01.

Night. dark. The black church.

"Yes, I'm sorry, please forgive me, please forgive me once, under the crown..."

The church candles were burning on the edge of the night, and the whole night seemed to be shaking. The darkness crowded from all directions here, oppressing him.

The priest who committed the crime of corruption was lying on the ground trembling and shaking. He was so scared that his whole body was convulsing.

The pope in a black vestment sat high on the holy throne, his black eyes like an abyss.

"I know it's cruel, and it's not dying. It's unfair to you. But ah," he looked down at him, "maybe because I was too patient with people before, but now I don't want to treat anyone other than my lord. Anyone of you is patient..."

"No! Mianxia! Don't--" The begging for mercy turned into a scream in the end, and then the whole hall became silent again, only the sound of dripping, ticking, ticking, ticking, and ticking, seemed quite gloomy in the darkness. horrible.

Monroe closed his eyes and was immersed in the silence.

He heard the rustling sound coming from the front, he heard the church messenger Leona Bell reporting the recent situation, and he also heard himself subconsciously speaking out reasonable judgments and making subtle arrangements. Although he still said this, he didn't open his eyes. His thoughts seemed to float above his head, looking at himself quietly.

I used to have a lot of appearances. Monroe thought.

When he was bullied by aristocratic children at the mission school, Teresa asked him why he had to endure those, he could beat them. He replied, this is not because of patience, but because this is the price that a humble person who was born must pay to climb up. Monroe is right, he is always right. But this world will not pity him for doing the right thing, this world makes him desperate.

He never knew where he should go, even though he did very well. After being adopted by the church, he went to church school in accordance with the usual practice and achieved one of the best results. After that, he became a priest in accordance with the usual practice, and then he was entrapped. Then he tried the way of a paladin as usual, and then became a paladin. Rather than follow the trend, it is better to follow the trend, just like everyone in this era. But he is good enough, he has no special hobbies, he puts all his energy on self-improvement. So the better he is, the more those people hate him. He didn’t understand. No one told him why. The people around him all acted like a compassionate believer. The instructor told him he wanted to love everyone compassionately. The team leader of the knight told him you want to be united and you want to love you. Your companion, it’s your fault for others to be hostile to you.

Compared with Leona Bell's tortuous experience and Spike Eriktra who crawled out of the dead, Monroe's past was not vigorous, but he was extremely scared to think about it. This is easily reminiscent of Gaslight. In this stage play, the husband's manipulation of his wife's thinking makes her think she is crazy. One of the plots is that the husband often lights the gas lamp in the attic. When the wife asks, the husband says that all of this is the wife. Imagination. Things like this deny your reality time and time again, and you gradually begin to doubt yourself. Is it because you have a problem? Why do others say that? Sure enough, you have a problem, and if there is a problem, you can correct it... Gradually you can't tell what the real reality is, and you can only accept the reality defined by the other party.

On the earth, this phenomenon often occurs in family education, but also in some companies, with a kind of brainwashing nature.

In another world, the church will often use this method to treat its own believers.

As a person with excellent objective conditions, Monroe has such a person who the church wants to erase the past. Naturally, he will be severely brainwashed and tortured by various means. The superior can handle his shortcomings well-he believes in the church, abides by the rules and virtues, so grasping this can almost do whatever he wants.

What a terrible experience.

The Pope had some impression of Monroe. He knew that most of the credit reported by the current bishop of the Holy City, Royce, actually belonged to Monroe. But the pope doesn't care, because he can put all the credit on himself, which is also a proof of ability. In his opinion.

What is Monroe thinking at this time?

Constant self-doubt, constant denial from others, and because of his personal charm, he also has a group of followers around him, the most prominent of which is Teresa Shelley. For Teresa, Captain Monroe redefines the meaning of the Paladin for him. In the eyes of Monroe's followers, Monroe is the incarnation of the Paladin. They even see Monroe, not the Pope.

——But these are burdens for Monroe, which will only make him more confused.

The only thing he could hold at the time was the sword in his hand. He continued to build credit. He was injured in battle after battle, but his soul was looking at himself when he was lying physically on the hospital bed many times. What am I doing and where is my future development?

At that time, he had actually vaguely realized that his future was not in the church. As a person who was treated like this and grew up, it was a great thing to have this kind of thought.

He took the initiative to complete various assignments, one of the reasons in fact is to explore his own future. Later, he went to the Demon Realm to guard the Demon King, which was actually one of his attempts.

We all know the result of the last attempt.

Hill completely cut off his back path and showed him the true appearance of the church he had been fighting for. Everything collapsed, and a road parted in the mist. Hill stretched out his hand to him, come, come to me.

When he held Hill's hand, he still didn't know where his future would develop.

But he knows with whom his future will be parallel.

So he said to him:

"I am not loyal to the demons, nor to the lower realms.

I am only loyal to you, Hill. "

Everything after that, whether it was power holding or becoming the Pope of Darkness, for Monroe, this was something that couldn't provoke much inner turmoil.

The most important thing is that Hill said to him more than once, you are right, you are excellent, you deserve better, you can do what you want to do.

Familiarity, opponents, friends, loyalists, lovers... Hill means too much to Monroe. Because there are too many, the relationship is not pure, but because there are too many, the relationship is deeper and more crazy.

Now, it was not the external things that led him to move forward, but Monroe's heart that was no longer entangled in the mist.

02.

The “Birds of Dawn” charity organization has grown stronger under the control of the old Jackson’s son Jefferson Jackson. It has hosted many charity dinners in the Magnolia Empire-this is out of Hill’s benefit. The created stars will also take turns to attend these charity banquets, they will take the lead in donating money, and then encourage other nobles to also donate. In addition to these nobles being able to have a dinner with these stars, their names will also be published in "Makai Magazine."

"Mayor, please help me." Jefferson Jackson said.

The mayor standing opposite him is the local emperor in this area. They formed a civilian army. There has always been a hard stubble here, and no one cares about it. If this is the case externally, internally it is even worse. Those civilians have become his private property, as miserable as slaves, and he has also implemented an ancient right-the right of virginity. Every girl in this land who wants to marry must be given to him on the first night.

"Master Jackson, we also want to survive. Why do you get involved in this? The civilians in the town are as abominable as mice. They steal, defraud, and do everything. They must use a strict system. It's in charge," the mayor said. He has no fear. The Magnolia Empire is different from Müllheim. Müllheim's nobles have a lot of private soldiers, but the Magnolia Empire is not like that. The great nobles didn't bother to control these civilians, and the young people might rush into their heads, but they would calm down by watching this posture. What's the matter, is it possible that they dare to kill people by themselves? Is it possible to report to Emperor Magnolia for such a trivial matter?

I have to say that the mayor is quite accurate about the psychology of most of the nobles in Magnolia City.

Unfortunately, I met Jefferson.

But fortunately he has now met Jefferson.

After listening to the mayor’s words, Jefferson Jackson didn’t even blink his eyes. He drew out his sword and stabbed the guard next to the mayor to death. Then he said the second sentence and repeated the first sentence. : "Mayor, please help me."

His tone was still the same as before, with a pitiful feeling, as if to win the other's sympathy.

Blood dripped from the tip of his sword.

"You--you..." The mayor widened his eyes in astonishment. He didn't expect that Jefferson, who looked no different from other noble young masters, could actually do such a thing.

Is this really the weak noble young master from Magnolia City? Aren’t those noble young masters more than a trash?

"We are willing to save everyone," Jefferson said with a gentle smile. "After all, we are a charity organization."

When he said "charity organization", he lifted his sword and stabbed another guard of the mayor, and the other party parried a bit-he died after only one parry. Jefferson learned swordsmanship since he was a child, and he was very advanced in terms of single-round swordsmanship.

"So, mayor, can you help me?"

He just drew the sword from the guard's chest when he said this, and the blood ran down from the corpse and gathered into a small stream under Jefferson's expensive sheepskin boots. He smiled at him, the smile was still similar to the beginning.

this person……

The mayor involuntarily stepped back two steps and nodded in horror.

When Jefferson walked out of town, the fine snow flew, and the snow melted as soon as it stood on his clothes, and it was as gentle as a shower of rain. He looked at the gray sky and suddenly smiled. After staying in front of those big guys for so long, you have to do something decent. He also found his way forward.

03.

The Caribbean Sea was tumbling with turbulent waves. Looking at the unnaturally gathered black clouds, experienced pirates knew that this was the power of magic, not nature. The waves in the distance seem to be tumbling and flying with the white mane of ten thousand horses, and the waves seem to be able to easily engulf ships.

"Are you crazy? Rod! Are you going to start a war?" Captain Flynn yelled at Captain Rod of the Deathbird standing on the Golden, his voice was torn apart by the sea breeze, because it was pulling. Because of the yelling voice, it can be passed to the other side.

"If you surrender, there will be no war. Lord Forint." Captain Rod replied from the deck. His voice was not high, but under the agitation of magic, it sounded against everyone's ears.

"I guess you must be crazy. I know you have someone behind you, but I didn't expect that you would actually do something against the other four pirates." Fulin murmured, "Poseidon is on top, stop this storm. Rod."

"I don't want to be patient anymore," Captain Rod said with a sigh.

"What? Do you think you used to be cautious?" Captain Flynn twitched his mouth. "In the past, you broke the rules and attacked pirates. Actually feel like I was cautious before?"

Captain Rod pondered for a few seconds before responding: "I haven't driven you all to death. This is indeed cautious."

Fulin almost fell from the Golden Ship, this guy is simply! He thought angrily.

But Fulin couldn't help it. He knew that he himself was the weakest of the four great pirates, and his fighting power was built entirely on magic spar. Nowadays, the Bird of Death’s shotgun has been replaced—this is really a replacement of the shotgun. In terms of equipment, personal combat effectiveness, and magic, the Gold is not as good as the Death Bird, plus the prestige of the Death Bird today. Flynn's thoughts turned sharply and said: "My friend, I think you should calm down. You can't level the entire Caribbean Sea with one person, not even Captain Jack."

"Why not?" Captain Rod asked, and then he raised his voice, with solemnity in his voice: "I want to re-establish the order of this sea."

"You are crazy," Fulin murmured.

"No," Captain Rod said.

"Are you sure you are not crazy? You, a human, you want to sweep this sea, are you sure you are not crazy?" Flynn said out of control.

"Well, maybe a little crazy," Captain Rod replied.

Flynn was almost mad by such Captain Rod: "You are really mad." He repeated it again.

"But it feels pretty good." Captain Rod pulled out his saber after speaking, and a grin appeared on his face, "surrender or die, choose one, my friend."

Flynn gritted his teeth and said, "I surrender."

"This is good." Captain Rod raised his hands, the waves gradually subsided, the dark clouds dispersed, the sea returned to silence, and the sun shone from the split clouds. This scene was like a miracle, and the pirates of the Dead Bird immediately began to cheer.

Fulin stared at this scene blankly, and found that his previous dissatisfaction with Captain Rod was completely gone.

Such a powerful force far exceeds the power of human beings. It is normal to do things that humans cannot do...

Captain Rod turned his head and smiled at him suddenly, "This is a good boy."

He stood in the setting sun, and the setting sun stretched his figure very long and cast it on the deck, and the shadow looked incredibly hideous.

...This is a pirate captain working with the devil.

Fulin shuddered involuntarily, and then suddenly had this kind of consciousness in his heart.

For Captain Rhodes, what he is doing now is to follow the order from Leona Bell and surrender other pirate groups as much as possible, so that the forces of the Dark Vatican will occupy an absolute position among the pirates in the Caribbean. Now the Plague Islands is the world of the Dark Vatican, and the Magnolia Empire is also spreading the faith of the Dark Vatican among the civilians through the "Bird of Dawn" charity organization, so Captain Rhode's mission is not impossible to complete. He also has the right to mobilize the Demon warriors on the Jackdaw.

You don't need to mobilize the power of the Demon like this with the Golden, but when fighting Duncan of the Invincible, you need to mobilize the Demon warriors.

After brewing for too long, Hill has begun to stretch out his own devil's claws to the human world-really devil's claws in various senses.

"Carl, Jack, I'll leave it to you next." Captain Rod turned and returned to the cabin.

"Yes, Captain." The two said in unison.

Carl is the apprentice of Captain Rhodes and the actor of Will, the hero of "Pirates of the Caribbean". He is already excellent. After experiencing all kinds of things, he has become more mature and can be alone.

Jack used to be the bottom pirate on the Deathbird. He played a miscellaneous role during the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean". He is a typical pirate who has been influenced by many demon cultures, from "The Evil King" to light music, and The murder caused by light music in the tavern, and later participated in "Pirates of the Caribbean", and felt the pirate spirit up close...Finally, he has grown up really, and the first officer is going to train this young man from the bottom up into The future sailor. But Jack jokingly said: "My name is Jack, I will be the captain in the future."

The first officer laughed at the time: "Carl, did you hear that? Someone is going to compete with you for the position of the future captain!"

"I heard it." Carl said vigorously, "I will defeat him physically and tell him why I am Captain Rod's disciple."

"You are aiming at the captain, and I aim at surpassing the captain." Isn't it just a mouthpiece, the pirates are very good at each mouthpiece, "So you are destined to lose to me, Carl." Jack said.

"You kid, watch me beat you now!"

"Come on! Who is afraid of whom!"

Seeing the two teenagers fighting together, the first officer kept laughing. At that time, he turned around and saw Captain Rod looking here, his eyes were a little soft.

The first officer was taken aback. so good. The atmosphere on the ship is really much better than before.

This is also one of the reasons why the first officer had no complaints in supporting Captain Rod to join the Dark Vatican.

Everyone is growing, everybody is maturing, everybody is on their own, and everybody has become a person who can hold up a piece of sky for others.

In the end, these people, under the leadership of Hill, will prop up the sky of the entire continent.
