Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Andre was taciturn, and even had some restraint on him. After getting along for a long time, Rhodes even really believed that he was the nephew of Marquis Angel.

After meeting Rhodes, Andre didn't say much, but nodded slightly, then got up and left.

Rhodes explained to Cress, then put on his outer robe and followed closely.

Rhodes originally thought that Andre would take him to a remote corner of the capital, or even underground, but on the contrary, Andre led Rhodes to the cathedral of the capital.

This world once had a supernatural fault during the low tide of the magic tide, but religion has never been cut off. It's just that the religions during the low tide of the magic tide have no supernatural power at all, but they can still bewitch people.

After the magic tide revived, these existing religions are said to have begun to communicate with the great existence in various ways. Many religions claimed that they were successful, but there was no concrete evidence to prove their success. Even they themselves may not be sure whether they communicated with a real god or an evil will in the void.

The Eye of Judgment is the state religion of the Styak Empire. Compared with ordinary religious organizations, they have more powerful supernatural powers, a large number of documents and secular power support.

Without the intervention of supernatural powers, it is still a state religion with the influence to restrain the people. In this era, every prayer day, the huge church is crowded with people. The religious patriarch in a platinum god robe promises the devout believers to enter the kingdom of God for eternal life.

Andre and Rhodes sat among the believers and prayed with their fingers intertwined. In this environment, even if they don’t believe, they have to make a gesture, otherwise they will get into trouble.

Fortunately, the two arrived late, and the whole ceremony did not last too long. After the believers dispersed, Andre took Rhodes to the religious patriarch.

"You are here, child? May God bless you."

The kind and old pastor waved his hand in front of Rhodes. Although this was just a religious ritual, Rhodes felt a sense of tension for no reason, and the holy light in his body began to accelerate.

Fortunately, Rhodes' control over the holy light energy was extremely strong, otherwise it would have been revealed in just this moment. But even so, Rhodes' originally dark pupils also showed a faint dark gold color.

At this time, the kind patriarch had turned around and left.

Rhodes, who opened his dark gold pupils, looked at his back and found that a large number of slippery and sticky tentacles like jellyfish had emerged from the patriarch's body. The huge sense of evil seemed to be real at this moment!

"Ah!"

Rhodes was suddenly startled and subconsciously took a half step back.

"What's wrong?"

Andre frowned slightly, not knowing what happened.

At this time, the old patriarch in front also slowly turned around and looked over here with concern.

At this moment, the gold in Rhodes' eyes faded, and the patriarch in front of him also turned into a normal human form.

However, Rhodes was absolutely sure that he was not wrong at that moment.

"Nothing... Let's go."

If he chose to leave at this time, it would be more suspicious.

This gathering has happened more than once or twice, so even if there is a danger, it may not happen this time.

"I am not the protagonist of a novel written by a salted fish author. I will not cause accidents and deaths wherever I go. For now, let's make the best of it."

With such a change of mind, Rhodes followed the Patriarch of the Eye of Judgment and Andre and walked into a narrow door in the church. After passing through a spiral corridor, they came to a space where a cocktail party was being held.

"Lord Rhodes, the Mysticism Research Association has gathered almost all the powerful extraordinary people in the capital. Everyone gathers here regularly to communicate. If you need anything, you can find a trader here. Barter is usually used here. Although gold coins can be used, the price of extraordinary items is often more expensive."

The layout of the cocktail party hall is like a typical aristocratic ball scene:

The wide and bright space, the long table full of food, the cleverly stacked wine glasses, the waiters carrying trays everywhere, the melodious and pleasant music and the light laughter are so leisurely and elegant.

However, if you look closely, you can find the inconsistency. Some black robes with eerie temperaments are mixed in with food and wine glasses.

And from time to time, they take out white brains, eyeballs, skulls, rotten hearts and complete baby corpses from their pockets.

Use these materials and items to exchange for the items or money you need.

At the same time, Rhodes noticed that many young and beautiful dancers were trembling slightly. Although they tried their best to immerse themselves in the world of dance, it was obviously not so easy in this environment.

"Almost inhuman!" Such a thought naturally popped up in Rhodes' mind.

At the long table at the core of the banquet, the Patriarch of the Eye of Judgment of the State Religion of the Styak Empire sat in the upper seat and was toasting with the leader of the court mages, chatting and laughing softly.

He even noticed Rhodes's sight keenly, so he raised his glass gently and gestured. The leader of the court mages, Archmage Lazar, also turned half-way and gestured to Rhodes. Rhodes had to nod slightly in response.

It didn't take long for Rhodes to find Knight Stork, the leader of the Royal Knights, among the crowd.

"Very good, all the supporters of the prince and princess are gathered here!"

The arrival of the extraordinary era and the surging demonic tide will create many extraordinary people among the people. At the same time, the upper class, which already has a large amount of social resources, will also produce a large number of extraordinary people, or they will be eliminated because they cannot master the power fast enough. Folk extraordinary people will take their place.

However, these original civilian extraordinary beings will quickly transform into upper-class extraordinary beings, and the final result will remain unchanged.

Seeing these extraordinary beings in front of him, Rhodes could only think of one word: separation. Do these big shots who identify with each other's extraordinary identities really fully support the prince and princess they support on the surface?

"Everyone has evil intentions, everyone has ulterior motives, and everyone is quietly waiting for the death of the old emperor...Does His Majesty really know nothing about this? I'm afraid he knows, but he has no choice. , because what he has to fight is time and death. This is a battle that has never been won and is almost impossible to win. "

"These extraordinary people are like this, is the Marquis Angel the same? When the old emperor dies, the power of the royal family will be greatly weakened for a moment. Although those princes and princesses are still outstanding, I am afraid they are not enough to succeed. Stabilize the situation in this chaotic situation.”
