Chapter 462, The Result of the Choice
Looking at the knights who were ready to go, Xiao Yan began to make new calculations. He thought about whether his god stick behavior should go deeper into the play, so as to earn more benefits for himself.
Some of the benefits are money, or power, and some are freedom. Freedom without the supervision of those people in the Holy See, freedom In this way, Xiao Yan can secretly continue to improve his mage ring number and improve his strength, instead of being like a mouse hiding in the corner, he never dares to let himself progress quickly.
For now, upgrading is Xiao Yan's biggest goal on this shijie, and it is also the most important task. Only by constantly improving his mage ring number can he have a chance to get out of little Fryman's body and return to his own body before this shijie is reset.
Because of this, he had to find a way to make the people of the Holy See disappear around him, at least to leave him with enough time.
The easiest way to achieve this goal is to be pious. At the very least, he should appear to be more religious, so that those in the Holy See will no longer doubt him. At least less blatant suspicion, so that he can be more relaxed.
It's just that the magic stick play is too deep into the play, so it's not easy to get out of it. The people of the Holy See would not let him go, the secular nobility would not tolerate him, and even his own subjects would be suspicious of a pious lord rather than a competent lord.
There must be a delicate balance between them, rather than focusing on one direction or the other.
When he thought of this, Xiao Yan had already walked in front of those knights with Konstantin, and Xiao Yan, who had already made up his mind in his heart, saluted Konstantin slightly. Say, "Please allow me to walk back." My godfather. The Lord asked me to walk and needed me to experience suffering, not to use my current status to enjoy everything. ”
Konstantin was shocked and moved, and said to Xiao Yan Huang Li: "My noble child, your devotion to the Lord far exceeds mine. The ascetics who walk with thorns on their backs are not as devotion to the Lord as you are. Yes, you can walk on this path. I will also walk with you. It's a pity that I can only walk side by side with you on this Zuihou mountain road. Either way, though. I'm bound to be proud of you. My child, the Lord looks at you and me, Amen. ”
Behind him, the clergy, dressed in gray clerical robes, chanted: "Amen! ”
This neat and utterly powerful celebration made the entire hillside seem to tremble slightly at the same time, the sun shines through the sky, and everything around it becomes sparkling.
Walking on such a mountain path is like walking in a crystal palace, and every step makes people feel like walking in the sky.
Xiao Yan walked alone at the front of the group, Konstantin was slightly behind him, and Nialore was a little behind. About 20 yards away after the three of them. Two full clergy regiments of priests also marched on foot. As for the knights in full uniform, they surrounded the monks. Whether they want it or not, it must be.
The whole team, under the leadership of Xiao Yan, moved forward calmly and reverently, just like the believers who were about to hold the whole flag ceremony.
Soon, beads of sweat had begun to appear on Xiao Yan's forehead, and the scepter and crown in his hand felt like they had become very heavy. But he didn't let go, but insisted on moving forward. Unlike the way he had come to this ruin, this time it looked like his health was even worse. But even so, he never stopped.
Konstantin looked at Xiao Yan's back, and there was an indescribable luster in his eyes. His hands began to glow, as if he wanted to provide some support to Xiao Yan. However, this action was quickly sensed by Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan, who was holding the crown and scepter in both hands, smiled slightly and whispered, "Don't worry about me, the Lord let me walk, and I will have to bear all the hardships." Without these hardships, how can we appreciate the mercy and greatness of the Lord? ”
Konstantin nodded slightly, the light in his hand quickly disappeared, and he said to Xiao Yan: "The Lord once said that there are prophets, there are those who are hindered, there are those who are unconscious, and there are those who are deaf. Either way, there is no way to know the meaning of the Lord, only the one who walks, the silent, the suffering, is the one who looks at the Lord. ”
After a pause, Konstantin only drew a cross on his chest this time and did not continue. However, Nilaile behind him looked a little excited, and he had a completely different perception of Xiao Yan's performance.
It was ten o'clock in the evening when we returned to the fork in the road outside Tosto.
With no time to rest along the way, it was a terrible thing to walk to Tosto after dozens of miles of mountain roads. For a boy like Little Fleman, such a long walk is even more so, at least the current Xiao Yan is completely exhausted, and it can even be said that he has overdrawn his physical strength.
There he was snorting and panting loudly, his thin body trembling slightly in the night wind, as if he would be blown down by the mountain wind in the next second.
Looking at Xiao Yan's pale face, Konstantin saluted slightly and asked, "My child, are you ready to rest?" ”
"No, I have more important things to do."
Although Xiao Yan's body was exhausted, his mind was extremely clear. To be precise, his will level was far higher than that of his current body, so the exhaustion of his body did not make Xiao Yan feel sleepy. He needs to continue to show his piety, and at the same time find a way to get the Constantine godfather back to the church hill as soon as possible.
Although such a godfather had taken good care of Xiao Yan before this, for the sake of his own mage level promotion, it was better to let such a strong man get as far away from him as possible. What's more, although it is not so easy to live there in Kirkhill, it is much more comfortable than fighting life and death outside. Xiao Yan believed that if he stayed on the church mountain, even if he left this trial, Konstantin might still live.
"Haode, how can you help?"
"Give me a pen, give me some leather to be able to write on, and I want to get the contents of those pieces of metal down as soon as possible. The voice of the Lord should be more clearly and unambiguously present on this shijie, rather than as it is now. ”
"As you wish, my child, we will provide these writing instruments soon. I just don't know, where do you need to write these words? Where do I live? Or is it the location of the Knights of Punishment? ”
"I'll go to the tavern to write this, and it's my people's tavern."
Konstantin was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Nilaire, and asked, "Where are those dwarves now?" ”
Nealaire's expression suddenly became extremely rich, and after a while, he whispered, "They are being imprisoned by the Knights of Punishment, and it sounds like those knights need some better and sharper weapons." ”
Xiao Yan smiled slightly, shook his head and sighed, "When we do that righteous thing, there are always people who do that contrary to justice. When we follow the will of the Lord, there are always people who turn a deaf ear. How can there be such a big difference between the same servants of the Lord? ”
Konstantin's face also became very ugly, even if little Fleman was not a master walking on the ground, those dwarves had killed a large number of orcs in the first place. This merit alone is enough for the Holy See to award rewards to dwarves. And those punishment knights obviously wanted to deliberately punish those dwarves as a way to show their authority.
However, there is only one authority on this shijie, and that is the Lord. The majesty that is not recognized by the Lord will die in an instant. Whether it's a secular emperor or a daring knight.
"It disturbs me very much to let your subjects suffer."
Konstantin whispered, then turned his head to look at the strong knight standing on the other side, and asked, "Yanni, who is responsible for this?" ”
Yanni, holding her heavy shield, was silent for a moment and replied, "Those who make mistakes, all those who make mistakes should be held accountable for this matter. The Knights of Punishment will not shield these people, even if I make mistakes. ”
Konstantin nodded slightly, and said, "Haode, I will go to the tavern with little Lord Fryman, and I hope that those mistakes will be corrected when we arrive at the tavern." ”
Yanni saluted slightly, turned on his horse, and quickly rushed towards the camp where the Punishment Knight was stationed outside the town. Behind him, a dozen knights followed, the hooves of horses flying like horses, making the space of the night seem a little fragmented. Both the knights and the war horses didn't seem to care about the darkness around them, and after a distance from Xiao Yan, the bodies of these knights began to slowly float with milky white light. These rays of light are like turbulent drops of water, fading away in the dark forest.
Xiao Yan smiled and asked, "I don't know if that tavern is still there now." ”
"That tavern kid, even if it's not there, it's going to be there."
Konstantin replied. In his unequivocal voice, another group of knights rolled over their horses and roared away.
"We'll keep going."
Xiao Yan suddenly said: "I not only have to walk back to Tosto, but also to my territory. I just don't know if my territory will still be my territory at that time. Are my subjects still my subjects? ”
"If you need it, my child, if you need it, there is a squadron of Punishment Knights in Munich, and you can move at any time. It is only necessary to report to the Archbishop of Munich afterwards, this is the temporary authority given to me by the Pope, and I transfer this authority to you, and when you need it, to make a request to that order, to tell them the goal, and let them do everything well. ”
Xiao Yan smiled slightly, saluted to Konstantin and said, "Thank you for taking care of me, my godfather, but I will not use the Knights of Naga. The Lord has given me new life, and I will not run away from it again. (To be continued......)
