Chapter 141: The Emissaries
Shepard pondered for a moment and said lightly: "See, take them to the meeting room, I'll be there later." ”
He gave instructions on the documents handed over by the town hall and the College of Cardinals, and then left the study and went to the drawing room, where the messengers and messengers waited nervously when the retinue led him in.
Shepard looked at the messenger with an easy-going smile: "It's Baron Penman's little Nari, how can your father, who is not as bold as a woman, willing to let you join Freeman's convoy and still let you be a messenger?" ”
Nashures saluted competently and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it was I myself who asked to join the militia recruited in the city of Ahagul, and later some members of the militia were selected to the trading point of Longor, and I was among them, and then the knight of Arsa asked the quasi-knight of Freeman to choose some followers, and he picked me up." ”
Shepard smiled when he heard this, and said with some surprise: "There is such a coincidence, is your father's health okay?" ”
Nashurius reverently said, "Thanks to the grace of the light, my father is in good health and has gained a lot of weight. ”
Shepard suddenly laughed: "Fat? He couldn't help but think of the timid but good-hearted former mayor of Ahagul, who had once worn animal skins and bare-chested breasts, and the rude impression of him later dressed in tight sackcloth had been replaced by the image of him in tight linen clothes, and since he had taken back the management of the territory of the three Mufasa, all three of them had stayed in their own territory honestly, and rarely appeared again except for the last ceremony to reward Nokhan.
Maybe the three of them should be summoned to meet each other, just to hold a banquet, to see if they can be cultivated now, well, just right, just wait for the end of the joint examination to entertain the outstanding people selected together, and then call Nokhan, now the official fiefdom nobles in the kingdom are only the four of them. ’
His mind changed, but Shepard only smiled kindly: "Yes, you are much better than your father, what kind of news do you need to report this time?" ”
Nashures knelt down on one knee neatly, gave a military salute and said aloud, "Your Majesty! Captain Nashuris, Task Force 2 of the Kingdom West, reports back to you! Offering my endless devotion to the light! The Maclay people are now entrenched in Maclay City, and most of the territory of the Maclay Kingdom is almost out of control, but except for Canteco City, which is jointly controlled by the [Beacon of Freedom] and the six vassal races, the rest of the towns have their own vassal races rebellion, and the situation is very chaotic. ”
"Although the Makere people suffered heavy losses in the sneak attack and invasion, their roots are still there, relying on thousands of clansmen to still control the twenty or thirty thousand slaves and vassal races in the city of Makere, and the invading army has not moved further south, and even abandoned part of the territory of the original Tatos tribe."
"Captain Freman and Temporary Flag Bearer of the Kingdom has ordered me to come back and report to you about the situation, and to lead these emissaries to bring the will of Canteco City."
Nashures stood up and stepped away, raising his hand to signal to the nine emissaries of all races behind him, one of whom was a tall minotaur knight with a holy aura, rough but durable armor, and a totem pole on his back, none other than Thom, whose original silver ring on his nose had now turned into a gold ring, and even a milky pearl that belonged to a gemstone recognized by the Church.
Nashures did not squint, and introduced in a clear and loud voice: "The messenger of the Thunder Tribe, the priest of the accompanying team has confirmed, that it is indeed the Minotaur Knight of my Lord Paladin, Thom, and the Silver Ring Warrior Kroon - he is the second son of the chief of the Thunder Tribe, Gun, and a follower of my lord. ”
Before Nashurius could continue his introduction, two tall minotaur warriors who had been waiting impatiently had already walked over, their broad bodies saluting reverently and respectfully, and the minotaur's voice with a thick nasal voice sounded: "[Daywalker] Tom (Silver-Ringed Warrior Kroon), pay your respects to my lord's spokesman on earth!" The light is with you! ”
Shepard laughed, "The light illuminates your path, welcome two warriors to the sacred land promised by my Lord, Knight Thom, I heard your name from Thorpe, but what does [Daywalker] mean?" ”
Although the minotaur is honest but not stupid, Tom said calmly: "Your Majesty, in the ancient tradition of my clan, there is a profession that uses totem poles to borrow the power of nature, but it has different names because of the borrowing of different powers, since I received the divine grace bestowed by my lord, I not only have the qualification of a paladin, but also can borrow the power of the sun because of the grace of my lord. ”
Although the doppelganger used Shepard's real name when he first walked the Macray Kingdom, who would take such a trivial matter seriously now, but it was the source of this profession that reminded Shepard of someone, and suddenly smiled: "Then aren't you very close to that little guy from Freeman?" He created his own [Sun Knight] class. ”
Croon on the side shook the silver ring on his nose and said in a muffled voice, "Your Majesty, Thom has already fought with that young knight. ”
Thom explained, "I didn't know that we were all believers in my lord, so when we first met, we all thought that the other party was a heretic......
This misunderstanding was a bit embarrassing, and it was not mentioned in Freeman's report, and Shepard naturally just laughed it off, and let Nashurith continue to introduce the others.
Nashurith swiped his hand in a circle and was about to introduce, when the remaining three tigers and five humans had already taken the initiative to salute, but looking at the etiquette, Shepard raised his eyebrows inadvertently.
Because three of the three tiger people and three of the five humans used the etiquette of the believers of the Church of Light to meet the Pope, and the remaining two humans used the etiquette of ordinary messengers, so what the meaning of this difference is, it is naturally unknown to ask.
Nashures was young after all, and he didn't notice this, but happily introduced: "These three tiger people are the three warriors of the 'Sandland' tribe, [Shadow Claw] Lomonger, [Flame Whip] Monroor, and [Poisonous Fang] Walter. ”
Shepard looked around, the three tiger men did indeed call their respective nicknames, Romung's face was gloomy, and the power of the shadows surrounding him was clearly seen in the eyes of the true god, and under the furry appearance was the sharp edge of the shadows; And Monlore's tail was extremely long, and a faint fire elemental power loomed over him, and the steel whip-like tail was the most active around it; Walter looked like an ordinary meow, but his black robe looked very strange, and Shepard could recognize it as a symbol of his status as a shaman in the tribe, and many of the tribes in Draenor were often associated with poison.
Two of the three tigermen have awakened the power of the bloodline, and the battle positions of the tiger tribe are quite chaotic, so that there is no clear occupation, but only relying on the power of the bloodline of the two, coupled with the attributes of not losing the high-level profession, they are also the backbone of the high-level combat power in the Dawn Kingdom, and the remaining Walter, although he is a tribal shaman, is also respectful and humble in the face of the spokesperson of the God of Light on the ground.
"I see in you humility and devotion to our Lord, Lomongues, Monlore, Walter, the glory of our Lord will protect you from life until you enter the kingdom of our Lord by piety."
Shepard opened his mouth gently, with a faint smile of kindness, but he couldn't help but have some doubts when he looked at Walter, because in the connection between God and believers, he clearly realized that Walter was also his own believer.
However, now that he is not far from the medium divine power, it is no longer suitable for him to look through the brains of believers as before, too strong divine power can easily brainwash believers into fanatics, although that can provide more faith power than true believers, but in fact, fanatics are thousands of miles away from saints, and every fanatical believer makes his Lord God love and suffer.
His Majesty the Pope had doubts, and naturally someone took the initiative to explain without using other means, Walter knelt down on one knee, his tail behind him curled up on his leg a little nervously, and said in fear: "Your Majesty! Walter confesses to my lord before you, my family has been a tribal witch doctor for generations, and I have volunteered to join my lord because I feel the glory of my lord, but my father and grandfather are proud to be a witch doctor, and I can't bear to abandon this status for their sake......"
Shepard smiled slightly, looked around at the others, and said aloud: "You are far away in Makere, and you have not read the new edition of the Holy Book in the Kingdom, and if you have read it, know that my Lord has a teaching: 'Let your family believe in me, for they have not yet been protected by me; Believe in me your friends, for they have not yet received my glory. Believe your enemies in me, for they do not yet know my forbearance. This passage is from Canon 3:2, which is the mercy and forgiveness of our Lord. ”
He stretched out his hand and touched the top of Walter's head, comforting him kindly and forgivingly: "Walter, you are a believer in my Lord, and you must take the glory of my Lord as the glory of this life, and do not forget this heart, you are a devout disciple of my Lord." ”
"Do not be compelled by the wishes of your father and grandfather, for our Lord has taught: 'He who does not love his father or mother does not know how to love me; He who does not love his wife does not know how to love me. 'If you cannot love your blood kinsman, how can you love my lord with all your heart?' Know that your life comes from your parents, but your souls will return to the Lord, so rejoice in the will of your father and grandfather, and bring them to the glory of the Lord, that our Lord may protect their souls, and if you do, you will be worthy of the church of our Lord. ”
The divine and gentle light shone into the room, and all the faces were moved and joyed by the glory of God, and Walter was even more unbearable, and wept bitterly: "Your Majesty, please allow me to buy a copy of the Holy Book later, and listen to my Lord's church at all times!" ”
Shepard smiled and said, "You don't have to buy it, you are a believer of my Lord, go to any temple in the church city, as long as you are religious, the presiding priest of the temple will give you a copy of the Holy Book, but you need to remember that this Holy Book has the word of the Lord, you should love it as your eyes, if you love it as your eyes, it will protect you like your eyes." ”
"If you have doubts, my Lord has a teaching: Mortals are always ignorant, so ask your guide or the priest for clarification, and do not speculate, lest you fall into evil."
Shepard looked at the others, and his smile was still the same: "You wait, whoever is pious, the messengers of my lord will give the Holy Scriptures, but those who are greedy will be punished!" The implication is that one copy per person, if you are greedy and want to impersonate yourself and then take it, you will bear the consequences.
Shepard smiled faintly, but how did those devout believers know that all the "Holy Scriptures" of the church were imposed by the priests under his command with a special magic - [Light Seal], only devout believers can respond to this mark, and as long as the believers pray every day, they can maintain the existence of the divine magic, so that they mark each other, so that someone can avoid someone from claiming it, so the person who receives the book must at least be a true believer.
But if the believer's faith falls, the seal will immediately spontaneously combust and burn the Holy Book to ashes, which will be a miracle that will shock the believer.
In addition to the seal, there is also a hidden divine magic array in each holy text, which is studied by Shepard and a group of special priests of the Church of Light under his command for nearly a year, and finally researched after obtaining the holy scepter.
Relying on the issuance of these holy scriptures, the number of existing orthodox believers in the Dawn Kingdom has increased by one-third, and in another year at most, the population of the kingdom is approaching 30,000, and one-third of them will become his orthodox, plus the believers in the Makere Kingdom and the Ptolemaic Kingdom, he can become a god with medium divine power, but at that time, the main body will have to leave the main plane to open up the kingdom of God in the outer realm, and hand over all the humane evolution to the clones and believers.
The Tiger Man and the Minotaur stepped aside, and the humans finally had a chance to face the supreme ruler of the kingdom, five humans from each of the four vassal races of Cantaico City and the Beacon of Freedom, representing the messengers of the rebellious slaves, who happened to be the Grim that Shepard was familiar with.
As Lucian's earliest confidant, Graham is no longer the same as he was thirty and fifty years old, although his hair is still gray, his face is ruddy, and his body is much stronger, and he is no longer an ordinary person, but has the strength of a low-level combat position.
The remaining four people are also similar, the highest one is only the peak of the intermediate combat position, so a comparison, you can see the disadvantages of the human race, the human race has always relied on the population base and the number of strong people piled up, to maintain the weight of the entire race on the continental stage.
