Chapter 320: Once Upon a Time
Hayes barely knew how he had left the Lion King, and he had maintained his acting skills on the surface, making himself look extremely angry and making outsiders think that he thought this Uther was fake.
It also makes people believe that this Uther is really a fake.
Only he knew that his back was completely soaked at this time.
In front of Uther, although there was no fighting, and there was no confrontation, his body was much more tired than experiencing a big battle.
Because, this is the tiredness of the mind, his mind, extremely tired.
This kind of struggle is really unbearable.
Do you choose faith, or do you choose greed? They also thought about what if Uther did return one day, but didn't listen to them.
Since then, some of the central figures of the church have already begun to prepare for this.
In fact, they didn't think that Uther would really be able to return, and the reason why they released this news everywhere was originally to get a fake Uther and a puppet when the time came, to become a movable type signboard.
Unexpectedly, now that Uther is really back, it is too unexpected for them.
This matter is too serious, and he must go back to the church as soon as possible and report it to His Holiness the Pope. This matter is not something he can do to the Lord, it must be decided by the Pope.
"That's right, this matter should be something that the Pope should worry about, why am I so worried?" Hayes tried to let himself think like this, so that he could free himself.
In fact, he himself knew that he was just punishing his heart.
"What if...... Did the Pope really order the assassination of Lord Uther? So what should I do? At this time, Hayes couldn't help but think about this layer.
At a very young age, he was chosen to be a paladin, and at that time, being able to become a paladin was the most glorious thing, a profession that was the envy of all his peers, even more glorious than a magician.
From that time, when he was still ignorant, he was also told that soon the great Uther would return and would lead them to uphold the justice of this world.
At that time, he was still very simple, looking at the tall statue of Uther again and again, and swore in his heart that he would protect the great Uther with his own blood.
"Return, return, Lord Uther, I am willing to defend you for eternity with my life."
The innocent teenagers, one by one, knelt in front of the statue of Uther, their faces were reverent.
But now......
Perhaps, when people grow up, they will no longer believe in those fairy tales, and they will become realistic, but are the fairy tales of childhood really so easy to erase?
Hayes returned to Robles' camp almost as a walking corpse, and it was as if his soul was no longer in his body.
"Lord Hayes, are you back so soon? What do you think? Is that Uther, but the Uther that your church enshrines? Robles was a little surprised to see Hayes come back so quickly.
Originally, he thought that Hayes had come back late.
Hayes snorted coldly and said, "Fraud, even if Uther returns and does not appear in the church, but appears here?" It's ridiculous. β
Hearing Hayes say this, Robles didn't think much about it, laughed, and said: "This is all very normal, in fact, I am also thinking about whether to make a few false beast gods or something to appeal, but these orcs are all pedantic and ruthless, and they refuse to pretend to be their own gods when they say anything, they say that is blasphemy against the gods." These orcs, what stupidity, no wonder they will be destroyed. What gods are not gods, as long as they have power, they are gods. β
Robles's face was filled with an unstoppable, extreme arrogance.
Hayes listened to Robles's words and coldly sarcastic, "That's because you don't know the power of faith." β
"Oh? The power of faith? Can faith be eaten? Can faith be exchanged for a lot of money? Power, only absolute power is everything. Don't tell me what your Church of Light believes in, I know your situation best. You are just being deceived in the name of Uther. However, there are those kinds of fools who go to be deceived, to believe in what bright faith, to believe in what knightly spirit. Even if that Uther did appear, what could it be? It's just an old god stick, and I can slap him out. Robles said dismissively.
Hayes stood up, his whole body burst out with a golden fighting spirit, his eyebrows were raised, and he said angrily: "Robles, you can slander the church, but you are not allowed to insult Uther, if you dare to say it again, I will make you pay even if I spill my own blood here now." β
After saying this, even Hayes himself felt a burst of surprise, what was wrong with him? Why did you react so much after hearing someone insult Uther?
Ever since he learned that the church was secretly preparing the puppet Uther, he had long since become less devout about the god he worshipped.
What's wrong with you today?
I don't know what's going on, but now, Hayes's mind keeps echoing Uther's words: "These three people have some bright energy attributes, but in their bodies, they don't have a little chivalry that a paladin should have. The knighthood of a paladin includes honor, etiquette, humility, perseverance, loyalty, pride, and piety. I can't see these things in them, so they have empty bodies of paladins, but no souls of paladins. They, in essence, are not true paladins. β
Yes, fame, etiquette, humility, fortitude, loyalty, pride, piety, from the first day I became a paladin, I was taught and instilled in this way.
However, as he grew up, as he got involved in more and more internal affairs of the church, and learned more and more about the dirty side of the church, he was involved in it for the sake of status, interests, and money, and the chivalry he believed in at the beginning became farther and farther away.
But today, when he saw Uther, when he was so mercilessly scolded by Uther, these things that he had once guarded with his life when he was a child seemed to have returned to his soul again.
Robles was also slightly stunned when he saw Hayes' fierce reaction, but he didn't expect Hayes to really go crazy.
For the church, the Kennedys did not deal less, knowing that it was dirtier than anywhere, and that the glory of the paladins was just a faΓ§ade.
There are not many paladins who really believe in Uther, and there are not many paladins who really still have faith.
At the beginning, he came into contact with Hayes, who was sophisticated, greedy and calculating, and made him feel that Hayes was already just an opportunist in the shell of a paladin.
Now, seeing Hayes so righteous and sonorous, even at the cost of his life to defend Uther's appearance, Robles naturally felt very surprised.
In a sentence in Robles's heart, to be a bitch is to build an archway, you don't believe in Uther yourself, but you are still making a look of defending Uther in front of people.
However, Robles did not pursue Hayes's offense too much, because he knew that the power of the church was extremely large, and although he was not afraid, he could not provoke such an enemy. Plus, he's pointing to Hayes to help him deal with the undead.
