The caveman scout lay on the branch of the tree and looked at the direction of the town for a long time before he came down from the tree and said to the people:
"I didn''t find anything unusual, but I felt a little uneasy, which was different from the last time I came here..."
Hearing what he said, Captain Gerson turned to look at the darkening sky and said:
"Since you and reverend Renault say so, we''d better not go into town tonight. We''ll find out when it''s dawn tomorrow."
"I''m sorry, Reverend Renault. We may be camping tonight."
The captain''s choice is a little counseling, but it''s understandable. It''s undoubtedly a very unprovoked move to enter a dangerous town at night.
Renault didn''t mind. Before he moved to the city of innocence, he and the old bishop often slept in the open air and lived a life like a bitter monk. Sleeping in the open air was no pressure for him, and even a little nostalgia.
The mercenaries were really professional and well prepared. Although they had only one day''s trip, they still brought a tent. The captain immediately found a suitable place to settle in the woods beside the road, set up a tent, went nearby to find dry firewood and lit a campfire.
"When I came here last month, I was safe and sound... What do you think will happen in this town?"
The wizard asked uneasily.
"Maybe he suddenly believed in a cult?"
Aunt shanla replied that the biggest possibility of a sudden situation in such a stable remote town is the spread of cults. They have met such dangers several times before, such as being besieged by cults in the whole village or being chased and killed by cult apostles.
But Renault said in a very positive tone:
"No, there is no smell of cults."
The mercenaries couldn''t help wondering. It''s still several kilometers away from the town. Can you be sure it has nothing to do with the cult?
But no one questioned Renault''s judgment, and captain Gerson said:
"When it''s dawn tomorrow, go in and have a look."
"This time with Reverend Renault, even if we encounter evil believers, we should be able to retreat."
Most mercenaries have been attacked by cults when performing various commissions. They can only run most of the time. When they turn back, they have to go to the church to find priests to help treat their injuries and check whether they are cursed or not.
Therefore, it would be reassuring to bring a priest in the team, not to mention a highly skilled priest.
Renault didn''t answer, but made an excuse to urinate. He went to the depths of the woods and launched insight magic, which brightened his eyes and looked towards York town.
At this time, York town in his eyes was covered with a light gray, which was a little similar to the smell of dead creatures, but there were some differences. It was a situation he had never seen.
If you want to know what happened, you can only go in and have a look.
So he hid in the woods and threw some magic skills towards the camp from a distance: calming God.
This is the simplest and most basic divination, which has not even been specifically classified. It is also the first divination learned by many priests. The specific effect is to relax people''s spirit.
This is generally used to appease others. Normally, when someone enters the church, the priest should calm down when he meets, so that people can be emotionally stable, relaxed and happy, and lie about what blessing and shelter this is, so as to make people feel good about the church.
However, Renault rarely operates like this, not because he is lazy, but because he has a heavy hand. If he calms his mind once, it can often make people drowsy. If he does it twice, it will be similar to the mage''s hypnosis.
So when we need to use calming god later, it is often the old bishop
At present, Renault lost several peace gods to the camp, and the mercenaries slept like dead pigs on the spot
"I''ll go to the town. You''re right here. Don''t walk around."
Renault commanded Ameya, looked down at the snoring mercenaries and added:
"Look after them by the way. Don''t let them run around or be taken away by wolves..."
Then he turned and walked towards the town.
Of course, he won''t wait until the day to act with the mercenaries. That would be very troublesome. It''s much easier to be alone.
After he walked away, Ameya, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly moved, found some strong hemp ropes from the horses nearby and walked to the mercenaries sleeping soundly
It was only half way to Renault, when it was completely dark, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, making it very cold.
Renault thought and spread out his left hand. A white flame lit up in the palm of his hand, illuminating the road ahead and warming the surroundings.
As the main weapon of the clergy, the holy flame has more than one purpose. In fact, there are many divinities related to the holy flame, and the level is different. For example, Renault currently uses the most basic fourth order holy flame: holy flame.
In theory, the fourth order holy flame does not have lethality. It can only play auxiliary effects such as dispelling witchcraft and purifying curse, at least when used by normal clergy.
There are also five levels of the flame of protection and punishment; The sixth order flame of cleansing sin, the flame of judgment and so on. Renault usually likes to use the fifth order flame. It is easy to start, more convenient than the sixth order, and its power is not much weaker.
Just now, if only lighting and heating are needed, the fourth level is enough. If the fifth level is used, the holy smell will be stronger, which may startle the enemy and scare them away.
Renault walked for more than ten minutes and arrived at York town. It was very quiet all the way. He didn''t even hear the sound of insects.
A wall against wild animals was built on the outskirts of York town. At the door stood two guards in leather armor and armed with earth spears.
When they saw Renault coming, their eyes immediately focused on him and stared at him. They didn''t blink, but they didn''t say a word. Only the corners of their mouths tilted slightly and showed a strange smile.
"Hello, I''m a passing priest from the Maiya sect."
Renault offered to say hello.
The two guards still didn''t speak, but looked at him silently.
"Is your mayor there?"
Renault continued.
The two guards stretched out their hands together and pointed in a certain direction as an answer.
"Thank you."
Renault said politely, crossed them and walked to the town.
The guard didn''t stop and stood still. Only his eyes were still fixed on Renault and twisted his head with his movement.
When Renault came behind them, their heads had rotated 180 degrees, and their faces maintained that strange smile
