Chapter 53: Hatred and Reason

"It's them." Acoste secretly clenched his fists and lowered his head and muttered to himself, the ruined Tuke Town, the dead Curry, Will and Paul, and the hideous demons, those scenes from not long ago flashed in Acoste's mind like a slide, and an indescribable anger erupted, Acoste's eyes were bloodshot when he looked up again, and Ling was so frightened that Ling quickly grabbed Acoste, for fear that he would do something stupid.

However, when Acoste turned his head and looked at Ling, Ling couldn't help but shudder, and an indescribable murderous aura locked on herself, Ling felt that she was being targeted by some kind of desolate beast, but Ling still grabbed Acoste's wrist and didn't let go, she was frightened back half a step and then stared back with her apricot eyes, and her red lips opened lightly and said something that made Acoste wake up immediately.

"Think of Lavis."

The fury in Yacoste's eyes gradually dissipated, although the bloodshot in his eyes was already terrifying, he looked at his sister standing beside him, and his sister was also looking at him with worried eyes, Yacoste's endless anger at that moment immediately subsided, he knew that if he rushed in rashly, with his current strength, he would not be able to rush into the gorgeous magic tent in the center at all, not only would he be killed by the dense black knights and bipedal wyverns outside, Even his sister and teammates will be 100% affected and die here.

"Let's go" Yacoste's voice was a little hoarse, what he cherished most in addition to his sister was the brother who grew up as a childhood playmate and the homeland where he grew up and carried the memory, and now seeing that the enemy was close to him, but he had no ability to take revenge, Yacoste felt very uncomfortable, as a warrior, a feeling of powerlessness grew from the bottom of his heart. For the first time, he had doubts about his own strength, and this was born from the demons in his heart, if Acoste could not kill the enemy in the future, then his warriors would inevitably run into a bottleneck, and conversely, if he could succeed in revenge, then he would also get unexpected benefits.

"Accept the mission - the blood of the enemy!

You have discovered the culprit who destroyed your precious memories and companions, and you must kill them with your own hands to let go of the baggage hidden deep inside, whether it is an evil mage or a lich, a demon from the abyss or a devil from hell, but it doesn't make a difference to you, the enemy must die!

Mission Time - Unlimited, Mission Reward - 1 Specialty Point, 1 Attribute Point, Failure to Complete Penalty - Cannot be promoted to Legendary. ”

This is the first task that Acoste has given since discovering that mysterious system, and it is a forced acceptance, but Acoste doesn't feel anything wrong, because if he can't cross this hurdle in his heart, then even if he forcibly advances to the legend in the future, he will go crazy. As for the punishment that cannot be completed, it is even more indifferent for Acoste, he can either kill the enemy or die at the hands of the enemy, which is the fate of all warriors.

The group returned the same way as they had sneaked into, and they did not encounter any accidents along the way, and everyone successfully climbed out of the low wall, and then ran out of the Thousand Needles Forest without looking back.

"What do we do now?" Ling frowned at this time, even if she was playful, she obviously realized that the power of evil this time was beyond imagination, not to mention a few of herself, even if she used the power of the entire West Hartland region, it might not be even.

"Let's go to the Temple of Justice!" Acoste didn't think about it, he knew both the Bishop of the Temple in Belgost, and the fighting power he showed in that battle won the respect of all the priests, if Acoste was now in the game in his previous life, then he and the Temple's prestige had reached a friendly level.

The Temple of Justice is the largest temple in the town of Belgost, located in the middle of Belgost, even if it is late at night, you can see the brightly lit Temple of Justice, Yacoste They walked to the door after a while, the two paladins stationed outside the temple door saw Yacoste, and immediately trotted over and saluted Yacoste, they were people who participated in the battle of Tuketown, Yacoste's final head-to-head blow with the berserker demon was too moving, Yacoste waved his hand casually and said hello, They hurried to Bishop Boggs, and one of the paladins saw Acoste's grim expression and knew that the other party must have come because of something very serious, so he ran into the temple without saying a word, while the others also entered the main hall of the temple with the help of another paladin.

The tall and mighty statue of Tyr is placed in the center of the main hall, and the statue is made of white marble as a whole, with a faint golden light attached to it, which looks like a sense of majesty and sacredness, but the only discordant place about this statue is that Tyr has a broken arm, Ling is very curious, although Tyre's teachings have not spread in the Eastern Continent, but there is also a temple in Karatu, she has never seen a god who will make his ugly appearance of his severed hand into a statue to display to the public, So Ling, who turned into a curious baby, became entangled with Acoste.

Acoste groaned for a moment, he really knew the allusion, and legend has it that it was because the god of justice was bitten off by the other party during a battle with the Chaos Demon Dog Kozf, also known as the Heavenly Marauder, this dog specializes in devouring the souls of the gods (invokers). The souls that are consumed by it will be completely destroyed, and even the divine power will not be able to save these souls. Later, Faeron's High God Council [composed of gods all of whom are powerful human gods] was sealed in the Void of Darkness at the cost of Tyr's left hand, and due to some of the power in Kozv's body, even Tyr, who was a powerful god, could not use his divine power to restore his severed hand, so the name of the disabled god gradually spread outside. This is what Acoste saw in his previous life in the Candlefort located not far from Baldur's Gate, which claims to be the largest library on the continent of Faeron, but the price of entering is a bit high, that is, an ancient book of value can be used as a ticket.

Seeing that Acoste slowly returned to her usual appearance, Ling also put her mind at ease and secretly grimaced at Lavis, she didn't ask Acoste these boring questions out of curiosity, it was purely to adjust Acoste's mentality, and Lavis saw that the murderous aura in Acoste's eyes gradually dissipated, and a small heart that had been hanging was also put down.

Yacoste is not ignorant, of course he saw Ling's small movements that he thought were very hidden, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth, he knew that his teammates were worried about his safety, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, just when Yacoste wanted to say something, Bishop Boggs appeared in the main hall, Yacoste had to temporarily put aside the small emotion in his heart and greeted the old man.

"What did you say!" After listening to all of Acoste's explanations, Boggs couldn't help but show a suspicious look on his face, although he used the magic technique of detecting lies from beginning to end, but the content of Acoster was still a bit shocking, right under his nose, there would be hundreds of ogres, trolls, goblins, jackals, lizardmen composed of an army, as well as tamed bipedal wyverns and mysterious black knights whose strength was no less than that of the second order, and the most important thing was that there were demons inside, Of course, there may also be undead creatures that don't show their faces. Oh my God, after listening to this, the old bishop felt that his hair that was already almost bald had fallen out a few more, if it weren't for the influence that Acoste had on himself, and the magic kept reminding him that the other party was not lying, Boggs would have ordered this "gossip confusing the public" person to be kicked out.

"I am right, Bishop Boggs, and I am willing to guarantee the certainty of this matter with my soul!" Acoster naturally saw Boggs's entanglement, and he couldn't help but swear a heavy oath to himself, although they didn't find out what the other party's plan was, but such a big move was definitely very big, if it was a little time in the evening, it was difficult for Acoste to imagine what would happen.

"I see, I'll gather all the temples in Belgoust overnight, and send the news to Baldur's Gate now, you can go to the temple and rest now, if you have a mirror, you can see the dark circles on your faces." Boggs, who was assured by Acoste, also made up his mind, but he also had a rare humor and teased Acoste and the others, since this morning they have been on a fearful adventure, and at this moment everyone is relying on their will to prevent themselves from sleeping, otherwise they can snore directly on the floor of the hall once they relax.

"Then we're welcome." Acoste thanked him, and followed a paladin into the rest area inside the temple, he had calmed down sufficiently, knowing that revenge was definitely not an overnight thing, even for the sake of his teammates and sister, he had to hide this hatred in his heart again, instead of venting it and letting it go to destruction with blood-colored frost.
