This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 315 Embrace Evolution! !

late at night.

The sky was as gloomy as ink, and the bright moon that used to cast pure white light on the earth was blocked by layers of dark clouds.

At this time, the city of Trince had already fallen into silence and darkness. There was no one on the street, except for the footsteps of soldiers patrolling at night.

Jon hid in the corner, and the black linen robe on his body hid him in the corner. After a group of patrolling soldiers attacked outside, he carefully crossed the street, turned around in the dark alley, and finally Came to a dirty door of an unremarkable four-story building.

After looking left and right again to make sure there was no one there, Jon stretched out his hand and knocked on the door lightly according to a certain pattern.

Soon, a small palm-sized window opened on the door, and a pair of vigilant eyes looked out.

Jon crossed his arms and folded his chest, whispering.

"Embrace the deep sea, embrace evolution, and thank the Lord for His gift."

There was a click.

The door was opened, and inside was a middle-aged man in a linen black robe. His face was covered with rough skin from the wind and rain, his back was slightly bent, his hands were full of thick calluses, and his body exuded an indelible fishy smell. The taste means that he is a fisherman who fishes for a living.

After putting Jon in, the middle-aged man also crossed his arms and said in a low voice.

"Embrace the deep sea, embrace evolution."

Under the dim light, a few blue scales could be seen growing on the exposed neck of the middle-aged man, surrounded by a piece of gray skin.

The cyan scales moved as if they were alive.

A look of envy suddenly appeared in Jon's eyes. It was the proof that he was rewarded by the priest and drank the water of the deep sea.

It is rumored that this middle-aged man got a gift after drinking the water of the deep sea. Not only can he swim much faster, but he can also move underwater for more than an hour!

This allowed him to catch more fish, earned a lot more silver coins every month, and his life suddenly became much better.

Jon thought to himself, if he could get the reward from the priest and earn more silver coins, then maybe he could ask his wife to make an extra quilt so that the child could sleep warmer at night.

"Why did you arrive so late? It's almost a quarter of an hour late."

Jon cursed in a low voice: "I was delayed for some time to avoid the patrolling soldiers on the road. The patrol route and frequency of those eagle dogs seem to have changed."

The middle-aged man frowned. Jon was brought in by him. If the church's secrets were revealed because of Jon, he would also be punished by the priest.

His tone was serious, his eyes full of doubts, "Did they find you? Did they leave any trace?"

Jon shook his head hastily, "No, I was very careful all the way and never got caught, otherwise they should be chasing me right now!"

The middle-aged man thought about it for the same reason, and then he was relieved a little, and continued: "The other brothers and sisters have arrived, and now you are the only one left."

Jon nodded, and followed the middle-aged man towards the depths of the house.

The middle-aged man was talking while walking.

"Tonight is the church's half-yearly gathering, so the ceremony will be much more complicated, but then the priest will give more water from the deep sea, so that more brothers and sisters can embrace evolution and share the grace bestowed by the Lord .”

The tone gradually became a little excited.

"In addition, I heard that the bishop will attend this gathering!"

Jon froze for a moment, with surprise on his face.

"Really? I heard that the Bishop was conceived and grown in the ocean. He was noticed and blessed by the Lord very early on, and possesses great power?"

The middle-aged man laughed, "You haven't been a Christian for long, so you don't know much. The bishop not only has the power to turn clouds and rain, but he can also contact the Lord frequently."

"So, if you want to get closer to the Lord and obtain His blessings, then the best way is to please the Bishop. Maybe we still have a chance to see the majesty and appearance of the Lord."

The middle-aged man looked at Jon's expectant look, and patted him on the shoulder, "As long as you sincerely offer all your loyalty and faith to the teaching, then sooner or later you will be blessed, get closer to the Lord, and become the chief A faithful believer."

Jon nodded quickly, but what he thought was that if he could get the blessing of the Lord, he would be able to gain great power, and he could use this power to make his family's life better.

The two walked into a deep room. The middle-aged man fumbled on the ground for a while and lifted a floor. Below it was a staircase leading to the ground.

Jon got in with ease, came to the passage at the bottom, walked in by the light of the torches on the walls on both sides, and came to a quite spacious underground hall.

In addition to the one he came to, this underground hall has several passages, and one of them leads directly to the sea, so he can leave quickly in case of danger.

In the underground hall, hundreds of believers dressed in black robes and whose faces could not be seen clearly had gathered, waiting in neat queues one by one. There was no sound or movement in Nuoda's hall.

Jon looked at this scene, his heart trembled, he lowered his footsteps and stood in the last queue, and waited quietly.

Soon, the priest in a silk black robe came out of a passage and came to the front of the hall.

Jon looked up slightly. The priest had shared more blessings from the Lord. His neck was covered with blue scales and his face was covered with gray skin. Compared with the middle-aged man who brought him into the church, the priest Adults have more powerful power.

At the beginning, when Jon first joined the teaching, he felt that the scales and grays were very weird and abnormal, but now he feels that they have a bit of beauty, as if that is what human beings should become and how they should evolve.

As a fisherman, he has been dealing with the ocean for most of his life, and he knows the dangers of the ocean, but he also knows that the ocean is a huge treasure house.

Necessary evolution is indispensable before exploration and excavation.

Only by receiving the gift of the Lord can they, who are born at the bottom, gain enough capital to embrace the endless ocean.

The priest looked at the hundreds of believers in front of him and said in a hoarse voice.

"Thank you brothers and sisters for coming here, and it is a great honor for me to participate in this semi-annual gathering."

"But before the party begins, I need to tell everyone that I am sorry and angry that a traitor has appeared among us!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, and there was a lot of discussion.

The priest looked at the crowd of believers who were either bewildered or angry, and slammed the cane in his hand heavily.

The dull voice echoed in the hall, causing all believers to withdraw their voices.

"I can honestly say that our former brothers and sisters, Baron Bezos, who is also one of the five deacons of Trince City, betrayed us!"

"He took the initiative to tell the enemy about the type of poison that the Bishop gave us, and helped the enemy remove the poison!"

"Otherwise, it is impossible for the enemy to survive until now!"

Jon was shocked, his eyes were full of blankness.

enemy?

The church he joined has enemies?
At this time, he heard a believer in the middle of the team ask.

"My lord priest, who is our enemy?"

The priest looked at him, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"Our enemies are the nobles and the Valencia family that rule Reinhardt!"

As soon as this remark came out, except for a few believers who had no abnormal expressions on their faces, the rest were stunned.

Wait, didn't we all come together to help each other, just to offer our faith to the Lord for strength?

Why did he suddenly jump to the point of being hostile to the noble lord?

Most of the believers present are poor residents. In this hierarchical world, commoners have no capital and ideas to resist the nobles with unlimited resources and absolute force.

They just want to gain strength and earn more money to support their families!
The priest couldn't help but twitched his lips when he saw the reaction of the believers.

The church’s intentions were exposed so early because of helplessness. Baron Bezos was one of their five deacons in Terlings, and was hunted down a few days ago for poisoning the Grand Duke of Valencia.

According to the original plan, those toxins given by the bishop, the tribute mixed with toxins should be borne by Grand Duke Julius of Reinhardt. As long as Julius is poisoned and dies, then the entire Reinhardt There will be great chaos, and then they will be able to recruit believers wantonly and complete the decree issued by the Lord, instead of recruiting believers in such a sneaky way.

The idea is crude and simple, but effective enough.

He knew the power of those toxins. Not only were they colorless, odorless and difficult to detect, but they could not be detected by ordinary means. As long as they drank it, they would be close to death.

With the nobleman Baron Bezos paying tribute, Julius's vigilance will also be greatly reduced.

However, according to the reports of believers in the court, the tribute originally given to Julius was eaten by the Grand Duchess, which caused the plan to fall short, and even Baron Bezos was arrested by following the vine.

He believes that Baron Bezos, who has been in the church for a long time and has been watched by the Lord, will not expose everything about the church, but the failure of the plan will inevitably lead to a huge impact on their missionary activities in Trince City.

Then the pace will naturally be faster.

The captured Baron Bezos will definitely not survive, so let's use him as a primer to ignite the anger of believers.

Seeing the performance of these believers, the priest also had enough mental preparation, and said immediately.

"That's right, our enemies are those nobles who occupy a lot of resources and exploit us from above, especially the Valencia family who rule here!"

"We are ordinary civilians. It is not easy to support our families, but we are always exploited and bullied by those nobles and their minions, which makes our lives even worse!"

"Half of the money from the sale of fishing goods caught from the sea should be allocated as taxes, and the remaining half will be stripped by those rotten and despicable soldiers at the pier. In the end, only the poor half will be in our hands. A silver coin!"

"Is this fair!? Did we deserve this?"

The priest's extremely deceptive words caused resentment to appear on the faces of many believers.

"That's right, those soldiers at the pier always blackmailed me by relying on their identities, and my one-year-old child starved to death because of this!"

"Those soldiers still shield bullies, my poor wife has no place to complain after being insulted!"

"Those nobles look at us like a beast."

All of a sudden, in this closed and dark hall, "many" believers cried out about the evil deeds of the nobles and their minions. This anger and sadness infected other believers, reminding them of the injustice they had suffered .

This made Jon shaken, and the image of himself being bullied by the noble kept flashing in his mind, and he couldn't help but curse, "Damn noble!"

The priest looked at this scene with a look of satisfaction flashing across his face.

Taking advantage of the believer's growing emotions, he said loudly.

"But the appearance of the Lord made all this a turnaround!"

"My lord bishop told me that the Lord is willing to bestow enough gifts to give us the strength to fight against the nobles!"

"As long as the brothers and sisters here are here, they can all receive the blessing personally bestowed by the Bishop!"

In a passage connected to the front of the hall, there was a sudden sound of creeping, and a tall figure came out under the eyes of many believers looking forward to it.

However, his appearance made believers hold their breath.

The humanoid body is a ferocious and weird body, with pale bones exposed, blue-gray muscles intertwined between the bones, a pair of alienated hands with blue-gray sharp nails, the head has long lost the human facial features, replaced by There are several horizontal strips of meat, and there are fin-like organs around the neck and body.

The most creepy thing is that it has no feet, and its movement depends on a skirt made of tentacles and flesh wrapped around its waist, which staggered and squirmed this time.

The priest said in a hoarse voice: "This is a gift from the Lord, we should sincerely accept and praise the Lord's generosity!"

"This is the bishop?"

"Oh my god, it's too disgusting and scary, I don't want to be such a monster"

Such an anti-human appearance caused many believers to immediately feel repulsive, and the previously excited emotions calmed down in an instant.

"I don't want to gain power anymore, I want to quit the church."

A young believer who also just joined the church wanted to leave, but just turned around and ran towards the aisle when he was knocked down to the ground - the priest's hand mutated into a tentacle, piercing the young believer's chest, and the blood flowed quickly under his body. spread.

"Anyone who goes against the will of the Lord will be punished."

The strong smell of blood made other believers feel chills physically and mentally, dispelling the idea of ​​leaving.

Seeing this, the priest had a sneer on his face, turned around and bowed to the monster—His Bishop.

"Your Majesty, please purify these lost believers, let them become us, and return to the embrace of the Lord and the deep sea!"

The bishop wriggled his tentacled skirt and came to the front. A big hole suddenly opened in his chest, and a tiny tentacle stretched out, ruthlessly piercing into the body of the believer at the front.

I saw some liquid was poured into it, the believer's face was distorted, and he howled in pain. He saw countless bumps on his body, his skin peeled off, his face changed, and tentacles protruded from the bumps.
In less than half a minute, the believer turned into a tentacle flesh and blood monster.

This horrifying scene made the other believers tremble and couldn't help but want to escape from here, but without exception, they were killed by the priest with their tentacles, and sent to the mutated tentacled monsters to be eaten by them.

There was kindness in the eyes of the priest, "Eat my brothers and sisters, embrace evolution calmly, this is the gift of the Lord. We are destined to come to this world to fulfill the will of the Lord."

While the cult-like transformation ceremony was going on in the underground hall, there was a sudden knock on the door of the house above.

The middle-aged man leaned against his ear vigilantly and asked in a low voice.

"who is it?"

"Open the door! The Guards of Trins City!"
