Episode 1 Martial Arts Master Chapter 20 Success or Success
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, washing away all traces of the devil's presence, and the fire was extinguished. Shen Zhimo let the water droplets flow down his face without wiping it, and looked around worriedly.
"I don't know if you are a citizen of the empire, but you'd better think more about yourself." Tyreseer said a rare long sentence: "Such a big incident happened in the Kuzeskal Port, the empire
The top management should receive the news soon. They must conduct a thorough investigation and clean out any traces left by the devil. Do you know what cleaning means? It means that anyone who sees the devil or comes into contact with the devil must be killed.
They call it pollution prevention."
"What does it matter?" Shen Zhimo said proudly: "They will come whenever they come. Am I still afraid?"
"That's because you don't understand the power of the Imperial Holy See. The strength of the Pope and the Archbishop is no weaker than that of the Abyss Lord just now. Their thoughts are different from the tolerance of the Moon God. They are more extreme and do not tolerate anyone who pollutes the Holy Light.
Anyone who slanders the Holy Light will be labeled a heretic and burned at the stake. Do you remember the diplomatic incident in 757?"
Shen Zhimo shook his head, he couldn't even understand a word of Samur.
"In 757, the pope at that time gave instructions that no one who did not believe in the Holy Light was allowed to live in the capital, so a large number of elves and dwarves were expelled, and some were burned to death. In the end, the alliance almost broke up. Fortunately, that
The pope fell ill and died two years later. The new pope suspended this decree and devoted himself to repairing the damaged relationship of the alliance. This way they avoided a bigger incident from happening. You can also imagine from here that the most important thing the Holy See did with them was
What is the attitude of the enemy and the demon clan?"
"I understand. The key is, are you sure that the Pope's power is comparable to the Abyss Lord just now?"
Terry Hill showed a look of retrospect: "I met him in the 27th year, when he just took office..."
Shen Zhimo had to interrupt him: "Twenty-seven years ago, you were a child, what did you know?"
"You don't seem to know much about our elven race. The life of elves is extremely long. I have forgotten when I was born, but twenty-seven years ago I was already a member of the Moon Temple... Well, it's nothing. Anyway, the Pope and his leadership
The power of the Holy See is very powerful. It can be estimated that within three hours at most, Ilida City, the capital of the Senian Empire in the north, will receive news that demons are invading the port. Then, based on their consistent actions, they should send a large number of
The army is assisting in the investigation - cleaning is more appropriate. The port is about six days away from Elida City, but they may order the garrison in the nearby city to act first. As expected, tomorrow morning, this place will turn into blood.
furnace."
Shen Zhimo pondered: "So, the problem is serious? Those of us who have been in contact with demons must be purged?"
"Yes. Bishops and priests will use special instruments to identify people who are contaminated with demonic aura, and then the knights around them will capture these people and burn them to death. If you are cursed, you will definitely not be able to escape."
Shen Zhimo's face turned ugly: "Are you kidding me? Will I let him slaughter me?"
"Of course not, but you can't defeat tens of thousands of knights. Every knight is stronger than Simon. Moreover, they uphold the spirit of dedication and will not be afraid of death. They will only regard it as glory." Terry Hill still said
He said it very calmly.
"Damn it! If a good man doesn't suffer the consequences, I can't die at the hands of an unknown person. Terry Hill, let's leave the port first. Do you think there is any way to eliminate the devil's aura?"
"It's very simple. I just need to use the star prayer gifted by the moon god to eliminate it. However, my mana will not be fully restored until the full moon night a week later, and your curse cannot be eliminated."
Shen Zhimo occasionally turned around and said with a smile: "You know a lot, kid."
"You made me fall in love, it's that simple." Terry Hill's face was still as calm as water: "Now consider the next step. Your partners are not dead yet, maybe we should save them."
Shen Zhimo no longer had any doubts, touched his chin and said: "Well, old Hamal treated me well, he must have been contaminated with the devil's aura. If he didn't go together, he would have been purged by the Holy Knights of the Holy See, and there were two apprentices.
Their mother entrusted me with it..." Thinking that Brother Tang En's parents might have been killed, he couldn't help but sigh, and then turned to curse the hateful Lord of the Abyss.
"Are there more than ten members of the Tiger Mercenary Group?"
"I am not a good person, and they are not my friends."
Tyreseer stared at him and said: "No, it takes a lot of effort to leave the port and reach a safe city. They are all suitable people."
"It should be fine. You know, a few years ago I lived alone in Shennongjia for half a year."
Terry Hill was stunned for a moment: "Where is Shennongjia? You don't look like a barbarian from the southern swamps. You seem to be from another world."
Shen Zhimo covered it up lightly: "I just wandered outside for a long time, and maybe I will return to my hometown one day. Do you think we need these people?"
Tyreseer said: "I don't need it, I'm just an elf. But you do."
"Why?"
"Because the curse on you is not removed quickly, you will lose your will within three years. I thought of a feasible way. There is the greatest temple in the capital of the empire, Elida City, which is dedicated to the God of Holy Light.
, and there is a solar diamond that supports the arcane energy of the entire capital. If you can get the diamond and extract its power, you may be able to remove your curse. Your dark aura is too strong, and any method other than diamonds will not work."
Shen Zhimo touched the wound on his chest, and he still had some unsolvable doubts in his heart: "Is the problem as serious as you said? How can we enter the capital of the empire? According to you, the aura of darkness all over the body will soon be taken away by the people of the Holy See.
Discover."
"No, apart from me, only the Pope will feel your dark aura. This aura is very unique and has no records in ancient classics."
"Then why do we have to bring these people from the mercenary group with us?"
"You have to change your identity, and they can cover it up for you." Terry Hill said: "I have been traveling in the realm of humans for twenty years. I am very familiar with them and have accumulated a lot of experience in getting along with people."
Shen Zhimo put away the knife, looked at the ruins around him and sighed: "Okay, tell me what should be done?"
Tyreseer said: "First, we must leave the port tonight, otherwise we will face a purge by the Holy See. Second, sneak into Elida City and find a way to persuade the Pope to lend the Sundial Diamond."
Shen Zhimo sneered: "How easy is it to convince the Pope?"
"If you don't have diamonds, you can only wait for death, so no matter how difficult the conditions are, you must do it. Specifically, you must become a person with status in the empire, and then exert influence through the emperor or prime minister, or the great nobles, maybe
It can be done, but the process is very long. If there are no accidents, you have to succeed within three years."
"Sounds interesting. I like to control other people's life, death and destiny, so that's it. It seems that the mercenary group is indeed useful."
