Chapter 8: Grievances and Hatreds
In the final analysis, this matter has something to do with himself, Lord Cao has to sigh that he has made people, if he hadn't offended Montgomery, then it would have been the Templars. Even if Lord Cao felt that the Templar Knight was coming, he could only play and stare dryly, but he became the object of the villagers' request for help.
Because Lord Cao had stayed in the temple, he had only heard that the mounts of those knights were ground demonic beasts, and he had never heard of anyone who was driving flying demonic beasts, which doomed them to sigh.
Since it is involved, it is not Lord Cao's style to get out of the matter. Montgomery really looks up to him, first of all, he is such a creative job as slaying dragons, even if it is a dragon, it is also a dragon slayer, and he really looks down on Lord Cao's ability.
Aren't you able to fight? Beat Tevez to the point where you can't beat it, so try something different? That's Montgomery's idea.
After Lord Cao thought it through, he just smiled contemptuously, and he decided to slaughter this two-legged flying dragon!
The existence of the bipedal wyvern made the whole village panic, this beast is not the kind of good man who loves peace and will not provoke other neighbors. Since it came to the nearby hills, it has come to the village twice for three days to fight the autumn wind, and has already taken away several fanged wild boars.
The wild boar men of the giant forest who died under its claws were all trying to recapture their livestock, and a fanged wild boar could grow to weigh more than 3,000 pounds when raised, and each one was a very valuable asset to the villagers. These raised animals were an important bargaining chip in exchange for the goods they needed, making it difficult for the villagers to let the two-legged wyvern run rampant.
A fanged wild boar is probably enough for it to consume a few meals, so every time it comes to fight the autumn wind, it will also die down for a few days, and this beast has just come to visit on the morning of Lord Cao's arrival, so there should be a few days of rest.
Even the warriors of the Great Forest must admit that it would be a lie to say that they are not afraid, and the strength of the bipedal wyvern has made the villagers see the difficulty of this evil beast. The most annoying thing is that it comes and goes like the wind, first spraying some venom or saliva in mid-air, completely ignoring others who can't stand it, who wants to do this kind of business that can only be beaten and can't be started.
The whole village was coaxed by one person, and that was Barkley. Of course, there is nothing to fear of the powerful warrior who thinks that he and the Beamon Behemoth are the best between, and shouts at any time that this two-legged wyvern is a coward, and if he hits his hand, he will teach it to be a dragon in minutes. The courage is enough, but when the bipedal wyvern came to fight the autumn wind, Barkley was either squatting in the thatched house or sleeping too dead, I don't know if it was a coincidence or providence.
Buckley has a lot of brains, a bipedal wyvern can fly, and he is indeed as good at jumping as a monster like Beamon, and has a reputation as a "flying pig in the air" in the village, but the height of the air is not comparable to the flight altitude of the bipedal wyvern. It's not that Ba Ye can't beat it, it's that this thing will only fly in the sky and spit, one in the sky, the other on the ground, we are good at different fields, Barkley found such a convincing reason for himself.
As a child, Barkley was actually the thinnest and shortest of his peers, and at the age of twelve, he was still the target of ridicule from the children in the village.
"The beast god is too eccentric, why do you make me different from my clansmen?"
"Child, why should you be the same as others? Shouldn't every man pursue something different from others? Don't question the vision of the beast god, you don't have the strong figure of your peers, then there must be other places that they envy. Aunt Susan comforted him.
Could it be his handsome looks? Look, what sexy and symmetrical fangs! Look, born with sad pee-bubble eyes! Barkley was so intoxicated.
Auntie is right, the beast god is indeed not partial, Barkley has been much more cunning than the children around him since he was a child, and his height and strength are not as good as other children, but this thing knows how to use his own weapons and so on to level the disparity between the strength and weakness of the enemy and me at a very young age, and he has never suffered any losses in fighting. Later, it was like eating the growth feed, and then he came to the top, and he was one of the best in the whole village, and he became the overlord of the whole village.
Maybe it's the unique guidance and teachings of a wise woman like Aunt Susan, who is kind and simple, and she has such a vain and cunning son who seems to be a genetic mutation, I really don't know whether to say it's a family misfortune or an unexpected surprise.
Buckley let Lord Cao know the reason why his status as a priest was treated so differently, Lord Cao was not a powerful Templar Knight, at most it was disappointing, and he would not be so looked down upon. The fundamental reason is because the people of this village have a deep hatred for the priests, yes, hatred!
The servants of the beast god have brought too many unpleasant memories to this village.
This village is a cursed place, and there are priests in every era who think they have the ability to defuse the curse here. Not to mention low-level traveling priests like Lord Cao, there have been many high-ranking priests since Barkley can remember, which also explains why the people of this village are not at all as excited to see the priests as other orcs.
The high-ranking priests are not senior gods? They have the qualifications and temperament of the gods no less than those of Lord Cao, and Lord Cao's tirade in the square is also a rhetoric that those high-level priests have used for a long time. They instigated the simple villagers to boil blood, but none of them fulfilled their promises, and in the end they could only admit that they had no choice.
Lord Cao's tricks to attract popularity for himself are at most just leftovers from other people's play, and after a lot of experience, these villagers have developed antibodies, not to mention immunity, at least they have a deep defense ability. You can't do anything with a fart, who wouldn't?
If that's all there is to it, it doesn't make them so disrespectful to the priests. Mainly because there are also scum among the priests, and there are bastards who are hungry for profit. When he said this, Barkley looked at Lord Cao's eyes very meaningfully, the reason why he was willing to say this was also because he knew that this priest was not like the kind of priest they hated, Lord Cao's handwriting of throwing dragon crystals was diametrically opposed to the sacrificial scum in his mouth, and the conduct of this traveling priest was more like a high-level priest.
It is not denied that many priests have good motives for coming here, but there are also some guys who want to try their luck and make a name for themselves as gangsters who are not willing to leave without catching anything. So they fell in love with the natural bravery of the boar warriors of the giant forest, and several mad priests even made up all kinds of reasons to trick these natural warriors into hunting demonic beasts. They say they want to get some magic items so that they can help them with the curse.
One can blow more than the other, the giant forest boar warriors have been deceived again and again, and the backbone of countless clans have died in the lure of those unscrupulous guys, and the final result is that these guys have left a sentence that there is no way. Or that the grade of the magic crystal is not high enough, and then "regretfully" leave, this kind of boredom can't even be reported.
Priests are also a valuable asset of the empire, and the abuse of power for personal gain has gradually formed a potential inheritance, and it will only be ignored if it is reported. These brave boar people of the giant forest stubbornly refused to leave here, they couldn't be the followers of these scum priests, and they used this way to maximize their benefits, but they didn't do anything, but they left indelible traces for the further decline of the population of this heroic race, and left a bloody lesson for the villagers.
Eventually, these simple villagers no longer wanted to trust the priests with their halos, and they were able to see the dirty side behind the auras of these priests more than their fellow orcs.
These bastards! Lord Cao's eyes flushed unconsciously, and he could imagine what those giant forest pig warriors were so generous to die for. It would be nice if they achieved their goal, but their sacrifice only made the whole race worse. How can those scum priests endure it, how can they get this hand!
At the beginning, Lord Cao was wearing a tattered priest's robe, and he was completely a down-and-out priest, and he was directly regarded as one of the scum who came to the pit to be abducted. When Lord Cao was in high spirits and pointed out the country, those villagers who lost their relatives did not jump out directly and turn their faces, and it was already very face-saving to beat Lord Cao violently.
Aunt Susan is the calmest person, she has never given up any hope, so she still treats Lord Cao so respectfully, and has never hated the priest like everyone else. When summoning the clansmen to the square, many people even directly refused, and they had to thank Barkley for coming to Qi, but the way he used was not necessarily what Lord Cao wanted to know.
"It's coming, let's ignore this stupidity. According to the law of the past, which priest is not allowed to sprinkle blessings on us when he comes? They are not good, but the blessing aura is good, and those who dispel diseases and disasters and strengthen their bodies are free. We'll leave as soon as he's busy, and as for what he says, just fart. "Behind his mother's back, Barkley said to the villagers.
His bad idea was approved by the villagers, and the cunning and small-scale peasant mentality of this commodity can be seen. The simple townsfolk have no real means to take revenge on the noble priests, and it is good to vent their anger in this way.
So, Barkley's actions made Lord Cao see all the villagers, and there was nothing to say about the pomp, but at the same time, it also caused Lord Cao to suffer more coercion and contempt, which is also not to be said.
Barkley wisely did not tell Lord Cao and kept Lord Cao in the dark. He is the only great man in this world who has already pitted Lord Cao several times not long after he met. From this point of view, he was very successful, and even His Majesty Stern had to give a thumbs up when he knew about it: Awesome!
The first time he met the villagers, Lord Cao's only dedication was that his aura of divine comedy rippled for a while, and that's it. Lord Cao, who knew the ins and outs, didn't say anything, he couldn't do what those priest scum did, and repaying grievances with grievances was not in line with the old man's teachings.
"Try to give as much help as you can to those who really need it, this is manhood, do something, don't do something. Do you understand?" said the old gentleman of the fairy wind dao bone more than ten years ago.
At that time, the seven or eight-year-old child nibbled on steamed buns and nodded, not necessarily understood, but he definitely remembered it. Long enough, so that Lord Cao has enough opportunities to savor these words.
