In the hall of the church, a group of mercenaries were waiting. The leader was a middle-aged man with a strong build, short hair and no beard, wearing a silver chain armor and a purple cloak behind his back. His eyes were piercing. He was Da Xiwen, the leader of the Holy Feather Mercenary Corps.
Lucio fell into the hands of the mercenaries behind Da Xiwen, and was obviously under control. Since it was on the territory of the church, the spearmen hadn't suffered much for the time being.
"Deacon Matil," Da Xiwen said to the deacon of the opposite church, "Thank you for your cooperation this time, please forgive me for the disturbance, I will treat you later, and go to the Vanilla Tavern for a good drink."
Matil showed a smile: "It's just a matter of raising your hand. Head Da Xiwen has an old relationship with the church, so there is no need to be so polite."
Da Xiwen nodded, glanced at Lucio, and frowned slightly. Earlier, he received a report from a member of the regiment that the queen bee crystal of the iron grenade bee was snatched away. His first reaction was anger, and then he became angry again when he heard that the bold man was Lucio who was usually ridiculed as a waste. surprised.
The Holy Feather Mercenary Corps is the most elite team in Gudan Town, and now they have been robbed of the quest items, and they swaggered to go to the mercenary union to deliver the quest, which is like slapping Sheng Yu in the face in public.
—When Lucio delivered the mission, there were many mercenaries present, and this matter has spread rapidly.
Although Lucio was the one who rescued the two members of the regiment first and then snatched the Queen Bee Crystal, but in any case, this matter must regain face. Use this opportunity to teach Lucio a lesson, so as to deter the rest of the competitors. So after Da Xiwen found out that Lucio and his accomplices were going to the Church of Light in the town, he immediately led his men to chase after him.
Da Xiwen has some friendship with the church deacon Matil, and he has taken over the task of escorting church personnel, and he is also familiar with Pastor Mana. Pastor Na will also save some face.
What made Daxiwen puzzled was that when Lucio saw himself waiting for someone to come, he was only a little surprised, and then he didn't resist, and let his side capture him, with a sneer of indifference all the time on his face, his usual decadent look Compared with the appearance, it seems to be a different person.
At this moment, an angry voice came from the inner door: "Who is it! How dare you make trouble in this sacred place of faith!"
A bloated figure appeared in front of everyone. It was Pastor Mana, the head of the Bright Church in Gudan Town.
"Master Pastor." Da Xiwen bowed slightly, "Please forgive me for taking the liberty..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mana's cold voice: "Da Xiwen, you are so brave! You actually desecrated the highest belief of light!"
Da Xiwen didn't expect to be slapped with a big hat by Pastor Mana as soon as he came up, and immediately took out a small black bag: "We are all vulgar mercenaries, please forgive me if we are rude. It is a little compensation for damage to the facility, please accept it."
In fact, not even a single piece of wood was damaged in the church hall. Praising Fatty's usual temperament, the so-called "compensation" is nothing more than giving some benefits. This is enough to give Fatty enough face. degree it.
Unexpectedly, the fat man didn't look at the small bag uncharacteristically, and his face became more and more gloomy: "What do you mean? You want to openly bribe a glorious pastor who has dedicated his life to the light faith? I'll give you ten minutes, immediately Take back the bribe, and then let Lucio leave here, otherwise the actions of the Holy Feather Mercenary Group will be regarded as an attack on the church!"
Da Xiwen didn't expect Fatty's attitude to be so tough, and he frowned even tighter: "My lord, Lucio and his accomplices robbed my regiment members, and even delivered the employment mission under false names, causing my team to suffer huge losses. Now I want to take him and that accomplice away to seek justice... "
"Joke!" The fat man sneered with disdain: "A priest, will you rob your members?"
As soon as these words came out, not only the Holy Feather Mercenary Corps and Deacon Matil, but even Lucio himself was stunned: Me? Clergy
The spearman's reaction speed was good, and he continued to remain silent very smartly—although he didn't see his master, but judging from Mana's tough attitude, his master's plan should have succeeded. Sheng Yu's strength, to the level of the master, is a scornful ant, and it is enough to let the fat man do it.
"Lord Mana, as we all know, Lucio is an ordinary mercenary, when did he become a priest?" Da Xiwen glanced at the surprised deacon Matil: "Deacon Matil, what do you think about this matter?" do you know?"
Martil is not a fool. He saw some clues from the abnormal attitude of the fat man's immediate boss, and rolled his eyes: "In terms of personnel appointments, the priest is usually appointed by himself, and there is no need to go through me, a little deacon."
The fat man nodded and was satisfied with Martyr's reaction: "Lucio has always been inspired by the light. He has secretly joined the church and is responsible for investigation and security work. Now he is even more fortunate to be a squire of a quasi-light knight. Although his position is low, but as a believer who wholeheartedly serves the light and a follower of a noble knight, it is impossible for him to rob! What is the crime of falsely accusing a clergyman? Taking a step back, even if this clergyman has any faults or crimes, it can only be judged by the church, otherwise even the laws of the kingdom cannot be imposed on him, let alone mere mercenaries like you !"
This sentence caused the mercenaries to be restless, and many people showed angry expressions. The Fengbao beside the fat man had a fierce temperament, and when he saw this, he immediately roared, and his hair stood on end. If you want to rush forward, there is no such thing as the docile cat in front of Chen Rui before.
"Da Xiwen, I just want to ask, before you decide to point your sword at the church, are you ready to bear all the consequences?" Fatty's own strength is only barely at the level of a soldier, and he is actually very afraid of the combat power of mercenaries , but the tone is still extremely tough.
"Everyone, calm down!" Da Xiwen exuded an intimidating aura, suppressing the tense scene, and the wind leopard immediately felt the pressure from the opponent, showing strong vigilance and hostility.
Da Xiwen took a deep look at Lucio, and said, "Since Lucio is a member of the church, there must be some misunderstanding about what happened today. I will hold those members accountable for their misreporting. Please forgive me, my lord pastor."
Attacking the church is a very bad crime. Once a conflict breaks out, even if Lucio and that accomplice can be captured today, they will be chased by the Knights of Light. By then, not only members of the mercenary group, but also family members The danger of being sent to the stake.
The strength of the Holy Feather Mercenary Corps is nothing but an insignificant ant in front of the behemoth Church of Light, which can be easily wiped out.
To put it bluntly, Lucio is just a fuss. In the face of the threat of life, killing others to make an example and showing face are all vain, and we can't take this risk.
Under Da Xiwen's gesture, Lucio was released, and the spearman still looked very calm, saying "You are a beauty, I don't care; you are a monster, I don't care either... I just want to be tall" Struggling silently", the calm expression of such god-level replies.
Da Xiwen was slightly surprised. He didn't know what happened to this "bad gun" who had been decadent for a year, but what was certain was that this was definitely not the old Lucio.
The Holy Feather Mercenary Group left the church resentfully. Lucio quickly thanked Mana. The fat man patted the Lancer's shoulder encouragingly. How is "Li Cha"'s mental strength recovering
Fatty didn't know that when he was confronting the Shengyu mercenary group, in the prayer hall, Chen Rui was undergoing incredible changes.
What appeared in front of Chen Rui was his old enemy Shura who had been troubling him all this time, but now Shura had become a strange existence—an incarnation outside his body.
Since he evolved into Emperor Jixing, it was the first time for Chen Rui to display the skill of incarnation outside of his body. Since this was separated from the existence of the super system, the prompt of the super system was "unknown".
After displaying it, the characteristics of an incarnation outside the body suddenly appeared in Chen Rui's mind. If this kind of avatar is a clone of the main body, it can become an independent conscious life body, but it is completely controlled by the main body and can be withdrawn freely. In the event of an accidental death, it takes a corresponding amount of time and the power of faith to be reborn.
The strength and attributes of the avatar are exactly the same as Chen Rui's main body, both are S+ level, and the spiritual power is S++, but unlike the previous skills that Shura has all the super systems, the avatar has the independent power of Shura: supernova explosion, the way of the other Returning to the other body, devouring different powers, mirage magic power, undead power, etc. In addition, there is the most special power for Chen Rui - the wheel of Hera.
Right now, the phantom of Hera's wheel is appearing around the statue of the God of Light. Below it is a disk covered with simple patterns. There are various columns of different heights on the disk. The whole space is filled with a strange feeling. force field.
Shura turned his body into a beam of blood, wrapping around the statue of light.
When the blood light began to seep into the statue of the God of Light, it suddenly received a strong repelling force, and the blood light was shaken into circles of ripples. At this moment, runes appeared on the pillars of the Wheel of Hera, and The disc below began to rotate, and every time it rotated, the blood light penetrated one point more.
Gradually, the repulsive force emitted by the statue was assimilated by the blood light, and a phantom began to appear on the originally blurred facial features of the God of Light. The phantom twisted and gradually became Shura's appearance, that is, Chen Rui's. appearance!
Next, Chen Rui felt a wave of pure power entering Shura's body from the Wheel of Hera. This is... the power of faith!
This power of faith is different from the faith that Chen Rui felt in the super system, and it seems that it cannot be absorbed directly. However, at this time, something even more wonderful happened. At the beginning, a little bit of it was decomposed and fused, and it began to be transmitted into Chen Rui's body, and the generation speed of the belief crystal in the status bar of the super system suddenly doubled.
Shura is equivalent to a converter, storing the belief of the God of Light, and then removing the chaff and saving the chaff, and transforming it into the power of faith that Chen Rui can absorb and transmit it to the super system.
Compared with the speed and amount of Shura's absorption of the belief in the God of Light, the speed of absorption after transformation is relatively slow, but it is enough to make Chen Rui ecstatic.
Asura, indeed, can steal and transform the power of faith!
So in this way, the task of crystallizing a million beliefs has changed from impossible to possible!
