"Legion Commander...... My lord?" Joe was stunned for a moment before realizing what the other party's identity represented, and finally understood where the inexplicable familiarity he felt when he first met came from, just- how could this be?

"I ...... I don't understand, you should ......have died heroically in a battle against the Evil Moon," Falina swallowed, "And the Divine Punishment Samurai are devout warriors who give their bodies and minds to the gods, and they almost never—"

"Never speak, just dumb," Zoe interrupted, "it has nothing to do with piety, they can't speak just because their brains have been cleansed. If we don't, we won't be able to be a proper shell for our use. ”

Shell use?

"What the hell are you talking about......"

"Let me ask you first, how exactly does the church propagate God's punishment army?"

Joe was the first to reply, "A warrior who has attained the power of the gods, the nemesis of the evil witch, and the best hope of the Church to save the world, only a determined and fearless believer can have this honor." He paused slightly, "We used to think that saving the world was to defend the Great Breach and prevent the evil beasts from invading the interior, but it was in the suicide note of Lord Teucer Taal that we learned of the War of Divine Consciousness and the existence of the Devil. ”

"So the Divine Punishment Army is actually a special force against the devil," Falina continued, "only the Privy Council of Hermes knew how to carry out the conversion ritual, but now it was all ruined by Roland Wimbleton. ”

It does sound moving, but unfortunately none of it is true. Zoe smiled contemptuously, "Your so-called Divine Punishment Army was created for the sole purpose of suppressing witches and maintaining the usurper's rule. While it was true that the source of all this was to perpetuate humanity, the planner was not a church at all, but a witch. ”

Farina had a look of disbelief, if the other party was not the famous Anova, the idol in her heart, she would definitely refute it loudly.

Joe took a deep breath, "Can you ...... Can you tell us more about it?"

"Well, let me satisfy your curiosity, mortal. Zoe raised the corners of her mouth.

......

When the other man stopped speaking, Falina felt a tingling pain in her fingers—at some point, she had clenched her fists, and blood oozed from her broken fingers again.

She finally understood why the characters in the historical biography appeared so really in front of her. The Edict in front of him was not the Commander of the Inquisition, but an ancient witch who had been going on from more than four hundred years ago.

In normal times, she would have shouted blasphemy, and at the same time drew her sword to fight to the death, even if she could not win, she could not let the evil people manipulate Yingjie's corpse.

But now, she felt all the strength in her body running through her fingers.

It's ridiculous.

This is ridiculous!

According to the other party, it was the witch herself who created all this. The devil's minions, the embodiment of evil, the joke, they are the true fearless heroes who sacrifice everything for humanity! The Starfall Queen's willingness to sacrifice alone has surpassed the vast majority of people in the world...... Is there anything more ironic than that? The goal of one's pride in one's heart is set by the witch whom he is hostile, the transformation ritual he longs for is only a shell for the witch to use, and even the reason why the world has become the way it is is inseparable from the witch.

Quickly refute her, saying that these are all fake, fabricated!

Although a voice cried out in her heart, Falina opened her mouth but could not say a word.

Because there are so many details that can correspond.

For example, the rumors of the mysterious disappearance of the divine punishment samurai.

For example, a female corpse that looks like it has been drained by something.

For example, the sprawling monasteries of the Old Holy City.

For example, those who look like witches......

If the lie were to be so tightly coherent, it would have to be lurking in the Church for at least a few decades and be able to reach the core secrets of the Privy Council. At present, I am afraid that only the successive popes can meet these conditions.

Moreover, there is a decisive evidence in addition to this, and that is "power".

Since the ultimate purpose of the Divine Punishment Samurai is to fight the devil, there is no doubt that the stronger the better. There is no doubt that intelligent beings with divine consciousness will always be much more powerful than beasts without divine sense, as evidenced by the ease with which two people can easily conquer the castle of Dagong Island, which is guarded by divine punishment warriors. If witches and divine bodies are so compatible, why should the Church exterminate them instead of using them? Even if the wild witches are so evil, the Pure One should always be suitable.

But the truth is that Hermes has never seen a witch of divine punishment.

She had already reached a conclusion in her head.

The Pure can be controlled with the Divine Stone.

But the Church has no means to restrain a witch who is the equivalent of a transcendent.

Therefore, no matter how strong the latter is, it will not be considered.

If the crown in the Holy City was truly dedicated to humanity, she believed that there were many believers who were willing to die, and it would not be surprising that there were several witches among them.

From the outset, however, Al-Quds cut off this possibility.

Saving the world is not as important as they advertise.

...... Just like the other party laughed, she thought weakly that the Divine Punishment Samurai was not a trump card against the devil, but a tool to suppress witches, nothing more.

Joe was apparently aware of this contradiction as well, and he cautiously asked, "How many people like you are there in Neverwinter?"

"Hundreds," Zoe shrugged, "with the shells you contributed." When you meet someone you are familiar with, don't make a fuss. ”

Falina vaguely guessed the reason for Joe's question.

If one or two "sacrificed" divine punishment warriors can still be impersonated by witches, hundreds are absolutely impossible.

The fact that the other party can answer so calmly is in itself a corroboration.

Not even the last shred of luck remained.

Farina felt something in her heart drift away from her.

She longed for the feeling of being needed.

The church originally carried light and hope, and as a member of the church, she naturally shouldered these things - behind her were the four kingdoms and all mankind, but now, they were being peeled away little by little, like mottled and weathered walls. And behind the wall...... Nothing, like nothingness in a dream.

She had to ...... Do something.

"Church...... The church can change this outcome...... Get everything back on track......" Falina said with difficulty.

"What?" Zoe looked at her.

"The Witch Punishment Project...... Only the church can provide for you, like me—" she took a deep breath, "I'm willing to take the lead in transformation. ”

"Oh?" Zoe smiled a playful smile, "even if it's unconscious?"

"Farina!" said Joe.

"If that helps humanity—"

In this way, there will be light behind her again, and she will still be needed-

"Interesting, mortal," but Zoe ruthlessly shattered her illusions, "but the plan to punish witches has long since been scrapped. ”

"Why?"

"Because it's useless. "Based on the situation four hundred years ago, it may have had a good fighting power, but today's devil is no match that can be defeated by the witch by divine punishment alone, so we all fell to the mortal king of Grey Keep, it's as simple as that." ”

"......" Falina opened her mouth, but all she could do was hiss.

"No matter how weak the ability of a living witch is, as long as she finds the right direction, her effect is far greater than that of magical blood and a shell - although it was discovered by His Majesty Roland, we are also very good at learning, and now it has basically become the consensus of everyone. Zoe stood up and walked towards the door, "That is, even if you are willing to turn into a shell, no witch will give her blood, because it is not worth it." ”

She stopped as she crossed the threshold and smiled back.

"I'll put it bluntly, the emergence of the church was a mistake from the beginning. ”

In an instant, Farina heard a crisp crumbling sound.

— from her heart.
