Chapter 2 Forty-Eight Brave Men?
"It happened...... What?"
King Urban XXXV looked at the square with trembling hands. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "What happened? Who are the people in this square, are they brave men, why are there so many, and is the ceremony a success or a failure?"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the ceremony has been successful!!" a priest suddenly sprang out from the side and knelt down, "Recruiting a brave man from another world is a success." Your Majesty, your wisdom and martial arts are unparalleled in the world, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, happiness and well-being under your protection, and such a perfect peaceful and prosperous era is really rare since the founding of our empire. I think that such deeds are very good with the will of heaven, so the gods have sent down these brave men to help His Majesty to quell the calamity. ”
"Oh......" the king's brow softened.
"Whether the ceremony was successful or not is still up for debate!" a priest hurriedly ran a few steps and knelt down in front of the king, "It is unheard of to summon so many brave men at once, it is simply ridiculous!"
"Uh-huh....... ”
The king's brow furrowed again.
"This is the embodiment of the greatness of His Majesty!
The first generation of His Majesty only summoned a brave man, and the current Holy Lord summoned this second or third ...... Isn't this a testament to the fact that these dozens of brave men surpass their predecessors!? Your Majesty, you are far-sighted, and the little Diethart is willing to guarantee this with his life. ”
Not to be outdone, the priest raised his head.
"The temple is enshrined in a fluorescent bead left by the first priests, and it is said that this bead glows when it is close to the brave, so your majesty should go and get it now. ”
The king waved his hand like a fly. "Hurry up. ”
"In that case...... Your Majesty begs the Imperial Doctor to come to the rescue. The chief of the palace guard, the chief knight, Hogle, took the opportunity to say: "I don't think those boys and girls are in a good state, if there is any mistake at this time, wouldn't it be a loss for the country?"
The king nodded in agreement.
Hogel, who was allowed to walk into the square, was first surprised by the number of boys and girls.
"One, two, four...... Forty-eight?"
Forty-eight, it seems that this ceremony is really a big difference...... He crouched down and put his hand on the neck of a teenager............ - no pulse, dead???
Hogel was taken aback, and examined the boy more closely, yes, the boy was completely dead. The chief of the guard hurriedly ran to the next girl, but the girl was also dead, and the next one was also out of breath, and a cold sweat broke out on Hogel's forehead instantly......
"Ask for the help of the lightorcers and the priests!!!" the doctor shouted.
"I'm getting weak breathing here, please ask for first aid!"
Two shouts in the distance pulled Hogle back to reality.
"Thank you, Goddess......" Hogg returned to the queue to save people, and the light of holiness flashed one after another in the square, and the living boys and girls were treated one by one.
Forty-eight were cut in half, and only twenty-four remained, and I don't know whose first cry was, and the boys and girls who were spared wept together.
"It's hard to make any progress in this situation...... It's better to settle them down first. Hogg thought so, and addressed the king.
"Uh-huh....... The king made a muffled voice.
"Can you leave it to me?" asked Hogg again.
"Hmm...... Then, then you will be up to you!" The king finally decided: "I now appoint you as the head of the brave, and do not disappoint what I expect of you." ”
"Your Majesty is wise. ”
The strongest knight of the country, the chief knight, the chief of the palace guard, Hogg got down on one knee and sent the king away.
......
"In terms of results...... This ceremony was a success, but it was also a failure. ”
"How?" said Hogel in the garden of the palace, asking him the priest who had defied the king.
"The twenty-four boys and girls who survived were all brave, and there is no doubt that they were brave. Indeed, as the flattering villain had said, the ritual was successful, and the successful recruitment of a brave man from another world was also a failure, and everything that originally belonged to a brave man was given to forty-eight people respectively, and what was diluted to one-forty-eighth was probably lighter than water. ”
"So the brave are very wasted?" Hogg asked bluntly.
"It's not just a waste, but coming here from another world can't even do the most basic 'reliance', so there are a lot of deaths. ”
Hogel sighed hesitantly, "Is there any other way to remedy it?" ”
“...... Don't take things so lightly. The priest frowned, "All this is the will of the gods, and the gods chose them from another world, so they came here, without the support of the gods, the ceremony would never have succeeded." ”
"The Demon King has been revived, are we going to sit idly by?" Hogger grabbed the priest's shirt and said viciously, "I don't care what you do, you must find a remedy for me." ”
The priest's face was full of gloom, "What are you doing here?"
"Humph!" Hogger let go of him.
The priest breathed a sigh of relief, and then spoke again: "Don't show such a look, there is no one who understands the gods better than us who serve the gods." Gods have always been bad, but they never erase hope. ”
"Are you really a priest?" Hogg stared at him with contempt. "You just called the gods something. ”
"Don't care about those details, think about it, according to the theory I just mentioned, the forty-eight brave men this time should have survived. ”
"Huh?" Hogg seemed to notice something.
The priest looked at Hogel, his obviously expressionless face but inexplicably cold.
"But they survived half of them, and half of the forty-eight were left, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?"
"What do you mean?" asked Hogel earnestly.
The priest smiled brightly, "You can only understand, you can't say it, and you can't reveal it." ”
"Hmph......! I ask you, what's your name?" Hogel stared at him earnestly.
"My name is Amon, priest Amon. ”
"Resign from your position as a priest and come to me as my guest. ”
"Thank you very much for the invitation, but I am a servant of the gods, not a servant of the king. ”
"You, boy......" Hogg's face was full of impatience, and his drooping hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
Seeing that he was about to suffer, Amon hurriedly leaned down and said, "Your Excellency, as a pillar of the country, you shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving mankind, although this priest is not a guest for you, but as a member of the human camp, I am happy to help you wholeheartedly, my beloved Lord Hogel Urban. ”
Hogel's face stabilized.
"I don't think there is anyone in the whole country who is more proficient in the affairs of the brave than you, and I will entrust this matter to you for the time being, so as not to disappoint my expectations of you. ”
"Yes, this priest will do his best. ”
Hogg flicked his cloak and left.
"Hmph................... Amon slowly looked up at the sky and sighed.
"Next, is my role?"
