Chapter 715: The Elect
The uneven treehouses and round platforms of Sodenisra added a lot of trouble to the search. Almost every time Henry and his party encounter a fork in the road, they need to take out a map and carefully identify it, otherwise they can't determine which path is the right one.
There is no way, the road conditions in this city are too tricky, and all kinds of paths that grow naturally with tree vines lead in all directions, some are special roads cultivated by magic, and some are naturally grown, and no one knows where they lead except the elves themselves.
"Damn, we should have asked General Erhan for a guide in the first place."
Apodell gritted his teeth and whispered as he swept around the map and the fork in the road ahead with indignant eyes. As a warrior with a poor brain, he had long been dizzy by the endless paths, and now he felt dizzy at the sight of the map and the passages woven by the vines.
Kaidong carefully compared the markings on the map with the scene in front of him, and put forward his opinion: "I think it should be the middle one. You see, this is the house where you just got the stone slab, and this is the residence of the high priest Deming, and according to the location of the Moon House on the map, only this road looks the most like. ”
"It makes sense, then let's go over and have a look first, and then go back the way we came." As he spoke, Henry glanced at the silly Minsk and sighed helplessly.
Normally, the rangers in the squad are expected to take on a series of tasks such as tracking, checking maps, identifying directions, and spotting enemies, and in extremely harsh environments, they are also responsible for finding food, drinking water, and caves where they can take refuge, which can be summed up in a simple sentence. It's a survival expert + tracking master.
But Minsk's head has been broken ever since. In addition to retaining the ability to communicate with animals. The rest is almost gone.
He is now like a berserker and dodged like a ranger, basically encountering the enemy is not using the environment or bow and arrow to open the situation, but rushing up with a two-handed giant sword to fight to the death with the other party, completely training a profession of technical flow into a violent stream, what is even more speechless is that this guy has learned berserk without a teacher, it really makes people wonder if he chose the wrong one at the beginning, maybe the berserker is the profession that is really suitable for him.
Just as everyone was about to continue exploring, there was a sudden sound of fighting in front of them. This was followed by a high-pitched female shouting in Elven language, "Brute! You don't even spare innocent children! I'm fighting with you! ”
"Hahahaha! If you don't see it, this is the end of the rebellion. Lay down your arms, and I graciously allow you to become slaves. Your city is finished! It's better to be a slave than a dead man, isn't it? Another voice replied in a playful tone.
"Slave?! The people of Ririfinn will not give in to any enemy! Not even death! If Joan. If Irenikas could really rule this qiē, then his kingdom would only be full of death. Come on, brothers and sisters, and kill these evil creatures for the sake of the Queen! After saying this, the female elf shouted a battle cry, apparently intending to die with the enemy.
"For Queen Alistar!"
"For Sodenisla!"
"For the great Ririfin!"
……
There were shouts from about two dozen voices, followed by the sound of battle, and almost seconds later there was a scream. No doubt. These civilians are no match for the monsters and are being slaughtered in a brutal manner.
Filled with a sense of justice, Selly Love bit her lower lip tightly. Without saying a word, he ran desperately forward. She had seen too many atrocities along the way, and she was already furious at the moment, and she wanted to cleanse the city of all evil at once.
Henry keenly noticed the girl's slightly distorted expression, and hurriedly whispered to Kaidon, "Pay attention to Selie Love while fighting for a while, it seems that something is not quite right with her current feelings." ”
"Hey...... I know. Uncle Kaidong sighed slightly. Every paladin has to go through this sooner or later. Feel the guilt of being weak and unable to save innocent lives, and then begin to question whether you are wrong, why the gods have sent miracles, and why those evils can be so arrogant. There was a time when I was younger, confused, helpless, and sinking, until I regained my faith in Tom. Don't worry, I'll guide her on the right path. ”
"I hope so, I don't want to see a girl like her become a dark guard." Henry said worriedly. Although he didn't mind traveling with the Dark Guard, the identity of the paladin girl in front of him was a bit special, and she had a special mission, so she must not have any problems in her own team, otherwise it would be a real trouble.
A group of people followed the direction of the sound and soon came to the scene of the incident. The corpses of the wood elves were everywhere, and several evil beasts and ghosts were pointing at one of the last remaining elven girls, and from time to time they erupted into a burst of laughter.
The girl with long blond hair squatted helplessly on the ground, pulling the female elf with only her upper body left and sobbing in a low voice: "Woo woo woo...... Mom...... Mommy ......"
Seeing this scene in front of him, Henry's face immediately turned iron-blue, and his silver eyes kept bubbling cold, releasing a signal of extreme danger.
"We're late." Jasila said in a poignant tone the last thing everyone wanted to hear.
"No, it's not too late, at least make these murderers pay." As he spoke, Solaufen drew the two weapons at his waist and made an attacking gesture.
One of the most important teachings of the dark maiden Elistra is that when encountering evil that is malicious and hurtful, we should stop the violence as quickly as possible to prevent more innocent people from being harmed. If the evil has already caused irreparable consequences to the victim, then she allows the believer to avenge it.
It was clear that Solauphon was out of his quest to avenge the death of the Wood Elves.
"Although I never thought revenge was a good thing...... But today...... This moment...... I fully agree with your decision. Come on, let's send these monsters where they belong. Kaidong finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and raised the holy avenger with a golden light, "Kasomir".
This powerful weapon seems to feel the heart of the wielder as well. As a result, it becomes particularly dazzling. As if to agree that this kind of behavior is just.
Selly Love, who had been silent since hearing the screams, suddenly raised her sword and shield and shouted, "Tyre! Please grant me the power to destroy these evils. ”
As soon as the words fell. A divine white light fell from the sky and fell on her body without a single mistake.
"It's ...... Divine Grace ?!! The well-informed Jasila asked in a slightly trembling tone.
Henry nodded with a stern expression: "That's right, it's divine grace." I really didn't expect that Selleph would be the chosen one of the righteous gods, no wonder she would be assigned to the main plane to carry out such an important task. ”
Know that not all gods' chosen people are like the goddess of magic, who will grant endless longevity and great power. Most of them will only get one or two supernatural powers, and they have a relatively high position in the church system, in addition to being able to ask the gods some questions at any time, and they are not much better than other professions of the same level.
So how do you distinguish between a person and a person who is the chosen person of the gods in whom he believes?
Actually, most of the time it's very simple. First of all, God will announce His agents in the Lord's plane at any time, so just keep an eye on the news in each church to know most of them.
Of course, there are also many gods who like to be private, such as the Lost Lady Shar, who always claims to have only one voter, but in fact only he knows how much, and even the voters themselves do not know, which shows how well secrecy is done.
In such cases, it is necessary to carefully observe whether the person is closely connected to the gods and whether the belief is religious. The gods are not quick to respond to prayers.
Generally speaking, people like Selleph who can attract divine grace are undoubtedly among the elect. Even if it is not certain for the time being, it must be one of the candidates.
However, these are ordinary cases, and there are other situations that are much more special. Don't assume that the elect will be deferential to the gods he serves, and some of them are not only extremely unreligious, but also dare to do something to the gods.
To cite one of the most well-known examples, Keller, one of the chosen people of the god of thieves, Meske, was a true unbeliever, and in his eyes Meske was not even as good as his friends. This guy once threatened the Lord of Shadows with divine magic to resurrect his friends, or else kill every other priest.
If you think this is the worst thing he's ever done, you're very wrong. When Maisk descended on the mortal world, Keller not only stabbed the god he served, broke the bridge of the opponent's nose by the way, and finally sold what he had promised to the Lord of Shadows to the Great Devil of Hell.
Such a crazy person, it is estimated that even the gods of Seal City are beyond the reach of the non-god society. It's hard to imagine that as a god, Meske can put up with the voters treating him like this, and he has endured it for so many years, completely being eaten to death by Keller, even if the other party repeatedly uses threats to obtain divine magic, it does not reduce his favor in the slightest.
In the continent of Feren, voters with such an attitude are not the only ones, but they are not as bad as Keller. Many times the gods have to go and negotiate with their constituents, promising them what benefits they will get when they do it, so that they can be motivated to die for themselves.
It can be seen that when dealing with mortals with very good abilities, many gods will put down their shelves and talk about the conditions like a businessman. Some of the elect see the gods as tools to be used, often working in partnership with several gods in order to jump among them and gain more power.
As a teenage girl, Selly Leph is clearly still a junior voter, and perhaps the god of justice, Tyre, is cultivating and honing her, which is why she is left alone on the main plane with complex circumstances. Either way, at least don't worry about the fall. Because it is impossible for Tyre to put his voters on the point of no return, or his reputation will be completely ruined.
Imagine what would happen to the gods of the evil camp when they learned that the chosen people of the God of Justice had fallen into dark guards.
I'm afraid the biggest possibility is to laugh to death, and then let his subordinates vigorously promote it, although it will not shake the foundation of the faith, but it will definitely be disgraced, so Tyre will never allow this kind of thing to happen. (To be continued......)
