Chapter 692: Gray-robed Watcher
In fact, Edward's entry into the war was completely unnecessary, and even though the bandits were large in number and there were three recruits to protect him, he was able to do it with ease. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
However, Edward hastened the bandits' defeat, and he had just entered the battle, and his powerful spellcasting ability and sword skills caused the bandits to panic and kill them all.
"Grey-robed watcher?" said Edward as he put away his two-handed sword as he watched the other man's wary gaze, pinning the "short staff" back to his waist.
"Sorry, bastard. The watchman ignored Edward, and he half-knelt before the corpses of the bandits, and whispered a word like a eulogy before turning to his three recruits, "Well done, recruits, even if this shouldn't have happened, they could- well, they weren't born robbers." β
"Now, get back what they stole and go back to your home. You saved yourselves. β
After watching the three recruits recover from the tension of the battle and scavenge the robbers for their belongings, he looked at Edward.
"You're not a farmerβa farmer can't be as delicate as you, how do you know who I am, who you are?"
"Edward Lee, judge of the Jury. Edward looked at the watchman's actions and nodded secretly, "According to our spies, the watcher of Feredon has disappeared, but a watchman has appeared here, so I came over to confirm it myself." I hope you can join us if you can. β
"You want a watchman to join the inquisition? the organization that was re-formed after the death of the saint of the church?" the watcher looked at Edward Dao, "wait...... Are you the Inquisitor who can close the rift?"
"Yes, that's me. Edward smiled, "Although the battle just now was short, it also showed me your justice and faith, if you want, you can join our jury at any time now." β
"Or that means I'm in your sights?" said the watcher, apparently interested in Edward, and shook Edward's hand without the slightest thought, "Blackwall, the Grey Warden. I'm glad you can remember the name of the Grey Warden, and we are usually the first to be forgotten when the dry tide is over. β
"That's why I have so much respect for you Grey Watchers. "Before I became an Inquisitor, I was a demon hunter, and I certainly still am. The ideals of your grey-robed watchmen are very similar to those of us demon hunters, and that may be the reason why we are attracted to each other?"
"Demon Hunter? Blackwall said, "But I don't seem to have heard of such an organization in Saidas?"
"It's not on the continent of Saidas, but I'm sure it will be soon, I'm the first, and you're the second. Edward Road.
"I don't understand, isn't the Inquisition different from the Demon Hunter?" asked Blackwall.
"They won't be the same. Edward sat down directly on a stake and said, "I have read about your Grey Warden in detail in some texts, and although I admire your ideas, I disagree with your approach. β
"Oh, I'd love to hear a peer say a little bit about us Watchmen. Blackwall sat down as well.
"I agree with the great ideals of the Grey Warden for the sake of the people against the demons, but I don't agree with your practice of using the blood of the demons to improve your own combat effectiveness, and I will not comment on the fact that you do not participate in the politics of various countries. "That's why I've separated the Inquisition from the Demon Hunters, and I'm going to give you the part of fighting demons in order to make the Grey Warden more integrated into the Inquisition." β
"Wait, Inquisitor Edward. Blackwall interrupted, "You want to bring all the Watchmen under your command?"
"Can't you?"
"I'm afraid it's hard. Blackwall frowned, "Strictly speaking, I'm not a qualified watchman, and I don't have a say in the grey robes, and I only want to join for some personal reasons." But if it were the other watchmen, they would never give up this glorious title easily, even if others did not understand the greatness of the title. β
"It's hard at first, and it's not that hard to do. Edward said, "Even warriors against demons must have human rights." The corrosion of demonic blood will shorten the life span of the watcher, which in my opinion, will greatly affect the development of the watcher, and many watchers will gradually fall and become confused because of the existence of this corrosion, am I right? β
"You're right. Blackwall nodded, "But only with this spirit of sacrificing oneself for the sake of a just cause can the Watchmen thrive in glory." Without the rite of initiation, the ritual of drinking the blood of demons, we grey-robed watchmen would not have existed in name only, and we would not have the strength to hunt demons. β
"So, now there is a power that can not only give you the strength to fight against demons, but also can only be obtained by those who have the spirit of sacrifice, but instead of reducing your lifespan, you can increase your lifespan, do you think the development of the Grey Warden's development will be curbed?"
Blackwall sneered and laughed, and said in a slightly teasing tone: "Impossible, there is a reward for paying, and if you want to gain great power, you must give something." β
"That's right, if you want to get this kind of power, you have to do your best to curb the dark side of a person - greed, lust, etc., which is worse for some people than death. Does that count as a contribution?"
Blackwall fell into deep thought, and nodded in agreement for a long time: "Of course, even ordinary people, it is very difficult to fully contain these dark sides. As I understand it, even we watchmen are equally very difficult, and I am a good example of this......"
"So, that's why I want to bring the Grey Warden under my command and change my name. Looking at Blackwall's expression, Edward knew he had convinced the watchman. "I can give you the power to make your ideals more perfect. β
"Are you sure you're not joking with me?" Blackwall said in astonishment, "I know that only the Creator can give us this ideal power, and that is the power of God." β
Edward patted Blackwall on the shoulder and laughed out loud.
"Using demonic powers to deal with demons? reminds me of Demon Hunters. β
Blackwall looked at the laughing young man inexplicably, and the latter quickly coughed to hide his embarrassment of being deducted points, and said, "This power is called holy light, I can teach it to you now, so that you can experience the beauty of it for yourself." β
"However, you have to think about it, Blackwall the Watcher, once you have accepted this power, then you will no longer be a Grey Warden, but a member of the 'Legion of Light' to which the Inquisition belongs!"
