If you are bargaining with a shop on the street and you say, "Give me this ring for a hundred dollars," and the seller knows that the ring is worth at least a thousand dollars, he still says, "Okay, I'll give it to you, and it comes with a free gift."
Giveaway." How would you feel?
I think if it is a normal situation, either there is something wrong with the ring itself, or the seller is either a traitor or a thief, or even has some conspiracy against you.
And this is probably how I feel now. In addition, there is also the feeling of swinging a heavy stick but hitting the cotton with a hammer. I obviously prepared many tricks, but why did I follow it so easily?
The Mad Dragon Warriors are the pinnacle creations of alchemy and draconology. They are artificially created dragon-veined warriors. Without Bayer's thousands of years of accumulation and the unusual relationship with the dragon clan, it would be impossible for them to exist as super warriors.
It is said that these guys are born with infinite strength (strength 18+), can wear super heavy armor that is impossible for mortals to equip, and are also equipped with giant dragon spears and ax blades more than three meters long. Once put into the battlefield, they are irresistible killing machines.
The natural defensive scales and regeneration capabilities of the dragon vein give the killing machine powerful battlefield persistence and recovery capabilities. Once it is in crisis, asking the dragon vein for power will often bring it endless potential to continue its dragon transformation.
Give it new powers and stronger basic attributes.
Of course, the forcibly added dragon veins also have some irresistible weaknesses. The madness of this "crazy dragon" reminds these tough warriors that if they are obsessed with killing, they will forever lose the possibility of returning to human form and human heart. In the most cruel
The dragon mad warriors who returned from the battlefield were either transformed into monsters by the unstoppable dragon transformation, or they became lunatics who lost their minds.
The Dragon Shield Defender is a completely different category. If the Crazy Dragon Warrior is the sharpest flame spear, then the Dragon Shield Defender is the strongest ice shield.
But unlike the Mad Dragon Warriors who have unusually obvious physical characteristics, these heavily armored and heavily shielded defenders are covered in armor. There is not much specific information, but as long as they appear on the field, they can often achieve amazing results. These
Warriors who are good at group battles even have a record of successfully killing giants with a team of only three or five people.
And their wall shield is two meters high. As long as it is erected, it can form a magic defensive barrier. Just a small team can provide a city wall-like defense. It is used as a "movable city wall".
But you get what you pay for. It is said that armor and enchanted shields are top-notch goods. Each warrior's full armor and training are as good as the top-grade silver. There are only about 20 war groups in the entire Bayer Kingdom.
Establishment of 80,000 people.
Seems like a lot? But if you consider the status of Bayer as a superpower, these 80,000 people are probably less than the private soldiers of a local lord.
Therefore, even Bayer did not dare to invest these expensive warriors in ordinary battles, and such a national treasure could not even be handed over to any prince other than the crown prince.
And now, when I flipped through the thick training materials and alchemy formulas in my hands, and heard Heloise’s identification information that “should be real, or it is also the research result of the same level”, I also felt like I was in a dream.
, and the tyrant who had just yelled, "Give it to him, I said. Give it to him." He reprimanded the ministers for persuading him, but now he was sitting at the table and looking at me with a smile.
"To show your courtesy for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief."
All the unimportant idlers have been driven away, and now there are only five people in front of the table. They are all familiar faces to me, myself, Galina, Oros, and Hylonte, an old steward of the palace.
Looking at the smiling Oros, as if he was a profiteer who had just made a lot of money. I subconsciously raised my vigilance. I didn't think that a "gift from Esso" would make him lose his way and obey me obediently.
of blackmail.
"Not compromising with terrorists" is a common practice no matter in which world. This is not because the big powers are reluctant to exchange chips, but because greed is endless. No one knows whether they will raise prices or whether they will be short-term.
The success will inspire enthusiasm for the next action, and once this kind of compromise is announced, it will also be a direct blow to the country's prestige, and it will also expose the country's weaknesses and shortcomings.
In the international world of jungle rules, the money wolves attracted by exposed weaknesses will not be ordinary terrorists next time.
And from the perspective of "I will spread the biohazard without giving you money", my behavior this time can be classified as one of them, so Oros's compromise is also very puzzling. It's not that I shouldn't compromise, but at least I won't do it so easily.
So he handed over this valuable treasure that was obviously blackmail.
If it were me, even if I compromise in the end, I would try various ways to make the threat person disappear, and even if I accept the conditions, I would put forward additional requirements that do not allow for other additional conditions, and understand the matter once and for all.
"I know you are confused, but in fact I have always been grateful to you. I know that you have a lot of research results in alchemy research, and you have many dragon allies. Just treat this information as a small gift."
Oros started with these words, but I already knew it. After all, Ivanli once mentioned to me that because I saved Oros from the threat of Esso, he seemed to be very grateful to me, but what he said next was...
It was completely beyond my expectation.
"It's not just about the undead that I'm grateful for. I was still surprised when I learned from Miss Ivanli that you lost your memory. Or, I should tell you about the seeds I left behind back then. Emoy."
The old butler wearing a palace dress had a wrinkled face and looked old and aged, but he stretched out his hand, and the little golden light in it condensed and eventually turned into a ball of holy light, illuminating the room.
"This...is impossible!"
Pure Holy Light will not deceive people. This is indeed an outstanding Paladin. But what surprised me is that this Emoyer not only did not recite the name of Holy Light, but also did not have the emblem of the God of Holy Light on his body.
This is obviously against the teachings of the God of Holy Light.
In the past, before using the Holy Light, I would praise the Holy Light or pretend to say a few words with the corners of my mouth, just to make myself appear to be no different from other Paladins. And the person in front of me, in a sense, is the same as me using the Holy Light.
The Holy Light's method is very similar, but he does not chant the name of the Holy Light.
"Your Excellency, the First Pope, you are right. What our southern sect believes in is not the God of Holy Light, but the Holy Light itself. In the eyes of the Holy Church, we are the heresy that should be eradicated."
While I was surprised by the content, I was even more surprised by the weird title.
"Lady Yi Wenli also mentioned that you have lost your memory of the past in Bayer. Perhaps, as the sixth generation pope of the Southern Sect and your successor, I should mention the great achievements you did back then...
."
So, in the old man's sigh, the dust-laden past was gradually revealed.
The official name of the Southern Sect should be "Pure Holy Light Church". In the eyes of the senior leaders of the Holy Church, it is probably a person with some differences in understanding of the teachings of the Holy Church, but only the core members of this church will know that.
The difference is not just one or two points. What they believe in is not the God of Holy Light, but the pure Holy Light.
Their birthplace is the "Black Hand Baron" in the royal capital of Bayer, and the establishment of the church was strongly supported by the Bayer royal family. This small sect has been given a unique character by its founder since its birth.
Mission - to spread the true teachings of the Holy Light and replace the increasingly decadent Holy Church.
"Today's Southern Sect has more than 200,000 followers, distributed in Bayer and other corners of the world. They travel through time in the name of the Holy Church, but they spread the purest teachings of the Holy Light. In fact,
In addition to our understanding of the Holy Light, we are different from ordinary
There is no obvious difference between the Holy Light Priests. I am even the former Archbishop of the Holy Church in the Beyer Diocese. And it is precisely because of this that the old pope will not launch a jihad at all costs. After all, in their eyes,
Evil must die, but heresy must die even more.”
Regardless of whether one believes in the Holy Light or the God of Holy Light, there seems to be little difference, but the practical significance is extremely huge. If the God of Holy Light is recognized as an omnipotent personal God as described in his teachings, then the Holy Church will naturally
got his approval, and if he only acknowledged the existence of the Holy Light,
Now, and believe that the Holy Light is the source of power and an impersonal existence, then the Holy Church will naturally lose all its theocratic orthodoxy and become a group of deceitful thieves, and even treat the God of Holy Light as a personal god.
The ontology exists, and there is the possibility of questioning.
This is also the reason why heresy is far more dangerous than evil. This is also the reason why Roland's display in the north will shake the faith of countless clergymen.
This is a more terrifying threat to the Holy Church than the Holy War itself, so after the Cardinal Archbishop's emergency meeting, the entire country of Bayer was regarded as a heretic country. Faced with such major doctrinal differences, the Holy War was launched.
Crusade became the only option.
There is no doubt that Bayer, who has been judged as a heretic, is the origin of this heretical church, and is their natural ally. After completely breaking up with the Holy Church, when a large number of clergymen were expelled,
Those clergymen who seemed to have stayed "for personal reasons" have formed the new Southern Church. The pure teachings of the Holy Light have begun to spread openly, and the seeds sown by Roland that year have begun to sprout.
Even though I no longer have the memory of that year, if I think about it for a moment, I feel that this is exactly like Roland's handwriting back then.
That year, Roland was betrayed by the Holy Light, an avenger full of hatred, and an evil man who had been deprived of all reputation, but he still retained the ability of a paladin. Just this alone was enough.
Used to shake the authority of the Holy Church.
To really destroy a sect, it is extremely difficult to suppress it from the outside, but internal differences and heresies are the most deadly. So, he sowed the seeds in Bayer. Although he didn't know if they would sprout, he did
There is always no loss.
"The prophecies you left behind have all been confirmed. When the major events in the Book of Revelation are verified one after another, our faith becomes more pious, and the doubters return to piety. When evil overwhelms justice, we follow your instructions
The requirements are hidden. Fortunately, as you said in the prophecy, the misfortune in the prophecy can be avoided through our own efforts. At least we have avoided the desperate situation of countless undead gates opening in the land of Bayer."
Since they want to spread doctrines, how could someone miss the most useful "prophet" status and write a series of prophecies casually, and the sect that regards the prophetic book as a holy scripture will naturally gain trust and gradually become stronger
Come on, this was within Roland's expectations back then, otherwise there would be no need for him to pretend to be a god and make prophecies.
In fact, Roland is still doing the same thing now, sowing seeds everywhere, and even he doesn't know whether they will sprout or not.
But what we are facing now is no longer the green seed of the past, but a towering tree that has experienced two hundred years of wind and rain and has gradually matured.
When the undead were raging, this southern sect became the trump card in Oros's hand and the most trustworthy target. Those Paladins and Holy Light Priests were the last vanguard in the face of the undead. This is also the reason why Oros expressed his gratitude to me.
At this time, Galina and Helent at the table looked at me as if they were looking at a monster. After all, hundreds of years of planning and accurate predictions were beyond their understanding. Examples of this are listed below.
The legendary story is enough to be regarded as a mythical epic, but the person involved is in front of himself.
"We are convinced that the prophet can defeat the evil in the shadows. In fact, the title reported by Her Majesty the Queen is missing the most important one - the founder of the Southern Sect, our most pious prophet and guide, the day before yesterday
What you did in the North made our faith more pious, and we began to preach openly on the mainland. Perhaps this is what made those false god churches who stole the authority of the Holy Light angry."
Well, the eyes of the old pope are full of piety, and he believes that this is part of his destiny. He agrees that the final day of judgment in the prophecies will eventually come, and that all bad luck can be reversed through hard work, but I am convinced that for Oros
That's not the same thing.
From the perspective that a good knife only needs one owner, my presence seems to be a bit of an eyesore just because of my relationship with the Southern Sect. Perhaps, the gift he is expressing now is indeed an apology. If I fail this "test"
, or today is the day I die.
At this time, Oros, as the master, smiled.
"Okay, let's not mention those that are and are not. In order to show the sincerity of the alliance, let's introduce it again. This Grand Duke Helent... is my nephew and the only legal heir of our country.
