Many modern people have a romantic imagination of knights, what knights have eight virtues, what guards the country to crusade against evil dragons, and what guards the people to protect the village. But in fact, in the Middle Ages lost on the earth, the good expectations for knights still only stayed in books.

The knight, in the final analysis, is the lord's retainer, the "alternative mercenary" who "I give money to the fief", and you and your family and servants are desperate for me.

The low-level noble-titled knights and barons are low-level nobles who are originally lords, and most of them have never had the idea of fighting for the grass people. On the contrary, in the event of war, the grass people will hold dung forks and become cannon fodder before they charge.

The knight was always loyal to the lord, and the lord was loyal to the higher lord, or directly to the king, and this level was superimposed on top of each other, which was the so-called "feudal system".

It's a bit ugly, but it's the cornerstone of society. Force is always the root of everything, and knights in heavy armor were invincible in that era.

What about the people, the civilians? Working in the fields is a better year, but more often than not, it is used as part of "property", squeezing for labor, serving as cannon fodder or something.

Lu Ping'an thought that the female rider on the other side was joking, but it turned out that the other side was really serious, and the serious one couldn't be more serious.

Please be sure to fulfill your commitments."

The next morning, Catherine, who learned the details of the transaction, reluctantly took off her armor, put on civilian clothes, and came over.

She was a retainer of the lord, and she couldn't refuse the other party's pleas at all, especially when it came to the life and death of the monarch, and perhaps her own life and death.

"I can't make sure your words are true, but I'm willing to be a guide to help you adjust to the local environment. This is not a peaceful holy city, and for some reason we cannot guarantee your safety."

Catherine was sent as an "intermediary", she was a watchman, at the same time, a hostage, and even, in a sense, a "gift".

But from another point of view, if Lu Ping'an can really fulfill his promise, perhaps, in the eyes of the lord, this is also an opportunity to get a ticket, at least, and he will not look at the loss of his property.

She knew all this herself, and she resisted with all her heart, but helplessly, she could not resist the lord's request.

But now, she has something more straightforward, she wants to ask outsiders.

Which is a doubt that has been confused and even confused since the long night.

She stroked the platinum icon on her chest, repenting of her wavering piety, and reproaching herself for the blasphemy that followed, but she gritted her teeth and said the words that should not have been spoken.

"Eternal Sun, Your Highness, has you really given up on us?"

As a devout believer, a knight who has received divine grace, wavering faith is unacceptable, and a few years ago, just saying this word, you could be hanged directly.

But these days, it is the gods who have gained strength from the gods who have shaken their faith the most.

They can sense that they may still be able to use some of their divine grace and divine power, but the effect has been greatly reduced, and no matter how they pray and exercise, the increase in strength is close to zero or even fades over time.

The most frustrating thing is that the faith of the people is missing, and they can't sense the sun in the sky, and they can't sense the great gods who are always loving and shining on the earth.

"He is the origin of all things, the Father of all life, the sun that illuminates all things"

Simple prayers mean a lot, and the sun god is not simply a lord of the sun, he is also the god of life and the god of the sun, which means that his existence is written into the basic rules of this world.

We can feel that without the purifying power of sunlight, there are too many mutated creatures in the whole world, and without the sun god and the divine sun, we can't hold on for too long."

The sun god of this world is also the god of life, and he has also joined the "principle of the world" under his own sunlight, giving the sun the characteristics of resisting pollution and purifying pollution. In many cases, high-density sunlight that descends directly and gathers can be used as a weapon to kill the Pollution Monster.

While such sunlight shines on mortals, it can also kill weak pollution and greatly reduce the pollution concentration of the entire world, which is a supplement to the sealing technique, of course, in the eyes of many people, it is a large-scale sealing technique released by the gods.

In the past, a paladin like Catherine had slashed demons with a scorching blade of fire, and now, her power and faith were waning by the moment.

"The sun god has not given up on us, is the sun still there?" Devout believers, with trembling in their words.

Her faith was shaken, but it was not broken, because after losing the sun, she became more and more convinced of the importance of "sunshine".

Perhaps, in their common sense, so the sunlight has the property of purifying pollution and expelling monsters, and as long as the sun comes out, everything can naturally get better.

The nightmare will end, the world will be saved, just like the countless heroic epics of the past, everything will end.

Looking at the trembling female knight, Lu Ping'an touched her chin, and then smiled, full of malice.

"The sun is likely to rise again."

opened his mouth, and it was Wang Bang.

In an instant, the woman became excited, her long red hair burned like a flame, and her renewed faith aroused her spirit.

"Then His Highness will also return? Sure enough, everything is a rumor, and He will not give up on his people"

"Oh, he's gone."

The next moment, Lu Ping'an sentenced him to death with calm words.

"I know of at least a couple of teams vying for the vacant Godhead. Tsk tsk, that's a chance to climb to the sky. ”

"Bang dang!"

The cup in Catherine's hand smashed directly on the ground, and she couldn't understand what Lu Ping'an was talking about at all.

In fact, the reason is very simple, the god ran away, but the "pit" he dug is still in the normal cycle in the world, but the missing piece needs to be made up urgently.

The world may have a will, or it may only have a vague instinct, but it is the most basic desire to continue.

The ceremony of the big cat's enthronement, to prove that his "rules" can be called the "principle of the world", is a newcomer trying to compete for an important position, which is naturally difficult.

But if a position is vacated, or if that position is not filled, something big will happen, then it is not a difficulty at all.

The fact is so realistic, approaching the end of the world, the threshold for ascending to the gods has been greatly reduced, which is the reality after Lu Ping'an has repeatedly determined that he is not trying to ascend to the gods now, but after the explorer incident, the big cat told him that "our risk has been greatly reduced".

If it was before, the legacy of the big cat, which was enough to ascend to the god's foundation, would become the target of countless life-type quasi-gods.

But now, with another more convenient shortcut to the gods, chasing the big cat's legacy will naturally be much less. With this time and strength, wouldn't it be good to go to the land of demons to compete for the opportunity to ascend to the gods?

"No matter who the new sun god is, it can't be the previous one anyway, and he probably won't stay long."

Lu Ping'an has no intention of hiding it, and he probably can't hide it, maybe in a few days, the sun will be rekindled, but everyone will find that it can't be any god in the past, there is no purification power in it, and everyone's expectations will be disappointed.

"I'm afraid, while the sun gods are stumbling, countless life department bosses are fighting for the life priesthood left by the sun god."

It was the legacy of a super god who was several grades beyond ordinary gods, even if he tore apart and swept away most of his power and godhead, but just those world principles and rules that were left behind were an opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step.

Starting from scratch and inheriting a Fortune 500 framework, manpower, and part of the resources to start is not the same thing at all, not to mention, the successful person will also get the favor and nutrients of the world's will, and will open the general growth and evolution, which is equivalent to getting a batch of angel investment, and does not need to pay back. This is not a good thing for the world.

As Lu Ping'an said, no matter who wins, they will immediately be separated from the world, and no one wants to be silent with the world.

The tragedy of the sun going out before will be repeated again. Or two or three times? Anyway, it doesn't matter, it depends on when the world can't hold on.

Is this stupid? Sure, but does the world have any other options? It may crave a savior, but who wants to save it and has the ability to save it among the infinite options?

When encountering demons, it is destined that the demons will dance wildly, and the people who ascend to the gods will probably be several times the accumulated in the past thousand years, which is the way to obtain the second world principle, and it is also the core goal of the god-level battlefield competition.

Lu Ping'an and his party. No, more than ninety out of ten explorers left a big city like the Holy City just to avoid being involved in a battlefield of this level, and it would be extremely inexplicable to die.

It's not even a good thing to stay where you are, a rule-level powerhouse who is red-eyed can force you to be cannon fodder casually.

In a small border area like Schleiling, there is actually no difference, just the difference between early and late death.

Lu Ping'an is very cruel and honest, he is declaring his sincerity to the locals, announcing the irretrievable end of this world Since the lord gave sincerity, Lu Ping'an is naturally willing to "fair trade".

"You can wait patiently for the sun to rekindle, whether to give your faith to a new god or to trust me with your trust. I'm not a good person, but I haven't broken my promises, let alone done anything evil. I'm in my world, I'm similar to you, and I'm also a security officer, probably, compared to other foreign visitors, I still have some bottom line. ”
