Chapter 72 Piety

"Crimson Grand Duke, he is now Your Excellency, recently I don't know why, His Excellency Richard suddenly summoned all the strong people under his command, and now several large countries and some churches are very uneasy, for fear that they will become the target of his next attack, there are too many strong people in the town under the command of the Crimson Grand Duke, and there are famous generals such as Anlekara, and the Grand Duke himself is invincible, so powerful, why does he have to gather forces, send an Anlekara at will, plus a strong man in the town country, you can destroy a principality, since His Excellency Richard summoned the strong, it means that his target is definitely not a principality, nor will it be a small kingdom。 ”

Sim's last memory is still stuck at the critical juncture of the invaders' war, he was locked up in the city of fire by the Duke of Glasburg, and then suddenly fell into a deep sleep, and the nouns spoken by the count's wife such as the crimson archduke and Anlekara were extremely unfamiliar, but he grasped the key word, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "Lord Richard is really gathering the strong, I am going." ”

"But it's a bit too late, and it's said that the deadline is less than 10 days away. ”

"I'll be there in five days. ”

"Five days, but when you set out, it will take three days just to prepare your clothes, your retinue, food and water for the road. ”

Sim jumped to his feet, grabbed the maid and commanded, "Go and prepare me a hunting suit and a sword, and three good horses, and a bag of bacon and bread, and do it at once, and I will set out in an hour, and those who are not as strong as me will not need to take them." The last sentence, Chim roared out with great pride,

Then Sim simply washed and changed clothes, hung up his sword and got on his horse, and in less than an hour, he rode out of the Mirror Lake Castle, and flew away in the direction of the blue water oasis, on the roof of the castle, Ekaterina held her face in both hands, and was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time.

After a long time, she groaned, "Oh, my little darling, you are so handsome." ”

After Chim's awakening this time, he seems to have changed as a person, his actions are like wind and fire, he is decisive and capable, and he no longer pays attention to any luxury enjoyment, a few horses and a bag of grain, he dares to cross the kingdom alone, and go to the blue water oasis far away in the bloodstained land.

"Someone. Suddenly the lady cried out,

The two maids immediately appeared behind her, but the bruises on their originally delicate faces had not yet faded.

The Countess was still looking at Sim's back affectionately, and said, "Pack up the carriage, gather my most elite warriors, and take all the strong men who can handle it, and we are ready to go to the Crimson Duchy to participate in the war of His Excellency Richard." ”

The two maids flew away, and it won't be long before the territory of nearly 10,000 square kilometers will boil with Mirror Lake Castle as the center, and the warriors who belong to Countess Catherine and the Duke of Glasburg will gather on the shore of Mirror Lake, and then rush to the border between the Sequoia Kingdom and the Crimson Duchy, and the Countess will take the first step and go to the Blue Water Oasis City to meet Richard and express her willingness to attach Ji Wei in this operation,

When the maid left, the countess still had a nymphomaniac smile on her face, but her eyes saw power, wealth, and ambition.

As the focus of attention in the western part of the continent, Richard, the crimson Grand Duke of Faro, is quiet at the moment, except for a few generals who are the farthest away, most of them have gathered in Blue Water Oasis City, although there are still a few days before the time limit set by Richard, but many people can't wait,

"Boss, let's go, it doesn't matter if you don't have those little guys. ”

In Richard's consciousness, Tiramisu's voice sounded again,

The size of the ogre lord is getting bigger and bigger, it has exceeded six meters at the moment, but there is still no sign of stopping growth, such a huge body size, he is extremely unsuitable for the human-dominated Blue Water Oasis City, the buildings here are too small, and too exquisite, except for a few wide streets, those alleys ogres can't squeeze in, and as soon as he turns around, he may inadvertently squeeze down a house,

And wherever the ogre appears, the horses, cows, and dogs raised by the ordinary people will be frightened and run around, or paralyzed on the ground and unable to move, and even some magical beasts used as mounts or combat aids will be affected, so in this increasingly prosperous city, the space for the ogre's activities is getting smaller and smaller.

Tiramisu couldn't have gone to war sooner so he could get out of this damn place, and the Ogre Lord felt that he hadn't been active for a long time, and if it continued like this, it would have to rejuvenate itself to keep its joints stainless steel.

Regarding Tiramisu's JianyΓ¬, Richard just smiled indifferently and passed on his decision in his consciousness, "When the envoy of the Iron Triangle Empire arrives, I will talk about the war." ”

A group of followers immediately found the keyword: Iron Triangle Empire,

In the magic room, Richard is buried in the drawing of the crimson flowing fire, this composition is nearing the end, it only takes two or three days to complete, but this composition can not produce a magical soul, such as the crimson flowing fire, the fourth-order construction is not too difficult for the current Richard, so you can hold a relaxed attitude, while chatting with the followers, while drawing the composition,

During the break, Richard took out a piece of magic paper, drew a special magic circle on it, and wrote down another sentence: "Try not to get involved in this war." ”

Soon after the line was written, it faded away, and then the magic paper burned violently, turning to ashes in an instant.

In the distant Church of the God of Courage, the cardinals had just finished an important prayer service, and at this moment they were walking out of the Grand Temple in twos and threes, and they were talking to each other.

Busquets is a newly appointed cardinal, known for his outstanding merits, courage to deal with Richard the blasphemer, and accurate judgment, several major movements of the Crimson Duchy have fallen into Busquets's expectations, especially his accurate prediction that the strategic direction of the Crimson Duchy is in the ancestral highlands, and he is temporarily unable and not interested in using troops to the East, so he became famous, and even attracted the attention of the god of courage, Nei'an, and was promoted to cardinal with an absolute majority of votes soon after,

At this moment, Busquets was talking with the two elderly cardinals, and the topic was of course inseparable from the latest movements of Richard to gather the strong, and he suddenly felt a slight heat in a holy book in his arms, so he quietly made an excuse and hurried back to his residence,

After carefully closing the door, Busquets opened the canon and quickly flipped to the designated page, where a line slowly emerged: "Try not to get involved in this war." ”

Busquets was taken aback, his heart immediately beat wildly, he looked at it several times, confirmed that it was Richard's handwriting, and there was nothing abnormal in the way of communication, the handwriting appeared for a moment, and then slowly disappeared, Busquets raised his head again, looked around his room with extremely cautious and guarded eyes, and confirmed that it was quiet and normal, and then let out a long breath,

This room is standard for cardinals, so it includes several rooms, which are tall and far-reaching, but Busquets has not added any furnishings after moving in, and the whole room is extremely rudimentary, maintaining the original appearance of not even the walls after the construction was completed, and there is no decoration on the few pieces of furniture, not even the carvings.

There are a few robes on the hanger against the wall, which have been washed and faded a little, and in terms of the furnishings in the room alone, even the priest in the smallest church in the countryside may live a little more decently than here, looking at the scene in front of him, no one will be associated with Busquets's previous life, and when he was still presiding over a temple, he was known for his luxurious life, and he was reported to His Majesty the Pope several times,

But now, Busquets has gone from one extreme to the other, before becoming a cardinal, he announced that he would live a life of asceticism before atoning for his sins, at first people just thought he was doing a trick in front of people's eyes, but after three years, such voices have decreased a lot, until now, more than ten years have passed, all the doubts about him have turned into praise, and even Ney has noticed that there is such an ascetic among his senior clergy,

Busquets sat at the table, his mind suddenly trance, thinking of the day when he changed his fate many years ago, when Richard handed the piece of paper with magic written in front of him, he never imagined that his whole life, and even his whole faith, would change after that.

His eyes fell on the holy scriptures used to transmit information to Richard, and suddenly his heart trembled, the magic that Richard gave him, it is true that even Nei'an can hide it, over the years, he has been secretly communicating with Richard, passing on the most confidential news of the Holy See to Richard, but he has only obtained more and more divine graces from Nei'an, so much that he is afraid of himself,

Today's Busquets is already an eighteenth-level great priest, this level has barely touched the threshold of the pope, of course, that is only in a very special situation, in the history of the god of courage, there are few popes below the nineteenth level, but only one has reached the twenty-first level,

However, the cardinals, including the Pope, are very optimistic about Busquets' self-discipline and penance, and they all believe that Busquets' promotion to the nineteenth level in the future is not a problem at all.

Whenever this time, Busquets's heart is not relieved, but fear, he is afraid that he will be exposed to the sight of the god of courage for too long, in that case, God's eyes will always see through the secrets of his heart, so once he hears a similar voice, Busquets always euphemistically refuses, saying that he has no extravagant hopes for the pope's throne, and even twice he can move up the rank of cardinals, he politely refuses,

However, the more this happened, Busquets had no choice but to find that the more divine grace he received.
