"Saint Aurelius, you practice the devil's method and your sins are serious. On behalf of everyone in the village, I will judge you. After collective discussion and research, I finally decided to burn you at the stake."
An old man holding a cane looked at the man on the cross and said in a cold tone.
"Do you agree with this decision?"
The man on the cross had blond hair, blue eyes, long hair, and a thin face. He laughed in a mocking tone and said: "Hahaha, what is the devil's method? This is just because you people are afraid of extraordinary abilities... from the sun path.
Extraordinary abilities are all righteous and dazzling. You have seen this with your own eyes. How could it be the method of the devil?"
"Mortals are afraid of the power of gods, so they hold gods up high in an attempt to gain protection!"
"And today the power of light and justice is called the law of the devil?"
"This is the greatest irony!!"
The old man holding the staff had a gloomy face, looked at the man, and said in a cold voice: "The path to the sun has been lost for a long time. Practitioners will become madmen and burn themselves in the flames to purify everything. The extraordinary people of the path to the sun have brought disaster to the village. Becoming the sun
The extraordinary people on the path are all heretics and potential lunatics. Saint Aurelius, as a missionary, you should know this best, right?"
"Why become an Extraordinary of the Sun Path?"
Hearing this, the man named Saint Aurelius chuckled and said, "Have you ever heard of the Holy Church?"
"The being of the Holy Church has merged the Sun Path and the Light Path, called the Priesthood Path. All extraordinary people on the Sun Path can enter the Priesthood Path and become Extraordinaries on the Priesthood Path by converting pathways.
He will no longer go crazy and mutate and become a lunatic."
"Heresy!"
"This is unheard of. How can such a thing happen in the world?"
"You are crazy, you are completely crazy!!"
"Someone, set fire, set fire, burn him to death!!"
The old man holding the stick became furious, stretched out his skinny fingers, and shouted sternly.
Following his order, the surrounding villagers threw their torches into the firewood pile. In an instant, the flames spread and turned into a raging fire, constantly burning the body of Saint Aurelius. He struggled desperately and shouted:
Unintelligible language...
Listening to his father's painful cry, the boy seemed to understand something, a line of clear tears left on his face, and his struggling movements gradually stopped.
Perhaps, as a young man, he already knew what happened.
The mother looked away, her face already filled with tears, and she couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
Augustine among the crowd stood aside, looking at this scene with an indifferent expression, silent.
This is a painful memory that belongs to him, and it is also the part that he least wants to remember.
His father, Saint Aurelius, became a sinner in the village because of taking the potion of the Sun Path, and was burned alive under the witness of the villagers.
And he, the son of a sinner, spent a painful childhood under strange and indifferent eyes.
That kind of despair, that kind of pain, he still can't forget it.
His full name is Augustine Aurelius.
It wasn't until he grew up, left the village, crossed the sea, and came to the Salom Empire that he realized that everything his father said was true.
It is true that he is not going crazy, there is indeed an extraordinary path to the priesthood, and he was wrongly accused.
However, the truth no longer makes sense.
Because things have already happened and cannot be changed.
Justice will only be late, but it will never be absent.
However, delayed justice is no longer justice.
He joined the Holy Church, became a believer, and gradually gained his current strength and status. However, decades later, he never went back to that small village, nor did he go to worship at his mother's grave because he could not face it.
Yes, he was worried that once he went back, he would lose control completely and destroy the entire village.
"Haha... maybe I should go back and take a look."
"This inner demon, after so many years, should be solved."
Augustine took a deep breath, raised his hand, and the pure holy light covered everything in front of him, shattering all these pictures and turning them into little bits of light.
The moment Augustine shattered the picture, the sleeping lady hidden in the darkness shuttled back and forth, blended into the darkness, and disappeared into the dream space.
"Dream jump?"
"She has escaped into other people's dreams."
"The ability originating from the dream demon is really annoying!"
Augustine muttered something softly, but had no intention of continuing the pursuit.
The dream world is the home of the Night Path. The believer of the night has collected her own nightmare images. In the dream space, she can continuously use her nightmare abilities to fall into the illusion.
Frequently facing pain and despair will cause problems in your own state and may lead to loss of control.
At that point, the gains will outweigh the losses.
Another point is that after Augustine's fight, he has confirmed the opponent's strength. The Sequence 4 saint has an incomplete mythical creature form - the dream demon. Once the two sides attack with all their strength, the dream demon in the dream space will
Get huge bonuses.
His mythical creature form is not suitable for fighting in dreams.
Under the circumstances, Augustine knew that it would be difficult for him to leave behind a dream demon who just wanted to escape.
…
Outside the manor, Bishop Johns, a defector from the Mechanical Curia who was rapidly approaching, suddenly felt the fierce battle inside the manor.
"No, something's wrong. There are a lot of people all of a sudden. They are all mid-sequence Beyonders..."
"Um?"
"Are they purging the followers of the Eternal Demon Cult?"
"Is it the hidden secret of Marquis Dickens?"
Johns' expression suddenly became serious, he murmured to himself, took out a mechanical monocle from his arms, and put it on his left eye.
Through the light red mirror, the distant picture gradually comes into perspective, and the outline of the entire manor gradually becomes transparent, and small dots that constantly collide appear. Red, black, and blue dots collide with each other. The number of black dots
It is declining rapidly, and the situation is showing a one-sided trend.
"Something happened!"
"Damn it, why are there so many Extraordinaries all of a sudden?"
"Have you planned it beforehand?"
"Or a trap?"
"Where is the High Priest of Sloth?"
"And where is the woman and the blasphemer?"
"where are they?"
"Were they being held back? Or..."
Johns kept scanning these light spots, looking for the Slothful High Priest and others. Soon, in the direction of Purple Flower Manor, he saw the black light spots that were constantly collapsing. The black light spots were dark in color, mixed with extremely chaotic
The ripples of tentacles give people an extremely crazy feeling.
The white light spot that was fighting with it kept shining with a pale yellow light. The light spot became larger and larger, and it was obvious that it had the upper hand.
"The High Priest of Sloth is going to lose?"
"Why has that woman and the blasphemer disappeared so long?"
"Did they not want the contents?"
"No, there's something wrong."
"Withdraw first."
Johns immediately decided to retreat. The Slothless High Priest was beaten like this. Neither of them took action. There were only two possibilities.
One, something happened to them, so they couldn't take action.
Second, things changed and they abandoned the lazy high priest.
No matter what kind of situation it is, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time.
Johns immediately turned around and prepared to leave.
Two figures appeared in front of him.
A man and a woman, one holding a spear and the other holding an emerald magic wand.
Johns' pupils shrank and his expression turned ugly.
