67. Friendship

Elsie's arrival was definitely a surprise.

The Spear of the Dark Moon is now one of the most powerful Church Knights on the Miracle Continent, and perhaps even the prefix "Church" can be removed.

In the entire Western Continent, there will never be more than five knights that can be compared to the Spear of the Dark Moon - of course, the Pure White Wings are not among them, the combat power of the only ninth-level knight order in the whole continent already belongs to the level of another realm, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is above all the knights in the entire Miracle Continent.

Sean's Void Principality also has a knightly order called the Scarlet Knights.

However, the current level of this knight order, even if it is a small name, maybe for some small principalities or small kingdoms, no one wants to provoke the Scarlet Knights, but in the face of those powerful kingdoms or empires, the level of the Scarlet Knights is not enough.

From this point of view, it can be judged what level of knights the Darkmoon Spear is.

Quasi-level eight.

Sean really couldn't imagine how Elsie, who was weak and didn't seem to be much better than a girl, could come up with such a powerful knight order. Sean believes that as long as this knight group makes a group charge, even the steel wings with the effect of the impact shield skill turned on will definitely be chiseled, of course, the only exception may be that the end will be slightly better, not to be completely wiped out, and the spear of the dark moon will definitely pay a certain price.

Beyond the sixth-level army that has reached the level of qualitative change, the level of combat effectiveness is not something that can be explained by a simple calculation formula.

There was a rhythmic knock on the door.

A smile appeared on Sean's face: "Come in, the tea is already brewed." ”

So, the door opened.

Walking in through the door was Elsie. Boulder, now the head of the Knights of the Darkmoon Spear.

He was not wearing armor, just a simple set of coarse linen clothes and coarse cloth trousers. Even the shoes are the most ordinary straw sandals. When such a person walks on the road, everyone will only think that he is the poorest lower-class poor, and even very likely a slave or something, and no one will think that he is the leader of the Knights of the Dark Moon Spear, who is now famous in the Northern Continent.

Of course, if he didn't have a black spear in his hand, it would be more like that.

It was a spear that even Sean couldn't figure out what words to describe or describe - it was about two meters long. Both the body and the tip of the gun are pure black, without strange patterns, symbols, or marks, and it looks like it was made from a piece of pure black ore, but it gives people an inexplicable sense of seclusion. And the most important thing is that this spear was held in Elsie's hand, which actually made his sense of existence a little thin, and even Sean's eyes couldn't help but be attracted to this spear.

"Ding." A soft thud of metal striking sounded.

Sean's eyes changed slightly, and immediately as if he had broken free from some strange inductive resonance, the whole person instantly came to his senses.

"Huh?" Elsie was stunned for a moment. He immediately looked at the black long sword that Sean had placed in the corner, "Artifact? ”

"Yes, artifact." Sean smiled and nodded, but he obviously didn't want to get the topic closer to the Black King, this guy was finally locked up by him, so that he wouldn't keep arguing and yelling, "This is the Twilight Spear of yours?" ”

"Yes." Elsie nodded, and her eyes softened as she looked at the spear in her hand. "It's one of the five artifacts that Goddess Twilight left on earth, but it's much larger than the other four in terms of divine power alone. Because this is the only thing that grows with the goddess all the way. …… Also, my mother's relics, so I always carry them with me. ”

"Your mother's ...... Relic? Sean blinked, looking a little shocked.

In his memory, or the time he played the game, the Twilight Spear was the most powerful artifact of the Twilight Church. However, no one has been able to use this artifact at all - as the only known artifact in the player community that has not been controlled, it has attracted countless players to join the Twilight Church at the time, but the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel: no one can activate the artifact's related tasks.

At that time, countless players tried for a long time, and finally had to give up. At one point, they even thought that the existence of this ownerless artifact was simply a supplement and refinement of the game's background. Unexpectedly, the core of this artifact's unsealing was not in the Twilight Church in the Western Continent, but on the Boulder family, which had long been shattered in the Southern Continent - if it weren't for Sean, Elsie would have died long ago, and this artifact would not have been able to be published.

Thinking of this, Sean couldn't help but give a middle finger to the mission planning in the game - how could players find out about such a sinister thing.

Soon, though, another question came to Sean's mind.

The previous owner of the Twilight Spear appeared five hundred years ago, and Elsie actually said that the gun was a relic of his mother, so doesn't this mean that Elsie's mother lived for at least seven hundred years? Being able to live for so long, this is not an ordinary existence, at least it is infinitely close to the level of a super strong!

Sean's gaze began to look up and down at Elsie.

"How?" Being looked at by Sean like this, even Elsie couldn't help but feel a little weird, "Why are you staring at me like this." ”

"Sanctuary?" Sean asked.

"See?" Elsie smiled, with a very happy look on his face, which showed that his happiness was sincere, "Because of the help of a few artifacts, the analysis and understanding of the rules is very fast, plus the awakening of the bloodline, so I am now in the middle of the holy domain, and I am not far from the upper level of the holy domain." …… Unfortunately, my knowledge of the law is limited to the dark law of the goddess. ”

Elsie's mother is not an ordinary existence, so if Elsie does not have a special bloodline, Sean will find it strange. However, in this way, he will be able to understand why Patchouli can become a "free creator", which obviously has something to do with her bloodline ability.

Of course, Sean, who had just woken up, soon realized a question again: "How many artifacts?" Don't tell me, the only three artifacts left in the Twilight Church are in your possession. ”

"I'm sorry. You've guessed it. Elsie laughed, revealing a smug look that stinked a fart, "In addition to the Twilight Spear, the Nightfall Armor and the Twilight Shield are all in my hands. These two artifacts were created by a special person after the goddess grew up, and although they have accompanied the goddess for a long time, they are still not as old as the twilight spear after all. So the power is a little weaker than the Twilight Spear. …… However, all three artifacts were possessed before the goddess lit the divine fire, so she was able to survive the darkest period. ”

Sean nodded knowingly.

It is said that Twilight was a knight's squire before she grew up, and on the day she left her school, her teacher gave her a spear as a gift. This spear, which is now the Twilight Spear, is the first artifact that truly witnessed the goddess from weak to strong and accompanied the goddess's life, so it ranks first among the five major artifacts left by the Twilight goddess in the world.

The Armor of the Night and the Twilight Shield afterward. It was created by a special person after the Twilight Goddess stepped into the Sanctuary. It is said that it was because of the victory of this war that Twilight made Twilight realize the majesty of the night for the first time, so both the Night Armor and the Twilight Shield have special abilities that make Twilight almost invisible in the night environment.

With her spear, shield, and armor, the Twilight Goddess fights more and more without suspense, until she finally ignites the divine fire and rises to the kingdom of God, and sits on an equal footing with the gods.

As for the Eye of Nightlight, it is a helmet, an artifact created in the Kingdom of God after Twilight became a god. Its function is very simple, that is, to be able to peek through the shadows. Under the power of this helmet, even if the enemy escapes into the astral plane, they will be pulled out without mercy, not to mention the sneaky guys who hide in the shadows.

The Shadow of Darkness is a cloak that was created in the Kingdom of God when the goddess participated in the battle of Ragnarok. But when she made this cape. The god of darkness has fallen, so this cloak was actually created by taking some of the godhead and divine power of the god of darkness, which also caused the goddess of twilight to transform the power of the law from night to darkness, thus gaining some of the divine power and priesthood of the god of darkness.

As one of the few gods who didn't fall in the battle of Ragnarok, Twilight was lucky. It's just that there were no fallen gods in that battle. Most of them were badly injured and had to seal themselves into sleep, but the Twilight Goddess still left some behind-her descendants founded the Twilight Church with the five artifacts left by the Twilight Goddess before she fell asleep, and it was once so strong that even the God of Dawn had to step sideways.

But unfortunately, since the god war that affected several gods in the Ash Age, the Twilight Church has gradually declined, and even two of the five powerful artifacts have been destroyed. If it weren't for the Night's Armor and Twilight's Shield, which the Twilight Goddess had before she lit the fire, they would have been shattered in that battle - and if that were the case, there would probably be no remnants of the Twilight Church.

But in any case, Elsie's appearance and return to the Twilight Church did make it possible for the Twilight Church to flourish again - maybe others don't know, but after hearing Elsie say something about him over the years, he knows it clearly: Anyone who can be recognized by the Twilight Spear is the darling of the Twilight Goddess, and is an apostle of God who belongs to the gods recognized and trusted by the gods, and its status is much higher than that of ordinary sons and saints.

Apostles, this is the ultimate power of the church.

At present, Elsie cannot be regarded as an apostle - because the so-called apostles are devout believers who have stepped into the kingdom of God, and they can travel between the kingdom of God and the material world, and they are a very special existence. However, apostles generally do not appear easily, only during the time of the war of the gods, when the earthly faith power of the gods is about to be uprooted, the apostles may appear, and of course, not all churches will have apostles.

At present, in the entire Miracle Continent, the only church that can have apostles is probably none other than the Morning Light Church.

However, as long as the St. Joels Empire is not on the verge of extinction, the apostles will definitely not appear.

"But I really didn't expect that you were assassinated as soon as you arrived in the Western Continent, and it's really hard for you to survive." After listening to Elsie's understatement of his life in the Western Continent, Sean also had to sigh, "Is Cassius okay?" ”

"Thanks to Uncle Cassius's desperate protection along the way, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today." Elsie smiled. There was a hint of nostalgia on his face, "Uncle Cassius is now the commander of the Twilight Shield Division, a heavy cavalry force that is good at charging into battle, and it is not mainly about cutting through enemy formations. ”

Knights, unlike cavalry units.

The so-called knights are on horses and can ride and fight. Dismount and fight on foot, and they are basically powerful knights at the silver level. Unlike cavalry units, which are almost completely wiped out once they fall into enemy formation, or when their charge is blocked, the Knights are still able to exert extremely terrifying combat effectiveness even if they are caught in enemy formation. Because of this, there are some special knights who do not aim to cut through the enemy's formation, but often use the enemy's flowering method of combat - that is, directly charging the enemy's army, and then dismounting in the enemy's formation.

"When I heard that my acquaintances were all right, I was relieved." Sean laughed, "But then again. Why did you come to me all of a sudden? ”

"It's a long story." Elsie laughed.

"It's okay, you say, I have time." Sean smiled and poured Elsie a cup of tea.

In fact, Sean does miss his friendship with Elsie back then. Before, he was still worried that Elsie had gone to the Western Continent for so many years, and he had also gotten rid of the situation of the weak boy back then, and became a big man with a pivotal position in the Western Continent today, and he didn't know if there would be any changes. But at this moment, seeing that Elsie was still the same as before, Sean's heart that had been carrying it was also put down.

Elsie wasn't kind to Sean either. I took a sip of the tea directly, and then my eyes suddenly lit up: "It's Xiaohua tea." ”

"Yes. Your favorite. Sean smiled, he remembered that when he was in Elsie's territory, Elsie lived a very simple life, not at all like a nobleman, and only occasionally drank a few sips of tea made from small wildflowers that could only be picked in the Modger Territory, this guy would be a little more like a nobleman. I've had a lot of picking, so don't worry, there's time. ”

"Okay." Elsie took a few more sips of nostalgia, and then smacked her lips, as if she was savoring something. "Originally, I planned to borrow the Daolane Kingdom, and then send you a message and go directly to the Thousand-Year Covenant Empire. But I didn't expect that the situation on the side of the Millennium Covenant Empire is even more chaotic than I imagined, so I thought about it and went to your side for a vacation. ”

"Vacation?" Sean, who was pouring tea, was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "It's a shame that you can figure it out." …… But on the side of the Millennium Covenant Empire, what kind of chaos is it? Didn't I hear that the situation was stabilized? The eastern and southern fronts of the Millennium Covenant Empire are now fully shrinking, and although the scale of the undead army is very strong, it has not found any good entry points for a while, so the two sides are temporarily stalemate. ”

"It used to be like this, but now the church has stepped in." Elsie opened his mouth and said, "The chaos in the Western Continent and the Northern Continent, you should also know that there are too many churches mixed here, and almost all of them are crazy to expand their mission areas. This small-scale invasion of the Bone Plane just gave these guys an excuse, so now basically all churches have sent people to the side of the Millennium Covenant Empire......"

Elsie gave a look you know.

"Well, I'm really in silent mourning for the Millennium Covenant Empire." Sean laughed, and the laughter was quite hearty - as long as he thought that the thousand-year-old Covenant Empire now had a large territory that could not be recovered, and then he had to devote his mind to maintaining the deterioration of law and order caused by these churches in the country, there were indeed few people who could stand it, "But there should be a lot of strong churches here this time, right?" ”

"Originally, there should have been the pure white wings of the Dawn Church, but the situation on the side of the Maggie Empire has been a little unstable recently, so the Dawn Church does not dare to send the strongest knights in its country." Elsie thought for a moment, then spoke, "And I don't know why, it seems that several other knights of the St. Joels Empire also have missions, and they are currently in a state of full contraction...... The dynamics of the Northern Duchy Federation are also a bit strange, the God of War Church is also silent, and the subtle thing is that the shrinking defense line of the St. Joels Empire seems to be faintly aimed at the Northern Duchy Federation. ”

Sean still knows a little secret about this.

At present, the Church of the God of War has become Emily's hall of words, and she can issue whatever oracle she wants. As a result, in such a situation, the Commonwealth of the Northern Duchy has faintly tended to develop into a unified power with a federal parliamentary system. If it was in the past, the St. Joels Empire would definitely wreak havoc, but now that the St. Joels Empire has died so many strong people, the imperial power, which is unwilling to be a puppet, has also had a posture of resistance, so before the civil strife was resolved. The St. Joles Empire will certainly not cause any more trouble.

In this way, it also gave the Northern Duchy Federation a great opportunity for development.

In the same way, the Maggie Empire is clearly aiming at this state - this country where there is not much in the whole country, and there are the most magicians, and it is obvious that the brain is turning faster than others. With such a powerful and terrifying neighbor, if the St. Joels Empire dared to transfer the pure white wings away at this time, the Maggie Empire would definitely start a war.

"So, there aren't many powerful churches left?" Sean asked.

"Well, I don't want to join in the fun. So the Twilight Church is not involved in the war for the time being. The situation of the Church of the Goddess of Life is also quite delicate...... The Chief Saintess is on your side, and she has brought a group of priests to help you garrison the Savage Fortress......" Elsie said this, and suddenly laughed, "Haha, you are really powerful enough, you haven't changed at all, this ability to rob while the fire is hot." …… Now the Thousand-Year Covenant Empire calls you a wolf, and they take advantage of them to take over the Savage Fortress without them noticing. ”

"Nonsense. If I don't enter this fortress, those undead armies can really go all the way south. Sean rolled his eyes. I'm just limiting the destruction of that army of the undead to a single extent for the sake of everyone's good. ”

"Then let me ask you, after those undead retreat, will you return the Savage Fortress to the Millennium Covenant Empire?"

"It's a fart." Sean rolled his eyes again, "The Savage Lands are all mine, and I'm thinking about how to get these six gates back." Do you want me to return the Savage Fortress? Even if I am willing to pay it back, will the Millennium Covenant Empire dare to take it? ”

"Haha, you're still as shameless as ever." Elsie laughed, "That's probably it anyway, and now it's a mess on the side of the Millennium Covenant Empire." There are all kinds of situations one after another, and I heard that several undead kings of this corpse invasion are fighting with some hermit powerhouses, and the war is extremely widespread, and now the thousand-year alliance empire does not dare to send troops to fight with the undead army, and even the scouts have to arrange legendary powerhouses to investigate. ”

"Someone can beat Lake and they can't be distracted?" Sean also became curious, "What kind of hermit is it?" So strong? This must have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years, right? ”

Elsie shrugged, "Who knows." …… Anyway, I can't preach now, and I can't fight a war, so I just bring someone to you for a vacation. When the situation over there is a little more stable and the army of the undead begins to prepare for the destruction of the dead, I will just enter the battlefield directly from the Savage Fortress. ”

"Okay, that's up to you." Sean doesn't care, he's good friends with Elsie anyway, and of course it doesn't matter if this guy wants to stay here to rest.

"By the way, I heard that you are now at war with the fascist kingdom, do you want me to help?" Elsie suddenly approached Sean's side, looking a little obscene.

"You're an orthodox church knight of the Twilight Church, and you can participate in the War of the Thrones?" Sean was really scared by Elsie this time.

"What's this, we'll take off the church emblem when the time comes, or you just replace our armaments, who knows we're church knights." Elsie waved his hand, "In the Western Continent and the Northern Continent, the Church Knights would have starved to death if they hadn't gone to fight the autumn wind once in a while. …… Do you think the churches on the Western Continent are rich? If there were really so many believers and so rich, those churches in the Western Continent would not have rushed to the Millennium Covenant Empire. ”

"Dare to love your church knights in the Western Continent and make cameo appearances as robbers and bandits."

"Don't say it so ugly, what kind of robbers and bandits, we are at most a cameo mercenary legion." Elsie pursed her lips, "Don't worry, we've done this kind of thing many times, and we know it well, so there will definitely be no accidents, and we won't let you be condemned by the Peace Council." …… And you and I are so familiar, if you hire us, I'll give you a 20% discount, how about it? ”

Sean looked at Elsie speechlessly: "I was wrong. ”

"What?" Elsie was a little dazed.

"I always thought you hadn't changed, but I didn't expect you to change." Sean said with a look of regret, "You wouldn't have done such a dirty thing before. ”

"Cut, don't forget it." Elsie glanced at Sean.

"Let's talk about the cost." Sean didn't hesitate to speak, "If I send out an armament, how much will it cost?" ”

"Don't you want to?" Elsie pursed her lips, but it was just for show, "It depends on how long you're going to hire us. 100,000 gold coins a month, and 500,000 if you are employed for more than half a year, how about it? ”

"Damn, you're robbing!" Sean immediately slapped the table, "It's too expensive!" There can't be such a rich person in the Western Continent! ”

"Don't you look at what level my Dark Moon strength is, one of the five strongest knights in the Western Continent!" Elsie said without giving in, "100,000 gold coins a month is already very little, okay, we have an absolute employment guarantee, and the orders issued by the employer require no bargaining!" ”

"Two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins in half a year."

"You slaughtered too hard with this knife, you cut half directly, did you bargain like this?"

"Well, two hundred fifty thousand and one thousand gold coins. …… You have to be considerate of me, it's easy for me to manage such a big country, you don't know how big the cost is, I think the money hurts. For the sake of our good friends, you can't be so black-hearted. ”

"You have to be considerate of me, I have 10,000 men waiting for me to eat. …… Four hundred and eighty thousand gold coins. ”

"You've only brought about 5,000 people with you." Sean said with a look of disdain, "I am in charge of logistics and armaments, two hundred and fifty-five thousand gold coins!" ”

"War kills, and I'm going to give my knights a pension." Elsie didn't give an inch, "And I have to give an explanation to those old men in the church, so that they can turn a blind eye, so this up and down also needs to be dotted, 460,000 gold coins." ”

"You really don't know anything! Say good friendship! Who else in the Twilight Church can command you now, it's not up to you to decide. 260,000 gold coins, no more, I'm really poor. ”

"I've done a survey before I came, and you can make millions of dollars by selling a few demonic weapons. …… For the sake of our former friendship, it's just 450,000 gold coins. ”

"It's too dark." Sean resolutely disagreed, "It is said that talking about money hurts feelings, we used to have such a beautiful relationship, can you bear to let money stain?" Two hundred and seventy thousand. ”

"It's too expensive to talk about feelings, and it's impossible to have no money, 440,000."

“……”

Standing outside the door of the study, listening to the arguments between Elsie and Sean inside, and revealing each other's old backgrounds, scars and black histories, the four people standing outside the door, such as Cassius, Nar, Stalin, and Sain, all looked at each other and didn't know what to say, and their expressions were full of embarrassment. (To be continued.) )

PS: There have been a lot of things lately, so annoying...... I'm so tired every day. I try to keep it up to date, but sometimes I'm really tired and lying down or something, so please forgive me a little bit. And in order to apologize.,I've been updating as much as possible on the big chapter recently.,I won't say anything about splitting or anything like that.。
