Views:

A shirtless black-haired man holding a silver sword stood in the middle of a dilapidated street with no good brick left.

At the end of the battle, the elements and magic that had been fluctuating due to the battle between Joshua and Moze had gradually calmed down, and the smoke and dust had dispersed. Under the induction of the soldiers, not even a single person within a few hundred meters dared to watch, whether it was This is true for local residents and the private soldiers of the Wilson family.

With a burst of bright but not dazzling magic light, the silver sword changed form and turned into a girl with silver hair and green eyes. She looked a little confused, with a look on her face like "Who am I? Where am I? What's for dinner?" expression.

"Master... is the fight over now?"

"That's right." Joshua nodded simply: "Whether it was the uncle who planned to steal my title or the golden warrior of the Wilson family who planned this behind the scenes, I have completely eliminated them!"

He seemed very happy and even talked more than before: "I know that there must be many plans, many conspiracies, many back-ups, many countermeasures behind the support of the puppet earl - but fuck it!"

Looking sideways at the corpse of the silver-haired golden warrior who was still staring at death, Joshua said disdainfully: "They think they are smart, but in fact their thinking is too superficial. If I kill them all, what's the use of having thousands of plans and conspiracies? A bunch of idiots!"

"No, Master... I don't really understand conspiracies and things like that... I mean, it only took two minutes to finish. Isn't it too fast?"

The silver-haired Shenji shook her head firmly, she really didn't understand this kind of thing, Yingying just stared at Joshua with a warlike expression of dissatisfaction: "I've been waiting for so long, but you only lasted two minutes? "

"ah?"

"I've been waiting for so long!"

"... I have to say, Firefly, it's all thanks to you this time." Joshua's tone returned to his original low and serious tone: "Without you, the power of glory will be very passive when facing the enemy this time. With a piece of equipment that can block the wind, the outcome of the battle with Moze is hard to predict."

"Yes...really?" The silver-haired girl seemed a little surprised when she heard the compliment for the first time.

"Of course!" Joshua confirmed.

Hearing such an affirmative reply, Yingying immediately replied subconsciously: "It is my honor to fight for the Lord!"

Then, Miss Shenji raised the corners of her mouth slightly, looking like she wanted to smile but was forced to be reserved, and happily followed behind Joshua.

(…that’s fine.)

Nodding, after Joshua got his weapons, he no longer stayed where he was. He looked around, determined the location, and set off immediately: "Let's go to the church next, and we have to be fast."

"Ring the bell to inform the people?"

"No, heal my hand."

This is indeed a very serious matter. Since the [Provoke] skill can suppress 80% of the pain and greatly increase the user's strength, Joshua currently does not feel that he is almost reduced to flesh. His left hand hurts, but he knows with rich experience that when the effect of the skill wears off and the adrenal hormones are no longer secreted, the sudden pain will be enough to make the Predator break into a cold sweat and collapse.

Although he couldn't bear it, why should he suffer this

Naturally, Firefly would not raise any objections, so the two of them walked quickly towards the cathedral not far away.

Saint Laurent Cathedral.

The seven gods of the human race are the god of power and justice, the god of love and decay, the god of order and destruction, the god of law and freedom, the god of protection and transformation, the god of technology and conspiracy, and the god of life.

There is no distinction between the seven gods in terms of rank, but in sacrificial rituals, the God of Life has always been the main one. No one knows the reason for this, and many players have speculated, but there is no clear answer.

The seven gods have no real names or images. No matter the statues, murals, or even paintings, there is no trace of their appearance. There are only symbols of each god. In addition to responding to people's prayers and giving answers, Basically there is no movement, as if it does not exist in this world.

But Joshua knew that it would not take long before the God of Justice, one of the seven gods, would join forces with the Metal Dragon God to knock down the five-color Dragon God from the barrier of order, banish him from the boundless heaven outside the world, and uncover the great demon. The prelude before the tide comes, the world-class epic event [Crazy Dragon Disaster].

Now, what stands in front of the warrior is the largest gathering place of the Church of God of Justice in the North, the St. Laurent Cathedral named after His first saint. The black ring-shaped holy emblem hangs high on the top of the bell tower. Shining with dim light.

There is a huge stone tablet in front of the doorstep, with an inscription on it:

[Lightless justice requires force to promote it.]

It sounds extremely serious, but that's actually what it is. After all, it is a church that faces the public. No matter how serious the appearance is, it must be close to the people. Joshua turned his head and looked to the other side, where there was another stone tablet:

[Monday to Friday, closed in the morning, hymn session in the afternoon, doctrinal explanation in the evening]

[Saturday afternoon dinner, Sunday morning prayer, afternoon gathering]

There is also a line of small words below: [Bring your own tableware]

After all, it is just a church, and it cannot be too demanding in terms of seriousness. Joshua still remembers that he often came here to listen to sacred music when he was a child. The old priest here is quite familiar with him, and he doesn’t know if he is still there now. Do you recognize yourself or not.

He stepped over the stairs and came to the door. The door of the church was tightly closed. Once the thick wooden door made of fine stone and wood was closed tightly, no sound could come in. It must have been the fault of his dead cheap uncle. , since people are afraid to go out, why are churches open when no one comes to gather and pray? They can only close the door and refuse visitors, but given the courage of the Danlia and Wilson families, they would not dare to attack the church that bears the Holy Name.

Simply shouting was definitely useless. In desperation, Joshua had no choice but to use his fighting spirit and knocked heavily on the door.

The red light touched the gray-brown facade, and a milky white light suddenly rose up. This light flickered endlessly, like countless ripples on the surface of a lake where pebbles had fallen. It didn't take long before the church's stone and wooden door began to glow little by little. The door slowly opened, and what greeted Joshua and Yingying behind the door were a combination of four protective knights and two silver priests who were waiting in full formation.

"St. Laurent's Church is not currently welcoming worshipers."

The first knight said coldly.

“Nor does it welcome worshipers.”

Another knight said.

"Whatever your purpose, please... No, you are?"

Before he finished speaking the customary lines, the third knight who spoke was stunned for a moment, and then hesitantly said to his companions: "Wait a minute, everyone, this seems to be the heir to the lord of our territory."

The irritated state was about to be lifted, and severe pain had begun to spread in his arms. Joshua sighed and said helplessly, "Yes, it's me."
