Chapter 135: Inquisition

Guangming Mountain is located in the middle of the El Kingdom, more than 8,000 meters high, majestic and majestic, is considered to be the closest place to the sun in the human kingdom, the first Pope Enok founded the Glorious Church here, so Guangming Mountain is also known as the Holy Mountain. The Holy See of the Glorious Church is located at the foot of the Bright Mountain, and many high-ranking clergy come to the Holy See every day to report or go to the various kingdoms of mankind with new missions.

At the southern foot of the Guangming Mountain, the paladin Conlar raised his face full of years marks, looked at the holy mountain not far away, knelt down on one knee, recited prayers silently, and the old and white leather armor on his body glowed in the sunlight, emitting a misty fluorescence, and there was a glorious and holy taste.

After the prayer, Conlar did not continue his pilgrimage to the Holy Mountain, but turned west, turned a mountain pass, and came to a heavily guarded sentry. Several guards in intricate armor saw the holy light shining leather armor on the paladin's body, and pulled the gate up.

Conlar nodded to the guards and walked through the stone gate, the shining leather armor gradually fading and returning to its original appearance. Resonance is a phenomenon that is triggered by all clergy when they pray devotionally towards the sacred mountain. Its only function was to prove the identity and level of the clergy, and the clergy of different ranks could travel freely in the corresponding bodies of the Holy See, without the need for notification and inspection, even in the notorious Inquisition.

Behind the stone arches, there is a picturesque valley. Colorful wildflowers bloom on the meadows like a colorful ribbon. On the edge of the streamer, a clear stream flowed out of the valley, and the pure water crashed into the round pebbles, fell into countless crystal beads, and rolled into the never-ending water, and disappeared in an instant. On the other side of the creek is a neat and lush wheat field, the heavy ears of wheat have already shone a hint of gold, and the green wheat leaves move with the wind, and the rustling sound is delightful. There are also more than a dozen farmhouses scattered on the other side of the wheat field, which is a completely vibrant rural scene.

Conral walked down the stream into the valley, and a group of lively young children ran past him with their bare little feet, leaving only strings of crisp and childish laughter rippling around the paladin. Looking at the child in the distance, Conrad couldn't help but smile knowingly. Several middle-aged men in ornate robes smiled and saluted the paladin when they saw him, and Conlar responded with their heads bowed one by one.

The two sides passed by, and Conlar couldn't help but sigh, who would have thought that the rumored eerie Inquisition would be so peaceful and peaceful. Conlar continued on his way, and soon came to the end of the valley, where a delicate chapel sits halfway up the hillside, with a white waterfall hanging beside it, and a white-gold rainbow hanging from the spire of the church in the sound of rushing water.

Conlar climbed the stairs, and at the door of the church he saw a man in a short robe standing facing the waterfall, holding his hands in his hands.

"Good day, Lord Lesta. Paladin Conral saluted respectfully to the short-robed man.

Lesta turned around, he looked 30 years old, thin lips, a nose like an eagle's beak, and a cold facial line that outlined a sharp temperament like a knife blade, but his eyes were calm and calm, and the two completely different temperaments were surprisingly harmonious in his body, which made people unforgettable at first sight.

"Conlar, you look a little older, when will you be able to step into the silver realm?" Lesta smiled, his cold temperament like a glacial thawing, and the surrounding scenery came alive, Conlar was surprised and delighted, he knew that this was a sign of the resumption of the flow of the elements.

Conlar congratulated, "Congratulations, one step closer to the Realm of Legends. ”

"The legend of the knight is so easy to comprehend, and I'm far from it. Lesta shook his head and said, "It's you, who have promoted the paladin to the third level before you have even stepped into the silver realm. Are you reluctant to give up your divine grace? It seems that I should give you a long vacation, lest you go astray. ”

Conlar said embarrassedly, "Uncle, I'll try." You know, wizards are so rare now, and I'm not worried that when I need to advance in the future, I won't be able to find a wizard again. ”

Lesta sighed and said, "Indeed, the number of wizards is getting smaller and smaller now, and the hiding is getting deeper and deeper. We, the Trigovar family, have been at the helm of the Inquisition for 2,000 years, and we have not been able to receive the Divine Grace as much as before. However, the principle of knights first and paladins behind must never be forgotten. Otherwise, you will age very quickly, unless you can raise the Paladin's level to six. Again, this is impossible. Remember, we're knights first and paladins last!"

Conlar was shocked, and said convincingly: "Uncle, after this official business is over, I will return to the family to concentrate on cultivation, and if I don't become a silver knight, I will never use the battle magic technique!"

Lesta nodded and said, "Very well, it's not too late for you to comprehend it now." After all, our paladin's combat magic is based on itself, and while the holy power gives us great power, it also inevitably stimulates our potential, if there is no continuous replenishment of the void element, the life span of the paladin is a line higher than that of ordinary people. If it comes at the cost of severing the family bloodline, it doesn't matter if it's so powerful. ”

Conlar nodded yes, and was about to explain his intentions, but Lesta stopped and said, "I'll talk about your affairs later, and we'll see off our comrades first." ”

As soon as the words fell, in a dense forest opposite the waterfall, a blood-red flame rose up, and the white-gold rainbow light also turned into a blood-colored rainbow. Lesta and Conral stood solemnly, the light of holiness emerging from them, and then a straight pillar of light rose from the dome of the chapel, and the pillar of light rose straight into the sky, echoing the blood-colored rainbow, and after a moment the fire was extinguished, the pillar of light dissipated, and the rainbow turned back to white gold.

Lesta and Conrad chanted in unison, "When all things are dark, only the light remains." ”

Looking at Conlar's inquiring gaze, Lesta said in a deep voice: "No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can't sweep away the gloom in Femilo's heart, but unfortunately, he is only one step away from becoming a ruling warrior." ”

After a long silence, Conlar sighed, "This guy still hasn't survived. ”

Paladins, like priests, have strong beliefs and can also gain charisma through battle, but their level of magic is generally not high. The paladins are always at the forefront when facing aliens and orcs, and it is difficult for them to live long. However, the Holy Warriors of the Inquisition are an exception, and the current wizards are extremely deep and their strength is much weaker, so the Holy Warriors of the Inquisition have enough time to increase their divine skill level.

However, the Holy Warriors of the Inquisition often engage in some bloody and cruel deeds, which are contrary to their beliefs, and some Holy Warriors will lose their holy power due to the collapse of their faith, which is equivalent to being rejected by the Lord of Radiance. In order to reassure the faith of the other paladins, the Inquisition claimed that it could purify the sin of the paladins through flames and return the souls of the paladins to the embrace of the Lord of Light. For thousands of years, countless holy warriors who have lost their holy powers have chosen to burn themselves to ashes.

Fermilo is Conlar's old acquaintance, a fourth-level paladin in the Inquisition, as long as his divine skill level is raised by one level, he has the combat power of the silver rank, thus obtaining the title of Judgment Warrior, and the status of the Judgment Warrior is equivalent to that of a paladin. Now that Femilo has completed his redemption by self-immolation, Conlar sighs, and most high-ranking clergy know that the root of the Holy Power lies in the Radiant Codex, and there has never been a law of self-redemption in the Radiant Codex. Self-redemption is just a lie that cannot be revealed, and without this beautiful lie, it would be difficult for the Paladin of the Inquisition to hold on.

After sighing, Conlar said to Lesta, "My lord, I have two things to report to you this time. ”

Seeing Lesta's nod, Conlar continued, "The first thing is about Ant-Man. Ant-Man has invaded the Centaur Hills and threatened the survival of the people, which should be solved by the Radiant Knights according to the rules, but the Knights can't pull away now. I believe that the Inquisition should take on the responsibility of exterminating Ant-Man and protecting the people. It is also an opportunity for the family to receive divine grace. ”

Paladins can use divine arts, and their combat power is much stronger than that of knights of the same rank, but this advantage can only be maintained up to the silver level, and once the knight steps into the gold level, the surging elemental power will make the paladin's attack magic ineffective against it. However, the Paladins of the Gold Rank can use the Sacred Realm to control the power of the Elemental Sea with ease, achieving the same effect as the Legendary Knights. Therefore, all Paladins of the Gold Rank are Legendary Paladins.

Of course, the knights will call the Legendary Paladin a pseudo-legend, and there is an element of jealousy here, but the main reason is that the realm of the Legendary Paladin can only last for 30 minutes, and the Holy Power is always consumed faster than the Dou Qi.

Despite the limitations of the Holy Power, the Divine Realm is still the greatest advantage of the Paladin Family. In order to obtain the Divine Realm, the Paladin must increase his Divine Skill Level to Level 4, and in order to increase the Divine Skill Level, obtaining Divine Grace is the first choice for the Paladin. The Trigovars control the Inquisition, and what they lack most now is a stable source of charisma, after all, wizards are much rarer than monsters. It's no wonder that Conlar is salivating over Ant-Man, and even Lesta's heart is pounding.

Lesta pondered for a long time, then shook her head resolutely and said, "No! Gambis is the backbone of the White Tower, and the weaker they are, the easier it will be for our plan to succeed. The kingdom of mankind has been divided for too long, and if we continue like this, we will not have to wait for the devil to appear, and we will perish ourselves. Three thousand years have passed since the Sword Saint Draven killed the Ogre King, and the monsters of the Northern Wilderness will soon give birth to a new ruler, but we don't have a Sword Saint now!"

Conlar snorted for a long time, but still said: "Uncle, you are right, if you lose the root of your faith, no amount of divine grace is useless. It's just that we've been left too far behind by the other five families. The members of the family are a little unwilling. ”|

Lesta patted his nephew on the shoulder and said, "The overall situation is important! Although all the most elite paladins are judged, that is not the power of our family. If someone has thoughts that they shouldn't have, then his path to paladinism will come to an end. ”

Conlar's expression froze, and he nodded, "I understand, I will definitely convey your meaning." ”

Satisfied with Conlar's vigilance, Lesta smiled and said, "Let's talk about the next thing." ”

"Yes!" Conlar said, "The paladin Vincent, who is next to the family, has found two wizards in Alexandria, and before they have yet fought, one of the wizards decisively blew himself up, killing his companion by the way. According to Vincent, the wizard may have been covering up some kind of conspiracy, and was acting very fanatical, much like the fanatics of our church. ”

"Wizards are weird guys, and it's not worth all the fuss. Lesta said disapprovingly.

"I thought so at first, but Vincent said that the wizard mentioned a scapegoat and another fellow wizard called the Bewitcher. They are clearly implementing a plan. ”

"Well, it's a little strange that wizards like rats dare to carry out any plans, are they organized?" Lesta said with a frown.

Conlar replied, "I'm afraid so." ”

"I see, I'll send Konstantin to investigate this. ”
