The Kingdom of the Holy Land is divided into 7 major dioceses. Except for the special central parish, the other 6 dioceses are centered on the Holy Mountain of Kalunriel and are scattered around.
The carriage ran on the road between the hills at a very fast speed, and the wheels bumped along with the stones. Fortunately, its structure was strong and did not fall apart.
After Lorraine Hill came to this world, although he often drove a carriage, this was the first time he saw someone driving a carriage like this.
She hugged the doll in front of her, sat up slightly, and moved her back away from the shaking back of the chair.
There are only three people in the carriage at the moment, the 'Black Bull' is driving in front, the 'Make-up Artist' is looking in the mirror at the moment, and the 'Red Hat' opposite is pulling out the rapier hidden in the cane and wiping it carefully with a white cloth.
Although it was very light, Lorraine Hill still smelled a faint smell of blood.
Seeing Lorraine Hill looking at his stabbing sword in a daze, the captain in black uniform showed a standard smile.
"Does the 'Muppet Master' have any means of self-protection? Although you are not required to fight on the front line, I still want to know about the combat effectiveness of the team members in advance to avoid loopholes in the subsequent arrangements."
"Yixue will protect me." The girl replied, revealing the doll in her arms. The doll raised its head, with a flash of brilliance in its eyes, as if it were a living thing.
Necromancer Sequence 5? He estimated the strength of this girl and looked at her magic power fluctuations. She should be practicing the Necromancer Sequence. This is a good thing. If you encounter some recently dead targets in the future, you can try to summon the soul to ask for some information.
.
The doll in her hand must be her undead creation. It seems to be some kind of special ghost. This would save a lot of worry.
"Is this the first time for the 'Muppet Master' to go on a mission?" The 'makeup artist' on the side put down the mirror and asked the girl next to him.
"Yes." The girl buried her face in the doll in her arms.
"In this case, sister will have to take good care of you, giggle." This member who looked like a noble lady let out an exaggerated laugh.
Seeing that the blue-haired girl across from him remained silent, 'Red Hat' spoke.
"Don't be afraid. Although the 'make-up artist' smiles a little bit, he is a soft-hearted and gentle person."
The girl blinked in disbelief. People who laugh like this are usually the villains in the story.
Treating familiar people is fine, but traveling and completing tasks with complete strangers for the first time makes Lorraine Hill still a little nervous. She is not the kind of character who is familiar with others. Although she is called a sage
, but I have no real sense of it.
Having said so much, she is actually still a little bad at communication. It’s not that she’s afraid of being bullied by others, but that she doesn’t know what to say. If there’s something serious to say, she can talk to others about something serious, but if she’s asked to take the initiative to find a topic, then
It's a little difficult.
Looking at the girl sitting in the carriage like a large hamster, 'Red Hat' shook her head slightly. It seemed that this new member was a little shy. But this is not a bad thing. With a personality like hers, she should be more disciplined and would not
Acting without permission can cause all kinds of trouble.
Recalling the various teammates in previous missions, many of them were troublesome, but this time the teammates were much more reliable, which made him feel relieved.
The "Makeup Artist" has worked with him several times before and is quite reassuring, but the "Black Bull" is a rare warrior with both muscles and brains, with a meticulousness that belies his appearance.
As for himself...'Red Hat' secretly guessed that this mission must be very important, otherwise a few outstanding members would not be specially gathered together.
There are so-called specializations in the arts, and there are many people in the church who surpass the Adjudication Division in terms of combat prowess, but when it comes to special tasks, they are still the best at it.
Silence remained in the carriage, and only the sound of the carriage could be heard. The scenery outside the window gradually changed from dark green mountain forests to gentle fields, and patches of rye appeared on the side of the road, which is a characteristic product of the Dominican parish.
Although the yield is not as high as that of wheat, rye is cold-resistant and does not require high land requirements. Large areas of this crop are planted in the parishes south of the Holy Land.
"We're almost there, Eserut City." The 'makeup artist' said through the car window as he looked at the ring of city walls on the plain in the distance.
As a large city in the Dominican Diocese, it is relatively prosperous. There are about 100,000 people living in the city, and there are many villages in the surrounding areas, which cultivate land and support the city.
A small river flows down from the Baiya Plateau in the north, passes through the city, and winds to the west. Its end point is the Sunset Sea on the west side of the mainland.
An hour later, the four people entered the city in a carriage and found a quiet hotel.
After a simple dinner, 'Red Hat' called several other people to his room.
He took out a map and laid it on the table and began to explain the goals of this operation.
"This is the town of Merlin, which is located on the northwest side of the city of Esserut. We continue to move forward along the road, and after reaching the capital of Dominica further west, we turn back to create a route from the west to the Holy Mountain.
appearance."
"The beer in the town of Merlin is very famous in this parish. They hold a beer festival every year at the end of May. We happened to enter the town during the festival and join other tourists, so we will not arouse suspicion."
"After arriving in the town, we will tour normally for the first two days. First, we will familiarize ourselves with the environment, and then we will inquire about news and abnormalities."
"Try to work in pairs instead of alone."
"Although the target is an unintelligent phantom of chaos, this time it may not be a natural disaster but a man-made disaster. The reason behind daring to do such an act in the sanctuary may not be simple, and there may be a deeper underground organization."
"The reason why the Knights were not sent to directly exterminate it was because the senior officials wanted to follow the lead and find out the organization behind it."
"If we encounter an invincible opponent during the mission and cannot solve it with the strength of our team, we can directly ask for help from the Knights of the Dominion Parish. There are about three thousand Paladin Knights stationed there, which is enough to defeat any underground organization in the territory.
."
"Try to go out as little as possible in the past few days, and wear more simple clothes. After arriving at the capital of Dominica on the west side, change into the clothes you set."
Seeing a few people nodding and having a general understanding, he put the map away.
"Let's have a good rest now, and we will continue our journey tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, he removed the soundproof barrier that he had just released casually, and several people also left the room.
At night, Lorraine Hill slept in the same room as the 'makeup artist'.
After taking a bath, Lorraine Hill walked into the house wearing light blue pajamas. There were still some water drops on her hair, dripping between her collarbones.
After entering the house, she saw the makeup artist combing her hair. After taking off her makeup at night, the 20-year-old woman looked different from the day.
Compared with the publicity during the day, she is quieter at the moment, and her eyebrows and appearance are much softer.
"Good evening, Alice." She didn't look back and continued to take care of her hair.
"Good evening, put on makeup...Margaret." Remembering the setting during the day, Lorraine Hill changed his words and said the woman's pseudonym.
"Haha, are you still a little uncomfortable with it? This is true, after all, it's the first time." She turned around.
"Come sit here with me for a while. It's still growing tonight. If you go to bed too early, your hair will be deformed."
The orange candlelight roughly illuminated the room. Lorraine Hill walked to the bedside in slippers and sat down, looking at the woman who was arranging herself in the mirror.
The fair profile was divided by the shadows under the candlelight. Although he did not have a peerless appearance, there was a trace of pity for loneliness between his eyebrows.
