Chapter 148, Confirming the Streets of Montauca City

"Goddess of Agriculture! Am I right?"

Priest Lothar Batal was still drunk and hazy just now, but as soon as he got up and looked at Kil, he felt as if he had been punched in the chin, and he stood up with his eyes wide open. He stared at Keir.

Keir raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was going to be blackmailed later. This kind of good deeds being blackmailed by the victims often happened in his previous life.

Can't tell at all.

Fortunately, this different world is not a logical world in many cases. It is based on physics.

"What, is something wrong?"

Kil's tone became cold as he faced the drunkard who looked at him in surprise.

However, Bloodfangster was an old man. After taking a closer look under the dim light in the tavern, he realized that this was not a drunkard, but a young priest of the god of agriculture.

The emblem of the god of agriculture is displayed on the front of the torso of the robe that the other party is wearing. Although it is a bit worn, you can tell by looking at the complex emblem of the god of agriculture embroidered with expensive gold thread, as well as the decoration sewn with silver thread on the collar and cuffs. This one is the real thing.

And if you are familiar with the clothing and decorations of various churches, you can also tell that the priest is a shepherd.

At this time, Bloody Fangster slightly tugged on Kil's clothes, and when Kil looked over, Wei Wei indicated with his eyes the identity of the other party's church.

But the priest's reaction was strange.

"There's something, there's something! Yes, yes, thank the great God of Agriculture and the great Lord. You are the person I am looking for! Right? Right?"

Priest Batal's expression of excitement actually confused the two of them.

"I am the person you are looking for? What do you mean?"

Keir pulled a chair from the side and moved up one, wanting to hear what the other party had to say.

Seeing Kil sitting down, Bloodfangster also found a chair and asked for two drinks of the kind he recommended from the bartender.

"Here, drink and talk, drink and talk."

Keir took the wine glass handed over by his friend, and after a little taste, he realized the beauty of this ale.

"Not bad! The one you recommended is pretty good. Come and try it."

Kil and Bloodfangster drank like this.

Priest Lothar Batal, who was left alone, finally regained some ability to think at this time. He poured some of the half-cup of wine in his wine glass onto his cuffs, wetted it and wiped it directly on his face.

"Huh, much better. What do you call this person?"

Priest Batal calmed down, but his breathing was still very rapid. He had been waiting anxiously for several days, and finally, the person arranged by the God of Agriculture finally arrived in front of him.

Keel looked at the other party's strange behavior, chuckled and said: "Joe Keel. A knight's squire from Kendall County in the Northwest Province. Where is this priest? Why are you so excited to see me? We haven't met him. Have you passed?"

Xueyaster also took a sip of his drink, thought for a moment and said, "Are you a priest of the god of agriculture? I am familiar with him locally, but I have never seen a priest of the god of agriculture of your age."

Priest Batal, who unconsciously showed a smile on his face, coughed lightly and began to introduce himself: "Both of you, my name is Lothar Batal. I am from the southern province of the kingdom, not the Saturnian priest of the Montauca diocese. However, I am indeed an official priest of Saturn with the position of shepherd, but due to some changes, I came here."

When talking about the accident, the smiling priest showed a lonely and sad expression on his face.

"Oh, what happened? Is it related to me?"

Keir looked amused. He had never been to the southern provinces before, so it seemed that something was coming to him.

Let’s hear it first.

"I was originally a priest stationed in the countryside by the Church of the God of Agriculture, in a place called Changmai Village. It used to be peaceful and peaceful. Although the taxes were a bit heavy, fortunately, there were good harvests of food year after year, and life was good."

"but."

Keir shrugged and said a but.

This sentence seemed to make him laugh, but the other two people present did not laugh.

"However, since the defeat of the war with neighboring countries on the southern border last year, the situation in the southern province has gradually become worse." With a heavy sigh, Priest Batal painfully recalled the night a few days ago.

Such and such, such and such.

Kil gradually stopped laughing. Of course, normal people would not be able to laugh when they hear such a story.

As the priest spoke, some people around him pricked up their ears or gathered around with wine glasses.

"It turns out that the southern provinces are in such chaos now."

"Isn't it? No wonder those refugees want to flee to us."

"It's all the fault of those useless nobles and useless troops in the south. They can't even defeat that small country in the south. It's really useless."

"Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you insulting the nobles, you will be imprisoned."

Keir's face became weird, because the other person's words became more and more outrageous.

"After arranging the children of the believers, I made a solemn and long prayer to my god. The god responded to me. He told me that when I come here, wander among the taverns in Montoka City, I will wait for Him. A person was arranged to save the people of Changmai Village. The redemption and punishment were all completed by that person."

Keir raised his eyebrows and pointed at himself: "Am I the one who came?"

He and Bloody Fangster looked at each other: "Why didn't I know that I was the one arranged by the gods? No one told me?"

Xueyaster didn't know what to say, so he could only drink in embarrassment.

Everyone around looked at the young Kiel, who was only in his teens and less than 20 years old, with surprised expressions.

Kil was not wearing armor today because he had to go into the city, so he changed into casual clothes and put on a thin windproof cloak. The weapon is not carrying a cross-water head or a long sword for hunting, which is too conspicuous.

He just picked an ordinary steel sword from the weapon rack in the dream, which he didn't know when he got it. He also brought a dagger and a set of hand crossbows. With such a 'simple' arm, he walked with Bloodfangster. Walk from the military camp outside the city to the city of Montoka.

His appearance was not very good, so the onlookers around him were not very optimistic about the 'comer' chosen by the god.

"Not very good?"

"That's right, he doesn't even have any armor, there's mud on his boots, and he doesn't even have a horse."

"I'm going to be disrespectful. Could it be that the God of Agriculture has made a mistake?"

Kil rolled his eyes: "Then I'm really sorry for disappointing everyone. Haha."

With an awkward smile, Kil chuckled and drank down the high-quality ale in his hand: "Let's go, Ste. I've heard the story, it's very interesting. Let's go somewhere else?"

After speaking, Keir hurriedly squeezed through the crowd of onlookers, and the two of them walked out of the unknown pub after paying the bill.

Priest Batal ignored the unfinished drink and hurriedly pushed his way through the crowd, chasing the two of them.

As soon as the excitement was gone, the people around gradually dispersed.

-

"Wait, wait. Ki, Kier warriors, please wait."

Kil turned around and stopped, crossed his arms and looked at Priest Batal who was chasing him: "The story is very tragic, and I believe it may have happened, but let me say it first, I am not some jobless adventurer. I have responsibilities and duties as a person.”

He raised his hand and gestured in the direction of the military camp outside the city: "As I said before, I am from Kendall. There is our expeditionary army from Kendall County outside the city. Although my position is not high, I also have forward reconnaissance. Responsibilities.”

Keir shrugged: "For your question, maybe we can spend money to find a group of desperadoes or mercenaries, and let those people rescue the abducted villagers. If they are still alive."

Bloodfangster also shrugged, and Kil finished speaking. He had nothing to say.

"Sorry, no one can accept it when I say this suddenly, right? But please believe me, as a priest, all this is true. The great God of Agriculture did arrange for you to find me, no, it should be me who found you .”

Priest Batal sighed, hoping that the wait would be so difficult and that it would come so unexpectedly, he was very nervous at this time.

Afraid that all hope would be ruined by his clumsiness.

"You said that Kiel is the one who came. How can you prove it? And why do you think that he is the person you said? And not someone else?"

Bloodfangster hits the nail on the head with the key issue of spending.

"Yes! As soon as we met just now, you thought I was the person you were looking for. How did you judge?"

After Priest Batal breathed nervously for a while, he looked at Kil with stern eyes. After scanning up and down, he nodded solemnly again: "Yes, it's you. Because we searched the entire city of Montoka, But there is no one else who is not a priest of the god of agriculture, but his whole body is filled with the powerful power of the god of agriculture."

Keir's eyes widened and he pointed at himself, and then at the pedestrians around him.

"Can you see it? Just use your eyes?" Kil asked in surprise.

Priest Batal looked at Kil with a strange expression, as if it wasn't so.

Keir slapped his forehead with his hand and muttered: "I know it, I know it, the benefits never come in vain."

Bloodfangster asked Kil in a low voice what was going on, and Kil told his companions in a low voice that the young priest who was accompanying the army, when he was fighting the harpy monster, took away a large number of agricultural weapons that the opponent carried with him. The divine power was poured into him.

"The original seed of virtual divine power in my body sprouted because of this, and the divine power circulated throughout my body."

Bloody Fangster looked surprised, and then looked envious.

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Keir replied casually: "I thought it was a good thing before, but now I can't tell for sure."

He curled his lips and turned to Priest Batal who had been waiting aside: "This priest."

"Just call me Priest Batar. Lothar is fine too. Warrior of Kiel."

Seeing the change in Kil's tone, Priest Batal immediately said.

"So, Priest Batal, I may be the 'comer' you are waiting for. But I don't have much time to help you save the villagers now, although I do have the idea of ​​doing good things. But after all, I have a position in our army, and where I go and what I do is not something I can decide at will. At least I have to get the consent of my teacher, Knight Dodel Crow, and the commander of my army: Baron Kendall."

Kil's words made Priest Batal look nervous.

"That's it. Can you give me a chance to meet the two adults? I believe they will agree to my request. After all, this is related to the lives and future of hundreds of villagers."

Keir looked embarrassed. He didn't think he could really save hundreds of villagers by himself. He couldn't even name the hundreds of militiamen in the army.

But he knew that he had already received the benefits from the gods in advance, and this matter was arranged by the God of Agriculture. Maybe, maybe, probably, the two adults would really agree to this matter.

After all, Kiel's role isn't really as important as he says.

"Okay, okay. You can ask me. It doesn't matter to me. It's actually a good thing to be able to save the trapped villagers."

Kil sighed heavily and shrugged at Bloody Fangster: "So, I won't be able to visit this big city today. It's a pity."

"Haha, actually, Montaoka City is not that big, it's just an ordinary big city. You will definitely have the opportunity to come back in the future."

Bloodfangster smiled.

"That's true. So, Priest Lothar Batal, are you returning to the military camp with us? It may take a while. The adults have gone to the local viscount's house to pay their respects. It is estimated that you will not come back until the evening."

Priest Batal was about to agree, but his nose immediately became sensitive and he smelled the smell of alcohol and other smells on his body.

"I have to go back to the church to clean myself up first. Can you two go back with me? Wait a minute. I will change my clothes and wash myself soon."

Kil shrugged: "Okay, at least I can drink good wine this time and visit the local Church of Saturn."

After saying that, the three of them walked towards the Church of Saturn in the local parish.

Priest Batal walked hurriedly in front, while the two of them, Kiel, walked behind and talked about the bustling and wealthy street scenery along the way.

-

The building of the Church of Saturn in Montauca City was built in the central area of ​​the city. It is separated from several other churches of God in the surrounding area by streets, but they are all gathered together and can be regarded as a local religious area.

Others still in the city center include an inner-city castle with a large number of soldiers stationed there, contiguous noble manors, and many streets where knights live together.

In addition, there are several streets where the most popular government offices are located, where the city agencies that manage the entire city of Montauca are located.

Compared with other directions, the parish is less lively. In other words, as long as you walk in here, you can feel a sense of calm through the decoration of trees and buildings on the street.

This is not just because it is very quiet here. Keir took a deep breath and felt the fragrance of flowers from the many decorative plants around him, which made people feel calm and comfortable.

Unlike the narrow streets in other parts of the city, the streets in the parish were wide enough for seven or eight carriages to travel on them at the same time.

Tall pitch pines stretch their branches on both sides of the street, and under the trees are beautiful flowers that are common in spring. Clusters are pruned and cultivated by specially trained people.

When the three of them walked through the street where the Church of the Sun God was located, both sides of the street were decorated with intricately carved stone pillars, with large pieces of white rock fixed on the towering stone pillars.

According to Xueyaster, at night, the white stones at the top of this row of stone pillars will emit bright light.

The whole street will be as bright as day at night. It is not visible during the day, but at night, it is very lively.

Priest Batal just smiled at this.

When they walked through the street where the Church of the God of Animal Husbandry was located, the style of the street changed again.

Tall horse stone sculptures stood on both sides of the street. Each horse was carved with lifelike appearance. If it weren't for the stone appearance, Keir would have thought that these were real horses.

He curiously took a closer look and found that under each horse sculpture, there was a detailed description of the horse's legendary experience in Common Chinese.

Bloody Fangster knows this very well, because of his previous work relationship, he had a lot of dealings with the Church of the God of Animal Husbandry.

"These are the war horses of heroes in history, and of course there are many other famous horses. This is the Pegasus Peter. Legend has it that it was the one who dispelled the crisis of celestial eclipse tens of thousands of years ago and drove away the darkness that shrouded the earth. But at that time We humans are not there yet, so it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with us.”

He then pointed to other sculptures: "This is the war horse Oututai with dragon blood. It is the mount of our first magic emperor. "

After a brief introduction, Blood Fangster pointed to the last statue on the street: "Hey, this is the sculpture of the 'Old Overlord'. Although it is not the mount of the heroes, it is at least the most famous local horse, and it is still alive. , it’s hard to say what famous achievements he will have in the future.”

Gere noticed that under all the statues, in addition to the legendary origins of the horses, there was also the name of a sculptor.

Moreover, all the sculptors were the same person, and he, Kiel, had actually met this sculptor.

Because the sculptor is their well-known sculptor Leanne Hude in Kendall County.

"This sculptor, the one who carved these horse sculptures, Master Lianehude, is from Kendall County. I even talked to this old master because of work last year!"

As soon as Keir said this, the other two were taken aback.

Bloodfangster was very interested in this and quickly asked about Master Li Anhude's situation.

When I heard that this master was still seeking to explore the skills of stone carvings and sculptures even in his old age, I couldn't help but sigh that the master was a master, far beyond what ordinary people like them could compare with.

Then he said that if he, Bloodfang, had achieved such an achievement, he would have been addicted to fame and adulation long ago.

"Haha, you are right, we ordinary people are like this. Is this also the reason why people can achieve such achievements?"

-

After passing through the street of the Church of the God of Animal Husbandry, we came to the street where the Church of the God of Animal Husbandry is located.

The environment here has changed again. The street size has not become narrower, but there are more big trees and decorated flower beds on both sides of the street.

Kil took a deep breath and smiled with satisfaction.

The mixed floral scent is so delicious.
