I Have Refined Qi For 3000 Years - 642. 9. Greed
“The knight guarding the east gate of the capital of Wright is the most powerful knight in the entire kingdom. It can even be said that the mountain knight Baldwin. I believe you met him when you came out?”
On the big river where five fingers could not be seen, the old man rowed this trembling flat boat and talked with Ivan.
“I heard that he is a figure that existed before this era. He could enter the palace in the sky and share the supreme glory with the King of Dawn.”
“Then how did he become like that?”
Ivan asked curiously.
“Hey, because of the original sin of mankind.”
An ironic smile was sketched out on the bottom half of the old man’s face.
“Because of greed.”
He slowly shook the oars and recounted:
“I heard that this mountain knight used to be a knight who was loyal to a certain character before the beginning of the Light Era. During the Dark Era for many years, he followed this character in the north and south wars and made many achievements. The character did not treat him badly, and gave him many honors and rewards, but he was not satisfied with this. He knew that his master had found the most beautiful treasure in the world in the dark, so he sold his master to the enemy of the master in exchange for it. After the Light Era, the King of Dawn judged merits and rewards, judged good and evil, and poured the treasure he got from betraying his master into a golden armor, covering him forever. He was punished. In time, he became a slave knight of the kingdom of the believer of the King of Dawn, guarding the gate for mortals forever.”
Listening to his words, Ivan suddenly remembered the fragmented memories he had seen in the chaotic sea of thinking.
But he himself didn’t know whether it was his memory or the memory of the spirit he plundered from the mountain knight.
The boat was swaying, and a light suddenly appeared in front of it. Ivan saw a round of sun on the river. Although it was already a slanting sun, it was only in the afternoon. Even if compared to the cemetery where Ivan woke up, the light here was even more intense. Strong.
The old man seemed to be a little impatient and pulled the boat slowly to the shore, letting Ivan get off the boat.
“Sorry, I really don’t like things like light, hehe.”
The old man laughed in a low voice:
“The residents of this country are more [enthusiastic] than those from the capital of Wright. You have to be careful not to be [captured] by their enthusiasm.”
The boat left the bank and slowly disappeared into the darkness on the river.
Ivan turned around and looked at the “country” in front of him.
Desolate, this is the first impression this country brings to him.
Rugged mountain roads, bumpy stone bricks, this country has obvious man-made traces, but it looks very crude, and its technical capabilities are obviously very low.
Ivan climbed up the mountain road and found that there was still a large stone gate on the top of the mountain road. The stone gate was tightly closed and some wonderful symbols were painted on the door.
He pushed the stone gate, but even with the power he gained after defeating many enemies, including the two powerful enemies, the Dark Iron Golem Knight and the Mountain Knight, there was no way to shake this huge stone gate.
In desperation, Ivan could only make a detour.
He found a path next to Shimen, using both hands and feet, climbed to the top of the mountain next to Shimen, and finally saw the country inside Shimen.
It is a city slightly smaller than the capital of Wright. Most of the buildings in the city are stone houses. Compared with the exquisite buildings of the capital of Wright, it is far inferior, but it can be seen that the number of people who once lived here Still a lot.
Ivan found a slope from the inside of the stone gate and slid down. As soon as he landed, he heard a dog barking.
A few scrawny villagers ran over with a few bulldogs, and when they saw Ivan, they didn’t ask what they were doing, and directly attacked Ivan.
They all had red eyes and shriveled bodies. The dogs were also skinny, obviously in a state of irrational madness.
The villagers held only crude farm tools, rakes, hoes, and sickles for harvesting grains. They were also wearing cloth clothes, weak in defense, and not too strong in combat ability.
The real trouble is as always, those wailing dogs, compared to the fierce dogs domesticated by the knights in the capital of Wright, are more ferocious than they are.
Ivan died here because the villagers called out friends and friends, calling out more villagers and more dogs, trying to block him here, Ivan fought all the way, and finally killed Going out, rushed into the town, found a safer small room, and hid temporarily.
Taking this opportunity, he also used the ring to call out the grave guard girl, asking the other party to help him digest the spirit accumulated in his body.
“Really? You have arrived in that forbidden country.”
While gently stroking Ivan’s palm to help him digest the spirit in his body, the grave guard girl said:
“That country is buried in many secrets that other countries don’t want others to know. The founder of that country was originally a heretic in the eyes of most races in the world.”
“pagan?”
Ivan quietly felt the spirit in his body blend into himself, while babbling.
“Yes, in this world, people mainly believe in the four gods.”
The grave guard girl said:
“Countries headed by the Northern Kingdom believe in gods in the heavenly palaces such as the King of Dawn, and countries headed by the Southern Swamp Kingdom believe in the lord of the underworld, the elves living in the eastern jungle, and believe in their own elves. God, and in the mountains of the west, dwarves and orcs believe in their father of fire and metal.”
“Are you an elf too?”
Ivan looked at the pointed ears of the grave guard girl and asked.
“It used to be.”
The grave guard girl retracted her palm and smiled gently:
“But I don’t believe in the so-called spirit gods.”
“Then who do you believe in?”
Ivan asked.
The grave guard girl just smiled, and did not answer.
Once again, bid farewell to the girl, Ivan came to the center of the town tossing around.
After talking to the grave-keeper girl, Ivan felt that perhaps he should explore the deity believed in this country.
The gravekeeper girl told him so much, but did not say which god the country believes in. He felt that the secrets buried in this country must be the same as the one who made this country collectively labeled as “different”. The deity of the “congregation label” has something to do with it.
The girl deliberately didn’t say it, or she was guiding him intentionally or unintentionally, and came to explore the secret of that god.
After some exploration, he found that in this town, there is also a church.
In the church, the overall layout is similar to that of the Dawn King’s church, but in the seat of the gods, a man in the armor of a heavily armed knight and a big sword is enshrined.
But this idol currently has no head, so Ivan doesn’t know what it looks like.
In addition to this idol, there is another existence in this church.
