Chapter 366 Good Master, Bad Master
Should we say that they are not cultists enough, or that they are too cultists?
In short, after seeing their boss being beaten to a bloody gourd, the other traitors in the hall immediately announced their unconditional surrender, and they were so happy that even the surrounding guardian knights did not react.
"You surrender, brother. If you surrender, you can't fight!"
"you……"
It was very depressing to find a high-quality sandbag with great difficulty, but the sand leaked out after just a few swings. But they were not devils, so they could only stop in frustration.
Seeing that the dust had settled, Tenis approached the nanny who had lost her human form, and inserted the scepter in her hand next to the head that had been broken into pieces and only retained a rough appearance.
"Your defeat has been decided, just say whatever you have to say."
"Ahem..."
However, what he got in exchange was that grandma opened her eyes and spat with all her strength.
It's a pity that the sound produced by the hot mouth is already very difficult, and how can it complete the full set of loading and launching actions?
Therefore, the mouthful of blood foam failed to fire at all, and exploded directly in the barrel, which was meaningless except for making her choke.
The pool of blood under her body expanded due to her uncontrollable coughing. The severe pain made her tremble all over, but she still gritted her teeth after she recovered.
"I will never betray my gods!"
However, before he finished speaking, a voice came from under the high platform.
"Okay, if you don't rebel, I will rebel first!"
? ? ?
Mammy forcibly controlled her head and turned her gaze away, only to find that it was a traitor whom she had personally led, and who usually treated her like a filial mother.
And it wasn't just him, no matter how he behaved in daily life, everyone in the audience started to make noises.
"Sir, I will tell you everything. I just hope you can survive!"
"I don't want to betray, they forced me. In fact, I have always wanted to contact you all!"
"Please, I still have an eight-year-old mother and a seventy-eight-year-old child at home!"
Grandma's eyes widened with anger, and her blood loss suddenly accelerated.
After taking a few deep breaths, he lay down again and screamed at the ceiling.
"I'll say it first, it's not their turn! I know more, and I'll do it all!"
Earl Guard:? ? ?
Guardian Knight:? ? ?
"Brother, you are from the church. What happened to them?"
"I don't know, they seem to suddenly start competing with who can explain it faster?"
Seeing that all the prisoners had surrendered, the Earl quickly found Tenis and said that as a local lord, he would fully cooperate with them to kill the shadow cultists and apostates.
"I understand what you mean, but the most important thing now is to quickly find out what is going on behind the scenes in your territory."
Therefore, Tenis originally wanted to imprison all the apostates in the dungeon of the castle for interrogation, but in order to avoid alerting the enemy, it was decided to complete it directly under the church.
As for those believers who didn't know the truth and came to the church as usual to pray to the sun or the deer head, they were persuaded to retreat outside the church by the guardian knights, accompanied by a few particularly well-behaved prisoners.
"There will be a big day in a few days. Lord God wants to take special care of us, the Wind Shadow Leader. Now, Grandma is leading everyone to make preparations."
"No, no, no, we have enough manpower. Look, the archbishop is here to help."
"Look how happy I am smiling, haha, don't worry, it will reopen in two days."
…
It can only be said that surrender is a habit. As long as it happens once or twice, it will happen three or four times.
Therefore, in the basement, the apostates who had betrayed the "church" for the first time were very efficient in explaining the situation.
There is almost no need to ask, and he will tell you everything he knows like pouring beans. He wishes he could make a documentary of his surprise when he first learned that his relatives and friends had converted to evil gods.
So much so that what the interrogators need to worry about is not how to pry open their mouths, but how to stop their meaningless chattering.
By the evening of that day, the count's civilian staff had obtained all the testimonies and summarized them, and the conclusions they reached were quite astonishing.
In the entire Wind Shadow Territory, except for those newcomers who have just converted and are still in the observation period, almost all Holy Light believers have been corrupted.
Turnis held the investigation report and wandered alone in the church corridor for a long time.
If she had watched a certain classic Korean drama, she would probably have sighed, "How did the church become like this?"
If she had watched a certain classic British drama, she would have understood why Humphrey said, "You can't check everything, you might find something."
But she is just an old lady from another world, so there is only one thing she can say.
"Why are they still alive? They can all be slaughtered!"
But there was no point in venting her anger verbally, killing alone would not solve the problem, so at dawn the next day, the first words she said after returning to the church hall were.
"I'm not leaving yet."
In his previous career as a doctor, Ji Ming had developed a habit of going to bed late and getting up early. I don't know whether it's good or bad, but it's hard to judge.
So he was sitting in the hall holding an alchemy book, pretending to be studying, but actually browsing the player forum, when he heard Tenis's whisper.
The main reason why Ji Ming followed them north to the royal capital was to spread out the players' map in the kingdom area.
Now that players have the entire southern part of the kingdom as a stage, the area is sufficient, so he doesn't care much about whether to leave or stay.
But there is one thing that Ji Ming has been wondering about for a long time. Although it is not important, since people have mentioned it, it is better to ask a little.
"Haha, I followed everyone to go, in fact, I mainly want to see the customs and customs of the Kingdom of Glow, so I don't care much about this matter."
"But if I remember correctly, the main purpose of this caravan should be to let Eleanor return to the capital to handle urgent matters. Now two weeks have passed, is it okay?"
Tennes looked around and made sure that no one noticed this place, and whispered.
"The royal family has a little change, so the point is not that she returns to the capital, but to tell them that she is returning to the capital."
Ji Ming understood.
"I understand. Just showing this attitude is enough, right?"
"Yes."
The royal family's affairs are nothing more than the trivial matter of inheritance rights. Since they know it well and don't need to consult, Ji Ming is too lazy to ask in detail.
As for why Tenis chose to stay in Fengying Territory temporarily, it is also very simple. Since almost all the local believers are corrupted, the local church must have been paralyzed.
So before the support from other dioceses arrives, they are the only holy light force in Fengying Territory, and they are the only ones who can deal with the weird and other churches.
Let alone, if the Shadow Church wants to rescue people or cause trouble in the future, they will just pat the drum and leave. Isn't it pure trouble for Earl Fengying?
And...
The princess was assassinated by the Jungle Church in Jueqiao Pass, and the God's Chosen was assassinated by the Shadow Church in Fengying Territory. As a dignified archbishop, Tenis has been sweating profusely.
It stands to reason that such things can happen in the place where the church's power should be the strongest. It seems that the problem in the south is not ordinary. The sooner we take action, the sooner we can put an end to the disaster.
Therefore, she had to face it this time, having still had a fluke last time. After writing an urgent letter to the Holy Mountain to request support, she began to contact the bishops in the surrounding areas.
According to the regulations of the Holy See, they were temporarily ordered to obey their orders, start self-inspection as soon as possible, and send people to help.
This time, there was finally some good news. The Shadow Church was relatively cautious. It seemed that the main business in this area was only the Wind Shadow Territory, and it did not dare to get involved in too many places.
Even if there were hidden Shadow believers in other parishes, they were spread privately by relatives and friends to the general believers. A little publicity about the harm of the evil god would change it.
Moreover, after encountering this disaster, the Shadow Church also began to shrink strategically. A few parishes where they opened offices were also deserted after the angry monks went to search.
But not having more does not mean that you can rest easy. Reversing the existing ones is the top priority, so the Holy Light monks had to visit various villages to see if it is possible to cut off their foundation.
This includes Ji Ming, who originally planned to fish for a few days.
"Wait, why is it including me? I can't even recite a few sentences!"
Tenness: "Because you are good-looking, everyone wants to see you. As long as you speak, they don't know whether they believe it or not, but they will definitely listen."
So it's the fault of the personal IP...
But this is not my fault. I have tried very hard to suppress the increase in charm!
There is no other way, Ji Ming had to take a few knights to the villages assigned to him.
The mountain road is difficult to walk, and he definitely can't take a carriage again. After riding for a long time, he finally saw a group of thatched wooden houses located in the gullies.
...Oh, thinking back to the past, it seems that I was almost fooled by my college roommate to take the civil service exam. This time I skipped the exam and directly experienced daily life.
It seems that no matter where the village is, there will always be a few people waiting at the door, who may be children, fools, or old people, but in short, they are used as sentries.
So after seeing a large group of white-robed priests riding horses turning out from the distant mountain bend, a few little kids with snotty noses immediately screamed and ran back to the village.
"It's the master from the city, Grandpa Village Chief, the master is coming!"
The village suddenly became an ant nest that was poked by someone, and the sound of people packing things, closing doors and calling children home was endless.
The knights who defended the church were dumbfounded when they saw this, thinking that the main activity funds of our church came from killing weirdos and donations from rich people.
There are taxes, but the amount is so small that it is just symbolic. Why are they so scared?
So they slowly clenched their fists, thinking that it might be that the shadows were born, and they made money for themselves in the name of holy light!
They were all planning to go back and abuse lynching and kill this evil spirit, but things suddenly took a turn.
"Damn boy, did I teach you to read and write in vain? You can't even tell the difference between the church master and the noble master?"
An old gentleman dressed more decently appeared in the center of the village, dragging a crying child, and raised his other hand to shout.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. It's the good master of the church. Come out."
The screams turned into cheers. The villagers were eager to welcome the king's army with food and drink, and the knights were embarrassed.
Ji Ming thought of more and figured out why the players were able to expand so quickly in the south.
Even the slightly human Earl Fengying can almost stop the children from crying at night in the countryside under the intervention of the Shadow Church. What about those nobles who do everything to make money?
In comparison, even if they still want their labor, they only let them do some complicated work such as weaving and delivery, and they also provide food, accommodation and wages. They are indeed rare "good masters".
Following this line of thought, even if the local monks are infiltrated by the Shadow Church, they still maintain the church's past tall image, and it is understandable that they have such high popularity and prestige in the hearts of the villagers.
There is no other, this is the correct answer.
But the correct answer is the correct answer, and this "answer" can only be written by me, so Ji Ming chose to "take action brazenly" after being welcomed to the center of the village by the village chief.
And this move can only be said to be a professional counterpart, and a few words shocked the simple villagers.
In terms of the degree of understanding, Ji Ming, who had played against Him many times, should be the one who understood Old Sheephead the most in the Holy Light Church, so he just opened his mouth and piled all the shortcomings and virtues of the Wolf King Court on the head of the Shadow Church.
This is not unfair. Old Sheephead is the national teacher of the Wolf King, which means he is a master who gives advice. How dare he say that the pile of skeletons under his command did not have the corpses of enemies picked up from the battlefield?
But even so, among the villagers who were amazed and believed in him, there were still a few stubborn people with gloomy faces.
If it weren't for the fact that the Chosen One was good-looking and spoke well, and seeing him more might prolong his life, he should have stood up and refuted loudly, and objected to the end of time.
So this is not a problem that can be solved by simple talk therapy, Ji Ming must come up with something more practical.
"I don't know how much you know about me. In fact, in addition to being the Chosen One of Holy Light, my most proud identity should be a doctor."
-There is nothing to say, just show me my holy deeds.
Moreover, he is no longer the "knife doctor" who can only clean, suture and apply medicine.
With human body alchemy as the knowledge base, he can talk about almost any disease, and he has cured countless hidden diseases and old injuries on the spot.
"A miracle doctor!"
Now even the stubborn elements have to admit it. After all, no matter how good the Shadow Church is at pretending, it is impossible to have professionals who can use rejuvenation liquid and alchemy at the same time.
There were poor people who tried to find them for treatment, but...
"Sorry, I can't do it. I can't do it. Even wormwood can't do it."
And since they were not called to the church by the nanny to fight the battle of faith, it means that the purity of their faith and strength is too low.
Why should they fight for the immediate interests for something they don't care about? What's more, they cured their happiness in the second half of their lives.
"God's choice, I was wrong, I was wrong, please see if there is a recipe for happier, even a little happier is fine, please, please, please QWQ."
Ji Ming (Sweating Soybean Special Edition): "That's enough."
