Chapter 175 The Real Paladin
"The great Enos witnessed that we only offer the most humble blessing. The lost lambs can come forward to receive the holy bread and holy blood." Only a sonorous and powerful call was heard. Paladin, wearing a gorgeous purple robe, stood in front of the statue of Enos in the Adley Church, speaking like this to the believers sitting devoutly below.
Every Sunday mass begins. One by one, believers lined up, knelt down respectfully in front of Paladin, and kissed the ring on Paladin's hand. The choir was ready and began to sing hymns. At this moment, the church was filled with sacred meaning and atmosphere. The priests and priests waiting aside immediately handed over the white bread and wine. Eat for those who pray.
"May God bless you." Paladin sent away a believer, and suddenly saw that the follower was a young man less than his waist. This young man has thick and beautiful long black hair. The fine fabrics and excellent tailoring make this young man definitely not an ordinary person. Seeing him, Paladin smiled gently. "Godfather." The young man looked at Paladin and said softly happily. This young man is Kalechi’s beloved son, User. He is also the godson of Paladin.
Squinting slightly, Paladin saw the casual Kalech standing by the door smiling. I found that this guy had not been seen for a year, and his hair and beard had gained some white color. Paladin smiled gently, put the white bread and red wine into the mouth of User, who had his mouth open and his face was red. He pointed his finger at the basin of holy water under the statue, drew a cross on User's forehead and said softly: " May God bless you."
At the same time, just as Paladin was celebrating mass in the church, he was thousands of miles away, in a rarely known village in the Principality of Barbary, close to the Mist Forest. But something extremely unusual happened. A man who looked exactly like Paladin, with the Almighty Eye floating on his forehead and the wings of God flashing behind him, floated over the village, emitting a shocking and dazzling golden light!
Yes, he is Paladin! Or to be precise, it is the main body of Paladin's many clones! So that means that at this moment, in the Adeley Church thousands of miles away, the person hosting the mass is actually just a clone of Paladin that separated again? In other words, the body is just a reorganized torso.
At this moment, Paladin was floating above this secluded village like a god. How have the common people in the village ever seen such a scene? One or two fell to their knees as if they had seen something, looked up at Paladin with their hands folded into fists, and excited murmurs of "God! Have mercy on my humble servant." began to be recited. What's more, some old men actually shed tears. Looking at Paladin, he wanted to step forward and lick his toes.
"Oh, God has arrived!" "Mom, what is that!" "Be careful what you say, this is the supreme true God!" Regardless of whether men, women, old or weak, whether they were willing or not, more than a hundred people in the village knelt down. On the ground, a series of prayers and atonements are uttered to the Paladin.
"Pathetic ants."
Paladin squinted at the kneeling humans below, his face still showing a calm and indifferent expression. Slowly stretched out his hand and gently touched the crowd below. A huge alchemy circle immediately appeared on the ground in the village with a bang! Before these people could figure out what was going on, four magic cores of four elements from the magical beasts were thrown to the four ends of the magic circle by Paladin. A drop of his own pale golden blood dripped down, and the moment the blood dropped on the ground. The huge ** formation on the ground that encompassed the village immediately made a rumbling sound!
"What's going on!" "Mom, I'm so scared!" "Don't be afraid, God won't hurt us." Although the mortals below were commotion, there was no chaos. Apparently they believed that such a divine being could not harm them. Obviously, when the skin and muscles of these mortals began to turn into ashes, the previously self-righteous thoughts turned into a joke. …,
"Come on, the bright red Stone of Truth." Paladin murmured to himself, watching calmly as the mortals let out bursts of screams and wails, quickly turning into skeletons, and their flesh and blood disappeared without a trace. And the screaming souls were sucked into the center of the magic circle by a strong suction force, and were squeezed together with their flesh and blood, and gathered into a small stone of truth. The screams just stopped in shock, making people mistakenly think they were hallucinations. Paladin waved slightly, and the Stone of Truth immediately flew into Paladin's hand. At the same time, Abelly, who was stronger than before, suddenly ran from outside the village, grabbed several mummies with his huge claws and put them into his mouth. The crunching sounds of chewing and swallowing made people shudder.
There was a flash of golden light, and Paladin instantly stepped on the ground. Looking at the extremely hungry Abel, he frowned and scolded: "Why is your appetite getting bigger and bigger... Forget it, stay here and eat any living things you see." After Paladin said this, he pushed away a The door entered the house. Abelly stared blankly at Paladin with his huge bull's eyes, then he grabbed the two mummies again indifferently, bit off the upper body in one bite, and ate them happily. Compared with those human beings who are fighting for wits and calculating, Abelly is a very simple existence. He only needs enough food for him to eat. It seems that Abel is more friendly and kind than humans and other races.
Paladin closed the door with his backhand and sat gently on the ground. The sunlight shining through the window made him feel a long-lost comfort. He took out a handful of red stones from his arms, the Stone of Truth that had been refined by the elves and just harvested. The Stone of Truth, which had enough life energy for nearly a thousand people, made him feel a little disappointed. Because this is too little.
There is no suspense when the sunlight turns into power and is injected into Paladin's body through the medium of the Stone of Truth. The severe pain that Paladin was accustomed to now had no value worth wasting energy on shouting. The numb Paladin felt the severe pain that would cause ordinary people to faint, and calmly looked at the sunshine outside the window.
What is worth noting is that the completely crystallized right hand is climbing slowly like a vine, gradually eroding Paladin's flesh and blood. When the huge amount of the Stone of Truth was consumed, Paladin's right hand, including his right shoulder, had completely crystallized, and the gold at the edge lay on the body like a tentacle, which looked very strange.
Slowly, Paladin closed his eyes. Because he knew that he was going to see the mysterious black boy again.
The familiar empty space, the huge Kabbalah tree on the ground. Paladin, who was covered in blood, stretched out one arm to touch the word gluttony on the floor, and looked quietly at the black boy who looked at him outside the circle.
