Chapter 953 Andersa with a Headache

Gawain and others were sent out of the hall of the upper temple, and the high-level dragon priest Heragor personally sent them to the door, and then two priests who were also wearing luxurious robes walked out of nowhere and led them to the place. The road leads to the connecting long bridge of the lift.

The first half of the journey was extraordinarily quiet. It seemed that the solemn atmosphere in the temple still had a residual influence, or Amber and Veronica felt that this place was still under the watchful eye of the god, and they were cautious and did not dare to speak freely, but Halfway through, Amber finally couldn't bear it anymore. She glanced at the dragon priest who was leading the way in silence, like two tool men, and then secretly poked Gawain's arm: "Hey, do you think it's a little strange..."

Gao Wen glanced at her: "What's so strange?"

"Why don't we talk about this all of a sudden..." Amber whispered cautiously, "I always feel that the Dragon God still has a lot to say... And he also specifically emphasized that we should visit Tallond first... "

"Since he let him visit, wouldn't it be good for us to visit?" Gawain said indifferently, "As for whether he has something he wants to say but doesn't say...that's his business."

Amber blinked, looked at Gawain, and then looked back at the temple that was still magnificent under the stars, with a thoughtful expression on his face that quickly gave up thinking.

She patted her cheeks and seemed to quickly put the confusion in her mind behind her head, while muttering, "Hey... I always feel like it's night, I can't help but feel sleepy..."

Gawain's pace slowed down a bit, he glanced at Amber, and saw that the half-elf was energized, and as usual he had a smile that seemed to be always giggling.

...

"My lord," Heragor returned to the splendid temple hall, bending down in front of the god, "they have left."

"You seem to have accumulated a lot of questions?" Enya had returned to the re-appearing Holy Seat in the center of the hall. He looked down at his priest, "Don't be cautious today, just say what you want to say."

Heragor looked up and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "My lord, why did you talk to them about... 1.87 million years ago? Such a secret ancient knowledge should not be in the plan. …”

"There is some ancient and secret knowledge that gods keep secret from mortals because mortals can't bear it, but after seeing today's guests... I found that I might be able to say more," the god's voice came leisurely, with a little joy , "I thought only that 'Gawain Cecil' was special, but I didn't expect all three of them to be special. Listeners are not as easily 'damaged' as ordinary mortals, which is very pleasing to me."

Having said this, he paused,

Then he sighed: "I haven't talked to people so easily for a long time... So I'm looking forward to the next solo meeting with that 'Gawain Cecil'."

Herragol raised his head unexpectedly: "Next time you want to meet that human king alone?"

"The ghosts that have survived for thousands of years are only ghosts after all. The wanderer who crossed the border from the dreamland and entered the present world is essentially just a resident of the shadow world, but an 'uninvited guest' disguised as an ordinary human who even I can't understand... It's much more interesting," said the god calmly. "Next time I'm going to talk to him alone, and by the way I'd like to know what's interesting about him after seeing all the details of Tallond with his own eyes. new view.

"Hragol, then the job of accompanying the guests will be handed over to the young blue dragon. You only need to pay attention to the movements of the guests and ensure their safety. If it is not necessary, you don't need to disturb them."

Herragol lowered his head again: "Yes, my lord."

The dragon god Enya hummed briefly, and then he suddenly raised his head, his eyes turned in the direction of Loren Continent, and his face became a little serious.

"So soon..." He sighed softly and said to himself, "Fortunately... it hasn't exceeded expectations..."

...

After the foggy moon approached, the temperature in most parts of the northern part of the continent dropped rapidly, and the Winter Wolf Fort, located on the northern border of the empire, bore the brunt. The cold wind from the north crossed the gentle hills and plains, and blew all the way across the wilderness. Yuhe Valley began to roar and harass the highlands and passes where the Knights were stationed day and night, as if overnight, everything in this pass had withered, the grass and trees were withered and yellow, and the breath of winter came to the earth.

Andersa Wendell was wearing a light and warm knight's uniform. She walked through the streets of the market with only two entourage. The cold wind blew her gray-white hair on the sideburns, causing her to narrow her eyes slightly.

"It's a little early this winter..." The wolf general said softly, "I don't know if the area around Greenwood River Valley and Longbranch Manor has been affected..."

An attendant responded immediately: "The imperial grain depot has been abundant for these years, and the supply of cotton and cloth has been sufficient in the past two years. Presumably, except for the mountainous areas in the west near the polluted area, there is no need to worry about how to spend the winter."

Andersa didn't say anything, just nodded, and on a city street not far in front of her, a small personnel carrier with the emblem of the Typhon Empire was running over the street, and the war mages escorting the vehicle were floating on the road. Before and after the troop car, the merchants on both sides of the street were inevitably disturbed, and then some curious passers-by stretched their necks, watching the direction of the troop car leaving, and another merchant began to recruit customers again, selling from the south to the north. exotic goods.

This year's winter did come a little earlier, and even the temperature in the same period this year was much lower than in previous years. However, in this half-military and half-civilian town built on the Fortress of Winter Wolf Castle, everything seemed to be lower than in previous years. It will be more prosperous and lively.

The stabilizing peace between the two countries and the expanding trade activities are finally showing its influence, whether the hawks like it or not, merchants and goods across borders are increasingly appearing everywhere, Become the main theme of the relationship between Cecil and Typhon.

Even in this important frontier, Winter Wolf Castle, even if the imperial soldiers are always on their nerves, they can't stop the commercial activities of the people from prospering day by day - after all, this is also the will of Aldenan.

As the commander of Winter Wolf Castle, Andersa, although she did not expect all of this, must now accept it calmly.

"It's been a lot more lively here this year, General," said an entourage nearby, "and according to the news from the country, big cities like Aldenan and Tarenkins are even more different now - it is said that The companies that the Cecil people have invested in bring a lot of novelties, are you planning to go back this year?"

"I'm not going to use up this vacation," Andersa said casually, and then she glanced at the entourage who just said, "Are you also interested in the new things of the Cecil?"

The entourage suddenly showed an embarrassed and nervous look: "I... General, I am not this..."

"It doesn't matter, the new things they bring are really attractive, and most of them are beneficial." However, to the surprise of the followers, Andersa didn't mean to blame, the wolf general just showed a thoughtful look, "I just regret...None of these things were originally created by us Typhons."

She looked in the direction of the street. On both sides of the street, which had just been renovated last year, she could see new street lamps and magic net devices for transmitting energy. These technologies all came from Cecil, and they were first used by businessmen and technology communicators. It was brought to Typhon from Cecil, and then brought here from the country by merchants and experts from the country. These things are evidence of the growing bond between the two countries, with some rejoicing, others unavoidably anxious.

As far as Andersa knows, those magic net devices used to transmit energy are one of the things that worries domestic experts the most, because up to now, one of the key raw materials for making those obelisks - the rough Holm crystal - still It is firmly in the hands of the Cecilians, although the scholars of the Imperial Workers Association have successfully cracked many technical difficulties of the obelisk, but as long as the source of the Holm crystal is controlled by the Cecilians, the Typhon The magic net will never be completely autonomous, and the speed of laying the magic net will be limited by the Cecilites' export quota of rough crystals, and Typhon...

Typhon had to spend a large portion of his annual export profits to buy those rough crystals—a commodity the Cecils never discounted.

It is said that His Majesty the Emperor is already paying attention to this matter, and after learning of the discovery of the rough crystal of Hom, he sent a large number of exploration teams to the mountainous area on the border of the western polluted area to find the Hom lode belonging to the Typhons... There hasn't been any definite good news from those exploration teams yet.

Hope they get something.

As for Andersa herself... In the face of more and more "Cecil things" in the country, she is neither a joyful person nor an anxious panic person.

She only followed Aldenan's orders and defended Typhon's interests.

At this moment, the voice of one of the followers came from the side, interrupting Andersa's thoughts: "The one who just passed should be the supplementary soldiers of the Mechanized Mage Chapter?"

Another entourage looked at the end of the street, in the direction where the troop carrier was leaving, shook his head and sighed: "The mages are all rich, and even the mages in the army are the richest troops... ...the knights are still riding."

"His Majesty the Emperor and his military advisors have their own arrangements," Andersa said suddenly, interrupting the discussion between the two followers, "and the fact that the Knights did not change clothes is not a matter of funding - it's just that most of the legion-level battles All techniques rely on traditional military formations and equestrianism, which cannot solve this problem, and letting the knights sit in the chariot will only weaken their combat effectiveness."

The two attendants nodded immediately, and then one of them couldn't help but look into the distance - this time in the direction of the barracks: "This is the second batch of additional soldiers this week."

"...The war priest is receiving 'protective observation', and some knight officers have also been rotated ahead of time. We need to replenish our soldiers to maintain the combat effectiveness of Winter Wolf Castle..." Andersa frowned slightly, then shook her head. , "Well, the following topics are not suitable for discussion here."

The abnormal situation of the Church of God of War in China is already a secret that cannot be concealed. Out of obvious national interests, Aldernan has recently issued several orders in a row, making temporary adjustments to several main legions. In Winter Wolf Castle, Andersa's main focus recently has been on adjusting the deployment of the legion, transferring hidden units, maintaining the internal stability of the legion, and consolidating the frontier defense. She had to transfer many God of War priests and devout soldiers who had followed her from birth to death for many years, and even sent some upright and innocent knights to the rear, called protective observation, which was actually close to house arrest.

Doing these things is not easy.

In addition to facing the pressure in her heart, she also had to face the emotions from her subordinates—soldiers can say that the soldiers of the empire take obedience to orders as their first mission, and knights can say that they only need honor and loyalty to them. Come to enlighten and comfort, but those priests...

Most of them were good people, brave and upright good people, and they didn't do anything wrong at all, and she had to make them suffer unfair treatment. At the same time, those priests are not completely soldiers. The battle priests are equivalent to the "rescue soldiers" that the Church of God of War voluntarily supports the various legions of the empire. They accept the orders of the officers, but now this order is vaguely targeting their beliefs... to appease them Emotions have become the most troublesome thing for Andersa recently.

And that's not all the bad news recently.

The second big bad news is the fall of the goddess of magic.

Andersa still can't believe what she has seen and heard in the past period of time - a funeral, a funeral for a god, a joint statement of the two empires, written by each of the two emperors. The eulogy, the national mourning activities, and the ceremony of spreading "holy ashes"... Andersa is not a believer, but these things are still beyond her cognition and thinking habits, so that even today, she is thinking about It still feels unbelievable when this happened.

The fall of the goddess of magic has undoubtedly had a great impact on the large number of mages in the empire, although that "funeral" quickly diverted the public's attention in some unexpected way, alleviating the pressure brought by the fall of the god , but the mage group is still floating, and the aftermath has not disappeared until now. There are a large number of battle mages in the major legions of the empire. Most of the middle and high-level officers are believers of the goddess of magic. Although their military status gives them a stronger sense of responsibility, they will not be unable to fulfill their responsibilities due to depression or belief shakes. , but they are still human after all...

The only thing Andersa is happy about now is that the impact of the Battle Mage troops in the fall of the gods was actually smaller than she expected-because except for the middle and high-level officers, most ordinary Battle Mage and lower-level officers The commanders are not followers of the Goddess of Magic, not even shallow believers.

They were cultivated in batches from schools by the Empire - training from childhood, unified template and unified curriculum, completely practical training methods, and almost no courses in belief-building.

These batch-trained battle mages have no feeling for the goddess of magic, which made Andersa feel the only comfort after a headache recently, and she even had some thoughts that might be a little rebellious to outsiders——

If religious beliefs can be completely eliminated from the army, it may be a good thing instead. Let God return to God and people return to people, and the troubles in this world will probably be reduced by half.
