Chapter 539
Avini created a law-level supernatural art, which solved two problems at once.
The first is to alleviate the spiritual pollution caused by the cannibalism in River Bay Castle.
The second is the problem of evil erosion represented by the rain of death and cold.
From a more professional perspective, the tide of darkness set off by the King of Destruction, one of the three kings of the newly ascended Dark Hell, can be divided into two parts.
The first is the darkness itself. This can be said to be an outbreak of long-term accumulation. In comparison, the gods are the culprit.
If it were not for their long-term distortion, the way of heaven would not be embodied in the God of Nature to try to reverse it, and if the God of Nature had not fallen, the balance between light and darkness would not have been so unbalanced to the current point.
Therefore, the ascendance of the King of Destruction and the rise of the tide of darkness are based on the fact that this world is an alternative cesspool with sufficient methane.
The second is evil. The concept of evil is like a type of plant. The crops are all dependent on manure. The hotbed of darkness can breed many types of negative concepts, evil is just one of them, and others include chaos, decay, secrets, etc.
Evil is irregular, and the unusual is unconventional. The combination of the two is bad and weird.
The reason why such a flower blooms is also the gods' fault. For this world, the gods can be said to be the long-term infringement of the outer god plundering gang.
The outer gods themselves represent non-native irregularity and uncommonness. It is like the species invasion that modern people on Earth can understand, but it destroys more than just the ecological balance.
With the fall of the God of Nature, this world is equivalent to completely losing the maintenance worker of the circulation system.
The rest is to operate according to inertia, and this operation is distorted by the gods.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the evil will become bigger, and the siphon effect, acceleration, and explosion will occur in the later stage.
As the big guy in the son, Anika became a favored person, representing the self-rescue instinct of this world.
Of course, with her ability, the anti-darkness and anti-evil power she can create is too weak and shallow.
To save the world, it is not even a drop in the bucket, but only a spark in the darkness.
It is said that a spark can start a prairie fire, but in fact, for a spark to start a prairie fire, the weather must be dry and the grass must be dry and the trees must be rotten.
From this perspective, the current world does not meet the standard.
The Knights' soldiers enjoy the good things brought by Anika, but they don't appreciate it in their hearts. Their hearts have been seriously distorted and poisoned, and they have long been numb.
Simply put, they are shameless and have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, but their moral level is hard to describe. To describe them as "flexible bottom line" is to overestimate them.
When Hei Luobo returned, these people were making a fire.
This fire was not ordinary, it was fueled.
This is one of their means to resist the rain of death and cold.
The church will not give them the same level of magic tools as the amulets worn by the knights.
The ones they use are much inferior, but better than the ones the church gives to the pan-believers.
At least they can be used for a long time. The pan-believers' amulets are based on special paper as the carrier,
which is easy to damage and has a shorter validity period.
And even if they use this, it cannot completely solve the erosion of the rain of death and cold. The flames with fuel,
become A link to fill the gap.
Hei Luobo secretly observed for a while and saw the doorway in it. It must be said that there are certain merits.
In addition, his understanding of the church and even the technology and path of the gods has deepened.
He found that the gods, as beings that also use the laws of the dark side and extraordinary power, have characteristics similar to the devil.
Order, fraud, slavery------the gods have deeply cultivated these law fields and have achieved a high level of attainment, but the laws of chaos, destruction, power, which are more demonic, have only been explored but not deeply.
And Anika, who received a wave of implicit flattery from Jared and Morgana's organization not long ago, was in high spirits and expressed her intention to continue to work hard to consolidate the technique.
So, in the southwest of the castle The town area became the new pilot object.
The effect was still outstanding. The evil power was completely eradicated. The materials of the land and houses were purified by a wave of natural power. Then, through adaptation, a certain degree of adjustment and rest, they changed from being tattered to 80% new.
Seeing that she was very interested, Hei Luobo took the opportunity to give her some pointers, such as telling her the cost of casting spells, the condensation of the power of laws, the conversion of extraordinary power, and even several types of physical states of extraordinary power.
For example, he pointed out the difficulty and risk of compound magic, as well as the consumption, and told her what the razor law was. It was simple and effective.
Anika was like a child who learned a new way to play with a toy. She didn't listen to the advice much, but she listened to the splitting suggestion.
Soon, the net She divided the transformation and repair into two spells. Sure enough, it was more arbitrary to perform, with less consumption and better effect.
In this way, when Anika had enough fun, River Bay Castle had completely turned into a piece of pure land in the dark and withered environment. Many places even had new green, lawns, vines, and some small flowers.
This scene was really shocking, and the praise from Jared, Morgana and others was more sincere.
But in the eyes of Hei Luobo, this was still far from enough.
First of all, this can only be regarded as a barely wetland, up and down + all directions, erosion all the time, and this spell can't be maintained for a long time, and it's probably shorter than the shelf life of fresh flowers.
Secondly, it is good for the surface and doesn't pay attention to the inside. It can be said that it is the appearance party of the extraordinary technology version.
It is not impossible to fight against the whole world, but you must have the concept of production and transformation. Even if it is not possible, you must also know how to feed war with war.
Like Anika now, she belongs to her own family, a false savior + a reserve virgin. If you continue like this, you will eventually fall into a state of self-movement and betrayal.
However, Hei Luobo had no intention of dissuading him.
He was indeed taming the lion, but who Anika eventually became was beyond his taming. He also doesn't care whether Anika's life experience is happy or painful.
The attractive fresh meat in his hands is limited, and Anika's acceptance is also limited.
Therefore, focus on the main direction derived from achieving the goal.
This is like a knife that needs to be sharp enough, but if it is too brittle it will break, if it is too thin it will curl, these are not considerations. If it is to highlight a sharp edge, if it can meet the standard in this aspect, then it will be K.
Anika finally remembered what Black Robbo told him about downloading the dungeon after midnight. After she was satisfied with the cleanup of Riverbend Castle, she ate the meal specially prepared for her by the caravan alone, and then went to the castle. Best room to rest in.
Jared and Morgana were discussing something that was not convenient for Anika to hear.
"The Bishop of the Church of Light, Fan Lundin, of Highgarden City, asked Uriah to spread the word that if she is willing to do something dirty to Anika, not only will she be freed from her previous sins, but she will also gain both fame and fortune."
Uriah is a fellow in the caravan and a devout believer in the God of Light.
Jared and Morgana are both pan-believers, and the reason why they recruit devout believers can be said to be out of complex and practical considerations. To understand it simply, it is similar to a business company arranging for relatives of officials to join the company and receive high salaries.
But now, the devout believers have become the mouthpiece, and negotiations have begun in the air.
Morgana said with a bit of sarcasm: "I thought they would come to the city and show their saints in front of people.
Then start negotiations. "
Jared answered seriously: "The city lord would do that, and the church's high-level military would do that.
Valentin won't.
Valentin is very good at maintaining his own image. Whenever he shows up, things will be done. "
Morgana followed the idea provided by Jared: "So those glorious deeds of Valentin were actually confirmed first and then went through the motions."
Jared nodded: "Yes, that's his style."
"What about us? They don't want to come. Going to Highgarden is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap. We can't just waste time here, right?"
Jared asked, "Why not? I am now basically certain that the church is more anxious than us."
Morgana took a deep breath, and her right hand unconsciously rubbed the weight on the top of the hilt of her sword.
Said: "My opinion is different from yours. Your conclusion is more derived from Fan Lundin's stable image in the past and his initiative to negotiate with us this time.
It's not business that's catching up. Valentine took the initiative and proved to be the more urgent party. "
"Yes, that's how I analyzed it. It seems that your conclusion is from another perspective."
"That's right, I'm speaking from a supernatural perspective. Anika is so special—"
Morgana did not have an in-depth chat, but the two had a basis for communication in this area before. The concept of 'nature's favored one' had already been deposited in Jared shortly after Anika succeeded in condensing and transformed into an angel. in mind.
Jared has traveled far and wide, and has a relatively deep understanding of the legends of elves and the evil gods of the wilderness preached by the church.
The church stigmatizes the God of nature from the perspective of chaos, heterogeneity, and injustice.
This is actually the reverse operation of Hei Luobo's understanding of the gods in the context of success in the fields of order, fraud, and slavery.
According to the church, the god of nature advocates chaos and allows everything from plants to animals to grow wildly.
It has brought endless turmoil to the world, and the weak do not even deserve to live.
Also, the god of nature is a alien god of elves. He hates humans and has no interest in understanding humans. He favors elves too much and favors others. This is called unfair.
Of course, there are other charges as well. But the main thing is to focus on these three points. No matter how much, it will easily distract the attention. Moreover, with the actual situation of human illiteracy rate reaching over 95%, it will be difficult to remember if it is complicated. Just tell me that I despise human beings, the god of alien species, and like chaos. , that’s enough.
Jared has more channels for understanding information, and over time, he has sorted out his own set of cognitions. Basically, I have touched the logical door of "winner becomes king and loser defeats bandits".
The reason why he was able to do this was not only the knowledge that strengthened his thinking ability and simple dialectical thinking, but also the understanding that "the gods are not that good".
Based on his personal experience and what he saw and heard, the first thing he exposed was the hypocrisy of the church clergy.
From the very beginning, some clergy were evil, to later they were all evil, and then to all the churches being the same.
Then, from the evil of the clergy, obviously to the crooked upper beam and crooked lower beam, the gods themselves are hypocritical. The gods are not that good. The corresponding god of nature who has been blackmailed for thousands of years is probably not that bad. .
Coupled with the principle that 'too close creates right and wrong, and distance creates beauty', Jared has a largely imaginary and illusory admiration, sympathy, and even expectation for the God of Nature.
And Anika's performance just catered to this kind of better imagination hidden deep in his heart. Jared became more and more aware that the so-called evil god of the wilderness was most likely a stigma attached.
The nature of the death of the God of Nature is most likely the God version of bad money expelling good money.
Because of this cognitive background, Jared understood what Morgana meant when she mentioned it:
The human representative of the God of Nature appeared, which has a certain probability of meaning the revival or return of the God of Nature.
This kind of event that can threaten the gods and the gods' rule is far more important than personal gains and losses, or the gains and losses of a city or a place.
In the face of such an important matter, sayings like "whoever speaks first at the negotiation table is at a disadvantage" are just negotiation tricks, which are insignificant compared to the main topic.
Jared had a gloomy face, took out his pipe, lit a pot, and started smoking.
Without Morgana saying anything more, he fell into a struggle between heaven and man.
And what made him ponder was just one question: Who will be the winner, Anika or the church?
That's right, morality has never been his option.
It's not groundless that Herobo commented that the human beings in this world are shameless.
Anika's kindness is the result of the innocence of a child that has not completely faded away, and the longing for beauty, ignorance + rebellion, which is the product of a mentality that instinctively fights against the dark and cruel environment of the moment after suffering.
And the mainstream humans of this era, if not all of them are evil, then they don't have many moral concepts.
And Jared and Morgana seem to be kind because they have more social skills than ordinary people,
and have tasted the sweetness in this regard, so they consciously use kindness as a tool.
Before, standing on Anika's side was either because Anika was judged to be the winner, or because there was no power to choose at all.
Now, if the combat power that the church can mobilize at the current stage of the incident is capped at the level of Valentine, the bishop of the High Court Church of Light, then he may dare to continue to bet that Anika can win the battle.
But when he realized that Anika's backer was the enemy of the gods, and the church's attitude towards her was mostly to kill her quickly before she grew up, regardless of the cost, he had no hope that Anika could achieve the final victory.
Morgana didn't hang Jared for too long, and had to wait for him to say the unjust words in person before continuing the discussion. Morgana said another slightly more professional sentence through the lingering smoke: "With my ability, I can't sign a sufficiently effective extraordinary contract. At least if the gods violate it, the cost is nothing at all."
"Puff!" Jared exhaled a puff of smoke dejectedly, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.
What can ants decide about the fight between elephants? It's best to stay away from it and don't participate.
But if you are already deeply involved, it seems that no matter what you choose, it will be suffering and tragedy.
After a long while, Jared collected his emotions and calmed down again. He asked: "So what do you mean? "
Morgana's eyes were filled with flames as she spoke in a sonorous voice: "Let's discuss with Anika to see if we can set up a trap. If Valentine cannot pass on effective intelligence to higher levels of the church, perhaps we will have a chance to rescue our family and complete the asylum before the incident really gets out of control. No matter how big the commotion gets in the future, it will have nothing to do with us! "
Jarid understood the key point of this plan in seconds. Valentine's reason for inciting them to rebel and attack Anika was obviously selfish, wanting to get the job done by his own means and gain great credit.
Otherwise, Valentine's approach should be to receive the report of the escaped Knights of the Iris, confirm the authenticity through divine magic, and communicate with the devout believer Yulia to verify, and then, with a serious attitude of not letting go of the wrong person, he would directly report to the church headquarters that a spokesperson suspected of being the enemy of the gods had appeared.
By then, it would be a different scene.
It was precisely because Valentine was selfish that the two of them had a chance to gamble. They bet that through acting and a powerful sneak attack, Anika could suppress Valentine in time and take down Highgarden City in one fell swoop.
