Reckless Through The New World

The dragon slayer Panda appeared again, and the news of the war with the Otto family soon reached the ears of the Thracian king Richard.

"That Panda is still alive?" Richard looked at the Minister of Internal Affairs who was in charge of intelligence in Thrace, and asked in surprise, "Are you sure the intelligence is correct?"

"The information came from the Otto family. Six of them died, all of whom were elites of the family. Many mercenaries also died, and they were all experts in the industry." The Minister of Internal Affairs said solemnly, "That person is a bear. Man, went to visit Marquis Brian in order to take away the horse he left in the capital."

Richard frowned and said, "These evidences may not be enough to prove that he is Panda - maybe he is a fellow countryman of Panda or something."

He looked down at the intelligence and said, "It is also said in the intelligence that this Panda-like character prefers to use fists and feet in battle, which is not very consistent with Panda. Moreover, during the battle, His boxing skills are no worse than swordsmanship, and he has used the skills of the divine fist messenger many times. On the contrary, he has never seen him use the unique 'holy sword' skills of paladins... In general, he and that Panda are still somewhat different. difference."

"It is true, but I think it is very likely that he is Panda." The Minister of Internal Affairs said, "If a person has such skills, then he does not need to pretend to be anyone at all, and can face the elite siege of the Otto family. Persevere for a long time, and finally there are magic props that can send escaped people, and it is easy to make a name for yourself."

"But even a strong man may not be able to find the opportunity to slay the dragon." Facing his trusted subordinates, Richard was still relatively friendly, "In the past few hundred years, there have been several legendary strong men, but the slaughter How many records does the dragon have? Unless he can step into the legend, the reputation of the 'Dragon Slayer' is more remarkable than that of any strong man under the legend."

"Your Majesty... I just think that a simple ascetic monk has no reason to pursue fame."

"It's because he doesn't care about money, beauty, luxury, and the like, that he needs fame more." Richard smiled. "If he really has no desires, why bother with that horse?"

One of the two bigwigs in the Thracian intelligence community pondered for a long time and nodded in agreement with his statement.

"You are right, if a person is indifferent in some aspects, then in other aspects, he may be particularly eager. If an ascetic has an ideal, he will definitely pursue it more actively than others... It's me. I was wrong!"

"You're not wrong, it's just that you didn't think about it from this angle." Richard smiled slightly, but his expression became stern again, "But...whether he is the real Panda or not, since he admits it I am the 'Dragon Slayer Panda', so he will be responsible for killing the Prime Minister of Thrace! Issue a wanted order, and all Thrace want this person!"

He paused, then said, "Just die, not live!"

He stayed beside him all the time without saying a word, and the statue-like document immediately responded, and the edict was drafted and sent to him soon.

Richard browsed the edict, nodded, asked the waiter to seal it, and handed it over to the prime minister.

Soon, this edict will spread throughout Thrace, and along with it, there will be portraits drawn based on the magical projections sent by the Otto family.

At that time, this person who calls himself "Panda the Dragon Slayer", as long as he is in the territory of Thrace, will never have a moment of peace! What awaits him will only be endless pursuit and killing until death!

After waiting for the ministers to go down, Richard took a deep breath and said to the Sword Saint Frost, who had been standing beside him without speaking: "The person you killed before...is that Panda?"

"I'm not sure." Frost Sword Saint replied, "I can only be sure that he is a cleric, and he is from the Church of the Suffering God. But it's not that Panda, I'm not sure - after all, I haven't seen this before. people."

"...What did the Church of the Suffering God say?"

"The only person who has seen Panda is the Archbishop of Mulandana Church. After I found him, he said he would go back and call everyone to ask a question. As a result, he committed suicide that night. All the relevant memories of the clerics who have seen Panda have been erased." The Frost Sword Saint's face was as cold as ever, without the slightest movement, "These clerics don't care about sacrifice at all for their own beliefs."

"I understand what you mean, even if there is a grudge, I will only stare at one or two people, and will not find the entire Church of the Suffering God." Richard said, "I don't want to have a legend suddenly one night. The paladins came to rush into the palace to give 'God's wrath'."

"Just understand, you are the king, the most honorable and most valuable person in the whole Thrace, there is no need to compete with those lunatics who don't take their own lives seriously." The Frost Sword Saint said, "My protection is not enough either. It is safe to say that it is best not to provoke them."

Richard nodded, a gloom in his eyes.

In this world, the battle between kingship and theocracy is not fierce, but it is very cruel. The priests are a group of madmen who are desperate for their ideals. Many of them do not have the concept of "compromise" at all, let alone perishing together, killing eight hundred enemies and destroying one thousand, they can do it.

What is even more frightening is that the clergy cannot be killed. As long as you have the aptitude for magic, and have the belief that you are in line with God from the heart and actually implement it, it is easy to sense divine power and become a priest. Historically, the Church of the God of Justice was strangled by several kingdoms, and as a result, the visible church disappeared, but new clerics continued to emerge among the people, many of whom had never even been in contact with the Church of the God of Justice in the past... In the end, more than 20 great nobles died from several kingdoms combined, and he was the first to be counseled.

Fortunately, the clergy's thoughts are generally relatively pure, and they are not good at politics and strategy. If this is not the case, perhaps the theocracy in the Western Continent has already overwhelmed the king's power and has become a theocracy.

Richard Thrace has always hated those churches, but even so, he can't turn against each church - even if he doesn't consider the threat of each other, the fact that his army still needs priests is enough to make him Holding his nose, he endured the things that made him unpleasant.

This is the difference between a statesman and an idealist.

He sighed, put the matter aside for the time being, and looked at another document.

It was an application submitted by the Duke of Elanz to hold a large-scale canonization ceremony for the former nobles who had defected from the Molai region.

Looking at the application, Richard frowned again.
