The Lord of Slaughter has always been unpopular among gods and beings. At the time of the Lord of Killing, the Prince of Lies, the Dark Sun who held the priesthood of killing and intrigue, instructed his priests to devote themselves to spreading strife and murder, as a means of forcing fear and faith in Ciric. They support tyrannical and power-grabbing rulers, and they don't miss any chance to conspire.

Such crazy behavior made the evil gods see him as a rival for the favor of the dark world, and the good gods did not hate him for ssowing strife and murder everywhere like a-stirring stick. However, this dislike and hostility is still within the normal scope of clerical competition.

As the newly-born Lord of Killing, Aelita is above good and evil with an absolutely neutral attitude, and treats believers on both sides of good and evil equally, on the surface, she is not as chaotic and crazy as Ciric, but in fact, she meddles in the affairs of both the good and evil realms, which has attracted great attention and hostility from the gods of good.

After Io's revision of the rules of the world that the gods had to rely on faith, believers became more and more important to the gods. In this world of killing and strife, the concept of killing to stop killing passed down by Aelita has undoubtedly theoretically solved the moral dilemma of good people participating in killing, and the belief in the concepts of "killing to stop killing", "carrying sins" and "killing one person to save ten thousand people" is enough to make many good people devote themselves to killing with peace of mind. This undoubtedly diluted the influence of the good gods among mortals, making their graces such as "redemption" and "atonement" less attractive.

In fact, after the emergence of the doctrine of "killing to stop killing", "bearing sins" and "killing one person to save ten thousand people", it has won the popularity of a large number of adventurers.

It's just that both the previous Lord of Murder, Baal, and the previous Prince of Lies, Shirek, both of the masters of slaughter tried their best to emphasize the horror of killing, intimidating and threatening mortals with evil and terrifying means, and even Shirek's insane shareholders of their own believers infighting, Shirek's followers spent most of their time calculating with each other, and each of them tried to build up their personal power in the endless infighting between the various parties, so that the number of infighting between the temples was not less than the number of external attacks.

This kind of gathering of faith, like the furious gods, relying on the terror of intimidation and threats will naturally not be welcomed by mortals. After all, most mortals are just normal people, and believing out of fear is far less normal than believing out of love. Therefore, in the past, unless it was an assassin, a thief, a conspirator and other dark professionals walking in the shadows, and some special people who were obsessed with killing, although normal adventurers lived a life of licking blood with knives, they were always insensitive to the belief in the Lord of Killing.

However, the teachings of the new birth of this Lord of Killing, Aelita, changed everyone's impression of the bloody horror of killing. Killing has nothing to do with good and evil, nothing to do with chaos and order, nothing to do with sin and good deeds, it is just a manifestation of contradictions to the most intense level, it is the incompatibility of the east wind over the west wind, the violent revolution of one class overthrowing another class, the violent deletion that has to be carried out after taking up too many resources and affecting the operation of the world, and it is a necessary movement that runs through the beginning and end of the universe, and the whole process of the world becoming and dwelling, being bad and empty.

Killing is a natural human right, and everyone has the right to kill, regardless of good or evil, or disorder. But holding the sword will have the consciousness of dying under the sword, and the killer will also have the consciousness of being killed.

This statement is not only refreshing, but even elevates the killing to the height of philosophy. From an absolutely neutral standpoint, the Lord of Slaughter has also begun to attract believers with ideas and ideals like normal gods, rather than relying on terror and intimidation to rally believers as the previous Lord of Slaughter did. This undoubtedly makes the killing priesthood more accessible to the people.

Therefore, more and more of the adventurers began to believe in the Lord of Killing, and some of the depraved paladins directly switched to the Church of the Lord of Killing, going further and further down the path of killing, which undoubtedly violated the faith and grace of other gods.

"I heard that the Church of the Lord of Slaughter is committed to imposing a new rule on adventurers and the underworld, is that correct?" The hooded woman asked in a low voice, this is the most concerned issue of the Church of the Gods and many forces on the continent, after the Church of the Lord of Killing completely mastered the Baldur's Gate, the adventurer circle and the underground world of this city gradually became alienated from the outside world, and even vaguely formed a world with unique rules.

"You mean this? The rule is simple, what is caused by killing, is solved by killing! Wild things, solved in the wilderness? The affairs of rivers and lakes are solved in rivers and lakes! ”

Bartender Oscar didn't care much and said, the so-called rivers and lakes are in trouble, the adventurer's matter, the adventurer solves! This rule is simple but effective, and it is very appealing to the adventurous person. Therefore, in this city, the Church of the Lord of Slaughter did not spend much effort to deeply implant this rule of completely separating the world of local civilians and adventurers into the hearts of adventurers and everyone in the dark world.

"Tell me more about the rules of the city!"

The hooded woman couldn't help but have a twinkle in her eyes, as if she was very interested in the topic.

"The rules of this city are not complicated, it's just that the kingdom and the church forcibly divide the people of this city into a world of ordinary civilians and adventurers!"

The bartender Oscar glanced at the hooded woman strangely, although he didn't understand why the other party was interested in this, but he still explained in detail: "Nobles, lords, officials, scholars, merchants, commoners, workers, etc., all the legal residents of this city, as long as they do not participate in the business of the dark world and the world of adventurers, are regarded as ordinary commoners, subject to the laws of the kingdom and protected, and any battle between the dark world and adventurers cannot involve them, Those who offend will be punished and even hunted down by both the Kingdom and the Church! Adventurers from outside, as well as members of the city's dark world, are not protected by the city's laws, and they need to follow a few simple rules when fighting each other, and they will not be prosecuted by the law......"

"The first rule of this rule is to kill, kill, wilderness, wilderness, rivers and lakes, rivers and lakes! It must not be implicated and expanded to the world of ordinary people! ”

"The second rule: knives take precedence over fists, fists over tongues!"

“……”

The bartender Oscar said one by one, and the hooded woman also remembered one by one. It's just that in fact, she doesn't understand that the meaning of the existence of these rules is actually to establish another set of systematic order rules under the normal mainstream order rules of society! That is, the so-called "rules of the rivers and lakes" in some martial arts worlds.

Social order is also a kind of law, and as a deity, it is the embodiment of the deity as a collection of laws that spreads his will and influence to all aspects of society!

The existence of each deity will greatly change the world and dominate the order of this world in one or her own way! So it is with the good gods, and so it is with the evil gods!

While the bartender Oscar and the hooded woman are exchanging information about the city, in the dark alleys of the city, in the vast network of the city's underground, the gangsters are fighting and killing for the sake of territory and profit! The dark heroes who belong to this city also took to the streets, countering violence with violence in the shadows, killing to stop killing, and fulfilling their own justice!

The believers of the Lord of Killing are certainly not monolithic, and there has never been a saying that killing believers does not kill believers. The Lord of Slaughter allows them to kill each other, as long as it is in accordance with the doctrine of killing!

So, in this city, an evil organization that worships killing as an art is holding a "battle royale" ceremony, trying to please the Lord of Killing through the art of killing. At the same time, an organization adhering to the principle of "killing is the crime of killing, killing is a necessary evil" also infiltrated the ritual, preparing to eradicate this evil organization by means of killing.

And further afield on the mainland, the cultists of killing, who uphold two different beliefs, have formed one monastery after another, spreading their ideas in the form of academies and sects, and practicing their understanding of killing in the struggle against each other!

"Assassin's Creed", "League of Assassins", "Sage in Black", "Torture Archetype", ...... One killing order after another has risen on the continent against such a background!

……

Harvest Month.

It was still dark outside, and the entire Dragonspear Castle had already begun to wake up from the silence, and by the time the first rays of sunlight of the morning hit the flagpole of the Dragonspear Castle, Shiki had already gotten up and started her day's work.

In the blink of an eye, more than sixty years have passed, and despite the favor of the gods, she still retains the beautiful appearance of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. But after so many stories, she has really matured, and she is no longer the little girl who was a little naïve and rebellious before.

Out of her admiration for her sister, she immediately believed in her sister as soon as she learned that her sister was a god. This is almost a matter of course for her, her sister has always been as great and perfect as a god in her mind, and now that her sister has become a god, she naturally wants to believe in her sister.

Although the Church of the Lord of Slaughter does not have a Pope to lead the entire Church, her status as the Son of God and the Chosen People, who has been specially given, gives her a transcendent status and identity in the Church.

However, although Shi Ji took over the position of Queen Hartland, she herself did not like to live in the luxurious royal palace that Grand Duke Anta Silver Shield had spent the rest of her life building, and she preferred to live in Dragon Spear Castle, because there were so many memories of her and her sister here.

As the king of such a large kingdom, Shi Ji naturally has countless affairs to deal with every day, and despite the kingdom's well-established institutions and the fact that she has learned to delegate some of her power to a group of trained and tested talents, the things that are sent to her are still endless.
