Sean reached out and knocked on a door.

Soon, footsteps rang out, and then the door was opened.

Standing behind the door was Sefanio.

At this moment, she was wearing a light-colored nightdress, her graceful figure loomed, and she was holding a book in her right hand, which had been read nearly half of the contents. As a village girl, Shephaneo was illiterate at first, because her village was so remote that even the Temple of Wisdom was not built there, but when Shephaneo's bloodline was activated by Eswinter, she not only mastered the lingua franca of the continent, but also the language of gods and elves.

However, this kind of mastery is not really her own, so Shephaneo especially likes to read, especially when she has nothing to do.

Of course, Shefanio's reading is very extensive, and he is not confined to a specific field at all, or he is interested in reading almost any book - just like now, the book he holds in his hand is obviously a popular romance novel, and the content is nothing more than a vulgar plot such as a knight killing a dragon and saving a princess.

"Something?" Shefanio asked, a little confused.

"Well, there's something I want you to help me with." Sean opened his mouth and said, "You know the old man that Elekate said before, right?" ”

"Zhiludao, didn't you start to contact him tonight?" When Shefanio said this, he realized that there was only Anno standing behind Sean, and there was no Alfred, "What about Fred?" …… Are things not going well? ”

"I don't know if it's going well or too well." Sean sighed helplessly, "There are two groups of people who are eyeing this old man, one of them may kidnap this old man, and the other group should be responsible for protecting this old man." …… I asked Fred to send the old guy back, but I still couldn't get reassured. So come to you. ”

"You want me to be responsible for protecting this old man?" Shephaño spoke, and there was already some dissatisfaction in his tone, "I'm a priest with a sword!" ”

The priest with a sword is a sharp blade of the Church, and its essence is very similar to that of the Knights of the Church, but there is a fundamental difference between the two. The Knights of the Church is a symbol of the regular fighting power of a church, and they are the defenders of the legitimacy of a church - whether it is offensive or defensive, a large part of the strength of the god's church in the mortal world depends on the combat power of the knights possessed by a church.

Under normal circumstances, the Church Knights are not to be used at will, because once they are used, they often turn into war-level conflicts. Therefore, most of the tasks that need to be sent are handled by the priests of the church. In this case, even if a battle occurs, it will only be limited to a certain range, and will not turn into a large-scale war.

Of course, different churches also have different names for the priestly dispatch institutions under them - for example, the Dawn Church is the Inquisition that threatens the entire continent, the Dark Inquisition Hall of the Twilight Goddess Church, the Hall of Sanctions of the God of Justice, etc., according to these special titles, the rank of the Temple Church will of course be different.

The Priest with a Sword is a special advanced class that belongs to the "Winter Hall", a special organization affiliated to the Church of Ice and Winter. In the game's parlance. It is a hidden advanced profession after the fourth-order priest, and for believers who believe in Ace Wintertle. The Great Hall of Winter is a gathering place for the elite. Only the most elite priests and priests will be able to enter the Hall of the Great Winter to further their studies and learn stronger combat arts.

Thus, the priest with the sword was not essentially a servant and protector, but a blade designed to punish enemies and infidels.

Letting Shephaneo protect people is indeed a disrespect to the priest with the sword.

If Shefanio was allowed to fight, kill or kill someone, she would be happy to carry the sword named Ice Rin and rush out of the city with a cheer.

It is difficult for a normal person to understand the desire to fight of a priest with a knife, but in fact. This is indeed a profession that can only grow stronger in battle—only through countless battles can they turn all the magic and martial arts they have mastered into their own fighting instincts, and this is also the only way to reach a higher realm.

Every truly strong man is a fighter.

"It's not for you to protect this old man." Sean was well aware of Shephanian's temperament. So he smiled, "Just for you to see who those guys who hit this old man's idea are." …… With Fred's strength, I believe that those guys will definitely not be his opponents, but I am afraid that there will be someone stronger than Fred to intervene, then the only person I can rely on at this time is you, after all, now Rena's identity is my companion, I can't let Reina come forward, only your identity is unknown to anyone. ”

Shephanio thought for a moment before nodding, "So what if no one makes a move?" ”

"Then you don't need to do anything." Sean opened his mouth and said, "The purpose of our coming this time is only to get the contract documents of the territory, and other things have nothing to do with us, so it is best not to get involved in these troublesome disputes." ”

"In this case, don't I still have to protect people?" Shefanio was still a little dissatisfied.

"It's different." Sean shook his head, he knew too well a tendon of the priest with the knife, so he opened his mouth and flickered, "Fred is our companion, you are acting out of concern for the safety of your companion, and this can be a good way to hone your observation and judgment, which is also a very important part of the battle." …… Being able to keenly judge the opponent's movements and goals and make targeted moves in advance makes it easier to grasp the initiative in battle. ”

It was clear that Shefanio was quickly overwhelmed by Sean.

She thought for a moment, and found that this seemed to be the case, so she happily took up her beloved saber and left.

"My lord, what are we going to do now?" Anno asked with a puzzled expression.

"Go back to your room and sleep." Sean looked tired.

"Back to the room? Go to bed? Anno blinked, a little incredulous.

"If you don't feel like you're full or something, it's okay to go downstairs to the lobby to eat." Sean said casually, "I'll go back to my room and sleep first." ”

"Oh...... Oh. Anno nodded dumbly, and then he just watched Sean really go back to his room.

Anno always felt as if something wasn't quite right, but he just couldn't remember what he should do. However, the Northland barbarians have never been good at thinking. This is almost the same as the barbarians, if not more than the barbarians, at least the barbarians will still fight for honor, but the Northland barbarians ......

Give them three meals, and they can fight the world for you.

That is, of course, if you really know how to train these Northland barbarians.

So, Anno soon turned around and left happily, just like Shefanio. It's just that the difference between the two is that Shephaneo is very eager to meet a real strong person who can fight with him, although because of his faith and the bloodline in his body, it is only a matter of time before Shefanio becomes a powerhouse in the Sanctuary. However, being able to become a powerhouse in the Sanctuary does not mean that you can have the strength to match it.

To know the Dao, strength does not simply refer to the size of the force, but also includes the understanding of the strength, combat experience, combat awareness, and so on.

This is also the frustration of the caster - mages and clerics are the easiest classes to level up, unlike warriors who need to hover between life and death to push their limits. But also because of this, the caster tends to have a lot of power. However, he doesn't have the combat experience and combat awareness to match, so he is facing a warrior class of the same level. Spellcasters often end up miserable.

So Shefanio was eager to gain knowledge. The eagerness to have more combat experience and awareness is understandable.

As for Anno, he was simply able to eat enough in the Great Rotunda Hall, and as for other things, he was not on his mind at all. Anyway, for him, he listens to whatever Sean says. Even if Sean asked him to die, for the sake of the clan's future life, it is estimated that Anno would not frown even a little.

After returning to his room, Sean did exactly what he said. fell asleep upside down, and it really didn't seem to care about the next development.

After sleeping until noon the next day, Sean was finally woken up by a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, he found that it was not Alfred or Rena and others who knocked on the door, but Elekate, which made Sean a little surprised in his heart. However, after he saw that Elekate's face was a little strange, Sean's brows furrowed slightly: "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm afraid we're going to have to make some changes to our plans." Elekate said eagerly, "You wash up first, I'll wait for you in the private room, or that one." ”

"It's good." Sean nodded, and began to wash.

The rooms on the second floor are not high-end rooms, so there is no bathroom, so if you want to bathe, you have to go to a public bathhouse in the city. However, if you just wash up, there are two bathrooms and four toilets on the second floor, so Sean has to go to the bathroom to fetch water if he wants to wash. Fortunately, Sean is not the kind of person who is really pampered, even after coming to this world to become a lord, his life is no different from before, so it is not difficult to fetch water and wash himself.

After putting everything in order, Sean went downstairs.

The hall downstairs repeated the scene Shaun had seen yesterday, neither deserted nor lively—of course, relative to what Sean had already seen last night. Alfred and Anno were already sitting at a table in the hall, enjoying their lunch, and when they saw Sean coming downstairs, Alfred immediately got up to greet him, and Anno got up and trotted over after scooping up the last steak on the plate and swallowing it in his mouth.

"What about the others?" Sean asked in a whisper.

"Rena left the tavern early in the morning, exactly as you told her to do, trying to get attention to her." Alfred replied, "Shefanio should still be in the room, she has already had breakfast, and lunch is called back to the room." ......" At this point, Alfred paused slightly before continuing: "Last night I sent that old man home according to your instructions......"

"I'll talk about this later, Elekate called me to go to the private room and talk to him, saying that our plan is going to make some changes, so you can come with me."

"Okay." (To be continued......)
