Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 227 Saint Fatiel

A tent embroidered with countless beautiful patterns and decorated with various exquisite decorations is guarded in the center of the camp, and knights wearing plate armor and with solemn faces are patrolling around it.

They looked completely different from the soldiers wearing leather armor outside.

This shows how high the status of the people living there is.

"Miss Leah." These knights obviously knew Leah. They saluted respectfully with their chests touched. The two of them walked into the tent unhindered.

The moment he opened the tent, Levi almost thought that he was a sinful believer who had walked into the Holy Light Church, ready to be judged by the Holy Blade of the Pope. He couldn't control his emotions and blurted out a foul language: "Damn it, sir, am I walking into the lair of the Holy Light believers?"

It was really no wonder that the lord was making a fuss. It was just that the holy light in front of him was too dazzling. Everything he saw was golden light, which forced him to squint his eyes.

Unlike those tents that were illuminated by candles or braziers, this tent was filled with golden light, and only a human figure could be vaguely seen in the center of the tent.

"I'm so sorry."

A cold voice was heard, and the next moment the dazzling light disappeared in an instant.

"Because of meditation, it caused trouble for you."

"Fuck." The swear word rang out again.

The dazzling light disappeared, and there was no dozens of clergymen from the Holy Light Church in the tent, only a young girl.

The real reason why the lord lost his composure again was that the girl was wearing a red and white Holy Light Church robe, holding an exquisite staff inlaid with the magic stone, a gilded bishop's hat on her head, and an exquisite mask covering the area above the eyes, leaving only the tip of her nose and a small cherry mouth exposed.

The long golden hair braided into a braid is as dazzling as gold.

Although the girl did not reveal her entire face, the lord was sure that there was an extremely beautiful face under the mask.

At first glance, she looks as holy as an angel.

"Liya, who is this?" Levi asked quietly.

Just looking at the outfit, he is definitely a staff member of the Holy Light Church, and his status is not low!
"Levi, my name is Fatir Saint-Delisin." The girl's rosy little mouth opened and closed, and when she spoke again, her tone seemed to carry some smile.

"I often hear Leah mention you. I wrote the Holy Words for her."

Levi was startled, and calmly nudged Leah next to him with his elbow, trying to get an explanation.

"Levi, this is Her Highness the Saint of the Holy Light Church." Leah rubbed her painful arm with a look of resentment on her face. This Lord of High Cliff Castle really didn't know how to be gentle with women.

"Ahem, my dear Miss Hollya, this is really enough to make me drop my jaw." Levi was almost choked and could only use coughing to cover up his inner shock.

The assistance that Leah requested was truly shocking.

You know, His Holiness the Pope of the Holy Light Church is absolutely transcendent in terms of status. In some ways, he is not much worse than the king. The saint is usually the designated successor to the Pope, so you can imagine how high his status is.

But now, the other party comes to help me?
What's the difference between this and a princess aiding a knight?
More importantly, the other party also represents the face of the Holy Light Church, and coming to their aid is also a way of standing on the side of the Holy Light Church.

“Thank you for your “Book of the Holy Word”, which has benefited me a lot.”

The two men came before the saint and sat on chairs cushioned with red velvet. Levi was the first to speak.

"In fact, the first stage of the Holy Word Codex is not very precious. Now the Church no longer abides by those old rules. If we continue to cherish the worn-out broom as a treasure, it will only cause the Paladin lineage to completely disappear in history."

Fatih's voice was very cold, as if it contained no emotion at all, but it could inexplicably make people feel warm.

"I guess you must be wondering why I came here." She placed the staff horizontally on her knees, crossed her golden-gloved hands on the table, facing Levi.

Although the other party was wearing a mask and only his mouth and nose could be seen, Levi had an inexplicable feeling that the Saint Lady was looking at him. He nodded: "I do want to know why."

Frankly speaking, speaking from his conscience, he guessed that the help Leah sought might come from the clergy of the Holy See, or some trainee knights who had not yet been canonized.

But no one expected that the Saint of the Holy Light Church would come in person.

Although he had always thought that the stronger the aid, the better, it was now too strong, which made him feel uneasy.

"There are three reasons. First, the Holy Light Church and the North are in a sweet period. I am not here for no reason." At this point, she turned to Leah, "Second, Leah and I are good friends. As a friend, I can't just sit back and watch her go through such a terrible situation."

"What about the third one?" Levi asked.

Somehow, he felt that the third must be the most important.

"I heard that you have already practiced the "Holy Word Codex." She "looked" at the Lord, as if asking and as if confirming: "Liya once said in the letter that you have already advanced to "Firefly". According to the time calculation, it probably took no more than two months for you to obtain the codex and then advance."

"First of all, I have to correct something." The Lord smiled and raised a finger: "It actually only took me one night to advance to the Firefly level."

"Ah?" Leah was surprised and couldn't help but speak out.

"Levi, you are not kidding, right?"

It’s not that Leah didn’t trust the knight under her command, but even the most talented legendary paladin at that time, Dialloth, took a month to advance to the Firefly.

Advancing in one night seems too far-fetched.

"Do you think I would joke about such a thing?" Levi looked at the other party's shock and felt as if he had eaten a popsicle in the summer, refreshing from the soles of his feet to his scalp. He was very proud and said, "I have to say, Sir, I might be the next legendary paladin."

"Miss Leah, you have found a treasure."

Fatih could not hide his inner shock. After all, advancing to "Firefly" in one night was unprecedented in the history of the Holy Light Church. But then he could not help but sigh inwardly.

Geniuses may be treated preferentially, but being too talented to be realistic can only be a disaster.

"Levi, I have to tell you the truth. I came here because I heard from Leah that you have already reached the Firefly level, and this training speed exceeds all the paladins of the Holy Light Church. The Holy Light Church will not ignore a genius like you."

“But now you said that you advanced overnight. This speed of practice is absolutely shocking. If other people knew about it, they would probably encounter some unimaginable troubles. Although the glory of the Paladin is gone, it does not mean that the Paladin is weak. On the contrary, it is extremely powerful.

"The hostile forces of the Holy Light Church will never watch the next legendary paladin who can change the situation grow up. The first one to stand out will rot first. Do you understand?"

"That's a wooden citron. How can it rot if it's replaced with pure gold?" The Lord sneered and slammed the Holy Light Sword on the table. "Whoever wants to weigh me, come on. I'm worried that Highcliff Castle is so poor that it can't even afford to eat."

Everyone knows that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot, but Levi doesn't care. The source of his confidence is nothing more than strength. Therefore, he naturally shows his value without reservation, hoping to gain more benefits in front of the Saint of the Holy Light Church.

These words made Fatih look at the baron with a new respect. If someone else said this, it would seem that he was just a show-off but actually weak. However, this baron inexplicably had a ruthless attitude of keeping his word.

Leah, who knew a lot about the Lord of Highcliff Castle, was full of admiration and knew that the other party was not just talking.

"Levi, you don't have to worry too much. This matter is actually very easy to solve." Fatih raised the corner of his mouth slightly, finally revealing his ultimate goal: "As long as you join the Holy Light Church, someone will take care of all this, and you don't have to worry about it at all."

"So, do you plan to join the Holy Light Church?"

"Not yet." Levi shook his head.

It is undeniable that he is interested in the subsequent advancement methods of the Holy Word Book, and he is also drooling over the divine arts of the Paladin.

But all this does not prevent him from waiting for the right price. After all, a business that is not sold by others is not a business.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the saint's attitude towards him had completely changed.

"If you work hard, you can turn what you don't have into something."

"What if I say no?"

"Then the subsequent development of the 'Glorious Words of God' will definitely have nothing to do with you. The Holy Light Church may not care about the first stage being circulated outside, but it will definitely strictly control the subsequent development, not to mention the divine arts that only paladins can practice."

Fatih stuck to the point and then spoke with a smile.

"If you join the Holy Light Church and become the leader of the Paladins, I can promise you anything you want~"

"puff!"

Levi almost spit out the tea he had just drunk.

It is hard to imagine that such naked words would come out of the mouth of this extremely holy Saint. If it weren't for her appearance, Levi would almost have thought she was a seductive and lousy succubus.

"Besides, the Holy Light Church is not as rigid and ancient as you think. There are many beautiful female priests of the Holy Light in the Church. If you become a paladin of the Church, you can definitely win their hearts and start a love story that is so moving that it can be passed down by bards." She continued to seduce.

"I have two conditions." The lord understood the principle of knowing when to stop. He thought about it and held up two fingers.

"Sure enough, the beautiful female priest is more attractive than me. It really makes me sad." Fatih's face was cold, but his cherry lips uttered words that were a headache.

Levi pretended not to hear. This woman was really a bit too much for him to handle.

Unlike Miriel who is a bit reserved, this guy is overtly flirty.

"First, I can only join the Holy Light Church in name only. After all, I still have my own territory and it is impossible for me to stay in the Church forever. Second, you cannot actively ask me to do anything, but if you have any difficulties, I will not hesitate to help you."

He spoke word by word.

If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass. Levi didn't expect to get the complete Book of Glory and Paladin's magic for free without paying anything.

So I promised to help the other party when he was in trouble.

As for whether doing so would result in him being labeled as a member of the Holy Light Church? Just as Count Ando said, when he was practicing the "Holy Word Treasure Book", he was already labeled.

"No problem." Fatih nodded quickly and agreed readily.

This made the lord feel like he had missed out on 100 million yuan, and he always felt that he could have made more requests just now.

"Then Your Highness Fadil, is there any joining ceremony required?"

"No, you just need to verbally agree to join the Holy Light Church." Although Fadil's face was still expressionless, his tone was obviously much lighter. "Unfortunately, I don't know the subsequent practice method of the "Holy Word Book", so after this war is over, you need to go to Gonda. However, I know two magic arts related to the "Firefly" level, and I can teach them to you now."

"Then please."

Levi's purpose was to target these two, so he was not polite at all.

……

It was not until late at night that the lord came out of the tent, followed by Leah.

"Huh, has our Saint always been like this?" Levi let out a long breath, and a ball of white mist formed in the snow.

He didn't say it explicitly, but Leah obviously knew what he was talking about.

"Levi, don't take it too seriously. This is just Fatih's personality. The more she's like this, the more she values ​​you. She's usually only so casual with people she knows." Leah shook her head helplessly.

It seems that he is helpless about the character of his good friend.

"Fatiel is here to help us in her personal capacity, not on my aunt's side, so she will be with you to help you solve some difficult problems. I'd like to ask you to take good care of her, Levi."

Leah looked at the handsome knight in front of her seriously.

"No problem. Even if she dies, I will bring her back alive, sir. You don't have to worry about that." The lord patted his chest and took the responsibility.

"You should also be careful. Don't rush forward alone foolishly. I know you are very strong, but you are not made of iron after all. The opponent in this war is not a makeshift team in the wilderness. Spellcasters and large-scale weapons, no matter which one, are enough to pose a threat to you."

Leah instructed patiently.

Levi nodded without objection.

What Leah said was true. He was a typical person with high attack and low health. He definitely could not withstand the large crossbow and high-level magic.

But it would be difficult for the opponent to hit him. Of course, he still couldn't be careless. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry. There's no guarantee that the opponent would use magic that could bind people.

After staying in the camp in Bailiu City for about two days, a team of nearly 30,000 people finally set out south in the early morning, braving the wind and snow.

The team formed a long dragon, with countless carriages following behind, stretching to the end of the sight.
