Game of Destiny: This player is different.

In addition, human beings killed by strange demons will also become strange demons, and their strength depends on their strength in life.

It's an endless loop. "

Su Marie frowned slightly: "Then stop using the blessing ability? But the church should be reluctant to give up this ability."

"of course not,"

Campbell didn't miss any chance to talk to Su Marie: "Without blessings, knights, whose combat power surpasses that of humans, will disappear.

How long can an organization without force protection last?

Without blessings, what can one gain by believing in Irene? Can purely relying on faith maintain the current status of the church?

So the Church never, ever forsakes the blessing. "

Disgust flashed in her eyes——

"In order to keep their status, those bastards in the church have researched an evil ritual.

Spread the curse in the knight's body to other people by passing it on.

Although it cannot be cured, it can delay the mutation process of the knight.

And those poor people who were passed on to the curse of equal sharing are the civilians you saw.

Believers are a mine for the church to use at will. "

——and helplessness: "An inexhaustible mine of cheap people."

The atmosphere became heavy.

The four players looked at each other, and the Xindao script world was so similar to the real world.

With bitterness in his mouth, he couldn't help being curious about the baron's real purpose.

She spent so much time and energy, she probably didn't just come here to tell stories.

The baron took out the fruit wine and drank it down, then threw away the empty silver-plated flagon at will: "After discovering this secret, the bishop recorded everything on a sheepskin scroll and handed it over to the liaison staff of the royal family.

However, II did not act immediately after receiving the information.

Despite the church's unorthodox behavior, the royal family was not enough to fight it at the time.

We need a force, a force that can fight against strange demons and knights without blessing. "

When the baron said this, a smile finally formed on the corner of his mouth.

"The church enshrines Irene to gain the power of God.

But they also lose the most important thing about being human, which is—"

The baron pointed to his forehead: "Think, don't think about why this power is given, don't think about what the so-called god is planning.

They just follow the rules set by the gods and use this power wantonly.

It is equivalent to becoming Irene's puppet until it turns into a strange demon.

So the price of giving up thinking can be very expensive. "

Su Marie, Roman, and Safia fell into deep thought together.

They have mastered various extraordinary abilities through systematic learning, so why are they not similar to knights?

Chapter 394 After Dark (76), the Ritual in the Deep of the Swamp

"what's next?"

Qin Nuo's voice pulled the three players up from their contemplation.

His tone was calm and seemed unaffected.

The black eyes under the beak mask were calm and calm, and seemed to have already answered.

Baron Campbell raised his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but think highly of this "detective".

After a few seconds of silence, she continued to speak: "Next, the Second King maintains the relationship with the church's superiors and subordinates on the surface, secretly hides his strength and bides his time, and begins to cultivate a force that can compete with the Knights.

As I said just now, human beings make continuous progress through thinking.

Although the thinking process was a bit long, we finally found it.

A workshop that can make all kinds of mercury weapons and a group of loyal ordinary people who can still defeat strange demons without relying on blessings.

It's just that the price of getting this result is very heavy.

The undercover agents placed by the royal family, including the bishop, were all caught. "

The baron took a new bottle of fruit wine from the housekeeper Lulu, drank two sips and continued: "At that time, the second emperor had died of illness, and the third emperor who succeeded him had a hot temper, and directly broke his face with the pope.

Facts have proved that the mercury weapon that is effective against strange monsters can also cause damage to blessed knights.

The night watchman and the knights confronted each other, and the entire palace became a battlefield.

Battles broke out in every corner of the garden, corridors, and living room.

No one remembers exactly how many fell, and detailed casualty figures have never been released.

Even His Majesty and I don't know. "

Hearing this, the four players couldn't help being curious about the Baron's actual identity.

Although there are a lot of negative news, it shows that she has a great reputation from the side.

Just going to the church for mass is escorted by two knights, which seems to be of high status.

Ordinary princes and nobles do not have this preferential treatment.

Wealth can be seen from the cost of food and clothing displayed.

Rich, powerful, and good-looking, she is the proper Aunt Mei in the plus version of the different world.

What is this kind of person planning to find four grassroots?

With doubts, a group of people continued to listen to the baron's eloquence while walking forward in the corridor.

"The conflict was well covered up and both sides claimed that the palace was on fire.

The specific details have not been verified so far, but one thing can be confirmed, the church that has always been strong has compromised for the first time.

Not only recognized the legal status of the night watchman, but even returned most of the power to the royal family.

Since then, the Principality is no longer dominated by the Church, at least on the surface. "

"But that's not your ultimate goal."

Qin Nuo, who was walking at the end, was thoughtful: "From the moment I entered Ayoulun Village, I felt that something was wrong.

Along the way, the team followed the steward's guidance, and it stands to reason that there shouldn't be too many accidents.

But the frequency of actually encountering strange monsters is no less than breaking through the encirclement head-on.

Especially the earth dragon that appeared at the end, it was obvious that it had been waiting there for a long time.

I don't know Baron, how do you explain it? "

There was no answer, only hurried steps at different paces.

The deeper you go into the tunnel, the more humid the ground under your feet will be.

When there was a faint light ahead, indicating that the exit was not far away, the ground had become extremely soft, as if walking on wet mud was disturbing.

Stepping on the last section of upward wooden stairs, housekeeper Lulu turned the mechanism.

With the creaking of the gears, a baffle was removed.

Everyone finally walked out of the dark corridor and came outside.

Located in the swamp behind the village of Aurum.

"Aren't you just curious?"

The baron stretched out his palm to feel the raindrops falling from above: "Then I can tell you now that the attack on the fortification has been a cover from the beginning to the end, the purpose..."

Before he could finish speaking, a loud bang came from far away into his ears.

Steward Lulu stared at the corridor where the movement came out, and said calmly, "Someone triggered the mechanism, causing the other end of the corridor to collapse."

"It should be the church, so many strange demons failed to hold them back."

There was disdain in the baron's tone: "If you don't have a key to force open the stone door, it will only detonate the gunpowder buried in the mechanism.

Now they have to take a long way to catch up, and they have to defeat a large number of strange demons wandering around the swamp. "

"But it won't take long, since we didn't tell the Night's Watch the truth.

Perhaps the night watchman thought we were in danger and was rushing here with the knights. "

The housekeeper Lulu poured cold water on it, and said to the players without hesitation of the Baron's dissatisfied eyes: "Seeing is believing, and you will understand the truth when you arrive at your destination.

Now please come with us first. "

The four players looked at each other, hesitated for a few seconds and decided to believe.

First, the entrustment reward did not arrive.

It is undoubtedly very tempting to promote the dead blood of the gods' relatives who have raised the supernatural props by one rank.

Second, the system task has not been completed.

The hard work of more than half a month is not just for this step.

Thirdly, the two masters and servants really don't seem to want to entrap players.

Of course, the third point is different and different people have different opinions, so don't make a conclusion.

The environment of the swamp is worse than that of the village.

The slug-like wet and soft ground, the rotten smell of silt, the dead forest with gnarled roots, and dangerous creatures lurking in the shadows.

It is hard to imagine that the once vibrant swamp wetlands will become like this.

Butler Lulu led the way, and the rest followed behind.

This time she didn't deliberately go astray.

In addition to avoiding the dark corners where strange monsters are hidden, they also carefully avoid the mud bubbles that look similar to mud.

In all fairness, even players would not want to set foot here if there is not a guide who knows the terrain well.

"Be careful. Although our people have given a safe route, the situation in the swamp is ever-changing, and no one can guarantee that it will be safe."

The housekeeper held a new parchment map in her hand, and reminded her loudly while identifying the direction.

On the way, the rain intensified.

Wetting your body reduces visibility and makes the road under your feet muddy.

Even the baron, who cared about his image, still looked embarrassed at this moment.

The cold wind, mixed with rain, scattered her hair.

The hand-made long riding boots stepped on the soil with two rows of footprints of different depths.

She almost staggered and fell several times, but fortunately Su Marie reached out in time to save the Baron from falling into the mud.

Finally, after more than ten minutes, an abandoned village mixed with dead trees and inconspicuous in the dark environment appeared in sight.

"Here we are, right in front."

Butler Lulu's eyes lit up, and her pace couldn't help but quicken a little.

After passing through the rotten wood and ruins that have long lost the breath of life, in the extremely eye-catching open space in the center of the ruins, a circular magic circle with complex lines comes into view.

A dozen black shadows in cloaks stood on the edge of the magic circle. They folded their hands and pressed on their chests, chanting something silently.

Skulls turned into white bones, dried intestines, bottles filled with red liquid, strangely shaped black meat, suspicious dung kneaded into round cakes...

A large number of named and unnamed sacrifices were neatly placed in the magic circle according to the established rules.

Qin Nuo noticed that there was an exquisite statue standing in the center of all the offerings.

The shape is highly similar to the goddess Irene, the difference is that one is pure white and the other is jet black.

"Baron, is this?"

Su Mali frowned. Although he didn't understand the truth, the scene in front of him looked like some kind of evil sacrificial ceremony.
