Chapter 103 The Balance of Destiny with a Clear Price
Chapter 103 The balance of destiny with a clearly marked price
"This..." Mark didn't know what to say.
He came to Attilas with an impure attitude, and he just asked the elder sister of the gods to help him clean up his innocence. He asked about the fate dice, and the so-called [destiny blessing] can be said to be the name of the Muse.
Her godhead vouched for Mark. In a sense, she acted as a joint guarantor, thus forcing the senior leaders of the Reincarnation Religion to ignore the vest of Carbine Cthulhu.
From this point of view, Mark indeed owes Muse a big favor.
The key is that Mark finally sees his future clearly.
In fact, Mark's biggest reliance has not changed since the beginning of time travel. It has always been the dice of fate.
However, destiny is so elusive that he doesn't know how to systematically improve his strength.
After traveling through time, looking around, Mark was speechless and found that this was a world where gods were believed to be worshiped, and most of the divine thrones had their own owners.
From a certain virtue to a certain vice, from the classic righteous camp to the evil all-star lineup, it is difficult for an outsider to gain a foothold unless he joins an established organization.
This Kadmark was extremely embarrassed and felt quite stuck.
If the world wasn't so weird, Master Fa was a more traditional elemental mage like "World of Warcraft". He could also consider occupying a piece of land, farming, using information gaps to explode modern industry, and using technology differences to flatten the world.
Unfortunately, this won't work, because the world will be in chaos for only three years.
Now, the dice finally gave the right direction - use soul as a bargaining chip, knowledge as power, and follow the guidance of destiny.
Mark had a vague guess that the more beings whose fate he changed, the faster his strength would increase.
There is no place on earth where one can steadily improve one's strength.
If you want to advance to the level of intervening in the war between gods in just three years, you must put your head on your belt, constantly enter and exit one weird world after another, dance on the tip of a knife, and repeatedly walk on the boundary between hell and reality.
Jump left and right.
After gaining enlightenment, Mark summoned the scale of destiny that exuded mysterious brilliance in the spiritual sea.
"I want a return that is currently worth 20 full points to me."
Almost as soon as the voice of his soul fell, a heavy weight was added to the right side of the balance of fate.
Mark tried to add the events he expected on the left, such as "find the left, right or head of the Valkyrie's broken body", "explore the [Book of the Nether Sea] again", etc. Unfortunately, all hypothetical events are at most that
One term on the left side of the scale yields an expectation of 12 points.
In the past, he might have rushed over happily.
Now...
Mark decisively chose the only one with 20 points.
Two days later, Judge Abner came to Lenid, a small village in the swamp area of Wap Province, the southeastern province of the Wright Empire, and came to a wooden house. The two night watchmen guarding the door quickly saluted and gave Abu
Open the door.
The Inquisitor walked in and saw the corpses placed in the middle of the bright hall, as well as two members of his staff, Vivian and Dida.
"Is it still the same?" Abner asked in a deep voice.
"Yes." Vivian pointed to the body of the villager: "The deceased was a 31-year-old male villager. He was found drowned on the bed in his home this morning. Although there were a lot of marks on the body that were similar to those cut by sharp blades, the body was still wet because the blood had already been cut.
It just solidified, obviously after death. The lungs were filled with filthy water, and it was drowning! I'm sure it's right."
"There is only a very faint remnant of evil power, right?"
"Yes. It's so shallow that it's almost unnoticeable." Vivian shook her head and asked, "Has the message for help been sent out?"
Dida, the expired shot next to him, covered his mouth. At 14 years old, he was still not used to seeing such corpses.
Abner sighed: "Miss Carlos, you should know that the [Purification Squad] is already the highest conventional force that the church can use. Unless it is certain that a small-scale war involving more than 500 people will break out or a large-scale evil demon at the level of destroying a town is discovered,
Otherwise we cannot count on the intervention of the Order."
This is so weird.
First, there were constant reports of villagers dying suddenly and mysteriously in the local area, and then it spread to tourists. So far, there have been more than 30 victims.
The local Church of the Night sent night watchmen over, but nothing could be found.
Villagers continued to be victimized, and the victims even spread to a town thirty kilometers away. Two more punishers were sent from above, but they disappeared during the investigation.
This caused the situation to escalate directly to the red level, the highest level.
The inquisitor stationed locally happened to be seconded by an important case involving the "Hungry Knight" in the neighboring province.
Abner's three-person purification team was called in as a last resort.
Vivian complained a little: "We can only hope that Mr. Destiny, who doesn't understand anything, will receive the news and be willing to come to help, otherwise we can only waste our time here."
Who knows, an elegant and gentle voice floats from far away from the window.
"Oh! Speaking ill of people behind their back is not what a lady should do."
Along with the sound, there was a clear and clear eagle cry.
Several huge light condors carried Mark, whom Vivian was familiar with, and his two servants, and landed steadily on the open space not far from the house.
The condor's broad wings flapped, creating a strong wind that caused the surrounding branches and leaves to sway.
Also cheering up at the same time were a group of people on the night watch.
They didn't know who the visitor was, but using the Light Condor to send someone away represented many things, such as the will of the higher-ups.
No matter what, it's always a good thing to have reinforcements.
The three Abners went out to greet each other. Vivian looked at Mark and the two people beside him, feeling a little strange.
Mark, the bastard, came here wearing a suit, as if he had just attended some high-class concert. The two people around him were also in formal suits. Even wearing expensive suits could not hide the giant's tough temperament, but his temperament
It's one thing, attitude is another.
Mark introduced generously: "This is Helena, and this is Conrad, my follower."
It was a very simple introduction, but it left Abner and others speechless.
Who would go out with a Sequence 7 Storm Warrior and at least a Sequence 8 Mechanicum craftsman?
With such a grand scene, I really don’t know if Mark is here to work or to travel.
Abner felt weird, but he still introduced everyone on his side naturally, and introduced Mark to them: "Mark Destiny, the exclusive consultant of our decontamination team."
The night watchman has no idea about consultants or anything like that.
In the eyes of lower-level practitioners, occultists are salary thieves who take their pay but don't work.
【Destiny】Everyone will understand this surname instantly.
This surname represents power and resources.
Everyone, who was a little uneasy before, immediately calmed down.
Of course, Mark doesn't care what these guys' interpretation is.
After briefly understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Mark sighed: "Have you checked the water source?"
"The water sources near the village are nothing special. They are just two small rivers with average flow, a few wells, and a few small ponds. We have checked the water quality with holy light tools." Night Watch Captain Mofft replied.
"Really?" Mark's eyes flashed: "You asked the villagers, right?"
"What's the problem?"
"Ask again, don't ask the adults, secretly ask the children where the adults prohibit them from going near."
"Hiss!" At this moment, everyone finally tasted something.
…
With the Inquisitor present, this 12-person standard night watchman team was just a handyman. Not long after, Mofft came back with a gloomy face: "Report to Mr. Destiny, we have found it, but it is not a water source. There is a small patch of water to the west of the village.
Bamboo forest. Villagers privately prohibit children from approaching it."
Although it is September, in the Vapu Province in the south of the empire, the general temperature is still above 30 degrees Celsius, sometimes soaring to 34 degrees.
On such a hot day, people naturally want to soak in the pool without getting out.
There are no safe and clean swimming pools in small villages these days, and they are all used for wild swimming.
Not to mention such a backward place, even before Mark traveled through China, a lot of people from all over China drowned every year while swimming in the wild.
The victim was drowned, so of course the Church of the Night followed the path of water source to think about it.
This is how misconceptions arise.
They thought in the direction of evil spirits and [abnormal] objects. Mark had been heading to the other world from the beginning.
Different directions of thinking will naturally produce different results.
Judge Abner's face darkened and he said sternly: "Gather all the villagers together. Now it is no longer a problem for their village."
