As expected, he pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out why.
Let’s not think about it. Anyway, ordinary people make up the majority of the people in the Thor continent, and it is enough that the gods can deceive them.
As for the extraordinary people, as long as they stay in the human gathering place, they dare not disrespect me, let alone take action against me.
He was in a good mood, and the summer night breeze brought some cool breeze.
It’s late at night, go to rest, and you will have another sweet dream tonight.
Charlie stood up, holding on to the armrests of the bamboo rocking chair, and walked toward the bedroom.
After taking two steps, loud shouts from believers were heard from the gate of the courtyard. They were very short and disappeared in a few seconds.
"The believers who dealt with the mayor are back." Charlie muttered to himself, and without stopping, he walked into the bedroom, took off his clothes, got into bed, and closed his eyes.
He has always been able to fall asleep very quickly. Within a few minutes, he was already feeling sleepy and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
"Your Excellency, someone is looking for you."
asshole!
Charlie, who was just about to fall asleep, was very irritable when he woke up.
He threw off the thin blanket and hastily put on a white robe. He gritted his teeth and pulled open the door with both hands:
"You'd better give me a full reason..."
"Good evening, His Eminence the Bishop of the Church."
……
Zhang Mu stood in the middle of the courtyard, holding the staff in his right hand and gently shaking it with his left hand as if saying goodbye to a good friend: "I'm sorry to wake you up, but it doesn't matter, you won't be able to sleep tonight anyway.
Well, I guess I won’t be able to sleep anymore.”
Charlie looked at him for a while, and glanced at the trembling believers standing next to him.
Rone didn't come back, and Zhang Mu blocked the door in the middle of the night. There was no need for further explanation, as he already understood what was going on.
Charlie was not too frightened when his murderer stepped on his face and yelled at him, because he was standing in the church.
The anger in his eyes subsided, and he showed his usual kindness and gentleness: "Sir, if you want to pray, please come back tomorrow morning.
It is disrespectful and evil to disturb the peace of the church late at night."
Charlie smiled contentedly, his chest filled with confidence. The church represents God, and disobeying God is disobeying the church.
The church stipulates that armed conflicts are prohibited in human settlements, so no one dares to use force in the church built in the central area of Kas Town.
"Lord, Bishop, he, he killed Tiny and the others."
The gentle smile on Charlie's lips froze.
After a while, the kindness in his eyes faded, leaving only indifference and sarcasm: "You are very courageous, a guest from a foreign land."
“It is undeniable that you are able to master magic at your current age, and even become an apprentice magician above a magic apprentice. Your talent is enviable.
In the future, you will have the opportunity to become a high-level magician and even obtain an exclusive title...
But all these will vanish into thin air and disappear from your life the moment you offend the church."
As he spoke, he spread out the five fingers of his right hand, and a book with a white cover flew out from the bedroom behind him and landed in his hand, which he clenched tightly.
Although his own vocation was only that of a monk, he guessed that the other party should be an apprentice magician, because it was impossible for the other party to reach a higher level at his age.
But Charlie remained fearless.
Because he was in church.
The statues of gods in the church have been blessed with magic by high-ranking believers, which can enhance the power of light magic within a certain range.
The magnitude was so great that Charlie was not afraid of Zhang Mu, who was one level higher than him.
He opened the white paper.
The thought of being able to kill a genius magician made him, despite his poor talent, so excited that his right hand trembled and he could hardly hold the white paper.
"heresy!"
"According to the oracle, you are granted death as divine punishment for disobeying the church!"
"Holy Light!"
Chapter 35 The Source of the Church's Strength
Under the bright moonlight, the horse galloped wildly on the narrow dirt road.
The believers who followed Bishop Charles' orders felt that it was still a little slow, so they whipped the horses hard to urge them to go faster.
I estimated in my mind that at the current speed, we would be able to reach Bala City at sunrise tomorrow.
Before he could collect his thoughts, the believer suddenly heard the sound of chaotic horse hooves coming from the front.
When the sound got closer, he saw eight horses.
When they were not far in front of him and could see the person on the horse clearly, the believer pulled the reins hard, and the horse's front hooves were raised high.
Before landing, the believer turned over and dismounted, put his right hand on his left chest, knelt on one knee, and saluted the stopped group of people:
"Bishop Hagrid, hello."
"Are you a member of the Kas Town branch?" asked the leader, a middle-aged man in a bright red robe.
"Yes, Bishop Hagrid." The believer responded with his head down, wondering why the bishop was rushing towards Cass Town overnight.
Hagrid glanced at Mingyue and asked him, "Are you going to Bala City? What's the matter?"
He hurriedly stood up and handed over the letter in his arms. The believer explained: "There is a heretic in Cass Town. It is very powerful. Bishop Charlie needs support."
heresy?
Hagrid's face was calm, but he felt inexplicably amused in his heart. Don't I know what kind of person Charlie is?
Is it because he has offended someone he cannot afford to offend by extorting money?
Taking the letter, Hagrid was too lazy to open it: "I understand, you can go back first."
"Yes, Bishop Hagrid." The believers mounted their horses and returned the same way.
As the figure walked away, a lightly armored Christian behind Hagrid squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and took a few steps forward: "Bishop Hagrid, should we deal with the heretics first, or look for..."
“Don’t worry about him, Charlie is a cautious person, he won’t step out of the town until we reach Cass.
If he really loses his mind and walks out of town, he will be courting death."
"As for the people he offended." Hagrid chuckled, "In the Thor continent, no one dares to violate the church's regulations. In human gathering places..."
The milky white light that suddenly emerged from his robe interrupted his confident speech.
The seven believers looked towards the light source at the same time, their expressions astonished as if they had seen their dead relatives resurrected.
Hagrid took out a crystal ball that was emitting a milky white light and said in disbelief, "Has the Word of Truth cast on the statue of the church in Kas Town been activated?"
Anger rose in the hearts of the eight people at the same time.
If a bishop of a remote town was killed in the wild, they would not be interested in investigating the murderer.
But the activation of the Word of Truth meant that the bishop of the local church encountered an enemy that he could not defeat in the church.
"How dare you break the rules!
heresy!
I will tie him to a cross and burn him to ashes with the most intense fire in the world!"
Hagrid raised the whip above his head and hit the horse's butt hard, then rushed madly towards the town of Cass, followed closely by the seven cultists.
……
Cass Town Church.
Zhang Mu, who was standing in the middle of the yard, almost died of laughter as he watched a fist-sized ball of pure white light flying towards him.
Flipping through books and reciting divine punishment aloud, is that all?
Instead of dodging, he swung his staff lightly, and a fireball appeared in front of him and rushed straight towards the ball of light.
The two collided and exploded in mid-air, and flames spread in all directions along with the impact.
Charlie and Zhang Mu chose to mobilize their mental strength at the same time to offset the aftermath of the impact.
As expected, the ordinary believers who were a few steps away from the center of the impact were blown away and fell into the flower bed, their lives or deaths unknown.
Charlie on this side narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that he was indeed an apprentice magician as he had guessed.
The magic apprentice's magic power is not enough to use fireball to resist his own amplified holy light bullet.
Believing himself to be certain that Zhang Mu's strength was the same as he had imagined, Charlie's remaining panic was replaced by confidence.
He turned a page of the white paper in his hand: "Even the benevolent light will become angry. Light, transform into an invincible sword, pierce the enemy, and slash with the sword of lightsaber!"
The pure white light condensed into a long sword, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air, and pierced Zhang Mu's forehead.
Iron waste.
The lightsaber was almost in front of him, but Zhang Mu still had the mind to curse Charlie.
Common sense from Avril's classroom - casting magic requires the assistance of chanting spells, which means that the caster has extremely low proficiency in the magic.
As a monk of the church, I need the help of spells to use magic within my level. All these years of practice have been in vain.
Zhang Mu raised his staff, and magic power poured into the crystal at the top like a torrent.
Three fireballs appeared at the same time and rushed towards the lightsaber in succession.
I have to admit that the blessing magic of the statue is really something. The fireball and lightsaber are of the same level of power, and the latter directly pierces the former.
His power did not diminish at all and he continued to stab towards Zhang Mu.
No wonder no one dares to disobey the church.
Zhang Mu had a strange look on his face. Such a useless guy was enhanced by the blessing magic to a level higher than himself who had the character template of "genius magician".
Fortunately, I'm not a genius magician, I'm just cheating.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Mu mobilized his magic power again and condensed a fireball.
