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

Chapter 81 Sudden Plague

The sacred sword seems to be a holy arrow that judges the sins of the world, and the giant python cannot resist it at all.

Kedar could only frown and quickly used more powerful moves.

A pill appeared in Kedar's hand. He swallowed the pill and his aura suddenly increased.

Then the spear in Kedar's hand was also occupied by blue flames, and for a moment a huge blue spear blocked the sacred sword.

Mana was not surprised when she saw this. Although the sacred sword was a powerful combat skill, she just continued to attack.

However, as long as it is a combat skill, there is an upper limit on energy release.

Kedar had already used the python shadow to block part of the power of the sacred sword.

Coupled with the fact that he had taken some kind of elixir, it was not surprising that he was able to resist the sacred sword.

After all, the sacred sword is just a combat skill learned at the second level of transcendence.

After taking some kind of elixir that could improve combat effectiveness, Kedar became no longer afraid, his eyes gradually became filled with murderous intent, and he began to take the initiative to attack Mana.

In a short time, Mana had already exchanged more than a dozen moves with Kedar.

It has to be said that as the lord of a major city, the second son of the Lawrence family, Kedar, who has countless inheritances, still has certain strength.

Among the opponents Mana has ever encountered, Kedar is the only one who has been able to compete at the same level as her for such a long time.

Of course, the reason for this is that Mana has not yet adapted to the peak strength of the extraordinary third level.

However, Kedar has not fought all year round, and his condition is not much better than Mana.

Being able to draw with the Holy Light Magician profession created by Di Qiu himself is enough to show that these big families are not simple.

It's just a pity that after successive battles, Mana was still superior after all.

The sacred light flashed, and bows, arrows, spears, holy swords, iron chains, and various weapons were continuously condensed by Mana.

One combat skill attack after another, even if the opponent is not directly killed by one attack, it is enough to contain Kedar's attack.

As the battle lasted longer, Mana became more and more accustomed to fighting at the third level of the extraordinary, and she became more and more comfortable fighting against Kedar.

With the two talents of Magical Heart and Holy Light Affinity, Mana does not consume much in battle.

On the other hand, on Kedar's side, the longer the battle lasted, the effect of the elixir became weaker and weaker.

Coupled with the long-term fighting, more and more magic power in the body is consumed.

Kedar, who had been concentrating on fighting and whose momentum was soaring, was suddenly hit by an iron chain turned into light when no one could catch him.

"You lose! Prepare to be judged!"

Mana shouted, and a ball of sacred flames gathered in her hands.

A combat skill that can only be understood after reaching the third level of extraordinary; baptism of holy fire, released by Mana.

The extremely sacred flame seemed to be able to burn away sins, and the holy fire came into contact with Kedar.

As the holy fire ignited him, a cloud of black gas began to emerge from Kedar's body.

The holy fire released by the combat skill Baptism of Holy Fire can dispel the abnormal conditions in others and then burn them.

Both the buff state and the debuff state will be dispelled, which is why Kedar's body emits that special black energy.

But Mana knew it, but others didn't know.

After watching the extremely holy flame igniting Kedar, black energy emerged from his body. Many people noticed the movement here, and the faces of those who came to check had a look of horror on their faces.

Black energy, darkness, etc. can always make people think of evil things.

In addition, due to the existence of the branch temple of the Light Cult in Sadek City, the Dark Moon Cult, which corresponds to the darkness, has always been wanted.

At this time, some people couldn't help but doubt Kedar's identity.

"The city lord's body is burning with a dark aura. Could it be that he has already been controlled by the Dark Moon Cult's people?"

Someone heard this and immediately said: "I felt strange at the time why the city leader was so opposed to the spread of the Holy Light Religion."

"Now it seems that the reason has been found. He is most likely afraid of the holy God of Holy Light."

"After all, the gods believed in by the Dark Moon Cult have fallen. Without the blessing of the gods, they simply cannot fight against the church under the command of the God of Holy Light."

The power of brainstorming is powerful. Following the words of some residents, Mana didn't even say anything, and everyone had already characterized Kedar's situation.

On the contrary, he didn't care so much about the Holy Light Cult killing the city lord in the street.

Through the continuous suppression and propaganda of the Light God Religion, the Dark Moon God Religion is completely regarded as an unscrupulous cult in the eyes of everyone.

Kedar's association with these people is completely seeking his own death.

As the flames burned, Kedar's body was quickly burned away.

"Kedar is dead, who among you will continue to resist?"

Mana looked solemnly as she looked at the people in the city lord's palace.

She is not worried about the revenge of the Kweir Empire, nor is she worried about the so-called Lawrence family.

"The Lord of Kedar City has an affair with the Dark Moon Cult. We didn't know about these things before, so we will give up the resistance immediately."

In the city lord's palace, someone shouted in panic.

"Please forgive us, we are all uninformed people and have not participated in things against the Holy Light Religion."

Mana heard this and said seriously: "Don't worry, Holy Light is just and kind, and will never kill innocent people."

"Visio, take the soldiers to deal with the City Lord's Mansion and let everyone in the City Lord's Mansion leave."

"Analyzing it, let's go and take a look at the situation of the City Lord's Mansion. The location of this mansion is excellent. It is the core of Sadek City. It is not far from the Holy Light Church. It is also good for living."

A group of people entered the mansion, and Visio quickly dismissed everyone in the city lord's mansion, not even those relatives of Kedar.

But at this moment, Visio made an unexpected discovery and hurriedly reported it to Mana.

"High Priest Mana, we found several master sculptors from Sadek City in the City Lord's Mansion. According to them, Kedar deliberately imprisoned them here in the City Lord's Mansion in order to cause trouble for us."

A white-winged man had an annoyed look on his face as he recounted the information sent by Visio.

Jessica was startled, "What! No wonder we couldn't find the master sculptor in Sadek City before. It makes me wonder that we can't find the master sculptor in a major city as big as humanity."

"Now it seems that these are the reasons. Because of what Kedar did, many master sculptors were imprisoned, and some who got the news in secret also left one after another."

Mana said calmly: "Okay, Jessica, now that Visio has found the master sculptor, let her bring these people over quickly. Our Lord's statue is already the most critical thing at the moment."

Everyone checked the city lord's mansion and found three master sculptors.

After Mana let them rest for a day, the work of building the statue officially began.

Everything is on track.

Mana didn't take action in what happened next.

It's not that the Dark Moon Cult cannot be dealt with by Visio and the others, it's just that because of the existence of the City Lord's Mansion, they lacked information channels and were unable to fully search for the existence of the Dark Moon Cult.

As for the Adventurer Guild, Mana believes that with Kedar as a precedent, they should be able to get the news soon, and they will not continue to hinder them at the risk of being targeted by the Holy Light Church.

the other side.

In a principality near the Kingdom of Keweir.

"Cough cough cough!" Many people were walking on the street with weak and pale faces, purple lips, and empty eyes.

A middle-aged man wearing a white robe with an equally pale expression looked at everything around him, with a look of horror on his face.

"Is this a plague? Why is it happening suddenly?"

"Bishop Matthew, please save us. I heard that the monks of the Light Cult have the ability to dispel the pain of disease."

"Last night, I suddenly felt weak in my body. Even if I went to see a doctor, it had no effect, so I came to the church immediately at dawn to wait."

A fat man in gorgeous clothes looked at the middle-aged man and said.

When the middle-aged man, Matthew, heard this, his expression became even more ugly.

"Didn't the doctor tell you what disease you have?"

When the fat man heard this, he shook his head and said, "The doctor said that this is not an ordinary disease. It is most likely some kind of curse."

"The doctor has no way to cure this curse. He can only come here to seek your help."

When Matthew heard this, he looked deeply at Fatty.

Any regular doctor should be able to figure out that the fat man's condition is a plague, not a curse.Therefore, there is only one possibility. This fat man has a bad temper in daily life, and can even be said to be violent. This is why the doctor dare not tell the truth, fearing that his life will be affected.

However, as doctors, most of them are benevolent and cannot bear to see the plague spread, so they recommended him to come to the church and wanted to use Matthew's identity to tell the story.

"Where are the others? When did this happen to you?"

Matthew looked at the people behind the fat man.

"I suddenly felt unwell last night." Many people said.

"I got sick this morning, Bishop Matthew. Are we really cursed?" someone said.

Matthew was silent. The number of these people had reached more than 100 people.

If the truth of the matter was told, one can imagine how desperate they would be.

But if it is not spoken out, the impact of this matter will be greater.

"Archbishop Matthew, can we still be saved?" As Matthew remained silent, many people noticed something strange about him.

"Ugh!"

With a sigh, Matthew looked helplessly at everyone.

"I already know what's going on with you."

Matthew looked at a city defense soldier behind him and said, "Surround these people first to prevent them from escaping."

When these people were surrounded by soldiers, Matthew said helplessly: "This is a plague, not a curse."

"Now, after one night, maybe this plague has spread, and there is nothing I can do."

"Everyone should go back and self-isolate first. Don't get close to other people and don't come into contact with family members."

"I need some time to find a cure for this plague. In the meantime, the plague cannot continue to spread."

When everyone heard that it was a plague, their faces showed panic.

"Plague? Why did the plague appear?" Someone shouted in horror, and the scene was a little out of control for a while.

"Obviously not many people have died here recently, and nothing unusual has happened."

In the chaotic scene, many people were trying to escape in panic.

Fortunately, Matthew had anticipated this situation in advance and allowed the city defense forces to control the situation here.

"If you dare to act recklessly, I will kill you now."

The city defense troops were no better than the people from the Church of Light. When they heard it was a plague and saw these people rushing towards them, they immediately shouted loudly.

In order to increase deterrence, some city defense troops directly killed those who got too close to them.

Plague, who is not afraid of it?
Now a group of people infected with the plague are approaching, and no one dares to be contacted by these people.

"Hurry up and notify the Duke, and ask him to send someone to notify the Light Cult. I hope it's not too late." Matthew shouted to a city defense force.

"By the way, starting from today, no matter whether you are infected with the plague or not, you must cover your face with gauze, and everyone must avoid physical contact."

Looking at his face, Matthew knew clearly that he might also be infected with the plague.

It's just that as a transcendent, his resistance is stronger. This plague is still hidden in his body and has not completely broken out.

The whole town soon became silent. From time to time, some soldiers with better health and stronger immunity patrolled the streets.

In one house after another, some people hid behind windows and looked at everything on the street.

If there weren't some soldiers walking by from time to time, they might have thought this was an uninhabited town.

Not only people, but also some birds in the sky will fall from the sky when passing through the town.

This is a plague against all living things.

Both humans and animals were infected one after another by this plague and died quickly.

The plague soon spread in the Principality of Demoli.

Although Matthew had tried his best to restrict people from leaving to prevent the spread of the plague, the plague soon spread in the principality.

For a time, everyone in the entire principality was in danger, and the surrounding principalities and the Kingdom of Kweir also knew about this matter.

They all remain on alert against the Principality of Demoli and do not allow people from the Principality to enter the territory of their own country.

After all, the scale of this plague is extremely powerful. If you want to deal with this plague, you can only choose the best and most cruel method.

Isolate all patients and let the plague patients die cleanly on their own.

However, things often don't go as expected. The horror of this plague far exceeds the imagination of surrounding countries.

Except for the good luck of Duke Keweil, who was not affected by the plague, the two surrounding principalities were soon infected with the plague.

"Well, what's going on here?"

The king of the Principality of Kewell stood on the throne in panic.

The principality of Demoli has been spread by the plague, and some cases of plague have also appeared in the two nearby principalities.

If this continues, can the Kingdom of Kweir continue to be so lucky that the plague is not introduced?
"Your Majesty the King, haven't we already informed the Light Cult about the plague?"

"It's not like we haven't seen plague in the past, but the people of the Light God Religion can solve it very well. I believe this time the Light God Religion can also solve this matter before the plague is introduced into the Kingdom of Keweil."

Someone comforted the king, but he couldn't help but feel resentment deep in his eyes.

"By the way, I heard that a new church appeared in the main city of Sadek near the Endless Mountains, called the Holy Light Cult. They believe in the true god."

"It just so happened that one of them killed the city lord of Sadek City last time. Although that city lord had already had an affair with the Dark Moon Cult, it was a disgrace to the kingdom after all."

"I don't think it's better to do this. We'll notify both the Guangming Cult and the Holy Light Cult at the same time."

"Tell the Holy Light Cult that as long as they solve the plague issue, we will not pursue any matter of them killing a city lord."

"We can even establish the Holy Light Religion as the state religion from now on."

When King Kewell heard this, he glanced at the minister suspiciously.

"I remember that the city lord is a member of your Lawrence family, right? You want me to offend a god for the sake of the second son of the Lawrence family?"

Hearing this, the man hurriedly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, it is no longer a matter between families. If the plague continues to spread, not only the Demoli Principality will be finished, but we will also be finished."

"Although Kedar is indeed the second son of the head of the Lawrence family, this matter cannot be treated one-sided."

"The Holy Light Church will definitely continue to spread. The God of Light has fallen and it is impossible to stop them."

"What we are facing now is actually an opportunity, an opportunity to make good friends with the Holy Light Cult."

After saying this, the man's tone became calm again.

"Although we are questioning and punishing in name, we are actually testing and helping."

"For the Holy Light Church, if they accept this matter, wouldn't it be an opportunity for expansion if we make them the state religion in the future?"

"If they can't finish it, it means the church has no potential, and we can avoid wasting time on them."

"So we didn't offend the gods, but this was a way to make friends with each other."

When King Kewell heard this, his expression became much calmer.

"That being said, it's pretty good."

But at this moment, another person stood up and asked in a cold voice: "If the Holy Light Church is not completed, what should we do?"

"You are questioning the order this time. If the Holy Light Church does not complete it, does His Majesty the King still need to issue a decree of punishment?"

"Your Majesty the King, this idea is indeed good, but I suggest not to follow this idea completely."

"The first thing we need to know is that there is a real god behind the Holy Light Church."

"For a mortal, even a king among mortals, to issue an order to the church of God in the form of a command, and even with a questionable order, is undoubtedly crossing the line."

"So I suggest that it might be more appropriate to change this question from the original order to a request."

"In this way, no matter whether the Holy Light Church succeeds or not, our goodwill has been shown before God."

"Lawrence Kedar's previous deliberate obstruction of the Holy Light Church can also eliminate the bad impression the Holy Light Church has on us."
