Chapter 41 Holy Water

The night is already dark.

This grand banquet in Ice Rock City finally came to an end.

However, the nobles who left one after another from the banquet had different expressions.

Some are excited, some are frightened, some are expecting, some are frightened...

I am destined to be sleepless tonight.

Carrier pigeons soared from the Ice Rock City and dispersed to all parts of the northern border.

They will convey a shocking news - the eldest son of Duke St. Hilde, Marquis Charles, under the questioning of Marquis Garcia, announced that he would give up his title!

Charles' title was originally a false title and had no corresponding territory.

The meaning it truly represents is actually the inheritance of Duke St. Heard!

Giving up this title means that Charles gave up his inheritance rights.

Of course, strictly speaking, only after the Duke of St. Heard approved Charles' request, he was officially deprived of the marquis and completely lost the right to inherit the duke.

However, what is really interesting or even more terrifying is that Charles voluntarily gave up his title under the pressure of his own uncle.

Since Charles will not inherit the Duke of the St. Heard family, who will inherit it?

Is it the Duke's second son?

Or, the Duke's younger brother?

Logically speaking, as the duke's younger brother, Marquis Garcia's succession right was followed by the duke's three sons, and even ranked behind the duke's adopted daughter Vera.

But now, no one is sure who will be on who the title of the St. Heard family will fall.

And will that golden lion flag turn into a black lion?

A terrifying storm has quietly approached the northern border of the empire.

Some people were excited and tried to take this opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Some people were also worried and were scared by the hidden crisis.

Colin walked quietly on the streets of Ice Rock City, thinking about how the Angles family should handle themselves in this upcoming storm.

To be honest, he didn't want the North to get messy at this time.

This is not because of how loyal he is to Duke St. Heard or how sympathetic he is to Marquis Charles, nor is it because of the concern that this storm will involve Vera, but because he knows very well that if the North is in civil strife at this time, then who will be the biggest beneficiary.

There is no doubt that it will be a troll!

You know, the 300,000 troll army on the Sky Ice Field has not withdrawn much. Maybe now it is staring at the northern border with a fierce look!

Once the Marquis of Garcia and Duke of St. Hilder are scrambling, the troll will definitely take the opportunity to go south again.

The northern border will definitely suffer from the disaster!

Colin didn't care about the power struggles for those superiors, but as a human being, he certainly did not want to see the North become a place where trolls rage.

But unfortunately, others' slight words cannot change the current situation.

I can only hope that the Duke of the North, far away in Winter City, can retain a little bit of reason and make appropriate concessions.

Colin returned to the hotel, took off his armor, and fell asleep.

When I woke up, the sun was just right.

Although the atmosphere in Ice Rock City was a little nervous, there was no chaos, as if everything last night was just an illusion.

After breakfast, Colin went out for a walk and walked the cat.

Of course, Xiaobai was not willing to be walked, but Colin forced him to go out.

After the protest failed, the angry little white got into Colin's clothes and continued to take a break.

In fact, Colin was not really wandering around the streets aimlessly, he was purposeful - the Glorious Church.

The church of the Glorious Church in Ice Rock City is not far from the west of the Suduo family castle. It is a tower built of pure white rocks. It looks about a hundred high. The top of the tower stands straight, as if it is about to pierce the sky.

Colin is no longer as afraid of the Church of Glory as he did when he first came through time.

After all, he had already drunk holy water and even advanced because of this.

In fact, when he successfully advanced to become a formal knight and was able to stimulate the energy of the holy light, Colin already had a guess—

The vampires in this world should not be restrained by the church.

So he walked into the church gate openly.

The guards at the door saw that Collin was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but did not stop him.

In the empty prayer hall, there were no one, only rows of tables and chairs, and the sculpture erected in the front row.

Sculptures are naturally the image of the Lord of Glory.

This is a middle-aged man in a rustic robe with long hair shawls, holding a scepter in his right hand and pointing his left hand forward. The only strange thing is his face—

There are no facial features on it!

According to the church, the reason why the Lord of Glory has no facial features is because he can be the image of anyone—elegant nobles, poor civilians, and even lowly slaves.

Colin looked up at the legendary god who protected humans, but suddenly a sense of inexplicable familiarity appeared in his heart.

He thought for a long time, but couldn't think of where this familiar feeling came from.

"Dear Knight, can I ask if I can help you?"

Just as Collin was thinking about the sculpture of Lord of Glory, an old voice suddenly woke him up.

"Hello, dear pastor, please call me Colin."

The old priest's turbid eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled and said, "It turns out it is Knight Colin. I have heard of your name."

Colin was a little surprised. Obviously he didn't expect that he was so famous now?

The old pastor seemed to see Colin's doubts and explained with a smile: "Article Raven has been here before and mentioned you to me."

Colin suddenly realized that it seemed that he had left a deep impression on Archbishop Raven.

I guess I was thinking about drinking a whole bottle of pure holy water I had.

Humph, stingy bishop!

Colin complained in his heart, but on the surface he looked deeply honored: "I didn't expect Archbishop Raven to remember me, it's so honor."

"I wonder what's wrong with Knight Colin coming here?"

"That's right. I actually want to buy some holy water. I can save myself if I am seriously injured next time."

Since the last time he advanced, Colin has been planning to church the Holy Water. Now he has a rare time to have free time, so he naturally wants to get some holy water to drink.

"So that's the case. Then please come with me." The old pastor nodded and led Colin through the prayer hall to the back hall.

In fact, it has long been the norm for the church to sell holy water.

Moreover, the price is extremely expensive.

The church not only did not feel ashamed of this, but instead justified it - "The gift of God needs a price."

The two of them soon arrived at a small cottage in the back hall.

The house is simply furnished, and only a holy water pool the size of a bathtub is arranged in the center.

The water surface in the pool is as smooth as a mirror, with a milky white holy light.

Of course this is holy water, but it is diluted.

Colin resisted the urge to rob the church and handed the water bag to the old pastor: "Please fill it up for me."

"OK."

"Gudong...gudong..."

The old priest quickly filled the water bag and returned it to Colin: "Knight Colin, a total of thirty gold coins."

It's so dark!

You know, these holy waters were diluted, not the pure holy water that Archbishop Raven gave Colin to that without water.

As for how many times the dilution.

According to Colin, the common practice of the church is a thousand times higher.

Therefore, the true content of all the holy water in the holy water pool of the church in front of us is probably not as good as the small bottle concentrated in Archbishop Raven's hand.

Now Colin bought a whole holy water bag that he spent a huge amount of money, probably diluted by one or two drops of pure holy water.

Colin felt a pain in his heart, but he had to hand over thirty gold coins to the old priest.

Let's try it if it's useful first.

Colin bid farewell to the old pastor and left this "black shop".
