Praise of the Light to the Dark Knight

After tidying up, they walked out of the alley, thinking that they were a little relaxed, and then they were slightly shocked by the scene in front of them.

On the main street outside, the residents of Ciaran once again organized a routine petition parade, and went home for dinner together contentedly.Et Gaya and the others just caught up with the end of the parade.

To quote Uncle Blacksmith, "Russians are all pursuers." This ordinary southern border town is located at the junction of two great human empires, but there is only one on the border, so the trade is justified, after all, it is far from the other A large empire - the Holy Dragon Empire - the kingdom of giant dragons and dragon knights is not far away, and further south it can even reach the territory of elves.

Nominally, this place belongs to Leo Kingdom, but...

"We are Oslante Diyin, so we don't belong to the death-destroyed Leoland!" said the uncle.

—They actually petitioned for... treason? ? ?Et Gaya's expression was even more dazed than after being beaten by his teacher for no reason.

Compared with the Leo Kingdom that smells of corruption, Oslant, one of the most powerful countries in the entire continent, is indeed more fascinating. I heard that they are so rich that they maintain a magician army that burns money all the year round. The central main hall of the Temple of Light of Faith is also located in the capital of this empire!

Coupled with the fact that the royal court of the Leo Kingdom is busy, they haven't seen the border towns for several years, and all the officials are already paid by Oslant, but Leo has no strength to manage and feels embarrassing and won't let go!

But... the people in this borderland are too naive and cute, you want to collectively belong to your own country's competitors, or even be regarded as hostile countries, and you organize a parade?And there is no chaos at all, no mob doing inflammatory stunts, just everyone walking down the street holding hands, smiling, and singing?

Can Rebellion be more professional?

"Huh? Russian rice oil is rebelling!" said the uncle with a strange accent in confusion.

Etgaya didn't know what to think. He saw a group of girls with skirts passing by. After finishing all the work, he came out to rest and entertain, play and parade with his girlfriends, and participated in state affairs.

——So much so that Et Gaya couldn't help asking the priest: "Is this the same world as the place we just escaped from? Is this still the Diana Continent?" Isn't that teleportation scroll connected to the gate of another world?

And when he turned his head, he saw that the expression of the priest beside him was quite serious and full of doubts.

Leo's decay did not take place in a day or two. Even if the newly appointed king is considered young and promising, it is hard to get back. Right now, even the royal city has not been restored, let alone this southern border land, and it is a loss to the peaceful scene in front of him. Otherwise, there will be riots in the borderlands, adding fuel to the flames.

It seems that in order to express their determination to "treason", the simple and simple residents of Xialan not only sang and walked on the street, but also decided that their living habits are moving closer to Auslant, and even more so by entering the temple to serve, or Proud to learn magic.

——As we all know, in addition to being the country with the largest number of people who believe in light, the Oslant Empire has also received the support of mages from a long time ago.As early as thousands of years ago, spellcasters were still regarded as heretics with black magic in their hands. Only the imperial royal family had the insight to provide rare shelter for this group.

Even today, this ancient empire is still full of glory, and it still maintains a good relationship with the group of spellcasters. It is said that their magic legion cannot be imitated by other countries. Although they are all average spellcasters, but If it wasn't for historical reasons, or if they wanted to spend money to raise mages, there weren't many mages who were willing to accept orders!

There are at most a few court magicians in other countries, and most of them are from noble families who are self-produced and sold. Most high-level spellcasters only love spells and knowledge, and disdain power, but no matter how weird their personalities are, they will make special exceptions. One last bit of goodwill towards this country.

But seeing that the citizens of Xialan city have started to learn magic for all in order to show their determination, it can only be said to be neither fish nor fowl.Etjaye had already seen the third basic elementary school for magic - on the same street, it was really dumbfounding.

This city is so abnormal!

In addition, mages are an extremely popular profession here, and Etjaye firmly believes that it is because there is no real mage here at all—those who can master magic have only been a high-end minority since ancient times.If these simple and innocent people on the frontier saw the tricks and eccentricities of great magicians, they would definitely hate magic immediately.

Etjaye couldn't help but touch his forehead... Enough with the little brat over there, stop trying to throw fireballs at me, you can go to the Magic Academy if you can squeeze out a spark!

He and Asius walked on the street, and wherever the priest went, everyone was welcome.But it is worth mentioning that Et Gaya seems to have received more attention. Since the public is completely ignorant of the species of sword-wielding priests, and the temple priests never publicize how high their force value is, so Asius wears this suit Walking on the street, most people thought he was just an ordinary little priest, or even the servant of the knight lord next to him—you can see that his robes only reached his knees, so he must have a low status and do rough work.

——In fact, Et Gaya is very clear that as a sword-wielding priest, he will only come from one place, the central hall, the core of the light belief.

There are statues standing on the side of the road, which are the gods of the various elements of the mages. On the fountain in the central square is the consistent gentle female image of the God of Light. On the stall under the statue, there are arcane badges and words written with the blessings of the God of Light. Souvenirs were actually sold at the same booth, and it was still a package deal. This time it was replaced by a passing priest, which was a bit dumbfounding.

——The town is prosperous and warm, with a medium size. Although the people come and go, they are lively but extremely harmonious. Every corner is peaceful and comfortable. Even people's troubles are so innocent and down-to-earth. Participating in politics is like a joke.

The priest looked around, as if he didn't relax after the rest of his life. He looked around and said, "Maybe I haven't seen enough. I have never seen such a peaceful city. It looks like an elf city." There is an atmosphere."

It is a bit too simple and simple, and Etjaye will smile and nod to every passer-by when he sees him.

"Isn't this very good? Have you really fallen in love with the Lich's dungeon?" The knight teased nonchalantly, followed the priest around, "Would you like some souvenirs?"

He picked up a set meal gift package on the stall, which made the priest beside him smile wryly, and waved his hands hastily: "No, no, there is no need for this, I am really very poor." Put it in a special package and sell it, let alone buy it.

"Xialan. The name of this city is Xialan. Is it the famous Xialan? This is the birthplace of the legendary peace fire? Thousands of years ago, the Shadow Moon Temple, the place where the dragon clan and the elves made a peace covenant? If so , It’s understandable that there is a sense of peace everywhere.” Et Gaya happily lay on the square monument.

"No, go southeast from here, enter the territory of the Holy Dragon Empire, and go deep into the plains in the heart of the dense forest. There is a military and trade center also named Xialan, and that is the real place of the treaty." Asia Hughes followed to look at the stele, "As for this one, I'm afraid it was built after the discovery of the same name... for the development of tourism."

Atgaya said with his tongue: "Fakes, look up to the money, there are too many counterfeit products these days."

——Even the branch hall of the Guangming Temple here is a counterfeit in the eyes of the two of them.

The building of the temple looks good, but the clergy inside... have come home from get off work?They watched a man dressed like a priest walk out the door, took off his robe, and then a fat lady who was obviously his wife threw away the bouquet she had just used for the parade and jumped up to hug him. The fat lady said that she didn't want to cook today, so she went to a restaurant to celebrate, um, to celebrate getting off work.

"I thought the priests of light in the temple generally didn't get married." Et Gaya said blankly, and hugged his wife when he got home from get off work. The scene was really outrageous.

Asius sighed: "...Only the 100 priests in the central main hall are required not to enter into secular marriage contracts. Other priests can marry, but they are not allowed to voluntarily divorce. But after marriage, the priest himself must live in the temple. The home is often nicknamed the 'love hotel', and priests like this who can still go to work..."

"Don't tell me that the temple here is also for the development of tourism." Et Gaya had no hope. He felt that he had just escaped from the terror of the Lich, and then fell into another terror—but he couldn't Describe in words.

"Actually, ignoring the strange atmosphere of the whole city, this picture is still very warm." Asius spread his hands.

Et Gaya maintained his weird expression and said, "Priest, I doubt your belief when you say that..."

Then the priest actually smiled: "The God of Light taught us, 'Everyone who bathes in the Holy Light in the world should receive blessings and gifts, and their sins should be forgiven', but our temple still has adjudicative panels and courts, and sinners will not only receive Forgiveness, hanging awaits them. So there is nothing to doubt, this is worldly life. Come on let's go in, hope there is someone on the 'night watch' in this branch of the temple who will recognize the emblem of my central nave and provide food Instead of asking me for accommodation fees like a hotel, I really don’t have money.”

Fortunately, there is indeed a paladin on night shift. The young, freckled, furry boy was shocked at first, then stammered and told them to wait a while, and dug out a copy of the commandments of the temple, After checking it carefully, he said with a blushing face that according to the regulations, the priests and brothers of the temple can of course live here to bathe in the blessings of the gods together, but a certain knight—need to pay for accommodation, and it is not cheap.

At this time, Et Gaya's face was already darker than the color of his black hair.

"The orthodox temple also has this rule?"

Asius bowed his head and hesitated for a while, then replied: "A serious temple will not fail to see your dark attributes, but facing the dark knights who are not working in the Shadow Moon Temple, they will directly reject you. No, it should be said that it would be considered lenient and benevolent if you don’t first arrest and investigate whether you have committed illegal activities.”

Then Etjaya's face was enough to scare the paladin brother in front of him into tears.

As a dark knight who is "serving at the Temple of the Shadow Moon", before the poor paladin cried out in fright, Etgaya indifferently took out the hot copper plates from his pocket, counted out a neat stack, Put it on the table, with an expression of "the world hurt me too much".

Because even after paying the money, the paladin did not arrange a room for him, so he could only go to the priest's room to lay a bed on the floor, so the paladin who was suspected of being a counterfeit product was embarrassed to charge him for dinner, and Et Gaya got two Free black bread, and Asius, who is the brother of the temple, also got an extra bowl of corn soup and a piece of dried bacon.

However, the black bread is so hard that it can be used as a weapon in a street fight. The knight and the priest are squeezed into a room, and you share the only bowl of soup with each mouthful, stuffing the bread into your own throat.

Etjaye kept his terribly black face, and said, "If I read correctly before going upstairs, your paladin brother at least eats soft white bread and fresh ham, besides soup and Fruit, and a bowl of vegetable salad."

At this time, the difference between the melee profession and the spellcaster's physical fitness is very obvious. The priest sitting opposite him is in danger of being suffocated by bread stuck in his throat at any time. After swallowing the horrible food, his face became even paler: "Maybe This is God's test for us, and I can't ask everyone to have lofty and pious beliefs, so be yourself."

Atgaya patted him on the back to help him calm down, shook the dry bread in his hand at him, and replied mockingly: "Of course, the premise is that you don't die of suffocation from eating bread."

The Dark Knight and the Priest of Light died together in the guest room of the temple. The cause of death was strange and painful, and they touched each other's back. No matter how you think about it, it is bad news.
