The first snow of early winter has just ended.

The black carriage sped along the smooth road, bringing with it a piece of white snow. The frost on the evergreen leaves on both sides of the street also danced, as if these originally green trees had been replaced by green leaves overnight.

Winter clothing.

At the moment, Glowa is relatively quiet. Due to the heavy snow and the frozen lake, they are unable to go fishing for the time being. Most of them stay at home or whisper in the tavern. Of course, the focus of their discussion is not

It is nothing more than the eternal night that happened in the Western Wilderness. No one knows what it is about. It is rumored that the lords of the surrounding areas have sent scouts to the Western Wilderness more than once to check, but most of those scouts have disappeared.

The remaining ones who were able to come back have basically turned into lunatics and inarticulate fools who attack everyone on sight.

No one knows what happened in the Western Wilderness. Some people say that an evil wizard is trying to conquer the entire wilderness. Some people say that this is a harbinger of the destruction of the world. Some people think that someone summoned a demon in the wilderness, and now it has become a terrifying place.

Hell. But no matter what, there is no good news in this.

This is not a good thing for the residents of Growa. The town makes a living by fishing, and most of their business comes from the surrounding area, leaving the rest in the Westfall. If something really goes wrong in the Westfall,

Then their livelihood will also be affected. In fact, some people are already considering whether to move their families and leave this place.

This is what Zhan saw from the carriage, a quiet but slightly decadent town.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the temple in the center of the town. Its appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people. For no other reason than this was the first carriage to appear in front of the temple since the beginning of winter.

At that time, many residents were curious about it. After all, just from the appearance, this was definitely not something that ordinary people could own. Whether it was the magic lantern hanging outside the carriage or the mighty and majestic war horse used to pull the carriage.

, and luxurious carriages are definitely not something ordinary people can have. Even the mayor of Growa probably does not have such good things.

Which big shot is it?

At this moment, the guards stationed in front of the temple gate obviously noticed the carriage and hurriedly came forward. Then, the door opened and a girl wearing a blue dress and a white skirt stepped out of the carriage. She had beautiful hair.

She had long blond hair and a big white bow tied on top of her head. She looked beautiful and cute. The girl smiled softly at the two guards, then turned around and made a gesture of invitation.

"grown ups."

Following Alice's call, Zhan slowly stepped out of the carriage. He squinted his eyes, stared at the temple in front of him, and then took a breath of fresh and cold air. It is already early winter, strictly speaking, this time is not

Suitable for any action. Even experienced adventurers would not choose to venture out during this season. After all, the cold itself is enough to weaken their combat effectiveness, not to mention that in this season, it is also difficult to obtain food through hunting.

It's quite a difficult thing. But Zhan knows that those old-fashioned paladins won't care about this little trouble. They will only consider it a "trial".

In fact, if possible, Zhan hopes that the Templar Order can delay entering the Western Wilderness until next spring. By that time, he will have controlled the entire wilderness. Not to mention a few hundred paladins, it is the Templar Order.

He is not afraid of mobilizing the three legions of the Holy Crusaders. But now......

Let's take a step at a time.

Thinking of this, Zhan turned his body to get out of the way. Soon, in his eyes, Tinidell slowly walked out of the carriage.

The princess of the dark elf was still wearing her wide, pitch-black cloak as always, completely wrapping her body under the cloak. She looked like a wealthy daughter traveling abroad. At this moment, she stepped out of the carriage,

He tilted his head curiously and glanced at the temple in front of him, but he didn't say anything and just followed Zhan quietly.

Choosing Tinidel and Alice as followers was a choice Zhan made after careful consideration. Zhan was not worried about those Chaos monsters, but he was worried about those Paladins. Just in case, he needed a strong

The thug helps him. If something bad happens, he can eliminate these troubles in the shortest time. If Patilina doesn't consider it, then the only one left is Tinidell. Not to mention that as the princess of the dark elf,

The master of the dark elements, in the darkness under the eternal night sky, Tinidell can be said to be like a fish in water, able to exert the most powerful power. With her by his side, Zhan En feels much more at ease.

As for Alice, she is here to serve Zhan. After all, the journey is long, and someone always needs to make tea and water. As a noble, Zhan is definitely not lagging behind others in terms of enjoyment. In this regard,

He also has the same bad habits as other aristocratic children, but Zhan En doesn't think there is anything wrong with having clothes on his hands, food in his hands, and mouth to open his mouth. Isn't this the kind of enjoyment that many people look forward to their entire lives?

"Excuse me, are you..."

Looking at the behavior of Zhan En and Tinidel, the guards seemed a little nervous. After all, it can be seen from the two people's attire that they are definitely not ordinary people. Their luxurious clothes and behavior have already shown their backgrounds.

, it seems that they should be after the nobles. However, the guards could not figure out why these two people came to a small place like Glowa. You must know that in order to prepare for the sacred gathering, the temple had been completely closed and outsiders were strictly prohibited from entering.

Hearing the guard's inquiry, Zhan En glanced at them, then snapped his fingers. Soon, Alice next to him walked forward with a smile and presented an invitation letter. The guard took the invitation letter, opened it and read a few times.

Eyes, then they immediately looked solemn, and then immediately stood at attention and saluted Zhan and Tinidel in front of them.

"Welcome to the Temple of Growa, Sir Bashanonmens, please follow me!"

Hearing what the guard said, Zhan En nodded, and then they walked towards the temple under the leadership of the guard.

"Who is that?"

Watching Zhan and others walking into the temple and standing on the open-air balcony. The black-haired paladin frowned and then asked.

"Isn't the temple closed? Why are outsiders allowed to come in and out at will? What are those nobles doing here?"

"That should be a decorated noble."

Hearing what he said, a middle-aged priest standing next to the paladin chuckled and said.

"This time the Holy Church has summoned a lot of people. I heard that they have indeed summoned those honored nobles to act with us at the same time. It seems that the young man is one of them."

"What a nonsense."

In response to this answer, the black-haired paladin snorted coldly.

"These honorary nobles are all speculators. I have always disapproved of the treatment of them by the Holy Church. This will only lower the evaluation of our Holy Church in front of the world. Moreover, those nobles are not originally just homeless people.

, don’t understand what education is at all. Their presence will only bring a black eye to the church’s face.”

Hearing the black-haired paladin's complaint, the middle-aged priest just shook his head and said nothing. Regarding the awarding of nobles, there are actually two voices within the Holy Church. Many people think that this "unconventional" awarding of honors is just

It will destroy the majesty of the Templar Order, and they are quite disgusted with the use of power to taint the doctrine, and they don't even have much favorable impressions of the decorated nobles. This situation is especially common among the Paladins, because the Holy Knights

Knights have devout beliefs and firm convictions, and they are more disdainful than others of selfish people who use their merits to obtain benefits.

It's just that the general decorated nobles don't have much dealings with the Holy Church. If it weren't for this recruitment of the Holy Church, I'm afraid they would never meet once in their lives. Thinking of this, the middle-aged priest couldn't help but shake.

Shaking his head, of course he knew that the Holy Church had its own considerations in choosing to recruit those honored nobles. But he always felt that this approach was too unconsidered, but as a mid-level priest, he obviously had nothing to do in this regard.

right to speak.

Zhan didn't know what the current situation was in the temple, but when he walked into the atrium of the temple under the leadership of the guards, he could feel that the looks from the paladins were not friendly, and most of them were cold and indifferent.

Some of them were even mixed with hostility. But Zhan was not surprised by this. He also knew the status of the decorated nobles in the Templar Order. He was not even interested in responding to this boring display of hostility.

After taking Zhan En to the atrium of the temple, the guards said goodbye and left. It was only then that Zhan En was in the mood to observe everything around him.

There are not many people in the atrium of the entire temple. There are dozens of paladins with golden tassels on their chests. You can be sure that these are paladins from all over the world. In addition to them, there are priests wearing red and white robes.

Bishops, most of them are men, and a few are women, but they are basically not young. This is no wonder, because the Holy Church this time requires high-level clergy, unless those young people are extremely talented.

A person favored by God, otherwise there is absolutely no way he would be qualified to join this investigation team.

To take a step back, if there is such a young and promising person favored by the gods, it is still a question whether the temple where he lives will let him die.

In addition, Zhan also saw several elves. Most of them were dressed as rangers, and of course there were a few wearing mage robes. These elves were self-contained and separated from other people. Apart from them, there were other people.

In a corner, a group of mages were closing their eyes and meditating. Judging from the star and moon marks on their robes, these should be members of the Star and Moon Tower Mages Association.

It can be said that every force in the entire atrium now has its own faction. The paladins and priests gathered together, while the elves stood aside and watched, and the mages closed their eyes in the corner to rest. I have to admit that this time, the Templar Church

The group is indeed a big deal, not only summoning high-level clerics, but also high-level mages from the Mage Association. Even the elves who are usually too lazy to run out of the forest are also involved. It seems that the Holy Temple this time

I really plan to play something big.

But what caught Zhan En’s attention the most was the group of people standing in the side corridor of the atrium. Most of them were dressed in different styles. Some were wearing noble attire, while others were wearing adventurer leather armor and armor. Compared with the other three parties, here

It seemed a little lonely, like a small group that had been excluded.

But Zhan has already guessed their identities - if his guess is correct, then these people should be decorated nobles.
Chapter completed!
