Chapter 406: Refuge
Liszt noticed that Sevia had been frowning ever since she came back when she went out to meet the people of the so-called secret society.
"Is there something bothering you? Let me guess - the other party can't help you?"
He couldn't help it anymore and took the initiative to ask the other party. Really, why don't you discuss it with me? We've been together for a while.
"No, the other party can help." Sevia replied, "But the people in the camp are arguing about where to go."
"Arguing over where to go?"
"The other party invited us to join their organization. Some people want to join the Arcana Society, but some people don't think so - the Arcana Society will indeed provide shelter to new members. This organization is secretly very powerful, but joining the Arcana Society means losing Freedom, you have to obey their arrangements, they have the final say on where you go, and you have to do things for this organization—probably dirty things that go against your own will.”
Liszt asked worriedly: "Where are you?"
"Me?" Sevia raised her head and looked at Liszt, "I will definitely not join the Secret Law Society. I really can't get along with this group of people."
Liszt breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
"Would it be bad to stay near Nisburg?"
"We have to deal with the church's search at all times, and with such a large group of people, the supplies prepared in advance in the camp are almost exhausted."
"If you don't join them, you can't leave Nisborg?"
"That's not true. The Secret Order will also send you out of Nisburg, but then you can fend for yourself. Sigh... Where should we send those who are unwilling to join the Secret Order? The Horn Bay must be I can’t stay any longer, not everyone is as good at hiding as Ruskin and I.”
Seeing that Sylvia was in a dilemma, Liszt had an idea and said: "If you really can't think of it, I can give you a suggestion. Do you want to hear it?"
Sylvia glared at him: "Don't show off."
"The northwest bay of Aldo Kingdom."
"Your hometown?"
"Yes, Lord Graeman is vigorously introducing talents from other places, and Corner Bay is an important source of talent. My colleague wrote in a letter that people from Corner Bay have even formed a settlement in Port Fulan recently. If you, as immigrants, , it will definitely be easy to settle down in the Northwest Bay. Uh, although you are mages, you must have other skills in your daily life."
"It's okay to make a living relying on ordinary skills. Most spellcasters do alchemy, astrology, etc..."
Sylvia was thoughtful, obviously moved by Liszt's words. She knew the lord Paul Gleiman, whom Lister often spoke of.
Liszt's eyes lit up: "Alchemy? Haha, Lord Grayman welcomes alchemists."
He added: "Recently I have studied the history of some churches and found this pattern: In addition to the church's headquarters - the Holy See, for other dioceses, it seems that the richer the place, the greater the energy the church invests, and the corresponding church The control over the area is also getting stronger - for example, Horn Bay is a typical example. And my hometown, Northwest Bay, I told you, was a very depressed place before Lord Grayman came to the throne. Fang, although there is a presence of the church there, overall... how should I put it, overall it is very weak, because there is little oil and water, and the church seems to have little interest there. There have been witch hunts, but there have been no cases of high-intensity persecution, and that was a long time ago, almost a legend. In short, if you go to the Northwest Bay, the safety is quite high."
After listening to Liszt's words, Sylvia said bitterly: "I knew they were all a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites, and they just plundered places with plenty of oil and water."
Then she laughed, with a teasing expression on her face: "I don't know what your lord would think if he knew that there is such a loyal and good citizen like you, but any normal noble would like to have a wizard in his territory. None. It would be better for you to lead a bunch of wizards to the lord."
"This..." Liszt blushed, "Ahem! Count Grayman is a very kind lord. Even if he knows about this matter, he will never leave him alone. I believe it!"
Although he said this, Liszt also felt a huge sense of guilt and fear in his heart. If Count Grayman really knew what he was doing, would he hang himself?
But the words have already been spoken... Oh, I was just trying to be clever.
Liszt looked at the floor blankly. Just when he was regretting it, he felt a soft hand on his shoulder. He turned his head and saw Sylvia looking at him very solemnly.
"Thank you, the suggestion was made by you - only I will know about this, and no one else will know about it."
Well, I can't take it back now. It seems that Sylvia has officially considered going to the Northwest Bay as an option. Lord Earl, please don't blame me.
Uh... But then... Sylvia is so charming when she's serious.
…
"Ah sneeze!"
Paul, who was lying on the desk writing calculations, suddenly sneezed, surprising La Di who was reading a letter nearby and looked over.
"I suddenly felt like something was going to happen to me."
Paul said to her jokingly, and then asked: "Who wrote this letter to you? Is it a friend from the previous adventure group? You seem to have stayed there for a long time just looking at it."
Ladi shook her head: "No, it's my senior sister from Jiaowan."
Senior sister? Paul recalled, oh, it was the Grand Duchess. According to that guy Quick, she was a beauty.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
"You seem worried? Is there any sad news in the letter?"
"..."
Ladi hesitated for a while, and then said angrily: "The letter said that the church in Jiaowan has gone too far. Countless people with the same identity as me are being persecuted by them."
She is now extremely grateful that she and her mother moved to the Northwest Bay early.
In fact, Ladi considered asking Paul for help and asking him to allow her to go to Cape Bay to guide the persecuted people to take refuge in the Northwest Bay on a large scale.
But if the operation is not careful, Paul will definitely be put in danger. If the news leaks out, how will others view a lord who harbors wizards?
If she were free and had nothing to do with Paul, she would have done this long ago, but not now.
"I escaped from the whirlpool early and enjoyed life alone, but I sat back and watched my compatriots suffer there! Isn't it very selfish?"
Ladi is in a lot of pain right now.
Paul shook his head and walked to her side to comfort her: "Remember, you are not the savior. There are always so many misfortunes in the world that one person cannot control anyway. Besides, you have no obligation to them."
"Oh, by the way, if you have any relatives or friends in Jiaowan... with that status, you can bring them over. No matter how long the hand of Jiaowan Church is, they can't reach here."
He wanted to help in any way he could.
