Chapter 111
When all the teams had gathered and stood in their respective areas according to the pre-divided area, Lord Joseph, who had been sitting silently near the middle of the great rostrum in the center of the square, stood up and began to speak. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The legendary powerhouse was slightly taller and well-proportioned, and his gray hair was mixed with a lot of green, which was the result of the powerful force of nature in his body. His skin was very fair, almost like a scholar who sat in his study all the year round and rarely went out, but the sharp green light that flashed from time to time in his gray eyes clearly told everyone that he was by no means a harmless gentleman.
Ray didn't bother to listen to Joseph's speeches that could not have been more clichéd. But he was very curious about this legendary powerhouse, and he had been observing it carefully.
According to the information circulating among the adventurers, the lord of Joseph was a man of great attainment in both magic and martial arts. His martial arts are excellent, his spells are even more powerful, and he is a very powerful priest. He has studied with the priest of the Harvest Goddess Church since he was a child, so he is good at using sticks, and he is not weak in empty-handed combat, and in terms of spellcasting, it can be determined that he has the ability to cast intermediate spells, and the appropriate spells are combined with his powerful force, which is simply like a tiger.
It is true that neither in the field of martial arts nor in the field of spell casting, he has not been able to break through the limits of mortals. As far as the "legendary powerhouse" is concerned, he is actually not a really strong figure. However, the huge wealth accumulated by the Riley family for generations has allowed him to tailor a set of extremely powerful equipment for himself, which will greatly improve his combat effectiveness.
In the past years, he once fought alone against a legendary powerhouse, that is, a holy warrior of the Church of the God of Justice, because he insisted on a fair position and denied the privileges of nobles and big merchants, when he tried to try a noble son who trampled on a horse for the pleasure of the commoners, he broke into the court and killed him on the spot, and the entire church was uprooted, and nearly 200 people were hanged outside the city of Gars, and the corpses were hung all over the trees along the road- This was about ten years ago, and it was so uproaring that at least ten churches of good deities condemned him, and he didn't care about declaring them all undesirable, and anyone who dared to spread the teachings of these gods in the city of Garth would be hanged.
Around that incident, a small war broke out, and in the end, of course, the Riley family won a complete victory, and also made Joseph a powerful man in the famous continent. Many people saw him as a representative of the nobility and the big businessmen, and won great honor in this circle.
To be honest, Ray didn't like this guy very much, but he had to admire this man's strength and decisive determination.
The city lord of Joseph did not give a long speech, and soon finished speaking and sat down. Then, of course, his eldest daughter, the chief priest of the Goddess of Harvest Church, appeared on the stage, read the prayers, and performed a grand ceremony to invoke the grace of God.
And this is the direct reason why many people come to Gars City to participate in the mining ceremony.
Divine grace heals wounds and strengthens the body, making it an indispensable luxury for the wealthy. However, even the most basic charismatic ceremonies require the payment of hundreds of gold coins, a price that is completely unacceptable to the poor, so they can only hope for this regular ceremony, hoping to get health and heal some of the wounds that have plagued them for a long time.
If you look closely, you will find that the vast majority of the audience are dressed very shabby, and many of them even have dishes on their faces. The weather in early spring was still a little cold, and many people who were weak were shivering with cold. In fact, every year before the mining ceremony, many poor people who come to attend the ceremony freeze to death in the streets because they lack proper accommodation and enough food. In the past few days, Ray has seen such a sight more than once.
According to some adventurers who have been active here for a long time, the number of people who have frozen to death this year is still relatively small, much less than in previous years......
Thinking of this, Ray couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, full of pity for the miserable lives of these poor people.
He wanted to do something for these people, but he didn't know where to start.
Even though he had the courage to fear even a dragon, in the face of this situation, he still felt that he was too weak and powerless.
"Perhaps, with the strength of His Majesty the Void Kamene, it will be enough to practice his beliefs and change those things that are not pleasing to the eye......"
But he didn't know that His Majesty the Void Mask was also a little anxious right now.
The Shadow Lord is definitely not an easy opponent to deal with, this guy is not very large, but he is very powerful. Even if it was Sui Xiong, if he was hit hard by it, he would be in pain, and the injury would not be light. However, Sui Xiong's attacks on it were often dodged by the flexibility of its small body and could not be hit.
Of course, for the powerhouses of their level, hand-to-hand combat is just one of the usual powerful means, and melee combat is not good, so change to spell warfare.
The majestic ice magic completely enveloped a radius of more than ten miles, and even the space was frozen, producing a dimensional anchor-like effect. Sui Xiong believes that as long as he can suppress this damn guy's agility advantage, he will be able to catch it sooner or later and tear it to pieces!
However, the Shadow Demon Lord was well aware of his disadvantage and did not give Sui Xiong a chance to completely block the space. It constantly condensed the negative energy, like a sharp spear, piercing through Sui Xiong's confinement of space, rushing out before the space was completely blocked, but it refused to go far, always wandering within these dozens of miles, fighting with Sui Xiong.
In this way, the battle becomes a war of attrition.
In terms of the battle situation, the Shadow Demon King has the advantage and can walk away at any time, and Sui Xiong really has no good way to imprison it for the time being. However, in terms of combat power, Sui Xiong has an absolute advantage, both in terms of strength and understanding of strength, he is above the Shadow Demon King. Every time the magic of the two sides collided, he was able to gain an advantage in the exchange ratio. If this continues to be consumed, sooner or later the victory will be his.
But Sui Xiong's heart was full of uneasiness, his anger had subsided slightly, and reason had regained the upper hand. At this time, I couldn't help but wonder - I and the Shadow Demon King are also considered to be well water and river water, what kind of neurosis is this guy going to attack his own believers?
It is true that most of the guys in the chaotic evil camp are a bit weird, especially those who are chaotic to the extreme and evil to the extreme, and they are more directly neurotic. But since the Shadow Lord was able to accept the villains' prayers and was able to successfully complete the deal with them, it was definitely not a chaotic freak like Timsall, and his actions must have a reason, and a very clear reason, but he didn't know it.
...... What is the reason?
In the central square of Garth, the presiding priest of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest, Holi Lai, recited the goddess's hymn with sonorous syllables, and the powerful magic power jumped and rose over her, turning into a green light, like an emerald green vine, constantly spreading towards the sky.
This woman is ordinary-looking, but she has a pair of eyes that are so sharp that people dare not look at them directly. Her eyes were full of confidence and pride, like an unsheathed sword, sharp and sharp.
There is no doubt that she is strong, as can be seen from the majestic magic vines. But Ray secretly compared it in his heart, and felt that she was neither as good as her father Joseph nor as good as her brother Sheehan. These two people have been able to restrain their true strength, and they are usually inconspicuous, especially Sheen, Ray has been in close contact with him several times, but he has not been able to see that he is a spellcaster, such a skill is simply terrifying!
If he had to choose between the two siblings as an opponent, he would rather fight Ho Li than fight Sheehan.
After a few more moments, Ho Li's spell came to an end, and the emerald green vines had risen into the sky, disappearing into a light cloud that floated over the square at some point.
In an instant, the light cloud was full of emerald green brilliance, and a quiet and beautiful country faintly emerged in the light, with ripe rice and fruits all over the vast fields, and countless angels singing songs to work and harvest in it, a scene of abundant harvest.
"This is a projection of the Goddess of Harvest. Sheehan said lightly, "No matter how many times I watch it, it makes me feel uncomfortable." ”
Lei was startled, so frightened that the hairs on his back stood up.
Sheehan's meaning is too obvious, too shocking. Rao is that he has always boasted of being bold, but he was also so frightened that he was a little out of his soul - looking at this situation, it is clear that he is going to fight a god war!
At this moment, he almost had the urge to scold his mother, he was just here to inquire about the news, how could he be involved in the dispute between the god and the goddess of harvest!
You must know that the goddess of harvest is a god with medium divine power, and in the entire system of gods in the main world with the main plane as the core, she can already be regarded as a strong person. What a terrible guy who can beat his idea and want to fight him!
Lei has always boasted of his good strength, but in this level of battle, what is the difference between him and cannon fodder!
Oh my God! Your Majesty the Void Masquerade! I'm going to draw my sword now and hack that bastard of Sheen to death? What? I can't beat him? Go ******! I'm about to die from him!
But it was too late to regret it at this moment, he could only draw his sword immediately and prepare for battle, but not to fight Sheen, let alone protect this bastard who wanted to make big news, but hurriedly retreated, hoping to meet his companions as soon as possible.
At the very least, he had to protect everyone. As for other things, it's about to be a god war, who cares about anything else!
Just as Ray drew his sword in panic, Sheen also stood up. He stared coldly at the Harvest Goddess Divine Kingdom that was slowly emerging in the sky, the corners of his mouth curled up in a dangerous arc, and he waved his right hand.
"Come here, Lord of the Swamp and the Poisonous Mist!"
As soon as the words came out, the wind and clouds changed color, and the sky was shocked.
