Pietro brought three glasses of brown-red drinks, the mouths of which were covered with snow-white foam, which looked like beer, but the smell was as sweet as honey. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lyudmila asked Roland to bring the drinks back to her, and with a proud smile she introduced her friends to the local specialty fermented drink "kvass".

"In the mountains of Lucia, where men are generally addicted to spirits, this high-sugar, low-alcohol fermented drink is very popular with girls, Ronnie, Nikita, I highly recommend you to try it, you are guaranteed to like it."

Kvass is similar in color to beer but slightly red, with a fine frothy glow, a faint fermented sourness, and a hint of honey, which is very attractive.

As a mage, Nikita doesn't touch any fermented drinks in principle, but Lyudmila's enthusiasm reluctantly took a sip, and after tasting it, she smiled and said, "It's really delicious." ”

Miss Ninja was not so ladylike, she drank it dry in one gulp, burped loudly, slapped the oak cup on the table with a "bang", and shouted loudly, "Man! One more drink! ”

"Legend has it that Veres was the first to ferment kvass from leftover rye rusks, and later passed on the brewing techniques to the ancestors of the Northlanders, oh yes, Veres is our god of peace and prosperity in Kitland, and it used to be honored with furs, beer, and kvass in his honor, and no one seems to remember this poor old gentleman anymore." Lyudmila recounts the legend of Kvass, showing a hint of sympathy for the old gods who are withdrawing from people's spiritual life.

Girls are always so emotional, Veronica raised her glass and proposed: "Come, let's make a toast to the departed god of kvass!" ”

"Cheers!" The girls laughed and raised their glasses together.

Bloom is a loyal lover of alcohol, and he has a deep hatred for the heresy of Kvass, who is "dressed in the skin of fermented drinks and sugar soda in his bones", and he is also resentful of those girls who like Kvass, and his brows are furrowed and his face is serious: "I said that you guys, your attitude towards faith is too frivolous! What is Veres? It's just a guy who invented sugar water, so I won't toast him! My faith is only dedicated to the immortal 'Soul Breaker' Moradin, Brother Roland, and you don't raise a glass to praise gods other than Lady Sindra, do you? ”

Roland raised his glass and smiled slightly: "Then who is it for, Veres's words are not unavoidable, anyway, he does not conflict with my lord Sindra's priesthood, and it will not work if he is replaced by Mokesh and the like, this is a matter of principle." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the tavern was suddenly kicked open, and a group of people burst in murderously. The man at the head was dressed in inlaid leather armor, with a giant sword on his back, and half of his face was covered by a red mask, it was Oleg, the son of General Sergei.

Behind Oleg, a pair of contrasting men and women followed, the frost giant was so large that it almost broke through the door, it was the professional boxer Clark, and the sexy girl in a tight leather jacket with long burgundy curly hair next to him was his partner and agent Daria.

These two adventurers from the New World planned to make a name for themselves in the Kitland City Tournament, and as soon as they entered the city, they were favored by Oleg and recruited into their own team.

Daria and Clark are confused, but now they are eating on Oleg, and of course they have to follow their employer in to figure out what is going on.

"'Mokesh and the like'? Hehe, what a big breath! As soon as Oleg opened his mouth, he showed the cause of his anger, "Whoever just made a wild speech here to blaspheme my lord Mokesh, if there is a kind, get out of here!" ”

Roland propped his hands on the table and slowly got up.

Lyudmila hurriedly pressed his shoulder and eagerly dissuaded: "This guy is Sergei's son, and it is we who have suffered a lot in the matter, and we can't be as knowledgeable as him!" ”

Why doesn't Roland know the truth of "a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake"? Yet he was Sindra's chosen one, and in the eyes of a fanatic like Oleg, who had received the divine grace of Mokesh, he was as conspicuous as a flame in the night, and he could not and could not hide from this conflict of faith!

Oleg's gaze immediately turned towards him, and there was a murderous aura in his eyes.

"Your face...... It looks a little familiar, it seems that it appeared outside the city gate yesterday, hehe, no wonder I felt very depressed at the time, there was a disgusting smell of heresy in the air, it turned out to be a believer in the false god Sindra. ”

"I'm indeed a follower of Lady Sindra, so what do you want?" Roland asked quietly.

Oleg curled his thumb behind him, and his contempt overflowed: "The land blessed by Mokesh cannot be defiled by false gods, get out of my sight immediately!" ”

Roland also sneered: "My lord Sindra has powerful divine power, and believers are all over the world of Vares, how much divine power does your Mokesh have?" I'm afraid even the demigods are barely there, right? It's even more ridiculous to say 'the blessed land of Mokesh', I only see the glory of Kord shining on Kitland from morning to night, but I have never seen the evil god in your mouth bestow even the lowest divine spell on the believers, and the dry bones in the mound, where do you have the courage to compete with my lord for the divine power of fate! ”

His words were sharp and clear, and as soon as he said them, he completely offended all the Mokesh believers in Kitland City, and the onlookers couldn't help but exclaim in unison.

In fact, there aren't many true Mokesh believers in Kitland City. As Roland pointed out, most people are selfish when it comes to faith, and if you want people to worship God, people must first ask you what benefits you can get by worshipping God, and who will do what is not beneficial?

On Earth, the dominant religion promises the goodness of heaven or the blessings of the afterlife to capture believers; However, in Vares, where magic manifests in the world, this set of illusory rhetoric alone cannot win faith, because there are beings here that can bestow believers with divine grace and divine magic, and they can allow believers to obtain real transcendent power in this world and not after death, this power can directly change your life.

In fact, everyone understands this simple truth, but they are afraid of the obscenity of Sergei and his son, and they dare not publicize it publicly, and of course they convert to Kode in private. The Mokesh Temple was deserted and the Great Shrine of Kod was thriving, which is the result of people voting with their feet.

Now Roland, an outsider, stood up and uncovered the scars on the hearts of Mokesh's followers in public, exposing bloody wounds, like saying "the emperor's new clothes" in one sentence, not to mention that Oleg's face couldn't hang it, and the onlookers also secretly gasped, not only admiring Roland's courage in insisting on his beliefs, but also pinching a cold sweat for him.

When it comes to this, there is no room for compromise between the two sides. Oleg stared coldly at Roland, his right hand reaching behind his back, gripping the hilt of his sword. (To be continued.) )
