Chapter 20: The Chaplain of the Army

What happened in the outside world had nothing to do with John now. John is still in the bandits' lair, communicating with the Templar squads and mercenaries who have come to their aid.

Originally, the Templar team and mercenary adventurers were very nervous when they saw a figure in front of them, and they drew their swords and bows. Thankfully, however, there were people in the group who knew John. Not to mention the mercenary adventurers who had been drinking and celebrating in the bars of the Grey Forest, there were many people among the Templars who remembered the little sun that day. After seeing who was on the other side, they all breathed a sigh of relief and put away their weapons.

You haven't forgotten what happened at the Grey Forest Bar a few days ago. Not only did it not forget, but it became an interesting story among the drinkers of the Gray Forest Bar, and even the sales of Barrow's meatloaf and onion soup increased. Many drinkers who had just come to drink also bought them for dinner, and said they wanted to try the meatloaf soup that would make a knight with a strong faith enjoy.

Therefore, after recognizing John, everyone's first reaction was: "This is a powerful knight who can easily induce fluctuations in the power of the sun and has a firm faith." With this inherent impression, and the fact that most of the mercenary adventurers are from the Nimitz Kingdom or neighboring countries, it is naturally reassuring to understand the teachings of the Eternal Radiant Sun Sect. And after this, a question arose in everyone's hearts, could it be that the believers of the evil gods had been wiped out by the Great Knight?

In this case, it is natural to have some contact, and after everyone put away their weapons, Gamble automatically asked to go over and communicate with the knight opposite, and the deputy captain of the temporary position of captain naturally did not object, so he agreed.

Seeing that the opposing team did not show obvious hostility, John put away the sword he had just recovered, put the spear on his back, and began to communicate with the Gamble knight who came over.

John first inquired about the purpose of the other party, and learned that these knights and adventurers had come here because they had received orders to come here to exterminate the cultists of the evil gods, so he naturally remembered the monsters who had fought hard with him just now, so he asked, "Cultists of the evil gods?"

When Gamble heard this, he quickly nodded: "Yes, it is indeed Jamilo, the god of the swamp." Jamero has a poisonous priesthood and is also the patron saint of lizards and poisonous snakes, and most of his miracles are mainly based on the use of poisonous curses and the control of reptiles, which is very difficult. This believer was wanted by us before, but he was slippery and couldn't catch his tail. ”

John touched his chin, turned around and pointed, and asked, "By the way, some of the merchants who were captured in the back are still alive, but they can't wake up no matter how they scream, and I think they may have been poisoned or cursed by you." Would you like to go and see?" Gamble heard this, and didn't care about being close to John, remembered his identity, and thought that after John said hello, he hurriedly ran back to find the chaplain.

When John saw Gamble running away in a hurry, he always felt that this kid was a little unreliable. Before John could make any moves, there was movement in the procession again, and Gamble ran over with another man in chain mail with a war hammer and shield in his hand. Before he could get in front of John, Gamble began to introduce: "This is our squad's chaplain Laika senior. Laika senior, this is the knight senior who was favored by the gods in the Gray Forest bar a few days ago. At this point, Gamble got stuck, and he didn't know John's name yet.

When John saw this, he first made a salute: "Hello, I'm John." The military priest on the other side also saluted back: "Eternal Radiant Sun Sect Priest Laika." This time we are here to exterminate the bandits and pursue the cultists of the evil gods, I heard that they have been solved by Your Excellency?" John waited for Laika to retract his actions and said, "It can't be counted as my solution, when I arrived here, that Jamiro's believer had already killed all the bandits as a sacrifice." I just killed the cultist and the three monsters he had summoned. ”

Laika and Gamble looked at John in surprise and said, "It seems that His Excellency John's strength is very high, even I can't say that I can defeat the heroic warriors of Jemiro, let alone three." John and Laika walked towards the hall as they spoke, still explaining the situation to Laika: "When I arrived, I thought it was strange, and I smelled blood not long after I entered the cave. Later, two bandits guarding the gate were found at that door, but before I could act, they themselves had already fallen to the ground holding their stomachs, and I guess they had been poisoned - you said that Jamiro was good at using poisons, and I guess his followers did it. Then he went inside, and at a fork in the road he heard no sound, and hid in another cave where cattle and horses were herd. I saw three figures pass by, one of them presumably a priest, with a book in his hand, followed by two monsters. I hurried in as soon as they were out, and found the hall and the temple behind it. John pointed to the entrance to the temple in front of him: "But the situation inside is a bit serious, there is a large blood pool, judging from the amount of blood, it takes a lot of people to drain the blood to reach this blood volume, in addition to the monster - it is estimated that the heroic spirit of Jamilo you said is there to guard the work." After I killed it, I saw that there were merchants who had fainted and couldn't wake them up, and I thought that some priest was probably bringing a heroic spirit to bring back the unconscious bandits at the door, so I ran to the door and ambushed them, and after killing them, I thought about bringing the cattle and horses over there, and took these unconscious merchants out to find someone to save them, and you came. ”

As he spoke, the three of them had already entered the main hall, and the first thing they saw was the fountain filled with blood, and the merchants who fell next to the fountain. As soon as he saw the man who had fallen there, Laika walked briskly, the warhammer and shield he had been carrying in his hand were also hanging from his waist, and took out from his bosom a parchment presumably the teachings of the Eternal Shining Sun Sect and a sun-shaped charm. Laika holds the charm in one hand and opens the parchment book in the other. However, Laika did not immediately begin chanting hymns or hymns, but instead examined Lawrence. Laika started with Mike, who was a little outside, and finally it was Lawrence's turn.

After examining Lawrence, Laika stood up with a look of surprise on her face: "Their symptoms are indeed inhaled into Jamilo's poison gas and passed out, and Jemiro's miracle does have this kind of miracle that makes people unconscious-sleeping breath." But strangely, Sleep Breath doesn't stand out in Jamero's miracle, either in terms of lethality or attrition. Could it be that this priest wants a sacrifice?", Laika turned to Gamble and said, "Gamble, you go to that pool of blood over there and check to see if there is a god mark." Gain's expression became a little serious when he heard the divine pattern, and after nodding in agreement, he turned around and walked towards the pool of blood.

While Gamble was inspecting around the fountain, the adventurer mercenaries and the remaining Templars had already entered the temple hall. Some of the younger people couldn't help but run to the side and vomit when they saw the pile of bloodied corpses and the central pool of blood next to them, and the other people who didn't vomit had abnormal expressions and turned blue. The Templars were fine, seeing that Gamble was looking for something around the pool of blood, and realized something, and hurriedly ran over to inquire about the situation. Similarly, as a clergyman, he was also nervous after hearing the divine tattoo, and immediately dispersed and searched for it. On the contrary, John and the mercenary adventurers were at a loss, so John did not go there to make trouble, and walked towards the mercenaries and adventurers.

Speaking of which, John always called them mercenary adventurers, but in fact they are two classes - mercenary, and adventurer. The main work of the two professions is sometimes different. Most of the tasks of mercenaries are called up as a backup force of a country in war, and when there is no war, they will take on some tasks such as exterminating bandits, while adventurers usually take on tasks that do not directly confront people, such as finding a rare animal or medicine, looking for civilization relics in an area, etc. There is also a mutual disdain between the two professions, with the mercenaries being seen as a bunch of wild dogs eating human flesh in the eyes of the adventurers, and the mercenaries looking at the adventurers as sissies who can't even use knives. However, this mission is related to the cultists of the evil gods, and it is very likely that there will be a heroic spirit who has been summoned, so that the two can temporarily put aside their grievances and take on a mission at the same time. Even so, it's that you don't accept me, I don't accept your state, if it weren't for the Templar leader, I guess I would have gone our separate ways a long time ago.

John saw the Sunshine Brave in the party, the noisy Adventurers in the Grey Forest. The last time I listened to Barrow, I knew that the Sunshine Brave Yarn Troupe had just completed a large mission in which all the members of the group participated in and celebrated in the store. However, depending on the situation, they took on this task the next day, and it seems that they still attach great importance to the matter of exterminating the cultists of the evil gods. However, as can be seen from the name, this adventure group worships the Eternal Sunny even if it is not a believer in the Eternal Sun. This time, the church mission directly assigned by the knights of the Eternal Radiant Sun Sect was also normal for them to participate.

When John walked up to them, someone from among the Yang Adventurers began to greet them. John looked at it and it turned out to be Paul, a member of the Sunshine Brave. Since John didn't find anyone he knew among the mercenaries, he walked over to the adventurer.

John walked over to Paul and asked, "Didn't you say in the Grey Forest that you should take a break after finishing your mission?"

Paul said excitedly, "Who wants to rest when they receive this task?" Hey, Lord Knight, did you kill the cultists?" John nodded, "If you're talking about Jamilo's followers, I killed them." Most of the adventurers around had originally focused on this side, but when they heard this, they all let out a sigh of amazement.
