National God: Am I regarded as an NPC by the natives?

Chapter 80 Punishment and Justice

In Sadek City, while many people were still confused, a huge temple was built.

The temple is majestic and gives people a sacred and solemn feeling when viewed from a distance.

"I can't find a suitable sculptor to carve the statue of God. What should I do now?"

Visio squatted in the center of the temple, frowning and looking at Jessica beside him.

"Wait a minute. Before Archbishop Qiu Ge left, I had already asked him to help find a master sculptor."

"Guangming City is the core city of the Guangming Cult. There are many talents there. I hope that when Archbishop Qiu Ge comes back, he can help bring back one or two master sculptors. Otherwise, we can only place our hopes on distant towns and cities."

Jessica also looked helpless. The temple had been built, but there was no statue of the god to occupy it. It was really a mistake.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

"Has the temple been built? You have done a good job."

Mana slowly walked in from the door wearing a white robe.

"High Priest Mana, why are you here?" Visio turned around and asked in shock.

"We got absolutely no word that you were coming."

"The scriptures have been summarized, so I will be responsible for the affairs of Sadek City next."

"Sardek City will be a new chapter for the Holy Light, the first city established by the Holy Light Religion. We must be solemn."

"As for the matter about the master sculptor, if Archbishop Qiu Ge has not solved it after he comes back, I will find a way."

"Now, tell me what's going on in Sadek City. What other forces are resisting us? Is anyone causing trouble?"

Mana's expression gradually turned cold. Anyone who dared to block the expansion of the Holy Light was a heretic and needed to be eliminated.

"Most of the forces in Sadek City have already conquered and accepted the rule of the Holy Light. Even the Light Cult has gradually chosen to downplay it during this period. A large number of employees have chosen to join the Holy Light Cult." Visio immediately road.

"But there are still a few heretics in Sadek City."

"One is the Dark Moon Cult that existed before we arrived. These people hiding in the shadows have been wanted by the Light Cult, but unfortunately they have never been found."

"There is also the Adventurer Center. They consider themselves to be the adventurers' union across the continent. They have been unwilling to surrender, and they are not even willing to let our people join the union."

"The other one is City Lord Lawrence Kedar. Lawrence Kedar is one of several major families in the Kingdom of Kewell. He is a descendant of the Lawrence family. Because of the powerful family power behind them, they are always promoting that we should be the same as the Light God Religion. "

"As a church, it should not interfere with the stable rule of a kingdom, let alone attempt to control a city."

Jessica then said: "The Dark Moon Cult is extremely hidden and has penetrated many forces in this city. The Light Cult is not in the Kingdom of Light, so it has been unable to suppress them with all its strength due to its status. .”

"So we currently only know some places where the Dark Moon Cult may exist."

"Adventurer Center, we can't draw a conclusion. After all, many aliens were originally members of the adventurers."

"As for Lawrence Kedar, he is a strong man at the peak of the third level of extraordinary. He also has a city guard army under his command. The extraordinary has an army of thousands of people, and ordinary soldiers have nearly 10 people."

Mana frowned slightly when she heard this.

The defense force of Sadek City is a little too strong. Thousands of extraordinary troops, plus nearly 10 ordinary people forming an army, are really troublesome to deal with.

Sadek City is the only main city of the Kweir Kingdom near the Endless Mountains.

There are only some principalities and the Kingdom of Light in the countries nearby them, as well as the Canglan Empire, the largest empire in mankind.

Their biggest danger is the tide of beasts that may appear in the direction of the Endless Mountains, so the city's defense force will naturally be very strong.

"The third level of extraordinary peak? Then take me to meet him first and see why he has the courage to stop the Holy Light."

"Yes!" Visio's face showed excitement when he heard this.

"Jessica, you are coming too, and by the way, you are bringing a team of ten Holy Light Warriors with you," Mana said.

"Although we may not fight if we go there this time, we cannot let our Lord lose face."

"I didn't have time to come here before, and you couldn't deal with him. Now it's time to let him know the consequences of blocking the Holy Light."

With the arrival of Mana, the White Wings in Sadek City seemed to have found a backbone.

Under the leadership of Mana, a group of 13 people quickly arrived at the location of the Lord's Mansion of Sadek City.

"Priest Jessica! And Commander Visio!"

A guard in charge of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion looked at Jessica and Visio with a solemn expression on his face.

During this period, there was so much noise in the construction of the Holy Light Temple, but everyone in Sadek City basically knew about it.

As the guards of the city lord's palace, they have very sharp eyesight and need to pay attention to all kinds of people. They should pay attention to which people in the city must not be messed with.

Jessica and Visio, for these guards, are names that they often hear recently.

Naturally, he will also get to know the two of them.

"I want to see Lawrence Kedar and ask him to come out." Visio said coldly.

"Please wait a moment, I will inform the Lord of the City immediately."

When the guards heard this, they immediately sent someone in to inform the city lord.

As a guard of the City Lord's Mansion, he was naturally aware of the relationship between the City Lord's Mansion and the Holy Light Church.

At this time, my palms couldn't help but start to sweat, worried that the other party would forcefully break in.

But fortunately, Mana didn't plan to break in with everyone.

Soon, a man with a beard walked out of the city lord's palace.

"Priest Jessica, and Commander Visio, I wonder why you came here?" There was a hint of evil in the man's eyes, and his eyes were full of desire when he looked at the two of them.

Mana noticed the other party's gaze and said coldly: "Are you Lawrence Kedar? The person who wants to disobey and block the Holy Light?"

At this time, Kedar also noticed Mana. The moment he saw Mana, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then his expression became wary.

"This kind of momentum is the pinnacle of the third level of extraordinary. I don't remember that there is a person like you in the Holy Light Church."

"A mere mortal would also like to try to understand the matters under the command of the gods. Sure enough, you are a person with evil intentions towards the Holy Light and should be punished."

Mana did not answer according to his words.

"Holy Light? Haha, I admit that gods are indeed great, but even the Light Cult has never had the idea of ​​interfering with other kingdoms. Why do you, the Holy Light Church, want to interfere in the political affairs of our Kingdom of Kewell?"

Kedar was not frightened by Mana's words, but instead cited the Light Cult to refute Mana.

"I am not here to discuss the Light God Religion with you this time. The Light God Religion is the Light God Religion's own affairs. The Holy Light Church has the teachings of the Holy Light God Church. If you regard us as the Light God Religion, you can only say that you wrong."

Mana's expression remained unchanged and she just spoke coldly.

"I came here today for only one purpose, to tell you one thing, surrender! Or die!"

"There is no doubt about the greatness of the Holy Light. Anyone who dares to block the Holy Light, even the king of a kingdom, will be judged."

When Kedar heard this, his expression changed slightly. The Church of Holy Light seemed to be different from the Church of Light.

However, his inherent concept still made him regard holy light and light as similar things.

"Does the Holy Light Church, which claims to be just and merciful, want to go to war with the Kingdom of Kwell because of my personal disapproval?" Kedar said seriously.

"Starting a war over this matter and causing the kingdom to be devastated is not what a church that claims to be benevolent should do."

"If you continue to obstruct it, I think it will happen if the Kingdom of Keweir chooses to shelter a heretic like you." Mana said in a cold tone.

"Although Holy Light is also a type of light, why is Holy Light called Holy Light?"

"The Holy Light is sacred, noble, and cannot be questioned. All heretics will be purified."

Mana stated the core teachings of the Holy Light Church and the differences between the Holy Light Church and the Light God Religion.

Different from the teachings of the Illuminati Cult, the Illuminati Cult mainly focuses on kindness and redemption, and will only promote the use of force when necessary.

The teachings of the Holy Light Church are punishment and justice. When encountering heretics and enemies, they will directly use force and then choose to use gentle means.

Kedar's face turned ugly when he heard this. "Who are you?"

"Mana, the white-winged man under the command of the God of Holy Light, the high priest of the Holy Light Church." When she mentioned the god, Mana's tone became solemn.

"Now tell me your choice. If you continue to block the Holy Light, we will regard you as an enemy. Anyone who dares to protect you will be judged as a heretic by the Holy Light Church."

"Two, surrender here and repent of your sins for the rest of your life."

"Three, resign as city lord, and we will let you go."

Listening to what Mana said, Kedar looked around.

Following Kedar's gaze, many guards lowered their heads.They could spread some remarks according to Kedar's orders, and even face the Holy Light Church with weapons in hand, but they didn't have the courage to actually fight.

"Damn, what a bunch of cowards."

Kedar looked ugly and cursed a few words.

"It is impossible for me to surrender. If you want to take my life, then take action, provided that you can bear the consequences."

"I, Lawrence Kedar, am one of the four major families in the Kingdom of Kerver, the second son of the head of the Lawrence family, and the Earl of the Kingdom of Kerver."

Even at this moment, Kedar still had no fear in his heart.

"If you kill me, you will be provoking a war with the Kingdom of Kweir."

"All the people who died died because of you. Then how could you have the face to face the God of Holy Light, who represents justice?"

Just when the atmosphere was tense and Mana was about to take action, a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Brothers, what did I see? Canglan World's version of moral kidnapping."

An adventurer in civilian clothes shouted from a distance.

In the live broadcast room, barrages appeared one after another.

"666, [Canglan World] is indeed a cross-century game. The intelligence of the NPCs in it really makes me cry to death. They can even do tricks like moral kidnapping."

"I just don't know how High Priest Mana is going to deal with this kind of moral kidnapping. As a believer of the God of Light who represents justice, this choice should still be very difficult for her, right?"

"Indeed, if the city lord is killed, then Mana will have to bear the lives of many people who died because of the war. Taking the initiative to provoke a war is indeed too painful for the righteous camp."

"Upstairs, didn't you hear what High Priest Mana said before? Their teachings are about punishment and justice, not redemption and mercy."

"Do you understand punishment and justice? Something like Holy Light Judge, Holy Light Judge, Holy Light Punisher and the like."

"Based on what was said upstairs, I briefly summarized it. Generally speaking, the Bright Church tries to reason first, but only when it really doesn't make sense does it take action when there is no other way."

"The Holy Light Church takes action first, and after convincing you that you don't dare to resist, it will then reason with you."

"This doctrinal explanation is incisive!"

Not to mention everyone's speculation in the live broadcast room, the stranger was just a sideshow to Mana and the others.

A stranger who has not yet become a transcendent means nothing to them.

Hearing Kedar's words, holy light appeared in Mana's hand, and a long sword was condensed and pointed at Kedar.

"I really don't want to cause war in the Kingdom of Keweil due to my fault, nor do I want a large number of people to die."

Hearing Mana's words, Kwell's lips raised, showing a confident look.

The comments posted by everyone in the live broadcast room also became sad.

"Sure enough, even the intelligent AI in the game world cannot stop the power of moral kidnapping."

But at this moment, Mana changed her words.

"But the majesty of the gods is inviolable, and the expansion of the holy light is unstoppable."

"Looking at you, you probably choose to continue to block me, so I'll give you a chance. We have a duel. If you defeat me, I will leave today. If you fail, you will die here."

"If the Kingdom of Keweir wants to go to war because of this, then go ahead. If you dare to offend the majesty of the gods and choose to go to war, you will be worthy of your death."

Kedar wanted to say something when he heard this, but Mana didn't give him a chance.

"I will give you three bells to prepare. After three bells, whether you are ready or not, I will launch a unilateral attack."

"three!"

"two!"

Realizing that Mana was serious, Kedar couldn't help but sweat broke out on his forehead.

As a city lord, it had been a long time since he had fought.

He is usually accustomed to using words and force to solve problems, but he seems to be very unaccustomed to fighting.

"I surrender!" Kedar shouted.

"One"

Unfortunately, Mana, who had already started counting, ignored Kedar's attitude at this moment.

This is her first time to take action. As the supreme ruler under the Holy Light Church, she must show her decisive attitude.

The teachings of the Holy Light Church are punishment and justice. If even she is timid, then others will be even more so.

What is the point of punishment?How does justice expand?

The Sword of Glory was swung out by Mana, leaving a bloody mark on Kedar's face.

"This is a lesson. Now that you have started fighting, if you continue to pretend not to resist, your heart will be pierced next time."

Hearing this, Kedar finally felt fear in his heart, but by this time it was already too late.

He has been chosen by Mana as the person who will demonstrate the decisive methods of the Holy Light Church. Even if she immediately kneels down to beg for mercy, Mana will not stop.

Kedar had no choice but to take out the sword that had been used as decoration for many years and put it on his waist.

Fortunately, although he has not fought for a long time, power still fascinates him, and he still insists on meditating every day. Although he is not used to it, he is not completely incapable of fighting.

"boom!"

The sharp sword meets the glorious sword.

When Mana saw Kedar fighting back, she immediately became serious.

With the wings spread out on her back, Mana flew into the air, and several rays of holy light appeared on her body and turned into chains and shot toward Kedar.

With a powerful deterrent, the chain hit Kedar at an extremely fast speed. A chain bound Kewell's sword and spread along the sword towards Kedar's arm.

Following this chain, there were several more chains coming behind him.

During the chain attack, Mana's hands were not idle. The shining sword in her hand became illusory and gradually transformed into a silver long bow.

Opening the bow and setting up an arrow, the holy light energy gathers on the long bow, and the arrow of light can be shot out only after the elements are gathered together.

Kedar naturally saw this scene. Although he had not fought for a long time, the fighting instinct left behind from the past made him immediately realize that he should give up the sword in his hand to avoid being entangled in the chains.

Kedar let go of his hands and took a few steps back quickly.

A necklace in his hand flickered, and a spear reappeared in his hand.

The blue flames condensed on the spear, and red elements rose up from Kedar's body to form a barrier.

As Kedar stabbed forward with the spear in his hand, a blue flame python was shot out along the spear.

"It's not that easy to kill me. You guys, hurry up and notify the commanders and ask them to come over for support."

The flame python released by Kedar helped him block the attack of the arrow of light, and he hurriedly shouted to the guards not far away.

After hearing this, several guards immediately ran away.

Visio wanted to chase, but Mana stopped him.

"Don't worry about it. The battle will be almost over when they come back. If the other party has the courage to attack us, let's judge them together."

Mana didn't care when she saw the attack being resisted.

As the city lord of the Kwell Kingdom and a third-level transcendent person, it would be disappointing if Kedar couldn't even block this attack.

Kedar's identity means that he will not lack resources, and there will be no shortcomings in weapons or combat skills.

The only shortcoming may be the problem of fighting instinct.

It just so happened that Mana had not fought since she entered the third level of Transcendence, so she could take advantage of this opportunity to know what level she had reached now.

The two fought again.

As Mana muttered in a low voice, a sword of holy light with a sacred aura appeared in the sky and shot towards Kedar.

Kewell wanted to repeat his old trick and once again released the giant python combat skill to block the blow.

But this time he discovered that the giant python was completely useless in front of the Sword of Holy Light.

The holy sword of light is like a sharp sword that judges sin, and all resistance will be cut off.
