holy flame

Chapter 037

"How on earth did Taran mess with the Tempest?"

In fact, it has been circulated for a long time that most of the ghost ships that have already been named have a rational captain. Otherwise, these ships will attack in a straight line at sea until they see land, and then they will be wiped out by the forces on land.Among all the well-known ghost ships, the Tempest is relatively kind. This ship will launch a counterattack against the ship that attacks them, or attack the notorious pirate ship. It should be regarded as an outlier among the ghost ships.Being able to provoke such a different kind into a massacre, and knowing that a disaster is imminent, but still concealing the truth, it is obvious that there is a deeper secret hidden here.

After all, merchants are best at scheming, and Talan's merchants are the best among them. They can make all Talan's upper echelons unite to hide secrets. Obviously, the profits are large enough for them to use their wealth and lives as bets.

"I don't know." Ryan shook his head bitterly.Of course he knew what Samuel was thinking, but it took him a lot of effort to find out the facts, and his informant could not know the more confidential information, "But your arrival has added a lot to me. Great odds."

"?" Samuel frowned. Could this guy want to take him out to sea to fight against the ghost ship?Although the cavalry is the overlord of the land in the cold weapon era, but facing the vast ocean... Samuel can't ride a seahorse, and his role is limited compared to ordinary soldiers.

"Don't get me wrong, although the Holy Spirit wants us to face the darkness bravely and fearlessly, he also said that we must judge the situation and try our best to preserve our strength. My odds of winning mean that when facing the siege of the undead, the church can protect more people."

"I'm not familiar with the specific situation of Taran." Samuel pondered for a moment, and then gave a knight salute to Ryan, "Apprentice Paladin Samuel, willing to accept the command of the priest."

Regarding Samuel's "understanding of righteousness", Ryan was of course very happy to hold his hand, and kept saying, "In the future, the rescued people in Talan will remember your kindness, and the Holy See will remember your contribution." some type of.But in fact, both of them understand that while Ryan temporarily accepted the command over Samuel, he also accepted the scapegoat that may fall on the two people's backs in the future-since they have decided to make conservative concessions, then if Tower Lancheng asked them to assist in defending the city, Ryan would only deal with it perfunctorily.Even if a huge number of civilians are saved, if Talan's ruling class suffers heavy losses, Ryan will still have nothing but faults.

After all, the ruling class in this world is the nobles. Although the merchants in Taran are not nobles, they can barely be regarded as upper class.Even though he knew that what Ryan did was right, the two of them already knew what would happen to such an officiant who only protected his muddy legs but did not work for the ruling class, without waiting for the future.

On the afternoon when Samuel stayed in the church, he received a dinner invitation from the Lord’s Mansion. Of course, in this special period, no one is in the mood to really have fun. This so-called dinner is just the other party’s temptation to Samuel. .

Holding the invitation card, Samuel looked at Ryan, looking at the servant of the Lord's Mansion who bowed and stood aside waiting for Samuel's reply.

"Cough!" Ryan coughed, "Please report back to the city lord, we will attend this dinner."

After the servant saluted the two of them, he left in a hurry.

"Samuel, can you pretend that you are the vanguard of the Holy See's reinforcements, and you already know the plans of those greedy guys?"

"The reason why you want me to swindle the storm so I can attack Port Taran?"

"Yes, although it has been decided to protect civilians at that time, wouldn't it be better if there is a chance to fundamentally resolve this crisis? After all, once the undead come over, someone will always die."

"I'll try my best." Samuel nodded. He didn't want to fight around all the time. Of course, it's a good thing to solve it with the least cost.

Therefore, Samuel turned out his most gorgeous dress this day, and put on the silver angel medal and apprentice paladin badge that were pressed under the box, and the saber was no longer the long sword he usually carried, but a It was a ceremonial dagger with exquisite patterns—they killed Martin some time ago. Although most of the seized property was handed over, they were able to take one-third of it as usual, and the dagger was one of them.Shirts, trousers, boots, cuffs, ribbons, belts, and more are all boutique items.

Wearing this suit, everyone agreed that looking at Samuel was like watching the elves in the murals come to reality, the beautiful scenery was like a dream... But Samuel felt like a Mobile jewelry display stand, but in order to identify himself to those merchants, he must also wear it.

When the time came, Samuel and Ryan arrived at the Sanctuary's Mansion in the carriage of the church.

Although Tarun has been established for nearly 200 years, to nobles from all over the world, these merchants are still just nouveau riche.But this does not wrong them. Seeing the dazzling gate of Talan City Lord's Mansion covered with gold leaf, and the guards' shining armor and weapons also covered with Jinbo, the wind of nouveau riche suddenly rushed towards them...

The appearance of Samuel stunned the old butler who greeted the guests at the door. Fortunately, he has a good memory. He remembered that the apprentice paladin of the Holy See, who was the host and guest today, had an appearance very similar to that of an elf. Otherwise, if Samuel was regarded as a The male favorite that Ryan called, if there is a faux pas, then today's fun will be great.

All the way into the banquet hall, when the resplendent and resplendent door opened, the heat and aroma in the hall, as well as other messy smells rushed over.

The huge long table was already full of people except for two seats.

"Welcome~Honorable Paladin~"

The city lord of Talan is not hereditary, but the three largest chambers of commerce take turns ruling. The current city lord is the chairman of the Silver Star Chamber of Commerce.Unlike the fat and fat businessmen in my impression, this chairman is very thin and has a horse face. Although he is not a nobleman, he wears a very aristocratic hood on his head, and his face is covered with thick hair. Thick lead powder, red lipstick on his mouth - of course, he is a man, and this is the most popular attire for aristocratic men - if you don't see that the shoes under his feet do not have red high heels①, you will really think He is a nobleman.

His attire looks ugly to Samuel, but it is a symbol of status and status to others. As a businessman, unless he has a strong influence, wearing this is courting death.

Ryan and Samuel returned the salute, and took their seats following the invitation of the city lord.

Samuel sat first on the right hand of the Santo, and Ryan sat opposite him.On the surface, on the right side of Samuel is a gorgeously dressed lady. She is the boss of Red Rose, the second largest chamber of commerce in Talan, and the most famous bustard in Talan. Xixi, but a pair of triangular eyes did not reveal the brilliance of shrewdness.But in fact, the person on his right has body odor, and the city lord smells like garlic~

But Samuel had to eat normally in this situation, and get useful news from the people around him...

Samuel didn't know how many times he was depressed because he lived in this world, so time travel is risky, and reincarnation needs to be cautious!
