Chapter 941 Clues

The three who were planning to attack immediately chose to speed up and dodge. As the elite of the Intelligence Bureau, they all carried various scrolls on their bodies. Nata immediately pulled out a shield scroll and tore it open. As a result, the spell shield that had just appeared was shattered by the continuous attack of spells in the blink of an eye. If it wasn't for her If you retreat quickly, you may be completely overwhelmed by this round of magic attacks!

Because the spells were aimed at Nata, both Nora and Kaisen managed to avoid it at this moment. But those figures in the distance didn't give up, the light of the magic spell flickered again, Nata's cloak was torn apart by the impact, she turned her head and looked, in the smoke and snow fog blown up by the spell, those figures had already moved towards this side After chasing it, the speed is extremely fast...

If they encountered ordinary soldiers, Nata and the three would naturally turn around and fight. They are not pure intelligence personnel, but rangers and assassins with high combat skills. But as soon as the opponent appeared, there was a continuous attack of spells. This kind of momentum is obviously at least seven or eight mages besieging... In this case, the cost of counterattack is too high, so Nata immediately shouted: "Scatter and run! Then go back to Elsa directly village!"

"receive!"

"clear!"

Tiefling's running speed was much faster than Nata's. After Nora and Kaisen responded, they landed on all fours and rushed to the sides at high speed, while Nata jumped sideways, dodged another round of magic attacks, turned around and shot a shot A bursting arrow—the scream came, and the continuous magic attack finally stagnated a little.

The skill of the "Ranger" was brought into full play in this dense forest. Nata's escape speed was extremely fast under the complex terrain, but the mages behind her were not left far behind. This made Nata suspicious, but she knew that her primary goal was to leave with the evidence, so she still gritted her teeth and continued to speed up, even at the expense of using a bottle of "powerful physical potion"—this chase continued It took more than half an hour before those pursuers were completely shaken off by Nata.

It's not that she didn't think about turning around and fighting, but Nata knew very well that her first task was to convey information, so she always restrained the idea of ​​fighting the opponent.

But it wasn't until after the battle that Nata, who grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into her mouth, realized that there were several pieces of sawdust sticking out of her thighs and waist. Although her leather armor has certain defensive capabilities, it doesn't cover her whole body. The power of the spell explosion just now was astonishing, and the splashed wood chips also had a lot of lethality under the impact

Nata reached for the emergency treatment medicine she carried with her, but found that the medicine had been shattered. She gritted her teeth and pulled out the fragments, and simply wrapped them with the cloth strips of the broken cloak.

She reached out and grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into her mouth. The icy snowflakes melted in her mouth. Nata swallowed the snow hard, then gritted her teeth and walked forward...

*****

five days later.

Outside the shrine of the "Luna Sect", countless believers are devoutly bowing to the white marble statue.

The image of the statue is a woman wearing an elegant robe. She has a beautiful appearance and a calm expression. Her arms are spread out, and she seems to have a non-existent smile. At this time, it was a full moon night, even though it was extremely cold outdoors, it still couldn't stop this group of fanatical believers from praying and worshiping the moon god.

Pope Blake returned to the warm interior after presiding over the opening prayer service. Wearing a thick coat, he drank warm ale in front of the fire, and chatted with several capable men about various events that were happening in the kingdom:

"This Prime Minister is still very capable. I read that the policies mentioned in the newspaper are more than stronger than that of Charles II from a theoretical and operational point of view."

Black did not belittle each other because of the previous war between the two sides. On the contrary, he spoke highly of Rody: "After a few years of recovery like this, the national strength will definitely be much stronger than before. When the people are rich, there will be more believers... "

He pointed to the venison that was roasting in the fire: "Joy, it's almost ready, let's cut it and try it."

Eating roasted venison in this weather is indeed a kind of enjoyment for arcanists. Blake would not put on airs on such occasions,

These people in front of him are all the most reliable confidantes. Although he has the title of "Holy Master", in fact, everyone knows that this hat is only used to bluff people, and it is not true.

The arcanist named Joey picked up a knife and cut off the outer layer of meat that had been baked until golden, and put it on a plate while laughing: "Holy Lord, your teachings still say that you should keep a vegetarian diet! "

"No, these guys eat less meat, wouldn't it be cheaper for us to buy meat?"

Blake's answer made everyone laugh. "Luna Religion", like other religions, has many cumbersome teachings. Among them, it is stipulated that believers can only eat meat three days a month, and the rest of the time can only be vegetarian-based—and if they become priests such as "priests", they must keep the "vegetarian" commandment and cannot eat meat for life. Meat.

Externally, Black declared that all of this is to make people more "pure" and reduce killing to become the darling of the moon god. And at the moment, they only ridicule those who really obey the teachings as fools.

Joey chewed the delicious venison, and suddenly asked: "Holy Master, it takes enough brains to come up with these teachings, right? I feel that being able to explain some rules so clearly is more difficult than studying arcane arts."

"I don't have time to study these."

Black picked up the warm ale, took a sip and explained: "These things are actually written in a high elf notebook I've seen before."

"Did it exist during the High Elf period?"

The few arcanists next to them were all surprised. After all, arcanists were the absolute mainstream in the period of the high elves, and even the elemental genre was rejected, let alone "theism".

Black laughed and said, "Don't underestimate religion. Not all high elves are arcanists. Among the general public, there are actually quite a few high elves who are as dull as humans. There have been more than ten kinds of sects, but in the era of the prosperity of arcane arts, there are only a few remaining three or four."

He ate two mouthfuls of venison, and said to the men in front of him who were listening attentively: "The congregation's grasp of the materials of the High Elf period is relatively scattered. In fact, no matter how many books are collected, it is difficult to restore the true appearance of a complex era. The notes I took out from one of the ruins belonged to a 'priest', in his mouth, the high elves who learn arcane arts are all demons whose minds have been distorted, and only by believing in the moon god can they be freed."

Every religion has this kind of rhetoric. The Viper Cross and the Rosary Cross all proclaimed such words as "he who believes in me will have eternal life". These arcanists sneered after hearing this. Black smiled and continued: "I suspect that the owner of this notebook is a standard fanatic. We now use arcane magic to create some light and shadow to fool people in order to win over believers, but this person in the notebook said that he has witnessed the "God" with his own eyes. trace'."

Several arcanists looked at each other, and then laughed together: "Indeed, if you don't, how can you be called a believer? If you tell a lie 10,000 times, you are a true believer if you believe it yourself!"

Joey spun the venison in the fire, and said with emotion: "I said those prayers sound weird, so they were translated from High Elf."

"Yeah, it's also a laborious thing to try to rhyme as much as possible. So I didn't change the few prayers they recited most often. Let's recall what these lines mean."

When Black said this, several arcanists suddenly realized: "It turns out that the sentence is different. If you change the sentence, isn't it translated as 'May Strian live forever in the starry sky'?"

Strian is the name of the moon god. Believers in these nearby villages have begun to proclaim this name day and night in recent days, but Blake didn't take his name to heart at all, and everyone had a very happy meal. After eating the venison, he returned to his laboratory to continue researching arcane arts. But not long after, the Panda Arcanist who had been working outside suddenly announced that he wanted to meet.

He tidied up the test bench, turned his head and asked Panda who entered the door: "Is there any important news for coming so late?"

"Master Holy Master... a mercenary has found a clue."

Black raised his eyebrows: "A total of seven teams were sent, and all of them said they had clues, but you also know that the guys in front of them all entered the same ruins, but found different things. This obvious trap is really underestimated." congregation."
