Chapter 174: Lava Lord I
The chief knight first looked happy when he saw Bertis, but when he saw the wounded and bleeding boy she was carrying,
still slightly showed some unhappy expressions,
The son of an ordinary untouchable man is actually located on the high priest, this is simply γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» forget it, the knight chief looked around,
I found that the surrounding villagers either looked at the young man carried by the great priest with sympathy, or looked at the great priest with respect,
He secretly controlled the hand that wanted to draw his sword, and then took a deep breath. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now that there are onlookers all around, it is better not to destroy the image of the church,
Thinking of what he represented, the chief knight finally didn't say anything, but made a way for Bertis,
But several knights showed indignation on their faces one by one, and some had even drawn their swords, but before they could open their mouths and move,
He reprimanded the tailor imp who was so bold that he needed to be carried by the high priest of the church, or punished him, but was stopped by the knight chief with a different face,
He just waved at the knights, and although the knights were still dissatisfied, they reluctantly retreated,
At this time, in the eyes of the onlookers not far away, the chief knight walked in front of Bertis, the beautiful goddess of the church.
The chief knight did not hesitate,
He knelt down on one knee before Bertis, recited the holy name in his mouth, and after standing up with a bow and performing a salute, he looked at Bertis, a respectable priest of the people, and entered a specially prepared house.
Then he reprimanded the knights in a loud voice: "What is wrong with the dear priest saving a young man who was mutilated by orc bandits, do not be blinded by hatred, know that you are knights of the Church." β
The knights didn't understand what the knight chief meant at first, but after a vague look at the frightened villagers around them, they bowed their heads, and then saluted, after which they surrounded the house that Bertis had entered, and secretly watched the surroundings vigilantly.
And the chief knight was suspicious of the boy brought back by Bertis, although he said that it was attacked by orc robbers just now, but it was just to explain to the villagers, if it was really an orc, how could he let humans live, and he himself was still deeply suspicious of the boy who suddenly appeared,
But then,
He immediately forcibly dispelled the thought of doubt, and his heart was full of condemnation, how could he doubt the great great priest.
In the house, although the space is a little cramped, it is very exquisitely arranged, and there is a fireplace.
Although it is said to be a village, because the rule of the church is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in a short period of time, the village chief still mobilized the whole village, at least to prepare a room for the priest to look like it, and even went to a nearby village to ask for help.
Because he was the high priest of the church, the nearby nobles also rushed to hear the news, but were politely rejected by the chief knight, and the tax collector, who had frequented the village in previous years, did not come this year, which the villagers were grateful to the church, and they thought that the church drove away the demon tax collector.
Although the church actually collects more taxes, people think that it is to be presented to the Lord, the Lord who created this world, so they do not feel unacceptable, although sometimes they also feel lost.
After all, after a whole year of hard work, but to give wealth to those who do nothing, whether it is a nobleman who does not do anything at all, or a clergyman who spends his days on the interpretation of the doctrine,
But at least for the clergy, people will have some awe and respect more or less because of the theocracy they represent,
The tax collectors, on the other hand, represent the secular aristocracy, and they pay all taxes, the taxes on fires, the taxes on doors and windows, the taxes on eating and drinking, the taxes on farming, and even the additional taxes on the harvest, and the taxes on clothing,
In short, the nobles collected taxes in the name of innumerable, and it didn't even matter if they didn't have a false face and aristocratic etiquette at all, they would do their best to oppress everyone, and the church at least sometimes did something good.
In short, they obey the nobility, they are more loyal to the church, and where do they have the power to decide what they should do with themselves?
Bertis was not in the mood to pay attention to the layout of the house, she was full of worry at the moment, looking at the generalissimo with all kinds of scars and bright red liquid,
Because he wanted to cover it up, the generalissimo himself committed an act of self-harm to himself, although it was a human body, but the generalissimo who was attached to it also felt very intense pain, but he did not show a trace of emotion from beginning to end,
The whole face showed the painful look that he had deliberately shown when facing the knights and villagers, and when he entered the house, he was only indifferent, and there was only a look of indifference in his eyes.
In this regard, Bertis felt briefly confused, and then she was ready to do something, and cast the Holy Spell and Holy Light Bath, which turned out to be a sixth-level Great Healing Technique, as a result,
'Zizizi', the generalissimo's human body began to emit black gas, and then rotted, Bertis froze instantly, but the generalissimo showed a smile and half-jokingly said to her: "Holy light, is this to murder me? β
Then the wounds all over his body recovered at an extremely fast speed, and after some stubborn holy light was expelled by him, the original rotten pieces of flesh were burned by black sparks that emerged from his body, and new pieces of flesh began to grow along the body that had exposed the bones.
"Well, the wounds are all healed, thank you for your treatment, Sister Saint. The Generalissimo deliberately spoke loudly and happily in a childish voice, and at the same time the voice was accompanied by amazement and adoration,
The voice is full of the unique sharpness of a teenager, so that people outside can hear it clearly.
Then he whispered: "Let this voice go out and dispel people's doubts and worries, after all, no matter how vigilant you are, there will always be some laxity towards children." β
Bertiss, however, smiled at the Generalissimo himself, a very warm smile.
"Your acting skills are really good, especially this smile, which is natural and sacred, and I was almost deceived by you. In this regard, the generalissimo said, and at the same time he asked with a strange expression: "I have observed this village since just now, and there are probably less than five hundred people, can it really garrison a team of ten thousand people?"
Bertis then explained: "The total number of people in this nearby village is only more than 5,000 people, and it is clearly recorded in the archives of the church, so this village, and even the surrounding villages, are stationed with less than 1,000 people, and the rest are stationed in the town outside this snowy mountain. β
"Then if the orcs learn your identity and attack you desperately, the men and horses stationed in the town will definitely come to the rescue of you, a high-ranking member of the Holy See, and if the orcs use this to ambush their troops in the section of the road they must pass, then your elite can be easily wiped out, aren't you worried?"
He was puzzled by this,
Bertis laughed, laughing, which puzzled him even more: "Isn't it funny?
"No, tailor, your analysis is like in the book, but orcs may not have such brains, if they had, how could this world be human, they are not inferior to humans in all aspects, or even stronger, if the brains are useful, then humanity should really be extinct. β
Bertise said with certainty, but he didn't expect the generalissimo who should have agreed, but he showed a strange smile, stood in front of the window, and then looked straight into the distance, and said in a voice that only demons could hear:
"No, I think it's the opposite?
It was the humans who deliberately made the orcs live, or the Holy See, and it felt strange from the beginning, didn't you feel it, don't you really don't know, it's very easy to see,
From everything you have told me, I have come to understand why the power of the Church suddenly strengthened a hundred years ago, and wasn't that the time when the orcs discovered humanity across the Strait?
If through a created external trouble, the human race is more united, and it can also be used to unite the human countries under the control of the Holy See, why not take advantage of the existence of orcs, this is a very simple means,
If the orcs are really gone, the one who loses the most and gains the least is the Holy See.
On the one hand, they can use the threat of the orcs to unite and control the continent, and the annual war with the orcs will make many victims become soldiers, and then consumed on the battlefield, that is, the pressure of food is slowed down, the outbreak of disease, and the soldiers recruited by the disaster people are killed in battle.
The Holy See will earn a lot of all the posthumous expenses spent by the family, and if the human lord dies on the battlefield, the land will be annexed by the king, and perhaps the Holy See will take the opportunity to grab most of it.
The smallest territory will be divided as a result, and the result of the division will be a decrease in power, and the power of the church will be strengthened.
As for the heirs of the minor nobles, after most of the forces of the fiefdom were killed, the Holy See could easily put them in the name of heresy, execute them, and then occupy everything, including the land, in the case of nominal moral superiority, as a matter of course,
This kind of trade that only makes money and does not lose money, I really don't think that it is not that the Holy See is deliberately staying in the orcs, or even cultivating, otherwise, there will really be no way to eliminate the orc threat, as long as a defense system for the strait is established, it does not cost more than the garrison in the north, but it can reduce the pressure of the orcs,
Why not do it, isn't it just that the Holy See needs this kind of war to feed itself?"
Bertiss, however, looked colder and asked:
"In your opinion, the church is using the existence of orcs for personal gain, using the fear of the human state towards orcs to establish prestige and leadership power, once the orcs do not exist, then the source of the church's orders does not exist. β
"Yes, in this case, there is majesty, but to say that the methods of the church are really unique, just like a person we all know, it is also to take advantage of people's fear of fear, and use the right name to do things that are very in line with demonic morality. β
"The Generalissimo wanted to say from the very beginning, Your Highness, you are not allowed to tarnish the glory of Your Highness in this way, everything Your Highness has done is not allowed to be denied, let alone ridiculed, maybe it is very similar in means,
But His Highness is not like the Church, he himself is the master of everything, from starting the war to ending the war, while the Church will only start the war, not end the war, and the war of His Highness has always been his own decision on time. β
"I'm γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» forget it. The generalissimo himself was surprised by the sudden change in the female demon, but surprisingly did not continue.
And Bertiss, who suddenly reacted, realized what she had just said, and she was already facing the generalissimo's expression, and she felt very scared for a while, but she was not very embarrassed, because she was not facing a demon generalissimo with demonic rank coercion, but an inconspicuous human teenager.
"So, may I ask you a question? My lord, no, the tailor. β
"Ask, I don't care, why did I come here?" said the little tailor with a childish tone and a "scared" face.
"Why would you want to join a church? Bertis asked.
"Because of this human body, because "I" had planned to become a savior, a paladin, and this goal can only be achieved in the church, I originally just wanted to take advantage of the desire of this human imp, but I didn't expect an accident. β
At this time, the tailor's face was not what a teenager should have, he was calm and helpless.
"Your chaotic body has not been formed. β
"Yes, it's still half-human, no, even the way I am now, I'm a human at all, and I still have a human soul to maintain my body, after all, I am a soulless existence, and my chaotic body doesn't need a soul to sustain it,
But human beings can't, without a soul, the body will rot and stink, and stop functioning, so I can only keep this young man's soul, but because of this, I can't run in this body, and the body of chaos can't be transformed for a long time.
Originally, if I hadn't met you, I would have thought of a way to join the Holy See first, and then complete the redemption of the continent with this soul, eliminate the orcs and demons, unify the continent, and cause as much destruction as possible in the process again, so that I can absorb the power of fear, anger and all negative emotions of living beings, and complete the chaotic body,
The soul of the young man can disappear peacefully under the influence of my chaotic qi, and the soul will forever degenerate into a ghost and god who wanders away from the void, and can no longer resist me like now, and I can truly be resurrected, without having to split my consciousness and live in the sword and the human body, so as to survive,
And in the end, we can end the situation here.
Rush to the divine realm, at least there is something to do, to do what belongs to the generalissimo to complete,
But since you're here, I'm going to change my plans.
Judging from the current form of the meeting of the gods, it is very likely that the gods will block the divine realm in the future, and perhaps eventually the entire dimensional wall of the kingdom of the gods, including the divine realm itself and countless planes, will be completely closed.
In that case, even if you want to come to the realm of the gods in the future, or wreak havoc in the divine realm, you will not be able to do it, so you will keep your existence, at least an uncertain factor,
So I'm not going to make trouble here, the eyes of the gods, oh, it should be said that the lord of this plane, the eyes of the Lord of the Holy Light have been attracted, although it is just a guy who can be easily solved, but it is not good to attract the attention of powerful gods,
In that case, if you want to recover, you still have to join the church as a starting point.
And unlike the route of destroying the original soul of this body after restoring the demon's body and completing the run-in, I plan to sign a contract with his soul and become a savior-like existence according to his wishes.
According to the covenant of the contract, let the soul disappear in satisfaction,
And once the contract is signed, I can resist the resistance from the soul and complete the process of chaotic transformation, at least the contract will continue to erode his soul, and I can fulfill his wish through the hundred years of restriction during the contract period.
It's been almost a hundred years since I became a paladin, and in terms of contracts, I'll play a little trick, at least becoming a paladin is difficult to achieve for demons, but if you just have the power of a paladin and can save the continent, it's not a problem,
In this way, I can also transform into the body of a generalissimo in a hundred years,
And temporally can also,
This Nether Plane at the bottom of the top, under the cover of my power, hundreds of years may only be a day in the Divine Realm. β
"But wouldn't the Lord of Light notice in that case?"
"No, do you think that God will watch the plane under his control every moment? No, they won't pay much attention to anything that is not the destruction of the plane, maybe he has already discovered you, and it may not be,
To be able to become a god, you must also be an existence of extraordinary wisdom, compared to knowing your identity, you will not risk angering Your Highness, to do something that is not beneficial to himself, God is very realistic. β
"Are you going to spend a hundred years here?"
"Of course not, although I said it would take a hundred years, but I just deceived the other party when I signed the contract. β
"You've signed it. β
"Otherwise, you think, why am I talking so much, and you. β
Bertise looked at the tailor, who was visibly tired but exuding a different feeling, and was annoyed, but then they both heard a scream:
"Ah!!h
"It's orcs, minotaurs, and wolf cavalry, quick!!, ready for battleγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» "The angry voices of the knights and the orderly sound of drawing swords and getting on their horses came.
"Roar, roar..." "Hahahaha, Oak, Oak, ahhaha~" The orc's voice came.
Outside, all kinds of panicked voices came in, whether it was the panic of the villagers, or the roar of the knights, the neighing of horses, the sound of orcs, the sound of their mounts.
"How many people are here, I mean they can fight, don't count you and me, I remember you said that there are about a thousand people in the village around here. β
"There are a total of a thousand people in dozens of villages in this mountain, and there are only thirty knights here in a single village, but there is no need to worry about their battles. β
"Really?" said the Generalissimo, with a strange expression, "listen, we are surrounded by thousands of orcs. β
"What?"
"My lord, please make a decision at onceγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Suddenly the door opened, and a knight with his armor shattered and bruised fell to his knees.
At this moment, time was fixed, all sounds were gone, and the words of the knight, first of all, came to an abrupt halt halfway through.
"This knight must have been struck by a goblin skull, and his mount was struck by a giant wolf under the goblin's crotch," Berthys said in a voice that only demons could hear.
"Yes, he is the knight who was first struck in the helmet with a blow from his horse, and then wounded by the fright of his horse being bitten by a wolf. β
The Generalissimo replied in her heart with his will, and at the same time smiled in her heart: "I think now is the opportunity to join the Holy See, and when I face the orcs, I will show a fearless look, you will save me at the right time, and then when the knight chief has an appreciation for me,
You immediately objected, thinking that I was just a child and should not be burdened.
Then, in order to prove that I was not the material to join the Holy See, and I was tested for magic, but unfortunately, I just revealed my identity as a magical genius.
At this time, it must be the insistence of the knight to join the church, and you still have to put on an appearance of opposition, but I will begin to waver, and then firmly say that I must join the church and become a part of the Holy See.
Then he will cry and tell everyone that his family has been killed by the orcs, and then show you a look of eagerness to join the church.
At this point, the plot ends, and you are free to play the rest of the matter.
By the way, if the Holy See, or the Church, wants to investigate the identity of this tailor in the future, it will be troublesome, and you will have to prepare it for me, this tailor also has a family member alive who is his master, and other people don't know much about him, so there shouldn't be any problem. β
There was a glint in the generalissimo's eyes, time resumed flowing, and all kinds of noisy voices poured in like water, first of all, the knight's voice: "For some reason, the orcs seem to have surrounded the village." β
Bertis stood up, her face holed with sacredness, and she first ordered the knight to go into battle,
Then he conjured the golden armor of holy qi with holy spells, walked out of the house, and instantly became a female knight in the eyes of everyone. β
And the generalissimo, no, the imp who is currently a tailor, was at first a little hesitant and frightened, and then his eyes were determined, and he followed closely behind the knight of the priest of Bertis.
Outside the house, as far as the eye can see, there are monsters,
The two-and-a-half-meter-tall minotaur holds a giant axe and wears clothes made of tattered human skin, while in the distance, the goblin wolf cavalry is terrifying with a human mount.
The goblins gnawed at the thigh bones that could no longer tell whether they were men or women, their eyes flashed with a fierce red light, and they laughed strangely loudly, while the behemoths under their crotches, monsters that were already more ferocious than ordinary wolves, also looked at the terrified humans and the knights with their bloody mouths.
The knights were all scarred, and there were more than double-digit corpses in the field, all of them were orcs or humans, and the knight chief and a group of knights used white holy light as a protective shield to protect the villagers in it.
Then he found the knight who had come out of the house, Bertis, a timid little tailor.
At this moment, there were no casualties among the knights, but without the help of the priesthood, they would have fallen sooner or later.
But with the appearance of Bertis, all worries are gone,
The cheers were so loud that even the chief knight breathed a sigh of relief, and for the first time he said to the tailor with a pleasant face: "Yes, little imp, is it really not the first time to face an orc? β
"Now, please take action, and please forgive me for my incompetence. The chief knight said apologetically to Bertis.
