Chapter 665 Black Death and Black Pot (First)
Remember for a second
Three days later, Chen Rui and Paul left Yerodisha, the imperial capital of Longhuang.
Different from the high profile when they came, this time it can be described as a light car, and the two set off at night. It's just that the nightlife in Yerodisha is very rich, and many people saw Paul along the way, and it was inevitable that they would talk about it.
Although the voice of the discussion was low and the speed of the two horses was relatively fast, with Paul's ear, he could hear it clearly, his face could not help but become more gloomy, and he clenched the reins in his hands.
The two passed the inspection of the inner city and the outer city. After leaving the city, Paul almost threw the mount recklessly, and ran away all the way, as if to vent his anger. It was only in the suburbs that the speed gradually slowed down.
"Lord Paul!" Chen Rui looked like he was struggling, and his horse followed from behind.
Paul's breathing was a little heavy, and the knuckles of his fists turned white: "Richard, am I a loser?"
"Life cannot be smooth sailing, losers, all kinds of setbacks and difficulties will become part of our life, but as long as we don't give up hope, any setbacks will be defeated by us. The real winners stand up from countless setbacks and failures. Getting up is at least half the battle, and if you go down, you'll never be successful."
Chen Rui urged the mount to be side by side with Paul, and smiled: "At least, the adults have already succeeded in half."
Paul breathed evenly, felt his fighting spirit ignited again, and nodded: "In adversity, I am very fortunate to have a follower like you, who is also a true friend who is a mentor and a good friend. I regret not listening to your advice before... …Don’t worry, this time, I will really stand up and become a temple knight! We will return to Yerodisha in a dignified manner! We will also help you fulfill your wish!”
"I'm very relieved." Chen Rui said with a pun, "I believe that your lord will not disappoint me."
How could Paul know the true meaning of this sentence, he continued to ride his horse and ran forward. This time he had returned to his normal speed. Chen Rui looked back at the brightly lit "Glittering Treasure." The inexplicable sadness in his heart was suppressed—— After leaving this time, he probably won't come back again.
Whether it's "home", "father", or those blue eyes, they are just passing by in a hurry. He is Chen Rui and doesn't belong here.
"Drive!" Chen Rui turned his head, flicked the reins, and followed Paul's figure in front of him.
This time, the two returned the same way and went to Longya City. Because in the Hall of Light in Dragon Tooth City, there is a single portal that leads directly to White Cliff.
The teleportation gate is similar to the teleportation array, both of which use the principle of water magic, and the number of teleportation is affected by magic and energy, and there are corresponding restrictions. This single-entry portal can only be entered and cannot be exited, and it is not open to the outside world. It can only be used with special permission.
Although Longya City is only a border city of the Longhuang Empire, its scale is far greater than that of Garton City, and even more than Yangshao Wangdu, and the power of belief is extremely strong. In fact, Yelodisha, the capital of Longhuang Emperor, did not set up the Hall of Light. Chen Rui had already guessed a few points from Emperor Rex's actions of shuffling the cards by duel this time.
"God grant of monarchical power" is a common method for human monarchs to deify the ** system. It preaches that the power of emperors is bestowed by God and has natural rationality. Any disobedience or even rebellion is a blasphemy against the gods. However, with the Temple of Light, a special institution representing the highest divine power, there is always an irresolvable contradiction between the seemingly coordinated monarchical power and the divine right.
This kind of contradiction is particularly prominent in the two holy empires. Whether it is Emperor Long Huang or Emperor Lan Yao, on the one hand, they need the name of God to consolidate their rule and strengthen their power; on the other hand, water can carry a boat and capsize it. At the same time, they are deeply afraid of the divine power that is above the monarchical power, and even regard it as the biggest threat, and use various means to suppress it either overtly or covertly.
The pages of the history books of the human world are opened chapter by chapter in the development of this contradiction. The specific time of the appearance of the Temple of Light cannot be determined, but it is worth noting that for countless years, regardless of the rise and fall of empires or kingdoms, the Temple of Light has always stood. Does not fall.
Adora, the pastor of the Temple of Light in Longya City, was a familiar acquaintance of Paul, and when he heard the news of his arrival, he went to the gate to greet him in person.
"Lord Adora," Paul looked at the Palace of Light, which was ten times more guarded than before, "it's already night, and it's still in this state of guard. Did something major happen?"
Adora nodded, glanced at Chen Rui, and Paul smiled slightly: "Lord Adora, let me introduce, this is my most loyal follower and my most trusted friend, Richard, the alternate Bright Knight, this The next meeting will follow me to White Cliff to participate in the selection of temple knights, if there is anything you need to avoid, please say it directly."
Chen Rui's eyes showed a moved look, but he was very disdainful of Paul's means of bribing people's hearts: how could a ruthless character who is willing to kill his beloved woman for the sake of profit really believe in people other than himself. "Richard"'s wealth and status are quite valuable to Paul's future plans, and he has shown rare loyalty at the moment, so Paul must seize this talent now. Once the value of "Richard" is exhausted, or there is a higher interest as the price, Paul will definitely abandon him without hesitation.
Adora couldn't help but glance at Chen Rui, nodded, and said in a low voice: "The Black Death Apostle has appeared, and this time it's blatantly outrageous, the black hand has already reached the capital of the Yangshao Kingdom. In this kind of selection temple There must be a great conspiracy in the sensitive period of the knights. At present, Baiya has launched emergency response measures, not only dispatched a large number of bright knights, but also the referee, Lord Hughes, who personally led the referee.
The officers rushed to the capital of Yangshao to investigate and eradicate the black dead. The Palace of Light in the nearby kingdoms or empires is on full alert, and the distance between Longya City and Yangshao Kingdom is not too far, so we are all on guard here.”
Black Death? Chen Rui was taken aback by this unfamiliar name. Judging from Adora's expression and words, the Black Death should be a force opposed to the Church of Light, and its whereabouts were secret, not known to ordinary people, and regarded by the Church as a force. Great enemy.
Unexpectedly, the Church of Light, which covers almost all human beliefs in the ground world, actually has such an opponent.
"The phenomenon of the weakening of belief was discovered in King Yangshao, and the referee has found that the actual source should start from Gudan Town, then Garton City, and then to King Yangshao," said the Black Death Apostle, Ah Dora put away her smile and showed a solemn look: "By the way, haven't you and Miss Eliza been assassinated in Garton City? Even the priest Mana of Gudan Town was killed in the assassination. The Dagger Brotherhood and Black The Dead Apostles must have a close relationship. Lord Hughes has ordered the Dagger Brotherhood to be eradicated. I believe it will not be long before the Dagger Brotherhood will be uprooted. It’s getting late, you guys rest here for a night, and I’ll take you there tomorrow morning Portal."
Paul nodded: "Then there is Lord Lauadora."
Chen Rui and Paul were arranged to rest in the guest room, and Adora gave Paul many gifts. In fact, the pastor heard the news of Paul's failure in the duel in the imperial capital at the first time, but he did not mention it, but was very polite. Once Paul can become a temple knight of the Holy Mountain this time, his level is still higher than his city-level church leader, and it is likely to affect the personnel changes in the near future. Although Adora also has his own background, no matter what. , it is definitely right to do a good job of relationship in advance.
After Adora left, Chen Rui looked curious and asked, "Lord Paul, what exactly is the Black Death?"
"The Black Death is a believer in a secret church that advocates darkness and destruction, and the believers are extremely fanatical. 20,000 years ago, they made a bloody case of slaughtering ten cities and offering sacrifices to the evil gods, which shocked the entire human world at that time. , although it was jointly suppressed by the Church of Light and various countries, it was never completely eliminated, but turned to the dark place and acted more secretly. why"
Massacre the city to sacrifice? Chen Rui had a vague feeling of familiarity, rolled his eyes, and asked again, "Since this secret church has disappeared, what are the signs to determine the identities of these heretics? Is it dark magic? Back then, Pastor Mana and I were on the way. A forest was attacked by assassins using dark magic."
"It's not dark magic," Paul pondered for a moment, then whispered: "This is a secret within the church, I can tell you, but you must keep it secret. The reason why the Black Death disciples have become the most feared enemies of the Church of Light, It's because they have the power to blaspheme, to transform the faith of light into the power of destruction and evil."
Chen Rui felt that his heart was beating a little faster. He had heard that the route of the Black Death Apostle, "Gudan Town to Garton City and then to Yangshao King Capital" that Adora had said before, felt something was wrong, and now he has finally determined - "The culprit "It's not some Black Death Apostle, it's Shura!
This is actually a temporary plan by Chen Rui, because the incarnation outside the body has a wonderful connection with the main body, even if it is separated by a long distance, it can still transform the crystal of belief. When Chen Rui left the Yangshao capital with Paul, he left Shura, the incarnation of his body, behind. The goal was the power of faith in the palace of light in the capital, and it was not until a few days ago that he "feasted" and took it back.
I didn't expect to be noticed by the Guangming Church so soon. Fortunately, Shura did not follow Chen Rui all the time, but split up in the capital of Yangshao King. Otherwise, if the route of stealing beliefs was exactly the same as "Li Cha"'s actions, it would be inevitable that arouse suspicion. What is even more fortunate is that there are such existences as the Black Death in the human world, and they bear a big black cauldron on behalf of Shura and classmate Li Cha.
Now that the power of faith has been noticed by the Guangming Church, the limelight of the investigation is tight, and Chen Rui is going to be the old nest of the Guangming Church. Shura is better to put it away temporarily and not show his face.
Tomorrow, I will go to Baiya, Chen Rui secretly clenched his fists, this trip, Xue Dalaihua, is determined to win!
