Chapter 537

When living in a big town, Anika's information sources were very narrow, and she did not encounter major events. In addition, her own cognitive level was not high. Therefore, although she vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the church, she could not give a detailed summary if asked. This is why.

Until the tide of darkness broke out, Anika felt it firsthand and finally saw a dark side of the church.

That is, when the people need support and help the most, the church not only cannot help them hold up an umbrella to protect them from wind and rain, but instead uses the people as consumables.

Just like the fall of the big town, when evil men broke in from the east, west, north and south gates and burned and killed them all, some people from the church had already left together with the elite among the powerful.

The rest also huddled together and let the people suffer the pain of massacre to release the evil people's excited evil desires, and then broke out at the appropriate time.

This was not because Anika had wronged them. She went on a rampage and killed her relatives. When she regained consciousness, she was already in the late stages of the town's fall. Moreover, she was so distraught that she even thought about dying.

It was Ophelia who discovered her when she was organizing Ding Zhuang's breakout, and then pulled her to run away with her.

As a result, we saw that the remaining members of the church and the powerful were also trying to break out.

At that time, the evil people had already surrounded them, and the people from the church did a very shameless thing, which was to bless the Ding Yongs with divine power.

This certainly brings certain benefits to Ding Yong, but Ding Yong is not a paladin, nor is he a peripheral thug like the Knights of Iris who masters interactively gifted magic weapons or even techniques. The effect of increasing the sacred power is not very good. play.

However, from an evil person's perspective, it is more cost-effective to kill units blessed by divine power. After all, most of the evil people's technologies come from demons, and demons and the Church of the Gods are mortal enemies. Killing units blessed by divine power is tantamount to pleasing the demons.

The remaining members of the church and dignitaries gave themselves buffs for defense and escape, allowing Ding Yong to cut off their rear in disguise and gain time to escape.

The evil people had already enjoyed the killing and were about to complete the phased tasks. Naturally, they would not leave the easy-to-kill ones alone and kill the difficult ones.

In the end, she was forced to explode and was able to protect some people and escape with their lives.

Then there was the settlement of the Black Pine Camp.

And if it is unfair to say that the clergy of the big town can only represent a part of the church, then in Dawn City, she has seen another kind of evil.

The well-known ascetic monks, at critical moments, for the sake of the gods they believe in, would rather wipe out the credibility they have accumulated over the years, deceive the people, and make them miss their last chance to survive.

At that time, Anika was in an emotional state and just felt angry. Later, she calmed down and thought about the matter again, and she felt she had understood. The clergy, whether they are bad or good, are the enemies of the people and do not regard the people as human beings.

With such a prejudice, Anika immediately believed Morgana when she spoke ill of the clergy, including such unbelievable things as deceiving the gods they believed in.

And since I believe this, then there is a basis for the threat Morgana said to be mutual.

Next, the team marched and arrived at Riverbend Castle after Noon.

Riverbend Fort can be called the northern gate of Gaoting City. The most important Northland Avenue and the Xiangshui River flowing through Gaoting City intersect here. Usually, a military nobleman leads more than a hundred off-duty troops to garrison here.

By interrogating the orderlies, Morgana and others learned that the Iris Knights had been staying at Riverbend Castle for three days, originally intending to use it as a fulcrum to collect food nearby.

The result was very unsatisfactory, so they had to send their troops north and try to "beat jujube" farther away.

The military aristocrat guarding the Riverbend Fort was called Gronn, and he was named a Lord. His experience was quite legendary. He was originally a savage from the North, but was captured and became a slave gladiator.

This guy just relied on killing to change his destiny. He was promoted several times and became a noble. However, he also got the name of the Butcher of Highgarden because most of the people he slaughtered were ordinary people.

The official rhetoric is to counter rebellion and rebellion, but people at the bottom know exactly what is going on.

Anika rejected this kind of people and their minions from the bottom of her heart. In addition, she was already in a bad mood due to the abandonment of the caravan members, and she heard from the orderlies that these guys were suspected of cannibalism, so she immediately took the initiative Take action,

Plan to eradicate them all.

However, Hei Luobo returned in time and said to Anika: "These guys involve a barbarian demigod. I will deal with them. You go through the motions and declare victory."

When Hei Luobo made a move, he naturally killed the chicken with a knife, without any suspense, efficiently and neatly, and quickly handled it.

Then Hei Luobo disappeared again, and he went to find trouble with the barbarian demigod.

At the same time, Anika, who was just going through the motions, saw Goron's slaughterhouse, meat warehouse and canteen, and was so angry that she almost broke her teeth.

Although Hei Luobo mentioned to her that Goron and his gang would be worse than death, she was still angered by their bloody, dark and cruel actions.

And soon, the evil fire was turned on the head of the church. After all, the powerful are puppets supported by the church. Since Gron was made a lord, it is most likely that the church is rewarding this vicious dog.

And just looking at what he did in Reach Castle, it's not hard to imagine what's behind the 'Butcher of Highgarden'.

What a pile of corpses.

The church actually allowed such butchers to do so many cruel and violent things. It is simply more evil than the devil.

Soon after, Morgana and others were also frightened by those scenes.

Then there were the orderlies who were ordered to clean up the mess. Many of them were so stimulated that they vomited on the spot, and two were so frightened that they temporarily went insane. I believe those scenes will become an unforgettable nightmare for the rest of their lives.

According to the additional explanations of the orderlies, during the three days that the Knights of Iris stayed in Riverbend Fort, they went to nearby farms to try to collect grain during the day and rushed back to Riverbend Fort in the evening.

Therefore, he did not face the situation of Goron's gang killing and cannibalizing people.

Of course they smelled the meat, and some couldn't help but murmur about it.

Or the knights let it slip, joking and scolding: "That meat is not something people like you can swallow."

In addition, the meat has a special aroma, unlike the poultry or game that people are familiar with, so some people started thinking,

Said: "Could it be cannibalism?"

As for the reason for cannibalism, the reason is simple. If the food is contaminated by typhoid rats, then it can only eat people who have not yet been infected.

Pity these victims, they did not die under the deathly cold rain and the demonic plague, but their ending was even worse.

While Anika was filled with anger, she also missed the Sarah she met in the Castle of the Damned.

She felt that if Sarah were here, using the life magic of stimulating plants to purify Reach Castle, it would be able to remove people's mental pollution to a considerable extent. Otherwise, she would be really fed up in her heart. She always felt that this castle was like a hell prison + a cesspit, and dirty. It was so scary that I didn’t want to stay any longer.

And although she can even absorb holy light, she does not have such skills.

"The essence of extraordinary is that all wishes come true. Specifically, there are three elements, strong desire, determination to achieve the goal, and confidence in oneself and strength. You figure it out for yourself." Hei Luobo reminded Anika like this, Let her create her own techniques.

After all, now that Anika has crossed the threshold of legend, all she needs is a certificate of legend.

The core essence of legendary evidence is the staged summary, display, and anchor point establishment of one's own path.

From the ordinary to the extraordinary, being able to do what ordinary people cannot, and using extraordinary means, this is the establishment of the anchor point in the first stage, like a milestone, an inscription, to facilitate self-positioning.

The legendary certificate is a milestone that starts another higher-level journey. Therefore, the pursuit of cattle by Legendary Evidence is not mainly to show off, but to self-explain the potential of the future and strengthen the confidence to continue climbing upward.

After all, things get slower and more difficult as time goes by. Often, no obvious progress can be seen for years, ten years, or even decades. We may even regress due to failed attempts. We watch our lifespan gradually end, but our phased goals remain the same. Can't see the dawn, the kind of suffering is unimaginable to ordinary people, lack of confidence, most likely it is really sinking, and there is no chance at all.

But Anika's situation is special.

Her path has been planned for a long time. If there is any obstacle, it is because her self-awareness and self-positioning are not in place.

Hei Luobo originally wanted to break through the desperate situations again and again through the great terror between life and death.

This method worked well before, but it consumed some endogenous motivation. So much so that Anika was not allowed to slow down and gather her strength.

As a result, she encountered the special supernatural stimulation of the Holy Infant's hand of light. Anika's talent and luck were both online and she successfully passed this level.

So she is now a child who dances with a broadsword. The sword is enough, and improving her spiritual realm is the most important thing.

Anika still listened to Black Rob's words, and realized the truth on the spot, turning her disgust for this castle into desire and determination.

When Morgana and the others saw this, they naturally turned on the guardian mode with a tacit understanding and strictly prohibited interruption.

And Anika didn't keep them waiting.

In less than half an hour, the wings of light whiskers suddenly changed and became thicker and longer, directly penetrating the rock wall of the castle without causing damage, as if these lights were operating in another dimension.

field!

To be in a world of its own means to have distorted views.

As the only natural spokesperson of this era, Anika's blessings from the laws of heaven can be described as direct support.

In this regard, Hei Luobo cannot compare. Although he is the chief designer and even the chess player himself, he is also a foreigner and a collaborator.

And Anika is the rice shovel that matches the big pot of this world.

The twelve light whisker wings vibrated, turning into more shadows of the wings, and these shadows quickly solidified,

And split into thousands of tentacles.

Then these tentacles began to entwine and weave, as if they were trying to use this light to weave a basket to contain the entire castle.

This is not Hei Luobo's fault.

This was Anika's imitation after seeing Sarah decorate the tower of the Cursed Castle with plant vines. Her knowledge was still too shallow. Even if she was just making a dream, the available materials were very limited, so she could only start with crude plagiarism.

But the effect was very good. After all, Anika actually already had the strength of the legendary level, but she couldn't use it effectively.

But now that the thought is in place, it is a veritable legendary power, combining the domain and the castle.

The entire castle is vibrating in the flow of light, and you can even clearly see that every brick and stone is being fine-tuned.

Reposition yourself.

And when this spectacular and gorgeous scene was over, Morgana swore with her eyesight that had been trained for many years that the castle seemed to have been refined. It was two times smaller, but it was obviously more compact, and it felt extremely solid when looking at it. .

"Lady Anika, you are really good at creating miracles."

Jared nodded when he heard this: "Everything must be reversed when it reaches its extreme. I think she is the child of destiny who was born in response to the dark tide."...—

At the same time, the world guardian Hei Luobo, who single-handedly facilitated the birth of the Son of Destiny, has found the barbarian demigod behind Goron.

"Elven Grand Duke Villarian, I am not surprised to see you in this era."

Villarian, the culprit who caused the death of the God of Nature, spoke from his heart: "I'm not surprised. I have been waiting for this moment, waiting for you."

Hei Luobo smiled and said: "Let me guess, you hope that I can take action to assist the elves in their rebirth.

At least give them a chance. "

"Yes."

"Okay, I agree."

Villarian was very strange. The rhetoric he had prepared for more than seven thousand years was completely useless, so that at this moment, he didn't know what to say.

It took a while before he said, "Why?"

"If I tell you, your end will be a very complete death in my hands. Even so, do you still have to ask?"

"Yes." Villarian responded without any hesitation: "The only purpose of my life is to fight for a chance for the elves. In order to ensure that it is true and effective, I will die without regrets."

"Well, I will transmit this memory to your tribe in the future. Not to let your tribe remember your greatness, but just to let them remember that even though you have made many mistakes, at least you are loyal to the tribe."

"Thanks.""

"You're welcome. Okay, let me answer your question. The reason why I am willing to give the elves a chance is

It's because I don't think it's a good thing that there are only humans in this world.

Therefore, even if the awakened God of Nature no longer needs the elves, I will still let them walk on the earth again——"

Beings like Heirobo and Villarian naturally have ways to distinguish between true and false words and intentions.

The key is that you can question the other party's character, but you don't have to question the other party's IQ. When the cost of breaking the oath is much higher than the cost of fulfilling the oath, the deal is worth making.

Of course, nothing is absolute, and risks still exist, but if that low-probability situation really happens, you can only sigh that fate is playing tricks on people.

Just like Villarian back then, if he had known that the Elf King and the God of Nature had joined forces to bring in foreigners from more than 10,000 years ago with a very small probability, and almost succeeded in saving the world, then at least he would not be in a hurry to carry it out. Stab the God of Nature, but give it another steady wave to see the effect.

Unfortunately, although time travel gives history a 'what if', this top-notch method is not in his hands. All he could do was try to make amends.

Villarian has always been a decisive person. This time, he chose to use everything as a bargaining chip to put pressure on Hei Luobo.

Although Villarian does not have a heart of nature, his "human race bag" is more carefully prepared than the Elf King.

After all, he had already started preparing when the elves were still an empire. During that time, the Elf King was busy turning the tide, and later he was busy taking in the old and young, and re-establishing the country in the far north.

Moreover, the bond between the Elf royal family and the God of Nature is too deep. It can be said that every generation of Elf kings and queens,

They are both the Patriarch and the Mortal Holy Spirit (mascot) of the Church of God of Nature.

Also, the more precarious the situation, the more likely it is that there will be many shallow tortoises and all of them are big brothers.

Elf dignitaries who held different opinions often had conflicts with the Elf King.

This is doomed to the fact that although the Elf King is also continuing to prepare for rainy days in the longer-term population, his concentration is much worse.

Because of this, Villarian had everything ready in the end, all he needed was 'encapsulation'.

But now, the elven resurrection seeds that had been prepared with all the energy and time were all handed over to Hei Luobo's hands.

Herobo also fulfilled his promise and made Villarian disappear completely.

"Elf, this chess piece alone is not worth it. The dwarves should also be fished out of the sand of time." Hei Luobo was planning his big chess piece——
