Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 158 Faith Shakes
Rhodes couldn't help sighing, and the villagers seemed to gradually believe what the knight said after hearing what he said.

The villagers felt that what the knight said made sense, because he told them why they worked hard every day, but in the end they could barely eat enough to survive.That is because they have been burdened with original sin since birth, and their current hard work is paying for their sins.

Rhodes didn't believe the knight's words at all, he just found it ridiculous.

"Master Knight, I only have one silver coin in my body. I wonder if it can redeem my sins?" It was the village elder who had had some unpleasant troubles with Baron and the others before.

After listening to the knight's words, he finally understood why his life was so miserable, and found a reason to excuse himself again.

"Of course." The knight smiled slightly, and then he raised his voice a bit higher, "Who else is willing to dedicate all his money to our Lord to redeem the original sin he has borne?"

As soon as the words fell, a few older villagers asked to use money to redeem their sins.

"Should we continue with our previous ideas? There is no need for those bastards to do anything. These people are completely willing to hand over their money to them." Baron was annoyed.

Michel was stunned watching the scene where the ignorant villagers were scrambling to pay for their sins, and the members of the Knights of Dawn did not persecute those villagers. Those villagers willingly gave their money to them.

"Of course it is necessary. They are bewitching and deceiving these villagers. They will definitely regret it when they regain their senses." Rhode said. Be deceived by the knight's words.

"What if what he said is true? If the Lord can really atone for their original sin." Michelle said dully.

"You don't believe what he said, do you? Didn't you say that your god is the only true god?" Rhode looked at Michel strangely.

"The god our knights believe in is actually the same as the god they believe in. They are both the lord of light and warmth who give us light and warmth. It's just that we believe in the lord of different times." Misel said looking at the sun in the sky .

"How do you divide it into different time periods? Isn't it all the same person?" Baron couldn't help laughing.

Michel shook his head, "It is one, it is also ten thousand, it is an instant, and it is also eternal. The Lord's clones are infinite, and many knight orders believe in an incarnation of the Lord."

Before this, Rhodes really thought that this world was also a god in a broad sense, but just now he gave up this idea after learning that Michel and the others believed in the sun in the sky.

This world is a planet, and 90.00% of the sun in the sky is a star, and divine arts may be similar to magic and martial arts, but they belong to different systems and use different energies when used.

"Then do you think you can redeem your original sin with such a small amount of money? I remember that you didn't tell me that before. You used to despise their behavior. How has it changed now? What if I massacred people for no reason? All the residents of several cities will be forgiven if I dedicate all my money to their gods?" Rhodes looked at Michel and asked with a smile.

"It's different. These villagers didn't do the wrong things you said. They don't just donate money. This is their pious belief. The merciful and tolerant Lord will definitely help them redeem their original sins after accepting their wishes. ’ retorted Michelle.

"Since your lord is merciful and tolerant, why didn't you just eliminate their original sin when they were born?" Rhodes asked back, "I don't know if your lord will eliminate their original sin, I only know that if the villagers have all the money Tricked away, they won't live for a few days."

Michelle was stunned when he heard it.

"If it is tolerant and benevolent, why do so many hard-working people have no clothes and no food to eat? If it is just, why are there so many evil people doing evil in this world? If it is just, Why are there still civilians and nobles in the world? If it is omnipotent, why is there so much evil and so much suffering in this world? Why do you turn a blind eye when your companion is about to die? All of this is just deceiving yourself and others." Luo De continued.

After hearing this, Michelle turned pale and was very confused.

"I'm going back to ask the bishop and the head of the group these questions." Misail's voice trembled a little.

Baron laughed beside him, "You said me and Hamer before, aren't you the same now?"

"Really?" Rhodes touched his nose awkwardly.

"Forget it, stop talking nonsense, let's go be a bad guy, drive those scammers away, and return the money they cheated to those fools." After Baron finished speaking, he steered his horse and rushed to the middle of the village. space.

Rhodes and Hamer also followed, and Michelle was still thinking about what Rhodes said just now. She also had such thoughts a long time ago, but why did she forget these questions?
Is even my faith in the Lord beginning to waver?Misaier suddenly thought of a senior, a senior who taught her to fight, but later betrayed her belief.

The members of the Dawn Knights saw the three Rhodes charging forward on horseback, drew out the long swords around their waists, raised the shields in their hands, controlled the horses under them, and rushed towards Baron and the others.

"Don't kill them here, I don't want to experience the feeling of being wanted." Hammer said to the excited Baron.

"What are you afraid of! We would have left here long ago when the news got out. Where would they find it in such a big world?" Baron gripped his horse's belly and rushed over.

The villagers in the clearing ran away in panic, afraid of being affected by the fighting.

Baron laughed and swung the giant ax at the knight who had been bewitching the villagers before.

The knight raised his shield nervously, a little afraid that the shield would not be able to withstand Baron's blow.

His idea was right, he guessed right.

The next moment Baron's giant ax landed on the rider's shield, cutting him in half together with the shield, half of his body flew high, splashing blood on the surrounding people, and finally fell to the ground with a dull sound. the sound of.

And Hamer also smashed a rider off his horse with the war hammer in his hand.

Rhodes knew that he was not good at horse fighting, so he got off the horse before.

Seeing that Baron had already killed someone, he didn't hold back any more. Several sword qi flew out, cutting off the front hoofs of the unprotected horses under the riders.

As the horses fell, the riders on them also fell to the ground.

Rhodes would not admit that he was actually aiming at the rider on the war horse.

He walked over and stabbed the necks of the three riders who were about to stand up with his sword. Generally, the armor in this position is the easiest to pierce.

"Haha! Fools, don't think of yourself as a big shot. You don't bear any original sin. If you don't want to be hungry for the next few days, you can get your money back from those corpses." Baron rode a horse Laughed and left here.

Rhodes originally wanted to touch the corpse, but seeing that Baron and Hamer were leaving, he had no choice but to give up the idea.

He turned on his traveling horse and followed...
