Lord God Investigator

The sun is high in the sky, at noon, the moment of execution.

The chief priest of Dawn recited the divine incantation and praised the sunshine. A pillar of fire rose into the sky, and golden light shone in the flame. It was the holy flame of exorcism summoned by divine power - Sun Flame Technique.

"No!"

In the audience, Dame Hathaway fell to her knees with tears streaming down her face.

She didn't want to come, but she couldn't help but come to see Ao for the last time. When she saw her beloved Ao being enveloped by the holy flame, she was in pain as if she was the one being burned.

"Did you see it? You foolish degenerates, you have been deceived and deceived! Wake up quickly..."

The High Priest of Dawn shouted excitedly. He thought this move was full of wisdom. As long as Bredlow's initial lie was exposed in public, wouldn't all the blasphemous lies he fabricated later be self-defeating?

The chief priest has confirmed with the chosen people of the God of Love that the sculpture is not a miracle performed by the God of Love at all. In the main material world, there is no forged holy object that will not be burned by the holy flame. As long as the sculpture that once shocked Amn is burned in public "Io, the one who looks at love from afar, the one who is immortal for thousands of years." With the help of the magic video disc, Bradlow can slowly eliminate the huge negative impact caused by it.

"Ah! Io is fine, that's great!"

The chief priest heard the excited shouts of the Dame, and he quickly looked closely. Io was unscathed in the holy flames, and not even a hair was singed. Instead, after being baptized by the flames, the dust and dirt were burned away, making him cleaner. .

The chief priest of Dawn was not too panicked. He had made a plan in advance and thought of the possibility that the statue's unique material could resist flames. He chanted the incantation again. Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the clear sky, blocking the sun, and a thick thunder and lightning struck. He came down and hit Io, who was standing proudly in the holy flame.

He performed the divine art of summoning thunder.

Lightning struck Io, causing an explosion. The burning pyre piled at Io's feet was blown up into sparks, and the holy flame was extinguished by the blast.

However, Io's mechanical body is still intact. In addition to being resistant to high temperatures, its skin is also an insulator.

This time, the chief priest of Dawn felt a sense of ominousness in his heart. He could only activate the next backup plan and took out a sacred scroll from the space bag.

This holy book is a god-given treasure. It contains the ten-ring legendary spell "Great Disintegration" sealed in it. This high-level dissociation spell is a divine spell that even Faerun mages cannot cast. It can materialize everything in Faerun. Because of the dust, not even the artifact can withstand the power of this ten-ring spell.

Even if this sculpture has been turned into celestial material by the gods using their divine power, it will still be broken down into fine dust by the Great Dissociation Technique.

The chief priest of Dawn recited the divine incantation, activating this divine spell that should not appear in the human world. However, before the radiance of the divine spell could flash, another divine weapon on his body, the golden crown that permanently fixed the "premonition spell", emitted With the magical aura, a hint of spiritual enlightenment arises spontaneously.

The High Priest of Dawn saw the future scene a few seconds later. It was an endless dazzling light. This light engulfed the earth and wiped out the entire Amn from the east coast of Faerûn. The surrounding Baldur's Gate and Tyrell In many countries, the earth trembles, strong winds sweep, the sea roars, and all life is in ruins!

Black clouds representing death rise, and huge pillars of smoke stand between heaven and earth...

Cold sweat flowed down the forehead of the chief priest of Dawn. He quickly stopped the divine spell and did not dare to use the Great Disintegration Technique again. He couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring and frightened in his heart.

Destroying an artifact with the Great Disintegration Technique is a very dangerous act. It may attract unknown beings in the void who are interested in the artifact, or trigger a violent explosion that annihilates divine power. The power is comparable to the arrival of divine fire!

Could it be that this "Io, the one who looks at love from afar, the eternal person" is really an artifact?

The Chief Priest of Dawn was not sure, but he did not dare to use disintegration and destruction spells on the statue. Once it went as shown in the foretelling scene, it would lead to a shocking tragedy.

Just as he saw the foreboding sight, using the Great Disintegration Technique on Io's mechanical body did trigger a nuclear explosion.

The energy core of Io is a miniature nuclear fusion reactor. What controls the fission reaction rate is the baffle that absorbs neutrons. Once large cracking is used, the reactor will turn into dust, and the baffle that blocks the fission reaction will disappear, miniaturizing the nuclear reaction. The purity of radioactive elements in the furnace is much higher than that of large reactors. The fission reaction speed of the dusty furnace core increases sharply, and the furnace core will melt in an instant. The temperature of the melted furnace core is too high, and complete nuclear fission will occur almost immediately. .

The scroll of the Great Splitting Technique in his palm lost its aura, and the physical recoil of forcibly terminating the magic gave the high priest a heavy blow. The high priest staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

"Holy flames can't be burned, thunder and lightning can't damage it. Is that green light just now a dissociation technique? It can't even be used? It can't damage Io at all. Is this considered an evil object? Even holy objects can't compare to it!"

"It just proves that Mr. Bredlow didn't lie, so who did he lie?"

"Priest of Lathander who is a habitual liar!"

"I almost got deceived by him!"

…

There were murmurs of criticism from the crowd, and in an instant, the back of the chief priest of Dawn was covered with cold sweat. He used strong willpower to restrain himself from losing his composure, and shouted angrily with a cold face: "The evil energy is too powerful, if it is forcibly destroyed, it will Causing a world-destroying natural disaster! This further proves that Bradlow is an extremely evil demon king!"

The paladins surrounded the Temple Square. The citizens sneered at the words of the high priest, but did not dare to roar like they did when they besieged the city hall.

Since the Knights took over Amn, public opinion has become meaningless. Ten thousand words shouted by the people are not worth a word from the oracle.

The High Priest of Dawn is not as gentle as Mayor Bailana. He can send anyone to the stake for blasphemy without trial.

Under the coercion of the paladin, the citizens stared at each other and dared not speak out in anger.

"The devil will not be rampant for long, this evil thing will be purified sooner or later!"

The chief priest of Dawn said bitterly: "If it wasn't for your stupidity to provide it with evil beliefs, how could it accumulate so much evil energy? You are all guilty! This time when the citizens are summoned, there is another matter to be announced in public, that is, starting from today The atonement tax began to be collected, and the tax was used for the expenses of Amn's garrison."

Upon hearing the news of the tax, the citizens couldn't hold back and started talking in low voices again.

"Why tax? The Six-member Council's taxation has at least done something for us, and they just take money out of our pockets just by saying, 'You are guilty'?"

"There are six knights stationed in Amn, and they want us to pay for the military expenses!"

"That's ridiculous. Did we beg them to come? If we don't have money to garrison, get out of Amn."

"It's like a group of invaders..."

"Aren't they the invaders?"

…

The main purpose of the High Priest of Dawn in gathering the citizens was actually to collect taxes. The six major knights gathered in Amn. Tens of thousands of paladins spent a lot of money on horse chewing every day. They wanted to completely cleanse the city of the influence of Bredro's poison. , the stationing time must be very long, and strict management must be carried out during the period of stationing, so that these lost lambs can return to the embrace of the gods.

The Church of Lathander has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, but it cannot fill the bottomless pit of military expenditures. Ascatla City is a famous and wealthy city in Faerûn. The wool comes from the sheep. Since it is to cleanse this fallen city, To garrison a city, all expenses should be paid by the corrupt people of this city.

"The tax rate is one-third of citizens' property... Nobles can receive tax exemptions based on their title... Believers can also receive tax reductions based on their piety... Subsequent tax amounts will depend on the degree of completion of purification..."

As soon as Chief Priest Li Ming finished speaking, the citizens became excited. This tax rate was simply intolerable.

"This is a raid!"

"Why should we pay taxes to you? We are not a fallen people. Get out of Amn, then we won't need any garrison expenses!"

"Get out of Amn!"

…

"A bunch of stupid people! This is not for your own good. The unbelievers who have abandoned their faith will suffer forever in the wall of the unbelievers after death. How ungrateful!"

The high priest of Dawn looked at the boiling crowd with cold eyes, waved his hand, and the prepared paladins picked up sticks and flails, rushed into the crowd, pushed down the citizens who were shouting the loudest, and beat them indiscriminately.

"The gods are whipping you all for your own good!"

The chief priest shouted loudly: "All this is caused by Bradero. Wake up, fools. If you want to hate, hate him. It is he who sowed poisonous seeds in your hearts and grew poisonous weeds. Get rid of the poisonous weeds." The process is painful, but you will eventually understand that all the pain you encounter is a gift from God! It is to save your fallen souls!"
