Cordy was speechless.
He lowered his head and gave up resistance completely.
"very good."
Herbert looked tenderly at the young man who was kneeling on the ground, his knees bent by the shadow tentacles, and asked softly, "Brother, do you have any last words before the end?"
"I--."
Cordy looked into Herbert's eyes and said with a wry smile: "Can't we reconcile? You don't look really hurt now."
Herbert did not answer, but just looked at him calmly and shook his head.
Reconciliation? Now
"Besides that, is there anything else you want to say?"
"".—."
At the last moment, Cordie suddenly felt relieved. He laughed out loud as if all his burdens had been lifted off his shoulders.
He raised his head, looked at Herbert with the brightest smile, and said with great regret: "Herbert, it would be better if you were not born."
"If only you were a child without talent, I would be the best brother in the entire Frost Crystal Kingdom."
"But you're not, but you're not! Hahaha!"
After laughing, his expression became somewhat perverse and angry. He glared at Herbert and roared:
"You are a sinner who brings disaster to the kingdom!"
"I curse you!"
"You will definitely fall!"
Herbert listened to his roar and a smile appeared on his face.
"Yes."
The boy nodded at his brother who was cursing him and slowly raised the blade in his hand.
"That's right."
There is no need for a false farewell at the final separation.
Speak your long suppressed words.
The two once close brothers looked at each other and welcomed the final end.
After the roar, Cordie's expression was no longer ferocious, he just stared into Herbert's eyes quietly.
He smiled with relief.
“You’ve grown up.”
Herbert lowered his eyes, then swung the sword in his hand with force.
"Goodbye, my brother."
clang-
The sword blade falls.
Heads rolling down.
Boom.
"You are indeed the best brother in the entire Frost Crystal Kingdom."
".-once."
"Sir Herbert, did you do all those things?"
In the slums, Herbert saw Sister Kaplan after a long time.
She looked much more haggard than she did more than a month ago, but she was in much better spirits than before.
Sister Kaplan has been helping these poor people all this time, constantly overdrawing her own energy to heal their injuries, and only began to recover after being completely exhausted.
This kind of high-pressure training that overdraws the body unexpectedly improved her strength slightly.
Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise.
"What do you mean?"
Herbert smiled and shook his head, "If you mean the nobles killing each other, then I can only say that it was the idea of the Frost Crystal Royal Family."
Although their thoughts are also controlled by me.
"Please don't try to trick me!"
Sister Kaplan looked at him seriously and said in a deep voice: "You will plunge the kingdom into chaos and cause a large number of casualties!"
If the kingdom really fell into chaos because of the riots of the nobles, the casualties would not be just a small number like those in the slums.
But it really is tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands!
That was the real disaster!
The reason why she could hold back from taking action now was because she trusted Herbert.
"I will report everything to the monastery truthfully!"
Herbert nodded after hearing this not-so-lethal threat.
"Um."
Sister Kaplan frowned when she saw his nonchalant look. She guessed that he might have some more plans and asked, "How are you going to solve this problem next?"
But Herbert did not answer directly, but asked:
"Do you know that in the Frost Crystal Kingdom, besides the king and the nobles, there is actually another force?"
The nun frowned and said in a deep voice: "Please answer my question directly, don't ask again---Hmm?"
But before she could finish, she reacted and looked at the team that was distributing food not far away.
"You mean—"
"right."
Herbert looked at the priests who were wearing cool clothes in the cold wind and nodded, "It's the Church of God."
That's the priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess!
"Since the power of the nobles is too great, we should weaken them and then find a force that can check and balance them."
"Will the Frost Crystal Royal Family agree?"
Since ancient times, there has always been a huge conflict between royal power and divine power.
The Frost Crystal Kingdom was not a country created with the help of gods. The Church of Gods has always wanted to extend its hand here, but has never found an opportunity.
And now Herbert actually wants to take the initiative to introduce this force... Will the royal family agree
"Is it up to them to disagree with this?"
Herbert smiled faintly, strode towards the priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess, and left a word.
"At this point, they have no choice."
Chapter 143: Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess (1/5)
In the biting cold wind, two young and beautiful girls wearing extremely thin blue and white robes walked in the slums under the protection of the temple guards.
The two young trainee priests walked barefoot in the snow, like the legendary ice and snow elves walking into the mortal world, attracting everyone's attention.
Such an outfit that is in stark contrast to the winter weather makes people feel cold just by looking at it, but there is no sign of discomfort on their faces.
Both of them had peaceful smiles on their faces. They looked calmly at every poor person who prayed to them and distributed the prepared food to them.
Although the Ice and Snow Goddess is not evil, she is not a kind deity either.
As a subordinate deity belonging to the [Nature] camp and subordinate to the [God of Winter], the Ice and Snow Goddess's camp is more inclined to be a neutral faction between the two.
He spreads severe cold in winter to rob life, but also gives nature time to recuperate.
The reason why church members treat these poor people so kindly is actually not that complicated.
In the eyes of the Church of the Gods, these are all future believers.
It is an absorbable resource!
Today is an era of faith in gods. The gods are trying their best to develop the church, absorb believers, and gain more power of faith in order to improve their own strength.
Human believers are one of the most sought-after resources in this world.
Compared to many races, they are very fertile while maintaining a high level of intelligence.
Although most of their beliefs are not pure and are mixed with too many personal desires, they are large in quantity and of acceptable quality.
Different identities lead to different perspectives.
For royal rulers, they need the support of nobles more than the majority of ordinary people to maintain their rule.
But to the gods, the origins of mortals don’t really make much difference.
Although a nobleman can donate some of his property to the church, the faith they provide may not necessarily be more than that of a homeless person.
In addition, the number of nobles is very small, and the vast majority of people in this world are ordinary people.
The main believers of the Ice and Snow Goddess are not humans. The source of their faith is mainly from the intelligent creatures living in the ice and snow areas.
But no one will complain about making too much money. If someone does, he is just pretending and must be severely condemned!
He was very envious of the Frost Crystal Kingdom's faith cake.
As a country founded by the descendants of dragon slayers, the Frost Crystal Kingdom is a country where royal power is greater than divine power. Although residents are not prohibited from believing in gods, there is still no openly recognized church of gods.
This is an undeveloped grassland.
Although the Frost Crystal Kingdom does not have a large population, it is just a small country with a small territory. The powerful gods look down on it and are unwilling to fight for it.
But if she could enjoy this faith alone, the Ice and Snow Goddess's strength would be significantly enhanced.
The Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess has always wanted to extend its influence into the Frost Crystal Kingdom, but due to the lack of opportunities, the progress has not been very good.
Although it has not been identified as an unrecognized evil god church, there are really not many believers in the entire country.
They have been preaching for decades, and the faith has only spread in some small towns around the royal city.
In the royal city, the faith has not spread beyond the slums.
The Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess is actually quite satisfied with this progress.
Because most of the original members of the Goddess Church were non-human intelligent creatures, their acceptance among humans was not high, and the progress in the first twenty years was very touching.
It was not until the last twenty years that they changed their mindset and adopted some abandoned human babies. After raising them up, they successfully developed some human believers with the help of these new priests.
After tasting the sweetness, the Goddess Church continued to adopt more abandoned babies, and when they grew up,
Then you can continue to spread the gospel of the Goddess to more relatives and friends.
It would probably take another hundred years for the entire Frost Crystal Kingdom to become a hotbed of faith in the Goddess!
However, they themselves thought that this progress was not bad, but in Herbert's opinion, this speed and efficiency were simply——
"What a waste!"
Herbert looked at the two young female pastors and couldn't help shaking his head slightly, with many thoughts flashing through his mind.
What salary thief——
These guys' ideas are still too rigid. They are complete rubbish. They only know the traditional method of distributing food and don't know how to use their own advantages.
If you want to spread your faith, you don’t need too many methods!
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the current situation.
For such beautiful girls, you only know to let them wear thin clothes and walk barefoot in the snow
Want to show a miracle by this
It is true that not being afraid of the cold is a miracle, but isn’t it a bit too perfunctory
