Chapter 054 Convening
"It takes time to gather together. How long will it take for the disaster to happen?"
Colin did not think too long about the old butler's words, and responded after a few seconds: "We still have at least seven hours to prepare, and whether we can handle some things on this first day will determine whether we can survive the next seven days."
"Seven days?" Helena interrupted, noting the word.
"right."
Colin nodded, and without waiting for an answer, he asked, "I have a question. During this period of time, do you have any way to seek help from the outside world ?
"Like finding some 'Knights of Virtue'."
If he could be more humble and cooperate with others, the pressure on him would be much less.
That kind of extremely reduced sense of presence is really a bug...
Many times, the feeling of "danger" will only appear on the head when the head is really chopped off.
Unfortunately, Helena shook her head and said, "We can't make contact. This place is indeed blocked by some kind of force, and we can no longer ask for help from the outside world.
"Besides, you haven't answered my question yet."
"Okay, forget it. I can't explain to you too much why you can be safe if you hold on for seven days, but you just have to trust me. I can make sure the disaster is resolved by then."
After a pause, Colin continued:
"Now, we'd better gather our forces quickly."
Don't you want to say it? It's just like what Your Majesty said, this person has many mysterious things... Helena thought for a moment, then said, "The power of a city is usually managed by the church, the Knights and the city lord at the same time, but now, because of a cult, the 'Knight of Virtue' and the city lord are not here. We can seek help from the Holy Healing Church. I will help you contact Bishop Lawrence who is stationed here..."
What I am afraid of is this bishop ... Colin sighed and interrupted the other party: "If nothing unexpected happens, the source of the disaster will occur within the 'Holy Healing Church'..."
"How could that be? The Holy Healing Church is..."
Helena's tone suddenly paused as she spoke. She hadn't thought there was anything wrong before, but now, combined with Colin's mention of tomorrow's disaster, she did discover something.
Then she realized that things were getting troublesome.
That's a local bishop!
On the same level as the "Knights of Virtue" members who wield one or two virtue powers!
Under the grey hood, Helena looked solemn. She didn't know what was going on, but at this moment, she didn't think about questioning it. Instead, she thought quickly for a while before continuing:
"Without considering the church, we need the help of Warden Calder. Although he is just an ordinary warden, he knows Black Rock City well enough. When he was young, he participated in many missions to eliminate the magic fog...
"Although he is not very powerful in Black Rock City, he has considerable prestige, so he was sent to receive us today. If we want to know more, it is best to find him."
"Then find him quickly."
Colin didn't care about being exposed. To be honest, he actually had a certain good impression of the warden.
After all, apart from being a bit experienced and smooth, there wasn't much else wrong with him.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with a big belly came into the small hotel with a smile on his face. As soon as he walked in, he found the atmosphere solemn, and then noticed the familiar figure from the afternoon sitting there.
Helena told the story about the disaster but did not mention the church.
After listening to this, Warden Calder raised his eyebrows. He suddenly thought of something. Although he was not sure, he still cooperated and said, "A terrible disaster? This disaster comes at the wrong time...
"Sir Knight El led his elite troops away, and the city lord also took away part of the town guards. Currently, including the city guards and other miscellaneous soldiers, there are only more than 1,700 people in total, so I suggest Miss Helena...
"You can use your rights as a noble to ask Bishop Lawrence to provide us with assistance. As far as I know, although he is not a main combatant, his realm is high enough. Even the Knight of Virtue, Sir El, may not be able to fight him. If he comes forward, things will be much easier."
"We do need to visit Bishop Laurenceson next, but before that, we need to make some preparations, some preparations for when conflicts arise."
"A conflict?"
What kind of conflict could have happened? Calder was stunned. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Then he quickly realized something deeper.
Miss Helena was not unaware of the situation in Black Rock City. When she learned of the disaster, the first place she should have sought help was the church.
However, in the conversation just now, this noble lady asked me to contact other garrison forces, and vaguely wanted me to lead them. She didn't mention the church, which was obviously more worthy of contact. What contradiction is next...
Thinking about the recent "beastiality" incident, Calder, who was much more sensitive to things than Helena, suddenly had a bold idea that was not very clear -
There is a relationship between the disaster and the Holy Healing Church!
Just as a storm was brewing in Calder's mind, Colin spoke up: "The first thing we should look for is to check on the condition of Bishop Laurenson. We need sufficient preparation and strength, because the disaster is likely to come from there."
As expected, I knew there was something wrong with the Holy Healing Church!
Carde suddenly felt surprised but not surprised, as if a stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground - he had always doubted the Holy Healing Church before.
Then he realized that the reason why Lord Aiel and the city lord left at the same time might not only be because of the "devouring event", but also because these people were secretly interfering.
But before he could say anything, Warden Calder suddenly had an idea. Hearing Colin's voice, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Colin with a look of astonishment.
It was you who caused me to have a year's salary deducted and I had to lie in bed for a day or two without being able to get out of bed!
“You, you are…”
"Don't worry about it at this time. We'd better deal with the matter of the Holy Healing Church first."
Helena, who had been reminded, said at this time: "I am willing to guarantee for Mr. Colin in the name of the Hutton family."
As soon as these words came out, the person who reacted most violently was the old housekeeper , but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Helena's wave of her hand.
The Hutton family, it's really them. Even if there is a problem, it can't be blamed on me. I am of low status, what else can I do besides saying yes to these nobles? ... Calder muttered in his heart, stood up with a flattering smile on his face, bent down, nodded and said "yes".
He did not hesitate at all about his flattery and obedience. After all, even if the city lord or Knight El came, he could only say "Yes, Miss Helena".
"Take this and notify a group of people to gather together. Do not alert the Holy Healing Church during this process."
Helena took out an exquisite badge engraved with the pattern of a centaur and handed it to Warden Calder.
After carefully taking the badge and confirming that it was authentic, Calder turned and left, preparing to quickly notify some other non-commissioned officers in Black Rock City.
"Ms. Helena's status seems to be more noble than I thought. When the Hutton family was mentioned, the warden seemed to be shocked."
Colin sat on the soft fur chair, looking thoughtful.
On the other side, the old butler behind Helena inadvertently glanced at Helena in a gray robe. Thinking of her one-sided attitude when she entered the study with a skeptical attitude and came out, he couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
