Chapter 40 The Ceremony Begins
When Mo Tan came online again the next day, a certain news had spread in Pato City as expected. It was not difficult to guess, after all, this city has no control There is no big news in the small town all year round. The common people's after-dinner conversations basically revolve around the recent business, climate and harvest, as well as the Knight Academy that everyone is proud of.
But the gossip that is hot enough is limited after all, and in recent years there have been very few stories about which couple secretly went to a hotel owned by someone else, which teacher kept the stove open for students until the early morning of the next day, and which pair of good brothers There is no news about exploring the woods late at night. After all, as the public’s eyes become more and more It is clear that the counter-espionage capabilities of the relevant people are also gradually increasing...
But just yesterday, Pato City finally ushered in a huge event that is unique in recent years. Dave, a second-year student of the Patin Knights, Sagar returned to the city with a ferocious and terrifying monster head!
In less than half a day, almost everyone in the city knew exactly what this pious young student had done.
He was one of the members of the Nuanyang Team who was wiped out some time ago. He was the only one who survived the claws of two monsters that appeared outside the city for no reason. Many people even witnessed Dave falling bloody at the city gate. The scene before.
He is a devout believer. He was adopted by the Holy Religion Union since he was a child. He believes in the God of Courage and Justice.
In the eyes of others, he is a diligent disciple, a kind senior, a kind classmate and a loyal young man.
After the incident, many people were worried about Dave's condition. Not to mention that he was so seriously injured, just imagining the scene of him shedding blood and tears and howling that he could not save his companions was enough. He couldn't help but make others feel heartbroken for him.
At the same time, I am even more worried about whether the two terrifying monsters outside the city will rush into Pato City one day and start killing...
But now, everything is solved.
No one knew what happened until he returned to the city. It is said that after Dave's injury improved slightly, he immediately ran to the bishop and begged, hoping to be allowed to avenge his companions and find out The reason why there is a redback beast nearby, and why he refuses to be accompanied by anyone else, and insists on doing it all by himself.
“Death or pain is far less cruel than mental torture. I should have died there with them. I hope you can forgive me for my willfulness. I have already written a suicide note. If I am destined to return to the embrace of God , I hope I can fall with glory.”
For some reason, these words he said before leaving have been spread, and have become a positive teaching material used by a large number of parents when educating their children, but most of them will. Add this sentence at the end: "Child, if this kind of thing happens to you in the future, we have to run away quickly!"
Poor love for parents in the world...
Back to the subject, it is said that the Bishop of Pato City immediately rejected Dave and asked him to recover from his injuries. After a while, the Holy Church Union and the Knight Academy jointly sent people out of the city to check with him.
As a result, Dave made a declaration in front of the statue of God in the chapel, and was recognized by the God of Courage and Justice.
In the end, just as Mo Tan had guessed, these magicians were too superstitious. When they saw Dave's body filled with divine light, they immediately changed their attitude and performed a ritual for him. The temporary canonization allows Dave to carry out revenge as a Holy Knight. On the one hand, it is to reward him for his brave and fearless action, and on the other hand, the Holy Knight will have supernatural power when carrying out actions such as 'revenge'. addition.
It would be good to have a better chance of survival...
And after thinking for a long time, the bishop also asked a few templars to dig a grave behind the chapel. It can be said that It is fully prepared.
As a result, in the evening, Dave actually came back alive, and he also brought the head of one of the redback beasts, and said that there were no other dangers outside the city except for the two monsters, which made the masses very relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief...
The United Holy Church almost immediately announced Dave's miraculous victory, and attributed 80% of the credit to the gods, and by the way filled in the backyard of the chapel. The hole was just dug not long ago.
Dave Sagel, became a hero.
To the common people, his righteous deeds are talked about; to the Knight Academy, he is the bravest student and role model in the past; to the Holy Religion Union, he is favored by God devout believers.
So...
"So the youngest Templar Knight in this place will be born." Mo Tan chuckled softly: "No matter how many worries he has, he will not miss such a great opportunity, even if he has to take some risks for it."
At this time, he was in a room on the second floor of Linju Tavern, surrounded by Cole, Xiao Ai and Mrs. Lei Duo. Just now, Cole had told Mo Tan the general situation. After reading it again, the content did not surprise him at all.
"Then let me confirm it now." Seeing that none of the three people meant to say anything, Mo Tan shook his index finger and continued: "Remember everything I told you yesterday. ?”
He was on the line at Lin Ju yesterday. Before changing numbers, he had already told Cole and others about his guesses and plans. The situation was indeed exactly the same as what he had guessed before. So there is nothing that requires temporary changes.
Cole nodded with a stern look and said solemnly: "I have no problem."
The little priest Ai on the side clenched his fists: "Me too..."
The flower elf Mrs. Leiduo hesitated a little, and finally shrugged: "I hope you are right."< br>
“I have the same expectations as you, madam.” Mo Tan’s slightly exaggerated words After bowing, he turned and walked towards the door: "Well, see you in the afternoon~"
At this time, there are less than seven hours until Dave Sagar's christening ceremony. If nothing else happens, Soon he will become a true Holy Knight, and his religious rank in Pato City is only below that of the bishop.
……
Pato City, Thieves Guild
There are still five hours before the ceremony starts.
Mo Tan, wearing a white robe, walked out of it with a smile in his eyes.
Half an hour later, two thieves dressed as travelers quietly left Pato City, sweating profusely, and galloped towards the north.
……
Pato City, Central City
There are still three hours until the ceremony starts.
A petite figure appeared in front of the Holy Church Chapel. She looked around first, and found that there was no acquaintance nearby. Then she took out a coat of arms of the sun god Tisu and pinned it on her chest. The two templars walked in with curious eyes and small steps, lowering their heads.
……
Pato City, Central City
There are still two hours until the ceremony starts.
A young man dressed as a civilian came to the square between the City Hall and the Holy Church Chapel. He narrowed his eyes slightly under the dazzling sun, found a stone chair and sat down at random. After a while he dozed off.
……
Pato City, Linju Tavern
There are still two hours before the ceremony starts
Lei Duo locked the store door tightly, walked to the innermost room on the second floor, raised her hand to unlock the magic lock on it, then pushed the door open and walked in. Five minutes later, when she left the room, she had changed out of her previous casual clothes and replaced them with a set of emerald green robes, with at least three sets of enchantment fluctuations surging on them, and her pair of robes had basically been in recent years. The delicate hands that deal with plates, wine bottles and cups are currently holding a huge staff carved with seven crystal petals.
Sitting on the green wooden stairs dotted with flowers and leaves, Lei Duo suddenly smiled playfully and whispered: "Maybe I will fight alongside you again soon, always. I feel my heartbeat...is a little fast..."
...
Pato City South District, Rye Hotel
There are still two hours left before the ceremony starts
The middle-aged boss with a chicken coop on his head lay on the rocking chair and sighed deeply, and then patted his face which was always a little red due to years of drinking. Cheek, stood up unsteadily, and waved his dirty hands back hard.
Boom!
A strong wind blew by, and the wooden door that was always open suddenly closed and was deeply embedded in the door frame, which was more effective than any lock.
Cole's uncle, Bayeswinger, who was also the former deputy leader of the Night Owl Mercenary Group, remained silent for a while and walked into his small bedroom next to the counter.
When he came out, he had put on a blood-bronze battle armor that looked a bit old but still gave people a sharp feeling. At the same time, there were two giant two-handed hammers crossed on his back.
"God knows why that kid wanted to be a thief." Bayes poured himself a glass of low-quality ale awkwardly, drank it in one gulp and was silent for a long time. Finally, he clenched his fist slightly: "Obviously a warrior is a man. It’s romantic, hehe... Even if you become a warrior, it may not be enough to be a man..."
...
Pato City, Central City, Holy Church
< br>There is still one hour before the ceremony starts
At this time, almost all the idle clergy gathered here, everyone was praying in low voices, and right in front of these people was a snow-white rectangular container filled with clean water.
With the prayers of a large number of devout people, this clear water gradually emits mist of various colors.
It is not difficult to make the water of the gods. All you need to do is let believers from different sects in the Holy Union pray at the same time by making holy water. After all, this is only a symbolic existence. It's true that it contains some magical power, but it doesn't have any heaven-defying effects like prolonging life, unblocking muscles and activating blood circulation. At best, it's just... relatively healthy?
Of course, it is quite lethal to (lawful/good side) blasphemers, necromancers, cultists and believers of opposing gods.
After a while, Bishop Mauve announced the end of the prayer, then filled a crystal bottle of holy water with his own hands, and left the chapel with a large number of believers and Dave, who had been staying in the prayer room since last night.
Some believers filled a small amount of the remaining water of the gods in containers prepared in advance before leaving. After all, this thing is quite rare, and it is basically used to water flowers and the like. It would be a waste to have so much left. .
But one of the little girls actually made a big pot full of it, which was a bit scary.
"Um, this sister." The 'little' half-orc priest with mammoth blood looked down at the Sun God believer with a somewhat unfamiliar face, and kindly whispered: "It's useless to take too much of this. ..."
The girl smiled at her: "Opportunity It’s so rare. I want to share it with my relatives and friends so that everyone can feel the glory of God.” There should be two buckets for making tea!”
After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.
……
Pato City, Central Square
There are still thirty minutes before the ceremony starts
Dave and Bishop Moff are rushing to the early morning The people who came were chatting with each other, but the former didn't talk much. He just smiled shyly most of the time. His left arm was covered with bandages, and traces of dark red blood could even be faintly seen in it. That was naturally from the front of his face. The injuries left behind by striking two brutal monsters were a warrior's medal.
At this moment, the city lord Nagy and the housekeeper Lang also walked from the city hall under the escort of the guards, with enthusiastic smiles on their faces.
The city lord is naturally happy. After all, the news about a big monster outside the city made him unable to sleep well for several nights. Now not only has the monster been solved, but it has also appeared during his tenure. How could he be unhappy after meeting such a heroic figure as classmate Dave?
Mr. Lang is also very happy. According to this situation, he is sure to get rid of this fat guy next to him within a year, and then cooperate with Dave Li, who is a Templar, and he will be able to do it in a short time. Let the Holy Union in Pato City become the home of the Whispering Sect!
As long as the disgusting bottle of Water of the Gods is replaced, you can basically say that you are done...
Otherwise, if Dave spontaneously combusts in public, it will be a lot of fun. Big.
"Lord City Lord." Lang whispered in Najib's ear: "I think you should chat more with our hero now. After all, he is the future Holy Knight..."
Lang is absolutely right!
After Naji heard this, he immediately walked quickly towards the welcoming bishop and Dave, opened his hands with a somewhat narrow arm span, and grinned almost to the base of his ears.
And Lang quietly came to the temporary altar on the other side and whispered something to the Templar in charge of guarding in front of him...
… …
There are still ten minutes before the ceremony starts
A young man who was taking a nap outside the square suddenly found a large water bag at his feet. He immediately put it in his arms and quickly He blended in with the surrounding crowds who came here specifically to witness the ceremony, or to watch the fun.
……
Central City, in a dark room
There are still five minutes before the ceremony starts
Mo Tan looked at a piece of black paper in his hand that was full of weird symbols, and laughed heartily. His eyes were full of pure joy and excitement. At his feet, a man dressed as a guard was lying in a pool of blood. , the eyes that were glued to the floor were blurry, but there was still a hint of confusion and pain inside.
A bell suddenly rang not far away...
Mo Tan leaned over and pulled out the dagger from the back of the corpse, smiling and licking the corners of his mouth.
“The show is about to begin~”
……
Pato City, Central Square
At two o’clock in the afternoon, the christening ceremony of ‘hero’ Dave Sager officially began!
