Chapter Twenty-Five: The Seven Gods of the Terran Race
A naked, shirtless black-haired man with a silver sword stood in the middle of a tattered street with no good bricks.
At the end of the battle, the elements and magic that had been fluctuating due to the battle between Joshua and Moze had gradually calmed down, and the smoke and dust had already drifted away, and under the induction of the warriors, not even a single person dared to watch within a few hundred meters around, whether it was the local residents or the private soldiers of the Wilson family.
With a bright but not dazzling glow of magic, the silver greatsword transformed into a silver-haired and green-eyed girl, she looked a little dazed, with an expression of who I am, where this is, and what to eat for dinner.
"The host...... That's it? β
"That's right." Joshua nodded dryly: "Whether it is the uncle who plans to rob me of my title, or the golden warrior of the Wilson family who is planning this matter behind his back, I have completely solved it!" β
He looked very cheerful, and even talked more than ever: "I know, there must be a lot of plans, a lot of conspiracies, a lot of back-ups, and a lot of countermeasures behind the establishment of the puppet earl - but fuck it! β
Looking sideways at the corpse of the deadly silver-haired golden warrior, Joshua said disdainfully: "They think they are smart, but in fact they are still too superficial, I slaughtered them all, what's the use of planning and conspiracy?" A bunch of retards! β
"No, master...... I don't really understand intrigue and stuff...... I mean, it only took two minutes to finish, isn't it too fast? β
The silver-haired god machine shook her head firmly, she really didn't understand this kind of thing, Hotaru just stared at Joshua with a belligerent expression of desire and dissatisfaction: "I've waited so long, and you only fight for two minutes?" β
"Huh?"
"I've waited so long!"
ββ¦β¦ I have to say, Hotaru, thanks to you this time. Joshua's tone returned to its original low and serious tone: "Without you, the power of glory in the face of the enemy this time would be very passive, and I don't have any equipment on my body that can block the wind, and the outcome of the battle with Mo Ze is still difficult to predict." β
"Yes...... Is it? The silver-haired girl seemed to be a little surprised when she heard the compliment for the first time.
"Of course!" Joshua gave a definite affirmation.
Hearing such an affirmative reply, Hotaru immediately subconsciously replied, "It is my glory to fight for the Lord!" β
Then, the corners of Miss Shenji's mouth curled slightly, and she looked like she wanted to laugh but was forcibly reserved, and happily followed behind Joshua.
οΌβ¦β¦ That's fine. οΌ
Nodding, after Joshua got his weapon, he didn't stop where he was, he looked around, and after determining the direction, he immediately set off: "Let's go to the church next, we have to be fast." β
"Ring the bell to inform the people?"
"No, cure my hand."
This is indeed a very serious matter, because the skill of [Anger] can suppress eighty percent of the pain and greatly increase the user's strength, so Joshua does not feel how much pain his left hand is almost flesh at present, but he knows that when the effect of the skill wears off and the adrenal hormones are no longer secreted, the sudden pain is enough to make the Predator break out in a cold sweat and collapse.
Although he couldn't bear it, why suffer this sin?
Hotaru naturally didn't raise any objections, so the two of them walked quickly towards the cathedral not far away.
Cathedral of St. Lauren.
The seven gods of the human race are the gods of power and justice, love and decay, order and destruction, law and freedom, protection and transformation, technology and conspiracy, and the main god of life.
The Seven Gods are not high or low in rank, but in the sacrificial ceremony, they have always been dominated by the God of Life, and the reason for this is unknown to anyone, and there are many players who have studied and speculated, but none of them have a clear answer.
The seven gods have no real names, no images, no statues, frescoes, or even paintings, only symbols of the gods, and they basically do not move at all, except for answering and responding to people's prayers, as if they do not exist in this world.
But Joshua knew that it wouldn't be long before the God of Justice, one of the Seven Gods, would join forces with the Metal Dragon God to knock down the five-colored Dragon God from the barrier of order, knocking it down from the boundless heavenly realm outside the world, and opening the prelude to the Great Demon Tide before it came, a world-class epic event [Crazy Dragon Calamity].
Now, towering before the warriors is the largest meeting place of the Church of the God of Justice in the Northland, the Cathedral of St. Lauren, named after His First Saint, with its black ring-shaped emblem hanging high above the top of the bell tower, glittering with a dim light.
In front of the doorstep there is a huge stone tablet with an inscription:
[Righteousness without light needs to be proclaimed by force.] γ
It sounds very serious, but in fact, it is the same thing, after all, it is a church with a common face, and no matter how serious it is on the outside, it must be close to the people, Joshua turned his head to look at the other side, where there was another stone tablet:
[Monday to Friday, closed in the morning, chant in the afternoon, doctrinal lecture in the evening]
[Saturday afternoon dinner, Sunday morning prayer, afternoon meeting]
There is also a line of small print below: [Bring your own tableware]
After all, it's a church, and you can't be too demanding in terms of seriousness, Joshua still remembers that when she was a child, she often came here to listen to sacred music, and the old priest here was quite familiar with him, and he didn't know if others were still there, and he didn't recognize himself.
Stepping over the stairs and coming to the door, the door of the church was closed, and once the thick wooden door made of fine stone and wood was closed, no sound could penetrate it, and it was also the fault of his dead cheap uncle, since the masses were afraid to go out, why was the church open when no one came to gather and pray? They could only close their doors and refuse customers, and gave Danlia and Wilson's family ten guts, and did not dare to do anything to the church with the holy name.
Simple shouting was definitely useless, and in desperation, Joshua had no choice but to use his fighting spirit and knock heavily on the door.
The red light touched the gray-brown faΓ§ade, and suddenly a milky white light rose, this light flickered endlessly, like a lake that had fallen on a small stone, and it didn't take long for the stone and wood doors of the church to slowly open little by little, and behind the door were a combination of four knight cathars and two silver priests who were waiting for them.
"St. Lauren's Church is not welcoming believers at the moment."
The first knight said indifferently.
"Nor do they welcome worshippers."
Another knight said.
"Whatever your purpose, please...... No, you are? β
Before he finished the customary lines, the third knight who spoke was stunned for a moment, and then said hesitantly to his companions: "Wait everyone, this one seems to be the heir of the lord of our territory." β
And Joshua, who was about to be relieved of the anger and the severe pain that had begun to spread in his arm, sighed and said helplessly, "That's right, it's me." β
