The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

Chapter 703: The Patriarchate

For adventurers on their own, this era is really good. The arrival of elemental tides brings the dawn of a new era of change. Every day is an opportunity, every day is a new change...

Well, I mean, as long as your fists are hard or your brain is good enough to earn more chances of gaining fame, and money and honor not only represent wealth, but can also buy strength and status, Cold Gate becomes a luxury family, some of the non-selling products that you didn't dare to think about ten years ago, but now become clearly marked goods.

“Recruitment, conscription, wanted, conscription, rewards… What a mess these days. ”

In front of us is an open bulletin board filled with reward assignments and announcements of all kinds, but if compared to the past, it is also noticeable from various conscription ads.

I thought this was a war period and a stranger would be in trouble in a new city state. After all, rape, spying and all that, I expected the tests to be rigorous, but I didn't expect it to go smoothly.

In addition to the tighter scrutiny of traders and the crazy rise in taxes, those set up gates have opened the door to weapons adventurers, knights and even to displaced persons, who have been perceived as disasters in the past.

Reason? I was a little strange before, but when I saw these excellent recruitment announcements, I instantly realized that, in a sense, population was an important resource, especially in the current turmoil, and who would stop precious resources from flowing into their own territory.

Although it is a conscription announcement, in practice it is not the Kingdom that is conscripting, the merchant travelers are recruiting long-term bodyguards, the mercenary regiment is recruiting mercenaries, the Kingdom is conscripting, the lords are conscripting, even the mayors and village chiefs are conscripting militias.

The world is unsafe, but first the people are confused, let alone the aristocrats and wealthy merchants who are spending money to buy peace of mind, the lords are spending all their money in the castle, desperately collecting leaders, kingdoms and empires are forming various kinds of knights and mercenaries, autonomous leaders and slightly more remote villages are forming militia self-defense groups and so on.

In taverns and newspapers, front-line imagery was repeatedly broadcast with the help of memory crystals, the strength of the front-line, the powerlessness and despair of other human kingdoms before the tide of the demons, plunged the rear into a period of insane preparation, while a newly opened battlefield threw those forces into an infinite battlefield.

And as jihad progresses, the war potential of the entire human race will be tapped. Now, it's just the beginning...

I came all the way here to ask for news, but there was news on all fronts that could interest me, but I didn't.

“Aren't you going to get involved? If you enter the battlefield like this, you can change the outcome in an instant. ”

Turning around and getting the war paper from the leprechauns, Heroise was very interested in giving his opinion.

“Meaningless, too much. ”

Yes, too many, as the tide of elements became active, those harmless wild beasts began to beast, sealed monsters, evil gods broke the seal one by one, foreign invaders one by one, the Knights of the Kingdom had heterogeneous invaders to deal with, the lords had to clean up those increasingly rampant warcraft, even militia militia militias, also to fight with warcraft, cults, bandits.

It is a test of jihad for the race of mankind as the Lord of the earth, the triumph of the individual and of a region, meaningless.

But because of the Justice Points and the existence of the Contract Warrior System, and the previous good overall situation, the momentum has been much better than “history”.

I don't know how many battlefields I've crossed along the way, not because I don't want to, but because I can't handle it at all. In another sense, these battlefields are grinding and opportunities for ordinary people. With the help of justice points, their growth rate is worth looking forward to...

“Hey, if Dragon Scale Armor is fixed, I won't have to wear it so clumsy. ”

At this time, I was dressed in a thick golden half-body armor, with a magical golden sword, disguised as a “normal” high-ranking knight.

Seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers, wearing “top” equipment and good martial arts, deliberately worn old family badges and armor equipment, are too common in this great age of adventure to reap any gains.

If there's anything special about it, it's probably not a tall horse riding, but a freshman riding after a demonic civilization - a steel bike, which isn't just expensive.

It's not that I don't want to keep a low profile, this thing has helped me attract a dozen bandits along the way, but I sometimes lose riding myself and throw live horses in that death place for a long time.

But the advantage of this stuff is that you don't have to worry about tired horses at all as long as you have enough magic to supply them.

Now the happiest part is that after I've scored all the justice points, I've finally matched my true age with my appearance, and I don't have to wear that fraudulent age bracelet anymore.

And disturbingly, although the physical age has gone up, the dragon armor still shows no signs of restoration, and it seems that the means of forcibly recovering with age fruit is empty.

No, in order to increase my defensive capability, I have to apply a layer of brass coating to the fine gold heavy armor, disguise it as ordinary bronze armor, and put it over my body.

“People are painting fine gold to show their natural power and wealth, but you are painting sour brass to the point of falling home...”

“No, the sword doesn't have long vision, safety comes first, and if it is clear that the fine gold heavy armor, humans can't wear it at all. ”

Without that knife gun, the light and convenient Dragon Scale Armor, as a “knight” who relies mainly on melee, I can only use ordinary defensive armor, and since it increases defensive capability, I naturally took the hardest and most expensive fine gold heavy armor.

The hardness brought about by the high density of fine gold is trustworthy, at least as you cross a few small battlefields along the way, let alone flow arrows and guns, that is, bed crossbows and heavy artillery are not punched through.

And the only downside is that the whole fine gold heavy armor has long exceeded the limits of normal human power. My Dawn War Memorial Edition of Jingjin 59 (Iron Horse), also some can not bear the weight of this armor, walking past, obviously shows traces of a track.

And in some places, the roads are so bad that they crush the roads and trap the iron horses in the mud.

“Is it overloaded? The road was crushed. Be careful what other lords ask you for. Take off your armor, at least in the city, like you're paranoid. ”

“… at least after this passage, paranoia is not a lie here. ”

We are now in the Stanley Church, a small country on the entire map of the world that cannot be found without careful search, but which is at the heart of the "Holy Northern Front", with the presence not only of the high cardinal bishops of the Cathedral Church, but also of several knights and angel squadrons.

I have encountered more than a dozen temporary checkpoints since entering the Church, and inspections are obviously more serious and cumbersome as long as they are from the North.

Of course, these simple checks are pointless for me, who carries a dozen “ID cards” with me, and who can paint Heroise's fragments on my face.

I chose to cross the Northern Front here, and I intend to take a look at the situation and assess the ambitions of the Holy Light God for the North, but the situation is not good along the way. Most of the inhabitants here are devout followers of the diocese, especially the high-ranking saints and lower-ranking angels who do not patrol. These forces are drawn to the warless North, and obviously the Church of the Holy See is very concerned here.

And because of my Northern accent, and the Iron Horse from the North, there were a lot more check-ups along the way than any other traveler, but I also knew the opponent's host by the way.

“Archbishop Gaboro and Archbishop Thorntu Cardinal...”

At the same time, an archbishop and an archbishop in cardinal, coupled with the fact that this is the original Patriarchate, and a regional bishop who is in charge of the town guard, three high-ranking bishops who refuse to take this place in a small country, obviously the Pope does not attach general importance to it, but I am somewhat familiar with both names.

“Jihad Eagle and Golden Shame? That's a really ironic combination. ”

Because of the importance of the Cathedral Church in human society, the cardinal episcopate in "history” is important, either for a long time, or for a hundred centuries, unheard of but a few.

And these two archbishops are two extremes.

Gaboro is not dressed in red yet, but it is a small number of strategically visioned high ecclesiastical churches at the Battlefield of San Antonio in "History”.

By the middle of the war, he had a permanent Angel Corps and the Order of the Holy Knights and Magic Legion, which became a mobile force of emergency everywhere.

And his colleague, Thorntu Red, got the legendary title, "As long as the money is enough, even the devil can trade”. As long as he gets there, the war can ignore it, the money must be enough, buying and selling military work is the norm, and trading directly with the enemy to sell his men makes him the only one in history.

I had a bit of a contradiction, I was going to try and get the color of the person in charge here, but now I feel a little sorry for killing Gaboro, but keeping him is a threat to the North, and killing Soentu feels like some kind of foe.

“Keep Thorntoe, there's this guy in there, and even if the Northern Front really blockades, you can spend money buying roads from him. ”

Deathworms are annoying, but if they're on the enemy's side, it's not necessarily a good thing.

Now that Jihad is still in its infancy, the bishops have not yet undergone a "trial”, and the essence of Thorntu has not yet been revealed, he, as an expert in internal affairs, is probably also the current substantive leader of the Patriarchate.

If there is no major change, he should stay here forever, then I should even find a way to get him some "performance” and hold his ground.

As for Gaboro...

“Keep it, too. No, he's one of the few sober people in the upper ecclesiastical hierarchy. Maybe I can talk to him. ”
