Chapter seventy-two piety
"Duke Crimson, he is now yours. Recently, for some reason, Your Excellency Richard suddenly summoned all the strong men under his command. Now several major countries and some churches are very uneasy, fearing that he will become his next target of attack. There are too many powerful people under the command of the Great Duke Crimson, and there are famous generals like Angela. The Grand Duke himself is even more invincible. With such strength, why does he still have to gather strength and send Anrekara at will, and then he can destroy a principality. Since Your Excellency Richard summons the strong men, it means that his target is definitely not a principality, nor a small kingdom."
Shim's last memory was still at the critical moment of the Invaders' War. He was locked in the Fire City by the Duke of Grasberg, and then suddenly fell asleep. The terms mentioned by the countess, such as the Crimson Grand Duke, were extremely unfamiliar with Antikara, but he grabbed the keywords and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "Mr. Richard is indeed summoning the strong, I want to go."
"But it's too late to go, it's said that the deadline is less than ten days away."
"I'll be here in five days."
"Five days, but when you set out, it will take three days just to prepare your clothes, followers, food and water on the road."
Shim jumped up, grabbed the maid and ordered, "Go and prepare my hunting suit and sword, and ask for three other good horses, and then put it in a bag of bacon and bread. Go and do it immediately. I will set off in an hour. Those guys who are not as strong as mine will not have to bring them." In the last sentence, Shim roared with great enthusiasm.
Then Shim simply washed and changed clothes, hung his sword and got on his horse. In less than an hour, he rode out of Jinghu Castle and flew towards the blue water oasis. On the castle rooftop, Yekaterina held her face in both hands, and was so surprised that she could not close her mouth for a long time.
After a long time, she moaned: "Oh, my little baby, you are so handsome."
After awakening this time, Shim seemed to have become a different person, acting like a wind and fire, decisive and capable in making decisions, and no longer paying attention to any luxurious enjoyment. A few horses and a bag of food dared to cross the kingdom alone and head to the blue water oasis far away in the bloody land. At this moment, Shim did have a bit of heroism, and saw Yekaterina's eyes shining and her face flushed.
"Where are you here?" The lady suddenly shouted.
Two maids appeared behind her immediately, but the bruises that had fallen on their originally beautiful faces had not yet subsided.
The Countess was still looking at Shim's back affectionately and said, "Pack up the carriage, summon my most elite warriors, and bring all the strong men who can show off. We are ready to go to the Crimson Principality to participate in the war of His Excellency Richard."
The two maids flew away. It won’t take long for the Countess of Jinghu Castle to be the center. The nearly 10,000 square kilometers of territory will boil. The soldiers who belonged to Countess Yekaterina and the Duke of Grasburg will gather on the shore of Jinghu Lake and then rushed to the border between the Redwood Kingdom and the Crimson Duchy of Red Red. The Countess will take the lead and go to the Blue Water Oasis City to meet Richard, expressing his willingness to attach the horse's tail in this operation.
When the maid left, the countess still had a slutty smile on her face, but her eyes saw power, wealth and ambition.
As the focus of all the attention of the western part of the mainland, Richard, the Crimson Duke of Farrow, was quiet at this moment. Except for the farthest generals, most people have gathered in the Blue Water Oasis City. Although there are still a few days left before the time limit set by Richard, many people can no longer wait.
"Boss, let's go now. It doesn't matter if you have few little guys."
In Richard's consciousness, Tiramisu's voice sounded again,
The Ogre Lord's body is getting bigger and bigger, and it is already more than six meters at this moment, but there is still no sign of stopping growth. Such a huge body makes him extremely uncomfortable in the Blue Water Oasis City, which is mainly human. The buildings here are too small and too exquisite. Except for a few broad streets, the ogres in the alley cannot squeeze in. Once he turns around, he may accidentally squeeze a house.
Moreover, in places where ogres appear, horses, cows, and dogs raised by ordinary leaders will be frightened and fled everywhere, or sank on the ground and unable to move. Even some monsters used as mounts or combat assistance will be affected. Therefore, in this increasingly prosperous city, the space for ogres' activities is getting smaller and smaller.
Tiramisuba must not go out early to leave this damn place. In addition, the ogre lord felt that he had not been active for a long time. If this continues, it should be energetic to itself so that the joints can be stainless.
Richard just smiled indifferently and passed on his decision in his consciousness, "When the messenger of the Iron Triangle Empire arrives, we will talk about the war."
A group of followers immediately found the keyword: Iron Triangle Empire,
In the magic laboratory, Richard was buried in the drawing of the crimson fire. This structure is coming to an end and can be completed in only two or three days. However, this structure failed to produce magical souls. A fourth-level structure like the crimson fire is not too difficult for Richard now, so he can take a relaxed attitude and chat with his followers while drawing the structure.
During the break, Richard took out a piece of magic paper, drew a special magic circle on it, and wrote another sentence: "Try not to participate in this war."
The lines gradually disappeared shortly after they were finished writing, and then the magic paper burned violently and turned into ashes in an instant.
In the church of God of Courage in the distance, the cardinals had just held an important prayer ceremony. At this moment, they were walking out of the temple in groups of three or three, and chatting with each other.
Busquets is the newly appointed cardinal. He is known for his outstanding achievements, courage to deal with the blasphemer Richard, and accurate judgment. Several major movements of the Crimson Principality fell into Busquets' predictions, especially he accurately predicted that the strategic direction of the Crimson Principality was to be in the ancestral highlands, and he was temporarily powerless and had no interest in using troops to the East. As a result, he became famous and even attracted the attention of the God of Courage Nei'an. He was promoted to Cardinal with an absolute majority vote soon.
At this moment, Busquets was talking to two older cardinals. Of course, the topic was inseparable from the latest movements of Richard summoning the strong. He suddenly felt a sacred book in his arms warmed up slightly, so he quietly found an excuse and hurried back to his residence.
After carefully closing the door, Busquets opened the sacred scripture and quickly turned to the designated page. On the page, a line of words slowly appeared: "Try not to participate in this war."
Busquets was startled and his heart immediately jumped up. He looked it several times and confirmed that it was Richard's handwriting, and that there was no abnormality in the way of transmission. The handwriting appeared for a moment and then slowly disappeared. Busquets raised his head again and looked around his room with a very cautious and cautious look, confirming that everything was quiet and normal, and then he let out a long sigh.
This room is standard equipment for the Cardinal, so it includes several rooms, which are tall and profound. However, after Busquets moved in, there was no addition of any furnishings. The facilities in the whole room were extremely simple, and the original appearance of the walls that were not painted after the construction was completed. There were few furniture without any decorations, and there was no carving.
There were several robes on the hanger against the wall, which had been washed a little faded. Just in terms of the furnishings in the room, the pastor in the smallest church in the countryside lived a little more decent than here. Looking at the scene in front of him, no one would be associated with Busquets's previous life. When he was presided over a temple, he was famous for his luxury in life, and he was reported to the Pope several times.
But now, Busquets went from one extreme to another. Before becoming a cardinal, he announced that he would live a life of asceticism before he redeemed his sins. At first, people just thought that he was just covering up his eyes and making fun of others, but three years later, such voices were much less. Until now, more than ten years have passed, and all doubts about him have become praises. Even Nei An noticed that there was such an asceticism among his senior clergy.
Busquets sat at the table, his thoughts suddenly became dazed, thinking about the day when he changed his destiny many years ago. When Richard handed the paper with magical arts in front of him, he absolutely did not expect that his entire life and even his entire faith would change.
His eyes fell on the holy scripture used to convey information to Richard, and suddenly his heart trembled. The magical arts given to him by Richard were indeed hidden by Nei'an. Over the years, he has been secretly interacting with Richard and passing the most confidential news of the Holy See to Richard. However, the divine graces he received from Nei'an were more and more, so much that he could even fear himself.
Today, Busquets is already a priest at level 18. This level has barely touched the threshold of the pope. Of course, it is only under extremely special circumstances. In the history of the God of Courage, there are few popes below level 19, but only one has reached level 21.
But the cardinals, including the Pope, are very optimistic about Busquets' self-discipline and asceticism. They all believe that Busquets' promotion to level 19 in the future is not a problem.
At this time, what appeared in Busquets' heart was not gratitude, but fear. He was afraid that he would be exposed to the sight of the God of Courage for too long. In that case, God's eyes would always see through the secrets in his heart. So once he heard a similar voice, Busquets always tactfully refused, saying that he had no extravagance for the Pope's throne. There were even two times when he could raise the ranking among Cardinals, and he refused tactfully.
