Chapter 521(1/2)
Before dawn, Victor walked through the morning fog and returned to the temporary camp.
The young attendants of the Randall family came forward and enthusiastically took the weapons and quivers from their masters. The high-ranking paladin Dimat sat on the wooden stake in front of the shed and said to Victor with a smile:
"You didn't bring your cloak when you went out last night. Your little attendant thought you would be back soon. Who knows, you were never seen. The two little guys Brandon and Klaus woke me up early in the morning.
, shouting to go out to find you. I was just about to release the red-eyed crow, and you came back... Hey, Victor, you seem to be a little different from yesterday..."
Thin mist flows along the surface of the dragon lizard skin armor, like a layer of living gauze covering Victor's body, tangible and insubstantial, showing an unreal mysterious and ethereal appearance.
The high-level paladin looked stunned and couldn't help but stand up.
Due to the relationship between the Sword Master Draven, the extraordinary and powerful men of the church paid special attention to the secrets of the talents of the nobles of the Moon Elf bloodline, and specially compiled and studied the records of all the nobles of the Moon Elf bloodline before and after Draven.
Dimat is no stranger to the strange phenomena in Victor. As far as he knows, the moon elf's talent for wind movement arises at will. When the blood of the moon elf is purified to a certain extent, the talent for wind movement consumes energy at a rate slower than the natural recovery of energy.
If you have speed, Wind Movement can be regarded as a passive talent. However, Wind Movement Archer will not activate Wind Movement under normal circumstances. For someone like Victor to trigger Wind Movement talent completely unconsciously, it only shows that his Moon Elf bloodline is in the process of growth.
active stage.
Is Free Night Walk really working? Is this a way to improve the blood of the Moon Elf? Or is it just for Victor's situation?
Various thoughts were running through Dimat's mind, and he stood there in a daze.
“The delicious stewed grouse?”
Victor twitched his nose and saw an earthen pot stacked on the small charcoal stove in front of the shack. It was "gurgling, gurgling" and emitting fragrant steam. There were stewed grouse, bigfoot mushrooms, white ear tubers, and mountain bamboo shoots.
and taro. The mountain delicacies were tumbling in the fine white soup, with a layer of yellow oil floating on them. Victor moved his index fingers, walked into the shack, took out the bowls, chopsticks and a wooden stool, and sat down
He went to the charcoal stove, scooped out a bowl of stew, and started eating by himself.
The grouse prepared for the winter is the most plump, and the stew is heated enough to blend the fat with the flavors of various mountain delicacies, especially the big-footed mushrooms unique to the Misty Mountains, which absorb the fresh aroma of other ingredients and make them bite into your mouth.
, Victor only felt that the mushroom meat was plump and smooth, and the taste was extremely delicious. After eating a few pieces of bigfoot mushrooms and drinking up all the soup in the bowl, Victor put down the bowl and chopsticks and said with satisfaction:
"Dried Big Foot Mushrooms are also sold in the market in Yeliu City. They are expensive, but their taste is much worse than fresh Big Foot Mushrooms."
"This... you like to eat, I'll give it to you." Dimat sat down next to him and tried to ask: "Fengyu?"
Victor's expression was regretful, but he was secretly proud: "Now that I've experienced it, I'm just a little short."
Dimat coughed dryly and lowered his head to hide the shock in his heart.
According to records collected by the church, since the marriage between the Wimbledon family and the Moon Elf royal family, there have been no more than 40 nobles of the Moon Elf bloodline who have awakened the talent of Wind Whisper. The most famous among them is the Sword Master Draven.
, in the past 3,000 years, there have been only four nobles who have mastered the talent of wind whispering, and they are all descendants of the Testir family.
Dimat seemed to have grasped the key points and figured out the rules. His mood was agitated and his thoughts were running wild.
Victor may be the fifth Wind Whisperer who is not a descendant of the sword master, and he has something in common with the sword master Draven. Draven awakened the wind whisper talent at the age of 47, and Victor was 21 years earlier than him.
, touching the threshold of wind whisper talent. According to the life span of moon elves, they all awakened all moon elves talents before reaching adulthood.
Is it a necessary prerequisite for a minor moon elf noble to master all bloodline talents to mutate into a sun elf bloodline?
Does this mean that Victor will definitely become the second sword master Draven?
Regardless of whether Victor can eventually mutate the blood of the Sun Elf, the Wind Whisper talent represents the noble and ancient golden bloodline, which is the source of the Storm Knights. His appearance can inject new vitality into the declining knight bloodline, representing a stronger
political influence.
As a pope from the same camp as Victor, Dimat was of course happy to see this happen. Seeing that there was no frustrated expression on Victor's face, he smiled and joked:
"In the future, when I write my own travel diary, I can record that the Silver Moon, the Season of Water, and the mountains and forests of Nahuel will help the nobles of the moon elf bloodline awaken their talents."
Victor shook his head and smiled: "I hope you will note in your travel notes that the moon elf nobles who adopt this method of improving their bloodline must have the ability to protect themselves."
"Uh... that makes sense." Dimat shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then suggested in a spirited voice: "Victor, otherwise... we postpone the trip, how many more times can you try?"
At this time, the followers came out of the shacks one after another, fetched water to wash themselves, chopped firewood for cooking, fed the swift birds, tied supplies to the backs of the antelopes, and prepared to return to the city of Kegston to rest for the winter.
Victor withdrew his gaze from the fierce swift bird Hercules, shook his head and said: "The swift bird can eat some raw meat, but it also needs to eat grass. This season, there are not many plants in the wild that can feed the swift bird... these
They are all the treasures of the Randall family. If one of them starves to death, I feel sad. Let’s go back to the city to spend the winter.”
Swiftbirds are organized into family units, with a dozen or twenty birds occupying a large territory. It is no problem to gather together for the winter. If more than 60 swiftbirds are artificially gathered together, the feed supply in winter becomes a big problem.
Dimat nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said: "How about this, we select a few elites and walk to the Earl of Dekeyser, and let others take the Swift Bird back to the city to rest. In this way, you can continue to try to improve your bloodline, and you can
Save three months of time and complete all the work of determining the Nahuel water conservancy system as soon as possible."
Victor was silent for a moment, looked at the high-level paladin, and said with a half-smile:
"I put the survey of the Count of De Keyser at the end because Lady Dolly's territory is too remote. In addition, Her Majesty Catherine asked to go to the Count of De Keyser with me... you know the reason...
After all, I am the Lord of Cambis who is loyal to the August family. When I go to a place adjacent to Nyovest alone, I have to consider the mood of Her Majesty Catherine."
"How could I forget this matter?"
Dimat slapped his forehead and said angrily: "Victor, I have absolutely no other intention. I am just worried that you will miss the opportunity for bloodline promotion..." Then, he explained to Victor his age limit for the moon elf bloodline.
Guess, and finally concluded:
"Moon elves reach adulthood at the age of 65. After adulthood, no matter how many talents are awakened, the bloodline will be solidified, thus losing the potential for promotion. Therefore, the sooner you master the wind whisper talent, the better it will be for you."
"Thank you for your warning."
Victor solemnly thanked him, paused, and said with a meaningful smile: "I am young and can't hide many thoughts... Dimat, we are friends, right?"
"Haha, of course..."
Dimat laughed dryly, thought for a moment, and then lowered his voice and said: "I understand what you want to know... Turnans went to the northern wilderness to deal with the centaur bandits, and he will not be able to come back for a while. His Majesty arranged for me to come and meet him.
Will protect you, I feel puzzled myself. But if Your Majesty doesn't say anything, I won't ask... Sometimes, everything is clear, but there are fewer choices, leaving myself in a dilemma."
Victor muttered dissatisfied: "Then you have to reveal something to me, right? It's better than letting me think nonsense."
Dimat's expression froze for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said softly: "I can't be sure of what I'm guessing about. Just listen to it."
Victor pricked up his pointed ears and listened to the paladin say: "Your Majesty asked me to protect you. I'm afraid it has something to do with the person on the Holy Mountain of Light..."
"Isn't the one who teaches... been sidelined?" Victor asked with confusion on his face.
"Uh... don't forget, in addition to His Majesty on Guangming Mountain, our King Al is the first Paladin." Having already talked about this, Dimat simply continued: "Patriarch Tamor is...
Moving around, he planned to rely on the establishment of the Templars to form a paladin army specifically for the southern expansion strategy. King Al jumped out and asked to form a mercenary army from the Kingdom of Al, otherwise he would... Hey, find someone yourself
If you understand the light guards, you will know what is going on."
Victor's eyes flickered, he nodded, and asked: "All the people of the Aiel Theocracy are descendants of clergy, and there are also free people in Aiel who can be recruited?"
"The parishes of the Eastern Alliance under the pastorate of Mount Athos Abbey are all freemen."
"However, the El Theocracy does not allow refugees to stay across the border. How will the King of El arrange his mercenaries?"
"This... Al is not not allowing refugees to enter the country, but it is preventing believers from traveling thousands of miles to make pilgrimages, wasting people and money, and violating their own dedication obligations."
Dimat explained awkwardly, returned to the original topic, and said: "Don't forget, the Neowest royal family is nominally the suzerain of the Kingdom of Ayr, and the King of Ayr can entrust the mercenary army to him. Vic
Duo, do you understand?"
Victor took a deep breath, stood up and said, "I generally understand."
*************************
Five days later, Coggston City, Earl Dekeyser's Mansion, a single-family villa in the back garden.
"The paladins of the church have three major legions, the Templar Army under the Knights of Radiance; the Templars of the Cardinals; and the direct descendants of Nachtigal - the Guards of Light."
Catherine sat next to Victor and softly introduced the secrets of the church to her lover.
"The Templar Army is the largest, followed by the Templar Knights, and the Light Guards in Nachtigal have the smallest number. The Light Guards are limited in number, but their strength cannot be underestimated. In fact, they are the iron guards of the Pope's lineage, independent of
The Knights of Radiance and the College of Cardinals have their own priests, paladins and paladins."
"The first pope Enoch established the Church of the Radiant and established the Radiant Code, which made it clear that the knights and nobles controlled the secular city-state, and the clergy were responsible for salvation and preaching, and did not establish secular political power. The first paladin family to follow Enoch was Nachtigal
Then he resigned from the position of Grand Master of the Knights of Radiance and became the Lord of the City of Ayr."
"Aiur is the birthplace of the Church of Radiance. Over the past thousands of years, it has transformed from a city-state into a kingdom. The church's clergy have thrived in Aiur, so it is also known as the Theocracy of Aiur. Nachtigar
They have served as kings of Aiur for generations, and the Code of Light has special rules for them. They have both the nature of secular lords and the position of the church...the chief of the Light Guard."
"King El's title is fictitious, and the Light Guard is a real job. Nachtigal has been multiplying to this day, and the members of the Light Guard are almost all their blood relatives. It is said that the battle priests of the Light Guard are all knights of Nakhtigar.
This shows how strong they are.”
Victor shook his head and sighed: "It's a solid block, with no gaps to exploit."
"Yes." Catherine nodded slightly, pursed her lower lips, and said: "Furthermore, the number of clergy in the church will change, but the proportion of clergy will always remain the same... Patriarch Tamor seeks to expand the Templar Army.
, the Temple Army will expand, and of course the Light Guard will follow suit."
"I estimate that Nachtigal is asking the Holy See to form a mercenary army for the Nakhtigal family on the condition of the final expansion of the Light Guard. Because the establishment priority of the Light Guard is still higher than that of the Temple Army."
The subtle changes in Catherine's expression were caught by Victor's eyes, and he suddenly understood that Augusta also knew the secret of the Holy Power Pool.
For a large family that has been passed down for thousands of years, as long as the family's historical records are compiled, one can see that the ratio of priests is fixed. If you follow this clue, it will not be difficult to discover the secret of the Holy Power Pool.
However, the clergy at the bottom cannot see the overall situation, and naturally cannot understand the mysteries. If they learn that the church's senior leaders allocate magical authority based on the holy power stored in the holy power pool, they will inevitably shake their beliefs and continue to work their way up.
This has led to many disadvantages. Therefore, those who know cannot tell the outside world. If they do, the church will never admit it. Instead, they will severely punish those who spread rumors.
Catherine stretched out her little hand, smoothed Victor's frown, and said softly: "Dear, what did you think of?"
