Chapter 66: A Devil's Village

Lily agreed with Meier's words and took off her priest's robes, but she didn't think that the villagers would really blame her for the old man's death. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

There may be some people, but there shouldn't be many.

However, judging from the voices heard at the scene, this person, who should not have been much, occupied the vast majority of the scene, and some of them even spoke very ugly.

Lily really wanted to put on the priest's robe at this moment, and then jumped up in front of the man, pointed at the man's nose, and asked him why he said something like that.

But Lily didn't dare.

Because Lily is afraid that the situation that Myer said will really happen, she is not much different from an ordinary girl except for her status as a priest.

Moreover, offensive magic cannot be used against these civilians.

In addition, the bishop of the neighboring town should not know himself, let alone favor himself, and perhaps it will be the third case that Mel said.

And the old bishop who took care of himself is probably still anxious about his running away from home at the moment.

Lily suddenly regretted that she had left the temple without saying a word.

But leaving the temple, Lily has no regrets.

I'm going to be the first girl to walk the world.,How boring it's to stay in a small temple all day.,I'm going to be a traveling priest!

Mel saw Lily's mood change, but didn't say much.

In fact, most of the commoners in Byzantium were still in awe of the gods to the core, and compared with the nobles, the commoners did not stand high enough and did not see enough things, and they were even farther away from the gods and the temple.

And distance is also a way to generate awe.

For example, a qualified king in a high position will never have fun with the ministers all day long and expose everything about himself, which will reduce the king's mystery and status in the hearts of the ministers.

But this village is different.

There are rumors of the devil in this village, and the people in the village believe in the devil, except for praying for God's protection, they choose to believe in the devil more than to pray for God's protection.

For example, this time, the old man was about to die, and they turned not only to the priest but also to the devil.

It's just that neither the devil nor the priest seems to have come in time, but strangely enough, they only blame the priest and say nothing about the devil.

Actually, this is also normal, the devil and the temple have different means of rule.

There may be filth and injustice in the temple, but at least it is necessary to make a fair and peaceful appearance on the surface, in fact, in addition to the prejudice against magicians, many temple personnel are actually friendly to civilians.

But the devil is different, everything depends on his own nature, if he is not happy, he will kill and kill, and if he is happy, he will also kill and kill, of course, the devil with brains will still give mankind some sweetness at the right time.

In these two ways, it is obvious that the devil does more harm to human beings, but some people will feel that the devil is better for them.

Maier couldn't help but think of the real villains and hypocrites in his previous life.

Take the worst-case scenario.

If a real villain wants to kill someone, he first rushes up, beats and scolds him fiercely, and scolds the dog with blood, a big nose and a swollen face, and then stabs him to death.

The hypocrite, who wanted to kill someone, first offered good wine and food, and said something pleasant, and finally gave a glass of wine, and then poisoned the wine.

The same is killing, and the methods of the two types of people are completely different.

Many people will hate the second type of person even more, even if he died without any pain and ate and drank well, but they will still hate the second type of person even more.

Maier felt that this was the case in the village in front of him.

The eagle fled under the pursuit of the archers, turning into a black dot, and was in the midst of it, and then, as if it had hit something, it shattered into a puddle of flesh and fell.

Mel's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt the breath of magic.

Obviously, the devil that the village fears may not be a real devil, but a creature who has mastered magic, perhaps a magician or a demonic creature.

As soon as the thought turned, Mel took Lily and hid beside her.

The eyes of the villagers instantly became fanatical, even if the death of the old man before made them cry painfully, but at this time, the painful expressions were all gone.

One by one, the villagers knelt on the ground and bowed in the direction of the distance, still chanting words in their mouths.

"See King Oliver, see King Oliver!"

Mel couldn't help but twitch, the name Oliver was not unfamiliar to him, not only because it was a superhero name, but also because it was a dog's name.

And now one by one the "devils" are also called by this name, and it has to be said that the world is just so many coincidences.

"Sacrifice!"

An old man snorted, and then three or four young men got up from the ground, and then quickly went into the house and took out some mess.

Maier looked closely and found several magical materials in it.

Strangely, though, there were some dead animal heads mixed in.

If this devil is really a magician, how can he use this method to confuse the public? But there is no need, whether it is a devil or a magician, they are the objects of the temple's suppression.

Or does this magician have some kind of preference for animal heads?

But soon Myer's doubts about the devil were solved, and a huge python wandered from outside the village, raising its head and passing by the crowd with a leisurely face.

And the villagers seem to be surprised by this.

"Meet the Emissary!"

The python nodded in satisfaction, took the sacrificial burden in its mouth, and then left in a completely different route than when it came, until this time, the villagers did not dare to stand up.

Mel dragged Lily and followed the python.

Of course, just from afar.

For now, Maier is not sure what kind of strength the devil behind the python has, so it is better to be careful, and entering the valley, the python burrows into a cave.

"What are we doing with this python? It's so dangerous, if we find out, we'll be eaten by it." Lily was a little frightened and breathless.

Mel stared at Lily, a glint flashed in his eyes, and said, "Don't you think you're curious? A group of civilians actually offered sacrifices to a python, and the python didn't hurt anyone. ā€

"So, that village must not be easy, and besides, we were seen by several people before, who were so busy kneeling down to the python that they ignored us. ā€

"If we hadn't run away now, what do you think they would have done to us, but we saw their secrets. ā€

"Besides, you shouldn't be the priest of a nearby town, but a few people have seen your face just now, but they didn't react at all, tell me your true identity. ā€
