Chapter 80: Death at the Door

There are no laws in the colony, but each place has its own unique rules. Although they are guarded by paladins, it is not unusual for clashes and even deaths in the colony. The temple of the god of war is based on the doctrine of war and strife, which determines that their paladins must not be as concerned about the nature of everything as the sun god Amunrah or the true god Thom, so they are mostly blind to the conflicts between mercenaries. As long as they don't threaten the normal operation of the stronghold, the paladins of the Temple of the God of War are not willing to mix in the problems between the mercenaries.

But this time the situation was different, and instead of the mercenaries who traveled to the dark regions to die, Jenn killed them, but the attendants of a certain big man. So the nature of the matter also changed, when Jenn and the others left, the whole stronghold began to turmoil like a pool of water thrown into a stone, and the name Jenn once again became a hot topic in everyone's mouths.

But Jenn wasn't interested in that, this was the Dark Realm, not the surface. No matter how many people come, they can't change this, they can stick to their own ideals, their own bottom line, and their own guidelines. However, it is impossible to ignore and resist the rules and boundaries of the Dark Realm itself, even if it is as strong as the Temple. It's like a layer of soil and rocks hundreds or thousands of kilometers thick that is pressed on top of everyone's heads, and the only thing you can do is accept it without objection.

Of course, part of the reason for this is that Jenn has found something more interesting and fun.

"Do you know what it is? Elise? ”

Sitting on the stone chair, Jenn looked with interest at the strange bright red substance that lay out in front of him. After returning to his own cave in the colony, Jenn began to concentrate on studying this strange thing. At first, he thought it was an egg, but after using the [Evil Eye] to investigate, Jenn was surprised to find that it was actually solid, which meant that it was not an egg, but more like a gem or something.

If only it was that, but when Jenn adjusted the [Evil Eye] to the soul mode, he was surprised to find that there was actually a strange soul fire inside, and it could be seen that this soul fire had just taken shape. The white flame that burned slowly but surely burned brightly, announcing its own existence.

This is interesting, a stone actually has a soul, could it be that there is a monkey popping out of it?

Although Jenn has read many books, he has never seen anything so weird. So he gave the red gem to Elise to study, after all, as a mage, it was Elise's job to study these things.

"I'm sorry, master, I haven't figured it out yet."

Hearing Jenn's question, Elise also smiled helplessly, and looked at the ruby egg in front of her intently again.

"I can feel the fluctuation of the elements coming from within it......... This is supposed to be a condensation of something, but it's hard to say what it is........."

"Take your time, what we have is time."

Taking the black tea from Bikes, Jenn leaned leisurely against the stone wall. During this time, he had also been in contact with Enoa, at least the dungeon side was relatively stable. And Jenn has decided to temporarily close the entrance to the dungeon, while reclaiming all the aliens and banshees. Before, I only planned to attack the patrol team to fish in troubled waters, but now that my goal has been achieved, it is the best choice to stop at the right time.

So, next...............

"Knock knock!!"

Just then, there was a sharp knocking sound outside, and Jenn raised his eyelids to look at the hole. Soon the curtain was lifted, and the Liam Paladin hurried in, a look of anxiety on the young face. Seeing Jenn here, Liam sighed helplessly, and then strode in front of Jenn.

"Mr. Jenn, you're still in the mood to drink tea here, do you know that there's already a commotion in the stronghold now!"

"What does this have to do with me? Your church is in charge of the stronghold, so don't you take care of it? ”

Taking a sip of black tea, Jenn glanced at Liam. He didn't have much affection for this paladin, but he didn't have any ill feelings either. Although Liam is too "upright", such a person is also easy to use, and there is still some value for Jenn. So he didn't say anything, but made a gesture, and seeing Jenn's movements, Bix immediately took out a silver teacup, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Liam.

"Thank you."

After walking for such a long time, Liam's mouth was also a little dry, and when he saw Bix handing over tea, he hurriedly thanked him and reached out to take it. After taking a sip, I finally took a breath. Hearing Jenn's words, Liam couldn't help glaring at him, perhaps remembering Jenn's temper, and his originally tough complexion eased a lot.

"Indeed, to be honest, I have also asked the mercenaries around me about this. It's true that those attendants are not right first, and I know that you have a big temper, but ......... The person killed this time is really different! ”

"What's the difference?"

Hearing Liam's words, Jenn snorted coldly.

"Then again, my maid was bullied in the stronghold, and you paladins are pretending to be blind, can you say that those people are also paladins?"

"No, no, no, those people aren't paladins!"

Liam was young after all, and as soon as Jenn said a few words, he immediately stood up in fright and waved his hand to deny it.

"We don't have that kind of scum among our paladins, but Mr. Jenn, to tell you, this time it's really not easy..............."

And under Liam's introduction, Jenn also understood the ins and outs of the matter.

It is true that the Templar Church is a cross-regional international organization, but the problem is that no matter how powerful the temple is, it is still a temple, and after so many years of ups and downs, many countries have changed their structure. With the exception of Seth, the base of the Templar Church, which is a theocratic state, most of the other countries have a system of separation of church and state. The Templar Church is very powerful, but it cannot interfere in every aspect of a country. It is for this reason that any action of the Templar Church must be supported by the local rulers.

And this operation into the Dark Regions is naturally the same, the northern land where Jenn is located is above the Doomsday Mountains, and part of it belongs to the sphere of influence of the Valkyrie Principality. The Temple of the God of War needs to recruit personnel, go deep into the dark regions, and logistics supplies and other things, so naturally need the assistance of the Valkyrie Principality.

The Duchy of Valkyrie has a fairly long history with the Temple of the God of War, and in the beginning, it was just an ordinary human gathering place. Later, with the invasion of the demons, this place was also plunged into the smoke of war. It was the god of war that sent the Valkyries into the main material plane to help the inhabitants defeat the demon advance. And in it, there is a human hero who falls in love with the Valkyrie, and the two give birth to a child. Later the child founded a nation on the land and named it Valkyrie. This is also where the name of the Valkyrie Duchy comes from.

In the past, when the Temple of the God of War was prosperous, the relationship between the Valkyrie Principality and the Temple of the God of War was not bad. But after the fall of the god of war, the relationship between the temple of the god of war and the principality of Valkyrie deteriorated, and the temple of the god of war, which had lost the protection of the gods, was regarded as a burden by the principality of Valkyrie, and he wanted to hide as far as he could. As for the friendship between the two sides, it has long been mentioned. However, it is no wonder that Valkyrie was founded because of the blessing of the god of war, and when the god of war was alive, this blessing was a good thing for the people. However, after the death of the god of war, the Valkyrie Principality, which has lost the protection of the gods, will inevitably face a panicked situation.

In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, the Valkyrie Principality had to choose to abandon the useless Temple of the God of War and instead support other temples to preach. In this case, the already weak forces of the God of War Temple have become even worse. Although the two sides still maintain a certain amount of friendly relations with each other, it is really a façade.

Because of this, in the face of this request from the God of War Temple, the Valkyrie Principality seemed not very happy. If it weren't for the God of War Temple's pleading, I'm afraid they wouldn't have supported the God of War Temple to do anything. It's just that even if they finally agreed to assist the Temple of the God of War, most of them are responsible for the supply work in the rear, and the Valkyrie Principality will not do such a thing as going deep into the dark region. Because the duty of the army is to defend the country, it is naturally impossible to send it to the dark region to be wasted.

Prior to this, the local nobles of the Valkyrie Principality were responsible for supervising the portal with the Archbishop of Bosson of the Church, but later because of the sneak attack on the stronghold (Liam killed Liam didn't even think that the culprit sitting in front of him was the culprit), the rear was also a little unable to sit still. I was afraid that there would be some more chaos under the dark area, until Jenn made a move and dealt with the group of salamanders, which finally stabilized it.

But this is also the cause of trouble.

While the supply base reported to the rear that the surrounding area had been cleared, it also took out the carcasses of many salamanders as proof and sent them to the back. And seeing these evil and strange underground creatures naturally surprised those old men in the rear. And after learning that the area around the stronghold is safe, and there are no monster attacks. The nobles in the rear are also ready to move, wanting to see the dark region for themselves. So some noble heirs united and brought some people to the supply base, intending to take a good look at the "customs and customs" of the dark region.

And the squires who surrounded Bix before were the subordinates of these noble heirs. Therefore, the other mercenaries and paladins saw it and couldn't manage it too widely, after all, the other party was noble and a collaborator of the temple, the mercenaries didn't want to cause trouble, and the paladins didn't want to settle the matter.

But I didn't expect Jenn to be even more ruthless, and he killed people directly without saying a word, just like killing chickens. This is simply a naked slap in the face, how can those squishy people be calm? Liam was just upright, not a fool, and when he heard that Jenn had killed someone, he knew that something was wrong, so he hurried to report to him.

"I see."

Hearing Liam's words, Jenn nodded.

"It's okay, if they want to trouble me, just come directly, don't worry, for your sake, I'll spare them a dog's life."

"That's not the problem.........

Hearing Jenn's words, Liam couldn't help but laugh and cry. He wasn't here to plead for those people, but to hope that Jenn wouldn't get into too much trouble. But looking at Jenn's attitude now, he doesn't seem to think it's trouble at all!

It's a pity that I'm afraid of something.

At this moment, suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside, and the sound of weapons colliding could be faintly heard. Hearing this, Liam's face changed slightly, but before he could say anything, he saw several heavily armed soldiers rushing into the cave and surrounding Jenn and the others.
