Chapter 536 (1/2)
The holy mountain of kalenrill.
Apart from the sighing mountains, it is the highest altitude area in the western continent. Surrounded by mountains, the snow covered peaks look down on the earth like a sword standing on the ground.
On the steep cliffs, ropes and stairs circle along the rocks. A pilgrim from all over the world ascends the stairs just to look at the remaining statues of angels on the top of the mountain, the miracles left in the world after the chaotic disaster.
Among these people in different clothes, a man with grey hair and windbreaker was also among them, which was insignificant.
The peaks around the holy mountain are the headquarters of the church's major institutions.
Among them, there are Lanye palace, which specializes in teaching young children, Shuiping palace, which specializes in healing, Shanxiang palace, which is good at building, and Shijian palace, which is responsible for soothing souls and resting in peace.
Today, one of the three major knights, the chief of the order of the holy gun, Otis, is also in a precipitous fortress in the mountain.
He was wearing thick silver armor with gold veins. He was nearly two meters tall. Behind him was a big red cape. The Velvet Cape made his whole body and armor heavy, making him as firm and steady as a mountain.
He stood on a lookout tower and looked down at the Knights training and shouting in the valley below. There was no expression in his face.
There was a knock on the door in the room behind.
”In.”
When the door opened, a knight with silver armour came in. He was blonde and handsome. He should be about 30 years old.
”Lord Otis, I'd like to report something recently.”
”Go ahead.” He turned around and sat down behind his desk with the sound of armor crashing.
”At present, among the members of the Knights' order in various branches, some members need to ask for leave to go home for a period of time, about a month.”
”This kind of thing always happens. It's human nature.” Otis made a brief comment, but he knew that this clever young man must have more to say.
”Yes, but this year's ratio is much higher than that of last year. If last year's ratio was 2%, then this year's ratio is 4%
”But now there is no war, there is no special situation, it is not normal.”
”Then, most of these people were sent to the local diocese headquarters in the form of letters. Although they are busy at ordinary times, I specially found some of them and compared them with the previous letters, and found that the handwriting is not the same person.”
”That is to say, these people's letters were written by others, and they may have had an accident?”
”Yes, according to the normal process, knights from towns and small towns report to the local parish headquarters every other month. During this period, they will convey some recent orders and instructions. At the same time, strengthen ties to ensure the loyalty of the members of the order. ”
”But if you ask for leave in this way, you can report to the diocese headquarters three times at most, that is, within three months, then the whereabouts of these people will become a mystery.”
”Interesting.” The chief knocked his fingers on the table, thought for a few seconds, and then continued to ask.
