"Duru, a knight of the first order, swears to you in the honor of a knight that he is willing to dedicate this body to the lord and turn it into a shield and sword!" Duru knelt down on one knee, held the long sword in his hand, and said very respectfully. This is already a very prudent oath for a knight, people in this world pay attention to promises, as long as Raphael takes the long sword in Duru's hand, it means that Raphael accepts the knight's allegiance. And Durou's words are tantamount to aiming at the position of Raphael's guardian knight, a magician usually looks for a guardian knight to be his guarantee when casting spells, it can be said that if Raphael agrees, Duru will directly become Raphael's retainer!

Looks like this guy has a lot of brains! Without hesitation, Raphael directly took the long sword in Dulu's hand, "Ding~ The number of followers has increased!" ”

”

"I heard that if a knight can collect the eight virtues of knights, it seems that he can improve his strength in an all-round way, and I don't know if it's true or not." Looking at Duroux's personal expertise, he thought of a rumor, but Raphael felt that if a person could really collect these eight virtues, it would be beyond the level of ordinary people.

Durle's basic attributes are indeed not as good as those of a top talent like Dalena, but they can also be regarded as first-class, and their attributes still have room for growth, when Duru was only appreciated for half his life, Raphael has now discovered him at least twenty or thirty years in advance! Raphael still believes in the saying, gold will always shine, as long as he is given the opportunity to shine!

"Burton, a fifth-order mercenary, is willing to serve the lord!" Burton didn't have so many twists and turns, and he didn't understand them, but the simple allegiance was clear to him. Raphael nodded with great satisfaction, "Burton, do you want to be a chief of guard by my side, or do you want to be one of the high-ranking members of the mercenary union in my territory like Alva, Justin, and Milu." If Raphael is tended towards, he would prefer Burton to choose to become one of the top leaders of the mercenary union, after all, the strength of Alva, Justin and Milu is still a little lower after all, and the appeal is definitely not as good as a high-level mercenary like Burton.

The reputation of surrender will definitely sound better than the reputation of betrayal before the battle, so at least his original reputation in this area will not be blackened. No matter how bad it is, it will be able to better manage the rest of the mercenaries in the territory.

"I still want to be a mercenary, the things in the nobility and the army are still not suitable for me, I still don't lie in a puddle of muddy water! Just tell me what the lord needs me to do, that's the easiest. Burton thought about what he had encountered before, and really felt that the water was a bit deep, and his swimming skills were too poor, so it was better not to try it rashly!

"Okay, you can find out about the mercenary union with Justin and the three of you. When the time comes, I'll sign you the same contract as Justin. Raphael nodded, indeed, this was tailor-made for Burton.

"Okay. Your Lord! Burton nodded heavily, it would be more reassuring to have a contract to protect things, at least not to worry about becoming an outcast casually.

"Why is Bartholomew attacking us? At that time, I was not close to the Lord of England, at least not so hateful, so how could I suddenly attack us? Raphael still couldn't figure out how this matter could have changed so much on the way here, and now that the matter was settled, he asked out loud.

"Your Lord, you know England, oh! I remembered, I said why the name of the lord is so familiar, it turns out that you are the prophet who saved the city of Bartholomew in the first place! Burton finally remembered where the familiar feeling in his mind came from, and it was here! There was even more reverence in his eyes!

"Thank you, sir!" Hearing this, Duru bowed to Raphael again, as if he saw the doubts in Raphael's heart, and there was endless gratitude in his tone, "My home was in the area where the dragon attacked, if it wasn't for the prophecy of the adults at that time, maybe none of my family would have survived!" ”

Maybe the thread of fate is so wonderful, maybe today's fate comes from yesterday's cause!

Raphael felt why Durrou was a late bloomer at that time, maybe it was not so easy for a person to survive the loss of his family! It seems that unconsciously, he has really changed the fate of many big people in the future! As for whether such a change is good or bad for them, Raphael is still unclear, after all, it is still a long time to come, and it remains to be investigated!

"Maybe it's fate that pulls us together." Raphael sighed slightly, making everyone slightly trance.

"The Lord of England is dead." It was Dalena who spoke, and it seemed that this was the first time the little girl had spoken since she had returned, and it seemed that the little girl had come back to her senses a little. However, Raphael was still a little nervous when he saw it.

"Dead?" Raphael was a little puzzled, he remembered that England was only in his prime, and the vitality of a warrior was not so short-lived. And a city lord, in a high position, who would dare to kill him casually?

"I heard that I had an affair with the dark elves, and then I was killed by the temple." Dalena then spoke up, she wasn't very interested in this kind of thing, in her opinion, this kind of thing had nothing to do with them, if it weren't for these Bartholomew City soldiers attacking the territory, she probably wouldn't have paid much attention to this information, after all, she was still a little immature.

"With the Dark Elves? It's kind of interesting, this kind of crime will only be noticed by some old-fashioned temples. Remember that Bartholomew has the god of morning light and the god of guardians in the city, and this matter should have something to do with them. Raphael smiled, and if someone really wanted to design England, would that be a difficult thing to do?

Raphael has many ways to falsify the relevant evidence, after all, it is not a very difficult task. Especially these sacrifices of the God of Morning Light, one by one, their eyes are higher than the sky, and it doesn't take complicated means to deceive them, and the simplest is enough to set off their righteous heart to punish the evil and eliminate the evil!

"Well, as your lord speculated, the end of this matter came from the Bishop of the Temple of the God of Morning Light." Dalena said with some admiration, she just said that she was killed by the temple, Raphael was able to judge the result, and it seemed that she had to work harder! Dalena secretly looked at it in her heart.

"And then, who is the new city lord?" Raphael is still clear about the fact that the new official has three fires, and it seems that the key to this matter lies with the new city lord!

"Claire Latin." Dalena responded.

Raphael was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked again, "What?" ”

"The new lord of the city is Claire Ladin." Dalena repeated.

"Bloodslaughter? Did it come out so soon? It seems that the Viren Altar found outside Bartholomew City was really not a simple matter, not to mention that the four-armed Moguni snake man that appeared at that time was definitely not an accident! The plot should have started at that time, too, to design a city lord and replace it, very in the style of the believers of the god of conspiracy! Raphael thought to himself, Bloody Claire Ladin, this guy will climb to the Archbishopric layer of the God of Conspiracy Viren in the future, and he will sit in this position as a human alien, you can see how capable he is!

This is a ruthless character, let such a mad dog be his neighbor, Raphael can't sleep at night even if he thinks about it! When does this kind of guy have a nervous drain and puts the main target on him, then he will be a real tragedy! This kind of person will never give up if he never achieves his goal, and Raphael has already begun to think about how to defuse this time bomb!

Now that he swallows such a group of people under his hands, it will definitely not be good, you say spit it out? If you swallow the meat in your stomach, there is no reason to spit it out!

Raphael nodded first, then turned his gaze to Duru, "Tell me about this city lord." ”

Durroux sorted out his words a little, and then told him all the information he knew, and Burton on the side added what he knew.

"Didn't the Imperial Inspectorate come forward to stop it? This is a subordinate city of the Empire, and they don't react at all to this guy's doing this? "Raphael remembers that the high-level magician he had seen at that time would never be slaughtered by the way, right?

"Because they're all haunted by some demons that suddenly appeared!" On the side, a voice came, and when he turned his head, it was Prescott.

"Pastor Prescott, thank you so much for coming here from Bartholomew City to deliver the news to us! I owe you a favor! Raphael said with a grateful face, although he had sold their gods a few days ago to an adult, but one yard to one yard, Raphael dared to say that at that time he must not have helped their gods. So their actions are completely voluntary, and this is the favor they owe!

"No, no, Lord Raphael, the last time we came to your territory didn't work at all, and this time I can't help you fight casually from the position of the temple, so I feel guilty. Not to mention any favors! Prescott shook his head repeatedly, the somewhat upright combat priest was also cute.

"No, if you hadn't come from Bartholomew to send us information, we would have suffered heavy casualties, and you can say that you were able to win this war so easily! During this time, I stayed in the territory for a few days, so that I could do my best as a landlord. Raphael said solemnly, indeed, if there was no Prescott, Burton's sudden attack on the city walls would not be easy for these soldiers defending the city to fight.

With mental calculation or not, the soldiers of Bartholomew City are completely able to launch a surprise attack on the hill leader at the moment of occupying the city wall, and the consequence of this is that the hill hill leader is lost, even if the Yuki leader reacts at this time, it will be too late, and then it will really only be able to defend passively!

It can be said that Prescott's move changed the direction of the entire battle!

Prescott resisted Raphael's invitation and finally agreed to stay in the territory for a few days, "It seems that the new city lord has been prepared for a long time!" Raphael listened to the information that came out of Prescott's mouth, and exhaled heavily. Burton and Duru's intelligence sources are still a bit of hearsay, but the information that Prescott said is more accurate, don't underestimate the power of the temple, this kind of power is inconspicuous on weekdays, it really angers them, and you will feel their power like mountains and seas!

"Do you think these things have anything to do with the new lord?" Prescott listened to Raphael's exclamation and said.

"Well, although everything happens by chance, but let a series of things happen regularly, that is deliberate! From the death of the lord of England, to the assumption of power, to the appearance of demons, to the conquest of the surrounding towns, how could it be solved so easily without some means and arrangements? Although he is an enemy, Raphael also admires Claire Latin a little bit for being able to play such a smooth serial scheme, which is really interlocking, and if there is a problem in one link, he can't sit on the Diaoyutai so easily!

"It's a pity that the Temple of Dawn and the Temple of Guardians are too impulsive, so that the whole balance is completely tilted, otherwise Claire Latin would not be so arrogant. And I guess the Imperial Inspectorate is either all killed or trapped by Claire Latin by some means! But I don't think it's all dead, otherwise Claire Latin's eating appearance wouldn't be so ugly! Speaking of this, Raphael sighed secretly, the temples of the orderly camp are too rigid, the new gods are okay, these old-school gods are not much different from the old stubborn, but fortunately, they woke up to their mistakes in this regard and corrected them later.

But the blood paid for this change is really a lot, so to speak, it is a cog lubricated by blood!

"He is still guarding against the counterattack of the Imperial Inspectorate, as long as he can completely occupy all the land near Bartholomew City, then the Imperial Inspectorate will not dare to attack him casually, as long as he has the lives of these people in his hands, the Empire will not be able to dispose of him casually, what a good calculation!" Raphael finally concluded, it can be said that if it really moves according to such a trajectory, it is indeed a very beautiful serial plan!
