Chapter 8: Praise the Light
With the bald head dead, the priest and the huntress were shocked to see the bald head's one-handed sword almost slash the tip of Brad's nose and fall to the ground, but Brad remained standing in place as usual.
"It's too strong." The priest muttered to himself.
"Do the rhythm of death." This is the evaluation of the huntress.
And the truth is that it wasn't until this time that Brad reacted, and the sweat on his forehead flowed out.
"Rub, rub, rub ......" Brad kicked the bald man's body very inhumanely.
A level of more than 20 and a level 0, the difference between the two people is so big that Brad can't react effectively when the bald head starts to charge, if it weren't for Moore's great strength, Brad would definitely be glorious.
Pretending to be forced is really going to be struck by lightning, and the ancients will not deceive me. After Brad regained his senses, he was even more eager to improve his personal strength.
"Young Master, what to do with these corpses?" Moore asked, seeing Brad composed.
"Pick up something of value and pack it up and take it away, then throw it away and feed it to the spiders." Brad didn't hesitate in the slightest.
"Yes." Moore was very hurried and began to execute the order directly.
"Wait." The priest hurriedly stopped Mohr, "You can't be so cruel, this is a blasphemy against the Light. ”“
"The Light will not forgive the dregs of such sin, get out of the way." Moore gripped the hilt of his sword in one hand and stared at the priest.
The atmosphere that had just been relaxed suddenly became tense.
The priest, who couldn't stand Moore's oppression, took two steps back, took a breath and said to Brad: "Lord Lord, for the sake of the villagers, give them a way to live, you know that the weak resurrection of the Dao is like hell for us. “
"You mean, let them continue to trouble me after they are resurrected? You only see their weakness and misery, but you also know that they are cruel to my people when they live. Brad grabbed the priest by the collar, pointed to a few cocoons made of spider silk in the lower caves, and asked, "See, don't tell me you don't know what it is, each cocoon represents the life of an innocent absentee." You asked me to give the bald heads a chance to resurrect them, so who will give the absentees a chance! “
The priest was dumbfounded by the question, and he looked at the huntress for help, but the huntress paid no heed.
"For the Light's sake, give them one last chance, and I think they'll be grateful to you." The pastor is doing the best work.
Brad let go of the priest and straightened the corner of his collar for him, and said with a smile, "I have always emphasized that I am a benevolent lord, so I will grant your wish." “
"Lord Xie Lu, I'm sure they will be grateful to you after they are resurrected." The pastor was full of sincere gratitude, but in his heart he kept his evaluation of Brad to the lowest level.
"Young Master......"
Brad waved his hand to signal Moore not to speak, "Thank me, I don't need to, it's all the kindness of the Holy Light." “
"Moore, since the priest is so merciful, let him be perfected according to the will of the Light." Brad stroked Xiaobai's smooth and cold scales, and his tone was as calm as stagnant water: "Remember to throw the corpse down, and send the pastor down by the way, so that it will be convenient for the pastor to save people." “
"It's amazing how many years since I've seen such a devout believer, don't worry, young master, I will follow the will of the Holy Light to fulfill the wishes of the pastor."
It wasn't until a corpse was thrown to the lower level by Moore with a bang that the priest recovered from his astonishment, and saw a big green spider spit out spider silk wrapped around the corpse and dragged it away into the depths of the mine, and his heart shivered.
"Lord, lord, you can't do this, it's too cruel."
"Oh? Isn't it that you want to redeem their filthy souls, even I am very moved, I want to fulfill you, why, now I regret it? Brad gently placed his cane on the priest's shoulder.
The priest felt the cold touch of the cane on his neck, and he could see with his own eyes how sharp the seemingly old cane was, and how fragile the thief's leather armor was as fragile as a layer of paper, and did not provide even the slightest protection. "Holy, the Holy Light has also taught us to be thoroughly purified in the face of evil, and to return the world to pure ......"
"A god stick is a god stick, and the ability to reverse black and white is really clever." Brad drew his cane and ignored the priest, but said to Moore: "Leave it to me here, and when you have thrown away the corpses, send someone to the cemetery to catch them, and then lock them up first, I think the villagers need an explanation, and they need to be judged." “
"Isn't the shelter on the lower level, isn't it going down?" The pastor's mentality adjusts quickly.
"Naturally, it's down there, but you don't have to go that way." Brad said as he took out a gold coin and tossed it to the huntress, "So, your mission is done. “
Brad indifferently glanced at the corpse that was slowly being dragged by the spider, and turned to leave without looking back.
"Ahem......" The priest saw the huntress take the gold coin and put it directly into her backpack, without the slightest intention of giving it to him, "That gold coin should be half of mine."
“
The huntress gently held the longbow and asked calmly, "What did you say, the voice was too low to hear clearly." “
"I mean, you should divide ......," said the priest, for for for the first time the huntress's pet was revealed, and a translucent ice-blue leopard with its two front paws on the priest's shoulders, he could even smell the fishy smell coming from the leopard's mouth. When I looked back, I saw a large mouth full of sharp teeth and cold eyes.
The priest turned his head stiffly, his teeth chattering. "What I mean, yes, yes, I haven't made any effort along the way, and I naturally don't want any reward."
"Praise the Light." The huntress turned and walked in the direction of the cave.
"Praise the Light." The pastor's expression was uglier than crying.
With a whistle, the Soul Leopard rubbed all the saliva that overflowed from the corners of his mouth onto the priest's robes, and then ran vigorously towards the huntress.
In the depths of the cavern, there was only a stunned priest left, realizing the true meaning of the Light.
The Tirisfa family has been running the Jasper Collar for three generations, and by the time of Brad it was already the fourth generation, and Brad's father even wanted to build a city, although it was destroyed on a rumor of the founding of the country, it had returned to the pre-liberation period on the surface. But the foundation is still there, for example, many secret passages and secret rooms have been dug in the mines. As for the location and number of secret rooms and secret passages, only Patriarch Tirisfa would know the Dao, and now the only one who knew the Dao was Brad alone.
There is only one way to obtain these secrets, and that is to become the head of the house and sacrifice the Scepter of Tiris. In the previous life, because Tirisfa Sr. died so suddenly, he didn't even have time to tell him these secrets, and only asked Morgana to give the scepter to Brad.
It's just that Brad was too young at that time and had never experienced wind and rain, and it was inevitable that he would be unbalanced when he suddenly changed his heart, and the shattering of his professional mark hit him too hard. Morgana didn't care when she gave him an old cane that was about to break, until she inadvertently killed an adventurer with her cane more than a decade later, and then she learned the secret of Tirisfa.
But so what, at that time, the jasper mine had been taken over by Brilliant for more than ten years, and it had already been operated so solid that he couldn't get in, let alone take out the contents himself.
And in this life, he immediately thought of the cane, but he didn't look at the things in the secret room, and he didn't dare to use it, because no one dared to guarantee that the North Sea pirates would not appear "by coincidence" again, and the same applies to any era in any world.
The function of the cane is simple, there are only two, the key and the armor piercing. The key is naturally to open the secret passage of the Tirisfa family, and the armor piercing is indestructible in other words.
The secret passage to the first shelter is not far from the first to the second level of the shaft, and the roof of the cave is inlaid with a moon stone every other way, the light is soft, not dazzling, but enough to illuminate the secret passage.
If the Night Elves were to know that the holy stone they had bought at great cost was used as a light bulb, I am afraid that even Grandma Tai, who had been alone in the empty house for 10,000 years, would be tempted to throw away the banana in her hand and the Tirisfa family.
With a rumbling sound, Brad finally saw the absentees who were sitting in the shelter to recuperate.
One of them, a six- or seven-year-old Lori wearing a pleated skirt and a small ponytail, stared at her big amber eyes and shouted with surprise on her face: "Uncle Brad, you really came to save me"
Brad picked up little Jasmine who rushed over, wiped the dust off her face with his hands, his eyes were a little moist, yes, I came, but this sound I came thirty years ago.
Little Jasmine spoke in an affirmative tone, never doubting that Brad would come to his rescue. I can't imagine how desperate the little girl was in the last life, waiting day after day, without food, without relatives, and how painful it was to face hunger......
Little Jasmine didn't wait for Brad to answer, put her arms around Brad's neck, turned her head and said to the absentees in a crisp voice: "Look, I'm right. Uncle Brad will come to our rescue, look, it's happening!"
Looking back and seeing that Brad's eyes were red, little Jasmine asked suspiciously, "Uncle Brad, why are your eyes red, and you are crying too?" ”
"How come, it's just that the naughty ponytail touched your eyes when you turned your head just now, it's okay, it'll be fine for a while."
"Ah, it's all about seeing my uncle, Jasmine is so happy, I must pay attention next time, come, I'll help my uncle blow it."
Seeing Little Jasmine gently blowing his eyes, Brad secretly swore to himself, Little Jasmine, in this life, I will definitely let you grow up healthy and happy, what a simple wish, but what a luxury in this turbulent Azeroth.
The absentees in the shelter were a little depressed, but everything else was fine, and they were also touched to see the lord come to rescue them in person.
Brad asked about a foreman at the back of the corner.
The foreman recounted the appearance of the spider, and then concluded: "Lord Lord, a total of 8 people have died and there is no news of 5 people, I'm afraid ......"
"When you go back, write down the list and their family information, and then give it to me." Brad was expressionless.
At the entrance of the cave, a miner approached Brad with a priest who had just left the cave.
"Why didn't you come to me with half a gold coin?"
The corners of the priest's mouth twitched a few times, and he said with a sincere face: "That's the case, I just know that there seems to be no priest in your village, is it true?" “
"Hmph, that old god stick is cowardly, and he ran away as soon as he was scared by the violent bear, it's really useless, with the lord's uncle here, he will definitely be able to beat away the bad guy and the violent bear." Little Jasmine said angrily.
"Ahem, that's right, the Light has revealed that I won't abandon any place." The priest prayed sincerely, "And my wish is to let the light of the Holy Light shine on the world." “
"So what?" Brad asked.
Seeing the miners looking at him in reverence, the pastor straightened his chest and shouted, "So, I am willing to be the pastor of the church here." “
The miners cheered, and the guidance of the pastor was very encouraging for these absentees.
"I agreed."
Seeing that Brad was about to leave after I agreed, the priest hurriedly grabbed him and whispered, "This, did you forget something?" ”
"What?" Brad asked blankly.
"Ahem, it's a matter of remuneration, you know the Dao, the priest who presides over the church can get 20% of the territory's taxes, and I also know that the territory of the Dao is difficult, for the sake of the Holy Light, I just want 15%." The priest said with a reverent face.
"Oh, I see." Brad suddenly realized, grabbed the foreman next to him and asked, "Can you tell me about the income of our territory this quarter?" “
The foreman said with a sad face: "My lord, the pirates have robbed me of everything of value, and we have not been paid for three months. “
The priest said, "The light is above, and I suddenly ......"
Brad grabbed the priest and said loudly: "The Holy Light is above, did you hear, the priest said that he suddenly received a guidance from the Holy Light, and he could preside over the church without any cost and spread the light of the Holy Light. “
Without giving him a chance to discern, Brad continued to shout, "What are you still doing in a daze, don't cheer loudly, welcome our new priest of the Jasper Collar. “
Several able-bodied absentees cheered and threw the priest into the air, all of the priest's words choked in his throat.
"Praise the Light." Brad shouted.
"Praise the Light." The absentees shouted in unison, and their voices soared into the sky.
Looking calmly at the priest who was surrounded by the crowd, the corners of Brad's mouth were slightly hooked, and he muttered, "Since you want to play, then let's play." “……
