Chapter 604 The Light Has Not Died

"Is this the cannon used to bombard evil spirits?" From the first moment she boarded the White Sands, the girl was attracted by the long metal square tube on the bow deck - it looked so special, not so much that it was The barrel is more like the steel pillar used to build the machine.

"That's right." Xia Fan nodded.

"Can I see what it looks like inside?"

"That's not okay...it is Jinxia's top secret, and only officials from the Mechanism Bureau are qualified to have access to it."

"Really, it's a pity." Taxis smiled with a hint of regret.

Compared with the high-spirited appearance when she first entered the city, she was obviously much more haggard now. Her arms were wrapped in bandages, her hair was slightly dull, and there were dark circles under her eyes. It can be seen that the aftermath of the trial is not optimistic. Coupled with the changes in people's views on the church, the situation is even more complicated.

Xia Fan did not take her to the captain's room on the stern, but led her onto the front deck of the White Sand. The view here is wide, and you can have a panoramic view of the entire busy harbor area. Compared with a cup of elegant black tea with rock sugar, he felt that the sea breeze was more relaxing.

"How are your men?"

"It's not good." Taxis held on to the railing and looked towards the sea. "Six members of the trial team died and four were seriously injured. I have entrusted the Split Tooth family to send the injured to Sheila for treatment. I don't know if they can Hold on until then.”

"Where is the guardian knight?"

She shook her head.

Sure enough, Xia Fan thought to himself, even with a body as rough and fleshy as a dragon, if it breaks its wings and falls from the air, it will not escape misfortune.

"If it weren't for them, we wouldn't be able to get in front of the evil spirits."

"..." Taxis said after a moment of silence, "Are you comforting me?"

"You can understand it that way." Xia Fan spread his hands.

She glanced at him with some surprise, "It seems that my perception is indeed biased... None of the Easterners I have come into contact with before are as straightforward as you. There are also the new cannons on the ship and the attitude of the elves towards you. …I’m a little curious now about what changes happened on your side after the route was interrupted.”

"Is this what you are thinking of?" Xia Fan pretended to be helpless and said, "After resigning from the trial team, you will definitely be suitable to be a history and archaeologist."

"Thank you." She said suddenly.

The moment these words were spoken, Taksis's tone became very soft.

The two of them were silent for a while.

When she spoke again, it was dozens of breaths later, "I'm not here to complain to you. Although such a heavy loss is rare, the dragonborn who join the Tribunal are all ready to devote themselves to the church. You're not part of the church, so I don't want to bring any heaviness to the boat."

Xia Fan was noncommittal, "If you're here to say thank you, I think that's enough."

"Of course it's not enough. I said that the church will never treat anyone who is kind. The Sheila Holy Church has sent a formal invitation, asking you to go to the church headquarters to accept the award." Taxis took out a golden official letter from her arms , handed it to him, "Since you came to the Holy Wing Islands for the Holy Son of Hera, I guess there is someone waiting for treatment? Now, although the Son of the Holy Spirit has an accident, the church may be able to meet your request in other ways. ”

"You mean...other members of the Pope?" Xia Fan was slightly startled, "But I heard that Divine Blessing is a double-edged sword..."

"It seems that you are well prepared for this trip." Taxis took a deep breath and got out of the depressed state just now. "It is true that this magical spell will hurt yourself, but Hera's followers are good at resisting. Demonic erosion, combined with holy water baptism and confinement spells, can eliminate the erosion bit by bit. As long as we don't bear too much at once, the harm this technique will do to ourselves is completely controllable. After all, the Son of the Holy Spirit will also hold important positions in the church in the future, and we can't. Maybe we can rely on a group of sick people who have been destroyed by the evil spirit to lead the world?"

"It sounds like it will take a lot of time to eliminate the impact. Are there really church leaders willing to save people?" Xia Fan accepted the invitation, still a little doubtful in his heart.

"There is no precedent for this matter, but I will try my best to fight for you." At this point, Taxis's expression became more serious, "Your achievements are fully worthy of this reward, and the Pope also praised you highly in his reply. Therefore, the possibility of making an exception is not small. Even if it doesn't work, there are many good things in the church's treasure trove for rewards - such as magical amulets to prevent evil spirits from harming the body, and potions to extend life. "

It sounds pretty good.

Xia Fan thought in his mind that if the Church of Hera was willing to take action, there would naturally be no need for Feleyton to cooperate.

After all, prison robbery is not a good choice no matter how you look at it.

In addition, Olina wants to go to Shira to meet her brother, so it doesn’t hurt to take a trip to the capital.

"In that case, I would be disrespectful." He replied.

"As long as you are willing to accept it." Taxis' tone was a little lighter, "I have already said hello to the count. The White Sands can enter the inland waterway and head north at any time - it will not happen again this time. Someone is blocking you."

"This saves me a lot of time." Xia Fan put the golden official letter into his long sleeves, "I thought that the matter of the Son of the Holy Spirit and the gods would have a huge impact on you, but you don't seem to be deeply involved. in."

Her haggardness was more due to the busy day and injuries all over her body, but the look in her eyes was still there.

"If I also fall into confusion, wouldn't I be betraying the faith of those who are still willing to fight side by side with me at the last moment?" Takhisis leaned on the railing, looking at the workers who were working hard to rebuild in the dock area. "In fact, if you think about it carefully, the gods have only appeared in the world in the last hundred years. Before that, Hera's teachings have always existed. Everything we do is not meaningless. As long as the sun rises, the church will perform its duties until the last moment."

Xia Fan couldn't help but sigh. If all believers were as firm as she was, the evil demon's turmoil would probably end here. However, the truly dangerous enemy is not the evil demon, but the group of promoters hidden behind the scenes.

From attacking the parade to carefully choosing the arrival of the trial team, the other party's purpose is obvious.

Now that the church has finally revealed its flaws, how could they miss this opportunity?

The response of the Hira Church is the top priority.

Takhisis must be aware of this.

That's why she was so eager to invite him to the capital - from the church's perspective, the Eastern forces were equivalent to an outside force. If they could stand on the side of the church, they could more or less give the majority of anxious believers some confidence, and also curb the ambitions of the enemies.

However, the East and the West were separated by an endless sea, and how much effect her efforts would have, I'm afraid only the gods could answer.

Xia Fan thought about it, but finally didn't say these words.

At least at this moment, Takhisis still lived up to the name of the sun.

Even if it was dusk soon, he wanted this light to last longer.

Come on, it's even later today
