Chapter 104: The Tavern (3)
Appearing at the door of the Alfalfa Flower Tavern, wearing the hand of the artifact-like Water Ring Lanya, it attracted the attention of everyone present, including the high-ranking members of the three major churches, and then they all stared at Pastor Gragus, the culprit who caused all the changes.

Priest Gragu's senses were very keen, and he felt the reproach, dissatisfaction, and doubt in the eyes of his nearby friends and friends, and his heart suddenly became dry and anxious, and he wanted to explain his motive for giving the order to arrest, but under the light of Shuijie Lanya, he couldn't speak at all, and he didn't dare to speak.
The Paladin Leader of the Hand of Justice withdrew his scrutinizing gaze at the Vigilant Eye Priest Gracchus, and saw the brilliance of the artifact-like artifact in his vision, and his heart sank heavily: "Trouble! He provoked a strong enemy of this level, and he also involved us, how did it end?"
When the target person showed the hole cards of the artifact-like weapon, the elite main forces of the three major churches that had originally formed an alliance immediately faced a situation of falling apart due to their different interests.
Lu Bin immediately noticed that the encirclement around the tavern showed signs of disintegrating slightly loosen, and he made up his mind to resist the incomparable power of Shuijie Lanya, and to exchange this strategic deterrent weapon for his own personal safety, as well as to exempt him from the responsibility for the heavy property damage caused by the short encounter just now.
"Fortunately, there are not many losses in the two groups of people before and after, the poisoned squire knights, with the antidote, will soon have a chance to recover their health, as for the guardian knights of the church, their physique is good, stay in the valley beast wave enchantment, except for a few drowning people who need to be rescued, the others have nothing at all. ”
"There are no major casualties, what reason does the three major church alliances use to accuse me? Besides, from the beginning to the end, it was the priest with the vigilant eye who fanned the flames, and I just passively defended and counterattacked. I am blameless in both axiomatic and moral terms. ”
Lu Bin walked out of the Alfalfa Tavern with a calm face, and near the position where he stood was a pit that had been sunken after the forced extraction of groundwater, forming a "moat" around the tavern, which was the first time that he had officially introduced himself to the civilians of Blackwater Town and the high-level people who held power.
There were no blooming flowers, no cheers and applause, only deathly silence all around, and occasionally a few people saw the light of the artifact-like artifact, and the thoughts of coveting and seizing could not help but rise in their hearts, and the sound of breathing gradually became heavy.
A veteran thief who often lingered in the Alfalfa Tavern, not long ago was beaten to the ground by the Guardian Knight of the Vigilant Eye, and he simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, and stayed in the sunken pit as the ground collapsed, and at this time, seeing the brilliance of the artifact, the greedy desire to occupy it in his heart was sharply erected, driving him to reach out and snatch it.
In front of everyone's eyes, a thief with a blue nose and swollen face quickly jumped up from the pit full of stagnant water, holding an enchanted dagger in his right hand, slashing at Lu Bin's wrist, and his left hand couldn't wait to reach out to the water ring Lan Ya with a halo of dense elemental light.
The members of the three major churches, especially the Vigilant Eye, know very well that the "Mage Rez", who wears an artifact-like ring, is definitely a ruthless person, fearing that the power of the artifact will descend out of thin air and rage on the nearby streets, and retreat back neatly and neatly very tacitly.
Unexpectedly, when the thief's right hand with the knife touched the wrist of the "Mage Rez", the dagger with the effect of enchanted armor-piercing and sharp spells could not be cut in the slightest, but was infected by a stream of emerald green gas, and followed all the way up, and knotted roots instantly grew on the elbows, arms, and shoulder blades, and the whole arm was completely lignified and quickly spread throughout the body.
As for the thief's left hand that grabbed Shuijie Lanya, it was eroded by the freezing air like a polar cold wave, and his entire arm was frozen by crystal clear ice.
The poor thief, half of his body turned into a tree, half of his body frozen, and even his all-free head was gradually lost in erosion.
It is a pity that this wanderer, who has been begging for a living in the gray area and walking cautiously for many years, was one day driven by his own greed to offend people who should not be offended, and his long life was shortened to the point where he saw the sickle of the messenger of death.
At the same time, the backlash of the thieves' rash temptation not only caused the nearby pretenders to put away their greedy eyes, but also caused the civilians of Blackwater Town and the high-ranking members of the three major churches to wake up from the good feelings they had accumulated on a daily basis.
A fragile life withered so easily in the bleak autumn wind, not only the young and promising knights of the church, but even the real power of Blackwater Town, such as the tribune Paulus, a big man above ten thousand people under one person, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Lu Bin shook his right hand slightly, half of his body was a tree and half of his body was a thief of ice, and he immediately slipped into the sunken pit under his feet, rolling in the mud and water, and the flame of life gradually withered and was about to be extinguished.
At this moment, Teagus Ritchie, the prophet of Thyr Austin's trusted advisor to the Lord of Blackwater, trotted all the way to the center of the town, and was forced to stand in front of the human wall by the crowd on the impassable tavern street.
The old man saw the water ring Lanya for the first time, and was attracted by the light of this artifact-like artifact, and immediately noticed the "mage Rez" wearing him, and originally inferred that this person was the incarnation of the gods descending to earth, but when they looked closely, they knew that it was not, so they judged that he was the chosen person of a god to exercise authority on earth.
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the fact that the mage Rez can wear and use the artifact without any punishment. If it's just a mortal spellcaster, it's completely unreasonable.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... All of you present are loyal officials, defenders of order, propagators and defenders of faith, and in front of all of us, this mage, who used his power last night to destroy the foothold of the false gods, destroy the doppelganger of the abyssal demon, and protect the peaceful order of Blackwater Town. He is not at fault, he should not be blamed and treated harshly, he is a hero we admire, and he deserves to be treated like a guest of honor, not a sword. ”
The face of the vigilant priest Gracchus suddenly became very ugly, and he knew very well that the prophet Tiggs Richie would not lie, nor would he lie for the sake of irrelevant strangers, and the only explanation was that "Mage Rez" was actually a noble man who did good deeds without leaving a name, and although he had told pale lies, he had nothing to do with evil.
Lu Bin immediately saw the aggressive pastor, and his head was depressed, but it was definitely not easy to make this self-righteous middle-level person of the church realize his mistakes.
"If it weren't for the fact that I had in my hand the artifact-like Water Ring Lanya, a strategic weapon with extremely strong deterrent power, Mr. Priest Gracchus would not have surrendered so quickly. ”
At the same time, the other two Churches, the upper echelons of the Hand of Justice and the Heart of Flames, were glad that they hadn't done it right away, provoking a spellcaster with an artifact, and whether they won or lost would be unbearable consequences for them.
Who knows the background and origin of this mage Lord Rez, such a person usually has a strong force behind him.
The Church of the Gods has a strong influence in the North, but in terms of overall strength, it is far less than the Great Council that unites all the Lords of the North, not to mention that different churches are always conflicted with each other in order to compete for believers, and the different factions within are even more powerful with each other.
The prophet Tiggs Ritchie is also a man of face in Blackwater, and during Lord Nell Austin's pioneering, he accurately foresaw several key events that turned the tide of victory and defeat, making the otherwise very difficult frontier much easier.
Trusted by Lord Nell Austin, he not only represents the will of the Lord of Blackwater, but also, to some extent, vouches for the actions of "Mage Rez".
Therefore, the high-ranking of the Church of the Righteous Hand, Paladin Toth Shiena, approached and asked "Mage Rez" about last night through the waterlogged tunnel.
Lu Bin bluntly stated the general situation, first admitting that he had accidentally discovered the bloody sacrifice of the pseudo-god, and used the Water Ring Lanya to kill it in ice, and explained the origin of the demonic maniac who attacked the Night Watchman, and the process of the demon clone in this body exploding and falling.
Paladin Toth Siena found that there was no loophole in it, and after pondering for a moment, he concluded: "Ignoring what happened last night, just talking about today's fight in the tavern, Lord Rez's actions have nothing to do with goodness, but they are definitely righteous. ”
The face of the priest Gragu of the Vigilant Eye became more and more ugly, but he was on the side of the other party in terms of strength and justice, and even the two allies of the Hand of Justice and the Heart of Flame were abandoned, and the only place he could rely on was his own people behind him.
Fortunately, the Vigilant Eye Church has not given up on Pastor Gracchus until now, perhaps the high-level officials present judged that he had not done anything harmful to the interests of the church, and always kept the precepts of the Vigilant Eye, and even if he was at fault, he would only deal with it internally, not in front of outsiders.
Lu Bin looked at this group of church people who did not admit their mistakes, and left in a hurry without saying a word, without even expressing the least apology, and couldn't help but shake his head gently.
"Vigilant Eye, today's incident forced me to use my hole cards and show my face in front of everyone, and I may be on the blacklist of key observations. Remember, I'm not done with you!"
