On the pedestal, in front of the solemn and magnificent statue of the God of Light, the middle-aged bishop stood with his head bowed to Shan Smoore, his strong hands hidden in the wide white sleeves behind his back, his expression solemn and solemn.

Kneeling beneath the altar was a blonde young man tied up in a black nocturnal suit, flanked by six church warriors, their hands on their waists, staring at Douglas Adams.

A little back, Zhu Yaotang and Ning He sat on a row of church benches, they silently watched what was happening in front of them, and the two did not get up to stop them.

Douglas raised his proud head with a sinking face, and he looked at the opposite mountain on the teaching platform, his eyes full of sarcasm.

"Is that how the Bishop of the Church of Light acts? Disarm the King's knights for no reason, and force the son of Arling Adams, Duke of the Kingdom of Io, to kneel at the Statue of Light... No... It was kneeling before a Bishop of the Church of Light. ”

Ignoring him, he stretched out his hands from his back, and his wide sleeved robe was pulled up, revealing a scroll of gold wire inlaid with snow-white base pages.

Douglas's pupils narrowed, he knew this kind of scroll. This scroll, which is made of gold silk and a kind of snow silk that is a specialty of the northern part of the Kingdom of Io, is so precious that in the Church of Light, only the Pope's edict is loaded on it. And this weaving technique is only in the hands of the Church, so the scroll is also only owned by the Church of Light.

Therefore, the white scroll represents the will of the Pope, or the entire Church of Light.

Douglas felt a slight chill in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that behind this conspiracy was not only the participation of the bishop of the church in front of him, but also the participation of the pope of the church.

Xiang Shan slowly opened the golden silk white scroll, and said in a loud voice: "The Pope's Decree, the Knight of the King, the Knight of the Knights of the Holy Sword, the second heir of the Addams family and the guardian of Ephrès, Douglas Adams will be bathed in the light of the god of light and protected forever from the time it is read. ”

“......”

Douglas trembled slightly, and his look at the golden silk white scroll in his hand was extremely resentful. When the gold silk white roll was closed on the mountain, and the sleeve robe fell behind the back of the negative hand, his magic became relaxed, and he looked at Douglas with a warm expression.

"Douglas, what His Majesty the Pope means, do you understand?"

Douglas stared at the deep eyes of the mountain, and he slowly got up. The church warriors on the side drew their swords one after another, and just as they tried to approach Douglas, they were stopped by waving at the mountain. The samurai stood in place, silently watching Douglas as he got up.

There was a hint of hoarseness in Douglas's voice, "Douglas Adams, I don't understand the meaning of His Majesty the Pope. I am a member of the Addams family, and the Addams family has no tradition of faith. ”

"There is no tradition, it can be cultivated. You are the first, and there will be more and more later. "Facing the mountain forward, step by step down the teaching platform, every time he gets closer to Douglas, the pressure in Douglas's heart becomes a little bigger.

His heart was trembling.

As he walked along the mountain, his voice shining brightly, "The Addams family is a great family, and they are full of honors. And now, the great God of Light has noticed a flaw in His faith, and the Addams family can fill it in and make us stronger together! The voice of the mountain trembled with excitement, his expression became crazy and hideous, and his eyes were cloudy, like lightning and thunder!

"Douglas, this is your chance and your family's chance! The continental war is on the verge of breaking out, and if you want to make a name for yourself here, you can't do it on your own! Yours is also your brother Kaitarn Adams! As long as he doesn't die, you'll be left to live in the shadow of the new Duke Adams! Everything about you will be meaningless! The king won't open his eyes to you, the ministers and magnates will be attracted to Kaitarn, and your father, Arling Adams, will not hesitate to kick you away! ”

"Why ......"

For the first time, Douglas's eyes showed confusion, and he looked at the mountain in a daze, not understanding what he meant.

"Why?" He sneered at the mountain, "Because your brother has already married the beloved daughter of Duke Hobbes a day ago!" He is now the first in line to the titles of two dukes! ”

Douglas was terrified.

At the heart of the political map of the Kingdom of Io are the elderly King Jeffrey Ramsay and the Pope of the Church of Light, His Majesty Sid.

The three dukes and seven electors formed the backbone of the entire kingdom of Io, among which the Duke of Adams was neutral and never involved in disputes between royal power and ecclesiastical power. The Duke of Hobbes and the Duke of Bello were different, they were clearly opposed, and each supported one faction.

Duke Hobbes supported the royal power represented by the old King Fury Ramsay.

The Duke of Bello, on the other hand, supported the clergy represented by Pope Sid.

Now that the first heir of Duke Adams has married the only daughter of Duke Hobbes, who supports the king, if Kaitarn Adams eventually inherits the title of Duke of Adams, it can be expected that the balance of power will tilt in favor of one side, and that side is definitely not the Church of Light!

Everything is clear.

Douglas sighed in his heart, no wonder the Church of Light would send a bishop here, and his status as the second heir of the Addams family was now the only weapon that could deal with the king's faction.

"So... You planned that attack in the woods, you deliberately drove us out of the woods, you deliberately didn't kill me directly, until... Rescue from the Knights of the Divine Radiance arrived. Then you brought me here to see me alone. ”

Knights of the Divine Radiance......

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Douglas's mouth, the three major knights, but the Holy Radiance Knights under the Pope came to rescue him, he should have been alert.

"It's similar to what the little lord guessed, but there are still discrepancies in some of the details." He smiled at the mountain, and he was ready to add the whole thing to Douglas and solve his doubts. They have a lot of time tonight, no one to disturb, and they can talk a lot, a lot.

"Uncle, it's so real in OPEX, why are there still so many villains? Do you still want to die of talking too much? ”

A voice pretending to be very serious for advice sounded in the empty church, and he looked up at the two "strangers" who had been sitting on the side watching the play for a long time, and he had forgotten these two mortal men.

"Hehe, I don't know here." Zhu Yaotang's joking voice sounded in the church, and he also replied seriously, "In this church, it's not certain who is the villain, this adult likes to chat, just talk more, there's no problem." Maybe-" Zhu Yaotang deliberately lengthened the last syllable, and said faintly: "We are the villains." ”

The voice fell, and the cold light appeared.

But see, a touch of cold light reached Zhu Yaotang's waist and came straight towards him!

He frowned slightly, stood with his hands in his hands and did not move, and the two closest church warriors had already come to him, and the swords in their hands had already blocked the way of the flying sword.

"Bang dang!"

Zhu Yaotang's flying sword was not accurate enough, and he fell on the stone slab and floor tiles of the church, five or six meters away from the side of the mountain. Xiang Shan frowned, this performance is a little unsatisfactory, is this person here to be funny?

He looked at the bearded stranger, and saw the glint in his eyes, and the grin that made his heart flutter.

"Douglas!"

Shouting loudly at the mountain, regardless of grace, it was only too late.

The blonde young man had already picked up the long sword that Zhu Yaotang had delivered, and he didn't hesitate, and when the opposite mountain and the six church warriors were all attracted by Zhu Yaotang Ning and the two, his sword had already been handed in like a poisonous snake along the gap in the armor of a church warrior.

At this time, the sound of the mountain and the sound of the samurai falling to the ground sounded in turn, but Douglas still succeeded like a ghost in handing the blood-stained sword into the body of another church warrior who had already reacted.

The King's Knight's exquisite and delicate swordsmanship played a crucial role at this time, and Douglas did not disappoint Zhu Yaotang, he drew his sword and retreated to the church wall, looking at the two unkind-looking church warriors approaching.

The look on the mountain was gloomy, and he didn't react to this series of changes even though he had seen the wind and waves, and the two church warriors beside him were only guarding him, and the other two were persecuting Douglas.

"Hahaha! I'm free in the world, but it's a little troubled world! ”

Zhu Yaotang shouted, took out the long sword left by Lin Ling earlier, walked to the front of the opposite mountain, and looked at the church warriors and bishops in front of him.

"Uncle, although this is not reality, but are you also playing on stage?"

Ning He followed behind him, at this time he had reopened the state of spiritual vision, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly and couldn't help but complain about Zhu Yaotang.

Zhu Yaotang smiled and rushed directly to one of the church warriors who was guarding the mountain.

Zhu Yaotang's swordsmanship was very weird, and Ning He was a little stunned. The sword flowers he threw out easily dazzled the trained church warrior in front of him, followed by two clean swords, one sword unloaded the church warrior's weapon, and the second sword was a blood gurgling, and the church warrior fell to the ground heavily.

Everything happened between the lightning and flint, if there are still traces of Douglas's sneak attack before, then Zhu Yaotang's murder at this time is a miraculous skill.

Ning He thought of a possibility in his heart, Zhu Yaotang should be like him, mastering the "ability". It's just that compared to his kind of action on the spiritual level, he guessed that Zhu Yaotang's was more similar to physical enhancement or directly a certain swordsmanship sword style.

It's no wonder that Zhu Yaotang let him rest more before, and he must have discovered his abnormality......

At this time, Ning He looked at the pool of blood on the ground, even with the calming bonus of the spiritual vision state, he could still feel the slight changes in his body, especially the twitching of his stomach.

OPEX was so real that it made him feel guilty.

Just like the previous battle outside the woods, although Ning He didn't say it, he still tried to avoid recalling it afterwards.

All of them are far removed from those of them who live in IC 3389, and federal law stipulates some security protections for virtual reality, which limits the degree of realism.

Even during the Minghe War, 90% of the battles took place in the infinite darkness of space, and under the gaze of the stars, all that was transmitted back to the ground was a string of cold numbers.

And if you don't experience it personally, it's hard to imagine what it's like to feel like exactly.

"Gross."

In the end, I still didn't hold back.

Ning He looked at the lifeless corpse that fell to the ground and vomited.
