The four guardian knights' betrayal of Zhusha seemed unexpected, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually not surprising.
It was impossible to get the four of them to surrender to Zidi, but Zhenjin was a different matter.
Zhen Jin has a noble bloodline and is a true nobleman, and even a Templar.
The status of Zhenjin and Zhusha is almost the same. They both believe in the same god. The clergy of the Shengming Sect often cooperate with the Templar Knights to fight. Each leader of the Templar Knights is equivalent to a red archbishop, better than a bishop.
It's still a higher level.
The Guardian Knights are not the direct descendants of Zhu Sha. Originally, the six Guardian Knights were only ordered to protect the priests, but now there are only four left.
It seems that Chusha is in a very bad state. Moreover, no matter how great the credit is, it means more to the superiors like Chusha. It is still questionable how much credit the four guardian knights can share.
The mana pool was drying up so rapidly that the four guardian knights were worried that if they didn't have enough mana, they would become victims.
After all, Templars and priests cannot harm each other. There is no such thing as the status and identity of these four people.
In the eyes of the four of them, saving their own lives is the first choice. Zhen Jin, who only wants to survive, has become their best object of allegiance!
Now, Zhenjin's attitude and choice become the key.
"Master Zhenjin!" Zidi called.
Looking at his fiancée, Zhen Jin nodded, then turned around and glared sternly at Chasha.
The priest's heart sank.
"Father Zhusha, now I ask you to withdraw from the struggle for authority!" Zhen Jin shouted.
Zi Di let out a breath, and as she expected, Zhen Jin still chose to stand on her side at the critical moment.
Shasha is furious.
"Even if you kill me, I will not quit this fight!"
Zhen Jin shook his head and softened his tone: "How could I attack a priest? I will only knock you unconscious."
"Knock me unconscious?" Zhusha sneered, and immediately a wisp of holy light emerged from his body.
His physical condition at this moment is very worrying, his whole body is like a layer of skin covering the surface of his bones.
The noble and holy light in the past seemed a little penetrating on him.
"You think I don't have the power to fight back? In this forbidden environment, you can't use fighting spirit, how can you resist my magic?" These words immediately made Zhenjin and the four guardian knights hesitate.
Zhusha continued to say to the four protective knights: "I can understand the choice of the four of you. But if you do this, even if you get out alive, what will you face? The training you have received is all about protecting
Sect, protect our clergy members. It’s okay for you to sit back and watch now. If you really want to take action against me, think about it. Even if you survive, you will still have to face punishment and accountability, and you will be worse than dead!"
"This..." The four guardian knights looked at each other with serious expressions.
Zhusha's words were very sharp, and all of a sudden made the four guardian knights extremely embarrassed.
They could only look at Zhen Jin, with their eyes praying for Zhen Jin to take action.
Zhen Jin was stunned.
He doesn’t dare!
Along the way, he has fully felt the power of divine magic.
Now let him deal with Shasha? It is very likely that if the magic continues, he will die.
With Cha Sha's physical and mental state, would he really not be able to kill the Templars if pushed too hard? Zhen Jin didn't dare to bet.
Even Zidi hesitated: "Sir, be careful and don't be rash."
Zhenjin is her amulet at this moment. Once Zhenjin dies, it is self-evident who the four guardian knights will listen to.
Zhen Jin gritted his teeth, stared at Shasha, and said tentatively: "You can't kill me!"
Zidi felt a chill in her heart. Zhen Jin's words clearly revealed the fear in his heart.
Sure enough, Zhusha's next sentence was: "Haha, Knight Templar, you can give it a try and see if I dare! If pressed, I can do anything."
Zhen Jin gritted his teeth and looked even more hesitant.
He was stuck in a dilemma of choice.
The reason why he was angry just now was just to ask for life. But now Zhusha is strangely stubborn to the end, which really leaves Zhenjin with no choice.
"Wouldn't it be too unfair if I tried to knock Zhu Sha out of consciousness, but ended up dying under his magic?"
The risk is too great, so I won't dare to do it.
The pressure of impending death also made his mind race like never before.
He quickly organized his words and persuaded: "Zhusha, the longer the delay, the more the mana pool will be consumed. The next artifact may not be able to be teleported."
"Now, the reason why we are in a stalemate and have endless conflicts is nothing more than uneven distribution of work!"
"I propose that we share all the credit equally."
"Split equally?" Zi Di raised her eyebrows, not quite willing.
"Please shut up! My fiancée, do you want to die?" Zhen Jin turned around and scolded severely.
Zidi stopped talking.
"Equal split? Absolutely impossible!" Chasha sneered. He had already forced Zhen Jin to submit. He couldn't push further now, but when would he wait?
Zhusha continued: "Do you know how much I paid? Besides, do you think that if you can share the credit equally, you can achieve an equal share? Reward based on merit, that is a matter above. Can you interfere with their judgment and decision-making?
"
Zhusha's attitude is tougher than before.
Zhen Jin gritted his teeth: "Okay, then I'll give in. We don't want the things on the third floor! We only take this big shell for the two artifacts. I'll give you the sapphire and gold coffin."
"This won't work either!" Zhusha growled.
Zhen Jin was stunned, then became furious, and roared: "Do you understand what you are doing now? Father! You are seeking your own death."
"I really don't understand, why do you want so much credit?"
"Can't you allocate some to us?"
"Yes, you have made the greatest contribution, but don't we all contribute? Without the sacrifices of our group, how could you have come here safely? Maybe you would have died long ago. At least the four guardian knights will never be left
It rained so much.”
"Hehehe" Zhusha laughed, and his laughter became more and more crazy.
Whether it was the outbreak of Zhenjin or his negotiation with Zhusha, Zidi never stopped attacking Zhusha during the entire process.
In order to resist Zidi, Zhusha could only keep squeezing herself, desperate.
He is now older and older, and his original white hair has gradually fallen away, revealing a bald head with protruding veins. His eyes are red and completely protruding, and the whole person is skinny and skinny, as if he is about to die suddenly at any time.
"I won't give in!"
"If you want to die, let's all die together!"
"Why should I give in to you scum?"
"All the credit is mine, it's all mine! If you don't give it to me, you'll die together!"
Zhusha roared, with a twisted look on his face, as if he had completely lost his mind.
"Master Father!"
"Can you calm down?"
"We didn't force you!"
The guardian knights panicked.
"I will never give in. I will never give in to people like you!" Zhusha murmured in his mouth, constantly emphasizing. His eyes were obviously dull, giving people the feeling of being delirious.
"What's the reason? We can discuss it. If you have problems here, we can solve them together." Zhen Jin growled. Facing such a paranoid and tough Zhu Sha, he had a headache.
It took a long time for Zhusha to realize: "The reason?"
"Hehehe."
"There is only one reason. Please listen carefully."
Zhen Jin quickly said: "I am all ears!"
The next moment, Chusha exhaled a breath of turbid air, and said softly in a weak but determined tone: "Because I am Chusha."
"What?" Zhen Jin couldn't believe it.
His expression made Chusha laugh. A twisted smile appeared on Chusha's face. He repeated: "That's right, just because I am Chusha!!"
The rest of the people were all shocked. Just as Zidi said, the priest seemed to have suffered severe mental damage due to severe physical overdraft. He was really delirious - he was crazy!
"I am Zhu Sha..." The priest's vision gradually blurred, and at this moment, he saw his past.
Shengming Continent, West Coast.
The salty, humid and warm sea breeze blows into the church through the tall ribbed windows.
The soft light of the sunset shines on the five-color flower window, creating a mysterious atmosphere.
Father Chasha suddenly opened the door and walked quickly into the chapel.
With an angry look on his face, he quickly walked through the rows of seats and came to the podium. He asked: "Bishop Heiichi, why did you veto my promotion?"
"It has been three years since I came to this diocese! In the past three years, I have been working hard and contributing to the diocese. I have not gotten up early and gone to bed late on any day. I have supervised the construction of most of the chapels in various parts of the diocese. Over the years,
Almost all of the new congregations were developed by me. I worked up all night and worked hard on this. My merits were more than enough to be promoted to bishop. My devotion to the Holy Ming Emperor can be seen from time to time. There is no problem with my qualifications. I can even be promoted as a priest.
The identity of the person casts the resurrection spell!"
"I want to be a bishop! This is what I have been working towards for three years."
"Why do you deny it? Everyone else agrees, but your denial has made all my three years of hard work come to nothing!"
"Why do you?"
"Are you afraid? Or are you jealous?! Jealous of me. I am so young and have to be equal to you and become the same bishop."
Bishop Pingyi listened to all the words quietly, then he ended his prayer, turned his head and looked at Zhu Sha.
He is very old, with white hair and white beard. He is tall, but his back is stooped due to age.
Even when he was scolded and reprimanded, his eyes were still full of gentleness and kindness.
"Young and promising Zhusha, anger will not hurt me, it will only hurt yourself."
"The reason why I deny it is just because you are not suitable to be a bishop yet."
"Not suitable? Why do you say I'm not suitable?!" Zhusha raised his eyebrows and broke out again.
Bishop Pingyi stretched out his broad palm and made a virtual press on the scab.
Even though Zhusha was furious, with Bishop Heiichi's action, his mood miraculously relaxed.
Bishop Pingyi said slowly: "Three years ago, there was a theft. A young guard under the city lord stole the treasures from the city lord's palace, and was found. His body hung at the city gate for a year. This
Was it you who reported this matter?"
A cold light flashed in Zhusha's eyes: "Yes! The real situation is that this young guard attempted to elope with the city lord's daughter. Before the action, the guard confessed to me, repenting for his betrayal of the city lord and his guilt for being away from his parents. At the same time,
Praying for the success of this elopement.”
"Huh, this mud-legged guy, he relies on his handsome appearance and sweet words to get close to the upper class. The city lord's daughter is not very experienced in the world, so she was deceived by him."
"How can I tolerate such a crime? What a gift it is for the city lord to give him the opportunity to serve as a guard. He actually wants to repay kindness with enmity!"
"So, I was filled with anger and told the city lord about it overnight. Am I wrong?"
Bishop Heiichi shook his head: "Confession is a moment for mortals to get close to God. We should forgive. This is a sacred thing and should not be taken advantage of. You have violated the canon."
"Two years ago, Archbishop Mi Hong came to inspect, and you were responsible for the reception. During the seven days of reception, hundreds of people in the diocese lost their lives. Is this true?"
Zhusha nodded: "It's true!"
"However, Bishop Heiichi, you know the situation in our diocese best. Our place is too barren, and the only specialty is silverfish. I mobilized the congregation and offered a large reward to encourage them to catch the freshest fish alive.
Silver-threaded fish were used to entertain Bishop Secret Rainbow. Bishop Secret Rainbow was full of praise for this! Although it was very dangerous to go deep into the seabed to catch silver-threaded fish alive, the church members heard that they were serving Bishop Secret Rainbow, so they were willing to take the risk.
."
Bishop Heiichi sighed: "However, the money you used for the reward was donated by these members of the congregation. My original plan was to use the money to buy improved seeds and distribute them to people for free to improve the food in the diocese.
Let these people eat real food, not mud biscuits made of dirt, butter, and sea salt."
Zhusha raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "This is a good plan, but I definitely don't think it is wrong to use it on Bishop Mihong! I also used it for the right purpose and did not swallow it privately. I have never tasted silver fish!
"
"It is only natural and natural for inferior people to contribute to superior people."
"Don't take too much care of these people. They are like weeds. They die more and give birth to more. What are the most common people in the diocese? Aren't they just these people?"
"Bishop Pingyi, I know you were promoted from a commoner, and I understand your attitude. But you are too sympathetic to these low-class people."
"Actually, human society is not much different from jungles and oceans."
"Everyone's future identity and level are determined as soon as they are born."
"The superior people are like sea sharks and tigers, while the inferior people are like fish, shrimps, birds and rabbits. They are born to be sacrificed, and their flesh and blood nourish the superior people. This is our human society."
"No, more accurately, elves, orcs, dwarves, etc., which one is not like this?"
"Only when the strong rule over the weak, and the superior rule over the inferior, and the superior and inferior respect each other, will society be stable, the family be in order, and the empire have hope!"
Bishop Heiichi shook his head: "Because this money was used for other purposes, famine came a year ago and many people were desperate. It was you who cooperated with the lord to suppress these people and slaughter them all. I remember I told you not to be in such a hurry.
Action, right?"
Zhusha sneered: "Indeed, my Lord Bishop, your idea at the time was to mediate and reconcile, so you told me."
"But I don't want to!"
"This group of mobs! They dare to resist the lord. Just thinking about it makes people angry! Bugs and earthworms should live in the mud. This is their life trajectory. Any low-class people who covet the superior people and are filled with greed and unwillingness
, must learn a bloody lesson!”
"I killed all those who tried to riot, and now the parish is peaceful and no one resists anymore! This is all my contribution!!"
Bishop Pingyi was silent.
After a moment, he sighed and said: "Zhusha, I remember that you were also born into a noble family, and you are a bastard, right? You are not qualified to inherit the territory, so you chose to engage in the priesthood. So, please understand these mortals
Well. To a certain extent, they are in a similar situation to you."
Zhusha laughed loudly: "Bishop Pingyi, how can you speculate on me like this? You are indeed a commoner and cannot understand the thoughts of nobles like us."
"To tell you the truth, I am not a concubine, but my legitimate son, and even more so my eldest son!"
"But I voluntarily gave up my inheritance rights to the territory."
"Why?"
"Because my bloodline is not excellent, the concentration is very low, and my brother's potential is much stronger than mine."
Bishop Pingyi was slightly stunned.
"What do you think the world is? What is the cornerstone of the empire? Bishop Heiichi!" Chasha opened his arms and his voice was so loud that it echoed in the cathedral.
"It is precisely because of our correct thinking!"
"When a person is born, his bloodline determines his life."
"Mortals without blood have to live in mud for the rest of their lives. This is actually a kind of protection for them. If you want the earthworm to rise to the sky, it will only cause him to be burned to death by the sun."
"Although I have a relatively excellent bloodline, there are peers in my family who are much better than me. For the sake of the entire family, I have to make concessions. There is always competition among the lions, and the young lion with the strongest qualifications must be allowed to
Eat the best meat so that you can have the most powerful lion king in every generation!"
"The family is like this, and the empire is like this. It is precisely because of this that our human race will dominate the world and occupy the first hegemony!"
"Bishop Heiichi, do you know that your idea is dangerous?"
"These mortals are not worth caring about at all! In order to protect them, you sacrifice the interests of the superiors, which will only make the lion king of the entire lion group weak. Over time, the human race will deteriorate and be overridden by other races."
Bishop Heiichi has a calm face, but his eyes are firm: "If mortals are not worth caring about, then who am I?"
"This is the fairness of fate."
"Among countless mortals, there will always be one or two lucky ones who stand out."
"But what does that matter?"
"If you look at it, it's a miracle. If you look at it as a family, a noble family will continuously produce extraordinary people. What about mortals? There may not be one among tens of thousands of people in several years. If you look at the empire,
, almost all the high-ranking officials are from noble families! Even those with mortal status are special cases that are unique among thousands."
"Forget it, I can see your paranoia just by looking at your expression."
Zhusha exhaled a breath and sneered: "You can't convince me, and I can't convince you. Then come on, Bishop Pingyi, I formally propose to you a duel within the church!"
Duels within the sect are one of the characteristics of the Shengming Sect, because the Shengming Emperor is the god of victory.
Once a dispute arises, the winner of the duel within the church will also win the dispute.
A big battle lasted half the night.
A few days later, Zhusha said goodbye to Bishop Pingyi.
"I can heal the scar on your face." Bishop Ping Yi said.
"No need, I kept it on purpose." Chusha's face was calm, but his eyes were full of hatred, "I will continue to walk my life with it."
"I want it to remind me every moment of the shame and failure I suffered here."
"One day, one day, I will come back and tell you that I am the right one!"
Ping Yi was silent.
Zhusha turned around, held his head high, and strode out of the church.
The blurred vision gradually became emotional, and he struggled out of his memories. Chasha once again saw Zhenjin, Zidi and the four guardian knights in front of him clearly.
The anger and fear on each of their faces added to the joy in Chusha's heart.
"I will never give in!"
"You bunch of despicable bloods, just black iron, are you going to humiliate me?"
"As for your needle gold, you bring shame to your family and your bloodline!"
"How can the noble give way to the lowly?"
"Even if it means death..."
There was dead silence.
Zhen Jin was stunned. If a person is not afraid of death, what else can he do?
There is nothing anyone can do with such scab.
"Then you go to hell!" Zidi gritted her teeth with hatred.
"Father, aren't you forcing us to take action?" The guardian knights were about to make a move.
Zhusha only responded with a cold snort.
The four guardian knights looked at each other, then spread out, slowly approaching Zhusha from four directions.
The breath of defeat came to my face.
Zhusha knew that he had been bluffing, but in fact he had already reached the end of his strength and had very little power left. He also knew that he was irrational, but in fact, without this anger and unwillingness to support him, he would have collapsed long ago.
Maybe this is people.
Some people are usually dominated by emotions without realizing it, but at critical moments, they are as calm and rational as ice. And some people are usually calm and rational, but at critical moments, they are carried away by emotions.
"Is this the only way we can go?"
At the critical moment of failure, Zhusha's eyes suddenly burst into light.
"Wait!" he blurted out and whispered.
At this moment, a flash of lightning seemed to flash in his mind.
This electric light tore through the fog of darkness and actually illuminated a path to victory!
"My great Lord..." Zhusha sighed happily, and immediately his eyes skipped over the protective knights who were stopped by him, skipped over the needle gold, and landed on Zi Di.
"The shipwreck on the Pig Kiss was caused by you, right? Miss Zidi."
Everyone:???!!
Zhen Jin was angry: "Father Zhusha, you are just talking nonsense, just to delay time. This kind of trick..."
"Hahaha!" Zhusha laughed wildly, his energy lifted up in his madness.
His eyes were like sharp arrows, locking Zidi, and repeated again: "I won this battle after all! Because... the shipwreck of the Pig's Kiss was caused by you!"
