When Neil woke up again.

He found himself lying in a quiet and tidy room, and beside the bed, a young and beautiful woman sit.

"Ah, are you awake?"

The woman turned her head and met Neil's eyes, a flash of joy in her eyes.

"Who are you? Where am I? ”

Neil sat up vigilantly.

The woman smiled, wet it with a towel, wrung it out, and said:

"My name is Lafra, and the owner of the port has specially arranged for me to come and take care of you...... After you passed out on the battlefield, you were sent in for treatment, but the doctors were helpless and even ...... Even the doctor was infected and died. ”

Lavra tentatively rubbed the towel against Neil's forehead, who frowned, but didn't refuse.

I saw a palpitating expression on her face, and said with a happy smile:

"Originally, I was also determined to die, but fortunately, thanks to the favor of the flames, you survived, and the infectious disease that entangled in your body disappeared...... In fact, even the pastors of the Church of Redemption have come to see you, and they say that you will not survive...... It's a miracle! ”

Lavra's hand was gentle, the towel was moist and warm, and Neil's nervous heart was relaxed.

He couldn't help praying gratefully in his heart:

'Thank you again, Great Serpent, for saving me once again. ’

Lord Serpent did not respond.

It's just that what Neil doesn't know is that as he has been healed by "crystal cells" many times, his body has long ceased to be his own......

Soon.

After learning that the "Hundred Men Beheaded Nils" had awakened and miraculously recovered, Ivar, the lord of the port, accompanied by several ministers, came to visit him in person.

It was a middle-aged man who was not tall and somewhat obese, dressed in a wide dark blue robe, with expensive ornaments around his neck and fingers.

"Hero of Shaded Harbor, Lord Nils, I thank you on behalf of the entire Port City...... The war has gone so smoothly thanks to your heroism. ”

With a smile on his face, the harbor lord Ivar folded his chin and said:

"Next, I want you to be the head of the mercenary group and lead a team of five thousand people."

Neil furrowed a frown.

After all, he was young, and he was quite interested in serving as the head of the regiment, so he hurriedly agreed.

"Thank you for your attention, Nils will not disappoint your expectations."

"Good."

The fat man nodded in satisfaction.

He gestured, and one of the servants beside him came over with a wooden box, went straight to the bedside, and handed it to Neil.

"I think you can leave your old identity behind and work for me in the future...... It's a meet-and-greet gift, and I hope you'll enjoy it. ”

The box opened, and a hundred gold coins were neatly stacked inside.

Neil couldn't help but feel the prosperity of the green harbor and the generosity of the harbor owners.

That's the equivalent of five years of tax revenue for the Black Horn!

"Thank you, Lord."

Neil accepted the box and thanked him.

However, Ivar did not leave there, but asked kindly:

"Nils, you are young, but you are far more heroic than many of my knights...... I heard that you are a mercenary wandering from the south, what do you think of the Green Harbor compared to the south? ”

"It's prosperous here, my lord."

Neil replied truthfully.

Ivar smiled even more, and pointed his fat finger at the young woman sitting on the edge of the bed, and said:

"Lavra is the fourth daughter of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Shaded Harbor, and I think she should be worthy of you."

"Huh?"

Neil turned his head in surprise, only to see Lavra looking at him with a shy smile, and his heart was racing.

Lavra's facial features are very upright and have a delicate beauty.

In the era of such a feudal dynasty.

Neil was already seventeen years old, and as a noble child, he should have been exposed to men and women earlier, but after his father was killed in battle and his uncle Miller forcibly took possession of the Black Horn Collar, he became the most lowly servant, and he had no qualifications or the heart to think in this direction.

Now, he has the strength and is recognized.

The harbor lord gave Lavra to him, much to Neil's heart.

"Thank you...... Lord Ivar. ”

*

In this way, Neil joined the command of the port lord as a mercenary "Nils" and fought for him as the commander of the corps.

and settled down temporarily in the green shade harbor.

Lavra naturally became Neil's wife.

Although the two did not have any emotional foundation before, fortunately, Lavra has a docile personality, and Neil is handsome and extraordinary, and can fight well, and is also deeply admired by Lavra.

So their married life is also considered happy.

One day shortly after.

Chen Lun suddenly felt that the [Anonymous] ceremony had entered a critical stage, and he guessed that it was very likely that it was His Majesty Conrad and the generous council secretly helping, so that the Great War of the Century in the Sun Continent had reached another chaotic peak.

The huge feedback of the ceremony pushed Chen Lun's regional singing to a new height, accumulating 1,500 points, halfway through the ceremony.

Once again, he felt an irresistible sleepiness.

Chen Lun had a hunch that he would sleep for a longer time this time.

So before that, he told Neil that if he had the opportunity, he could start with the Church of Redemption and obtain the subsequent transcendent knowledge for promotion.

At first, Neil was still a little panicked, he had long been accustomed to the guidance and help of Lord Snake, and he was extremely uncomfortable with the sudden loss.

Fortunately, after a series of incidents, he became more mature and calm...... Confirming that Lord Serpent was only dormant for the time being, Neil let out a sigh.

He solemnly agreed to Chen Lun, saying that he would do everything possible to find the follow-up knowledge and continue to move forward on the "Sacred Flame Path".

"I will leave you three chances for 'healing' and 'epiphany', use them properly, and there will be no response until I wake up......"

Chen Lun said lightly in Neil's heart.

"Thank you, Serpent, I won't let you down!"

As soon as Neil kissed his wife, Lavra, he turned his head to look out the window and replied quietly.

"Good."

Chen Lun finally finished speaking.

He fell into a deep sleep.

The hazy consciousness fell completely silent, and I don't know how long it had passed.

When Chen Lun woke up again, it was three years later.

Bang da, bang da......

In the sound of a drizzling rain, there were hurried footsteps.

Chen Lun soon saw it.

Under the cover of night, Neil, who was already twenty years old, was tall and heroic, wearing a suit of close-fitting metal armor and a dark blue cloak, chasing and killing a man covered in bandages.

The streets of various stone houses are gray and old, the ground is damp and waterlogged, and the two of them have chased and fled to the corner of an alley.

"Nils, I really didn't expect you to improve so quickly...... In just three years, you've been promoted to Sequence Seven, and I can't understand why you didn't die from my epidemic in the first place. ”

The bandaged man seemed to know that he couldn't escape, so he turned around and said coldly.

Neil drew the lion sword and looked at the other with a blank expression.

"Don't delay any longer, Slapan, the blight currents you've spread along the way won't work for me...... I've always believed in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, and now you're going to die. ”

"Humph!"

The bandaged man named Slapan raised his hand, intending to summon the Worm of Disease to attack Neil.

But his arm was halfway up when he froze in place.

The eyes peeking through the gaps in the bandages flashed with horror.

I saw Neil gesturing with his left hand, using the [Commander]'s sequence ability to control the opponent's movements, and flicking a sword flower with his right hand.

Whining!

The flame, born out of thin air, attached itself to the sword, turning it into a flaming sword.

Poof!

The crosssword stabbed into Slavan's left chest, and the flames set his opponent's body on fire, and Neil smiled with satisfaction as he wailed.

I saw that his face was constantly ulcerating and bleeding pus, and there were herpes on his neck and arms...... In fact, what Neil just said was just to deter the other party, in fact, he chased all the way, and he had already accumulated quite a serious epidemic in his body.

"Heal!"

Neil said in a deep voice.

Soon, his "illness" was suspended, and he quickly recovered his health.

The herpes dissipates and the ulcers heal.

"The last 'cure' also ran out ......"

Neil let out a long sigh.

The expression was quite reluctant.

In the three years since His Excellency Snake disappeared, he has experienced countless battles, and he has long honed his iron will.

But every time I think of that great being, I can't help but feel awe.

Because of the lack of follow-up transcendent knowledge, he tried everything he could.

In the end, taking advantage of the trust and value of the harbor lord Ivar, he was recommended to enter the Church of Redemption in Green Harbor and became a monk in it under a false identity.

In three years, he walked on thin ice and climbed up step by step.

Now he is the most trusted legion commander of the port lord, commanding tens of thousands of troops, and also serving as the "parish priest" of the Green Harbor Redemption Church.

This is due to the fact that Shade Harbor is different from other regions.

Because according to the doctrine, the clergy of the Redemptive Church are generally not allowed to meddle in secular matters, but the area is far from the Holy Land of Klein, and the Harbour Lord has a close relationship with the bishop of the church, so there is an exception like Neil.

Neil smiled heartily as he watched his former enemies, who had used supernatural means to sneak up on him, burned in the flames.

But what he didn't know was.

The moment a sword pierced the other party just now, the "Lord Snake" hiding in his body had already used the "mind stealing" to see the secrets in the other party's mind, as well as Neil's experience in the past three years.

'Sure enough, it's Doctor Plague......'

Chen Lun sighed in surprise as he stole the information stolen from the bandage man's brain.

The transcendent path taken by the other party is called the "Epidemic Pathway".

Sequence 9 [Patient], who is disease-resistant and physically weak, but is able to control the disease he carries to a certain extent and spread it to other targets.

Sequence 8 [Ulcers], their own diseases will seriously deteriorate, and their whole body will be ulcerated, and at the same time, the infectivity of the disease will be greatly increased, and the cure rate will be greatly reduced...... And initially possessed the power to retain diseases in plants, animals, and even inanimate objects.

'The sick, the festerers, and the plague doctors...... If she can gain the follow-up transcendent knowledge, Maggie will be able to continue to move forward in the future. ’

Chen Lun couldn't help but think.

This is not a dead end at all, it is just because the erosion of the Sun Continent by the "Lord of the Plague" is not serious, resulting in a rather incomplete knowledge there. ’

At the same time, he also saw Neil's current sequence.

The Flame Pathway, Sequence 7 [Arsonist].

You can make a fire out of thin air, and freely manipulate the extraordinary flame to defend against the enemy, which is greatly destructive, and often the transcendent people of this sequence can serve as priests in the redemptive church.

"Neil Lucius ......"

Neil's heart suddenly sounded a familiar voice.

He was shaken.

Immediately, his face was extremely pleasantly surprised.

"Lord Snake! Are you awake?! ”

"Hmmm......"

Chen Lun's voice was as calm as ever.

"Don't be in a hurry to rejoice, you have already been monitored by the high-level of the Redemption Church, be careful when you return to the Green Harbor this time."

"My identity revealed?!"

Neil looked stunned.

Since coming to Shade Harbor three years ago, the Church of the Redeemer has not been traced, and he has even become a church priest now.

I thought that things had been buried over time.

Unexpectedly, now because of his own "demonic possession", he has once again attracted the attention of the Church of Redemption.

His face was solemn, and finally he said in a deep voice:

"I see, Serpent."
