Chapter 262: Is it okay for the 391-year-old priest?
Elizabeth glanced at Wang, obviously afraid that his acting skills would be exposed.

The fact that the Salvation Team was familiar with the Lich that destroyed a city would ruin the Salvation Team's reputation if it were revealed.

But she was overthinking.

Wang replied with a serious face: "We were taken advantage of."

He said it with conviction.

Pietro: "Oh?"

Wang: "You are so well-informed. You should know that my teacher told me about the stages of the annihilation crisis. In the third stage, the undead creatures will have common interests with us.

"At that time, the Catalan Legion invaded directly through the portal, and the cult also got in our face. The situation was very critical. At this time, the Lich Elzam appeared and suggested that we cooperate."

Pietro: "Are you sure that the mastermind behind this crisis is the Catalan State Church?"

Wang: "Very sure, we have a lot of evidence related to them and the crisis of destruction."

Pietro nodded: "Understood, give me a copy of the evidence, and I will report it to the Pope. Then maybe I can question the Lagnola Order in the name of the Pope."

Wang: "Have you never questioned them before? They obviously worship such a suspicious god, but there is no priest in the sect, only mages."

Pietro: "This problem is complicated. Catalans do not believe in our Lord. They have their own local beliefs. The Lord God may be some kind of ancient Catalan creature with mythological attributes, a kind of dog-like creature. The existence of a human body with a brain.

“The sages at the seminary suspected that it might be a god in disguise.

"My Lord never likes to intrude on the sphere of influence of other gods, unless it is certain that it is an evil god."

Wang: "Then the Ragnola cult rose up and replaced the original local belief in Catalonia. Do you think you are another god wearing a vest and grabbing territory?"

Pietro: "That's it. Let's go back to the lich."

King: "No, you just said that you were questioning the Lagnola Order in the name of the Pope. Is that just questioning? Can't the Crusaders simply turn their spearhead and attack Catalonia?"

Pietro: "The purpose of the Crusades is to clear the waterway. If Catalonia falls into turmoil, it will also block the waterway. A lot of goods will have to be transported by sea in Catalonia, and then radiate to the entire Golden Bay."

Golden Bay is the largest bay in Gralia. Countries including Catalai, Sissel, Ordas and other countries all have a section of coastline in Golden Bay.

Therefore, the intra-bay route trade in Golden Bay is very developed, and its output value far exceeds that of sea routes across the endless sea to the other side of the world.

Of course, the output value of routes to the other side of the world is not high, mainly because of the main land trade artery of the Shield Road and the Mashunya River.

Compared with sea routes that are difficult to navigate and have no return, land routes that can transport goods stably are more popular among merchants.

What's more, nearly one-third of this land route is a waterway, and the time required to travel by land is not much longer than that by sea.

Wang: "Just because you don't want to affect the business of Golden Bay, you leave the cult that wants to destroy the world alone? Does this meet the expectations of your god?"

Pietro: "Our Lord... I also said when He appeared before, He doesn't like to interfere with matters on the main material plane. So we can only guess what He means. If He directly appears, He tells us to destroy The Order of Ragnola, then we will naturally go through fire and water to complete it.”

King: "But as long as Lancelot doesn't show his Holy Spirit and instruct you to destroy the cult, you will only question him?"

Pietro sighed: "Waging a war requires money. The Crusade came so quickly this time because of the generosity of the anxious businessmen. Besides, there is also a rescue team."

Wang: "Then what if we fail?"

Pietro didn't answer, just smiled, and then changed the subject: "Let's talk about the lich. You said the lich deceived the salvation team?"

Wang: "Yes, he pretended to be curious and approached us, and then expressed his willingness to fight against the Order together. At first, his undead army did not even attack the Pelican Gang, the Pelican Gang who was on the same side as us.

"But when the Catalan legion was wiped out, he showed his true colors and began to harvest the living. In total, less than 2000 people survived in the entire Qianshui City dock area - no, less than 2000 people survived in the entire Qianshui City. [-] people.

"The Lich used us, especially to deal with the master of the Ragnola Order who was in Shallow Water City at the time, as well as the order's representative."

Pietro: "Agent?"

"Yes, Kedia Banuhulyan of the Banuhulyan family."

Knight Teresa frowned: "Banu Julian, isn't that the royal family from Catalonia?"

Wang: "Indeed, the agent is Her Royal Highness the Princess from Catalonia."

Pietro: "You said Erzam relied on the rescue team to deal with these two people? It has been alive for a long time and is a great lich among us." "But his fighting ability is very poor." Wang spread his hands. , "We killed him once. This time he faced the Ragnola Order, and he was quickly beaten until there was only a skull left."

Teresa Knight: "Is it possible that this was a deliberate show of weakness?"

Wang originally wanted to say that it was impossible given Elzam's character, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he really had a good personal relationship with the lich, so he replied: "It's possible. In short, we have been used. Now we are not I don’t know where it was hidden.”

Pietro stared at the king for several seconds, and then sighed: "This is going to be difficult. If we just wipe out the undead army, but don't destroy the lich, the Crusaders' goal will not be achieved."

Knight Teresa: "Your Majesty the City Lord, do you know what Elzam's purpose is? What does he want to do by gathering such an undead army?"

Wang: "I don't know. I questioned him and he replied that he is an undead creature and it is his instinct to spread death."

Pietro was speechless: "Instinct, it's quite honest."

Wang: "He also asked me not to believe in lich easily."

"You shouldn't trust an evil undead creature easily." Teresa agreed.

Pietro: "Since you don't know the whereabouts of the lich, then it will have nothing to do with you. Thank you..."

Wang: "You can try to detect the spatial fluctuations left by the teleportation spell. A nine-ring mage who is familiar with teleportation magic can easily do this."

"That's the problem," Pietro paused, "This is a crusade organized by the Lancelot Church. How many ninth-circle mages do you think will participate?"

Wang: "What do you mean?"

Pietro: "Although the church has no conflict with the mages, but..."

Wang: "But?"

Pietro spread his hands: "It's hard to explain clearly. In short, we will try to use divination to track the lich's movements."

Wang: "Then it has nothing to do with us?"

Pietro: "Oh, one more thing. Just this morning, the Pope informed us that the priest of the Floating Island Temple has been selected, and it fully meets your requirements."

Wang: "Did you really choose an old lady?"

"Yes, I really chose an old woman." Pietro nodded. "She is 391 years old this year. Even by half-elf standards, she is an old woman. She is starting from the monastery now and will take the airship in about a week. Arrive here.”

Wang: "The airship takes a week. How far did she come from?"

"Her convent is on Mount Oberon," replied the knight Theresa.

Elizabeth: "Where is that?"

Wang: "A branch of the World Mountain Range, it's far away from here anyway. We will arrange a small welcome ceremony to greet the priest. Is there anything else we can do to help?"

Pietro: "No more."

Wang: "Then let me ask, how is the battle going?"

"The Lich has escaped. It is only a matter of time before the remaining undead army is wiped out." Knight Teresa replied.

Wang: "What are the casualties?"

"It's acceptable. The first batch of wounded soldiers will be sent back immediately." Knight Teresa continued to answer, "At that time, we will have to ask the women on the floating island to help take care of them."

Wang: "I thought the wounded soldiers would be treated by priests."

Teresa: "The priest's spellcasting ability should be reserved for dealing with death knights and corpse witches. Healing is also an offensive spell when facing the undead."

Rosalie: "That's why the wounded soldiers were not treated and were sent back to be bandaged."

"Those who are seriously injured will still be treated," Knight Teresa said. "Those who are sent back are all lightly wounded who can recover naturally."

Rosalie: "I understand. I'll arrange for help right away."
