Nok was very surprised to hear Philip tell the secret of [Holy Light and Punishment].
After all, this is something that even Leo doesn't know about.
Leo only knew that he couldn't use [Holy Light and Punishment], but he didn't know why.
But this vampire actually knows that he is really one of the church's own?
Judging from what he means, he is still a senior.
"You said you met the previous owner of [Holy Light]?"
Nok probed.
Philip replied: "Not my ex, if I remember the time correctly,
That was already two hundred and fifty years ago. When I met Van Helsing,
He has betrayed the church and is wanted within the church.
However, the church did not strip him of his identity or let the outside world know that he was wanted.
Therefore, I am not very clear about the internal conflicts between Van Helsing and the church.
All I know is that Van Helsing was already a famous witcher before I met him.
The name of "Van Helsing" could silence demons and stop babies from crying in the demon hunting world at that time. "
Phillip paused and continued: "Although I asked him why he was wanted within the church,
He only said that the church thought he was a deviant and wanted to arrest him and punish him.
But the specific reason was not stated. But my personal guess is that it should be related to [Holy Light and Punishment].
Because most of the time the clergy who came to arrest him did not attack him violently,
Even when there was an opportunity to seize me and threaten Van Helsing, they never did it.
Instead, more often than not, he was trying to persuade Van Helsing to hand over the Holy Spear [Holy Light and Punishment].
Said that he is not suitable to continue to be the successor of that lineage.
But he was always rejected by Van Helsing.
All I know is that before Van Helsing left me, he said he was going to find the heir to the Holy Spear.
Later, I slept for two hundred years because of the sealing of this evil spirit.
Therefore, I don’t know how many successors of the Holy Spear there were before you.
All I can say is that I met one of them, the witcher Van Helsing. "
After hearing what Phillip said, Nok was secretly surprised.
No wonder the dragon knight took the initiative to retreat when he saw his [holy light].
No wonder the Holy Court wanted to summon him.
Nok also wondered why he, a mere local bishop, had to go to the Holy Court to report on his duties.
It turns out that the Holy Court is eyeing [Holy Light and Punishment]!
Is there any secret to this pair of weapons?
Nok was immediately confused;
I began to recall in my mind the experience of obtaining this pair of weapons.
This pair of weapons was accidentally obtained by him when he was a child, and was not given to him by anyone.
Unable to use its true function, Nok has been using them as hammers.
Until I met Father John, and under his teachings,
Nok has mastered the power to become a professional.
Then I heard Father John talking about the existence of the magic weapon,
Then he secretly tried to instill power into [Holy Light and Punishment].
As a result, I was almost drained.
After being discovered by Father John, he was scolded and even banned Nok from using these weapons until he became a professional.
Until he was thirteen years old, Nok was ready to go out and carry out his first exorcism mission.
Only then did he use them to slay Sebastian, the great demon of hell.
For this reason, Sebastian still hates Nok.
Especially when Nok tricked Sebastian again three years ago in Tarn Village.
Sebastian probably dreams of killing Nok now.
However, Nok found that he could not recall how these weapons appeared beside him.
It was as if he had picked it up suddenly while walking.
When I was a kid, I didn't care about it, but now that I think about it, Nok feels it's weird.
Because the place where Nok picked up the Holy Spear was not remote.
There are not ten but eight people passing by every day.
Why did he pick it up?
This is indeed weird!
"What you mean is that [Holy Light] is related to a certain faction within the church.
Or even a legacy of a certain faction? "
Philip scratched his mouse-like head with his paws and replied:
“I don’t know the specifics, but I do know some secrets about the Holy Spear and how to use it.
I saw that your way of using the holy spear was very rough. Didn't the previous successor teach you [Spear Fighting Technique]? "
"Gun fighting skills? What is that? Also, I picked up the holy spear, and no one taught me how to use it."
"Picked it up!?"
Phillip was shocked: "Can you still pick up sacred objects? Wherever you can pick them up, I will pick them up too!"
Nok scratched his face in embarrassment and said, "I did pick it up. I picked it up on the road when I was a child."
Phillip's whole body was so numb that he forgot to hide anymore and flew out from behind the door frame.
"Are you sure you're not kidding? That's a sacred weapon! Damn it!
If my vampire physique hadn't been recognized by the Holy Spear, I would have almost become the heir of the Holy Spear!
What others long for but cannot have, you actually pick it up later?
Are you the illegitimate son of the Holy Lord? ! "
"Be careful! You are blaspheming the Holy Lord. Do you want to be purified by me with the Holy Light?"
Nok's face suddenly sank, and he looked coldly at the vampire bat hovering in front of him.
Little did Philip know that his words of "illegitimate son" touched Nok's inverse scale.
Looking at Nok's sudden change of expression, he felt danger.
"Bang!"
Philip appeared in human form, half-kneeling on the ground and praying.
"Sorry, sorry, I was just speaking out of turn.
Forgiving Lord, please forgive Philip for his unintentional mistake! Amen! "
Seeing that Philip could actually complete the prayer ceremony, shock flashed through Nok's eyes.
Although it has been speculated that this vampire may really have something to do with the church.
But I really saw with my own eyes that the other party was not killed by the Holy Lord from a distance because of his prayers.
That kind of shock cannot be experienced by guessing.
You must know that when you pray to the Holy Lord, the Holy Lord can sense it.
However, the Holy Master senses it, but may not respond to you.
It's like lying alone in a house with your eyes closed and meditating.
The sounds of flowers, birds, fish and insects came to my ears,
Humans may not pay attention to these voices.
But if a mosquito buzzes close to him, then humans will definitely swat the disgusting mosquito to death.
And the creatures of the evil camp pray to the gods of the order camp,
It's as disgusting as mosquitoes hanging around people.
The gods will definitely kill them with divine punishment.
But this vampire did it without being punished,
That shows that in the eyes of the Holy Lord, this vampire is also his believer!
Otherwise, there is only one possible explanation for the situation at hand.
The Holy Lord has fallen.
is it possible?
If the Holy Lord had fallen, the Holy Church would have been disbanded long ago!
Destroyed by other sects!
After all, other gods wouldn’t miss this opportunity!
Because the Holy Lord is not like other gods, he is a god that remains due to fate.
The Holy Lord took a mortal body and suppressed the ancient times. After killing gods and witches, he became a god in the sky.
What he brought with him was the entire Kingdom of God, the Twelve Apostles, the first generation of Holy Knights and the Angel Legion.
If the Holy Lords had fallen, the sleeping gods would have awakened long ago and launched a war of faith against the Holy Church.
If the Holy Lord has not fallen, it can only be because this vampire has been recognized by the Holy Lord!
After understanding this, Nok could no longer target him.
Besides, this vampire seems to know the secret of the Holy Spear.
If the secret of the Holy Spear can be extracted from him, Nok can prepare early.
To avoid being caught off guard when he comes to the Holy Court.
"I……"
Nok was about to open his mouth to speak when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound came from the lobby door.
"No! Those villagers are here! Damn it, I was so busy talking to you that I forgot about it.
Quick, come with me, let's get out of here, or wait for those villagers to break your seal and break in.
That’s trouble! "
Phillip's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly urged Nok to leave with him.
Nok looked at Phillip with a strange look on his face and asked, "Are you afraid of a mere ordinary person?
With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to kill them all, right? "
Phillip was stunned for a moment: "Kill...kill them all?"
"How is this possible!" Philip was shocked, "Those are innocent people! How can we do something to them!"
Nok looked speechlessly at this vampire who was born in darkness, but his heart was not dark at all.
He sighed heavily: "What do you call this senior who sucks...?"
"Philip, people call me Father Philip."
“Okay, Father Philip, I’m going to correct you a little bit.
Those people outside are followers of the evil god.
Although they are just ordinary people, as long as they are followers of the evil god, they all deserve to die!
The difference lies in whether they were killed on the spot by me, or whether they were burned to death on the stake. "
Knock's words completely shocked Phillip's outlook.
"Wait! How could they all be followers of the evil god? They were just bewitched and controlled by the evil god."
Philip defended the villagers.
Nok shook his head and said: "Based on the bones in the secret room, do you think this can be done by one person?
I don’t believe it. There are followers of the evil god in the village. So many people are missing. Facing the investigation by the Sheriff,
The villagers didn't think of anything. One or two people were missing and they said they didn't expect it. So many people are missing,
They were all passing through their village, would they have any suspicion?
Obviously, even if they don't know who the murderer is, they still have suspicions in their minds.
But if they cover up the murderer and fail to confess the murderer, then they themselves are already accomplices.
Now, they are still willing to fall and be bewitched by the evil god's clone,
What else is there to deserve pity for?
Philip, you don’t think that a mere evil god clone can control so many villagers, do you?
If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself and see if they wake up instantly when facing death. "
Nok's words silenced Phillip.
Yes, how can an evil spirit clone whose main body has been eliminated control so many villagers?
Could it be that, as the young man said, the villagers deliberately disguised themselves and got involved?
What's in it for them?
Just when Phillip was about to waver, he suddenly caught a hint of joking on Nok's lips.
He suddenly realized that this damn kid was still testing him!
"You brat, you actually tried to bully me with your words. Well, watch me go out and kill them all.
Find out the evil spirit hiding among the crowd and destroy it! "
As he said that, he wanted to open the door to the lobby.
But as soon as his hand touched the doorknob, he was knocked away by the barrier on the door.
"Ouch! Damn it, I forgot that I don't have any divine power in my body now. I can't touch light magic."
Nok, who saw Phillip deflated, was about to lift the barrier when he suddenly heard Phillip's words,
Suddenly he was stunned.
"What light magic? Isn't it divine magic?"
Faced with Nok's question, Philip was also stunned.
"Divinity? Is this what the church calls light magic now?"
Nok nodded, and Phillip covered his forehead speechlessly.
So, he explained to Nok the difference between light magic and divine magic.
It turns out that not all of the "magical arts" of the Holy Church are magical.
Priests of the Holy Church can be held by ordinary people.
However, those who hold the priesthood must be those with a physique that is compatible with light elements.
People with affinity to the light element can practice light magic within the church.
Light magic is a classification system within the magic union.
But since most of the light element-friendly people have joined the Holy Church,
Therefore, light magic gradually declined within the magic union.
However, within the Holy Church, light magic and divine magic are still used to distinguish the relationship between the two.
Light magic can be learned and used as long as you have mana and meet the learning conditions.
But for divine magic, you must have firm faith, rely on the faith in your heart to pray to the Holy Lord, and get a response from the Holy Lord.
To be released.
Most of the clergy in the church are actually light mages.
Only a few people who can rely on faith to transcend levels and use divine magic are true saints.
Philip is not a light mage, he is a true saint.
What he cultivates is the divine power of faith, which can accommodate the power of light, but cannot create light energy.
This is why he can't use magic after he spent his divine power to seal the evil spirits.
Divine power is accumulated bit by bit through faith. It is not like mental power, which can be recovered after practicing.
After Nok finally understood the difference between the two, he finally understood why he could use divine magic beyond the previous level.
But not anymore.
It turns out that he has been traveling and practicing light magic, that is, light magic.
I also learned light spells.
The real magic, the magic that requires the power of faith, but because Nok didn't do his homework properly,
The divine power in his body has long been exhausted, and he only relies on occasional prayers to maintain the seeds of divine power.
“There was also internal strife within the church over whether to major in light magic or divine magic.
My teacher just didn't want to just practice light magic, so he lived here and built a small church to hide from the world.
Until he met me and I inherited his mantle and became a successor of divine magic.
He left happily.
Therefore, I know the difference between divine magic and light magic.
Almost all of what you used just now were light magic.
As for your Holy Spear lineage, it is said that you practice light and dark magic.
But because this kind of physique is so rare, if you don’t have this special physique,
If you only have a light element constitution or a dark element constitution, it will be easy to get confused.
However, it is said that there was a time when there were two heirs to the Holy Spear, one of whom used the [Holy Light].
One person used [Punishment], and the two were inseparable, so nothing went wrong.
But later on, I could never replicate the experience of those two beings.
Only each generation of Holy Spear heirs can find the next heir and teach them personally.
Even the Pope could not interfere.
So, if you don’t have a master, you can study with me for a while when things here are over.
Although I am not a user of the holy spear, I followed their former master,
Learned the [Gun Fighting Technique].
Although it is only the simplest way to use the holy spear, it can also increase your combat effectiveness several times.
Your rough tactics made me feel like the holy spear was about to scream. "
Faced with Philip's complaints, Nok didn't care at all.
"Okay, stop talking so much nonsense, a call is coming from outside. Are you ready?
Is there any battle plan? "
Nok changed the subject and asked Phillip.
Philip tugged at the worn-out divine robe on his body and said, "There is no battle plan. However, if you can hold people back,
I can rely on my familiarity with the monster to pick it out from the crowd.
Once it is dealt with as the culprit, the bewitched villagers should wake up. "
Hearing this, Nok nodded and said, "Okay. Leave the evil spirit to you and the villagers to me.
However, let me warn you, be careful of the villagers. Although I was testing you before.
But those words were not nonsense. Just one evil spirit clone cannot control so many people.
Unless they want to do that in their hearts, they will be framed by evil spirits and amplify their evil thoughts.
Then they are controlled by evil spirits.
But this kind of control is very weak, maybe a slap or a fist can wake them up.
If they pretend to beg for mercy and sneak up on you, your mentality will be very dangerous.
Seniors, times have changed, and so have people's hearts.
People nowadays only care about interests and don’t have much faith anymore. "
Nok dropped this sentence without saying another word, lifted the barrier on the door, opened the door and walked out.
When he arrived at the lobby, Nok saw the villagers who broke the window and climbed in.
And the crumbling door that is still trying to hold on.
"Hey, it seems I guessed it right, not everyone is controlled!"
Nok sneered and glanced at the person climbing in through the window.
All these people have in their hands are knives.
It seems that they are all here to kill people.
Those who are really being manipulated are still banging on the door stupidly.
It seems that an evil spirit is really powerless and cannot control so many people.
Otherwise, he wouldn't need these people to break down the door at all;
Instead, he followed those who were not under control and climbed in through the window.
Seeing Nok alive, the villagers who crawled in knew that this was the outsider.
Outsiders who want to steal their village's treasure.
It turns out that the reason why these greedy villagers were deceived was because
It was because they heard the rumors spread by the village chief Jon.
Those "treasure theories" that deceive foreign victims,
Coupled with the wealth of the village chief's family, they felt that they had discovered the truth.
But they did not dare to attack the village chief because he had helpers in the village.
Therefore, they had secretly joined forces in private and planned to dig out the wealth without telling the village chief.
Then fly away.
But they didn't expect that before they could implement their plan, the village chief summoned people to attack the outsiders.
Obviously, the village chief cannot resist the outsiders this time.
The village chief couldn't trick the outsiders, so he was worried, so he decided to let the whole village kill people together.
The law does not blame everyone!
In addition, the whole village participated, so there must be no informers.
Greedy people who think they are smart never realize that their greed has been infinitely magnified.
He didn't realize that his wife and children were controlled by evil spirits.
Thinking that everyone has the same thoughts as them, they deliberately pretend to be controlled by the devil.
In this way, if something goes wrong, it can be inferred that the collective is possessed by evil spirits.
No wonder the village chief is the village chief, he really has a solution.
Some people who felt the truth about themselves followed the manipulated villagers to the church.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, I found a stranger.
"Kill! Kill the foreigners! The treasures are all ours!"
Brother Sanjay shouted, waving the kitchen knife in his hand, and rushed towards Nok.
"Greed is the original sin. If you are obsessed with greed, it is difficult for the Lord to save you. I will grant you liberation."
Nok felt cold in his heart as he looked at these villagers who were conscious but harboring evil thoughts.
"Don't kill anyone!"
Feeling Nok's murderous intention, Philip rushed out and reminded him loudly.
However, Philip's words gave the perpetrator even more motivation.
"Hahaha, let's all come together, they don't dare to kill anyone!"
Knock was speechless for such a pig teammate like Philip.
How could he be so naive after traveling for thirty years?
It seemed that the vampire priest's decades of travel were in vain.
Nok did not draw his gun, feeling that the blood of such a person would stain his holy spear.
So Nok summoned the light spear.
With each hand, he directly knocked the villagers who rushed forward to the ground.
Instead of cutting off their weapons-holding hands,
Just stab them in the belly.
Anyway, keep alive, these are all alive.
Philip was speechless about Nok's actions, but he could do nothing about it.
After all, he had seen the ferocity of those villagers.
It's just that hundreds of years of slumber have made his mind a little confused.
But the smell of blood on the tip of his nose instantly reminded him of the turbulent years of more than two hundred years ago.
He is [Crying Blood Priest] Philip!
He roughly knocked the villagers who came up to him to the ground.
One punch kills a child, one kick kills an old man.
All in all, those who attack you must lie down.
He didn't kill them either, just like Nok, he just broke their hands and feet and let them wake up on the ground.
Anyway, with this young priest here, I am not afraid that no one will treat me afterwards.
Just like that, the two of them turned against the guests and went straight to the gate to kill.
boom!
Nok was so anxious that he kicked the door into pieces, knocking down a large number of villagers outside the door.
"Kid! This is my home! Please be polite, why are you tearing down my home?"
Nok shrugged and said: "Heh, do you think this church can be saved after all the commotion tonight?
Don’t forget, the kingdom will definitely send people to collect those bones in the church.
There are also local churches. You don’t want to run into those priests who don’t change their ways, do you?
It’s not like anyone who is as easy to talk to as me would still talk nonsense with you for a long time when I see you. "
When Phillip heard this, he thought so too!
He is a vampire, and there is only one result for being exposed under the eyes of the church.
Burned at the stake.
If we can't catch Dracula, the ancestor, then we can't catch Dracula, his descendant?
If you slap the church in the face twice, I’m afraid the church won’t be happy either, right?
"kill!"
In the crowd, Pinocchio, who possessed D'Artagnan, secretly gave the order.
The village chief, Jordan, rushed towards Nok with a knife and red eyes.
Behind him, his son Chopper looked at the crazy villagers with a blank expression.
I was so scared.
He originally had desires in his heart, but they were infinitely magnified.
That is smuggling d'Artagnan.
As a result, as soon as he got close to d'Artagnan, he was frightened away by the sight of the demon possessing d'Artagnan.
It also scared him awake.
Watching all the adults and children in the village rush towards the two strangers like crazy,
But two strangers are like devils,
Just raise your hand to "kill" a villager.
terrible.
Chopper's pants were all wet. Taking advantage of the chaos, he got into the weeds next to the church and hid.
The grass that hadn't been cleared in at least decades was enough to hide a brat like him.
However, he soon found someone who had the same idea.
Damn it, d'Artagnan actually hid too, not far in front of him.
Chopper didn't dare to say anything, he was afraid of attracting the idea of the devil holding the glowing spear.
The reason why Chopper regards Nok as a devil is because compared to Phillip punching a child,
Nok's two light spears would have turned into blood spears long ago if the energy had not been able to wash away the blood.
He stabs people whenever he sees them, regardless of whether they are really being controlled or pretending to be.
If you dare to get up after being stabbed, your hand and hamstrings will be severed.
After being injured, the conscious villagers did not dare to move anymore. They all lay down and pretended to be dead.
Otherwise, this murderous devil will definitely continue to attack them.
On the contrary, those villagers who were manipulated were not afraid of life and death.
This made Nok so upset that he broke the tendons of their hands and hamstrings.
Anyway, in the face of divine magic, these are not serious injuries.
At worst, he dragged Richelieu to play "Holy Light Salvation".
Anyway, after knowing that "Holy Light Redemption" is actually light magic, Nok no longer cares about its consumption.
It’s nothing that can be remedied through practice!
However, daily prayers and chanting should be supplemented in the future.
You have to practice magic, but you can’t lose the true magic!
Exorcism, prayer, and blessing are all related to faith.
It seems that when he returns to Reims Cathedral, he will have to grab it with both hands.
While handing over light magic to those students, we also need to find some devout students to practice real magic.
Nok felt that true magic was the foundation of the church.
He wanted to grow strong and climb to the top of the church,
It is definitely inseparable from real magic.
After all, if you can’t even communicate with the Holy Lord, how can you be the Pope!
Look, Nocto is very motivated.
Unlike some people who don't want to update after only ten hours of work.
Oh, not pursuing it.
"Hey kid, that guy isn't in the crowd!"
Philip suddenly shouted to Knock, who had red eyes.
Nok glared at Phillip with murderous eyes and said coldly: "My name is Ryan, not kid."
"Call me kid again and I'll hate you!"
hiss!
Facing the threat from Nok, Philip felt chilled.
This little thing doesn't seem to be joking.
Phillip said seriously: "That Ryan, I didn't find that guy."
"Really!" Nok glanced into the distance. When he was fighting just now, he found someone sneaking into the grass.
It's just that he was in a murderous mood at the time and had no intention of telling the truth.
"If he's not here, he's naturally hiding it. As for where he's hiding, why don't we compare, who can find him out first?"
Phillip looked at Nok in confusion. Is this the time to joke?
Just when he was confused, Nok raised the two spears in his hands and threw them towards the grass in the distance.
"Damn it!"
"Ouch! I'm dying!"
Two voices sounded at the same time, one full of resentment and the other full of fear.
