Chapter 10: The Ogre and the Doctrine of Light
The harbor town in the early morning still has a little coolness, and the sun has not yet fully risen, but the golden light has already illuminated most of the corners of the town
Haishi Harbor, the town of Ebb Tide originally existed only as a habitat for pirates, and at that time Ebb Tide Harbor was just a barren place not much bigger than a fishing village, uncared for, full of cheap prostitutes == women, shoddy ales and drunken pirates, a terrible place that people avoided. That is, until a group of goblin traveling merchants who have no permanent place to live here and settle here.
It is undeniable that although the goblins are despised by almost all the intelligent races of the Dota Big 6, they are weak, they are lowly, they are shameless, they are dirty, they are greedy, they are rich, but the goblins are definitely the race that knows how to accumulate wealth in the entire Dota 6, even if it is the overlord who dominates the Big 6, human beings cannot compare with it in this regard.
These goblin pioneers tried all kinds of methods, and at first even did not hesitate to sell = stolen goods for pirates, and in just a few decades they amassed an astonishing wealth and popularity, and a small fishing village has now become a famous trading center on the Big 6, one of the three major seaport cities. Here you can see luxurious buildings of different styles of various races and kingdoms, the most amorous wind and moon girls, the best equipment gladiatorial arena, the largest slave market, luxury auction house, the most fragrant wine, and the highest grade of magical equipment
In addition to these things, there are countless adventurer squads, thieves' guilds, and mercenary groups waiting to receive their quests
"Pigs and Whistles" is a special tavern for this group of dangerous creatures, where no less than 100 tasks are laid out and handed over every day, and tens of thousands of gold coins change hands here. The extremely prosperous trade naturally led to the exhibition of bodyguards, escorts, and even violent businesses such as looting and assassination. The guys sitting at these dozens of round tables drinking and chatting, all of them are fully armed and full of meat, they are all mercenary groups stationed in Haishiwan Tide Port, the task contacts of the guild, whenever the doorbell of the hotel rings and the door is pushed open, there will be countless eyes focused on the people who come, after all, the competition is so fierce now, any potential customers can not let go.
However, this time it was a rather special guy who pushed the door in, so that a large group of mercenaries who stood up and were about to go up to solicit customers, the thieves froze, and all looked at each other and hesitated.
For no other reason, the person who came in was a priest of the Church of the Reason of Light, and he was also a goddess official with a very high rank and outstanding appearance.
The Church of the Light, with its adherents in every corner of Dota 6, is the largest religion in human society, and the Pope even nominally has the right to decide the succession of most principality lords.
The Church of the Doctrine of Light is powerful and talented, and more importantly, no war will lack the active presence of the priest, and any battlefield cannot be separated from the assistance of the priest's powerful holy light divine magic. From world battlefields to adventurous teams, the white-robed priests and priests are the most popular professions. The reason why mankind was able to defeat the epic empire established by other intelligent races and dominate Dota 6 is not unrelated to the prosperity and rise of the Church of the Doctrine of Light.
But just like every organization that has stepped into the pinnacle, after the Church of the Doctrine of Light has become the largest religious force in the Big 6, it has also begun to gradually use the characteristics of stubbornness, domineering, and arbitrariness to the fullest, and has been crowned as a "heretic", "blasphemer", "witch" The identity of the religion, organization, and civilians are as many as the stars in the sky, and almost every day the central square of each town will stage a scene of burning at the stake of different scales, including many mercenary group members who accidentally offend the Church of the Doctrine of Light, and some are just careless** The woman happens to be a believer in the Church of Light.
"Is there a mercenary group here?the thieves' guild is also fine, I need someone to serve me~~~!" The woman shouted hysterically as soon as she entered the "Pig and Whistle", and everyone noticed that although the texture of the priest's robe on her body was gorgeous, it was filthy and damaged, and there were many damages, coupled with a little blood stain on the corner of the clothes, there was no doubt that this noble female official had just experienced a narrow escape from death, and maybe even worse. For the Church of the Doctrine of Light, this is already enough to cause countless fires to ignite in the central square of the lowtide harbor in Haishiwan, but it is strange why this young priest did not ask the local church for help, but instead came to this place where dragons and snakes are mixed, and set up a mission to a group of mercenaries and thieves who usually don't pay attention to it at all?
Everyone was confused and puzzled, and naturally no one went up to answer the question, so that the face of the goddess official became more and more ugly. She suddenly took out a beautiful cross made of gold from her corset and smashed it on the table, shouting loudly: "This is the reward for my mission, as long as anyone who has this golden Holy Cross will become a friend of the Church of the Light, and have the right to a religious amnesty! In addition, I can also pay an additional reward of five thousand gold coins, is there anyone willing to take my mission?"
The atmosphere suddenly boiled
There is nothing more important to a large organization or individual than this humble cross and the "Friends of the Light". In a world where you don't know when you're going to accidentally offend the behemoth of the Light, these two things are the equivalent of an unstable covenant and a gold medal of freedom from death. This kind of reward is definitely very generous no matter what the task of the goddess official wants to cloth, not to mention that five thousand gold coins is definitely not a small amount. It's just that the doubts in everyone's hearts are getting deeper and deeper, how can an important person in the church with a golden cross ask them for help?
unless
What this woman is going to do doesn't want to be known to the church.
In that case, the problem seems to be even more complicated
Finally, an old-looking mercenary spoke: "Honorable Priest, please tell us what your mission requirements are, I believe that the vast majority of people here have been impressed by your generous remuneration for the mission, and all they need to know is the content of the mission. ”
"It's very simple!" The goddess closed her eyes and was silent for a while, as if trying her best to calm her excited mood, and then suddenly opened her eyes, gritted her teeth, and said with murderous intent: "About three hundred and fifty miles away from this damn harbor, on the seaside, there is an ogre tribe, yes, that damn black hand tribe, I want you to completely exterminate this ogre tribe, and kill all those filthy blue garbage, not a single one!"
