Chapter 1113 The Unwanted Person
"Legion Commander... Sir?" Qiao was stunned for a while before he realized what the other person's identity meant, and finally understood where the inexplicable sense of familiarity came from when they first met, but - how could this be possible?
"I...can't understand that you should have died heroically in a defensive battle against the Evil Moon..." Falina swallowed, "And the Divine Punishment Warriors are devout warriors who surrender their bodies and minds to the gods. They Almost never—"
"They never speak, just like being mute?" Zoe interrupted, "This has nothing to do with piety. They can't speak just because their brains have been cleaned. If they don't do this, they won't be able to become A qualified body is here for us to use."
Body? use?
"What on earth are you talking about..."
"Let me ask you first, how does the church promote the God's Punishment Army?"
Joe was the first to answer, "A warrior with the power of the gods, the nemesis of the evil witch, is also the church's best hope for saving the world. Only steadfast and fearless believers can have this honor." He paused for a moment, "We used to think that saving The world is about guarding the gap to prevent evil beasts from invading the mainland, but it was only in Lord Tok Tal’s suicide note that we learned about the battle of divine will and the existence of the devil.”
"So the God's Punishment Army is actually a special force that fights against devils," Falina continued. "Only the Hermes Privy Council knows how to perform the transformation ceremony, but now all this has been given by Roland Wimbledon. destroyed."
"It sounds indeed touching, but unfortunately none of it is true." Zoe smiled contemptuously, "The sole purpose of your so-called God's Punishment Army is to suppress witches and maintain the rule of the usurper. Although this The source of everything is indeed to continue humanity, but the person who made the plan is not the church at all, but the witches."
Falina had an expression of disbelief on her face. If the other party was not the famous Enova, her idol, she would definitely retort loudly.
Qiao took a deep breath and said, "Can you... tell us in detail?"
"Forget it, let me satisfy your curiosity, mortals." Zoe raised the corners of her mouth.
…
When the other party stopped talking, Falina felt a stinging pain in her fingers. At some point, she had clenched her fists, and blood oozed from the broken fingers again.
She finally understood why the characters in historical biographies appeared so vividly in front of her. The Anova in front of her is not the commander of the Judgment Army, but an ancient witch who has been around since more than 400 years ago.
In normal times, she would have shouted blasphemy while drawing her sword and fighting to the death. Even if she could not win, she could not let the evil man control the hero's body.
But now, she felt that all the strength in her body was draining from her fingers.
Too ridiculous.
This is so ridiculous!
According to the other party, it was the witch herself who created all of this. The devil's minions? Evil incarnate? What a joke, they are the ones who dedicate everything to mankind and are truly fearless heroes! The Queen of Starfall's willingness to sacrifice alone has surpassed most people in the world... Is there anything more ironic than this? The goal that I am proud of is set by the witch that I am hostile to; the transformation ritual that I yearn for is just a body for the witch to use; even the reason why the world has become what it is now is inseparable from the witch. .
Refute her quickly and say that these are all fake and fabricated!
Although there was a voice shouting in her heart, Farina opened her mouth, but no words came out.
Because there are too many details to match.
For example, there are rumors about the mysterious disappearance of the God's Punishment Warrior.
For example, a female corpse looks like it has been drained dry by something.
Such as the large monastery in the old holy city.
For example, those pure people who look just like witches...
If the lie could be so tightly integrated, it would have been hidden in the church for at least decades, and would have touched upon the core secrets of the Privy Council. At present, the only ones who can meet these conditions are probably the popes of all generations.
What's more, there is also a decisive evidence, and that is "power".
Since the ultimate goal of the God's Punishment Warrior is to fight against the devil, there is no doubt that the stronger the better. There is no doubt that intelligent beings with divine consciousness are much more powerful than beasts without consciousness - as evidenced by the fact that just two people easily conquered the Grand Duke Island Castle guarded by the Divine Punishment Warriors. If witches and the God of Punishment are so compatible, why does the church exterminate them instead of making good use of them? Even if the wild witch is extremely evil, the pure one should always be suitable.
But the fact is that there has never been a Divine Punishment Witch in Hermes.
She had already come to a conclusion in her mind.
The Pure One can be controlled with the Divine Stone.
The church has no means to restrain a divine punishment witch who is equivalent to an extraordinary person.
Therefore, no matter how strong the latter is, it will not be considered.
If the Crown Prince in the Holy City is really dedicated to humanity, she believes that there are many believers who are willing to sacrifice themselves, and it is not surprising that there are several witches among them.
However, from the beginning, the Holy City blocked this possibility.
Saving the world is not as important as they make it out to be.
...It was just like what the other party laughed at, she thought feebly. The God's Punishment Warrior was not a trump card against the devil, but a tool used to suppress witches, nothing more.
Joe was obviously aware of this contradiction. He asked carefully, "How many people like you are there in Neverwinter?"
"Hundreds of them," Zoe shrugged, "all using the bodies you contributed. Just don't make a fuss when you meet familiar people in the future."
Farina vaguely guessed the reason why Joe asked.
If one or two "sacrificial" God's Punishment Warriors could be impersonated by witches, it would be absolutely impossible for hundreds of them.
The fact that the other party can answer so calmly is itself a kind of evidence.
Not even the last bit of luck was left.
Falina felt that something in her heart was gradually leaving her.
She longed to feel wanted.
The church originally carried light and hope, and as a member of the church, she naturally shouldered these - behind her were the four kingdoms and all mankind, but now, they are peeling away bit by bit, like mottled and weathered walls. And behind the wall... there is nothing, just like the nothingness in a dream.
She had to... do something.
"The Church...the Church can change this result...put everything back on track..." Falina said with difficulty.
"What?" Zoe looked at her.
"The Divine Punishment Witch Project... needs a body, right? Only the church can provide it for you. For example, I -" she took a deep breath, "I am willing to take the lead in transformation."
"Oh?" Zoe showed a joking smile, "Even if you lose your mind?"
"Farina!" Joe shouted.
"If that can help humanity—"
In this way, light will appear behind her again, and she will still be needed——
"Interesting, mortal," but Zoe shattered her illusions mercilessly, "but the God's Punishment Witch plan has been abandoned long ago."
"Why, why?"
"Because it's useless." Zoe spread her hands and said, "Judging from the situation four hundred years ago, it might be good at fighting, but today's devil is no longer an opponent that can be defeated by divine punishment witches alone, so we They all fell to the mortal king of Graycastle, it’s that simple.”
"..." Falina opened her mouth, but she could only let out some hissing gasps.
"No matter how weak a living witch is, as long as she finds the right direction, her effect is much greater than magic blood and a body. Although His Majesty Roland discovered this, we are also very good at learning. Well, it has basically become everyone's consensus now." Zoe stood up and walked towards the door of the room, "In other words, even if you are willing to become a body, no witch will donate blood, because that is not good at all. value."
She stopped as she passed the threshold, looked back and smiled.
"Let me put it bluntly, the emergence of the church was a mistake from the beginning."
In an instant, Farina heard a crisp crackling sound.
——from her heart.
