"I'm sorry, I don't believe in any gods, so I don't understand the call of the soul." kukas coughed a few times, then flipped the food on the grill to heat it evenly.
"The call of the soul has nothing to do with whether you believe in gods. You don't know these now, but I think one day you will know." the white robed priestess smiled and said to kukas. "Are you going to leave here? You know, although the desolate ice field looks extremely cruel, we are actually very comfortable here with the foundation laid by the mage. At least it's better than sending you to some battlefields to kill after you return to the Empire. You know, large-scale battlefield killing is very different from your previous killing. If you're not careful, you You may lie on the battlefield and never stand up. "
"The road is our own choice. I just want to tell you that after choosing our own road, I hope you don't regret it."
"I never regret it," kukas whispered, shrugging his shoulders. He had smelled the smell of barbecue, so he wanted to take the meat off the grill and eat it. Because he was not sure whether he would burn the meat if he continued to bake.
The end result was that the white priestess took over the food making project, and kukas began to eat as a guest.
After dinner, the white priestess returned to the church again with the heavy Scripture. She stood behind the altar in the church and recited the Scriptures seriously and devoutly. A trace of divine power fell around her from the void, as if the gods were praising her.
Looking at the straight body and holy face of the white robed priestess, kukas was in a daze for a long time before he turned and returned to his residence. He didn't understand why the priestess worked so hard for an illusory idea. He had to know that when a female professional wanted to become a bishop, cardinal and purple bishop, the effort and cost needed to be paid were dozens of times or even more than others.
He did not understand the belief of the white priestess, but it did not prevent him from admiring each other.
After returning to his room, kukas smeared some ointment on his body, then sat by the fire and began to practice fighting spirit. Every night he would practice fighting spirit while sleeping. He would not stop to sleep until the whole fighting space was unstable.
The next morning, after having breakfast, kukas planned to go out to continue his cultivation, but the black robed female mage stopped him and led her to her room.
"What? Miss me? We can do it at night." kukas whispered a strange smile. If he hadn't been afraid of being seen during the day, he would have rushed up and pressed the black robed female mage on the ground and began to knead it.
"It's snowing." the black robed female mage didn't answer kukas's words. She took off her hat and showed her curly blond hair. She stretched out her hand on both sides to pick up the white snowflakes. "On the barren ice field, it snows most of the time. In fact, I like it here too."
"Are you going to stay here forever like the priest?" after listening to the words of the female mage, kukas looked at the female mage strangely. He didn't expect the other party to have such an idea.
"Of course I won't stay here. I mean I will come here to have a rest when I have free time in the future. Well, if there is a library the same size as the imperial capital and all kinds of spell materials, maybe I will stay here." the black robed female mage shook her head and smiled. "By the way, what did you do with the priest last night?"
"Had dinner." kukas wondered why the other party asked him.
"Oh! The people sent by the Empire to replace us are already on the way, but they will arrive in Kent in three or five days." the black robed female mage calmly pointed out the surrounding houses. Her face looked a little pale, and she didn't know whether it was caused by the ice and snow or other reasons.
"So fast?" kukas looked at the female mage and asked, "how did you get the news? Is it accurate?"
"The lurk told me. You should know that only the lurk who is loyal to the military headquarters is most trusted. I don't know many things, but he knows." the black robed female mage folded her arms, turned her gorgeous scepter and continued to walk forward. "Several other people are with me. What we are discussing this time is how to ensure that the priests can survive here smoothly after we leave."
"I heard that she formed a church warrior, and how can we help her if we leave here? Damn it, she has no means of attack. Even a strong ordinary person can easily push her to. Especially if the so-called church warriors abandon their loyalty to her, it is even more unimaginable," he said later, Kukas obviously thought of some bad scenes. "Damn it, maybe I would have done it earlier." of course, he didn't say the last sentence.
"Don't worry. Those church warriors have been trained by the priest with secret methods. Their faith is stronger than that of the first believer she recruited. They will absolutely protect the safety of the priest," whispered the black robed female mage.
"I haven't seen those church warriors, but I don't know where they train. I want to fight them." kukas nodded. After listening to the words of the black robed female mage, he felt a little relaxed. Then the idea rose and wanted to see the strength of those church warriors.
The black robed female mage shook her head and said she didn't know where the church warriors were training. So kukas's idea was completely disillusioned.
During the conversation, they came to the residence of the black robed female mage. Of course, the residence was occupied by her and the priest in the past, but after the church was officially built, the priest moved to the church. Therefore, such a big house has become the world of the black robed female mage alone.
The living room was very large. There were rows of high backed armchairs around, on which sat several professionals: a priestess in a priest's robe, a black haired knight in heavy armor, and a looming lurk.
Kukas and their arrival did not attract much attention from the three people, but the black haired Knight waved his arm and greeted kukas and the black robed female mage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have three or five days to leave here and return to the Empire. Before we leave here, we must unify some things so that we can ask for more benefits from the military headquarters." the black robed female mage sits in the middle, because she is the strongest here, a third-order caster, It's not what kukas and their first-class professionals can resist.
"What are you talking about? I don't think the reward drawn up by the military headquarters will change," said the black haired knight, shaking his head.
"One of the most important orders given to us by the military headquarters was to find a way to build a huge town. When we came to the town, there were only more than a thousand people here, but now there are more than 30000 mobs, businessmen, mercenaries and more people here, and the number is increasing with the passage of time. I think all these are more than the military headquarters for us So that's our bargaining condition, "kukas shouted, touching his bald head. His voice was loud. Now he speaks loudly. Some people are not used to it in this huge room. Well, at least that's the priest and the lurk.
"As a member of the military headquarters, we are not qualified to bargain with the military headquarters." the latent person who rarely spoke suddenly made a cold voice and said so.
The black robed female mage frowned. She quickly turned her staff, then stared at the lurk and whispered, "don't forget, we have overfulfilled the task of the military headquarters, so we are qualified to ask for more benefits. I think you shouldn't object to anything in this matter, eh! You can't represent and convince us alone." while talking, A trace of mysterious power emanated from her, and then wrapped around the scepter in her hand, making the gem at the top of the scepter emit a trace of blue and faint cold light.
Silence, the lurk was silent, and his looming figure became more illusory. The black robed female mage just disdained her lips and didn't look at the lurk at all. Because in the female mage's view, the power of the other party now is all caused by the magic props on him, not the power of the lurk himself. Of course, these things kukas and they don't know. In kukas' understanding, the lurks who can always be hidden are either powerful or have special secret methods.
"Well, now it's time for us to talk about the safety of priests." kukas saw that the room became more and more dull, so he stood up and broke the boredom first. "Priest, do you really decide to stay here? You should know that your safety will be greatly challenged after we leave. After all, we don't know the specific situation of the people who will replace us. If they are not friendly to you, I'm afraid you can only suffer."
