Chapter 25 Bad Taste
Dave Sager was born in an unknown town near Pato City. His parents were ordinary traders, and his family background was very ordinary. He himself had never been found to have anything extraordinary. If ordinary people's talents or abilities follow a normal trajectory, Dave may not do much in his life, let alone have the opportunity to study at Padin Knight Academy as far away (actually not too far away) as possible. It is a well-known heavyweight (compared to its peers at the village and town level) universities.
All this did not come easily...
Thirteen years ago, a plague came to that small town with less than 300 households without any warning. In two days, almost everyone died in a ritualistic and strict order. The corpses were incorruptible and immortal, but had extremely weird smiles on their faces, as if they were experiencing the ultimate pleasure in pain.
Although the United Holy Church sent people there as quickly as possible, everything was in vain. It is said that there were dozens of living people in the town when the leading priest arrived, but when he stepped into the small town They exploded on the spot at the same time within the town area... and died suddenly.
Of the 296 people in the town, no one was alive except for a boy who had just turned seven at the time.
That child is Dave Sager...
After being discovered in a haystack, he followed the advance team back to the United Holy Church headquarters, which is located in the northeast of the mainland, downstream of the Jinhui River. The City of Light, and then after some travels, was finally sent to the United Holy Religion Branch in Pato City.
"Take good care of this child, even if he is not outstanding enough." This is what a certain regional bishop personally told the high priest of Pato City: "But as the only survivor, he carries two hundred The hope and sustenance of ninety-five deceased people.”
In this way, Dave grew up in the United Church and was baptized at the age of fourteen, naturally becoming a Christian. A believer who believes in Hemel, the god of justice and courage.
"The Holy Religion Union..." Mo Tan repeated in a low voice what he had learned from Mag's notes: "It is formed by the goddess of dawn, Pakosi, the god of justice and law, Hemer, and the goddess of harvest, Serui. It is an organization formed by believers and sects of many gods such as La, Sun God Tisu, God of Creation Ellen, etc. It is also one of the most influential existences in the northeast of the mainland. Haha, I don’t know those so-called ‘gods’ will How do you view this deformed and bloated alliance? "
However, although Mo Tan seemed to be saying some innocuous words, he had actually noticed something unusually inconsistent, at least for him. To him, it was so jarring that it was so jarring.
"A believer in the God of Justice and Courage?" He rolled his eyes: "If that young man who can casually kill his companions can believe in him, then I can be counted from any point of view. He is a good person with upright views."
It seems that Mo Tan also knows that his current views are not very upright...
But what he just said was not a joke. Yes, although the character Tan Mo has been labeled as a 'disbeliever' by the system and cannot believe in any god, the absolutely neutral Hei Fan has already become a believer of the goddess of dawn, Pakosi, and has been cheated by 20 people. Copper coins are coming.
Mo Tan still clearly remembers the two system prompts:
[Do you agree to become a believer of Pakosi, the goddess of dawn? 】
[Reminder: Betrayal of faith will bear a huge price]
No matter what the so-called price is, there is only one thing that can be confirmed, it is definitely not a good thing!
Although no one told him what the so-called 'betrayal of faith' was like to commit suicide, this did not prevent Mo Tan from making some speculations on his own.
First of all, it is direct. This is the best explanation. For example, someone suddenly becomes crazy and curses the god he believes in. Smashing the church, stepping on the idol, cutting the priest, and playing with the saint are definitely taboos among taboos. The price to bear should be huge, such as being directly struck by lightning.
Of course, if you are a spearman, you may be struck by lightning under any circumstances. Well, after all, the weapon is long, sharp and conductive. It is not because of some unreasonable superstition such as lucky value. Sort of...
Then indirectly, Mo Tan felt that there would also be a situation where two sects with a good relationship with each other might have some internal circulation, and then derive A result similar to a peaceful breakup will occur. The probability of this happening is very low, but it will definitely not be zero. Assuming that the relationship between the two gods (regardless of the believers) is really good, then it is very likely that they will not pay At what cost.
Of course, this assumption does not apply to Dave. The basis is Mo Tan’s third extremely confident guess.
Indirect and intuitive betrayal!
[Innocence Bound] This game divides the player's position to extremes. This extreme should also apply to the NPCs in it, including God's Mansion. In the data, Hemel, the God of Justice and Courage, looks like a A boss on the lawful neutral or lawful good side, and Dave’s actions are absolutely impossible to meet the standards of his followers, so here’s the problem...
Don’t worry, I don’t plan to talk about the excavator. Son.
Would any god only allow his followers to conflict with his own views?
Absolutely impossible!
No matter how tolerant and honest God Hemel is, what Dave did has definitely violated a lot of rules in his teachings!
"This is very interesting~" An evil smile appeared on the corner of Mo Tan's mouth, and he subconsciously tapped the low table in front of him, playing with the taste: "I originally thought that I would collect some more under the premise of protecting the witnesses. The physical evidence is all there, but things don’t seem to be that simple..."
As if he was inspired by some extraordinary motivation, in the next ten minutes, Mo Tan showed an extremely rare serious attitude Finished Dave quickly. All the information about Sagar, and then began to close his eyes and meditate.
After a while, he opened his eyes, suppressed his slightly vicious smile, put aside the information in front of him, took the black leather pouch at hand and looked at it for a while.
[Intermediate Poison Set]
Quality: Excellent
Weight: 1.3kg
Contains: Paralysis Poison*1, Wounding Poison*1, Slowing Poison*1, Silencing Poison*1, Purified Physarin*1, Colored Lizard Rot Poison*1
[Remarks: Hatchets are essential for home travel and murder, not this gadget. They will only be used for more technical things! ……What! How much! ? Come on, even if it is the chicken god in the village, I dare to poison it in the dark for you to see! 】
"Well..." Mo Tan shook his head, trying hard to forget some of the things he experienced in Ximu Town when playing an old game, and then clicked on the hyperlink of the poison set to take a look. , nodded with satisfaction.
Four types of state-reducing poisons, as well as two bottles of highly damaging poisons. It seems that the bald man with a weak head is not playing tricks on this.
We need to breathe a sigh of relief for Baldur here. If he really buys some inferior goods for Mo Tan with the mentality of "this kid may not be able to see it", then someone who can see the properties of the items will definitely take this as an excuse. An excuse to once again carry out some inhumane blackmail on him.
Humming a little tune and putting away the poison set, Mo Tan continued to count his trophies, which were the pages of handwritten papers that Bald had just finished writing.
It records some skills that apprentice-level thieves can master. In the martial arts world, they are low-end martial arts secrets. In the game, they are skill books that will not be consumed. There are two skills that Mo Tan prefers~
[Backhand Spin]
Active skills of the School of Cunning
Mastery requirements: Level 3 of the School of Cunning, Dexterity 10
Consumption/limitation: 60 acumen, dual-wielding melee weapons
Effect: Block once from A frontal physical attack will cause more damage to you. The damage is reduced by 50%, and a turning thrust of no less than 90° is performed at an extremely fast speed, gaining a theoretical double inertial impact bonus and causing an additional 20% damage. Cooling time: 1 minute
[Note: Round your arms and pass them over to me! The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out! The red knife goes in again and the red knife comes out again! 】
This skill is very cost-effective. It has the characteristics of both blocking and counterattack, and the cooldown time is very short. It is still very useful for cunning professions where frontal force is weak.
Then...
[Kidney Shot]
Cunning School Active Skills
Mastery Requirements: Cunning School Level 5, Dexterity 7
< br>
Consumption/restrictions: 10 acuity points, vicious eyes, a certain degree of dynamic vision, and a black hand
Effect: Use elbows or knees to strike the kidneys of the target (humanoid creatures only). Attack, 100% interrupting a spell cast. If your strength is higher than one-third of the target's physique, there is a high chance of triggering a 1-5 second comatose state, and a certain chance of causing irreversible damage to the NPC. Create a lot of hatred, cooling time: 10 minutes.
[Note: Hmm... kidneys... I love kidneys...]
This skill can be said to be the most suitable skill for Mo Tan (chaotic neutral) so far, even though that The seemingly not too high mastery requirements hide a 'venomous gaze' "Having a certain degree of dynamic vision" are two conditions that are easier said than done, and there is a cooling time of ten minutes, but he still likes this skill very much~
After all, Kidney Shot Not only is this skill low in cost and high in return, it is also extremely damaging!
There are also three skills: [Slit Throat], [Escape] and [Swift Stab]. The first Motan has automatically learned it when he obtained the thief profession. The other two skills will not be shown here for the time being until they are first revealed. I will describe it when I use it, after all, space is limited.
After finishing his work, Mo Tan stopped staying any longer. He returned the information to the gloomy-looking Baldur and left immediately. After all, online time was precious and he still had many things to do.
It is necessary to mention here that the reason why Dave’s personal information is available here is because his own deeds are special, whether he is the only one in a town of nearly 300 people. Whether he is a survivor or the only member of the Nuanyang Team who returned to Pato City alive, they all have certain intelligence value, so the Thieves Guild has this information that Mo Tan just read to provide.
As for other characters that have no intelligence value, you can’t find them here... After all, although [Innocence Boundary] is a game, there is no problem with its logic and rationality. If you I want to check which Lao Wang is next door. Unless he had a pick-up girl in the world back then...I mean a nickname like 'Phantom Killer', there must be no relevant information...
……
A moment later, Mo Tan appeared in front of the gate of the United Holy Church in the central area of Pato City. He looked left and right for a long time, smacked his lips, raised his legs and stepped inside.
"Please wait a moment!" Two low-level holy warriors in light armor stopped in front of him immediately. One of them stared at Mo Tan warily. At this moment, he was harmless to humans and animals, and even a little bit harmless. With his graceful face, he asked: "What are you going to do?"
Mo Tan blinked and walked forward again. Taking a step forward, he pointed at his nose and said in surprise: "Me?"
"That's right." The other party nodded, his hand already on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and asked in a low voice: "Are you Who?"
Mo Tan smiled bitterly and scratched his hair: "I'm just here to worship."
"Visiting?!" The holy warrior's eyes were as wide as copper bells: "Which god's residence are you a believer in?"
"You can't worship if you are not a believer?" Mo Tan said with a look on his face Flustered, he quickly took two steps back: "I'm sorry, right?" Well, no one else told me that there is this rule..."
"No..." Another man who looked a few years older shook his head with an embarrassed expression: "Yeah. It doesn’t mean that you can’t worship if you are not a believer.”
A hint of joking flashed in Mo Tan's eyes, but his face looked quite confused: "Oh? Why did those two look so scary just now, so that I thought I was going to be arrested? . ”
He is here. I asked knowingly, and the sudden vigilance was naturally due to the talent of 'unbeliever' possessed by Mo Tan. It was clear that in the eyes of these devout believers, this kind of guy who was completely insulated from his faith, Doesn't look like a good thing!
God knows if this guy is carrying a Forbidden Curse Scroll and is going to tear it up inside and start a terrorist attack or something!
But...
You can't turn people away on the grounds that 'you have a wrong temperament, I think you look like a troublemaker', right?
"Anyone can worship." The templar who spoke at the beginning suddenly lost his momentum and said hesitantly: "But..."
"But you don't want me to go in. ?" Mo Tan's face instantly darkened, and he said with a sneer: "It's not because of the rules, and there is no reason at all, just because of your personal mood or thoughts, you stopped me outside the gate, and... held me Got a weapon?”
The young man's hand immediately bounced off the sword as if he was electrocuted, and his face turned red and he couldn't say a word.
"This gentleman!" The other, more mature man quickly wanted to smooth things over: "We are not..."
"Not what?!" Mo Tan stared like a poisonous snake. She stopped him, with a chilling violence inside: "That's not it? It's not what I thought? The person who just stepped forward to stop me was also you, right?" < br>
This one also choked immediately...
Mo Tan paused for a moment, suddenly spread his arms and looked around at the statues of the gods, then turned his head and shouted at the two of them: "Which god do you believe in? Who gave you the qualifications to shut out potential believers? You are even ready to draw a sword against him!!"
Bang! !
The legs of the two Templars weakened and they fell to their knees at the same time...
