Chapter 170: Commons' Melancholy

Before leaving the camp, Richard heard loud noises coming from behind, and even saw "fireworks" in the thick fog, as well as loud echoes-according to the agreement before departure, it means that the wizards are about to face a battle The attack is a sign that everyone must be mobilized.
It seems that someone has already woke up and noticed the abnormality in the cave.
But this is destined to be useless.
Prior to this, even though Richard felt that Mr. Hanged Man, who wanted to destroy the magic tower, was very likely to be lurking in this wasteland. If this old man encountered a battle between the Holy See team and the magic tower team, he would definitely take part in it. Feet, but what he didn't expect was that this person was nearby. If it wasn't for the real lady to tell him...
Because AI doesn't need to sleep, so when Richard is resting, his real name usually wanders around. As a result, she didn't know whether it was accidental or not, she saw the figure of the old wizard above the cave.
In this way, the fact that the Holy See sends personnel to the wilderness must not be separated from this person. Then... "Who manipulated the fog monsters to cause this thick fog?"
He was thinking in his heart, but he couldn't get the answer for the time being.
...
Richard quickly got out of the mist-shrouded area and did not find any traces of demons.
In this process, the Lord of Cursed Spirit never left his side, and maintained the barrier spell. He realized that the mist secreted by the fog demon was actually harmful. Although it is difficult to detect at first, once an excessive amount of white mist is inhaled into the lung cavity, a person will soon become drowsy, lose vision, and even paralyze the limbs. In other words, there are harmful factors in it that can make a person unconscious and difficult to move.
Its transmission method is not only breathing, but can even penetrate the pores of the skin to invade the circulatory system and internal organs in the body...
Fortunately, although Richard didn't know enough about the fog monster, he had the protection of the legendary guardian spirit on the physical level, and he also had the real-name super-high-level "body protection technique", and the general negative effects could almost be ignored.
As he continued to walk a certain distance inside the black cave, Richard noticed that there was another white mist flowing like milk in front of him, and as the pace went deeper, the color became more and more intense, until it was like a camp. That way, he couldn't see his fingers.
In addition, Richard also heard voices.
He stopped, knowing that he had reached his destination.

"Damn it! Who will tell me how to get rid of this stuff?!"
In the open space in the center of the cave, more than a dozen carriages of the convoy all circled around the same center, forming a circular solid barrier.
A burly man with luxuriant hair and tall horses is holding a giant steel axe. He is dancing with great power. He has launched martial arts among the electric light and flint, so a whirlwind rises out of thin air and will easily wrap himself up. The moist mist came to dissipate.
But this is meaningless to the sea of ​​fog that has swallowed most of the cave and plunged the field of vision into a white and white mist. Soon, there was another light and fluttering smoke, tangling up like the arms and legs of marine animals.
Even if this experienced former mercenary relied on force and had a physique like a beast, it would never be a good thing to stay here for a long time under such circumstances.
Not far from him, there were a few serious-faced men in black robes, hiding their faces in the shadows, muttering words, and soon raised their hands.
A dazzling firelight suddenly appeared in the white mist and quickly expanded.
This scene is like a spark falling into boiling oil, and the blazing fire instantly engulfed the fog, and the seemingly endless "ocean" disappeared in an instant.
This group of deacons of the Holy See has indeed come up with the best way to deal with the trap of the fog demon: with the help of alchemy materials, they use a certain kind of dispelling magic that restrains the biological fog. Be prepared.
However, everyone's expressions are still serious.
Because this is the first few times they don’t know how to disperse the mist
The guards knew that if they still couldn't leave from here, the thick mist would sweep in again.
"That group of beasts!"
After several counterattacks, some grumpy guards have become panting, sweating profusely, leaning weapons on the ground in twos and threes, or taking off their armor and sitting on the ground to rest, and at the same time can’t help but yell. .
......
To Commons, who was the leader of the Templar branch in the past, this scene was really difficult to see, and he couldn't help frowning.
The members of the guards are indeed very strong in terms of personal force, but compared with the well-trained knights, they are quite different in discipline and professionalism.
This is because this team was originally the result of the compromise of many forces: the composition of the royal family includes the royal guards, the royal mercenaries hired by the king, the clergy and Templars from the Great Sanctuary, and nobles like him. representative.
They all have their own leaders, and they tend to be independent in their actions, and naturally there is no discipline at all.
It's just that on this road, no matter in terms of name or strength, they have to be headed by the most prominent "Sword of Divine Judgment", Joan Borgia.
......
In the center surrounded by the convoy at this time, in a carriage engraved with the royal coat of arms, a woman's voice came from behind the curtains that had fallen down.
The voice was young and sweet, as if a nightingale was singing and singing; just by hearing the voice, one could think of the beauty of the master.
"Your Excellency Qiong'an, how is the situation now?"
The queen's tone sounded worried.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty Queen."
The blond young man who was standing next to the queen's car with a smile on his face was still a man of ease.
"Nothing will happen. Since I am under the orders of the Holy See to protect important people, I won't let anyone hurt you~EbookFREE.me~ right? Thank you."
After only a word, Queen Mary's voice was slightly low because of worry, and she began to lighten up again, obviously relieved. I could hear that she was full of trust in the young bishop.
...
Commons, who was standing nearby watching the wind, noticed the conversation between the two, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
On the way from the convoy from the capital city of Saint-Michel to the quiet territory adjacent to the eastern border, Queen Mary and Bishop Joan, who had never known each other, quickly turned into a stranger they can talk to now. Huan’s friends of the opposite sex, the attitude of chatting is like having known each other for many years...
Is it worthy of being the youngest cardinal in the history of the Covenant? His Excellency Qiong An’s skill in dealing with people is equally amazing.
In the eyes of Commons, the general praise of "genius" or "star of tomorrow" is actually far from enough to describe him, because this talent is less than twenty years old and sits in the position of power.
In the secular world, the "Sword of Divine Ruler" has long been an unattainable figure, so that people often forget his age when discussing major events.
In addition, his own strength and status, coupled with his handsome appearance, made Joan Borgia the dream lover of upper-class women in the entire three countries of the Covenant, and his popularity made it difficult for other peers to match.
Of course, Commons was not feeling jealous... well, of course it was not jealous. The queen herself wants to establish a friendship with a cardinal. This is her own will, and he is not qualified to interfere: but the existence of this relationship may be a bargaining chip that affects the struggle between secular kingship and theocracy.
This kind of worry is only due to the loyalty to His Majesty the King as a noble knight with a fief and a nomination in the Rhine Kingdom.
