Chapter 132: Choice (Part 2)
The snow has passed in mid-February, and the humidity in the air seems to mean the arrival of spring
In the early morning, with a faint mist, the sun had risen from the east. A mage in a gray robe, with two people, was crossing the mountain, stepping on the rotten leaves on the ground, making a rustling sound.
Under the hood, Fang Xin pursed his lips. The three of them were all people with strong physical strength, and it was not a problem to travel through these. Now, Fang Xin stopped and looked down at the foot of the mountain...
In the distance, the countryside under the hills is like squares. In less than a long time, the green buds in the fields break out of the ground, bringing hope for a good harvest.
The small pot, on the stand, the fire was burning, and dry food was placed inside.
Fang Xin took out a thick book, which is the sacred court record of the God of Light.
Fang Xin read silently, thinking about the power and rules of the sacred court and its soil.
In fact, even the most powerful and peak moment of the Church of Light always has places that cannot be reached by tentacles.
As a feudal continent, kings and nobles are never puppets that follow the control of the church. As a class that controls the world, they naturally desire and try to gain some degree of independence - even manipulate and control the Church of Light!
This dispute between theocracy and the monarchy was the end of the year. When the Church of Light was the most powerful, kings from all over the continent had to go to the Holy See for the orders, but this was a flash in the pan.
The feudal system itself determines the division or even confrontation of interests and positions, unless the great unification empire is implemented, which itself is a threat to the divine power, so this is an unsolvable problem.
As for the unity of politics and religion, this is just a joke. The end of the unity of politics and religion is only facing the responsibility and reaction force of the mortal world and the spiritual world at the same time. Therefore, for the Holy See, it may be the best system now - but even so, the Holy See still strives to clear the obstacles.
It is obvious in this book that although a war with the Church of the Sun God two hundred years ago lost most of its vitality, the Pope had worked hard to restore its dominance over the mainland for just a hundred years, which was to issue an order to attack the Kingdom of Recart, announcing that all the Holy Army who participated in the fight against heresy would not be bound by the national law, and all the sins they committed in the past and in the future would be forgiven for the church, and the debts they owed were exempted from interest.
The war lasted twenty-one years, and the war was very cruel. The prosperous cities turned into ruins in the battle with each other, while the rich countryside became deserted land after fighting, with at least half of the people burned to death, hanged or beheaded.
Even in some cities, because they cannot distinguish between the churchgods of the Light and heresy, the Pope conveyed the instructions: "Just kill them all and let God distinguish who is his people."
Finally, the king of Rekat Kingdom surrendered, and he was forced to kneel before the Pope's envoy with his upper body and let the thorns suck him like raindrops. However, the long war of twenty-one years, the Holy See won and lost, proclaimed the heavy price of launching such a war.
This is the last large-scale battle against heresy in the past two hundred years.
"...Look, today I stand above all peoples and nations, to unplug and break, to destroy and overthrow, and to build and establish..." This poem of God of Light is the foundation of the Holy Court, and the key is to let the reading party understand God and even smile.
A piece of wood burst out with a spark, interrupting Fang Xin's thinking, and the broth was ready.
Fang Xin took the wooden bowl and drank it, showing a thoughtful look. For a moment, he turned his eyes to the hills, where the wind blew through the dense jungle and shook the branches.
After retracting his gaze, Fang Xin finished drinking the broth without any haste, then ate the food, and finally said, "When it's time for now, they finally come."
Both of them were shocked, but the assassin Josieman had no expression and just continued to eat. While Hadak changed color slightly, he took a breath and continued to finish eating. After finishing, he asked, "Where are you now? How many people are there?"
"You should know that I inherited the power of wind and water. I just felt their information from the wind. As for how many people there are, it is not clear." Fang Xin said with reservations: "But we can go and have a look."
Speaking of this, he said with some regret: "I forgot a little bit, and I didn't buy a small crossbow, or a bow or arrow, otherwise it would be much easier now, and bow and arrow are the best choice in the current situation."
“Next time I go to the township, I will buy these through the church.”
"Yeah!" Fang Xin nodded, then stood up and left. A faint mist appeared on his body, so his figure became hazy.
"This is the hidden mist technique!" Hadak showed a complicated look.
The Hidden Mist Technique is a first-level magic. Of course, priests with the Fengheshui realm can also perform this technique. Fang Xin did not chant a spell just now. It is obvious that this is the embodiment of the Fengheshui realm, a kind of spell.
He can freely manipulate wind and water and has used first-level domain spells. It seems that this man is indeed a descendant of God - this is not something that ordinary magicians can do.
But after a moment, Hadak issued an order: "Josiman, set a trap, we will face our old enemy at this place."
"Yes, priest!" Josieman said seriously, and after a moment he disappeared into the woodland.
Fang Xin ran down, not only the fog always followed him, but also the combination of man and wind seemed to turn into a part of the wind and merge with the winds in nature.
This feeling is really indescribable. Without special strength, the body is indeed much lighter. Moreover, the wind bloodline that has been successfully cultivated on the body is slowly increasing, and it can almost walk with the wind elves.
In this world, this power belongs to God and can be passed on to descendants.
After a while, I had already rushed to the corner of a forest. At the foot of my foot, a stream flowed slowly, making a jingling sound of water flowing.
It seemed that it merged with the wind and became a part of nature. Fang Xin's eyes flashed through murderous intent and turned into a violent part of the wind, causing the wind to blow through the woods.
At this moment, a hundred meters away, among the group, a priest of light suddenly felt a sudden throbbing of his heart. This throbbing feeling immediately caused a wave of holy power to his body.
"Harmon, I just felt a very strange existence!" the pastor said softly.
"Yes, Lord Neil, this feeling is very similar to a druid." Another pastor said in contemplatively. As a pastor, one must not only have pious thoughts, but also have keen perceptions.
"Druid? This is possible, but not much. The object we are going to purify this time has the power of wind and water."
"Yes, it seems we are approaching him, Lord Neil, are you going to order the police?"
"Of course, but I believe our paladins already know."
Indeed, listening to the priest's words, the paladin had drawn his sword and saluted the gods and the priests, and the atmosphere of fighting immediately spread.
A very powerful combination. Although there are only twelve people, the paladin is above level 6, and the priest is above level 5!
It is unlikely that it will exceed Level 5, because above Level 6, you can serve as the bishop assistant in a small diocese or the presidency of a medium-sized church. Of course, it is not ruled out that the 6th level pastor will participate in this mission in order to become the presidency of the church as soon as possible.
And I, one is a level 2 mage/level 8 warrior, one is a level 2 priest, and the other is a level 6 assassin. The lineup sent by the opponent is already ten times the theoretical combat power.
Fang Xin sneered. Although the power of magic depends on level, it actually depends on the purification and control of the magician. The stronger the magician is, the more he can purify the magic power to a terrible level, so low-level magic will also exert incredible power.
The twelve people, connected from beginning to end, form a battle formation, slowly moves upwards, but the hills and woods are naturally complex and cannot be connected forever.
When a paladin on the left stepped over a stone, suddenly, almost at the same time, a human form suddenly appeared in the morning mist, and a mysterious spell sang gently on his lips, which almost turned into wind, unheard by people, and was extremely fast.
The paladin immediately reacted, his whole body shook, turned around and held the sword with a sharp momentum. The armor on his body and the long sword in his hand began to appear, a holy light - "Glory Weapon". This is the most practical skill of the paladin after reaching level 6 - which can sacred weapons and armor, and naturally has many mysterious and powerful functions.
Almost at the same time, other paladins immediately counterattacked, and once they approached, they would be attacking like lightning!
The nearest paladin had just appeared and the spell had been completed. Fang Xin's finger and a beam of black light rushed into the paladin's head. Suddenly, the holy light floated.
This is the terror technique!
This is a first-level magic that can extract dark energy and attack its spirit. It will be paralyzed and frightened on the other side. Although the time is short, it is enough.
Of course, it is not useful to anyone, but this is actually a comparison of mass - the purity of the negative energy extracted by Fang Xin naturally has different effects.
I saw the paladin stunned, and then I watched a black light flash by. It was a long sword with negative energy. Suddenly, a blood mist floated out!
Almost at the same time, two light purple lights emitted, one in front and one behind, but they all shot directly to Fang Xin at an unconcealable speed.
"Binding!"
Level 2 magic, name: bondage, or human immobilization technique, can make a human unable to move within half a minute.
Although Fang Xin hit the target, there was no sign of being bound at all. He suddenly penetrated into the forest, and the wind surrounded him at all times, causing him to quickly stay away.
Behind the back, the priest Neil looked ashen, and Harmon showed an incredible look.
This kind of battle is a standard low-level priest combat procedure for the Church of Light - using bondage to fix the enemy and causing the paladin to kill it.
In most scenarios, this set of tactics is very effective, but now the second constraints are all invalid, which makes the one-third magic that the two priests prepared today useless.
The paladin whose throat was cut open and blood splattered slammed on the ground. Pastor Harmon just stepped forward and looked at it and shook his head. This kind of injury is irresistible. The divine healing is not omnipotent. It basically only has the effect of simple healing of wounds, which cannot repair the precise nerves, and there is no so-called resurrection - that may be the power that only God's messenger has.
In the first battle, one person was lost and the situation was clear.
"Mr. Neil, what's going on?" Harmon turned around and asked. He was a fifth-level pastor. Although he was only one level lower than Neil, in the church, fifth-level and sixth-level are completely different. Sixth-level is already in a new class.
This is the first time he encountered and saw the unbound magic. Although there have been cases in history, they are all advanced battles and the enemies they face are completely different.
"Maybe it is the power of the wind, but there is still some difference between the wind realm and the free realm." As a sixth-level priest, Neil has the right to obtain some information about the intermediate priest, and he murmured.
Feng naturally has a side to get rid of the constraints, but after all, it is not a special free field. Now the constraints imposed by the sixth and fiveth level priests cannot work on the other side, which is very strange.
Thinking about this, Neil's face was gloomy and clear. The other party's weirdness was beyond his imagination. Last time, he only said that the other party used poisonous fog to sneak attack, but he did not mention the ability to immunize. Otherwise, let alone the dispatched personnel, even the magical skills prepared, would be completely different.
However, after a moment, he whispered: "O God, may your will be fulfilled, as if it were in heaven."
