Chapter 142: The Test of the Apocalypse Knight
The building is as solemn and magnificent as the Paladin's Palace, but it has a completely different atmosphere from the Paladin's Palace, and it is difficult to associate this building with the word "god" with a suffocating coldness that seems to destroy everything.
Many people couldn't help but swallow the saliva of interference, and Darian suppressed the panic in his heart and said, "Archbishop, what the hell is this, what ......the hell is this?"
"This is what God the Father has given to the pious warriors in the darkness - that is, your great building, the Temple of the Knights of the Apocalypse, if the Temple of the Paladins represents the mercy of the Father, then this represents the wrath of the Father, those who become the Knights of the Apocalypse can no longer walk in the light and warmth, the Knights of the Apocalypse do not need these, they are the blade of the Father, the majesty of the Father, the punishment of the Father, the nightmare and the doom of all those who endanger the Church and blaspheme the power of God!" Link stared at the Apocalypse Knights Hall and spoke slowly in a flat but cold tone, then looked at everyone.
"The Great Father said that where there is light there is darkness, and there is no difference between the two, and I have mentioned it in my doctrine. The Paladins represent the light, they walk in the light, spreading light and hope to the world, while the Knights of the Apocalypse are the counterpart of the Paladins, who walk in the darkness and bring judgment and despair to their enemies with the power of darkness. Therefore, if you want to join the Judgment Legion and become an official member of the Judgment Legion, you must pass the test of the Apocalypse Knights' Palace, which is also the test of the Father, human beings are creatures of light, and it is easy to lose oneself when using the power of darkness, only those who pass the test can maintain the purest faith and heart in the darkness, and this is also the mercy of the Father, the great He does not want anyone to lose themselves because of the power of darkness. There is nothing wrong with darkness, only the heart and soul of man will fall, and only the most determined person can maintain himself!"
After listening to Link's words, everyone who had been a little frightened and hesitant because of the gloomy and dark aura suddenly relaxed. Looking at the Hall of the Knights of the Apocalypse, Darien asked an important question: "Archbishop, after dwelling in darkness, can the soul go to heaven to continue to serve the Great Father when he is sacrificed?"
This is a very important question, everyone cares about this issue, and everyone doesn't want to be abandoned by the Father because of the use of dark power, Link naturally understands, and immediately smiled slightly: "Of course, both darkness and light are created by the Father, in the eyes of the Father." Both darkness and light are equal, and salvation is available to all who sacrifice for the Church as long as they believe in God the Father and are loyal to the Church. ”
After listening to Link's words, everyone's last worries were gone, and suddenly, they were eager to try, and they couldn't wait to enter the Hall of the Apocalypse Knights.
Link didn't keep everyone waiting, and immediately announced the start of the trial. And the screening method is similar to the Hall of Paladins, first conduct a full assessment at the door, and those who pass can go in to receive the inheritance assessment, and those who successfully complete the inheritance can become the Knight of the Apocalypse.
Look at the majestic Hall of the Knights of the Apocalypse. Darian Mograini couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, as a veteran of the Father's God Cult, as a combatant and not weak in basic strength, Darian could only watch the people around him surpass him one by one, and even the people who came after him became more and more powerful. Although Link had never treated him badly, giving him the task of training warriors, it was not what he wanted. What he really wants is to charge into battle like those powerful paladins and saints, and spread glory for the Father.
It's just that no matter what building appears, Darian can't pass the trial, and he is always high or low, and his status is embarrassing, and now when he sees a new miracle creation appear, his heart can't help but live. Among all the people present, there were almost no people who were more eager to pass the trial of the temple than him, as long as he could get the approval of the Father and become a Knight of the Apocalypse, he was willing to give anything, and committing to darkness and the like could not hinder his will at all, not to mention that before he joined the Father's Cult, he was a heretic walking in darkness.
"Exalted Father, please guide and be gracious to me......" Thinking silently in his heart, at the signal of the archbishop, Darian led three hundred people to the Hall of the Knights of the Apocalypse, knelt down with a reverent face, and in an instant, a dark light shot out from the statues of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, devouring everyone, and the screening of the heart began.
In Darion's eyes, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, he saw a large group of infidels slaughtering the people of the Father's God, and immediately fell into a state of rage, took out his sword and fought with the infidels, killing the infidels one by one, but in the end, he froze, because there were only two enemies left in front of him, but one of these two enemies was a weak girl, and the other was a half-old child, and the helpless look full of fear made people's hearts ache after seeing it.
Darian couldn't help but put down the sword in his hand, but at this moment, he inadvertently saw the corpse lying on the ground, the innocent and desperate expressions of the Father God Sect made his heart sad, the put down knife raised again, and without hesitation, he killed the child and woman in front of him: "You despicable heretics, you dare to kill the people of my sect, blaspheme the divine power of the father, your soul will never be born in the darkness!"
With a roar, Darion suddenly cleared his head and opened his eyes, only to realize that he was still where he was, and that the massacre was just a hallucination, and around him, the rest of the people who were tested also came to their senses, but most of them showed a look of chagrin and remorse for failing the trial.
Through the words of those people, it can be known that they saw the same scene as Daryan, but their choice was wrong, they spared the child and the woman, or just one of them, but no matter which choice, there was only one result, that is, they were killed by those two people by sneak attack, and while experiencing the sense of death, they were also informed by the temple of the failure of the trial with a message of consciousness.
In the end, less than 100 people succeeded in completing the initial trial, and looking at those who failed, those who succeeded could not help but have mixed feelings, one was that they were glad that they had made the right choice, and the other was that the killing of children and women made them feel that their conscience was condemned.
Link saw it in his eyes and immediately said: "I know that many of you have difficulty accepting this kind of trial, but this is a choice that a person who walks in the dark must face, and only those who pass and firmly pass the trial can become a Knight of the Apocalypse and become a member of the Judgment Legion." Now, if you fail the trial, and those who don't want to continue, retreat, if you can't adapt to the darkness but persist, it will only break your heart and degenerate into something sinful, remember, I teach not only darkness, but also light, and if you can't adapt to it, it doesn't mean that you will disappoint the Father, and the merciful Father will not blame, because there is still a bright side waiting for you. ”
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and then, more than two dozen people who passed the preliminary trial withdrew, they all came with a heart of blood and revenge, after really experiencing the dark choice, they found that the soul could not pass that level, and continuing to persist would only collapse themselves.
Looking at the remaining seventy or so people, Link nodded, and then said to those who failed: "Those who fail the trial don't need to be discouraged, just like the Paladin Palace, the trial of the Apocalypse Knight Hall will be open once a month, and those of you who still want to try can come and participate again, the noble Father God will always be forgiving and will not give up on you because of your failure." ”
After everyone listened, those who still wanted to participate in becoming the Knight of the Apocalypse immediately breathed a sigh of relief and were full of hope for the future.
After appeasing the losers, Link led the more than seventy people who were going to continue the trial into the Hall of the Knights of the Apocalypse, and its internal structure was the same as that of the Hall of the Paladins, all of which were filled with prepared statue stone platforms, and Link said the words of encouragement to the paladins in a different way, so that the group of Knights of the Apocalypse reserves were also full of anticipation, eager to one day their statues could remain in the temple.
Eventually, the group came to the end of the temple, where there was a huge stone tablet carved with images of the four knights, none other than the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and below the image was a text written in eerie strokes - when the Father Link's wrath was wrathed, his spokesman would summon the knights on the white, red, black, and gray horses to bring plague, war, famine, and death to the sinners who were to receive the final judgment, and they were the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Doomsday Messengers of God the Father.
Seeing this text full of destruction, all the Knights of the Apocalypse reservists unconsciously had their hearts beat violently, and Darian cautiously asked, "Archbishop, may I ask, what do the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse mean, and does it have anything to do with the Knights of the Apocalypse?"
Link said slowly: "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are the ultimate goal of the Knights of the Apocalypse, the ultimate knights, representing the plague, war, Hunger and death, and these four words, respectively, represent the power of the four knights, the four horsemen of the apocalypse, is directly under the father, only the father and the spokesperson of the father can serve the strongest knights, perhaps, one day in the future one of you can become one of the four horsemen, but that is not a good thing, because the four horsemen of the apocalypse represent the end of everything, they want to completely wear out human nature, become the judgment blade of the father, even if the target of the judgment is their own relatives, they must not hesitate to do it. ”
When the knights of the apocalypse heard this, their hearts almost stopped, so it seems that although the four knights of the apocalypse are glorious, it is not necessarily a good thing, it is enough to be a knight of the apocalypse, if you want to be the four knights of the apocalypse, it is too ......
"Archbishop rest assured, for the glory of the Father, my subordinates have no regrets, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will be my life's pursuit!" At this moment, Darian spoke passionately, staring at the slate with burning eyes, and said at the end, "Since you have made up your mind to become the Father's blade, then the so-called emotions are meaningless, as long as you can help the church and guard the divine power of the Father, even if it becomes an emotionless weapon, your subordinates will not hesitate!" )
