The wind whistled in her ears, the trees flew by, and the wonderful feeling of power made her heart seem to become as broad as the sky, free and unimpeded.

"Look, who's that?"

"It's so fast!"

"It's that ugly bastard. ”

"It's ugly Linda. ”

"Oh my God, it must be the power of the devil. ”

"Holy Spirit bless, Holy Spirit bless. ”

There were several farmers and peasant women standing on the edge of the ridge, looking at Linda in a daze, talking about each other, and inexplicable fear rose in their hearts.

It is impossible for ordinary people to run so fast, it must be the power of the devil.

Although Linda couldn't hear them clearly, experience had taught her that it was not a good thing. But she didn't care, she now had real friends and true faith.

Running all the way back to the castle, there is not much power left in the stone skin. As Linda hurried to the workshop with the branches, Karrick held the scythe head in both hands and put the finishing touches on it.

"Linda, welcome back. Alice smiled and said expectantly, "How's it going? Have you found the answer to nature?"

Linda put down the branch and grabbed Alice's hand with pleasure: "Yes, Alice. I've found a way to harness my divine powers!"

With a bang, the head of the scythe in Karrick's hand fell to the ground, and he stared at a pair of surprised eyes: "Linda, you ...... Can you speak? No...... No, you...... You've been blessed by the gods, my God......"

Facing Karrick, Linda was still a little shy, and nodded gently: "The great god encouraged me in my dreams, enlightened me, and gave me the divine power to explore the secrets of nature. ”

Allowing a mute who had been silent for four years to speak, Karrick gasped, the wonder of this dream god was completely beyond his imagination.

"You two?"

"Yes!" Alice and Linda said in unison, their faces full of pride, "We are all guardians of the Sanctuary of the Soul, the embodiment of strength and wisdom, the embodiment of love and justice, and the believers of the majestic Crem." ”

Karrick swallowed, the Black Stone Leader had two blessed children by the gods at the same time, this is incredible!

For a while, Karek, who was overwhelmed by many sorrows and difficulties, was in a very agitated mood, and the struggling Blackstone Collar needed the light of light too much.

But soon, as an adult's mature thinking, he became aware of another important issue. That's the issue of the confidentiality of Linda and Alice's identities, who are too aware of the sheer power of the Church of the Holy Spirit and the extremely xenophobic doctrines. Father Gensley was eliminated out of long-term concern for Alice and Blackstone Collar.

Once the news of the existence of an alien belief in the Black Stone Domain attracts the attention of the Holy Spirit Church, those noble lords who have a deep-rooted interest relationship with the Holy Spirit Church will definitely not stand idly by, and the Black Stone Leader will become the target of public criticism.

Thinking of this, Carrick suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly closed the door, his expression became very solemn: "Alice, Linda." You are all lucky to be favored by the gods, and I have no doubt about the god you believe in, who saved my life. However, the world is far more complicated than you think, and the Church of the Holy Spirit will never allow the belief of a different god to take root and blossom in his sphere of influence. ”

"The Church of the Holy Spirit?" Alice's expression was full of disdain, "An inferior false god, not worth mentioning in front of a great god." I am not afraid of them, neither are my gods afraid of them. ”

Karrick's face was full of anxiety: "Alice, I understand what you mean. But you don't know the true power of the Church of the Holy Spirit, and even the royal family can't shake its immense influence. The nobles, the noble knights, were all believers in the Holy Spirit. It is their duty to uphold the majesty of the Holy Spirit and to exterminate the infidels. Even your sister, Leah, is a member of the Church of the Holy Spirit. ”

Alice is indeed too simple to understand the complexity of the world and the fanaticism of religion. But thinking of Leah, her tone suddenly hesitated: "In my opinion, the Holy Spirit is a hypocritical existence, a false god of the church to deceive believers. The gods of Linda and I lifted the curse of the sea god and brought light to the sailors. The knowledge he imparted brought blessings to our people. Can a truly great god still have to endure the oppression and deception of false gods?"

Karrick was silent, for the people at the bottom, the mercy of the Holy Spirit was nothing more than a slogan, a kind of spiritual sustenance. But for the ruling class, it is a tool for them to harness power and prey on the people.

When there was a storm at sea, he prayed for the protection of the Holy Spirit like everyone else, but there was no answer. When suffering from the curse of the sea god, he also prayed for the protection of the Holy Spirit countless times, but there was no response.

But Alice's god saved him, and it is self-evident which is stronger and which is weaker, which is true and which is false.

"Alice. Karrick sighed helplessly: "Maybe you're right, a true god shouldn't tolerate the deception of false gods. But on the other hand, false gods are hypocritical and perhaps cruel. Under his demagogy, those believers will not question it. ”

This time it was Alice's turn to be silent, the Blackstone Collar was too weak, if it was really as Karrick said, in front of those elite knights, the Blackstone Collar would overturn in an instant.

Alice was innocent, not stupid, and she remembered the angry Father Gensley, and the mad and vicious curse still ringed in her ears. The so-called mercy of the Holy Spirit seems so ridiculous in the face of the facts.

"Alice. Karrick patted her on the shoulder, "My sailors have been blessed by the gods, and are keeping their promises to spread the good name of the gods. But what we need more is time, the Blackstone Collar is too weak, we need to accumulate wealth and become stronger, so that we can better proclaim the great gods. ”

"I see! Alice nodded: "Before that, the faith of the great gods will be limited to the Blackstone Collar. The fact that Linda and I received the blessing was never allowed to circulate. When Leah returns, I will have a good talk with her, she is a baptized knight of the Church of the Holy Spirit, lord of the Blackstone Lord, and I believe that the Church of the Holy Spirit will not attack us for some time to come. ”

Karrick smiled with relief, picked up the sharpened scythe, and blinked, "Alice, let's talk about the tools of the gods." Now, the autumn harvest is more important than the Holy Spirit. ”

In this era, the spread of news was very closed, and when the autumn harvest ended and entered the cold winter, the Kuroishi would enter a state of almost complete closure until the onset of the following spring.

From the branch that Linda found, she selected one that was not much different from Alice's memory, and after simple cutting, it was successfully fixed with the head of the sickle to form a giant sickle that was one person high, and the cold light flickered, which was daunting.

The endless orange-yellow wheat fields resemble an undulating lake, and the heavy ears of wheat rustle in the breeze.

Karrick himself carried a long-handled scythe and stood on the edge of the ridge, full of anticipation. In addition to being a businessman, he is also a good farmer in the Black Rock Collar.

The structure of the long-handled sickle is not complicated, and the method of use is easy to understand at a glance. Holding the top of the pole with one hand and the twist in the middle with the other, Karrick stood up straight, threw his arm to the right, aimed at the thriving wheat stalks, and swung vigorously to draw a perfect arc from right to left.

The sharp blade easily cut through the wheat stalks, and large swaths fell at their feet. There was a gleam of excitement in Karrick's eyes, he knew all too well the force and effect of this scythe.

Whew......

Three harvests in a row, flakes of barley fell under their feet like a routed army.

In order to create a contrast, Linda on the side is also bending over desperately waving the short-handled sickle in her hand. Although she is also very skillful in her movements, the efficiency of the scythe is too different, and both the area and the distance are far behind.

Karrick cut a distance of more than ten meters in one breath, and only then did he grope for the creation of this god with excitement, and let out a heartfelt admiration: "This is amazing!
