Chapter 134: The Beginning of Destruction (1)(1/2)
Chapter 134: The First of Destruction (Part 1)
When I climbed to the hills, there was a plain below. At the beginning of the plain, there were still some low hills around it. The location where I am now based is one of them.
"Sir, we are close to the hills below. Since we deviated from the mountains, we are probably directly in the territory of the Principality of Jenkinson." Hadak said, after several battles, Fang Xin's combat effectiveness was already very obvious.
Unlike the mountains, the hills have relatively gentle slopes, without large forests, and are full of short shrubs and grass. By this time, it was already mid-March, with flowers blooming in spring and wild flowers constantly, just like stars.
"Yeah, there is a village." Not far away, I saw a village where only a dozen thatched houses gathered together.
But you can see some developed farmland and a few snow-white sheep on the hillside.
Widths of smoke were rising into the sky and floating in the sky. The scenery made the four of them breathe a sigh of relief. After all, although the four of them had all kinds of power, they were not feeling well in the wild, so they naturally became happy when they saw people.
"Let's go down this small river!" Fang Xin said, looking at everyone, everyone had no objection and urgently needed a stable room.
The stream in spring comes, and the sound of gurgling water is emitting waves.
When walking near the stream, I felt a cool mist falling on my body. This feeling made Fang Xin very comfortable. After all, his body has the flow of water.
Sometimes the mountain wind blows, causing the mist to fly out and turn into a rainbow in the sun.
When I got to the hills, I saw a lake. I saw a piece of green water, and the clear and transparent lake stopped in front of me.
The lake is about dozens of acres, filled with water mist, but nearby there is an abandoned building. It seems to be a stone building, although it is not very big and magnificent.
Fang Xin didn't say anything, but waved his hand to signal the others to follow, and then arrived at the door.
The door should have been made of wooden, but now it has fallen to the ground. After walking in, Hadak went in, and there was a "ah" sound.
"What's wrong?"
"Sir, it seems that it is the altar of the goddess of spring water. It has been abandoned for a lot of time. The gods are no longer paying attention to it, but they still retain some traces of energy."
Without a pastor and without a believer, that altar will be lost after several years until it is completely cut off.
Fang Xin nodded, looked up and found that the small temple was actually very large, divided into several rooms, and there was even a marble altar in the main hall, but the holy emblem and name on it were no longer there.
"A good stronghold, we happen to take a break here." Fang Xin looked at him. He was very satisfied with the lake in front of the temple, so he asked: "Why don't we stay here for a few days? I feel that I have signs of being promoted to a third-level mage."
"Of course, after I successfully advanced, I will be ready to go to Grand Duke Ludi Heathborg. Before, I hope to investigate and investigate the situation."
As soon as this sentence was said, everyone looked at each other and became a second-level mage. It only took two and a half months to face a breakthrough again? This depth is too fast - this cannot be compared with the priest level. The improvement of the priest level lies in people and half in God. If you obtain the grace of God, it is not rare to quickly improve.
"Okay, I want to consolidate the knowledge and power given by my Lord." I don't know what command I received, but in short, Hadak immediately agreed: "As for the rest, I will go down once and contact the local thief union and the church, and the information will be sent soon."
Hadak agreed, and naturally Josieman also agreed. As for Harmon, he couldn't speak yet, and he urgently needed to understand and pray to the God of the Depth.
"Then, let's go and take a look in the village a little further away. They should have some supplies." Fang Xin said. Although the language was not clear, there were no obstacles for the mage.
Among the first-level spells, there is a well-versed language that can understand and understand all languages, but it cannot be said and written. Now Fang Xin can use it in reverse so that the other party can understand his own meaning.
When the four walked into the village, they could easily see the building in the middle - a little different from other ones built with grass mud. It was made of wood. There was also a barn around the room, and a small fence around the courtyard, with chickens and pigs inside.
The fields are near the village, and more than 20 adult men in the village are working in the fields.
Seeing someone coming in, the small village began to be surprised. A woman shouted. After a moment, everyone in the field came out. A middle-aged man walked over with a little cringe and said something, his eyes fell on the unique clothes of the four people and the swords they were holding.
Fang Xin couldn't understand what they said, but he recited it silently, and a little light appeared on his finger. The light shone, which shocked everyone. When a beam of light hit the middle-aged man's head, he was so scared that he retreated repeatedly, and the others immediately hid in the room.
Fang Xin did not hesitate and cast the second spell, which was also a first-level spell - Charming Humans
In Fang Xin's opinion, this is a magic spell for ordinary people - it can influence people and make them feel good. It seems like an old friend, and the effect can last for several hours.
One hour later, Fang Xin came out with satisfaction.
"This village has a small population and is too poor. It has been more than ten years since it has lost its faith, so it has almost no believers, so it has no power to fight against spells, otherwise it will cost more hands and feet." Fang Xin said with satisfaction. The biggest benefit of faith is that the slightest slightest saint power nourishes the soul, so devout believers are not easily affected by this low-level spell. Otherwise, wouldn't the magician be invincible in the world?
"The village chief is Kante. He has given us the altar, and I have paid a hundred silver lakes. They will buy food, clothes, and tableware for us, and build a wooden fence near the altar, and will also send people to clean the room. We will only have to work harder these few days."
Sure enough, I saw the village chief starting to greet the villagers. Although the villagers were a little confused, under the command of the familiar village chief, he came out with a little hesitation.
They took the cleaning tools and went to the altar together. They first carried it with wooden barrels and buckets, and then cleaned the room. A large amount of dirty water flowed out and swept the filth, making the room clean.
The altar is not big. There are about 60 men and women who can help children. If they do it together, the speed is very fast. When I called for someone just now, it was morning, and at noon, I basically swept it. In the afternoon, I had nailed the wooden fence and dug a ditch as I told me.
As for the bed, it is even easier. Just nail the wooden boards. One room for each of the four people is enough. The room on the main altar is empty. The bed is temporarily covered with dried sheepskin. Although this sheepskin tastes a little, it is OK for the time being.
The excess iron pot was also brought, and the eggs, two chickens and dried flour were all delivered in the village. Suddenly, the fragrant food made the four of them swallow.
"I'll take a shower first." Fang Xin said, and after that, he ran to the spring water not far away. Although the spring was cold, the other party naturally had nothing. Fang Xin took off his clothes and washed the magic robe. Although the magic robe was said to be untainted, in fact, he had been running in the mountains for nearly a month and became dirty.
The long sword was placed on the shore and Fang Xin fell into the water. The bloodline and water power were all gone.
Fang Xin cleaned his body and combed his messy hair. At this time, the village chief who had woken up must be very scared. I hope the silver coins in his hand can make him more awake.
Fang Xin began to think. When he arrived in this world, he had been observing and understanding the world instinctively, and did not do much, but now he is in opposition to the Church of Light, which has hindered his plan.
For him who has mastered the essence of society, this is enough just one starting point.
"...Look, today I stand above all peoples and countries, to unplug and break, to destroy and overthrow, and to build and build..." Fang Xin made a decision as the sun sets and spreads the light of dusk on the houses and fields of the village, and he smiles as he whispers this sentence.
"I must further understand magic and the scale of the magic energy in this world. If possible, it would be just a casual matter to change the era and even let the Church of Light fall." Fang Xin thought so, and he deeply understood how to change the world.
Although it does not require too strong strength to achieve this goal, at least you have to reach the level 6 of the magician, which can have some social influence, can distribute certain funds, and can make some people pay attention to it.
Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, let alone a level 6 magician, it is just a level 16 magician. For the mainland, for the Light Church, it is just a tiny dust, but Fang Xin smiled, this is enough. No matter how many gods, how many people, or how many talents there are, the result is the same.
After thinking, after washing the clothes, I used a level 0 magic to dry the clothes, then put them on, and returned to the altar, smelled the rich fragrance, and the words of Hadak: "Sir, there is no faith here anymore, please allow me to fill it!"
"Yes!" Fang Xin said indifferently.
Although it was an inquiry, in fact, Hadak certainly had his own opinions, and he would proceed even if Fang Xin did not agree.
But Fang Xin didn't care.
Time passed quickly, and the situation became clear. This was indeed within the territory of the Duchy of Jenkinson, and theoretically in Dumborin County. The reason why it was said to belong to the Kingdom from the fact that there were no grand dukes and lords to this remote village with only eighteen families established due to escape.
The villagers in the village are all very simple people. The so-called simplicity is not kindness, but their meaning is to succumb to strength and to be petty.
There are wheat and vegetables in the fields that are not large in size. After the exchanges slowly, these villagers have determined the rule of "exchanging food and labor for divine arts". Although they will also pray on the altar of the transformed Shadow God, who can believe that the farmers will understand the teachings of thieves and agents?
Hadak went down the mountain once and reported his achievements - killing these paladins and priests of light, which was a very great achievement.
Usually, anyone who can kill one will receive rewards and rewards from the church. Of course, this cannot be said by Hadak alone, and it must be confirmed by the Qianying Church.
When I came back, I not only brought relevant information—the Church of Light in Yingpuja has issued an ultimatum to the local church, so I have to avoid the limelight and change my name in a few months before I can take action again.
Secondly, a batch of simple alchemy tools were brought, which not only were Fang Xin used, but also made holy water.
Hadak was very busy at work afterwards, and he wanted to teach Harmon to become a true shadow pastor. Although the pastors of the two churches are essentially the same, the specific learning lessons, including the doctrines of understanding and the charter of action, are completely different, which takes a long time to get started.
In the blink of an eye, it was May, with dense branches and leaves, lush and lush.
"Sir, has the spell been successful?" Hadak followed Fang Xin and said as he walked.
"Yes, it has been successful. The first thing that succeeds is spider web technique - you have heard of this spell!"
"Yes, sir, I've heard of one of the most effective and practical spells among the second-level spells." Hadak said, of course he had heard of this famous spell.
It can launch a sticky magic spider web with a radius of about 10 meters. This allows people with small power to be fixed there, and people with large power to struggle slowly, which is very effective for small-scale group wars in narrow spaces.
Fang Xin nodded, and the two arrived at the shimmering lakeshore. Then Fang Xin began to chant the spell silently. After a moment, with a wave of his hand, the entire open space was covered with slightly white silk screens, covering hundreds of square meters. This was the sticky magic spider web, which shone with light in the sun.
There is a huge tree by the lake. It is about a hundred years old. It is 10 meters high and has a thick rope wrapped around it. Fang Xin pulled it and climbed up like this, and Hadak also climbed up.
The tall trees can be seen at the surrounding environment, even far away from the lake, so no one can hear the words.
The two sat among the branches and looked down to see the entire lake.
"Can the church help me get a position in the Principality?" Fang Xin asked. Although it was only ten trees high, it seemed that it was enough to see the nearby areas, and the farmland in the distance could also be seen.
"I have asked this. Yes, someone will operate in front of the Grand Duke, but it cannot appear in the original name." Hadak looked at Fang Xin and said, "Also, I need ten thousand gold Lake."
"Yeah, this condition is acceptable, but it really costs money!" Fang Xin sighed.
"This is the rule of the church, which has been ongoing for almost eight hundred years." Hadak said without embarrassment: "You know, we are not like the Church of Light. We used to collect tithes taxes directly, but now we also have a large amount of donations and land."
"For the purpose of maintaining and developing the church, we can only determine this method of charging. Unlike the current Church of Light, although it has lost the right to collect tithes directly, it has issued indulgences to obtain wealth." Hadak said half enviously and half hatred.
"I heard that your church has a discount on its merits?"
"Yes, you are now a bronze badge, 10% off." Originally, when Fang Xin built an island, the Qianying Church also contacted him, saying that as long as the temple is allowed to be established secretly, Fang Xin can be directly upgraded to the level of silver badge members, and there are many discounts and privileges.
But now, of course, there is no more, and it is still a copper badge.
The price of the silver badge is 20% off and the price of the gold badge is 30% off. Fang Xin asked: "Can there be other levels above the gold badge?"
"Yes, platinum badge, 60% off, but basically no one can get it." Hadak didn't say who got it. This is definitely a big customer or even the backstage of the Qianying Church.
Qianying Church, serving customers, actually only has an average profit of 50% and a 60% discount. If there are other extra and difficult to avoid, it will be basically for free.
"Okay, if I deal with the Church of Light, can it be converted into a contribution?"
"Of course!" Hadak immediately said without hesitation, even showing a hint of joy. If the biggest enemy of Qianying Church is, it is naturally the Church of Light.
“What about the standard?”
"Kill a clergyman below level 5, get an iron badge, kill five clergyman below level 5, or a clergyman above level 5, get a bronze badge, kill twenty..."
Fang Xin interrupted him with a sneer and said, "Are you a petty man? If I could kill each other with the clergy of the Church of Light, thousands of dead and millions of believers die, then what's the point?"
After thinking about it, he said, "Of course, even if you take a step back, it can shrink the finances of the Church of Light and lose one-tenth of its income. What's the point?"
Take a step back, because considering this world, it may be influenced by Western time travelers, although it has not been encountered so far - this is normal, and it would be strange if you encounter it as soon as you come to this world.
