Things about the female knight in black stockings

From the words of these people, which were [-]% true, [-]% false, and [-]% obviously exaggerated, Valencia and Tia obtained two pieces of information that were somewhat valuable through cross-comparison and comprehensive analysis.

It's all bad news.

One is the current owner of the extremely colorful giant chicken, the collector named Erquan Logins, who is famous for his arrogance, stubborn temper and eccentric personality.

There have been many people who have taken a fancy to Erquan Loggins' various collections, but no one can meet his weird trading conditions.

And all those who wanted to take something by force were beaten badly by Erkun Logins, and even the other way around.

He robbed all the wealth.

This great collector with an eccentric personality is a Yao-level powerhouse who has lived for more than 300 years, and is probably already Yue Yao.

Secondly, the search and pursuit of Sarvat Langdon by the three major organizations, the Church of the Sun, the Council of Sages and the Forest of Witches, has begun, but the process is not going smoothly.

According to the children of the aristocratic families at the party, some chambers of commerce in America seemed to be covetous of Savat Langdon's skills and provided him with cover and assistance.

Some people also say that the local cult in America has colluded with Savant Langdon and is preparing to cause big troubles together.

Some people even say that there are traitors in the three major organizations, and they deliberately let loose during the manhunt, which is why the manhunt for Sarvat Langdon has not yielded any results.

There are certainly falsehoods and exaggerations in these claims, and they are certainly not groundless.

Sarvat Langdon is likely to have an assistant in America, and this facilitator is very powerful or has very high means, allowing Sarvat Langdon to hide under the pursuit of the three major organizations.

These two pieces of bad news immediately made Valencia and Tia lose interest in continuing to visit and have fun. They stayed at Morgan's house for one night and said goodbye to the Morgan brothers and sisters the next day.

Chapter 39 Valencia’s father’s old friend?

As for the itinerary, Valencia and Tia had planned it before coming to America.

Meeting the Morgan family on the way was an accident, and establishing initial contact with a group of children from aristocratic families through the Morgan brothers and sisters was also an unexpected reward. Now that the accident is over, it is natural to return to planning the itinerary.

For example, visit the Church of the Sun in Gondia.

In the original planned itinerary, this was Valencia's first stop after arriving in America. However, the Morgan brothers and sisters were too kind to refuse yesterday, so they delayed it for a day.

At the Church of the Sun in Gundia, Valencia not only received support from the organization, but also met an old friend she had not seen for a long time.

"Aunt Ilana!"

It was an extremely tall, plump, blond, blue-eyed goddess, half a head taller than Valencia, and nearly 1.8 meters tall.

"Oh, isn't this little Shasha? It's been a long time since we last met. She has become a beautiful girl. Come and let Auntie give her a good hug~~"

Valencia is still relatively reserved. After meeting, her expression was a little excited and her voice sounded a little coquettish.

Priestess Ilana, who was wearing a very holy priest's uniform and had a very attractive and sinful figure, immediately hugged Valencia and gave her a hard blow while Tia and several other priests snickered. Valencia had a face wash, just like Valensa always did when bullying Chiba.

With one hand, Valensa pressed the facial cleanser on her body to treat her. Ilana also used the other hand to rub Tia's silver hair. She just picked up a dull hair from the neatly arranged hair, and then said with a smile:

"Long time no see, Little Tia, you have become a great beauty... I didn't expect you and Little Shasha to actually come together. I'm afraid many noble young people in the royal capital are heartbroken, right?"

"...Long time no see, Aunt Ilana, you are still young, beautiful and full of vitality."

Tia seemed a little dissatisfied with her hair being messed up, but she had no choice but to deal with the naughty elders, so she could only say a little sarcastically, and then started chatting with a smile.

Ilana is the current high priest in charge of the Cathedral of Gondia, and one of the three powerful men of the Sun Church in Gondia City.

But a few years ago, Ilana had always been the high priest of the Cathedral of the Royal Capital of France. She had a very good relationship with Valencia's parents. She loved Valensa and Elena as if they were biological daughters since they were young.

In fact, Valencia has had a feeling since she was a child... If one day Ilana suddenly marries her father and becomes her baby mother, she will not be surprised at all.

After learning about the true relationship between her family and the Church of the Sun, and having the intelligence authority of the Knights of the Inner Temple in the Church of the Sun, Valensa also learned another thing.

Ilana and Valencia's father, Wilson Bardel, were childhood sweethearts like Valencia and Tia who grew up playing together. If Valencia's mother, Trelica, hadn't fallen from the sky, she would have eventually become Bardel. The countess is most likely Ilana.

But even if Valencia's father married the evil god in order to save the world, it's hard to say what the relationship between him and Ilana was... Anyway, Valensa felt that there was a high probability that the two were having an affair.

That's why when Valencia's father died in the battle, Ilana was so angry that she lost her cool, gave up her duty as the high priest of the Kingdom of France, and pursued the cultists of the Yuanling Church all over the continent.

At that time, it was not the church headquarters that ordered Ilana to be transferred from the capital of France, but Ilana herself who acted secretly without obeying the instructions. The church headquarters had no choice but to send a new high priest to the capital of France to take charge of the affairs. Lika, who also had a good relationship with the Badr family, was sent from the God's Continent to France and asked to take care of Valencia.

After Lika secretly went to Serkin Town to visit Valencia several times, she discovered that Valensa had grown up very quickly through the adventurer life, and she also had plans to enter the War College, so she didn’t bother her and planned to wait for Valensa. After Valencia returned to the royal capital on her own merits, she told Valensa everything and personally handed over to her what Valensa should inherit.

As for Ilana, who was furious for her childhood sweetheart, it can be regarded as a small success in revenge.

The two Xingyao-level Yuanling Church cultists who participated in the sneak attack on Valencia's father and managed to save their lives from Valencia's mother were hunted down by Ilana and beaten all the way from France to America. In the end, they were all killed by Ilana. Na killed it with her own hands.

But this process also took Elana more than two years. If she returned to the capital of France, she would be held accountable for leaving her post without permission. In addition, she did not want to see Wu Si Ren and Yuan Ling still in America. She finally stayed in the Cathedral of Gondia, and quickly became the chief priest of this cathedral with her many years of work experience in the capital of France.

Valencia knew these things only after she obtained the intelligence authority of the Knights of the Inner Temple. At that time, she was still thinking about waiting for the War College to graduate or to come to America during the summer vacation of her second grade. Unexpectedly, her plan could not keep up with the change. It's here now.

All in all, Valencia used to be quite resentful towards Ilana, an elder who couldn't find anyone to help her when she needed the most help, but after knowing the truth and thinking about it carefully, it's not incomprehensible.

The person Ilana really cares about the most is her childhood sweetheart Wilson. She has loved Valencia since she was a child, but she only loved her... In addition, most women are emotional and impulsive, so it is normal for them to give priority to revenge after the incident.

So Valencia has already forgiven Ilana a long time ago, and now she is reunited and reconciled, and she can lie in Ilana's arms and enjoy the facial cleanser.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Ilana dismissed the increasingly curious and gossipy local priests, took Valencia and Tia to her room, and said that they came to America this time to help with anything. You can find her.

Valencia was not polite, and after a few words of coquettishness, she made her first request:

"I want to meet America's Inner Temple Knight first... Aunt Ilana, you should know that I have made an exception and inherited most of the Inner Temple Knight's authority in advance, right?"

With that said, Valencia also showed Elana her divine particle armor and lightsaber. These are exclusive equipment for the Knights of the Inner Temple and are also the best proof of identity.

"Well, I heard from the headquarters, little Shasha, you are so powerful... you were able to kill a star-level cultist when you were at the Pearl level. This set a new historical record for the church!"

Ilana smiled and nodded without any surprise, but after staring at the silver armor and lightsaber on Valencia for a while, her eyes became a little blurry again:

"As expected of being his daughter... When he first inherited these equipment, he came to me to show off as proudly as you do now, and even took the opportunity to talk to me... Hey, Wilson, this idiot, brags all day long that he is even the evil god. How can a person who can surrender suddenly... ugh."

Chapter 40 As we all know, Qingmei is no match for the sky.

Ilana may have realized that Valencia and Tia were adults, and they could talk about many topics that had not been allowed to be heard by children before. She talked a lot in one breath, all of which were between her and Wilson. thing.

Ilana and Valencia's father really had an affair!There was even a dispute between Qingmei and Tianshuang with Valencia's mother like in many animations... Of course, the result was that Qingmei lost to Tianshuang.

In the process of jealousy, Ilana and Valencia's mother Trelica also felt a bit like strangers, and they gradually turned from love rivals into very good friends.

Not only did Trelica pretend to know nothing about her husband occasionally praying in the cathedral for a long time, but she also jokingly said to Ilana:

"You say every day that I stole your man, do you want me to give birth to a son to compensate you?"

However, the evil gods of the Yuanling clan cannot give birth to male individuals, so Trelica's words were just a joke.

Seeing that Ilana was taking the topic further and further, Valencia could only interrupt Ilana's memories, and once again made her request to meet the Knight of the Inner Temple of America.

Ilana sighed:

"I'm afraid I really can't help you, little Shasha... because even I don't know the true identity of America's Inner Temple Knight. I've only contacted her a few times by exchanging messages."

Ilana doesn’t know America’s true identity as the Knight of the Inner Temple?

Valencia was a little disappointed, but not too surprised.

The true identity of the Knights of the Inner Temple is kept secret even within the Church of the Sun. For example, Valencia's identity in France is known only to some clergymen in the Royal Cathedral, and almost all clergymen in other cities do not. You know, even the great priests and paladin captains of the Brilliance level.

That's why the Knights of the Inner Temple have exclusive equipment, not only to improve their combat effectiveness, but more importantly, to identify themselves to unsuspecting priests when needed.

Although Gondia is the second largest city in America, and the high priest in charge has a higher status than the high priests in other cities, after all, Ilana has only been in America for a few years, and compared to the priests who are on the field, Paladins tend to be more involved in internal affairs, and have less contact with the Knights of the Inner Temple at work. It is reasonable not to know the true identity of the Knights of the Inner Temple.

In this regard, Valencia could only sigh:

"Then it seems that I can only wait until I arrive in Alant to visit that senior... Many of my action plans in America this time require his support and help."

Just like Valencia's previous life, when the Chinese police arrested criminals who committed crimes across regions, they needed the police from both places to cooperate in handling the case. If Valencia, the Knight of the Inner Temple of France, wants to operate in America, she must first communicate with America's inner sanctum. The knight said hello, whether out of courtesy or courtesy.

Especially since Valencia has not yet fully inherited all the authority of the Knights of the Inner Temple, acting rashly without saying hello is more likely to give people the impression that young people act impulsively and are unreliable.

But at this moment, Ilana smiled and took out a letter:

"Even if you arrive in Alant, you may not be able to see that adult, but that adult already knows about you. After all, you have contacted us in advance using magical communication.

So...here, this is the message and authorization given to you by Mr. [Moon Cluster]. He has agreed that you can act independently in America, and when necessary, you can call any one in America in accordance with the standards of the official Inner Temple Knights. With the help of the paladin of the cathedral, all you need to do is write a detailed report to the headquarters after the incident that explains the cause and effect. "

"Great!"

Valencia was overjoyed and quickly took the letter and read it, feeling a little curious and confused:

"The Master [Yuechu] you are talking about is the senior?"

"Well, look here..."

Ilana nodded with a smile and pointed to the moonlight-colored arrow cluster mark in the upper left corner of the letter:

"When that adult gives us an order by leaving a message, he will leave this unforgeable mark to prove his identity, so many people like me who don't know that adult's true identity like to call that adult [Yue] Mr. Chu]."

"understood."

With the support of America's local inner temple knights, Valencia was in a good mood. Instead of talking about work in a hurry, she started chatting again.

While chatting, Ilana proposed to take Valencia and Tia for a walk around the city of Gondia as a courtesy to the landlord.

Although I already walked around with sister Morgan yesterday, can I finish shopping in a big city like Gundia in one day?

Therefore, Valensa and Tia did not refuse, but made an additional request, hoping that Ilana could give them a brief introduction to the various local forces while shopping, so as to facilitate their subsequent actions.

"Hey?"

This made Ilana blink in surprise:

"Xiao Shasha, are you so diligent now? Are you going to work when you first come here? I thought you would have fun with Xiao Tiya for a few days before talking about it."

An accident was an accident. Of course, Ilana would not refuse such a simple request from Valencia. She soon took Valensa and Tia on a carriage ride on the streets, and gave a brief introduction to every block they visited. .

For example, which family has the sphere of influence in this neighborhood, what business does that family mainly do, what is the character and reputation of the family members, what kind of connections and influence do they have in America, etc. information.

Valencia and Tia both listened attentively, and Tia even took out a notebook to jot down the key information.

While listening, Valencia also used the power of her mind to strengthen her memory and deepen her impression. At the same time, she compared it with the information she heard from the children of the aristocratic family at the party last night.

In terms of reliability, the information from the great priest Ilana must be more reliable.

But for some time-sensitive information that is difficult to tell whether it is true or false but may contain important clues, rumors among the children of aristocratic families also have a certain value.

The three of them were chatting while looking at the street scene in the carriage. The atmosphere was just right, but Valencia suddenly saw an existence that surprised her...or rather, an area that surprised her.

She quickly stretched out her hand and pointed to that location through the carriage window:

"Is that... a slum? Are there actually slums here?"

"Slums?"

Tia also quickly put down her pen and looked over curiously, with a look of confusion in her beautiful crimson eyes:

"There are still slums now? Or in a big city like Gundia? With the blessing of the Sun Goddess, why are there still slums?"

This is not an overly naive suspicion of the two noble ladies, but that all believers of the Sun Goddess who really need help can get basic living security from the Church of the Sun for free... The kind of poor people who abide by the law but have difficulty with food and clothing, in theory It should not exist.

Chapter 41 Strange Poor People

Compared with the various relief stations and charitable organizations that Valencia knew in her previous life, the Church of the Sun is much more powerful in helping the poor.

In terms of food, there are enough breads of various flavors made from pure wheat flour, enough ordinary poultry, animal meat and fish without magical power, enough seasonal vegetables and fruits, and even some that are good for strengthening the body during holidays. Effective mid-to-high-end ingredients for everyone to enjoy.

In terms of clothes, the clothes that the Sun Church donates to the poor unconditionally and in unlimited quantities are not old clothes, but clean and tidy new clothes. At most, the styles are a bit old or not fashionable enough...most of them are goods that clothing stores cannot sell in their warehouses. They are sold by the Sun The church purchased money in one fell swoop to help the poor.

In terms of accommodation, Sun Church will also provide housing for believers in need. At most, it is not as good as those commercial residences in terms of location and transportation, but the quality of the housing itself is not inferior.

After all, this is a magical civilization. For skilled earth magic architects, a large residence that can accommodate hundreds of households can be built in a few days.Houses used for ordinary people to live in are actually quite cheap in this world. The most expensive ones are those manors and villas.

All in all, in the continent of Frenoa, as long as a person abides by the law and believes in the Sun Goddess, even if he does not engage in any work, he can still have a pretty good material life... In addition to there being a big gap in entertainment and enjoyment, just eating The clothing and housing conditions are even better than those of many migrant workers in Valencia's previous life who got up early and came home late.

Therefore, places like slums where homeless people and beggars gather together and where public security is very poor should theoretically not exist.

Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, and the Sun Goddess is indeed great, but her glory may not really illuminate every dark corner.In some small villages and towns without Sun Church churches, there are still homeless people and scoundrels.

For example, in the town of Serkin, there is a street with relatively poor security. When Valencia just obtained the divine power rune, she did experiments with the gangsters on that street.

But Serkin Town is a remote town close to the border in Franna, so it is normal to have a street with a slum-like environment.

But Gondia is the second largest city in America and the largest port. It is the only place Frank and the four island allies must pass to enter America. It is strange that there are slums.

Moreover, after Valencia stopped the carriage and took a closer look, she found that the slum was quite small, with seven or eight criss-crossing streets, covering nearly one-third of a square kilometer.

This is not just outside the city of Gondia or on the edge of the city... If the city of Gondia is divided into areas according to an archery target and the center of the city is located at the 10th ring, this slum will be approximately at the 4th ring.

But that's not the weirdest thing.

The strangest thing was that Valencia clearly saw that there was a Sun Church rescue site right at the entrance of the slum.
