Chapter 26 The Missing Puzzle
Of course they are not kneeling to Mo Tan. As a Templar Knight who is qualified to guard the chapel, even if the Lord of Pato City comes here in person, he has to deal with the two guests. To be polite, they are kneeling to the gods they believe in...
As a tendency For the union of lawful and kind holy religions, none of these united sects will have the rules that Mo Tan just mentioned. Ordinary people can also visit and pray in chapels, let alone talk about it, even if Even though he is an 'evil god' in the eyes of most people, he will not reject any potential believer.
So although their behavior just now seems to be an overreaction, if you ask yourself seriously, it can be said to have violated the doctrine.
Of course, as to which doctrine of their respective gods they violated, one or both, Mo Tan didn't care and had no interest at all. He just proved it through such a small incident. Just something.
That is how much influence the talents of unbelievers can have on others.
After all, the introduction to this talent is too general...
[Unbeliever: You cannot choose faith, because you will not have any awe for any high-ranking existence, no Any preacher will waste their time on you! No! 】
Since this talent was forcibly placed on Mo Tan's body by the system, it has not shown any actual effect so far. From the introduction, he probably guessed that he would definitely not be approached by those religious people. Come to teach...but the specific situation is not known yet.
This talent may not have much impact on him now, but it is enough to become a hidden danger, and it may cause a series of unexpected changes in some circumstances.
At this time, although Mo Tan likes and is happy to see changes, he hates any unexpected situations.
Rational people are not scary, because their thinking patterns are easy to infer...
Smart people are not scary, because as long as you think carefully, you will find the thoughts behind every step they take. ...
Crazy people are not scary, they are already crazy anyway~
However, a person who is both rational and smart, and at the same time has an unpredictable thinking pattern is a bit scary.
[Pious believers will be slightly disgusted and wary of me, but they will not take the initiative to become strongly hostile to me before I take any drastic action, but they probably will not believe any of my words. 】
Mo Tan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking down at the two guards who were praying in a low voice, asking for forgiveness from the gods, while thinking...
[Experience, wisdom, and rationality are all important. It is possible to correct their behavior. The older guy just now obviously thought more than the other idiot, but he did not completely block the impact of talent. 】
"Sorry, I went a little too far." Mo Tan walked up to the two of them, half-knelt in front of them, and said with a slight apology in his tone: "Because there are some annoying things happening at home, So I wanted to come to the chapel in our city to pray, but I didn’t The reason for embarrassing the two of you may be because my mother is seriously ill and has been a little uneasy. I am too emotional..."
[If they take the initiative to show kindness when they are relatively fragile and show enough Kind words...】
"No, I was the one who offended before." The young templar lowered his head and said with shame, "I didn't expect that you..."
"Xiao Luo!" The older warrior said in a deep voice. Duan said: "Don't make any mistake, what we violated is the scripture... You should first feel ashamed that you have violated God's will and precepts!"
[It works, but it is very effective for people with firm beliefs. Wei, this may be related to my charm and eloquence attributes, but it cannot be verified yet. What is certain is that whether it is a positive or negative influence, the more powerful the believer, the less effective it is, but the subconscious suspicion is more Trouble...hehe...interesting, let's stop here first this time...]
"Then please, can I go in?" Mo Tan stood up and asked politely: "I think Pray for your family.”
The older one had finished praying and seemed to have received some feedback. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Please, but please abide by the rules here.”
"Well..." Mo Tan suddenly showed a slightly embarrassed bumpkin expression, awkwardly arranged his clothes and hairstyle, as if a thin-skinned bumpkin entered the city for the first time, turned his face and whispered: "Rules and so on... ...I may not be particularly..."
This 'poor' way of relieving embarrassment is too easy to see through. The samurai sighed helplessly and said to the young man aside: "Xiao Luo, take the lead. Let him go inside and pray. Here I am Watch first."
"Okay, senior." The Templar warrior known as Xiao Luo responded quickly, and then nodded to Mo Tan: "Please follow me."
< br>In fact, there are not many taboos in the chapel of the United Holy Church. After all, this is not an independent sect that only worships one god, but a relatively loose alliance, unless someone commits obscenity in public. It's a move of God, otherwise there wouldn't be many rules to break.
But the Templar didn't know why, but he always felt that the fair-looking guy in front of him was a bit uneasy, a blasphemy or something... What if he could really do it? Woolen cloth? !
So let’s keep people watching.
And this is exactly what Mo Tan wants to see~
"This Lord Knight, I was really embarrassed just now." As soon as he entered the chapel, Mo Tan smiled at Xiao Luo beside him. Laughing: "No offense, don't take it seriously."
"Where is it!" Xiao Luo immediately waved his hand: "It was clearly my fault just now, and I am far from qualified to be recognized in the Holy Religion. Crowned with the title of knight..."
As they spoke, the two of them had arrived at the center of the chapel. Although this place looked relatively simple, its scale and area were larger than the city lord's palace not far away. Several times more, the surrounding walls are covered with exquisite reliefs, interspersed with a large number of prayers and the teachings of many gods, and there is a miraculous picture every ten steps, which generally talks about the holy religion. The gods enshrined in the alliance performed various deeds such as rescuing famines, rescuing sufferings, rescuing droughts, rescuing floods, and rescuing mudslides...
"Is it so difficult to be a knight?" Mo Tan resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the relief statues around him, and said in surprise to Xiao Luo: "There are a few knights in our town, but they don't look as capable as you. Temperament. "
No one doesn't like to hear compliments. If someone doesn't like to hear them, it's because the other person's words are thorny or the flattery is too clumsy. Everyone knows this.
Mo Tan’s simple compliment undoubtedly made the young man a little happy. After all, with his qualifications, he usually didn’t have many opportunities to be praised by others. Shaking his head, the corners of his mouth still curled up unconsciously: "It is important to obtain the title of knight in our Holy Church Union. It is very difficult. It is my dream to be awarded the name of 'Paladin', but it will definitely be impossible in recent years..."
As they spoke, the two of them had arrived at the center of the chapel, in front of them. A huge statue of the gods, the halo seeping out of the skylight casts a layer of holy light on it, making it look solemn and sacred.
It is said that every statue of the gods in the Holy Religion Union has been personally blessed by figures above the level of the chief priest of each sect. They all have multiple divinities. I don’t know whether it is true or not.
"Most people usually pray here." Xiao Luo first leaned over and performed the etiquette of an unknown sect, and then smiled at Mo Tan: "As for the methods, there are many kinds. The gods are kind and do not You are asking for too much, not to mention you are not a believer..."
Mo Tan nodded to him gratefully: "Thank you"
"You're welcome. Then I will... uh..." Xiao Luo hesitated for a moment, as if hesitating about something, and finally said: "I will wait for you further away, and I will go out with you later." In fact, he originally wanted to say. He walked first, but when he looked at the half-elf in front of him who seemed to be quite generous and easy to talk to, he felt a little uneasy for some reason, and there was always a sense of resistance lingering in his heart.
Here we have to excuse the talent of 'Unbeliever'. This is not caused by talent problems. The point is that when Mo Tan logs in as Tan Mo, he will always have They all have an indescribable temperament. If I had to describe it, it would be...
Chaos, utter chaos.
This natural gap with the lawful camp coupled with Mo Tan's untrustworthy temperament in the eyes of the NPC, how could people completely trust him.
In short, Templar Xiao Luo left the center of the chapel and walked a little further away, chatting with people casually.
Although it is the morning and there are not many people coming to worship and pray, many clergymen from the Holy Religious Union have already come to the chapel to perform daily prayers, guarding, cleaning and other tasks.
Mo Tan pretended to close his eyes, pretending to pray for the 'family' he made up when God knows when, but in fact he was rapidly calculating the known information collected so far in his mind... …
Dave. Sagar is a baptized active believer, and the god of his faith is the guardian of knights, warriors and judges: Hemel, the god of justice and courage.
But Dave betrayed and designed to kill his friends in the same grade at the Knight Academy for some kind of plan. This is definitely not allowed by the God he believes in.
Dave has not been punished by God...
It is recorded at the end of the information that he has been working hard towards the goal of being a Paladin. Although he has not yet reached the requirements, he has been in the near future. The martial arts talent he has displayed in the past few years is far higher than that of students of the same age.
But he should be a young man with no extraordinary talent.
The conditions for becoming a Paladin are not yet known, but it should not be a secret and can be found out in a short time.
But even if you know it...
"I still feel like there are still two pieces of the puzzle missing..." Mo Tan muttered softly and rubbed his forehead: "If you want to let Dai It would be easy if the husband died, but since such a huge sense of violation has been discovered, it would be too boring to just sit back and ignore it. This unique mission is really deep enough. ”
Destroy 'Hero' Dave, the reward for this task is three question marks. Mo Tan feels that this is not a trick of the system, but that the reward will be determined based on his completion level, although he does not care about this task. In itself, but with Mo Tan's current character, he will naturally work hard with the greatest degree of fun, and usually, fun and difficulty are often corresponding.
Forget it, it’s better to be more difficult. After all, the more challenging it is, the more interesting it is~
"When I look at that guy, he doesn't look like a good guy!"
Just when Mo Tan was about to end this pretentious prayer, a muttering that was deliberately lowered reached his ears.
This is not because Mo Tan is gifted or has undergone any special training, nor is it due to the relatively excellent hearing of the half-elf. In fact, the 'murmur' of the mammoth half-orc priestess is really... A bit bigger.
Almost the entire chapel's attention was attracted to him.
“Carved Tooth!” Xiao Luo, who was standing next to the mammoth girl, almost cried. With his face flushed, he raised his head and shouted in a low voice: “Keep your voice down! Please keep your voice down. ! ”
"My voice is low enough!" The older girl didn't realize it at all, and even poked her nose at the center of the chapel where Mo Tan was: "Do you think he looks like the kind of cultist who is full of crooked ways?"
Cultist? ! Crooked approach? !
Something seemed to flash through Mo Tan's mind...
Two minutes later, in front of the chapel door
"I'm really sorry..." Xiao Luo blushed Facing Mo Tan, he whispered: "That little priest is a new trainee, and he doesn't speak clearly."
Mo Tan blinked: "That 'little' priest is almost taller than the two of us stacked together."
Xiao Luo shrugged at him.
"Don't worry, I don't mind." Mo Tan smiled slightly: "By the way, I don't even know what a cultist is..."
Xiao Luo suddenly looked solemn: "Those They are all terrible heretics, they are heartbroken Crazy and evil, they admire all kinds of despicable evil things and call them "gods". Some cultists don't even have any objects of faith at all, but simply act and kill people for their own crazy evil thoughts. , blood sacrifice to him It's commonplace for us. Driven by evil thoughts, those heretics can do anything. Even the most evil gods are tens of millions of times better than the illusions they worship... Well, I don't want to go on talking about it. They are even to God A kind of disrespect."
"Oh?" Mo Tan stopped a second before leaving the chapel, turned to Xiao Luo and asked curiously: "What do they have? What about the benefits? For example..."
Skill activation - [Bewitch]
"Can it control monsters? Or greatly increase talents and abilities in all aspects?"
In Xiao Luo's ears, Mo Tan's voice suddenly became Make yourself very cordial, like an old friend who has known you for many years and talks about everything, before your head can react , and replied subconsciously: "Well, the abilities of various cultists are all kinds of strange. They can force themselves to gain various powers by paying various prices or performing cruel rituals, but those are all evil ways... Huh? "
Xiao Luo, whose eyes suddenly became clear, was suddenly in a daze.
At this time, Mo Tan had already walked out of the chapel without looking back, and said without looking back: "Thanks, man~"
Then he blended into the dense crowd outside the chapel...
