The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 3 Priests and Weapons

"Eh?

Master, why did I fall asleep...

Oh yes, I saw a ghost!

The ghost that appeared in front of you with just a swipe is even more real than the one in the book! "

Yuri looked at Angela's serious and worried face, and couldn't help but shave her tall nose bridge.

"The ghost has been wiped out by me."

Angela jumped off the bed when she heard this sentence, looked around nervously and said, "Really... there is a ghost...

Master, how about we invite Father Giger here? He will definitely be able to drive away those ghosts. "

Father Jiger is the priest of Sauron Castle, and he can be regarded as the royal priest of the Sauron family, but all priests are servants of the Lord, so it is impossible to directly pledge allegiance to the Sauron family.

Of course, Father Giger, who has lived in Sauronburg for many years, has about the same status as a retainer of the Sauron family.

With the power of the Sauron family, it is natural that the priests hired cannot be the magicians on the street, but priests with real abilities.

The church in this world is not just a religious spokesperson, but also a multinational group with mysterious power!
All serious priests master one or more kinds of 'divine arts' and have all kinds of incredible abilities.

And expelling and even purifying dark creatures and ghosts is what the priests of the church are best at.

At least compared to the "healing technique" used by the church priests to fool people, which can only shine a light and cannot even disinfect or sterilize, the church priests are more reliable in killing ghosts and ghosts.

Therefore, high-level nobles worship family priests mainly to deal with ghosts, ghosts and dark creatures. Only ordinary civilians will be deceived by priests into using 'illumination' as a healing technique...

If it can't be cured, it can only show that you are not religious enough!

Of course, the nobles would not believe this kind of magic terminology.

The church does not dare to blatantly deceive the big nobles who hold secular power. At most, it deceives the honorary nobles or small nobles who do not have much real power.

Although the secular royal power in this world has some advantages over the religious power, the two sides are more of a cooperative relationship, working together to oppress and exploit the working people at the bottom.

The most intuitive manifestation is that many nobles themselves have titles such as honorary bishops, and many high-level church leaders also own large fiefdoms, and they are themselves powerful nobles!

Yuri understands this deeply, so he never thought of attacking the church. After all, the church and the nobles are both privileged classes, and they tacitly oppress the working people together. Naturally, Yuri will not make things difficult for his own class...

Although Yuri has never believed in the Lord, it does not prevent him from becoming friends with Jiger, the priest of the Sauron family.

You know, Giger also gave Yuri a magical enlightenment back then to test Yuri's talent on the mysterious side.

It's just that the result is regrettable. Yuri's talent in the mysterious side field is no different from that of ordinary people. No matter how hard he tries, he will be an apprentice for the rest of his life.

Unlike the bad street warrior training breathing methods, the knowledge on the mysterious side is kept confidential, and special emphasis is placed on talent. Without talent, a lifetime of hard work will not be as good as the results of a day's hard work by a genius.

What's more, now that guns and artillery have knocked the old forces of the Mysterious Side off the 'altar', people no longer yearn for the Mysterious Side as much as they did in history.

Many aristocrats who can easily come into contact with the mysterious side, as long as they have no talent, will not let their family children study the mysterious side. If they have that energy, it is better to train their bodies more and strive to become a first-level fighter as soon as possible.

Of course, more noble children cannot endure the hardships of training, and even when they reach adulthood, they cannot reach the physical fitness of trainee warriors, such as Yuri who likes to have fun!

"There's no need to look for Jig. The ghosts that appeared just now are not real ghosts, just some very ordinary ghosts. Killing them is just as easy as killing ordinary people. Don't you think I'm doing well now?"

Yuri comforted Angela.

He didn't want to spread the news that he was hunted down by the game, after all, this golden finger could easily remind outsiders of a 'curse'.

If it is really spread that he has been cursed, it will cause a very bad blow to the reputation of the Sauron family!

As the first heir to Earl Sauron, Yuri knows what he should do!
Angela nodded obediently after hearing this. She trusts Yuri very much. After all, she is a personal maid who has held hands since childhood. Angela, an orphan without father and mother, has no one else to rely on except Yuri!

Angela didn't need to know why Yuri did this, it was enough for her to understand that Yuri didn't want this matter to spread!
If Angela was a talkative woman, she wouldn't be able to stay with Yuri, who had two lives.

After Yuri saw Angela regaining her composure, he said to her: "Go and ask Charlie to come over."

"Yes, sir."

Charlie is the captain of Yuri's personal guard, not comparable to Bauer's captain of security. Charlie controls those elite soldiers with feathers on their heads!
He is also the most loyal soldier of Sauronburg. After every Guards soldier is killed in battle, their immediate family members will be taken care of by Sauronburg.

Charlie is a veteran left by Yuri's father, a third-level warrior, and a terrifying butcher who awakened the seeds of power.

Of course, in an era of rampant guns and artillery, Tier 3 warriors’ survivability is only slightly higher than that of ordinary soldiers...

It is still far from being invulnerable.

Even so, Charlie is the highest-ranking warrior in the entire Sauron Castle, and all the fourth-level existences of the Sauron family follow Yuri's father.

After watching Angela leave, Yuri picked up his gold-encrusted flintlock pistol hanging on the wall.

This thing was originally used as an ornament by Yuri, but he didn't expect that he would use it one day before he set foot on the battlefield.

Yuri, who had been trained in shooting as a child, skillfully loaded the lead bullets, placed them on the table, and then picked up a rapier.

Yuri danced a few times, frowned and put the rapier back to its original position, and took off the sharp command knife beside it.

"Sure enough, I'm still used to using knives as weapons, and the rapier is really something that people can't handle.

It's a pity that in the upper class, those noble children are proud to use the rapier..."

Not being used to using a rapier was one of the reasons why Yuri was not trained as a trainee warrior.

After all, both the nobles of the Old World and the New World regard machetes as weapons for lower-level officers and ordinary people. Only rapiers are the weapons that nobles should hold...
