The bone of sin domain is king

Chapter 120 Five Acts. Invitation

Outside the city of Byron Weiss, in the already somewhat withered forest.

The refugee camp outside the city is also a miserable scene. Although due to economic reasons, the "Holy Water" distributed by the Holy Church is not as much as in the city, but when disaster strikes, those strange beasts can also bring unarmed civilians A great threat, not to mention that there are no guards here.

But these were not what Rosen was concerned about. He had neither the idea nor the ability to save these people. He was standing on the grass right now, looking at Liliana and her two mage followers.

"You have no doubts?"

Liliana said, looking at Rosen's faintly burning soul fire with great interest.

"The temple and the mage, it seems that they are not as hostile as I imagined."

Rosen thought for a while before speaking.

"I thought you would go to war directly, but I didn't expect this to be the result."

"To be precise, it's the church and mages of the Kingdom of Astor. There's something subtle about it."

Liliana seemed to want to say something, she thought about her words before continuing.

"Ever since the Kingdom of Astor was revived by the Queen a hundred years ago, mages have always occupied a dominant position. It can be said that apart from the Rainbow Tower, mages are the most valued country in the entire continent. In contrast, the power of the Holy Church It's weakened here."

Rosen had heard about this knowledge, and it was probably because of this reason that he never encountered the inspection of the church in three cities in a row.

Thinking about it this way, Rosen had to be more careful if he went to other places in the future, especially countries where the Holy Church was dominant.

"If we had acted rashly just now, let alone the consequences of a duel between two Silver-level people in such a densely populated area. The conflict between the mage and the temple that followed was enough to make Brunhil's entire The region is plunged into chaos, which is something the Holy Church does not want to see."

Liliana spoke in a very calm tone at this time, as if she was teaching an ignorant student.

"Chaos breeds evil, and evil attracts chaos. Even if Kaslan has that ability, he still has to weigh the consequences."

In other words, this is nothing more than a political compromise.

"Now is not the time to fight. Neither the Mage nor the Holy Church is willing to focus on this kind of thing, so unless one party violates the bottom line, the relationship between the Mage and the Holy Church is quite harmonious." ——Of course, only if there is no conflict of interest.”

Liliana seemed to be reminiscing about some past events, and her tone was somewhat nostalgic.

Such a complicated political situation may only appear in the Kingdom of Astor, thought Rosen, who had a vague understanding of the geography of this world.

"I understand, but why are you telling me this?"

Rosen nodded. Although he knew that this knowledge was indeed very important to him, Liliana did not have much contact with him. According to what she said, the "favor" should be repaid, and he owed a sum instead. Then The intention of this woman is somewhat difficult to understand.

"Haven't you already become a distinguished guest of the Rainbow Tower? If so, we are on the same front."

Speaking in a reasonable tone, Liliana looked at Rosen with teasing eyes.

"Wait, I thought that was just an excuse."

This woman's thinking is really out of the way, Rosen sighed in his heart, his brain can no longer keep up with her rhythm.

"No kidding, I'm very interested in undead, especially undead like you who seem to have a special background, so I think I can talk to you. In fact, there are also a very small number of undead in the Rainbow Tower. Spiritual mages, and I, happen to have a good relationship with one of them."

Liliana said words that were both true and false, which made Rosen more suspicious.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Rosen knew what the alchemist meant by "equivalent exchange". As an alchemy mage, Liliana should naturally take this as her creed in life. She would never give anything for free, and she would never ask for it blindly. Previously, The "human affection" she talks about should be a way of expression.

"Clever, but not a good thing."

Liliana nodded, seeing that Rosen's eyes were a little more approving.

"It's very simple. I, Liliana Christopher, propose a deal to you in the name of the Rainbow Tower."

As soon as she said the words, the expressions of the two accompanying mages suddenly changed.

"It's a contract witnessed by the Rainbow Tower!"

"Oh my God, who is this guy? He actually asked a member of the Council to make such a contract."

Naturally, Rosen didn't know the weight of Liliana's words. He only felt that the woman in front of him had become a lot more serious.

"What deal?"

"The Rainbow Tower will provide you with shelter in the future, and all your treatment will be equal to that of the reserve members of the Rainbow Tower Council. I am in charge."

Liliana said, with an understatement.

"What are you doing here, Your Excellency?"

"The authority of a reserve member is already equivalent to that of a mid-level mage from a famous family!"

Ignoring the whispers between the two, Liliana continued.

"But as a price, you must complete a task for Rainbow Tower, regardless of success or failure."

"Task?"

Hearing this word, Rosen was startled. He subconsciously looked at the silver system panel. The mission status had been updated, but Rosen was still confused about the follow-up mission. Unexpectedly, Liliana threw these things into his mind again. before.

Of course, Rosen could choose not to accept it, but being protected by the Rainbow Tower was obviously a very generous reward. To put it simply, with a powerful backer placed in front of him, he had no reason to refuse.

However, he still decided to listen to the content of the task first, and if it was such a dangerous job with a narrow escape, he would not do it.

"What mission?"

"It's very simple. It's just a matter of going to a place and delivering something."

Liliana spoke very cryptically, but soon, she explained clearly.

"The wasteland in the northwest of Astor is a huge desert called 'Shallow Sea'. In the depths of the desert, there is an observation post set up by the Rainbow Tower in the early years to observe changes in the power of chaos. We have been in contact with Rainbow Tower all year round, but have lost contact recently, so we need to send someone over to check on the situation."

It sounds weird, but Rosen knows that nothing good will happen in this situation.

"It is worth mentioning that during the last contact, there was information that a holy relic was found."

Liliana gave Rosen a meaningful look.

"Holy relic?"

Rosen, who was still thinking of quitting, felt deeply malicious the moment he heard this word.

Because on his system panel, the task written in silver-white characters is related to the holy relic.
