Chapter 132: Choice (Part II)

The mid-February snow has passed. Humidity in the air. It seems to mean that spring is coming

Early morning. With a light mist, the sun had risen in the east, and a mage in a gray robe led two people. As I crossed the mountain, my footsteps rustled when I stepped on the ground and the leaves of the trees were rotten

Under the hood. Fang Xin pursed his lips, the three of them were all people with strong physical strength, and it was not a problem to pass through these. Right now. Fang Xin stood still and looked down the mountain......

Distance. Hilly countryside below. It's like a piece of space, and it doesn't take much time. The green shoots in the field burst out of the ground. Brings hope for a good harvest.

Small pots, on shelves, the fire is burning, and dry food is placed in it.

Fang Xin took out a thick book. This is the record of the Holy Court of Light.

Fang Xin read silently, he was pondering the power and rules of the Sacred Court. as well as its soil.

In fact. Even when the Church of Light was at its strongest and most peak. There are always places where the tentacles can't reach.

As a feudal continent, kings and nobles are never puppets under the control of the Church—as a class that controls the mortal world, it is natural that they are constantly eager and trying to gain some degree of independence—and even manipulate and control the Church of Light!

This struggle between theocracy and kingship runs throughout. back then. When the Church of Light was at its strongest, the kings of the entire continent had to go to the Holy See to be dispatched. But it was short-lived.

The feudal system itself determines the division and even confrontation of interests and positions, unless the great unified empire is implemented, and the great unified empire itself is a threat to the theocracy, so this is an unsolvable problem.

As for theocracy, it's just a joke. The end of theocracy is only to face the responsibility and reaction of both the mortal world and the spiritual world. So. For the Holy See. Now may be the best system – but even so, the Holy See is trying to clear the way.

on this book. It is clearly written. Two hundred years ago. Although there is a big war with the Church of the Sun God. After losing most of the vitality of the land, but only a hundred years after recovery, the Pope tried to restore his dominance over the continent - the touchstone. It was the decree of the crusade against the kingdom of Recart - declaring that all holy armies who participated in the crusade against heresy would not be bound by the laws of the state, and that all their past and future sins would be forgiven by the Church. Debts owed are exempt from interest.

The war went on for twenty-one years. The war was brutal, and prosperous cities were reduced to ruins as they fought each other. And the rich countryside has turned into a barren wilderness after the fight. At least half of them. Burned, hanged, or beheaded.

There are even cities that are unable to distinguish between the Illuminati and the heretics. The Pope's instructions were: "Just kill them all." Let God discern who the people of his land are. ”

In the end, the king of the kingdom of Recart succumbed. He was forced to kneel in front of the papal envoy with his bare body exposed, and let the wattles rain down on him, but. Twenty-one years of long war. The Holy See's victory and defeat proclaimed the heavy cost of waging such wars.

This is for two hundred years. The Church of Light, the last major crusade against heresy.

“…… Look at that. I stand today over every peoples and nation. To pull out and shatter, to destroy and overthrow. and to build and establish the ......" is the foundation of the Holy Court. The gist of it. Let the reading party understand it confidently, and even smiled.

A piece of wood burst out with a shining spark, interrupting Fang Xin's thinking, the broth was ready.

Fang Xin took the wooden bowl and drank it, revealing a thoughtful look for a moment. He turned his gaze to the bottom of the hills, where the wind blew through the dense jungle and shook the branches.

Retracting his gaze, Fang Xin drank the broth unhurriedly, then finished the food, and finally said, "Wait until now, they are finally here." ”

Both were startled, but the Assassin Josiman didn't show any expression. Just keep eating. And Hadak changed color slightly. Take a breath. I continued to finish eating, but after eating, I asked, "Where are you now?" How many are there?"

"You should know that I have inherited the power of wind and water and earth, I just feel their information from the wind, as for how many people, it is not clear." Fang Xin said with reservations: "However." We can go check it out. ”

Speaking of which. He said with some regret: "I forgot something. I didn't even buy a small crossbow, or a bow and arrow. Otherwise, it's much easier now. Bows and arrows are the best option for the current situation. ”

"Next time I go to the township, I'll buy these through the church."

"Yes!" Fang Xin nodded, then got up and left. A faint mist appeared on his body, so his figure became hazy.

"It's a hidden fog!" Hadak looked complicated.

Concealment is a level 1 magic. Of course, there are priests who have the realm of wind and water. This technique can also be performed. Fang Xin didn't chant the mantra just now. Obviously, this is the embodiment of the realm of wind and water, a kind of spell.

Able to manipulate wind and water freely, and having already cast first-order realm spells, it seems that this man is indeed a descendant of a god - which is not something that ordinary magicians can do

But a moment later. Hadak then gave the order: "Josiman, you set a trap. We're going to be in this place, facing our old enemy. ”

"Yes, Reverend!" Josiman said solemnly, a moment later. He disappeared into the woodland.

Fang Xin rushed down, not only did the mist always follow him. Moreover, the combination of man and the wind seems to become a part of the wind and the earth, and the wind of nature is one.

The feeling is indescribable, and the body is much lighter on the spot without any special strength. And. The wind veins that have been successfully cultivated in his body are slowly increasing, and he can almost walk with the wind elves.

In this world. This power. It belongs to God and can be passed on to his descendants.

A moment later. I had already run to a corner of a wooded area. At the foothold, a stream flows slowly. The sound of tinkling water is heard.

It seems to merge with the wind. Becoming a part of nature, Fang Xin's gaze flashed the murderous intent and turned into a tyrannical part of the wind and land. Let the wind blow through the woods.

That's when it happened. A hundred meters away. In the group, a bright priest suddenly felt a huge heartbeat, this heart-throbbing feeling. Immediately put it on him. Stirred up a wave of holy power.

"Harmon, I just felt a very strange presence!" The priest said softly.

"It's the ground. Neil-sama, this feeling. Much like a druid. Another pastor said contemplatively, as a pastor, it is natural not only to have a reverent mind, but also to have a keen sense.

"Druids? There is possibility, but not much, that we are going to purify the object this time. But it has the power of wind and water. ”

"It's the ground. Looks like we're getting close to him, Lord Neil. Do you want to order a guard?"

"Of course, but I believe our paladins already know it."

Listening to the priest's words, the holy warrior had drawn his sword and saluted the god and the priest. The atmosphere of the battle immediately spread.

Very powerful combination. Although there are only twelve people, the average paladin is above level six, and the priest is also above level five!

It is unlikely to go beyond level five, because above level six. can be the assistant bishop of a small parish, or the presiding officer of a medium-sized church, of course, it is not excluded that the sixth-level priest will participate in this mission in order to become the presiding priest of the church as soon as possible.

As for himself, one is a level 2 mage/level 8 warrior. One is a level 2 priest. There is also a level 6 assassin, and the opponent's dispatch lineup is already theoretically ten times the combat strength.

Fang Xin sneered. The power of magic. Although it depends on the level, in fact, it also depends on the mage's purification and control. The more powerful the magician. The more you can purify the power of magic to a terrifying degree, the more low-level magic will exert incredible power.

Twelve people. End to end, form a battle formation, and walk slowly. Go straight up, however, to hilly woodland. Naturally complex. It can't be connected forever.

When left ground a paladin. When stepping over a stone. Suddenly, almost at the same time as him, a human form suddenly appeared in the morning mist, and a mysterious incantation was chanted softly on his lips, almost majestic, unheard, and extremely fast.

The paladin reacted immediately, and his whole body was shocked. Reflexively wielding a sword. Aggressive, with armor on his body. A long sword in his hand. The Holy Light began to emerge - the "Glory Weapon", which was after the Holy Warrior reached the sixth level. The most practical skill - can make weapons and armor sacred, and naturally has many mysterious and powerful effects.

Almost at the same time. The other holy warriors immediately counterattacked. Once close. It's a thunderbolt-like attack!

And the nearest holy warrior, the holy light just flashed, the spell had been completed, Fang Xin pointed at it, and a beam of black light rushed into the holy warrior's head. Suddenly, the light floated.

This is the art of terror!

This is a first-level magic that can extract dark energy. And attack its spirit. On the other side will be paralyzed and frightened. Although the time is short. But it's enough.

Of course, it's not useful for everyone, but it's actually a comparison of quality - the purity of extracting the negative energy from Fang Xin naturally has different effects.

I saw this paladin. The whole body was stunned, and then I watched a black light flash. It was a long sword with negative energy, and suddenly, a blood mist floated out!

Almost simultaneously, two beams of lilac light emitted. One after the other, but all at an unconcealable speed. It shot straight at Fang Xin.

"Bondage!"

Second-level divine art, name: Bondage. Or human immobilization, which can immobilize a human for half a minute.

Fang Xin hit. But there was not the slightest sign of being restrained. Plunged into the forest, the wind surrounding him at all times. Keep him away quickly.

Behind the scenes, Pastor Neal turned pale, and Harmon looked incredulous.

This kind of combat is the standard low-level priest combat procedure of the Church of Light - using restraints to immobilize the enemy and have the paladin slay him.

In most scenarios, this tactic is very effective. But. Now the secondary restraints are all invalid, which makes the two priests ready to do one-third of the divine magic today. It becomes useless.

That one had its throat slit. Blood-spattered paladins. Pounce on the ground. Pastor Harmon only stepped forward to look at it, and then shook his head, this injury. It is irretrievably healing, and it is not a panacea. Basically, it only has the effect of simple wound healing. Delicate nerves cannot be repaired. There is no such thing as a resurrection, which may be the power of God's angels.

In the first battle, one person was lost. Know the situation.

"Lord Neil. What's going on?" Harmon looked back and asked, he was a fifth-level priest. Although only one level below Neil. But in the church, the fifth and sixth levels are completely different things, and the sixth level is already in a new class.

Unbound Divine Arts. It was the first time he had encountered and seen it, although it had been seen in history. But it's all high-level battles. The enemy is completely different.

"Maybe it's the power of the wind. But the field of wind and the field of freedom. Still a little different. As a Level 6 Priest, Neil already has access to some information about the Mid-Level Priesthood, he muttered.

The wind naturally has a free-spirited side. But after all, it is not a specialized field of freedom, and now the sixth- and fifth-level priests of their own side are restrained. It's very strange that it can't work on the other side.

Thinking about this, Neil's face was cloudy. The strangeness of the other party was beyond his imagination - last report. only said that the other party used a poisonous mist for a sneak attack. It's not about immunity, or else. Not to mention the personnel dispatched, it is a divine technique of preparation. It's not at all the same.

But. A moment later. He prayed in a low voice: "O God, may your will be done as it is in heaven." ”

With a gritty look, he has decided to continue fighting.
