Chapter Ninety-Three: Truth
The Kunali, who had always been known for their "ruthlessness", turned out to be disdainful of the inferior behavior of human beings, which was almost a shame to everyone present. Albert was even better as a mage, and Lilith was already blushing, and subconsciously looked up at Green, hoping that this kind and upright Mr. Knight would be able to save the girl who was in trouble.
But to her surprise, Green was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shook her head.
"Asa, I remember that in the teachings of Kun Sect, there is no distinction between good and evil, and although your code of conduct is very different, since you have the same respect for Luna as the head of the god, there should be no difference in the original cognition. Although many people in the world mistakenly think that you Kunali are cold and insensitive, I understand that it is only because there are very few outliers in your race who are contrary to the doctrine, and although it is a strict and rigid social system, there is an incredible rarity of evil, and I am deeply admired for that. ”
"So, if you have to do it when sin is right in front of you, and the difference is one big and one small, how will you behave? The lesser of two evils? ”
The silence of Commander Kunali has already responded to Green's question.
"Killing innocents may be a great evil, bullying the weak is a small evil, but no matter how big the evil is or smaller, evil is evil, there is no difference." His voice was very clear, not only the three people behind him, but even the aristocratic private soldiers who had committed atrocities to the little girl stopped their hands and looked at Green in amazement, "It is evil to ignore the weak, it is also evil to help the abuse, and indiscriminate is even more evil." The Kunali people spurn the inferior deeds, and in the end they have to weigh the pros and cons, but no matter how big or small. If I had to choose one of them, I'd rather have none. ”
He suddenly rolled over and dismounted. The action was so fierce that the nearest aristocratic private soldier was suffocated for a moment.
"If you can find out what evil is, there is always a way to find a third way."
Green walked towards several men in front of him. Walk smoothly along.
"Get rid of evil."
Mr. Green, he—he really made a move!
Lilith clasped her hands in front of her chest, her eyes sparkled, looking at Green's back, and for a moment she only felt that this was the most handsome person in the world.
"Dare to ask your Excellency ......?"
The leader of the private army watched Grimm's steps, his eyes noticed his neat aristocratic attire and the murderous weapon on his waist that was clearly different from the sword that adorned it, and then looked up to see the three behind him. Lilith looked like a lady, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but Albert behind him, with his classic outfit looking like a mage, and Acesis, disguised as a strong human man, was too physical. The average nobleman travels, there will always be an entourage to accompany them, often the higher the title, the more guards to follow, but it is not without exception, some big nobles often have few retinues around. But each of them is a strong hand, just like the young son of the old director of the family he is loyal to, he is used to bringing only one cronie when he travels, but he is a top swordsman with sixth-order strength.
So he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. Turning around and walking over, it was honorific trying to identify him, but he didn't think that Green didn't even look at him, and suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist-
"What are you going to do!?"
The voice of the leader of the private army was not stopped. The flame dragon on the blade of the sword suddenly rose, and Green was expressionless. A sword flung behind the leader of the private army, "Kill the monster." ”
The dragon roared. A heat wave swept in.
Just before that tiny finger was about to break the throat bone of the person in front of him-
A strange cry that was not like a human voice sounded in a hurry at the moment when the flame blade was cut down, and the noble private soldiers who fell to the ground in horror heard the terrified roar very clearly in the next moment:
"Ya Di Meng!"
Behind this roar, the truth was revealed under the heat wave of the scorching flames, but it made everyone, including Albert and Assessis, exclaim in surprise.
"Sure enough, the previous few times, you couldn't hold it back by yourself, and just now I suddenly felt something, I thought it was an illusion-"
"-- The Pretender."
Dressed in a noble trench coat with white lines on a black background, and holding a long sword that was still burning in his hand with white gloves, Green looked like an elegant aristocratic young man at this moment, and the indifferent contempt on his face was indescribably charming.
And the little girl who was on all fours in front of him, nay, the mummified disguiser in front of him, cowered back in horror until she hit the tree behind her, and then suddenly stopped, lowered her body and stared at Grimm.
"W-What is that?" Lilith opened her mouth in surprise, almost filling an egg.
Green, who thought he was going to stop the atrocities, didn't expect to attack the object of the "violence", and the originally pitiful weak man turned into a monster with a strange body in an instant, such a development of events is really unexpected, not to mention him, even Assesis has round eyes, not to mention Albert.
"Were you ordered to arrest it?" Green opened his mouth to ask the captain of the private army beside him, and he was stunned for a moment before turning his head in shock, "You—What did you just say?" ”
Green stared at the impostor and repeated the question.
"No, my lord, when we were on a routine tour, we received a report from a merchant who traded in the necessaries of life with this village, saying that evil rituals were held in the village, and when we arrived here, this little girl ...... "The captain of the private army hesitated for a moment, and chose a more appropriate name"...... Stuff, hiding, hiding, that's why we arrested her for interrogation. ”
"I see, it's really hard for you."
Green nodded, and the flame shadow in his hand gracefully pulled a sword flower, "Please leave it to me next." ”
The leader of the private army nodded hurriedly, wishing that Green would take over. He was just a patrol guard, and he couldn't play in the previous war, and he rarely even saw monsters in his life. But at this moment, the girl who was still being held by himself a second ago suddenly turned into a monster, and he wanted to get away from here and escape as far away as possible, as soon as Green spoke, he was so grateful that he had to open his mouth to praise.
"So, then, the 'young' pretender, I know you can speak human words, before you die. Is there anything you'd like to say? ”
Green approached step by step, his eyes glancing at the village not far away, consciously or unconsciously. The threatened pretender immediately screamed and curled back. But it was blocked by the trunk of the tree, and it had no way to retreat, so it simply climbed up the tree with its hands and feet.
"Oh? Want to escape? ”
The boy shook his head in disappointment, the flame shadow in his hand lifted straight up, and then stood there motionless.
"That's a shame."
Flutter -
After executing the pretender who had been presented as a young girl to gain sympathy, Green opened the system log to see the list of tasks that hadn't changed in a long time.
Quest Name: The Vocation of the Holy Messenger (1/3)
Task Type: Achievement Mission
Requirements: Eliminate 10 Pretenders in the main and secondary planes of the world of Knodia. [Completion (4/10)]
Reward: Raise any main attribute by one energy level
[When I found out that he was a pretender, I cut off his head]
The task of eradicating the pretenders has finally made some progress. Green smiled. Speaking of which, this quest system is quite low, since leaving Deadwood City, Green doesn't seem to have been able to trigger a new quest, and if it weren't for the chance encounter with a pretender in Qishand, he would have almost forgotten about it. Although I don't know the trigger conditions of the task very well, maybe it has something to do with character - but the boy quickly snorted three times in a row, crossing through rebirth or something, he is simply the emperor of character, how can he be unlucky.
As for the so-called holy envoy - Ya Di Meng. Green also has some speculation about the name in the list of names, and if it is based on the perspective of game development in his previous life, it may be transliterated in English. The pretender is obviously not a good type, in a certain way. Green's analysis is accurate.
"Your Highness is really a good eyesight, you can recognize that kind of 'prehistoric monster' at a glance."
Albert's voice interrupted Green's thoughts, and the Servant Mage had a proud expression in front of his privates. Turned around and immediately whispered beside Green. He was the first person after Green to recognize the identity of the Pretender, which inevitably led Green to speculate about his identity.
As everyone knows. The pretender and the apostle are similar in nature, both originating from the chaotic demon god and demon Haikusu who destroyed the world of miè. And the Doomsday that took place for a total of hundreds of years, until the Three Emperors of the Sages established the kingdom of gold, silver and bronze respectively after the Defector War, the Doomsday finally ended and entered the new calendar year, so Albert was able to recognize the Pretender, and his origin is worth pondering.
"You know a lot, Al." Green glanced meaningfully at his servant.
"Where, Your Highness has a good reputation, and being well-informed is what an excellent mage should have." Albert replied with a smile, the expression on his face showing no flaws, "But then again, your last sword is so beautiful, it looks like the pretender himself has pounced on him to find his death, did you use a [navigation arrow]?" ”
Green snorted and nodded, this guy was very sharp. In order to show his power, he deliberately threw the navigation arrow at the pretender's feet, directing it directly towards the end of his sword, as if the pretender had miraculously committed suicide. Although there is a suspicion of zhuangbility, but at least the effect is good, and the noble private soldiers who hesitate to step forward in the back are the best proof.
"Your Highness's aristocratic posture is quite decent." Receiving Green's acknowledgement, Albert suddenly got a little carried away and joked with a hippie smile.
"Each other, each other."
The boy rolled his eyes.
"Mr. Greene is really ...... It's amazing, I thought it was a poor little girl, but I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect it to be the legendary pretender, and it was terrible to think that people of that era would have to go through such a test. ”
Lilith followed Grimm, still looking apprehensive. When Green dismounted, she had already imagined that after Green had dealt with the girl, she would be comforted by herself in her arms, and now that she recalled it, the thought made her shudder.
"Indeed, the people at that time were full of suspicion and distrust, and it was really difficult for the whole social system to survive without collapsing." Green nodded with emotion, he suddenly felt lucky, thanks to the new calendar that he had traveled to, if he really sent him to the era of the Doomsday, maybe as soon as he stood up, he would be beheaded directly as a pretender.
At this time, their group, together with the noble private soldiers, were returning to the village just now, and they happened to return to the end of the village while talking.
"Lord Greenfield, let's go back like this, won't we...... Dangerous, huh? As he walked further into the village, the captain of the private army finally mustered up his courage and walked over and said cautiously, "I mean, you are of noble status, and if we were to be entangled by these lowly and dangerous fellows, we would not be ......?"
The words of the private captain behind him were stopped by Green waving his hand.
"Don't worry, the village can't be full of pretenders." Of course, this is not a consolation word, if this is really the pretender's lair, Green would have found out when he passed Guò before.
But then again, just outside his future territory, in such a barren village, it is very likely that there are a large number of pretenders hidden, and for a while Green looked at Albert a little unkindly.
The Black Wizard wiped his sweat frequently.
"Asses."
Commander Kunali walked out with a heavy face, ashamed of his hasty transgression, and ashamed of his presumptuous conclusion without seeing the truth, and now he hoped to wash away the guilt from his body with action.
Seeing his guilt, Green snickered inwardly, raised his hand in front of him to open the pet space, and summoned the Kunali Broken Sword Guard, who had recovered to full capacity.
"I'll leave it to you."
Assesis bowed deeply to him, then slammed the dragon's spine in his hand, "Antaam-"
“Shok!!” (To be continued......)
