If you are negotiating with a shop on the street, and you say, "Give me this ring for a hundred dollars." But the seller knows that the ring is worth at least a thousand, and says, "Okay, I'll give it to you, and I'll give it to you as a gift." Giveaway.”, how would you feel?
I think if the situation is normal, either you think there is something wrong with the ring itself, or you think the seller is either adulterous or stolen, or even has some conspiracy against you.
And my current feeling is roughly the same. In addition, there is the feeling of swinging a heavy stick but hitting the cotton with a hammer. I obviously prepared a lot of moves, so why did I follow so easily.
Crazy Dragon Warriors are the pinnacle creations of alchemy and dragon anthropology. They are man-made dragon veins. Without Bayer's accumulation of thousands of years and the extraordinary relationship with the dragon clan, it is impossible for super fighters to exist.
It is said that these guys are born with great strength (strength 18+), can wear super heavy armor that is impossible for ordinary people to equip, and are also equipped with a giant dragon gun and ax blade more than three meters long. Once put into the battlefield, they are irresistible killing machines. The natural defensive scales and regeneration ability of the dragon veins give the killing machine a strong ability to continue and recover on the battlefield. Once in crisis, the request to the dragon veins for power will often bring it endless potential. Continue to transform into a dragon. Bringing it new powers and stronger basic stats.
Of course, the forcedly added dragon veins also have some irresistible weaknesses. The madness of this "crazy dragon" is to remind these sturdy fighters that if they are obsessed with killing, they will never return to the human form and the possibility of human hearts. Dragon Berserkers who return from the cruelest battlefields are either transformed into monstrosities by unstoppable draconization, or lunatics who have lost their minds.
However, the Dragon Shield Defender is a completely different category from it. The Dragon Warrior is the sharpest flame spear. Then Dragon Shield Defender is the strongest ice shield.
However, unlike the wild dragon wrestlers with unusually obvious body characteristics, these defenders with heavy armor and shields are covered in armor. There is not much specific information, but as long as they play, they can often achieve amazing results. These Warriors who are good at group battles even have a record of successfully slaughtering giants with a small team of only three or five people.
And their wall shield is a full two meters high, as long as it is erected. It can form a magical defensive enchantment, and only one team can provide a wall-like defense. It is regarded as a "moving city wall".
But you get what you pay for. It is said that armor and enchanted shields are top-notch items. Each warrior is fully armed and trained, and he is worth the silver of the highest height. The entire Bayer Kingdom has about 20 war regiments and an establishment of 80,000 people.
Looks like a lot? But if you consider the status of Bayer's superpower, these 80,000 people are probably less than the private soldiers of a local lord.
therefore,
Even Bayer would not dare to invest these expensive fighters in ordinary battles, and such a national treasure could not even be handed over to any prince other than the crown prince.
But now, when I flipped through the thick training materials and alchemy formulas in my hand, I heard Heloise's appraisal data that "should be true, or it is also a research result of the same level". I also felt like I was in a dream, and the tyrant who just yelled "Give it to him, I said it. Give it to him." and reprimanded his ministers for persuading him was sitting at the table and looking at me with a smile.
"If you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you can either rape or steal."
Irrelevant idlers have been expelled, and now there are only five people at the table, and they are all familiar faces, myself, Galina, Oros, and Helente. An old butler of the court.
Looking at the smiling Auros, as if he was a profiteer who just made a lot of money. I subconsciously raised my vigilance. I don't think that a "gift from Esso" will make it lose ground, and obediently obey my blackmail.
"No compromise with terrorists" is a common practice no matter in that world. This is not because of the bargaining chips that big countries are reluctant to exchange, but because greed is endless. The success of the country will stimulate the enthusiasm for the next action, and once such a compromise is announced, it will also be a direct blow to the country's prestige, and it will expose the country's weaknesses and inadequacies.
In the international world where the rules of the jungle prevail, the financial wolves attracted by the exposed weaknesses will not be ordinary terrorists next time.
From the point of view of "I will spread the biohazard if I don't give money", my behavior this time can be included in it, so the compromise of Oros is also very puzzling. It is not that there should be no compromise, but at least it will not be so easy He handed over this obviously blackmailed treasure.
If it were me, even if I would compromise in the end, I would try various methods to make the threat person disappear, and even if I accepted the conditions, I would make additional requirements that no other additional conditions were allowed, and understand the matter at once.
"I know you are incomprehensible, but in fact, I have always been very grateful to you. I know that you have a lot of research results in alchemy research, and you also have many dragon allies. Let these materials be regarded as small gifts."
Oros started with such words, but I knew it a long time ago. After all, Yi Wenli once mentioned to me that he seemed to be very grateful to me because I let Oros get rid of the threat of Esso, but the next words, just Totally beyond my expectations.
"It's not just about the undead that I'm grateful for. I was still surprised when I learned from Miss Evenli that you lost your memory. Or, I should tell you about the seeds left behind. Emory."
The old butler in court dress was wrinkled and looked old, but he stretched out his hand, and the little golden light in it condensed and finally turned into a ball of holy light, illuminating the room.
"This is impossible!"
Pure Holy Light will not deceive people. This is indeed an excellent paladin, but what surprised me is that this Emmoye 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 Holy Light. I would praise the holy light twice, or pretend to move the corners of my mouth, just to make me look no different from other paladins. And the one in front of me, in a sense, is very similar to the way I use the holy light, he didn't chant the name of the holy light.
"Your Excellency, the first Pope, you guessed it right. What our southern sect believes in is not the God of Holy Light, but Holy Light itself. If it is seen by the Holy Church, we are the most heretics that should be eradicated."
While I was surprised by the content, I was even more surprised by the weird name.
"Master Yi Wenli also mentioned that you have lost your memory of being in Bayer. Perhaps, as the sixth-generation Pope of the Southern Sect, your successor, I should mention the great achievements you did back then... .”
then. Amidst the old man's sighs, the dusty past was gradually revealed.
The official name of the southern denomination should be "Church of Pure Holy Light". In the eyes of the senior leaders of the Holy Church, he is probably a disagreement with a little understanding of the teachings of the Holy Church, but only the core personnel of this church will know that. The difference is not one point or two points, what they believe in is not the god of holy light, but pure holy light.
Their birthplace is the king's capital of Bayer. Its founder was the "Baron Blackhand" under the pseudonym Roland Blackhand, and the establishment of the church was strongly supported by the Bayer royal family back then. From the day of its birth, this small sect has been entrusted with a unique mission by its founder - to spread the true teachings of the Holy Light and replace the increasingly decaying Templar Church.
"Today's southern sect has more than 200,000 believers, distributed in Bayer and every corner of the country. They walk in time in the name of the Holy Church, but they spread the purest teachings of the Holy Light. In fact Except for our understanding of the Holy Light, there is no obvious difference between us and ordinary Holy Light priests. I am even the former archbishop of the Church of the Holy Church in Baier Diocese. And it is precisely because of this that the old Pope will not Wage 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 the Holy Light, it seems that there is not much difference, but the practical significance is extremely huge. If the God of the Holy Light is admitted to be an omnipotent personal god as stated in his teachings, then the Holy Church will naturally With his approval, if he only recognizes the existence of the Holy Light, and thinks that the Holy Light is the source of power, an impersonal existence, then the Holy Church will naturally lose all the theocratic orthodoxy, and become a group of deceitful people. The stealer may even question the existence of the God of Holy Light as a personality god.
This is also the reason why heresy is far more dangerous than evil, and it is also the reason why Roland's demonstration in the north will shake the faith of countless clergymen.
This is a more terrifying threat to the Holy Church than the jihad itself. Therefore, after the emergency meeting of the Cardinal Archbishop, the entire country of Bayer was regarded as a heretical country. Faced with such major doctrinal differences, a jihad was launched Crusade became the only option.
Undoubtedly, Bayer, who has been judged as a heretic, is the origin of this heretical church and their natural ally. After a complete quarrel with the Church of the Holy Church, when a large number of clergy were expelled from the country, Those priests who seemed to be "remained for personal reasons" have formed a new southern church, and the pure teachings of the Holy Light have begun to spread openly, and the seeds planted by Roland that year have begun to germinate.
Even though I have no memory of that year, but thinking about it a little bit, I feel that this is exactly like Roland's handwriting back then.
Roland that year was betrayed by the Holy Light, an avenger full of hatred, an evil man who had been deprived of all his reputation, but he still retained the ability of a paladin. Used to shake the authority of the Holy Church.
And to really destroy a sect, it is extremely difficult to force 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 it would germinate, but he did There is no loss at all.
"The prophecies you left behind have all been confirmed. When the major events in the Holy Book of Revelation have been verified one after another, our beliefs have become more pious, and doubters have returned to piousness. When evil overwhelms justice, we follow your Fortunately, as you said in the prophecy, the doom in the prophecy can be avoided through our own efforts, at least we have avoided the desperate situation where countless gates of the dead are open in the land of Bayer."
Since the doctrine is to be spread, how can someone miss the most useful "prophet" status, and can write a series of prophecies casually, and the sect that regards prophecies as holy scriptures will naturally gain trust and gradually become stronger Speaking of which, this was also within Roland's expectation back then, otherwise he didn't need to pretend to be a ghost and play prophecies.
In fact, Roland is still doing the same thing now, sowing seeds everywhere, even he doesn't know if they can germinate.
But what he is facing now is not the green seed of the past, but a towering tree that has experienced two hundred years of wind and rain and gradually matured.
When the undead were raging, this southern sect became Oros' hole card and the most trustworthy object. Those paladins and priests of the Holy Light were the last vanguard in the face of the undead. This is also the root of Oros' thanks to me.
At this time, Galina and Helente on the table looked at me like they were looking at a monster. After all, the layout of hundreds of years and the predictions that have been hit every time are beyond their comprehension. The legendary story is enough to be heard as a mythical epic, but the person involved is in front of him.
"We are sure that the Prophet can defeat the evil in the shadows. In fact, the most important title is missing from the title reported by Her Majesty the Queen - the founder of the Southern Sect, our most devout prophet and guide, the day before yesterday What you did in the north made our faith more pious, and we began to preach on the mainland openly. Perhaps, this is what made those churches of false gods who stole the authority of the Holy Light angry."
Well, the eyes of the old pope are full of piety, thinking that this is part of fate, agreeing that the final day of judgment in the prophecy will come, and admitting that all bad luck can be reversed through hard work, but I am sure that Oros Speaking, it's not the same thing.
From the point of view that a good knife only needs one owner, my existence seems to be a bit of an eyesore just because of the relationship with the southern sect. Perhaps, the gift he expressed now is indeed an apology. If I fail this "test" , or today is the day of my death.
At this time, Oros, the master, smiled.
"Okay, let's not mention those who are there for now. In order to show the sincerity of the alliance, let's introduce it again. This Grand Duke Helen... In fact, he should be called Helen Milan. He is my relative. Nephew, and the only legal heir of our country, the future Emperor Bayer." (To be continued)
