Chapter 272 On the Feasibility of Solo Purcell

"That's right. I killed Claude."

"The dagger is mine, the poison is mine, the one who attacked him was me, and the one who made up for it is still me. I admit this, and I repent of my sin."

"But, Xila, I wasn't the one who killed Claude."

"Think about it, Sira——Claude was the priest of the Goddess of War, but died on Christmas Day under Tyre's crown. Now he was awakened by Jupiter IV to become a saint, presided over his own funeral, and His behavior is controlled by him, and there is no peace after death."

What Roland said to Xila not long ago still echoed in Xila's ears.The emotions that had just calmed down were about to churn again.

With the power of the oath, Xi La was able to confirm that Roland had not told a single lie from beginning to end.

At that time, Sira retorted subconsciously: "But... the sword is born in the light, the believers of His Royal Highness Sivir and His Majesty Tyre are originally a family..."

"Forget that sentence, Sira. That's a doctrine tampered with by Jupiter IV."

Roland interrupted Sira's struggle without hesitation: "Your Majesty Tire said that because in the 91st year of the Gods' Calendar, His Highness Sivir won a complete victory in the crusade against the devil believers, and thus sent a message to the Goddess of War. Praise. At that time, there was no such thing as two factions as one."

"In the 131st year of the divine calendar, Leonardo I, the first pope crowned by Tire, compiled and published "Its Righteousness Is Like a Sword" in his later years. It clearly stated that God is the father, the mother, the teacher, That is, the ancestors, His Highness Sivir and other gods are respectable and fearful, but they must not be confused with our lord and father Tyre, and they should be worshiped together. This passage shows that although His Majesty Tire and His Highness Sivir have the same principles There is a father-daughter relationship, but there must be a clear line between the two sects of believers."

Roland's voice kept echoing softly in Sira's ears.

At that time, Roland, who was wearing a black robe, was standing in the vast snow, looking up at the scene where Sira was explaining the classics of Tell, which almost made Sira think that Roland was a devout follower of Tell.

At that moment, in Xi La's eyes, Roland almost overlapped with his teacher.

"However, Jupiter IV blatantly ignored the teachings of Leonardo I, and openly declared that the 'sword born in the light' mentioned in the book "Wang Sun" refers to the establishment of Tyre above Sivir. Affiliation... If you don't believe it, Xila, you can go to the Shenli Library to check it yourself. As you, you can go to the top floor to check the first edition of the rare books. At that time, you will know what I said There is no falsehood."

Roland's words almost shook Xi La's faith.

No need to check at all.It was precisely because Xi La could tell that Roland hadn't said a single lie that Roland's words hurt him so deeply.

Seeing the monster floating in the air in front of him and exercising Tyrian magic, Xi La was finally out of anger——

It was iconoclastic rage.Growing up under the glory of Jupiter IV, she has always heard the name of Jupiter IV's wisdom, but now, Sira finds that "wisdom" and the wiseness she imagined are two completely opposite things .

If it is said that tolerating evil and cultivating heresy can be called wisdom, then Xila would rather be a fool all his life.

The world is dirty enough, what would the world be like if the temple lost its purity?
Sira couldn't imagine it.All he knew was that Tyr had taught him not to shrink back from the wicked.Even at sacrifice, the scalding blood can make it a little less filthy.

Compared with heretics such as wizards, heresy is even more unforgivable.

One side is a person with feelings, flesh and blood, who can be redeemed, while the other side is a monster that eats people... It is self-evident which side is on the side of justice.

With a firm expression, Xi La pulled out a sharp sword made of pure light from the void.

"If I'm wrong... let Tire punish me!"

After saying this sentence with a decisive attitude, Xi La suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the huge monster suspended above her head.

"This man named Xila is not a threat."

Scott shook his head and asserted to Roland in his heart.

"Because he has no faith at all... right."

Roland stood in the garden of Anvilia, communicating with Scott silently by means of messaging.

In the short time before, Roland had already seen Xila clearly.Because he is so easy to understand...or his acting skills are too proficient.

Xila is really too kind.His kindness has exceeded the level that a priest should have.

This kind of kindness really has too much autonomy.He didn't treat these people well because Tell taught him to be kind to these people; he wanted to be nice to these people, and then Tell happened to give the order to echo his wishes.

In a sense, Xila is more like a player than Roland at the moment.

Because he has no faith in Tire at all.He first chose two fields that fit his heart, and then these two fields happened to be owned by Thiel, so he had a preconceived impression of Tire.

In the relationship between the priest and the gods, Sira has the absolute initiative.Even if he has not discovered this himself, there are already signs of this.He is not like other priests who do not ask the reasons and consequences of the tasks assigned by the temple - Sira still has his own considerations, and he also wants to know the reason why the Pope assigns the tasks in this way.And this in itself is a kind of obscenity, because this question is enough to show that Xi La has not entrusted all her will to God.

His behavior is like shouting "why is there a god in this world" and "what kind of existence is a god".This idea itself is the greatest heresy.

Roland sighed.

Although he didn't tell a single lie before, [-]% of the truth can still lie.

Strictly speaking, the one who killed Claude should be the Sleeping Mentor who branded Claudia with the mark of a saint.But it was naturally impossible for Roland to say such a thing.

Therefore, Roland put together "Claude is the priest of the Goddess of War" and "died on Christmas Day under Tyre's crown", and asked Xi La to "think for herself".

...Roland himself didn't know the meaning of these two sentences.After all, he didn't know anything about the internal affairs of the Tyre church.

However, I don't know what Xi La came up with, and his whole body exploded immediately.When he went up, he had to fight with Purcell, but Roland spent a long time trying to calm him down.

If Xila faced Shangsaier alone, he would definitely die.Roland just wanted Sira to be responsible for interrupting Purcell's magic, making Purcell lose its mass destruction ability, and ensuring the orderly evacuation of the residents and wizards of the White Tower.

In this case, even if the White Tower collapses, it will not block all the wizards inside like in the past.Instead, a considerable number of wizards can successfully escape.

As for the innocent Xi La, all Roland could do was to ensure that he would not die under the hands of Sale.

As for Xi La killing Sale or something, Roland didn't even think about it.Just for the short time they held Sale, Anvilia sent dozens of wizards away.As long as it drags on for a while, Roland can die in peace.

The reason why Roland didn't rush back to the basement, and executed "Orlando" before the wizards left, to prove that he was dead, was because Roland still had some unrealistic ideas...

He wanted to kill Sayre.right here.

That's right, Sira's words alone can't handle it, even if Scott is added, it's not easy to kill him if he doesn't understand the principle of Purcell's immortality.

But there is another person here.

That is Roland who memorizes Purcell's entire strategy process and the skills he possesses by heart.

It doesn't matter if you can't use magic.It doesn't matter if there are only two people involved in the battle.You know, Scott is at the level of the highest spire, which is equivalent to a big version ahead of Sira. If you understand the style of play, there is no problem in theory with single-playing Cyre.Plus with Xiela here, Seer's nasty self-destruction at the end won't have any effect...

"Master Scott, I have something important to tell you, please remember for a moment—"

As long as Scott can understand Roland's tactics, Sale will die here today!
