Chapter 68: Orderliness and Kindness
"Sister Mantis, thank you so much for saving me from the sea of suffering," the half-elf smiled and was overjoyed, "After this vicious minotaur took me, he brought him a basin and washed his feet every day, washed his clothes and cooked food, and lived a life that was not as good as pigs and dogs, and I could finally be free in the future." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
Taking advantage of the insect's two agate ball-like compound eyes, the shaman quickly knelt beside the totem pole and whispered the prayer of resurrection.
"Hell, why didn't the totem even feel me at all this time," Olipas sweated with anxiety, "Is it because of the blood of this bug spilled on it?" No wonder people say that dog blood and chicken manure can destroy spells and pollute magic weapons, and dare to love this insect is also a big evil thing, and even the treasure of the ancestors has failed. β
A pair of white hands put on the totem pole, and the dots of green immediately moved, like flowing liquid, surging to these hands, and after a while, the entire cylinder regained its red color. The half-elf suddenly felt that there was another communication with the will of the ancestors, and looked at the owner of the hands in surprise, the guardian knight of the Holy See, "How did you get rid of those disgusting spots?" β
"Because I am a Templar with the title of Guardian Knight," a bright smile appeared on the knight's face, "It is my blessing to be able to touch the holy blood of the mantis ancestor and turn it into the holy power that my generation can use. β
The shaman's heart "chuckled", as if he was feeling a little uneasy. The Guardian Knight stood up from the ground and bowed respectfully to the praying mantis, "The Holy Ancestor Heavenly King, your humble disciple, respectful junior, salute you, and if I am fortunate enough to receive your divine grace, I ask you to bless me." β
"How do you want people to bless you?" The half-elf thought to himself, "I'm so excited to wipe some blood on my hands, if this worm squirts a mouthful of blood at you, wouldn't you be crazy with joy?" β
"Oh-" Although the bug's brain is not very good now, the reaction to this ritual is memorized, almost intuitive, and he rubs his knife arm at the moment, "What is your name?" β
"Our Church is proud of the ancestors, in the name of the insect, fair and honest, orderly and kind, hoping that one day it can turn into a cocoon and be a little closer to the glory of the Heavenly King......"
"It doesn't matter what god he worships, I'll resurrect the captain first," the shaman prayed to his ancestors again, "Great ancestors, ancient gods, please let your faithful child return to the bosom of the vast earth, againβ"
A sharp sword tip emerged from the half-elf's chest, cutting off his words, and for a few seconds, Olipas couldn't even believe that this was the truth, "You, you actually attacked me, and in front of your great god, this kind of behavior is also called a good and orderly Templar?" β
"You are guilty of deceiving the gods," the Guardian Knight's face was very holy and solemn, "You told the Heavenly Lord that you were a slave of the Minotaurs, which is not in accordance with the facts, and it is a sin; It is a great sin for you to use this lie in vain to distract the Heavenly King; The real purpose of lying is to resurrect the Minotaur and is a felony; You have begun to recite the Prayer of Resurrection in an attempt to resurrect a chaotic and evil monster before the gods, and it is a capital offense! β
"What sin and that sin?" Oripas was in unbearable pain, "Wait, what did you say just now, it seems that something chupated out of a cocoon?" β
"It's me, dear Goose Goose," replied the knight in a very sincere tone, "the Templars don't lie, why don't you ask my name after being a captive for so many days?" β
"You won't lie? You are obviously a student of the head of the regiment, the head of the Ouchi mage, how can you be the guardian knight of Sule? β
"It's very simple, the teacher sent me to be the guardian knight of Soule, and the Holy See sent me to be the teacher's student, they all know my other identity, and I never have to lie."
"Ahem-" the half-elf coughed violently, "just because you lost face in front of us twice, and you're going to go against us like this?" β
"As knights, we must observe the virtues of humility, sacrifice, valor, and honor," said the guardian knight's face was very solemn, "honor is my life, and when dignity is violated and face is disgraced, we must seek justice for ourselves." β
ββ¦β¦ Carrying the flag again, blowing the horn again, and taking up arms again...... "The half-elves no longer pay attention to the sneak attackers and forcibly pray for the resurrection ceremony, the advantage of the tribal prayer is that unlike human prayers, which cannot be interrupted, as long as they are recited within a certain period of time, they can take effect."
"I admire you very much, it's really not easy to die," the Templar gently turned the hilt of his sword, causing him to speak in pain, "Remember what you said about killing flies?" I'd love to know if you can still chant mantras in this situation. β
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"He didn't die from the desolation of the realm, from the impermanence of natural disasters, from the collapse of tunnels, from the mouth of monsters, from the invasion of demons, and not even from the legendary power of the Heavenly Lord," Xiao Youchang sighed and watched the guardian knight wipe the blood from his sword, "In the end, did he die at the hands of a well-behaved and kind paladin?" β
"I will do everything justly, do it righteously, spread the glory of my Lord, inherit the bravery of the insect master, and if there is any discrepancy, please blame." The young samurai saluted humbly.
"Hmph, that's really nice, how did the gap in that plane break, it was the summoning circle you prepared in the first place, right?" Xiao Xing pointed to his nose, "The Hades Emperor told us that someone was located in the surface world first, and then the elemental trolls rushed out first without waiting for the ritual to be completed, and as a result, they backed on the summoner who should be the master. β
"Yes, that day, I led the Souler Legion to conquer the chaotic and evil Minotaur Realm, and I prepared a summoning circle, and if the Holy See army can't take them, I will summon hellish monsters to attack the orcs."
"Well, you're the guardian knight of the Holy See, how can you summon hellish creatures to your service?"
"God teaches us to fight violence with violence and evil with evil, and I use evil hell creatures to deal with the evil orc tribe, which is completely in line with the teachings of the holy scriptures." The knight's face flashed with a resolute glow.
"But as a slave to someone's family, how can you hurt your master? This is a grave sin under the laws of any country. β
"Yesterday, the chieftain of the tribe had given me freedom again," the paladin explained lightly, "so now, I am an independent person, and I can naturally punish the evil." β
"You are so incompatible with evil, you should have fought to the death in the first place, how can you be willing to be a prisoner?"
"Even the shaman of an orc tribe knows to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and we knights are naturally not fools," the other replied with a smile, "It is a wise move to keep a useful body and preserve the living force." β
"So wise, then why don't you surrender to the hell demons, what are you doing with such vigorous resistance?"
"I'd love to surrender, but those hellish guys never take in human captives," the knight shook his head helplessly, then pointed to the ground, "If the demon is willing to accept our surrender, I think this half-elf gentleman will make that choice." β
"Eliminate evil, get rid of evil, kill it with a knife, and see what you have done to this half-elf! You did such a cruel act? β
"Heaven is clear, retribution is unpleasant, since he has moved the idea of cruelty to others, he must have the consciousness of being treated like this," said the knight, his face unapologetic, "God said, we will return a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and let the wicked man's cruelty fall on him." β
ββ¦β¦ It's just that you take revenge on the half-elf, the big cow is dead, why do you still spoil his corpse? β
"The orc tribe has never respected human corpses, and they have to eat them after hanging, and this dehumanizing sin should be punished."
"Forget it, sister, don't ask him again," Xiao Yu waved his sleeve, "You go, love to go wherever you want." β
"Brother, why can he pass your 'Truth Judgment'?" Xiao Xing watched the guardian knight leave, faintly unwilling, "Could it be that his defense is not lying at all, and his behavior is really in line with the order and kindness of a holy warrior?" β
"Xiao Xing, as long as he defines himself as good and his enemies as evil, under this condition, the logic of all his actions has a natural and reasonable premise," Xiao You sighed, "As a religious fanatic, this sentiment will not be false at all if he stubbornly believes that I am righteous. β
"Even if he thinks he is acting out of justice, what about this guy's behavior, cheating, surrendering, sneak attack, torture, torture of corpses...... Not at all in line with the code of ethics, does he dare to consider himself to be in order? β
"The moral code is a big basket, and he has appointed himself the supreme right to interpret it, adjusting the scope of application at will, and justifying all his actions." Xiao You shook his head, "I admit that he is a guy who is very good at taking advantage of the rules, if he goes to be a defender, he will definitely have a prosperous business." β
"Brother, is that orc tribe really disorderly and evil?"
"That Minotaur chief is also orderly and kind, since the country was established, it is naturally orderly, and friendship and care for companions are naturally kind." Xiao You said slowly, "Any wise country regards self-existence as the core value of the world, how can it be spontaneously placed in a morally disadvantageous position? β
"It turns out that justice, norms, these things are elusive," Xiaoxing groaned, his face turned pale, "Brother, I feel that my outlook on life, values, morality, worldview, and even philosophy has been severely hit and confused. β
"If you don't have enough heart, don't think about these mysterious and mysterious problems," Xiao Yu held the girl's cold little hand, "Countless empires have prospered in the world, and then died silently; Countless strong people have been brilliant in history, and then they have secretly fallen by themselves, compared to it, why should the simple history of an orc tribe be emotional? You don't care what love and justice are, what is hate and evil, just remember that our hostel has nothing to do with the world, it is transcendent, it shines with the sun and the moon, and it is always absolutely neutral. β
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ββ¦β¦ Put on your robes again, and let your warriors regain the great glory of the tribe-" Seeing the tragic condition of the half-elf who had not yet died, Xiao Yu was silent for a while, bent down and pulled the blockage out of his mouth, and the first thing the shaman who almost lost his mind said was to struggle to finish the prayer.
"The body is not complete, what's the use of reciting again? If it is resurrected, it will be a corpse. Xiaoxing covered his nose and muttered, he didn't expect this near-dead guy to still think about it.
"Do you still want to live?" Xiao Yu looked at Olipas' pained eyes and asked in a very calm tone.
Not having the strength to answer, but out of a desire to survive, the last shaman of the tribe looked at the boy with pleading eyes.
"Brother, you just said that we are absolutely neutral!" Xiaoxing was surprised that his brother had signs of doing good deeds, and hurriedly reminded him.
"So, it's just a deal, and I'm not going to save him for nothing." Xiao Yu hugged the body of the half-elf, "He will be our most faithful servant to repay this favor forever." β
"Brother, do you want to experiment with the crystal talisman body that Heaven-kun made for you last time?"
"There's still an arm left, Xiaoxing, you use the Mineral Detection Technique to check around and retrieve the Aojin Axe."
β¦β¦
The first dazzling crystal glowed golden.
"First, you must never harm your master, no matter under any circumstances."
The second dazzling crystal glowed turquoise.
"The second one, you must never disobey the orders of your master, but you must not violate the first."
The third dazzling crystal glowed crimson.
"Thirdly, as the property of the master, you must take care of yourself, but you must not violate the first and second articles."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You've eradicated that orc tribe? Yes, yes, this is the reward for completing the task, please accept it. β
"Waiter, what is the pay...... A membership card that can be used for five resurrection rituals? β
"Well, what's your opinion?"
"This, killing a vicious and powerful enemy, and it is in the realm of legends, such a reward seems too small, and as the guardian knight of the God of Light, I have a lot of resurrection opportunities in the Holy See, and this card does not mean much to me."
"When the monster came, it wasn't at the legendary level, and although it continued to get stronger, the classmate who sent the task didn't adjust the reward. What's more, the biggest benefit of a mission like destroying monster lairs is the capture of the treasure they have accumulated, not the return of the hostel. β
"This guy's reputation in the Lunan Continent is first-class ferocity, the price of the reward for the Killer Guild is 200,000 gold coins, the price of the Holy See's bounty is 300,000 gold coins, and the total price of the bounty for the countries of the continent is 500,000 gold coins!" The voice gradually became annoyed, "Is it just a little reward for completing a legendary-level task in the ashing realm?" Then I'll take it somewhere else and get the reward. β
"Wait, this thing is a proof of your completion of the task, and since you have been paid, you can't take it anymore."
"I don't want to be paid, can't I?"
"When the deal is completed, there is no remorse, this is the rule of the hostel."
ββ¦β¦β
"How did you put such a bloody thing on the counter today, could it be that we savage adventurers' dining tastes and serve raw meat?"
"Dude is right, it must be so."
"Waiter, cut this cow's head into half a catty for me!"
