Noble Emblem

943 bump in the face

Because of the coachman's reminder, Beta easily entered Xixiang City in Longokan Country without any accidents.

Because it is a border city, Beta can see soldiers appearing on the streets from time to time. And these soldiers are also quite elite.

In addition, Beta also saw a huge military camp, standing next to the city lord's palace. Beta estimated that there should be more than 700,000 civilians and nearly 80,000 soldiers in this city.

This kind of regional power is relatively strong in the world.

Without the protection of the World Tree, there would be no existence of Coco Yala. The power of such a territory could probably wipe out the elves.

And such regional forces abound in the human world. That's why Cocoyala has such a strong sense of urgency. She is an elf who has experienced the era of a real "big empire". Based on her previous experience, she can see how powerful the human world is now.

The dragon clan... really has no way to compare with humans in terms of overall strength.

That's why she found Beta and the Cult of Wealth.

After entering the city, Beta found a hotel to stay in, then went out to buy some dye and dyed her hair, which was as bright as gold threads, into taupe.

After all, this is the territory of the Temple of Life, so it’s better to be cautious.

After closing the door of the hotel room, Beta also entered the mansion.

Julie and Jessica were lying on the table, looking at a small thing in the center of the table.

The little thing had already been cleaned by Julie and changed into white clothes.

Beta knew at a glance that the little thing's clothes were probably made from the torn edges of some clothes saved in the mansion, and they must have been Julie's handiwork.

The little thing was lying on the plate, sucking some honey on the plate. To it, the plate is as big as a bed, and the few bits of honey on it are simply a feast.

Beta's appearance startled her, and she hurriedly flew up and hid behind Julie's arm.

"Is your relationship already so good?" Beta asked curiously.

Julie closed her palms and held the little thing in her hands, then opened it and placed it in front of Beta, and said softly: "Her name is Dove."

The name sounds familiar. Where have you heard it before?

Beta, who was slightly distracted, then noticed that Julie's expression had softened a lot.

Since she and Joshua parted ways, she rarely showed such an expression. Perhaps this was an excellent breakthrough for her to open up her heart.

Originally, Beta wanted to find an opportunity to send this little thing to the woods south of Waking City and let the druids take care of it. At most, it was only the cost of one transmission, which was not expensive for Beta now.

But seeing Julie's current state, Beta felt that it would be a good choice to keep this little thing for a while.

The little thing was still very wary of Beta. She held Julie's thumb and looked at Beta timidly.

Beta looked her over and over, then lost interest. In the game, he had seen a lot of flower fairies, and he didn't think they were that strange.

"You guys stay here for now, I'll go outside to get some information."

Then he left the mansion and the hotel, and started walking on the street.

It was already afternoon, the temperature here was very warm, and the sunshine was just right enough to make people want to sleep lazily.

There were not many people walking on the streets, most of them were probably resting. Beta soon found the city's Temple of Life.

The temple is quite large, covering an area of ​​five acres according to Beta's visual estimation. There were many believers blessing at the door, but the door of the temple was open. Except for four guards, there seemed to be no priest in sight.

Beta summoned Joan of Arc and asked her to monitor the area from the air, while he left.

In the evening, from the perspective of Jeanne d'Arc's spiritual link, Beta finally saw priests adding to the temple from outside one after another.

One of them was very drunk, and Beta remembered this person's appearance.

The next day, the pastor went drinking again early in the morning.

Other priests also left the temple. All of a sudden, this temple of life became vacant again.

Beta found it a bit strange. None of the priests of the Temple of Life had to lead prayers? There is no need to explain doctrines, let alone enlighten believers?

What do they eat?

If this happens to the Wealth God Cult, everyone in the entire temple will be severely punished.

But this is the Cult of Life and has nothing to do with Beta.

He asked Joan to spy on the drunkard last night. Sure enough, after the priest left the temple, he went to a tavern. After staying inside for three hours, the priest came out, walked to the alley next to the tavern, pulled off his robe, and started excreting on the spot.

Because he was drunk, he didn't notice that there was a little beggar sleeping soundly in the corner where he peed. As soon as he peed, he woke up the little beggar.

Perhaps due to fright, the little beggar jumped up and bumped into the priest. Then his whole body bounced back into the corner, which was extremely painful.

There is a huge gap in strength between professionals and non-professionals, not to mention this is a skinny little beggar.

The little beggar got up again and was about to run away, but was kicked to the wall again by the priest.

The pastor looked at the wet spot in front of him, and a smell came from there. His face gradually turned livid, and the look he looked at the little beggar became fierce.

The little beggar had a sallow face and thin buttocks. He couldn't tell the difference between male and female. When he saw this, he knelt down on the ground and cried hard and begged for mercy: "Pastor, please spare me. I didn't mean it. Please."

He kowtowed and cried.

But the pastor was unmoved. He raised his foot and stepped hard on the little beggar's left arm. After a click, the little beggar fell to the ground and rolled, his left arm bent at a weird angle.

The sharp screams spread outside the alley, but no one dared to enter.

The priest seemed to wake up from his drunkenness, but his eyes seemed to become more bloodthirsty.

He raised his foot again and stepped on the little beggar's right thigh.

There was another click, and the little beggar lost all the strength to roll around. He just lay on the ground, his body swaying motionlessly, and he gasped as if he was on the verge of death.

The pastor felt that his mood had improved a lot, and he wanted to leave, but when he saw the wetness in front of him, he walked back to the little beggar and raised his legs.

This time his eyes locked on the little beggar's head.

But his legs didn't step down.

This was not because he had an outburst of conscience, but because he felt that the back of his head was grasped by something as hard and powerful as an iron pincer.

The opponent was so strong that he couldn't even turn around. He could only barely see from the corner of his eye that there seemed to be someone standing behind him, and he could see the red robe behind him on the left.

"Who is it? I am the bishop candidate of the Temple of Life."

The person behind ignored him, but used his right hand to slam his face into the wall.

Soldiers have the thickest skin because they are physically strong. If a warrior's face hits a wall, the wall will most likely be broken. But this man is a priest.

With a bang, he felt that his nose had lost all feeling, and then the whole flesh on his face seemed to be rotted away.

The severe pain made him scream, and the sound spread out into the alley. This time, no one entered the alley because they didn't dare.

Looking at the pastor's face, he smiled and said, "It's not flat enough!"

Then with another force, the man's face was slammed into the wall again. After the bang, the man's nose was completely invisible, and his entire face seemed to have turned into a flat plate, with blood and flesh at the same time.

But even so, the priest did not die.

Beta threw him aside, then walked up to the little beggar, threw down a healing scroll, and took out two pieces of dry food.

The healing scroll completely healed the little beggar's fractures, and it didn't take many minutes.

Then in the little beggar's surprised and disbelieving eyes, Beta thrust two pieces of dry food into his hand and said at the same time: "Let's go quickly, it's best to leave this city."

The little beggar looked at Beta's face, as if he wanted to remember him in his heart. Then he stood up, bowed to Beta with tears in his eyes, hugged two pieces of dry food, turned around and ran away.

Watching the little beggar leave the alley, Beta walked over, dragged the priest's clothes by the back collar, and took him deeper into the alley.

Five minutes later, Beta looked at a dead human-faced spider in front of him and snorted softly.

"As expected, Rose has begun to corrupt the entire priests of the Cult of Life."

Beta did not stay in this city longer. He used magic to burn the human-faced spider into ashes, and then went to the next city after the Temple of Life found no one missing.

In the new city, he found another priest with quite bad conduct, killed him directly, and found that this man had also turned into a human-faced spider.

After that, every time he visited a city, he would kill one or two priests with "bad records". Almost all the priests turned into human-faced spiders, and only one priest kept his human appearance.

More than ten days later, he was very close to the holy city of the Temple of Life. The disappearance of a large number of priests finally attracted the attention of the Heretic Inquisition Bureau of the Temple of Life.

A team followed Beta through the city to investigate. They can't find the missing priests, but when a red line is drawn on the map for the missing city, the whole team is upset.

"Someone is coming to the holy city of our religion."

Everyone in the heresy interrogation team had a ferocious expression on their faces. They quickly returned to the Holy City and told the Pope of the Temple of Life this guess.

The pope with green hair on his head looked at his pine bark-like right hand and said calmly: "Since I became the pope, fools who are not afraid of death have come to assassinate me once or twice a month, but they have never succeeded. It's the same this time. , don’t panic, just be prepared as before.”

Calmness is a necessary quality for the Pope, but when the heresy interrogation team encounters this kind of thing, they cannot be calm and can only go crazy.
