Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 159 Breakthrough
After killing the riders of the Dawn Knights, Rhodes and the others continued to set off.

As for the consequences of killing the members of the Knights of Dawn, Rhodes was not too worried. If someone died in such a small village, those villagers would definitely find someone to find the local lord.

By the time the villagers slowly approached the local lord to report the incident, Rhodes and the others had already left his territory.

And the local lord needs to send people to arrest Rhodes and the others, and also report to the noble lord who swore allegiance to him. Maybe after they finish this, Rhodes and the others have already sent Misail back to Glory City. If Rhodes and the others A little faster might have returned to Nord.

During the rest of the journey, Misaier seemed a little absent-minded, riding alone on a horse with a pale face and not knowing what he was thinking about.

Seeing her like this, Rhodes felt that he was responsible. What he said just now might directly shatter Missel's belief for so many years. Even if it wasn't to such an extent, she should start to gradually doubt the god she believed in.

After Rhodes controlled the traveling horse to approach Misel, he tried to comfort her, "Actually, the Lord you believe in might really exist, but it doesn't care about ordinary humans, just like we treat ants on the ground."

"If it is as indifferent to human beings as you said, then it is not the Lord I believe in." Michelle shook his head.

"Then what do you think the Lord you believe in should be like?" Rhodes asked.

"The Lord should be merciful and selfless. It burns itself to provide light and warmth to the world." Misaier replied after thinking for a while.

"It not only provides light and warmth to humans, but also to everything in the world." Rhodes said without thinking, "Maybe humans are the same as other creatures in its eyes, and the struggle between humans and humans is like eating wolves in its eyes." It is normal for a rabbit to eat grass, and the rise and fall of a person's honor and disgrace is the same as the withering of a weed in its eyes."

Michelle was stunned after hearing Rhode's words. This was the first time she had heard of this statement, and she seemed to understand something.

Even Rhodes admired him a little. He felt that he could be a philosopher in the future, although what he just said borrowed some Taoist ideas, which was a bit similar to "the world is not benevolent, and everything is a humble dog".

Just when Rhodes was complacent, a coercion rose from Missel's body, and then completely dissipated.

Rhodes looked at Michelle strangely. Before, she felt like a small sun, her body was full of radiance and heat. Now Michelle seems to be integrated with this heaven and earth. Could it be that this is heaven and man? Unity?

"What's wrong with you?" Rhodes asked curiously.

"I seem to have broken through the shackles that have been binding me before." Michelle also looked blank.

It didn't take long for her expression to return to normal.

"I understand. The real god is what you said. It is only responsible for managing the operation of the world's laws and is indifferent to us humans. Whether it is the bishop or the head of the group, they are all wrong." Missel said calmly.

"???" Rhodes didn't expect that Missel's thinking would change drastically by borrowing some Taoist ideas casually.

But it is true, what they believe in is the sun, if nothing else, the sun in this world is just a star, as for a lot of other messy things, they are all imagined out of thin air, and a star must be of great importance to the people around them. The creatures on the planet it orbits are indifferent.

"We'd better speed up, I want to return to Glory City earlier." Michelle said firmly while looking into the distance.

"Thank you!" She turned to Rhodes.

Hearing Michel's thanks, Rhodes felt a little embarrassed.

"Then what did you mean when you said you were blessed by the gods to use divine arts?" Rhodes asked.

"I don't know either, I think you are very talented in theology, why don't you stay with me in Glory City?" Michelle said and turned her face away a little, she wanted Rhodes to see that her face was a little red.

"Forget it, I still want to get married and have children." Rhodes hastily refused, in his impression that clergy were not allowed to get married.

As for why Michel was able to use divine magic, Rhodes had his own guess after simply thinking about it. It may be that a certain part of the body has an extra tissue or organ than normal people, which can absorb the energy of the sun and use it differently. Magical spells.

This possibility is very high.

"Who said we can't marry and have children? If people who believe in the Lord can't marry and have children, then how can human beings continue?" Michel tried to change Rhodes' thinking.

Rhodes didn't correct the ambiguity in Michel's words. He shook his head, "I'll study theology after I prove that dialectical materialism doesn't work in this world."

"What is dialectical materialism?" Missel asked.

"It's too complicated to explain." Rhodes said that dialectical materialism is an excellent achievement of human culture in the world before time travel, and it is also a philosophical theory he has always believed in.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you." Michelle bit her lip and said.

Rhodes didn't pay attention to these details, and his thoughts had already flown to nowhere.

Be sure to build an astronomical telescope in the future to see if the sun is a star or a burning god.But it is very troublesome. To produce transparent and flawless glass and a light-shielding film that can protect the eyes from being burned by the sun, the manufacturing method of glass is still very simple. The principle is mentioned in junior high school chemistry, but it is difficult to produce transparent and flawless glass. It's still a bit big, let alone polished into a convex lens.

"What are you two chattering about?" Baron asked curiously. It would be boring to ride a horse on the road without saying a word. The main reason is that Hamer is not as talkative as before, or else he Can walk and talk with Hamer.

He saw Rhodes and Michel chatting so happily and wanted to join in the fun.

"It's nothing." Rhodes, who was wandering in the sky, was pulled back to reality by Baron.

"You're so boring." Baron snorted.

"Let's speed up our progress. I want to return to Glory City sooner." Michel said suddenly.

"Is this kid Rhodes making you unhappy?" Baron asked.

"No, I have important things to go back early." Michelle said.

Rhodes felt that it might not be a good thing for Michelle to go back and share what she had learned. Maybe there would be some stubborn people who were unwilling to believe her point of view, and might even attack her because of it.

"How about we stay with you in Glory City for a while, I think you might attract some people's attacks if you go back and spread what you've learned," Rhodes said.

"No, I think I can solve this." Michelle said confidently.

Rhodes felt that it was still necessary to stay for a while at that time. Now that Missel is confident, there is a high probability that it may just be an expansion after a sudden increase in strength, or he trusts other members of the Knights too much.

To be honest, Rhodes doesn't have a good impression of the knights in this world, only Misel's knights are not bad, and only Sven is a bit annoying, but it's just a problem common to some young people.

As for other knights, such as the Blue Sea Knights and the Dawn Knights, they all left a bad impression on him...
