Chapter 159 Bad News

The jubilant crowd postponed the scheduled end time of the painting club meeting for more than half an hour.

When everything settled, the two guards closed the door of the meeting hall from the outside, and the empty hall fell into silence again.

In the hall, Oswal and Boyce stayed because they had been instructed by Mary earlier.

In this way, the three priests of the Ceremony in Black started a new round of small meetings.

"So, Lord Mali, can you tell us more about the process by which Lord Ige surrendered the Church of the Earth Father and the Psalm Tune?"

Boyce was the first to ask eagerly.

Like Osval, Boyce immediately guessed who played a key role in this matter.

In other words, this is simply obvious.

After Igor left "Talek", the city entered a state of complete contraction——

It's not possible to shrink even if you don't want to. The strongest person in the city currently is the 15th-level priest Boyce who has received the "blessing" of the Book of Two Moons.

Although with the help of divine magic, Boyce's actual combat ability can be improved a lot, it is obviously still unable to reach the threshold of Huayin level.

As for the other two priests, although they have received "blessings" one after another, because their talents are relatively weak and they are not in charge of the guards like Boyce, they have more opportunities to polish their bodies. Therefore, Osval has just recently After reaching level 13, Ma Li is only at level 11.

In comparison, Quinton, the messenger's personal guard who did not go with Lambert to "Belstad" with Iger, was even higher, at level 14.

Of course, level is not completely equivalent to strength, let alone status in the Black Ceremony.

Mary and Osval spent a lot of time and energy on administrative work, which meant that they had very limited time for meditation and physical exercise.

If things go on like this, there will of course be a gap in strength with other believers who have more time or whose job nature is more friendly to strength improvement.

However, certain important administrative positions must be filled by clergy within the church.

Therefore, when it comes to the specific level, it is actually equivalent to sacrificing the individual strength of several priests in exchange for the stable development of "Talek".

From the current point of view, this choice cannot be said to be good or bad. After all, the population of "Talek" has not yet fully reached the standard of a "big city", and the pressure on management only comes from the priests of the Rite of Black. Childish.

When the number of people increases further, perhaps this "part-for-whole" strategy can truly show its advantages.

Of course, in the final analysis, it is Yig and the gods who bless Yig who decide everything about "Talek".

Under the constant gaze of the gods, even the powerful personal guards will never behave disrespectfully or subtly towards the priests.

This is the stability brought by God’s blessing!

However, stability comes back to stability, considering that Lambert, whose strength is second only to Iger, and three other bodyguards who are equally strong, also followed Iger to "Belstad" to attend the meeting.

The current Black Clothes Ceremony will no longer be able to expand its influence outwards.

Even the planned early removal of wild leopards that would pose a hidden danger to the farmland near Lake McCaton was adjusted accordingly.

The original plan of sending personal security teams into the mountains for searches was changed to strengthening patrols in planned farmland areas.

In this case, "Fue" and "Dok" chose to submit to "Talek". No matter how you think about it, the reason cannot be on the side of "Talek".

"According to Pastor Donahue's news, it should be that after the great God of Ceremony descended, the God of Poetry and the God of Fertile Soil chose to surrender."

After Mary finished speaking, Osval and Boyce looked like they suddenly understood.

That makes sense.

The great god of etiquette must have used his own way of etiquette to convince the other two gods, so the latter two churches surrendered.

Oswell and Boyce both felt pity at this time.

If only I had been there at that time.

It must have been a formal and enjoyable event.

Ma Li did not fall into reverie with the two of them. On the contrary, she lightly knocked on the table with a serious expression:

"In addition to this matter, Pastor Donahue also conveyed an important message to me." "Another important message?"

Osval and Boyce looked at each other, each seeing confusion in the other's eyes.

Ma Li was in no mood to beat around the bush and said straightforwardly:

"According to the latest information from the Evergreen Heart from people in the Balance Church."

"There is a group of Pustonian sand people of unknown origin swimming in the waters of the north-central part of the North."

"what!"

Osval frowned.

Ige left "Talek" last month with four powerful personal guards.

Since then, Oswal, the officer in charge of city guard, has always maintained the highest vigilance on city security issues.

It was also his decision to adjust the plan to clean up the wild leopards.

Now that he suddenly heard about the threat from the Sand People, he reacted very violently.

Oswal was not too shocked when he heard the news conveyed by Mary, but was a little surprised to see Boyce's keen reaction to the news.

He thought that according to Boyce's standards, he would not know what the "Pstonian sand people" were.

Now it seems that he underestimated the guard captain.

Boyce didn't know Oswal's thoughts, and he wasn't as calm as him:
"How many people are there?"

"Where exactly are you currently?"

"How strong is the leader?"

A series of questions emerged from Boyce's mouth, but Ma Li could only shake her head silently.

Boyce couldn't help but ask again:
"Lord Mali, besides this, is there any other information about the sand people?"

Ma Li sighed slightly:

"Lord Boyce, I'm afraid that's all I just said."

"This is the only news from the Tianping Church."

"This round of letters haven't been sent out yet, have they?"

Osval suddenly interrupted at this time.

Igor's departure to "Belstad" does not mean that he has completely lost contact with "Talek".

Every week "Talek" sends a messenger to the south.

The message delivery operation has been carried out for five rounds, and now it is the sixth round.

However, there is a delay of about a month in such communications.

The Tarek received a reply to the first letter only last week.

When Mary heard Osval's question, she shook her head again:
"It hasn't been sent out yet."

Oswald glanced at the two colleagues beside him:

"I think what we have to do right now is two things."

"First, convey the news to Lord Ige quickly."

"Second, strengthen our vigilance in an all-round way!"
