Diablo Destruction

Chapter 232 Why fear?

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 30 years to more than 100 years, and the population of the Dark Continent has increased from tens of millions to tens of billions at its peak.

Of course, with the increase in life span and population, humans in the Dark Continent are also constantly developing in medical and other aspects, just like now. Even if the priests have been completely extinct, the life span of ordinary people can still be maintained at more than a hundred years, but it is undeniable that the key to promoting the prosperity of the entire Dark Continent is the priests. Without their appearance, some boring histories Experts estimate that it will take at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years for humans to achieve the effect in that thousand years.

so. 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 civilizational developments and new things, but their status remains unshakable. Every pope in the Holy See will He must be the most outstanding priest. In the minds of the common people, the priest is the spokesperson of God. This is not difficult to see from the many chivalric novels handed down in ancient times - almost every protagonist. There is such a loyal, reliable, hard-working pastor partner who silently supports him behind the scenes.

If the priest character is a male, then he must be gentle, wise and calm, and he is the protagonist's most important brother or elder. If she is a woman, 99.999% of the time... she has a gentle and gentle personality, a kind heart, and is young and beautiful. Most of the identities are the protagonist's childhood sweetheart, or the protagonist's adopted sister, or they may be a confused girl they met by chance on the journey to defeat the devil in order to save the princess (and then burst out with infinite power at the moment when the protagonist's life and death were critical - " It turns out that her true identity is actually the granddaughter of the Pope, the daughter of a certain superpower king who has been missing for many years and is the reincarnation of the Seraphim. She is one of the lovers who is second only to the princess in the protagonist's mind... …

In other words, you can hear it by reading the book, but the level of YY in Dark Continent should not be underestimated.

Closer to home, it is precisely because priests had an otherworldly status in ancient times that they are still worshiped by 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. Under the constant fear and the resurgence of disease, the importance of priests has Sex seemed to be on the rise again.

Therefore, in the following conversation, businessmen A and B actually gave the pastor they were talking about, that is, me, no less than Sister Sharna. This quite surprised me. In fact, I dressed up as a priest mainly to calm the hesitation accumulated in my heart due to frequent killings.

And there was another identity that they had brushed aside. In fact, he just put on 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 mentioned, it was indeed me who got there. As I said before, I have killed thousands of people on my hands 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 deserts. Just a robber.

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, they never left anyone alive except beautiful women.

These desert bandits had already targeted the large business group stationed in the oasis and had been following them for a long time. They finally took action here. I thought there should be a traitor to the robbers here, but he never expected that I would join in the fun and rush over just before the attack. Not to mention that the traitor didn't know my strength, and even if he knew, he wouldn't have time to notify me, so , the next situation can be expected...

What, wipe out all the horse thieves. How is it possible? I'm just kidding. Although I don't take these thousands of bandits seriously, I often experience this situation in Rogge Camp - a person rushes into thousands of super-large robbers in a daze. Inside the Sinking Devil camp... In terms of pure combat power, thousands of bandits may not be as good as thousands of Sinking Devils.

Due to the huge number, there is no way I can 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 goods, 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. Therefore, after I killed hundreds of bandits like a flock of sheep, they ran away as soon as they shouted. They knew the environment here very well. In addition, the sky was dark and strong winds were about to rise, so even if I dispatched Xiaoxue and Lazy Crow, I still couldn't track them.

When things have reached this point, according to the normal development, it is estimated that the desert bandits will suffer a small loss and continue to do evil after a period of training. However, accidents are always inevitable, and I never expected it. In this oasis, there is a person, a rather special person, an old man with a weird temper, moodiness, and distrust of anyone. Speaking of which, everyone can probably guess who he is. That's right. It's the strange old man Lysander I met last time when I was wandering around Adventurer's Land.

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 he will not accept me as a disciple or give me secret books. In fact, This kind of cheap trust value can only allow me to purchase scarce items such as antidote potions from him first.

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 I bought a tattered two-handed sword and at the same time defrauded me of a gold-level priest's book. The old liar Aigis, who was tied with each other (how weird), actually has a very dark history - he Before Jinpen washed his hands, 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 will naturally break out in women when they reach a certain period. What are you thinking? I mean, motherhood is good, right?

——I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel that the boring sense of justice and compassion 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 become more and more evil when they travel to another world. And lust, life is also prosperous, I have developed in the opposite direction, is my future 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 His love burst out again, forget it, since he can solve it alone, 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. Poisonous Flower Vine and Xiaoxue and I sneaked inside and started a ruthless massacre. In this battle, we killed a total of 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? 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.
