Chapter 317 The Priest's Visit

When the fire filled the spiral staircase and shone upward, the defenders on the second floor of the castle saw the evil creatures retreating in panic.

These beasts that had degenerated from humans suddenly understood what fear was, which boosted the morale of the defenders. They knew that this was a victory for the helpers on the first floor.

"The demon warlock is so convenient." Scarecrow Hohomer sighed to his subordinates.

The new king completed his superficial military obligations and demonstrated his ability, which gave him more confidence in what would happen next.

He glanced at the farmers not far away. The plainsmen also relaxed. They sat or squatted, wiping their weapons with the cloth they could find. There was almost no death in the fairyland, but the psychological pressure still existed. No one could adapt to fighting all the time, not to mention that they were fighting against the people they had always feared in the past.

No one could have imagined that the power of the demons could be so powerful in the fairyland.

In the outside world, Edwards was just a guy that any of them could deal with by sending two teams of ten people, but in the fairyland, he could control the life and death of thousands of people.

"Short-sighted guys."

A dwarf elder next to Hohomer commented on the farmers. The scarecrow looked over in confusion, and the elder covered his mouth with his hand and whispered to him: "Gold."

Yes, the people Edwards sent to retake the castle were the former citizens of this place. The raw materials of their jewelry once belonged to the Dinnon people. Later, these gold and silver jewelry were taken away by the dwarves as spoils of war and recast. When they were conquered, they were stolen by Edwards and rewarded to those who obeyed his playthings.

Now it's time to take them back.

The enemies attacking the second floor are mostly evil creatures, but there are also some human enemies who climbed up the ladder and came here. The gold and silver they carried are still on their broken bodies.

The elder reminded Hohoma, and the steadiness on his face was instantly covered by greed.

He and several elders secretly ordered several people to retrieve the gold and silver from the "corpse", and before they gave the order, there were already dwarves hiding beside the corpse to look for jewelry with their height advantage.

"This is our good guy." Seeing them plundering gold and silver, the oldest elder couldn't help but show a look of relief.

The life span of these old people and young people after arriving in the fairyland is getting closer and closer to one to one, but they still think that they are still elders, so they should not do it themselves, but let the young people do these things, and those "young people" are happy to do so.

Hohoma looked at Emperor Jetali, who happened to look at him, and the two people's eyes rubbed in the air.

"Those who fail will always fail." Hohoma said in his heart.

As the elder said, Jetali and his men are a group of short-sighted guys.

As the adjutant said, Hohoma is a short-sighted guy.

Emperor Jetali sat on a corpse, thinking so in his heart, he looked at Hohoma, who happened to look at him, and the two people's eyes rubbed in the air.

When the two sides were not far apart, the dwarves' self-proclaimed secret actions could not be concealed at all, and the plains people could clearly see them rummaging through the gold and silver on the corpse.

Admittedly, they also had the urge to take back the cursed gold and silver in their hearts, and they would not hesitate to fight these dwarves again, but they already had a potential military ally, so there was no need to initiate a direct conflict immediately.

These dwarves are just helping them by collecting gold and silver. When the new king launches an attack, these gold and silver will change hands.

So he is not in a hurry.

Those guys among the Dinon who really cannot accept fighting side by side with the dwarves are arranged to the east side of the first floor of the castle, separated from the dwarves by other plainsmen under Basham. They were once living sacrifices in the open-air sacrificial field, and their long-term painful experience has destroyed their sanity.

The sediments of the human heart released by Edwards cannot repair the human heart. Although they have woken up again, they are still full of hatred. The relationship with the dwarves is fixed at the last moment of waking up last time. It seems that they are alive for this hatred. They can obey orders only because there is nothing else to do for the time being. Even Emperor Jetali himself has no confidence in directing them to live in harmony with the dwarves-some of them can't even recognize their past colleagues.

Thinking of this, Jetali felt a little regretful. He originally noticed that the Basham army guarding this country was shrinking, and thought this was an opportunity to rescue his past compatriots, but he didn't expect to encounter Edwards punishing the rebellion.

Although the fairyland is vast and boundless, this country is not without a reputation. The dwarves used the strange objects they created here to trade with the dark race and other human countries, and they also have a large number of troops.

Edwards was able to occupy this place thanks to his familiars. For some reason, the power of demons is several times stronger in the fairyland.

If there were no wild demons here, Jetali would probably think this was hell.

Fortunately, the fairyland does have means to kill people.

"Excuse me, do you have time now?" A naked man wearing only the skin of the evil creature walked to his side.

When Louis appeared in front of Clayton and Donna, he had some new information to share with them.

The first is that the farmers are not trustworthy.

The second is that the fairyland has more than one influence on people.

Third, Edwards' next attack will be very crazy.

Clayton sat behind the noisy front line. He pinched the dense cracks on his body with his nails one by one to speed up their healing: "Don't worry, I haven't given them trust. The current cooperation is just a transaction, not mixed with personal feelings."

"As for the second thing, how did you learn about it?" he asked the priest loudly, otherwise the latter might not hear clearly.

The sound of fighting around him did not affect Louis. He just sat down next to the werewolf calmly: "I have communicated with these people one after another. These people actually do not want to return to the living world. Even those Dinons, they actually feel that There is no appeal in returning to this world.”

He spoke in an understatement, as if it was not difficult to get strangers to reveal their true feelings to him.

Donna couldn't help but give Louis her admiring look - the number of guys who dared to talk while naked increased.

Lewis' answer made Clayton frown: "Don't they want revenge?"

Emperor Jetali was betrayed by his wife and son and became the caretaker of Dinon's wealth, and the others were exiled here because they were loyal to him. Even though many years have passed in this world and the enemy has died, They should also be curious about their descendants.

"Unfortunately, the present world actually has no attraction for them. It's just that the Dinon Restoration Congress made a deal with them." Lewis paused: "And Emperor Jetali has the idea of ​​going back on his word. I can see that he doesn't want to Breaking the current way of life, just like Scarecrow and Basham, they just want to stay here and wait until Edwards is sealed to occupy it again. "

"I think this is good, don't you think so?"

"Yeah, I don't think so."

Lewis looked around and saw that the formation of soldiers could continue to fight against the beast without Clayton's continued command, and no one was paying attention here, so he grabbed the werewolf's wrist and pulled him aside, and Donna followed. past.

When they walked to the corner, Louis spoke: "Don't you think their minds are a little shallow? I'm not saying that they are out of the ordinary. In fact, their thoughts are very reasonable, but for people who are hundreds of years old, In other words, their thinking is a bit naive.”

Because of the existence of miracles, there are many long-lived people in the church. Their age is incomparable with the immortals in fairyland. They are just over a hundred years old. But compared with them, whether they are the miners or the Basham and Dinon people, They all appear anxious and have ardent desires. They are as aggressive as young people and have no patience in doing things. It seems that time has not given these people in the fairyland the stable character and strong will that they do in this world.

In this regard, Clayton actually discovered the abnormality of these people, but he did not think it was something worth pondering.

"Maybe because of the devil, Edwards has been devouring the emotions of these people, and the process for hundreds of years is enough to damage their brains."

Lewis shook his head: "Edwards was also affected. I think everyone's souls are contaminated."

The spirit in the priesthood and the spirit in the wizard's mouth are not the same thing. The "spirit" identified by the wizard is actually a part of the self that is difficult to define, and has a similar meaning to the "soul". The "spirit" in Baijiao's language is equivalent to human beings' ability to receive the grace of the Father, and is more similar to a non-entity organ. This organ is born with many holes, and only virtue and precepts can fill it.

And the more complete it is, the more power humans receive from the Father, so the way believers try to master miracles is also called spiritual practice.

Clayton and Donna are both relatives of the former priest Tritis, so they have heard of this knowledge and can understand what Lewis means.

Clayton looked at the priesthood seriously: "This is very similar to the consequences of the Black Mass."

A properly functioning Black Mass contaminates the spirit of the participant, so that the participant is unable to advance to the depths of the mystical realms.

"I don't think so. Their effect is exactly the opposite. The Black Mass will take away part of the caster, and here." The priest was silent for a moment before throwing out his speculation: "I think the effect here is to make our lives The way things work remains the same, including the way we think.”

Compared with the loss of emotions, it is more terrifying to stop changing thoughts.

This means that these residents of Wonderland have become dolls of no possibility.

On the surface, they still have desires and can promote the development of things, but in fact everything is doomed, they are just gears rotating according to the trajectory.

Clayton had not heard such a terrifying ghost story for a long time. Fortunately, the werewolf's expression could not be recognized by ordinary people, which prevented him from losing his temper in public.

And Louis was quick to add relaxing additions.

"This inference may not be correct, it is just a possibility. Moreover, we have not been in Wonderland for a long time, so we should not be affected yet, but if we continue to stay, we may be affected unknowingly."

"In addition." He sighed: "There is a third thing. Edwards will definitely find a way to get rid of us as soon as possible. Because a big shot who is his enemy may sense the emptiness of this country at any time and attack us. Come here. He will do whatever it takes to avoid this."

"A big shot in Wonderland?" Donna asked in surprise.

Lewis nodded: "Well, he is called the Blood Lord by Bassem, and he is one of the very few beings in Wonderland who can grant death to others."

Clayton raised his paw and rubbed his eyebrows: "It seems we'd better get rid of Edwards before he appears."

He did not regard this mysterious man as an ally against Edwards. In a strange place like Wonderland, any surprises should be avoided as much as possible.

"I'll try harder." He began to think of a plan for active attack.
