Volume 23 Journey to Polovy: Chapter 23 Chapter [-] Ike City

After driving for nearly a whole night, as the sky gradually began to brighten, the shadow of the town finally appeared in front of the carriage.

A breath of the sea lingered on the tip of Neil's nose, causing him to subconsciously poke his head out of the carriage and look at the city surrounded by the city walls and next to the endless sea from a distance.

"After going down this hillside, we will arrive at Yike City!"

Harrington's voice was also a little excited, and he controlled the carriage to run down the slightly sloping road.

The expressions of relaxation and joy finally appeared on the faces of everyone in the car, and even the most preoccupied Snow showed a smile, but it quickly turned bitter again.

Since escaping, he has become a lot more taciturn, and the image of a kind big brother in the past has disappeared.

Losing the two companions who grew up together and came out to make a living, must be a very serious blow to him.

Snapped--

A strong hand slapped his back heavily, causing him to stagger suddenly.

"Haha, we finally arrived in Yike City, how about it? Let's go to the tavern for a drink after the mission is over?"

Motley stood behind him, showing a generous smile.

"I know one family's seafood tastes very good, don't you plan to try it?"

After he finished speaking, he smiled at Snow again, and patted his shoulder lightly twice.

"I'll forget it! There's still a lot of goods to sell! If you spend a day at the tavern, I might be able to make it there."

Harrington immediately responded loudly from the front, making Motley laugh and yell.

"That depends on how much you pay the boss. If you pay enough, I won't feel sorry for eating there for a week."

Infected by their appearance, relaxed smiles appeared on the faces of everyone who was a little sluggish.

"I've got to get a good night's sleep, and then go out and have a big dinner later in the evening."

Harvey shrugged, then said.

"Forget it, I have other tasks to do."

Jason shook his head with a cold face. For a fighting madman like him, maybe he is happier because he has been busy with the mission.

"I also want to continue to trade, after all, I just accepted another commission from a troublesome customer."

Gu Xiangchun shook his head and sighed, and glanced at Neil intentionally or unintentionally.

But should I say that she is worthy of being a traveling merchant, she seamlessly joined the team in just one night, as if she had really followed the caravan all along.

"Miss Gu Xiang also plans to go to Yike City to sell goods? Then do you want to go to the market with us?"

One of the businessmen sitting in the back seat heard Kogo Jun say this and extended an invitation to her.

"I can't. After all, I already have a reservation, so I have to say goodbye to everyone when I arrive in the city."

She shook her head politely, declined the merchants' invitations, and said.

The businessman who saw that she was not willing to go with her sighed with regret and said with emotion.

"That's right, then I won't force it. But Miss Guxiang has come out to do business at such a young age, it really makes us old bones feel ashamed."

"Yeah, when we were as young as you, we were still young people who didn't know anything."

The businessman next to her also nodded in agreement, causing Neil, who knew her real situation, to roll his eyes.

She is a monster who has been in business for many years, and she may be about ten years older than you.

While everyone was chatting, Motley also squatted down slightly, and asked beside Snow.

"Don't be too discouraged. After all, the mercenary industry will always encounter these things. And if you think about it, they are not really dead. It's just that there will be fewer opportunities to meet in the future."

"Um......"

Snow nodded lightly, looking at the saber on his waist with some regret.

"It's just... I have to face them as enemies in the future, and my mood is more complicated. Moreover, they should no longer be the companions I am familiar with."

Motley didn't respond, just patted him on the shoulder again.

"I'm just going to seek refuge with a few old buddies who used to work together, do you want to go with me?"

"Uncle Motley, I..."

A trace of surprise flashed in Snow's eyes, but soon, a hesitant expression appeared on his face again.

"Don't make a decision in such a hurry. It's still early anyway. Just rest in the city and slowly determine your future. I will stay in the Leicester tavern for a few days. When will I decide? , just come to me anytime."

Motley's words made Snow look at him gratefully and bowed slightly.

"Thank you, I will think about it."

"Don't be so cautious, this kind of thing is not popular among mercenaries."

Motley laughed loudly and patted him on the back, and seeing that the gloom on Snow's face dissipated, everyone quietly looked at each other, with knowing smiles on their faces.

"Come down when we're done chatting, the guards at the city gate are ready to check."

Harrington's shout made them stop chatting at the back of the carriage. After the guards standing guard at the city gate carefully checked each of them, the carriage slowly entered the city by the sea.

————————————————————————————————————————————

Even though it was only a short period of two or three days, the noise in the town made Neil feel inexplicably kind.

He took the payment from Harrington, which was a lot more than originally expected. After he greeted the others, he walked onto the street alone, looking at the noontime scene like a tourist. The sun shone from overhead, illuminating the smooth gravel road amidst the endless yelling of the vendors.

After all, if Neil and the others hadn't fought all the way out of the monsters, Harrington and the other businessmen probably would have all confessed to Lavya Village. In addition, there are three people missing, and the rewards for this mission are quite reasonable. Considerable.Finally, Neil, who was cheated by Carpenter and Guxiang Chun, had a little money in his pocket.

Although the streets that were much busier than Bach City gave Neil the urge to take a stroll, but he did not forget that he still had important matters to tell the religious order.

"However, the feeling of leaving immediately after getting acquainted is really not very pleasant."

After sending the envelope in his hand through the chamber of commerce that was in charge of transportation, Neil muttered silently while browsing churches and other buildings on the street.

After all, he has fought together, and he has a good relationship with several other people, including Owen and Ivy.It's just that after arriving at the destination, they had to part ways for their respective goals.

I don't know if there is a chance to meet again, the world is so big, the probability of meeting again is extremely small.

But for the free mercenaries, this also needs to get used to slowly.

"The Order...the Order...ah, there it is."

Finally seeing the familiar religious order logo among the buildings in the distance, Nilton turned his direction and walked towards the church, which was more magnificent than the other buildings.

He was not worried about his itinerary. When he sent the letter, he specifically asked the staff of the chamber of commerce that the ships across the Olan Sea would leave in three or four days. Neil had plenty of time to do work in Ike City. Prepare.

After all, after leaving here, I would have to stay on the boat for more than half a month, and I had to buy any supplies in advance.

While thinking, Neil pushed open the door of the church.

Um, okay, no scantily clad nuns drinking drinks in the lobby or anything this time.

Many residents were sitting on the chairs in front of the church, quietly listening to the middle-aged priest in front of the podium narrating the teachings of the Lord God.

The action of Neil pushing the door seemed to have caught his attention, and after glancing at him for a while, he continued to explain as if nothing had happened.

Neil didn't bother him either, he just found a seat at the back and sat down, waiting for the priest to finish his sermon.

It is very impolite to interrupt the religious order when it is conducting preaching activities, and it is even an act of challenging the authority of the religious order, and Neil does not intend to run into this bad luck.

Anyway, I still have the glory of the Ron family. If something happens to me who is far away, it will be bad if it gets involved at home.

It's just that the priest talked about the authority of the Lord God for a long time, which was really hard for Neil to listen to.

After all, the current Vegetable Chicken God and the Demon King couple have lost both sides. After almost 1 years, they can't even go down to earth in person.The only way to cultivate brave men is through the sect, and then continue to send expeditionary troops to try to fight against the monsters.

As a result, most of the expeditionary forces will not be able to return, and on the contrary, the strength of the monsters has been greatly strengthened.

And the male brave men from all over the world are counted on the "Excellent Husband List" by the monsters, waiting to try their luck sometime.

Under this mind-stopping operation, Neil really couldn't feel any respect for that little bitch.

Speaking of which... it seems that the raccoons also have the habit of recording the information of male customers and then selling them to monsters?

The corner of Neil's mouth twitched suddenly, remembering Gu Xiangjun's wicked smile when he left.

When she gets back the custom-made weapon, she has to tear up my information, otherwise it will be much more troublesome in the future journey.

In the process of Neil's rich inner activities, the drowsy sermon finally came to an end.

"My friend, do you have something important to discuss when you come to the church?"

The priest with the round eyes did not step down from the podium, but stood directly on it and asked, motioning for Neil to come over and talk to him on his own initiative.

What an arrogant attitude.

Neil couldn't help but pouted secretly, stood up from the chair, took out the envelope from his arms, and walked in front of him.

"I'm Neil Ron."

"Ron...is that the family that governs Loharrin?"

The priest frowned, and after thinking for a while, he asked with some uncertainty.

Guigui, my family has not been completed like this, I can't even remember the priest in the next city.

Neil thought helplessly, and handed him the envelope in his hand.

"On the way here with the caravan, I discovered the existence of the Dark Priest in Lavya Village."

The priest's originally indifferent expression suddenly changed, and even his voice became louder because he was taken aback.

"What did you say!? Dark Priest!?"

Seeing that Neil nodded, he finally put away his lazy attitude and frowned.

"Wait here for a while, I'll call Bishop Burns over."

"If the situation is true, we must immediately notify the church to completely purify that land."

Volume 24: Journey to Borowy: Chapter 24 Chapter [-] Bishop Burns

Hearing the news of the notorious dark priest, the priests of the order reacted much faster. Neil just sat on the nearby chair for a while, and then saw a man about 30 years old running away in a hurry come over.

"You are the heir to the Ron family, right?"

It's like you know our family very well...

Neil complained in his heart, but still nodded respectfully on the surface, and replied.

"I'm."

"The news you brought is very timely. If it is delayed for a while, it is very likely that the monsters will use Lavya Village as their base and attack the surrounding towns."

From the sweat streaming down his forehead, it could be seen that he was really anxious when he heard the news.

After all, the main targets of the dark priests are basically aimed at the clergy of the religious order. First get rid of them, and then they can freely spread the degenerate teachings in the city.

As the city of Yike, which is not particularly far away from the village of Lavya, can easily be targeted as a target. At that time, the priests like them will be the first to suffer.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Burns Heyman, the emeritus bishop, and I'm the main person in charge of the church in Ike City."

He seemed to have just realized that he forgot to introduce himself due to anxiety. He patted his head in annoyance, then bowed slightly, and saluted Neil.

"Hello Bishop Burns, nice to meet you."

The honorary bishop... the position is not very high.

Neil saluted like him, thinking silently in his heart.

In my previous life, I didn't have many opportunities, and I didn't even have much interest in getting in touch with religion.

However, he was born in a noble family and had to deal with the religious order from time to time. Neil still gradually figured out a rough stratification of the religious order under the influence of his ears and eyes.

From the pope at the top, to the cardinal, the cardinal priest, the cardinal six ranks, and then to the archbishop, bishop, honorary archbishop, honorary bishop, and patriarch.

Neil still vaguely remembers that there should be a few more positions in the future, but it's a pity that he didn't study well and can't remember clearly.

Bishop Wallis, who presided over their test ceremony in Rescateje before, was one of the cardinals.

Compared with him, the Bishop Burns in front of him is nothing more than a small shrimp.

However, unlike Rescateje, which is the headquarters of the religious order, Ike City is only a major city in Kasleti, and naturally no high-ranking personnel will be stationed there.
