Volume 7 Coral Chapter 632: Experience
Evil demon from outer space? !
Neil sat in the chair, not understanding what the old pastor meant.
He took a deep breath and looked around.
The flames were gone.
Four pastors of the Redemption Church were also burned to ashes by the flames.
Although Neil didn't know what happened, he had a hunch that the priests must have died because of His Excellency Snake...
After all, the distance was close and he could see clearly.
The four priests had clearly seen something horrible; before they spontaneously combusted, the fear and panic on their faces were quite obvious.
This made Neil feel sad.
The awe in my heart for Lord Snake became even stronger.
“Could it be that… just by witnessing the true appearance of Lord Snake, he was attacked and spontaneously combusted, burning to death on the spot?!”
Neil guessed secretly.
At this time, he noticed that Pastor Jordan stood up from the ground with difficulty.
I don’t know if it was because the old priest did not fully participate in the ceremony that he survived, but there was still awe and sigh on his face.
Pastor Jordan picked up the Bible, hesitated for a long time, and said in a deep voice:
"Child, the being inside you... is extremely powerful and dangerous. I'm afraid that even the Redemption Church of Rainbow Island or even the entire Morris Kingdom cannot suppress it, and I am powerless to do anything about it."
The old pastor seemed to have put life and death aside. He bravely walked forward and stood in front of Neil.
He lowered his head, and his cloudy but bright eyes looked directly at Neil.
"Let's go, leave here, and run far away, so that the Blue Flame Priests from the Holy City of Klein won't track us down..."
Jordan put down the Bible he was holding and placed it on the dining table.
"This is my farewell gift to you. The content of the last chapter of Volume 5 can give you the answer... Remember, don't forget yourself. Never, never forget yourself!"
"Reverend Jordan?"
Neil was extremely confused as he listened to the old pastor talking about a bunch of incomprehensible things. He stood up and was about to ask something.
But Pastor Jordan took a step back, took out the candle, and said painfully:
"Lord, I am guilty..."
Bear!!
The old pastor lit himself with the candle, and a terrible flame ignited. He wailed in a low voice and rolled on the ground, but soon burned into a charred human figure.
Neil stared at the scene and was deeply shocked.
The old pastor had been silently paying attention to himself from the beginning, and later tried to protect himself. But now, in order to redeem himself, he chose to commit suicide out of guilt and pain of failure.
Mr. Snake...
Is it that scary?
Is He really an evil being?
Will it bring disaster to the world?
But why...
Neil struggled for a moment.
In the end, he still firmly chose to keep his promise and believe in Lord Snake wholeheartedly.
Neil sat back in his chair and spoke after a long silence:
"Butler Rolf."
The old butler shuddered.
He stood up tremblingly and answered quickly.
"Ni... Lord Neil."
"Please help me count the taxes collected from Blackhorn Territory this year and the private treasury of Millerdutt, and convert them all into gold and silver."
Neil took a deep breath and said lightly.
Rolf seemed to have guessed something, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, and he nodded hurriedly.
"Yes sir, no problem!"
After saying this, the old housekeeper hurried upstairs.
Neil stared at the book "Redemption Rings" left to him by Pastor Jordan and pondered for a moment.
He had originally planned to leave here, and after listening to Pastor Jordan's final warning, he became more determined to do so.
“The answer…is hidden in the Bible?”
Neil opened the tome with doubt.
This Bible looks quite old, and the hard blue cover has turned a little yellow. One can imagine that the old pastor holds it in his hands, flips through it, and studies the doctrines inside every day.
He turned directly to the back and found the last chapter of Volume Five.
Volume 5, Chapter 10: Threats from Heaven, the Wasteland, and Beyond
Neil looked through the pages carefully, frowning in the light of the torches on the wall.
"So... the world is so big?!"
His expression grew more shocked.
The Bible records that the Kingdom of Morris is only one of the sixteen kingdoms of the Glorious Empire, while the other nine empires are located in the east, west, south, and north of the Beretta continent. In the center, there is a huge ocean filled with a fog that never dissipates, and no one knows what is hidden in it.
According to legend, there is an island in the sky above the entire continent, which is called "Heaven".
It is not inhabited by friendly angels or gods.
But it is the extremely evil "Sky Demon"!
Outside the nine empires, there are many unexplored areas, which are called "wasteland", and there are also "wasteland demons" as terrible as "sky demons".
Of course, there is another demon that can be compared with these two.
That is the "Devil of Heaven".
This is a terrifying existence that originates from outside the continent.
"So Pastor Jordan recognized Lord Snake... He is a 'Devil'?!"
Neil's eyes widened.
However, he did not know that Lord Snake was looking at the description in the Bible with him at this moment.
"Demon? Haha, interesting... It seems that the extraordinary people from the outer continent have also been attacked by the high-ranking people from the Sun Continent before?"
Chen Lun was very interested.
He began to become interested in the so-called "Sky Island Paradise" and "Unknown Wasteland". What exactly are the so-called "Sky Demon" and "Wasteland Demon"?
'Perhaps... it is a supernatural being or a path-transcendent being born from the corruption of other Old Outer Gods?'
Chen Lun guessed secretly.
Not long.
Butler Rolf walked down the stairs carrying a large box with difficulty.
He came to the dining table and put the box down.
With a clang.
The lid of the box was opened, revealing the glittering gold and silver coins inside.
"Lord Neil, this is the private vault of Miller Dutt. There are a total of 45 Fire Emblem Golds and 2,124 Fire Emblem Silvers... The remaining taxes have not yet been paid. We need to wait another two months."
The old butler looked embarrassed.
Neil waved his hand.
"Go to Fok's room and pack a few sets of clothes. I'm going on a long journey. Oh, and also prepare a horse, five days of dry food and water for me."
"Yes, Master Neil."
After hearing these words, Rolf confirmed his guess and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Neil looked at the box of coins and sighed.
It's not convenient to carry such a heavy thing.
So he had no choice but to put the gold coins into a leather bag and grabbed several handfuls of silver coins.
Fortunately, the fire-patterned silver coin is only the size of a fingernail and is relatively light.
When everything was ready, Neil went back to the armory to find a set of leather armor to put on, put on a black cloak, carried his uncle's original British Lion sword on his back, and rode away from Blackhorn Castle...
…
…
…
Time flies and two months have passed.
Neil traveled all the way, following the map he bought from a traveling merchant, he stumbled northward along the coastline and unexpectedly arrived at Greenshade Port, the border area of the Kingdom of Morris.
There is a war going on here.
The port owner Ivar responded to the call of the empire and attacked the Kingdom of Faz adjacent to the port, which was the territory of the Mera Empire.
The two sides have been fighting for more than a month , and the battle is now at its most intense.
Neil encountered robbers many times on the road, but those unlucky guys were all killed by his sword, which also increased his combat experience and mysterious accumulation.
When he arrived at Greenshade Port, he had reached the limit of [Dancer] and was only one step away from becoming [Commander].
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he simply changed his name to Nils, joined the Green Shade Port mercenary group as a wandering mercenary, and participated in the war.
This was also the advice given to him by Lord Snake.
Fighting on the battlefield can not only quickly accumulate secrets, but also improve combat experience, which is helpful for subsequent promotions.
As an extraordinary swordsman with superb swordsmanship, although Neil is young, he quickly made a name for himself on the battlefield.
Many mercenaries who initially looked down on him were dumbfounded in the end.
Because this kid, relying on a lion-head cross sword, was invincible on the battlefield and even set a horrifying record of killing a hundred people in one day.
The name of Nils, the "Hundred-Man Killer", became famous throughout Greenshade Harbor in just one month.
In the following months.
The Green Shade Port camp was unstoppable and directly attacked Mantovani, a strategic bridgehead of the Kingdom of Faz.
Here, Neil, who had been promoted to Sequence Eight [Commander] and served as a mercenary squad leader, rode a horse and led a squad of more than 20 people, stabbing into the heart of the enemy camp like a sharp knife.
Leaving a bloody trail behind, he rushed straight to the enemy general.
The bearded general was a burly man, but when he saw the blond boy on horseback, coming towards him covered in blood with the British Lion sword in his hand, he showed a look of fear.
The reputation of "The Killer of a Hundred Men" had already spread here.
The general turned around and ran away, leaving behind a dozen personal guards to cover his retreat.
However, an unforgettable scene appeared.
The young man raised his left hand wearing a leather glove, made some strange gestures in the air, and finally kept his fist clenched.
The guards were like puppets being controlled. They didn't even wave their weapons and just ran forward stupidly until they were beheaded by the cross sword!
"A superhuman?! He is actually a missionary hidden in the army from the Church of Redemption... Despicable! Shameless! Breaking the rules!"
The bearded general's face changed drastically, and he cursed under his breath while riding away on his horse.
However, he was soon caught up by Neil.
The originally panicked face suddenly froze.
His eyes were filled with unspeakable fear, and his body was suddenly out of control. He jumped off the horse and fell heavily to the ground.
Then he watched the young man ride past him on horseback.
The sword cut across his neck.
The last thing that caught the eye was the silver lion head decoration on the sword head.
"Nevis!"
"Hundreds of people killed!"
"The enemy general is dead!!"
The mercenary team and the friendly forces around saw this scene and shouted loudly. Neil stopped his horse, holding the blood-stained cross sword with a smile on his face.
But soon, Neil's smile disappeared.
“Cough! Cough cough!!”
He started coughing for no apparent reason, which became more and more violent, with brown, red, smelly blood flowing out of his mouth.
Amid the screams of countless people, he fell off his horse and fell to the ground.
In his blurred vision, Neil saw that the bearded general he had killed had blisters all over his body!
He recalled the rumors he had heard these days, and suddenly realized that he had been plotted against...
He was ambushed by a transcendent being unique to the Mera Empire!
Chen Lun, who was hiding in Neil's body, witnessed all this and was surprised because this extraordinary method made him feel familiar.
'Isn't this the branch of the natural path, the sequence ability of Sequence Seven [Plague Doctor]?'
But on second thought, Chen Lun wasn't quite sure.
'No... To be precise, this should be the power of the "God of Plague" worshipped by the Mera Empire, the complete path radiated by His source sin!'
