Blasphemy Chapter 10: The decline of society

More than a thousand cavalry rode toward the imperial capital in the first ray of dawn. Several carriages were driving in the center of the cavalry. Rogge was sitting in one of the carriages, holding a magic note recording the miracles of the Ice and Snow Goddess, and studying it carefully. Froya was curled up like a kitten on the velvet seat opposite him, sleeping deeply.

Her bright face swept away the charming charm when she was awake, revealing a trace of childlike innocence and tranquility. The long eyelashes flutter occasionally, like a butterfly lifting its wings lightly. The light pink and slightly transparent underwear exposed a side from the round collar of the outer robe. As she breathed slightly, her round chest rose and fell slowly.

Roger closed the note, rubbed his sore eyes, and looked at the snoozing kitten.

Unconsciously, a ray of sunlight quietly penetrated the thick clouds, shining on the moving carriage, and also spilled into the carriage through the window with the curtain not closed tightly. Froya, who was hit by the light on her face, was obviously dissatisfied. She closed her eyes and mumbled a few words in a daze, pulled the brocade blanket over her head, covered her head tightly, and then continued calmly. Big sleep. Unexpectedly, after changing his posture, he stretched his slender and smooth left leg out of his robe. The toes are exquisite and the toenails are painted a fiery red color, making her posture extremely sultry.

Seeing her looking at one thing and the other at the expense of the other, Rogge couldn't help but laugh, and began to feel pity in his heart. He knew Froya's life experience very well. She had a distinguished life experience, strong magic power, unparalleled beauty, and extraordinary intelligence. It seemed that all the blessings of fate for women had been bestowed upon her. But she can actually be said to be extremely unfortunate. In a sense, this affectionate little fairy has no real relatives. The only great mage Hierro who was kind to her has also died.

Roger sighed, leaned over and covered her with the blanket more tightly.

At this time, the northern country has entered deep winter. The mountains and rivers thousands of miles outside the car window changed color, becoming a world of ice and snow.

Hundreds of years ago, this season would have been the time when the goddess of ice and snow was most fond and active. According to the magic notebook, the miracles of the Ice and Snow Goddess first appeared, and her power could be perceived and believed by mortals, only a thousand years ago, instead of the Ice and Snow Goddess when the world was founded as claimed by the Silver Holy Religion. exist. The magic notes have been researched on a large amount of information and legends, and are accompanied by dozens of research experiences on magic props with the power of the goddess of ice and snow. It can be seen that the person who wrote down the notes is a great magician and has profound knowledge in theology. Achievements. It's a pity that this great magician was on the same boat as Etter's adventure team when he went to the northern part of the Longines Sea to inspect the ancient glaciers. It happened that this adventurous team decided to temporarily change their jobs to pirates. As a result, this talented magician was plotted and died without even casting a single spell.

The scope of the great magician's investigation was not limited to the classics of the Silver Holy Cult, but also included the landforms, weather and any legends and magic items related to the Ice and Snow Goddess in the vast Northland. The purpose of his investigation was to find out why the Ice and Snow Goddess no longer performed miracles.

About three hundred years ago, the miracles of the Ice and Snow Goddess reached their peak. She would even perform miracles in response to the requests of believers! At that time, magicians emerged in an endless stream in the Silver Holy Religion, and the magic power of ice and snow mages increased by leaps and bounds. New powerful magics have been developed, and powerful magic items and even artifacts with the power of the Ice and Snow Goddess have begun to appear one after another.

Compared with other gods recorded at that time, although the goddess of ice and snow cannot be said to be the most powerful **** because of her pure power attribute, she was indeed the most active **** at that time. The result was the rapid expansion of the Silver Holy Religion, and eventually an unprecedented religious war broke out with the Church of Light, which had been rising for a century and had established a firm foothold in the Northern Kingdom. It also defeated the Church of Light, which claimed to believe in the Supreme God and many of the gods under the Supreme God.

However, for some unknown reason, since the Church of Light was expelled, the activities of the Ice and Snow Goddess have gradually weakened. Priests who can sense and use her divine power have become increasingly rare. In recent decades, the Ice and Snow Goddess has not been seen performing miracles at all.

The final record of the notes is a shocking conjecture. After many researches, the great magician believed that the miracles of the Ice and Snow Goddess were not gradually weakened, but suddenly fell into silence after a major explosion of divine power.

So he suspected that something might have happened to the Ice and Snow Goddess herself. Although his devout faith prevented the great magician from writing something too directly pessimistic, the strong uneasiness revealed in his words already revealed enough information.

Roger stroked the notebook that recorded the great magician’s more than ten years of hard work, looked at the white snow outside the window, and just thought: "If the conjecture in this notebook is true, then it seems that God can also be destroyed. How far is the distance between God and man?"

He closed his eyes, as if listening to something. But to his disappointment, there was no sound at all from the carriage behind. Not only that, the two people in the car were like sculptures, except for occasionally blinking their eyes, not even moving a finger.

In the carriage following Rogge were Lei Luo and Mei. Most of the restrictions on Lei Luo have been lifted. Except that he cannot use fighting spirit, he can move freely.

"I am a kind and generous person, always willing to give people one more chance." Before setting off, Rogge said to Lei Luo with a smile.

He looked at Mei again and ordered: "You and Lei Luo take a car together. He will not care about anything for you. It is a rare thing! You talk about old times and persuade him by the way. As long as he is willing to work for me, Forget what happened in the past. And I can help and protect you."

Mei got on the carriage obediently.

However, the development of the situation was beyond Rogge's expectation. Lei Luo and Mei actually said or did nothing along the way.

According to Rogge's understanding, since a romantic **** like Lei Luo is willing to risk his life and death to assassinate himself for Mei Gan, he must have fallen in love with Mei to a very deep level.

Although Lei Luo and Mei wanted to pretend to be strangers to each other at first, the source of their power could not fool Fatty, it was all natural power. What's more, Mei is not good at hypocrisy. The initial change in her expression already revealed her concern for Lei Luo. When Lei Luo was captured and faced his own death, the look he looked at Mei was full of sadness and reluctance, with almost all the entanglements between the two clearly written on his face. Rogge is cunning and cunning, and has a deep understanding of human nature. At first glance, it is obvious that Lei Luo and Mei have a deep relationship.

But he still doesn't know if Lei Luo has other purposes, or if he simply wants to kill himself and rescue Mei. However, judging from the current situation, Lei Luo is more likely to just save Mei. Although he has good abilities, it is a bit unreasonable to want to assassinate Rogge single-handedly. You have to have a few accomplices to help you, right?

The more Mei pretends to be indifferent, the more deeply she falls in love with Lei Luo. Rogge is determined to make good use of Lei Luo's card to force out the true purpose of Mei's strange actions that day.

It was freezing and snowy outside the car, but it was as warm as spring inside. The small magic device under the seat continuously supplied heat energy. The carriage was extremely comfortable and luxurious. It was originally Rogge's exclusive carriage, but now it was given to them. In such an environment, two lovers who are in love and are in a desperate situation suddenly have a moment to be alone. If something doesn't happen, it would be unreasonable.

After something happens, when the two of them are leaning on each other, they have to talk to each other. Roger had been waiting for this moment.

But things did not go as Rogge expected, and nothing happened in the carriage.

Even if they only communicated silently with gestures, they could not escape the detection of Rogge's mental power. But these two people were like lifeless stone statues, motionless.

Did Lei Luo and Mei discover that they were spying in secret? Rogge shook his head and immediately ruled out this possibility.

Fat Man has discovered that most strong people's understanding and use of mental power is actually quite rudimentary. For example, Androni was unable to detect the location of Rogge who had used his mental power to mask his aura, and she was completely unaware of Rogge's detection of her using his mental power. Although her power is not yet mature, it is obvious that Prosis's achievements in this field are not very good, otherwise Androni should have been taught the skills of defense and detection of mental power.

Rogg's concealment has been hidden from even Audeleihe and Sky Fury, how could Lei Luo and Mei discover it?

So Lei Luo and Mei are communicating in a way that Rogge doesn't know? This is also impossible. Rogge did not find any signs of magic, fighting spirit or even the activity of the goddess of nature, and the two of them did not make any movements.

"Are they flirting with each other?" Fatty thought viciously. The original clever arrangement had reached a deadlock, and he had lost patience.

Although the fighting spirit practiced by Lei Luo is also derived from the power system of the goddess of nature, it is still different from the city of Yunxiao under the jurisdiction of Sky Fury. Rogge judged based on this that Lei Luo was probably born under other great druids. The fat man really wanted to know more about the other great druids, especially the skin-to-skin kiss with Mei, which was extremely weird. It was always a lingering concern for him, so he made such painstaking arrangements.

When he thought that the Fury of the Sky that he had worked so hard to kill was only one of the four great druids, Rogge's head ached again. During the battle with Tiffany that day, although Fatty was unparalleled in his bravery, facing the wrath of the sky that had consumed a lot of magic power, and being the first to succeed in a sneak attack, he still went through many dangers before killing him. Most magicians are weak and not good at close combat, and the Archmage is no exception. To deal with a great mage whose magic power is severely consumed, whose protective magic has been eliminated, and who has people getting close to him, a tenth-level warrior is enough. Rogge, who had made sufficient preparations in advance, thought that even the Druid had some power in close combat, but in this situation, facing the Wrath of the Sky would only be a tough fight at best.

But he didn't expect Sky's Fury's close combat spells to be so fierce. Only a tiny chance between life and death allowed Rogge to kill Sky's Fury. If the Fury of the Sky didn't cherish his own life so much, then Rogge would have been killed on the spot.

Even if Sky's Fury is the strongest among the four great druids, the other three great druids may not be easy to deal with.

The carriage behind him remained silent.

Roger's anger gradually rose. If it weren't for the fact that he had not mastered death magic, and the memories extracted from the soul were full of holes, how could Lei Luo be allowed to be so carefree? Being able to endure it till now, Rogge thought that he was very good at self-restraint.

He waved his hand to summon a piece of thin ice as smooth as ice, tried his best to smile at the shadow on the ice, and kept saying to himself: "Don't be angry, relax, relax. Be patient and learn Waiting, waiting is also a kind of wisdom..."

Froya poked her head out of the blanket, glanced at Rogge vaguely, snorted and said, "I'm practicing pretending to be a good person again. Isn't it a little late?"

"Of course it's not too late!" Rogge finally managed to maintain an amiable smile, turned to her and said: "Besides, I am a good person, so why do I need to dress up?"

The result of his efforts was only a big eye roll from the little goblin. "Are you a good person? That's what really happened." After saying that, the little goblin stretched lazily, retracted into the blanket, and continued her sweet dream.

At this time, there was a faint noise outside the car window. Luo opened the curtains and looked out, seeing a fairly large village passing by. The villagers gathered in the open space outside the village, making noisy noises. There was a wooden stake in the clearing, with a man tied to it. A small team was separated from the cavalry guarding Rogge and surrounded the open space. An old man among the villagers was negotiating with the cavalry captain.

"What's going on?" Rogge opened the car window and asked.

"Lord Rogge, there is a dispute between the Eye of Wisdom and the believers of the Silver Holy Cult. The one tied to the stake is the believer of the Eye of Wisdom. The villagers intend to burn him to death. The villain has sent people to stop him in time. , and asked them to release him." Although this knight commander was born in the Tide Legion, he knew how to advance and retreat. He knew that Prince Rogge was the biggest supporter of the Eye of Wisdom, so he made preparations without waiting for Rogge's instructions.

Roger nodded with satisfaction and closed the car window.

At noon, the carriage suddenly stopped. This time, before Rogge took the initiative to ask, the cavalry commander himself came to report.

"Lord Rogge, there is a group of thousands of Silver Holy Cult believers passing by in front. They claim to destroy the Eye of Wisdom Cathedral in Zolamu City. What do you think we should do?"

Zolamu City is not far from the territory of the Principality of Leighton. The cathedral there is the last church of the Eye of Wisdom in the empire. In a short period of time, this religious war has burned down thirteen churches of the Eye of Wisdom in the empire, turning thousands of believers into wandering souls.

Rogg thought for a moment and said calmly: "Let them pass."

The knight commander was startled. Although he was puzzled, he still ordered the cavalry that besieged the Silver Holy Cult followers to be withdrawn, and escorted Rogge to continue to the imperial capital.

A week ago, the church in Zolamu City would have been burned down in flames. But now everything is different. Mora and dozens of fanatical mages have gone to Zolamu City to appease the believers. What will greet these thousands of Silver Holy Cult believers will be magical flames that support the sky and cover the earth.

In the afternoon, after a morning of tug-of-war, the sun finally drove away the heavy clouds, and the majestic red sun once again reigned over the northern land. The carriage was filled with warm golden light, making people sleepy. After having a simple lunch, Froya just sat down for a while and yawned twice in succession. Her beautiful green eyes became blurry again. She simply got into the blanket and continued to sleep.

A magic book with a lambskin cover slipped from her hands and fell silently on the thick carpet. Roger reached out to pick it up and opened it. It turned out to be a book explaining the working principles of natural forces.

It turns out that she had always remembered it... Rogge trembled slightly in his heart, and then turned his gaze to the monotonous and desolate scenery of the Northland outside the car window.

In just one day's journey, Rogge has fully witnessed the horrors of religious wars. In remote border areas where state power is difficult to reach, spontaneous struggles among believers become more unscrupulous due to the lack of restraint. He saw a man who was burned to death, a believer who was impaled on a stake and who was still alive, and a girl who was insulted to death. Of course, the vast majority of these people are believers in the Eye of Wisdom.

"Whose territory is this?" In the evening, Rogge finally asked the cavalry commander this question.

"This area should be the territory of Marquis Pontique." the cavalry commander replied.

Roger nodded and closed the car window.

Froya was still curled up like a kitten. Perhaps because she was too tired in the past period, she slept soundly.

"You have seen everything along the way, what are you going to do next?" At some point, Macbeth, made of pale golden light, appeared in the carriage and sat next to Roger.

"For any believer, faith is unique. Either this God or that God. So for people like us who want to expand the power of faith, there are only two results, gain or lose .I never like to lose." Rogge replied calmly.

Macbeth said: "There may be a third way between gain and loss. Unfortunately, most of my memories remain in the heaven, and now I only have a little vague memory. My body is going to the north soon, hoping to be able to Harvest. I can’t protect you during this period, so you have to spend more time to increase your strength."

He glanced at Rogge, frowned and said: "Wait a minute, the power of the goddess of nature in your body seems to have changed... But I can't see where it has changed specifically. You don't have to worry too much, I will remember this."

There was a sudden fluctuation in the space, and Wella also appeared in the carriage. She took off Demon Lotus's helmet, and her straight blond hair fell down, lighting up the entire carriage.

Wella's eyes turned a faint golden color as she stared at Macbeth.

Macbeth smiled, bowed and said: "I am not a good choice for you."

"Indeed." Wei Na said. "When you go to the north, help me pay attention to those existences whose power is still tolerated."

Macbeth muttered: "Although swallowing will make your strength grow rapidly, the power it brings is not pure, and it is actually not good for your final improvement in strength."

Weina said coldly: "I know better than you whether it is beneficial or not."

"I have stayed with the Lord God long enough..."

"You got the second pair of wings because you have been singing praises to the Lord God for a long enough time. It does not mean that your power has reached the level of four wings." Wei Na's words were as sharp as a sword.

Macbeth smiled helplessly. He knew that arguing with the Angel of Light about his understanding of power was just asking for trouble, so he decided to avoid it and gradually disappeared.

Rogg stared at Wella with a very strange expression on his face. After a while, he said: "Fengyue, you have changed so much..."

Wella smiled faintly, swept a strand of hair that fell in front of her ears, and said, "Have I changed? In fact, everything is the same as before, it's just that you noticed it now."

The plain words made Rogge stay where he was.

Wella looked at the sleeping Froya next to her, took off Demon Lotus's gloves, and reached out to rub the little fairy's long golden hair. The little goblin whose sleep was disturbed had a very bad temper. She did not wake up completely. She only made an indistinct and angry grunt, then she sighed and covered her head with a blanket.

Weina smiled and said: "She can really sleep!"

Roger sighed: "She is too tired."

Out the window, the setting sun is golden, and the distant mountains and land are filled with golden colors. In the car, the fragrance is flowing secretly, and the two beauties are stunningly beautiful. Faced with this situation, for some reason, Rogge couldn't be happy at all.

"Feng Yue, your power..."

"I have my own way. But you must always remember that only power is everything and the whole world." After finishing speaking, Wella reorganized the demon lotus and disappeared into the void.

As night fell, Rogge finally boarded the carriage behind him. He looked at Lei Luo and Mei, who were sitting opposite each other, and said with a smile: "You really impress me! I want to ask, have you thought about it?"

Both Lei Luo and Mei looked at Rogge calmly, and their determined expressions seemed to be carved from the same mold, which made Rogge's anger uncontrollably rise again. The fat man nodded and said: "Okay! Very good! It seems that you have made a decision. My only hope is that you will not regret it."

Rogg tore Lei Luo's clothes open, revealing his toned body, and then took out the soul-eating dagger from his arms, gently sliding the cold blade on his bulging chest muscles.

"Well, Mr. Lei Luo, the time for forgiveness has passed. Now it's time to settle the issues between us. You preempted the game of Princess Malika who was destined to marry me, and almost caused me to lose it. The title of Prince. You have embarrassed me again in front of the servants in Dresden. But I don't care about this, but do you remember that you once stabbed an elf with this dagger! I once promised As a person, I have to take good care of this elf, but in order to keep her life, I had to turn her into an existence more evil than the dark elf, but even so, I still couldn't save her life in the end. No, I didn't I'm not saying that I am a good person. On the contrary, you will soon find out how cruel and evil I am. Now, do you want to taste this dagger for yourself?"

In Rogge's mind, Fengdie was certainly killed by the Druid.

"Please!" Lei Luo said indifferently.

Roger smiled and said: "With such deep hatred, how could I just take advantage of you like this?"

The fat man casually cast a paralysis spell, blocking all Lei Luo's ability to move, and then there was silence, preventing him from even screaming. After the arrangement was completed, Rogge tore Lei Luo's pants, glanced at his lower body, and praised: "It's really good! It's a pity that your dear Mei still fell into my hands. Malika's hatred Just forget it!"

Rogg raised his head with a smile and looked at Mei.

Mei's face turned pale and her body trembled.

"Mei, guess how I will treat Lei Luo?"

Mei smiled very reluctantly and said bitterly: "I don't... know."

Rogg stroked Lei Luo's strong and perfect body, and said slowly: "This body is perfect, and of course it cannot be damaged at will, so I will not use physical torture on him. Of course, except for this thing."

Rogg used the soul-eating dagger to pick up Lei Luo's majestic **** and said: "There are the best doctors in the imperial army outside. I will let them use the bluntest knife to castrate this thing every day. Remove a small piece, and then heal the wound. When we arrive at the gate of the imperial capital, we must castrate off the last remaining bit!"

There was no color on Mei's face.

Roger continued: "One thing that is unfortunate for you is that my ability to manipulate souls is probably better than that of ordinary great magisters. I don't plan to ask anything from Lei Luo now. , so I will absorb his memory once a day, as much as I can know. ~IndoMTL.com~ At the moment I arrive in the imperial capital, I will completely pull his soul out of the body. As for this person who has lost his soul The body will be an excellent material for making dolls. Those lonely ladies will definitely like it very much."

Mei lowered her head and bit her lip.

Roger suddenly shouted: "Tell me everything you know and I will let him go immediately!"

Mei's whole body trembled, but she gritted her teeth and said: "My faith is higher than...everything. Besides, I don't know anything, and I can't say it even if I want to."

"Very good!" Rogge said gently: "Mei, are you afraid of death?"

"I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to die. I want to find a chance to take revenge. At least I want to live until the day I see you destroyed. And I'm also afraid that my soul will suffer after death." Mei has calmed down. .

"Okay, I am a tolerant person, so I will give you this opportunity. But you must obey my arrangements in everything."

Mei regained her iceberg-like coldness and nodded.

Roger laughed and said, "Then do what you did that day again in front of Mr. Lei Luo!"
