Iron Mountain County.
In the plain among the mountains, in the castle of Viscount Walter, the Viscount had not eaten properly for several days.
"Why did that damn missionary appear in my territory? Why did he dare to spread Dawn Doctrine in Iron Mountain County?!!!"
"Baron Freeman, I also heard that you had communication with that missionary. Why didn't you kill him?"
Viscount Walter exploded his anger on Baron Freeman, who had just arrived today. We are all nobles, but at this moment, they looked like they were tearing apart.
"Viscount Walter, please don't slander me. I just want to ask him to leave my territory."
"I am a noble of the empire and will not allow any the Church personnel to appear in my land."
"Then you let him come to my territory?"
"I just told him that no one in my territory would believe the Church, and he left. How do I know where he will go?"
"Okay, okay, now let's think of a way to deal with this missionary."
Next to him, Baron stood up and said something like a good old man.
"There is a letter from Baron Ryan saying that the missionaries from the Church have been here for a long time, and a priest has already died on the land of the empire."
"Obviously, they are not targeting us, but Lord Marquis."
"The war between the empire and the Church has spread to our territory. If it cannot be resolved, Count Weiss's fate... we will not be much better than him."
"Then what should we do? How about... kill him."
Viscount Walter suggested, with murderous intent in his eyes. He had a few connections with South and knew that the conflict between the empire and the Church was unimaginable. They could see the war on the surface, but secretly, more than one Legendary died.
"Can't kill."
"We are just little nobles. We can't let the Church set his sights on us. It would be great if we could know about him earlier. If we kill him on the way here, there won't be so many troubles."
"But now we cannot afford to fall into the center of the war between the Church and the Empire, so we must move."
"How about... let him go to Zero Crossing Prefecture?"
"No!"
The proposal was interrupted by the nobles just as it started. Only then did Viscount Walter remember that Iron Mountain County, Frozen Earth Territory, and Zero Crossing Prefecture had already had a lot of economic transactions, and some nobles had even begun to marry.
These things were not high-profile, but they put the nobles of the two counties in a honeymoon period.
During this time, he has felt that what he said in Iron Mountain County is no longer so effective.
"Why don't we rush to that viscount's territory."
"Orcs went south, and Cold Mountain City County hasn't recovered yet."
"..."
Viscount Landa is no longer as strong as it once was. The nobles pity his plight, but after so long, the Viscount's weakness has made them dare to show their fangs.
"That's okay. Since the Viscount is already so pitiful, let him be even more pitiful."
When the nobles were discussing what to do, they were on the edge of Viscount Walter's Domain, Mountain Road Continent.
There won't be many people passing by here, but everyone who passes by will be stopped by missionary Priest Sico.
"The glory of Dawn will never die in any darkness. The awakening of our Lord is destined to overcome the coldness of Dispel Northlands, filling the earth with warmth and allowing countless ears of wheat to grow in the farmland..."
There are already two or three believers standing beside the missionary. He has done nothing, and the people he meets are only in their twenties and thirties, but one-tenth of them have become the Church believers.
This is how scary the Church is.
And today, Priest Sico will release Divine Art. He will use Healing Art to heal the injuries in these people's bodies, and Clarity Art Dispel their fatigue. Although it is not as good as the Church's dedicated priest, it still makes the eyes of believers extremely pious.
"The glory of our Lord shines every morning, and the glory of Dawn belongs to every His believer."
After the missionary finished speaking, he looked at the few civilians next to him who were attracted by Miracle. They were originally going to collect firewood in the mountains today, but they couldn't help but stop at this moment.
They didn't want to come, because the noble lord had already said that no one was allowed to approach the missionaries outside, but when he said this, the noble lord did not cancel the firewood they were going to hand over.
Therefore, they can only go out to work.
"Father, I... my father is injured. Can he get better?"
A young man bravely came here and asked softly.
Priest Sico's eyes are gentle, full of kindness and kindness.
"The brilliance of Dawn shines on every citizen, and all His believers can enjoy the healing of Dawn."
"Every morning, you will be tired and hungry Dispel born in the dark night."
"But you are not yet a believer in our Lord, but my Lord is merciful and has sent me here to heal the broken bones of your father."
His eyes followed the swarthy young man. The arms of the pale middle-aged man were fixed by wooden boards, and a rattan was hanging around his neck.
"A very good idea."
The middle-aged man came over respectfully and said:
"This is the method given to us by Lord Ryan when Zero Crossing Prefecture arrived last year. Because of this method, the wounded in the army at that time can now work in the fields."
"He is a great nobleman."
The middle-aged man said with longing and respect.
Sico couldn't help but frown when he heard the great words, but when he heard Ryan's name, he smiled happily.
"Only a devout follower of our Lord can possess such kindness and wisdom."
Priest Sico takes action, Healing Art Radiance falls. He is not a priest who specializes in Healing Art. If he wants to heal a broken hand bone, it will take a lot of money.
Fully half an hour later, after the middle-aged man couldn't stop itching and trembled all over, Sico breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Okay, don't swing this arm in the past few days, your hand has been healed by my Lord's Dawn."
"Praise my Lord."
"Praise..."
Several farmers wanted to say something excitedly, but the next moment, their pupils shrank like needle-point wheat.
"Little..."
After all, the words could not be spoken. Just when Priest Sico released Healing Art and the divine power in his body was rotating, the rapier that shot out of the shadows had pierced his head.
There was no sound, no killing intent, and no emotion at all. The Catfolk assassin emerged from the shadows like a stone without a heartbeat, using all his strength and extraordinary power to thrust out the rapier.
He found an opportunity, and stabbed out the sword without causing any changes in light and shadow, then withdrew the rapier and fled without looking back.
What is an assassin? They only ever have one chance, and that's to be an assassin.
If you succeed, you live; if you fail, you die.
Every shot was perfectly timed, and every assassination was flawless.
Therefore, the Catfolk assassin does not need to look back to observe the target. He does not need to look at anything, he only needs to run away desperately.
Because if he succeeds, no one here can catch up with him. If he fails, he will die under the Church missionary's Divine Art.
He will use his own life and death to judge whether this mission goes smoothly.
However, Priest Sico didn't know who killed him from behind in the end.
When he was dying, the only thing he could react was.
"This is the power to kill Father Buffett..."
