Transcendent Noble

The central church of Black Castle Town is located at the intersection of the vassal district and the noble district. It is the tallest and most magnificent building in Black Castle Town. The main body of the church is made of solid limestone, and the walls are covered with a layer of white sand, which combines grandeur and exquisiteness in one body. The interior of the church is tall and wide, and the bell tower points directly to the sky, symbolizing the Lord of Radiance Supreme.

Compared with Father Ivan’s church, the magnificent central church is more sacred, solemn, and deserted. The central church serves High Level people, or it is a place where High Level people serve the Lord of Radiance. For example, the rich would donate money and materials to the church in the central church to prove their devotion to the Lord of Radiance, which is the opposite of the church in the slum area.

Fr. Conley wore a gorgeous priest's robe, and his face solemnly supervised the attendants in the church to set up today's meeting place. A sacred pre-divine notarization will be held here. The notarization parties are Enbis.Count York and Victor.Baron Wimbledon. This is of great significance to Father Conley. This is the first notarization between the lords since he presided over the central church, and it is also the first notarization between the lords.

"My lord, everything is ready." A waiter bowed to Conley.

Conley nodded majesticly. He looked around all around and asked the waiter: "Have Claude Paladin and his squad come back?"

"Not yet, we have already I sent someone to urge it."

Fr Conley's expression suddenly became unswerving after listening to the waiter's words.

Conley’s immediate boss, Bishop Pierot, told him that Centaur Hills may become a new parish in the future. In order to increase the church’s influence in Centaur Hills, the church will gradually send more priests here, and Claude It was Paladin Captain who had just been assigned to him.

When Claude Captain arrived in Black Castle Town with a reorganized Paladin squad, Father Conley was very happy, which would greatly enhance his power.

However, Conley soon became unhappy.

Claude, this young Paladin Captain, martial skill is proficient, passionate, kind, heroic, fair, and piety. He possesses the Paladin virtues promoted by the church, but he is stunned.

Not long after Claude came to Blacksburg, he plunged into the shanty town. He and his team members maintained order in the shanty town, hoeing the strong and supporting the weak, and arrested them in just a few days. Many thieves and robbers were sent to the police station in Black Castle Town. The sheriff of Black Castle Town was very annoyed by this and had negotiated with Conley several times.

Conley hurriedly summoned Claude and warned him that the church has no secular law enforcement powers. This is the content of the Bright New Testament. Claude said that they did not enforce the law, they were just stopping the crime and handing over the criminal to the police station. Claude also asked Conley to donate more food and clothing to the freedmen, and even encouraged Conley to spend money to renovate the freedmen’s shanty towns, so as to improve the living environment of the freedmen.

Only then did Conley understand that Claude simply had not experienced Paladin's two years of trials and was directly dispatched to his command. Conley was sad and sleepless because of this, and there was nothing more troublesome to the priests at the bottom than the rookie Paladin.

The result is obvious. The Mason Society has reduced donations to the central church, Caitou has reduced donations, and the hyena leader who is most enthusiastic about donations has no longer come. Merchants have also reduced donations because they More protection fees were charged. Only the lords in the noble district are unaffected, but they donate based on their mood.

At the worst time, the bearded Ivan has repeatedly warned Conley, asking him to look after Claude! Most recently, the number of civilians who went to Ivana to pray was much less!

What can Conley do? He has written to Bishop Pierot, tactfully asking Master Bishop to send a more experienced Paladin to assist him. The implication is to get Claude out. But Bishop Pierot hasn't replied yet, he has to endure for a while.

"The notarization ceremony will begin soon! Send someone to see if Claude is the bastard!" Father Conley instructed angrily.

As the presiding priest of the Central Church, Conley’s promotion criteria are completely different from that of Ivan. His credit lies in how much money he has raised for the church and whether he has expanded the influence of Major Sect. Notarization will be one of his achievements.

"Master Conley! Here we are!"

As soon as Conley turned around, he saw Claude walking towards here with Paladin. Wherever he went, the waiter next to him They covered their noses one after another. Conley was shocked and said repeatedly: "Stop! Don't come in!"

"Are you going to the shantytown again today? It smells like a whole suit! Go wash, change your armor, and the notarization will begin soon. That's it!" Conley said to Claude in disgust.

"My lord, I have important things to report! Today, Johnny was attacked in a shanty town!" Claude said solemnly.

"What? What about Johnny?" Conley had a cold light in his eyes. Assaulting Paladin is a felony. Generally speaking, only the wizard will actively attack the priest.

"My lord, I'm here!" Johnny raised his hand listlessly. He was frustrated by being crushed by his opponent during the battle.

Conley looked up and down Johnny, and found that he was not injured, sighed in relief, he asked: "What's the matter?"

"That's it." Johnny Recounted the process without omission and in detail to the priest.

Conley was silent for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "In other words, you were not attacked, but because you were nosy, you were taught a lesson!"

"My lord, there is a problem here. That guy easily defeated Johnny. At least he was also a trainee Knight. If the old farmer hadn't stopped him, he would kill Johnny! Now he has taken the farmer away again. , I think we should send someone to save the poor farmer, otherwise he might be killed!" Claude yelled a little excitedly. He had already made up a tragic story. Achievement forced the farmer, maybe there is still a beautiful girl waiting for Paladin to save, and Claude feels passionate when he thinks of this.

"The trainee Knight wanted to kill Johnny? Then why didn't he cut off Johnny's head without first sword? Finally, why did the farmer take the trainee Knight away again?" Conley said with a sneer.

"This..." Claude was speechless when asked by the priest.

"I warn you again that the order in the shantytowns is under the control of the law and order! Your job is to serve the church, to wipe out the wizard, and to fight against the monster. Don’t run into the shanty town without proper business all day long! Now, Go and clean yourself, put on the ceremony armor, and the notarization will be held soon."

Amidst Conley's roar, these young Paladins hurried to their dormitory.

"It's really unfathomable mystery! What's the trouble between the nobles?" Conley whispered to himself.

"Father Conley, Baron Wimbledon is here." The waiter reported to Conley.

Fr Conley smiled. Baron Wimbledon donated 2000 kinsoll to the central church two days ago, but wrote the amount of 1000 kinsoll in the register. Such generous behavior naturally made Father Conley was pleased.

So, Conley walked out of the cathedral and personally greeted Lord Baron.

Under the white steps, Father Conley saw the young and upright Lord Baron and his retinue, but Baron’s face was a little pale, thinking of the lovely maid who accompanied Baron two days ago, Conley was stunned. .

"Your Excellency Baron Victor, good day, may the glory of Lord of Radiance take care of you." Conley smiled and said to Victor.

"Father Conley, good day." Victor politely greeted the priest nodded.

"Your Excellency Victor, you are in good spirits today." Conley gave Victor an ambiguous smile.

Good spirits? Victor only felt that his eyes were dark, he was exhausted and dying for the past two days, and Sylvia's inexhaustible needs made him painful and happy.

"It's okay, okay." Victor smiled dryly.

Fr Conley smiled without saying a word. He raised the priest's scepter in his hand and pointed towards Victor. A white golden light shone on Victor. Victor felt his spirits shocked, and his exhaustion was swept away. And Kong, even his body is much lighter.

"Father, is this?" Victor asked in surprise.

"This is the divine technique, Recovery Technique bestowed by my lord, which can continuously restore a person's mental and physical strength." Conley said triumphantly.

"It's incredible!"

Victor squeezed his fist, and he felt the power in his body again.

"Father Conley, this Recovery Technique is really amazing. It allows soldiers to continue fighting without being affected by fatigue."

"This...theory. This is the case above, but Recovery Technique can only be used once a day, and the effect will be reduced if used continuously." Kangli said with a bitter smile.

"Oh, isn't it? But it's also great! Father Conley, can you still talk to me about the basic types of divine techniques? I am very interested in this, if you are embarrassed... ..." Victor probed.

"In fact, it’s not a secret. For thousands of years, the lords have fought monsters and orcs under the leadership of the church. Everyone is familiar with the power of our lord. I haven’t talked to you. Relationship." Kang Li humbly said with a smile.

"Our divine techniques mainly include Recovery Technique, Healing Technique, Cleaning Technique, Inspiration Technique."

"Recovery Technique, you already know. And healing technique can be continuous It can stop the bleeding and heal the wound. The smaller the wound, the faster the healing, and the larger the wound, the slower the healing. The healing can last five minutes at a time. High-ranking priests can even reattach the severed limb, but the cost is high. This divine technique has saved the lives of countless soldiers."

"Cleaning technique can cure most diseases. This is also the divine technique that our priests often use, but the cleansing technique requires a specific ceremony and consumes no value. Fei’s white crystal, so we generally need to charge a certain fee."

"Inspiration can inspire the courage of soldiers, make them fearless, and can greatly reduce the feeling of pain, so that soldiers will not You will be unconscious due to pain. Just like Recovery Technique, invigoration is the best effect once a day."

"The power and kindness of Lord of Radiance is really impressive." Victor threw a word in a timely manner. flattery.

"The glory of my lord will last forever." Conley said resolutely.

"By the way, in the last purification ceremony, I saw Master Bishop condense the white golden holy flame, is that also a divine technique?" Victor took the opportunity to ask.

"That is Holy Fire. Only high-level priests can perform Holy Fire. I don't know it very well." Conley said in embarrassment, but his flashing eyes could not escape Victor's perception. Obviously The priest is not willing to talk about deeper things.

"so that's how it is." Victor nodded said with a smile.

The two walked and talked, so they walked into the central cathedral.

The prayer hall of the church is wide and high, giving people a feeling of insignificance, plus the four huge statues of angels holding swords, it is even more awe-inspiring. The dome of the prayer hall is made of special crystals. The sunlight in the daytime shines through the dome, so that everything in the hall is plated with golden, showing a sacred taste.

Victor did not feel shocked. This is not the first time he has walked into the central church. In his memory, there is a larger and more solemn and glorious church. But it cannot be denied that the central church of Black Castle Town made Victor feel the foundation and strength of the church. After all, it has only been developed for three years.

"Father Conley, Lord Count York has arrived." A waiter reported to Conley.

"Your Excellency Victor, I will greet Master Count. Please wait here for a while, and the notarization will begin after a while."

Fr. Conley left the prayer hall after speaking. Go out to meet the owner of Black Castle Town.

Victor pressed the long table in the center of the hall, and he will hold a notarization in front of Count York with Count York.

Pre-God notarization is a product of the church to mediate disputes between lords. It is a method proposed by the church 1500 years ago.

During the period when the church is strong, the friction between the lords will be strongly interfered by the church. But with the emergence of vassalism, the power of lords became stronger and stronger, and the influence of the church became weaker and weaker, disputes between lords began to be resolved by themselves, often through small-scale wars and marriages. When the Knight class began to take power in the church, in order to expand the influence and law enforcement power of the Major Sect, they proposed a notarization before the gods, but unfortunately the lords did not buy it, and the answer was very small.

But Victor had no choice. He was not qualified to marry him, and he was unwilling to do it as a vassal. In order to ensure that the agreement could be implemented, the York family proposed a notarization before the gods. The core of the notarization is: Victor cannot quietly sell purple cane wine to other lords, otherwise the York family can conquer Victor, and the church will not interfere. In addition, the notarization before the gods has another characteristic, which is higher than the right of inheritance, which means that Victor's successor cannot overturn the agreement between the Victor and York family.

For this, Victor certainly doesn't care, his heir is not Marquis Sophia, or his cheap brother.

Strictly speaking, the notarization between the York family and Victor harmed the interests of all lords and was a betrayal of the lords class. However, their notarized content is very special, because this is an unprecedented supply and marketing agreement.

"When Father Conley reads 18 copper cords per liter of purple cane wine, the expression on his face will be wonderful." Victor couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.

While Victor was entertaining himself, Count York walked in with Father Conley accompanied by Father Conley.

"Victor! This time the notarized donation fund is yours!"

Victor: "...I won't make it."

——————————

While Victor and Count York were arguing about donating money, in the Black Castle Town police station, the monkey was reporting to his owner.

"My lord, Baron's men brought a kind of dog I haven't seen before and found Barol's body."

"What's weird about this, they want to know about Baron's body. Did Rohr die or was hidden by us. The Victor family’s response was too slow! The Velpin family came to Barrol a few days ago.” Sheriff Shakes said with a disapprovingly smile.

"My lord, what are they looking for Barol for?" the monkey asked anxiously.

The monkey and Old John saw Barol’s body. Although it was a bit decomposed, the monkey confirmed that it was Barol himself from a few moles on the corpse. However, the monkey always felt a little weird, but he couldn't tell.

"What else can I do? Get out of my breath." Shacks said lightly, with lightly disdain.
