Creating a Sandbox World Chapter 66: God, staring at you
Generally speaking, the power development trajectory of this world is not much different from Lin Tuo's guess.
Lin Tuo asked about the "practice method" again, and learned that although this method is not top secret, the civilian class rarely has the opportunity to come into contact with it, and it is only circulated among the upper classes of society and the elite army.
Lin Tuo is not very surprised about this. In this kind of society with huge social differences, knowledge gaps are normal.
As for the church, the one who believes in is the "Creation God".
It is recorded in religious classics that at first, the creation gods built this world, feeling in the desolation, from the void to attract countless creatures with pure silver boats, come to this world, and thrive until today.
En, I have to admit that Lin Tuo was a little relieved when he heard this part of the information.
At least, these people have not completely forgotten themselves... Although this story has been obviously modified and distorted.
It’s just that when Carter talked about the church's rampant hunting of wizards in the name of oracles, this relief was completely gone.
"You mean, the Kingdom Church claimed to be using the oracle to apprehend and purify the group of wizards?" Lin Tuo's face was a little ugly.
"Yes, the church said that wizards are servants of demons, but you can see, my nephew and niece are obviously ordinary people, where did you believe in demons?" Carter couldn't help complaining.
Lin Tuo ignored him, but understood in his heart that the so-called evil theory is probably a fabricated pretense. With reference to the history of the earth, similar barbaric acts have also occurred.
"Don't the wizards try to resist?" Lin Tuo frowned and asked.
Carter heard the words, shook his head, and said bitterly: "You are probably from the Southern Continent. The wizards of the Northern Continent have been in decline hundreds of years ago..."
is probably because there are wizards in the family, and Carter knows this knowledge well.
According to him, thousands of years ago, wizarding associations all over the mainland were still powerful enough to contend with the church, and even suppressed the latter for a period of time.
only, later, as the wizards' talents declined, it gradually declined.
The so-called “decline of talent” means that the more later, the wizards born on this land naturally possess the talent “spells”, the less effective they are, and the fewer the number of them.
In the beginning, it could be compensated by practice, but later, as the group of knights and priests expanded, the original group of wizards fell.
Originally, wizards are generally very talented in training. If they change to other spells in time, they will not decline so quickly, but it is probably due to a certain kind of pride. For a long time, wizards have been holding on to death. Keeping the talent spells.
even broke out internal differences in theoretical directions.
so much so that the northern "Wizards Association", which is not strong in binding force, completely disintegrated, and the wizards of the northern continent have gradually dispersed, becoming a scattered inheritance of families, masters and apprentices.
is in the far South Continent. I heard that the wizards who transformed in time and embraced the new spells developed well.
In any case, in this context, the entire Northern Continent, especially in the Kingdom of Drey, the wizards are completely weak and loose sand, facing the church’s collective action of the Templars, they have no resistance. .
Even a handful of powerful wizards are hard to support and can only escape.
"In the past year, the powerful wizards were either arrested and executed by the church, or they fled to the Southern Continent early, and the rest had no ability to resist." Baron Carter sighed deeply.
is this...
Lin Tuo's eyes flickered when he heard the words, but it was really a bit unexpected. The wizard's talents and supernatural powers have declined, and the number of groups has shrunk. Is this due to genetics?
, for example, blood veins, the more they go back, the thinner they are.
"In addition...the knights of the church, there is something wrong." Suddenly, Carter said this.
"Oh?"
"Yes, although I don't know much, I have met the Templars before, but these church knights who hunted for wizards... are somewhat different from what I saw when I was young.
is more gloomy, fierce, fanatical, bloody... as if it were an inhuman killing machine. "
Through the conversation, Carter was finally convinced that Lin Tuo did not come from the church, otherwise it would be impossible to ask these questions. In his opinion, the mysterious young man in front of him is probably a powerful wizard from the Southern Continent.
Therefore, when it comes to the church, there are not so many scruples.
"A...killing machine without humanity?" Lin Tuo pondered and repeated this sentence.
"Yes, if you don’t believe me, just go to the church, no, go to the monastery in the town to see. They only came here yesterday, and there were many wizards in the team.
The day I entered the town, I saw with my own eyes dozens or hundreds of them tied with iron ropes, tied behind the horses, and pulled, a long string.
The wizards are covered with blood and wounds, and boys, women, and children are dragging along like livestock. "
Speaking of this, Carter couldn't help but shiver, as if that scene had appeared before him.
Lin Tuo frowned, some physical discomfort: "Dragging? They were not executed?"
"Yes, I heard that the captured wizard will be brought back to the holy city of the church alive, and the pope will judge him himself."
is this...
Lin Tuo sat in the thick armchair, his expression increasingly confused.
At this point, the matter seemed to be clear, but in his heart, more doubts poured out.
In Lin Tuo's view, this matter is full of doubts.
According to Carter, there hasn't been any turmoil in the Dreite Kingdom in recent years. The whole peace, the realm of faith, the church dominates, the wizards are no longer a climate.
From any angle, there is no reason to start such a movement suddenly.
The royal regime is stable, and the church has a strong faith. Neither party has the need to establish authority through such an intense method.
Of course, it may also be due to Carter’s narrow vision and missing information.
However, feeling the slightest anxiety in his heart, it is still difficult for Lin Tuo to “close the case” after all.
"I have to figure it out. Maybe I should go to the church and see it with my own eyes." Lin Tuo just thought of this, and suddenly, he looked at the room as if he was aware of it. door.
To be precise, it is the direction looking at the castle.
"Someone is coming," he said.
"What?" Carter was taken aback, and even when he saw the "Southern Continent Wizard" in front of him, he got up and went straight out.
Baron hesitated, and subconsciously followed.
The two of them, one after the other, quickly walked along the corridor to the terrace of the castle back house. From this height, you can clearly see the scene outside the castle gate.
I saw, at this moment, a group of horsemen, armed with swords and black cloaks, appeared at the gate of the castle. The spring breeze was blowing, and the metal armor under the cloak could be seen.
"The Templars! It's the church...they..." Seeing this scene, Baron Carter, who had just rushed to the terrace, had a pale face, almost limp to the ground.
Looking at the menacing appearance of the other party, it is obviously not a normal "visit".
was it discovered? But... how come...
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in Carter's field of vision. It was his housekeeper, who was diligently opening the castle gate.
"It seems that your servant betrayed you." Lin Tuo said emotionally, "Yes, how can you be completely undiscovered in the castle?"
"He..." Carter's eyes were splitting, and his heart was extremely angry, but he was forced to suppress it.
Without hesitation, he turned his head and ran back to the secret room. On the way, he took a basin from the kitchen, and when he ran into the room, he directly poured cold water into the comatose brother and sister.
"Wow——"
Under the stimulation of the cold water, the two young men finally opened their eyes, looking blankly: "Uncle..."
"Too late to explain, go!" Carter trembled all over, pulled them up forcibly, staggered and ran out the door, but he had no expectations in his heart.
Just when the three of them came to the edge of the terrace, the boy named Morey stopped abruptly, looked at the castle gate, and exclaimed: "Ah!"
"They...are that person!" The girl beside her couldn't help it, her eyes widened, and she stopped.
"What?" Baron Carter also stared blankly, and then he was stunned.
I saw that the "Southern Continent Wizard" did not know when he had already arrived at the gate of the castle. At this moment, he was standing outside the gate. Beside him, dozens of Templar knights had fallen to the ground, and the blood was filled!
……
……
"Now, let's talk about it."
At the gate of the castle, with a chilly spring breeze blowing from a distance, Lin Tuo stared at the knight chief who had broken his hands and feet and was lying on the ground with an indifferent expression.
Around , a heavily armed church knight was seriously injured and lost the ability to fight.
but almost no one screamed, the atmosphere was strange and cold.
Originally, Lin Tuo just wanted to talk to them. After all, it was not sensible to rashly listen to Baron Carter's side words.
However, what surprised him was that these knights wearing black cloaks seemed to be stimulated the moment they saw themselves, starting the charge~ IndoMTL.com~ The logic of behavior is very different from that of ordinary people, more like ordinary people. It is a beast that has seen its prey.
"Here...Here..."
In the cold wind, the badly injured knight chief kept repeating the word in a low and confused voice.
"What else do you guys say besides heresy?" Lin Tuo coldly snorted, and suddenly his heart moved, he stretched out his hand to drew a long sword from the ground and opened the dark cloak.
revealed the true face of the knight.
Soon, Lin Tuo couldn't help but his eyelids twitched!
These guys...
I saw that as the cloak was lifted, the middle-aged knight almost subconsciously leaned forward, seeming to want to avoid the harsh sunlight.
He has the typical features of the Draé Kingdom, but his skin is deadly white, especially his eyes are almost pure black, without the distinction between pupils and white eyes, just chaotic black.
is obviously not a normal human!
"There really is a problem!" Lin Tuo's heart stunned, and he used his long sword to pick up the cloaks of the remaining knights.
I found that everyone is in a similar state, with pale skin, dark eyes, and an instinct to avoid the sun.
"What the **** are you guys?" Lin Tuo took a slight breath, and pressed the hand holding the long sword slightly.
"Here...Here...you will eventually be swallowed by darkness, and your evil deeds will be condemned by heaven...cannot escape...the gods are staring at you..."
In the eye sockets of the knight commander, a jet of pitch black swirled, repeating similar words and phrases continuously.
Lin Tuo saw this, without any hesitation, stepped forward, pierced his chest with a long sword, penetrated his heart, and killed him with a single blow. At the same time, he looked down at the opponent from a high level and whispered:
"You are right, your evil deeds will be condemned by the heavens and cannot be escaped... the gods, staring at you."
