Just when Wan Ling'er was concentrating on researching some products to deal with corpse demons every day, preparing to sharpen her knives to pigs and sheep, the atmosphere of war in Crescent City was getting stronger and stronger, and the number of soldiers patrolling the city wall was also increasing, and the materials on the city wall were piled up.

On the ninth day of Zhao Yuan's arrival in Crescent City, Chen Dao received a letter, an open letter, to the effect that a boy who had reached the age of fifteen was going to report on the training camp, and the money was signed with the seals of the military and the temple.

When Chen Dao received this letter, he was immediately ecstatic, and immediately took out all the magic cores on his body, bought a large amount of wine and food, and prepared to celebrate.

In the evening, a sumptuous meal was prepared, just waiting for Chen Mang to come back and start the meal.

Chen Mang is a person with a great sense of time, these days, Chen Mang goes out at dawn every day and comes back on time for dinner.

In Zhao Yuan's eyes, Chen Mang's whereabouts are a little mysterious, except for occasionally exchanging fighting techniques with Zhao Yuan, most of the time he is busy, but he doesn't know what Lu Dao is busy with.

Zhao Yuan knocked on the side many times and asked Chen Mang what he was busy with, but Chen Mang was basically silent.

In fact, it was Chen Dao, and he was not sure about Chen Mang's whereabouts, he just knew that Chen Mang was a mercenary.

In the Demon Core Continent, mercenaries are a very complex industry, and their duty is to protect the safety of some materials and merchants. Compared with the mercenaries of the Great Qin Empire, the mercenary profession of the Demon Core Continent is even more dangerous, because their biggest enemy is not the Green Forest Han who occupies the mountain as the king, but the corpse demon.

When it was time to eat, Chen Mang went home on time as always, and sat down in his place quietly.

Seeing Chen Mang go home, the sixth and ninth aunts immediately brought some dishes warm in the pot to the table.

It is worth mentioning here that only after living in Chen Mang's house, the sixth and ninth aunts took over the kitchen, and they seem to have received professional training, and the meals they cook are extremely delicious, which can be said to be full of color, flavor and flavor, so that everyone can feast on it, even the taciturn Chen Mang will praise a few words.

"Something happened today?" Chen Mang sat down, looked at the table full of sumptuous meals, and couldn't help but ask.

"Brother, look!" Chen Dao excitedly handed the letterhead to Chen Mang.

"No way!"

Chen Mang just glanced at the letter, and suddenly became furious, tearing the letter to shreds in one fell swoop.

"For what?" Chen Dao didn't expect Chen Mang to suddenly get angry, he was a little caught off guard, and looked at his brother with a surprised expression.

"No, it just doesn't. Chen Mang paused word by word, and between his tones, he was categorical, and there was no room for negotiation.

"I don't care. I'm going!" Chen Dao looked aggrieved, tears rolling in his eyes.

"No, unless I, Chen Mang, is dead, otherwise, don't think about it in your life!"

Chen Mang stood up suddenly, brushed his sleeves away, and returned to his room.

Chen Dao's lips trembled, and tears flowed silently. Chen Mang shattered his dreams.

The atmosphere was oppressive and suffocating.

Everyone looked at each other, no one thought that Chen Mang would suddenly get angry, you must know that being a soldier is the supreme honor in Crescent City.

"Everyone eats, eats. ”

"Eat. Seeing that Chen Dao was heartbroken, Wan Ling'er, who was usually alone, served Chen Dao with vegetables for the first time.

It was a happy celebration banquet, but the atmosphere was ruined by Chen Mang, and Chen Dao, who was originally so excited, was unable to swallow in the face of the feast, but he kept sobbing, and everyone's comfort was useless.

"Chen Dao, you eat something first, don't go hungry, I advise your brother to go. ”

"Hmm. Chen Dao's eyes showed a look of hope.

Zhao Yuan got up and went to the room.

In the room, Chen Mang sat on the ground with an angry face, sulking.

"Chen Mang, Chen Dao has always wanted to be a respected warrior, this time, this is his only chance, I think ......" Zhao Yuan sat in front of Chen Mang.

"No!" Chen Mang was as concise and powerful as ever.

"Can you tell us why?"

"There is no reason. Chen Mang shook his head.

"Is it the Xuantian Temple?" Zhao Yuan's deep eyes stared at Chen Mang, as if he wanted to see through Chen Mang's internal organs.

"Who the hell are you?" Chen Mang stood up suddenly, first looked at Zhao Yuan with a shocked expression, and then, the color of shock turned into a boundless killing machine, and the pervasive killing machine made Chen Mang's whole person look like a beast that could break out and hurt people at any time.

"Don't worry, I'm not your enemy, let's talk slowly, besides, you can't kill me. Zhao Yuan said lightly.

"How do you know the Dao?" Chen Mang sat down slowly, a pair of leopards stared at Zhao Yuan viciously, and the killing intent was not gone.

"Actually, I don't know anything. Zhao Yuan smiled bitterly.

Chen Mang glanced at Zhao Yuan, snorted coldly, lowered his head, and was silent.

"What the hell is going on in the Xuantian Temple? Zhao Yuan saw that Chen Mang didn't speak, so he had to ask questions.

"Don't ask me, I'm not going to say anything. ”

Chen Mang closed his eyes slightly, ignored Zhao Yuan anymore, and actually took care of his own cultivation.

Although Zhao Yuan has only been in contact with Chen Mang for a few days, he is deeply familiar with this taciturn man, a person like Chen Mang, if he doesn't want to say it, he will never say it, even if it is a knife on his neck, he will never frown.

In the face of Chen Mang's silence, Zhao Yuan had no better way, however, he had basically determined that the main reason why Chen Mang did not let Chen Dao join the army was due to his dissatisfaction with the Xuantian Temple.

Although the Xuantian Temple is not directly involved in the management of the human army, in fact, the Xuantian Divine Envoy sent by the temple influences the decision-making of the head of the army.

Whether it is Crescent City or other cities inhabited by humans, the Xuantian Temple has absolute influence.

It can be said that the Xuantian God Magister is the only belief of human beings, and is respected as the only god by human beings, and the degree of human devotion to it is extremely terrifying.

In a city inhabited by humans, the temple sect is the supreme leader of the city, even the supreme head of the army, and does not dare to question the rights of the temple sect.

In these days, Zhao Yuan bought a large number of books on the Demon Core Continent, and many of them mentioned infidels, and most of those heretics were burned to death after being tortured, and there were countless cases of this kind ......

......

Synthesizing a large amount of information, Zhao Yuan realized that in the human society of the Demon Core Continent, not all people were loyal believers of the Xuantian Temple, and in secret, there was still a force against the temple.

And the temple, the force of opposition is extremely cruel and bloody, outrageous, and it is often stoned to death in public, Ling Chi to death, and among them, the most is burned alive.

The temple's method of dealing with infidels is extremely absurd and barbaric, as long as it is the object of suspicion, it is immediately named "wizard", and in the Demon Core Continent, the wizard is regarded as ominous, as long as he is judged by the temple to be a wizard, it is immediately equivalent to being sentenced to death, because the wizard is not only scolded by the public, but also hunted down by the masters sent by the temple.

The temple has a mysterious organization known as the "Temple Inquisition".

The members of the temple inquisition are all masters, not only with high status, but also with the power of life and death, as long as they are recognized as wizards, they can be killed directly.

When Zhao Yuan learned about the organization of the Dao Dao Temple Inquisition, he immediately realized that the human beings of the Demon Core Continent were not as united as they appeared......
