Priests are a sacred and great profession. During the war, they are the most powerful partners of the warriors on the front line. Their existence gives the warriors unlimited courage and confidence. It is said that the top priests can be on top at the same time with just a wave of their hands. Thousands of warrior blessings or healing.
But in the heyday of priests, their real role did not lie in this. The Holy See's unique strength meant that they did not need to participate in too many wars. Therefore, their mission became to travel throughout the continent. Experience, or settle in a village or town to become a local healer.
At that time, the medical level in the Dark Continent was extremely poor. Even the elven druids who were proficient in medicine were helpless against many diseases. Facing the invasion of diseases, most people could only rely on their own resistance to get through it. If a plague happened to break out, It was even more horrible to see corpses strewn across the land. Under the intrusion of various unexpected diseases, natural disasters, wild beasts, etc., the average life span of humans at that time was only more than thirty years old, and the population of the entire Dark Continent only maintained around ten million. .
It is precisely because of the existence of priests that humans in the Dark Continent gradually prospered. Problems such as wounds, diseases, and even plagues were all resolved one by one in the face of the priests’ meticulous power. According to historical statistics, after the priests appeared, one During a hundred years, the average life span of humans in the entire Dark Continent has increased dramatically. This growth trend has never stopped with the gradual popularization of the priest profession. It was not until a thousand years later that the entire Dark Continent tended to a prosperous and stable period, and then gradually After stabilizing, within a few thousand years, the average life span of human beings has been extended from more than thirty years to more than one hundred years, and the population of the Dark Continent has increased from tens of millions to tens of billions at its peak.
certainly. With the increase in life span and population, humans in the Dark Continent have continued to develop in various aspects such as medical treatment. Just like now, even if the priests have completely disappeared, the life span of ordinary people can still be maintained at about a hundred years, but there is no It is undeniable that the key to promoting the prosperity of the entire Dark Continent is the priest. Without their appearance, some boring historians estimate that it would have taken at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands more years for humans to achieve the effect in that thousand years.
Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine the status of priests in people's minds at that time. Even in the future, their abilities will gradually be weakened by various civilization developments and new things, but their status will still be unshakable. Every session of the Holy See The pope must be the most outstanding priest. In the minds of common people, priests are the spokespersons of God. This can be easily seen from many knightly novels handed down in ancient times - almost every protagonist has a loyal, reliable, hard-working priest partner beside him. He was supported silently from behind.
If the priest character is male. Then he must have a gentle personality, be wise and calm, and be the most important brother or elder of the protagonist. If he is a woman, 99.999% of the time... he has a gentle and tactful personality. Kindhearted. And she is young and beautiful, and her identity is mostly that of the protagonist's childhood sweetheart, or the protagonist's adopted sister, or she may be a confused girl she met by chance on the journey to defeat the Demon King in order to save the princess. (Then when the protagonist is dying, she bursts out with infinite power - "It turns out that her true identity is actually the granddaughter of the pope, the daughter of a king of a superpower who has been missing for many years, and she is the reincarnation of a six-winged holy angel" and so on. ), one of the protagonist’s lovers who is second only to the princess...
In other words, you can hear it by reading the book, but the YY level of Dark Continent should not be underestimated.
Back to business. It is precisely because priests had an otherworldly status in ancient times. Therefore, he is still worshiped by the common people even now, especially since the invasion of hell. Many materials and technologies have been completely lost, and the population has dropped from tens of billions in its heyday to less than a billion now. Amid the constant fear and disease that is raging again, the importance of priests seems to have increased again.
Therefore, in the following conversation, businessmen A and B actually gave the pastor they talked about, that is, me, no less than Sister Sharna. This really surprised me. In fact, I pretended to be a pastor mainly because Just to calm down the hesitation accumulated in my heart due to frequent killings.
The other identity that they briefly mentioned was actually just wearing the Excellence Helmet, not even deliberately dressing up. After the mission is completed, it is estimated that this identity will gradually be forgotten by people.
As for the desert bandits they call, it was indeed me. As I said before, I have killed thousands of people in the past few months. Of course, they cannot all be degenerates-- --It is estimated that the entire Fallen Alliance only has this number in total. Therefore, in fact, only one percent of the Fallen who actually died in my hands, which is about ten or so, and the rest are all ordinary Just desert bandits.
Some people may ask, these desert bandits have been causing trouble in the Western Kingdom for hundreds of years. Why can't other masters eliminate them, so why did they get wiped out by me alone? This may indeed be due to some coincidence, because in fact, the strength of these desert bandits is not weak, and there are even a few mercenary masters who have fallen into the trap. However, this is not a problem. The most helpless thing is They are very familiar with the desert environment. Although the King System, the Mercenary System, the Mage Guild, and even teams organized by career changers have encircled and suppressed them more than once, the gains each time were not very great.
Until two months ago, I was patrolling the villages around the Oasis City. Seeing that it was getting late and the cold wind in the desert was gradually raging, it was too late to go back to the city or nearby villages to rest. Fortunately, when I was feeling depressed, I I just happened to find a small oasis nearby, so I planned to sleep in a tent here for the night. However, what surprised me a little was that there was a large caravan stationed in the oasis, plus some pedestrians and small businessmen, hundreds of people. Personally, this small oasis is packed to the brim.
Just when I had cleared a piece of land and hadn't even set up my tent yet, the silent oasis was lit up in vain. Thousands of torches surrounded the entire oasis. At this time, someone shouted the name of the desert bandit loudly and horrified, with faces on their faces. He showed a look of despair, because after these robbers robbed him. Except for beautiful women, no one is left alive.
These desert bandits have already targeted the large business group stationed in the oasis and have been following them for a long time. It was not until here that they finally took action. I thought there should be a traitor among the bandits, but he never expected that at the moment before taking action, I actually joined in the fun and rushed over. Not to mention that the traitor didn't know my strength. Even if he did, he wouldn't have had time to inform me. Therefore, what happens next can be expected...
What, how is it possible to wipe out all the horse thieves? You're just kidding me. Although I don't take these thousands of bandits seriously, I can often experience this kind of situation in Rogge Camp - a person is dumbfounded. Rushing into the camp of thousands of super-large fallen demons..., purely in terms of combat power. Thousands of robbers may not be as good as thousands of fallen demons.
Due to the huge number, I can't completely prevent them from killing people, so there will only be two results, if they ignore my strength and make up their mind to grab this product. Then the business group in the oasis may not escape death, but these bandits will also be buried with them.
The above result is probably only chosen by a fool, so after I killed hundreds of bandits like a flock of sheep. They huffed and ran away. They know the environment here very well, and the sky is dark and strong winds are about to rise, so even if I dispatched Xiaoxue and Lazy Crow, I still couldn't track them.
When things have reached this point, if things develop normally, it is estimated that the desert bandits will suffer small losses and continue to do evil after recuperating for a period of time. But surprises are always inevitable. I never expected to be in this oasis. There is actually a person, a rather special person, an old man with a weird temper, moodiness, and distrust of anyone. Speaking of this, I guess everyone can guess who he is. Yes, he was on the adventure last time. While wandering around the park, I met the old monster Lysander.
My act of coming forward this time unexpectedly gained his trust, but in my opinion, it doesn't matter even if I gain his trust. He is not a hermit, a master, a worldly expert, and naturally there will be no retaliation. I am a disciple or give him secret books, which is a good thing, but in fact, this kind of cheap trust value can only allow me to give him priority in purchasing urgently needed items such as antidote potions.
However, what I didn't expect was that he actually provided me with a piece of news that would involve me in all kinds of troubles again, and this news was also quite shocking to me. The man who once lied to me The old liar Aigis, who bought a tattered two-handed sword and was also defrauded of a gold-level Priest's Book by me. We were tied with each other (how weird), but he actually has a very dark history--- -Before he washed his hands in the golden basin, he was actually the famous desert bandit leader.
Can I ignore this news? Is it really possible? It doesn't matter to me that I live up to the expectations of this weird old man, Lysander, but recently, for some reason, it seems like something that naturally breaks out in women when they reach a certain period. What are you thinking about? I'm talking about motherhood, right?
----I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel that the boring sense of justice and compassion that I have hidden deep in my heart recently seems to be particularly strong, just like the mother’s love in the sudden period. The protagonists in other novels who travel to different worlds are more and more... The more evil and lewd, the more prosperous I am. When I get better, I develop in the opposite direction. Could it be that my future is the druid Wu Fan of love, justice, harmony and sacrifice?
Therefore, driven by this damn sense of justice, I still found Aigis. Under the coercion and inducement, Aigis, who had already lost his position because his identity was exposed, couldn't resist it. After promising him absolute confidentiality, Aigis He obediently handed over several strongholds of the desert bandits.
What to do next? Naturally, the bandits are to be eliminated. Who should we look for to eliminate them? In fact, I can do it alone, but if I can discuss it with Talen (Mage Guild) or Graz (mercenary leader) or even the fat pig king, maybe things will become easier. The next moment, I The love burst out again, forget it, since I can solve it by myself, it’s better not to involve other people. Aigis said that there are several mercenary-level masters among the robbers. If someone accidentally loses his life, I guess I have to feel guilty about it again. Well, from now on, please call me Lord Wu Fan, the Druid of Love and Justice.
So, on a dark and windy night with high mosquitoes and mosquitoes, in a hidden canyon, four ghost wolves guarded the exit. Poison Flower Vine and Xiaoxue and I sneaked inside and started a ruthless massacre. In this battle, we killed all Killing robbers...well, I haven't counted them. There should be thousands of them anyway. Of course, it's impossible to completely eliminate them. There will always be a few smart ones who can escape. Otherwise, how could my damn identity of the Three Heroes be spread? Coming.
After I killed someone that night, I was depressed for a long time. I looked at the hot blood on my hands, clothes, and even on my face and hair. I screamed, cursed, wailed, and begged for mercy... Those desperate moans kept repeating over and over again in my ears.
I stayed there for a long time, because - I didn't feel anything at all. Guilt, fear, loss, emptiness... nothing at all. Could it be that I had a feeling because I had killed a job transferee? It feels like "after killing an elephant, killing ants is nothing."
How I wish I could be afraid of killing people, but I can no longer do it. All I can fear now is that I cannot be afraid of killing people.
But fortunately, the silly little ghost will always be by my side.
