Chapter 9: True Prophets
If what this witch said is true, then her own power has something to do with death?
Is it double the mental power that I brought after crossing over?
Lawrence quickly felt like that.
What seems like the most plausible explanation doesn't bring much credibility.
Lawrence looked at the old witch, and the only thing he knew for sure was that he was indeed a wizard.
Although the determination of this matter makes people feel a lot more at ease, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't feel useful.
Most of the current strength does not come from witchcraft.
The ability to arrest the three old witches and answer the questions obediently does not rely on witchcraft, but on the power of the masses.
Lawrence pondered the matter, and soon had a vague direction.
"What did the resurrected man say afterward?"
The story should not be over yet, and Lawrence wants to know what else the man who was resurrected by the wizard said.
Munilili laughed, her face and mouth, as ugly as a monster, contorted into a disgusting and horrible appearance, and even the air smelled like vomiting.
Lawrence's face was calm, and that calm look made Munilili quickly calm down.
"Don't be angry, lad." "We sisters have always liked to answer young people's questions," said Munilili, smiling. ”
Another old witch next to him also sensed Lawrence's cold killing intent.
"The Resurrected Man later became the founder of the Church of Light, claiming to be a servant of the God of Light, whose body lasted only twenty years before he died, and was later divided into five relics. ”
"Later, the bishop of the Church of the Holy Light took his arm and went out and founded the Church of Dawn."
Lawrence didn't expect Holy Light and Dawn to be a family, but he also found a point of contact.
"What does the afterlife have to do with the church in this world?"
The three witches all looked at Lawrence strangely, "It's okay. ”
"To be dead is to be dead."
"No one can reverse the law of life, but there are many ways to prolong our lives."
The Three Witches spoke to Lawrence incessantly.
"Little one, do you want to live as long as we do?"
"After dying once, you will definitely know more about the value of eternal life."
"Come on, do you like pretty women? We can be like that, too. ”
Lawrence soon found himself able to understand what the three witches were saying without the need for a Khallan translation.
The three witches were using their psychic powers to talk directly to them, and neither Kharan nor Loshanda nor the others noticed this anomaly.
Lawrence still sat steadily on the throne, and asked the three witches in the distance, "My men have found a large number of bones of adults and children in the swamp, which you eat?" ”
Sensing the danger, Munirili quickly said, "No. ”
"We don't eat children, and children don't taste good at all."
"It's unpalatable, worse than rats."
The three witches were quick to deny.
Lawrence determined that the three witches had broken through the language barrier in a very short period of time, establishing a brain connection in an unbelievable way.
Seeing their horrified looks, Lawrence was sure that not only did he understand their language, but they were also aware of what was going on in his mind.
"Damn it!" Munilili screamed loudly.
Lawrence said calmly, "Kill them." ”
The calm words were no match for the witch's screams, but after Lawrence's words fell, five men quickly burst in outside the door.
Fryce, Duland, Gliss, Nikru, Akda.
In addition to the five leaders, there was a whimpering and roaring black dog Gally, as well as more than two dozen elite soldiers.
Raltris's body quickly swelled and twisted, transforming into an ugly, bloated spider with five women's legs and a dozen terrifying baby heads from the neck down.
Lawrence stood up, "Do it, kill them all!" ”
Raltrith rushed to the door, trying to escape with her demonic body.
However, she didn't have the confidence to break through the blockade of hundreds of barbarians at the beginning, where did she get the confidence to run out from here at this time?
A red-haired woman with a heavy sword walked in at the door, and Olauaya jumped up directly, and a violent slash slammed down on the terrifying monster more than four meters high.
Grace and the others were not idle, they were not afraid of this terrifying creature that would definitely turn around and run away when they saw it, and directly smashed her leg with a stick.
The seemingly terrifying giant spider monster only stood for more than ten seconds before it was shattered to the ground by a furious attack.
Munirili's body also began to change, transforming into a harpy with a human head.
"I curse you! You will live forever in fear and torment!! ”
The next moment, Saril and Deren quickly joined the battle with axes.
"I don't believe in evil." Lawrence's face was calm and unfazed.
"I have my own beliefs." Lawrence clenched his fists and put them in his heart, "This is the place of God's grace, and it is you who die in fear and torment!" ”
Losanda unleashed a flame at the misty witch, and the witch's body that wanted to summon the mist was quickly ignited.
Khalan and Kassandra also stabbed Munirili in the body with spears.
The three witches were quickly beaten to pieces, and the whole hall was filled with a disgusting stench.
Some of the soldiers threw up directly, and their bodies were in extreme pain.
Lawrence ordered, "Open the window." ”
Candace quickly opened the window, letting the disgusting smell waft out.
Jade reminded at this time: "Their corpses will give birth to corpse vines, these corpse vines will feed on corpses, will continue to look for rotting corpses in the land to devour, as long as these corpse vines are placed in the distant land, those hard stone wastelands will be broken by the corpse vines that drill holes in the land." ”
Lawrence looked at the corpse on the ground and nodded, "Yes, in the future, our people will be cremated and buried in water, and there is no need to bury the corpse in the ground." ”
Although Jade is not good at fighting, she knows a lot and has a flexible brain.
"These stenches are so strong in a dark environment, and as long as you light a candle and illuminate it with a holy light orb, or let the sunlight in, the smell will be much lessened."
Jade quickly came up with a solution to the problem.
Under the command of Jadeite, the originally smelly smell was indeed a lot lighter.
Lawrence and the others evacuated, and the corpses of the three witches were transported to the wilderness of the South, where they were buried in a dirt pit waiting to hatch the ghoul vines.
Only in the body of the evil sorcerer who eats people will this kind of ghou-eating vine grow.
The crow wizard had this thing in his body before, and at that time Kharan thought it was useless and burned to death.
Now Emerald believes that the ghoul vine can be used to plough the land and loosen the soil, which is a use that Keharan could not have imagined before, but it is indeed effective.
The ghoul vine only eats corpses, does not eat plants, and does not attack living creatures, its offensive mode is to look for food in the land, and normal people will not hide in the soil without anything, let alone emit the rancid smell that attracts the ghoul vine.
Crows, oaks, ghoul vines, wolves.
Lawrence suddenly found himself in a collection of all the accessories of the Oak Sage.
Both Sariel and Deren looked at Lawrence as he took a shower with concern.
"Lawrence, are you alright?" Sariel still thinks Lawrence is an ordinary person.
Delenn also felt that Lawrence should be cursed, "Is your curse serious?" ”
Lawrence smiled, "I resisted the curse, and the reason those witches' curses didn't work for me should be that there were enough people around me. ”
Saril breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine. ”
The jade next to Deren was a little puzzled, "Master, do you mean that someone has counteracted the curse for you?" ”
Lawrence sat down and said seriously: "Everyone is like a candle, and walking through a life is like burning a life." ”
"We always think that everyone is as humble as a dim candlelight, but in fact everyone's whole life is releasing light, and these releases, the released light will gather and exist forever in a way that we cannot understand."
"When we all believe in something, the light comes together and is projected again onto our beliefs from another world, and a posthumous concept is established that we all follow."
"For example, when everyone thinks that death is an honor, and faces it with faith and courage, that strength is gained."
Lawrence believed that the soul was the same whether it was a wizard or a mortal, and the difference was only the control of energy.
The power of wizards comes from this world itself, but it does not mean that there is no other power in this world.
There is even a third one, such as technology.
Technology, witchcraft that is more difficult to understand than technology, and high-latitude consciousness power that is more difficult to understand and more invisible than witchcraft.
Sariel smiled and said, "Lawrence, you're lying again, always saying things I don't understand. ”
"Anyway, it's okay, let's eat." Lawrence also felt that there were some things that he couldn't understand when he said them, and he couldn't apply them when he did.
He is only a little more mentally powerful, and he will not be attacked by simple witchcraft and polluting energy.
Both churches are strengthening their power and territory.
The reason why they got rid of the rest of the wizards was probably because they felt that the wizards were the signal catchers who received power, and that the wizards were distracting the signals of the high-latitude world to this side.
This understanding is very much in line with the logic of this era.
Lawrence didn't believe that he was a wizard from the beginning, and he was the kind of ambivalence that believed in science and didn't believe in evil at the beginning, but because of the fact that time travel and the existence of witches, he felt that mysterious forces did exist.
Coupled with the first-hand experience of the legends and deeds of the barbarians, especially after the real case of Beoff's dying madness, I found a different way of looking at the problem.
If there are no gods but there are miracles, there are all kinds of mysterious powers, and the gap between mortals and transcendents is not irreparable, then everyone is a god.
A single person is not God, God is a group concept.
To use a vague metaphor, the value created by a person may be hundreds of dollars at the time of the world, but after being projected into another dimension, it is preserved in a way that is close to zero consumption, and it can be active for 10,000 years at this time.
It is no longer embodied in the form of a amount of money, but is formed as an energy after ascending the dimension.
Actions that conform to this rule will be supported by this power.
At this stage, there are two rules for the Kingdom of Stars.
First, hard work brings rewards and favor.
The second is that after death, the brave will rise into the sky and become a star fighter in the palace of stars.
These two rules ...... Lawrence couldn't even take advantage of it.
Now I am very industrious, and the setting of being able to eat enough and wear warm clothes and support my family has been perfectly realized.
Can hard work live a long life? You don't believe this!
If you don't believe in something, there's no way around it.
If they don't believe that something can happen to them, then there is no such rule.
The rule of fighting to the death for honor also did not apply to Lawrence, Lawrence ...... I'm afraid of death.
At present, he is a wizard, he is not a wizard, and the most accurate description is a prophet.
Not a false prophet, a true prophet!
Lawrence lies between Sariel and Sophia at night, thinking about things alone.
"I feel that it is mainly due to me, because I believe in the value of everyone, and subconsciously feel that everyone is valuable, not a bunch of numbers, one by one."
"It is precisely because of this that I believe that every seemingly humble mortal can bloom with a light close to eternity."
"Instead, it's the wizards and aristocratic brutes of the Church, who never take other people's lives seriously."
"They themselves don't believe in the power of the group, so naturally they can't get the blessing of the power of the group."
But maybe there are a lot of believers in the lower and middle classes of the church...... It seems that magic and witchcraft should exist at the same time, and the magic of this world is the power of faith, and everyone comes together for a common goal! ”
"The nuns and saints of the Star Church can also be cultivated on a large scale, and if there are really nuns who can use divine magic in the future, it means that I am right!" (End of chapter)
