Lord of Glory - Chapter 100

And at this time, hundreds of miles away in Nurba. This church, which had closed its doors for many days, welcomed an uninvited guest.

Under the plain black robe and hood, revealing a hint of long aqua blue hair. Although the face could not be seen because of the hood, but the aura that emanated was an inexplicable wisdom. Behind this black-robed man was a young girl, reflecting the luster of the leather armor covering the key parts. A dagger was wrapped around that white and tender waist. At first glance, she is just an ordinary woman. Unfortunately, if you look closely patiently, you will find that she is full of coquettishness when she smiles.

That’s right, these are the great ice magicians Nashura and Adele. At the beginning, they escaped from prison in order to clarify O’Neill who was killed by Paladin. Not long after the single incident, when the head of Helitte’s Principality of Kasmi announced that O’Neill was a traitor to the Mages Association. This strengthened Nasura’s determination to clean up the grievances of his friends. After inquiring from many sources, he and Adele sneaked into the archive room to investigate and found out that there are still two sons left by the exterminated Flamel clan. Among them, the eldest son was a knight in the army, and the second son was a priest in Nurba. Nashura, who doesn’t like to deal with nobles very much, traveled day and night to Nurba, looking for the Paladin priest. Hope to get some favorable evidence.

When the two stood in front of the locked door, Nashura wondered why it was noon and still not open, Adele immediately went up to the door and knocked: “Father! Are you there, Father? We are devout believers and would like to receive your teachings!”

Adele said these kinds of words heartlessly. It only made the old wooden door shake. But at that moment, a passing peasant woman carrying a basket of fruits and vegetables looked at the two and said impatiently, “Father Paladin is out and not here. You’d better go back.” Nashura faintly froze, then took the hood off his head, revealing that handsome face and long watery blue hair. The lady took a look at such a handsome man, suddenly her eyes went gold and her face turned red. Only to see Nasura smiled very politely and said: “Can I ask this lady, where did Father Paladin go?”

The older woman immediately laughed out of embarrassment, the young man in front of her could be her own son, and she fell in love just now. She simply said: “Young man, I see that you are very polite, so I will tell you.” After saying this, the aunt directly ignored the sad Adele behind her, took Nashura’s hand and said with a smile: “Recently for the battle, the lord recruited all the middle-aged men in the town. The priest is a good person, so he went with him.” “Battle…”

Nasura muttered to himself. But the expression was all gloomy. He exchanged glances with Adele, and both knew what the news meant. The priest who accompanied the army died nine times out of ten. Nasura thanked the aunt, took Adele away from Nurba, and made a detour to the cemetery in the backyard of the church. Nasura looked at the tombstones of different sizes and shapes in front of him, sighed and said to Adele who had just climbed in: “This Paladin is a nobleman. How could he be sent to become a priest with the army?”

“You mean, someone is trying to secretly add to it?” “That’s right.” Nashura nodded his head. With a look as if he could see through it, he whispered: “Someone doesn’t want the Flamel clan to survive, and now that such a big thing has happened, this guy who secretly framed O’Neill must not dare to make a big show of his wrongdoing. As you can imagine, this is a very powerful and able to influence the ecclesiastical figure. He let Paladin, who is a nobleman, go forward to accompany the army, so naturally there will be many opportunities to be able to silence him.” Adele nodded with a look of agreement and added: “And don’t forget, this Paladin’s brother is also at the front line, fighting as a knight.”

“Hey, these two brothers are in danger. I don’t know what this guy in the dark is trying to exterminate the Flamel clan for. Because what threat can a mere family of a knight create?” Adele pulled the thinking Nashura intimately and reminded, “Go inside, maybe we can find something valuable from the house.” Nashura also had to nod, opened the backyard window and tumbled in. This dilapidated, perennially disrepaired and plain church came into view.

Adele looked at everything around her with some surprise, and touched the cracks left by the years on the dining table, and the obvious signs of repair. In a tone of admiration: “Hard to believe that this Father Paladin is a nobleman. I have never really seen any nobleman willing to stay here in such an environment. It’s simply too humble.”

Nashura waved his sleeve, rolled away the cobwebs in the corner of the stairs, and said in an uncertain tone, “It seems that this priest does not like luxurious and opulent churches. I have never heard of a priest who does this, except for some true ascetics. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought this was the home of some refugee.” Myriad eyes looked at Nashura, Adele immediately smiled delicately and said, “Listening to your tone, you very much like this Paladin. Hasn’t your Mage Society always had no good feelings towards the Holy See?” “That’s different.”

As Nasura said, he picked up the only decorative vase next to him and looked at it: “The Holy See and the Mages Association are both spell casters. However, many priests just use the name of Enos, but for their own profit and to do nasty things. In the eyes of the mage, this is an extreme insult to the name of the caster. But this does not mean that we will not give corresponding respect to noble and pious priests.”

Adela lifted her shoulders indifferently, she was not the least bit interested in the conflict between the mages and the church. Looking at the stairs leading up to the attic, she immediately went up and grabbed Nashura’s hand and walked up the clicking stairs and said, “Go up and have a look, maybe you can see the unknown side of this priest and make you completely change your mind.” Nashura also let her hold his hand. As soon as he stepped on the attic, pushed open the wooden door, the image of a messy bedroom appeared in front of his eyes.

Nashura looked up and down at everything and said with a little frown, “It seems that this priest doesn’t like neat living environments.” Saying so, Nashura glanced at the crucifix nailed to the wall and bent slightly. Turning his hand, he found a huge pile of books piled into a mountainside. Even the bookshelves inside could only show a foot. “Huh, this priest likes to read books?”

It seems that they have found a common interest. As a scholar who specializes in all kinds of knowledge and is proud of it, mage. He picked up the top book with a slight smile. After reading the title of the book, He blurted out in surprise: “Comprehensive theory of alchemy?” He flipped through it casually, and it was full of very professional terms and various very esoteric graphics. Recalling that Adele was originally a mentor lurking in the Freemasons’ Association, he immediately called out, “Adele, take a look at what this is?”

The latter moved her body in boredom, glanced at the contents of the book, the casual eyes immediately disappeared, and took the book, like a tutor assessing a student, she kept flipping through the contents of the book and its contents. Notes and outlines annotated with a pen.

Gradually, Nasura was surprised to find that the smile of admiration appeared on Adela’s face more and more. He couldn’t help but say: “I have to say, if the priest is the one who wrote the notes in this book, then he is really a genius in alchemy! Hermes distilled and refined can be contrasted and stimulated by Carter’s circle, He scolded Vilov’s magic crystal formation theory to pieces. Hehe! He even modified the foundation of the magic circle by himself, and regarded the masterpieces that many previous masters were proud of as superfluous. I have to say, this guy is either a genius, or downright crazy. If these notes were seen by the Federation’s old pedants, they would certainly be angry to death alive.”
