Blacktown.

Herbert's plan to plant the stake went unexpectedly well, Guy was not only him, but the Knight Chief Cecil of the Church was also slightly injured by the "Skull Trap" - the heir doesn't matter, anyway, I don't want to be decent for a long time - but Cecil can't, saying that he was blown up by Herbert's mechanism, then my majesty is gone? How will you lead your subordinates in the future?

So it has to be an attack by a necromancer!

The chief knight swore that it was an attack of necromancy, and the necromancer stood on the stairs and fought him for 300 rounds...... This turned out, and later traces of necromancy were detected at the center of the explosion. And the church infused Herbert with light energy in the name of healing, and Herbert's spirit was not good...... This also proves that he is not a necromancer, so he should be the target of the necromancer's assassination.

As for why Lord Cecil was blown up as well...... Bad luck.

This also helped Cecil - when he saw the ghost pirate followed by the Siren, and the siren gradually revealed the tall image of the three members of the Pig King's family, he immediately realized that this was a trap! However, he thought about it, he felt that these bosses were here to consume the precious divine power of the artifact he had taught - so he decisively pretended to be unconscious! Next, I'd rather fill it with the lives of the church than use the rest of the artifact!

Legend has it that these artifacts can be used once a day. But now it would be good to be able to save up energy once in twenty years, and some of them will be completely scrapped after use.

All because of the fact that the church received less and less support from God after the apathy with God. In the past, the priests of the Pious sect could still obtain divine magic, but recently even the Pious sect can't do it. As a result, the Church had to create a new faction of asceticism, which studied "primitive" doctrine and gained access to divine magic—anyone who is not a fool understands what this means! But in the face of enormous worldly power and interests, the church's top brass are all willing to be "fools."

Groups of Church warriors descended from the castle and joined the battle lines in Blacktown.

This means that the road to the castle on the hill has finally opened.

"How are you?" Shen Yan withdrew his gaze from the window, turned to Herbert who was lying on the bed and asked. The guards defending the City Lord's Mansion were also emptied, and Shen Yan came in with Catherine swaggering.

The battle outside the window was almost white-hot, with severed limbs and flesh flying, and people dying every second. Theoretically, all of this was caused by Shen Yan, and Shen Yan was also partly responsible for the deaths of those people...... But Shen Yan looked at Catherine like that just now, and there was no mood swing at all! After so many things, he has long been the new civil servant who was still a little naïve.

After such an encounter, he was about to enter the camp of goodness and return to neutrality.

"If I hadn't been cautious, I would have almost died!" Herbert pulled out an iron plate from under the bed and showed it to Shen Yan, only to see that the flat surface of the metal was covered with pits the size of peanuts! These were all hit by the fragments of the explosion of the skeleton trap, and the consequences of hitting those fragments on the body were unimaginable.

"Isn't this dead, don't be so hypocritical if it's a man! Since you are still alive, remember to ...... to Mr. Atwood Her Majesty's heartfelt thanks! Shen Yan said with a half-tentative smile, if he lacked the courage to implement this plan in his chest, then how could Herbert completely remove himself from this matter?

Catherine glanced at Shen Yan quietly, and said in her heart Is he confused? Atwood, the god of courage, is on our side.

"Atwood...... Ah, you're talking about the former god of courage. I remember that it was sixty or seventy years ago, and I can't imagine that you still remember this crown. Also, seventy years is already two or three generations for humans, but for elves it is like ten years older. Herbert was a little envious as he spoke, sticking three muskets into his belt, and then taking out a large leather bag from the back of the cabinet.

The purse was apparently specially made, with numerous small pockets inside, either containing potions or powders. These are Herbert's real belongings, and his real profession is a level 17 alchemist. "We can go now!"

Catherine poked Shen Yan in disbelief, and what Herbert had just said startled her.

Shen Yan waved his hand, signaling Catherine to calm down. Then when he followed Herbert downstairs, Shen Yan asked casually. "Ex, you say? What happened seventy years ago? Has anyone challenged the god of courage? Can you tell me more, I'm interested in history. ”

"You don't know? Almost everyone on the continent...... Well, that was then. After so many years of hard work by the church to cover it up, not many people know the truth. Herbert walked in the direction of his small courtyard at Shen Yan's suggestion, and continued as he spoke. Do you know that the Great Emperor and the God of Courage signed the "Discussion of Man and God"? You don't know about that...... You just said you like history?

Well, it's roughly the original agreement between the Great Emperor and the God of Courage, that is, the Atwood crown, that the gods will withdraw from the main plane, let civilization decide its own future, and the gods will judge right and wrong after a thousand years! At that time, with good wishes, both parties signed the agreement.

Unfortunately, things are not as rosy as they seem! Not long after, out of the struggle for the territory of the old elves in the west, the empire declared that the lizardmen were a branch of the fishmen, the vanguard of the fishmen's invasion of the continent, and officially declared all-out war on the lizardmen. The Western War lasted for more than twenty years, and the lizardmen, who were finally defeated, withdrew from this world completely under the leadership of their heroes.

I remember that the hero was called ...... Ozcut? Ozwart? I can't remember.

And then there are the dwarves...... It's still the same set, declaring that the dwarves are the inner response of the demons, balabala, and weaving a bunch of crimes...... Then the dwarves also left.

When only humans are left on land, humans begin to toss themselves. The Empire is divided, the Demon Destruction Movement, Alchemy is illegal, the Nature Cult is accused of heresy, and the Urban Elf Germ Spread Act...... Alas~ I think that at that time, His Majesty Atwood probably felt that he had made an irreparable mistake, and he passed the throne to the elect Matilda, and also left this world. ”

Catherine shook Shen Yan's arm violently, don't lie to me, I heard the names of Omar and Marty!

"Who is the Great Emperor?"

“…… The Constance family, His Majesty Sandy. Herbert was already desperate for Shen Yan's history.

Catherine shook Shen Yan's arm frantically, and I heard Sandy again, the guy in Stormwind who was smuggling with us! He became emperor!

"Constance again! Is it true that the emperor of their family has been written into the laws of the world? Shen Yan couldn't help but complain.

The history of the Constance family as emperor is not hundreds of years, but lasts for thousands of years, comrade brother! This time is changed to Huaxia, and the dynasty has risen for many generations! And the Constance family was about to fall, and as a result, a master of the revival appeared, Asa Constance, who successfully continued his life for a hundred years...... Seeing that it was going to be finished again, it turned out that there was another Sandy Constance! Dirt!

"Sandy told me that he didn't want to be an emperor...... Shen Yan muttered to himself, and then asked, "What about Xiuvarie?" Where's Erica?! ”

“…… There's a big library under the castle, and I think it's worth spending half an hour looking at the history. Herbert said helplessly. You don't even know the history of the rise and fall of the Storm Kingdom, so if I tell you about the legend of the Sword of Kings throughout history, wouldn't you be even more confused? ”

The Sword of Kings - I made it!

*****

The two-story building where Shen Yan and Catherine lived, because it was not only humans affected by the "Fear Emblem", but even monsters were reluctant to approach, so it couldn't be more hidden at the moment.

The house is backed by a cliff, which Shen Yan and Catherine have already arranged. When they lifted the long grass that was hidden, they revealed the climbing rope nailed to the stone wall below! Needless to say, the three of them simply followed the rope to the cliff where the castle was located.

There were two guards standing at the main gate of the castle ruins, who were tricked open by Shen Yan with "suggestion", and the three of them walked into the castle through the main gate - an hour ago, there was a whole squadron of church soldiers stationed here, and they couldn't sneak in quietly by any means!

"Go down here." Herbert showed the way with emotion. Along the way, Shen Yan looked at Shen Yan's understatement to solve the problem, as if everything was a coincidence. If Herbert hadn't been involved, he wouldn't have known, the bureau had been laid out a week or two ago.

Before entering the underground, Shen Yan installed another "Fear Emblem" on the gate.

"No one will bother us for a short time."
