Volume 7 Coral Chapter 627: Path to the Holy Fire
Neil was not killed by the Miller father and son.
His uncle used a strange powder to stop his bleeding and even numb his pain, and then he roughly drove him back to his residence next to the cesspool.
Before leaving the main building of the castle, Miller said quietly behind him:
"Neil, this is just a small punishment for you... As long as you stay in Blackhorn Castle obediently, I won't kill you. I have watched you grow up since you were a child. I know that you are a smart person and you should know how to make choices."
Neil lowered his head and made a strange sound in response.
Then the trembling, hunched figure disappeared into the distance.
"Father, why don't you kill him?"
Korudut frowned and asked in a low voice.
Under the night sky, Miller stood at the entrance of the main building with his elbows folded, and said calmly:
"Neil Lucius cannot die yet. After all, Black Horn Territory was once Birch's territory. Several knight territories are not convinced by us. Killing this kid rashly will only increase the uncertainty. Just keep an eye on him..."
"But father!"
Kelu said anxiously.
"Kelu, you will be the master of Blackhorn Territory in the future, and even the lord of Yadan Territory and even a larger area... You must learn to judge the situation and not act recklessly."
Miller turned around and looked at his eldest son with a serious expression.
Kelu's words got stuck in his throat, but he finally swallowed them back.
"Don't worry. One month from now, you will lead the troops yourself, take Neil to the battlefield, and follow your uncle Carl to attack Yadan Territory... find an opportunity to kill that kid under the enemy's sword. In this way, those people in Black Horn Territory will not be able to hold us responsible. After all, Neil Lucius died on the battlefield. We will then give him a grand burial and take over this place legitimately."
Miller stroked the hilt of the British Lion Sword and spoke calmly.
He particularly liked the shiny and smooth lion head decoration on the sword's pommel.
…
…
…
Neil returned to his residence.
As soon as he entered the door, he fell to his knees in pain.
He opened his mouth, but his numb tongue made it difficult for him to utter complete sentences. His bloodshot eyes stared at his right hand.
A broken hand, with the thumb missing.
He could no longer lift a sword, and even basic farm tasks became difficult for him.
Neil knew that Uncle Miller had ruined him.
The reason he was not killed was simply because the time was not right.
"Snake...snake..."
Neil spoke with difficulty, trying to call upon that great being.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't explain it clearly.
Tears fell down uncontrollably.
He hates!
Endless hatred devoured his heart!
He wants revenge!
Revenge must be taken!
Otherwise, I won’t even be willing to die with my eyes closed!
"You are already a waste, Neil Lucius."
Deep in my heart, that deep and magnetic male voice rang out.
Neil listened to these words, but he did not feel any emotional fluctuations, no ridicule, no pity, just a calmness that was frightening.
He wanted to tell the great Lord Snake that he was not dead yet and could still do things for Him, but he could only stammer and utter a bunch of weird sentences that were difficult to understand.
Neil panicked.
Lord Snake is his only chance to turn the tables, if even He leaves.
Then I would be lying in this quagmire of despair, waiting for death.
"What else can you do for me?"
Lord Snake's voice came again.
Neil screamed excitedly, stood up, and pounded his left chest hard, where his heart was.
Boom! Boom!!
He kept on beating, beating hard.
This shows your determination.
"You want to give me your heart, body, and even soul, right?"
Chen Lun smiled faintly.
Neil nodded frantically, blood flowing from his numb lips all over the floor. He even prostrated himself on the floor, kneeling desperately.
"Everything about you is too cheap for me, Neil."
The male voice in my heart said so.
Neil froze.
But soon, the voice said again:
"So I need to rewrite the rules for this deal. What I give you today, you must return tenfold or even a hundredfold in the future... Can you do it?"
“Woo! Woo!!”
Neil cried with joy and danced with joy.
"very good."
As soon as the words fell.
He then discovered that there was an extra piece of meat in his mouth.
The tongue has grown back!
Looking down at my palm again, my thumb is back!
"Mr. Snake! Thank you for your gift! Neil will serve you all his life. If he betrays you, he will die a miserable death! He will be damned forever!"
Neil's voice trembled as he growled devoutly and fanatically.
Only when you lose something, you know its value.
At this moment, he made up his mind completely.
At the same time, the desire for revenge is even stronger!
"very good."
Chen Lun was very satisfied with this guy's determination.
…
…
…
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Millerdut, wearing a black cotton suit with a cloak on the outside, brought his eldest son Kelu, second son Fok and the other eight children, accompanied by several knights, to a village several kilometers away from Blackhorn Castle.
The Redemption Church of Blackhorn Territory is right at the entrance of the village.
Neil followed the dozens of guards silently on the muddy dirt road in the countryside, keeping his lips tightly shut and wrapping his right thumb with gauze as a disguise.
After all, he was still under strict surveillance by the Duterte family. Even during mass activities, he would stay by Master Fokke's side as a knight's attendant.
This Redemption Church is not big, about the size of a shed warehouse for storing hay. On top of the sloping roof stands a flaming cross.
A middle-aged man in a blue robe stood upright at the door.
His hair was gray, but he looked energetic. He held a copy of "The Redemption Ring" in his hand and stared at the approaching team with bright eyes.
"Baron Miller, the weather is nice today, let's hold the mass outside the church..."
The missionary smiled and spoke.
"Of course, Reverend Jordan."
Miller raised his right hand, raised five fingers, placed his palm against his left shoulder, with his fingers above his shoulder, and bent slightly.
A standard Redemption Church prayer was performed towards him.
Soon, Miller arranged his heirs to stand side by side, and even the guards and knights were no exception. They would all receive the blessing and test of Pastor Jordan.
This is an indispensable process in every region of the Kingdom of Morris and even the Glorious Empire. During the monthly mass, the Church of Redemption will bless and test the residents.
This comes from the Far North Holy Land of Klein, where Pope Blue once issued a decree.
Demons are hiding in the world, bringing disaster to the people of the land of salvation. Only by staying vigilant at all times can the light of peace and stability spread throughout the world.
The seven empires that believed in the God of Fire all obeyed.
Pastor Jordan opened the Bible in one hand and held a candle in the other. He first said to Miller:
"Fire shines on the earth, and shadows reveal evil thoughts. Hate me for punishment, and love my commandments."
puff!
Pastor Jordan snapped his fingers, and a drop of hot wax appeared on his fingertips, which he then gently pressed on Miller's forehead.
Miller closed his eyes with a pious expression.
Praise in your mouth:
"Redemption of my heart."
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but everyone felt that Baron Miller’s figure was purer and more energetic.
"Very good, you are still as pious as ever."
Pastor Jordan smiled.
Miller bowed in response.
Soon, it was Kolu's turn, and the process was exactly the same as his father's. First, a Jordanian priest recited a prayer, and then a drop of hot wax was imprinted on his forehead.
In the back, Neil lowered his eyes, feeling quite nervous and uneasy.
"Sir Snake, will something happen? What if we are discovered?!"
He muttered to himself.
Chen Lun focused his attention on the Jordanian pastor and thought to himself:
'Is this the extraordinary person of the Church of Redemption?'
He wanted to test the mysterious power of the outer continent, so he was happy to let Neil accept the so-called blessing and test, so he replied calmly:
"Don't show your fear, just keep a calm mind."
"Yes...I understand, Mr. Snake."
Neil said in his mind.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since Lord Snake didn't care at all, Pastor Jordan would probably not be able to discover that he was "possessed by a demon."
Soon, all the direct descendants of the Dutt family had received the blessing and test. With smiles on their faces, they felt their bodies were more energetic and hurriedly thanked the pastor.
When it was Neil's turn, he saluted Pastor Jordan, and immediately saw a slight frown on the old pastor's face.
His heart skipped a beat.
"Fire shines on the earth, and shadows reveal evil thoughts. Hate me for punishment, and love my commandments."
Pastor Jordan muttered softly.
Immediately, his fingers moved over the candle, and the wax droplets quickly imprinted on Neil's brow.
However, it was this moment of contact.
Chen Lun suddenly exerted his strength.
[You used "Mind Steal"...]
[Judging the will...]
[The target "Jordan Dylan" has a willpower of 31 points, and your willpower is 132 points. The judgment is passed! ]
The invisible force instantly captured the information in Pastor Jordan's mind and stole it all into Chen Lun's consciousness.
In addition to some secrets about the Redemption Church, he also got the most important thing -
Knowledge!
The Church of Redemption believes in the God of Fire "Blueforin", and the mysterious power that is inspired and accepted, an extraordinary road called "The Path of Holy Fire"!
Pastor Jordan is the Sequence Nine [Dancer].
It can increase the body's flexibility, agility, and affinity and tolerance to fire.
In addition, because Jordan performed his duties diligently and stayed in the Black Horn for more than ten years, with the permission of the Holy Land Klein, the Redemption Church of the Morris Kingdom sent the knowledge of Sequence Eight last month.
Now, it happened to be stolen by Chen Lun.
Sequence Eight [Commander]!
Based on the original [Dancer], this sequence not only enhances the previous characteristics, but also acquires the first sequence ability, which is to influence others through body language and command the target to perform some simple instructions.
'interesting……'
Chen Lun said secretly.
At this time.
Pastor Jordan put down his hand, and in the eyes of everyone's doubt, he said in a deep voice:
"Neil Lucius, are you being haunted by a demon?"
Neil's pupils shrank sharply.
Pastor Jordan lowered his eyes and continued while holding the candle:
"Don't worry, kid. Just tell me the truth. I will protect you on behalf of the Church of Redemption."
