The Behemoth of Axavier Chapter 74 The Church of Light and the Dark Clan
Along the way, Gale tells the Bone a lot about the Church of Light.
The Temple of Light is located in the southern part of Verbo City, close to the Imperial Academy. There are many large and small churches in the entire Orion Empire, from small towns to large counties, even in Verbo City, in addition to the Temple of Light, there are three other churches.
Although the Church of Light is the state religion of Orion, the Empire of Orion is not the divine right of the Emperor, so it is not forbidden for the people to spread other beliefs in Orion, except for some cults and dark churches.
In Orion, both commoners and nobles are very supportive of the Church of Light, and even the poor people who are struggling at the bottom of society will show a little gratitude in their numb eyes when they meet the monks of the church.
The people of the church are collectively referred to as the clergy, and there are two types of clergy: the Monks of Light and the Knights of Light.
There are both men and women of the Monks of Light, and they are usually the descendants of the monks, orphans, and children of poor families.
Because the monks lived a life of hardship, few children of the nobility joined in. These clergy had close contact with the common people, enlightening them for good, and some gifted monks were given the Church of Light's unique runes of light to heal wounds and diseases.
Speaking of runes, it is necessary to mention the Light Knights unique to the Church of Light, also known as the Rune Knights. The Knights of Light are an armed force unique to the Church of Light.
Runes are another system of power that distinguishes them from magic and vindictiveness. The Temple of Light calls this power the power of God, the power bestowed by the Lord of Light.
"You see, that's the Knight of Light. When I was a child, my dream was to become a Knight of Light, but unfortunately the Knight of Light was the child of the monks or orphans in the Church of Light. ”
Gale gestured to the bones to look at the knights in silver armor on white horses.
"Are they powerful?" asked Grassbone.
"It's very powerful, especially fighting the Dark Clan on the battlefield of the Border. The way the Dark Clan fights is weird, especially since their physical strength is far greater than that of the Terrans.
But the Knight of Light is their nemesis. In fact, I have secretly been to the border battlefield a few times, and I have seen with my own eyes how powerful they are. Gail replied in the affirmative.
"By the way, Gail, didn't you say that the dark people of the Shadow Empire are also Terrans, why don't you ever mention that they are Terrans?" asked the question in his heart.
Gail was silent for a moment and said, "The werewolves and vampires of the Shadow Empire are a very complicated matter in terms of race, and people have different opinions, not only the Orionians, but also the people of the Shadow Empire itself have different opinions. ”
"Why is that?" said the bone, puzzled even more.
Gail replied, "I don't know exactly what caused it, it's been too long.
According to some historical records, thousands of years ago, there were no werewolves and vampires in the Shadow Empire. It's called the Shadow Empire because it's a sacred place for dark magicians. ”
"Dark magic, is it that evil magic?" said the Blade in surprise.
Gail shook his head. "No, not at first. Even the Church of Light, which is formally opposed to its power, does not characterize dark magic as an evil force.
Until the advent of necromancy.
Some people say that necromancy is a hybrid of dark magic and elemental summoning magic, while others say that it is the product of a combination of dark magic and life magic, but neither of them is inseparable from dark magic.
Since then, dark magic has been defined as an evil force. ”
"I've heard of undead creatures, isn't that naturally generated?" asked Grassbone.
"Undead creatures do arise naturally, and the conditions under which undead creatures are spawned are explained in many alchemical books.
But the advent of necromancy has made them no longer a product of nature.
They don't let the dead rest in peace, let the people who should be dead roam the land, kill more people who should be alive, and even turn the living into undead creatures. ”
Gail has a lingering appetite for undead magic and a deep hatred of it.
"The most feared thing about necromancers is that they turn all the dead into their army.
They kill more people, both civilians and soldiers, and when they are killed, they quickly rise up and join the horrific army of the undead.
The army of the undead is tireless, does not need food and grass, and as long as they are not decapitated, they will continue to kill all enemies in front of them, turning them into their companions. ”
Gale was not a timid person, but there was a chill from the heart at the thought of the boundless undead appearing in front of him.
"It is precisely because of the addition of the army of the undead, and the fact that other countries have their own concerns and refuse to unite. The Shadow Empire is able to expand its territory and annex one country after another.
The rest of the country finally put aside their worries and asked for help from the Orion Empire, hoping that the Orion Empire would be able to destroy this evil army.
But their concerns had grown the undead army to the point where they could rival Orion.
In the end, Orion was victorious, eliminating all the undead armies and most of the necromancers on the battlefield, driving the remaining necromancers back to where they had been.
However, those who had turned to Orion feared that the Orion Empire would take the opportunity to annex these extinct territories, so they stopped supplying them on the battlefield on the grounds of scarcity of food and grass.
At that time, Orion's army also suffered heavy losses, so he had to abandon the pursuit, and the rest of the army retreated to Orion. ”
"Those countries are so hateful! When he heard this, he was also a little angry at the shamelessness of those countries.
"There is nothing wrong with the civilians of those countries, and it is those in power who should pay the price. And then they did pay the price, but they turned those innocent civilians into burial objects. ”
Gael's disdain was tinged with sympathy for the dead civilians.
"Are those necromancers back?" asked Grassbone.
"Yes, they're back, and it's not just them. Hundreds of years later, two other creatures appeared on the battlefield.
They are exactly the same as the Terrans, both in appearance and intelligence. They also carry swords and spears, but they possess the strength of beasts.
One is a monster that can instantly transform into more than two meters, with black fur comparable to armor, a wolf-like head with sharp teeth and claws that can easily tear through shields. People call this creature that surpasses the strength and speed of the human race a werewolf.
The other is that the speed is comparable to that of a wind-type martial artist, but it uses a strange blood fighting qi. They feed on the blood of the Terrans, they are super resilient, they call themselves the Bloods, but we call them vampires.
With the addition of these two powerful creatures, the Shadow Empire is once again on the path of expansion, and this time it is unstoppable.
What's more, the Orion Empire was greatly damaged by the war with the Elven Empire, and it was simply unable to suppress the army of the undead as before.
In this case, it only took a few decades for the Shadow Empire to become a powerful empire comparable to Orion.
Even in the last hundred years, the Shadow Empire has become more powerful than Orion. Orion had to form an alliance with the surrounding countries to resist the encroachment of the Shadow Empire. ”
Almost everyone in Orion knows this history, and Gail, who dreams of one day being able to make a career on the battlefield on the border, is even more rebellious.
"I'd love to meet werewolves and vampires, and those evil necromancers. "The fiery violent factor in the body of the skull began to boil.
"Yes, let's go kill all those monsters when the time comes!" Gail said suddenly.
Gall was a little dazed by Gail's sudden words. He felt as if Gale was expressing his intention to form a team, or perhaps just something he said casually when he was excited.
In fact, deep down, Chi Bone really wants to form a mercenary team with Gail. He knew that Gail was subconsciously defensive of anyone who wanted to be close to because of that experience.
He respected Gail's choice, so he never thought of offering him to join him on the mission. But that doesn't mean he understands this caution and autism. At least the friends he knew were worthy of his life.
"Let's go, let's go to the front and have a look, maybe we can see the embassies of various countries. Gale excitedly pointed ahead as if nothing had happened.
Until the missions of various countries walked by one by one, Chi Gu did not see the banner of the Green family. It seems that Rickie and his teacher have not returned. I don't know what happened to them?
The Hanukkah daytime viewing ceremony is over, and the rest is not something that ordinary people can participate in. Grassbone said goodbye to Gale and returned to the legation alone, waiting until Cassel returned.
"Her Royal Highness came back before the ceremony, handed me a letter for me to pass on to you, and then left in a hurry, saying that you should not worry. Kassel handed the Bone a letter.
Chi Gu opened the letter, and the handwriting was very delicate:
Hello, Brother Agu. Please forgive me for hurrying here and not being able to see you. Thank you for saving my family from breakup.
I have seen my sister, although she is now lying quietly in her eggs. This made me feel a sense of responsibility like never before, and from now on, I was no longer the youngest of the Green family.
I'm sorry, but I had to leave early with my teacher. Our companion found traces of the Demon God, and the teacher said that it was very likely to be related to the fraudulent Demon God Fildusa.
Don't worry, no one can hurt me with the teacher.
Forgive me for not being able to tell you something, at least not now. All I can tell you is that my organization is strong and that he is righteous.
Finally, promise me not to tell them about this, and not to try to come to us.
We'll meet again, and I assure you I'm safe, very safe.
Goodbye, dear Brother Agu.
Yours sincerely, Rickel Green.
After reading the letter, Chi Gu couldn't rest assured at all. This unknown worry has always tormented the bones. For this sister who has never met before, Chi Gu really treats her as her own sister.
He handed the letter to Kassel and motioned for him to read it.
"I can't make up my mind, I think I should tell Dalles about them, but ......"
Skeleton paced back and forth in front of Cassel, two different thoughts tangled in his heart.
Cassel slowly closed the letter, let him groan for a moment, and said, "I think you should believe her, it's not something you can participate in now."
Her teacher was very powerful, and although he had never shown it, the kind of coercion I was all too familiar with, the same feeling I had had when I had seen the powerhouses of the Sanctuary on the battlefield.
If even he can't protect Princess Richel, there's nothing you can do if you're by her side. ”
Although Cassel's words were only sincere, this naked fact still made Chi Gu feel uncomfortable.
He had had a strong desire like this before, that desire to become stronger. That was when she lost her parents, but he was too young at that time, and with the help of the priest Abel, it slowly faded.
Ricky's appearance and departure made this longing once again sweep through the depths of his mind like a storm, and turned the memory back. And become stronger, more indestructible.
Gritting his teeth and nodding, he took the letter from Cassel, folded it back into his arms, and left silently.
