Holy water and silver weapons form the two basic elements of exorcism rituals in the Western world, and no matter what kind of enemy you encounter, you can't go wrong with throwing a bottle of holy water first.

Similarly, there were the charms of the witch and the Taoist priest, as well as the spells recited by the high monks, these were all things that Gu Yun had read from the "Supernatural Encyclopedia", and he had never thought about the reasons before Emilia asked this question.

"I'm also a little curious that you call that object a cross."

"What do you call it else?"

"We don't need a cross in the process of making holy oil, but we replace it with a branch of the sacred tree."

Emilian herself had made the holy oil countless times by herself, and there was probably no one in the great imperial capital who knew the process of making the holy oil better than her.

Therefore, she felt that the establishment of the Kiriyama Hermit Society, as well as the beliefs of Archbishop Amphikto, were well-founded, because the branches of the sacred tree gave them a universal solution that could deal with almost all monsters.

Those who can do all this are probably the gods.

It's just that the only one who can communicate with the Protoss is the archbishop.

"You also believe in the existence of God?"

For Gu Yun, the Protoss was not a mysterious species, he had already seen the existence of the Kingdom of God in the mouths of believers, and it was inhabited by a group of people who had great power since birth.

And the greatest pleasure of the Protoss is to delineate the fate of each species.

They control not only the fate of believers and the trajectory of the development of the kingdom, but also monsters, animals, flowers and trees cannot escape their control.

"Believe, of course I believe, but my thoughts will be a little different from those of the hermit of the Foggy Mountains."

In addition to being a Potions Master, Emilian is also a researcher, and she is very resistant to these ethereal things.

The essence of the teachings of the hermits of the Misty Mountains lies in obedience - with Archbishop Amphiktor as the communicator of the will of the gods, the followers must obey all the will of the gods unconditionally, and they exchange it for the favor of the gods.

But Emilian had always been skeptical of God's purpose.

He seems to have gone beyond spreading good thoughts and spreading faith, he also hopes to change the system of the kingdom, reduce the number of knights, and allow the witchers of the Kirky Mountains Hermit Society to have a sufficient say in politics, and the current leader of the Scholarly School is an active practitioner of this change.

Because of this, the relationship between the nobles and the Kirky Mountain Hermit Society became more and more strained, so much so that even the Holy Capital was often filled with a smell of gunsmoke.

During her travels, Emilian had heard of many witchers fighting and fighting with the local gentry.

"This is different from the teachings preached by the Hermit Society of the Foggy Mountains."

At least in the propaganda of the Kirky Mountains Hermit Society, the Sacred Tree is a blessing from the gods, and he is looking at everything in the heavenly kingdom on the other side of the sacred tree, and the human civilization and even everything they are experiencing now are actually created by the gods themselves.

"That's a long way off."

In Gu Yun's eyes, the Protoss was actually just another powerful species similar to humans, and it had nothing to do with the creator at all.

And they have never used grace to guide the world, they are better at using fear and war, and the believers have waged war against their villages under the banner of eradicating the demons.

Regarding this point, Gu Yun had actually consulted the opinions of the experts of the Protoss, in fact, even they themselves couldn't tell why the villagers were demons.

Gu Yun was very disappointed after hearing this, he originally wanted to hear some factual statements from the communicator himself, so in addition to being disappointed, he could only burn down the palace used by the Protoss to convey his will.

No way.

The elders often warned him not to believe or spread rumors.

In the face of a large-scale rumor-mongering scene, Gu Yun definitely couldn't let this unhealthy trend continue.

But even so, the believers were deceived by the Protoss and didn't even know who they were.

"Tsk, we should meet, come, let's talk while doing experiments."

Emilian smiled and took out a sharp knife from her toolbox, "Actually, I've always thought that the theology of the Misty Mountain Hermit Order has a big hole...... Come on, you get to my bed first, and I'm going to take some of your blood samples for study—this might help you find the shapeshifter. ”

Gu Yun nodded and lay down.

The scent of petals lingering in his nose.

"The Hermit of the Misty Mountains would say that the gods created Dom, and if that were the case, he wouldn't have to rely on the Hermit Society to make the change."

Emilian skillfully cut a small incision on the back of Gu Yun's hand, but before much blood was collected, the wound on the back of her hand had already healed.

Unparalleled self-healing power.

She quickly received a visual message.

Such a rapid self-healing ability was much more powerful than any monster she knew.

"I even have some suspicions that those monsters were made by the gods."

Emilian poured the collected blood into a transparent vessel and sealed it, "That's the benefit of potions, it broadens my horizons, it's a way to deepen my understanding of the world, if he creates some monsters with his own hands, it's normal to have the means to destroy them." ”

This time, Gu Yun did not answer immediately.

He didn't find the answer to this question in the Kingdom of God at that time - because there were many people in the village who believed that the ravages of monsters were caused by the Protoss, Gu Yun searched for several days in the huge Kingdom of God, but he had never seen the monster manufacturing factory of the Protoss.

Until he gets a definite answer, he can't spread rumors like the Protoss.

"Haven't you noticed a problem? All the exorcism items He has sent down are ineffective against humanity itself. ”

A person who is splashed with holy oil will not spontaneously combust, and will not have any uncomfortable reaction when he is recited by an exorcism spell, and will be stabbed by a silver weapon......

That's really going to die.

But it has nothing to do with the silver itself, because if a person is stabbed with a fruit knife, he will die.

The potions shop has encountered an injured person who came to treat his injuries because of a quarrel with his wife and ended up with a fruit knife stuck in his buttocks.

If we look at this problem from the perspective of metaphysics, it may mean that there is no connection between humans and gods per se, and they are neither created by the gods nor controlled by Him.

That's why the gods use the sacred tree to deceive people's hearts.

"You ...... I'm talking about the Southlanders, and it's even more special. ”

"Huh?"

"You have been crowned as demons, and once the hermits of the Misty Mountains will win this struggle and have enough say in front of the king, they will turn around and wage war against you."

After seeing Gu Yun, Emilian really couldn't feel any confidence in the possible war - just this person and an ice dragon he rode over were enough to turn the Holy Capital upside down, and the ghost knows if the people of the Southlands are as strong as this guy.

"I know."

The advantage of being a person who lived more than a thousand years later was that Gu Yun knew that the Misty Mountain Hermit Society had really won in the end and had already provoked a war against the southern kingdom.

"Unlike Amphikto, he is the most devout believer in God, and I want to make a deal with the 'devil'."

Emilian said, "There must be a reason why you are called 'demons', and this reason may be hidden in your blood. ”
