Chapter 281: Precepts and Oaths
Night.
Born opened the notes given to him by Conchenio, and most of the content was a tribute to Suren, the goddess of the moon.
If it weren't for the fact that this goddess was indeed a god, Born would have thought that this was a love letter written by a licking dog......
As one of the ancient gods, Suren is in charge of the power of the moon, whose celestial power can drive the tides and restrain the power of the orcs, so it is believed by the people of Netherel.
At that time, Netherel was plagued by orcs, and not long after the founding of the country more than 500 years ago, Nether established a monastery of the moon in the Abbey Mountains.
However, it was destroyed by a fire a few decades ago, and not only the temple was gone, but also its people.
There's nothing greasy in this at all, and he doesn't believe it when he is killed.
It is very likely that the Iolim family's breathing method was obtained from the Moon Monastery, and although they have been investigating the situation about the monastery for many years, they have no clue.
There seems to be some force behind it that buries all the information.
In fact, you don't need to think about it to know that only gods who are also gods can do it to this extent, otherwise which person or force would dare to do this.
Probably others had to guess, but Born could have been straight to determine who it was.
But even if he knew, it was useless, and to do this, his followers would definitely be in the Nether hierarchy, and even his church would be hidden in Netheril.
Born suspected that Congenio knew something about it, and that even the fire in the convent was a deliberate indulgence by the abbot, or rather a temptation.
「…… Acceptance and tolerance prevail over all other principles."
「…… All living beings are welcomed and treated as equal."
「… He will only fight when there is no way to avoid it, and when he must fight, he will become an awe-inspiring and furious god of war."
Bohn could only study it patiently and carefully, but he didn't expect him to find a clue.
Precepts and Oaths.
To become a holy warrior and a guardian of the temple, they must go through the "oath", and their functions are similar to those of the monks, so do the monks also need to "keep the oath" in order to perfectly master the "qi"?
This reminded him of the martial arts in the film and television dramas of his previous life, and the more profound the martial arts, the corresponding Buddhist scriptures are needed to resolve the anger.
Of course, the Buddhist scriptures here do not necessarily mean that they are necessarily Dharma, but can also be Taoist or Confucian scriptures, or the level of knowledge.
However, not everyone can become a scholar, so is there any other way to exercise the mind and eliminate "anger"?
Born has dealt with the Paladins a few times, and does not think that they can strictly abide by the "oath", most of the Paladins have some flexible "moral" bottom line, and their strength can still play steadily.
Then his speculation that the method of controlling "qi" through "oath-keeping" and "self-restraint" is not valid.
Just as Born was in a state of self-doubt, the "goddess" in the note came to his mind!
Goddesses, gods, gods?!
Wrong!
There's one more variable that hasn't been added!
Faith, divine power, and the magic web, all the information flashed through Born's mind in an instant, and he finally understood, he didn't expect the principle to be so simple.
Born couldn't help but hide his face and laugh, it turns out that even gods are not omnipotent!
Early in the morning, the manor training ground.
The father and son had a fight, and Born didn't use magic, thinking that he could easily fight Gordon with his combat skills, but he didn't think about it, and the more he beat Born, the more surprised he became.
"No, this is a high-level?!"
The horizontal sword blocked Gordon's attack, and feeling the pressure from the sword body, Bourne knew that he realized that Gordon might have been promoted to a higher rank.
Seeing Bohn's surprised look, Gordon smiled knowingly, "Be careful, I'm coming for real!"
"Okay, come on!"
Born was also eager to take the plunge.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but since being promoted to a high-ranking combat officer, Bohn has been enjoying the kind of fighting in hand-to-hand combat, the adrenaline is soaring, and the blood is boiling!
As the two slowly let go of their hands and feet, each blow of the two brought a huge impact, and the ground began to crack one after another when they couldn't withstand the trampling of the two.
The sound of swords clashing with swords kept ringing, the two of them were very fast, each blow would bring up a lot of dust and smoke, and only two figures could be seen moving quickly from a distance, both of them attached their "qi" to the weapon at the same time, Gordon's body was gentle and calm, and Bohn's qi was like a flame.
The speed of the two increased again, and the fierce battle soon attracted the onlookers of the rest of the manor, and when they found out that it was the old man and the young master who were fighting, they all showed surprised looks.
"Lord Viscount...... It's so strong!"
As a famous gentleman of Nether, Gordon's reputation is not good, he is a famous "waste", although the earl is not there, Gordon is a lot better, but everyone's image of him is still stuck in the past, I didn't expect Viscount Gordon to be so powerful at all.
What surprised them even more was that the little young master knew that Bohn was a genius arcanist, but he didn't expect his combat skills to be so good.
"High-ranking warriors! The old master and the young master are both high-ranking warriors!"
The knowledgeable guards have already discovered the strength of the two, which is simply terrifying!
With a muffled sound, the ground around the two of them directly sank into a circle, and Gordon quickly retreated on tiptoe, standing seven or eight meters away, and the faint white light around his body also disappeared.
Seeing this, Bohn took a deep breath, and the surrounding "Qi Flame" slowly extinguished, and as the "Qi" attached to the weapon disappeared, the sword in his hand also broke instantly.
Born knew that he had "lost" in terms of combat skills, and then he remembered that he hadn't paid attention to his father's affairs, and he had been asking.
"How? It's okay!"
Gordon walked over with a smile, the long sword in his hand was basically intact except for a few gaps, and the broken sword in Bohn's hand was already covered with dense gaps.
Born smiled wryly and shook his head, "Father, you are really ...... It's indescribable, it's shocking!"
"What shocked me was you, I thought I could force you to use magic, but I didn't expect you to be promoted to a higher rank!"
After saying that, Gordon couldn't help but sigh.
Born's mouth opened slightly, he didn't know what to say, his promotion to a high-level military position was full of accidents, to put it bluntly, he was purely brought up by "qi", and he walked the side door.
And through the fight, Bohn found that his father's skills were extremely skillful and had been cultivated into instinct, which could not be done in a day or two, but was a high-level training to a certain level of promotion, not a "parallel import" like Bohn.
Through the battle, Gordon also discovered the problem of Born, his "qi" is too violent, and it has even affected itself.
Born didn't explain much, but said that he had already figured out a way to solve it, and Gordon didn't ask much, he believed that Born could solve it himself.
After breakfast, Gordon finally asked about the battle situation at the front, and Born took a slight pause in his hand, and then naturally put down the triangular scarf in his hand and briefly recounted the situation of the regiment.
Although Born had tried not to show any emotion, Gordon could still feel the tragedy.
After a moment of silence, Gordon said, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
He knew that Vahn must have come back this time with some purpose, how much of a role a high-level spellcaster could play in the front line, so he didn't need to go into too much detail, otherwise he wouldn't have made a special trip back.
It was then that Beau's Ring received a message from Conchenio telling him to now head to the Mage's Tower.
"Yes, you have to!"
In Gordon's surprised eyes, Bohn slowly got up and said, "Let's go, I'll understand when I go to meet His Excellency Congenio!"
The matter was urgent, and now with every minute more, the pace of the goblin tide was getting closer to Nether, and Vaughn directly opened the [Secret Method Gate] on the spot.
On the other side of the door was the Mage Tower, and of course Bohn was able to open it smoothly with Conchenio's consent.
It's not like Wizard Taggordon hasn't been here, but it's the first time I've entered the Wizard's Tower through the spatial door like today.
As soon as I came over, I saw His Excellency Congenio sitting in the middle, and Gordon was not well, looking at it from the afterglow
Seeing the people sitting around him, he almost didn't stand.
"Your Excellency!"
Fortunately, he has developed the habit of aristocrats for many years, and he has not shown his foreign appearance.
Born also found that there were a lot more people today, and many of them gave him a very bad feeling, and some were even faintly hostile.
Of course, he is not a gold coin, and everyone is not expected to like him.
Born casually found a seat and sat down, and by the way, he also pulled one for Gordon, who twitched the corners of his mouth and couldn't help but look at Congenio, and the dean smiled slightly, and motioned for him to sit too.
After all, Gordon is Bonn's parent both in blood and in name, and there are still some things that need to be known to him!
Gordon swears the chair was probably the most uncomfortable he'd ever sat in.
"Okay, let's not say anything superfluous, let's get straight to the point."
As soon as Gordon was seated, Conchenio began to speak, "According to the information provided by Born yesterday, and the information from the front, the disaster of the goblin flood will be bigger than expected, and it will last for a short time, and we will rearrange the defenses."
"As for the arrangement measures, we have two plans, the first one is proposed by Born, to hold on to the Standing Rock Plains, establish a stronghold with the existing Shamsdine Legion as the main stronghold, and Habrigi City and Zenis City to assist in eliminating a huge part of the goblins outside the border......
"The second is to shrink the defensive line, with Habregi City and Chennis City as the main positions for defense, and cooperate with several legions to defend......
To put it simply, the two options have their pros and cons, the first one is definitely good, not only to defend the country, but also to protect several towns on the border, but ...... The Shamsdine Legion has been crippled, and even if they are not disabled, they may be able to resist the next goblin frenzy.
Of course, more importantly, if you want to take root in the Shamstin-Stand-Rock Plain, then you must rebuild the Shamstin's legion, not only need to rebuild, but also need a lot of manpower and material resources to support in the future, which is fatal, and who will pay for this cost? How to give? It's all a problem!
It's harder to cut meat from the major families than it is to fight a dragon!
Although the second one is relatively conservative, it doesn't cost money, anyway, it's its own way, and if you can't hold it, you can run back, Severton is still very big, and it's a big deal to build a city wall, so it only costs a few dollars.
Conchenio himself must have leaned towards the first option, otherwise he would not have held a meeting overnight, but as soon as his own interests were involved, the progress of the meeting came to a standstill.
That's why Congenio brought Born, a kid with a lot of ideas, not only advocating to stick to the Standing Rock Plains, but also thinking about building a city.
Seeing that everyone in the room was looking at him, Bohn knew that it was almost the same, but instead of answering directly, he asked, "The Langas barbarians must have already called for help, right?"
(PS: First ensure daily changes, and then increase the amount on top of that!) )
