"...Please get out of the way, we are going to investigate the case."
"Investigating the case? Who gave you the authority? This is the town of Anton in the Principality of Sara. It is the territory of the God of Justice and Discipline. We do not welcome outsiders like you!"
When the genius dawned, I was woken up by the noise at the door.
What I looked out of the window was a dispute between the adventurers. One group of people blocked the door and prevented the other group from coming out. It was a common door-blocking incident.
Those who were blocked were very familiar, the trio of newcomers from the cult investigation team, and considering their not bad strength, those who could cause trouble for them would naturally not be weak.
They were obviously a group of clergy, and they were also well-off church people.
The white priest's robe is embroidered with purple and gold borders, which shows that he is of high rank. Although the holy emblem of the cross and the silver holy sword is cliché, the faintly flowing holy power on it is proof of a true priest.
Behind him, there were more than a dozen paladins and warriors with silver armor and silver swords. It seemed that the bishop of Nampus had brought the temple knights to create a scene.
Nampus, the god of justice and discipline, is a weak divine power. His priesthood is not the justice he declares. After all, the concept of justice is too empty and huge, even for a main god. His real priesthood is only to discipline the "discipline" under it.
"Self-discipline", "class separation", "military regulations" and other extended concepts, many soldiers and lords are his followers.
“Is it another conflict between faith and mobile phone reading novels and which one is better at mobile phone reading?”
A lot of these things have happened over the years. Believers of the Gods of Order generally do not fight on the outside, but there are also many secret fights in private. As for being friendly with the "gods of Hades who compete for faith and sphere of influence"
Get along. That is already an impossible task.
The Principality of Sara is a small country. It is not as wealthy as a county in a big country. There are no powerful and ruthless characters. Andu Town is a remote town, and the population of the three surrounding towns does not exceed 100,000. Nampus is a weak god, and the religion
The number of staff and combat power are limited. The combination of these many conditions leads to the fact that the church will only preach in densely populated areas. There is no influence of the Nampus Church in the border towns of the Principality of Sala.
Looking at the boots of the priest and the knight, the cloaks are covered with wind and sand. The dusty appearance is probably because they were temporarily transferred from the capital diocese upon receiving a notice.
Faith is the source of the power of the true God, believers are the earthly walkers of the true God, and parishes are the earthly palace of the true God. We can completely understand a true god’s concern for his own limited territory, but obviously, this will not hinder our decision.
The alliance agreement signed by the God of Law and the God of Light in the North allowed the two major forces to maintain the most basic peace and trust, at least until the end of the Abyss invasion and the Holy War. Before the common enemies of both sides were eliminated, this
Fragile alliances will always exist.
Haven't they already fallen out? They've all taken action in Hades. Why does the alliance still exist? It's precisely because they've fallen out that the originally meaningless alliance has become important.
In fact, most of the diplomatic covenants between countries in the world are like this. If both parties have the need to maintain peace on paper and have common interests, then an outdated contract that was originally just a piece of waste paper can find some relationship, and a mere verbal covenant can be used.
It becomes a categorical and ironclad letter.
And if both parties feel that there is no need for the alliance to exist, even the allies of the times who are recognized by the world will fall out in the next moment and blow their brains out.
At this time, since he was offended in Nampus's eyes, he naturally sent out his loyal servants, not to help his followers who were in danger, but to expel those uninvited guests.
At the door of the Rhinoceros Tavern, the bishop and priest of Nampus repeatedly emphasized that the other party had crossed the line. They could not interfere with the affairs here. This was their own territory. Tiana and the others had long been used to facing such questions.
"We allow the guidance of the rules of the law and the scale of justice, come for justice and justice in our hearts, and come to lend a helping hand to the ordinary people who ask for help from us. You? For your great true God? That blood sacrifice before
When it happened just now, why didn’t I see you guys coming?”
Dark elves have always had a very poisonous mouth. Even though the knight's rules restrict lies and malicious words that deliberately hurt others, this is purely a statement of the truth, which in turn hurts people even more.
"God of justice? Haven't you seen what your god has done for you?"
Seeing the guilty conscience of the other party, the mercenary Mary took advantage of the victory and pursued her. The mercenary who couldn't argue would probably die of anger sooner or later. It was difficult to answer her questions. Only the rookie in the team, Thor, looked panicked at this time.
"You...you...evil blasphemers, how do you deserve to be God's servants, you dark-skinned..."
That's what the bishop kept mumbling. In his mind, the evil dark elves should have been burned to death, and the God of Law who colluded with them was also an evil god. No, in the eyes of fanatic believers, as long as
To believe in a god other than his is already a capital crime.
From the perspective of the trio on the legal side, these new guys are simply unreasonable, and the fanatic priests are even more lackeys of the True God of Order.
In the view of the old bishop, the other party's contempt for the gods was simply a deception and a heinous crime. If the gods had not issued strict orders to avoid conflicts, they would have started fighting now.
If it were other people, they would probably only think that this is the inevitable conflict of faith that is the prelude to the war between gods that has been common for thousands of years. But for me, I see some essential differences, which are about the essential difference between faith and theology.
.
Among the four pillars are the Pillar of Holy Light and the Pillar of Law. They will also assume the responsibility of divine servers. The Southern Sect and the Church of Law were both born because of me. The most essential difference between them and the traditional Church of Gods is in the doctrinal setting.
There is no place for a personal god in the Bible. What they believe in and recognize is the Holy Light and the law itself, not a certain god.
Maybe this doesn't seem to be different, but it is actually a huge difference in nature, related to the relationship between mortals and gods, and to the future of the entire world.
The pastors of the Church of the Gods will respect each other, because they are the most loyal servants of the gods, agents of the gods' will, and shepherds of the gods herding sheep on the earth. Their identity as shepherds is their pride.
Basically, they have already subconsciously drawn a boundary with mortals.
However, the teachings of the two new sects tell the world that this world belongs to mortals. The purpose of spreading faith is to guide people to be good and make the world better. It is not to serve the gods. The superior gods are just officials with some privileges and can be replaced or even replaced.
Erasure of existence.
If this is not blasphemy, what else is, not to mention that the anti-knight, regarded as a natural enemy by all the gods, actually came together with the two major sects, which made the gods of order even more dissatisfied.
In a sense, the Church of the Law and the Southern Sects are digging the graves of the gods under the guise of religion.
Inexplicably, as I watched, I suddenly thought of the word "generation gap"... If you look at it from another angle, the times have caused the old and new generations to have differences in values, outlook on life, and different understandings of "faith and religion" in front of them.
It's really too similar.
The rise of new forces will naturally conflict with the old forces. In addition, new era professions such as the legal profession and the Four Spirit Swordsmen are rapidly spreading throughout the world. Friction in many aspects such as values, life pursuits, and beliefs is inevitable.
Yes, this scene is probably happening in every corner of the world.
However, due to the existence of common interests and common enemies, under the strong pressure from the top, the grassroots must exercise restraint, at least not bear the responsibility of actively intensifying conflicts.
As a result, a very helpless scene appeared in front of us. The local bishop and the Templar Knights rushed over thousands of miles away. They blocked the opponent, but they could only...
"You are a bastard, and your whole family is a bad guy."
"Your entire family is a bastard, but my father is amazing."
"Asshole, do you dare to come out?"
"Asshole, do you dare to come in?"
"I just came in, you hit me."
"Ha, if you dare, take action first."
Since you can't do it with your hands, you can only use your mouth.
Clergy don't know how to curse. Throw away those impetuous religious terms and allusions and turn them into vernacular. What's left is probably the content of a quarrel between primary school students.
And since the premise of not being able to fight has been determined from the beginning, then even the ability to fight as a primary school student is not improved, and since it is impossible to surround him, some people have thought of other methods.
"I, Paladin White Beamon, challenge you to a fair duel with my lifelong honor as a knight!"
The middle-aged knight leading the crowd came forward. Judging from the epaulettes and power, this should be a legendary knight.
It seems that he has realized that the strongest opponents are all at the gold level, and plans to use his strength to suppress his opponent in his own name.
But others looked at him with worried eyes, and it was clear that the situation was not optimistic.
Since the elemental tide surged after the Dawn Era, advancement has become much easier than before. Gold-level masters have become very common, and even legendary levels have become full of water.
The most frustrating thing about the threshold of past legends is probably the step of condensing the soul seal. It is not only a summary of the past, but also a clear path for the future. It is not that easy to recognize oneself, and in today's environment,
You can successfully advance even without a soul emblem, but your strength is incomparable to the true legends of the previous era.
This kind of parallel import legend is not even fundamentally different from the gold level.
But there is no end to the road. As they consolidate their realm, they can also add a soul seal, but they are also destined to be unable to recognize their true self. Such a soul seal is incomparable to a truly legendary powerhouse.
It is often a common product that slightly increases a certain ability, but the quantitative change cannot achieve a qualitative change. Such legends are also called pseudo-legends.
Knight Commander White, who is now taking the initiative to challenge, is such a pseudo-legend who has just advanced. Maybe he will be able to make up for the soul seal of a popular commodity in a while, but now he is not essentially different from the Golden Master.
No wonder his companions were a little worried.
"If you lose, please quit this mission and give us the clues you recently obtained. We will solve the principality's affairs."
When knights who regard honor as their destiny have a dispute, it is a very common choice to resolve the dispute through duel, and this is the best way White can think of at this time.
"We refuse, we want to carry out the mission, none of us..."
Halfway through Thor's words, he was directly pulled back by a delicate hand. Tiana stepped forward, flicked her wrist, and brought out blossoming sword flowers from the silver heavy sword.
"Knights are never afraid of duels, please."
Looking at me from upstairs, I shook my head helplessly. Why is this girl trying to imitate a stupid girl? How can a dark elf learn chivalry? I think my head is filled with water.
"But as a challenger, and a challenger who bullies the younger ones, you actually think you still have honor? Well, as a price for accepting the challenge, if you lose, you can keep the sword in your hand."
Okay, I take back what I just said. Tiana is much more cunning than Diana. The heavy sword in her hand is just a standard weapon, and the evaluation is excellent at best. The two-handed sword held by the knight opposite has a little fluorescence, which is obviously an extremely excellent magic weapon.
The weapons are at least sophisticated, maybe epic, and definitely worth a gamble.
But the most cunning thing about her was that she only said what to do if the other party lost, but did not say that she would have to pay for her life if she lost. Even if she really lost, it would still be nonsense.
But the old-fashioned paladin captain went beyond the limit of his shame by "bullying the young" like this. The other party's not-so-mean words already made him blush. If it weren't for the fact that the reputation of the church was at stake in this competition, he would have done it.
The urge to turn around and run away.
Now when he heard his opponent propose this seemingly unfair bet, he not only nodded in agreement, but also showed a grateful expression to the female elf, thinking that the opponent was looking after his knightly honor.
His panic-stricken teammates obviously saw something, but seeing that the captain had agreed, they couldn't say anything else and could only cheer for the captain.
The threesome on the other side are indeed from Sulfur Mountain City. They are much simpler and more practical. Mary directly threw her small bag filled with various props to Tiana, who was a Four Spirit Sword user who relied on foreign objects.
Personal props.
And Thor handed Tiana an ammunition bag hidden close to his body. The various wooden handles of grenades exposed at the mouth of the bag made people feel numb. No matter what his main occupation was, the goblin decided that he should be a part-timer or a businessman.
Or Goblin Engineer.
But those bastards in the bar have already entered the theater mode, pointing and pointing.
But at this moment, I suddenly remembered something, got up quickly, and hurried downstairs.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute! Don't fight yet, save someone else!"
Then when I rushed into the two opposing sides, everyone looked at me in surprise, but they really stopped, as if waiting for me to say something.
"What clues did you find?"
Seeing the guide suddenly running down, Mary, who was quick-thinking, seemed to have guessed something. Her words suddenly caused an uproar in the scene.
However, I tried my best to calm down, raised my head after a while, glanced at every nervous face with a serious face, and spoke in the most powerful and high-pitched voice.
"The gold-level female elf pays 15 for 1, the legendary paladin pays 1 for 2, and there is no limit for a draw. You have to use speed, and you won't wait until you are too late!" (To be continued...) r1292
