Because of her secret travels, Asuna didn't stay in Void City for long. After leaving a copy of the relevant information collected by Simi, Asuna soon left Void City, compared to Sean, Asuna needs to be busy with a lot of things, after all, Asuna does not control the "future" like Sean, although Elizabeth and Simi can help in internal affairs, but these two people are not as strong as a Neil, so many things need her to do herself.

Of course, more importantly, the attrition of Thundering Edge is also a problem that makes Asuna feel down.

Thundering Edge is not only the descendant of Asuna's troops, but also the elite troops she relies on to become famous, and compared to the entire Tonis Territory, a Thundering Edge can exert far more combat power than the tens of thousands of troops she now has placed in the Tonis Fortress.

But this time, a third of the staff was reduced, which was also a very serious loss for Asuna.

Not to mention that it is extremely difficult to replenish elite troops, you must know that the force of the Thundering Frontier can be regarded as a free force. Asuna spends all of her military expenses on the other two troops, so Thundering Edge, in addition to three meals a day and extra meals at high training, they are paid about the same as when they first started following Asuna, and much less than the other two troops in the Tonys Fortress.

This is an unthinkable thing for an elite force.

But that's the case, Thundering Edge is completely condensed by loyalty and submission to Asuna, so it can be said that it is almost impossible to replenish the source of troops, this is purely a force that fights less and less.

Therefore, the number of people was suddenly reduced by nearly 3,000, plus the hundreds of Thundering Edge soldiers who had been determined to be unable to go to the battlefield again, and the Thundering Blade, which originally had an establishment of only 10,000 people, now only had more than 6,500 people left.

Faced with such a situation. Of course, Asuna immediately rushed back to discuss the next series of countermeasures with Elizabeth and Simi, so naturally she would not linger any longer.

Before leaving, she also made a special trip to visit Vivien, and after confirming that Vivian's life would not be in any danger, and that she had been dealt with by the chief priest who served the goddess of life, Asuna finally felt at ease.

After Asuna left, Sean and the others were also not idle.

Originally, there was no way to continue to carry out matters such as the future development of the territory and military arrangements at this time. After Heitins's plan, the focus now naturally shifted to the contract documents regarding the territory. Otherwise, no matter how much it develops, it will only become someone else's wedding dress in the end. As for the seizure plan of the territory contract document, it has been transferred to William and Neil to be jointly responsible, in this case, Sean directly granted the two the right to mobilize all the resources and related appointments of the entire territory, including Sean himself, to obey the arrangements of these two people.

Of course, the reason why Sean did not participate in the discussion of this matter. It's because he has more important things to do.

The moment Asuna left, the entire Void City seemed to be in some kind of tense atmosphere.

This atmosphere is not deliberately rendered. But it is also because there is no suppression. Therefore, the inhabitants of the Void City and the priests and messengers of the other temples will soon be able to feel it.

Looking at the hurried appearance of the Lord's Mansion and the constant flow of people in and out, many people felt that there seemed to be some kind of oppressive atmosphere in the air. In this case, many would have been ready to visit Sean. The priests of Connery, the lord, all tacitly chose to wait and see, in this regard. These priests and messengers did not look at all like worshippers of the gods, but rather like merchants who tried to speculate.

It's just that no one knows the Tao of the Dao, at this time, the chief priest of the temple of the goddess of life. The future candidate for the Holy Maiden, Heatley, was summoned by Sean.

Perhaps it is not polite to use summons to some believers in the goddess of life, but judging from Sean's methods, this is indeed a summons, not an invitation. Because many people have seen Heatley enter the Lord's Mansion under the escort of a team of Thunder Lions, but the Templars of the Church of the Goddess of Life, who had followed Heatley in the past, and the two chief priest attendants did not appear in the procession.

It's a very simple room.

There was only one large bed in the middle of the room, the length and width of the bed reached three meters, it was covered with soft cushions, the quilt and pillows were silk, but there were no curtains on the bed, which was essentially different from the beds of most nobles in this world, but like the beds of commoners and ascetics. Of course, neither commoners nor ascetics could afford to use such cushions and silk covers.

In each of the four corners of the room was a huge bucket containing a huge block of ice condensed by magic. The coolness of the ice cubes is very good at reducing the summer heat - in fact, with the current level of magic, it is not difficult to draw a magic circle that can keep the room at a constant temperature, but in this room it is not doing this, but using this ancient cooling method to cool the room.

This has to be said to be a very costly and labor-intensive act.

Other than that, there was only a desk by the window, with quills, ink, and white letterhead spread out. Sitting at the desk, you can see the street at the main entrance of the Lord's Palace, and at this moment there is a team of Thunder Lion soldiers standing guard at the main entrance, and it is strictly forbidden for any unrelated people to approach.

Heatley stood in this room at a loss, because the room was a relatively private place for nobles or anyone with status, and not everyone could enter. Of course, usually if you are forcibly taken to a nobleman's room, then this also means that something very bad can happen, so it is normal for Heatley to be a little flustered and overwhelmed.

In fact, she wanted to leave, but the four Thunder Lion soldiers standing outside the room dispelled Heatley from that idea.

She is a priest, not to mention that the followers of the goddess of life are not particularly good at fighting, and even if they are good at fighting, priests are usually not the preparation of battle sequences.

But it didn't take long for Heatley to wait, and the door was soon opened, just as Heatley had expected. The rumored lord, Sean. Sir Connelly had already stepped in. Of course, the situation was actually a little unexpected by Heatley, because there was a very delicate and beautiful girl behind Sean, and judging from the outfit on the other party, it was not difficult for Heatley to see that the other party should be a magician.

This is Cecilia.

Heatley thought to herself.

After coming to Void City for so long, she certainly wouldn't miss some information that she should inquire about, so she naturally knew very well about the intelligence information that had already been made public in Void City and even the entire Panda Territory. Whether it is William or Neil, Sean, Cecilia, Alfred and other extremely famous people, Heatley will definitely not admit to it. She still has this confidence.

"You're Chief Priest of Heatley, aren't you?" As soon as Sean entered, the door was quickly closed again.

As a priest and messenger sent by the Goddess of Life Church and still staying in Void City, Sean has of course heard of it, but after all, he has not met him. It's just a sight to be. Sean was still a little surprised.

Heatley is very young in appearance, she has long brown hair. He was wearing a white priest's robe. If you cut the dress a little shorter, this kind of robe will be similar to a dress, and you can just put it on from beginning to end anyway. It's just that thinking about it in this world, it seems that all priest robes are of this unified system, at most the colors and patterns and the emblems are different, so Sean is relieved.

It's just that. The robe was worn on Heatley's body, but it looked a little less serious.

Heatley is only 1.6 meters tall, and she also seems to have a poor breasted body, if not for her face being a standard girl's face. So I'm afraid some people believe that Heatley is a minor Lori. Originally, as a priest, he was supposed to exude a divine aura and look solemn and majestic, but Heatley felt more like a little girl's innocence, and this strong contrast was really unforgettable.

"Just call me Heatley, please." Heatley nodded, she didn't notice that in such a moment, Sean had already observed her from beginning to end, so she wasn't too wary, "Excuse me, my lord, why did you invite me here?" ”

"There's something I need your help with." Sean nodded, and then began to take off his clothes.

"Wow!" Heatley's reaction was obviously excited, her face became extremely red as soon as she brushed it, and there seemed to be a faint heat evaporating rapidly, "Your lord, you...... You...... What are you going to do! ”

"What for?" Sean was a little dazed, "Aren't you a priest who believes in the goddess of life?" ”

"Yes."

"Well, of course, I'm inviting you here to help me heal." Sean looked like he was right-on-place.

"Heal?" Heatley was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, even she didn't know what to say, and there was a sense of obvious relief in her tone just now, "May I ask where it hurt?" ”

Sean tilted slightly, revealing his arm that had been wiped off a piece of flesh by a single shot from Berair.

Heatley's eyes swept over Sean's body, and found that Sean's muscles were well-defined, full of a sense of angularity and strength - this was due to the changes brought about by high strength and endurance. In terms of data-based body, Sean's physique and various abilities will change due to changes in these data, of course, there will not be much change in the whole, but it is very normal for the body to become strong and muscular.

"This injury is a bit serious." Heatley glanced at Sean's left arm, and her expression became serious and solemn, "What is this crystal?" There's a strong aura of divine power on it. ”

"This is the magic of the Church of Ice and Winter, originally to stop my bleeding and prevent the deterioration of my injuries." Sean opened his mouth to explain, "Do you need to remove this crystal?" ”

"Yes." Heatley finally understood why Enkos would let her bring a drop of life essence.

Wounds like this that need to be repaired by the flesh can only be completely repaired by the power of the life essence. However, because the life essence is very precious, it is of course impossible to use it at will under normal circumstances, which is also the reason why there are hundreds of people who will not be able to continue to go to the battlefield because of injuries, and Asuna cannot afford to consume so much life essence.

Every drop of this precious thing is worth a lot.

If it weren't for the hope of spreading the belief in the goddess of life in Sean's territory, Heatley would never have given Sean a drop of life essence for free, and the value of this thing is so high that even Sean today can't afford it.

"Different magic spells will conflict, and it is indeed necessary for the lord to disarm the magic of this goddess of ice and snow and winter."

"I see." Sean nodded, turned his head to Cecilia, and said, "Please help me get Shephaneo." (To be continued......)
