The Immortal Wizard is watching

Chapter 65 Situation of the Church
"Even Count Drake has already participated in the resistance of the new alliance?"

After seeing Eve off, Ronan leaned on the chair and muttered to himself.

Otherwise, the other party has no reason to spend such a high price to win over a not-so-important member of the royal family.

Unless he has an older brother who is about to become emperor.

But as the already powerful earl of the kingdom, what would be the reason for the other party to participate in this resistance?
Ronan, who lacks information, doesn't fully understand, but one thing he is clear about.

Prior to this, the overall situation in the empire remained peaceful, and the war reserves of the lords in various places were not high.

Nowadays, with the intensification of the war, the price of weapons has been soaring, and it has been pulled to a seriously inflated position by supply and demand in a short period of time.

Ronan's super high consumption when buying armor from Triumph City is one of the manifestations.

And Earl Drake is the largest and most extensive weapons supplier in the empire, with trading routes connecting the seven countries.

In any case, this is a good thing for Ronan.

After all, his family's great cause of seizing the king will definitely affect him. Of course, the stronger his own power, the better.

Then he called the Finance Minister Aldrich.

"I will temporarily leave Black Rock City for a period of time. During this period, if anyone comes to me, they will say that I am not meeting guests, and they will all be shirked."

"Follow the city lord." Aldrich nodded and accepted the order.

This is not the first time, the Ronan City Lord in front of him has disappeared from Black Rock City from time to time.

The time spent in the city is far less than the time away, and Aldrich is used to it.

Having said that, the city lord can always solve problems in the city in a timely and effective manner.

His actions were generous, so the government officials in the city spoke highly of him.

Especially not long ago, after rumors about the identity of the other party's royal family leaked out.

There were fewer troubles when the decree was promoted, and the caravans in the city were more cooperative.

After Aldridge left, Ronan also walked out of the castle shortly after.

He took Ed, eighty knight troops and necessary supplies, and left on horses through the back door of Black Rock City.

Just like the secrecy when he came here, Ronan's trip to Triumph City this time also tried to keep outsiders from knowing as much as possible.

Mu River town.

This is the central region of the Northern Province, far away from the remote Black Rock City.

More than two months have passed since the day when the mercenaries and slaves rebelled and attacked the steel town of the Heyman family.

As a mercenary who escaped from the rebellion, Oro was sitting with his companions in the town's tavern, drinking beer and relaxing.

Thinking of what happened that day, Oro couldn't help touching his shoulder.

He still remembers the talking crow that came to him and changed his life forever.

Not only did it give him great strength, but it also allowed him to step into the legendary path he had dreamed of for a long time, just like the protagonist of a knight novel.

Well, it's hard to say, Oro couldn't help complaining in his heart.

With his terrifying appearance after transformation, he might be the villain in the novel who was bewitched by the devil, waiting for the protagonist's crusade.

But mind him.

As the price of power, so what if you become a believer in the devil.

At least the devil will regard him as one of his own, and the nobles will never even look him in the eye.

Oro thought in his heart, and couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him.

Previously, it was relying on the strength of the opponent that they were able to be ignored on the battlefield and escape unharmed.

It's the same now, the girl is holding the expensive wine from the tavern indiscriminately.

After taking a sip, I felt dissatisfied, so I threw it on the ground and changed to another bottle.

Oro looked at the price in horror.

I'm afraid he needs to work for several years to drink a glass of these wines, and the sum of the girl's waste is enough for him to spend his whole life.

But other people in the tavern turned a blind eye to this.

Neither the other guests nor the bartender seemed to notice what was going on.

"Well, Annika, please be quiet, don't throw the wine glass on the head of the boss here like last time, exposing us to eat and drink for nothing."

Oro reminds that Annika is the name he was told.

With this period of getting along, their relationship is at least much more harmonious than before.

Kate, his companion, nodded, "Indeed, at that time, it was all up to Auror to beat them down so that we could leave safely."

"I didn't ask you to do it, I just thought the wine there was too bad, and I just wanted to taste the taste of those people."

Annika raised her slender and fair thighs, stuck out her tongue and licked the corner of her mouth, saying nonchalantly.

Hearing her words, Oro and the others were speechless.

During this period of time, they had also seen Annika's wantonness, so they were not surprised.

"Don't look at me like that. Indulging and enjoying the stimulation of the spirit is the practice ritual of my sect. I am not a traitor from the temperance sect. It is hypocritical to talk about restraining desires and controlling the spirit."

Throwing away the wine glass in her hand, Annika looked at Oro.

"Leave me alone, tell me about you, or don't want to tell me where your strength comes from?"

"Didn't you say it? It's a gift from the gods. After all, I don't understand the status at all. Who are you and what does my power represent? I don't know anything. How do you want me to explain it?"

Oro looked at her helplessly.

"Okay, then let me introduce you." Annika's expression became serious.

"There are gods in this world, you should know that, but not just the one from the church."

"The Silver Moon Sect that I belong to, the Red Moon Sect that you vampires belong to, and many other sects hidden in the corners of the world, they all originated from the gift power of their respective gods."

"The Red Moon Cultists are in charge of the manic power of flesh and blood, and the Silver Moon Cultists are in charge of the sinking mind control."

Oro, who had already expected it in his heart, was not too surprised, after all, he is not a devout church believer.

It's just that he still has doubts, "In this case, why do you say that it is impossible for the gift of the gods to appear on me? Isn't your strength also a gift?"

"It's not the same. The gift in me comes from the power of blood passed down by my ancestors after offering sacrifices to Yinyue in the age of ignorance."

Annika stared closely at Oro's eyes, "The same is true for other religious groups. In this age of silence of the gods, no one can transform the believers and let ordinary people have our power!"

Oro finally realized his problem.

Originally, he was just an ordinary person!

He thought of the weird crow and couldn't help swallowing.

"Maybe that god from the Red Moon Cult was in a good mood that day, so he gave me a hand?" He said awkwardly.

"Oh, it's best like this." Annika laughed cheerfully, "I have already notified the senior management of the Silver Moon Cult, and they will be here soon, and they will know your specific situation by then."

"That," Oro asked worriedly, "I want to ask how is the relationship between your Silver Moon Sect and my Red Moon Sect?"

"Relationship? Ha, of course it is," Annika was about to scare him, but suddenly she couldn't help frowning.

Two people dressed in special clothes walked into the tavern, one of whom was a senior executive of Silver Moon whom she knew.

But another woman with long red hair made her frown deeply.

The special power emanating from the other party made her realize that it was a strong member of the Red Moon Sect.
