At the gate of Genggu Town, a group of travel-worn monks filed in.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
The generation of Falling Star Sea basically seldom sees monks on weekdays, but that doesn't mean that there are really only three or two monks here.
As a notorious ancient organization of monks, the monks of eternal death are forced to exile in their birthplace. Naturally, they also have their old enemies, and the old enemies of the monks are usually another group of monks.
There are two main enemies of the Perishing Monk. ;
One is called the ancient order, which is an ancient order of monks than the monks of the eternal death. The monks of the ancient order do not believe in any gods. They believe in a philosophy supported by some ancient existence.Many scholars who have studied the monk order even believe that the ancient order should be the most orthodox monk branch.
The hatred between the ancient order and the eternal monk has existed almost since the birth of the eternal monk, and the source is the sacred corpse that led to the birth of the eternal monk.The feud between the two monk schools is old and long, but that doesn't mean they have to fight to the death when they meet.
It was another sect of monks, the Shining Hands, that really dealt the fatal blow to the Monks of Eternal Death.This is an equally ancient order of monks, originating from the ancient mages of Amn.Monks of this school like to use the power of magic to discover the true meaning of monks. It can also be said that they mix the belief in Azuth with the practice of honing the knowledge of mages in the way of monks.
It was the activity of the Shining Hand at a certain period in history that led to the decline of the eternal monk in Amn's hometown, and finally had to leave his hometown.
However, the eternal dead monks who left Amn did not completely escape the pursuit of their old enemies, especially the members of the ancient order have been secretly chasing the eternal dead monks, especially those great monks who have the ability to form monasteries. The senior monks of the order personally oversee it.
Sharad Deadheart is a veteran monk from the ancient order. His mission is to spy on a group of immortal monks who have infiltrated the town of Scardale. These evil and cruel sadists will cause extremely bad things wherever they go. If it wasn't for the lack of self-feeling and the fact that the two too young apprentices were holding him back, Sharad Rottenheart really wanted to personally kill these lunatics who worshiped death.
Out of consideration for safety and the tradition of the ancient order, Sharad Deadheart and two apprentice monks chose to build a simple wooden house in the wilderness outside Scar Valley Town as a stronghold. Every few days his two One of the apprentices will go to the town of Scar Valley to find out about the recent situation of the immortal monks while buying some daily necessities.
In the past few days, the situation in Scar Valley Town has suddenly become extremely tense, especially those worshipers of death have started to kill some specific people in Scar Valley Town. This made Sharad Deadheart feel angry There was a certain dangerous breath that was about to come.
Sharad Rottenheart was worried that the traces of his family had been exposed, so he planned to rebuild his stronghold in another place.However, just as the senior monk and his apprentices were about to leave, they found that they were surrounded by old enemies in the stronghold.
The two apprentice monks who had just started were almost powerless to fight and were knocked down by those cruel lunatics. However, what made Sharad Rottenheart a little strange but relieved was that those immortals who liked to torture people The monk did not beat and torture his disciples.
So when the female monk stood in front of Sharad Rottenheart, the senior monk of the ancient order did not violently resist, but asked frankly: "Kurier, Rageheart, are you here to finish me?" life?"
Twelve powerful monks, including at least one great monk and three senior monks, are definitely not something that Sharad Rottenheart can contend with alone. Even without two apprentices holding him back, it is impossible for Sharad to rely on Breaking out of the encirclement with his own strength, he will only be slowly tortured to death by the most cruel and bloody methods like a cat playing with a mouse by his opponent.
And the more he resists, the more excited those eternal death thugs will be.On the contrary, if Sharad gave up his resistance, although the immortal monks would still torture him, they would hastily end the process of torture because they could not arouse the interest of torture, so that the poor victim would be able to endure less pain before dying. Some torture and pain.
These are the words of experience summed up with blood and life in the thousands of years of intersection between the senior warrior monks of the ancient order and the immortal monks.
However, to Shaled Shuxin's surprise, the female monk who has always been known for her tyranny and cruelty did not punch her as usual. Ryder, the messenger of the ancient order, it is not easy to find you."
Sharad laughed bitterly at himself and said, "Brother Raging Flame! How can I, a mediocre monk who has not yet completed his deep training, attract your entire scripture group to come out?!"
The so-called preaching group is a special title in the monk order. It mainly refers to the pioneers who went to unfamiliar areas to spread the way of monks. These pioneers were either firm-willed and relied on perseverance to spread the word Essentials, either rely on powerful strength to arm and preach.
The missionary group of the perishing monks is known for its strength. A full-length missionary group of 12 people is enough to suppress a medium-sized town, and it can also establish a military monastery with sufficient combat power in a short period of time.
Although the perishing monks and the ancient order are inherently hostile, the two families generally treat each other with respect in the preaching area, and only when one of them has gained a firm foothold will it concentrate its efforts to expel the other in the following days.
The female warrior monk Kulier said, "No! Brother Sharad, the monks of eternal death are not here to expel and strangle you. On the contrary, we are going to cooperate with your ancient Order Order."
"Cooperation? This joke is not funny at all! You worshipers of death are born against the idea of the ancient order. I don't think there is any possibility of cooperation between us!" Shared felt that the female chief of the eternal death monk Telling the most ridiculous joke, or weaving the most outrageous lie.
The female monk said: "Don't be too absolute, friends of the ancient order, if you know the reason why we seek cooperation, I believe you will definitely change your mind."
Shalaide said frankly: "Impossible! Evil is irreconcilable with me. I never believe that there is any reason in this world to make me give up my position."
The female warrior monk teased: "Brother Shaled, in front of the true body of the real Vajra Fudo Mingwang, your so-called standpoint of good and evil is not worth mentioning at all!"
Sharad Shuxin was stunned for a moment, and asked involuntarily: "What are you talking about? The Great King Vajra Fudo? Are you kidding me? How can there be a real Great King Ming in this world! Even the ancient legend The source of the way of monks—the Lord of Kong Randa, has never reached the level of King Ming's Great Venerable in the records of the classics!"
The female monk said: "It is precisely because I know that the origin of the monks of your ancient order is the most researched, so I came to you for cooperation. Brother Sharad, the eternal monk met a person in this town, a very A special person, a human being who is very similar to the characteristics of the Great King Ming passed down from ancient times!"
Brother Shaled's shocking eyeballs almost popped out, and he yelled in disbelief: "Impossible! You are lying! Kuril, Heart of Raging Flames! How can there be a human being in this world who can cultivate to the King of Brightness? !Don’t explain Wang Guo, even if it is a Vajra, it is impossible for human beings to cultivate!”
The female monk pretended to be embarrassed and said: "That's right! It's hard for me to believe this is true! But the facts are right in front of me, and I can't make a decision at the moment, so I came to cooperate with your ancient order. I need your most professional advice. The inheritance of knowledge will help us identify the authenticity of the Great King Ming."
Shalaide's heart couldn't help beating. Although he still had doubts about the eternal monks, he still couldn't help but hope that what the female monk said was true, and even more hope that the immortal monk The humans the dead monks suspect are really what they think they are, though this last hope is so small that it is almost impossible.
It's not that Sharad Shuxin has never seen the world, it's really that all the monks in this world have been suffering for a long time.The monk profession is very strange. If a beginner wants to progress quickly, you have to have a template to imitate, such as a more powerful monk.
For example, if you worship a monk who is level 12 according to the game standard as your teacher, as long as you stay with him all the time and don't die halfway, then you have a high probability that you can increase your monk level step by step to level 11.
In this process, you don't even need to consider your talent, you just need to have enough patience and perseverance, and be willing to work hard.
However, after level 11, there is no master template as a guiding path. It may take decades of hard work to improve a little level, such as reaching the level that your master should be (level 12), and then you may not be able to improve a level in your entire life. , will never reach level 13.
As a result, many monks will immediately switch to other extraordinary professions when they reach the limit of what they can learn from their masters (that is, one level lower than the master's level), in order to improve their overall strength as soon as possible. , but in this way, the monk's ability can no longer be improved (the upper limit of the monk's level is locked when the part-time job is done).
So for all monks, a strong enough monk template (master) is definitely the most desired treasure.For this reason, each monk order will retain a group of the purest individual monks. They will spend their entire lives developing their own professional upper limit, or keeping the upper limit inherited from the previous generation of monks.
This kind of ascetic monk has many titles, and can be called monastery protector, meritorious monk, scripture-keeper monk, abbot monk, etc. Although there are different names, the essence is basically the same.
The monks of the ancient order are even more eager to obtain the guidance of a top monk template than the monks of the eternal death, because the order they belong to has once been truly brilliant, but it has almost fallen to the bottom due to the passage of time, and even once driven out by them The immortal monks who left their homes can now overwhelm them.
Sharad Rottenheart struggled to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and asked in a suspicious tone: "Are you sure you are not weaving a ridiculous lie?"
The female monk described the intersection and collision between her team and William in almost every detail, and presented some of her own guesses and analysis.
After hearing this, Sharad almost had a heart attack with excitement. While showing ecstasy, he couldn't help asking: "Ms. Kuril, Flameheart, since you have already met this Mr. William After negotiating, why not keep this secret to yourself, but come to our ancient order for cooperation?"
The female monk sighed and said: "Don't you think we don't want to? It is really this Venerable William who has a decisive temperament, compassion for the weak, and an amazing sense of justice. He can hardly tolerate any evil deeds happening around him.
I know very well that relying on these perverted people of our perishing monks alone to contact Him will not only fail to gain the trust of the other party, but may suffer the most cruel blow from Him.
Brother Sharad, only if the two of us cooperate, can we gain a foothold by the side of that great venerable. "
After hearing the female warrior monk's analysis of William's character, Sharad felt even more joyful in his heart. He said, "Okay! I'll go with you to meet that Venerable William!"
The female monk shook her head and said, "You alone are not enough! That Mr. William is planning to unify the Valley. He wants to end the division in this land and establish a powerful kingdom that can protect all Valley people. Brother Shaled, if we want to gain the trust of this suspected Venerable Vajra, we must show our worth."
Sharad asked hesitantly: "Brother Kulier, do you want to form a monk battle group?"
The female monk nodded and said: "That's right! A sufficiently strong and loyal monk group will definitely be able to gain the trust of Venerable William, and it can also cover up the distorted nature of the members of the perishing monks."
Shalaide frowned and said, "It is impossible for you to cover up your sinful nature in front of the real Venerable Vajra!"
The female warrior monk said: "Of course I know this! But we will try our best to correct our behavior and style, reverse the eternal death monk's worship concept of death, and finally obtain the salvation of nature (modify our own alignment)!"
The cultivator of the ancient order seemed to be satisfied and nodded, saying: "I hope so! Ms. Kulier, I will issue a summoning order right away. I believe that more brothers and sisters will come here to meet soon."
Sharad Rottenheart really didn't talk big. He wrote more than a dozen letters and sent them out with the help of special messenger birds. After a few days, monks and monks from the ancient order came to the scar one after another. valley town.
Some of these monks came alone, and some came with their families, disciples and grandchildren, and soon a group of nearly a hundred monks gathered in Scar Valley Town.
The monks were initially taken aback when they saw Sharad Rottenheart appearing with the Priest of the Eternal Death, but were soon overwhelmed by the news they brought. The appearance showed unspeakable fanaticism.
Forming a warrior monk group and following William, who is suspected to be King Kong, became the unanimous consensus of everyone, and then there was the scene that William saw a group of monks entering Genggu Town.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
At the moment when the warrior monks entered the city, the elf Ai Lilian Dawnhorn was extremely confused. Of course, what made her feel confused was not the unknown monks, but the ultimatum passed down by William.
Expel the elves?Are you serious?Ignorant and stupid human lord? !
Do you know how many elves live in this land?
Three thousand!There are [-] elves who have basic training, and there are even many powerful combatants among them. For example, the guards under Ai Lilian and the patrols scattered in the field of Plow Valley all have powerful elves as the backbone.
If it weren't for the fact that there are too many human beings and they can reproduce too much, giving birth to a baby is like giving birth to a piglet, so that the elves have scruples, otherwise they would have completely occupied this fertile land. Instead of secretly engaging in peaceful evolution and behind-the-scenes tricks to seize power.
The elves have put in too much painstaking efforts to cultivate the land of the valley, and you, William, want to force them to give up their efforts for hundreds of years with just one sentence. How can this work?
Ai Lilian thinks that William is a stupid lunatic, an arrogant idiot, and such a person is absolutely not qualified to be the master of this land, not even a false puppet. wisdom and hard work.
So Aililian Dawnhorn decided to kill William, at this moment, on the castle overlooking the gate.
Do as soon as you think of it, this is the style of Ellen Dawnhorn, the town guard of Genggu Town and the leader of the guards. Then she pulled out the elven long sword worn at her waist, pointed it at William and said: "Humans, stupid as You are not qualified to be the master of this land, elves are! Now, you should get out of here with your people, or be killed by me here!"
William looked at the silly elf in disbelief, and thought to himself that she is a pure elf girl, what is the point of you pointing a sword at me like that?If you want to kill someone, you have to pierce your heart with a sword. What's the point of standing aside with your sword in your hand?
Of course, William definitely couldn't say that. He said in a surprised tone: "Ms. Ai Lilian, are you serious? Do you really want to kill me? Kill the new owner of the plowing valley?!"
Ai Lilian laughed and said: "Don't dream, human! You have never been the master of the Valley of Torment, the elves are! Ever since the tyrant Hewen lost the battle with the Elven King's Court in Halfaxe Pass, here has been Forever the elves of Cormanthor. Invaders! Prepare to be judged by fate!"
Then Ai Lilian really stabbed William's heart with a sword, the kind without a trace of hesitation.
Many people at the scene saw Ai Lilian attacking the new lord, and everyone was surprised and surprised by it, but people's reactions to this sudden accident were different.
The elves and most of the half-elves among the original guard members of Genggu Town drew out their weapons almost without hesitation in response to the actions of the leader of their own guard.
The humans and a few half-elves in the guard hesitated a bit. Of course, it wasn't that they opposed the female elf's decision, but that they couldn't make up their minds for a while. The new lord had just ushered in, and before they had time to warm up, the female elf leader also There was no pre-arranged rebellion scene, so why did they turn their faces all of a sudden?
However, these people reacted quickly, and after a little hesitation, they drew out their weapons and joined the team of elves one after another.
It can only be said that the penetration of the elves into this land has indeed reached an unprecedented level, at least the entire guard team is completely united with the elves.
As for the reaction of the guards brought by William, it was rather broken.The sources of William's guards are quite mixed. There are veteran fighters from Dagger Valley, meritorious rangers from Shadow Valley, and new recruits from Deep Forest Valley, Battle Valley, and even Scar Valley.
William didn't doubt the loyalty of the members of the guard to him, because even malicious guys couldn't get to him, but how much loyalty they had was a question mark.
Veteran warriors from Daggerdale were the quickest to adapt. They drew their weapons almost as soon as Arilian Dawnhorn drew his sword, ready to protect their lord.
As for the rest of the people, some reacted faster, almost like the humans in the guards on the opposite side. After a little hesitation, they began to draw their swords to perform their duties; It took a while to react, and then drew out their weapons in a panic, and a few people even dropped their weapons in a panic.
Of course, these soldiers cannot be blamed for being too amateur. After all, they are all young people specially selected by William. Many of them are not even experienced fighters, but they have good plasticity, so they are valued by William and specially transferred to him. to cultivate.
In addition, some related households are indispensable among them, such as the heirs and relatives of some newly appointed persons with status.
William must be dissatisfied with the professional ability of his subordinates.
However, for William, the lack of strength of his subordinates is nothing. After all, William is strong enough. Many times his guards are just a facade and guard of honor, and most of the time they don't need their strength to protect themselves. .
Furthermore, most of the members of the guard are novices, and they have to go through a lot of training to become a truly qualified guard.
Therefore, most of the time, William's requirements for the members of his guard are not too strict for the time being.But this does not mean that William is not angry, on the contrary, he is really angry at the moment.
Of course, the reason for the anger was not that the novice guards had poor adaptability, but that a few guards from Shadow Valley jumped out to try to prevent the conflict between the two sides.
The key is that these guys opened their arms to prevent their comrades from rescuing the "held" lord as soon as they came up, but left their backs to the enemy elves.
The behavior of these shadow valley rangers eating inside and out was completely disgusting to William.
"Hold on, everyone. The elves of Cormanthor are not our enemies. This is just a misunderstanding! Let us resolve this dispute peacefully!" one of the half-elf rangers with elf blood said loudly.
Misunderstood Nima!William really wanted to slap these damn fools to death!
The sword of the fucking elf chick pierced Lao Tzu's heart. If it weren't for our thick skin and good equipment, my son would have been pierced by a sword long ago, but you jumped out Saying that it was a misunderstanding, and still speaking in favor of the enemy, I am really ashamed this time!
At this moment, the elf girl Ai Lilian was also a little dazed. She really hit hard, but she didn't expect that even if the opponent had no resistance, her sword would not be able to pierce the opponent's oily skin.What's worse, when she wanted to draw the sword back to defend or change places to attack, she found that the long sword made of fine steel couldn't draw it.
Because the tip of the sword was pinched by William with two fingers.
Aililian Dawnhorn is not someone who has never seen the world. She is not only a qualified fighter, but also an excellent mage than teachers. Therefore, when the long sword she stabbed was blocked, she immediately realized that the human being in front of her Lord is not an easy role.
She immediately let go of the handle of the long sword, quickly took two steps back, and then drew out a relatively thin and exquisite long sword as a weapon, standing opposite William, but she aimed at William from the corner of her eye. On the side, there is a little girl who is also holding a rapier eager to try.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
After more than two years of experience, Mi Sha'er is no longer the sick and petite daughter who just curls up in bed crying and praying, she already has some demeanor of a real warrior.
When the elf Ai Lilian Dawnhorn attacked William, Misha'er really didn't react. After all, she was only a child, and she was not so sensitive to unexpected changes.
But soon the little girl was full of anger, and she almost drew out her star stabbing sword when Ai Lilian was in a daze.Her reaction speed is even one of the top among all guard members.
When Misha'er was about to attack the elf, the elf retreated without hesitation, and drew out a thin sword and waited intently.
Misha'er looked up at her brother.
William casually threw away the long sword that the elf had given up, and nodded to Misha.The little guy happily nodded his head at his brother twice, then looked at Ai Lilian Dawnhorn, picked up his steps and said: "Elf! You shouldn't attack William with a sword, Misha is very angry now, Mi Shar is going to kill you now! Are you ready for trial?!"
Due to malnutrition in her childhood, Misha'er's growth rate was relatively slow, which made her look much shorter than girls of the same age. Standing in front of the tall elf, she was two heads shorter. The difference in shape makes her little fierce look very intimidating.
Ai Lilian didn't even pay attention to Misha'er at first, but when Misha'er stabbed out with the first sword, the elf's face changed immediately.
Misha'er's first hand was a sudden stab, her sword style was so fast, she caught the elf by surprise.Ai Lilian only had time to raise the sword, and the blade of the star thorn sword had already pierced the elf's thigh.
At this time, the elf didn't even feel the pain of being stabbed. She just felt a cold on her thigh, but she realized that she was actually injured in horror.
At this time, Misha'er, who was stabbing the enemy with a lunge, was not even as high as Arilian's waist and abdomen. When the elf swung his sword and hit Misha'er's forehead, the little guy disappeared from Arilian's eyes with a short body. .
Ai Lilian was shocked, and immediately looked around, but she didn't find the little girl. Then she felt a cold on her back, and then a sharp pain came from the cold place.
At this time, Ai Lilian realized that her opponent had already run behind her, and now she was equivalent to selling her back to the enemy, and received a fierce backstab.
Kidney Shot!Although Misha'er is not an assassin, she has done things that many professional assassins cannot do.
For many assassins, how to openly show their opponents the art of backstabbing in full view is a belief and ideal that needs to be consistent.
Stealth and hiding are all compromises made by assassins for this art.
Misha'er was neither invisible nor hiding, she was right under the eyes of everyone, relying on her outstanding explosive power and precise steps, she instantly seized the dead corner of the elf's field of vision.Of course, Misha'er stabbed Ai Lilian's thigh with the first sword, and the flexibility that almost abolished the elf is also a factor that cannot be ignored.
Ai Lilian's will was not enough to ignore the pain when her kidney was broken, so she could only collapse on the ground in pain, and then watched Misha'er walk to the edge of her forehead, using a thin stab Xingjian slapped her distorted cheek from the severe pain.
