Chapter 35: The Hidden Magical Page
Strictly speaking, Clinton wasn't strong enough to wipe out all the bandits around Sunset Town by himself, but given the time, a full-fledged knight could almost do it if he was ready. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Even though Clinton has been bathed in the brilliance of God, and his physical fitness is much stronger than that of an ordinary official knight, his strength is actually limited, and there is no qualitative change.
Although knights are too similar to magicians, they are also divided by rank, from one to nine, increasing step by step, and Clinton is just a first-class knight.
But Luffy is a second-class knight.
Although the difference in strength between the lower ranks of knights is not very large, and the gap is not as huge as that of mages, it is still extremely difficult to defeat the second level with the first level.
In particular, Clinton was still injured under the attack of the four knights.
Barring other accidents, Clinton would have died at the hands of Luffy not long after.
Of course, Luffy has this self-confidence, because he himself is the best among the second-level knights, and the record of the third-level knights with ordinary means has been defeated in his hands, let alone a first-level knight.
"Luffy, before I die, can I ask you a question?" Clinton suddenly spoke up and said, "I don't understand, what did I do wrong?"
"What did you do wrong?" said Luffy, smirking evilly, "How do I know what you have done, I know that Lord Ridley Lieutenant asked me to kill you, and I came." ”
"As for whether you have made a mistake or not, what does it matter to me?"
"But you are a knight of the temple, and with the glory of God, can you even do it to an innocent person?" Clinton continued to question Luffy.
Luffy smiled and said, "It seems that you have misunderstood something, who told you that the temple must represent justice? Who told you that the temple cannot kill innocents indiscriminately?"
"The gods are high up, and all they ask for is the faith of mortals, but how does faith come about? Of course, they will have faith if they ask for something, and if they don't fight them, how can they ask for something?"
"You probably can't accept this fact, but let me tell you the truth, this time, you are not wrong, Akeley is not wrong, the old bishop is not wrong, it is wrong, it is your fault. ”
"The power of the temple has changed, and the new bishop has succeeded, so it is natural to deal with all of you old bishops, and those who can understand the current affairs are naturally good, and those who do not know the current affairs will naturally be killed. ”
Clinton looked up sharply and said, "You mean, the bishop was not assassinated by a heretic, but a killer under the vicara?
"Why not?" Luffy pursed his lips disdainfully: "The old bishop has occupied this position for too long, and his strength is not as good as before, and he always interferes in the affairs of the temple, how can the deputy bishop tolerate it?"
"Naturally, if you find an opportunity, you will kill it. ”
Clinton's values were once again under attack, saying, "But doesn't God care?"
"Why does God care? Mortals are like ants to God, what does it matter if one dies? And the old bishop's previous practice was not conducive to faith collection, and God may be quite happy to change the bishop. ”
Luffy waved his hand a little impatiently, and said, "Okay, I also see you as pitiful, and I don't want you to be a fool, now that you already know the cause and effect, you can simply die." ”
As he spoke, Luffy took the giant axe and rushed over.
Clinton's eyes were red, but his expression suddenly calmed down, and he said, "I was originally lucky, thinking that you were chasing me because I had gotten along with heretics." ”
"Despite all the extremism, I was able to find a reason to convince myself, but now I understand, I understand all of you, you are a group of demons wrapped in human skin, and you are more terrible than heretics. ”
"Temple...... Oh, if you are so corrupt, then why should I believe in that so-called God?"
Luffy made a helpless expression and said, "What a simple child, he can't stand the stimulation and is crazy, but with the order of Didley Vice-Bishop, he is crazy and has to die!"
Clinton was expressionless and said, "I didn't want to use this power, even if I died innocently because I was implicated in heresy, I didn't want to use this power." ”
"But now, I think, this power is a thousand times greater than the so-called holiness of God!"
Luffy raised his eyebrows slightly.
Suddenly, Luffy felt the blood in his body boiling involuntarily, as if he had encountered a stimulus, and the whole person's emotions became a little excited, even excited.
Luffy knew very well when he would have this situation, and that was when he killed people, but now, people have not killed, why do they have this kind of emotion?
Could it be that he has been stuck in the bottleneck of the second-level knight for too long, and he is going to be promoted tonight?
But soon Luffy realized that something was wrong, because the ups and downs of the blood were very regular, and he could not concentrate his spirit more and make himself stronger.
On the contrary, the body is a little out of control.
Then Luffy saw a sword, its sharp blades, and the scarlet eyes behind it.
It's a pair of eyes that don't belong to humans!
"Demons!"
The blade stabbed into Luffy's chest with ease, and then withdrew, blood gushing out of the wound and splashing Clinton's face, who didn't react and walked towards the remaining knight.
One sword, easy to kill.
Clinton looked at the corpses on the ground, clenched his fists, and muttered to himself: "The power of magic is indeed powerful, I am only a first-class knight, but I easily killed a second-level knight." ”
"And that's just when I'm just getting started, it's no wonder that the temple is so jealous of magicians, even magician apprentices, it's a force to be feared. ”
Clinton looked up at the sky, frowned, and said, "Could it be that God is also afraid of this kind of power, so he hates magicians so much?"
"Even if these magicians aren't evil?"
"And to raise a bloody executioner like Luffy, just to increase the fear of mortals in order to gain faith, the so-called gods, in fact, are not much stronger than mortals......"
Clinton looked in the direction of the small town of Sealin.
"Lord Bishop, Akeley, I will avenge you, I will ......"
......
......
Mel was holding a page, his eyes were quite surprised, it was just an ordinary page obtained from a borrowed book, but he didn't expect that there was a magic hidden in it, and it was a magic that Mel had never seen before.
Shapeshifting, as the name suggests, moves one's own position in a short period of time, referred to as teleportation, of course, this one obtained by Mel is not a high-level magic involving space.
Otherwise, Mel wouldn't be able to study it, it's just light magic.
