The terrifying explosion was like the thunder in the sky.
...It is even more terrifying, because it is closer and deeper, and then another sound is mixed with the creaking pain of the temple, the dark red flames carry the storm, gushing out from the window frame, reflecting the haze
In the sky, shattered crystal fragments reflect a colorful rainbow in it...
The strong shaking on the ground made everyone unstable, but their eyes seemed to be still in the terrible scene in front of them - the Temple of Morning Light was shaking, and on the exterior wall engraved with exquisite reliefs, cracks spread, as if there was an indescribable one.
The huge monster was imprisoned in the church, struggling and clashing, trying to break free from it! And every loud noise made the wall wrapped in darkness! The flames pushed the flying rubble outward
Then there was a rumbling roll, and the dust and smoke that protruded rose up like the head and neck of the snake lizard. Even the rain gradually became stronger, it could not be extinguished! The storm had an indescribable pungent smell, the legendary
Dragon Breath may not be the case.
Although the solid golden exterior wall wanted to resist for a while, it seemed to prove the futility of that effort, from the inside out, bursts of continuous explosions added more smoke, dust and flames to the walls, and finally,
The tower pointed high towards the sky overturned in the sore and painful friction sound, turning into a large area of rolling rich ashes!
The dust rolled and spread, covering the entire square, turning the already dim sky with yellow and black mixed with fire, and the rolling smoke columns rose, just like the scene of the arrival of doomsday!
The crowd was stunned and ran away, and everything that was almost unimaginable in front of them made all the people, soldiers, knights and even paladins subconsciously crowd together, curled up, with a look of despair in their eyes, and even forgot the cry of surprise.
.
"I understand... it's God's punishment! It's God's punishment! The gods punished these evil evildoers, they are sinners!" An old man's voice screamed, almost inaudible in the roar, but it seemed like
The sound of the quiet night bell shocked everyone's heart!
"They...they have hidden sinners, so the God of Dawn wants to punish them!"
One by one, the voices began to be in tune, and the gathering of voices made people stop, they were frightened, and they realized that they began to kneel on the ground, prostrated to the 'Divine Punishment' created by the Lord of the Dawn, and recited devoutly
He followed his own prayers.
For a moment, no one had the idea of extinguishing the flame in his mind. They just surrounded the fire, watching it roll and burn, completely swallowing the former temple, letting the bright flames shine half of the sky,
It also highlighted the deepest part of the eyes of everyone in the city who looked up at this scene.
...
However, the person who created the fire has now escaped into darkness.
Edward slowly walked through a dark street and turned over a broken stone arch at the end, standing behind a deserted mansion. The building gathered here a small open ground, and rain water flowed from the stone
The top of the arch fell, and mottled water traces swam out on the mottled walls, reflecting the light of red and purple flames in the sky.
The flame trembled silently, and then, the light and shadows rippled in the void like ripples, outlining the thin human figure wrapped in a dark green robe.
"The Lord of the City, they had no doubt at all. Thirty-seven priests, including one deputy priest, seven high-ranking priests, and twelve paladins, all of whom were male, and we all used fire on them.
If the glue or acid is burned, no one should find any signs of their assassination.”
The half-elf that emerged from the void bowed slightly, reported in a low voice, then took out three or four wooden boxes ranging from one foot to two feet from the dimension bag beside him, and opened them one by one: "From the layout, to
End, a total of ten hourglass scales were taken, within one hourglass you requested. Now, the Temple of Morning Light has completely collapsed and the fire has not weakened. Even if the rain has increased from the afternoon to the evening, it will not cause any obstacles.
.”
Edward nodded.
In fact, as the planner of everything, he had already been sure of the result before leaving the square.
In order to ensure the effect, this time the explosives he used by these half-elves killers were high-end products mixed with magical gems. The explosive power was not comparable to those simple gunpowder. Therefore, although it was only about thirty pounds,
, knowing in advance the precise arrangement of the temple structure and the orderly detonation method, it is more than enough to collapse a not-so-large temple. Not to mention that he was always cautious, he also specially asked them to bring a few barrels of fire.
Gum. Even if the exterior wall of Camino's Dawn Temple is piled with stones, it is enough.
Unfortunately, the only disadvantage is that the value of this kind of thing is almost impossible to describe - to be precise, it is the sky-high price, and these thirty pounds of explosives cost almost fifteen to twenty times their weight.
Gold, or magical materials equivalent to those of gold, is the most cost-effective ingredient developed by the old mages.
Fortunately, this time the gains are enough to compensate for these losses.
The boxes of all sizes were placed on the table in front of Edward by half-elves. Except for some gems and magical items, most of them were neatly placed with parchment paper shining with magic luster—that was the land deed,
Proof of ownership, and large denominations of gold bills, these are all property belonging to the Temple of Morning Light. However, now all the people who know the inside story have basically been killed or injured. No one can count any traces from the huge fire scene.
It's right.
In this way, it will probably take at least a few years for the power of the Chenxi Church to recover to its original level in Camino?
Although the way of eliminating the explosion is not completely compared to stolen, religious trials, etc., it has lost the guidance of most priests and heard the shocking scandal with my own ears. I believe the city of Camino
The faith in the morning light in the middle has been shaken from its foundation. As long as the direction of public opinion is properly guided, it is probably not difficult to completely wipe out the reputation of this god.
If a nationwide boycott can be promoted, it would be better.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of the psychic warlock's lips.
Although this can only be thought about it. Ransendall has powerful divine power and numerous temples, almost covering most corners of the continent. It will not be easy to completely defeat such an enemy, whether it is force or strategy.
Things. In such a large city with a large population, it is impossible to completely eradicate a temple in the morning. If they can cause them to suffer heavy damage, the action will be considered very successful...
But even incomplete destruction can achieve your goals... This is a war, and that is enough.
"Goodly done, Melianne, and Carlos."
He sighed and said.
Behind him, one tall and one short, two figures had already walked in from the stone arch.
"We just spread some rumors and didn't do anything."
Compared to the half-elf who bent slightly, the man with a few scars on his face did not show enough respect. In fact, he stared at the young man who slowly put the boxes into the dimensional bag.
There seemed to be anger flashing in his eyes.
This man's actions made the former kingdom veteran angry.
Spread news, guide the people, and kill the soldiers of the Demon Wolf Legion... All of this was done by him, Carlos and the half-elf Melianne, and the so-called culprit, the priest did not do anything at all
The matter was just a little impatient with treating the little girl, and how authentic is the girl's words? Is there anything about the so-called "evil" of the pastor?
At least, she should have seen the three soldiers being killed... and Carlos couldn't see why she was telling that kind of lie, especially trying to lie in the realm of reality, and the weirdest thing is that
The lie was not revealed - so, obviously, as a 'witness', he participated in this farce, and the man who had been standing not far away from the girl did something.
No matter what it is, in short, he achieved his goal.
Carlos never thought that he would become an accomplice of an evil person who conspired to destroy and robbed the Temple of the God of Dawn. Moreover, he used such a despicable means.
This made Carlos angry.
In fact, he was not very clear about where his anger came from, or because the instinctive justice and kindness of human beings do not allow such cunning and despicable, or even involve innocent girls in conspiracy, or because deep down he was still
There are some longings for the Dawn Saints when they were young, or because the important figures they admired were also firmly controlled by this despicable person.
He lowered his head and said nothing. Just when he was thinking a little in his heart, the young man's words shocked the Knight. "Carlos, do you think I'm doing too much?"
In fact, the slight statement of "excessiveness" is not enough to describe what this guy did.
"A few of those priests are wrong, but they will not die. Moreover, there are some people in the Temple of Morning Light who know nothing about it, and they are all innocent."
He spoke and carefully chose the words: "What's more, even if a sinner destroys the Temple of Morning Light, it is not a way to punish them."
"Innocent..."
The young psychic warlock turned around and smiled at the middle-aged man: "Although what I did was yin, but as an exploiting class, where are there innocent people among these charlatans?"
"Oh, yes, you don't know what the exploiting class is." He shook his head and continued, "Okay, to put it simply, it is those who live by seizing other people's labor, those who enjoy others' enjoyment
People who offer life, kings, nobles, charlatans... They are a group of robbers and thieves who take away the wealth of other people in a pantheon, but they are far worse than those! Because although they steal wealth, they will not bear it
Any risk will not be hanged or sold like robbers or thieves, and they can even enjoy the admiration of all people. In fact, the biggest exploiting class in the world is God. Therefore, these so-called people who exercise the will of the gods,
No one can describe the so-called pastor as innocent.”
Pastors, nobles, kings, are they all thieves and robbers?
This speech made Carlos feel that his thinking was a little stiff. In fact, it was not just him. Judging from those dull eyes, everyone probably had the same questions as him.
So the psychic warlock simply continued to solve their doubts.
"Look at the poor, why are the churches of Ransendall so rich, but those poor are so poor? Why do you think they are poor? Does it have something to do with whether they are lazy or not? Your origin is not rich, right?
?Do you think those poor people are hardworking? Or do you think poverty must be borne by some people?"
"No..." Carlos didn't nod, and then he remembered that he should refute the man's cold behavior, so he could only force himself to continue: "But...even then, the source of the church's funds is the donation of the devout believers,
This is not the same as the nobles…”
"Where do you say that the donations of those believers come from?" Edward interrupted him with a question, but did not wait for his answer: "The donations are mainly merchants and nobles, right?"
"It's the money earned by the rich businessman... and the taxes from the city lord. It sounds right, but the question is, where did the money come from in the beginning? It should be in the hands of civilians? The way for merchants to make money is to put one place.
The things that are not there are, and then they earn much more than the cost, and the nobles, ha, as long as there are troops and swords, they can do nothing but collect taxes from the farmers, so they
Deprive these things that should belong to the farmer and give them to the temple, and then what? Can the temple with peace of mind be considered justice?”
"Since he is not justice, why do you still preach justice? What is their justice? Their doctrine is to help those in need. Now there are many poor people who are unable to eat enough, but they are indifferent,
Is it a sin for them to refuse to save them? Just by standing by and watching, it is enough to make them die, right?"
Carlos had only nodded or shook his head for a moment, but he didn't seem to know whether he should nod or shook his head... because the question raised by this person was not something his mind could figure out.
.
Or, to give his subordinates enough time to think about this problem that may have to bother the human race in the world for thousands of years, the psychic warlock slowly packed up all the spoils before turning to the arch at the end of the empty field and spoke.
"Well, those Lord of the Dawn Lord, and Lord of the Lord of the Lord... How long do you want to listen there?"
In the sudden turn of everyone's eyes, the space trembled, revealing an old man in a simple priest's robe, and behind him, two sets of fully armed armored with holy light flashing.
"Sure enough, the evil people are cunning enough."
Under a pair of armor, a muffled sneer came out: "But you have predicted that now is your death, right? You heretic, evil devil! No matter how you play with your forked tongue, you must be for us today.
The dead compatriots…”
His voice gradually became hoarse and his strong body shook twice, almost falling down!
"I have said a long time ago that when you can't suppress others with your thoughts and words, you can use force. This is indeed the easiest and the most correct way, but before that, can you also use your brain?
Do you think your conspiracy can succeed? A fierce but stupid demon, the guidance of the morning light is everywhere, and you will pay the price you deserve for your conspiracy and sin!
Can you imagine it with your brain? I calculated the explosives in your temple, and accurately detonated it, attracting an appropriate number of spectators and a suitable opponent, and an appropriate reason to make the reputation of the Temple of Morning Light with the reputation of the Temple of Morning Light
and the substance have suffered immeasurable damage. All of this is done when you don't know...
So you think that after I finished these almost seamless things, I attracted your suspicion in the last key part and made you discover all your plans. How likely is this?
The priest was stunned.
This possibility does seem to be very slim.
But it did happen.
No, no, this did not happen, but someone deliberately guided it! The main priest came to this conclusion almost instantly! Although he immediately began to doubt whether this idea was correct, he still instinctively chose to retreat.
!Because the person in front of him was undoubtedly the most terrifying and malicious opponent he had ever met,
Don't worry, I will let you meet your God, but if you plan to let him avenge you, then you are probably destined to be disappointed.rs!.
