Chapter 439
"The monk has been sent for treatment. I checked his injuries and found that the wounds were severely decayed. It seemed to be caused by black magic or a curse."
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became quiet.
No one expected that such an accident would happen on the big day, and it felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on the already excited head.
Willard's expression remained unchanged: "Has the conjurer gone?"
"It's been arranged."
"Someone actually dares to kill believers near Holy City... Your Majesty, I'll go take a look."
Ophelia's voice also turned cold. Everyone looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, and all of them actually expressed their intention to go and see it together.
Rin also felt bad.
Today is the most important birthday of God, and it is also the ceremony for the canonization of his Son. When something like this happens, it is difficult not to think about the disciples who have died.
So Rin also went with Silly Roe Deer and the others.
However, by the time they arrived, the monk was dead.
The therapist treating him was now pale.
The body lying on the bed was stiff, and its body was strangely black.
Chapter 81 This system is getting weirder and weirder
Seeing the dead monk, the pope and the bishop first prayed silently for a while, and then asked about the situation.
The therapist's face was pale, and he bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and the distinguished Archbishop and Master, this believer himself is very difficult to cure, and his internal organs are almost completely rotten."
"We have been treating him on the way here, but neither holy water nor any magic has any effect on him."
"ah."
Elise exclaimed when she heard this. It was really unimaginable that in Holy City, the most advanced and powerful medical level, there was still a time when she was helpless.
You must know that although Holy City does not have a second holy healer, there are still many medicines and items that can be replaced. Normal serious injuries and diseases can be cured with even half a breath.
Ophelia comforted Elise and stepped forward to inspect the body on the bed. Others also gathered around.
The color and texture of the body looked like a reef, and a wound on the abdomen showed a dark green color. It had rotted three fingers wide and completely penetrated into the internal organs, making it look particularly ferocious.
When you look through the wound, you can find that half of the internal organs inside have also turned into dark green fluffy and sticky substances. It is extremely disgusting, but you can also feel the pain that the victim endured before.
Rin frowned; "Is there any skill that can cause this situation?"
The therapist thought hard for a while and shook his head: "Forgive me for being short-sighted. This is the first time I've seen him in my life."
The conjurer on the side also added: "It's not a curse, maybe it's some powerful black magic."
Ophelia nodded, carefully inspected the body again, took out the other party's belongings, and placed them on the table nearby.
The first is the holy belt that represents his identity. He does not need to wear it all the time. He must wear it during worship. The local priest basically wears it every day, and this monk is no exception.
There will be a number and year on the sacred belt, so you can check the place where he is responsible for preaching.
Normally, there will also be a work manual, whether it is worshiping or going to other places to preach, or going to churches in other areas to communicate with priests, it will be recorded in it.
According to regulations, this document also needs to be carried with you.
The strange thing is that this monk has nothing but his holy belt. He can even be said to be penniless.
Rin glanced at his finger. It was already dark and a little swollen. There was no trace of wearing a ring.
Storage equipment or not, it was weird to not bring a penny with me.
According to the number on his holy belt, it was found that he was serving as a priest in a small town more than 500 kilometers away from the Holy City in the Holy Empire.
It is not yet known when and how the attack occurred, and it remains to be investigated.
Fortunately, Holy City is already very well-defended today. People with unknown origins cannot enter the city, and even those without official duties cannot cross the Mass Bridge, so there won't be any big trouble.
Several archbishops discussed it and finally decided that Ophelia would be responsible for this matter, including following up the investigation and reviewing the information to determine the cause of death of the deceased.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him and that she couldn't help herself, Rin wanted to say goodbye and leave, but she walked out of the room when she suddenly thought of something and turned back with a slap on her head.
"I almost forgot, about the zero o'clock blessing last night... I seemed to feel power gathering into my body. I don't know what is going on?"
When Webster heard this, Lao Huai patted Lin on the shoulder happily.
"Sure enough, His Highness's devotion to the goddess is beyond doubt."
"Forehead……"
Rin was at a loss inside.
I don’t believe in goddesses either. Isn’t it nonsense to say that I am pious?
“Every year on God’s birthday, when believers pray together, the goddess feels our faith and will bless everyone, such as eliminating disasters, curing some diseases, and eliminating fatigue. The blessings will last for a period of time, ranging from seven days to as long as One month.
The firmer and purer your faith is, and the higher your position, the stronger the blessing you will receive, and ordinary believers will generally not notice it. When you reach our level, the feeling is very obvious,”
Willard also joined in: "I am an old man, so I can still regain the feeling of my prime after a period of time after receiving a blessing."
So it's just a temporary BUFF, nothing too special.
Rin figured out the doubts in his heart, and turned away without staying any longer.
He stayed in Shengdao City for a day, and everything was peaceful until the morning of January 3, when it was still light.
Rin inspected the army that was about to follow him.
There were not many people, only more than 1,200 people, but each of them was an elite.
This was the first time that Rin led so many people. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. Besides being nervous, he was more in high spirits.
More than a thousand people, equivalent to a standard regiment of an ordinary kingdom, the young man became the leader in the blink of an eye.
As for the political commissar Digadi, who was checking the appearance of the class with a stern face, it is better not to mention it.
Several archbishops stood by to see him off.
Webster looked at the time and said to Diga: "It's already six o'clock, let's set off early."
Diga frowned, pulled the clothes of a magician opposite him neatly, and stepped back two steps to the side of Rin.
"Your Highness, we can set off now."
Rin couldn't wait any longer, and said loudly: "Fellow believers... devout believers, let's say goodbye to the holy city and go to the battlefield together. May the holy light protect us!"
"May the holy light protect us!"
The expeditionary forces shouted together and got on their horses. The weaker magicians also specially prepared carriages, in addition to some supplies.
"Everyone, goodbye for now."
"Your Highness, Tiga, take care on the way." The people who saw him off saluted one after another.
Rin waved to the archbishops, got on the carriage, and led the team to set off in a mighty manner.
Rin, who got back into the carriage, was still excited and pulled the silly roe deer over.
"Roe deer, do I look like a general going to war?"
Iris nodded her little head desperately: "Little Rin is so handsome! So great!"
"Ride in a carriage, bring your family, and go to war?"
Emilia tilted her head, her tone calm.
Lin was immediately furious and grabbed Fei Miao's face: "Otherwise, stupid cat, you go down and ride a horse?"
"No, I won't." Fei Miao blinked, "You tsundere, what happened to that matter?"
"Xiao Lin, I'm also curious, why didn't I hear the follow-up?"
General Lin, who was originally still calm in commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to kill people everywhere, calmed down instantly, let go of Fei Miao's face, and touched his chin.
"I did ask once yesterday, but the investigation yielded no results. No one outside the city saw anyone assassinated or escaped that day. It was as if this monk was attacked out of nowhere."
"Woo, what a cunning criminal."
Rin lifted the curtain and said calmly: "No trace was left at all. This is the most bizarre thing. Fortunately, the pilgrims will soon disperse, and many clergy will stay to report, so there won't be a big mess."
The clergy, most of them are at least professional. At this time, a stone thrown casually on the street may be thrown by a 30th or 40th level nun or monk. If you want to cause trouble inside, you have to think twice.
"Since Ophelia is in charge, it should be investigated soon. Let's focus on the mirage of the dead city."
There are knights guarding both sides of the carriage. Knights A and B, who accompanied Lin to the haunted house last time, were specially selected by Lin as guards.
The main reason is that they are quite obedient.
Xiye still rode her horse closely to the side of the carriage, her high ponytail swaying in the wind, what a heroic female knight.
"My sister with fish lips, it's so cold outside, do you want to come in?"
Xiye pulled down her scarf and smiled at Lin: "It's okay, I don't feel cold, brother, please put down the curtain, be careful not to catch a cold."
Rin had to retract her head, patted Iris's butt, let her sit opposite, turned up the magic lamp, and leaned comfortably on the sofa with a book in her hand.
"Ding, young master, the system has been adjusted."
Qiuqiu's voice sounded, and Lin didn't react for a while: "Ah? What system?"
The next second he suddenly realized, and a strong look of contempt appeared on his face: "It's been so many days, and with this update speed, the grass on the grave is three feet high."
"Then do you want to listen to it, young master?"
"Okay, tell me, it's better to have it than not."
"To give back to high-quality customers and provide VIPs with the most intimate and personalized services, the system has now been fully upgraded to version 3.0.
The update content is as follows:
1. The reward mechanism maintains the original framework according to the host's requirements. Due to changes in the task program, some content will also change accordingly. The main content of the mechanism is as follows;
You can choose one of the three rewards for stimulating villain achievements, and the reward level will increase.
Repeated achievements get villain points The number will no longer be notified, the daily mall will be retained, the quality of items will be increased according to the host level, and there is a small probability of high-quality or lower-quality items.
2. Due to the overall change of the world line, all the original plot tasks are closed. All tasks in the future will be randomly released according to the progress of the event and the regional scope. The host can choose by himself.
3. Turn off the forced execution and the penalty mechanism.
4. The tasks will be divided into levels according to difficulty and time. After completion, you will get any items or skills randomly. The quality of the reward has nothing to do with the difficulty.
The system evaluates all the recent behaviors of the host and now issues rewards.
Congratulations to the host for achieving a major event in life. He was taken into the home by the heroine Iris, had children, and dedicated everything in his pocket for this.
To unlock the villain achievement "What's in the Bag", please select the achievement reward: 1. Skills, 2. Items, 3. Others. "
Rin didn't know why the achievement was in his pocket, but it didn't affect his joy of receiving the gift.
The day before the Son of God ceremony, he and the four of them, Iris and Xiye, opened the gifts at home and experienced the pleasure of opening the express delivery on a shopping spree day.
Rin also received a wind-cutting sword, which was sharp and light, just right for Feimiao.
According to the game, the requirements for wearing the equipment brought by the hero are reduced by buffs, and items within ten levels higher than her can be worn without worrying about the load of the magic ring.
Originally it was just a fine weapon, but now it has been upgraded to a silver weapon, which is a cause for celebration.
Rin's choice difficulty was entangled for a few seconds, and finally chose others. There was no rigid demand, so any choice was a gamble, so just choose a random ball.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the passive talent 'Son of the Forest'. You are more friendly to the wood element, and the plants like you."
"..."
Rin didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the time.
This skill really sounds high-end, and it can be given four stars anyway.
But the problem is, he is a fire magician, and he doesn't know wood magic at all. Even if he is given earth, wind, and thunder magic, he can use a little bit, but he has no water, ice, wood, light, or dark magic at all.
The only useful sentence is the last sentence, "Plants all like you", can it be that outdoor adventures can make me find fresher and more delicious ingredients?
While Lin was laughing and crying, the system spoke again.
"In addition, the host has become a husband, but he is still a scumbag who maintains super friendly relationships with many people. His original intention is worthy of learning and admiration from the villains.
To unlock the villain achievement "Looking for Cats and Foxes", please choose the achievement reward: 1. Skills, 2. Items, 3. Others."
"Choose items this time."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the item, "Magic Device Energy Ring". Wearing this ring on the magic device on weekdays can prevent the leakage of energy. A little bit accumulates into a lot, and it is like a torrent of steel after release. The ring is made of special skin-friendly materials and can be worn by magic devices of any size. You deserve it."
