Chapter 479: Change
"Caro, surname and age unknown, blonde hair and blue eyes, a beard and a face that can't be seen clearly, but the voice looks younger than the appearance, I don't know when she appeared in the Rhino Bar, she has been there for almost half a year, she is good at gambling out of thousands, and she is nicknamed 'Tavern God of Gamblers'. Never do serious work, the main income is the gambling money won from gambling with adventurers, especially good at Gwent, Hearthstone and other cards. As for why he is good at making thousands, it is because there are losses and wins in the process of playing cards with him, and the final settlement must be you, but because the process is quite thrilling and interesting, every time you lose not much, there are always some boring people who are willing to send him money. β
"However, some time ago, he killed outsiders too ruthlessly, so that the old drunkards found out his methods, and there was no money to be made in a short time. On weekdays, he also gave the boss Lao Barton some odd jobs to pay off the wine money and accommodation expenses. It seems that I am very interested in the daughter of the bar owner, Katarina, but the other party has never been kind to her. β
Looking at the news that he had paid to buy from the local thieves' union, Thor the Goblin Inquisitor shook his head.
In the past six months, it has become a habit for him to go out and inquire about unidentified adventurers who suddenly appeared, but thinking of that person's information, it seems to have become an epic character's medal of merit, compared to the rotten drunkard who has been in the tavern for half a year in front of him, he shook it, it seems that his luck is not good enough, and this time he still pounced.
"Next, let's prepare for the reconnaissance mission in front of us, such a remote town, and there are no special resources, there is actually a cultist blood sacrifice, which makes people feel that something is wrong there......."
As a judge who has been on the front line since graduating from Nanxiang's crash course, Saul seems too young. If it's those old fritters from the era of the underground judicial four halls. Looking at Caro's profile. You'll be right away.
Because they know that their old superior, who sounds prestigious, is definitely not a great hero, who owes a tavern for half a year or something, and uses gambling debts to pay off the wine money or something, and completely does it.
But if it's really those old fritters, they won't think about finding someone, because they know. Not only is this task unfinishable, but if it is really completed, it may not be a good thing.
First of all, if that person really wants to hide, if he can find it, he must completely depend on luck, and even if he really hits it, I'm afraid that the other party will not only run, but most of them will not be able to stop it, and even if the luck value is full and waiting for the rabbit to really catch it, I am afraid that no matter how good the reward is, it will not be able to withstand the murderous revenge of that guy.
Such a task. Winning or losing is not flattering, no matter how you think about it, it's a pit.
So. For the old fritters of the Church of Law, the task of "finding Roland" is just a fun conversation for casual chat, and only the young people who have just come out of the oven will take the "No. 1 Mission" of their superiors seriously, of course, they have naturally become the object of the old fritters, and a legend is still spreading among the recruits of the Church of Law, the League of Gentlemen, and the knights of Languo.
"Go find the legendary hero Roland, our church is longing for his return, this is a test for young people, as long as you find him, you will get his approval (revenge) and praise (revenge), and the only inheritance of the only ten-ring spell in this world: the ultimate small shoe confinement (literally)."
Thor, who has just been on the job for two months and has only carried out a mission alone, is obviously the object of fooling, and he completely believes it, otherwise he would not have carried the latest wanted warrant with him.
What Thor didn't know was that they had just stayed at the Rhino Tavern for a day, and they had already figured out what they were looking for, and in a room in the tavern, they were being talked about by their target.
"The Silver Rank Inquisitor, the Gold Rank Anti-Knight and the Four Spirit Sword Envoys, it should be the Anti-Knight who leads the team. Missing a paladin is now the most popular 'four-plate armor combination', and it is still possible to barely clean up a high-level demon, judging from the target of their exploration, it should be to check the 'Ten Thousand Death Society', which has been becoming more and more rampant recently. β
Whenever the world encounters a crisis, it is often not the enemy who is the first to run rampant, but those chaotic cults, which take advantage of the turmoil in the world and the fear of the people of the world to wantonly spread their beliefs and create more panic and chaos in order to seek their own interests.
But there are gods and demons in this world, so the organizers of the cult are not limited to mortals, if they pull the masterminds behind them out of the gutter, most of them can be related to a certain boss in the lower plane and the different plane.
The full name of the "Society of the Ten Thousand Dead" is "The Society of All Deaths", which is a doctrine that worships death itself from the lower plane, but when it spreads to the main plane, it has been crooked, and the current doctrine is "all life will perish in the apocalypse, and only by transforming into undead creatures can we survive the apocalypse", is it very speechless, in fact, I have seen more than this outrageous cult doctrine.
Just looking at this doctrine, I dare to guarantee that this cult has absolutely something to do with those undead emperors, with the successful arrival of that undead emperor a year ago, the undead natural disasters on the main plane do have a tendency to become more and more intense, and the guys of the Ten Thousand Dead Society are becoming more and more rampant.
If they are left alone, it will be difficult for a village to become a dead village after a while, and the undead natural disaster will also have new troops, and there may even be a plague and a dimensional gate to the death plane, so as long as the ten thousand deaths will appear, the church of the gods and the state will often send investigators to clean it up.
At the same time in "history", there were also many cults that emerged, no matter what they started for, the main purpose in the end was to create all kinds of blood sacrifices and evil rituals to let the abyss boss come to this plane to start a holy war, and when the will of the abyss disappeared, the abyss lord and the evil god gained freedom and became more and more active, and the cults became more and more, but the final purpose became difficult to say, at least, I have not seen so many strange cults in "history".
"Fisherman, die!" ,Very strange name,It is said to be a weird cult that believes that "fish are the purest creatures,All anglers should die,The bastard who cooks fish soup should go to eighteen layers of hell",Their main believers are fish people and water creatures,It has developed very well in swamps and lake areasγ
At first, I thought it was incredible, but then when I found out that the deceased behind the cult was the son of the person who had been boiled into fish soup, I suddenly felt understandable.
"For world peace. Let's cook less fish soup. β
I somehow resonate with this doctrine. In particular, I've heard that Cavins felt that defeat was a bit humiliating. Later, I went to the old place to fish a few times and cooked fish soup a few times, so after the abyss changed the boss a few times, I became more sympathetic to this sect that had unknowingly changed its backers several times.
By the way, among the many cults, there is one called the Elysium Society that is particularly eye-catching.
Their doctrine is that "the end of the world is at hand, so let's throw away the superfluous discipline and devote our limited energy to infinite popping." βγ It is said that all the cult priests are young and beautiful girls, and the sacrifice activities are extremely enviable....... I mean evil and degenerate, and there are even a lot of cute elf girls among the participants, and it is said that the big guy behind them is from a certain layer of purgatory in the abyss, and it is purely interesting to organize such a cult, and he also participates in this kind of activity with his own incarnation, and it is said that he is still a very attractive girl, but unfortunately, I have not been able to find their church......
"Ahem, I said I just wanted to eradicate the evil church. Do you believe it? β
"I said the day you found the Elysium was the day Eliza found you. I don't tell the news, do you believe it? β
"If you believe you, you'll have ghosts."
"Same."
Now I'm alone, but I'm still spit out by a dead cat bound to my soul.
"Aren't you thinking about going back?"
"Hmph, even if the reward is increased tenfold, I ......"
"Won't be tempted?"
"No, find someone to tie me up and get the reward, take the bounty and run away......"
"Don't you have a little bit of epic hero self-esteem? Do you know, the immortal Roland has been rated by the goblins as one of the top ten epic heroes in a thousand years. β
"Self-esteem? Can you eat it? Can I change the drink? β
Of course, it's one thing to vomit, but for me, I actually have my own thoughts.
"Leave the affairs of mortals to mortals. I've done it all this far, and if they can't figure it out, it's useless. β
Before entering the underworld, I had already thought very clearly, that the group of fellows under my command had already reached the time when they could be on their own, and if an old fellow like me kept pointing fingers at the east and west, it would hinder their growth.
"I've survived for more than five years, and if something happens, I would have had an accident a long time ago, since everything is good, it means that young people are very capable, and the old guy who has retired a long time ago, why bother jumping out at this time to annoy people. Maybe someone else says I want to take power. β
The world is very big, what can be changed by the combat power of individuals, the changes that can be made have changed, the seeds that have been sown have sprouted, and the rest is only expectation, well, not laziness, but expectation.
"Come on, mortal! Big Brother is looking at you. β
So, I have the confidence to ignore the wanted warrant, but the threat of the latest update gives me a bit of a headache.
Considering that Eliza was probably involved in most of the people who had access to my underground library, I decided to take the time to write a threatening letter to the Church of Law recently, and if she dared to make it public, I would publish the humiliating fact that she was still wetting the bed at the age of six and afraid to sleep alone at the age of nine.
"....... I suddenly felt a lot of sympathy for Eliza. Can you have a little more emotional intelligence and a little sense of responsibility! β
".......Actually, you don't understand the depth of my love, child, one day, my life will come to an end, and you will be crowned kings and kings....... who will throw me with stinky boots?!"
The word "king" deliberately with a long singing voice was not finished, and was broken by the flying boots of the white cat.
Well, the white cat, thinking that inexplicable wanted warrant, the dead cat has now become a white cat.
"Isn't it just going to be lazy? What do you do with so many reasons? β
"Hmph, the wisdom of mortals, how can the reason for laziness be said casually, it should be said that I believe in my companions, believe in my juniors, and please call me Roland, a freelancer who chases fairness and justice! I am an independent knight who walks with the wind, I am not loyal to any princely forces, I only fight for the justice of my heart! β
"I always feel like you're inexplicably black......."
"Hmph, I'm going to be a freelancer man, and one day, I'll find my own elf girl!"
"I don't know what you're talking about, did you really take the wrong medicine.......
[This stalk is super exposed to age, be careful that others can't understand it.......]
Time seems to have proven my choice, though. The "anticipation" of seven years ago has become real. Although it is extremely irresponsible. But this unique opportunity does give those talents the opportunity to show their abilities.
It took five years to build Hades, and these five years were also the five years when the Holy War began and the times changed most rapidly, but they were also a test for the young leaders, even if I had just returned to the human world, and I could hear that they were doing a good job.
The Northern Lanmeng is guarded by their twin queens, and the prestige of the Ice Sisters has become famous throughout the country, when the whole world is in the midst of war and killed. The Northland Lan Alliance, which still has time to support other countries, is particularly special, prosperous, prosperous, powerful, and just, and the king of the tundra from the north is becoming more and more prosperous.
And in this era, the other side of strength and fame represents a stable living environment and endless business opportunities, compared to the countries that are always tormented by war and war, the land where ice and snow are permanent seems to have become lovely, especially the development of magic technology and the joint forbidden spell of the Northland elves, making the cruel natural environment less terrifying.
What an attractive advantage it is to have a peaceful place in a world of war, with countless merchants and migrants. The huge profits from the arms trade, coupled with strong alliances with Oran, Bayer and other countries. Let the worry-free Lan Alliance countries have a new atmosphere every day, and they are regarded as an emerging superpower.
Of course, they can keep peace in a war, in addition to the fact that the border land has no value, more because this is the headquarters of the law and the Church of Hades, and messing around here is tantamount to directly provoking the entire side of Hades, even if it is an abyss boss, he has to think twice.
The internal structure of the Church of the Law is stable, and there is no need for particularly good leaders, and with the establishment of the Underworld, the Law of God has turned into a real temple of the Underworld, and it is no longer an empty word to be punished for doing evil in life and after death, and they will naturally become more and more influential as the human church of the God of the Law and the God of Hades.
The fundamental reason for their growing influence is the rise of the power of Hades and the fact that the Sleepless has advanced to the main god, as the master of the underworld, when the Hades has fully matured, the eternal and just Sleepless has absorbed countless beliefs and the power of the law, and has become the second advanced main god in this holy war, and the Hades side has also become a neutral third party with at least five main gods.
Even if most of these gods are unable to leave Hades, they are a real threat.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this amazing strength that the gods on the order side who have been in endless trouble have not turned their faces, and still maintain a kind of cooperative relationship with the Hades side, so that the bigwigs of Chaos have taken the initiative to avoid the Northland, at least for now, the three parties seem to have reached a balance, even if this balance is destined to be torn apart by one party, it also gives the Ash more time to prepare and adapt.
The success of the god of the law has also made the law professions stronger and stronger, and their teachings have become more and more popular in war-torn areas due to the activity of law believers and law practitioners.
"Neutrality", "non-aggression", "speedy" and other professional characteristics have made many countries lacking combat power and law and order excited, and even selectively accepted the law in the code as a certificate of governance.
Of course, if the team is always on the edge of the law, the just knight is more dangerous than the paladin, and if he does not want to become a former knight, the law profession must stick to the law himself.
The law profession does not require a high level of education and combat talent, nor does it require a lot of resources and money like other professions, the most important thing is whether the practitioner can adhere to the determination of the law to regulate himself and others, and the extremely low threshold makes the law profession more and more, and many remote town guards can also see them getting the law manual and trying to be self-taught.
The news of the Absolute Gentlemen's Alliance is one after another, some of which are good and some are bad, the best is probably two years ago when the Hades and the main plane were re-established, the return of a large number of powerful mercenaries and knights, and the worst is probably that a certain half-dragon man has entered the demigod level incredibly, and has also won the strange title of "Mother of Ten Thousand Beasts".
"Even if you successfully enter the demigod level, I won't be surprised what that bastard does, I can understand the king of all beasts, what does the mother of all beasts mean? Forget it, don't tell me the answer, it must be some blind thing anyway! β
ββ¦β¦ This is also the reason why this news is only bad news, he formed some cults, and spread some new ideas, and there are still many believers, well, I won't talk about the specifics, you just need to know that he successfully entered the top ten of the natural disaster list and became the target of hunting and killing by all countries. β
"....... it seems that it was definitely a mistake to leave him in the main plane to help preside over the overall situation."
Too many changes can not be said overnight, although a lot of good news, but compared to the great changes in the whole world is nothing, countless "historical" heroes have stepped onto their own stage, war has become the most cruel cradle, many influences make the direction of the whole world uncertain, but also the old Barton complained that he could not keep up with the times.
Of course, none of this has much to do with me, and now my goal is to enjoy life, be lazy, and have fun! Just like those candidates who finally passed the college entrance examination, they finally got through that living hell, I have completed my mission, and the sky has fallen, let me have fun first!
"Caro, you see how idle you are talking to the cat, steal wine again. Give you a small task to earn money for drinking, these adults are going to investigate cases in the town, you are familiar with the road, help them be guides! β
"What?" (To be continued......)
