Chapter 147 The Envoys

7days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
Aleshia didn't expect that she would become a member of the messenger group one day.

After all, when the church sent an envoy, the members of the team have always been elite warriors. They are not only civil and military, but also their appearance must be able to represent the face of the church.

She is very confident in her combat skills and the Holy See, but in terms of appearance... Where can a woman who has been running on the defense line all year round and wielding her sword all day long?

Thinking of this, she felt a little uncomfortable all over.

The priest Mira said that they were going to the western town of the Grayburg Kingdom to negotiate a blasphemy incident where the royal power harbored the witch.

In addition to the priests who led the team, the envoys were composed of ten judges, one of whom was the cold-faced captain who had met on the Hermes defense line.

But now it seems that even if he is not in the battle, he still has a cold face. Just standing next to him, Aleshia feels that the temperature has dropped a lot.

The priest Mira is the exact opposite. She is over forty years old and has a pair of wise eyes.

She always talks about interesting stories about the church with a smile. She is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and yet elegant. Even in front of the Archbishop, her style remains unabashed.

Ereshia has heard more than once that she is likely to be a candidate for the next bishop.

What surprised the female warrior was that as a civil servant, Mira's riding skills were no less worse than other judges. For the past two days, she had been leading the team to the forefront. From the forest to the town trail, she could keep the horses at speed while reducing physical energy consumption.

This technique can only be mastered by the Judicial Army, who has been trained for a long time.

We're not heading south?After leaving the territory of Hermes and entering the Kingdom of Grayburg, someone in the team asked.

No, Bianfeng Town is too far away from us. If I go by land, I don’t want my butt to be worn out.Mira waved her hands and said, Let's go east first, go to Yougu Town, where there is a river leading to Chishui City.It will be very fast to reach Chishui City and Changge Fortress.

When did you join the church?Aleshia asked curiously, not only knowing the various interesting stories about the Holy City, but also knowing the secular world so well.

Twelve years ago, I was exactly thirty years old.Mira replied.

So late, she said in surprise, as far as I know, the older you are, the harder you will understand the teachings of the gods. It was incredible that you had been promoted from a believer to a priest in just ten years.

It was Ah, Mira smiled, and this was exactly what was fascinating about the church.I, Ah, was originally the daughter of a merchant. I followed my father to trade in the four kingdoms and brought ordinary goods from some places to another place, and the price would be several times different.For example, the emerald green coral of Haifeng County was purchased from local fishermen, and there were only twenty or thirty silver wolves per plant.Put it in the water tank and bring it to the palace of the Yongdong Kingdom, and you can get a golden dragon.The quality is good, the branches are evenly shaped, and can even be sold for more than five pieces.I often wonder why there are two different values ​​for it, even though it is clearly the same item?

Because...than things are precious?Aleshia spoke.

I thought so at first.The priest nodded, but something that happened later changed my opinion.A nobleman in the capital secretly hid a witch who could change the temperature. He came up with various ways to finally raise corals from Haifeng County in the cold Yongdong capital.He transformed the basement in the yard into a huge pool with a skylight on the top that can be harvested about once a year, and each time it produces more than the amount we traveled back and forth ten times.And my father will only run once a year for this long trade route.So there were more green corals on the market, and he not only sold them to the palace, but also to the great nobles.If the price of rare things is precious, the price of emerald green coral should continue to decline.

But just two years later, the palace refused to accept the low-priced green corals, believing that they were all counterfeits.The coral my father sold not only did not reduce the price, but instead doubled.As for the nobles who secretly hid the witch, they were pulled out by the church and tied the witch to a stolen rack to death.But I know that the corals he raises are not counterfeits, and they are no different from the emerald green corals my father transported.

It is not a wrong idea that things are precious, but there are many reasons that determine the price of goods. This is just the simplest example. The Yongdong Royal Palace regards emerald green coral as a symbol of luxury goods and artificially stipulates its value.When more emerald green corals appeared, it had an impact on the royal regulations, so the queen also celebrated a lot on the day of the execution.Do you think these goods look like the worldly people?

Like...what?Aleshia didn't come back to her senses.

Like the people under the royal power, children.Mira said word by word that we are given a price since birth, and this price is not a reflection of our true value.We are just like this green coral, obviously the same, some are cheap, while others are unattainable.

Unattainable…you mean nobility.

The nobles are the corals of the Yongdong Palace. The priest smiled and said, "They were born with no difference from us, with one pair of hands, one pair of feet, one pair of eyes and one mouth."However, they are artificially prescribed at the highest value. This inequality does not depend on their own abilities, but on the provisions of the royal power.So I joined the church, at least in the new holy city of Hermes, and my origins do not limit your value.If we can turn the entire continent into the final holy city of the church, the so-called kingdom of gods will be nothing more than this.

You said so well!Aleshia nodded repeatedly, feeling excited.

What a wonderful scene that it would be like to truly establish a land of gods like Mira described, the people were born without blood, without untouchables or slaves.

Kingdom of God?Hum...How many more people do they want to become cold-blooded monsters?The cold-faced judge army captain shook the reins and took a step forward. Lord Priest, how much do you know about the Divine Punishment Army?

Hey, you Aleshia just wanted to make him polite, but before she could say it, she was stopped by Mira.

The Divine Punishment Army is the most powerful warrior in the church. They are transformed from a judge army with firm faith, willingness to sacrifice themselves, and courageous fearlessness.

The most powerful is good, and it is also good to convert the Judgment Army, but what they transformed was not warriors, but a group of monsters without emotions!After he left this sentence coldly, he rode his horse to the front of the team.

It's simply rude!Aleshia said hatefully, when Hermes saw him, he felt that he was calm in the face of danger, with the calmness of a general and the bravery of a warrior. How could he become such a person now?

It doesn't matter, he's just restless.Mira shook her head and said, in order to build the kingdom of God on earth, there will inevitably be setbacks and sacrifices... But at least we are voluntary.

It was too late when the group arrived at the next town, and the priest took the messenger group to the church to rest.

After dinner, everyone went back to their room to sleep, but Aleshia followed the judge's captain and stopped him in the aisle.

Lord Mira is our leader, what does it mean to do that?Have you forgotten all the rules and regulations of the church?

Your name is Aleshia, right?He was silent for a moment before speaking.

That's right, now I am the commander of the judgement army, just like you.I asked about your name as early as the Demon Moon, but you didn’t say anything. Can you tell me your name now?

Abrams, he said expressionlessly, As for why I did that... do you have brothers or sisters?

No.Aleshia suddenly remembered that he once said that his brother was a God's Punishment Army.

I have.He grew up in the church with me, and we know each other as if we were one person.Later, he took the initiative to accept the transformation of the Divine Punishment Army, and I never saw him telling me that his transformation was very successful and that he has gone out to perform special tasks in the church. I am still sincerely happy for him.He paused until one day, I saw him again in the cathedral. I called his name and went up to hug him, but guess what did I see?A stranger appeared on Abrams' face.He walked straight past me as if he hadn't seen me at all, his eyes were blank and he stared straight ahead, his actions were not as good as human.

... A chill rose from behind Aleshia. She wanted to shout loudly that the other party was lying, but she opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.

The Divine Punishment Army was deprived of human feelings, but it was just a ball of dead objects that could move.He pushed Aleshia away, who was stunned and walked towards his room without looking back.
