Blood of Mercury

Seeing that a dozen people gathered in a small group and walked slowly towards this side, talking non-stop along the way, Roland couldn't hear what they were talking about at all.

Even if it is only a few dozen meters away, it is after all separated by a closed window. The noise outside was filtered through a layer and then passed in, and it was already blurred. Even with Roland's extraordinary perception, he could only hear their cheerful laughter.

Roland glanced at it and knew that the holy emblems on those knights came from different gods.

For example, the blond young man who stood out in the center of the crowd was the Templar of Tyre, and then the little man huddled with him was the knight of Kelanvor. As for the green-haired girl in tight thin silver armor, Roland knew she was the Templar Knight of the Goddess of Life without even looking at the holy emblem.

Although the remaining knights had parts that were blocked from each other, Roland could still see a little side of the holy emblem through their interlaced bodies. With Roland's understanding of the gods, knowing a little is enough to judge their belonging.

Eleven Templars in all. Except for the knights without N'Zoth and Elsax, the other gods who participated in the battle of the White Tower were basically all there.

If it had been a month ago, they would have only had the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. Even the best-case scenario is to fall into a cold war and distance yourself from other knights of gods. There is no possibility of being as close as a family like now.

For this aspect, they should really thank the White Tower Wizard.

But because of this, Roland wanted to know what they were talking about—a group of Templars who kept their Lord God together in three words, how could they not fight?

Roland thought maliciously.

…If only Elucado were here.

With her concealment ability, she could get close enough to hear what they said.

Thinking of this, Roland couldn't help but sigh.

After the crusade against Tyre ended, Roland and the three of them separated directly from Scott.

Esther took Scott and the two to sign the contract, and at the same time waited for Parbuchko and Clavi to return, and then told them about the Peace Council.

Elucado was the only one who left with Roland. But after leaving the sight of the three, Roland immediately let Elucado out and asked her to find Joseph.

Roland still remembers. The money he got in the White Tower is still with Joseph.

Just in case, Roland never contacted Joseph again during the White Tower. All communication is done through Elucado.

It was because of Elucado's concealment ability that Roland was able to complete the finishing touches on the plan.

In the previous agreement, Joseph would transfer the huge sum of money to a place that Roland did not know. Then hide himself together, waiting for Elucado to find him.

Although Elucado is now an undead, she used to be a brain eater after all. She had already memorized Joseph's taste, and with her hunter instinct, she would be able to find Joseph in less than half a month.

Roland estimated that Elucado should be on his way back now.

"Excuse me for now—"

Horner was about aware of the destination of those knight masters. After apologizing to Roland, he hurried downstairs.

"Eh? Mom?"

Little Lim looked bewildered.

Contin put on his jacket in silence, and then followed.

"Good boy, come and drink some broth."

"Um!"

Roland smiled and touched Lim's little head, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Are you here for a night stay...

No, if all this number of people lived in, it would simply drive the Kangding family to a dead end.

According to the teachings of the elders of Lonely Mountain, mountain people cannot say no to anyone who comes to sleep.

This doctrine was originally intended to protect merchants. Fararu was originally a relatively closed country, even more so hundreds of years ago. In the deep mountains, the transactions of some daily items are in many cases maintained by those traveling merchants.

When the guests are staying overnight, the mountain people will trade some goods with the guests from other places. The Lonely Mountain Elders are here to protect the soil for this kind of trade. Only then will "hospitality" be written into the teachings of the mountain people.

However, if you think that the hospitality of the mountain people is simple and honest, you are wrong.

The mountain people are rude, but they definitely don't lack the little wisdom of the country people. In the perennial struggle with wild animals, in the struggle with bad weather and bandits, the children of the mountain people mature much earlier than some children in foreign countries.

In a country where seven or eight-year-old children have to think about **** a life, if you are deceived by the mountain people's teachings and simple and honest words and deeds, and take them as the kind of honest and honest people, they will sooner or later be in their hands .

One thing to note here is that the concepts of "stayers" and "guests" have been separated since the doctrine has developed.

For mountain people, it is the guests who take the initiative to provide food and drink—that's why Roland said "sincereness of seeing" after seeing the bowl of broth in front of him.

to their own guests. Not only can the mountaineers not be expelled on their own initiative, but they must even shelter them as much as possible.

The purpose of the Templars was obvious at a glance - they would not be able to climb over the mountains and back to the temple in this extremely cold weather. The reason why I came to Sodom now is probably just to stay here for the night.

Whether it is Titan or Suze, as long as the owner is not stupid, he will not allow the Templars to live in.

Under the cold winter. The people's life is already very difficult, and living in one person means sharing a portion of food. Even if one person does not come, so many people freeze to death and starve to death every year, and one more person increases the chance of death by one point. Moreover, the Templars are adults, and each of them has a considerable appetite, and it is even more difficult to feed them.

And as for Caral...that's right. Under the Druid's Great Barrier, Kalar is indeed the warmest place in winter. But as long as those Templars weren't stupid, it was impossible to spend the winter in Caral.

The White Tower is in ruins, Caral can't pass through at all, and it is difficult for Titan and Suze to communicate - the only solution is for everyone to live in Fararu.

Roland Lou gave a meaningful smile.

The reason why Anvilia and the others left so many things in the White Tower was not to show weakness or to hide the existence of the Fifth Tower. The real reason is to let them pick up soft hands and delay the journey home.

Don't delay. As long as there is a delay of two days, the heavy snow will just be able to seal Titan to death. Suze is far colder than the south, and Caral can't pass it. Once the road to Titan is blocked again, these Templars can only go to Fararu to stay temporarily.

But Fararo was surrounded by Caral on three sides. The Templars must ultimately be unable to return to their home temple from Farraro. They can only choose to return to the White Tower after the winter snow has melted, and then return south from the original road of Titan.

As long as Esther takes the opportunity to lift the seal leading to the underground, the underground creatures will pour out in one breath.

If there are too many people, there will be chaos. This rule must not go wrong.

In the chaos, no one would notice who had released the underground creatures. And these Templars who were stranded here were forced to go shopping with these underground races.

Under the cold winter, it is impossible to have outside reinforcements. The only people who can fight these underground races are these Templars.

Whether they choose to fight to the death here until the system collapses, or retreat in embarrassment and let the underground army spread to Caral and then flood into disaster, it will undoubtedly cause a huge blow to the prestige and strength of the gods.

And the plague created by Roland will also be hidden under the war. If these underground creatures cannot be dealt with in the end, Roland will manipulate his plague to obliterate all these underground creatures.

It is not worth spending your own energy and time to deal with the gods. After all, Roland is only one person, no matter how busy he is, he can't be busy.

Anyway, the underground race will invade sooner or later. Better let them come out early.

When these Templars are destroyed, the gods can't do it even if they want to stand by.

[Plague hatching completed]

Just as Roland's voice was spoken, a line of light blue characters appeared in front of Roland's eyes.

Roland's right fingertip twitched slightly, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but raise a slight arc. (To be continued.)
