Chapter 172: I Am the Villain of the Grim Reaper

ps: The big chapter of 7,000 words, I originally wanted to divide it into two chapters, but I was good at it, and I didn't know where to divide it after reading it, so I just came out with one chapter.

¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥

On the rostrum, looking at the noisy mercenaries, the branch president looked helpless, and apologized to the people on both sides: "I'm really sorry to let you see this unorthodox appearance, this group of guys is used to being casual, and the local mercenary union does not implement militarized management like the mercenary war group, and the discipline is really poor." ”

As he spoke, a smile unfolded on his face.

"You're not at war, wouldn't it be nice to be free? I just envy the mercenary, and even I want to squeeze in and have two drinks. Renault waved his hand with a big grin, and then said in a strange manner, "If the mercenaries of the local trade unions are also as well-trained as the knights of our Holy See, then wouldn't our majestic and wise Emperor Xià and the dutiful and respected imperial officials sleep even more at night?" ”

Sitting on the right hand side of President Roderick was none other than the sheriff of Morninglight Town, one of the "Imperial officials who dutifully ordered people to respect the well-trained papal knights who did not sleep well at night", listening to the secret taunt of Renault's rough man with a gun and a club, his expression became very embarrassed, and just when he didn't know how to respond, Baron Freman next to him snorted coldly: "Scott is also acting on orders, you have the ability to go to the governor of the province or the emperor to be angry, he is an honest man." Don't embarrass him. ”

"Of course I knew that he was just following orders, otherwise he would have been dragged into an alley with a sack at night." Renault smiled kindly at Sheriff Scott, who shivered in fright. In the case of the empire's great situation, the dispute between the royal power and the clerical power is reflected in this kind of competition between each other in the dark, when the imperial administrative regions were reorganized and nine provinces were established, and after perceiving the extraordinary centralization of the imperial family**, the Holy See also quickly made deployments, corresponding to the new administrative system of the empire. A local religious administration system was established for the Provinces-Dioceses-Priesthoods-Parisheses, which were used to carry out the new imperial policy. It has to be said that this kind of horizontal countermeasure is very effective. Since then, the pope and the emperor have been talking and laughing, the archbishop and the provincial governor have been giggling, and the regional bishop has been messing with the mayor. The priest and the mayor raised their eyebrows. In short, everyone is at the same level, with clear hierarchies, from top to bottom, each fighting their own.

In the struggle between church and state at the county level, the imperial governors were well-informed, shrewd and capable, with family backers behind them and military and political power in their hands. Even against the Bishop and Archbishop of the Upper District, or the head of the Knights of the Aphar, there is no stage fright. Full of confidence, but it's hard to say about the county town, for example, in the case of Chenguang Town, the sheriff has a soft temperament and no overwhelming armed force in his hands, so he can only be pressed by the rough and wild martial arts paladins without half a temper, and if he changes to another place, if the head of the Holy See is soft and the officials of the empire are strong, then the shape will also be reversed.

But fortunately, although the sheriff of Chenguang Town has a soft temperament, he also has a qualified local nobleman to help him, so he will not be wild by this unrestrained and rude paladin jumping on the table, Freman heard Renault's malicious intimidation, coughed lightly, and said indifferently: "If something unpleasant happens, I will go to the main church of this town to drink and go wild, and set up a tent to live for three days and three nights, if you are nagged by the priest and priest, don't blame me." ”

When Renault heard this, his eyes widened: "I was beaten by the little thief on the side of the road with this product, and I want to carry the black pot?" ”

Freman sneered and didn't answer, Renault's eyebrows were raised, and it seemed that he wanted to quarrel again, if he left these two goods alone, he would probably quarrel for three days and three nights...... So, President Roderick smiled and said to the peacemaker: "Okay, okay, today is here to talk about business, no matter what, the planning and formation of the anti-flood force is the top priority, and everything else must give way......

"Okay, listen to you." Renaud nodded, looked up at Sigma in the crowd, and raised his eyebrows and smiled, "This kid is very good, he has an appetite for me, why haven't I seen it before?" What is the origin? Look at the three people at the same table as him, the fat man is Freman's nephew, I know, the other two girls are not weak priests, why haven't I seen them? No, one of them is a little familiar...... I look like I've seen it somewhere......"

"It's an out-of-towner." Oliver, who was sitting next to him, replied that as the de facto leader of the mercenaries in Morninglight, he knew almost everything about the town, "Someone saw him enter Kidd's casino, and then Kidd himself sent him out, and that ruthless miser actually vacated his villa, which was never allowed to outsiders, and moved back to the old house with the whole family, and let this gentleman live, and not only that, but also sent his most powerful and trusted right-hand man as a follower to serve as a coachman...... It looks like a lot of money. ”

"And that's not all." Roderick said lightly, "It is said that when Kidd saw this gentleman in the casino, he was excited and called him 'uncle', hey, the days when I met this miser were not short, and I didn't know that he was someone else's dog, amazing, amazing......"

When Oliver heard this, his expression was complicated, and he looked at Roderick deeply.

The president, who was over fifty years old, glanced at him and suddenly snorted, "What are you looking at?" ”

Oliver replied honestly, "I can't imagine that you old thing is better informed than I am." ”

"Fuck, I'm your old man, I don't have two more brushes than you, why do you sit in the position of president? Rabbit cub, you are still a little younger, far from enough class. Roderick laughed twice, then snorted, "Also, well-informed, I've been deceived by this miser for so long, and now even if I know that he's a dog, I don't know who raised it, it's a good fart." ”

"People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away." Oliver looked at Sigma and said softly, "Although Kidd is a little dark, he has absolutely no ability to say that he can put a talent like him in such a remote place." It can also make Kidd willing to be a secret nail in a down-to-earth manner, and what a terrible force his master should have in his hands, and can marry such a big force. This gentleman is really ......."

"People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away, of course this is true." Renault laughed, looked at Ford, who was still standing alone in front of the rostrum, as if he was stupid, and then looked at Sigma who was left and right in the crowd, and snorted. "He is also of noble birth, has a strong backing, and is talented. But people still score a high score, and embroidered pillows are all embroidered pillows. ”

Ford's body shook slightly.

"Yo, my ears are quite smart, and this silver is a bit heavy." Renault saw this. Snorted disdainfully. He slapped the table and exclaimed, "What's wrong?" I have this temper, if I don't like it, I don't like it, I think what I say is ugly? What's so upset about you're beating me? You're just a little hairy kid of the mercenary union, do you think you're amazing? If you feel that you are a little more talented, you can pretend to be forced. Do you feel that you are superior to others, and that people in the world should let you take a step? I'll leave my words here today. If you still rely on the fact that you have a backer, you have a few silver followers and a group of bronze followers with the so-called superior's order, and you just come here and you want to grab the class and seize power, showing that you are not happy to find Roderick, then I will make you unhappy! Don't say that you are a little kid now, even if you are promoted to the Golden Realm, promoted to the Holy Domain, or even promoted to the legend by shit, and become the president of the Mercenary Guild, what does it matter to Lao Tzu, the paladin? Want to get revenge back when the time comes? Then I'll teach you another good word, and dispel this idea as soon as possible, even if you have the opportunity to find me bad luck and kill me in the future, then there will be colleagues in the Sacrament Department who will use great prophecy to find out the cause and effect, kill you, and let you pay for your blood debt! There are legendary powerhouses in our Holy See, elites in a hundred battles, powerful alliances, and paladins who are willing to avenge the unjust deaths of their strangers! Your mercenary union has a great cause, but there are only major mercenary groups in the west that listen to the tune and don't listen to the announcement, there are many factions inside, and there are competitors who hold their arms to watch your faction's jokes! Let's see who can keep you! ”

The more Renault spoke, the more energetic he became, smacking his lips and sneering: "The little fart like a hanging hair, he really thinks of himself as a character, which of the young people I saw when I went to the Holy City to study, which one didn't throw you out of a few streets?" I've never seen anyone jump like you. You think you're holding a thick leg in the mercenary guild, and you're ......"

When the spitting paladin said "the young man I saw when I went to the holy city to study", a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and as he spoke, his eyes swept to a strange and familiar paladin in the crowd.

He stopped, his mouth still slightly open, and the fiery blood-colored abbot blinked his eyes and looked at them again with wide eyes, is this a twin sister or someone who looks alike? It shouldn't be, although he just glanced at it from a distance at the time, but that kind of temperament and spiritual outlook made him extremely impressed. That's right, she is the legendary Kaolin Flower of the Sun Heraldic Order, the great paladin who is known for her mighty defensive shields and rock-solid light guards, and who is secretly called the Goddess of Knights by her admirers. Her deeds and legends are widely spread, shining as brightly as her beautiful and holy countenance, in which she does not smile, observes the eight virtues of knighthood, is more strict with herself than with others, is upright, loving, kind, and amiable...... He is the most perfect paladin in everyone's mind.

How did this adult end up in Morninglight? After confirming Kiri's identity, Renault was a little confused.

Then he saw that the knight goddess who was upright, fraternity, kindness, affinity, unsmiling, and observance of the eight virtues in his mind suddenly showed a bored expression, and then he didn't know what he thought, and slowly approached the mage brother who was talking and laughing loudly in the crowd, and suddenly strangled his neck from behind, first laughed wildly twice in the sky, and then tried to pour the beer in the cup into the nostrils of the mage brother.

At this moment, the thousand words in his heart merged into two words.

the groove.

Woman...... The goddess has been defiled by ordinary people!

Sadly, he gave the example of the flower of the kaolin to a young girl who aspired to be a paladin yesterday...... However, the impact of this shocking scene in front of him at this moment was no less than that when he climbed the 3,600 prayer stairs in the Holy City with awe and reverence, preparing to climb the Lightfall Plank Road to visit the place where the angels came. As a result, he strayed into a certain place because he got lost, and as a result, his crown of the pope wore a pair of white pants and was bare-chested with a wine bottle, and several cardinal archbishops who were also dressed like this squatted on the upper side of the mouth and cursed and drank and guessed fists......

That scene was the biggest secret in his heart at that time. It is also the biggest reason for his unrestrained and wild personality now, when the Pope explained to him that people live to be happy, and also said that when people are old, they lose a lot, and only memories are left, so they should live a little happier and remember what they missed when they were young. Even with the share of those who have passed away that cannot be replaced, let's have a good time together. He also told him that the seemingly noble status, the magnificent holy city, and the great power are all the responsibilities that bind people. The priesthood is just a mortal who follows the Light, and in addition to carrying out the ideas in their hearts, the most important thing is not to leave regrets, but to keep the treasures they already have. At last. The kind Pope said that he saw that Renault had eyes, so he gave him a little cultivation experience, and hoped that he would hide the casual appearance of a few old people who occasionally relaxed in his heart, and keep this secret, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the young people who are striving to be strong and full of hope, otherwise...... The cliff of the bright plank road is very steep.

Afterwards, Renault, who was a little confused due to the impact of the three views, left the Holy City and returned to Morning Light Town. It took him three months to recuperate before he boldly speculated on the deep meaning of His Majesty the Pope at that time: the spiritual father of all the priests of Nolun 6. The living god in the minds of thousands of believers, one of the top powerhouses at the pinnacle of the world, the guardian of humanity and peace, the crown of the Pope with monstrous power and peerless force, he fooled himself with some nonsense that sounded very powerful, fashionable and reasonable, but was actually empty, trying to justify his behavior of drinking and guessing fists in the upper hand and blowing small ** with the cardinals, and then bribed him with a secret book that seemed to be very precious but was actually just a general study textbook for the Templars, and threatened him, If he doesn't agree, throw him off the bright plank path......

The scene of the kind-eyed Pope and the smiling cardinals watching him kindly became a nightmare that haunted him for three months, and finally, the Renault Paladin, who had figured everything out thoroughly, gradually became the virtue of the nightmare he once feared and resisted, while sticking to the path of the Holy Light as always......

But...... But something is still wrong!

I think this Gilly Paladin was not even twenty years old! He is still a young man who is full of hope! How can you have the same virtue as His Majesty the Pope? Scuffle up! There was a scuffle! You see, her nose picking is like a trick carved out of a mold when you and the cardinal archbishop fought each other! Your Majesty, what have you taught young people to be!? Anyway, this kind of thing doesn't quite fit! I follow your wishes, and although I live happily and happily, I still try to teach young people to be the ideal paladins! But you're lying to me again! I have taught young people to be honest and honest paladins, and what have you instigated this promising paladin!

Renault Paladin looked at Ji Li, who was laughing and scuffling with Sigma very happily, and the feeling of being in his heart was indescribable, but Roderick didn't know his violent inner activities, and when he heard him stop talking about it, he also spoke out in time to be a peacemaker, patted Renault's hand, and smiled movingly: "Old brother, thank you very much, but don't say it again, although Mr. Ford is a little immature, but you have also gone too far, everyone has a time when they are young and ignorant, you are so old, do you still have to deal with young people?" As for the seizure of power, it is even more nonsense......"

Saying this kindly, Roderick glanced at Ford's back with a kind face and smiled meaningfully.

Young man, you are still tender, you want to use your influence to seize the command of disaster relief, so that your resume can add a strong stroke, this kind of mentality of seeking success is understandable, but are you underestimating me? This world is very complicated, don't take other people for fools, let alone think that things will be as smooth and beautiful as you imagined, our family has been mercenaries for generations, and we have been operating in Chenguang Town for so long, whether it is heritage or connections, how can a rookie like you who has just come to the airborne internship be able to shake it!

Besides, the matter of disaster prevention and dispatch is related to the lives of countless people, how can you let it mess around!

For this genius boy who was parachuted down, Roderick quietly gave the other party a hard dismount. The effect of the dismount seems to be far from expected, and the variable of the matter lies in this young man, who completely stirs up the atmosphere......

Then next. Let's have a good conversation with this genius who is also very big, and befriend him. If a young man like Ford is a proud young man who retreats, and if he refuses to give up, then he needs a young man who is equally impressive and even victorious to confront him, distract him, so that I can stay out of the situation and do what I have to do......

Roderick, who had finished thinking in his heart, laughed and said, "What a good young man." Although it seems to be just a young person who has traveled here, in a short period of time, it seems to be accepted and liked by everyone. Simply a natural leader. You look at the way he looks, as if he was born to stand there, laughing and talking to his companions around him, and his every move is eye-catching. This kind of strong personal charm can't be described as talented......"

Renault looked at Sigma laughing with Kelly. The boss in his heart is unhappy, in his eyes, this thing has changed from "a little brother who is very appetizing to me" to "an accessory and a direct offender who made the knight goddess fall", as for who the main culprit is, I believe there is no need to say much. Countless gossip flashed through his head, why did the legendary noble and holy knight goddess leave the Sun Heraldic Knights and travel with a mage in Big 6? If you think about the reason, there seems to be only one reason. In addition, the mage brother seems to be the son-in-law of a big force - countless dog blood is spilled, and the theme words are love at first sight, love triangle, escape marriage, elopement, and a good ship is a big ......

These two young couples, who fell in love at first sight and died at the end of the world, not only have to face the pursuit of that mysterious force. You have to face the obstacles of the Holy See! It's so much to see! You little bunny you deserve it! And I've wanted to ask for a long time.,Why is the big-boobed girl next to me looking at you quietly with a loving gaze! Aha

Based on this thought, he also felt a little unhappy with Roderick's compliments, and said impatiently: "Yes, yes, of course, he is an outstanding young man with a leadership temperament, but unfortunately, he is a mage, and he seems to have a noble status, obviously he will not be from your mercenary union, he is just a mercenary......

"So what?" Roderick smiled and said, "The fact that he was able to respond to the emergency mobilization order and come to the union shows that he values his status as a mercenary, and then listen to his sincere and touching words just now, saying that he is a qualified and pure mercenary, what's not to do?" The so-called mercenary is to respond to the expectations of people in need, no matter what force he is from, as long as he is willing to become friends with the mercenaries and is willing to fight side by side with everyone in times of crisis, he is our recognized comrade and his own person! ”

"It's better spoken than sung......" Renault muttered, but actually agreed with Roderick's claim.

However, Baron Freman, who had been sitting next to him like a clay sculpture without saying a word, also had three thousand grass and mud horses whizzing past him.

Roderick, your rhetoric is still as beautiful as ever, but ...... But......

But this kid who dares to talk nonsense here in a serious and shameless manner is not a mercenary at all! What kind of cheeky skin does he dare to incite the masses with mouth cannons here, become the focus and support of mercenaries as his own people, and achieve his own goals! That Ford, who was bullied by you very miserably, is still a mercenary, no matter how unbearable he is! You kid isn't even a mercenary, damn it! I still despise the aristocracy like a politician, and your public opinion manipulation methods are more skilled than the nobles of the most politicians!

Also befriending mercenaries? Fight? If it weren't for the fact that he was favored by Atlas to become a necromancer before graduation, this kid would have already returned to his hometown at this moment, galloping back and forth on the iron-blooded battlefield covered with yellow sand, carrying his Sakura tomahawk to open the scoop one by one to the warbands mercenaries who were enemies of his family!

But...... You're not wrong about one thing, this kid is really amazing.

Even at that moment, I was a little moved, both in terms of the definition of nobility and the understanding of mercenaries. Although this kid is not a mercenary, he does sincerely look and listen to things about mercenaries, so he can speak the hearts of the mercenaries present and resonate with them...... Are all the necromancers of Atlas monsters?

He also turned his head to look at Ford's back, whether it was being accused and attacked by Sigma with great momentum, or ignored by everyone present, or scolded by Renault unceremoniously, this young man had been standing alone in this position, no one knew what he was thinking, and he didn't know whether he was aggrieved or angry, desperate or sad, but looking at his back, Baron Freman had a faint premonition - he would not rest on his laurels.

Why bother? He shook his head slightly.

The others didn't know where Sigma came from, he knew, the others didn't know who Sigma really was, he knew, the others didn't know who Kidd really had the dog, but he could easily guess.

The marriage between the Washington family, the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, the Reaper family, known as the most capable in the West, and the wealthy Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, caused a lot of shock back then, and these two giants were enough for the backers behind Ford to weigh it, not to mention the suffocating behemoth of the Death Realm. Ford may be the genius of the mercenary guild that has caught the attention of the high-ranking bigwigs, but Sigma is Atlas's brightest star.

Renault is right, the mercenary union seems to be a big business, with major mercenary groups in the west, and branches covering almost every corner of human society, but in fact it is just a plate of scattered sand, compared with the highly centralized behemoths like the Holy See and the Death Realm, there is really a big gap, not to mention that Ford is just a young man who is intended to be cultivated by a certain big man.

The backers and backstage are completely defeated...... What about personal abilities and talents?

As a knight's cultivation period, he defeated the Iron Princess with strong faith and terrible will, and later the necromantic talent awakened, and was directly picked up by the legendary powerhouse across half of the big 6, how could a strong will and outstanding talent not give birth to terrifying power? In terms of charisma and leadership skills...... Doesn't what happened just now illustrate a qiē problem?

You can't win, young man, you're up against an enhanced version of you, he's better than you in every way, and he's probably better than you in any kind of machination......

Even so, do you want to keep challenging him?

As if in response to Baron Freman's inquiry, Ford's stiff body moved slightly, and then, after today's almost humiliating defeat, the young man, who had always been smiling and looking extremely confident, walked calmly in the direction of Sigma, his back lonely, but unwavering.

"Ahh Sigma suddenly sneezed and muttered, "Damn, there's a subtle feeling of being treated like a villain...... Strange ......" (To be continued......
