Chapter 216: Recognition & Duty
During the time when Shepard was fighting with the killing machine, the other cultists were also killed by the watchers, and only three or three escaped by chance, and the watchers did not continue to chase and kill, but had a tacit understanding to surround the killing machine.
Shepard grinned and gave a thumbs up to the watchers: "Although we are not a family, I respect your persistence, if you let this group out, I don't know how many people will be killed." ”
The watchers bowed slightly in response, but remained silent.
Shepard didn't care about them, but just said to himself: "Organized and powerful, with a clear goal and a strong will...... Why hadn't you heard of such an internationalist organization to fight evil and eliminate evil in your previous life? ”
The four of them besieged, and there was no chance that the cultist leader's alienated killing machine would survive, but just as Shepard was about to make the final blow, a majestic voice full of momentum suddenly sounded over the entire dock area.
"My Lord says, In the face of justice, evil has nothing to hide!"
An overwhelming aura enveloped the entire area, and all the fleeing cultists, regardless of their strength, were covered in black smoke, screaming and rolling to the ground, and the sound of neat and powerful steps sounded, and knights, samurai, and guards wearing temple insignia quickly surrounded them from all intersections.
"[Spirituality]? The bishop of the God of Justice is really fighting! Shepard was surprised, the base camp of the Church of the God of Justice is not in the Gate of Baldur, but as one of the few megacities on the mainland that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, the bishops arranged here by the Church of the God of Justice are second only to the Pope of the headquarters in terms of strength and status.
The three watchers stopped and looked at Shepard, one of whom finally said the first sentence since they met, but his voice was surprisingly old: "Your Excellency, this is over to you." ”
As soon as the words fell, the three of them rushed to the roof of the side with a tacit understanding, and stepped on the roof with a sensitive movement and disappeared quickly like an ape.
"Hey!" Shepard paused for a moment, it was too late to stop it, but looking at the force of the church that was still a few streets away, and the killing machine that only had one breath left in front of him, he gestured to the sky and gave a middle finger: "I feel sorry for the resources of my subordinates and I am reluctant to have the strength to clear them, and now I see that others are about to succeed and run out to pick peaches?" I want to sacrifice this thing for benefits and don't want to pay the price, although you did nothing wrong, and I did it too, but since I bumped into it, then your idea is to dream! ”
With a swing of the greatsword, there was a splash of bodily fluids, and the killing machine was split diagonally by Shepard, and then a fire ignited out of thin air, and the fire of purification quickly burned the corpse to ashes without reason, leaving only the strange-shaped dagger to refract fire in the ashes.
Shepard picked up the dagger and glanced at it, then threw it into the half-plane along with the greatsword, then put the hood over his head, and with his head down, he ran straight for the merchant ship.
He didn't even have time to look at the ship, so he urged his men to hurry up, and the people who had been waiting for a long time did not dare to delay, and sailed the merchant ship away from the dock, mixed with the other ships that left the dock without any abnormality, and left the huge city without hesitation.
……
[Scarlet Dagger (delicate dagger), the God of Killing once reserved a lot of means for his resurrection, but hundreds of years after the chaotic era, his hope of resurrection is still slim, and this quasi-artifact that can absorb the essence of life that died under the dagger is already his last hope. 】
The sea breeze was refreshing and powerful, but it was a pity to be paralyzed after blowing for a long time, but fortunately, Shepard was not a mortal, even if he stood on the bow of the ship and blew for a day and a night, it was not a big deal.
Krell Guardian, the person in charge of this trade journey, walked up to Shepard and hesitated: "My lord, leaving the dock suddenly, let us buy less than 30% of the goods......
Shepard squinted his eyes and enjoyed the refreshing sea breeze under the blue sky and white clouds, looked at the big white bird rising and falling on the sea surface in the distance, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the purpose of this trip is not to make money." ”
Krell nodded, and then hesitated, "My lord, that maid of yours has arranged to live next door to your room, but may I ask what happened......
"It's just some cultists," Shepard replied lightly, "but I see that the archers of the city guard are starting to rush to the docks, fearing that they will blockade the port and not allow us to enter or leave, so it is better to lose some goods than to leave as soon as possible." ”
Seeing Shepard's careless answer, Krell knew in his heart that there would be no answer to any more questions, so he had to bow and retreat.
The green dragon Takuralk was surprisingly not left behind, in fact, the dragon felt that the cramped environment was too uncomfortable for him after walking around the city, but it was not easy to run to find a spacious place outside the city, so he had to return to the ship and lie in the hammock on the deck to blow the wind, only to catch the merchant ship and depart early.
"The owner...... Before you came back, the divine fluctuations that erupted in the dock area were very similar to [Speech and Spirituality], could it be that you caused something? The green dragon asked with interest.
Shepard glanced at him and said casually, "Oh, I just scolded the God of Justice a few words, and that spiritual technique was not for me." ”
The green dragon's expression crossed: "Boss, are you kidding me?" Are you scolding the god of justice at Baldur's Gate? Why didn't there be thunder from the sky to kill you, since the killing incarnation of the year, as soon as any blasphemous words come out of this place, divine punishment will appear immediately! ”
Shepard said calmly: "He can't detect that I'm scolding him, so naturally there will be no divine punishment." ”
The green dragon made a gesture of praise from a human: "You're still good." ”
……
Sevenfold Heavenly Mountain.
In the Kingdom of Light, the main body gazes at the godhead in the body that has sublimated from four sides to seven sides, each side represents a corresponding transcendent divine power, and the seven different mysterious runes contain extremely rich information.
There was silence for a long time, and a low voice echoed in the temple: "Imprisonment and estrangement...... There is a slight weakening of the almost imperceptible, this is useless, but it is real, whether it is the gods of God or the will of the continent of the Old World manipulating behind the scenes, there is no doubt that they are still observing the actions of the gods......"
"It's a worthwhile experiment...... Killing the cult will only silence them for a while, but destroying an activated sacrificial altar is like cutting off an abyss's interface to the main plane...... The duties of the gods, the competition between the gods, have only brought everyone to their knees. ”
"The misfortune of the people of the Old World, but for me it was an opportunity...... Let the underground church of Prell's territory expand the faith, and start hunting down the filthy ones, and use their souls and blood to win the approval of mortals and the continent, which will help to make my god name officially sung in the Old Continent one day in the future! ”
