Chapter 364 [Self-deceiver]

Chen Daolin lay quietly there, his original injuries healed. It was obvious that the pure light-type holy power was not only displayed on Montoya and Ade.

Looking at the surrounding woods that had been raged to the point of being raging, Ad sighed and whispered to remind Montoya: "Sir, do you think we should leave here quickly?"

"Let's go? How do you go!" Montoya frowned, looked at Chen Daolin who was unconscious, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, how do you know if you can move this way now? What if we move the adult without authorization and cause him to suffer some internal injuries?!"

Ad opened his mouth and was about to say something, Montoya said in a deep voice: "Go and see the dragon... stare at it, if there is any abnormal movement..."

"That dragon must be fine." Ade suddenly shook his whole body. He remembered the scene where Chen Daolin crushed and abused the dragon so hard, and immediately shook his head and said, "Master just now, you and I have seen it."

"Where did you come from so much nonsense?" Montoya suddenly glared at Ade fiercely. The first time the Holy Knight's eyes showed real anger, and he warned in a deep voice: "Ade! This time you leave the church with the lord, you complained all the way! I don't know where you came from so much nonsense! If you ask you to do something, you will be the one on the left and the other on the right and the other on the right and the other on the right! Ade, I have to endure all the way you didn't say anything! But today, I have to say something to you! Listen to you, I will only warn you once! I will never say it again. If you don't listen, then I will not talk nonsense to you again in the future. I will directly break your legs and send someone back to the imperial capital to see His Majesty the Pope!"

Ade shrank his neck.

Montoya had already stared at the young pastor and said coldly: "I know that you are the best among the younger generation in the church, you can be both literary and military. You were also accepted as a disciple by His Majesty the Pope very early. In the temple, even those archbishops are very polite to you. His Majesty the Pope also had a lot of expectations for disciples like you. This time, His Majesty the Pope sent you to follow Lord Darling and let you listen to him all the way.

Instruct to do things. Although you seem to be hilarious, you are actually arrogant. Along the way, you are dissatisfied with Darling's instructions to do things. You think you are the pride of heaven in the church, and even those archbishops are polite to you. He Darlingchen is just an exiled magician, but he shouts and drinks to you like a slave. You can't swallow this, so you usually have strange words - how can I not know these!"

Ade couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when he was stared at by the Saint Knight with his sword-like eyes.

Montoya continued slowly, "I don't know if His Majesty's special orders to you before he left, but I only know that His Majesty's order is to let us obey the orders of Lord Darling along the way. Any orders he has to be carried out without any fault. Even if he makes us do anything difficult, he must do it! His orders are equivalent to the will of the Pope! I think, when His Majesty's words to us, you are not asleep!"

Ade's face turned a little red, his lips opened, but he didn't know what to say.

"Okay, I think you should understand what I mean! I just hope you can do things in the future! Don't always think about your airs in the church! In the temple, those people flatter you or be polite to you. But now that you have come out to do things, you must act like doing things. His Majesty the Pope solemnly entrusted this matter to us to do it is trust in you and me. This matter is even more related to the important responsibility of the church. If you continue to be so trolling..."

Speaking of this, Montoya's tone became sarcastic: "Even if I care about my friendship with my fellow temple colleagues, if you break your Majesty's instructions and your heavy responsibilities, I will still be willing to punish you! At that time, you will be the sinner of the Temple. Even if I kill you, I believe Your Majesty will not blame me for any of this!"

"I..." Ade's face turned red, as if he wanted to defend himself, but Montoya shook his head: "I am just a warrior. If I have a skill that is more verbal than you. So you don't have to refute and distinguish with me. Don't think I don't know... The master was targeted by the dragon just now, and I risked my life to stop him... What were you doing at that time? Humph! Don't say that you were pressed by a tree trunk and couldn't move! If the disciple of His Majesty the Holy Majesty is to wipe his neck directly, so as to avoid embarrassing the temple! His Majesty's order is to protect him at all costs! Your actions just now are considered to be seriously contrary to His Majesty's will!"

"I..." Ad finally couldn't help saying: "Mr. Montoya, I'm not afraid of death! If it's really necessary, I will never be stingy with my life!"

"What does it mean when necessary?" Montoya's face turned pale and said coldly: "Your Majesty's words are to protect the life of Lord Darling at any cost! At that time, isn't it considered 'necessary'? I believe you are not greedy for life and death, but that you are completely broken! You don't like this mission, and you look down on Darling even more. You think he is a pagan, your disciple of His Majesty, and the young generation of the noble temple focuses on cultivating talents. Why should you be drunk by Darling Chen along the way? Why should you fight for this Darling Chen? That's what you think, thinking I don't know!!"

Montoya suddenly stretched out his big hand, grabbed the collar of Ade's clothes, and said fiercely: "Listen! What does 'necessary' mean? This is not your decision! Do you think your wisdom is more profound than His Majesty the Pope! Since His Majesty said that he would protect him at any cost, he should execute it without hesitation! Your little cleverness and thoughts, if you don't put it away as soon as possible, then you'd better get out now! Go back to the capital! Go back to His Majesty the Pope to apologize! But I promise, if you run back like this, the Pope will immediately throw you into the courtroom and punish you severely!"

Ade was grabbed by the Holy Knight and breathed hard. After a while, he was really scared because he saw a trace of real murderous aura in the eyes of the Holy Knight!!

Montoya had already narrowed his eyes: "This time I will spare you first! I will give you the chance to choose. Now you can get out of here immediately! But if you choose to stay and stay by Lord Darling Chen's side! Then there is another time when you encounter danger. You dare to pretend to be stupid and hide aside... Then as long as I don't die, I will regard this behavior as a betrayal of the temple, and I will definitely kill you and clear the portal with my own hands! I'd better believe what I said, and I will do it!"

After saying that, Montoya let go and threw Ade heavily on the ground. He shouted, "Get over and see the dragon now!! There is another half of nonsense, I will break your legs!"

...

Ade ran away and was warned by Montoya. At least now, Ade had restrained all his thoughts and complaints in his heart and ran to check the dragon obediently.

As for Montoya, Chen Daolin was unconscious because of Chen Daolin's coma. Montoya was not sure if Chen Daolin was seriously injured because of what happened just now, or had sequelae after the battle.

He did not dare to move Chen Daolin without authorization, so he had to let him lie on the ground, and then ran to the surrounding ruins, retrieved an unbreakable water bag, pulled off a piece of his clothes, and moistened it with water. He carefully wiped Chen Daolin's forehead.

He touched Chen Daolin's forehead became a little hot, and he pried open Chen Daolin's mouth and fed him some water.

Although Montoya was a little worried, Chen Daolin's breathing was steady and his pulse was still normal, so he was not too anxious for a while.

At this moment, I suddenly heard Ade's ghost shouts coming from afar.

"What's the noise again!"

Montoya turned his head in annoyance and looked at it. However, he widened his eyes in surprise!

The giant dragon that was originally lying in the distance suddenly transformed into a ball of light, and then in the ball of light, its huge body quickly shrank!

Within a few breaths, it had shrunk to the size of a normal person, and then gradually turned into a human form in the light.

Ade had already rolled and crawled to the side, staring at all the changes. After the light disappeared, he saw that the dragon had disappeared. There was only the boy named Mung Bean Cake on the ground, lying naked there, her eyes closed and unconscious. The only difference was that there was a large piece of blood and blood between her ribs and waist and abdomen.

Montoya had already run over quickly and pulled Ade up. Then the two of them stared at the boy on the ground for a while, and confirmed that there was no new change. Montoya walked over and checked the boy's body. After a moment, he turned his head and said to Ade: "He... has he regained his human form?"

"I..." Ade was so amused and thought about it carefully: "Sir, I'm still a little confused now... He just transformed into a giant dragon. Could it be... a transformation technique?"

"The Transformation should be right." Montoya looked gloomy: "The key question is, what exactly is he? Is he a human? Is he a dragon? Or... he was originally a dragon clan, and he usually became a human walking in our world?"

Ade thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out, and a complicated expression appeared on his face: "No matter what, this guy is too dangerous... If it weren't... Maybe we would be all finished! God knows if he would still be crazy about killing people after waking up again. I think it's better to take advantage of the moment..."

As he said that, Ade raised his palm and made a throat-cutting gesture.

Montoya frowned. He hesitated for a moment, but shook his head firmly: "No! He is a master of the holy level. No matter what, he has no hostility towards us before. As for the past...it may be understood as losing his nature after transformation. Moreover, his origin is too complicated. He rashly kills people and has great hatred, and there are endless troubles."

The last sentence is what Montoya wants to say: "No matter what, it's not your turn to decide on such an important thing! Let's wait until Lord Darling wakes up before making a decision."

The Holy Knight still didn't forget to warn Ade again: "You'd better remember it too! Since you've come out, your identity is Lord Darling's subordinates! Don't think about your identity in the temple anymore! Since you follow Lord Darling, everything will be decided in the future. You just need to obey the execution! Do you understand!"

Ade's face looked a little depressed, but he just snorted and nodded.

...

The mung bean cake was quickly carried over and placed beside Chen Daolin, and the two of them were lying side by side.

Montoya also cleaned the wounds of mung bean cake. But I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but he didn’t ask Ade to use treatment to treat the wounds of mung bean cake.

The two of them started to work together and collected some supplies from the ruins of the surrounding woods. Ade ran far away and led the horses left in the distance when the three of them came to attack.

There is food and water on horses, and some simple medicines.

Montoya set up a bonfire, cooked a pot of water, poured a few pieces of jerky in it. After cooking a pot of broth, he personally fed Chen Daolin a few mouthfuls before filling his stomach with Ade.

I just rested in place until the sky gradually became brighter.

Perhaps because of last night's warning, the atmosphere between Montoya and Ade was a little nervous and cold. Montoya had a straight face, and Ade just embarrassedly didn't dare to talk more.

However, the young pastor knew that he had made a mistake, and became more diligent and took the initiative to go back to feed the horses and pick up firewood.

After resting for a night, Montoya's face gradually relaxed a little, and Ade also breathed a little relieved.

After all, although he was a little bit stingy, he at least knew the importance. His Majesty the Pope solemnly entrusted himself with such a task. If he was really driven back... His Majesty would not care about the relationship between master and disciple, and would definitely throw himself into the courtroom and give him a hard lesson! Moreover, if he was driven back in such a shame, then His Majesty the Pope would be extremely disappointed with him and he would be in the temple in the future. He would never expect any future.

For the sake of the present, it is better to ease the relationship with Montoya...Ad murmured in his heart.

Seeing the sky getting brighter, Montoya saw that Chen Daolin had no abnormal changes for so long, but his breathing became more and more steady, his heart relaxed slightly, and his face looked a little better.

Ade saw the opportunity and slowly approached, quietly observing Montoya's expression. Then he whispered and tentatively: "That... sir, you said, last night, he... uh, I mean Darling, he actually put on that legendary set of... what's going on?" He paused for a moment. Ade's expression looked a little mysterious: "This quiver moon Five Light Armor is something in the legend. But everything about 'that'! When the man wearing this artifact was in the north, he saw countless pairs of eyes. Look... what does this lord Darling have to do with the Tulip Family?"

Montoya snorted. In fact, this night, the Holy Knight was also thinking about this - how can people not think about this kind of thing? After that night, Montoya almost made his head hurt.

After hearing Ade's words, Montoya showed a hint of unhappiness on his face and said coldly: "What are you talking about? Does this Faulting Moon Five Light Armor have to have something to do with the Tulip Family? Does it have something to do with that Du Wei?"

"Well?"

"Hmph! This Five Light Armor in the Moon - Du Wei is not its first owner! Du Wei suddenly had such a thing, and no one knew where he got it! After Du Wei, this artifact was not left in the Tulip Family at all! Look, these generations of Tulip Dukes have never seen them take out this artifact! I remember that the second generation of Tulip Dukes and the third generation of Dukes have both gone on a war, and once had a small friction with orcs on the border, and another was a rebellion between two tribes in the northwest grassland. But several generations of Tulip Dukes have never seen them pass through this artifact again! It can be imagined that... this thing was not left in the Tulip Family!"

"What you said makes sense." Ade nodded: "If this artifact was left by Du Wei in the Tulip Family, it would not appear on Darling Chen... Even if he had any friendship with the Tulip Family, the Tulip Family would not have taken out such a artifact to people casually, and it would never be possible to borrow it. Who in this world would lend it to people casually?"

"I think we, Lord Darling, have nothing to do with the Tulips!" Montoya suddenly turned the railway line: "Maybe... he is also a... chosen person!"

"Oh?!" Ade's eyes suddenly lit up: "What do you think so? Ah, I mean, you think so too?!"

The young priest looked at Montoya's expression as if guilty, hesitated for a moment before whispering: "But... the words of the chosen one have always been taboo in the temple."

"Hmph, since it is a fact, what are the taboos? If you blindfold your eyes, will the facts not exist?" Montoya sneered openly and said slowly: "Our temple has been suppressed by the Tulips and the royal family for more than a hundred years. We always have a conservative and cowardly mind, which is why we have this! We don't even have the courage to face the facts. How can we achieve great things by blindly escaping!"

"Haha!" Ade suddenly smiled and looked at Montoya, with a sincere tone: "Mr. Montoya! I... say something offended you. I always feel that you are just as stubborn as other people from the Holy Knights, but what you said just now is so to my heart!"

...

The so-called "selected man" is actually the saying that has only been spread in the Roland Empire in the past century.

The term "nature's choice" mainly comes from: the first Duke of Tulip, the legendary hero of the Empire, Du Wei.

This first-generation Tulip Duke has performed countless legendary deeds in his life, leaving behind one great achievement after another in the Roland Empire! His personal strength has been even more mythical to the point of worship.

However, the greater Du Wei is, the more he appears, the more embarrassing the status of the Temple of Light.

Why?

Because Du Wei, this empire hero, turned the tide at the critical moment when humans were invaded by alien races, led humans to reorganize their rivers and mountains, and finally achieved great victory. He revived the Roland Empire and became a legendary figure of a generation.

Such people naturally have to be written in history books.

Especially his deeds of leading humans to resist orc elves and other alien invasions, can be said to be a hero who saved the human race!

But... such a great deed has nothing to do with the Temple of Light!

This is the most deadly place.

What is the Temple of Light? It is the only legal religion of mankind, the national religion of the Roland Empire! It is the Goddess of Light, the only god legally recognized, and the spokesperson of the human world!

So according to the legal system, when humans encounter invasion of alien races, the heroes who save humans at the critical moment of life and death should be, and they can only be heroes sent by the Goddess of Light!

This is legal and this is reasonable!

The entire human race has always worshipped the Goddess of Light and regarded the Temple of Light as its only faith. But at the critical moment of the greatest crisis, it was a pagan who led humanity to resist danger and to victory! It was impossible to have a relationship with the Temple of Light! How speechless is this the temple?!

If a hero who appears to save humanity according to the "normal" trajectory, he should be the outstanding talent chosen by the goddess. He will come to the world with the blessings and heavy responsibilities given by the goddess, save all people from water and fire, and then promote the goddess's glory light - this is a reasonable script.

In this way, the temple can be widely publicized afterwards that this legendary hero who saved mankind is the destiny of the "goddess selected"!

But this Du Wei...is a pagan.

Uh... it cannot be said to be a complete pagan. The first Duke of Tulip had served as the Archbishop of the diocese in his own territory, but this was just a title. Everyone knows that this was just a political cooperation exchange.

And this Tulip Duke never concealed his disdain and hostility towards the Temple of Light, both privately and in public!

Even many official records are recorded in black and white. This legendary hero of the Empire has many extremely disrespectful words to the Goddess of Light. He called the Pope and other clergymen in the Temple of Light "charlatan liars". He even participated in the competition in the first martial arts competition. In the competition field, in full view of the public, he personally killed a knight commander of the Sacred Knights, and in this way he openly issued an unconcealed provocation to the Pope who was present to watch the battle!
