Chapter 1418 1390. Two versions
Is Eternal Fire Church big?
It is very large, and can almost be said to be the most widely spread faith in the north besides the ritelli faith.
And unlike the ritelli faith, which broadly emphasizes maternal love, Eternal Fire has actually ford a church with strong control and execution capabilities as an organizational structure.
In fact, any religious concept, even if it is governed by inaction, once the organizational structure is established and spreads on such a large scale, then this religion cannot be just a religion.
The nature of organizations naturally tends to wield greater power and power.
So until now, the loose and broad riteli faith is still a faith of maternal love.
But the eternal fire that built the organizational structure beca increasingly radical and exclusive.
And because of this radicalness and xenophobia, it has developed more rapidly at the organizational level.
But it is precisely because of this radicalness and xenophobia that it is impossible for them to obtain detailed information about the witcher.
Because this undoubtedly goes against their overall organizational style in recent years.
Things always have pros and cons. Eternal Fire's style allows them to expand quickly, but it also prevents them from adjusting their attitude flexibly.
What would an extre believer think, knowing that you were seeking knowledge about witchers?
Doesn’t the Church actually believe in the power of the eternal fire as divine and supre guidance?
And those warlocks and demon hunters who are themselves mbers of the Church of Eternal Fire fighting against hatred, how dare they go to the Church to seek cooperation? Reveal the news?
Of course, with the current stall of the Church of Eternal Fire being so large, there must be people inside who are studying demon hunters or even other mystical sciences.
But it is definitely impossible to bring this matter to the table, and it is also impossible to put it into cooperation with the Knights of the White Rose.
Although the Knights of the White Rose's belief in the Eternal Fla has beco common practice, they are still an ard organization outside the church and an outsider.
There is indispensable competition for power and profit within the church, so how can outsiders get such great trust?
Therefore, the Eternal Fire and the Knights of the White Rose are unlikely to be the source of the information about the demon hunter's body.
But now, even Seeward is not involved in this. So where did these news and knowledge co from?
And this teleportation circle.
Lan En turned his head and looked at the collapse of the wall he had just smashed.
A corner of the magic circle subrged in the blood was revealed in his field of vision.
From Lan En's point of view, this is a magic circle with a 'notification positioning' function.
In other words, if the recipient of the notification is not a warlock capable of opening portals, this thing is completely useless.
The Knights of the White Rose have a not-so-bad warlock friend, or at least a collaborator with interests.
But who could it be?
On the hilltop outside the castle where the Knights of the White Rose resided, a man wearing the armor of the Knights with a small blooming coat of arms of the White Rose hanging on his heart waved his hand.
He had a brown beard and looked to be about forty years old. These beards are connected to the short brown hair on the sides of the cheeks. The Chinese character face has a dignified and serious temperant.
It is not inappropriate for such a face to appear on the facade of the White Rose Knights.
Jaques of Edelsburg is indeed the most famous figure in the Knights of the White Rose. A strong candidate for the position of leader.
And as he waved his hand, the regular chaos magic light suddenly scattered, and finally disappeared into the night.
It is extrely ironic that the knights of the Knights of the White Rose have the radiance of chaotic magic in their hands.
But the knight himself didn't feel anything at all.
"The portal failed."
He looked at his hands not surprised.
The hand that failed to cast the spell was unscathed, because he put all the cost and damage of the failed portal on the people inside the portal.
"Of course, of course it will fail."
He said without any surprise either.
The Chinese-character face that looked serious and righteous looked towards the resident castle, as if he had completely seen what was happening inside.
The first requirent for a military organization's location is that the interior cannot be directly observed from the outside, preventing anyone from being able to see at a glance the number of personnel, distribution of warehouses, patrol routes and other information inside.
Therefore, when camping outside, you usually choose the highest terrain around you. You can observe others from a high position, but once the wall is erected, people outside cannot see inside.
The castle where the Knights are stationed certainly upholds this point.
But this man's sight made people doubt whether the wall could block his observation.
"[Hunter Lord], the defender of Cintra and Vergen, has always been so strong. How could a portal stop him from killing people?"
The man in his forties muttered in a deep voice, looked at the burning castle, and turned to leave.
Lan En did not set a fire, but as the castle beca more and more chaotic and more and more people woke up from their sleep, more and more torches were lit.
"But it just so happens that we originally planned to let these **** die in the portal." "In this way, the purge within the Knights will be completed."
While wearing a full set of plate armor, he walked steadily and easily on the mountain road, while casually removing the small white rose emblem hanging on the heart of the armor.
Jaques nonchalantly threw the small coat of arms, which symbolized the identity and honor of the Knights, into the grass on the hill and disappeared.
But the paranoid fla in this man's eyes almost burst into flas!
"The corrupt and powerless white rose has been eliminated. Next, it will beco a burning fla rose!"
—
Lan En noticed that there seed to be soone else involved in the White Rose Knights' operation.
But there are too few clues left in this place. There are no traces of letters or docunts.
Lan En suspected that the connection between the Knights of the White Rose and the hidden guy was probably entirely through word of mouth.
And the knight leader Rudolf himself was turned into a literal puddle.
In addition, the date of the eting on Xianide Island is very close, and there is really no ti to conduct in-depth investigation.
So Lan En could only frown, put this matter aside for the ti being, and prepare to go to Gos Velen according to the schedule previously agreed with Geralt and the others.
However, before leaving this castle that was in complete chaos, Lan had a 'cordial' conversation with the dwarf captain of the guard.
Dwarves do have stubborn tempers, but fortunately, the dwarves in the Magical Middle Ages are not as bad as the dwarves in the world of Arda.
Although there is no major conflict between us, as long as you want to force , I will not hesitate to hold a knife to your neck.
Before Lan En took a crossbow arrow that blocked the magic golden arrow and gently 'placed' it into the rock block of the wall of the secret room with a relaxed gesture that was almost like tapping his fingers -
"I have never admitted who I am, Captain Krar. Capturing this castle and killing all the White Rose Knights inside was all due to the concerted efforts and skill of our group."
"I didn't see your face clearly, but you didn't even use any curse words in your words, and you still made believe that you were a bandit? What nonsense are you talking about? Anyway, I am Prince Siward's captain of the guard, so I can say whatever I see. , no making up, no lying.”
And after that—
"That's it. Now, tell again what you saw, Your Excellency, Captain of the Guard?"
Faced with Lan En's soft-spoken and even very polite inquiry, Lord Dennis Krar first looked at the arrowhead that was pushed into the rock, and then at the shadow under the hood.
The dwarf's stubborn and cold face was very calm.
"I saw Rudolph and the others rushing to enter a portal to escape, but the wall suddenly collapsed, and a crossbow arrow with a blue arrow was inserted into the wall. Then the portal suddenly beca unstable and collapsed."
"And since I ca here on the order of Prince Seeward, I have been staying at the top and haven't had a chance to look down, so I didn't see what happened down there."
All truth, no lies.
When the portal was opened, a magic-blocking golden crossbow arrow flew by and caused the portal to collapse. This is completely logical and realistic.
So after a friendly nod, Lan turned around and left the castle.
Dennis Krar watched the unusually tall figure gradually go away, until he disappeared into the stairwell, he remained expressionless.
It wasn't until two minutes later that a crack appeared in his beard, which was already caked with vomit.
"call!"
He let out a long breath, and at the sa ti, a layer of white sweat erged from the skin on his forehead, back, and neck almost instantly.
The dwarf gritted his teeth, as if he had just finished an exhausting battle.
He looked up again at the stairwell where Lan En walked down, with a complicated look on his face.
He would still report what he saw to Duke Seeward of Elland exactly as it was, because this was his duty, and he was by no ans a person who would neglect his duties.
And not only did he know about this, Lan En also knew about it.
Even they both knew at the sa ti: Even if the news was told to Seeward in its entirety, he would definitely use Dennis Krar's later statent to make public announcents.
The current situation is different from the past.
Siward is the Duke of the Principality in Teria, and the dwarves working around him are even more aware of this. A storm is coming!
But at this juncture, it doesn't matter that the knights were killed by that [Hunter Lord].
The most important thing is to confirm that [Hunter Lord] still stands with the north, not Nilfgaard.
The second most important thing is who is involved behind this operation of the Knights of the White Rose, and who was instigated or controlled by them to do such a thing.
Are there more knights who have been instigated and controlled, but they are not taking action now and are only waiting for a more critical mont to take action?
The survival of this knight order itself is even ranked third in importance.
Dennis Krar and Lane also knew that Seaward would still tell the truth when reporting to Foltest. But when the King of Teria announced the results of the investigation, he would still use the second statent.
