Chapter 1658: Divine Punishment
When Li Huailin came to the main city, the scene was already a little chaotic, and the atmosphere in the main city looked a little tense, because there were a lot fewer NPCs on the road all of a sudden, and it seemed that Anthony had issued martial law. There are more than 100,000 believers over there, and the royal guards are not enough to deal with them, and of course there is no way to maintain order, so they can only let irrelevant people stay at home, but even this still does not make the main city a little more peaceful, because the main city is a place where players gather after all, and now the NPCs are all gone, but the players are still walking around, and everyone seems to have received the news that something big is going to happen, and they are looking around for somewhere to watch the show.
Of course, Tilro took Li Huailin and walked directly towards the temple, and on the way, Li Huailin met the troops of the Royal Guard who received the news and came to greet him, and the leader happened to be Delnat.
"Where's Anthony?" Li Huailin asked as he walked.
"Your Majesty is still there." Delnat on this side immediately replied, "At least more than 120,000 people have gathered at the gate of the temple now, and I heard that there are still people coming here, and 15,000 people from 7 squads of the Royal Guard have all been dispatched, but the situation is still not stable." ”
"Can't stabilize the situation?" Li Huailin asked, "Is there any problem?" ”
"The believers over there are still in a stable mood, although there are a lot of people gathered, but it is obvious that they have no intention of gathering to rebel, but those adventurers ...... It's too chaotic, now there are at least five squads out of the 7 squads to control the situation around the temple, so only 2 squads are left to be able to watch this group of believers, once there is a large-scale rebellion, it is very dangerous, not to mention that now His Majesty is still staying at the scene and refuses to leave, of course I persuaded Your Majesty. But Your Majesty, he ......" Delnate didn't finish speaking, but Li Huailin also knew what he meant, and Anthony was obviously tough and refused to leave.
"Why bother, it's distressing to look at it anyway, forget it, I'll go talk to him." Li Huailin nodded slightly, and then continued to walk forward.
Soon Li Huailin came to the gate of the temple of the goddess of harvest, located in the north of the center of the city. Before I got closer, I saw people all over the mountain, and these people were all players, and they were all blocked from the temple, and the road to the temple was maintained by the royal guards, so there was a clear way.
"Look, it looks like a brother." The players here quickly recognized Li Huailin walking on the middle of the road, because they were all stopped on both sides of the road, and only Li Huailin walked in the middle of the road with a bunch of NPC soldiers, and they could see it at this time.
"It seems that Brother triggered some hidden mission again." Players here guessed. Because the temple has been blocked, they really can't see the situation inside, and they can't get in, and a group of people are very curious to see what is going on inside. At this time, seeing Li Huailin and a group of NPCs walking towards the temple together, of course he thought that Li Huailin had triggered the hidden mission to make such a plot, and said a little sourly: "No matter how good things have been encountered by him." ”
Li Huailin ignored the players, walked through the crowd directly under the gaze of everyone, and also looked at the progress of the current mission by the way. It can be said that everything is going relatively smoothly now, although no one has reported to him so far. But Li Huailin knew that the number of people in his Excalibur Unsealing Mission was still rising rapidly, but the speed of the rise still did not meet Li Huailin's requirements, not as much as he imagined. To be honest, it is already close to noon, and Li Huailin's current number of heads is less than 400,000, which seems to be a little far from the overall goal of 10 million. Li Huailin could only think of other ways to assist. Of course, dealing with this matter is still the first priority.
As soon as he walked into the outer wall of the temple, Li Huailin saw a different scene. The entire square in front of the temple in front of him is now densely packed with people, and indeed the number is the same as what Delnat said before, at least a hundred thousand, and this temple is also the temple of the goddess of the largest harvest. There were some big sacrifices held here on a regular basis, and at that time, the believers of the goddess of harvest in the whole city would come to watch the ceremony, and the number of people was even greater than now, so this place was also big enough, and now it can accommodate so many people, otherwise the real believers would not know to stand there.
The current state of a group of believers is quite stable, Li Huailin has seen the same believers in other places before, although so many people have gathered here, the scene is not chaotic, it is much better than the situation of the adventurers outside, this really can't see that this is a group of people who have been ordered to slaughter.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Mainland, this way." Li Huailin only looked at it for a while, and Delnat here hurriedly guided Li Huailin to the back, as if he was worried that the believers would make any radical moves when they saw Li Huailin, but in fact, they didn't need to worry so much, because these believers were basically praying to the temple in the middle, and they didn't even look at the surrounding soldiers, so no one saw Li Huailin arrive.
Under the guidance of Dernat, Li Huailin soon met Anthony in the place next to him that seemed to be the side hall of the temple, Anthony's current situation does not look very good, he is a good martial artist himself, but now he also sees that he is a little tired, it is obvious that it is not physically tired, but a lot of mental pressure.
"Wylin, this situation ...... now"
Anthony saw Li Huailin and immediately wanted to come up and speak, but was directly stopped by Li Huailin: "Don't worry, everything is under control now, and then something big is about to happen here, so if you can't bear to watch, it's better to go back and rest, it's no problem to leave it to me here." ”
"Do you really want to do it to them......" Anthony here said a little solemnly, of course he knew what the big thing Li Huailin was talking about, "Although they are all believers in the goddess of harvest, but in addition to faith, they are just ordinary people, and they really have to ......"
"I said Anthony, you are only an emperor, and what you have to do is responsible for the country, not for everyone." Li Huailin said suddenly. "Their current choices are all their own choices, have I forced them? I've given them a chance to convert, but they didn't choose either, so you can't save everyone. And I'm sure you've also received a report, these believers have been brainwashed and stupidized by that goddess, don't you think you're an emperor. Is it scary that there are still people in your country who think that you are not the biggest? Anyway, I think it's very terrifying, you see that I'm the emperor of the mainland, theoretically my order should be the highest holy decree on the road, but you also saw it, I asked them to convert, but no one listened to me, do you think that such civilians are your people? As an emperor, you worry about your people, but the people they care about are the goddess. Are you willing to be the wrongdoer? ”
Li Huailin's theory is very convincing to Anthony, yes, he was originally an emperor who advocated the separation of church and state, and he knew it from the fact that he did not invite the pope to be crowned for him when he ascended the throne. So although Li Huailin's words were crooked, they really stopped Anthony for a while, and besides, he believed in Li Huailin very much, and he didn't think that Li Huailin would harm himself, so he really didn't know how to fight back.
"I know you're kind, so just leave this matter to me, and you can go back first. I can't do anything about staying here anyway, it's my problem. So I'll deal with it. Li Huailin said.
"But......" Although Anthony on this side seemed to be persuaded by Li Huailin, he still didn't seem to be too good in his heart, as if he wanted to say something, suddenly a soldier of the royal guard ran in at the door, and said to Anthony a little nervously, "Your Majesty." Something happened, look outside! ”
Of course, Anthony is very nervous now, now that there are believers outside, he is afraid of some riots, and the first thing that comes to mind when he hears this soldier's report is that there is chaos outside. But turn your head and look outside. He found that this was not the case at all, and that what the soldier reported was that it was getting darker outside.
Yes, it's close to noon, which means it should be the time when the sun is at its highest. When Li Huailin came before, the sun was also shining, but now it is different, the sky outside is gradually darkening, and it looks like a big storm is coming.
But it's unlikely, because it's winter, and the time in the game is also winter, where does the thunderstorm come from in winter, and how can the weather change so quickly. Sensing that something was wrong, a group of people in the side hall hurriedly walked out, and sure enough, they saw that a large black cloud in the sky was slowly gathering, and it seemed to appear in the sky above the entire main city, because looking further away, there was still the sun in those places, and it seemed that the black clouds covered the main city.
"What's going on?" Anthony immediately asked, "It was still good weather just now, why did this black cloud suddenly appear?" ”
"It feels like it's going to rain heavily, but Your Majesty, it's a little strange, how can the weather suddenly change in this winter?" Prime Minister Ma He, who was next to him, also immediately walked over and said.
"Boom" sounded thunder, and the black cloud above suddenly appeared a purple flash from the center, spreading directly around the black cloud, the scene was very exaggerated, but this is even more strange, there will be thunder in winter? With such an exaggerated change in the weather, it always seems that something is wrong.
"Well......" Li Huailin also thought about it a little, this is definitely not a normal phenomenon, but he doesn't know what's going on, and he was about to ask the people next to him, but the believers over there suddenly became confused.
"It's the gods who are angry!"
"Is it going to be punished by heaven?"
"What? Could it be that the goddess is going to punish the Duke of Aquitaine? ”
"Oh?" Hearing the shouts of the believers next to him, Li Huailin suddenly understood that this strange situation might really have something to do with that goddess.
"Divine punishment?" One of the ministers here also seemed to understand, and nodded slightly, looking like he wanted to know something.
"Molcelli, what's going on?" Anthony immediately asked.
"Your Majesty, the subordinate seems to have heard similar rumors, and heard that when the gods are provoked, divine punishment will be triggered, but to be honest, the subordinate has never seen it, after all, this is only recorded in the book." The minister named Molcelli here said immediately.
"Wylin!" Anthony here immediately looked at Li Huailin next to him worriedly, because if he wanted to be punished, he would definitely be looking for Li Huailin, he was the culprit, "It seems that the goddess is really angry......"
"Oh, that's interesting." Li Huailin suddenly thought of what Saint Diluca had said before. She seems to have said that if God really wants to make a move on a mortal, there are some rules that can make a move, and it seems that this is the situation now, it seems that she really forced St. Diluka to take action herself, which is a bit interesting.
"Wylin!" Anthony here looked at Li Huailin, who was still smiling, and shouted worriedly, "Are you really not worried?" This is the wrath of a god. ”
"What's there to worry about. Can he still eat me? Li Huailin said with a smile, "It's already forced the other party to punish me by himself, and I won another game, don't worry, I have a big advantage." ”
"A big advantage?" Anthony here was simply stunned, what is a big advantage, you are about to be punished by God, okay.
While they're still talking, the sky over there is starting to change again. The black clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, almost obscuring out the sun. The whole main city seemed to have entered darkness before, and the thunder in the sky kept ringing, and it felt like the end of the world. Under this pressure, everyone felt the wrath of God, and of course the believers below immediately bowed down, and the others standing there also felt the pressure.
The onlookers outside were also frightened by the current scene, and they didn't know what plot was triggered here, and the scene was too spectacular. I don't know what's going on inside, but I want to go in and have a look. Unfortunately, they couldn't get in.
While everyone was staring at the sky, the dark clouds on this side actually opened a small hole, of course, a ray of sunlight immediately shot in from this hole, like a holy light shining in, and the place where this holy light shone happened to be the top of the temple of the goddess of harvest, and the entire temple seemed to emit divine light at once. Of course, Li Huailin also knew when he saw this. That's definitely what the goddess did.
Sure enough, not long after the pillar of holy light on this side shone down, a figure slowly appeared in the air, slowly descending from the top of the pillar of holy light. Of course, the person who appeared was the Harvest Lady Divine Diluka, and at this time, Saint Diluka's face was full of divine aura, and everyone thought that this was a god at a glance. And it's the kind of god that is sacrosanct, and with this beautiful scene now, people suddenly have a feeling of wanting to worship her.
"Hey, do you like this way of playing?" Li Huailin couldn't help but say, because this way of appearance Li Huailin is really not the first time to see it, Saint Irovre over there plays this every time he appears, and it seems that it has become fixed, and Saint Diluka here is almost copied, is it to express his anger at a few rays.
Seeing the appearance of St. Diluca, all the believers had already knelt on the ground at this time, and the soldiers next to them were also a little stunned to look at the sky, yes, the people here were basically the first time to see the goddess of harvest manifest herself, everyone was stunned.
"Damn, what's that?"
"Isn't it some god in the game, is it called, Brother?"
"This goddess is too beautiful, what if...... Hehehe......"
Of course, players outside of this situation have also seen it.,This scene is not seen in general.,While ridiculing the goddess.,While everyone hurried to video.,Although you can't get in.,But this time it seems like there's some big drama to watch.,It's best to be the same as last time.,It's good to be able to trigger what everyone can do.。
And St. Diluka in the air, after descending for a while, also stopped directly above his temple, right in the place where all the believers below worshipped. Looking at the large group of believers below, Saint Diluca's face was not very good, because she had just been cheated by this group of her own believers, and she was angry, and she had no time to deal with them.
Of course, the person she is looking for now is Li Huailin, she was forced to take action herself, and she was a little angry to tell the truth, after all, she had to do it herself to deal with an ant, and she felt that she really couldn't get over it. can do this, this Li Huailin can be regarded as doing a good job.
"Sinner...... Mind the forest! Saint Diluka on this side glanced around, and then his eyes directly turned to the position where Li Huailin was standing, and he directly looked at Li Huailin from such a distance, and it seemed that he knew that Li Huailin was here.
"Sure enough, it's going to deal with the Duke of Aquitaine!" Hearing St. Diluca shouting Li Huailin's name, everyone here became nervous, and even the believers were worried about Li Huailin, let alone Anthony.
"Come out! Accept God's wrath! Saint Diluka said loudly, and then pointed to the middle of the square in front of him, as if he was preparing to let Li Huailin come out and accept the punishment.
"Huailin, why don't you ...... now" Anthony seemed to have made a lot of determination, as if he wanted Li Huailin to leave first, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Li Huailin first.
"Hehe, because I want to listen." Li Huailin smiled again and said to the heavenly Saint Diluka, "Wait, I'm here." (To be continued.) )
