienced the crisis that year when the entire church was almost destroyed, naturally our thoughts would be more naive and our methods more immature."
"However, it is precisely because of the existence of these young people that the world will continue to move forward and slowly begin to complete changes, instead of being so dead."
"That's true." As if remembering something, the middle-aged priestess nodded expressionlessly: "It's just that at this time, the actions of these young people are somewhat inappropriate. If they continue like this, it will inevitably delay the entire church.
Plan to greatly extend the time limit for my Lord’s return.”
"Don't worry." Kudoni nodded: "I will pay attention and won't let this happen again."
"As for that Yasuo knight, I need to send some priests there to observe closely."
"Who should be sent there?" asked the middle-aged female priest.
"Silna is a very suitable student for you." Kudoni smiled and said naturally.
