They all call me master.

Chapter 806: Insect Rise Ⅳ

Tolan sat cross-legged on a wool felt mat.

On the left hand side is a long sword with a scabbard.

On the right is a musket.

The new high priest was still recalling how the Devourer Imora was cut in half by the Nanlos medium.

Before, the high priest had always been skeptical about the fact that the Nanlos medium was his Majesty's "friend".

But from that time on, the high priest no longer had any doubts.

After all, it was only too normal for a medium who could 'slay gods' to have a 'friend' like His Majesty.

Therefore, he firmly believed the message that Grindelwald asked him to wait here.

The entire 'Inland River Church' did not disperse and withdraw like the river pirates of the 'Red Knights'.

But they are all waiting here.

First, they can't break down the whole into smaller pieces like the Red Knight did.

Second, this time the brothers in Port Pulte were truly exposed. Even if they were loyal to His Majesty, they would surely die if they went back like this.

third……

It is also the most important point!
Your Majesty is in the river not far away!

So, after receiving the message from Grindelwald to wait, Toland waited here without any hesitation.

The high priest had no doubts because of his devout heart.

As for the long sword and musket placed beside him?

That's just in case.

Bloodshed and sacrifice can occur at any time.

This was especially true when facing the Marquis Einhas, who was rumored to be extremely old-fashioned.

but--

'For Your Majesty, I am willing to give everything!'

As Tolan was thinking in his heart, there was a sudden noise behind him.

Subconsciously, our high priest grabbed the musket and aimed behind him.

Arthur, who appeared in Grindelwald's vest, looked helpless. He picked up the cane that had just been stuck on the ground and asked softly, "Can't put the cane here?"

“Of course.

I overreacted.

My apologies, Mr Grindelwald."

Toland remained serious in the face of Grindelwald's teasing.

Arthur had no objection to this.

After all, wasn't it because of his seriousness that he chose him to be the high priest of the 'Inland River Church'?

Different from his other men.

The particularity of the 'Inland River Church' means that the leader of this organization cannot be too 'smart, active', or even have too many talents.

obedient……

Do not!
It is piety that is most important.

“I should be the one to say sorry.

According to the rules, I should have informed you.

However, this matter is too secretive and must be kept confidential.”

Arthur said in a low voice.

After hearing these words, Tolan's eyes narrowed, and fanaticism and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

“When do we start?
How many people are needed?
We have brought artillery, if it is not enough to deal with Marquis Einhas, please tie the explosives to my body, I will die with the other party with the glory of His Majesty!"

As he spoke, the high priest began to take off his clothes.

Then, he took out a box of explosives from under the bed and started tying them around his body.

Arthur's eyelids twitched as he watched this scene.

In the end, he underestimated the power of faith.

But as a psychic, he really likes people who support him with this kind of power, so -

Bang, bang!
Grindelwald clapped softly.

"Tolan, you have lived up to the expectations of the Lord and His Majesty. However, Marquis Einhas is our ally for now. We do not need to point our swords at our allies."

"what?"

Tolan was stunned.

"Brothers and sisters from Port Pulte can return home safely and can also admit to the outside world that they are members of the 'Inland River Religion' in the future.

Lord Einhard has allowed us to have our own little church in Port Pulte. It is only a small one, though.”

This was one of the contents of the previous agreement between the two parties.

Marquis Einhas was very surprised by this.

The Marquis did not understand how Arthur could be associated with an organization like the 'Inland River Church', but unlike traditional nobles, although Marquis Einhas was disgusted with church-like organizations, he did not hate church-like organizations.

Therefore, in response to Arthur's words of "returning a favor", the Marquis nodded very carefully.

It’s not easy to repay a debt of favor.

The Marquis has a deep understanding of this.

And looking at Arthur's appearance, this feeling is even deeper.

After all, Arthur was risking his life against the 'blood drinker' Hyperion.

Tolan didn't know about these things.

When the battle broke out between the nobles of Einhas Territory and the 'Blood Drinker' Heber, they had already begun to evacuate.

However, this does not mean that Tolan does not understand the significance of it.

A base that can be displayed in the open is extremely important for any church organization.

It can even be called the root!

"Very good!

That's great! "

Tolan was so excited that he danced with joy.

But the next moment, the high priest froze in place.

because--

“In view of this achievement.

Your Majesty has bestowed divine grace upon you.

About a hundred people can choose to learn some divine arts."

The upper limit of the blood-sucking ancestor Abel is 500 people, but since it is the first operation, Arthur will not use the maximum number of people. He needs to be more careful to deal with possible accidents.

After all, the members of the 'Inland River Church' are truly valuable materials.

Arthur would feel sad if he lost any one of them.

"This... this is really great!"

Tolan stammered.

Later, the high priest's eyes began to turn red.

For the high priest, divine arts were certainly something he had heard of before.

Divine arts are the foundation of the Holy See.

It is also the foundation for the establishment of the shrine era.

In fact, if it weren't for the decline of divine magic, the Church would not have fallen even if the shadow had been horrifying several times.

With the end of the sacred age, divine magic has long become something of a legend.

But now!
They can actually bathe in God's grace and master divine arts!
The excitement in his heart made the high priest kneel on one knee and pray loudly towards the direction of the inland river.

“The god has a shape, like a snake, very long and thick.

Breath of God, extremely poisonous.

God commands, and the snakes obey!

You are the king of all snakes.

You are the lord of the inland river.

Your roar is like a surging wave.

Your gaze is the place where the inland river flows..."

When the prayer ended, Tolland's face became more resolute and his eyes brighter, and he looked at Grindelwald.

"Sir, please tell me the candidate."

Tolan asked loudly.

Arthur was extremely satisfied as he watched Tolan transformed in an instant.

At the same time, Arthur lamented the horror of faith.

Immediately, Arthur began to warn himself in his heart to be careful.

Then, the Nanlos psychic whispered:

"As for the selection... let's do this!"
