Chapter 36: Freedom
Yu Qian looked at the more than a thousand souls in his hand, muttered for a long time, and put the other beads into his storage space. Only the team that was still hitting the glass was left, and he threw the beads to the ground casually in a very casual manner.
"Smack. With a soft sound, as the glass beads were broken, a puff of black smoke quietly gushed out from the red clay ground, converging towards the glass beads that fell to the ground. A tooth-sore noise rang out from the glass beads, and a figure emerged from the glass beads with a tooth-sore and dizzying noise as if a dagger had scraped a blackboard.
His facial features give people the illusion that they can't see it very really, but judging from his figure, it is the team leader who wields a knife and slashes the divine servant.
He reappeared in front of Yu Qian, but he had no intention of drawing his knife again. The team just looked at Yu Qian in a daze, and then suddenly his legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground, like a wounded beast, hugging his head and crying. "Why, why, why don't you run!!"
Yu Qian looked coldly at the man who was crying in front of him, and said mockingly, "What can you do if you run? You are believers, attacking the divine servants, no matter where you run, you will die." ”
"You...... Isn't it a priest?" The team was stunned and looked at Yu Qian, who could be called a "fancy dress" in front of him, "But the outfit you are wearing...... Isn't the dragon head on this a symbol of the primordial temple?"
"Primordial Temple?" Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, as if he had grasped some important point, and asked, "What is the Primordial Temple?"
"Yes...... Liaison Officer of the Invisible Waters. The team also realized that the content of the conversation could be important. He suddenly tried to clamp his neck with both hands, trying to stop himself from answering Yu Qian's question. But under the condition that his soul had become Yu Qian's possession, his efforts obviously did not achieve any results. Under a huge force that was completely irresistible, the team felt that almost every organ of his body was rebelling against his will, and then said the answer that Yu Qian wanted.
"You've been in contact with the Invisible Waters. Yu Qian nodded, this kind of thing is for sure. After Yu Qian and Olinger Shaman and the others entered the bandit meeting, they would also choose to attack the large group of bandits in the convoy, and they were almost certainly the ones who were pulled into the camp by the invisible water and the black shadow. "Have you ever seen that shadow?"
"I've seen the Goodman Oracle. The team nodded, "At that time, he came to the Xiaocangshan camp with the liaison officer of the invisible water. ”
That's the bonus. Yu Qianke didn't expect to hear information about the black shadow from Team Zheng's mouth at all. "Tell me more about it. ”
The bandits of Xiaocangshan have been living in fear since they rebelled out of the barracks. Although it has become equivalent to rebellion, rigorous military training has brought them more than just strict discipline and excellent military skills. At the same time, the words "strict military law" were deeply engraved in the depths of their souls. Even if you know that there will be no more officers who will deduct military salaries wielding horsewhips, there will no more colleagues who will be cut off by the nobles because their attitudes are not respectful enough. But the group of big-headed soldiers was still in a panic. Even if they slept at night, they would seize the opportunity to give a few extra words to the sentries on duty. For fear that the army of the noble lords would sneak in front of the camp in the middle of the night and hang them all on the flagpole.
In fact, they are all afraid of death.
In this panic, the Invisible Water Liaison Officer who suddenly appeared, and Goodman beside him, had not been able to arouse any interest from the bandits in Xiaocangshan. Although it is not a production, Xiaocangshan relies on the bandits' belongings copied from several nearby mountains, not only does not have to worry about the lack of materials, but can even live quite comfortably. After all, those hills should be called the base camp of smugglers rather than bandits. All kinds of goods are readily available.
The liaison officer held a meeting with several leaders of Xiaocangshan for two days in a row, but still failed to convince each of the leaders to agree to cooperate. When the liaison officer in the invisible water was about to tear his face and threaten the leader to infiltrate the camp and assassinate him, asking Xiao Cangshan to cooperate, Goodman suddenly stood up and took over the negotiations.
He spoke only three words at the meeting.
"I am Goodman, the Divine Envoy, and my lord's name is Prometheus, the true god of the primordial temple. ”
"I want you to join the action, not a single grain of grain can enter Fort Grant!"
"After the action, you will receive the title of Primordial Temple Knights of the Cathars, and all of you will be promoted to the clergy, without worrying about being liquidated. ”
Xiaocangshan is boiling.
All of the leaders agreed to join the action, and eagerly asked Ambon about everything about the Primordial Temple. Like drowning people, they clung to the straw.
And everything that was questioned at that time became the intelligence content that the team had to explain to Yu Qian.
In the primordial temple, excluding the "true god" Prometheus, there are a total of three oracles. They are Goodman, Ludian, and Wuni. Goodman was responsible for walking the earth and exercising the authority of war for the church. Lu Dian was the oracle and pope in the church who was responsible for interpreting the oracles and doctrines. Wu Ni is the supreme leader of the "Great Prayer Hall", responsible for recruiting believers and identifying spies.
The priesthood of Prometheus is very vague in Goodman's description, and he is called the "god of men". It is claimed to be the first god to be born, and has extremely powerful divine power and extremely profound wisdom. The gods of other sects were all rebuked as foreign invaders and evil gods. Only by relying on the divine power of Prometheus can man be freed from the manipulation of evil gods and become truly free souls.
What a free soul looks like, and what an unfree soul looks like, the team has no opinion on this. And the Ambon Divine Envoy didn't say it. But the seductive aroma of the word freedom was enough to make everyone in Xiaocangshan dizzy—no need to pay taxes, no need to kneel when you see a noble lord, no need to be treated as a slave by an officer, no longer need to worry about being caught and tortured—just because you forgot to feed a certain young master's horse precious barley. In the minds of the Kokurayama bandits, freedom is such a simple and direct concept.
The team thought more far-reaching, if the Okurayama bandits could become the Guardian Knights, then with the support of a church that believed in the true God, their original rebellion from the barracks would not be a big deal at all. After all, in the face of a religious and military group like the Knights Cathar, the nobles have absolutely no second choice but to try to please each other - the Knights Cathar has the right to declare war! And the nobles who have been declared war cannot get the assistance of their own vassals and the nobles to whom they are vassals. No one wants to wade into this kind of muddy water.
As a result, the two sides happily reached a cooperation intention, and the Ogurayama bandits sent a deputy team and several leaders to attend the meeting. And Yu Qian and the others also successfully killed the bandits in the venue.
"That divine envoy, didn't say why you want to prevent grain from entering Fort Grant?" Yu Qian asked with a frown, if the other party was just greedy for food, then the defenseless farming heart was definitely a more suitable choice. And insisting on attacking the convoy can only have deeper plots and factors.
"I don't know......" The black shadow of the team was about to continue talking, but was suddenly cut in two by a wind blade. The already badly damaged soul could no longer maintain a stable humanoid form, and after a scream, the black shadow of the team was reabsorbed into the black glass beads.
Yu Qian looked at the team that was split into two sections, and his face was still calm. The hands behind his back shook a few times at the speed of bringing out the afterimage, and a complex magic array with a triangle as the core rapidly expanded out from under his feet. The magic circle fluctuated, covering a range of tens of thousands of meters around it, and emitted golden light around it. The golden light extended upwards in a gentle arc, and finally converged on the top of Yu Qian's head. The barrier that blocked the enemy's escape was formed. And Yu Qian's face finally showed a smile that the plan had been successfully executed.
"I'm still worried about what you're going to use as bait to get caught in the net. Yu Qian glanced at the slowly swaying woods around him, his expression full of pride and mockery, "I didn't expect that you are completely a waste except that you are good at escaping." I actually fell into the trap like this. I really need to say thank you, you've saved me a lot of effort. ”
"You outsiders, you dogs, all you have left are the tip of your tongue!" Goodman's voice rang out around Yu Qian, just as he did in the forest, he couldn't hear the man or woman, and his tone was indistinct. Only this time, I could hear that Ambon was a little flustered. "This kind of barrier that can be broken at the touch of a button, do you think it can trap me?"
"If you couldn't be trapped, you would have run away a long time ago, right?" Yu Qian laughed, and even the kung fu of testing each other in circles with An Wen was spared. "You're a bit of an eye-catcher, it's really a restricted enchantment specifically for the Divine Servant. If you don't see it, you can save me some trouble. In that case, you'll be broken down into powder. I can also track down the Divine Flame that supports you and find the location of the master you serve. Kill two birds with one stone, and everyone ends up with ease. While speaking, Yu Qian picked up the jade wat board that fell at his feet, and gently wiped it on it with his hand, and a light blade more than two meters long extended out with the jade wat as a bone. "But since you didn't hit your head directly, then wait for me to chop you into dumpling filling, and then throw it on it!"
"I hope you still know how to fight!" Goodman's figure appeared in front of Yu Qian. The weirdly proportioned right hand was raised high, "Anyway, it's all an enchantment for the Divine Servant, so I'll throw you up?"
"It scares the hell out of me. Yu Qian held the jade wat board in his right hand, looking very relaxed. "It's better to wait until you win, and I'll talk about it later, it's not too late!
Goodman's body moved suddenly, and when Yu Qian saw this, he immediately took a step back, as if he was ready to pull away to deal with the opponent's surprise attack.
And a faint, barely visible black shadow quietly appeared behind Yu Qian. The black shadow raised his distorted right hand and stabbed it quickly and silently towards the back of Yu Qian's head!
