A terrible explosion was like thunder in the sky.

...... It's even more terrifying, because it's closer, it's deeper, and it's one after the other. Mixed with the squeaky pain of the temple, the dark red fire and the storm gushed outward from the window lattice, illuminating the gloomy sky, and the shattered crystal shards reflected the rainbow in it......

The strong shaking of the ground made everyone unsteady, but their eyes seemed to remain on the terrible scene in front of them—the Temple of Dawn shaking, cracks spreading on the façade of the beautifully carved reliefs, as if there was an indescribable monster imprisoned in the sanctuary, struggling and conflicting, trying to break free from it! The flames pushed the rubble outward, and then it tumbled, and the smoke rose like the head and neck of a snake lizard, and even the rain that grew stronger could not extinguish it! The storm carried an indescribable pungent smell, and the legendary dragon's breath was nothing more than that.

The sturdy golden façade tried to resist for a while, but as if to prove the futility of that effort, the successive explosions from the inside out added more smoke, dust and flames to the walls, and finally, the tower, which was high up in the sky, toppled down in a bone-aching grinding sound and turned into a mass of tumbling thick ashes!

The dust rolled and dispersed, enveloping the entire square, turning the already dark sky into a yellow-black mixed with firelight, and billowing plumes of smoke rose just like the scene of the coming end!

And the crowd froze, running, almost unimaginable in front of them, so that all the people, soldiers, knights, and even holy warriors subconsciously crowded together, curled up, with a look of despair in their eyes, and even forgot to shout in surprise.

"I see...... It is divine punishment! It is divine punishment! God has punished these evil evildoers, they are sinners!" An old man's voice screamed, almost inaudible in the roar, but it shook everyone's heart like the bell of a silent night!

"They...... They harbor sinners, so the god of dawn will punish them!"

One by one, the voices began to be in tune, and the voices that converged made people stop, they were frightened, they realized, they began to kneel on the ground, and threw themselves to the ground towards the five bodies of the 'divine punishment' of the Lord of the Morning Dawn, reverently reciting their respective prayers.

For a moment, no one had the idea of extinguishing the flames in their minds, they just surrounded the flames, watched it roll and burn, and completely swallowed up the former temple, allowing the bright light of the fire to light up half of the sky, and also to reflect the deepest depths of the eyes of everyone in the city who looked up to this scene.

......

But the one who made the fire has now escaped into darkness.

Edward walked slowly down a dark alleyway, turned a ruined stone arch at the end, and stood behind a ruined mansion. The building gathers here in a small open ground, where rain falls from the top of the stone arches, dappling the mottled walls and reflecting the light of the reddish-purple flames in the sky.

The flame of light shook silently, and then, ripples of light and shadow rippled in the void, outlining a slender human form wrapped in a short dark green robe.

"Lord Castle, they have no suspicions, thirty-seven priests, including one deputy priest, seven high-grade priests, and twelve holy warriors, all of whom are men, and we have all burned them with fiery glue or acid, and no one should show any signs of their assassination. ”

The half-elf who emerged from the void bowed slightly, whispered, and then took out three or four wooden boxes ranging from one foot to two feet from the dimensional bag on his side, and opened them one by one: "From the arrangement to the end, it takes a total of ten hourglass scales, within the one hourglass you requested." Now that the Temple of Dawn had completely collapsed, the fire was still unabated, and even if the rain intensified in the afternoon and evening, it would not be in any way. ”

Edward nodded.

In fact, as the mastermind of Yiqiē, he had already determined this outcome before leaving the square.

In order to ensure the effect, this time he let these half-elf killers use these explosives, which are high-grade products mixed with magic gems, and the explosive power is not at all comparable to those simple gunpowders, so although it is only about thirty pounds, however, knowing in advance the precise arrangement of the temple structure and the orderly detonation method, it is more than enough to collapse a temple that is not too big. Not to mention that he has always been cautious, and he specially asked them to bring a few barrels of fiery glue. Even if the façade of the Temple of Dawn on the Camino is made of stone, it is more than enough.

Unfortunately, the only drawback is that the value of this kind of thing can hardly be described as expensive - to be more precise, it is sky-high, these thirty pounds of explosives cost almost fifteen to twenty times their own weight of gold, or the equivalent of those gold magic materials to make zuò, just like that, it is still the most cost-effective ingredient that those old mages have researched.

Fortunately, this harvest is more than enough to compensate for these losses.

Chests, large and small, were placed on the table in front of Edward by the half-elf wanderers, except for some gems and magical items, most of them were neatly arranged with parchment shining with magical luster - it was the title deed, the title certificate, and the large denomination of gold bills, all of which belonged to the Temple of Dawn, but now, all the people who knew the inside were basically dead and wounded, and no one could count any traces from the huge fire.

In this way, if the Dawn Church's forces on the Camino want to restore their original form, I'm afraid it will take at least a few years, right?

Although the method of eradication of the explosion is not thorough compared with the burning at the stake, the Inquisition, etc., but without the guidance of most of the priests, and hearing the shocking scandal with their own ears, it is presumably that the belief in the dawn in the city of the Camino has been shaken from the foundation, and as long as the direction of public opinion is properly guided, it must not be difficult to completely discredit this god.

It would be great if a nationwide boycott could be promoted.

A grim smile crossed the corner of the Psychic Warlock's lips.

Although this can only be imagined. Lansendel has powerful divine power and numerous temples, almost all over most corners of the entire Big 6, and it will not be easy to completely defeat such an enemy, whether it is force or strategy. In such a populous metropolis, it is impossible to completely eradicate a temple of the dawn, and if they can be severely damaged, the operation can be considered a success......

But even an incomplete destruction can accomplish its goal...... It's a war, that's enough.

"Well done, Meliane, and Carlos. ”

With a sigh, he spoke.

Behind him, one tall and one short, two figures had already walked in from the stone arch.

"We just spread some rumors and didn't do anything. ”

Compared to the half-elf who bowed slightly, the big man with a few scars on his face did not show enough respect, in fact, he stared at the young man who slowly put the boxes into the dimensional bag, and there seemed to be anger in his eyes.

This man's actions made the former kingdom veteran angry.

Spread the word, guide the people, and kill the soldiers of the Demon Wolf Legion...... This qiē was all done by Carlos and the half-elf Meliane, and the so-called culprit, the priest did not do anything at all, but was just a little impatient to treat the little girl, and how true were the words of the girl?

At the very least, she must have seen the three soldiers killed...... Carlos couldn't see why she was telling that kind of lie, especially when she tried to lie in the realm of truth, and the most bizarre thing was that the lie hadn't been recognized—so it was evident that she had participated in the farce as a 'witness', and the person who had been standing not far from the girl had done something.

Whatever it was, in short, he achieved his goal.

Carlos never imagined that he would become an accomplice to the evil people who plotted to sabotage and rob the Temple of the Dawn Temple. Moreover, it is the use of such despicable means.

This made Carlos angry.

In fact, he didn't know exactly where his anger came from, either because the instinctive justice and kindness of human beings did not allow such a conspiracy to be cunning and despicable, and even involve innocent girls, or because deep down, he still had some childhood longings for the Dawn Holy Warriors, or because the important people he admired were also firmly controlled by this despicable person.

Silent, just thinking a little in his heart, the young man's words made the knight shake slightly. "Carlos, do you think I'm going too far?"

In fact, the slight word 'excessive' is not enough to describe what this guy has done.

"The priests, a few of them were at fault, but they didn't die, and besides, there were some people in the Temple of Dawn who didn't know anything about it, and they were all innocent. The former knight captain of the Warrior Battalion spoke, carefully choosing his words: "What's more, even if they are sinners, destroying the Temple of Dawn is not a way to punish them. ”

"Innocent......"

The young psychic sorcerer turned around and smiled at the middle-aged man: "What I did is certainly a loss, but as an exploiting class, where are there any innocent people in this group of gods?"

"Oh yes, you don't know what the exploiting class is. He shook his head and continued, "Well, to put it simply, those who live by taking the wealth created by the labor of others, those who enjoy the life that others provide. Kings, nobles, gods...... They are a bunch of robbers, thieves who take the wealth of others in a grand manner, but they are far worse than those people! Because although they steal wealth, they do not take any risks, they do not get hanged or chopped off like robbers and thieves, and they even enjoy the admiration of all people. In fact, the world's largest exploiting class is God. Therefore, none of these so-called people who do the will of the gods, the so-called pastors, can be described as innocent. ”

Priests, nobles, kings, all thieves and robbers?

This remark made Carlos feel that his thinking was a little stiff, in fact, it was not only him, judging from those dull eyes, everyone was probably holding the same doubts as him.

So, the psychic simply continued to answer their questions.

"Look at the poor people, why is Lansendel's church so rich and the poor people so poor? Why do you think they are poor? Does it have anything to do with whether they are lazy or not? You are not rich, do you think that the poor are industrious? Or do you think that poverty has to be borne by some people?"

"No......" Carlos didn't nod, and then remembered that he should refute this person's cold behavior, so he could only force on: "But...... Even then, the Church is financed by donations from the faithful, which is not the same as that of the aristocracy......"

"Where did you say the donations of the believers came from?" Edward interrupted him with a question, but did not wait for him to answer, "The donations are mainly merchants, and nobles, right?"

"It's money earned by rich businessmen...... There are also taxes from the lord of the city. It sounds right, but the question is, where did all that money come from in the first place? It must have been in the hands of the commoners? The merchant's means of making money was to transfer what he didn't have in one place to another, and then he would earn much more than it costped, and the nobles, ha, as long as they had an army and a sword, they could collect taxes from the peasants for nothing, so they took away what was supposed to belong to the peasants and gave them to the temple, and then? Is it justice to enjoy the temple of this kind of offering in peace?"

"If he is not righteous, then why do they preach justice? What is their righteousness? Their doctrine is to help those in need, and now there are many poor people, and they have no enough to eat, but they are indifferent, and it is a sin for them not to save them when they die? Just this indifference is enough to make them die, right?"

For a moment, Carlos was left to nod or shake his head, but he didn't seem to know whether he should nod or shake his head...... Because the person asks questions that his mind cannot figure out.

Or, to give his subordinates enough time to think about this problem that might still plague humanity in this world for thousands of years, the telemancer slowly packed up all the loot before turning to the arch at the end of the empty field and speaking.

"Well, the Holy Warriors of the Lord of the Dawn, and the Lord of the Priesthood...... How long do you want to listen there?"

In everyone's sudden gaze, the space trembled, revealing an old man in a simple priest's robe, and behind him, two sets of fully armed armor that flashed with holy light.

"Sure enough, the wicked are cunning enough. ”

Under a pair of armor, there was an urn sneer: "But you already knew that now is the time of your death, right? You heretic, demon! No matter how you play with your forked tongue, you will surely die for our compatriots today......

His voice gradually raised his pitch, and suddenly hoarse, his sturdy body shook twice, and he almost fell headlong!

"I have said a long time ago that when you can't overwhelm others with your thoughts and words, you use force, which is indeed the easiest and most correct way, but before that, can you also use your brain?

Wait a minute –

Do you think your plot will succeed here? Fierce but stupid demon, the guidance of the morning sun is everywhere, and you will pay the price for your conspiracy and sins!

Can you use your brains to imagine that I had detonated the explosives in your temple at the right time, and attracted the right number of spectators, a suitable opponent, and a proper reason, and caused immeasurable damage to the reputation and substance of the Temple of Dawn. And this qiē is done when you don't know it......

So how likely do you think that after I have done this almost seamless thing, I have aroused your suspicion in the last key part, and made you have a plan?

The priest was stunned.

This possibility does seem to be very small.

But it did give birth.

No, no, it wasn't born, but someone deliberately guided it! The priest came to this conclusion almost instantly! Although he immediately began to wonder if this idea was correct, he still instinctively chose to retreat! Because the man in front of him was undoubtedly the most terrible and malicious opponent he had ever seen.

Don't worry, I'll let you go to your god, but if you're going to get him to avenge you, you're doomed to disappointment. rs!。
