Game of the World Tree

"Arrest this heretic who deceives the world!"

The black-robed priest looked at Cyber ​​coldly and ordered the judgement knights.

The eyes of the poor people present changed, and they immediately became agitated.

Led by the old man who used to be a professional, many people took the initiative to protect the front of Cyber, and stared at the judgment knight who rushed into the church with anger-filled eyes.

At the same time, someone faintly heard cursing:

"Bah! The lackey of the Eternal Church!"

Seeing the behavior of the poor, Cyber ​​was stunned for a moment, and there was an unexplainable feeling in his heart.

He never imagined that most of these poor people who were not even professionals would stand in front of him at this moment!

At this time, a thin voice came from behind Cyber:

"Lord Cyber, come with me, the Eternal Church is catching life believers in evangelism. I know there is a hidden path behind the church. Come with me and escape through the back door!"

It was a thin young man.

While hiding the fear in his eyes, he boldly pulled up the corner of Cyber's shirt and pointed to the back of the church.

Cyber's vision is more complicated.

He looked at the poor people around him, and found that many of them were using their eyes to imply that he should escape quickly, and moved their bodies again to block in front of him.

"Hmph, stop the church enforcers, arrest them all and take them away! The resisters... kill them on the spot!"

Looking at the small movements of the poor, the priest in black robe sank his eyes and said coldly.

The commotion in the crowd grew even greater.

At the same moment, the knights of judgment drew out their long swords, and the swords pointed directly at the poor people standing in front of Cyber.

They were expressionless and arrogant, and when the breath completely burst out, even Cyber's pupils shrank.

These trial knights... are all golden professionals!

The poor looked terrified, but no one left.

The black-robed priest's face was even more ugly.

He gave an order and gave an order to the trial knights to shoot, but just as the trial knights took a step, a high voice came from the crowd:

"Wait a minute!"

It's cyber.

I saw that he ignored the poor people's eyes, gently pushed the poor people's hands away, and walked out of the crowd.

His expression was calm:

"I'll go with you, don't hurt civilians."

"Lord Cyber!"

The poor people let out a burst of exclamation.

However, Cyber ​​just raised his hand to stop them:

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

After speaking, he turned around and smiled at everyone:

"Don't be impulsive, please always remember that as long as there is light in your heart, there will be hope in the future."

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to the trial knights and captured them.

"Tie him up!"

The black-robed priest ordered.

The judgement knights swarmed up and bound the cyberspace with forbidden magic chains.

"Lord Cyber!"

The poor people behind them rioted again.

And Cyber ​​turned around, smiled at them, and shook his head.

"take away!"

The black-robed priest waved his hand.

After finishing speaking, the trial knights roughly put up Cyber's arms and took him out...

Taken out of the ghetto by the judged knights, Cyber ​​was chained up by them again with long iron chains.

Although it was daytime, there were not many people on the streets of the city, only judge knights and eternal priests in silver armor, searching for something.

From time to time, there can be swearing fighting sounds, the cries of children, and the screams of women.

And in a farther place, you can also see some figures who are locked up like him.

The other party was also escorted by the trial knights, and they looked at each other with Cyborg.

They looked at each other and soon saw the shiny green names above each other's heads.

Cyber:  …

He understood in an instant, this is probably the Eternal Church finally can't stand their fanfare in the Human Empire during this period of time, and began to hunt down players in the city on a large scale.

Soon, players who were preaching in various parts of the city were caught and chained.

They were roughly pushed by the knights of judgment and escorted to the square of the city.

Throughout the whole process, not many players resisted.

Including cyber.

There is no way, the enemy who came here is powerful, and with the power of cyber, it is destined to be unable to escape.

And if there is a fight, there is no doubt that the poor will be affected.

Most of the poor people in the slums have become life believers. As the goddess's choice, he has the responsibility and obligation to protect them...

Just got caught, the big deal is death, and a minute later he is a hero again.

Maybe, because of the martyrdom, there will be a few more fanatical followers...

Well……

If you think about it this way, you seem a little too shameless.

Thinking of the worried eyes of the poor just now, Saibo felt a little ashamed.

However, judging from the expressions of the other players, he doubted that everyone thought the same as him...

A total of twenty players were caught.

This is also for all players who choose to preach in this city.

In the square of the city, the stakes have been prepared one by one.

Seeing the stake, Cyber ​​immediately knew what their fate was.

However, when he couldn't help but look at the other players, he found that after everyone's eyes were sluggish for a moment, they quickly turned into weirdness, and then changed from weirdness to righteousness...

Many people held their heads high and looked proud, like heroes who died generously.

Cyber:  …

Oh shit.

These performers.

Saibo's face was thin, he couldn't help but wanted to cover his face, but soon realized that he was being tied up and couldn't move.

The next moment, he was brutally tied to one of the stakes by the trial knights.

More than twenty players were tied up, and at the same time, the same number of trial knights came to them.

Each trial knight held a torch in his hand, and there was a bucket of translucent liquid in front of him.

A pungent smell came over, and Cyber ​​recognized that the liquid was an extremely flammable, high-energy magic material refined by alchemists in "The Kingdom of the Elf", called magic fuel.

And soon, along with curses, one civilian after another was brought to the square by the trial knights.

Saibo's eyes narrowed, because he saw a lot of poor people who he preached.

However, the trial knights did not harm them, but only forcibly brought them to the execution ground and forced onlookers.

Soon, more and more civilians gathered here, filling the square.

They stared at the trial knights with angry eyes, daring to speak out.

At the same time, Cyborg also noticed that many familiar sights were cast on him.

"Lord Cyber!"

From the crowd, there were the worried cry of believers.

Facing their anxious eyes, Saibo sighed slightly and smiled warmly at them.

At this time, the black-robed priest stepped onto the wooden platform in the square.

His eyes swept coldly around the crowd, and then he took out a piece of parchment and said coldly:

"In accordance with the Holy Edict of the Pope: The believers of life confuse the world, cause chaos in the world, and spread pagan heresy..."

"The name of eternity cannot be blasphemed, and the majesty of our Lord cannot be challenged. Now, by the hand of the Holy See, the believers of life will be given, and the sinners of paganism will be judged to death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved to the judgement knights, and the judgement knights dumped the magic oil in the barrels on the players.

The crowd of onlookers exclaimed again, calling out the names of the players.

The order at the scene suddenly became a little chaotic.

Facing those familiar gazes, Cyborg mustered up his courage and thick-skinned, and held his head up like other players, seeing death as home...

But soon, he realized that his skin was still too thin.

I saw several players beside him suddenly raised their heads high and shouted proudly:

"Death is not terrible, as long as the faith is true, kill the preacher, and the later ones!"

"Man is inherently dead, or lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai!"

"I believe in life, I die with honor!"

"Despite death, faith lasts forever! For justice, for freedom, and for a better future!"

"Praise nature, praise life, praise the great goddess Eve!"

"Ula!"

Listening to their impassioned anger, the crowd of onlookers became agitated, and many people were moved to tears.

They clenched their fists, gritted their teeth, and looked sad.

Cyber:  …

what……

After listening to the words of the players around him, he now just wants to die quickly.

He seems to be about to see himself on the opening scene animation again...

The flames ignited, and in a fiery glow and intense embarrassment, Cyber's vision fell into darkness...

...

Fall of Eternal Age 1072.

The Eternal Church launched a large-scale search for the life believers who were preaching in the consulate. All the life believers who were caught were tied to the stake and burned to death.

For a time, a large number of players who slipped to the Holy Mania Empire and the Kingdom of Iris to do priest missions experienced the taste of a fire...

During the search process, the trial knights were resisted by a large number of life believers, most of whom were poor converts.

However, after several bloody suppressions, it gradually fell silent.

However, although the riots of the pagans have been suppressed, in the cities of the human kingdom, undercurrents have begun to surging faintly...

In the cities dedicated to the Eternal Lord, the number of believers who enter the Eternal Church to pray every day has not only not increased, but has become increasingly rare.

At the same time, a group of unfamiliar figures also ushered in Larona, the capital of Northern Ayres.

"This is Larona, a rare city in the entire empire that allows believers of other religions to preach freely."

"John, the God-Blessed Church of Life, preached here, and every day a large number of believers come here to visit him..."

"Especially after the Eternal Church began to persecute the preachers of life, more and more believers of life have fled here."

"You don't know Lord John, do you? Many people call him St. John. He came here a few months ago. He has been helping the poor, healing the pain, preaching the faith of the Church of Life, and has a great reputation in Larona. Very tall..."

The boy who led the way said.

Frank, who was riding a white horse, nodded slightly and asked curiously:

"I've heard of him to some extent, and a lot of people here seem to respect him, maybe...I'll visit in a few days too."

"It's just... Can you preach at will here? If I remember correctly, the God-Blessed Adam of the Eternal Church lives in seclusion here, and this place is still under the jurisdiction of the empire..."

After speaking, he tossed a silver coin to the other party again.

"Thank you, Lord Knight!"

While excitedly accepting the silver coin, the boy explained:

"Lord Knight, you are from the north, and you may not know the history here. Larona was once a city built by dwarves and humans. In the past, the mainstream belief here was the church of dwarves."

"Although it was later ruled by the Empire, the mainstream belief was still the Dwarf Church, until the Dwarf Church gradually declined... The Eternal Church occupied the mainstream."

"However, because this is still the belief scope of the Dwarf Church in name, the Eternal Church has not interfered with the beliefs here, and the Dwarf Church has always been open and doesn't care about other churches preaching here..."

After listening to the boy's words, Frank was thoughtful.

But after they entered La Lona and found the church of the Eternal Church, the boy left.

Looking at the sparsely populated Eternal Church in front of him, Frank's eyes were a little emotional.

Along the way, even if he did not deliberately observe him, he noticed that it seemed that the Eternal Church in every place was getting more and more deserted.

After turning over and dismounting, he entered the church accompanied by his personal guard Roland, and handed over the handwritten letter of the visit.

However, when the pastor in charge of the reception saw his name and profile, his originally enthusiastic expression quickly cooled down:

"Frank? Are you the abandoned son of the Rosen family?"

Frank frowned slightly.

He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and nodded lightly:

"Yes, but I have no relationship with the Rosen family anymore."

The pastor shook his head:

"Let's go, Adam is very busy and is not in the church now."

"Can I wait here? Or, when will Lord Adam come back? I can visit on another day..."

Frank asked.

The pastor's expression became more and more impatient. He glanced at Frank and sneered:

"Do you really want me to say it clearly? A sinner who has been deprived of his noble title, still wants to see Lord Adam?"

"you!"

Guard Roland glared at the priest.

However, he was quickly stopped by Frank.

Frank's original smile also faded a bit. He took a deep breath and said:

"I did not come to visit as a nobleman, but as a mercenary, or rather, as an imperial civilian."

"That's even worse. Mr. Adam is very busy. Except for the nobles who have made an appointment in advance, he will not see other guests, let alone ordinary civilians. You should go."

The priest shook his head.

Frank frowned slightly, but quickly covered it up.

"Really... can't we visit?"

He raised his head and looked at the pastor seriously.

The pastor sneered:

"You were also a noble once, and you said nothing, and you are still here asking again and again, what about your decency?"

Frank was silent.

After a while, he sighed and nodded:

"I understand."

"Roland, let's go."

With that, he turned around and walked in the direction he came from.

And just before he took a few steps, he heard the pastor's low laugh again, and his tone was full of disdain:

"A sinner who has been deprived of his title still wants to see Lord Adam? Huh... what a wishful thinking..."

Frank's body froze slightly.

Then, move on.

It's just that the clenched and loosened fist shows that he is not as calm as he seems...

Roland, the personal guard, turned his head and glared at the priest fiercely, and the priest quickly covered his mouth, curled his lips, and turned his head away.

Then, Roland looked at Frank and couldn't help asking:

"Lord Frank, are we still looking for a chance to visit Adam the Blessed?"

Frank was silent for a moment and sighed:

"Let's go see the legendary God-Blessed John first..."
