Hunter starting from Hunter World

There is no doubt that the arrival of the Holy Light Church mission has injected a bit of vitality into this already declining city.

Especially those more intelligent and sensitive clergymen immediately thought of the unusual behavior and actions of the bishops in recent times, and also realized that this might be an opportunity for themselves.

After all, if the two churches really merge, the Holy City will inevitably get rid of its previous state of lying in wait for death.

It may even rise again due to its special geographical location in the center.

The only question is, how much benefits can a church that is half-dead on its own side gain from negotiations?

Of course, there are those who agree and those who oppose it.

Some radical guys always feel that the Holy City has turned into the horrible state it is in now, all because of the fault of the Holy Light Church.

They began to secretly collude with officers and soldiers, planning to stage an "uprising" to directly assassinate Arturia and her entourage, and also kill all the high-level capitulation bishops.

As the sun slowly sets from the horizon, darkness falls once again, and the entire Holy City of Labona becomes undercurrent.

Plus those demons and awakened ones hidden among the ruins and ordinary people...

This originally lifeless city suddenly became extremely lively.

Even people like Claire, who didn't care much about changes in the outside world, felt a strange atmosphere.

However, as a great sword who came to kill demons, she did not forget her mission and responsibilities, and soon left the hotel to try to contact the church's client in order to obtain first-hand information.

As for Lackey and Allen, they were left in a hotel room.

The reason why Lackey stayed was because he didn't have any fighting ability at the moment, and having him around was just a burden.

And Allen was purely because Claire found him annoying and hateful, and she didn't want to have such a guy around who could cause trouble for her at any time.

But what Claire never expected was that not long after her front foot left, Allen took Lackey out of the hotel and went to a place specializing in special services a few streets away.

Looking at the scantily clad "big sisters" at the door with eyes that seemed to eat him alive, Lackey instantly became extremely nervous and begged in a low voice: "Mr. Allen, I think we should go back. Otherwise, Claire will find out. if……"

"What are you afraid of! Did she ever say that we are not allowed to come to a place like this? What's more, she is not your relative or elder, so what qualifications does she have to teach you a lesson?" Allen asked nonchalantly.

"But...but..."

Lackey hesitated for a long time, but finally gave up the argument and followed behind with his head hanging down.

Obviously, although he knew that there were problems with what Allen said, he didn't know how to refute it.

"It's nothing! Don't forget, you are a man. Men should tell the truth. Whatever you want or desire, just say it openly, and then get it in the way you think is right. Don't be coy and coy with a shy little boy. Just like girls, that will only make people feel hypocritical and weak." Allen patted the boy's shoulder hard and scolded.

After a few days of getting along with him, he finally understood why Lackey, the "male protagonist" in Big Sword, was always nicknamed "trash" and had always been quite unlikable.

The reason is very simple!

This guy's character is so weak that he wants to please everyone around him all the time. It can even be said that he lacks the most basic dignity as a human being.

Just like the famous saying "If you lick a dog, you will die a good death".

Let me ask you, if a person voluntarily gives up his dignity as a human being, how can others respect you?

In comparison, the popularity of "Northern Horse" Yisli is much higher.

Because he always knows what he wants, has a clear bottom line, and will never please anyone for no reason.

It's a pity that Lackey cannot understand this well because he is too young.

Finally, after struggling at the door for a while, the boy gritted his teeth and followed Allen into the second floor, surrounded by a group of scantily clad young women.

In just a few minutes, poor Lackey was so teased by these "big sisters" that she could only lower her head and clench her legs.

It wasn't until he walked into the private room and found a seat by the window that he sat down. When he could barely breathe, he huddled in the corner alone, assuming a defensive posture.

And this reaction just proved the guesses of this group of experienced women.

One of the young women, who was tall and slender, even laughed and joked: "What a cute little brother. Why don't you let me, sister, teach you how to transform from a boy to a man tonight?"

"Hahahaha! I think it's good. Tonight, no matter who of you can transform him from a boy into a man, the money will belong to that person." As he said that, Allen took out a small bag of gold coins from his pocket and threw it directly on the table. superior.

Wow!

With a crisp sound, the zipper of the leather bag opened instantly, revealing the golden color inside.

moment!

The scantily clad women present were breathing rapidly, and their eyes were fixed on the round coins that gave off a golden light under the refraction of the oil lamp.

But just a second later, they all turned their heads and turned their attention to Lackey. They all seemed to turn into hungry wolves in an instant, trying to swallow this piece of fat.

Lackey, who had never even held a girl's hand, had never seen such a battle before. He was so frightened that he huddled in the corner and did not dare to move.

Several times he tried to use his eyes to ask for help from Allen, but was ignored magnificently.

After a brief silence of about ten seconds, these women rushed forward in a swarm and blocked the young man in the corner.

It didn't take long for his clothes, pants, shoes, and socks to be torn apart by these crazy women. He couldn't help but cry out in despair: "Mr. Allen! Save me! Come and save me!"

But Allen watched this scene with great interest and comforted him casually: "Don't worry, your life will not be in danger. They just want to teach you how to become a man. This is a process that every boy must go through. , and the process is far from as scary as you think, on the contrary, it is very pleasant. After tonight, you will be able to control the sword of desire."

"No!!!!!!"

With screams that were hoarse, Lackey was finally dragged to the bed by force.

Although he struggled desperately to escape, how could a helpless young man be the opponent of a group of women who were like wolves and tigers?

Seeing the shy, scared, and even a little expectant reaction on Lackey's face, Allen couldn't help but smile and shake his head, turned around and jumped out of the window, running through the streets and alleys at extremely fast speeds. travel through.

He quickly passed through the layers of blockades of the guards and successfully entered the house only one street away from the cathedral.

Artoria, who had been waiting for a long time, put down the book in her hand, raised her head and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Sorry, something interesting happened, so I stopped and watched for a while." Allen explained with a smile.

"Interesting things?"

Arturia obviously noticed the fleeting drama and immediately realized that someone must be unlucky.

Because Allen would only show such an expression when he was in a bad mood.

"Okay, ignore these trivial matters. Tell me, how is your development of the Holy Light Church in the south?" Allen decisively chose to change the subject.

He didn't want too many people to know that he took Lucky to the special service industry.

"Not bad! According to your plan, I have integrated various towns and villages in the south through the Holy Light Church to form a huge interest alliance. Almost all the rulers are now believers of the Holy Light. But I don't quite understand. , Don’t you hate religion the most? Why do you still want me to establish the Holy Light Church to control the southern region?” Arturia asked a question that had been bothering her for ten years.

Allen touched his chin and explained meaningfully: "No! You misunderstood. What I hate is not religion itself, but those interest groups that use religion to enslave people, amass money, and seize power. What's more, do you think the Holy Light is really true? Is it a religion? Compared with religion, I think it is closer to the category of philosophy. Because the Holy Light does not have a specific individual worship, but simply emphasizes the need for unswerving will and determination. The most important thing is that it It can give people real power and sublimate their spirit.”

"So... you established a material-based regime in the West, and asked me to establish a spiritual-led regime in the South, just to let the two ideas collide and compete with each other?"

Arturia was worthy of being a king, and she immediately understood the true meaning behind this operation.

Just as human society on Earth requires different ideas and ideologies to collide and compete with each other in order to develop, the social structure of this world cannot be too single.

Otherwise, the error tolerance rate is too low. Once a wrong step is made in the future, the entire human society will be instantly catastrophic.

Allen nodded slightly: "That's right! Only when there is competition, there will be progress, and when there is collision, there will be development. Take modernization, which is something that has been taken for granted in modern society on earth. Do you know why the more modernized Will the gap between rich and poor be wider in countries with higher levels of poverty?”

"Why?" Artoria frowned subconsciously.

Because when she was in the Marvel Universe, she was completely attracted by the advanced technologies and the vast number of products available on the market, and she really didn't notice this.

"Because building a modern society requires paying very high maintenance costs. Including military, administrative, judicial, public transportation, medical care, elderly care, and a series of financial expenditures. Guess who will bear this heavy cost in the end. The burden is borne by those powerful financial consortiums, banks, monopoly giants in various industries and countless billionaires? No! It is borne by the vulnerable groups with very limited income, that is, the civilian class. Therefore, the system of modern society is related to Experience is not always as idyllic as it seems, nor is it necessarily the only right path.”

Allen made no excuses and stated his thoughts directly.

As a traveler who constantly travels through various worlds, he has already broken out of the confinement of his original thinking and began to observe the pros and cons of different worlds, different eras, and different social structures from a higher dimension.

Take the gap between rich and poor as an example. The gap between rich and poor caused by industrialization and modernization is far more terrifying than any other gap in the history of the earth.

So modernization and urbanization initiated by Western capital, capitalizing and valuing everything, are they really correct?

If it were before, Allen would have given a positive answer without hesitation.

But now, he began to have a different view, or a bigger picture.

A thoughtful expression appeared on Artoria's face: "I understand! You are worried that after the counterattack on the mainland, once those two countries are wiped out, the regime established in the West will be proud and complacent, and then embark on a path of The path of no return leads to destruction. To do this, you intend to preserve diversity in the world.”

"Yes! Over the years, the Western Land and the Southern Land have always maintained smooth trade, so privately many people have accepted the Holy Light as their spiritual belief and sustenance. Even if the entire Southern Land is incorporated, this kind of belief It will not disappear. On the contrary, it will fill the spiritual emptiness caused by material abundance, and eventually become the only legal sect in the entire country. Of course, before that, you still need to play your role well."

While saying this, Allen turned his gaze to the street not far away.

With eyesight that was comparable to an astronomical telescope, he could clearly see that Claire was trying her best to fight an awakened person.

Due to the evenly matched relationship, the two had been fighting for several minutes, but neither one could take advantage.

As for the cannon fodder monsters next to them, they had all been torn into pieces.

The dazzling plasma directly dyed the ground red.

Fortunately it was night, otherwise I would have heard the piercing screams one after another.

Arturia undoubtedly noticed this, and asked in an uncertain tone: "Aren't you going to help?"

"No! It's not necessary. If Claire can't even deal with an awakened person of this level, it would be very disappointing. After all, I gave her a seed of life energy, and it will take time to calculate it. It’s taken root and sprouted.”

Just as Allen was speaking, Claire, who was far away, suddenly couldn't dodge, and was instantly pierced through the abdomen by her opponent's sharp claws. She knocked down a wall with a bang.

Just when it was about to go up and strike, an indescribable terrifying aura spewed out from the broken wall, crushing all the slightly collapsed buildings around it into dust on the spot.

boom! ! ! ! ! !

Immediately afterwards, a spike that had mutated from a hand or a foot, and with lightning speed, pierced the awakened person's calf with a pop, and cut off the area below the knee.
