Chapter 941 Clues
Now the three people who were originally planning to attack immediately chose to speed up dodge. As elites of the Intelligence Bureau, they were carrying various scrolls on their bodies. Nata immediately pulled out a shield scroll to tear them apart. As a result, the spell shield that had just appeared was shattered by the continuous spell impact in the blink of an eye. If she hadn't retreated quickly, she would have been completely overwhelmed by this round of spell attacks!
Because the spells were all aimed at Nata, Nora and Kayson successfully avoided it at this moment. But the figures in the distance did not give up. The light of the spell flashed again, and Nata's cloak was already torn apart in the impact. She turned her head and looked at it. In the smoke and snow mist that the spell exploded, those figures had already chased here, with extremely fast speed...
If they met ordinary soldiers, Nata and the other two would naturally have to fight back. They were not just intelligence personnel, but rangers and assassins with high combat skills. But as soon as the other party appeared, there was an uninterrupted spell attack. This momentum was obviously that at least seven or eight mages were besieging... In this case, the price of counterattack was too high, so Nata immediately shouted: "Run away! Then go directly to Elsa Village!"
"receive!"
"clear!"
Tifflin's running speed was much faster than Nata. After Nora and Kayson responded, they rushed to both sides on all sides with their limbs. Nata jumped horizontally, avoided another round of spell attacks, and then pulled Lengzi back and shot a burst arrow. The screams came, and the continuous spell attack finally stopped a little.
The "ranger"'s ability was fully utilized in this dense forest. Nata's escape speed was extremely fast under the complex terrain, but the mages behind her were not left far. This made Nata feel suspicious, but she knew that her primary goal was to leave with evidence, so she still gritted her teeth and accelerated, and even used a valuable bottle of "strong physical potion" - the pursuit lasted for more than half an hour before those pursuers were completely thrown away by Nata.
It was not that she had thought of turning around, but Nata knew very well that her primary task was to inform the information, so she always restrained her idea of fighting with the other party.
However, it was not until after the battle that Nata, who grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into her mouth, found that several wood chips were inserted on her thighs and waist. Although her leather armor had certain defense capabilities, it was not covered by the whole body. The power of the spell explosion just now was amazing, and the splashed wood chips also had a considerable lethality under the impact.
Nata reached out to get the emergency treatment potion she carried with her, but found that the potion had broken. She gritted her teeth and pulled out the fragments and simply bandaged it with the strip of the broken cloak.
He reached out and grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth. The cold snowflakes melted in his mouth. Nata tried hard to swallow the snow water, then gritted her teeth and walked forward...
*******
Five days later.
Outside the shrine of the "Moon God Cult", countless believers are praying to the white marble statues.
The image of the statue is a woman in an elegant robe. She has a beautiful appearance, a calm expression, and her arms spread out, as if she has a faint smile. It was another full moon night, and even though the outdoors were extremely cold, it still could not prevent these fanatical believers from praying and worshiping the moon god.
Pope Black returned to the warm room after presiding the beginning of the prayer ceremony. He wore a thick coat and drank warm ale in front of the fire, and talked with several deli subordinates about the events that were happening in the kingdom:
"This Prime Minister is still very capable. From a theoretical and operational perspective, the policies I read are more than better than those of Charles II at that time."
Black did not belittle the other party because of the previous war between the two sides. On the contrary, he had a high opinion of Roddy: "A few years of recovery, the national strength will definitely be much stronger than before. If the people are rich, there will be more believers..."
He pointed to the venison that was being roasted in the fire: "Joey, the heat is almost done, everyone cut it and taste it."
Eating roasted venison in this weather is indeed a pleasure for arcane scholars. Black will not be arrogant in such occasions. These people in front of him are the most reliable confidants. Although he is called "Holy Lord", in fact, everyone knows that this hat is just used to bluff people, and it is not true.
The arcane named Joey picked up a knife and cut the outer layer of meat that had been roasted until golden. While putting it on the plate, he smiled and said, "Lord, the doctrine you stipulated also says to keep vegetarian food!"
"No, these guys eat less meat. Wouldn't it be cheaper if we buy meat?"
Black's answer made everyone laugh. The "Moon God Cult" like other religions has many cumbersome doctrines. Among them, it is stipulated that believers can eat meat only three days a month, and the rest of the time can only be vegetarian - and if they become clergy like "priests", they must maintain the "vegetarian" precepts and cannot eat meat for their entire lives.
To the outside world, Black declared that all this was to make people more "pure" and reduce their murders to become the darling of the Moon God. At this moment, they only ridiculed those who really abide by the doctrine as fools.
Joey chewed the fragrant venison meat in big mouth and suddenly asked, "Lord, it's enough to think of these teachings? I feel that it's more difficult to explain some of the rules so clearly than to study arcane."
“How can I have time to study these.”
Black picked up the warm ale, took a sip and explained, "These things were actually written in a high elf note I've seen before."
“It happened during the high elves?”
The arcane sects next to them were all surprised. After all, arcane sects were absolutely mainstream during the High Elf period, and even the elemental genre was rejected, let alone "theism".
Black smiled and said, "Don't underestimate religion. High elves are not all arcane masters. Among the general public, there are actually not many high elves as dull as humans. Not only are there Moon God Sect, but there are even more than ten sects in the early stages of the high elves. However, in the era of arcane prosperity, only three or four have survived."
He ate two bites of venison and told the carefully listened subordinates in front of him: "The Holy Society has a scattered grasp of the information of the High Elf period. In fact, no matter how many books I collect, it is difficult to restore the true appearance of a complex era. The notes I took out from a ruin belonged to a 'priest'. In his mouth, the high Elf who learned arcane were all demons with distorted minds. Only by believing in the Moon God can one get liberation."
Every religion has such a saying, "The Cross of Viper and Rose Cross all claim to "Those who believe in me will have eternal life." These arcanes scoffed after hearing this. Black smiled and continued, "I suspect that the owner of this note is a standard crazy believer. In order to win over believers, we always use arcane to create some light and shadow to fool people, but this person in the note said that he had witnessed the 'miracles' with his own eyes."
Several arcanes looked at me and I looked at you, and then burst into laughter: "Indeed, if you don't do this, how can you be called a believer? If you tell lies ten thousand times, you will be a true believer if you believe them!"
Joey whirled the venison in the fire and sighed: "I said why do those prayers sound weird? It turned out to be translated from the High Elf."
"Yes, it's a hard work to rhyme as much as possible. So I didn't change the prayers they recite most often. Think about what these sentences mean."
After Black said this, several arcane masters immediately realized: "It turns out that the sentence is just a different sentence. If you change the sentence method, isn't it translated to 'Wish Stryan forever'?"
Stryan is the name of the Moon God. The believers in these nearby villages have begun to circulate this name day and night recently, but Black did not take His name at all. After the crowd happily ate the venison, he went back to his laboratory to continue studying the arcane. However, not long after, the Panda Arcanist who had been working outside suddenly announced that he would meet.
He cleaned up the test bench and turned his head to ask Panda who was entering the door: "What is the important news when you come so late?"
"Saint Lord...a mercenary has found a clue."
