Chapter 158: There Is No Absolute Justice in the World (1/4)

After that, until the sun rose, there was no third wave of necromantic golems.

In the early morning, with smoke still emitting from the guard wall, a group of warriors guarded Lawson in the middle, trampled over the ashes of the ruins of the guard, and strode back to Whitehorse.

On the way, Xia Lina walked up to Rosen and asked softly, "How are you feeling now?" ”

"The spirit is very good, the mana consumed last night has been fully recovered, but in the next month, I am afraid that I will not be able to take the wisdom potion."

There are also side effects of mid-level wisdom elixirs, and after taking them once, they must be taken at least a month apart before taking them again, otherwise they will cause permanent damage to the body.

The high-level wisdom potion is longer, three months.

Xia Lina was relieved: "It's okay to be fine." ”

Lawson shook his head: "No, no, no, we still have to face many challenges, necromancers, barons, and rebels hiding in the mountains, if we don't have enough strength"

Charina laughed and raised her hand to pat his arm.

"Don't think too much, it's not your responsibility alone, it's us."

"Besides, this is all the trouble caused by the baron, and we can only try our best to make up for it, but we can't make up for it, so we can only let the baron bear it himself."

Lawson had just said casually that he didn't really care about the situation in Whitehorse Town, let alone do anything that greatly exceeded the limits of his power.

So I laughed: "If you say that, I'll be much more relaxed." ”

After that, there was no word all the way.

More than half an hour later, everyone entered White Horse Town from the north gate and rushed straight to the temple.

I thought that I would encounter the baron's men on the way to stop me, but I didn't meet any of them.

When the group came to the square, they saw that the baron's men were at the gate of the temple, and the gate of the temple was impenetrable.

Rosen looked at it, his heart moved, and he smiled lightly: "Xia Lina, I bet the baron is in the temple, and nine times out of ten, he is confessing his sins to the priest of Senger. ”

Xia Lina understood after a little thought, and there was a hint of sarcasm on her face.

"This guy watched us being attacked by a necromancer last night, and when he saw that we weren't dead, he immediately came to confess his sins, which is really as cunning and slippery as a mud fish."

The warrior Anglo was a little unconvinced: "Although the Baron is a little confused, he shouldn't sit back and watch us be attacked, right?" ”

If you know, you may not have time to rescue, but at least send someone to see it afterwards.

The vice-captain on the side, Fillin, smiled coldly.

"Confused? No, he's not confused, he's shrewd! ”

"If he didn't know anything about such a big movement of the owl sentry last night, how could he be a lord for 20 years in a dangerous place adjacent to the Falling Snow Mountains?"

Anglo's face turned slightly pale and he was silent.

Soon, the group went around in a circle and walked through the back door into the apse of the temple.

Xia Lina motioned to Firin: "Go and settle Anglo and the sentry soldiers, and Rosen and I will go to the front hall to see the excitement." ”

The two of them walked down the hallway until they reached the side door that led to the front hall.

The door was closed, but there was a small round mirror on the door, and the front hall could be clearly seen from the dim corridor, but when the front hall looked at the door, only one mirror could be seen.

The two of them stood behind the door and watched.

Because the mirror is relatively small, the two of them look at each other, and their cheeks are almost together.

It can be seen that the front hall of the temple has been emptied, and there are only two people, one is the chief priest of Senge, and the other is Baron Morey.

The baron, dressed in a simple linen garment and barefoot, was kneeling before the priest of Senge and repenting of his sins.

The baron was not tall, estimated to be only 1.55 meters, but he was very strong, and he had a face that appeared loyal and honest, and when he confessed, he had tears in his eyes and a face full of remorse and hatred.

The side door was not thick, and the baron's voice was not small, and the two of them could clearly hear the baron's voice.

"The main priest~ I swear to the Golden God, at the beginning, I really didn't expect that things would evolve to such an unending point."

"I hate it~~Papapa~"

He slapped himself several times in a row, and his face was swollen in a few strokes.

"Lord Priest, that necromancer has haunted me like a devil, and I can't get rid of it by all I can, but instead I have lost the lives of a large number of innocent townspeople."

"I'm guilty! I have a great sin~~Ahh ”

He wept bitterly.

As if infected by him, the priest reached out and gently caressed the top of the baron's head, softly soothing him.

Xia Lina turned her head to speak to Rosen, but her lips rubbed down his cheek, she was slightly startled, her heartbeat accelerated a little, she coughed lightly, and forcibly acted as if nothing had happened.

"What do you think?"

After finishing speaking, he secretly despised himself in his heart.

'Xia Lina, Xia Lina, don't you just touch your face, it's not that you haven't touched it, what are you thinking about in your head?!!' ’

Rosen also thought that nothing had happened, and he smiled faintly: "I saw a shameless person." Of course, it doesn't matter what I think, it depends on whether His Majesty the Golden Crown is willing to forgive the Baron for his crimes. ”

Xia Lina sighed softly, a hint of loneliness on her face.

"The Morey family has ruled Whitehorse for more than 600 years, and was already the master of Whitehorse 500 years before they were favored by the gods."

"They are the oldest and most orthodox lord family in the region, and their ancestors have done many great things, many of which are legendary."

"Now that he has kept everything to the dead and blamed all his sins on the necromancer Damsis, his prestige in the hearts of the townspeople is still there."

"In addition, although Morey has a son, the eldest son is only 11 years old, and it is not suitable to take over his father's lordship immediately."

"Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation of Whitehorse Town, the god will give him some punishment, but he will not deprive him of the lordship for the time being."

Rosen understood: "So, his price is to wait for his eldest son to retire silently when he becomes an adult, and then retire in White Rock Castle?" ”

"That's pretty much it."

Xia Lina sighed lightly: "Isn't it very unfair to be a murderer who collaborates with others and doesn't get the punishment he deserves?" ”

Rosen shrugged his shoulders: "How can there be absolute justice in this world?" Moreover, this is already the most just approach. ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"Justice is needed for the dead, and even more for the living. If the baron is openly executed, although it is enjoyable, the order of Whitehorse Town will also collapse. ”

"At that time, I am afraid that the number of people who will die due to the chaos will be far more than 200, and the life of the vast majority of people will become very turbulent. The North has lost a strong stronghold against the Frostlands. ”

"I agree more with what you just said than at such a huge cost."

Charina glanced at Lawson, and a hint of discoloration flashed in her golden-brown eyes.

"Are all mages so precocious?"

Rosen smiled, then shook his head.

"I was able to stay calm because I was a bystander."

"If I were a relative of the slain townspeople, then I would definitely be a firm supporter of revenge, and if God did not avenge me, I would do everything I could to carry out revenge myself."

"Good thing he didn't mess with you."

By this time, Morey had finished his confession, and as Charina had said, the priest of Senge forgave his sins in the name of the gods and allowed him to return to Castle Whitestone.

After the baron had left, Bishop Senge walked towards the apse.

He had long known that someone was eavesdropping, so he was not surprised to see Rosen and Summera.

After coming to the apse, he sat down behind a square table, sighed, and said slowly: "Charina, God has forgiven Baron Morey, but as punishment, Baron Morey must give up the lordship when his eldest son reaches adulthood and be grounded for life in White Rock Castle. ”

It's exactly the same as I guessed before.

Xia Lina walked over and sat down opposite the main priest: "Then next, the Baron will assist us in dealing with the necromancer and the ice-blooded warrior in the mountain, right?" ”

Senge nodded: "That's right, this is a problem he must solve, not only to atone for his own crimes, but also for the safety of the residents of Whitehorse Town." ”

Xia Lina spread her hands: "I hope he can seriously atone for his sins and stop making any small moves." ”

The priest of Senge said solemnly: "Don't worry, he doesn't have the courage to disobey the will of the gods!" ”

Rosen smiled secretly when he heard this: "I don't dare to disobey naturally, but I will definitely dare to disobey Yang Fengyin."

In the past two days, he had clearly felt that the Golden God's majesty was greatly dimmed in White Horse Town, far inferior to Silver Moon Castle.

'Leave the things of heaven to God, and the things of earth to the self-determination of mortals. ’

It doesn't seem to be a casual remark, but a gradual and strict fulfillment.

The presiding priest naturally didn't know what Rosen was thinking, so he slowed down his face and turned his head to look at him.

"God says that you are a valiant and wise warrior, and in order to reward you for your contributions, God will lend my hand and unleash a 'weak golden blessing' on your weapon."

Lawson was stunned, and some didn't understand.

Xia Lina immediately reminded: "Quickly give your staff to the presiding priest. ”

Rosen immediately complied.

The priest took the staff of flowers, said a few words of prayer in his mouth, and then stretched out his fingers and gently stroked the staff, from the handle to the tip of the staff.

With this action, there are many faint golden lines on the blade of the Flower Staff, which looks noble and mysterious.

After the release, the priest returned the staff to Lawson.

"Remember, child, that God is always with you as you fight for God's cause."

Lawson respectfully took the staff, infused the mana and felt it, and a stream of information suddenly flashed in his mind.

'Primary Weapon: Staff of Flowers info has been updated. ’

Immediately called out of the desktop, entered the treasure house to check, and found that the original two special effects have been greatly improved, and an additional special effect has been added.

Flower Staff (Golden Blessing)

Effect 1: Super High-Level Focus (40% increase in Mana Power)

(Note: The maximum mana strength can be increased to the master level, after which the Focus Crystal will be damaged)

Effect 2: Ultra-high-level energy transfer (mana cost reduced by 42%) (Note: The limit is 50%. )

Effect 3: Each time you use the staff to cast a spell, the Weak Gold Blessing will be activated, restoring an additional 30% of the caster's mana to the spellcaster.

Rosen was delighted: 'Tsk, what a blessing, worthy of the wisdom of God!' ’

Not only does the strength increase by an additional 5%, but the mana cost is also reduced again. The original 100 mana, after the staff's two energy savings, only needs about 40.

If you add a 25% energy-saving awakening potion, or even a 30% energy-saving concentration potion, it is less than 30% of the standard freehand spell.

But then, his heart sank again.

"No, the power of the golden god has always been fixed on my staff, so doesn't the god know all the spells I release?" ’

Even if it's a short-term effect, this fixed effect makes people can't help but think about it.

So is he using this staff or not?

After thinking deeply, Lawson decided to use it, because the effect of the staff was too strong.

The weak need the protection of the strong, and it is difficult to resist the prying eyes from the strong, so they can only try their best to keep the hole cards for the future.

Therefore, he would never use a power that was significantly ahead of his time on this staff.

Mana cost product calculation, I got it wrong once before.
