Banner of the Evil God

The moon has set in the west, and the east is slightly white.

In the woods not far from Green Tree City, the sound of fighting was so continuous that it could be heard even near the city wall.

On the observation deck next to the city gate, a soldier wearing simple half-armor looked in the direction of the fighting, with some fascination in his eyes, but more of worry.

When gods fight, mortals suffer. Two churches are fighting over there. It is said that more than ten legendary strong men have come. If the fight really goes crazy, if the shot is slightly crooked, the aftermath will hit Green Tree City.

Of course, Green Tree City is protected by a magic circle, so it may not suffer much damage, but if the magic circle cannot hold up, he will definitely be the first to suffer misfortune.

"Oh! I'm so worried!"

"What are you worried about?" A friend under the observation deck heard his sigh and asked curiously, "You made your wife angry this morning and you don't have anything to eat at noon?"

"You don't have food to eat!" the sentry said angrily, "I'm just worried about what to do if there's a fight over there, and a sword energy or magic hits here?"

The sentry under the observation deck was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said, "There's nothing to worry about. If it really comes, there will be a magic circle to block it."

"What if the magic circle can't stop it?" asked the worried sentry, "If it can't be stopped, wouldn't we be the first to be unlucky?"

"If you can't stop it...then it's just bad luck." His friend said with a wry smile, but after thinking about it, his brows widened again, "Actually, there is nothing to be afraid of. The attack of the legendary strong man must be so big. It’s so powerful! We will definitely die in an instant and there will be no pain.”

"...Thank you for your comfort." The sentry on the observation deck laughed dryly, then turned his head and stared at the place where the fierce battle was taking place.

After a while, he said again: "Oh! If I am strong enough, then there is no need to worry."

"Isn't it too late to think about this now? If you had worked hard when you were young, you might have been very strong now." Their captain happened to be passing by. Hearing this, he snorted and said, "You are almost older than me." At ten years old, when I reach your age, I will probably reach the upper level, but look at you, you haven’t even reached the intermediate level!”

"If you didn't work hard when you were young, what's the use of sighing now?" The captain became more and more angry as he spoke, "Don't talk about when you were young, just now. You find excuses to run away every time you train... With your attitude, how can it be possible? Become a strong person?”

"I heard people say that someone picked up some treasure or ate some magical fruit and suddenly became a strong man..."

"Just take your time and daydream!" The captain shook his head and left without curiosity.

"Captain, wait!" The soldier patrolling under the observation tower caught up and asked about the topic just now.

After listening to his inquiry, the captain pondered for a moment and said: "Your worries are unnecessary. No matter how powerful the legendary powerhouse is, it is not wasted. In the battle, they must use every ounce of power. To defeat the enemy, if you fail, you will most likely lose your life. What you are worried about, "the aftermath of the battle will hit here and destroy the magic circle protecting Green Tree City" is pure fantasy. "

The sentry felt relieved, saluted, and hurried away.

After he walked away, the captain frowned and stared at the direction where the fighting sound came from. After a long time, he turned around again. After walking for a while, I came to a house that was not spacious but was neatly kept.

"Teacher, are you there?" He knocked on the door and asked.

The ajar door opened, and a bald old man with completely white eyebrows and beard, and a stooped back came out. His face was full of wrinkles, but he couldn't hide the ferocious look. When he was young, he must have been a Fierce people. But the kindness in his brows and the way the neighbors smiled and greeted him after seeing him proved that he was very popular and not a bad guy at all.

The patrol leader saluted and asked: "There are two churches dueling outside the city. It is said that there are more than a dozen legendary strong men fighting together. I am a little worried and want to go and take a look. Do you think it is okay?"

This bald old man can be regarded as a legendary figure in Green Tree City. He was an ordinary thug back then. Later, he got a chance encounter and changed his ways. He has done many good deeds and received the gift of the God of Justice. Now he is one of the few high-level strongmen in the city. one of those.

He has been wandering around for many years and is well-informed, so when the patrol leader is worried, he naturally comes to him to ask questions.

"Which two churches?" the bald old man asked.

"The Church of the Great Educator (the God of Knowledge) and the Church of the Noble Lady (the God of Nobility)."

"Then don't worry." The old man said, "The great educator is a kind god, and the noble lady is a lawful god. Their followers will not attack towns and kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"...Didn't you tell me before that the camp is very reliable?"

"That's true if there are few people. If there is only one person, good people may do evil, and chaotic people may obey order. But the more people there are, the less likely it is to behave contrary to the camp." The old man said with a smile, "Two With so many people in this church gathering together, if they do something inappropriate, they will look bad on their own face, so you don’t have to worry at all. It is said that the strong ones value their face much more than our lives. ”

The patrol leader was silent for a while, sighed, and said, "It would be great if I could also become a legendary strongman!"

"That's not easy, at least in our Mystic Tower Federation, it's not easy." The bald old man also sighed and said, "On our side, only people with good backgrounds can get enough resources and have the opportunity to learn those advanced knowledge and skills. You have good talents and work hard, but these alone are not enough after all."

"Then what should I do?" asked the patrol captain.

The bald old man thought for a long time, pulled the student into the house, and whispered: "If you really want to become stronger, go to the Northwest Republic and find the people of the Void Mask Church."

"Find them? What's the point of finding them?"

"More than 30 years ago, I was still a useless thug. I accidentally met His Majesty the Void Mask. I was enlightened by Him and changed my ways... Over the years, I have asked myself if I have walked straight and upright, and have lived up to His teachings. You go there, pray to Him, thank Him for me, and ask to join His church... You should have learned something. Those profound skills. "

The patrol captain was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "Teacher, have you met His Majesty the Void Mask in the past?"

"Yes, I have not only met Him, but also the 'King of the Seaside' Leon Igor and the 'Medical Master' Steele Gelten. "The bald old man thought of the past and couldn't help but smile, "There were actually four people who received guidance in the past, but in the end, only I really got on the right path... No matter what, I should go to say thank you. It's a pity that I'm old and can't walk far..."

The patrol captain understood and nodded repeatedly.

The next morning, he, who had resigned from his position, carried his luggage on his back, rode a horse, said goodbye to his teacher, and hurried out the door, heading towards the direction of the Supreme Tower.

To go to the Northwest Republic, of course, it is more appropriate to use the portal of the Supreme Tower.

And until this time, the sound of fierce fighting from the woods outside the city was still continuing, with no sign of calming down...
