Five hundred and nineteen Crimson Saintess, new believers and adventurers

"Well done, Betty!"

"Come on, Holy Betty!"

"Lady Crimson is watching over you!"

On the street outside the tavern, a petite maiden stood on a table stacked with barrels and crates, and gave an impassioned speech. Under the stage, a group of people dressed in simple linen robes like her gathered, applauding and cheering, and from time to time pulling passers-by to ask them to listen.

"The Divine Plateau is the promised land of the Crimson Lady! He wants us to establish the kingdom of God on earth here! He has mercy on all who suffer! He tells us that all people are strong and happy because they believe in Him!"

"Passers-by, wake up! There is no distinction between civilians and transcendents in this world, we mortals are all the same! The gods you believe in divide mortals into commoners and transcendents, this is not right!"

"Look at me! As long as you chant the name of the lady, as long as you believe that everyone is for me, I am for everyone, I also have extraordinary power!"

The girl shouted, placing her hand on a divine power calibrator on the side of the street, the light flashing, and the number six-six-six was displayed on the screen at the top.

"Behold, can your gods be so generous to mortals? No one, no god can be so selfless and just!"

"Kem has been twisted in his will, and Longrd has gone mad, even the goddess of nature and magic can't share his power with every believer!"

"Because our Crimson Lady is not simply giving strength, but gathering the strength of everyone!

"As long as everyone puts aside superfluous and unnecessary desires, dedicates themselves wholeheartedly, and gathers as a whole, there is nothing that cannot be done!

"Start by quitting greed, chanting the lady's name, people share everything with each other, communion is only the first step......"

When the girl named Betty shouted, a faint silver-white light overflowed from her body, which made the linen-robed believers below even more enthusiastic, and shouted in unison for the Holy Maiden.

It looked like Betty had received the favor of the Crimson Lady and sent down her divine grace, and the worshippers crowded the entire street. The vast majority of these believers are immigrants from the Fallen Tower area, and their enthusiasm has been fully aroused after various activities such as sanitation campaigns and war mobilization, and now they have become even more insane and inhuman when miracles are revealed.

Betty raised her arms and shouted: "Comrades, spread the gospel to our compatriots who have not yet awakened, even if we can awaken even one, it will be our merit, and the lady will be happy about it!"

Listeners poured out into the streets, catching pedestrians, mostly adventurers, preaching. These passers-by pretended to be listening attentively, and their previous experience had taught them that the end of arguing with these believers was miserable. Running away or pushing them away will be even worse.

There are still some adventurers who don't know what's going on, either scolding the neurotic or pushing people, and then the whistle blows, and the security officer of the Beta City Public Safety Bureau appears.

Most of them were also security officers of immigrants in the Fallen Tower District who stopped those adventurers and reprimanded them with a straight face.

"Just preaching to you about the teachings of the Crimson Lady, you are so impatient, you are blasphemy!"

"Movement and teleportation are not allowed in Beta! You violated the Public Safety Management Regulations, come with us!"

"Everyone is equal on the Divine Fall Plateau, even if you are an extraordinary person, you can't hurt civilians for no reason......!

There are also safety officers who were originally adventurers, patiently persuading: "Just listen to it, when it's chatting, there won't be a piece of meat missing." ”

Some pedestrians who were stripped of their clothes and bags complained to the security officer, but the other party either pretended not to hear or made a statement to the believer.

The kind security officer pointed to the front and sighed: "The rules here are like this, pay more attention to it in the future." ”

In the square ahead, the loudspeakers were playing a cheerful tune, and of course it was this all day, and even if it was cheerful, it would make people vomit. Hundreds of neatly lined up old men and old ladies danced in unison in the square, dancing and singing: "You are my little apple, one person has you and me......"

"This ...... How so?"

Having just completed her initial training at the Epsilon Intermediate Course, Mayne felt as if she had gone to the wrong place when she returned to the city to familiarize herself.

"Betty!?"

Then she saw the girl who started to give a new round of speeches on the stage, wasn't that the Betty of District 32 when she was the liaison of the neighborhood committee before?

"Winnie, Betty, what's wrong?"

Mayne saw her acquaintance again, Winnie, dressed in a linen robe, who was talking to someone in a low voice, and was startled by her, and reluctantly smiled and waved her hand, "I'm still busy waiting to find you!

Mayne had no choice but to hold her aunt Temanlin, and the middle-aged woman said happily, "What else, Betty has won the favor of Lady Crimson and has become a saint!"

"This ...... How is that possible?"

Mayne subconsciously shook his head, not to mention that Betty is an introverted and timid girl, let's just say that the saint ......

In Epsilon, she began to come into contact with some of the secrets of the Fei Gong, and there were only a few saints of the Crimson Lady, and they had their own priesthoods. For example, the crimson justice she has, in addition to the chief cardinal, corresponds to the crimson saintess Qili.

Betty has become a saint, she should know.

"Didn't Betty almost get ruined by the adventurers on Victory Day?"

"Then she prayed to Lady Crimson reverently, and she was the first to gain strength. You see, six-six-six-like, there are few among the commoners who can surpass her, and there was a miracle when she gave a speech just now! Why is she not a saint!?"

An old woman next to her trembled and said, "Yes, little Betty must be a saint!" But no one from the priests of the church came to congratulate her and welcome her into the temple.

Mayne secretly gasped, and the words of the City Lord of Stan and several cardinals rolled through her again.

"The Crimson Lady represents the path of revolution, a new god unlike any of the old gods. True strength comes from true faith, and true faith focuses only on the path, not on the name of the god of the Crimson Lady. Reciting the name of God and praying to the lady gives you the power to be hypocritical, and you must be careful not to fall into this trap. ”

At the time, I thought it was a little strange that they had deliberately emphasized this, but now that I think about it, did they know that such a thing happened?

Mayne can tell the difference between the two, because if you believe in justice, you will believe in Longer, and Longer and justice are one. But when the two are not one, of course she insists on justice, not ronde.

Now in such a situation, could it be that the will of the Crimson Lady who was rumored in private has also been divided, is it actually true?

"She's not ......"

Mayne tried to explain, but as soon as she spoke, the puzzled and strange gazes of Temanlyn and the many other residents she knew shut her up again.

I can't tell you what these people are, but they don't know what gods are and what ways are. With regard to faith, they could not tell the difference between the two.

"Everyone is right, the Crimson Church is twisting the will of the Crimson Lady and monopolizing the faith of mortals. ”

"Queen Theresia has ascended the throne as the empress, and what she has done is to overthrow the church that monopolizes the divine will, and the Crimson Church must be very unhappy. ”

"Everyone has the right to face God directly, not to be separated by the church. Now we can feel the lady directly, and we can directly receive the blessing of the lady!"

Believers, you and I said word by word, Mayne had just come out of the Epsilon, and the mung bean sprout badge of the Fighting Youth Corps on her chest was replaced by the smiling five-pointed star sun badge of the official members of the Fei Gong, and she became a priest of the Crimson Church in the eyes of these people, a "church lackey" who tried to monopolize the will of God.

Mayne finally understood what Aurora and the other mentors had said to their students: "The situation in Beta City is very bad right now, our revolutionary beliefs are distorted, but we can't find a way to correct it for a while. I can't tell you why, but when the cardinal returns, we'll try to solve it. Our hope for you is just not to get involved in this turmoil, just stick to it silently. ”

At that time, he didn't understand the bitterness and helplessness on the faces of the mentors, but now Mayne feels that the expression on his face may be exactly the same as the mentors at that time.

"Don't cause conflicts, but figure out the specific situation", Mayne silently admonished herself, patiently communicating with these "red believers".

On the corner of the street, Winnie glanced at Mayne, who was surrounded, and whispered to another person, "With the presence of the Fei Gong, you can do it." ”

The man shuddered, "Now?"

Winnie nodded: "Right now!" I heard that the Duke of Prell is coming back soon, and if you don't do it, you won't have a chance." ”

Seeing that the person was still hesitating, she said in a low voice: "I don't want you to come out, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Good...... Okay", the man gritted his teeth and said, "Three hundred gold bushels, and a direct channel to the Koster Kingdom." ”

Winnie nodded: "I'll get it ready for you." ”

The man hurried away, and Winnie looked left and right, finding the closest place to the junction, and shouted like the other believers, and did not seem to have anything out of the ordinary.

After a while, Betty on the stage spoke again about the teachings of the Crimson Lady, and rebuked the other gods for their hypocrisy and powerlessness, and the crowd suddenly burst into angry shouts: "Even if you are the saint of the Crimson Lady, you should not blaspheme our lord!

A thorn-like spike shot at the stage, and before Mayne could react, the girl's slender body was shot into the air by the spikes, blooming with blood flowers, and she lost her breath on the spot.

The scene fell into a terrible silence for a moment, and only the frightened and feeble voice of the adventurer who looked like a druid or a forest ranger could be heard: "She, isn't she a saint?

I don't know who shouted at a high level: "He killed the saint!

Another shouted, "Kill him!"

The crowd was in a roar, and the adventurer was naturally unwilling: "You pariahs! If you want to die, come if you want to! Don't blame me!"

The screams kept ringing, the whistles kept ringing, and in a matter of moments, the streets were clearly divided between the adventurers and the "Crimson Believers", from fists and feet to swords and swords, and then to the brilliance of magic flashing one after another.

By the time Stan led a large group of guards to subdue both sides of the battle with various magic techniques, dozens of corpses had fallen on the streets, most of them civilians in linen robes, and a few of them were low-level adventurers.

Mayne and several of the security officers who arrived first were also covered in blood and were trying to save the injured, and she looked up at Stan, both of whom had shocked and disbelief in their eyes. The crowd gathered beyond the streets, the intense hostility between the commoners and the adventurers, turned to deep apprehension.

At the Beta City Hospital behind Mary's Square, the wounded were brought in one by one, and, who had just finished a routine check-up, walked out of the gate shirtless, and the crescent-like black marks from his shoulders to his chest were extremely eye-catching.

"I'll just say, there will be this day", looked at the bloody wounded on a stretcher, and gloated to the team members who greeted him: "These street sweepers, farm people, and only shout cheers, they can't even use magic guns, and they want to share our wealth, now you know who is powerful, right?"

The team members sighed: "But the church is on their side, public ownership...... No, it seems that now it is a co-ownership system, and it is all proposed by the church. ”

Another member of the team sneered, "Church? I heard that Erika has become a corrupt city, the Kem church has been killed, and the Kem believers can directly face the gods, and the Crimson Lady is the same, what is the use of the church?"

"And Duke Prell, this is a dukedom after all," said, "so the headache is that he's not us." ”

"So what do we do?"

The team members were indignant......

"We have paid so much for this war, and we have killed several partners, what kind of communal system should we let these crimson believers engage in, and what about our hard-earned money!?"

"And our Poplar Town, which we built with our own hands, is it going to be shared?"

"Still want to stay here?Look at the faces of those crimson believers, they are dead now, and they will definitely take revenge on the adventurers!"

sneered: "I've contacted the captains of many squads in the hospital, and I'll go and redeem our adventure points later! This is a hellish place, whoever likes to stay can continue to stay! The empress has just ascended the throne, and there is a need for manpower everywhere, let's go to Valentine!"

The team member said helplessly: "There is a limit to the number of points that can be exchanged now......"

"Restrictions?"

patted the black marks on his body: "This is the medal I got in this war! we can fight to protect the Divine Fall Plateau, and we can also fight to protect the property we deserve!"

The team members looked at each other in horror: "Fighting against the legion of the Fei Gong?"

"Aren't there adventurers in the Legion?"

's eyes flashed with a blazing light: "I don't believe it, the adventurers of the entire Godfall Plateau are united, what else can't be done!"
