The reason is very simple. Although there are many churches in this world, there is only one church that occupies absolute faith, called the Holy Church. The others are small churches with only a small number of believers in some remote places.

Precisely because it has occupied the orthodox faith for many years, the Holy Church at this time is already a bloated behemoth. It is no longer an ordinary church. The clergy in it no longer need to preach. The current clergy have long been a very high-ranking church.

position of social status.

Now the lowest church of the Holy Church is at the town level, and there have been no clergy at the village level. Just like the Fule Village where Lin Xiao is now, many middle-aged villagers have never seen a priest of the Holy Church in their lives.

At least in the month and a half since Lin Xiao's arrival, he has not seen any priests from the Holy Church. Even the Lord's Mansion only saw tax collectors coming to collect taxes, and no other outsiders were seen.

The outline of the mountain peak he wanted to go to could be seen in the distance. He walked along the path for a while, then turned at an intersection and entered the wilderness.

But after passing through this wilderness that is more than ten kilometers wide, we found a road again. This is the road from Gibson Castle to the Baron Mine, because there are often cars and patrols passing by, especially the heavy mine carts.

The road is full of potholes.

Except for the Baron's motorcade and patrols, there are very few outsiders traveling on this road. However, the Baron's motorcade usually only makes one trip every few days, and no one is seen along the way.

He walked slowly and leisurely holding the scepter. The four men were slightly sweating at this time, but none of them said they wanted to rest.

Their powerful physiques gave them endurance far beyond that of ordinary people, and as they came out for the first time after gaining strength, they were excited. Looking at the expectant eyes of the young men, they probably wanted to meet a few bandits to test their strength.

On the road one kilometer away from them, a convoy of five carriages filled with ore was walking slowly on the bumpy road.

In front of the convoy were two knights on horseback, a middle-aged man and a young man. Behind them were ten armored warriors and more than thirty militiamen wearing only sackcloth and holding short wooden spears escorting the convoy.

There was a conspicuous emblem on the carriage. If Lin Xiao recognized it here, it was the emblem of the Baron Gibson family.

The convoy moved forward slowly. As it passed a patch of grass that was taller than a person, the middle-aged man in the lead suddenly stretched out his hand and shouted:

"Stop!"

Maintaining the gesture of reaching out, he narrowed his eyes and scanned the surroundings, then suddenly reached out and pulled out the knight's sword from his waist and shouted:

"There is an ambush, prepare for battle!"

The team responded immediately. Ten armored warriors quickly drew their weapons and approached the two knights. More than thirty militiamen were a little dazed, but habitually and the grooms around the carriage quickly approached them.

Everyone was ready, but there was no movement around, as if there was no ambush.

The leading middle-aged knight snorted coldly, took out the long bow hanging on his horse, drew the bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow behind the dense tall grass.

There was no sound, nothing was shot, but the people hiding behind the bushes could no longer hide, and only a burst of shouting was heard. More than 20 fully armed soldiers and more than 30 militiamen emerged from behind the bushes. The leader

It was a strong man with a full beard, raising his sword and shouting:

"Kill them!"

Soldiers and militiamen raised their weapons and rushed over in a chaotic manner.

The two knights raised their weapons without fear and shouted:

"For the honor of the Gibson family, kill these robbers!"

Ten armored warriors responded by tapping their swords on their shields, and together with the shouting militiamen, they rushed forward in a chaotic formation, and the two sides instantly broke into a melee.

In this battle at the bottom of a plane similar to the Middle Ages, there is no such thing as sophisticated command and tactics. After all, this is how the troops are ordered. Most of them are militiamen and illiterate. The real elite is just the two knights and ten armored warriors.

The tactics also require someone to execute them.

The two knights were well-equipped and skilled in combat. They used their horses to blast through the military formation, but the retired soldiers and militiamen behind them were blocked.

Although the two knights easily penetrated the military formation, they were not happy because this round of attacks had no results. The knights' swords each hit a target, but they were completely blocked by their armors. Except for the impact of the war horses,

The opponent was knocked down without any damage, which was beyond their expectations.

In terms of individual physical fitness, these two knights are far stronger than these ambushers. These ambushers are only slightly stronger than ordinary people, but their armor defense is too strong.

When they stopped their horses and turned around, they saw a scene that shocked them. In just a moment, the battle was already one-sided.

This group of soldiers who don't look like bandits not only have extremely high armor defense, but the weapons in their hands are also very sharp. A single sword can cut through the armor of the armored warriors. The chains are scattered one after another, and the weapons are cut off. In a short time, their men have already

Pour a third.

The young knight was shocked when he saw this and shouted:

"You are not wanderers, who are you?"

What answered him was a sharp javelin and the silent sound of killing.

When Lin Xiao heard the shouts and screams from a distance and came over, he happened to see a dozen remnant soldiers covered in blood being chased.

The younger of the two leading knights saw him and shouted:

"I am Alfonso Gibson, the first heir of the Gibson family. Save me, and you will receive the friendship of the Gibson family and one hundred gold coins."

However, Lin Xiao didn't look at him at all, his eyes were fixed on the soldiers who were chasing behind him, more specifically the two dozen fully armed soldiers, with a strange expression on his face:

"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

He shouted loudly to the pursuers behind him:

"Who is your leader?"

He recognized at a glance that the weapons and armor on these pursuers were not forged in this world, and as expected they must be the descendants' subordinates.

He didn't know which one it was, but since it had been so long away from him, he had to ask first. If they were both human beings, then he would turn around and leave.

If you are not a human descendant, that would be embarrassing.

The leading pursuer glanced at him with bloodshot eyes and said loudly:

"We are Gurda's men. If you are not from the Gibson family, then you can leave."

"Gulda?"

Lin Xiao compared this name with the thirty-three human descendants who arrived together, and found that there was no one with the same name.

Since they don't have the same name, they must be enemies.

He slammed the scepter in his hand to the ground and shouted in a deep voice:

"Those who kill will be punished!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the big man on the other side's face sank and he snorted coldly:

"I hate the Holy Church the most. Brothers, kill them."

Lin Xiao did not explain that he was not the Holy Church. He just raised the scepter carved from a seemingly ordinary piece of wood in his hand and said it softly:

"My Lord says, life lies in mercy, group healing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the lines on the scepter in his hand lit up and spread quickly toward the top, turning into a ball of light full of life. It rose up, exploded, and turned into streams of life and fell on more than a dozen injured deserters.

The power of life was absorbed, and the wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

All the deserters were stunned, looking at their wounds with their mouths wide open with shock on their faces.

Not only them, but also the pursuers behind were stunned. Several of them subconsciously wiped their eyes with their hands, thinking they had seen it wrong.

"Oh my God, this is a miracle!"

Lin Xiao ignored them and just continued:

"My Lord says that life lies in tenacity, the strength of a herd of bulls!"

"My Lord said that life lies in tenacity, the tenacity of a pack bear!"

"My Lord said, life lies in agility, the elegance of group cats!"

He spoke three words of admonition in one breath, flashed the scepter in his hand three times in a row, and cast three group magic spells.

Bull Strength increases strength.

Bear's toughness increases physical fitness.

Cat's Grace increases agility.

What is it like to use magic in a world without demons and only ordinary people?

Crush?

Or killing indiscriminately?

After blessing three kinds of magic in one breath, everyone's physique, strength and agility increased by four points, which is equivalent to any physical quality reaching the knight level in this world.

And this was just the beginning, Lin Xiao then blessed them with edge skills and blessing skills one after another.

After one set, all the warriors felt the miraculous and terrifying power within their bodies, and the eyes they looked at Lin Xiao were indescribable.

At this time, he coughed lightly and said:

"God of life and wisdom, brave warriors, kill these robbers who trample on life."

Everyone's morale was high, and they raised their weapons and charged at the previous pursuers.

A round of charges passed by, and more than a dozen of the pursuers fell down. The armor they were proud of could no longer protect them under the sword with edge skills. Without this defensive advantage, their physical fitness would be crushed.

Can defeat a group of knights.

The battle ended in less than five minutes, and dozens of bandits were all killed without any escape.

To achieve this glorious result, only six magical spells were consumed, and his life scepter has a total of fifteen auxiliary magical spells attached. Each magical spell can be used dozens of times at most, or at least.

Three or five times, you can use it for many battles in a row.

And these are only auxiliary magics. The book of wisdom in his right hand also stores more than a dozen combat magics and several super powerful comprehensive magics. The same number can be used dozens of times, and the few can be used.

Use it three to five times.

The scepter of life on his left hand and the book of wisdom on his right hand are the missionary trump card that Lin Xiao has prepared for his incarnation.

It is impossible to use extraordinary power in this world, let alone divine magic, so everyone is miserable when it comes to spreading their faith.

But if he can equip his priest with this set of equipment, and his left hand can assist his right hand in fighting, just think about it and you will know what an advantage this will have in the competition.

This point has been reflected now. The battle is over. Four men dragged their bloody swords to Lin Xiao and knelt down on one knee to offer the enemy's head. He smiled slightly, held up the book of wisdom with his right hand and opened it. There was no wind on the pages.
