Noble Emblem

Because the hotel had just opened, there were no other guests except for a few sleepy waiters. Beta and Jessica went inside, looked around, and found that the hotel was really nicely decorated, looking luxurious and clean.

The saying that expensive means expensive can make sense most of the time.

Beta put down two gold coins on the waiter's table and said: "Entertain us according to the best standards. If you don't have enough money, just tell my maid."

The waiter who opened the door lit up when he saw the gold coins. He nodded repeatedly and said vigorously: "Sir, don't worry, we are the best hotel in the city and we will definitely make you feel at home."

"By the way, what's going on in the city? The atmosphere is very wrong." Beta pointed outside: "There is a feeling that everyone is in danger."

The hotel owner hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and said: "Your Excellency's eyes are indeed very powerful. There is a conflict between the Temple of Light and the City Lord. Now we don't know which side we are on. No matter which side we are on, no one like us can offend. Big shot.”

"Temple of Light?"

Beta was a little surprised. Judging from the situation outside the city just now, the God of Hunger should have controlled the power of the city. How come it turned into the Temple of Light again when it arrived in the city?

And the mission also stated that this city was controlled by evil forces... After thinking for a moment, he came to a conclusion that surprised him.

This city may still be under the control of the Temple of Light externally, but in fact it is already under the control of the Temple of Light internally... However, this does not make sense. If a temple in a city is conquered by internal corrosion, outsiders may not know it. , but the goddess of light should always know that gods are most sensitive to the line of faith.

Is the goddess of light sleeping, so she is indifferent to the beliefs of the human world?

And Beta remembered that before Loya left, she seemed to have said something was wrong with the goddess of light.

Could this have anything to do with the upcoming jihad?

While thinking, Beta and Jessica went up to the second floor and rested for a while. Not long after, a young tourist couple dressed as Kyle and Babara also moved in. The four of them met each other, but the general assembly didn't seem to recognize him at all.

After resting in the hotel for a while, Beta took Jessica out for shopping. The door of the hotel was ajar, which didn't seem like it was going to be open for business.

Of course, the current atmosphere in the city is so weird that it makes sense that there are no guests coming and the door is ajar.

The waiter who was sweeping the floor near the door saw Beta leaving and wanted to stop him, but gave up after a moment and continued to do his work.

Going out to the street, Beta felt the tense atmosphere permeating the street again. He and Jessica wandered around casually without any purpose. According to his experience, in this kind of atmosphere, you can always encounter something if you just walk around.

As long as there is an emergency, it is easy to find an entry point. If that doesn't work, he can still go to the city lord's mansion for a walk. After all, he now has the status of a noble and a spell caster. It is not a big deal to meet a city lord. Difficult matter.

Jessica went shopping and was very happy at first, but then she saw that there were no vendors selling anything on the street, and she became obviously disappointed.

After walking on the street for about half an hour, Beta noticed that the crowd in front suddenly panicked and ran in his direction.

Seeing the 'emergency' he was looking forward to, Beta threw Jessica directly into the space without hesitation. Then he pushed aside the crowd and went upstream. Soon he came to the point of the incident. nearby.

This is the center of the city, the spacious fountain square.

At this time, a fight broke out on the other side. Three white-robed priests of light faced seventeen soldiers in gray uniforms. They were city guards at first glance.

Generally speaking, the combat effectiveness of the city guards is not very strong, but this team of city guards is an exception. The leader is a young man with very strong skills. While dodging the opponent's magic light bullet attacks, he will rush forward quickly from time to time. Or slashed, but they were all blocked by the opponent's magic light shield.

The light shield of the Temple of Light is notoriously strong.

Another dozen soldiers surrounded the three priests of light. Their strength may not be as good as the leading young man, but a dozen people formed a circle and used the iron protection in their hands to block the magic, and they managed to survive.

Although the impact of the magic light bullet is strong, one shot can knock the person holding the shield back several steps, and even for a while, he cannot even hold the shield firmly, but the people next to him will immediately jump on it and protect the attacker behind him.

The two are evenly matched for the time being, but if it continues, Beta feels that the Light Priest's side will win.

Beta was thinking about continuing to watch, or when it was time to go up and get involved, the young leader on the opposite side dodged, and the light bullet that lost its target hit Beta directly.

"Get out of the way."

The white-robed priest who shot the light bullet shouted anxiously.

Beta flicked his fingers, and an invisible magic force blew away the magic light bullet.

At this time, Beta revealed its magic power, which directly shocked the two parties. They stopped at the same time and looked at Beta not far away.

"Those who are passing by, please continue."

Beta smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

The fight couldn't go on in this situation. The two sides glared at each other fiercely. The white-robed priest who almost attacked Beta bowed down and apologized to Beta from a distance, and then left with his two companions.

At the signal of the young leader, the encirclement opened.

After the three white-robed priests left, the young leader made a contemptuous gesture at their backs. Then he walked up to Beta and said with admiration: "Your Excellency, you are very powerful. This magic capacity, At least it’s a master level.”

The young man in front of me has a rather heroic appearance. Beta smiled and said: "The people in the Temple of Light are generally pretty good. Why do you have a conflict with them?"

The young man scratched his head: "Your Excellency, you have just come to our city of Bertram. I admit that they are indeed good people, but good people may not satisfy everyone, are you right?"

Beta nodded: "Indeed, interests and positions will cause conflicts among people. Which one are you?"

The young man didn't want to say any more. He laughed and said, "Are you interested in coming to my house to sit down... Let me introduce myself. I am Alex, the son of the local city lord."

Beta felt quite happy that "it took no effort to get it." He originally wanted to meet the local city lord and find out about the situation in the city. Now that the city lord's son is here to invite and introduce him, that would be perfect.

"Okay, I just want to meet your father."

Hearing Beta's words, the young man's eyes blinked twice.
