Chapter 46: The Sacrifice of the God of War
"What do you say? How dare anyone preach openly in the city of Idoras without my permission? This, this is simply audacity, that is, contempt, contempt of imperial power, contempt of me, Grema? The prestige of the Clever Speaker! ”
The obscene-looking first minister of the Luo Han Kingdom, Lord Qiaoyan, was furious, and the guards who reported the situation to him knelt on the ground in fear. And the beautiful blond man stood in front of him, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't say a word.
"Go, go and mobilize the guards for me, and arrest that, that damned, daring, uninformed what, what god of war disciple for me, I'm going to burn him at the stake in the square, and burn this cult/cult liar alive~~~!"
"Great, sir, then, that's not necessary, Lord Grema......" said the guard who was in charge of reporting the matter to Grima, kneeling on the ground.
"You, how dare you disobey my orders? Are you already living impatiently? Qiao Yan took a deep breath, and anger surged in his chest.
A companion is like a tiger, a companion is like a tyrannosaurus, he may lose his head at any time, and he has already followed Grima? The guard who had been by Qiao Yan's side for a while hurriedly explained: "No, it's not like that, Lord Grema, I mean, that guy is the man who calls himself a disciple of the God of War, and he is now on the stake ......"
"What's going on? Could it be that that guy's tricks were exposed and burned at the stake by those fools? Hmph, although the abuse of lynching is also a felony, but this time, I, Lord Grema, will pretend that I didn't see it...... "After hearing this, Grema?" Master Qiaoyan's mood suddenly brightened, this is the fate of those who do not honor me, otherwise, with their own permission and protection, what untouchable people would dare to kill these missionaries casually, and even use such cruel lynching.
Realizing that his meaning had been misunderstood by Lord Qiaoyan again, the guard suddenly became even more frightened, but in the end he still did not dare to hide the true situation from this moody, ruthless, greedy and vicious adult, after all, the development of the situation there was no longer beyond his control.
"Great, my lord, that guy who calls himself a disciple of the God of War, although he is now being burned at the stake, he, he looks like he has nothing to do, no, not only that, he is also using that magical white flame to heal the wounds and diseases of the poor and the soldiers, any injury and illness can be cured, and now, a thousand people have openly joined his 'Temple of the God of War', and there must be many more who want to join...... Mistress Grima, he, he can perform so many miracles, he wouldn't, he really is a messenger sent by the god of war, right? ”
When the guard said these words, the face of the guard, not to mention the treacherous words, changed again and again, and finally turned even whiter, the light in his eyes flashed, obviously thinking about a lot of things, even the blonde man on the side clenched his fists, and the murderous aura in his eyes flashed.
"Let's go, take me to see it...... Look at this so-called God of War Messenger. "By this time, Grima? Qiao Yan already knew that this time it was not the God of Wealth and charlatans in the past. Eighty percent is a wizard with real means, and the real purpose of his appearance here is not clear, at this juncture, he does not dare to treat it imprudently, if something goes wrong at this time, not to mention others, even the white-robed wizard Saruman, will also skin him alive and give it to the orcs as rations.
Beware of heavy things Grima? After Qiao Yan followed the guards and left, only the blonde man was left in the empty hall, but a voice appeared in the hall out of thin air: "Boss, that kid doesn't seem to be at ease, what should we do?" Do you want to teach him a lesson, or simply ...... once and for all"..., "......"
The blonde man didn't answer the mysterious voice, but kept his head down and pondered something, and after a moment of silence, the voice spoke again: "But, chief, no wonder you are hesitant now, that fellow, indeed everywhere is strange, he performs the so-called ' The scene of the miracle', I have also seen it myself, the white flame is definitely a power that belongs to some kind of divine attribute, but the strange thing is that looking at the size of that guy, as well as his action habits, it should belong to the space gamer on the force side, but he can actually use the healing skills of a high-level priest, could it be that he is a legendary hidden profession - 'Holy Boxer'? Or is he actually an 'artifact' that has mastered some kind of divine attribute, and the white flame is the power of the artifact? All in all, I still think it's better to arrest him and torture him. If we don't get it, we can still get an artifact, and it doesn't have to be ......."
This mysterious voice was obviously a radical militant who belonged to the group, but the blonde man, as the leader of the team, was obviously thinking about things far more complicated than him......
In the illusionary space, there are many healing abilities, countless, some of which are relatively high, can heal any injury, and can even bring the dead back to life, of course, there are also low-level healing techniques that are only effective for skin injuries. However, whether it is the divine spell of the priest class or the elixir of the martial arts medicine class, there is a limit to the magic power or cost in healing others.
Potions and elixirs require materials to be refined, and materials need survival points to exchange, the magic power of the magician profession itself is not easy to recover, all props or potions that can speed up the recovery of magic power are sought-after goods in the space trading market, and props like the "Fountain of Life" that can recover a large amount of magic power in an instant can be sold at sky-high prices in the space market.
So at this stage, almost any space player of the healing profession can do what Rilin is doing now, but no one is willing to "waste" precious energy or resources on a large number of useless civilians, healing a thousand civilians, and not healing a king is not as good as healing a king. But why did he do it?
"Healing...... Did he want to heal King Hiyudon of the curse? Right! It must be so, if he can heal Hiyuton and get him back to normal, then let alone Grima? In a clever way, even we who are attached to him will be wiped out by the angry leader of the plot forces, and this is the real purpose of that guy, he knows that we are now controlling the king, and it is impossible for him to get close to Immorton, so he takes a curvilinear approach to expand his influence by treating civilians, and when the ministers of those kingdoms propose that he treat the 'seriously ill' king, even Grima? Qiao Yan didn't have a suitable reason to stop him, and at that time, he could use the plot power to kill all the people who stood in front of him, including us......"
Hearing the leader's speculation, the mysterious voice also trembled, and immediately said angrily: "Then what are we waiting for?" I'm going to get a few people and kill him first!" ”
"No, wait a minute...... the blonde man seemed to suddenly think of something, frowned slightly, and continued: "If this is really his plan, then there are still two problems, first, he is not Gandalf who has been promoted to a white-robed wizard, a lonely space player, how can he independently deal with a big battlefield plane boss-level plot boss like Saruman?" Get rid of the soul curse that he personally applied with all his might? Is it that he is arrogant to the point of stupidity? Or is there another basis? Besides, he could do it as a holy priest or a sorcerer, and there was no need to use the sensitive identity of a 'religious preacher', so he was really not afraid of us and the forces of Grima against him? This person, what's going on in his head? ”…,
"Why do you want to do so much!" The mysterious voice said impatiently: "The head is like this, always look ahead and backward when doing things, in my opinion, as long as you kill that guy, it's a hundred, no matter what conspiracies he has, it's all useless, isn't there a saying that says, in the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are hymen that can be broken with a stab, and there is no need to worry about it at all." ”
“…… Perhaps, you're right......" The blonde man gasped and said, "So be it, Tuxingsun, you call the oil bones, and the Brown and Merlin masters, and find an opportunity tonight, go and kill that person, no, if possible, it's better to capture ...... alive"
"No problem, sir, by the way, what about His Royal Highness Prince Xiyud? It's been two days since he fell into our hands, but no matter how we torture and investigate, we still don't know what secrets that guy is hiding in him, and it's useless anyway, it's very troublesome to be locked up in my 'dungeon', so let's just slaughter him and take it to Grima and hand over the task." ”
“…… No, there is no time limit for that task, we can hand it in whenever we want, anyway, he falls into our hands, there is no trick at all, the initiative is in our hands, we can do whatever we want, there is no need to rush for a while, one more chip, and then there will be one more layer of variables and one more layer of grasp. ”
The blond man's eyes flickered, but he said in an unusually low voice, "Maybe...... Maybe when the time comes, I'm afraid we will need to rely on him to save our lives. ”
The town center square is located halfway up the mountain of Edoras City, and it is also the flattest place in this mountain city, and at this moment, a large pile of firewood fuel is piled up in the center of the square, and the raging fire that rises after ignition is more than ten meters high, and in the center of the flame, a tall and burly "giant" stands in the center of the flame, his hands are stretched out, like a cross, his eyes look up to the sky, the flames are raging on him, but the giant is completely unresponsive, safe and sound......
Around this "Fire King Kong", hundreds of civilians and soldiers in dirty clothes and poor faces knelt on the ground, folded their hands on their chests, and prayed with a sincere face. And they looked at the giant in the fire as if they were looking at a god in heaven......
The self-proclaimed "God of War Kratos" servant, named Lilin, the "God of War" High Priest, as soon as he came to this city of Idoras, began to repeatedly show "miracles", this is by no means the previous religious liars exercised tricks, in front of the great god of war sacrifice Lilin, countless wounded sick people regained their health, countless cowards whose courage was worn out by the cruel war, and became enthusiastic and the battle boiled. In this small but historic ancient city, these real "miracles" have already spread to every corner of the small city, and the great "God of War Sacrifice" Lilin is a messenger of a true god who is not afraid of flames and can protect all beings.
When the energy of the flames flowed through his body, making up for the previous loss, Lilin opened his slightly closed eyes and looked at the crowd of beings kneeling in front of him...... The more troubled the times, the more sweet hotbeds of religion are born, and these people who have knelt in front of themselves, although their beliefs have only begun for a short time, whether it is "quality" or "quantity", they are extremely high, although they are not as high as living in the "capital on the other side?" The full-time believers in the "Pure Land of Bliss" have also made Lilin very satisfied, just standing here, he can feel the majesty and vastness, and the mysterious and profound power of faith is rushing towards him, integrating into the "kingdom" in his heart.
Although the accumulation of the power of faith seems to be of little use to the current Lilin except for making the texture of the "Holy Fire" purer and more powerful, his intuition tells Lilin that the more this kind of thing accumulates, the better it will be for him, and it will definitely be of great use in the future.
Coupled with the increase in the power of faith, it can bring Lilin the wonderful pleasure of ascending to the fairyland, which has gradually made him addicted and can't stop. Therefore, the current Lilin has begun to be happy with this "religious expansion" thing that he has been putting down for a long time.
Of course, gimmicks such as "the messenger of Kratos, the god of war" and "the high priest of the temple of the god of war" are all casually uttered by Lilin, but in the chaotic times of constant war and killing, there is indeed no god who can cover it more than the "God of War" and attract believers.
Although Lilin has been "not the leader of the sect for many years", after all, he has been engaged in this business before, even if it is done casually, it makes sense to think about it deeply.
