Chapter 1616 Is the dragon family a dragon act, or is it an alliance with a magician?
On the vast expanse of blue waves, colorful big birds spread their wings, circled and wailed, and kept cursing.
In the city of Nevis, the spies assigned by the Glorious Holy See raised their heads, stared at Yun Yun in dumbfounded, and swallowed a swear word.
Dragon, dragon!
Two dragons!
Spread your wings, fly out from the side of Igor Peak, fly around the mountain in a circle, and plunge back into the mountainside.
A giant white dragon, and a golden dragon with a metallic color, sometimes bit each other head to tail, and sometimes catch up and fly side by side.Moreover, there was no fight...
Did not fight!
This is so anomalous!
Isn't it said that dragons are all violent, ferocious, and miserly behemoths?
Didn't it mean that the Dragon Clan attaches great importance to their territory, and those who are not allowed to enter will be immediately regarded as enemies and expelled?
Didn't it mean that dragons of different races couldn't live together, otherwise they would fight immediately, even if dragons of the same race were likely to fight?
Why do they live in Nevis?Live on Igor Peak?
Why, they didn't fight each other, and the magicians of Nevis, didn't fight?
Could it be that these giant dragons have formed an alliance with the Magic Council...?
The spy shivered, and silently retreated into the crowd.On the street, there are small officials in charge of municipal management beating gongs and drums, promoting along the street:
"Everyone, don't panic, don't panic!"
"These two giant dragons are here to cooperate with our magician's research and will not harass ordinary residents!"
"Whatever you should do, as long as you don't watch from a close distance, don't get close to their dragon lair - of course you can't get close - it won't trigger their attacks!"
It seems that the two sides really agreed.The spy felt tight in his chest, climbed into the carriage parked at the side, and shook the reins.With a light drink, the passenger carriage started to "da da":
This information must be spread quickly!
Let Glory Holy City know that the magicians have dragons!Suspected of forming an alliance with the Dragon Clan!
Those who want to fight over, those who want to start a big war, quickly change direction, that is the Dragon Clan!
...Oh, now there is no Glorious Holy City...
The Glorious Holy City is indeed gone.The Pope, the paladins, the ascetics, the chief referee, the legends who escaped from the Holy City of Glory and the legends who came from all directions, after repeated testing and research, they finally confirmed one thing:
The Glorious Holy City has become a cursed city.
In other words, after summoning divine grace and perishing with the demons suppressed under the holy city, this city is no longer suitable for mortals to live in.
God's grace is too strong, it is for the city in the sky, and it descends to the ground.Except for a few benefactors who are specially favored by the Lord of Radiance, the rest of the people are not allowed to live for a long time, and even they are not allowed to set foot around the holy city.
God's radiance, how can mortals be allowed to peep at it at will?
...whatever you want to say.In short, apart from the millions of residents of the Holy City of Glory, except those who have already returned to the kingdom of heaven, the rest, from the most noble pope to the lowest poor, have to live in another place.
For the poor, it is a difficult trek.Abandoning the house, the family business, and even the seriously ill, seriously injured, and dying family members, under the guidance of the clergy, endure hunger and hunger, brave the wind and rain, and move forward step by step.
where to go?
do not know.
How long will it take?
do not know.
What do you do for a living when you reach your destination?
do not know either.
The clergy who lead them can only recite the scriptures over and over again:
"The apostle of the Lord struck the rock with his staff, and water flowed out of the rock, so that the people might drink."
"On the field, there were small round things like frost. They were white in color and tasted like wafers mixed with honey. The apostle of the Lord said to the people, This is the food the Lord has given you."
"The Lord led their way by day in a pillar of cloud, and by night in a pillar of fire he enlightened them, so that they could walk day and night..."
Well, anyway, when following the clergy, they had food to eat and water to drink.If you are sick and in pain, someone will treat you.
Regardless of whether it will relapse more severely in a few days after being treated, in short, someone cured it at that time...
And the clergy, especially the high-ranking clergy, the pope, and the legends, actually bear even greater pressure.
A city with a scale of one million - well, so far, 20 people have died - needs to be relocated, every day when you open your eyes, you have to eat and drink, walk a few steps, and stretch and scatter.
Where are you going?
How much land can accommodate them?
It has to be the whole piece of land, the whole piece of idle land, not the land that has been occupied by people.
The surroundings of the Glorious Holy City are all occupied by high-ranking priests and high-ranking nobles, densely packed, where can we find a piece of land?
There are no tenants to cultivate, land that can be given to newcomers...
The pope is worried, worried, and his head is so sad.This kind of sorrow has no one to share!
The legends who came back for emergency assistance, such as [Unsullied Walker] Siji Frey, and [Hand of Mercy] Sister Marietta, all have noble temperaments and live a clean and simple life.
The ascetic monks, healers, and nuns under them only need such a small area, eat one liter of food a day, and sleep seven feet at night.
It is simply impossible for them to mediate, exert pressure, or even blackmail, and extract land from nearby priests and nobles!
People have no demand at all!
The pope can only work hard with his direct descendants.Promises, communication, and mediation took a lot of effort, and finally found a piece of flat land by the nearby San Burano Lake, and settled the poor——
The price was that Archbishop Mardin, one of the seven electors of the Rhine Kingdom, was acquiesced as the next Pope.
Archbishop Mardin is respected.The inheritance of this position comes from the great prime minister of the Holy Empire.He is also the Pope's agent north of the Holy Mountain, and he is the only clergyman who can be called the "Holy See" besides the Pope.
The only weakness is that the territory occupied by the Archdiocese of Mardin is prosperous and rich, but it is not too large and the population is not too large.
Because of this weakness, the Pope was able to check and balance Archbishop Mardin, keeping him firmly in his diocese, and unable to reach out to the headquarters of the Glorious Holy City.
But this time, the Pope could only make concessions to let the Holy City of Glory breathe a sigh of relief.In addition to civilians who need to be resettled, there are also a large number of clergy who need to be resettled, and a large number of churches that need to be rebuilt——
Although the scriptures say that to place the holy ark, you only need to weave tents with wool and linen threads, and then draw a yard to accommodate the tents and curtains. The world of curtains is up!
The faith of believers will be shaken!
The confidence and glory of the clergy will also be shaken!
The power of faith will have no place to store up, no place to place it... In short, the supreme and glorious Holy See must be matched by the supreme church!
To have a church, to have a house, to have a city, you need a lot of resources.Even if you bow your head to other parishes, you have to slow down your breath.
As for whether the central power of the Glorious Holy See will be permanently sidelined or regained again after the breath is relieved, it is hard to say.
The Pope's original idea was to find a soft persimmon to squeeze, to integrate the power of the glorious Holy See, and to eliminate dissidents by the way.Among them, the Kingdom of Kent, or the Magic Council of Nevis, is one of the candidates.
As for whether the persimmon is soft or not, whether it can be squeezed, or whether to pick individual persimmons, it remains to be further investigated and the decisions of the legends.
And now, just as the soft persimmon was about to be selected, an urgent message came from Nevis:
"dragon?"
"Dragon?"
"Two dragons?"
"Openly appeared in Nevis, did not attack the citizens, and after circling, entered the mountainside of Igor Peak?"
"Moreover, there are two giant dragons of different races..."
The legends of the Holy See passed on the latest news.White and bronze dragons, or brass dragons?They're not deadly rivals, the kind who fight to the death when they meet, but they're definitely not close enough to fly together casually.
Moreover, they were able to enter the mountainside of Igor Peak. It can only be said that they should have reached some kind of agreement with the magicians.
"What level of dragon is it?" Abby Lucio, who has taken over the Holy Knight Order, asked in a deep voice.After many years of fighting and traveling outside, he still knows a lot about the Dragon Clan:
"Adult dragon? Mature dragon? Or... a legendary dragon?"
"I don't know... The spy who sent the news is relatively low-level. He just saw it on the street. He doesn't have the ability to judge the age and ability of the dragon clan..."
The chief referee twisted the message note in his hand, frowning slightly:
"Or, do we need to use higher-level spies to find out the details?"
"You don't need a higher level. He can measure the size, right? Body length, tail length, roughly estimate, you can know which level of dragon it is." Abby Lucio didn't even think about it:
"Measuring the size of giant beasts from a distance, I remember the Holy Knights taught... The spies don't understand? Send a message if you don't understand, let him learn it, and then pass the news over."
If it's just an adult dragon, then there is reason to suspect that it's just a certain dragon's individual, no, a dragon's behavior.Whether it is employment, repayment, private alliance with a certain human, or even a visit, there are all kinds of reasons.
A few years ago, the blasphemer named [Plague Lord], didn't he also have a young silver dragon by his side?
Going forward, didn't a golden dragon visit the capital of the Kingdom of Kent, and then accompanied the blasphemer named "Lord of Thunder" to Nevis?
"So, if it's a legendary dragon, we can judge that it should be an alliance between the dragon clan and the magic council?" The pope stroked his beard, but his brows still remained open.
"No... It should be said that if it is an adult dragon, or a mature dragon, even if we fight it, we should be able to stop it... As long as we can stop it, the dragon clan should have no reason to intervene..."
