Chapter Seventy-Six: Don't Pay Attention to Knots

Leo and little Paul climbed back into the carriage in a depressed mood.

"What's wrong, listless?" said Isennus, looking up from the book and looking at the two of them.

Leo sighed and told everyone what he had just seen.

After listening to Leo's story, Isenas buried his head in the book again, and said with a sullen head: "This is normal, the elite troops of the Sky Church in this area have been lost, of course we have to recruit new soldiers." It is impossible for a complete force to be without its own armed forces, but it will take at least two years to train new recruits to be ready for battle, and another two years or more if they want to reach the elite level they were before. In these four years, there will be a brief period of peace here. ”

Hearing that his efforts were indeed effective, Leo's mood was slightly better, but he was immediately destroyed by the words of Isennas.

"But in a few years, I'm afraid the war between the two sides will intensify. ”

"Why? Shouldn't they understand the cruelty of war and reject it?"

"Human forgetfulness is great, and five years is enough time for them to forget the pain of this time, not to mention that this war has not affected too many civilians. The pain is even shorter, and with the fact that the nobles have a much greater say than the commoners, five years of peace are already the result of our deterrence. ”

Five years? What can we do in five years? It's not even enough for a generation to grow.

Leo snatched the book from Isenas's hand, pressed it against Isenas's forehead and asked, "Isn't there really peace in this world?"

"Yes, but it's certainly not something we can do. Isenas didn't snatch it either, and took another book out of his bag to continue reading.

"Ending the hatred perpetuated by the war, stopping the initiators of the war, and cleansing the fanaticism of the people against the war all require a huge force, a long time, and a little bit of meticulous combing. What's more, some nobles, in order to obtain higher cohesion and soldier enlistment rate, do not hesitate to create hatred, promote hatred, and engrave hatred in the bones of the people. What can we do in such a situation? Kill all the lords? After they are killed, kill all the ordinary people?"

Speaking of the word hatred, Isenas raised his head and glanced at little Paul absently.

Little Paul looked at Esenas with some difficulty.

In his case, it was indeed difficult for him to let go of the damage that the war had done to him.

"So you mean that hatred is useless?" asked Paul Jr.

"It's useless, it's stupid, hatred only creates new hatred. If you want me to say, hatred is just a tool in the hands of rulers. Isenas criticized mercilessly.

"But I don't think the hatred can be erased. ”

"That's why war is eternal. Isenas closed the book, ended his discussion of the war, and said to Leo: "Instead of having the time to grieve here, it is better to look at the map and see where we are next." ”

Leo sighed, picked up the map from the side, and spread it out on the table.

"Our next stop is to enter the territory of the god of the sky, there is a kingdom of faith, everyone remember to disguise yourself as a believer, never say that you have no faith in the gods, here, no faith is a greater sin than a hostile faith. ”

Leo pointed to the map and admonished.

"Leo. Ente, who was on the side, raised his hand.

"What's wrong?"

"I have something. Ente straightened up slightly, his hair touching the roof of the carriage.

"Is it related to the Church of Light?" Leo said with a clear expression.

"Yes. Enn nodded. "Because of my cultivation method regarding the Holy Light Qi entering the Holy Realm, the Church has not given up chasing me for ten years. I was recognized by Babanik before, and now I am about to enter the realm of faith, and I am afraid that these pursuers will be there again. ”

"Got it, we'll take care of that. Leo nodded.

In the wreckage of the battlefield behind the adventure group, an elite squad is carefully searching the battlefield.

If someone probed the Dou Qi level of these people at this time, they would definitely be surprised, because among these thirty people, none of them had a Dou Qi level below the sixteenth level, and half of them were standing at the door of the Sacred Domain, waiting for the Dou Qi to complete the transformation of their bodies and enter the Sacred Domain, and the three people who led the way were the actual three Sacred Domains.

One of the leaders crouched on the ground, and with a blinding light on his hand, pressed against a wet grass.

The grass immediately erupted with a burst of brighter light.

The man looked closely at the two white lights, and although they were about the same, the light that burst out of the grass was whiter and purer.

This man withdrew the fighting spirit in his hand, nodded to the other two, and said, "It's him, you can't be wrong." ”

"After so many years, there is finally a trace of him. A tall knight, as far as Ente, wrapped in armor, said in a muffled voice.

Looking at the appearance of this fighting aura, his holy aura changed again. The man crouching on the ground stood up, remembering the light with amazement in his eyes.

"Then you can't let him go, his fighting spirit back then had a vague restraining effect on all of us, and if he continues to grow, will he compete with the Lord God of Light for the god position. ”

The man at the head listened to the argument between the two, thought for a while, turned to the others and said, "All, search for the traces of the former paladin chief Ente, gather here in ten days, and disband!"

The adventuring group, which was still swaying in the carriage, had no idea about the search behind them, and chatted about the map without a ride.

"The believers of the Sky Church should make this gesture when they meet. Leo put his hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and demonstrated it to everyone.

"And they call each other 'my brother'. Leo added.

"And women should be called that?" asked little Paul.

"Yes. Ente took over the conversation. As someone who has lived in the kingdom of faith, he knows more about their habits.

"Many churches have very strange rules, and the Sky Church is a brother church of the Church of Light, and I know a little bit about their customs. ”

"The term 'my brother' is common in most churches, and believers regard the god they believe in as their father, so believers are all children of this god and call each other brothers. ”

In addition to their names, they also have great respect for birds, which they consider to be the eyes and pets of the gods, and sometimes incarnations, symbols of connection to the sky. Therefore, eating birds and decorating them with bird feathers are to be caught. ”

Little Paul listened a little big-headed, and couldn't help but ask, "What about chickens?

"Of course, as long as it's winged, it won't work. ”

"And what if the followers of other gods eat it?"

"No, it doesn't. If the behavior is serious, warning and not changing can even be seen as a provocation to another church, which will lead to war. ”

"Then they are too pitiful. ”

Leo was also a little helpless, he knocked little Paul on the head and said, "Don't care about sympathizing with others, we are about to pretend to be a believer in the Sky Church." ”

"Luckily, it looks like we're only going to have to pass through a small part of the Sky God's sphere of influence. Little Paul comforted himself with optimism.

"Shall we pass through this dwarven city, Leo?" Ent's hand tapped on the map. "I think you mentioned the city. ”

"That's right, the city of the dwarves. Leo took a deep breath. "A hidden city in history, surrounded by countless institutions, a city that the god king has not been able to conquer for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Omoni, who was sitting in front of the carriage, was a little distracted.

"But that's not what I want to care about right now. Leo obscured the sign of the Dwarven City and pointed to a prominent sign in the Sky Church. "I'm more interested in the main church of the god of the sky, are you interested in grabbing a big ticket first?"

The reason for Leo's strong interest in this place is well known, and it is nothing more than a bad breath that he failed to completely stop the war.

"What's in the main church?" asked Paul Jr.

"Crowns, scepters, jewels, gold coins. Leo paused and said, "Of course, there is also the Holy Maiden, are you interested?"

"I'm still more interested in wealth. Little Paul thought about his little Paul and politely refused the last piece of loot.

"What about you?"

Ente scratched his head and said, "I don't have a problem, but this is the territory of the church, and the longer we delay here, the better the chance of being caught up by the church." ”

Isenus was still buried in the book, but he was very concerned about the matter, and immediately agreed to the proposal.

"What about you?" said Leo, who stuck his head out of the window and asked Ormoni who was driving.

"Agreed. ”

"Then it was such a happy decision. ”

The carriage turned a corner and set out on the road to the main church.

Perhaps because of the busy training of new recruits, the guards within the church were extremely lax, and the adventuring party easily infiltrated the city.

"How's it going?" asked little Paul softly, as he was in the church in service.

"Don't speak, but be silent when you pray. ”

Paul Jr. pursed his lips, bowed his head and pretended to bow down to the idol like the others.

At the end of the service, an old man with a crown and a red velvet cloak came to the stage with a scepter in his hand.

This man is undoubtedly the Pope.

"My brothers. As soon as the Pope spoke, before he could say two more words, Leo, who was kneeling on the ground, flicked his legs, and the tip of his sword was already on the Pope's head.

"I didn't expect to come out and scout and catch a big fish. Leo looked excited, his left hand pressed on the Pope's shoulder, and the blade of his right hand continued to test the Pope's head.

"Hello, my brother. In the face of the sudden change, the Pope's face did not change, his hands nodded on his shoulders, and continued: "I don't know what is the problem of treating an old man so roughly?"

"Hey, let's be clear, we're here to rob. Leo pushed the tip of his sword forward in dissatisfaction, only to feel a faint force stop his advance.

"Poor child, wealth is only a cloud of the past. The Pope shook his head approvingly. "What if riches can turn you back, the whole church for you?"

As the Pope said this, the nervous expressions of the believers below eased a lot. The Pope's words subtly reversed Leo and his status, stabilizing the Pope's image.

The peace of mind of a leader often brings a sense of peace of mind to the leader.

Naturally, the reaction of the believers also fell in Leo's eyes.

Leo shook his head and said, "I hate you guys who think you can turn things around by virtue of your tongue. ”

After saying that, Leo's sword body lit up, and the outside was also wrapped in a circle of airflow, easily piercing a circle of imperceptible blue light on the Pope's skin and inserting it into the Pope's head.

Bugati is so sharp as an artifact, and it is specially made by the god king to deal with the gods, so it is naturally irresistible for these clergy.

Leo kicked away the body of the stunned pope, sat down on the pulpit, leaned back slightly with his shoulders propped up, and said contemptuously to the terrified congregation below: "If you want to flee for your life, hurry up, and in twenty minutes, I will not leave a living person in this cathedral!"

On that day, the main church of the Sky Church was destroyed, countless cardinals of the church were killed, and the news of the death of the pope spread throughout the surrounding territory, along with the new name of Leo.

Blasphemers.
