Chapter 4: Chariot climbing techniques (1)
——The cottage built outside the cave, and the most familiar rooms.
Looking at the familiar things in front of him, Noble felt a little confused. The sea, army, streams, cemeteries, and everything I experienced last night was like a dream.
A few quick knocks on the table came, bringing him back to reality briefly. Gregory was sitting in front of him, holding paper in one hand and pen in the other. There was an oil lamp on the seat, the one that Gregory used last night.
"You just said that you were the ones who attacked Siegen, right?"
"Yes... large-scale attacks like this were all instructed by Duke Otto."
"What do you usually do in an attack?"
"It depends on what Duke Otto wants. If he just wants the people in this village to burst into blood, then we will only go out of the village, scaring the villagers to seek the protection of Duke Otto; if he wants the land in the village to turn it into his real estate, then we will loot the village so that Duke Otto can buy land from bankrupt villagers at a low price; if he still wants serfs, then fewer people will die..."
"Okay, I understand." Gregory interrupted Norbert and continued to ask, "What after Sigen? Where did the Duke of Otto instruct you to attack?"
"Then the messenger came last night..."
Gregory nodded, folded the paper full of words and put it into his pocket.
"That..." Noblet stopped talking.
"What do you want to say?"
"There are many brothers on the mountain, and I only have one person... Everyone went up the mountain because of their livelihood. If I ask everyone to let go of the guy and go home..."
Nobit's words were hesitant. Gregory took over the conversation: "...There is a high probability that you will be removed by others, and then the remaining people will continue to be robbers in the mountains?"
Nobel nodded.
"Don't worry, you don't have to do anything for the time being. When the time is right, I will give you a chance to change your appearance."
Gregory stood up and threw down the words, and walked out of the room.
"Wait, wait a little longer!" Nobit chased after him.
So Gregory turned around and asked, "What, is there anything else?"
"Are you a monk from the Orthodox Church of Abraham?"
"Yes, you can find me in the church in Cologne."
"Cologne? Isn't that the center of the church in the Commonwealth of Armani? Is your Abraham Orthodox Church want to go to war with Duke Otto?"
"perhaps."
"Will Otto die? Or can he be redeemed?"
"If he had the will of repentance, then God would naturally forgive his sins, but that was the matter of the last judgment. Before that, he would be punished by the law of the earth - but this punishment is not what I should intervene."
After saying that, Gregory walked back to the cave where they were imprisoned.
"Get up." He clapped his hands to wake Gottfried and Ella who were sleeping.
Gottfried wiped his eyes and saw Gregory outside the cage jumping up suddenly; "Why are you out?"
"Of course, because we can leave."
"Well? Get the ransom so soon?" Ella was thinking about the number of things and responded absent-mindedly.
"So, Gottfried, how should you calculate the money?" Gregory walked up to Gottfried, "Then you said before, your answers yesterday meant nothing."
Although this was completely said to Gottfried, Ella shuddered and the soul returned:
"Gu... I have to pay back, is it? In the first place! One hundred Normysmas per person, but you have increased your price by yourself, I don't agree! Just as I said at the beginning, three Normysmas per person, a total of three hundred Normysmas, a total of nine hundred Normysmas, I only pay one third, three hundred Normysmas! No more! Oh, I will lose another three hundred Normysmas..."
Looking at Ella's appearance, Gregory shook his head with a wry smile. He chose to come here, one to test the background of Gottfried's magic, and the other to educate Norbit. As for Ella, it was entirely because he felt that the girl was not safe at night and took her with her. From this perspective, Ella was a victim. But how could these words be made clear?
"You don't have to worry about money, because this is completely the fault of the people who transferred us here."
Gregory said as he looked at Gottfried. Although the person who brought them here was Gregory, everyone except him thought it was caused by Gottfried's magic.
"Do you want to try your magic again? As long as we can bring us back to the village of Brizania, the money will be written off. Otherwise - just take me to meet your teachers?"
Gottfried was startled and tried to perform the magic again. He knelt on the ground, danced his hands and feet, buried his head between his legs, and kept shouting "e-l-s-h-a-d-d-a-i (Almighty)".
But no matter how he tried, the magic never worked. Gottfried had to come to Gregory with a sad face and asked, "Why are you so interested in our sect?"
"I am a member of the Orthodox Church of Abraham." Gregorian said without changing his expression. During the conversation last night, Gottfried probably began to doubt, and it was not necessarily a bad thing to take the initiative to admit it.
"But you also know that our members of the Orthodox Church cannot learn magic. I have always been very sorry." Gregorian changed his tone. "I heard that members of your ancient church can learn magic, so I want to join you. After all, we all believe in the same God. I chose the one who can learn magic. God probably won't blame me - as long as it is really the same God's words."
Among these three, Freavone had never seen Gregorian use magic. Ella had seen the sword in the robber's hand disappear, but she could not confirm whether it was Gregorian's magic. Moreover, she knew nothing about magic. When Gregorian said no, she was just a little surprised for a while and then passed.
"So you wanted to test whether we are genuine last night?" Gottfried thought for a while and sighed, "It's right that it's the same god, but I can't answer your questions. Well, I'll take you to see my master. He's in Dietmashen."
"Ditmashen...is a little bit far away." Gregory murmured in a low voice.
Dietmashen is near Hamburg, just like Hamburg, it is also a free city dominated by merchants. The Orthodox Church of Abraham has a church built in it, with many believers. In terms of the journey, it is actually not far from the Duke of Anglia. But Gregory did not like to walk far away with his legs.
Of course, Gregory could choose to use his magic to get there in an instant. But that means the exposure of his true identity. It is obviously not the time now.
Gregory temporarily left Gotfried and asked Ella, "Where are you going to go back next? Are you in Brizania Village?"
Ella thought for a while and said, "No, please let me go with you for the time being."
This sentence is slightly beyond Gregory's expectations. After all, for most people, they have encountered two groups of robbers one after another, so they should be in a hurry to go home.
"Is your home in Dietmashin? Or are there your friends?"
