Chapter 046: Does your church add points?
In front of everyone's sight, a team of more than 30 people, riding tall war horses of different colors, were approaching quickly.
When Helena and the others saw this scene, they all breathed a sigh of relief and felt that their surroundings were finally safer.
"These are the rescue team you mentioned?"
Colin asked, and Helena nodded and moved her lips: "Yes, when they arrive, we should be able to return before night falls."
As she spoke, her tone became much more lively.
While talking, Colin glanced across the faces of these people to make sure that there were not too many wrong emotions.
The moment he saw the warden, he felt like he had been exposed and that everything was a setup to capture him.
But judging from the expressions on the old butler and the soldiers' faces, there should be no ambush.
"That's right. They know nothing about me. Even if they set up a trap, it's impossible to do it this way, let alone through these people."
As his thoughts turned, Colin calmed down.
With his current strength, the other party would need to send out at least one Beyonder like the "Defiled Knight of Virtue" to pose a threat.
Can he do it relying solely on the warden and his bunch of misfits?
At this time, the old butler with gray hair on his temples came over with a neat and clean gray hooded robe in his hand: "Sir, do you need a robe?"
After a pause, he added: "This will effectively prevent you from being looked at unreasonably by them."
If people knew that the young lady was walking with someone dressed as a refugee, who knows what rumors would spread.
Colin took the grey robe, touched it casually, and put it on when he found nothing wrong.
After all, although everyone looked miserable, no one was as miserable as him, who was almost wearing a "sack", especially this "sack" was covered with various patches.
Not long after, the warden came with a dozen of his temporary subordinates, dismounted in front of Helena and the others, put his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly, performed a ritual, and then said:
"Praise the God of Knights, I am Calder Zain, and I am glad to see you safe and sound."
Helena nodded but did not speak. The old butler with gray hair on his temples took over and said in a slightly accusing tone:
"You are... an apprentice knight? No first-rank member of the Knights of Virtue is here?"
His tone was full of doubts about the fat middle-aged man in front of him.
Warden Carde's mouth twitched when he heard this. He had received the secret letter and was prepared to follow his superior to provide support, but when he found out that he was actually the superior , he knew this would be the case.
Because according to the laws of the Kingdom of Knights, when a noble sends a distress signal to a nearby city, if nothing unexpected happens, there must be at least one official member of the "Knights of Virtue" in the rescue team who can use the power of any virtue.
If nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be one to three first-rank knights stationed in Blackrock City.
"Please allow us to be rude, but please allow me to explain. There is only one 'Knight of Virtue' in Black Stone City, Sir El Knight. Yesterday, Sir El Knight went to the City of Wheat Ears for an urgent mission. He was suppressing a cult called 'Swallowing Festival' and was unable to come here..."
"Okay, no need to talk anymore, now take us to Black Rock City."
Helena waved her hand, telling Carde not to explain any more. He nodded quickly and led everyone into the carriage.
During this time, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at a mysterious man in a gray robe. He felt that this person looked familiar, but it was not appropriate to confirm anything now, so he looked away.
"It seems that you didn't notice me."
Colin muttered in his heart. To be honest, when he heard them mention the name "Knight of Virtue", he was shocked at first, because he suddenly realized that his previous observation did not take the "Knight of Virtue" into consideration.
It is still unknown what the abilities of the other virtues are, but if "humility" were to get in, he would be in danger.
But when he heard that the person had left, he was somewhat relieved.
"If that's the case, the next move should be stable. I can't say it's 90% certain, but it should be 70% to 80% certain."
"This cult called 'Swallowing Festival' has really helped me a lot. It's just the name..."
"It's about eating and hunger. We need to be careful and pay attention to everything. Find an opportunity to collect information. Ms. Rabbit seems to be particularly concerned about this..."
While thinking, Colin got on a carriage. Of course, he didn't get on the old butler's carriage, but the one with the group of guards.
Because of his outstanding performance before, the guards in the carriage had to make a large space for Colin even if they had to squeeze together.
"Sir, are you the Thunder Priest of the Deep Blue Church?" a guard couldn't help but ask curiously.
Colin, who was chatting with the second employee, Don Ken, about prison information in his mind, came back to his senses after hearing this:
"Deep Blue Church?"
Can your church become stronger by adding points?
After a little understanding, Colin realized that this was one of the mainstream churches that believed in storms and thunder and was often located near the sea.
However, in the Kingdom of Knights, there are very few churches. It is Orthodox, but not mainstream.
In the eyes of the guards who didn't know much about it, Colin's previous attack methods were like the power of thunder.
He did not explicitly deny their speculation, but he did not reject it either.
As to whether it is true or not, it is up to them to guess.
If you think it is, then it is. If you think it is not, then it is not. Anyway, those who understand will understand, and those who don’t understand will not understand even if I tell them…
His identity as a follower of the "Deep Blue Church" also fits his characteristic of knowing nothing about this country.
Then Colin learned some information about the Kingdom of Knights through trickery. This is a country founded by the legendary King of Knights who holds the eight virtues. There are many knightly orders as direct forces of the kingdom, among which the "Order of the Knights of Virtue" is the most direct of the direct ones.
After the kingdom is the church, and the state religion is the "Church of Light". But for some unknown reason, the "Church of Light" has only status but no substance. The truly powerful ones are the three major churches that are nominally one level lower than it.
"Holy Healing Church", "God of War Church", "Church of the Spirit of Earth and Natural Rebirth".
"My goodness... why is the third name so long?"
Colin wanted to ask about the specific details of these things. He felt that after collecting this information, the mission reward would probably be a lot.
But unfortunately, these soldiers didn’t know much and basically just knew the names.
However, these people knew nothing about the "devouring feast" that he was currently most interested in.
A guard who was slightly injured and only had a broken arm sighed and said, "I don't know what I was thinking about.
"Alas, this time the magic fog disaster broke out, and Her Majesty the Saint of the 'Light Church' was also involved. We were surrounded by the magic fog at that time. If it weren't for Her Majesty the Saint, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to escape.
“But after saving us, Her Majesty the Saint rushed into the deepest part of the disaster fog to save more people. I don’t know what the situation is now.
"May the light protect her..."
When talking about the other party, the guards were grateful but also a little worried. Perhaps all they could do was pray silently.
Seeing the depressed atmosphere in the carriage, Colin did not strike up a conversation.
He wasn't too interested in that Saint Lady ...
Now all I can think about is how to break into the prison.
The second employee, Don Ken, whose identity had been confirmed, was waiting for him in prison.
