Book 1: The Believer of Light Chapter 72: Faith in the Heart

Blazing meteorites continue to emerge from the clear blue sky and then bombard this small border town of the Kingdom of Ovite, which has just suffered. Arthur rode on a hillside and looked at the small rock city that was already billowing with smoke and dust, and he couldn't understand why his comrades-in-arms, who had just been fighting side by side, faced each other with swords in the blink of an eye? Could it be that God's will can decide everything, and God's will can abandon the way of knighthood? Arthur couldn't understand it, and he didn't want to understand it. Even if the inhabitants of the city have been infected with zombie corpse poison, then it should be dealt with by the Ovite Kingdom, why can the Holy See make a claim.

Arthur looked at his teacher, Sir Horace, and stopped talking. Agaros felt a little sorry for Arthur, and when Arthur wanted to ask Sir Horace, he said: "The inhabitants here have been completely bewitched by the evil gods, and the glory of the gods can no longer shine here. Only purification can liberate their souls and bring them back into the arms of God. ”

"There are old people, women, and children there, are they also heretics, why do we attack them without discerning them?" Arthur asked. Agaros sighed and did not answer.

Sir Horace pointed his sword at Little Rock and said, "God's will is the way we are going." "Child, the struggle for faith is brutal. In God's eyes, there is only judgment and no salvation for the heathen. Ser Horace rode straight towards Little Rock, followed by the Knights of God's Right Hand.

The Paladins stormed the gates without any stopping, and under the barbarian attack, the exhausted defenders of Little Rock had no time to defend and suffered heavy losses. Then the attack of the Starfall Technique made the remaining defenders dying, seriously injured, or directly evaporated. Arthur carefully examined the surrounding environment, his eyes were full of broken walls, and there were several corpses lying next to the collapsed house that had been hit by the meteorite, as if they had been affected by the meteorite shock wave, and the corpses were in strange postures, and there were still burn marks on their bodies. Beneath the corpse of an adult male appears to be the body of a child.

Arthur couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and he prayed silently in his heart, hoping that God would forgive him for his cowardice. "Attention, all of you, beware of raids. "With the military order, all the paladins have drawn their weapons and are on guard.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Several sharp arrows burst through the air, but they were all blocked by the paladins swinging their swords. Then, in the collapsed house, dozens of Little Rock defenders rushed out and slaughtered the Paladins. They didn't ask why the Knights of God's Right Hand would launch an attack on Little Rock, which was now in a state of undying. Arthur held his shield to his chest and grappled with an enemy.

"Hurry up," Horace commanded, who was in the middle of the line. Arthur, who was still entangled with the enemy, looked good when he heard this, and sold a flaw, and when the enemy slashed over, Arthur blocked the attack with his shield, and then flashed sideways and sent the sword into the enemy's chest.

Looking at the defenders who died under his sword, Arthur's hand holding the lion's tooth trembled. I killed a soldier who was loyal to the Kingdom, and Arthur felt a sharp pain in his heart as if he had been clenched. The body no longer had strength, and the lion's teeth fell directly to the ground.

"William, what's wrong with you. Agaros noticed the change in Arthur and ran to Arthur's side and asked. "I'm fine. Arthur tried to stand up, but he stumbled and almost fell, but Agaros was quick to hold him up.

"It's okay. Can you go?" asked Agaros with concern. "I can. Arthur opened Agaros' hand, then steadied himself and walked towards the large army.

Having killed all the surviving defenders of Little Rock, the Knights of God's Right Hand advanced towards the Lord's Mansion, the only building in the city that is still intact. Sir Horace glanced at Arthur and left without saying anything.

The Paladins have not been attacked since they had eliminated the attacking enemy. They must have all been killed by the Starfall Technique, and those who didn't should have run away. Soon the Paladins arrived at their destination, the City Lord's Mansion.

This should be the focus and avoidance point of the meteorite attack, the houses at the gate of the city are still intact, and the buildings here are completely in ruins, only the city lord's mansion stands here alone, which looks extremely abrupt.

"All dismount and prepare to advance" Hearing this, all the paladins dismounted, holding shields and long swords, and surrounded the City Lord's Mansion.

The priests in the center of the team began to bless the Paladins with buff magic, a soft light emerging from Arthur's body, and the two-handed sword in his hand was attached to it with a shallow flame.

The paladins who "rushed" into a search and defense formation cautiously groped their way towards the city lord, and the crackling sound of the burning houses mixed with the footsteps of the paladins advancing like a symphony. Arthur stood at the outermost side of the line with his shield in hand, his eyes searching for enemies through his mask armor.

Rumble. The gate was broken open with fighting spirit, and the paladins quickly advanced into the city lord's mansion. In the empty house, Master Hogg was the only one watching the group of uninvited guests, with an incomprehensible smile on his face. Horace surveyed everything around him and nodded to his lieutenant, Warwick, beside him. Warwick then said, "The guard is lifted, and everyone quickly searches the house." ”

As the paladins dispersed their search, Ser Horace walked up to Master Hogg. "Honorable Lord Horace, Chief Knight of the Holy Knights of the Right Hand of God, I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way. There was still a smile on Mage Hogg's face, and he couldn't tell his anger at the Knights of God's Right Hand attacking Little Rock.

"Your Royal Highness. Master Hogg bowed to Arthur, who was standing behind Sir Horace. In this way, Arthur was ashamed, as the prince of the Ovite Kingdom, he actually helped outsiders to attack his own people, especially if this outsider was still the Holy See.

"My lord, no. Warwick walked over to Horace and shook his head, and Horace couldn't help but frown. The oracle of God must not be wrong, it must be hiding somewhere and not found.

Thinking of this, Horace couldn't help but raise his head and look at the wall behind Master Hogg, where a portrait of Arthur the Lionheart, the founding emperor of the Ovite Kingdom, hung there. Looking at the portrait staring at them, Sir Horace coldly ordered, "Take this portrait down!"

Seeing the paladin moving forward to take down the portrait, Master Hogg did not stop him, but looked at Arthur, whose face was becoming more and more pale, "Your Royal Highness, Prince." ”

Master Hogg's shout hit Arthur's heart, and Arthur felt a darkness that he couldn't control was about to emerge in his heart. "Come on, let go of the anger in your heart. Kill everyone in sight. The demon's whisper echoed in Arthur's mind.

"William, what's wrong with you. Agaros noticed that William, who was already in a trance, suddenly felt something, and an ominous aura emanated from his body.

"The glory of God is with you!" Sir Horace's majestic voice sounded in Arthur's heart, instantly suppressing the darkness in Arthur's heart, and Arthur gradually returned to his original appearance. Arthur said, "Thank you, teacher." Sir Horace did not look at Arthur, but at the portrait on the wall.

The moment the paladin's hand was about to touch the portrait, a blinding light erupted from the portrait and disappeared immediately. The paladin, who wanted to take down the portrait, was knocked to the pillar by the shockwave of the burst of light, and his life and death were uncertain.

Sir Horace glanced at the usual Hogg mage and nodded slightly to Soles beside him, who rushed towards the portrait with his sword in hand.

"Your Royal Highness, are you willing to let the people of the Holy See pollute the portrait of King Arthur so much?" Seeing that Soles wanted to split the portrait directly, Master Hogg immediately shouted anxiously to Arthur. "Everything is the glory of the sun god. Arthur's face was as usual at this moment.

A crack appears at the junction of the "Click, Click, Click" portrait and the heavy sword, and then the crack spreads like a spider's web, and finally the entire portrait is covered with cracks. Bang, the portrait was hit hard by the heavy sword, and it suddenly turned into a cloud of debris, leaking out of the secret room behind the portrait.

Horace looked at the man who had been escorted out of the portrait chamber and said to Master Hogg, "You know our purpose this time, hand over that boy. Your sins will be judged by God. Master Hogg looked miserable, ignored Sir Horace's words, and just stared blankly at Arthur. One of the people who was escorted out shouted angrily, "Blasphemous people are not worthy to believe in God," and it was clear that Warwick's act of breaking the portrait angered the people hiding in the secret room.

"Blasphemy, how can a mortal be called a god?" Sir Horace strode up to Master Hogg and lifted the lost mage up, "Lord Mage, hand over that thing, you mortals don't deserve it." But Master Hogg had been struck by Arthur's reaction, like a walking corpse, and there was no response.

Horace was not angry, he directly threw the Hogg mage to the ground, and then coldly looked at them to the side, and nodded to the knight beside him. The knight walked straight into the crowd and pulled a young boy out. Seeing the little boy being pulled away, the crowd became even more excited, and the body that wanted to rush over was grabbed by the paladin.

"Looks like it's him. It's a pity that such a lovely child. Horace touched the child's head, raised the heavy sword in his hand, aimed it at the child's head, and prepared to stab it. "Teacher, don't!" Arthur suddenly shouted. "Huh?" Horace stopped the heavy sword he was about to stab and looked at Arthur in bewilderment.

Arthur didn't know why he was speaking out to stop him, but there was a voice in his heart that kept saying: stop him, stop him. Look at the child's helpless and innocent eyes. He did something wrong. and they will be killed. Is it because there is no belief in the sun god? Doesn't the sun bring warmth and light? "Teacher, why did you kill him? He's just an innocent child," Arthur said in a trembling voice.

Horace didn't say a word, but withdrew the flames of the -Menikanel-Sun hanging in the air, and then walked to Arthur's side, handed a dagger with an ominous aura into Arthur's hands, and said, "The majesty of the Lord needs you to protect it. All the heathen will be burned in the flame of God. Arthur looked at the dagger in his hand, he understood that the teacher's will, or God's will, must be carried out, and he staggered to the little boy. Arthur looked at the little boy, as beautiful as himself, with a golden head covered in dust, and a blue crystal eye full of fear. Arthur couldn't bear to look at it anymore, but raised the dagger in his hand with a trembling voice, then closed his eyes and stabbed the dagger down.

Clang. The dagger did not pierce the soft flesh, but was blocked by the back of the sword. Arthur opened his eyes and saw the teacher looking at him coldly. "Kindness to the heathen, even to disrespect to God. William, don't have a next time. Menikar in Horace's hand snatched the dagger from Arthur's hand, and the dagger that was out of his grasp flipped a few times in the air before stabbing straight into the little boy's heart.

Arthur sat on the ground in prostration, not realizing that his back was already wet with cold sweat, he just looked at the little boy's eyes with tears in his eyes. Looking at the blue crystal pure eyes, there is reluctance to give up life.

Seeing the little boy being killed, the crowd all rushed towards the little boy's body like crazy. "Kill them all. Warwick ordered. For a moment, the temple was filled with screams and curses.

Horace crouched beside Arthur and pulled the dagger out of the boy's heart. An emerald green crystal floated out of the little boy's heart, and Horace took out a stone box engraved with intricate inscriptions from his bosom and received the emerald green crystal into the stone box. Then Horace turned his head and said coldly, "God can give you protection, and you must give everything to God." The struggle for faith is brutal. William, you've disappointed me. With that, Horace walked out of the temple, and the paladins who had been killed by all of them, including Mage Hogg, began to gather their equipment and walk out of the City Lord's Mansion with the chief. Two paladins lifted Arthur up and walked out with the group.

As the torch was thrown on the City Lord's Mansion, the originally majestic City Lord's Mansion suddenly burst into flames. Arthur stared blankly at the body of the little boy that was gradually consumed by the flames, and tears flowed from his eyes.

Standing on the hillside, Arthur no longer looked back at Little Rock, which had been spread by fire. He rode his horse and followed the army, and all he could say was one sentence in his heart: "Is this right, is this right?"

Kingdom of Ovite, Holy Mount of the Holy See - Jeruusas, Chamber of Secrets

Horace took the stone box from his bosom and placed it on the stone platform, and Tyrias immediately opened it. Emerald crystals float slowly in the air from the stone box, emitting a soft green light. Pope Peter XII exclaimed, "Such a wonderful light, is this the godhead of Sansi, the god of agriculture?" What we took from that little child according to God's will. Horace replied. "Unexpectedly, after the fall of the god Sanxi, the divine soul was not pulled into the astral boundary. He was able to bring the Godhead to the main plane and be reborn in the body of a child through the reincarnation of the soul. It seems that the child is the son of God Sansi left on the continent. Tyrias sighed, "If it weren't for the god-killing dagger that God had given us, I'm afraid this godhead wouldn't have been easily obtained." "Give the Godhead to the Lord. In this way, the divine system of the Lord will be more perfect. Horace, I will report your merits to the Lord truthfully. "The Way of Peter Doglus XII. "Thank you, Your Majesty. All is the glory of God," Horace said on one knee and bowed his head respectfully.

The Pope's Scepter tapped the ground and walked out of the chamber. Horace bowed to Tyrias and followed the Pope out of the chamber. And Tyrias tapped the stone platform with his right hand, and a pillar of light appeared in the center of the stone platform and soared into the sky, Tyrias held the godhead with both hands, put the godhead into the pillar of light, and the godhead disappeared in an instant.

With all this done, Tyrias put away the stone box and turned to leave the chamber. The Chamber of Secrets was quiet again.
