Chapter 282 Holy Church
A different world.
Karl's figure appeared in a stream, and the gurgling water quickly wet his clothes.
"The river changed its course?"
He remembered clearly that he was in an open area when he left, and there was no stream nearby.
And now.
The surrounding mountains are bulging and water flows crisscross them.
Obviously there are strong men fighting nearby, causing the terrain to change drastically. Judging from the situation, it must be a third-level battle.
“Level 3!”
Karl raised his head and looked at the waning moon that was gradually collapsing:
"This world has begun to accommodate third-level power. It seems that ordinary people have no choice."
As he said this, he touched himself and took out a piece of paper for communication. It is already filled with words.
After glancing at it, Karl sighed:
"Sure enough!"
The gods in another world reached a consensus, and the dependents of the gods no longer fought among themselves, but Join forces to eliminate the followers of other gods. Even if they were beaten to a bloody head before, they must temporarily shelve the alliance.
His former friends told Karl that the previous covenant was invalid, and reminded him that he had better find a way to leave this world.
Otherwise...
Sooner or later there will be a day when weapons will meet.
“No one has ever asked what ordinary people in this world think, whether they are gods from this world or evil gods from outside.”
“That’s right!”
"For them, ordinary people are just harvesting the food of faith, so how can they have any say?"
Shaking his head, a flame appeared in Karl's palm, and he burned the paper in his hand to ashes to prevent being attacked. People tracking.
After confirming the direction, he stepped towards the west.
…………
Xizhen.
From the outside it looks like an ordinary town.
Carrying a large broadsword on his back, Karl walked along the streets of the town until he came to a dilapidated temple.
He put one hand on his chest and bowed his head to the old man cleaning in front of the door:
"Believer Connie, please join the church."
According to him The soul memory obtained after killing people, this is a secret base where paladins gather.
Karl planned to sneak into the temple to see if he could find something left by the Moon Goddess and obtain the source of essence.
Furthermore,
This is a gathering point for the natives of another world, so it is relatively safe.
If possible, he plans to hang out in the church for the next ten years and recuperate his body.
"..." The old man stopped and looked at it briefly:
"Follow me."
The two entered the temple one after another. The old man moved the candlestick, and a passage leading to the underground was immediately revealed.
Picking up the oil lamp, the old man looked back and said:
“It’s really rare that there are still people who are willing to believe in the Moon Goddess.”
“Uh…” Karl’s expression was slightly Dayton:
"I have always believed that the Moon Goddess has not completely fallen, but I just don't know how to join the temple."
"I got the news not long ago, so I hurried here."
"Yes." The old man was noncommittal:
"You came just in time. The church is short of people now. You should follow the second elder first."
"Second elder?"
"Buck, Holy Knight Buck."
"I mean, don't you need to go through any tests?"
"..." The old man paused, then chuckled in a low voice:< br>
“The church is different now than before. What is needed is not loyalty, but how to survive.”
“The evil god from another land has come to this world, desecration is inevitable, and the church is also Changes need to be made.”
Carl mused.
In the memories he searched, the church was very secretive and cautious in order to avoid the encirclement and suppression of several archdukes.
Unless it is a baby raised in the temple, joining midway must pass many tests to prove one's devotion to the Moon Goddess.
Once you leave the temple, you will almost never be able to return for life.
Even people who have lived in the church for decades do not know the specific location of the church.
And now...
It seems that everything is simple.
“Buzz…”
Pushing open a heavy stone door, a place similar to a dormitory appeared in front of Karl.
He glanced at Shimen, his expression unchanged.
The stone door was heavy and it was not easy to push it open, which meant that the old man in front of him was a legendary knight.
Is the legendary knight so worthless? "The cafeteria and martial arts room are over here, and the washing and bathroom are at the end. You live in this room."
The old man opened a door, and inside was a four-person room. There are already two people living there.
The strange thing is.
It turned out to be a man and a woman.
The man has a gloomy face and cold eyes; the woman has a loli face and an exaggerated mature figure.
Karl turned back speechlessly.
“The room is tight, I have no choice.” The old man shook his head:
“And you are all children of God. Brothers and sisters live together, what problems can there be?”
< br>
"Hello." Loliface stood up at this time and took the initiative to speak:
"Rachel, his name is Hume, what do you call him?"
"Connie." Carl bowed Body:
"Connie Bergman."
"Connie." Rachel nodded:
"It's time to eat. Come with me. I'll help you get familiar with the environment here."
Hume didn't say anything. He just stood up and took off the knight's sword beside him, and slung it around his waist. between.
The canteen is very big.
It’s also very lively.
There are hundreds of people dining here, and all kinds of sounds come and go, which is completely different from the scene in my memory.
in memory.
The base of the church is serious and solemn. Apart from chanting scriptures and prayers, no other sounds will be heard.
And now.
It is messy and disorderly, more like a gathering place for bandits.
“There are many benefits to joining the church.” Rachel explained, holding a large bowl filled with meat:
"The meat canal is full, and it is also the meat of exotic animals, which helps us temper our bodies."
"You can go to the martial arts room to ask Old Yellen to choose a martial arts later. What kind of cultivation are you doing?"
Hume stopped and looked up.
"Great Knight." Karl thought for a while and said:
"I hope to find a way to become a legendary knight here."
"Grand Knight?" Rachel's beautiful eyes lit up:
"With your grade, you can become a Grand Knight, and you have a great chance of being promoted to Legend. As long as you do your job well, the Holy Temple will not hesitate to give you rare items containing the origin. It’s different now than before. Origin rare objects are not too rare.”
Hume nodded aside.
“What?”
Karl smiled:
"You joined the temple to increase your strength?"
"Yes." Hume spoke for the first time, with a slightly hoarse voice:
"I want to become a legend. If possible, try to be Holy Knight, only the Holy Temple can help me."
"Me too." Rachel smiled:
"The legendary knight can live two hundred years and still keep his appearance. , it is impossible to believe in gods.”
"That's because your faith is not sincere." Hume said in a low voice:
"If you have a pious faith, you can enter the divine realm after death, and you can remain young forever in the divine realm."
" Ha..." Rachel pouted:
"Do you believe this?"
Karl thought thoughtfully.
It seems that after experiencing the war between the gods, the knights in this world have lost trust in the gods.
Joining the Holy Church is just to make yourself stronger, not for faith.
The church has also changed. In the past, it would only recruit devout believers. Rachel and Hume could not join at all.
Now...
It should be to deal with the invasion of foreign gods.
Martial arts room.
“Bang!”
A dwarf threw out a thick book and roared loudly:
“You can choose any of the exercises and martial arts here, you can only choose If you want to choose the second door, you must complete the mission issued by the temple. "
"Also, you are a great knight. If you want to get the original rare item, you also need to complete the mission and accumulate enough merit to redeem it. .”
Karl flipped through the book and looked at the other person:
"I want to know what tasks are there?"
"Hehe..." the dwarf grinned:
"Just wait. Not enough?”
“Here!”
He whipped out a thicker book again.
"The tasks are all inside, see for yourself."
