Chapter 250: Shaman
"At the ...... of departure Before we do that, let's ...... Let's go to the tavern for a drink...... Have a drink. Unlike the sallow faces of the other congregants, Matthew's cheeks were red all the time, and he was slurring when he spoke.
Well, that's what he looked like when he wasn't drinking.
The gray-robed disciple Gaunt was taken aback, and quickly shook his head: "Dear Priest Matthew, I think we should rush to the Phantom Star as soon as possible, and complete the task of Lord Bishop first, and then drink to celebrate!" ”
The hierarchy of the Holy See is very strict, from the lowest to the highest, the faithful, the clergy, the priest, the presiding priest and the bishop.
Gaunt is still the lowest cultist, and like the others, they are always dedicated to the god of the Arcane, and Gaunt himself is one of the most prominent among the cultists.
Matthew was a high-ranking priest among the priests, and although Matthew liked to drink, he was already a high-ranking priest, mastered the Five Rings Technique, and was the object of Gaunt's admiration. Although, Gaunt hates Matthew for being drunk at all times.
In fact, not only Gaunt, many people don't like Matthew's appearance, but there is no way, this guy is indeed talented in the study of mechanical methods, and it didn't take long after he was promoted from a disciple to a priest that he reached the strength of the five-ring mechanical method, and directly jumped to a senior priest.
"Look, there's the Walkton Tavern over there, and their red mill wine is very good, why don't I take you to try it?" When it comes to wine, Matthew's voice is no longer knotted and becomes unusually fluent.
Doctrine City is huge, all parts of this Holy See planet, except for the Black Sea, are almost all cities, there is no desolate area on this planet, and the concept of faith to survive spread by the Holy See has caused the population of Doctrine City to be the largest of the six evils.
If you don't count, of course, the countless spirits, ghosts, and ghosts of the dark swamp.
The Holy See has only one faith in this doctrinal city, and that is the veneration of the god of truth, which is the source of the great power of the Holy See and the vital force on which all the people survive and defend themselves against foreign invasions.
At this time, the direction of the Holy See Ship Harbor could be seen in the distance, and several fleets slowly took off and headed in the direction of the Phantom Star. It was the Holy See fleet that Bishop Bray had ordered to be sent to clear the remnants of the Fort of Alfalfa, after all, there were still some ghost ships stationed around the Fort of Alfalfa.
The power of these ghost ships is not a great threat to the Hanging Fortress that can destroy the Lord of the Ghost Fortress, but it is an opportunity for Doctrine City to show favor to the owner of the Hanging Fortress.
Gaunt waved his hand, "Priest Matthew, let's not delay. You see, the fleet has already taken off, and our work would do well in sync. ”
Matthew also saw this scene and couldn't help sighing: "Uh, good...... Well, work first. ”
There were people coming and going on the street, and after the two of them made a decision, they immediately walked to the nearby ship port
As a member of the Holy See, he is the most respected person among the people of the entire City of Doctrine, especially the priest Matthew in a black robe. Everyone who saw Matthew and Gaunt nodded their heads, and the woman retreated from the side of the street, waiting until the two of them passed by before resuming her path.
This is the proudest thing to do after joining the Holy See and becoming a Catholic, and it is also the honor of the whole family. Matthew and Gaunt just smiled and didn't respond one by one, and they didn't have the patience to do so.
The priests and the faithful are a little better, if they meet the members of the priest's faction, they don't even have a smile on their faces when they meet the common people. Except for the presiding priest and the bishop, they were cold to everyone.
The priest is the heart of the Holy See, and even the clergy cannot be compared.
The distance from the dock to the Holy See ship harbor was the closest, so Matthew and Gaunt decided to take the waterway through. After coming to the dock, I suddenly saw a large number of people gathered around, talking about something, one by one, full of interest, it was obvious that something inside had attracted their attention.
Gaunt was a young man, and when he saw this scene, he naturally wanted to squeeze in and see the excitement.
Matthew, still thinking about the success of the matter, came back to drink and celebrate, urging, "No...... Nothing to look at, called...... Call a ship...... Boat, we ...... Go to the ship's ...... right now Ship port. ”
"Wow!"
At this moment, the group of onlookers exclaimed at the same time, and they all took a few steps back, full of praise and discussion.
Matthew also stopped, and Gaunt quickly took the opportunity to squeeze in.
A bearded, unkempt man was squatting on the ground writing something, holding a wooden pen in his hand, no refill at all, but writing on the ground was unusually clear.
At this moment, on the other side of the scumbag, a thin snake covered in patterns is crawling on the ground, and the flower snake spits out a scarlet tongue, which seems to be highly poisonous.
Underneath this flower snake is a sinuous phantom pattern, as if the pattern he drew just now has come to life, and the flower snake has become real, leaving only a hollow snake on the ground.
Another pattern drawn by the scumbag at this moment is a scorpion, about the size of a man's foot, and after his last stroke, the scorpion immediately becomes three-dimensional, and then the tail moves, and the whole crawls up and begins to crawl forward.
"Wow! This guy is amazing! ”
Immediately the crowd erupted in exclamations again, and this time the onlookers were clearly even more surprised.
Matthew didn't see this scene, but Gaunt saw it clearly after squeezing into the crowd, he looked suspicious, turned his head to look at Priest Matthew, wanted to speak but was afraid that Matthew wouldn't hear clearly, and then turned back again.
At this time, the bearded scumbag spoke: "Everyone, not only the Holy See has divine power, but I also have it. Each of us has faith, but it doesn't have to be the same, and my faith can make me, a believer, also have divine power, which the Holy See can't do. Have any of you ever seen an ordinary person who believed in the god of the true mystery and been given divine powers by the true god? ”
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers showed thoughtful looks.
A middle-aged man said: "We can't survive without believing in God." ”
The scumbag man stretched out his two hands, grabbed the flower snake and the poisonous scorpion respectively, stood up and said, "Who said that?" You see, I'm not alive and well, and I have the power to resurrect life. ”
Others seem to be moved, because the facts are in front of them.
"And what are your beliefs?" Gaunt, who was standing in the crowd, suddenly asked, his voice was not loud, and he deliberately did not let the bearded scumbag distinguish his specific location.
"My faith is it!"
The bearded scumbag stomped his right foot lightly on the ground, and at his feet, an illusory beast shadow pattern appeared, but it quickly disappeared.
"Totem!" This scene made Gaunt's eyes shrink suddenly.
Hu scumbag said: "Believing in it can allow you to obtain the divine power you dream of, not only the Holy See benefits, but you are just contributors who don't know anything!" ”
"You're a shaman!"
Gaunt's voice rose sharply, and he stepped out, his gray robe trembling, and the mechanical energy drummed in his body.
After seeing Gaunt's robe, all the onlookers suddenly woke up.
"This guy is a heretic!" The middle-aged man who had just spoken pointed at the bearded scumbag and said in horror.
Everyone was terrified and retreated, leaving a bigger field for Gaunt and the scumbag.
The scumbag originally blended into the people this time, and carefully carried out a seduction sermon as a wandering painter, but he was disrupted by the appearance of Gaunt, which made him angry.
With another pause at his feet, the beast shadow totem appeared again, and the flower snake and poisonous scorpion in his hand were thrown out, and under the urging of the totem energy, they instantly turned into a huge flower python and a two-meter-long scorpion, and the stinger on the scorpion's tail emitted a dazzling cold light.
The two xenos, under the control of the bearded scumbag, pounced on Gaunt.
Although Gaunt is only a cultist, he belongs to the category of outstanding strength, he is not afraid of the terrifying shaman, the mechanical energy is filled from the body, an iron ball is thrown on the head of the flower python, the iron ball instantly opens, like a flower, a reverse package, the entire head of the python is clamped.
A spell came out of Gaunt's mouth, and a powerful restraining force rolled out, and with a bang, the python's head burst entirely.
At this time, the huge poisonous scorpion was approaching rapidly, and Gaunt was afraid that this guy's venom would hurt the other people who did not have time to retreat, so he did not retreat, and at the same time as the tail of the giant scorpion stabbed his face, he grabbed the slippery black tail, and the tip of the thorn was less than five centimeters from his forehead.
Gaunt's body trembled, clutching his tail tightly, the blood veins in his body were stimulated at this moment, the skin on his body instantly turned red, and the phantom of a big ape appeared on Gaunt's head, which increased the power in his hand several times, and the scorpion tail that was pinched in his palm began to tremble, dented inward, the shell was broken, and the venom was squeezed out alive, and then white gravy.
The giant scorpion kept struggling, but was firmly grasped by Gaunt, who had stimulated his blood.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he didn't expect that a small disciple would be so powerful, at least reaching the strength of the Second Ring Weapon Method.
The scumbag man grabbed at the Gaunt Void with both hands, and the power of the totem was stimulated, bang, bang...... Several black crows with red eyes flew out, whipping up an evil wind that swept many people into the river who had not had time to escape.
The strength of these crows is much stronger, one by one they are pecking at Gaunt's eyes, and their wings are full of spikes, Gaunt's giant ape bloodline is only blocked twice before it is broken, and his eyes are about to be pecked blind.
A strong mechanical energy suddenly rolled in, like an invisible iron cable, binding these crows together in an instant, snapping and popping...... Five rings could be seen flashing above the invisible binding energy at the same time, and then all the black crows were crushed into minced meat and fell.
"Five-ring weapon method! High Clergy? The bearded scumbag's face changed, and his eyes stared straight behind Gaunt.
Behind Gaunt, a slightly smaller priest in a black robe with a slightly flushed face stepped forward.
