A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

"They have no experience with female warriors." Thomas made a tactful excuse.

But... well, arguing with other men over a woman seems like a normal man's reaction!

Thomas thought so as he left the room.

it's getting dark.

But there is still some work to be done.

After all, the leader said that there are only three days.

Thomas knew that this matter would definitely haunt him.

Even if he couldn't tangle with Thomas, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, he would still tangle with Aragorn, the alpha wolf, and Aragorn, the warrior of the Order of Perun.

Damn it, I shouldn’t have given him such a crappy name as Aragorn.

There is no Lord of the Rings in this world, so even if you put this name in this world, you can't marry an elf princess. But there are still a lot of bad things!

It's time to go see Freya.

Thomas had made up his mind not to go find the witch unless it was absolutely necessary!

But now it seems that the time has come for us to take action.

He went out, called the groom, chose a vigorous horse, and planned to go out at night.

However, just as he was adjusting the saddle, he heard some noise outside.

A horse came up, and the rider looked familiar. Thomas recognized it as one of Freya's servants.

You can tell it's a messenger by looking at it!

"Sir!" The messenger also saw Thomas and was overjoyed. "The lady asked me to bring you a letter!"

Damn! I was really fooled by that woman!

Thomas took the letter but didn't open it immediately. "Go back and tell her I got it," he said.

The messenger did not stop and rode away.

Thomas took off the half-mounted saddle and put it back in its place, then turned around and went back to his room with the letter.

The content of the letter was a bit strange.

At least that's what Thomas felt when he opened the letter.

Because it's written in Chinese characters.

Specifically, a four-line poem written in Chinese.

Love the spring flowers with all your heart, and do not forget the happy times.

Then there was a cumbersome note explaining that he had learned it from a Tatar who knew Oriental Chinese characters.

Of course, there are also detailed annotations for these four lines of poetry.

But Thomas didn't need any annotations. How could he not understand Chinese?

He seems to be well versed in both simplified and traditional Chinese ancient books.

He even remembered the full text and name of the poem, "Farewell to My Wife."

But what is the meaning of writing this poem?

Damn... this... does she really think she is my wife?

Thomas just felt confused, and there was a strange feeling mixed in, but he couldn't explain it.

Then he patiently read it from beginning to end, all the way to the bottom.

Freya actually noted here that these four lines of poetry were not written for him, but to remind him.

Apparently, things were a little different than Thomas had imagined.

But what does this note mean?

Although Thomas was smart, he was confused.

"If I'm alive, I'll come back; if I'm dead, I'll miss you forever." Can this be understood as a reminder that I'm in life and death crisis?

But what does "Try to love the spring flowers, and never forget the joyful times" mean? Remember those days we spent together in Bohemia?

Relying on divination every day to live?

Just as he was lying in bed, puzzled, something knocked on the window, making a "bang! bang!" sound.

Thomas immediately got up from the bed.

It's time to come!

Chapter 154 Before the War 4

I opened the window and saw a gray owl outside.

A rolled-up letter was tied to the owl's claws.

Thomas untied the letter, then lit the oil lamp and began to read by the light.

As expected, it was a call from the Wolf's Lair.

An emergency call issued by the Gray Wolf.

After the fire at the villa was over, the Wolf's Den team disbanded because it seemed that the job was done.

The cult responsible for Malovit's arrival was completely destroyed, so the resurrection of Malovit naturally came to nothing.

For the gods to be resurrected, on the one hand, the gods themselves must have this ability, and on the other hand, the help of believers is also indispensable.

Otherwise, there would be no need to bother trying to stop Marlowet from coming. Just go to bed.

Wait patiently for Marlowit to recover before taking action.

But now, the emergency call has come again.

There is no doubt that the Wolf's Den also discovered that Marlowet's advent was not the end.

The Knights confirmed this through the holy book of Marlowet.

But other forces obviously have other means to confirm it.

From a soldier's perspective, Malovit's resolute arrival not only disrupted the Knights' steps, but also made all other hostile forces panic.

Or it could be understood that Malovit's deployment was very thorough. He had more than one backup plan, and at least one of them was not under the enemy's surveillance.

In the letter, the Gray Wolf (or the Wolf Lord) probably feared that everyone would not be motivated enough, so he also offered further chips for bribery.

In this operation, no matter how much the loss is, the Wolf Lord will provide compensation.

In addition, promotion and salary increase.

Of course, a salary increase does not mean giving money, but rather that the superiors will give out precious items that are said to be able to further improve the strength of elite soldiers as a reward for those who have made contributions.

Finally, the Wolf Lord personally promised that if everything went well, the one who made the greatest contribution would be rewarded with a rare treasure from ancient times.

A golden apple!

It is said that if a core warrior eats the golden apple, he can become an elite warrior without any harm or risk.

If elite soldiers eat apples, there is a certain probability that they will be promoted to protector of the country.

The former was a legend Thomas had heard long ago—although it was only a legend and could not be confirmed, he was inclined to believe it.

The latter was the veiled suggestion in the letter, at least it was the first time Thomas had heard of it.

As for not going... Thomas didn't even have that option in mind.

If Malovt really revives, not to mention others, all the Christians in Kiev will probably be in trouble.

The time we got from the Grand Commander was three days later.

Today is over, it's too late.

Then tomorrow is the final gathering time.

In other words, the forces mobilized were only from the city of Kiev and a small area around it.

More reinforcements from afar, but distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

This should also be Malovet's plan.

In this regard, Christianity has a great advantage. After all, the Christian power is mainly in Kiev and its surrounding areas, so it is relatively easy to gather strength.

Thomas had made up his mind, so he burned the letter and lay down on the bed with peace of mind.

Strangely enough, I was previously baffled by Freya's letter, unable to figure it out and sleep even after pondering it over and over. But now, with the summons from the Wolf's Den, I've completely lost track of Freya's letter.

I lay on the bed and fell asleep immediately.

When I woke up in the morning, the fog from last night showed no sign of dissipating, but instead became even thicker.

However, this level of fog only makes people feel a little strange, and does not affect people's normal life.

Those who need to do business should open a shop and do business, and those who need to go out should go out.

Thomas noticed that the sun was out now, but the sunlight could only suppress the fog, not eliminate it.

This situation is probably not a natural phenomenon.

He went out as usual and had breakfast at the shop outside.

Here is a very good and delicious boiled beef. Add some vegetables and a small amount of grains to make a solid meal.

It can make people very full.

When Thomas came up, he saw Eva and Boris having breakfast.

Thomas sat opposite without any hesitation.

We were already familiar with the place, so the waiters here brought us fresh food without saying a word.

"Wait," Thomas said. "I need some extra today."

The waiter stopped and listened to Thomas' instructions.

"Give me three servings of this dish," Thomas pointed to the food on the table.

Cooked meat has a limited shelf life, and even though the weather isn't hot, it won't taste as fresh at night.

"And a little corned beef, and some kvass, to fill my water-skin."

Eva looked over curiously.

"Going on a long journey?"

"Two," Boris said suddenly. "She's not going."

Thomas naturally had no objection, but Eva refused.

"Why don't you let me go with you?"

"Danger!" Boris replied.

His outward indifference did not affect his inner rationality, so he had already inferred something from Thomas's few words.

"I can protect myself, I really can!" Eva said. "And if I do nothing, if I don't take any risks, I'll never improve myself."

Actual combat is very important for a soldier. As we all know, training alone is not enough for a soldier.

Training is a simulation of actual combat, not actual combat itself.

Although what happened yesterday was finally resolved, it obviously had a great impact on Eva.

After all, she had also been trained as a warrior and had the self-esteem and confidence of a warrior.

Eva's insistence forced Boris to give in.

The Blasphemous Knight also has confidence that, at least in most cases, he is capable of protecting his woman.

"Where are we going?" Eva asked.

"Outside the city," Thomas said. "It's not too far from here... on horseback. There's an area."

Thomas said vaguely.

He was going to gather there, but he wasn't sure if that was the destination.
