Quadruple split.

Chapter 789

"That's right. As I said just now, Lord Lucius"

Goshawk with a firm face but already covered with bruises took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "I approached the east side of the main peak of Sumir according to your order, and found a strange shape on the cliff on the mountainside. It's a breath that can't be described in words, yes, even though I am a knight, I still feel a... er... a very vital force pervading there."

"Drink the medicine."

Lucius sat back on the chair with a sinking face, threw a bottle of light green misty potion to Goshawk, and said in a deep voice, "Continue talking."

"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Lucius."

With a pale face, Goshawk drank a big gulp of [Potent Healing Potion with Unknown Ingredients]. His body, which had been extremely weak due to the plane crash, immediately warmed up, and the various values ​​on the panel began to rise rapidly.

Lucius nodded noncommittally, motioning for him to continue.

"I was a little nervous at the time, and I didn't pay much attention to hiding my figure, but chose to shorten the distance immediately.

Goshawk lowered his head in shame, and said in a low voice: "Then I saw a series of lights, some places are very dazzling, and some places are not bad."

Lucius tapped the table twice, and interrupted roughly: "So what did you see under that light?"

"Uh"

Goshawk hesitated for half a second before saying with a strange expression: "I should have told you just now, my lord."

Lucius narrowed his light gray eyes slightly, and said coldly: "Yes, I know very well, but I need you to repeat it now, Mr. Goshawk."

The latter froze immediately, and repeated what he had said just now without thinking: "Yes, there are war horses under that ray of light, many war horses, and they stand there motionless, looking a bit scary with murderous looks. Carrying as many knights, at least I think those are knights, they wear golden armor and sit like statues on horseback."

"Ah."

Lucius' expression seemed to soften a little, and then he continued to ask after slightly nodding: "Then, what else did you see?"

Goshawk frowned, and pondered: "There are many people. I saw a lot of orc shamans, and some people wearing golden or white robes, holding scriptures, maces, and a lot of messy things in their arms."

"Golden or White Robe Codex Mace"

Lucius pinched his brows, a trace of fear flashed in his lowered eyes, and asked slowly: "Do you know what the emblem of the Union of Holy Churches looks like?"

"I'm not sure, my lord. Although I spend most of my time in the Northeastern Continent, I've never been a believer in the Union of the Holy Church. In fact, I feel that I don't get along with those people... or some people in it."

Goshawk shook his head sincerely, and said in a deep voice after a long silence: "But I have indeed seen some emblems, although I don't know if they belong to the Holy Church or not."

"Draw it."

Lucius took out a piece of blank parchment from the stack of parchment in his hand and handed it to Goshawk, and said lightly: "Looking is enough, I still have some research on the bastards of the Holy Church Union."

"Yes!"

Goshawk nodded, picked up the pen and began to draw.

A moment later
"This should be the emblem of the Dawn Sect."

Holding that extremely abstract painting and studying it for a while, Lucius, who almost blinded himself, rubbed his eyes, picked up a quill casually, and scratched a few lines next to the weird painting of Goshawk. With a pen, he quickly completed a vivid Dawn Sect emblem, raised his head and asked, "Is that so?"

Goshawk nodded vigorously and looked at Lucius with great admiration: "That's right, my lord, it's not bad at all!"

"Oh, mine is not bad, but yours is much worse."

Lucius gave a dry laugh, then quickly pulled out the Chapter 2 parchment, and quickly drew on it the Justice Sect, the Sun Sect, and the Abundance Sect. The representative sect emblem, Shen Sheng asked: "What about these, have you seen them during the investigation?"

Goshawk shook his head honestly, and said in a low voice: "This... I was too far away at that time, even if I wore the eagle eye scroll that was distributed before."

"I know you were far away from them."

Lucius interrupted him coldly, and said sharply: "But you still have to answer this question, Goshawk, even if it's just a little impression, tell me if you've ever seen these damned signs!"

Goshawk was silent for a while, then hesitatingly raised his finger and pointed to the emblem of the Sun Sect: "I think I've seen this one, my lord. As for the other two, I'm really not sure."

"Dawn Sect, Sun Sect."

The last trace of blood faded from Lucius' handsome pale face. He stared at the dazzling emblems on the parchment, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, why are they in that place? How could it be in that place!!"

Feeling a chill, Goshawk shrank his neck subconsciously, and asked with a tense expression, "My lord, are those people really the Holy Church Union?"

"It's very likely, but it's too early to say for sure."

Trying to calm himself down, Lucius rubbed his forehead, and said in a low tone that was more like speaking to himself than to Goshawk: "Maybe it's just some blindfold, you continue to talk, seeing those paladins and priests After that, how did you find out?"

Goshawk swallowed imperceptibly, and pondered: "Everything happened too fast, I wanted to see more clearly at the time, but the light around those people flashed into my eyes, and finally I came back to my senses At the time, Dudu had already been hit by several golden light arrows, and then... I fell with Dudu, if the snow below was not thick enough, I might not even be able to come back to see you alive."

"Knocked you down with just one blow?"

Lucius stood up abruptly, and while pacing back and forth behind the long table, he muttered: "You must have been at least several hundred meters away from those people at the time, and the one who could accurately lock on to you and use the magic spell immediately The person who made the attack is definitely not inferior to the Epic Rank, Goshawk, could the person who attacked you be a big shaman in Tianzhu Mountain or something?"

The latter honestly shook his head, and replied without thinking: "No, although I didn't see who made the attack, I can swear that it is definitely a divine spell, not the elemental spells of those shamans!"

Lucius stared: "Why are you so sure?"

"I was once involved in a big battle, and I saw several priests of the Dawn Sect use the same divine spell."

Goshawk immediately gave an answer that couldn't find any faults, then his face suddenly suffocated, and he lowered his head in embarrassment: "My lord, although I did fight side by side with the people of the Holy Cult, that was just"

Lucius waved his hands a little irritably, and said lightly: "I know, that was all before you believed in my lord, and I wouldn't mind it because of this."

"Yes."

Only then did Goshawk raise his head again, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Thank you for your tolerance."

Lucius nodded noncommittally, then stopped suddenly, and cast two sharp eyes on Goshawk: "Is what you just said true?"

Goshawk was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded vigorously, and said loudly: "There is absolutely no lie."

then
He got a full 1500 points [Regional World Mission: Sacred Mountain Suppression Battle? 】 Contribution.

Personal contribution: third place - 2031
Goshawk stared straight at his task panel, swallowed tremblingly, feeling like a dream.

But Lucius thought that the young man in front of him was frightened by him, so he quickly squeezed out a slightly stiff smile, nodded to Goshawk calmly and said: "Don't worry, I didn't doubt your intention, it's just that The involvement of this matter is too important, so I have to be careful, okay, go down and rest first."

"My lord, I."

Goshawk opened his mouth, but Lucius interrupted him just after he said three words.

"Go to rest, I will send a few more people to investigate the situation over there, if it is true."

Lucius straightened the chair that was almost overturned by him just now, and said a little tiredly: "You, the scout with the best air mobility, work harder and fly to Whispering City to report the situation to Archbishop Eden. "

"Yes!"

Only then did Goshawk show a relieved look, bowed to Lucius, and sent a message quietly by the way——

"Master Black Van, the latest information, the commander of the cult will send another group of people to investigate on the main peak!" '

'Received, thank you for your hard work, keep in touch at any time. '

Mo Tan on the opposite side of the message bar replied a message in seconds, and the response was as quick as an automatic reply.

"Go."

Seeing that Goshawk's mood had calmed down, Lucius raised his chin to signal the latter to leave.

two minutes later
"The guys that Goshawk saw were really members of the Holy Church Union?"

Tom Lestrange quietly appeared behind Lucius, and asked his own question straight to the point.

The latter didn't answer, but just leaned on the back of the chair and meditated as if asleep, and after a while, he asked slowly, "What do you think?"

"I have no opinion."

Tom shook his head, and then yawned boredly: "I don't know anything about those strategies and plans. You must know, dear Lord Lucius, when a person's strength reaches a certain level, those Everything that looks fancy and complicated becomes worthless, and I never put my heart into something worthless."

Lucius turned his head and glanced at his son coldly, and said sharply: "You are too arrogant, son, if you continue like this, you will pay the price for your arrogance sooner or later."

In the end, Tom raised his eyebrows as if he didn't hear Lucius' words of hating iron and steel, and just asked without interest: "So do you want to answer my question?"

"As I said just now, to be able to hit a goshawk from a distance of [-] meters with divine magic, this kind of thing must be at least at the epic level."

Lucius sighed, lowered his eyes and said, "Combined with the veritaserum you prepared yourself, I'm [-]% sure that there are indeed people from the Union of Holy Cults on the main peak of Sumir."

Tom snorted softly: "So what? You must know that the expeditionary force is absolutely impossible to mobilize manpower under the nose of Whispering City. They held that hill."

"It's not whether they keep it, boy."

Lucius smiled wryly, and pressed his forehead with throbbing veins a little discouraged: "The important thing is the attitude of the expeditionary force of the Holy Church United. If they really send some elites to Sumer, even if it is only a few hundred As human beings, our situation will become very delicate."

Tom, who really knew nothing about strategy, glanced at Lucius and asked curiously, "For example?"

"For example, when we have made all the preparations and launched a large-scale attack on Sumir, we suddenly launched an attack on our main force that has always been active in the foreground."

Lucius looked at the sand table in front of him, his eyes were almost narrowed into two thin lines, and he said in a deep voice, "There are many worse possibilities. All in all, no matter what, we have to tell Whispering City about this and let Eden The Archbishop decides."

"Shirk responsibility?"

Tom couldn't help but laugh.

"That's right, it's just shirking responsibility."

Lucius nodded slightly, and admitted bluntly: "Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages has never been a shameful quality. In fact, the Lestrange family is today because we know how to put ourselves in the safest position." place."

"Oh, that's just because 'you' are not strong enough."

Tom smiled contemptuously, turned around and walked into the sudden darkness, and disappeared from Lucius' perception in an instant, leaving only a cold sentence
"Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is just a whitewash for the weak."

"Ugh"

Lucius Lestrange sighed, and murmured: "Perhaps what you said is right, but the problem is that the words 'seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages' have never been a compliment, and How can you whitewash it?"

at the same time
The main peak of the holy mountain Sumir, behind the deterrent position
"In most cases, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is a valuable quality."

Mo Tan sat in front of a temporary stone table, gulped down the coffee in his hand, and said with a smile: "But if the information Goshawk gave me is not too flawed, then now, with such a valuable quality Mr. Lucius Lestrange is on the point of no return."

Yi Zuo, who was sitting next to him (with the Holy Seal of Dawn) and acted as a small human body warmer, blinked in confusion, and asked in a low voice: "But senior, hasn't Mr. Goshawk just been in contact with the cultist commander for a long time? Why do you know so much about the latter?"

"No, Goshawk probably doesn't know him well."

Mo Tan shook his head, stretched his body lazily, and then casually threw a black chess piece in his hand onto the table.
"But what he briefly described to me is enough to make me empathize with that Mr. Lucius."
