Transcendent Noble

Alexandria and Ashlibor Island face each other in the distance.

More than 680 years ago, the founder of the Borui Kingdom, the explorer Ashlibor Baron, broke through the Murloc from here, and boarded the opposite big island, which also opened the Five Great. The war between the Families and the murlocs in the riverbank.

When the blood of murlocs and humans dyed this river beach red, Five Great Families finally built Alexandria. To commemorate the warriors who died in the founding war, Alexandria is also known as the Red Harbor.

Today, Honggang has become the most prosperous port city in the south, with a permanent population of no less than 300,000. Among them, the overwhelming majority are undocumented migrant workers and they are also more devout believers.

Priest pastoring so many believers is not an easy task. The church has 27 large and small churches and 3 monasteries in Honggang. Teach Hall Master to hold academic affairs and redeem believers, and the monastery is responsible for training church servants and apprentice pastors to make up for the shortage of priests.

The Monastery of St. Gallen is located near a valley 15 kilometers west of Red Harbor. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, monks in the monastery guide hundreds of church attendants, read classics, study doctrines, learn farming and medical knowledge, take care of seriously ill believers, and take care of thousands of acres of grassy Medicine Garden, which is Honggang Church. Make various types of potions.

At dawn in the season of the earth, the air is fresh and pleasant, and the gurgling stream winds out from within the valley and flows slowly along the criss-crossed ditches. The sweet stream continuously nourishes the surrounding medicine field. Jumping grass, lovage, orchid celery, chicory and mint spew out light green buds. In the center of the medicine field, a fence-like laurel bush covers the white walls of the monastery but cannot block the tall bell tower. In the light of the morning sun, the St. Gallen Monastery looks serene and holy.

The distant bell rang six times, marking the end of morning prayer. The young church attendants left the monastery one after another. They carried their baskets and hoes, walked to the fields, and started a day of hard work.

Two Paladins wearing rhino leather armor walked to a hut, knocked on the door, and said, "Master Sophia, the Pope and the referee are waiting for you."

The wooden door was pushed aside from the inside, and an absolute beauty walked out. She smiled and said: "Two Masters, please lead the way."

Originally from Ogar Island It takes only 10 days to reach the Red Harbor by boat, but Harald hates boats and hates water even more. He insists on crossing every island along the way, and it is the evening after 17 days that Sophia returns to the valley where Barbarian is stationed.

Sophia was not in a hurry to meet the Pope. She needed a little time to think about countermeasures. However, Barbarian heard about the changes on Ogar Island and happily packed up things and prepared to return to Mount Arreit. In fact, these Barbarians are unwilling to leave Holy Mountain, let alone cross the river south, but now they are undoubtedly Sophia's biggest trump card. Once Barbarian returns to Mount Arreit, all of Sophia's efforts will be wiped out, and her situation will become very sinister. Fortunately, Harald didn't think Sophia's mission had failed. He knocked three screaming Urusas to the ground, and Barbarian stopped.

Sophia called the backbone of Saber-Toothed Tiger Business Group to discuss it in the middle of the night, but there was still no half-nodded thread. She had to rush to the Monastery of St. Gallen overnight to see the pope and the referee.

Passing through the cross corridor, Sophia came to the monastery hall. The two Paladins who led the way pushed open the gate and signaled Sophia to enter.

Three men with different temperaments were sitting in the hall. The one in the middle was wearing a white robe and looked about 40 years old. He had a full forehead, handsome features, and a pair of clear eyes. The eyes are shining with the clearly understood wisdom and vicissitudes of the human heart. To Sophia's surprise, she actually noticed Knight's unique elemental balance in this man.

"I'm Pastor Clement." The man seemed to see through Sophia's doubts. He said gently, "I am also a Knight, who was promoted by energy potion." He said with a smile. : "Because of the Lord’s grace, my life is delayed, so I look young."

The life experience of the contemporary pope has always been circulating in the great aristocracy, although Clement was adopted by the church’s poverty house. Abandoned infant, but everyone believes that there is noble bloodline on him, and life delay is a divine technique shared by all sixth rank priests.

Sophia no longer hesitated. Just about to give a salute, the man sitting on the Pope’s left hand suddenly said, "Marquis Wimbledon, don’t be polite. Knight is in the favor of my lord, and my lord will show him the way. Sophia , Are you willing to follow the teachings of my lord?"

This man is more than 30 years old, with thin lips, nose like an eagle's beak, and the majestic light armor can’t hide his sharpness. The temperament of the knife. He sits there and it feels as heavy as a mountain, as if he is the center of the hall. This is an affinity representation of earth elements unique to Golden Knight of the earth.

Sophia immediately knew the identity of the man.

Lesta.Trigoval, Golden Knight, Level 4 Paladin, the contemporary head of the Trigoval family, the deputy head of the Radiance Knight regiment, and the chief officer of the Inquisition.

The Trigoval family has been in charge of the Inquisition for more than two thousand years. Their reputation is forged by the blood of wizards and innocents. There are also many nobles who have been suppressed and arrested by the inquisition.

Regardless of power or strength, Lesta Trigoval can be regarded as the figure of the contemporary cream of the crop, but his overbearing tone makes Sophia very dissatisfied, but before she can speak, the pope right hand The bald robust man reprimanded first: "Master Trigoval, the Pope is in front of you, don't be rude!" The low voice was like a bell ringing, and the eardrum hummed, and also shattered the solemn atmosphere created by the referee's painstaking efforts.

Trigoval's long and narrow eyes flashed with helplessness, and his jaw slightly: "Under the crown. I'm rude."

"Lesta, don't be offended. Tornance is dull and has a straight temper. , You know." The pope said apologizing with a smile, then turned his head and glared at the bald man. And this bald Paladin, wearing a leather armor of the Earth Dragon, shrugged his face innocently.

Tornance has dark skin, no hair or eyebrows. He is the warrior leader of the Cardinal Church, the most prestigious and violent warrior in the contemporary era, and the sixth rank Paladin who can be counted on one's fingers. Sylvia and Tornance once had a public meeting, and the two sides did not try their best to decide the outcome. Afterwards, Tornance admitted that he was not Sylvia's opponent, but Sylvia claimed that Tornance's strength surpassed Legendary Paladin and was the church's first Paladin.

Because the divine technique is difficult to last, Legendary Paladin's measurement standard is difficult to determine. However, Spiritual God Knight disregarded the crowd, and Sylvia's personal praise confirmed the identity of Tornance Legendary Paladin. As for how many challenges Tornance has accepted within the church, outsiders don't know, but judging from Trigoval's performance, his strength is undoubtedly recognized by the Radiance Knight group.

Paladin's helplessness, the Pope's indifferent, Paladin's innocence was all seen by Sophia, and the small discord between the three great characters made her weird and relaxed.

"Sophia...I am 72 years old, can I call you by your name?" Clement took the initiative back and looked very good.

Sophia raised the skirt and politely said: "This is my honour, my crown."

Clement nodded with satisfaction and asked: "Harald Elder did not Come with you?"

"Elder he...he is not interested." Sophia hesitated, and said, "Barbarian wants to go back to Arrett. Harald Elder is...convincing them "

"Persuasion? That must be wonderful." The Pope laughed and said solemnly: "Sophia, do you understand the purpose of Barbarian crossing the river? This question is very important, I hope you don't hide something. "

"I don't know, Barbarian kept silent about the destination, and I won't test them. But... as far as I know, this involves a Barbarian prediction." Sophia thought. Next, he said: "Under the crown, my detailed experience on Mount Arrett has been reported to Lord Frides. It was with his approval and help that I led Barbarian to the south."

Level 6 The position of Priest Flides in the Cardinal House is second only to Clement. He is a core member of the Radiance Knight group, and leads the priests of the Sasan Empire and the Prairie.

The chief referee Trigoval slightly shook his head. Clement turned his gaze back to Sophia's body, and then said after a moment of indulgence: "7569 years ago, with the assistance of Knight, the first pope led the church's martyrs to completely overthrow the wizard's Tyranny. However, after the war, production was stagnant, and people’s food became a problem. Most of the church’s senior leaders at the time were farmers, merchants, and small citizens. They didn’t know how to run the city or manage the people. The people’s life was difficult and the society was turbulent. So Enoch Your Majesty formulated the glorious scriptures to establish the principles of Knight protection, church salvation, and public dedication."

"It has to be said that Knight’s wisdom and strength are far beyond mortals. They let everyone The city-state restored its former prosperity. As society progressed, the church also developed. A new generation of priests tried to play a greater role, which also led to the contradiction between the aristocracy and the church. Then, struggling on whilst at death's door in the polar regions. The orcs are back..."

Clement sighed, continued: "Although I don’t want to admit it, history is history. That was the darkest age of the church and the nobility. Facing the advancing of foreign races, the proud Knight is the same The arrogant priest failed to unite. The northern city-states fell one after another, and the orcs' power grew. When everyone reacted, everything was too late."

"The war never stopped. With the demise of the Iron Mountain Empire, we basically lost the entire north. Fortunately, in the process of resisting the orcs, the priest and Knight united together, and their relationship became closer. If we could realize it earlier To the meaning of unity, it will not fall to the present situation."

Clement was silent for a while, and said: "I told you this, I hope you don’t blame Archiveshop Oleg for its partiality to Five Great Families. He lives in the Borui Kingdom and loves this land more than anyone else, but he has never violated the mission of the church."

"I understand." Sophia lowered her eyes and said softly.

Understanding does not mean understanding, especially under the premise of being conspired.

A faint disappointment flashed in Clement’s eyes, and then he raised his voice again: “The Kingdom of Borui has its own position. I now ask you, if I personally accompany Barbarian to cross the river, do you agree with me? Five Great Families split the trade share of Mount Arreit?"

Sophia was shocked by the goodwill of the Pope, and at the same time he felt heavy pressure.

Clement’s authority, second only to the head of the Radiance Knight regiment, rejects his kindness is tantamount to offending the entire church. However, the death of the Marquis of Ephesus is a bloody example. What about sending Barbarian away? How about evenly dividing the trade share? Without giving up Chamber of Commerce, can the royal family of Gambis let me go? Abandoning Chamber of Commerce, what is the meaning of my persistence, hard work and sacrifice? Do not! I will never compromise! I stepped on thorns, even if there is a ten thousand zhang in front of the abyss, I will never retreat! I’m Sophia.

Thinking of this, Sophia no longer hesitates, she curtsy and said: "I refuse."

Sure enough! Clement stayed quiet, and lightly asked "Why?"

"Under the crown, Barbarian didn't want to leave Mount Arret..."

"Excuse me!" Trigoval was not polite He pointed out: "Sophia, all Golden Knights have to be clear about their own path, and you choose a dead end! When you consider the Augustus family, have you ever thought about the attitude of Sasan Empire? The Lord of Sasan will not allow the powerful Barbarian Make an alliance with the Southern Kingdom! This is not a game you can participate in, you will only be crushed if you get involved."

"What are you talking about?" The first Paladin stared, curiously asked.

Trigoval ignored Tornance and continued to say to Sophia: "Sophia, joining Borui Kingdom is the best choice. You still have time to look back. I am sure that with your innate talent and character you will be able to one day Board the Peak. Before that, you must find the right path."

"What are you...what are you talking about?!" The first Paladin's eyes stared like brass bells, gnashing teeth asked. .

Clement held Tornance's hand, motioned him to don't be impatient, and asked: "Sophia, is there a time limit for Barbarian's task of crossing the river?"

"Twenty years. "Sophia said with a faint smile: "Harald Elder told me that in twenty years, if I can't send them to the South Bank, they will return to Yaruit."

"Twenty years... Okay, I get it." Clement nodded and said: "I promise Barbarian can cross the river from the Seven Islands at any time. Apart from this, I have another suggestion."

Sophia looked at Clement deeply. At a glance, the head of the jaw said: "Under the crown, please show me the way."

"Take Barbarian to Centaur Hills!" The pope said with a smile: "You probably don't know yet, your husband. Viscount Randal built a control gate on the bank of the Jinshui River. It is only 17 kilometers away from the south bank of the Jinshui River. With the help of the control gate, you can build a port and send Barbarian to the south bank."

"True Sophia beautiful eyes shined, and said in surprise: "Xiamen, thank you for your guidance. Your kindness, I will remember it in my heart." Sophia one-knee kneels, solemnly said: "I am here to tell you I promise that I will follow the principle of Chamber of Commerce's neutrality and will never participate in the struggle of the kingdom, let alone use the power of Barbarian to disrupt the balance of all parties! Please witness my promise by the Lord of Radiance of Supreme. If there is a violation, I am willing to accept the court’s Sanctions!"

Trigoval's expression was slightly calm, and Clement also said with satisfaction: "Then you can go back and make preparations. I will participate in the York family competition held in February of the Fire Season. Sixth. It’s not easy to travel 9,000 kilometers in a month’s time, so I will leave this afternoon."

"Yes. I will go back and prepare. I will leave first, sirs." Sophia bowed and hurriedly Leaving the hall of the monastery.

"What a pretty girl. I like it." Tornance grinned said with a smile.

Trigoval frowned, said: "Under the crown. It is not appropriate to place a Legendary Barbarian and three Golden-ranked Barbarian Berserkers in Centaur Hills. Gambis Kingdom and Sylvia, I am afraid that His Royal Highnesses will not agree."

"Don't worry. Tornance plus I can beat Barbarian Elder."

The first Paladin straightened his chest and said, "Yes. I'm pretty sure we can beat him! "

"Defeat Legendary Barbarian? Well...Tornance, I believe in your strength. But how much do you know about Legendary Barbarian?"

Trigoval reluctantly shook his head: "At the beginning, Legendary Paladin and the cardinal bishop also have the ability to defeat Vulcan the Citybreaker. But the result? Legendary ogre can't beat the heyday Paladin, can't it still run away? When the divine technique is over, it knocks two Legendary Paladins alive! Fighting is not a contest. Only like sword saint Drawin, can it be defeated if it can’t escape!"

"Martial power is just a necessary preparation. Barbarian is different from ogre. They keep their promises and can compete with humans. Living in peace, Harald Elder suppressed the power of fury, as evidenced by not killing Duke Peter." Clement said.

"Barbarian never left Mount Arreit! Didn't they also leave? Tradition has been broken, and promises are also on the verge of collapse." Trigoval paused, said: "No matter how strong the individual is, it will eventually end. Limited, Vulcan's rule of the northern beast talents is unmatched. And Barbarian is not without clan power, a Barbarian Elder is a Legendary Berserker, how many Legendary Barbarians are there on Mount Arrit? Sophia does stand in front of our lord. Oath, you don’t know the methods of those great nobles... If they succeed in wooing or angering Barbarian, Sasan Empire will bear the brunt. Our main force is fighting the Centaur. Although we have gained a certain advantage, we can’t afford the upper part of the mountain. Impact. Once the Sasan Empire collapses, the consequences will be disastrous! Your arrangements will also..."

"Master referee, don't forget your identity! You are the chief referee of the church and not the lord of Sasan Empire!"

The Pope gave Trigoval a cold look, stood up and said: "Barbarian is stronger than you think. In the era of wizard blood sacrifice, the elves escaped into the endless forest, and the northern Barbarian Race was extinct. , The orcs fled to the Land of Extreme North, and Barbarian still lives in Mount Arreit. I checked the information. The city wizard once attacked Barbarian’s idea, and the entire army was wiped out."

"10 Many years ago, several millions of forest tribes moved westward. Now, Barbarian, who has never left his homeland, has also moved south. What does this mean?"

Trigoval stood up abruptly and asked in shock: "What does this mean?"

"This is also something I want to figure out." Clement shook the head with a heavy expression, "This group of Barbarians does not have an old man except Harald Elder. They Among them are either children or young adults, and the ratio of men to women is half. Barbarian may be crossing the river south to perform a certain task, but this task must not be mortal, and the time span is long, long enough that they can thrive in Southern Continent. Sophia just said. Now, the mission period is twenty years. Twenty years later, how will the strength of these Barbarians grow? If crossing the river fails, Harald will bring a stronger Barbarian wa rrior returns to Yaruite, this is support! "

"What kind of thing is it for the powerful and fearless Barbarian to prepare for the worst?" ! "Clement said bitterly: "The forest people know it, Barbarian knows it, but we humans don't know it!" "

The unspeakable fear made Legendary Paladin shiver, he hesitated and said: "This...under the crown, you can..."

"hmph! I still Want to live for two more years! You can also return the golden horn to Pope Your Majesty. "

The chief referee slumped back on his seat and said, "Under the crown, you are right. Must figure out Barbarian's intentions, and what will happen to Mount Arret? "

"Don't worry too much. Clement said with a smile confidently: "Barbarian goes south, we can go south too. Opposite the seven islands is the powerful Kingdom of Barbarian Race, and the control gate of Centaur Hills is an excellent breakthrough point. Sylvia will definitely accept Barbarian because Sophia will build a port for her. "

"I see. Trigoval stood up again and saluted: "Under the crown, please allow me to retire first." "

"Trigoval, unprovoked speculation will only lead to fear and confusion. I don't want anyone outside the church to know what we are talking about. Barbarian stayed in Centaur Hills because of the dispute between Sophia and Borui Kingdom. "

"As you wish, under the crown of the Pope. Trigoval paused, glanced at the side door inside, and then left the hall.

Tornance touched his bare chin and curiously asked, "Why did the Old Guy run?" "

"He ran to win Marquis Sophia. "The Archbishop of the Borui Kingdom walked out from the side door of the hall, and the pope glanced at him, instructed: "Oleg, you can't tell anyone about this, either. "

"Yes, under the crown of my pope. "Borui Archbishop said with a smile hehe.

Clement shook his head and sighed: "You guys... each have their own careful thinking, no one stands in the overall situation to consider the problem! "

"So, you are the pope, and I am red-clothed Archbishop. "Oleg said frankly.

"Big nose...what are you talking about? ! "

A voice suddenly came from behind, Archbishop Oleg was taken aback, and suddenly turned around and saw Tornance's curiously big face plate.
