Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 384: Chapter 164: So-Called Youth Is Always a Team Effort, Part 4

Oerstein saw Su Li’s inquiring gaze and tactfully stepped aside, saying, ”Let Lord Dietrich introduce it to the lord.”

With the conversation reaching this point, Dietrich, who had been keeping his head down, finally couldn’t avoid it any longer. He had to lift his head and said to Su Li, ”Greetings to the lord, with Shalya above, may you be free from all plagues.”

Seeing his appearance, everyone could barely contain their laughter, struggling to hold back their smiles.

The well-mannered handsome middle-aged man had a blackened eye and a bruise, looking like a panda, clearly having just been dealt with a rough hand, extremely disheveled.

Dietrich, of course, knew how bad his situation was now, so he hurriedly changed the subject, saying, ”My lord, we have deployed four religious holy images here, one of which is a large shrine, a statue of Her Majesty Shalya, installed between the bath and the fountain. The Rat People won’t notice anything amiss. It is engraved with a passive divine magic, Light of Life, a powerful spell that can illuminate the heart of the target, dispelling darkness and fear.”

”If the Sorcerers of the Rat People use curse or fear-like effects, it can make our knights immune to their negative curses and control.”

Immune to fear, this is a very powerful ability.

In a small close combat skirmish, even two seconds of control by magic fear caused by a scarecrow can be fatal. This could lead to the Rat People’s blade stabbing multiple times, inflicting serious damage to a knight.

”Another religious holy image is engraved with divine magic [Enhanced Healing], which can bless and heal our knights every ten seconds after activating. However, this shrine is mounted inside the wall, and there will be a golden glow flashing when the blessing is released. If the Rat People break this shrine, the effect will be lost.”

”The other two religious holy images are from the Sun Goddess Church, which Lord Rong’en will introduce to you.”

”Dietrich, you shameless bastard, you never remember my good deeds, but you’re sure to drag me into your bad ones. Back in Hailiger Castle, when you sneaked to the obstetrics department to see pretty noblewomen, their husbands brought their clansmen to chase you down, and you dragged me along to share in the beating!” An angry roar came from the grass in the corner, as Rong’en got up in a huff.

Su Li looked over at the commotion and couldn’t help but laugh heartily, seeing a huge shoe mark on Rong’en’s face, with two streams of nosebleed flowing down, making for an incredibly comical sight. Together with the panda-like Dietrich, they looked more like two kids who’d just had a fight than serious religious shepherd leaders!

Dietrich, faced with the astonished looks from Hilude and Oliver, blushed with anger and shame, cursing, ”You... you treacherous creature! Your vows truly can’t be trusted; you once swore by Shalya’s name never to mention any of this to outsiders! For that, I even treated you to a 13 gold coin feast! For that meal, do you know I almost had to pawn my pants?”

Rong’en rightfully said, ”I am no longer a follower of Shalya, so I can reveal your old tales. I not only know you almost pawned your pants, but also that to repay your debt, you accompanied a countess from Hailiger Castle, and when you left, you took her stockings and underwear, claiming they were for your own collection, but actually sold them to those bastards from the Association of Joy Seekers.”

”When the countess found out, she was furious and almost mobilized high-level attendants to chase you down city-wide. Who do you think helped you clean up that mess?”

Su Li couldn’t help but exclaim, what a colorful past indeed.

Seeing their heated argument, who could have imagined that they were once on the verge of breaking up, swearing never to see each other again?

But this also made Su Li genuinely envious. No wonder people say youth is fierce and vigorous, and the phrase ”fierce and vigorous” sounds like a gang operation.

These two, now seemingly dignified and graceful religious shepherd leaders, were once so wild and unruly in their youth.
