Chapter 64 The Spreader of Fear
Bishop Kelly stood beside the burning fire with a serious expression on his face. He looked at the dense intelligence records in his hands, and his heart was dark.
Just now, the hateful undead creature finally couldn't stand the illumination of the holy light and gave some information. She did not know how she became like this, but according to the words of the undead creature, it seemed that a powerful necromancer was manipulating everything behind the scenes. Moreover, this undead creature was indeed weird. There was almost no way to detect their existence except using the holy light to monitor it. Moreover, according to the undead creature, the terrifying and evil necromancer seemed to be planning to summon an army to destroy and infiltrate the church!!
Things have become so serious that they have to report to the Archbishop. Although Kelly has faced many undead creatures as a clergy, this is the first time he has seen such "variety". Once it really spreads, what method should the church and temple use to stop it? To detect their existence?
The situation is urgent, and you must report to the archbishop immediately. No, it is useless to just report. The old people above are always hesitant when they decide on things. If they really just report, then God knows when will they get an answer.
Thinking of this, Kelly gently tapped the bell on the table, and soon, a knight in the armor of the Saint Knight came in.
"Captain Yogel, I need you to help me with one thing."
Kelly handed out the letter he had just written out with some fatigue.
"This matter is very important, believe me, it will even affect the peace of the entire continent."
Looking at the bishop in front of him, Knight Yogel was surprised to find that his eyes were filled with seriousness and heaviness that had never been seen before.
Standing on the high tower in the distance, Li Lin watched the fully armed knights leave the church at a glance, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's almost time to start the action, everything should go well in Angela... I hope we can also do it very smoothly."
Mina didn't say anything, just held the hilt of the sword in her hand tightly. She hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.
"Master, I have something...I haven't understood it yet."
"What's up?"
Li Lin is not Anjiela, he is not that harsh on these sisters.
"Why are you going to attack the Lord?"
Mina frowned and asked with courage.
"Although you have said that revenge...but...this is a god, after all..."
"I understand what you want to ask."
Although Mina was unable to express her meaning accurately, Li Lin also understood her thoughts. After all, she was the former God of Justice and the God-Selected One. Mina is much more firm than Fina in terms of faith, which is why Fina was quickly brainwashed by Angela, while Mina was still able to maintain her position. As a person who was once possessed by a god, Mina could not give up her faith so simply. She could not be as open-minded as Fina, and fighting with the gods is indeed an unimaginable action of humans in the world at present. Therefore, Li Lin's current behavior of intending to be an enemy of the temple always makes Mina a little uneasy and opposed.
"I know what you want to say very well, but it is only a matter of time before we oppose the God of Justice for revenge and restoration. Now it is beneficial to us to make their reputation among the people. What's more, the God of Justice is not the real God of Justice at the moment, and it doesn't matter if he is stinking."
"What?!"
Listening to Li Lin's understatement of such explosive news, even Mina could not hide her surprise and shock.
"Not the true God of Justice? What do you mean?"
"Mina, what do you think of a god?"
After looking at the sky, he realized that it was still some time before he could implement the plan, so Li Lin planned to teach Mina a religious course.
“What did you learn in the church?”
"The gods are…everlasting, only, eternal products."
Faced with Li Lin's sudden question, Mina was a little stunned, but she still answered quickly. After all, as a God-selected person, she has not put in less effort in religious teaching.
"He created the world, created everything, looked at us kindly and fairly, and gave us..."
"Okay OK."
Li Lin waved his hand with a wry smile.
"I can tell you responsibly that all of them are wrong."
"Why?"
Hearing this sentence, Mina widened her eyes in surprise.
"You mean, those are fake?"
"Of course, if it were really the gods who created everything, how could we arcane mages be on par with them? And reach an equal deal?"
Li Lin chuckled at Mina's rhetoric.
"In fact, the gods did not create us, and they did not have the ability. We are all creatures living in this world... Of course, from a certain perspective, the gods can no longer be considered creatures. However, unlike humans, they themselves are created by the rules of the entire world... It's that simple. So, I said that the God of Justice is not the real God of Justice, but a clown trying to replace it."
"I still don't understand, master."
Mina shook her head.
"As a God-Choose, I can feel that that God does possess divine power, and he cannot..."
"Divine power is just divine power. As long as you have the characteristics of a god, you can have divine power. The hidden goddess you saw before also has divine power."
With a slightly helpless expression, Li Lin couldn't help but feel a little funny when he thought of the lady's swollen cheek. No matter what, the Secret Goddess was also a god from ancient times. He was actually hit by a human (although not considered a human). Even during the Arcane Wizard, he had never seen such a scene. "You must know that the reason why the god is a god is not just because he has divinity. If there is no clergy, the god is just a powerful creature with divinity..."
It’s like a driver who drives without a license, and he can’t complain when he is detained.
"Only a god with a priesthood can be called a qualified god."
"Clerical?"
"Just like the God of Justice... Justice is its clergy. Once it is placed in a clergy, then this God must act according to this characteristic, and it can only draw energy from the actions representing this meaning. The God of Justice does not necessarily require others to maintain a pious attitude towards him, because only the act of exercising justice can give the God of Justice strength, rather than praying devoutly all day long in the temple as you have done before."
Li Lin explained, pointing at the current house.
"Mina, I ask you, if I cast magic now and kill everyone there, will my behavior be evil?"
"This... is of course evil."
"But what if I tell you that there are a group of murderers who are not blinking and full of blood debt?"
“……………………”
Mina stopped talking.
"Justice must be set off by evil. Only in this way can the characteristics of justice itself be revealed."
Li Lin said that he didn't plan to continue talking about it anymore. He withdrew his gaze and let Mina understand the meaning of the words himself.
"Okay, news has been heard from Nia that their mission has been completed. Next, it is time for us to act. Rescue Fina as soon as possible to avoid trouble."
According to Li Lin's order, Nia had already cast a light magic there, which would not hurt those people, but would only cause them to resist fiercely when facing the strong light. This is also the information that Li Lin asked Anjie to convey through Fina's mouth. As Li Lin expected, after learning about the information that Fina said, the temple immediately sent a lot of knights to the town mentioned in Fina to investigate. After all, the hidden characteristics of this silk-free creature really made the temple very
Nervous, because this means that those evil and terrible species may appear in any human city at any time. At present, there is no other way to determine the identity of these dark evil people except using holy light to shine. Therefore, in the position of standing in the temple, we naturally hope to get more clues and completely eliminate them to eliminate future troubles. In the eyes of those clergy, these terrible undead people are far more likely to cause damage and panic than necrotic creatures such as lichs.
This is Li Lin's plan, spreading horror.
Even if you don't take action, after learning about the existence of this "new necrotic creature", the temple will naturally become more sensitive than before, which can divert the attention of the God of Justice. After all, a temple system full of tension is definitely not something that the gods want to see. If you take action against the outside, it is beneficial to appease the temple, but it is not good for ordinary people. Just as Anjiela said, one of the biggest reasons why people are willing to see the demise of lichs and necrotic creatures is that they are ugly and fearful. This kind of non-human person naturally cannot get the sympathy of humans. But the blood-sucking species are not
Similarly, they are almost no different from humans. They can cry, laugh, and have their own feelings and thinking ability. Under such premise, how many people will have questions about killing these creatures that look like ordinary humans? Once the temple really does this, it is certain that its prestige will naturally be discounted in the hearts of the people. After all, this is not to punish sinners, nor to eliminate evil. No matter who it is, if the temple tied a person who looks no different from humans to a stake, and the crime is just "he is an immortal creature", then you will definitely worry whether you will encounter the same fate.
With such an opposition, conflicts between the Five Nations Alliance and the Temple can also be provoked.
