Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 2363: Green Forest Hero Zhentarin

The ignored Zhentarin, even though he was dying, still struggled to move twice so that his feet could kick the bastard next to him in the face.

Although it was weak and powerless, it at least left two large red and black size 42 footprints on the face of the Talona believer.

Several knights who were squatting on the side with shields raised in front of William, ready to defend at any time, moved slightly, but finally chose to ignore it.

Even if these two guys have some ulterior motives and have some poison or plague in their hands, under the current circumstances, they will be instantly destroyed if they are taken out.

This large-scale purifying light emitted by the Emerald Holy Scripture cannot last for three days and three nights, which is a slander against Lansendel.

Therefore, even though the two thieves had some good stuff in stock, they had no courage to try again.

As they are either senior believers or voters, they know very well that even if they have some disposable weapons with strong enough lethality, it would be a dream to use them against the gods.

It’s not Umberlee… The two thieves who have been away from Toril for a long time are still looking at people with the old eyes.

But it is precisely because of those past experiences that they can feel the power of the god in front of them... Sometimes the question of divine power is useless, and Suni is still very powerful! Let her fight with Thom and try.

Priesthood is important.

Of course, a weak one who has neither combat priesthood nor background is really weak.

People like them who are in the circle of supernatural powers know very well what kind of existence they cannot afford to offend.

The reason why the story of Lansendel's injury and bleeding has been circulated for so long and shocked the whole world is because it was the first time that a mortal actually hurt the essence of a god!

Even so, it was because that guy was the chosen one of the Goddess of Magic, and what hurt Lansendel was the Silver Fire inherited from Selûne... That was a powerful artifact comparable to that of a divine weapon!
The so-called weak artifacts in their hands are just given as gifts to others.

Although the embodiments of justice are very picky, they will not covet their precious hidden weapons unless they are stupid enough to use them.

So, even though Zhentarin hated the Talona believer to the point of madness, he still rationally chose to make himself suffer.

After all, it was only a temporary pain now. If he used his real precious weapon without being sober, it would be an eternal pain, a pain that he would never close his eyes after death... Even if he had no chance of survival this time, the weapon hidden in a hidden dimensional space might still be obtained by him when his soul was reincarnated again.

Even if it's not him anymore, it's better than letting others get it for free!
Besides, as believers of Bane, if they do not die in this world directly controlled by the Styx, they still have a way to awaken their consciousness from the low-level undead creature stage and serve Bane again.

Otherwise, considering that Bane and his three companions behave no differently from lunatics, how could there be so many evil believers following him so loyally!
Everyone knows that if you are not a good person, you will definitely not have a good ending when you die.

The best outcome is to rush into the City of Death in the River Styx, but basically you still end up being a maggot.

But if the soul is marked with the mark of Bane, who was once related to death, or even Cyric, everyone may get a second life.

Even though skeletons don’t get much to enjoy, they are still themselves after all, right?
As for those guys who are so evil that they can instantly become big demons as soon as they fall into the bottomless abyss...ha~that also requires a certain level.

Although they are not good people, and although they cheat, deceive, and kill people without any reason, they really don't have the ability to do that.

Even the guys who killed hundreds of thousands of civilians don’t have that kind of fate!
William suddenly smiled... He was obviously interested in this Zhentarim.
-
Hill actually became somewhat interested in that Zhentarim.

How should I put it...Zentalin is definitely a bad guy.

But their evil is more like that of bandits who rule the mountains.

Even in Hill's previous world, there were always people who would call those people with a bit of humanity "outlaws".

Although they certainly don't count.

After all, the meat they ate and the wine they drank contained the blood and flesh of ordinary people.

But why would anyone praise them?

It is because these people are too lazy to rob the poor of their few copper coins, they prefer to go after merchants or small nobles.

Even in the ancient times when agriculture was emphasized and commerce was suppressed, merchants with vicious minds could commit great sins, not to mention a hellish place like Toril.

The reason why they did not cause natural disasters or man-made disasters is that when they had the strength, there would be strong people who would take action against them.

Neither the good camp nor the evil camp will let such a big piece of fat slip away.

Of course, these businessmen will definitely pay tribute to those powerful people, but... when killing you can allow me to earn hundreds of years of protection fees at once, most people will take action.

Then there was a speechless absurdity: in the Zhentarim-controlled area, the poor might live a little better than in Neverwinter or Waterdeep... They might not have enough to eat, and they would certainly be oppressed, but at least they wouldn't have to give away every penny they earned.

Of course, this refers to those small control areas.

A place like Zhentil Keep is definitely not a place where ordinary people can survive... After all, in an area completely controlled by the evil god, human existence itself is a resource.

Especially when the identity of the leader finally fell into the hands of a priest, it goes without saying that anyone with a little bit of blood in his veins might be sent to the altar for sacrifice.

But in that kind of complex area where evil forces and good forces coexist, Zhentarin is the best among the evil forces.

No one can ask these poor people who live such a hard life and cannot even see tomorrow to think about politics and stance. They only know that they cannot survive here, but they can survive in Zhentarim.

Therefore, among the many evil forces controlled by Bane, the Zhentarim are the most famous.

Some guys who have no choice but to stay in the evil camp will basically cover themselves with a layer of Zhentarim skin.

The Zhentarim in front of William had a similar aura.

Hill has discovered that William is using his aura of judging good and evil that is totally inconsistent with the style of the multiverse.

There are some people who look blood red in Toril, but they are okay in William's place.

The red name is still red, but the color is lighter.

This is because they may have assassinated some high priests of righteous gods... If they are enemies of justice, their evilness will increase rapidly.

But William's aura would not be judged by such things.

If the assassinated high priest's every move was related to the victory of the good camp and the safety of civilians, and even if he was deeply loved by the people, William's halo would make the same judgment as the multiverse.

But if... anyone who has seen the high priests of the noble god of Trahil will understand that some old guys are really looking for death.

It's just that most people don't have the ability to send them to death.

These people will be counted as defensive counterattacks, or at most excessive defense.

Of course, William doesn’t care whether these people will fall into depravity because they have to join the evil camp... Your injustice is worthy of sympathy, but since you chose to embrace evil and became the evil dragon you killed that year, you can’t blame anyone.

But if he just dabbled in it, didn't care, or even went with the flow, and didn't take the initiative to do anything, William wouldn't have to kill him.

William has never agreed with the judgment of good and evil in the multiverse.

He is just used to focusing on his own family and not caring about other people's internal affairs.

Maybe it was because of the two kicks from that Zhentarin who was so angry that he had to kick half to death that made William think that this guy might be worth observing, so the Lord of Justice and Fairness silently sent out his not-so-obvious transparent halo.

This was also something William had figured out after much effort... After all, he had come into contact with many other worlds, and it was impossible that when he made judgments, the results would always be different from those of other gods!

Therefore, he always uses double halos.

The layer of silver light above, brighter than diamonds, was the Judgment Halo that he had slightly modified to be closer to the generally accepted concept of the multiverse... He only modified a part of it that was a type that William would absolutely not accept.

Then there will be a layer of transparent halo underneath, which is completely in line with Trahill's judgment principle.

At this moment, the ground where Zhentarin was lying was faintly glowing with a layer of black and gray halo, proving that he had indeed killed a lot of people, but had never touched the most basic principles, such as attacking civilians.

But there are definitely people who kill people for no reason just because they don't like them. Maybe they kill believers of God, but they are probably not truly good people.

But then again, how many good people in Toril can there be in the traditional sense?
Not to mention this world.

But the Talona believer next to him, who was so timid and didn't dare to say a word even after being kicked, just got a little bit involved, and his halo immediately turned black and red.

It's easy to tell that this guy has caused a city to be destroyed by plague more than once.

So, although among the two thieves, the follower of Talona was obviously more honest and humble, and the Zhentarim occasionally showed an attitude of not wanting to speak or cooperate, the undead were still a little nicer to Zhentarim... When he wanted to remain silent or talk about something else, they just stabbed him a few times with a dagger.

During treatment, systemic treatment is also given.

Of course, Zhentarin immediately told the truth... It's not that he didn't want to say it, but there were some things he didn't want to say under the gaze of so many eyes.

For example, he was a chosen one, but was sent to this unimportant world by Bane... He was sent here when Zhentil Keep was still at its heyday!
