Chapter 780: Siege and Confession (100 Monthly Passes)
"According to the oracle, this place has been polluted by the power of heresy and must be 'purified!'"
In the center of the Order was an old man dressed in bishop's attire, with a pious and holy expression on his face, with a seriousness that had never been seen before.
"Your Excellency, this place is already surrounded!"
A knight with a face like a knife and an axe stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Very well! The Priesthood is ready to cooperate, and not a single heretic can escape!"
The bishop waved his hand, and behind him, a large number of young priests dressed in white sacrificial robes with the same resolute expressions on their faces followed the other knight squads in an orderly manner and began to move.
A deep crisis surrounded the town in an instant, but the residents of the town were unaware.
"Huh?!Transcendents rendered with the power of other rules......"
Although his own detection ability was greatly limited, when the other party completely surrounded the village, Lei Lin still discovered this, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything about it.
In his current state, even if he came out of the forest, he would have to mention the help of the Fa, let alone break through the siege himself.
"The gods are very strict about the monitoring of the world......
Relin was amazed, and as soon as he entered the village, he found the altar inside the village, and the power of rules emanating from it.
Of course, this kind of rule power is a little different from the existence of the outside world, and perhaps it should be called it - divine power!
Under the protection of the divine power, the entire village seems to form a realm-like existence, although the effect is very weak compared to the real realm. But it has the same characteristics.
"I'm an alien! The moment I step into the other party's realm, I will be discovered!"
Leylin sighed, "Unless you find a true gathering place for the unbelievers." Or avoid all the altars, temples, and the like, or else I will have nothing to hide from anywhere in my form...... Pity. It's simply impossible......"
In Berusheb's memory, almost all of the intelligent beings of the world of the gods believed in a god.
And here, the unbelievers are a very terrible thing, and even the pagans and even the devils are treated much better than the unbelievers.
It is rumored that none of the souls of the unbelievers would be crucified alive on the Wall of Wailing after their death!
"The belief in the gods, like so many nodes, is spread almost throughout the world of the gods. And the soul of every believer is branded with them!"
Fighting is certainly not forbidden here, but all research related to the soul is considered blasphemy against the gods, and if discovered, it will be burned at the stake.
Even, it's okay to kill the followers of the gods, but once the souls of the other party are moved, the gods will find out in an instant.
The anger of one's own cheese will bring down the wrath of the gods.
"The souls of priests, priests, devout believers, and holy warriors. There is absolutely no blasphemy, otherwise it will definitely attract the immortality of the other party's gods!"
This is the most profound lesson that Berutsebabu remembered for Leylin.
That is, in the world of the gods. The path of rapid recovery through mass slaughter and devouring souls simply won't work, otherwise I'll feel like I've had a tracker attached to myself. Wherever you go, the gods will find ...... Of course, the same is true of this otherworldly soul power...... I can't run away at all......"
After determining the situation. Instead, Leylin relaxed.
Anyway, at present, he is just a soul seed, and being destroyed has no effect on the main body. This is an opportunity to collect additional data.
"Come, Sacrificers of the Gods!"
A dark red glow flickered from the broken sword, with a bloodthirsty glow.
......
The neighing of horses, the high-pitched roars, and the shrill screams and deep cries.
Tifa rubbed his eyes with the back of his only relatively clean palm, and then opened his mouth wide.
When he was awakened by the sound, he saw a large amount of fire coming out of the window, and the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of slamming doors and shouting constantly lingered around his ears, like the murmur of a demon.
"What's going on, nightmares?" said Tifa's head was in a state of confusion, and he couldn't react a little.
"What are you doing here, hurry back!" When Tifa walked out of the room, he was immediately pushed back violently by his father.
Even, on his father's face, what Tifa saw was unprecedented solemnity and seriousness.
But before he could return to the house in obedience, a tall steed broke straight into his yard.
Above the horse is a knight in steel armor, which makes the mention of this opulence a bit staggering, and a pair of armor made of stainless steel is often the heirloom of those knights and even noble barons.
Even the nearest lord doesn't seem to have this level of goods at home.
Tifa's gaze was filled with fear and envy, and at the same time, he also saw a badge on the other party's armor - it was the emblem of the goddess of spring water!
"It's the Templar of the Goddess of Springs! what are they doing here?"
It must be said that in the past, these Templars were idols of Tifa, but now their actions have shattered Tifa's dreams.
"Honorable sir, may I ask ......?"
Tifa's father mustered up his courage and came to the knight, but before he could finish his sentence, he was thrown out and fell to the ground.
"I'll just say it once, all the inhabitants, gather at the altar at once!
The knight broke into Tifa's door, followed by the sound of rummaging through the cabinets, and Tifa's mother and several younger siblings were driven out.
In this way, Tifa followed his father and family out of the house and gathered towards the center of the village.
It was only now that Tifa was stunned to find that the other villagers had also been driven out of their homes, merging like many streams towards the center of the village.
"What the hell is this...... What's going on?" Tim still couldn't figure out what was going on, but he felt his mother grip his palm so hard that it hurt him a lot.
And in front, his father's face was also extremely gloomy, with a strong smell of unease.
Even when the famine had struck a few years earlier, when the town's tax collector had come in person, Tifa had never seen such an expression on his father's face.
The villagers gathered together like sheep being driven, while the other knights surrounded themselves with torches, illuminating the night brightly.
Around these knights, Tipha also saw a large number of priests.
The robes on their bodies were even more luxurious than the priest he had seen in the village before, and in short, they were all very remarkable people.
"Giggle...... ......"The solemn atmosphere, and the presence of these priests and knights, made Tifa start to be afraid, though he didn't know why.
"Lord Bishop, all the villagers are here, and this is the village chief!"
A knight with golden lines on his armor threw an old man who was shaking like chaff in front of the bishop.
"Your Excellency, we in Karn Village have always worshipped the goddess of springs, and we have never dared to take any offense!"
In Tifa's eyes, the village chief, who was usually very capable, was now crying bitterly in front of the old bishop like a baby.
"God has taught us to lovingly face each and every one of its believers!"
The old bishop very kindly lifted the village chief from the ground, and even bent his knees and patted the dirt on his body, which immediately made the other party even more grateful.
"The reason why I came here is because of God's will to cleanse heresy!"
After the village chief had calmed down, the bishop slowly explained the purpose of the trip.
But for some reason, Tifa saw his father's body shake and almost collapse to the ground, and even his mother began to sob, and the surrounding villagers seemed to be the end of the world.
It wasn't until much later that Tiph learned that the Church of the Gods dealt with heresy with extreme cruelty, and even the civilians affected around it would end up in a miserable situation.
Of course, he was still a child, and he only knew that after the bishop who seemed to have a lot of background finished speaking, many villagers, including the village chief, were paralyzed on the ground, and could hardly even plead.
"O great goddess of springs, your humble servant is here to worship you reverently, open the eyes of the gods, and judge the heresy here!"
In front of the altar in the small village, the bishop prayed reverently, and in an instant, a milky white light rose from the altar with a holy radiance.
"You guys, come over one by one to make a camp judgment, and the gods won't recognize a person wrong!"
The old bishop announced, and then the knights directly began to grab the villagers, press them under the altar, and force them to kneel down and repent.
One by one, the villagers were forced to perform the ritual from under the altar, but the white light on the altar was still there.
"Next!" the old bishop looked grim, as if nothing in the world was worth his frown, and the Templars were like golems, only knowing how to do their jobs mechanically.
Finally, it was Tifa's turn.
First my father and sister, and then it was my turn.
Tifa's knees were on the cold ground, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Quick! repent!" but a huge force immediately came from behind, and Tifa had to crawl down.
"I confess to you, the great goddess of springs, the god who is in charge of all springs, and the stars of heaven, who love us like a mother" (to be continued............)
