Chapter 234 The Master of the 7-String Inn
“I remember Sammy said that they were entering the temple area to visit the Church of Waukeen and the Church of Talos, which Revo was familiar with.
But the Paladin of the Church of Tyr suddenly appeared and forcibly took Sir River away.
Sammy's injuries were also caused by the conflict with the other party at that time..."
The halfling maid sorted out the information she now knew.
"Ms. Annie, Radiant City is now a confusing vortex. We can't just focus on Sir River."
Retana, the owner of the Seven Strings Inn, took a bottle of exquisitely shaped wine jug and poured a glass for everyone at the table.
“A few days ago, a mysterious guest from the capital visited Lord Xiuman;
Several members of the House of Representatives who hold the power of speech have strangely begun to close themselves off from visitors and completely disappeared from the public eye.
This had never happened before;
In addition, a mysterious team entered Huiyao City from the south, just one day before you came in.
This group of people were wrapped in pitch-black armor, tall and like half-giants.
It is said that some people last saw those strange-looking tall creatures near the private residence of Lord Xiuman, the city lord."
Indicating to Ivan to taste her treasure, Retana continued:
“These are some of the more noisy things.
For example, Xiuman has been frequently in and out of the Temple of Tyr recently;
The head of the Maids Association has revealed her love affair with a young councillor;
The second daughter of the Tomba family has been missing for a few days or something like that..."
I took a sip of the drink in front of me. It was probably some kind of fruit wine, like Blue Star's sparkling fruit wine, and it felt a bit stinging in my mouth.
He turned and looked at Annie with suspicion, as if saying that the Maid Association, which claimed to have strong intelligence capabilities, was a bit exaggerated.
“Sir Ivan, please don’t question Annie.
The Maid Association always has some sources of intelligence that other organizations cannot explore."
Turning her attention back to Retana, this woman of unknown age exudes the unique aura of a superior all the time.
Even though this woman speaks very politely.
"I think I must excuse myself for a moment, everyone."
Ivan stood up and bowed to the ladies.
"I have to go back to my room and think carefully about how to get Revo out of the Tyr Church."
……
"Master, I always feel that your plan is a bit too naive...
Although we are from different camps, I still admire you very much."
A handsome middle-aged nobleman sat on a suede-padded chair. The back of the chair was also sewn with soft leather and embroidered with overlapping scales and war hammers.
“Come on, River.
There are only two of us here, why are you talking in such an official tone? "
Nordman, wearing a white robe with gold edges and a white beard, sat opposite Revo.
Unlike the conservative clergy that Ivan had the honor of seeing before, this diocesan bishop of Tyr, the highest judge of Brilliant City, and the highly respected priest of Tyr,
At this moment, he was sitting with his legs crossed, his toes hooked on his boots, and his elbows resting on the armrests of the chair in an indecent manner.
"Oh - I'm used to it, I'm used to it..."
“Don’t interrupt!
River, why do you take Ivan Nolihus as your master and swear by the name of the god Lovita?
Although I am not a believer of the Maiden of Pain, if it were me, I would probably kill me with a blow..."
"Nordman, you are becoming less and less like a lawful creature."
River picked up a tempting cherry-like fruit, threw it into his mouth and started chewing.
"In the past, you would tell us with a straight face that all evil gods and heretics must die.
You now——tsk tsk tsk..."
"before?
Ruiwo, back then, you were still a teenage second-generation rich kid in the royal capital.
He is young and handsome, and is also a candidate for the Son of God that the Church of Pain values...
Look at yourself now, what is that? A little belly?"
Nordman used the scepter in his hand to tap River's belly without any hesitation.
"Ahem, be gentle!"
The middle-aged noble stepped back in a hurry, but unfortunately the chair was too heavy, and with Ruiwo's small body, he couldn't move it at all.
"Quietly? Did I hear you right?
You used to like being treated like this by a few of us...
And he always complains that we are too weak..."
The old man with white beard narrowed his eyes into a straight line, and his expression was like a fox teasing its prey.
“Stop, Nordman!
I really can't accept you approaching me with this appearance!"
"Oh, River, you've become really picky now..."
Looking at River with a grin, Nordman raised the foot that was holding the boot.
In a pure white light, a leg that looked skinny even when wrapped in trousers turned into a female calf with delicate skin, roundness and slenderness.
Just as River was looking at the white light spreading upwards with anticipation, Nordman suddenly stopped what he was doing.
The white light disappeared, and it had turned into a complete leg, but suddenly it became old and skinny.
“Hey! Hey! How did it change back?!”
Ruiwo was planning to look at the opposite side with great joy, but his enthusiasm was extinguished before he even started.
It feels like you're halfway through reading an article and suddenly realize you need to pay to read it.
"What are you thinking about, Ruiwo!
This is the temple of Tyr. I'll just show you a small part of it. Don't push your luck!"
“Hey…Nordman, this is not my fault.
I haven’t seen your true appearance for more than ten years…”
Extremely disappointed, Ruiwo spread his hands and shrugged helplessly.
"It's been nineteen years. I have been the Bishop of Huiyao Parish. It has been exactly nineteen years..."
“Yeah, time flies!
It was like before, when we were all in the capital, we lived happily and freely..."
"You are so hypocritical..."
White-bearded Nordman rolled his eyes at River, an expression that only women could make.
……
Ivan, who was hiding in the room, did not call out Lovita's name.
But it was very long time since he called out the goddess of celebration, Lal.
“Ouch! This is rare, perverted Ivan.
Is this the first time you called my divine name correctly? "
The still delicate and beautiful Lady of Celebration appeared in mid-air, looking at the human pervert sitting in front of her with a teasing expression.
"Stop it, something terrible has happened, stupid goddess."
Ivan said something in a serious tone that made Lal furious.
"You, you, you - I'll deal with you later. Tell me, what's the big deal?"
"Do you think your priest, the one named Renata, is a little abnormal?"
"Who?"
"Renata? The one who opened the hotel for you?
It is said that he is a high-ranking priest of the Celebration Temple in Brilliant City."
The delicate-looking Lal's face became a little silly. Maybe it was because he was dissed by Ivan too many times. Now Lal can easily fall into a silly and cute state.
"Renata? I have no impression of her at all...
The Celebration Temple in Radiant City is my Supreme Church - that is, the headquarters.
Even if they are just high-level believers without professional abilities, I remember their names!"
